Daming wolf ride

When the officials in the hall heard Wang Zhidao's words, people from the same party were all sweating for him, but officials from different parties sniffed: Wang Zhidao is really boastful, and his performance must have been too much.

Zhou Yanru was full of praise in his heart, he didn't expect Wang Zhidao to be so clever, he was a Qucai, Qucai, to be the deputy capital censor, and he would be transferred to the sixth department to be a hall official after a while, and then he would join the cabinet also good.

The palace has been arguing for a long time, Wen Tiren, who is the chief assistant, did not say a word, but Wang Zhidao suddenly forced himself on the head, implying that Wang Kun was ordered by him, and if he didn't speak again, everyone might think that Wang Kun was really influenced by him instigated.But he did not argue with Wang Zhidao's accusation, but calmly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, Wang Zhidao is not just talking about the ministers, he is blaming the minister for neglecting his duty, the minister is also at fault in this matter, and he should be punished." Words and demeanor are all gestures of apology.

"Huh! I think he is blaming me! Wang Kun's ignorance, I have already accused him of slander, you hold on to it, what is your intention? Sending ministers is a last resort. How many times have I said it, is it not clear enough? Why is it involved so much? What do you say that the ministers who participated in the court were punished, and those who participated in the court were punished again, and all officials were punished for the courtiers. All kinds of falsehoods are too numerous to enumerate! Other political affairs above the court are all ministers. Could it be that the court Political affairs are all done by ministers? But whoever has been a minister is a talisman? If he neglects his duties and misbehaves, he will not be punished, right? Jin Xuan, the head of the Ministry of Industry, is ordered to manage military weapons and repair the city defense, but he does not even open the emplacement! Hu Liangji inspected Xuanda University for two years, but he didn’t realize the big disadvantages of rewards. Is this also an inappropriate punishment? He always borrows a topic, piles it up and pretends, and it falls into the history books.

As soon as Chongzhen uttered the first sentence, Wang Zhidao knew something was wrong. After listening to it later, his courage just disappeared, and he knelt down in fright. As soon as Chongzhen stopped, he hurriedly explained: "The Holy Spirit is here!" How can you allow internal and external ministers to disobey the public and abide by the law? There are those who do not obey the public and abide by the law. The Holy One has his own experience. The minister is because the internal ministers have been impeached more and more recently, and all the ministers have suffered many crimes. The outer court blames the auxiliary ministers for not applying for rescue. And the former assistant The minister was joined by Wang Kun, and the court was in panic, worried about Ji Gang's law, and the minister was only complaining about the words of the outer court. The minister was stupid, thinking that the courtiers could correct the courtiers, and the courtiers could correct the inner ministers." The voice was a little lacking in confidence, and he said frankly, "The minister's words are too fallacious, and the crime deserves death." [

Chongzhen didn't hear the last sentence clearly, so he turned to Wang Dehua, "What did he say? What's so much?"

"The language is too fallacious." Wang Dehua replied with an expression.

"False? Hmph! You are a constitutional minister. How can there be so many fallacies? When it comes to internal ministers, there are so many words. The enemy Boducheng the year before last, who caused it? Civil and military officials are not distrustful, Who is willing to get up and do things with sincerity? It’s just a cover-up, and it’s not allowed to send internal officials to check. It’s a temporary expediency. If it’s not right to participate, what should I send him for? Why should I use internal officials if the external officials are willing to do things?”

Chongzhen's words covered all the ministers inside, and the first assistant Wen Tiren had to kneel down to accept the crime. When he knelt down, all the officials immediately knelt down too.When Zhou Yanru knelt down, his expression was already very ugly. He had just praised Wang Zhidao for his good agility, but he was so courageous and retreated before the battle. What will the people behind him do, and dare to jump out again Is it?Liu Zongzhou let out a sigh there, all the anger of the emperor was transferred to Wang Zhidao, he had better be honest and don't be such a bird, the anger of the emperor just now is really not easy to deal with.

"The ministers and other assistants can set an example. In the yamen of the inner court and the governors and officials outside, they can't devote themselves to cultivating their posts. As a result, there are many troubles in the border and bandits and robbers. Your Majesty has no choice but to send out the ministers to check the frontier preparations. It was originally a worry. The painstaking efforts of diligent governance have been made clear by repeated instructions, and the outer court knows it. It's just that the ministers and others have committed many crimes, so the outer court came to blame. Wang Zhidao said that the ministers could not apply for rescue or dispute, which was also discussed by the outer court. His Majesty Fu Wang Thanks to Yourong, the outer court is more aware of the holiness." Wen Tiren blamed himself for all the faults, as if all the disputes these days were really the fault of his chief assistant.Zhou Yanru listened to it later, feeling suffocated, but he couldn't get angry.

