please make me king

Chapter 186
In the Palace of Qianqing in the Forbidden City, the capital of Shuntian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Dingchen paid a trembling visit to the current emperor.

Today's son ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, just five years ago, but he is also a generation of emperors with the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart.He first decisively executed Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, and then executed Yuan Chonghuan who tried to fool things.It is by no means a generation that can be underestimated and bullied just because he is young.

At that time, all the literati and ministers thought that the Ming Dynasty had met a sage king for a long time, and all the people were in full prosperity, so they should rejuvenate and open a prosperous age again.So even though Xu Dingchen was nearly half a hundred years old, he didn't dare to show any disrespect to him.

Although the Emperor Chongzhen was anxious in his heart, he still suppressed his urging and said to Xu Dingchen: "The former governor of Shanxi, Song Tongyin, did not do his job well. There were a few rogues, and they were defeated repeatedly. Not only did they fail to complete the tasks I assigned, but they lost Zezhou City is truly incompetent!"

"The courtiers all thought that he should be punished according to the law. I thought he had no merit and hard work, so he was dismissed. He is only fifty, so he is so stupid. Let's go home and retire."

"Nowadays Song Tongyin's dereliction of duty has caused Shanxi's thieves to rage, and no place is safe. Xu Qing has gone to Shanxi and I don't know how to defend him?"

"Uh, my lord, I have received the order from my home and rushed to the capital without stopping. I don't know what's going on in Shanxi yet. I'll start playing after I understand the situation." Xu Dingchen replied a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Xu Dingchen and Xu Dingchen were dismissed from office and went home because they disobeyed Wei Zhongxian.This reinstatement, I haven't had time to visit the Ministry of War and walk around with my former colleagues.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's character, he was supposed to reprimand him, but the good name chosen by his parents left a good impression on the emperor.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen felt that this person was a lone minister who did not engage in party formation and selfishness, and he had a good impression of him in his heart.

However, the emperor was anxious and impatient with his procrastination. He was afraid that he would miss important state affairs, so he said: "No need, I will tell you the situation. Listening to the courtiers, the leaders of the bandits are 'Zijin Liang' and 'Eight Great Kings'." , 'Laohuihui' and others are the most fierce. They are entrenched in Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain. When the officers and soldiers arrive, they will disperse and flee. When the officers and soldiers leave, they will gather and become bandits. It is the most difficult."

While the emperor was narrating, he saw his eunuch Wang Chengen hurried in.This Wang Chengen was an old man beside him. He knew that when he was talking with the minister, he hated others coming to interrupt him, so he rushed over.

Emperor Chongzhen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there must be something wrong.Therefore, the emperor stopped talking for the time being, and asked directly: "Big companion, is there something wrong?"

"Grandpa, I have an urgent military report!" Wang Chengen responded quickly.

Chongzhen hurriedly took over the memorabilia that Wang Chengen had brought over, looked at it hastily, and his expression changed drastically.

Xu Dingchen knew that it was wrong to touch this bad head, so he just lowered his head and remained silent for a while.As a result, after waiting for a long time, I heard the young emperor sigh: "Xu Qing, things are troublesome!"

"There was a report just now. Song Tongyin, the former governor of Shanxi, acted ineffectively and tried to remedy it. He entangled more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and fought with the bandit chief 'Zijin Liang' and others in Lingchuan. He was defeated and no longer in the army. .”

"Ah?" Xu Dingchen couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he heard the words, he started from Shaanxi as a bandit.Although the momentum is huge, it is only the worry of mustard ringworm, which can be calmed down day and night.I never thought that now I can attack and kill the big officials of the imperial court, the fierceness is hard to control.

He couldn't help being surprised: "This thief leader 'Zijin Liang' has such a skill?"

"No!" Emperor Chongzhen said angrily, "This generation is nothing to worry about. There is only one thief named 'Optimus Prime', who is very brave. It is said that he is a subordinate of the thief chieftain 'Er Guan Gong'. Song Tongyin was killed by this person. hand!"

"According to reports, 'Er Guan Gong' has two sworn brothers, and his second brother is named 'Meng Zhang Fei', and this 'Optimus Prime' is his third brother. These three people lived and died together, advanced and retreated together, brave and unstoppable , the ranking is second only to the head of the bandit 'Zijin Liang'er! When you come to Shanxi, everything is extremely important!"

"Yes! I will kill this official to show the power of the imperial court!" Xu Dingchen said hurriedly.Who would have thought that for some reason this matter would be misrepresented in the dissemination, and the positions of "Second Guan Gong" Chen Changbing and Zhang Shun were reversed.

It turned out that after Zhang Daojun pretended to promise "Zijin Liang" Zhao'an, he entrusted his colleagues to report the truth and falsehood of the volunteer army to the Ministry of War.However, some people in the military department are too flexible. When they saw Zhang Daojun saying that "Optimus Prime", "Meng Zhang Fei" and "Er Guan Gong" were sworn brothers, they couldn't help laughing and said: "This Daojun has been away from the center for a long time, and he can't even make up lies. .Since ancient times, I have only heard of "Liu Guanzhang" three sworn brothers, never heard of "Optimus Prime"! What's more, the three sworn sworn brothers, the elder brother should be the main one, but the third younger brother is the leader of the thief? If so, submit the book, If Wanzai asks about this in detail, how should I answer?"

The other documents of the Ministry of War also felt very reasonable when they heard this statement.They all agreed and said: "Your Excellency's words are very true. I have read "Water Margin of Loyalty" very well. I only heard that Brother Song Gongming is the head of the village, but I haven't heard that other brothers are in charge of the family!"

So everyone made up their minds and changed this Dao Jun's post, copied it again, pretended to be the credit of himself and others, and submitted it to the palace as information.It is said that Xu Dingchen, the next governor of Shanxi, knew about it.

As soon as Xu Dingchen finished expressing his position, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Thieves and bandits are also my young children, and it is not appropriate to kill them too much. If there are any repentant people, they should be surrendered. It is okay to use bandits to attack bandits." !"

"This 'Optimus Prime' is nothing more than a starving man. It is unknown whether he was able to behead an official of the imperial court, or a fierce general. When Xu Qing came to Shanxi, he should kill the chief culprit. It is better not to hear about it!"

When Xu Dingchen heard the words, he didn't know that the emperor had a heart of loving talents, so he quickly responded: "I would like to obey the imperial decree. When I come to Shanxi, the first thing is to stabilize the situation to prevent the bandits from getting bigger; the second thing is to be kind to my neighbors." , invite Qin Bing, Xuan Da Bing, and Baoding Bing to attack the bandits from the mountain in three ways; the third thing is to gather the bandits together, or suppress them or surrender them, it is up to you!"

Emperor Chongzhen saw that this person was very organized and he could do things according to his wishes, and liked it in his heart, so he dragged him to talk in detail for a long time before letting him out of the palace.

Xu Dingchen didn't know much about Shanxi affairs, so he didn't dare to take office casually, so he hurried to the Ministry of War to inquire about Shanxi thieves.It turned out that almost all Zelu prefectures had fallen, and bandits often fled in Shangdang and Hanoi, and they were in danger of going north to Yingtian along the east of Taihang Mountain at any time.If there is such a thing, I am afraid that I will lose my head before the situation in Shanxi is stabilized.

Xu Dingchen was startled and frightened, and while preparing to take office, he wrote letters to Shaanxi, Henan, Xuanda, Tianxiong and other ministries, asking everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties.
