"If Yuan Futai is willing to send troops, Nanjing is willing to pay two million silver to fund military expenses."

"Liaodong has been in arrears for many years, two million, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Everyone knows that the financial affairs of the imperial court are dry, that is, these two million are still the princes who poured out their wealth and raised people and businessmen, and all the princes are selfish in order to save the society.

“...... In this case, Yuan is willing to be the forerunner and fight for rebellion. ”

-----------------

On the eighth day of February in the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, and Sun Guozhen, the governor of Denglai, raised the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and each commanded 20,000 troops to join Beijing.

On the seventeenth of the same month, Zhu Chunchen, who was pushed out by Zhu Youzhen as a scapegoat, conspired against the crime and ambushed him, and razed the three clans.

At this point, the lineage of Chengguo Gong, who accompanied Chengzu Zhu Dijing, was completely erased from the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty still left the princes, only the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Duke of Wei Xu Hongji, the Duke of Dingguo Xu Xigao, and the Duke of Qianguo Mu Qiyuan and other four people.

There is also Wei Liangqing, the Duke of Ningguo, that is, Wei Zhongxian's adopted son.

A total of five major princes.

However, these five people only have the title of duke, and it has nothing to do with the government.

The Xu family and the two princes no longer care about the government, Mu Qiyuan is in Yunnan, and the British prince Zhang Weixian also has little sense of existence, and Wei Liangqing returned to his hometown Suning after Wei Zhongxian's death.

The life and death of their five lineages completely depends on Zhu Youzhen's mood.

On February 23, Zhu Youzhen issued a holy decree, adding Yuan Chonghuan the title of Liaodong Governor and Secretary of the Military Department, and ordered him to sit in Ningjin to guard against Houjin.

Jiasun Guozhen, the governor of the left capital, and the rank of squire of the military department sat in Dengzhou and Laizhou, serving as the support of Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, and attacking southern Liaoning to provide Yuan Chonghuan with a leading role.

When the news reached Nanjing, Wen Tiren and other officials all celebrated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhu Chunchen is ambushed, we can enter Beijing, and jointly ask the saint to move the capital south."

Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and others also wrote letters and sent them back to Nanjing, urging Wen Tiren and other officials to enter Beijing as soon as possible, so as to sort out the central government and assist in national affairs.

After waiting for half a month, more than 100 officials in Nanjing arrived in Beijing, and Zhu Youzhen personally went out of the city to greet him.

"When I enter Beijing, I can be regarded as down-to-earth."

Wen Tiren led the hundred officials to bow down, and wept: "The ministers were shocked to hear that Your Majesty was in trouble, which was tantamount to a thunderbolt hitting the top, and they couldn't be panicked all day.

The rescue is too late, and I hope that His Majesty will punish him. ”

"Wen Qing, please get up, all gentlemen, please get up." Zhu Youzhen bent down to help Wen Tiren up, and he was also choked with emotion: "I bow down with a squint, inherit the inheritance of the ancestors, and descend to hundreds of millions of trillions; If the government is not repaired, the chaos will become worse day by day. The sage is in the lower position, and the unscrupulous are not far away; to the anger of the heavens, and to accumulate grievances against the people.

The government affairs are troubled, and the strength is not caught, so that the child will become a thief, and the fertile field will become a wasteland, and the shame of the country will be great.

Now that Qing and others have entered Beijing, Sheji is hopeful, and I am also hopeful! ”

The officials wept sadly, and for a time on the outskirts of Beijing, the crying shook the sky.

Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, who were standing behind Zhu Youjian, watched this scene, and they all smiled bitterly in their hearts.

is another group of unlucky people who were deceived by Zhu Youzhen's age.

Now that you have entered Beijing, don't think about returning to Nanjing in this life.

Do you still want to persuade Zhu Youzhen to move the capital?

Dream on!

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel a kind of sadness, after all, they were all members of the Donglin Party, but now he could only watch his colleagues being deceived and even killed and could not do anything.

Zhu Youzhen's methods are too brutal and too vicious, and among the tyrants of the past and present, I am afraid that he can be regarded as the only existence.

Wen Tiren is obviously not aware of the danger now, and the first thing he did after returning to Beijing was to find Zhu Youzhen and say this.

"Your Majesty, the minister sent someone to send Hangzhou Jinshi Qian Qianqiu to Beijing, but the person is still alive?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned, and almost couldn't control his laughter.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, at this time, Wen Tiren still wanted to kill Qian Qianyi.

A good thing, a great thing.

"People are in Jinyi Guard's prison."

Hearing that the person was fine, Wen Tiren was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person has always seemed to be loyal and good, but secretly he is a traitor and a party, and his friends are chaotic to trap the gentleman.

Since the meeting and the meeting, the story of the ancestors is stopped, and the two people preside over it, and there is nothing to say; That is, when words come out, disaster will follow. The ministers are courageous, and ask His Majesty to punish the crime and be humble, re-elect the cabinet ministers, and help the society to be safe. ”

Kneel and kowtow, and speak sincerely.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't control his facial muscles anymore, and couldn't help but smile mockingly, but fortunately, Wen Tiren buried his head and didn't see it.

