please make me king

Chapter 560 Above the Imperial Court
In the Ming Dynasty, in order to rule the country conveniently, transport materials and convey news, post stations and delivery shops were set up on main traffic arteries.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a station for sixty miles, and a shop for ten miles.Once there is an urgent message that needs to be delivered, let the shop soldiers work day and night to deliver it for the first time.

According to the regulations, according to the ancient law, one day and night is counted as one hundred quarters for the delivery of urgent official documents.However, when "official documents arrive at the store, regardless of the number of corners, they must be delivered immediately, regardless of day or night."Ring the bell at night and deliver it to the front shop, hand it over on the calendar, and write the time to the shop for verification.

Although the system at the end of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, even Li Zicheng was honorably unemployed because of Chongzhen's abolishment of the post station.At any rate, the imperial court still knew the importance of the post station, and did not dare to neglect the emergency military situation too much.

It was about [-] miles from Luoyang to the capital. Chen Qiyu was defeated and died, and Cao Wenzhao's defection to the enemy was transmitted through non-stop relays by urgently dispatched soldiers, and finally reached the capital five or six days later.

When Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, received the news of Chen Qiyu's death in battle, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted to the ground.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, things were not too bad, at least Chen Qiyu committed suicide.

If not, when Emperor Chongzhen made him "decent", no matter what "decent" is gone, I am afraid that his whole family will not be able to preserve it, and as his in-laws, he will inevitably be involved.

When Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported the matter to Emperor Chongzhen, as expected, Chongzhen couldn't help being furious.

He couldn't help asking: "First, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, lost his chance. What did you say to me that 'talent' is rare. I forgave his mistake and ordered him to do meritorious deeds. In this way, this person can't do meritorious deeds without mentioning it. Big mess."

"Leading [-] elite soldiers and attacking on three sides, they were defeated by the thieves one by one. The commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Wang Pu, died in battle, the general Liu Qian died in battle, and Cao Wenzhao, whom you strongly recommended, surrendered to the enemy! At any rate, this guy is a shameless man. , I also know that I can't explain to the people of the world. I will end it myself, and the people of the world will say that I am mean to him!"

Zhang Fengyi couldn't help sweating profusely when he heard the words, how dare he speak back?He quickly plopped down and knelt down, calling it a "death crime", and begging Chongzhen to punish him.

Chongzhen was still angry, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard that Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had an urgent military request to see him.

Chongzhen temporarily stopped reprimanding Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and responded: "Please Mr. Wen!"

Not long after, Wen Tiren hurried over.Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that he was playing power, and he was rated as a treacherous prime minister by later generations.He only knew that this person was also an isolated minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly welcomed him in.

Wen Tiren was so shrewd, he knew what was going on when he saw Zhang Fengyi kneeling on the ground and Emperor Chongzhen's face look sullen.

His henchmen spread all over the government and the public, and they already knew what Zhang Fengyi was playing.It's just that there is some news in my hand now, if I don't report it to Chongzhen, I'm afraid he will turn his anger on himself later.

He quickly pretended not to know, and said: "The military situation in Shaanxi is urgent. The new governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, led an army to fight against the bandits for a long time. The bandits have fled to the territory of Henan. Go out of Tongguan, join the troops under the command of Henan Governor Xuan Mo, and go out to suppress the bandits!"

"What a Hong Chengchou!" Chongzhen said angrily when he heard the words, "How dare you deceive the emperor and commit crimes!"

"Back when Chen Qiyu was here, even though he couldn't wipe out this generation, he was still able to trap them in the mountains. Zensheng was in his hands, not only couldn't wipe out the bandits, but let them escape from the sky. What's called 'fighting for a long time' is simply absurd! Extremely incompetent!"

Wen Tiren quickly called it a "capital crime" and knelt down with Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War.Then he hesitated for a while, and argued: "I have something to say, and I don't know whether to say it or not!"

"If you are loyal to the king, what is the inappropriate thing to say? Say it!" Chongzhen really took the bait.

"It's not that I care about personal gains and losses, it's just that I offend Zhang Shangshu a little!" Wen Tiren hurriedly said in fear.He has always appeared in front of Chongzhen with the image of "lonely loyal", so he took the opportunity to show his anti-colleague side.

Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was really taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking coldly: "I don't know what Zaifu means?"

"It's nothing interesting, just telling the truth that I know!" Wen Tiren said sarcastically, "I heard Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, argue that it was originally surrounded on all sides and there was no leakage. After he took office, he would be able to wipe out southern Shaanxi in one fell swoop. Jingxiang bandits."

"It's just that I never expected that Chen Qiyu, the new governor of Henan Province, would be proud of his credit, relying on the old to sell the old, and would not listen to his orders. He said that he was "obtaining thieves by order", and he insisted on mobilizing Yang Hualin, deputy commander of the Shaanxi Army, Liu Guozhen, and generals He Renlong and Liu Qian department."

"As a result, there were weaknesses in the land in eastern Shaanxi and western Henan. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, was in no hurry to make up for it, and the bandits took advantage of it."

"You~ you spew blood!" Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help being furious, and with a red neck, he wanted to grab the theory of the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren.

"Your Majesty!" Wen Tiren ignored Zhang Fengyi at all, and instead said to Chongzhen, "Although I'm not as good at soldiers as Zhang Shangshu, I have some guesses. I wonder if I can let Your Majesty listen!"

"Say!" Chongzhen was expressionless.

"Chen Qiyu, governor of Henan, is at a stalemate with the 'Shun Bandit'. Once the bandits from Shaanxi go east, I wonder how Chen Qiyu will deal with it?" Wen Tiren was confident.

"This..." Minister of War Zhang Fengyi was speechless.

"Then he will be attacked by Shaanxi bandits and 'Shun bandits' on both sides, and die in one battle!" Chongzhen suddenly realized.

"Yes!" Wen Tiren said with a smile, "From this point of view, Chen Qiyu doesn't know the soldiers! Please also issue an order to order Chen Qiyu to stand firm and wait for the bandits to be exhausted. Then order the governor of the five provinces, Hong Chengchou, to lead an army to respond. Today is the day to defeat the thieves in Shaanxi and Henan!"

"Although Mr. Wen's strategy is good, it's a pity that it's too late!" Chongzhen couldn't help but darken when he heard the words, and sighed, "Just now, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported that Chen Qiyu had been broken by the bandits, and he was defeated and died!"

"Ah? This..." Wen Tiren pretended not to know, and asked in shock, "How could it be so fast? Please punish Chen Qiyu for not being strict with the army!"

"Forget it!" It was rare for Chongzhen not to be fussy, "At any rate, it can be regarded as a martyrdom, and I will order the Ministry of Rites to reject this person's pension, so let's stop here!"

"The minister leads the decree!" Wen Tiren responded quickly, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart that the Holy One was mean and ungrateful.Since Chen Qiyu was guilty, he should be punished according to the law. If the Holy Grace had pardoned this person, why should he begrudge this small amount of compensation?

Sure enough, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, didn't look too good-looking, but it's great that Chen Qiyu has ended up like this, so he can't say anything else.
