"Zhili Patrol directly played the crime of Song Wei and Wu Xiang according to the royal road. Wu Xiang collapsed in the beginning of the chaos of the horsemen, and Song Wei collapsed in the burning of the medicine cannon. The law is intended to be re-established by the crime of collapse, what is the word? In the two battles of Naisongjin, Song Wei's generals Jin Guochen and Zhang Jifu were encouraged by them to perform miraculous feats, and Wei seemed to be able to invite a first-line life. Wu Xiang gave instructions in the battle of Song and Jin, and made the most meritorious contributions, and was wounded in the battle against Changshan Formation. The so-called pre-labor is difficult to work in the past, and the after-effect can be expected. ”

Late at night in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen has not flipped the card to kill, he does not have that mood for the time being, he holds the second letter of the Zhili Patrol according to Wang Daozhi's recent recital, the first letter he asked for severe punishment of Wu Xiang Song Wei, but now he said that the two are excusable, the reason is even more ridiculous, Chongzhen's face is red and white, he knows what the situation is, but these imperial histories are inevitably too conspicuous

Wang Chengen lit sandalwood on the side, retreated a few palace maids, and whispered to the emperor: "Long live, Qiu Hejia handed over an urgent letter, did not follow the usual path, it was directly handed to Zhou Ge's hometown, Mr. Zhou did not dare to do it properly, and quietly gave it to the slave maid, please ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Chongzhen knew that there was no good thing, Qiu Hejia used to be a soldier in Shanyong, and he made meritorious contributions in the battle of the Four Cities, and was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and he vigorously advocated the construction of the Daling River, and said a lot of reasons, Chongzhen now understands that Zu Dashou must have promised him a lot of benefits. As a result, the Daling River was in a mess, and he didn't even dare to go out of the city in the Battle of Changshan, so he threw Zhang Chūn out, Zhang Chūn was a Yongping soldier, where could he control the long-distance runners in Liaozhen. Fortunately, he dared to attack Jiannu at night in the end, and finally rescued Zu Dashou

"Bring it."

Wang Chengen handed it over carefully. Chongzhen took the letter paper in his hand, and his face flickered brightly. It seems that there is a breath in the chest that cannot be breathed. Wang Chengen didn't dare to look directly, and covered up his uneasiness while packing up refreshments.

Chongzhen closed his eyes after reading it. didn't speak for half a sound, Wang Chengen finished putting away all the teacups and waited quietly aside. Chongzhen finally said weakly: "Chengen, have you read the letter?" ”

Wang Chengen was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down: "The slave and maid don't dare, Mr. Zhou repeatedly told the slave and maid not to dismantle it." ”

"Take it and see it."

Chongzhen stretched out his hand and handed it to Wang Chengen, the little eunuch didn't dare to disobey, so he had to take it in fear, watching his mouth open wider and wider. Qiu Hejia wrote in detail about Zu Dashou's escape, it turned out that he killed He Kegang in the Daling River, and then escaped by deception after surrendering to the slave chieftain. Qiu Hejia vomited bitterness at the end, only saying that Liaozhen is intertwined, everyone is only looking forward to the ancestor Dashou, and the last time he reported the Zu Dashou breakthrough, it was also forced to be helpless, not to deceive.

"Your Majesty, this ......"

Chongzhen closed his eyes. With a long sigh, he no longer had the strength to be angry, and the four million military salaries a year were invested in Liaozhen, in exchange for repeated defeats and deception.

Chongzhen was silent for a long time. Only then did he open his mouth to Wang Chengen and asked, "Wang Chengen, what do you think should be done?" ”

Wang Chengen has a flexible mind and is now taken by the emperor every day. I also have some understanding of the mind of this long live, and he has always been in a hurry to get things done. The tolerance for most officials is not high, but for some people who are to his heart. The tolerance is surprisingly high, this Qiu Hejia obviously does not belong to the person he wants, so he boldly said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid feel that Qiu Hejia is at both ends of the mouse, making up lies and wantonly deceiving, and in the blink of an eye, he secretly surrenders to the letter, and his behavior is like a ghost walking at night, which is tolerable or unbearable." ”

Chongzhen said weakly: "What you said is right, but what can you do, could it be that I put him in prison?" ”

Wang Chengen listened to Chongzhen's tone, and didn't seem to intend to arrest Qiu Hejia, he still said tentatively: "The slave is willing to take Ti to Liaozhen." ”

Chongzhen sat up suddenly, slapped his palm on the table, the pen holder and dishes on the table were shocked and jumped, Wang Chengen quickly buried his head down, and said in fear: "The slave is speechless......