"Wen Qing is loyal to the monarch and the country, he is a virtuous minister and a capable minister, but he is very popular with his henchmen, all over the north and south, and I am afraid that there is no help."

Wen Tiren was overjoyed when he saw that Zhu Youzhen was shaken, and hurriedly raised his head and said: "If Your Majesty believes in this matter, the minister is willing to do his best to drive His Majesty, contact hundreds of officials, and impeach." ”

"In this case, three days later, I will come to Fengtian, and I will decide on my own."

"Yes, the minister retired."

Wen Tiren, who received a satisfactory reply, was immediately overjoyed and retired and left.

Zhu Youzhen kept watching his back disappear, and then turned his head to Wang Chengen and said, "Go and call Qian Qianyi." ”

"Your Majesty plans to tell Qian Qianyi about this?"

"Of course, you have to say hello when you borrow something, not to mention borrowing something as valuable as your head, wouldn't it be too rude not to say it."

Wang Chengen was awe-inspiring and hurriedly sent someone to pass it on.

Qian Qianyi, who entered the palace, didn't know what was going on, but he felt restless and his eyelids were beating wildly, so as soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen, he made a five-body gift and did his best to be humble.

"Minister Qian Qianyi knocks on my emperor, and bows to Wan'an."

"I'm bowing, Qian Ge Lao, please get up, big mate, give Ge Lao a seat and watch tea."

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was so kind and polite, Qian Qianyi's uneasiness in his heart was even stronger, now he knows too well how cunning and vicious the emperor in front of him is, and often once he is polite to you, there will definitely be no good things.

Sure enough, Qian Qianyi had just dropped half of his buttocks, and he knelt on the ground in fright because of Zhu Youzhen's words.

"Wen Tiren, the right talent, came to me, and said that when the old master of Qian Ge took the test in Zhejiang, he accepted bribes from candidate Qian Qianqiu, and Wen Tiren planned to contact the hundred officials to impeach you in three days, and cheating in the imperial examination is a crime of killing the head, and I have no choice, I plan to borrow your head."

Qian Qianyi suddenly cried: "Your Majesty, you have promised the minister, as long as the minister is loyal, he will not kill the minister." ”

"Look at you, you cry at every turn." Zhu Youzhen walked up to Qian Qianyi with a smile, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the latter's tears: "Of course what I said must be fulfilled, but this is not that I want to kill you, but the law of the country wants to kill you."

Tell me, it's not good for me to disobey the law of my ancestors, I told you in advance that I have done my best, won't this give you three days to prepare for the future.

Pavilion Lao An is going to die with peace of mind, and your family will definitely be treated favorably, otherwise the male hair Ning Jin and the female supporting teaching workshop, the dignity of the Qian family will be completely lost.

Qian Ge is a smart person, and he won't be embarrassed when he thinks about it, and he won't bite indiscriminately, right? ”

Qian Qianyi's lips turned pale and trembled vigorously.

He had the heart to refuse, but he clearly knew that once he refused, or talked nonsense, then it would inevitably be worse than death.

"Three days later, Wen Tiren was impeached, and Qian Ge Lao sat on the crime and went to Jinyi to guard the prison, I will issue an order, let the provinces govern and discuss the crime together, if everyone thinks that Qian Ge Lao will not die for his crimes, then I will spare your life, how about it?"

Zhu Youzhen pointed out a way out for Qian Qianyi again, but it made the latter even more frightened.

How could the emperor's methods be so vicious.

Let the provincial political envoys and procurators discuss the crime together, that is, to split the entire Donglin Party.

In order to survive, Qian Qianyi will mobilize his henchmen to fight against Wen Tiren, and Wen Tiren has been pushed to the front of the stage by the emperor, and it is impossible to get out, so he has to exert his strength to fight for Qian Qianyi's fatal blow.

In this way, there will be a big fight within the Donglin Party, from the dislike between Qian and Wen to the fight between the two factions.

As soon as the Donglin Party was dispersed, it would be much easier for the emperor to recapture Nanzhili.

At this time, Qian Qianyi remembered Zhu Youzhen's last sentence just now.

What do you mean not to be embarrassed, not to bite indiscriminately?

This is planning to borrow his own mouth to pull Cheng Jiming and others into the water.

As a result, several giants of the Donglin Party fought with each other, and they didn't beat out all the dogs' brains.

In the end, the emperor was able to wipe out the entire Donglin Party and uproot it without much effort.

And the remnants of the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party will also rush to surrender to Zhu Youzhen, and the imperial power will be unstoppable from Beijing.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Qian Qianyi with a smile, waiting for the latter's reply.

After a while, Qian Qianyi lowered his head like ashes.

"Minister, receive the oracle, thank you, Longen!"
