"Chenqiu Hejia Chongzhen reported on the sixth day of October in the fourth year: After investigation, 44 generals, including the forward general Zu Dazhen and the deputy generals Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Cao Gongcheng, and Han Daxun, had surrendered to Dongyu ten years ago.

According to the people of the border, after the surrender of the ancestors, Hongtai and the rulers of Bel Dai Shan, Bel Abatai, Derge, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, Yue, etc., swore an oath with them on the banks of the Daling River.

When the eastern captives could not attack Jinzhou, when the division was withdrawn, they had widely distributed leaflets nearby, which included the words that after the surrender of the ancestors, if the eastern captives separated their wives and children, and dispersed their belongings, the heavens would condemn them, seize their calculations, and make them die. If a surrendered soldier is coerced, flees, or rebels, he will also be robbed of his account and will be killed. If you can fulfill this alliance, heaven and earth will bless you, your life will be extended, and the world will enjoy peace..."

Wang Dehua read a sentence, then looked up at Chongzhen, the latter's face was already iron-blue, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, and he had a seizure, and roared: "Zu Dazhen is ungrateful, he is mistaken!" He deserves to die! ”

The aftermath kept echoing in the main hall, and the hall that had been warm before was already cold.

The news of Zu Dajian's gold reduction was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which not only deeply hurt Chongzhen, but also shook the officials in the hall.

After Zu Dazhu was surrounded, the government and the opposition thought of the worst outcome, that is, Zu Dazhu and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died at the hands of slaves, but none of them thought that Zu Dazhu would surrender!

Zhou Yanru was the first to react, but instead of comforting Chongzhen, he scolded indignantly: "Zu Da Ji is a wolf-hearted dog, this thief and that Yuan Chonghuan have long had an affair with Dongyu, hateful, we are all hidden from him in the dark, thinking that he is a great loyal minister!" ”

As soon as he heard Zhou Yanru say this, he knew that he wanted to clear up the relationship with Zu Dajian, and he said angrily: "Now it seems that this Zu Dajian is afraid that he has long colluded with Jiannu in private, and the so-called siege is only a pretense, in order to ask the imperial court to send reinforcements, so that Jiannu can use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, eliminate my reinforcements, and weaken my Ming army!" ”

"Lord He is reasonable, and the minister thinks so." Wu Zongda hurriedly echoed the road, although he didn't necessarily agree with He Ruzhong's speculation in his heart, but there was no way, if he didn't completely set the ancestor Dazhu at this time, who knew what the emperor of Lu Dao would think, and he would know that Lu Dao had been protecting his ancestor for the past two years, but it was his first assistant Zhou Yanru. If it weren't for Zhou Yanru's repeated concealment of Zu Dajian and covering up for him, where would Zu Dajian be able to sit in Liaodong, just because he repeatedly refused to accept the edict to meet this crime, it would be enough to cut off his head a few times!

When today's son is young and anxious, he can't hold his breath whenever something happens, and he doesn't care about the cause and effect, he only knows how to punish the officials concerned, if he doesn't fool Zhou Yanru in the past, the Son of Heaven will be angry and will punish him, and he is in the same boat with Zhou Yanru, where will there be a good life.

When the Jiannu soldiers came to the city, the Son of Heaven could arrest Yuan Chonghuan and put him in prison, let alone at this time?

Thinking of the scene of Yuan Chonghuan's arrest two years ago, Wu Zongda couldn't help but panic, and looked at Zhou Yanru with some fear, who nodded slightly to him, and his eyes signaled not to panic. Wu Zongda calmed down a little.

Wen Tiren was so close, how did the small movements of Zhou Wu and the others avoid his eyes, but in his eyes, he was silent, and only looked at Chongzhen fixedly.

Among the officials in the back, if someone with a heart observes at this moment, it can be seen that the position where Wen Tiren is standing is three steps away from the other cabinet scholars, while the others are only one step away.

An official with a fast brain inadvertently thought of the four words that Dangzi once said to hundreds of officials today - "benevolence is not a party"

First of all, it was a big victory, and in the blink of an eye, there was the bad news of Zu Daji's gold reduction, this joy and sorrow were only a moment apart, I really don't know how Qiu Hejia did things, why didn't he say the two things together!

Some officials secretly scolded Qiu Hejia for not knowing how to do things, so that now the palace is neither happy nor sad.

The officials in the hall looked at Chongzhen blankly, not knowing what to say.

Chongzhen's anger at this moment is even greater than when Yuan Chonghuan deceived him, he hated Zu Dajie for betraying his trust and doing this betrayal of the country and the king. But he didn't think about how Zu Dajian, who had no food and no help, could really stick to the last soldier at the extreme.

Wang Dehua was closest to him, and he didn't dare to move because he was afraid.

Suddenly, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, howled: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of death!" ”

Chongzhen was taken aback by him, and asked him with a blue face: "Why did you come to the death penalty?" ”

Xiong Mingyu didn't speak, first kowtowed three times, then raised his head, and said with a self-reproachful face: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, can't recognize people, and used Zhang, but the reinforcements were defeated, and Zu Dazhen held on to hopelessness, so he lowered Jiannu." If the minister was able to insist, without Zhang, how could Zu Dajie reduce the gold! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru and He Rupet's faces suddenly changed, and Wu Zongda's heart jumped up like a rabbit.

Xiong Ming is not authentic, in order to protect himself, he wants to stay out of the matter and drag us into the water!

The three of them thought in unison, because when the court selected candidates for the supervising army, the opinion put forward by the military department was that Sun Chengzong, the commander of the Liaodong Economic Strategy, was under the unified command, but Zhou Yanru was afraid that Sun Chengzong would have great power, and he was afraid that he would make great contributions, so he was called into the cabinet by Chongzhen and threatened his position, so he strongly advocated that Zhang Zhang, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, should serve as the commander of the army. Now that Zhang is defeated, Zu Dajian has lowered his gold and pursued it, Zhou Yanru is naturally responsible, but he Xiong Mingyu can use this to clear his responsibility, it is really a good knife to kill people invisibly!

If you want to bring down the old man, you are still tender!

Zhou Yanru snorted secretly, immediately went out of class, and said: "Your Majesty, if you make a mistake in employing people, the military department is naturally responsible, but the cabinet coordinates the six departments, and the minister is the first assistant, so he is also responsible no matter what, so the minister is willing to take responsibility with Lord Xiong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Ming was stunned, his heart was not good, Zhou Yanru was going to tie himself together.

I can't help but be anxious, and I regret that I shouldn't have said that.

The hundred officials didn't know the internal cause, and it was a little strange to see that Shoufu and the military department were there to ask for guilt. Wen Tiren was transparent in his heart, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered secretly, the emperor in front of him was already angry, Zhou Yanru's move to retreat is afraid that it will not work, and if you don't do it, you will have to steal the chicken and pour a handful of rice on credit.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen suddenly sighed lightly, his eyes swept over Zhou Xiong and the others one by one, and then said calmly: "If you say that you don't pay attention to employing people, I also have the responsibility, so why should you bear it." Get up, I don't blame you, I want to blame, I only blame me for believing in Zu Dazhen too much. ”

embarrassed, and cut corners, but not because of something, but because the weather is too cold - Jiangsu is not comfortable with eight degrees below zero, and his fingers are so cold that he can't hit the keyboard.
