Chapter Fifty-Six: The Deliberations That Have Gone Wrong

Nevertheless, when the young emperor clearly put forward the party struggle and misled the country, it was enough to be shocking.

Because legally speaking, officials who form a party, kill their heads and rob their homes, and exile their relatives and relatives are punished extremely severely.

In other words, if the young emperor wants to severely punish and severely punish the party for personal gain, there is a legal basis, and it is not nonsense.

As for the righteous men and gentlemen in Donglin, have they formed a party for personal gain, and the party is the same as the other, and they haven't forced a little bit in their hearts?

"The party is fighting for the country, the army is slack, the finances are insufficient, and the powerful are corrupt and ......" Wen Zhenmeng pondered intently, examined the question again, and nodded understandingly.

In his view, the ills listed by the Holy God are not exaggerated, but they are insignificant. But this is not that the saints do not understand or know, but it is deliberately done to test the knowledge of the lifters.

For example, if you want to start with the abolition of the army and write your proposal for rectification, you must know what are the shortcomings in the army, such as what officers eat empty salaries, withhold salaries and food, and embezzle the land of the guards.

Another example is that the finances are insufficient, you have to understand what taxes are paid by the imperial court, and where to reform the tax sources such as agriculture, commerce, industry, and mining in order to increase fiscal revenue.

In short, it cannot be said without substance, it must be justified.

This requires the lifters to have a certain amount of social experience and life experience, and be able to gain insight into the disadvantages in order to find a practical way to promote the good and eliminate the bad. Otherwise, it's empty talk.

After thinking about it again and again, Wen Zhenmeng put pen to paper and drafted, preparing to start with the embezzlement and corruption of powerful officials, state his own opinions, and write his own suggestions.

"Eliminate the old and weak, punish the corrupt generals, suppress the strong and strong, train strictly, and provide sufficient food and ......" In another house, Lu Xiangsheng, a vigorous lifter, also wrote down the key points he wanted to discuss on scratch paper.

………………

Party strife is a sensitive topic, and the marquee in the court is also mostly hidden behind shady scenes, with ulterior transactions and conspiracies.

For example, the three major cases of the Ming Palace, but behind them are the interests of the parties.

Through the "palace transfer case", the Donglin Party won the favor and reuse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the limelight overtook the five parties of Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kun as a whole.

Then it was the creation and in-depth study of the "Red Pill Case", which forced the resignation of the first assistant Fang Congzhe, the collapse of the Fang cabinet, and the Donglin Party was able to monopolize the situation.

The conspiracy and shady scenes of these flies are not known to those who can try.

And the Donglin Party's elimination of dissidents is under the banner of a high-sounding sound. The gorgeous rhetoric and the coat of "clear stream" have confused many people in the world, and they are sought after and praised by many people.

Obviously, many people do not have enough understanding of the harm of the Donglin Party to the country, or even do not realize it.

Such a political atmosphere made Zhu Youxiao feel very depressed, lonely, and angry.

At noon, the young emperor had a gloomy face, listening to the courtiers below discussing the war in Liaodong. There was a lively discussion, but it didn't do much.

If you wait for the results of your court discussions before mobilizing the army to carry out the operation, Quang Ninh will already be cold.

Well, it won't be too long, so I'll send you a cool song.

Zhu Youxiao adjusted his posture on the throne, put his chin on one hand, and looked at the guys below with interest, as if he was watching a wonderful show.

Liaodong's urgent report finally arrived this morning, and it really caused a sensation and shock.

Xiping Fort fell, and 3,000 defenders were killed; Tens of thousands of reinforcements suffered a crushing defeat at Sand Ridge; Xiong Tingbi gathered the defenders of the surrounding forts and defended Quang Ninh; Wang Huazhen's confidant Sun Degong rebelled and was captured when he attempted to seize the city; Wang Huazhen was imprisoned and detained, awaiting conviction by the imperial court.

Zhu Youxiao received an urgent report and immediately summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs above the fourth rank in Beijing to the Qianqing Palace.

"Wang Huazhen has negligence, how can Xiong Tingbi have the power to imprison the minister of the frontier?"