Chongzhen's voice trembled with excitement, and he roared at Wang Chengen: "In what name did I arrest him? Could it be that he lied about Zu Dashou, what is Zu Dashou, as soon as this matter is turned over, Yushi will never rest, you arrested Qiu Hejia, but Zu Dashou is still at ease in Jinzhou, how to seal the mouth of the world's people!! You said! ”

Wang Chengen Khan was like rain, and stammered: "Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou him, slave maid ......"

Chongzhen's anger in his heart made him confused, grabbed the inkstone, and was about to smash it at Wang Chengen, several palace maids in the distance screamed in fright, Chongzhen seemed to be awakened by this sound, held the inkstone for a while, and sat down again.

His pale face was flushed, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, in his heart, Liao Zhen was no longer his courtier, but a third party to the transaction, and the bargaining chips of the transaction were Liao Zhen and Ben Sè. Zu Dashou insisted on holding on to the Daling River for half a year, and he did his best, although his method of getting out of trouble was a helpless move, but the imperial history in the court would never let this go, and he still had the behavior of killing He Kegang, which was even more unforgivable. The subsequent deception and false reports show that the civil officials in Liaodong are compromising with Jiangmen, and the authority of the imperial court has long been lost on the territory of Liaozhen.

Chongzhen sighed lowly, "What can I do, if Zu Dashou stays in Jinzhou and does not move, what if Qiu Hejia is arrested?" Do you think that I don't understand Qiu Hejia's thoughts, on the one hand, he will not offend Liaozhen, and on the other hand, he is afraid that this matter will be leaked, so he took the initiative to report to me secretly, thinking that both ends are good. There are now many people in the ancestral family on Jiannu's side, and Ningyuan Jinzhou is Zu Dashou's hometown, once he is persecuted, he may join the slaves. As long as Zu Dashou can't be moved, then Qiu Hejia, Wu Xiang, and Song Wei can only be dealt with lightly. ”

Wang Chengen cried in a low voice, first, he was afraid, and secondly, because this son of heaven who has a wide range of people in the world is not worthy, who would have known that the dignified emperor could be coerced like this by a group of military leaders.

Chongzhen looked down at Wang Chengen and said softly: "Wang Chengen, get up, you are still young and don't understand these things." ”

Wang Chengen wiped his tears, and he said to the emperor carefully: "In the future, the slaves and maids will no longer talk nonsense, so as not to disturb the emperor's holy judgment." ”

Chongzhen shook his head and held back the raging anger in his heart, "Qiu Hejia's heart can be punished." can no longer stay in Liaozhen, with Daling and Changshan defeated. Demoted two levels and transferred to Governor of Yamanaga,. Song Wei and Wu Xiang garrisoned the army. Zu Dashou got rid of the young master, but he was still in charge of the original affairs, and he surrendered to Jiannu and escaped...... Don't leak it out, and care for him. ”

Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen was unwilling to let go of this group of people, all of them were forced to be helpless, and Zu Dashou stayed alone in Jinzhou, so he kept the safety of this vote, since Wu Xiang and Song Wei, the two leading brothers, were fine, then other people who fled back, such as Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Zuo Liangyu, Yang Yufan and others, could not be dealt with again. The defeat of Changshan lost 40,000 divisions, and in the end it was unknown, and it was hateful.

"The emperor is angry, although the ancestor is cunning, but now that the emperor has Wendeng camp, they have arrived in southern Liaoning, and the imperial court does not only rely on Liaozhen to deal with Jiannu."

Chongzhen finally showed a hint of relief, Chen Xin never caused him trouble, and he could bring him hope whenever he was desperate. It is no longer "agreeable" to describe it, the only thing that makes him a little worried is that this person has almost no flaws.

