Chapter 1139
The city of Taiyuan in Shanxi was [-] miles away from the capital, and Sun Chuanting's manuscripts were sent to the court case of Zhu You, the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty, in only four days.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the freshly released document in front of him with a confused face.

What about "edge talent"?

Why did he only serve for three or four months, without even fighting a single battle, and the good general of the town led the elite to join the thieves?

That Sun Chuanting is not a fool, naturally that Shudu wrote flowers and flowers.

The general content has the following points:
[-]. The thieves wanted to invade Shanxi, and Wang Zhong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, led an elite battalion across the river to meet the enemy.

As a result, he saw that the thieves were powerful, so he didn't dare to fight and surrendered to the enemy.

[-]. Zhang Shun, the "thief chief", led an army of [-], and wanted to cross the river from Yumen.

While inviting Xuanda governor Zhang Fengyisui to come to help, the minister personally led the general Zheng Jiadong and a thousand people from the Xinlianbiao battalion to block Yumendu.

Later, the people were recruited and many banners were raised to bluff the "shun thieves".

Then the minister climbed up Longmen Mountain and scolded the "Shun thief" with righteous words.

The "Shun thief" saw that our army was powerful and well-organized, and he was scolded by his ministers, so he retreated ashamed.

[-]. In order to conceal his incompetence, the thief deliberately played a trick of alienation, following the example of the Cao thief in the Three Kingdoms in the past, and altered a letter with his ministers.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting was afraid that the court would misunderstand and be taken advantage of by thieves, so he deliberately wrote a letter to explain it.

Chongzhen couldn't tell whether it was true or not for a while, so he couldn't help but order Yang Sichang to come and ask.

Yang Sichang's father, Yang He, was newly mourned, and he should have kept his filial piety for three years, but now the captives from the east and the bandits from the west are sharpening their knives every day, making the world uneasy.

Therefore, after he finished handling his father's funeral, Chongzhen personally issued an order to "take love" and order him to wear mourning clothes.

Not long after, Yang Sichang was indeed dressed in sackcloth and rushed over with a sad face.

Hearing Chongzhen's rough talk, Yang Sichang couldn't help but twirled his beard and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Where is the so-called 'divorce plan' letter?"

Chongzhen flipped through it, and then took out a letter and handed it over: "I handed it over, sir, please read it!"

Yang Sichang opened it and saw a letter with random handwriting and many alterations came into view.

I saw that there were many grammatical incomprehensions in the letter, and there were vague words of "as promised" and "thank you".

Yang Sichang couldn't help frowning, he originally thought that President Sun Chuan and the edge talents, even if they were a bit arrogant, he tolerated it.

It's just that I didn't expect that this guy not only lost a battalion of elites, but also forced a town's commander-in-chief. It's really unreasonable!
He couldn't help laughing and said: "This is just Cao Mengde's old wisdom. Believe it or not, it all depends on His Majesty's holy judgment!"

"How do you say that?" Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

"This is a major national event, why is Mr. Yang so frivolous?"

"Those who have the right to change are subject to change!" Yang Sichang laughed when he heard this.

"The country has its own laws, and the court has its own rules. Everything can be done in accordance with the laws and rules. Only its contingency should be in charge of your majesty."

"The husband and grandson who inherit the court are known for their talents, so I recommend him to be in the thatched cottage."

"However, since he took office, there has been an uproar in Jin, and the general town has turned to thieves, so that Shanxi is empty, and it is almost taken advantage of by thieves.

Chongzhen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he understood the meaning of Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Previously, Yang Sichang strongly recommended this person because he heard that he had "frontier talent" and could help the court manage Shanxi.

Now this talent has served as the governor of Shanxi for three or four months, and as a result, Shanxi's civil affairs and military affairs have been messed up, so whether the court needs to tolerate him or not is two things to say.

So Yang Sichang's meaning is very simple, if your majesty wants to use him, you can hold him high, if you don't want to use him, just punish him directly!
He, Yang Sichang, was not Sun Chuanting's biological father, so it was fine to help him once, and he never risked offending the emperor to help him a second time.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being moved when he heard the words: "Mr. is a true gentleman. If I hadn't had Mr.'s help, how could I survive today? Without Mr., the great Ming Dynasty would not be safe!"