Chongzhen was so angry at Wang Zhidao's words, his face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "The inner ministers blame the auxiliary ministers, so you attack the inner ministers together, but do you rarely impeach the auxiliary ministers? As he spoke, he dug out the memorials that had been prepared in the case earlier, picked up one and began to say, "Wei Jingyuan, the censor of the Shanxi Taoist Examination, said that the former assistant minister Zhou Yanru was given the sable ginseng and gold beads by Sun Yuanhua, so he always The song is for protection." Another copy was found, "Sun Sanjie said to Sun Sanjie in the Ministry of Military Affairs that today's raising treason and sinking the city and distributing money to humiliate the country are not the actions of Yanru. A man who founded his mansion in Dengzhou, with Confucian virtue as his confidant, plundered the Liao soldiers and let the country know that he was causing disasters. Yanru and Xiong Mingyu tried their best to shelter him. Yuanhua really relied on Yanru, so he could not die if he divided himself, but he was restrained Returning to fate, thinking that the bureau is Zhang Ben. His majesty worked hard to give up Mingyu, but Yanru was exempted from crime with clever words. However, as long as Yanru is in power, Haiyu will be restless every day , the root of it is that there is a party behind Yanru!"

"There is a party behind you!" Chongzhen repeated emphatically, and then slammed the bag, "Have you not said enough? Why did you turn over as soon as you touched the ministers? Isn't it because the ministers are not good at cheating in the town! As a Minister, you don't talk about the country's big plans, and you only use Wang Kun, Gao Qiqian and other ministers to blackmail the court. Wang Zhidao borrowed a good name to make it difficult for me to deal with him, what a crafty man!"

Hearing that the emperor said that he was a crafty and sycophant, Wang Zhidao wanted to die, so he asked He Ruchong for help, pointing out that he could say a few words for him, but He Ruchong's face turned pale.Over there, Zhou Yanru's complexion was even uglier than He Ruchong's. His already handsome face was pale, and only the words "There is a party behind him, and a party behind him" are floating in his mind.

Zhou Yanru's heart was heavy, startled and frightened, originally he mobilized his ministers to attack the internal ministers and supervise the army, forcing the emperor to bow his head and punish Wang Kun, he didn't want the situation to change suddenly, but now he got himself trapped.Firstly, I can't fight against the evils of my internal ministers, justify my name, and secondly, I can't save the dangers of foreign ministers. If the emperor uses those memorials to deal with a group of others, I don't have to be the leader of Donglin. Fu Zhiquan didn't even think about it, I'm afraid the party will no longer respect him in the future.Moreover, Chongzhen seems to be already dissatisfied with Donglin, if he attacks the Donglin Party because of this, then he will really be a sinner through the ages.The more Zhou Yanru thought about it, the more afraid he became, but he couldn't defend himself. Chongzhen's sentence "There is a party behind Yanru" was really fatal.

"Your Majesty, I obey your orders. Who dares to threaten people in the court? The imperial edict said that Wang Zhidao was the place, but he didn't dare to talk about the court, and he didn't just talk about the internal officials. He blamed the officials for neglecting their duties. Fu Qi Your Majesty is merciful and forgiving, the people of the outer court are naturally sympathetic, and will never dare to disturb the holy bosom again..."

When things have come to this point, the happiest person must be Wen Tiren. The one who most wishes Zhou Yanru to get out of luck is probably him, Mr. Shoufu. With Yanru in Beijing for a day, he can do a good job as Shoufu, everywhere. Suffering from Yanru's clique, he still had to guard against being plotted by Donglin at all times.Sun Sanjie said it well, as long as Yanru is in power, Haiyu will be restless!

Speaking of which, Wen Tiren is probably the most powerful minister in the past two hundred years of the Kingdom.He is a person who wants to do things. If he wants to do things, he must not tolerate the Donglin party members who only talk nonsense and are not practical. With Lin's dismantling, he, the chief assistant, can really do the country's affairs.But although he was ecstatic in his heart, on the surface he still pleaded with Chongzhen in the name of the chief assistant, and he knew that today's matter would never be good.From the moment the young emperor spoke first, Wen Tiren already knew what the holy will was.Although Donglin is powerful, the world belongs to the emperor after all, not his Donglin party members!

Wen Tiren was interrupted by Chongzhen before he finished speaking, and he spread out three papers that he had prepared in advance, "Lv Huangzhong impeached Sun Yuanhua in Hu Ke's affairs, "Deng Fu Sun Yuanhua is mediocre, pretending to be a soldier and sacrificing his salary to the enemy When entering the west, he never heard of the ability to restrain him, and when he was humiliated by the commander-in-chief of the island, he could not see the strategy of suppressing it, so he was a puppet! Regarding the terrain of the East China Sea, there is a natural moat, and there is only one minister guarding it, so we can rely on it. I'm afraid, it's not easy to use this person who fills up every year!'

Liu Zongxiang, the censor of the Jiangxi Taoist Examination, counted Sun Yuanhua's four crimes, '[-]. Indulging deserters into the sea; Eliminate the strategy of moderation. Xiong Kaiyuan accused Sun Yuanhua of taking money during the official affairs. "

Chongzhen found another excerpt, "When Sun Yuanhua was appointed as the former soldier of Ning, he said in the memorial that "If you want to make the generals of the Kanto, from the ceremony to the presentation, from the banquet to the welcome, please refuse to be empty, and cherish the time." To save money, to work together to achieve practical results.' But he himself gave gifts to the minister, hmph! Who is that minister?"