"Even if he is guilty, he should let Wang Huazhen make meritorious contributions. Xiong Tingbi's seizure of the city was for the sake of transgression, and he should be held responsible. ”

"Quang Ninh City has been besieged by thieves, and the internal and external voices are different, how to be responsible?"

"After the integration of gong and crime, Wang Huazhen neglected to supervise, and Xiong Tingbi could not escape the blame."

"Although Xiong Tingbi is a strategy, he has no soldiers and no generals, and he is ordered to garrison in the mountains and seas; In the war in Guangning, the responsibility lies with Wang Huazhen, and he should be severely punished. ”

"The Ministry of War responded to Wang Huazhen's requests, suppressed Xiong Tingbi again and again, Guangning was defeated, and Xinjiang was bad, isn't it responsible?"

……………

What are these guys discussing, don't you know? Zhu Youxiao became more and more disappointed, but did not say a word.

Anyway, this is also a show, Liaoxi and Tianjin, Denglai, and Dongjiang are all arranged, and Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao, has also moved to the mountains and seas, just watch these guys jump up and down, and they can better distinguish the good from the bad.

If Wang Huazhen is convicted, the ministers of Donglin who support him will also be implicated, and it is reasonable to defend him.

It's not a good thing. The remnants of the five parties, who were squeezed out of breath by the Donglin Party, took the opportunity to attack and let out a bad breath.

Could it be that no one cares about the war, no one cares about the safety of Guangning, and the life and death of the remaining Ming army and hundreds of thousands of Liao people?

"Long live, the minister impeached Xiong Tingbi for acting beyond his authority......"

"The minister impeached Xiong Tingbi for the crime of being in charge, as a Liaodong economic strategy, he used his excuse to control ......"

"The minister impeached Wang Huazhen for despising the enemy and bullying the king."

"The minister impeached Wang Hua Zhen and was ashamed, he never practiced soldiers, and he believed in the traitorous general Sun Degong, which led to the defeat of Shaling, and should be sentenced to prison."

……………

Facing the awe-inspiring civil officials, Zhu Youxiao sat up slightly straighter, waved his hand and said: "Wang Huazhen is suspended from his post pending investigation, and Xiong Tingbi temporarily let him stick to Guangning." Qing and others will be impeached, and today is the court to discuss the military and come up with a countermeasure to save Guangning and Liaoxi. ”

The emperor set the tone, and the ministers shut up one after another, but they argued about how to act.

"Shaling was defeated, the Guangning army suffered heavy losses, and Liaoxi was empty, or endangered the mountains and seas. The top priority was to ensure that the gate was closed so that Jiannu would not disturb the Jingshi. ”

"The city of Quang Ninh is high and the pool is wide, and it is not easy to build slaves. The officers and soldiers of the town can be adjusted to go out across the sea to attack and harass them, forcing the enemy to retreat. ”

"Dengzhen was first built, and the combat power was insufficient, just to harass, it may not make Jiannu retreat. Dengzhen should be sent to Fuhai to Juehua to strengthen the defense of Ningyuan City to prevent Jiannu from knocking on the pass. ”

"The minister, please transfer the governor of Jiliao, Wang Xiangqian, to move the town to the mountains and seas to ensure that the door is safe."

……………

No one mentioned Mao Wenlong, they all thought that after the defeat of Zhenjiang and the defeat of Tieshan, Mao Wenlong would be useless even if he was a little defeated.

Zhu Youxiao set his eyes on Zhang Heming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, waiting for this guy who had done his best to stand for Wang Huazhen to go out and perform.

When Wang Huazhen blew the cow to the sky, how did you support it? Now that Wang Huazhen is bad, see what you say and how you arrange it?

Zhang Heming was also remorseful in his heart, and secretly scolded Wang Huazhen for harming himself. But seeing the emperor's gaze, he had no choice but to go out of the class.

"The ministers are frightened, and they misbelieve and turn their words into words." Zhang Heming first confessed, and then said: "The minister asked himself to go to the side, in order to stabilize the endgame in western Liaoning, and solidify the gate of Shanhaiguan." ”
