After such a long time, as the heads of the Investigation Bureau, Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen have completely grasped the focus of the investigation agency's work, and they no longer need Zheng Xunrui to make special emphasis to know where to focus on gathering intelligence.

The situation between Henan and Huguang is in a confrontation, after Xiong Wencan took office as the governor of the five provinces again, he did not rush to attack and recover the Kaifeng Fucheng, but continued to be stationed in Linying, after Li Zicheng occupied the Kaifeng Fucheng, he did not evacuate immediately, Zhang Xianzhong left Yunyang and arrived in Xuzhou, it is estimated that he knew that Li Zicheng had captured the Kaifeng Fucheng, so after taking Xuzhou, he did not continue to move in the direction of the Kaifeng Fucheng.

In all fairness, Xiong Wencan is required to lead the army to deal with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong at the same time, such a possibility is basically non-existent, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who are stationed in Kaifeng and Xuzhou respectively, do not have any connection on the surface, in fact, they are completely able to help each other, Xuzhou is not very far from Kaifeng Fucheng, Xiong Wencan attacks any place, must take into account the other way of the Liukou.

Time passed slowly like this, and the emperor and the court didn't seem to be particularly anxious, so that this confrontation situation continued to maintain, as if there was a way to completely eradicate the rogue.

Such a situation is very strange, it is said that the Kaifeng Mansion is occupied by the Liukou, the imperial court will have long been noisy into a pot of porridge, and the voice of the Kaifeng Mansion will be endless, allowing the Kaifeng Mansion to be occupied by the Liukou, which is a situation that the emperor and the cabinet cannot tolerate, Kaifeng Mansion is one of the largest ancient cities in the north after all.

This is also the reason for Zheng Xunrui's key analysis, through 14 years, combined with historical knowledge and realistic understanding, he has his own accurate judgment on Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen has a particularly strong sense of face. Under normal circumstances, such a situation would not be allowed, and now that the situation of the rogue looting is acquiesced, it can only show that Zhu Youzhen has more important things to do, and in comparison, the matter of the rogue looting is put later.

Through the analysis of the situation in the capital. Zheng Xunrui quickly came to a conclusion and knew the actual reason, he secretly sighed, why did the Ming Dynasty in history fall suddenly, there are many reasons, but the root is still in Zhu Youzhen and the imperial court, Zhu Youzhen has a strong sense of face, and he is very happy to do things. I always like to show my own excellence, and after encountering things, I hold on to them and don't solve them in combination with the actual situation, which is like a car that can only pull ten tons of goods, and it is strange that it actually pulls a hundred tons of goods, and it does not collapse.

The problems of the Ming Dynasty have been deeply animated, and tinkering will not help, only to make subversive changes. But Zhu Youzhen couldn't do this, not just because he lacked confidence. The ability is even more insufficient.

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Wen Kun and Li Yan entered the room, and the staff department composed of the four of them and Sun Chengzong had already begun to operate, and there were many things to deal with, so they were extremely busy during this time, but Sun Chengzong, as a member of the staff department, was only in name. didn't actually do things, Sun Chengzong was not in good health because he was old, and he might not agree with Zheng Xunrui's practices. It is also impossible to actually participate in the affairs of the General Staff.

Wen Kun has been transferred back to the Nanjing Military Department and entered the General Staff as the right attendant of the Military Department, and Cao Chi, the former governor of Jinzhou, was transferred to the prefect of Suzhou, and the governor of Jinzhou was temporarily concurrently served by Yang He, deputy chief of the Zheng Jiajun.

Looking at the tired faces of Xu Wanghua and the others, Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke.

"The responsibilities of the staff are more than those of the imperial cabinet, no wonder you are so tired, but you don't need to be in such a hurry to do things, step by step, some things can't be forced, when the time comes, many things will fall into place."

Xu Wanghua looked at Zheng Xunrui and sighed softly, in his eyes, Zheng Xunrui is always so light-hearted, even if he encounters major changes, this is probably the difference between Zheng Xunrui and everyone.

"My lord, Nanzhili, Shaanxi and Shandong and other places, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with, especially in Shandong, there are a lot of things, according to the arrangement of the adults, the subordinates want to bring Dengzhou and Laizhou into the second army of the Zheng family army under the control, as long as they can control Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that they echo each other with Fuzhou and Jinzhou, the power of the Zheng family army in Shandong will become stronger and stronger, not only the Houjin Tartars dare not act rashly, even the imperial court is helpless......"

Xu Wanghua and others do a lot of things, everything they do, they need to think carefully, they need to be very careful, they need to take into account the influence of all aspects, no matter what, Zheng Xunrui or the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Taibao, the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, if it is revealed since then the attitude of the emperor and the court, it may cause a lot of turmoil.

"Mr. Xu, I know what you think, and I know all of your concerns, but this kind of worry may not be very necessary now."