After three excerpts in a row, all the words were critical, every sentence proved that Zhou Yanru's face was frightened, and all the party members were also panicked. up.

"Zhou Yanru, what do you have to say?" Putting down the notebook, Chongzhen looked coldly at this chief assistant who had the right to be the first assistant in his name, and was a former chief assistant minister of Donglin Tianxia.

At this point, how could Zhou Yanru dare to say anything, he was so frightened that his liver was cramping, if he insisted on defending himself, it would only make the emperor hate him even more. Perhaps, the end of Yuan Chonghuan back then can be seen clearly.

For his own sake, he could only admit defeat, and kowtowed to admit his guilt: "The minister is really guilty, and the righteousness should be accepted. I beg your Majesty to allow the minister to leave Beijing and return home as a criminal."

Hearing that Zhou Yanru was going to invite him out of Beijing to return to his hometown, Chongzhen's face softened a little. After all, Zhou was the chief minister, no matter how serious his faults were, the emperor couldn't really put him in prison. If it is done, Donglin will make a fuss, and he, the emperor, will inevitably be called a foolish emperor by scholars in the world, and he may even be called a fool among the people and the emperor's brother yyng.

Zhou Yanru's departure from Beijing achieved the best effect that Chongzhen wanted. With his departure, the leader of the Donglin group will definitely not be entangled with the matter of the ministers and the army.Once he left, the capital and the court would be much more stable, and many things that could not be done before could be done.Thinking of this, Chongzhen's expression softened even more, and he said: "Get up, sir. Everyone does not cultivate their duties, and Zhang Daqi said under the guise of a false name, no matter what the court's affairs are, what is the intention? It seems that such a character is worthy of the Constitution. Ji, can you set an example for the censors? But since you are going to return to your hometown, I can't keep you. If you double the reward, I will treat you and other important ministers favorably. After returning home, I will send people to visit from time to time. If you have something to do, you can also play it to me, you and I are a king and a minister, I still think of love."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Wang Zhidao, who was still kneeling, and snorted: "Falsely accumulating money, I can't say enough, it should be taken seriously, and Nian Fuchen will protect it more, and I will be relieved of my post to serve the people. At present, there are many policemen in the border area, and the people In times of hardship, I feel peaceful day and night. All officials, big or small, should be relieved of their urgency, promote real positions, and use deputy appointments. They must not interfere with private interests and confuse state affairs. If there is any violation in the future, strict governance will not be forgiven!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Wang Zhidao saluted reluctantly, and when he stood up and exited, he was already dripping with sweat, and when he went out of the hall, his legs trembled and he was loaded down.When the big Han general saw him, he hurried forward to help him up and sent him out of the palace.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yanru, the former chief assistant, returned to his hometown, and the deputy constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was dismissed as a civilian. Talking about things, I dare not complain for Zhou Yanru and Wang Zhidao.The Donglin party even thought that after Zhou Yanru returned to his hometown, the Jingshi party members would inevitably have a new leader, otherwise they would be easily taken advantage of by others, but there would inevitably be some open and secret struggles over who would be the new leader.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but the matter of the minister supervising the army, which was supposed to make a big fuss, seems to have never happened, and yyng is artificially forgotten.

After a lot of debate and arguments, the facts were laid out, which shocked the officials. They no longer dared to make noise, and changed their ways to drive Zhou Yanru away. Chongzhen was very satisfied and happy, and nodded to Wang Dehua. Those who want to announce their withdrawal from the dynasty.Outside the hall, the eunuch on duty of the General Administration Department came in, and rushed over with a Taoist memorial in hand. Wang Dehua hurried over to get it, opened it up, was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and asked the eunuch a few words in a low voice, and after getting the eunuch's approval He hurriedly raised his feet to send it to the hall.

"Long live, it's Gao Qiqian's memorial. Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde have surrendered!" Wang Dehua was so excited that he almost fell down the steps.

Hearing the news, Chongzhen was also shocked, and hurriedly picked up the memorial and read it. After reading it, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Haha, haha"

His highness and all the officials were startled by the emperor's laughter, they didn't know what happened, they looked at the highness inexplicably.

Chongzhen stopped laughing, and very proudly shook the memorial in his hand to the eyes of all the officials, and said triumphantly: "You said that the ministers I sent to supervise the army would make mistakes. The ministers are all capable people, and they only see yellow and white things in their eyes. Can't do anything. But you see, Gao Qiqian just reported that Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde had led their troops to surrender. At this moment, the situation in Denglai has been settled, and we will fight again from now on! Sun Yuanhua, Yu Dacheng, and Liu Yulie were all foreign ministers before, not me. The internal ministers sent, but why did they fail, but Gao Qiqian succeeded? Tell me, is this internal minister supervising the army useful? Is this internal minister inferior to your foreign ministers?"
