Chapter 590: Zhu Youzhen's Decision
The capital, the imperial study.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at the music in front of him with a sad face, and his face was extremely ugly.
The thieves in Shanxi are getting more and more fierce.
Except for the line of Puzhou, Hejin County, and Pingyang Mansion, which was desperately guarded by the Fuliu Kou Xing Red Wolf, other places can be said to be erosive.
Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, retreated to Taiyuan, and outside the city of Taiyuan, almost half of Shanxi was abused by the rogues at will, and war was burning everywhere.
"What about Cao Wenzhao?" Zhu Youzhen said with a dark face: "Where did Cao Wenzhao go?" ”
The great eunuch Cao Huachun stepped forward: "Cao Wenzhao is currently suppressing bandits in northern Shaanxi, and the Liukou Bu Mu led seven teams of tens of thousands of Liukou to cross the river and return to Shaanxi, and pulled with Cao Wenzhao's troops. ”
Zhu Youzhen was angry: "What about the white pole soldiers in Sichuan? ”
Cao Huachun: "The number of white pole soldiers is too small, and the supply of food and ammunition is not continuous, so at present, we can only resist back and forth on the line of Daning County, Pu County, and Pingyang Prefecture, and we are exhausted. ”
Zhu Youzhen was angry again: "What about the Shanxi General Army Kingdom Liang? ”
Cao Huachun: "I am defending Taiyuan." ”
Zhu Youzhen: "......"
The whole person is numb!
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Zhu Youzhen: "In other words, none of the officers and soldiers of my dignified Ming court can fight, and they are not as good as the robbed thief named Xing Hongwolf?" ”
Cao Huachun: "Ahem...... Xing Hongwolf has a lot of soldiers, she seemed to have laid a good foundation when she was a rogue in the past, and now there are 5,000 elite soldiers with her, so she is naturally much more powerful than other generals. Your Majesty, you calculate, Cao Wenzhao is only 3,000 people, the white pole soldiers in central Sichuan are only 3,000 people, and Wang Guoliang is only 2,000 people...... Xing Hongwolf has 5,000 people. ”
The expression on Zhu Youzhen's face was suddenly extremely exciting, like that kind of "ah, fuck" expression, but as an emperor, he couldn't swear.
After a long while, he said depressedly: "This is also true, the rogues always have a lot of troops in their hands, and there are many of them inexplicably. ”
In order to comfort him, Cao Huachun had to say: "The emperor can rest assured, there are also some of our officers and soldiers who can fight, under the command of Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Shaanxi, there are two thousand households who are very capable of fighting, one is called Shi Jian, and the other is called Wang Xiaohua. ”
"Longmen Yellow River Bridge?" This name fell into Zhu Youzhen's ears, and he was a little confused: "There is a bridge on the Yellow River?" ”
Cao Huachun: "According to the report of the people below, there is an immortal who built a huge bridge over the Yellow River, spanning a hundred zhang, majestic and majestic......"
Zhu Youzhen: "What nonsense! Where does the absurdity come from? ”
Cao Huachun coughed twice: "What's this...... Your Majesty also knows that the officials below always like to write the recital, you look at the recital written by Shi Jian, he said that he rushed into the enemy formation single-handedly, killed three in and three out, and the arrow taken out of his body weighed two catties...... By the way, he is also the one who guards the Longmen Bridge. ”
Zhu Youzhen "snorted" and said: "Then I know, this so-called Longmen Bridge should be an iron chain pulled from the east end of the river to the west end of the river, and then used the iron chain to build a raft pontoon bridge for people to pass, and half of Shi Jian's military exploits must have been blown out." ”
Cao Huachun: "That's how it should be. ”
Zhu Youjian was unhappy, seriously unhappy. However, it is better to brag than not to brag, this Shi Jian has made meritorious contributions after all, and he will not do anything to him just because Shi Jian has bragged a little bit, and even has to promote him.
It is necessary to let this kind of military attache who can win the rogue be promoted, and promoted to other military attaches who can't win the rogue to see, so that other military attaches will work hard to suppress the bandits.
Zhu Youzhen said to Cao Huachun: "Help me write a holy decree, Xing Hongwolf, Shi Jian, and Wang Xiaohua are meritorious, and they should be rewarded, and the military department will arrange arrangements for these three people, and see if there are any positions suitable for them to mention." In addition, Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, was not effective in suppressing bandits, so he couldn't share his worries for me, so he let him go home and eat himself. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who are useless will be punished, and the rewards and punishments will be clear, and they will be shown to civil and military officials. ”
Cao Huachun hurriedly started writing.
At this moment, a little eunuch ran in: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent secret letter sent by Jinyiwei." ”
Jin Yiwei's urgent secret letter, of course, is to be seen.
Zhu Youzhen took the letter as soon as possible, looked at it fixedly, and was immediately surprised, this letter was sent by Shi Kefa, a hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei, who is rooted in Miao Hong, although Judge Shi Ke is not big, but his family is a generation of Jinyiwei, a firm imperial party, and he is absolutely trustworthy.
The letter actually said that the Qin Wangfu organized the dead soldiers to attack the transport team of the official mansion, and Shi Kefa also caught the live mouth and confessed.
Zhu Youzhen's mood was like sitting on a jumping machine.
While Cao Huachun was helping him write the holy decree, he was also peeking at the letter in Zhu Youzhen's hand, and after reading it, he couldn't help but shed a drop of sweat and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is ...... But how is it good? ”
Zhu Youzhen: "Hmph! The Qin Wangfu is also lawless. ”
Cao Huachun: "Want to move the Qin Palace?" ”
Zhu Youzhen shook his head slowly: "Can't move!" ”
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always had a guilty heart for the "Qin Palace".
This guilt is caused by a combination of factors, one is that in order to stabilize the imperial power, the emperor cut the military power of the Qin domain, from tens of thousands of soldiers to only 500 personal soldiers, so the emperors of all dynasties will compensate the Qin domain from other places.
The second is the issue of the succession of the King of Qin and the Prince of Qin, and the Ministry of Rites has been dragging on it for a long time. It has been delayed again and again since the Wanli year, and it has not been solved until the Chongzhen Dynasty. The civil officials did this, of course, to avoid the Qin domain occupying too much land, but this kind of mop made the emperor angry, and he issued several orders to scold the civil officials.
The royal family is ashamed of the Qin Palace!
Where can you clean it up now?
Zhu Youzhen said: "The royal family has always owed something to the Qin Palace, if it is because of this matter, they will take the Qin Palace, and other vassal kings will be cold, what face do I have to go to the spring to see the ancestors?" ”
Cao Huachun: "But...... He made too much trouble this time, and even the living mouth fell into the hands of Shi Kefa, how can he justify it on the side of the civil officials? ”
Zhu Youzhen frowned and thought about it for a while, and sighed: "You write a decree for me, asking Shi Kefa to send that live mouth solution to Beijing, and arrange for someone to kill him halfway." I wrote a holy decree in my own hand, scolding the Qin Palace, scolding a little fiercely, a little more ruthlessly, and asking Zhu Cunji to be a person with my tail between my legs for a while, and wipe this matter over. ”
Cao Huachun: "In this way, the civil officials will scold the emperor again." ”
Zhu Youzhen: "Let them scold, this group of civil officials can't do anything else except scold, I'm afraid they won't be able to scold?" ”
So, the matter was decided.
Zhu Youzhen wrote a holy decree in his own handwriting, scolded Zhu Cunji, and told him to be a good man, don't make trouble for himself, and stop competing with civil officials, otherwise he won't be able to protect him......
