It is also a rule handed down during the Jiajing period, when the general Qiu Luan bribed Tumut Altan Khan, concealed the war situation and falsely reported the war exploits, and it became a big case after being found out afterwards, and there were many deaths, and the plant was extremely wide, and the military situation in the border town was also very close, once it was found out and concealed, it was strictly handled and rehandled.

I thought it was a deed that the sky was falling apart, but I didn't think it was a false alarm, but the reaction of the border army of Jizhen and Liaozhen was really chilling, and the first assistant Sun Chengzong rectified it over there for a few years, and it was actually such a result, which made the relevant people very ugly, but Wang Zaijin's judgment was quite accurate, which made people look up, so there was no obstacle to this matter of entering the cabinet as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and it was done quickly.

Whether it is Sun Chengzong's deflated or Wang Zaijin's admiration, it is not very important in the current situation, the already crumbling body of the Emperor of the Apocalypse finally couldn't hold on, and after being frightened and vomiting blood that day, he never appeared in the palace of the court meeting again.

But the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not as lazy as he was after ascending the throne, but summoned the eunuchs and ministers to discuss politics in his dormitory, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was supported to walk on the ground for a while, most of the time he could only lean on the bed, and occasionally had to lie down to rest in front of the ministers.

If it was put in the past, there was little to talk about etiquette, but in this situation when the monarch and the ministers were suffering together, those senseless disputes and saliva were much less, and everyone calmly came to busy with big things, although everyone said that His Majesty would recover soon, but even the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself did not believe in these words, and now the court meeting has seen the figure of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and the young vassal king just stood by and listened.

I originally thought it was a vassal king who died in the fiefdom, but I didn't expect that there would be such a creation, and he actually had the life of the prince, and it looked like he was about to soar into the sky.

For this Xin Wangye, the cabinet members are not very worried, when the Emperor of the Apocalypse is still the prince, when he is guided by Sun Chengjiao, Zhu Youzhen often observes, and admires the upright and solemn Sun Chengzong, as for Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, after a little investigation, everyone knows that King Xin has always had a very good impression of Qingliu, but Qingliu is too lazy to pay attention to the vassal king, so there is no connection, as for Wang Zaijin's side, he doesn't seem to care much about the position, so naturally he doesn't care about these.

What is really nervous is the eunuchs in the inner court, from Wei Zhongxian down, the powerful Da Jue has no friendship with this king of letters, this is normal, the glory and wealth of the eunuchs are only in the son of heaven who they serve, the concubines and princes do not count, not to mention the king of the vassals, as everyone knows, the king of letters Zhu Youzhen is extremely resentful of this eunuch party, thinking that the Ming Dynasty has reached this situation, and it is completely the disaster of these eunuch officials.

"Long live the lord, the edict appointing Sun Chuanting as the governor of Datong has been issued, according to the meaning of Sun Ge elders, the edict specifically pointed out the new law and arbitrariness, Xu that Sun Chuanting implemented the Xuzhou thief law in Datong and Shanxi, in order to see the results." Wei Zhongxian said.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, glanced at his younger brother Zhu Youzhen on his side, he only hopes that this young and enthusiastic brother can learn more things, so as not to be in a hurry after taking the throne, he is not like himself, he can have the leisure to do carpenter work, what worries the Emperor of the Apocalypse is that he likes a lot, good beauty, good carpentry, good plays, and his own brother has almost no hobbies, he always feels that there is a great truth in the scriptures of the saints, I heard that he was taught by those old Confucians in the mansion, and developed some very bad habits.

Over there, Wei Zhongxian continued to report: "After Xiong Tingbi came out, he was grateful and determined to serve the country loyally."

"I've already reported to the royal brother." Xinwang Zhu Youzhen said lukewarmly, Wei Zhongxian bowed deeply, the faces of the other people in the room remained unchanged, but their eyes changed slightly, and Xinwang's attitude was enough to explain a lot.

A wry smile appeared on the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who was leaning over there, and he just said in a weak voice: "The matter of selecting and promoting young and promising people must be handled as soon as possible. ”

The ministers and eunuchs are all bowing down and agreeing, even the letter king Zhu Youzhen is agreed, the Ming scholars are the core, the backbone, they are the real subject of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no support from them, this Ming will no longer exist, Mongolia on the grassland, the Jurchens outside the Guan, no matter how big the threat is, the Ming monarchs and ministers are not worried about the choice of the scholars, because it is a Tatar barbarian, and in the bitter cold and remote places, the gentry naturally know how to choose, but Xuzhou is different, he is also a Chinese people, and in the heart of the world, as long as Xuzhou opens enough conditions, It's really hard to say how everyone chooses, in fact, everyone has more or less understanding, there are already many people who show favor to Xuzhou, and even some people have valuable status.

