"Master, this is a little bit of his heart to honor the lord by Governor Zhang Zongheng, the military affairs of Admiral Xuanda, and Governor Zhang specially sent people to Beijing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As soon as he returned home, Zhou Tingru was still figuring out the intention of the last sentence of today's saint, afraid that once the current situation continues to be so erosive, one day His Majesty will hit the idea of Beijing official Yulu, this is amazing, and in the end, it must not be so troublesome that it can't end? I was worried about getting off the sedan chair and entering the mansion, and saw the housekeeper of my inner courtyard waiting in the courtyard, and when I saw my family coming in, I hurriedly came up.

"Where's the one who came?" Zhou Tingru had no intention of taking care of these trivial matters, but at this moment, he suddenly had a spirit, and asked urgently, there was really no delay, the situation in Shanxi was getting more and more chaotic day by day, and the previous secret letter told each other, and he could still try his best to suppress and appease, but now it has reached the point where it can not be controlled, but how to do it, I don't know much about the inside story, there is a person who understands here at this moment, where not to ask about it?

He is involved in Shanxi's military affairs, and fortunately, he has an explanation in the court, which is better than smearing with his eyes, and he has ruined his capable image in the eyes of His Majesty.

If you want to say what the situation in Qin and Jin is, the officials below naturally know, and the ministers in the court also know a little, but the only important thing is to hide it from Your Majesty, so that the Son of Heaven does not know, since the Son of Heaven does not know, the court naturally pretends not to know, and allows the millions of displaced people in Qin and Jin to make trouble, just bury their heads and ignore them, and get by.

But at the moment, Shanxi has been completely freed, the entire Jin land, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves in the south, the place that is already disturbing is not peaceful, all the taxes in the north of Jin and Jin, can barely maintain, but now there is a riot in the north, the momentum is so great that it can actually capture the provincial capital, I am afraid that the internal situation is very big, and it is called to the court to talk about it, and it must come up with a charter to suppress the thief.

Today, the Son of Heaven has instructed the Yamen to consult with him, and he has ordered that he must come up with a solution within a few days, but the trouble is very big, and it is a nerve-wracking matter to determine where to allocate the troops and horses involved, where to gather them, who to command the troops, and where they are stationed along the way every day.

Moreover, if the thieves have too many troops and horses, and they are bound to transfer troops to the empty garrison at the passes, they are afraid that foreign enemies will take advantage of the danger of entering the situation, but if the thieves are numerous, and the officers and soldiers are outnumbered, they will inevitably not be able to smoothly quell the chaos.

Therefore, there is an understanding person from Shanxi right now, how can he not meet him in person.

The housekeeper only mentioned this matter in passing, after all, his family saw that the people sent by Zhang Zongheng knew the rules, not only respectfully offered gifts, but even his own family did not forget to stuff the full two hundred taels of Shanxi bills of exchange, and only begged him to pretend that he was unintentional, and mentioned it in front of his master.

The housekeeper thought for a while, and felt that it was not very difficult, and looked at the face of two hundred taels of silver, it was okay to mention it, but he didn't care about it in his heart, secretly thinking about his own master, what kind of identity, you are the first assistant of civil officials, and the end is unspeakably expensive, and there is an endless stream of officials visiting the door every day, and there is no five-grade official outside, and there is no qualification to enter the door.

If Zhang Zongheng came in person, he couldn't say that he would still be able to see him, and you were just a Xuanda Governor who was a personal guard, and the official was only a thousand generals, and he could meet with his own family, that is, for the sake of the signboard of the Xuanda Governor and the gifts he sent, he actually thought about it, so he just smiled and didn't care, let him wait outside the backyard door.

I didn't want to hear Zhou Tingru's order to summon me at this moment, and I was suddenly shocked, what's the matter? The wind has changed? Isn't there any joint in it that I don't understand? I didn't dare to think about it, so I immediately received the order, but it was like flying to the backyard to ask for ......

"Your Governor, did you have any instructions when you came?" Zhou Tingru didn't have time to talk to such martial artists, but in order to avoid people's eyes, he took the time to ask in person.

The Qianzong's real name is Zhang, and his name is Zhantu, he is a backward in the Zhang family, quite clever, he was born in martial arts, and he was added as the governor of Zhang Zongheng, and the future is also very ambitious, plus Zhang Zongheng deliberately cultivated, went south and north, and also saw a wide range of knowledge, but the first time he saw such a big official as Shoufu, he was suddenly nervous in his heart, and he couldn't speak smoothly, but he intermittently told Zhang Zongheng what he said, and told him everything in detail, so that Zhou Tingru frowned and listened.

