"Brother Fourteen, what are you waiting for? We're going to rush forward now! ”

Duoduo looked at Dolgon, who was constantly watching Zunhua City on his horse, and said anxiously.

At this time, the Jurchen cavalry with two white flags and the Jurchen cavalry with yellow flags were also gearing up and eager to try, for fear that they would not be able to grab the main task.

Hunting with banners, neighing horses, Dolgon was eager to order to rush over at this time, but Dolgon's reason told him that he couldn't do this, one is that the Ming army is waiting for work after all, and if it is attacked now, the loss will be greater, and the second is that he must wait for Huang Taiji to arrive in person.

In the imperial study, Chongzhen once again announced the decree: summon the British public Zhang Weixian.

To say that this British Duke Zhang Weixian is also a loyal Ming meritorious service, and he is the first "royalist" that Chongzhen has just crossed over to support, and Zhang Weixian's existence is to restrain Wei Zhongxian's disorderly government, and then after Wei Zhongxian took out the "secret decree" of the apocalypse, he did not attack him again.

Another point is that Zhang Weixian, as the hereditary merit of the Ming Dynasty, still has an inexplicable rejection of the factory guards, after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has been reusing the factory guards but alienated this old minister, Chongzhen himself also felt a little inappropriate, so he secretly decided to think that in the future, he should pay enough attention to these courtiers who are loyal to him.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Jiading Bo Zhou Kui and Zhou Wenbing, Zhou Wenyao and the two brothers have arrived in a row, perhaps in a hurry, although the cold winter wax moon day, several people are already flushed, sweating, a few people are busy saluting, looking at a few people's bean-sized beads of sweat hanging on their temples, Chongzhen can't bear to say: "Everyone has worked hard, give a seat!" ”

After everyone sat down, Chongzhen ordered someone to serve tea, and said at the same time: "You are all the most trusted subordinates of the widow, this time we quickly summoned everyone to come, it is really because the Ming Dynasty is now in danger, the Shaanxi refugees are rioting, Sun Boya has just rushed to sit in the town, and now Jiannu has bypassed the Guanningjin defense line and crossed the Mongolian army to Zunhua City." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone who had just secretly rejoiced gasped, the riots of the displaced people in Shaanxi were civil strife, and Jiannu's words have always been the influence of the external Liaodong region, but this time the internal and external troubles have come together, and it seems that the situation is becoming more and more severe.

Sun Chengzong first lifted his robe, knelt directly on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the Guanning Jin defense line, which the minister has always been proud of, ignored the Jizhen defense area, making the Tartar break through the pass, this crime is in the minister, I implore Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Looking at the old superintendent with white hair in front of him, Chongzhen felt like a mirror in his heart, he wanted to protect Yuan Chonghuan from the crime of one person, after all, the current Yuan Chonghuan is the Jiliao Governor, if Chongzhen is really like the change of his own Si, he fell into the Huang Taiji's "anti-intermittent plan" and put Yuan Chonghuan directly to death, then Da Ming is really over, thinking of this, Chongzhen can't help but secretly admire Sun Chengzong's open-mindedness, this person only has Da Ming and the emperor in his heart, but not himself, Chongzhen secretly thought in his heart.

"The Inspector's words are wrong, first of all, the Jurchen did break through the barrier unexpectedly, and secondly, you are not the Jiliao Governor now, so I can't blame you anyway."

Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and said sincerely.

When Sun Chengzong was thinking about how to open his mouth to intercede for Yuan Chonghuan, the eunuch's shout came at this time: "Li Qiyuan, the head of the household, asks to see him outside the palace." ”

"Xuan Li Qiyuan will meet you."

Li Qiyuan is over the age of old this year, this person is an upright official, conscientious, Chongzhen still attaches more importance to him, especially on the reform of finance and taxation has made outstanding contributions, but at this time Chongzhen has no time to communicate with him about this, but to transfer grain for disaster relief.

Chongzhen looked at Li Qiyuan, who was in his prime, and asked, "Li Aiqing, I remember that you were the governor of Shaanxi during the Taichang period, and the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi were in charge of food and salary, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is the trilateral grain and salary of Shaanxi that was promoted to the governor after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne."

Li Qiyuan was a little puzzled, thinking to himself, how could the emperor remember to ask this? But as a courtier, he is still self-aware, and he should not worry about himself and never ask too much.

Chongzhen said slowly: "That's the case Li Aiqing, the last time Qian Qianyi sold grain, he charged his grain to the household department, how much surplus grain is there in the household department now?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, since the last time the four major grain merchants involved in dumping grain in Jiangnan were uniformly raided, the surplus grain of about 900,000 stone was collected from the national treasury."

When he said this, Li Qiyuan couldn't help but feel the spirit, for no other reason, since he took charge of the state treasury, the state treasury has never been so surplus as it is today.

Chongzhen was also in good spirits when he heard this, after killing Qian Qianyi last time, he asked the people from Jinyiwei Academy to go directly to the four thousand households in Jiangnan to pay attention to the follow-up matters, and by the way, let the materials of the family be sent to the treasury in a unified manner, fortunately, Tian Ergeng, who was in charge of this matter at that time, had the vision to see and put the materials into the treasury, so the specific amount of Chongzhen sent to the treasury is not very clear.

"Li Aiqing, that's the case, at present, the displaced people in Shaanxi are rioting, and I have ordered Sun Chuanting to go to Shaanxi as soon as possible, but about the displaced people, I think it is better to suppress and appease them, after all, most of them are still victims who can't eat enough, so I decided to requisition 500,000 stone of grain and grass to escort Shaanxi for relief."

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Li Qiyuan, Sun Chengzong, Jiading Bo and his son all stood up and bowed, in their opinion, this is not just a simple relief, but the emperor who assisted him has the atmosphere of the lord of Zhongxing, and took out more than half of the grain and grass in the treasury at one time for disaster relief, even Li Er, who claims to be the general of Tiance, may not be able to do it! Your Majesty really loves the people like a son, everyone thought.

Of course, because of historical reasons, there were not so many homeless people during the Li Er period, and what Chongzhen inherited was a mess, so there was no way to do this.

"If I were really Shengming, there wouldn't be so many displaced people, and besides, the grain in the treasury itself is taken from the people, and now is the time to use it for the people."

Chongzhen said self-deprecatingly.

Everyone didn't dare to answer when they heard this, but Li Qiyuan took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister asked for his life to go to the governor of Shaanxi for disaster relief, and there will never be another layer of exploitation and deduction." ”

"If so, I am very relieved, then Li Aiqing will go back and prepare! This time I went to Shaanxi, let Tian Ergeng go with you. ”

After Li Qiyuan got up and retired, Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "Sun Aiqing, just now because of Li Aiqing's visit, I see that you seem to have something to say, now say it!" ”

Sun Chengzong's expression of wanting to speak was taken in by Chongzhen, only to hear Chongzhen cough lightly and say: "Sun Aiqing, don't worry, now is the time to think about how to retreat from the enemy, not to ask who is to blame, Yuan Chonghuan will not blame him." ”