After saying everything that should be said, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent all the people in the dormitory out, leaving only the letter king Zhu Youzhen, this move will also cause rumors inside and outside the palace, the first credit of the Son of Heaven and the close father of Wei did not stay to serve, this must be something strange.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse was about to speak, but he coughed, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, hurriedly brought a bowl of warm water over and helped his brother drink it, and he could see the blood from the Emperor of the Apocalypse coughing up from the handkerchief, and Zhu Youzhen's eyes were red.

"You have to be nice to the internal officials, I heard that you are also very strict with the people around you, Cao Huachun and they are all trembling?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked gently.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was stunned at first, and then realized that the wind and grass in his palace would be reported to the apocalypse by Wei Zhongxian's eyeliner, which made Zhu Youzhen unable to hold back the emotions in his heart, and said angrily: "Brother Huang, all the affairs of our Ming Dynasty are corrupted by these eunuchs, and the younger brother really doesn't dare to get close to these villains." In the current situation, the imperial brother should recall the righteous courtiers with the intention of cheering up, and now these internal officials and villains are still too involved! ”

Hearing this, the smile on the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse disappeared and became a little cold, the king of letters, Zhu Youzhen, also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and stood there with his head bowed and his hands tied, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at his younger brother, the coldness on his face turned into disappointment, and the disappointment turned into helplessness, and finally he just sighed lightly, and said gently: "Fifth brother, what is the eunuch Qingliu, they are all the slaves and courtiers of our Zhu family, what is right and wrong, loyal to our Zhu family, it is right to do errands for us, it is right, and it is wrong not to do this, It's evil. ”

Because there are only two brothers here at this time, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always loved and been close to his younger brother, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother Huang, the eunuchs have brought disaster to the country and the people, they have deposed Qingliu and made this state affair corrupt, not to mention anything else, if it were not for the eunuch party's rampant expropriation, how could it have provoked the chaos in Shandong, the people of Xuzhou, if it were not for the incompetence of the eunuch party and collusion with bandits, how could it have been defeated several times, and let the state affairs fall into such a situation!" ”

Listening to the impassioned enthusiasm of Zhu Youzhen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was speechless for a while, and was silent for a while before asking: "Have you ever thought of who told you these words, and who said them?" ”

This question made Zhu Youzhen stunned for a while, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head and said: "Scholars can write and speak, they naturally will not scold themselves, they will only blame others for all their sins, have you ever seen the internal officials say any reason?"

Looking at the application of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not continue, but just changed the topic and said: "Now young and promising officials are being promoted everywhere, although these people are the protégés of the ministers of the court, but the grace is from above, if you are good at it, you can still harvest a group of loyal courtiers, these are your fundamental team." ”

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang's health will definitely get better, don't say such unlucky words, my brother is afraid." When he said this, Wang Zhu Youzhen's tears flowed down, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"You go out first! I was a little tired, so I called the Imperial Doctor and Wei Zhongxian to come in. Emperor Tianqi showed a tired look on his face, and motioned to King Xin Zhu Youzhen to retreat, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly retreated and left, and the other party just now made King Xin Cheng panic.

Watching his younger brother withdraw, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little helpless, he didn't expect that today, the vassal king didn't need any education, and as a result, his younger brother became such a pure character, those Confucian students who only knew that the sages and sages really deserved to be killed, but thinking of this, the Apocalypse Emperor himself was also smiling bitterly, no wonder who, teaching the vassal king should have taught like this, but he didn't know how much his younger brother could learn.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt tired, and he wanted to fall asleep in a groggy state, and a smile appeared on his face before he went to sleep, no matter what, this country and mountain society would definitely not die in his hands

**************

After Zhao Jin led the army back to Shandong, it was completely different from when he first came, before and after the occupation of Linqing to the north, the whole Shandong was more or less suspicious, this Xuzhou Zhao Jin with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses actually entered the North Zhili, he dared to confront the court with nearly 100,000 troops, and dared to make it clear that the rebellion, no matter how strong his Xuzhou soldiers and horses were, there was no such disparity to win more with less, and the most optimistic people had reservations.

Therefore, although the father and son of Linqing Li Patrol were the number one contributors to helping Zhao Jin win Linqing, after the Zhao family army entered Beizhili, many local leaders deliberately distanced themselves from the Li family, so as not to have any twists and turns to be settled after the autumn, and even the two reinforced regiments of the Zhao family army stationed in Linqing were treated very coldly.

But all this changed after the triumphant return of the Zhao family's army, the almost flattering gentry and local tyrants stepped through the threshold of the Li family, the young and strong who joined the army, and the materials of the labor army were piled up in the garrison of the two left-behind regiments, everyone knows that no matter what happens elsewhere, the surname of Shandong in the past few years is Zhao.
