Chapter 279 Merit is not rewarded

Jiangnan Shilin, who has always been united, was obviously divided into three factions in this war of words. Pros and cons, look at the lively side. Among them, the group that watched the excitement was the largest, and there were slightly more people who sided with Ming Pao, and those who attacked Ming Pao belonged to the minority.

A newspaper stirred up the Jiangnan literary world, which was something that no one expected. The tide in Jiangnan has not subsided, and the Jingshi is making a fuss again. Some imperial historians began to play a series of twists and turns, pointing out that Chen Xie was the boss of Ming Pao, a military general running a newspaper, and what his intentions were. The implication is that you want to rebel in the traditional territory of the literati, with heavy troops in your hands and public opinion?

These words appear in the form of a recital, which is the words of the heart. It's about putting people to death!

Who are the people behind these officials, the civil officials in the court know it, and Chongzhen also understands it in his heart. Catching up with Houjin to fight Lushun, Chen Xie led the army to the battle, and the twists and turns were suppressed by Chongzhen.

But these civil officials are tirelessly continuing to play and fold, just when Chongzhen was overwhelmed, in the early dynasty of this day, there was Yushi Shui Jiayun who came out to impeach Chen Xie: "Crowd out colleagues, dominate Denglai, Dongjiang, and the traces of this feudal town." ”

Who is Shui Jiayun? Everyone understands. At this time, everyone can see clearly the people behind it.

Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, felt disgusted with Zhou Yanru for the first time in this time and space. I felt an extreme for the evil of the Donglin party. Even at this time, Chongzhen had no intention of changing his head and assistant. The trust in Zhou Yanru has not yet reached the time of collapse. But to Shui Jiayun. Chongzhen didn't have a good face, and asked with a dark face: "The Ministry of Construction went south to Lushun, and I have seen the excerpt on Sun Yuanhua." It is clear that Huanglong asked for help, and Chen Sihua sent troops to help, why did you come here to dominate the second town? When something happened in this country, he didn't think about how to retreat from the enemy, didn't think about how to raise food and salary for the soldiers in front, and was busy impeaching the generals who were fighting. Let me ask, Shui Jiayun, what are your intentions? ”

This is a very vicious statement. Shui Jiayun is this kind of person. I usually rely on the wind to eat. The Ming Dynasty officials all went this way. Even if the emperor doesn't listen, he won't treat them well. The atmosphere is a little wrong today.

Zhou Yanru was about to come out to help round the talk, but Chongzhen had already spoken first: "Can't you answer?" Then I will answer for you. As he spoke, he raised a report in his hand: "This report." From the first issue to the present. I've read every issue. The so-called national events, but they copy the newspaper and say that they leak national events. Disturb the people's minds. I thought it was ridiculous. Let me ask you, which of the local officials at all levels in the DPRK and the Central Committee did not tell the story of the newspaper? In my opinion, everyone knows where all these news from Ming Pao came from. In addition to reprinting the news in the newspaper, what is the rest? Ladies and gentlemen, who can tell me that there is any place for deceiving the public in these contents? Shui Jiayun, tell me about it. ”

Shui Jiayun's face was red and white for a while, and at this time, Zhou Yanru closed his eyes, and said in his heart that he was in trouble. It is obvious that Zhou Yanru could not be at the mercy of the Restoration Society. The problem is that Chen Xie does not accept his "solicitation", which angers him. has been looking for an opportunity to bring down Chen Xie. Catching up with Jiangnan Shilin and taking the lead in making trouble, he just pushed it with his hand, and didn't even say anything, it was a default attitude. Those officials who have a lot to do with Donglin jumped out to bite Chen Xie.

It's that simple, but this time it seems like something is going to go wrong. At this time, Chongzhen would not be able to say anything about the official, so he glanced at Shui Jiayun disdainfully and said: "Even if you hear about it in the future, you can't bite indiscriminately without any basis." ”

After returning to the harem after the dispersal of the dynasty, Queen Zhou led the crowd to greet her, and Chongzhen did not go to the recently favored Tian Guifei, but went to the queen. When no one was around, he said to Queen Zhou: "These officials are becoming more and more unbearable." Chen Sihua fought fiercely in Lushun, and they pulled their hind legs behind. If this matter is transmitted to Lushun, how can Chen Sihua defend against the enemy with peace of mind? At the beginning, they kept Dongjiang Town, which was also what they meant, saying that the way of the emperor was checking and balancing. As a result, before the Jin army arrived, Huanglong asked Sun Yuanhua for help. Do you really think that I don't know how Sun Yuanhua begged Chen Sihua to send troops? ”

"The emperor is angry, and the officials are heard, this is the ancestral system. Listen to it, it's not a bad thing. The concubines don't know any national affairs, and they don't know what checks and balances they have. knows that Chen Sihua is a loyal minister, and the emperor will not treat loyal ministers badly. ”

Chongzhen likes to listen to this, and his unhappy mood is balanced. said to Empress Zhou: "The Dongjiang River hangs overseas, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have proposed to abolish it many times, and I don't know whether it should be or not. However, this Huanglong, as the chief soldier of a town, has not yet arrived in Jiannu, so he went to ask for help first, which is really useless. Empress Zhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when it comes to fighting, you still have to listen to the generals." Other generals are unbearable, Chen Sihua is both civil and military and loyal, and it is right to listen to his opinion. ”

Chongzhen frowned when he heard this, and said, "What the queen said makes sense, why am I confused?" Cao Huachun, who was even rolling and climbing, appeared in time again. Still at the gate of the courtyard, he shouted wherever he was: "Long live the lord, long live the lord, great joy!" Great joy! ”