He changed his smile and said to Wang Chengen: "The world is eventful, if there are a few more loyal people like General Chen." Why is Jiannu rampant to this day. ”

Wang Chengen had a very good relationship with Wendeng, and it turned out that when he was still by Cao Huachun's side, Chen Xin was very polite to him. also gave a thousand taels at a time, which was the first amount of silver that the young Wang Chengen had ever received. He hurriedly said: "If you count it, Dengzhou will be more than 900,000 a year. The Wendeng camp did not get about 100,000 among them, and Lord Chen trained those military households into a strong army, and Liaozhen made three or four million taels a year, but they all made wedding dresses for Jiannu, which is really a pity. ”

Chongzhen smiled and said: "After Ji Si, I told Sun Yuanhua to ensure that the Wendeng camp was fully paid and fully fed, but I didn't think that he still discounted it, but fortunately, now this Wang Tingtu is quite knowledgeable, he and General Chen complement each other, and will be able to contain Jiannu in southern Liaoning." Chongzhen said and said that he was in a better mood, "I will not treat them poorly, and the salary after rì will always be more than before." ”

"The emperor clearly sees thousands of miles, and the silver is given to Denglai, which is really more cost-effective than giving it to Liaozhen."

Wang Chengen saw that Chongzhen's mood was improving, and he said a few words with Chongzhen with a smile, and asked the palace maid to clean up the dishes on the table.

Chongzhen said to himself: "Chen Xin, it's good to ask for something." ”……

"Chen Xin, why do you need to be so polite, you and the old man are good friends, you are a confidant, don't fall into the clichés of hundreds of officials."

In the palatial Wen Mansion study, Chen Xin and Song Wenxian had just stood up from the ground, Wen Tiren casually flipped through the gift list handed by the housekeeper, and the things in it were quite valuable, most of them were precious jewelry, ginseng, fur, coral, etc., and the number was quite a lot, and it was worth at least tens of thousands of taels in Beijing. Although it was a heavy gift, Wen Tiren didn't care, he was no longer the lecturer he was four years ago. Now that Zhou Yanru has shown a decline, those who want to give him a gift for Wen Tiren have lined up in a long line, and it is thank God for sending it away.

Chen Xin's biggest role for him now is to attract foreign aid and strive for military merits to stabilize his position. And Chen Xin's appearance has always been very satisfactory to him, there is no behavior at both ends of the first rat, he has always stood firmly on his side, and the things he has explained have been done well.

Chen Xin wore a green scarf, wrapped his head in a net scarf, and wore a square scarf, which looked polite and polite, far from the image of the martial artist in the Pingrì military camp. He respectfully said to Wen Tiren: "The villain is a rough man, those crepe words can't be said, the adult has the grace of knowing the villain, and has always taken care of it, and always thinks that he can repay the adult, and it is easy to go to Beijing, so he selects all the good things that can be collected, it is indeed a little cliché, but the villain's mind is simple." ”

Wen Tiren touched his dry beard and smiled, he is an old fox, Chen Xin does not take the opportunity to make war money in Denglai, he does not believe it, just look at Chen Xin's filial piety every year, he knows that Wendeng has other ways to make money, Wen Tiren's family is familiar with the Four Seas Trading Company, he probably knows that Chen Xin is making money with copper coins and cigarettes.

"In the future, Chen Xin, you can lead the troops well, these ordinary affairs, you don't have to put too much thought into them." Wen Tiren completely regarded the two as confidants, and did not go around in circles, and said directly: "Chen Xin, you have to make good use of the place in southern Liaoning, and share the emperor's worries well, my emperor was able to get rid of Wei Wei when he was young, but now he has been repeatedly controlled by Jiannu and Liaozhen, others don't know, the old man can really see that the emperor has really lost weight in the past two years." ”

Chen Xin agreed: "The words of the adult, the villain has remembered it, but the adult's business is not an ordinary mundane business, the villain will prepare it himself, and he will feel comfortable in his heart." ”

