However, Chen Qiyu's urgent report is a little different. In his recital, he did not say that he led an army of 100,000 to attack Yulin Town, but in the end he was chased by the Heavenly Army for dozens of miles, and fled back to Yan'an Mansion overnight to rest.

Chen Qiyu only explained to Emperor Chongzhen that he had successfully eliminated the more than 100,000 thieves gathered in Shaanxi Province through the hands of the Heavenly Army. Today's Shaanxi, for the time being, there is no banditry and chaos, public order is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

As for the Tianjun who occupied the important town of Yulin, they were not driven back to the grassland. A big reason is that when the governor of Yansui went to King Qin, the land of Gyeonggi, he was in too much hurry and did not arrange the defense, so that he was called to take advantage of the loophole, and almost all the Yulin defense measures were intact, which made him suffer a loss.

Chen Qiyu emphasized at the end of the recital that the Heavenly Army was a powerful army that could annihilate more than 5,000 Jianjun, but Shaanxi was transferred from all over the country, and the remaining border troops were really unable to complete the ability to drive out the Heavenly Army. This is a crime of war because the difference in strength is too great. If the court felt that what he said was untrue, he was willing to accept the guilt and wait for a more competent official to complete the task.

In the Wenhua Palace, after reading this letter, the monarch and the minister were relatively speechless. Overall, it seems that the situation in Shaanxi is not bad. In other words, except for the surroundings of Yulin, the situation has improved. If you can get rid of the Heavenly Army, it will be really good.

However, the combat power of the heavenly army is placed there, and the height of annihilating more than 5,000 captives is afraid that no one can reach it. Right now, in Funing, the elite and Jianjiao from all over the country have been mobilized to fight for life and death, and they are almost just a stalemate back and forth, and the dawn of victory is far from visible.

If the Heavenly Army occupies the important town of Yulin, there will be no other attempts, then forget it. For now, it's not a big deal.

It can be called the army of heaven after victory. If you attack the whole territory of Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu said that without elite soldiers in his hands, he can't beat the heavenly army, and whoever has the ability will go. As a result, it is likely that the situation in Shaanxi will become very serious. In particular, if the Heavenly Army reaches out to Shanxi, Sichuan, Henan and other neighboring provinces after capturing Shaanxi, this will be a battle for the world!

After a period of silence in the Wenhua Palace, the exhausted Emperor Chongzhen asked with a little annoyance: "Ministers, don't you have a way to share the worries of the monarch?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shoufu Zhou Yanru. Emperor Chongzhen faintly felt that he, the new first assistant, seemed to be good at poetry and songs, but he was often dumb when governing the country, and he was a little dissatisfied.

Zhou Yanru naturally felt the pressure from Emperor Chongzhen, and he was the head of the hundred officials. Others can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but not themselves.

Therefore, he came out and said: "The minister thinks that he can send someone to Funing to ask for the opinion of Sun Ge Lao, can he send the governor of Yansui to lead the troops back to quell the chaos?" ”

Generally speaking, Yulin is lost, and the governor of Yansui is the first person responsible. But Hong Chengchou came to King Qin. and became the backbone of King Qin's army. If he is held responsible, there will be something for the Jingshi in the future. The emperor has something to do, and which courtier dares to bring elite soldiers and good generals to the king and rescue him?

Besides, if Hong Chengchou could be pulled out, Shaanxi would be in chaos like that, and he would have been sent back a long time ago. During the rebellion in the Central Plains, an elite army had already been sent to suppress the bandits. If you don't do it, there will be no disaster of Fengyang.

Speaking of which, it's actually one. Jianyu occupied Shanhaiguan, and the troops were coming to the city of Beijing at any time, and the army of King Qin really could not be drawn.

Therefore, I heard Zhou Yanru say some nonsense. Emperor Chongzhen was very disappointed in his heart. Coupled with the digging of the ancestral grave, he made an unprecedented edict against himself, and he was in a very bad mood, so he couldn't help but threaten coldly: "What are you doing as a shoufu, if you can't do it, then someone else will do it!" ”

"Weichen deserves death, please calm your anger!" Zhou Yanru was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and bowed his head to plead guilty.

When other people saw this situation, although they didn't know what they thought in their hearts, on the surface, they all looked at their noses and noses, like old monks in their hearts, and they didn't look at Emperor Chongzhen for half of their eyes, for fear that Emperor Chongzhen would see it and come to ask once.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne, had been paying attention to the courtiers below, hoping that someone would stand up and share his worries at this time. However, seeing their performance as always, the disappointment and indignation in my heart couldn't help but overflow.

It is said that the country is difficult to produce loyal ministers, why didn't you find out that there was a loyal minister? These people standing at the bottom, one by one, are vegetarian, and they only know how to do what they do. Now that the country is in danger, can't we share our worries?

No one spoke again, and the Wenhua Hall was quiet again. The palace maids and eunuchs on one side didn't even dare to breathe, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.

After a stalemate for a while, Zhou Yanru, who had been lying there, suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is a matter related to the general Li Zicheng, and the minister needs to play it alone." ”

He was really in a hurry, and he had no choice but to make this decision. I've only been sitting in this position for a few days, and if I really go down like this, those people behind me will be busy in vain. How could they be willing to give so much and get nothing. In the officialdom, sometimes you can't help yourself!

When the civil officials standing on the side heard this, they couldn't help but look at him, and secretly wondered in their hearts: Right now, they are discussing the matter of calling the heavenly army, but Zhou Yanru, who bears the emperor's anger, is talking about other things, and he has to play it alone, what is it?

But it's good that since he said so, there is just a step to walk.

As a result, a number of civil officials have used this as an excuse to retire. Emperor Chongzhen is also helpless, he can't hold back a fart anyway if he keeps them, let's see what Zhou Yanru has to play alone, right!

Who knows, after all the ministers in the Wenhua Hall are gone, Zhou Yanru even wants the palace maids and eunuchs to avoid it, which is really a complete solo performance.

The more he was like this, the more curious Emperor Chongzhen became. I don't know what the Ming Shoufu wants to say about the thief Li Zicheng, and he chose to do so?

With this question, as soon as the palace maid and eunuch avoided it, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but immediately ask: "Zhou Qing, what is the matter?" ”

At this time, Zhou Yanru had returned to normal. However, he behaved very seriously, looked directly into Emperor Chongzhen's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, for the current situation, in fact, the imperial court has good strategies to solve, but these good strategies can be attacked by the imperial historians, or it will be difficult for future generations, so no one proposes it." The minister has a strategy to solve his worries! (To be continued.) )