Listening to his awkward words like this, I was quite unhappy in my heart, and I had no intention of saying more, but the more I listened, the more shocked I became, the situation in Shanxi was worse than I thought, so I asked directly, "How many people are good at fighting in the Jin army now?" How many days will the retained food be needed?! ”

It's just that Zhang Zhantu is just a thousand generals, even if he is added as Zhang Zongheng's cronies, he doesn't know such a military event, but fortunately, before leaving, Zhang Zongheng personally wrote a secret letter and carried it with him. ”

As he spoke, he stepped aside, bowing his head and not daring to mention it again, for fear of arousing Zhou Tingru's disgust.

Zhou Tingru was stunned for a moment, took the secret music that Zhang Zhantu handed to the table, spread it out and took a look, and saw that the previous text was full of words of praying for rescue, and the whole article was flattering and sycophant, and suddenly frowned in displeasure, swept over, and only looked at the text behind it, as it was: "Today, the deputy general You Renlong, under the command of You Shilu, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, has moved to Yangqu with 800 divisions to resist the invasion, and the safety of the provincial capital can be guaranteed for a while.

It's just that the reinforcements of the various departments, with Gushan Deputy General Li Bei, the rest of Zhang Yingzhi, Liu Guangzuo, Ai Wannian, Chen Guowei, fierce as a tiger and other generals are dozens of miles away from the city, refusing to enter, and there are more battles, each losing troops and generals, and now the various departments are more than 100 soldiers, and the widow is losing more than a dozen generals, and the loss of ordnance and grain is not counted.

There is also the town guard Ningwu Sanguan chief officer Sun Xianzu Yu Jiexiu attacked the Qin thieves, strayed into an ambush, lost his armor, lost more than 2,000 divisions, and the southern soldiers sent to the north, running around and tired, the initial foothold was unstable, for the enemy to take advantage of, and heard Qinzhou, the rear of Lu'an Mansion was restless, the army was uncertain, Qindi wandered the thief army took advantage of the army to move north, captured the prefecture and county, coerced the chaotic people, became stronger and stronger, and the situation was irreparable......

Now the soldiers available in Shanxi Town, nothing more than Xu Fu came to the east to reinforce Zuo Liangyu and others, and Cao Wenzhao came to the west to reinforce the army, etc., there are 4,000 soldiers, but the thief is strong, it is really difficult to calm down for a while, and the other is the thief Li Jing, the momentum is huge, gathering tens of thousands, saying that the leader ordered the thieves, but he thought about appeasement for a long time, and admired the emperor's grace very much.

If the imperial court is sympathetic to the millions of soldiers and civilians in Shanxi, it will order them to kowtow with a piece of paper and allow moderation, and tens of thousands of people who dare to die can be added to the tens of thousands of people who dare to die. If this is the case, then Shanxi will be very fortunate, millions of soldiers and civilians will be fortunate, and the community will be even more fortunate......"

"Huh!" No matter how Zhou Tingru estimated the situation in Shanxi before, he just stayed at the point that once the imperial court issued an order, with Xuanfu and tens of thousands of elites in Datong Bingzhen going south, he could calm down the thieves in a moment, and he didn't want the situation in Shanxi to come to this point all of a sudden.

In this way, he waved Zhang Zhantu out, and was silent alone for a long time......

Seeing this, Zhou Tingru did not rush into the palace to meet His Majesty to confide in the truth about Shanxi, but was ready to make a roundabout knock on the side, ready to test Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, so he ordered someone to check the Shanxi manuscript after July, and finally found a chapter, and after verifying with others, he invited his cronies to discuss in the middle of the night, and then decided to order a capital to explore the way and play His Majesty first.

Said four years of July in Shanxi Daizhou Chun County Buddha light sage, there are people Li Shi grace, fifteen years a day to wake up, and there is the northern Zhili gentry Chen Pinliang more than 40 years without children, fortunately blessed, gifted a member of the unicorn, as auspicious, dedicated to the court, to congratulate the Son of Heaven, highlighting the world's peace.

Emperor Chongzhen heard the bad news for a long time, and suddenly got an auspicious rui, and ordered Shanxi to verify the approval according to the inspection of the Yamen, and allocated three hundred taels of silver and dozens of stones of rice grain, and ordered the monk Ding to protect the temple without mentioning it, and did not set off any waves in the court.

It's just that this matter is mentioned again, it is no longer an understatement, the last dynasty discussed a national matter, such a mere matter that has long been concluded, once it is mentioned again, I am afraid that the meaning is no longer a little bit, those who do not understand the danger, are all silent, just wait for Emperor Chongzhen to see some taste, angrily shouted, "The wind is heard, how to take such nonsense." ”

He was depressed these days, everything was not going well, Dongnu committed crimes, there were serious arrears of food and wages in various places, coupled with the turmoil in Qin and Jin, and yesterday he heard that Shanxi Town had almost fallen, where could he still tolerate this nonsense, and immediately reprimanded him heavily.