This Yang Sichang is Sun Chuanting's recommender, when others criticize him, it is normal for Yang Sichang to protect this person to death;

It's just that when Sun Chuanting was unable to complete the affairs entrusted by the court, Yang Sichang was able to speak frankly that among the courtiers who formed cliques for personal gain, he was really a clear stream.

"Your Majesty's appreciation is like a fish in water, how dare you refuse to die?" Yang Sichang kowtowed after hearing the words.

The two of them had some politeness, and then Chongzhen frowned and said, "Who can replace him?"

It is easy to deal with a Sun Chuanting, but it is difficult to deal with a Zhang Ni.

It is useless to get Sun Chuanting down. The key is who can do things in Shanxi without spending money, and replace Sun Chuanting.

Knowing this all of a sudden, how can anyone under Yang Sichang's hands be available?

He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but tell the truth: "I don't know who can be used. If Your Majesty is interested, I will pay attention to this matter."

"Then let's do this for now!" Chongzhen nodded.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, since no one can replace Sun Chuanting, let's do it first!
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, hurried in with something in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, urgent military affairs in Shanxi!"

"What's the matter?" Chongzhen couldn't help raising his voice.

"The eunuch guarding Shanxi issued an urgent document, claiming that Sun Chuanting colluded with the rebellious officials and thieves, and wanted to surrender the land to the enemy!" Wang Chengen said in shock.

"What?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Yang Sichang.

Then Yang Sichang couldn't help frowning, he had already concluded that "Sun Chuanting's collusion with the thieves" was a plan to alienate, could it be that something happened?
"What evidence is there?" Chongzhen asked, calming down.

"Yes!" Wang Chengen hurriedly handed the object in front of his eyes.

"Here are the statements made by the guarding eunuch investigating the onlookers, and Sun Chuanting's attempt to buy the guarding eunuch's one hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred taels? Could it be that he can't even get five hundred li of silver, but he's still an upright official!" Chongzhen couldn't help sneering.

Hearing this, Wang Chengen drooped his eyelids and didn't dare to speak.

Grandpa Huang, you are wise, I just said that it is too shabby to hand over two hundred taels!
Chongzhen picked up those confessions and looked at them for a few times, and his face became more and more ugly.

"What, what's the matter, Your Majesty?" Yang Sichang was puzzled and asked hastily.

"Look, look at the good things this guy has done!" Chongzhen laughed angrily, and couldn't help throwing the confession in his hand on the ground.

Yang Sichang quickly bent down to pick it up, opened it, and saw that it read:

On November [-]st of the eighth year, Sun Chuanting and the Shun thief met at Yumendu.

Shun thief said: "You thief is so ignorant. I didn't intend to attack Shanxi."How do you, a thief, send soldiers into my territory, lightly start the war, and disturb the people?
I had no intention of coveting the world, but Sun Fujun was so provocative. I don't know if Sun Fujun wants to fight or make peace?
Chuan Ting said: "This matter is purely a misunderstanding. Benfu heard that there were rioters in Hancheng, so he sent troops to help King Shun!"

Shun thief said again: "So that's the case, but it's wrong to blame the nobleman."Thanks to Sun Fujun for sending an elite battalion, so Shanxi is within easy reach.If you get the help of Sun Fujun, the world will have nothing to worry about!

It's just that the king doesn't carry many soldiers and horses now, which is not enough to take Shanxi completely.

I also ask Fujun to be patient for a while, when the time comes, everyone will invade the Forbidden City, take over the world, share the wealth and honor, and never break their promises!

When Yang Sichang saw this, why didn't he understand?

It turned out that Sun Chuanting was cleaning up the farmland in Shanxi and training soldiers, so that he offended the gentry in Shanxi.

This Shanxi gentry is much more powerful than the Shanxi gentry whose literary style is not flourishing.

Celebrities like Wang Jiaping, Zhang Siwei, and Xue Xuan were all the chief assistants of the cabinet during the Wanli period; and during the Tianqi period, Han Yu of Puzhou also served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and there are countless other ministers and governors.

Those who are still in office and those who have just resigned include Zhang Fengyi and Wei Yunzhong, Governors of Xuanda, Cao Yubian, Yushi of Zuodu, Zhang Pengyun, Governor of Shuntian, Zhang Guangqian, Shaoqing of Marble, and Li Jiantai of Guozijian Jijiu, etc.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting was in trouble now, who wouldn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury and vent his anger?
