The opinions of the important ministers were nothing more than divided into two factions: one faction said that they would go to the rescue; One faction said no. Anyway, the reasons they put forward are one, two, three, four, five, and they all make sense.

When he arrived in Zuihou, Emperor Chongzhen still decided to save him. The main reason, of course, is the face of the great powers, and the reason on the surface is to rescue the vassal states and contain the Manchus. Anyway, there are plenty of reasons inside and outside. In the end, it was decided that the Ministry of War would send a document to Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, and others, and wait until the sea surface would freeze after the beginning of spring, and take a boat from Shandong to North Korea for rescue.

Of course, this is a compromise result. The court also knew that it was delayed to the rescue at that time, and the daylily also became cold. But in this way, the Ming Dynasty's troops will not be lost, and the military expenditure will not be consumed much, and it is also the best of both worlds to make such a gesture. Therefore, the only point of contention between the supporters and the opposition is the difference between making a gesture and not even making a gesture, saving every tael of silver in the court.

And Qi Zheng, as a servant of the ministry, had nothing to do with him in today's discussion, but Qi Zheng was the first person to assist Wen Tiren, and Wen Tiren has always been consistent with Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen is very face-saving. So in today's discussion, Qi Zheng became a pawn and jumped to the front line.

Since it is an argument, according to the urine nature of these important ministers, they will quote scriptures, and they should also pay attention to the literary style, so as to leave a good impression in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, although he only spoke for most of the day, Qi Zheng was definitely overusing his brain, and he was also quite mentally exhausted. So not long after he got up the sedan chair, Qi Zheng had already fallen asleep in the swaying sedan chair.

"Sir! It's here! Someone outside the sedan chair was shouting softly.

Qi Zheng woke up from his sleep all of a sudden, he stretched out and walked out of the sedan chair, but faintly heard the crying from the inner house, Qi Zheng thought that he had not woken up and had auditory hallucinations, so he frowned and asked, "Who is crying?" ”

At this moment, Qi Zheng's housekeeper ran over with red eyes. He knelt in front of Qi Zheng with tears and mourning, and said, "The old lady is gone!" Huanggang's cousin young master is gone! The third young master is also gone! ”

Qi Zheng was shocked, and his sleepiness was completely gone, and he immediately asked loudly: "Could it be that Huanggang was broken by Shaanxi thieves?" I just met Da Sima, why haven't I heard of it? ”

"It's not thieves, they were killed by the officers and soldiers. Huanggang County sent someone to send a funeral report. ”

"Where are the people? Take me there! ”

For Wu Shigong's orders, the Runing Army has always fulfilled them to the letter, so when exterminating the gentry in Huanggang, his whole family did not leave chickens and dogs. So in the gentry's house, Qi Shilang's mother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew and nephew, as well as Qi Shilang's third son who sent him to visit his mother-in-law's house were all killed.

So after the Runing Army left. The magistrate of Huanggang County immediately sent someone to pass the news to Qi Zheng, and brought an impeachment letter against Wu Shigong. Of course, as for how the two sides had a contradiction, Huanggang Zhixian also made a spring and autumn penmanship, and took himself out.

It's all revenge for killing the son. Suddenly Qi Zheng jumped like thunder. There was nothing to say, when he understood the situation clearly. Immediately set off to the Shoufu Wen Tiren Residence. asked Wu Shigong to resist his life and avenge his three sons.

Wen Tiren of course fully supports his henchman's request for help, and this murderous revenge is indeed incompatible. Moreover, Wu Shigong's crime this time is not small, beating the magistrate, indiscriminately killing officials and relatives, and stealing people's property. And the evidence is conclusive, if you ask for the guilt, Wu Shigong will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

However, Wen Tiren was indeed a political master, and he immediately linked Wu Shigong's behavior to the big action to suppress the Donglin Party. After the arrest of Qian Yiqian. The officials of the Donglin Party in the imperial court will definitely write letters to intercede, but the more such letters are written, the more it seems that the Donglin Party is a party and private organization, the greater the disgust of Emperor Chongzhen, and the less likely Qian Yiqian is to get away with it. Seeing this opportunity, Wen Tiren cleverly wanted to hammer a nail on Qian Yiqian's coffin.

Very simply, because of Hou Sui, Wu Shigong was also classified as the Donglin Party. And now Wen Tiren is forcibly pulling Wu Shigong into the Qian Yiqian incident, and creating a false impression for Emperor Chongzhen: the Donglin Party not only has civilian officials, but also military attaches with heavy troops, so Emperor Chongzhen's reaction must be obvious. Qian Yiqian, the bigwigs of the Donglin Party, will definitely lose their lives.

Of course, as a small role to accompany the tying, Wu Shigong will definitely fall into Huangquan. However, for Wen Tiren, this also avenges the murder of his henchmen, and he can also avenge Wu Shigong's funny recital last time, which is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But now it's the New Year, and everything needs to be talked about after the New Year. So Wen Tiren helped Qi Zheng polish the impeachment chapter for one or two, and asked him to take action after the Chinese New Year.

But the movements in Qi Zheng's Mansion could not be concealed from outsiders at all. The secret agents of the Xue Mansion and the Shanchuan Division in Beijing all received the news, so they immediately passed the news back to Runing.

After Wu Shigong learned the news, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He had no idea that the family would have anything to do with the servants. If he knew, Wu Shigong could arrange a screening, anyway, it didn't matter if he killed a few fewer people.

But that's what happened, and there is no regret medicine. So Wu Shigong convened his staff to discuss the aftermath. This time, Deng Qifan's staff members were all in the same mouth, and they proposed to abandon the pawn to protect the car, find a scapegoat to kill the matter first, and then submit a lax accusation to the court, so as to avoid this catastrophe.

But Wu Shigong categorically refused, why did he need his subordinates to take the blame for his mistakes. Besides, Wu Shigong didn't think about this matter too seriously. Because at most, it is to dismiss the official and remove him! It's not the first time Wu Shigong has been Wu Baiding.

It can be seen here that because of the asymmetry of information, Wu Shigong made a major error in judgment. If he just killed the official family by mistake, as long as Wu Shigong found a way to fight with Qi Zheng, it was really possible to be just a dismissal from the government. Because the imperial court is indeed indispensable to the strong army of Runing Army now. But Wen Tiren linked this matter to the formation of the Donglin Party, and the consequences were unpredictable.

Another point is that Wen Tiren and Qi Zheng are both in the capital, but Wu Shigong is in Runing, so Wu Shigong's right to speak is completely lost. Therefore, at the beginning of this fight, Wu Shigong was at an absolute disadvantage.

But no one expected that when the New Year passed, after the yamen opened again, the impeachment chapter that the General Administration Department first handed over to Emperor Chongzhen was actually written by Gu Zhengqing, the prefect of Runing. (To be continued......)