It's just that he has long forgotten that a month ago, the same book, also made him smile, to the left and right said that my country, auspicious, must be the country and the people, to this day, the attitude has changed greatly, Shanxi town is full of martial arts, all of them are bullying, with the wind to report the merits, must be taken as a way to get rid of the crime, so do not wait for the imperial history to talk again, bluntly said, "There is a division of the order, not waiting for verification, such treacherous and cunning people, immediately go to the law to deal with it, in order to set an example." ”

Together, the evil thoughts of this recital were immediately transmitted to Chen Mengji, the magistrate of Chun County, Shanxi, thousands of miles away, but unfortunately, Chen Mengji has now been a prisoner for more than a month, and he is no longer the magistrate of a county in charge of the civil affairs of Chun County on behalf of the Holy Son of Heaven.

But above the court, how can there be a tradition of leaving with a blow, at this moment, the imperial history saw that he was angry with Long Yan, so he bowed and retreated, only another person stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this performance is said by the Chunxian Li family, as far as the minister knows, it is the head of the Shanxi town as a thief Li Jing is also." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became interested, to know the court, or pretended not to know, or really did not know, almost all the officials were curious about the hundreds of thousands of thieves Li Jing who suddenly appeared, but no matter his origin or the reason for the rebellion, no one could tell why, so he asked directly, "Does the Qing family know the details?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Rong Chen and Your Majesty will talk about it in detail." The official had already been instructed by Zhou Tingru, and Zhang Zongheng's thousands of general Zhang Zhantu told him in detail, and he had already had a draft, so he came one by one, but the key was hidden, and almost all of them clearly depicted a face in their ears.

Chunxian belongs to the village, said Qinghe Village, the Li family has lived here for a hundred years, fifteen years ago, during which a family gave birth to a son, named Jing, born crazy and stupid, can not speak, and does not know the etiquette, the former Dong slave detained the side, the court detained his father for service, unfortunately died in Liaodong, only the orphan son is left in the township, every day bumps and leaves, thanks to the help of the clan, barely survived.

So muddy and struggling, I don't want to be near the Huiji Temple Buddha light one day, this natural stupid one day recovered, and appeared different from everyone, respected by the neighbors, but for the neighboring village Wang surname is not allowed, so a dispute, do not want to Chunxian partial gang, resulting in its rebellion, get the demon law cholera place, bewitch the neighbors to follow, so that a good end of an auspicious rui, become a disaster.

But after all, his people have been praised by the Holy Son of Heaven, and there are gods and Buddhas to protect the community, although he has to raise troops, but he always thinks of the court, agarwood and worship the Buddha every day, and pray for appeasement......

This paragraph is Zhou Ting's Confucian view of the situation in Shanxi after Zhang Zongheng personally said that the situation in Shanxi was determined by convening his staff all night to discuss, and it is expected that once the situation in Shanxi collapses, it will inevitably affect the court, not to mention the involvement of the military department, that is, Zhou Tingru, the head of the cabinet as the head of the hundred officials, is bound to sit on wax, so if he wants to save his own family, he must save Zhang Zongheng.

After all, the current situation in Shanxi, only Zhang Zongheng, who has been in Shanxi for a long time, can resolve it, and it is better to operate this matter sooner rather than later, after all, the voice of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, is increasing day by day.

"The minister also has a script, and please ask Your Majesty to check it." Seeing that Chongzhen heard about this, he was not angry, this move made Zhou Tingru decisively grasp it, if the Son of Heaven was angry and called the official back, then he must have the right to treat this incident as if it never happened, and then remedy it afterwards, but Emperor Chongzhen did not say a word, but asked him to think about it, and decided to play the Son of Heaven first, so he rushed to the back to make a look, and his cronies in the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out to speak.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?! "Zhou Tingru's cronies handed over to Emperor Chongzhen's recital, during which a lot of figures were hidden, only talking about Li Jing's request for appeasement, after all, the taxes on the boundary of Shanxi have been exhausted, except for a little food and salary to be escorted into Beijing, the army has been seriously in arrears, and the army has no heart to fight.

Sure enough, hearing this, the minister suddenly said with a little expectation, "Back to Your Majesty, Xuanda line, guard against Mobei, and now Dongnu invaded the border in the west and colluded with the Xikou, at this time, the thieves and soldiers committed the border Daling River, and more Mongolian departments combined, at this time, the court used a lot of troops, involving money and food, if the Mongolian remnants in the west go to the border again, it is bound to be difficult to take care of, please think twice, please think twice." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't speak for the time being, but he pondered for a while and was silent, and Xiong Mingyu saw the atmosphere of today's court, and immediately became enlightened and hurried out...... (To be continued.) )
