Chapter 308: Suppressing the dilemma

Zhang Chu stayed for Tang Ruowang, Tang Ruowang ran up and down in order to go to the prison to visit Sun Yuanhua, if the matter was revealed, he would definitely be implicated, so he couldn't be left here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning, Zhang Chu sent someone to inform Tang Ruowang that Sun Yuanhua's son had arrived, and he would not need to go to see Sun Yuanhua today. It didn't take long for the man to return, but he looked a little flustered.

"Oh no, Sun Yuanhua's son smuggled Sun Yuanhua out of the charcoal cart when he entered the prison to visit." What the person said startled John Tang.

"How's that okay?" John Tang suddenly had no idea, and letting go of the criminals appointed by the emperor was a crime of beheading, and John Tang understood what the consequences of annoying the emperor were after so many years in China.

"Sir, don't panic, now the people in the prison haven't found out that Mr. Sun has escaped, my son-in-law specially sent us over, pick up Mr. to meet him, and find a way to escape from the city together."

There is no way, let's escape for our lives first. John Tang wanted to escape immediately, but it was not so easy. He has been in Beijing for a while, and he has taken root, and he has purchased a lot of various items, and it is difficult for him to give up if he wants to throw them all away at once. In particular, some books and instruments for scientific experiments, which he brought from his own country thousands of miles away, are all tools for him to spread his faith, and they cannot be thrown away under any circumstances.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu thought very thoughtfully, and sent two carriages, Tang Ruowang was busy for a while and delayed for some time, but he also loaded the important things into the car. Tang Ruowang took one last look at Qin Tianjian, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, he wandered all over the world, and suffered a lot in order to spread his faith, and finally gained a foothold in China, a rich, civilized, and populous eastern country, and now all this is about to be lost again, and he really doesn't know where he can go next. But now he has indeed bribed many officials in Jinyiwei to manage the prison, and it is certain that he was arrested for the incident, and as a foreigner, it is absolutely easy to recognize, this Jingshi can't stay anymore.

Tang Ruowang boarded the carriage and escaped from Qin Tianjian, and on the way they saw Zhang Chu waiting there, Zhang Chu didn't say much, and escorted Tang Ruowang out of the city gate all the way.

"Where is the gentleman going from here?" Zhang Chu knew that Tang Ruowang had no way out, and asked deliberately.

"The world is big, but there is no place for me to stay." John Tang felt a little desperate, he really couldn't survive if he offended the emperor in China.

"Otherwise, you will take refuge with me for a while, I still have a small fortune in Shanxi, and I can get shelter from all sides, and there will be no danger there." Zhang Chu is also a good person to the end, planning a way out for Tang Ruowang.

"Then you'll have to work for you." Tang Ruowang felt a little more relaxed at this time.

"Do you still have some friends of the same faith in the capital, don't affect them because of this matter, do you want to write to them, if they want, they can also go to Shanxi and me, and they will leave after avoiding the limelight." Zhang Chu remembered that John Tang was not alone in Beijing, and he was also concerned about their safety.

"Okay, I'll write a letter." John Tang immediately wrote a letter to his companion in Beijing and handed it over to Zhang Chu's people to deliver. He knows that according to Chinese law, it doesn't matter if you participate in it or not.

Zhang Chu arranged for someone to take Tang Ruowang to rush to Shanxi, he himself returned to the city of Beijing, he couldn't leave now, he wanted to see if he could get some more benefits from Guo Zhiyi's hands.

Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City has been in a very bad mood these days, and the cold weather can't suppress the anger in his heart. The little eunuchs around had already seen that Emperor Chongzhen's face was wrong, and they found an opportunity to withdraw from the hall.

Cao Huachun, as the emperor's trusted eunuch, wanted to share the emperor's worries and sorrows, of course, he couldn't hide in case of trouble, so he had to stand quietly and wait for the opportunity to persuade him.

"This group of selfish ministers don't want to share the country's worries when the country is in crisis, but they still want to fight for power and party struggle." Emperor Chongzhen finally couldn't help but say the words of complaint in his heart.

Cao Huachun, who was standing there, did not dare to answer this question, and the emperor opened his mouth to characterize their struggle as a party struggle, which is a very serious problem, and if you don't pay attention to standing on the wrong team, you will lose your head.

"Kong Youde's rebels captured Dengzhou and then attacked Laizhou with all their might, thanks to the desperate resistance of the defenders to ensure that the city was not lost, but these courtiers did not think about whether to appease or exterminate the rebels. There are also different opinions on the handling of Sun Yuanhua, the criminal who caused this rebellion. The cabinet minister Wen Tiren revealed that Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty, had accepted bribes from Sun Yuanhua and tried his best to exonerate Sun Yuanhua. If this matter is true, not only is Sun Yuanhua's crime unforgivable, but even Zhou Yanru has betrayed my trust in him. "Emperor Chongzhen is an indecisive person, and he is neither willing to give up power nor responsible. His unclear attitude made the ministers of the court constantly speculate about the emperor's intentions on important matters, and they did not dare to have a clear proposal.

"It is better to send troops to encircle and suppress Kong Youde's rebels, and in the case of a large army pressing the border, the rebels are also easy to accept appeasement." Cao Huachun knew that the emperor had his own thoughts, but he didn't want to say it from his mouth, so that if it was wrong, the emperor would have no one to shirk the responsibility. Now this pot can only be carried by Cao Huachun, so Cao Huachun can only speak.

"Kong Youde's rebel army is Sun Yuanhua took my silver and said that he wanted to train a new army, carefully trained, they are equipped with a large number of firearms, combat effectiveness is very strong, after the rebellion, several cities in a row, the officers and soldiers are not their opponents at all, now the officers and soldiers of the guards in various places are in disuse, there is no combat effectiveness, and they can only be expected to send people to the war." Emperor Chongzhen has been on the throne for four years, and he also has some understanding of the situation of the whole country, especially the situation of the national army, because the army wants to suppress the thieves inside and resist the Tartars outside.

"Now there is an army that is enough to contend with the rebels, and as soon as the Holy Decree they will immediately go out to quell the rebellion." Cao Huachun saw this opportunity to express himself, how could he let it go.

"Which army is it, and under which lordship?" Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked.

"I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness when I mention this army." Cao Huachun thought that it would be better to lay the groundwork for this matter first, and not to set himself on fire at that time.

"What have they done that they need my forgiveness?" Emperor Chongzhen became vigilant.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that Yang He once appeased a team of thieves who had defeated the Houjin army when they were sent to King Qin in Beijing, but unfortunately they returned to Shanxi and rebelled again due to a disagreement with the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou. Now they have expressed their desire to submit to the imperial court. Cao Huachun had already mentioned this matter, although he could only finish the matter after seeing that the emperor's face was wrong.

"You want me to do that trick again!" Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes and asked angrily. (To be continued.) )
