Chapter Seventy-One: Big Head Chongzhen
Guyuan mutinied, the trilateral governor Wang Zhichen fled to Yansui Town, the closest to Guyuan, where he sent a Tang report to the imperial court, thinking that the military information of Shaanxi sacrifice was given to Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time asked Emperor Chongzhen to allow him to mobilize the troops of Datong, Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu to recover Guyuan and Fugu.

When it came to the court, it immediately caused an uproar, and the entire court became a pot of porridge.
First of all, there were phases on the encirclement and suppression and appeasement, and most of the ministers believed that natural disasters in Shaanxi were still frequent, and the court officials were expropriating and expropriating, and the people had no food, so they rebelled. The imperial court should appease and adopt a strategy of focusing on appeasement and supplementing it with suppression.
Their reasons are also very good, the imperial court is facing the pressure of wild boar skins in Liaodong, and now when the weather is warm, there is likely to be war in Liaodong.
Now the southwest is not very peaceful, and the soldiers of Jizhen have just mutinied, and the court is short of manpower!
Once the heavy troops are used in Shaanxi, it is difficult to guarantee that Houjin will not take advantage of the situation, and when the time comes, the war on the two fronts of the imperial court will put a very great pressure on the military strength and logistics, and the slightest carelessness will cause the country to be ruined. It is better to focus on appeasement, supplemented by suppression, but the effect can be better.
Of course, there are still many people who oppose it, thinking that Shaanxi sacrifice and anti-thieves have become the climate, and appeasement can no longer solve the problem, and it needs to be encircled and suppressed, and even if it needs to be appeased, it will be after the encirclement and suppression. As for the war on two fronts, the Shaanxi rebels are just a rabble, and as soon as the imperial army arrives, it will naturally be easily exterminated.
There are also people in this group who fish in troubled waters, and there are even those who have the idea of fighting official positions, and the whole court is noisy.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to participate in Qiao Yingjia, the governor of Shaanxi, this person is an extremely rigid official, does not cherish the people's strength, and expropriates violently, causing the resentment of the people in Shaanxi to boil, and thieves are everywhere, which is really worthy of the emperor's trust!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites shook his head there and said, "Please dismiss Qiao Yingjia and escort him back to Beijing." ”
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, picked his eyelids, and didn't bother to take care of him at all, at this time he was still thinking about bringing down Qiao Yingjia, and Emperor Chongzhen directly pulled him into the blacklist.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the top priority is to employ people, the trilateral governor Wang Zhichen is stupid and incompetent, just arrived in Shaanxi to take office, and then there was a rebellion in Fugu, and now the solid yuan has been lost, the entire Shaanxi is still erosive, and Wang Zhichen is the culprit!" An imperial historian stood up and said with a straight face: "The minister requests that the king's ministers be removed from their official positions as governors of the three sides and escorted back to Beijing for trial." ”
"Yes! The emperor, the minister felt that what Li Yushi said was reasonable, it was Wang Zhichen's improper command, unknown and careless, Shaanxi sacrifice will have such a big change, please escort Wang Zhichen back to Beijing and go to prison for interrogation! Several more ministers stood up and said loudly.
Emperor Chongzhen was so loud by their quarrel that he waved his hand and said, "Retreat from the dynasty!" With that, he stood up and walked to the back.
Walking to Wang Chengen's side, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Let Sun Chengzong see me in the back!" ”
After listening to so many messy suggestions, Emperor Chongzhen was very disappointed in these people in the court, he really had a thousand words in his pen, there was no side in his chest, and his selfishness was too heavy, regardless of the severity, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to drive all these people out of the court, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Coming to the back, Emperor Chongzhen took the tea handed over by Cao Huachun, took a sip of tea, and calmed down his mood.
"Ministers and grandsons Chengzong see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Sun Chengzong came to the back and saluted Emperor Chongzhen respectfully.
"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and instructed Wang Chengen on the side: "Move a stool for Sun Aiqing, bring a bowl of tea, I want to have a good chat with Aiqing today." ”
After Sun Chengzong thanked him, he sat on the stool, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "The emperor is worried about the matter of Shaanxi? In the minister's opinion, there is no need, just a thief, can't set off much wind and waves, the emperor can relax! ”
Relax? Emperor Chongzhen snorted in his heart, he couldn't set off much wind and waves, and the wind and waves were so big that he could only hang himself.
"The minister thinks that the matter of Shaanxi sacrifice is very simple to solve, it is nothing more than the word suppression, and the decision that the emperor has to make now is this, whether it is to suppress or appease, the emperor needs to get an idea, and then the cabinet will come up with a charter." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Several ministers in the cabinet will definitely be able to take care of these things, after all, the affairs of the imperial court are traceable, where there is a disaster, send money and food for disaster relief, where there is a rebellion, then send troops to quell the rebellion, no need to bother a lot, a few scholars in the cabinet can arrange it very properly."
Emperor Chongzhen took a look, is this a black man in disguise? It's true that a few academics in the cabinet are incompetent, but you can't say it so bluntly, can you?
No, it's not that simple, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while, and he understood Sun Chengzong's thoughts in his heart.
The few ministers of the black cabinet, it is really not interesting, after all, they used to be the elders of the Wei family pavilion, and now they are the elders of the Chongzhen Pavilion, basically the echo worms of the Chongzhen Emperor, what they say is what they say, and they have no opinions on doing things, but they are still good candidates for the blame.
Sun Chengzong mentioned this matter at this time, and also hacked Chongzhen's cabinet, obviously preparing to enter the cabinet himself.
What if I can't hear it? Or pretend not to hear it yourself, and see what you old fox does.
Clearing his throat, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Several ministers are quite attentive in their work, and I also have a lot to rely on, and Aiqing's statement is also deeply meaningful. As for the dispute over suppression, I don't know what Aiqing thinks? ”
The corners of Sun Chengzong's mouth couldn't help twitching, and they all said that the sacred heart is unpredictable, and the companion is like a tiger, but it doesn't have to be like this, right?
The emperor agreed to his position as a cabinet scholar, and he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the existing cabinet countless times, why did he say such a thing at this time? Could it be that the wind has changed? The emperor's mind has also changed?
Shi Fenglai and his ilk have such means? Tempted the Sacred Heart in such a short time?
Suddenly raised his head and saw Emperor Chongzhen's playful expression, Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and then knew that he had been tricked by Emperor Chongzhen, and his careful thinking was also seen through by the emperor, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Coughing softly, Sun Chengzong hurriedly said: "The minister thinks that it is the best policy to focus on soothing and suppress as a supplement. ”
Best? Emperor Chongzhen rolled his eyes, the best policy of bullshit, that's what history did, Yang He served as the governor of Shaanxi, and he made it mainly to care, supplemented by suppression, what was the result? The court had no money and no food, and it couldn't be appeased, which led to a rebellion, and even later Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others actually surrendered to recuperate, and when the time was ripe, they rebelled, and played the entire court in the palm of their hands.
