Zhou Yanru knelt in front of the angry Emperor Chongzhen, although he didn't say a word, but his heart was very open.

The Ming Dynasty is probably going to die......

Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, who were the most capable of fighting among the civil ministers, one took refuge in the Manchu Tatars, and the other took refuge in the "warlord" tension.

The Tuanshan Army of Tension is now a country within a country, needless to say. In addition to the tension of the Tuanshan Army, the Ming Dynasty is the most capable of fighting, and now there is only Wu Sangui, the governor of Zuodu and the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Previously, Wu Sangui had been "turtle" in Shanhaiguan, prevaricating with various reasons, and refused to accept the order of the imperial court to let him suppress the thief. Wu Zongbing opened his mouth to ask for 10 million taels of silver to be able to open the army, and this Nima is now the income of the Ming Dynasty in a year......

Later, Emperor Chongzhen really had no choice but to give Wu Gonggong, uh, no, Wu Zongbing made Zuo Du Governor - that is, the official position of the former ancestor Dashou, and awarded Shang Fang the sword and let him supervise all the troops in the seven northern provinces - Wu Du Du took 60,000 Liaodong troops into the pass to suppress thieves, and is now stationed in the Xuanfu Datong area.

The direction of Xuanda has always been the military town of the Ming Dynasty, there are no thieves there at all, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng are mainly tossed in Shaanxi and Henan. Wu Dudu did not go to Henan to suppress thieves, but urgently ran to Xuanfu Datong, and the reason is naturally obvious.

The Xuan army has been defeated repeatedly, but there are still tens of thousands of horses - there is a way that is a mosquito leg that is also meat, Wu Gonggong is not too much, he must be annexed first, expand his strength and then talk about others.

The officers and troops are still losing the battle, and the natural disasters in Henan continue day by day, and the death toll is only accumulating day by day. Emperor Chongzhen scolded until his strength was exhausted, and he automatically stopped his voice and attention. As the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru was relieved after kneeling down and scolding - go home, there are still many things to do at home! The most important thing is that Wanguan's family wealth must be transferred to Jiangnan immediately. Transfer to Nanjing! That's the point, right?

As for what the people rebelled against. What kind of natural disaster, after he knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it no longer existed.

Even on the third day, Zhou Yanru didn't even have to be scolded - after Emperor Chongzhen scolded for two days for state affairs, his physical strength was consumed, the original evidence of wind and cold was aggravated, his body temperature rose sharply, and he summoned the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him overnight. The emperor drank the medicine, sweating but had no effect at all...... At dawn. Emperor Chongzhen fell into a coma with a high fever and couldn't even go to the early court.

Zhou Yanru was suddenly relieved and understood that his opportunity had come!

Wen Tiren now claims that he is sick at home, and he closes his door, as if he has temporarily jumped out of the whirlpool of the highest power in the Ming Dynasty - anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wen Shoufu is "hiding from things", but this also brings the second assistant Zhou Yanru a great opportunity.

You're a turtle, aren't you? Then the major affairs of the court can be decided by me, Zhou Yanru! Emperor Chongzhen's punishment is nothing, it is a profitable business to be able to control the government.

At present, Emperor Chongzhen's illness is aggravated and he is unable to see things. Wen Tiren naturally can't be "cured" immediately - if Emperor Nima is fine, you call him sick, and if the emperor is seriously ill, you will be cured? Foolish!

Therefore, Zhou Yanru, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, can "once the power is in hand, he will carry out the order".

After Zhou Yanru came out of the palace. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, wishing that the emperor had been "seriously ill" that was a good thing. After all, this kind of thinking is too "rebellious", and Zhou Yanru soon didn't dare to think about it. Instead, he pulled his mind to other places.

In the end, it was cleaned for a few days!

Zhou Yanru is now a very popular minister, and the taste of "accompanying the king like a tiger" is more deeply experienced than in previous years. But they also know how to "take advantage of the moment" better. Emperor Chongzhen's illness will take more than ten days to see things, just for him to operate-Zhou Yanru thought of the humiliation of kneeling and being scolded in the past few days. The first one was because Wu Sangui's ineffective suppression of thieves immediately transferred this humiliation to him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Yanru sent a letter to Wu Sangui in the name of the cabinet, reprimanding him in very harsh words for his ineffective supervision of the war, which caused "the holy son of heaven Longyan to be furious", and asked Wu Dudu to put down the thieves as soon as possible and "repay the grace of heaven".

When the letter was delivered to Wu Sangui Wu Gonggong in Xuanfu, Wu Gonggong, uh, no, Wu Dudu was discussing with the generals in the military council hall of Baoan Prefecture.

The captain who delivered the letter presented it, and Wu Sangui frowned and only read half of it, then tore the letter in half—and felt so incomprehensible that he tore it to pieces again, and then threw it on the ground like garbage.

Wu Sangui was in a good mood during this time, and he had a good life - no, Wang Pu, the chief military officer of Shanxi, who was known as the "king of running", was chased by Gao Yingxiang and came with 30,000 horses not long ago; And Zuo Liangyu, the general soldier of Henan's anti-thief army, was also beaten by Li Zicheng all over the ground looking for teeth, and brought more than 10,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers to take refuge -

This Nima, Wu Dudu's ministers are like rain for a while, and the fierce generals are like clouds!

At this time, the inconspicuous imperial court came to such an untimely letter, which simply did not give face to Gonggong Wu! Can this Nima endure?

Wu Sangui and Wu Du endured it, and did not mention the matter of the court letter at all. He turned his head to look at his newly accepted little brothers, Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu, smiled slightly, and said, "The two generals don't need to worry too much!" Previously, the governor of Pontus asked the court to allocate food and wages, and this letter was the echo of the court - the court has no money! ”

Anyway, Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu didn't know what was written on the letter, and it was impossible for them to pick up the letter and read it, so Wu Sangui could talk nonsense casually.

Originally, when Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu heard the word "salary", their eyes were bright, but when they heard Wu Sangui's words later, they couldn't help but look gloomy.

Wu Sangui took in the looks of the two of them, and his heart was like a mirror: these two people are greedy for money and good goods, and the soldiers under their command are also generally virtuous, and they are not good at fighting, but they are quite good at harming the people.

However, Wu Sangui didn't care at all, his subordinates had shortcomings, so it was convenient for him to control them! If all of them are like the tension of the Tuanshan Army, then it is chilling!

If you want money, follow your father-in-law - uh, no, follow the governor of Pontus, there is a way to make money.

Wu Sangui thought a little far for a while: the Jurchens of the Manchu Qing Dynasty always used the Han army flag in front as cannon fodder when they fought, and they hid behind to pick up cheap, and they tried and tested repeatedly for more than ten years. Not to mention, this is also a clever trick! In the future, I, Guan Ning Tieqi, will also learn from the Jurchens, preserve my strength, and find someone else to do the things of sending me to death.

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui smiled even more, and looked at Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu directly, and made the two of them furious. Wu Sangui's thoughts, the two of them naturally didn't know about the drop...... (To be continued.) )