When Zheng Xunrui said these words, everyone was stunned, could it be that Zheng Xunrui was about to rebel.

Looking at everyone's faces, Zheng Xunrui felt a little uncomfortable, although these people are his absolute henchmen, but the concept of orthodoxy in everyone's hearts will not be completely eliminated for a while, this is human nature, it is impossible to avoid, it can be seen that he Zheng Xunrui really began to rebel, I am afraid that he will face a more difficult situation for a period of time.

"I think you have all read the information sent by the Investigation Agency, maybe you are busy with specific things and have not paid special attention, so I will ask a few questions, and you will help answer them one by one."

"The first question, Li Zicheng occupied Kaifeng Mansion City, Zhang Xianzhong occupied Xuzhou City, why did the emperor and the imperial court not order Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, to immediately send troops to recover Kaifeng Mansion City, and at the same time completely exterminate the Liukou."

"The second question, the cabinet has undergone a major adjustment, the first assistant of the cabinet Qian Shisheng wants to be windy, to rain and rain, he is powerful in the DPRK, and there are countless people who are in trouble, and Qian Shisheng appointed a large number of Donglin Party members to enter the six ministries and the capital departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as officials, so that the power of the Donglin Party is strong again, and the emperor is rare not to worry at all, and let Qian Shisheng develop."

"The third question, when the emperor first ascended the throne, he had made up his mind to exterminate the power of the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuchs were not allowed to control any power for a period of time, and even the eunuchs in the army were all revoked, but it didn't take many years for the emperor to trust and reuse the eunuchs again, and the eunuchs and eunuchs were even able to directly participate in the court meeting, which the emperor did not do, which shows that the emperor was extremely disappointed in the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and could only trust the eunuchs around him, the chief eunuch Wang Chengen, The eunuchs Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Wang Dehua and others are not ordinary, could it be that they will see the power of the cabinet getting bigger and bigger, so that they threaten the power of the celebrant eunuch, and they are indifferent to the rise of Qian Shisheng and the Donglin Party. ”……

Zheng Xunrui's several questions directly pointed to the point, and the answers behind them were about to come out.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, the first person to speak was Wen Kun.

"The lower officials thought that the emperor might put the focus and mind on Nanzhili."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and nodded.

"That's right, the emperor has pointed the finger at me and Zheng Jiajun, in his opinion, Zheng Jiajun and I have become the biggest threat to the Ming court, the degree of danger far exceeds that of the Houjin Tartars and Liukou, Liukou is ravaging in Henan, this matter seems to be very serious, but it is only the interests of Henan, it will not affect the court for the time being, if I have any action, then the direct threat is the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is still smart in this regard."

"I have to say that the emperor's thinking is still relatively comprehensive, but it is a pity that he has lived in the deep palace since he was a child, and he always sees things outside, and his own ability is not very strong, so the decisions he makes are often unsatisfactory."

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he often faced a two-front war, there was a rebellion of the rogues inside, and there was an invasion of the Houjin Tartars in the north, according to the strength of the imperial court, it was impossible to face the two forces at the same time, in this case, the emperor should stabilize one side, for example, negotiate with the Houjin Tartars, temporarily stabilize the Houjin Tartars, and concentrate on exterminating the Liukou, this is not a shameful thing, Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, in a critical moment, have done this."

"Nowadays, the emperor is even facing the possibility of a three-front war, the Houjin Tartars in the north, the Liukou in Henan, and the Zheng Jiajun in Nanzhili, Shandong and Shaanxi, to put it mildly, any threat along the way, the imperial court needs to spend all its strength to deal with it, and it may not be able to deal with it."

"It's a pity that the emperor's heart is very big, and he sees me Zheng Xunrui as the biggest threat, and he would rather let the Liukou plunder in Henan, but also free up his hands to deal with me, this is really ridiculous, is it possible that the emperor thinks that the Liukou is so obedient, and the Houjin Tartars in the north will stay honestly according to his emperor's intentions, I see that when the Liukou and the Houjin Tartars are in trouble at the same time, how can the emperor deal with it, how should the Ming Dynasty be maintained......"

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Wanghua and the others had completely understood the meaning, it turned out that the emperor and the imperial court did not urge Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, to quickly recover the Kaifeng Mansion City, and did not attack the Liukou with all their might, the purpose was to concentrate on dealing with the Zheng family's army.

The next thing is easy to explain, the emperor appointed Qian Shisheng as the first assistant of the cabinet, and watched Qian Shisheng use many Donglin Party members, which is to let the Donglin Party people come forward to deal with Zheng Jiajun.

Such a bad idea, wouldn't it make the Ming Dynasty speed up the pace of destruction, as Zheng Xunrui said, the Liukou will not be satisfied with just occupying the Kaifeng Mansion City, and the Houjin Tartars will not be satisfied with always staying in Liaodong, once they are in trouble, they don't know how the emperor and the court should respond.