Although he knew that it was a lie, Wen Tiren also listened very comfortably, and he smiled at Chen Xin and said: "The list of meritorious service reported by the royal court last time, this official asked all the way, and it was all in the hands of the emperor, so it should be accurate." If there is no accident in the military salary later, it will exceed last year, and the old man intends to help you fight for 1.5 million, provided that Wang Tingxuan must guarantee to give you more than 60% of the department, if he does not give enough, you will come to sue the old man. ”

Chen Xin's heart jumped, he was about to become a big household, this time he was digging meat from Guan Ningjun, I don't know if Guan Ningjun is willing to buy a horse for himself. Looking at Wen Tiren's demeanor now, he is more confident than before, and he feels that it is effortless to clean up the governor, and it is estimated that Zhou Yanru is getting weaker and weaker.

"The villain understands, thank you for your care."

"But the six parts should be dotted, you have to let the Dao Stone dot as usual, these are indispensable, and you should know how much you get in the end."

Dao Shi is Song Wenxian's word, he walks around in Jingshi a lot, and sees Wen Tiren much more times than Chen Xin, but now he is also very cautious in front of Wen Tiren's style, and replied seriously: "The affairs of Jingshi are clear to the villain, Lord Xie reminds." ”

Chen Xin knew that the Liao's salary had actually decreased by a few percent before it left Beijing, mainly in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry. If you want to share this military salary, this unspoken rule must be observed, otherwise you will be an enemy of all the Beijing officials, and Ren Wen Tiren's three heads and six arms will not help him.

Wen Tiren was very interested in talking, but he didn't talk too much about the affairs of the imperial court, so he talked to Chen Xin like a friend, mostly talking about interesting things in Beijing, and more like he wanted to establish a closer personal friendship with Chen Xin.

The three of them talked for nearly an hour, Wen Tiren saw that it was not too early, and finally said to Chen Xin: "Now in the court, what the old man said is more effective than before, if Wang Tingtry and others have any constraints, let Dao Shi come to inform." Also, the last time you were impeached for land......"

"This matter is ......" Chen Xin hurriedly wanted to explain, Wen Tiren waved his hand lightly and smiled, "It's a good thing that someone is impeached, at least everyone knows what's going on there, I know that you have your own way of doing business, and there are not many disputes with the locality, but if it has been quiet, someone wants to guess some other things, and what is the matter, so I didn't have any trouble with those books, the emperor should have read it." ”

Chen Xin looked at Wen Tiren's appearance, and his status was really high, no matter how fierce the local competition was, it was just a trivial matter for him. Wen Tiren's grasp of the emperor must be higher than his own, and Chen Xin felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Wen Tiren continued: "Chen Xin, you have also been an official for many years, some of them don't need to be taught by the official, there are many local things and you have to rely on the gentry, you can't be too persecutive to these people, but you can't be too tolerant, otherwise he can kick his nose in the face." ”

Chen Xin agreed, but Wen Tiren did not know that Chen Xin had his own training system, as long as a strong enough grassroots organization was established in the local area, then the gentry's right to speak would naturally be deprived.

The gentry of Dengzhou Laizhou thought that they could stump Chen Xin, a military attaché, with some imperial history, but with Wen Tiren's care, their actions were really insignificant, and they became a small tool used by Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren spoke for a long time, felt a little tired, and gently took the teacup, Chen Xin and the two stood up and said, "The villain doesn't disturb the adults' rest, so I will leave." ”

Wen Tiren actually sent them out of the study in person, and asked the Guan family to send them back to Qipan Street in a sedan chair from the Wen Mansion, so as to avoid difficulties for the night guards and the soldiers and horses.

When he was leaving, Wen Tiren suddenly remembered something, and asked Chen Xin: "I heard from the Ministry of War that Wang Tingtry wants to transfer an officer of the Shandong Guard Station to his standard camp as a general, is it familiar with you?" ”

Chen Xinleng shook his head, he really didn't know anyone over there in Shandong, "Do you know what his name is?" ”

Wen Tiren recalled, "The official thought it was your person, so he specifically asked if you needed to ask about this matter, and the name seemed to be Liu Zeqing." ”