Wang Chengen, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, did not give him a chance to wrestle this time, and reached out to help him in time: "Gonggong Cao, what's the good thing?" It's not too young, so be careful when walking. ”

Cao Huachun was dissatisfied with being interrupted from the performance, but in terms of trust, he couldn't compare with Wang Chengen. I had to tell him obediently: "The Dongchang spies came to report that Chen Sihua broke the Jiannu in Lushun, beheaded the enemy chieftain Yuetuo and Dege, and beheaded 20,000. ”

Hearing this news in his ears, Wang Chengen felt like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a hot day, and when he was on a hot day, he shook his body and almost didn't stand firm. Queen Zhou, who was in the room, heard the movement and said to Chongzhen: "It seems that Gonggong Cao is talking, what a great joy, what a battle to kill the enemy chieftain." ”

As soon as Chongzhen heard this, he felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he was violently shocked. His ears have been working hard lately, and he can't hear a little lately. After getting an affirmative look from Queen Zhou, she immediately rushed out. Seeing Wang Chengen leading Cao Huachun in, he was a little convinced. But it still needs to be finalized, this news is too shocking to believe it.

Cao Huachun's news came quickly, not how capable his East Factory was, it was the news that Chen Xie gave in advance. No, the news sent by Motai today, he was stunned when he heard it. Such a big piece of good news, he was the first to sue the emperor, this is definitely a good opportunity to fix his favor.

Seeing Chongzhen, Cao Huachun kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Long live the lord, a great victory, a great victory." "Let's go, let's go, after saying this, Chongzhen's surprised face showed a full smile, and his body trembled. Finally, Cao Huachun finished speaking, and then asked: "Is the news accurate?" Where do you know? Cao Huachun took out the prepared rhetoric and said: "Long live Lord, this is not the time when Chen Sihua destroyed Kong Youde, some of the courtiers said that they would abolish Dongjiang Town, and some said that they would keep it and contain Dengzhou Town." The slave maid thought in her heart, and sent some people to the Dengzhou camp, so that she could report it in time. This news was sent by a spy from Dengzhou an hour ago. ”

Speaking of a word, Chongzhen showed a hint of disgust and said, "These Wenchen, don't say it." I feel that the news from Dengzhou is also coming soon, Cao Huachun, you go outside and explain it, and the news will be sent in immediately. ”

After sending Cao Huachun away, Chongzhen clenched his fists excitedly, closed his eyes and looked up, and said to himself: "On one side is the tide of bullets, and on the other side is the bloody field." Chen Sihua really lived up to me. ”

Wang Chengen mended the knife in time: "Long live the lord, the slave will be worried, if you really behead 20,000, how should you reward it." ”

Chongzhen laughed when he heard this, pacing back and forth: "Yes, yes, how should I reward it?" He doesn't lack silver, why don't you give him some things collected in the palace? ”

Empress Zhou said: "If you mention the knighthood again, I'm afraid that the ministers will make trouble." Speaking of this, Chongzhen was also worried. Chongzhen is also very stingy with this title. The defensive heart of the generals, Chongzhen is no worse than Wenchen. The last time I said knighthood, that was what Queen Zhou meant. After Chongzhen brought it up, he also regretted it a little in his heart, feeling that he was rash. Historically, Li Zicheng was about to fight in Beijing, and Chongzhen was willing to give Wu Sangui a knighthood.

Don't look at Chen Xie's status in Chongzhen's heart now, in fact, he can't compare to those Wenchen. It's not that it does to Wenchen, but no matter how bastard Wenchen is, he doesn't have the ability to pose a threat to the imperial power. Chen Xie is different, he has soldiers in his hands, and he is not short of silver. If he hadn't always been very loyal, Chongzhen would have doubted him a long time ago. Otherwise, Cao Huachun said just now that he would send someone to keep an eye on Dengzhou, and Chongzhen didn't feel that it was wrong at all? In his bones, the emperor's defense of the generals is the most important.

When Wang Chengen heard this, he secretly felt bitter in his heart, originally he was going to those who impeached Chen Xie. I didn't expect it to be crooked. It's not a good thing to say that you don't want to be rewarded. It's not a family, it's not a door. It's about the couple. Wang Chengen is absolutely loyal to Chongzhen, and he will not have other thoughts. It's just a simple complaint.

At this time, a little girl peeked at this scene behind a pillar, Chongzhen happened to see it, beckoned her to come over, and said, "It's a pity, I'm young." When Queen Zhou heard this, she took it to heart, and said to the little girl: "Why did you run out to play again?" ”

"My daughter misses her father." Little Lori's voice is soft, a beautiful billet. I can't bear to blame her.

Chongzhen was in a rare good mood, squatted down and touched his daughter's head, but did not speak. Stood up and said to the queen, "Don't reproach her. Saying that, Queen Zhou hurriedly sent him off, looked back at her daughter and sighed: "It's a little smaller." ”

The little girl didn't know why, but it was rare to meet her father, and she was touched affectionately, and she was laughing happily.

Chen Xie's side, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Yao also rushed to Lushun, and when the soldiers of this Duoduo arrived in Jin County, they stopped moving. Chen Xie was very depressed, and he planned to play a barbed wire tactic seriously. People don't give face.

Zhang Yao saw Chen Xie and found an opportunity to say to him in private: "Sihua, you don't know if you are rewarded for your merits?" (To be continued......)
