Daming wolf ride

"Chenqiu Hejia reported on the sixth day of October in the fourth year of Chongzhen: After investigation, the forward general Zu Dashou and the deputy generals Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Cao Gongcheng, Han Daxun and other 44 generals surrendered to the Eastern Captives ten days ago.

There are border folks who say that after the ancestral tribe descended, the Eastern Captive Hongtai and the ruling Beile Daishan, Beile Abate, Degelei, Jierhalang, Azige, Dorgon, Duoduo, Yue, etc. and the banks of the Daling River Swear to it.

Donglu was unable to attack Jinzhou. When withdrawing his troops, he spread leaflets nearby. It said that after Zu Dashou surrendered, if Donglu separated his wives and children and scattered his belongings, heaven would punish him and seize his records. died young.If the soldiers who return to surrender are coerced by coercion, flee or rebel, they will also take away their records and cause them to die prematurely.If you can fulfill this alliance, heaven and earth will bless you, your lifespan will be extended, and the world will enjoy peace..."

After Wang Dehua read a sentence, he raised his head and glanced at Chongzhen. The latter's face was ashen, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He burst out and roared: "Zu Dashou is ungrateful, he misled me! He deserves to die!"

The lingering sound echoed non-stop in the hall, and the hall that was previously warm was already icy cold. [

The news of Zu Dashou's surrender of gold was like a bolt from the blue, which not only deeply hurt Chongzhen, but also shocked all the officials in the palace.

After Zu Dashou was besieged, the ruling and opposition parties thought of the worst outcome, that is, Zu Dashou and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed by slaves, but none of them thought that Zu Dashou surrendered!

Zhou Yanru was the first to react, but instead of consoling Chongzhen, he cursed out of righteous indignation: "Zu Dashou is a wolf, this thief is the same as that Yuan Chonghuan, and he has had an affair with Donglu long ago, hateful, we are all kept in the dark by him. I thought he was a loyal minister!"

University scholar He Ruchong is Zhou Yanru's confidant and his most important helper in the cabinet. Hearing what Zhou Yanru said, he knew that he wanted to get rid of his relationship with Zu Dashou, so he said angrily: "It seems that now, This ancestor Dashou probably colluded with Jiannu long ago, the so-called besieged is probably just a cover for the purpose of asking the imperial court to send reinforcements, so that Jiannu can use his strengths to avoid weaknesses, eliminate my reinforcements, and weaken our Ming army!"

"Master He is right, and I think so too." Wu Zongda quickly echoed, although he may not agree with He Ruchong's conjecture in his heart, but there is no way, if Zu Dashou is not completely determined at this time, who knows what the emperor will do Thinking about it, you must know that Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, has been trying to protect the ancestor's longevity in the past two years.If Zhou Yanru hadn't repeatedly covered up for Zu Dashou, how could Zu Dashou have been able to sit in Liaodong, just because he repeatedly failed to obey the edict to see him, it would be enough to chop off his head several times!

Today's son is young and impatient, he can't hold his breath when something happens, he doesn't care about the cause and effect, he only knows how to punish the officials involved, if he doesn't fool Zhou Yanru, the emperor will punish him in anger, and he is in the same boat with Zhou Yanru , where there will be a good life.

Jiannu soldiers approached the city, and the emperor could arrest Yuan Chonghuan and put him in prison, let alone at this time?

Thinking of the scene of Yuan Chonghuan's arrest two years ago, Wu Zongda couldn't help feeling flustered, and looked at Zhou Yanru with some fear, who nodded slightly to him, signaling with his eyes not to panic.Only then did Wu Zongda calm down a little.

Wen Tiren was so close, how could Zhou and Wu's petty movements escape his eyes, but in his eyes, they remained calm and only looked at Chongzhen fixedly.

Among the officials in the back, if someone has a heart to observe at this moment, he can see that Wen Tiren's position is three steps away from the other cabinet scholars, while the others are only one step away. In the eyes, it has an unusual meaning.

Officials with quick brains suddenly thought of the four words that the emperor once said to all officials-"body benevolence is not party".

First came the great victory, and in the blink of an eye came the sad news of Zu Dashou's surrender of gold. The joy and sorrow were only a moment apart. I really don't know how Qiu Hejia handled things. Why didn't he talk about the two things together!

Some of the officials secretly scolded Qiu Hejia for not being able to handle affairs, and now the palace is neither happy nor sad.

The officials in Mandian stared blankly at Chongzhen, not knowing what to say.

Chongzhen's anger at this moment is even greater than when Yuan Chonghuan lied to him back then. He hated his ancestor's longevity for betraying his trust and doing this thing of betraying the country and abandoning the king.However, he never thought about how Zu Dashou, who was aided by food, would really stick to it until the last soldier.

Wang Dehua was the closest to him, but he didn't dare to move because of fear.

Suddenly, Xiong Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, wailed, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of death!"

Chongzhen was startled by him, and asked him with a livid face: "Why did you commit the death penalty?"

Xiong Mingyu didn't speak, he kowtowed his head three times, then raised his head, and said with a face of self-reproach: "Your Majesty, you are all ministers who can't know people. Zhang Chun was used, but the reinforcements were defeated. Zu Dashou Standing firm and guarding, this is how Jiannu was demoted. If the minister was able to persevere back then, without Zhang Chun, how could Zu Dashou be reduced to gold!"

Hearing this, the faces of Zhou Yanru and He Ruchong changed suddenly, and Wu Zongda's heart jumped like a rabbit.

Xiong Mingyu is not authentic, in order to protect himself, he wants to stay out of the matter and drag us into the water!

The three of them thought at the same time, because when the imperial court selected the military supervisors, the Ministry of War proposed that Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong economic strategist, should be under the unified command. However, Zhou Yanru was afraid that Sun Chengzong would be powerful and that he would make great contributions, so he was called into the cabinet by Chongzhen. Threatening his status, this is why he insisted that Zhang Chun, the young minister of the Taipu Temple, be the commander of the army.Now that Zhang Chun was defeated, Zu Dashou lowered the gold, Zhou Yanru was naturally responsible for the investigation, but he, Xiong Mingyu, could use this to clear his responsibility. It is really a good knife for killing people!

If you want to bring down this old man, you are still a little tender!

Zhou Yanru snorted secretly, and immediately went out of duty, playing: "Your Majesty, if it is said that there is a mistake in employing people, the Ministry of War is naturally responsible, but the cabinet coordinates the six ministries, and the minister is the head and assistant, so he must be responsible no matter what. Therefore, the minister is willing to cooperate with you." Lord Xiong will take the responsibility together!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Mingyu was taken aback, feeling bad, Zhou Yanru was going to tie himself together.

I couldn't help being anxious, and regretted that I shouldn't have said that.

The officials didn't know the internal cause, so it was a little strange to see the first assistant and the minister of the Ministry of war pleading guilty together.Wen Tiren, however, was transparent in his heart, twitched the corner of his mouth, and sneered secretly. The emperor in front of him was already very angry. Zhou Yanru's move of retreating into advance is probably useless, or he might have to steal chickens and pay a handful of rice on credit .

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen suddenly sighed softly, his eyes swept over Zhou Xiong and the two of them one by one, and then said calmly: "If you say that the employer is ignorant, I am also responsible, why should Qing and others bear the responsibility alone. Get up, I Not to blame you, but to blame, only to blame my wife for believing in Zu Dashou."

I was ashamed and cut corners, but it was not because I had something to do, but because the weather was too cold - minus eight degrees in Jiangsu is not a good feeling, and my fingers are too cold to type on the keyboard.
