"What kind of supervisor is Hou Xun if his name is not correct? Hong Chengchou is the governor of the northwest, Lu Xiangsheng is the prime minister of the southeast, and Zhu Dadian mentions Shandong. Hou Xun is not ashamed to be caught in the middle."

Xue Guoguan suddenly sneered and ridiculed, everyone was taken aback when they heard it, and immediately understood that Xue Guoguan was deliberately making Zhou Yanru look bad, why?You, Zhou Yanru, are the head of Donglin, but Hou Xun is also a veteran of Donglin!To ridicule your Donglin Party members in front of your Donglin Party, Xue Guoguan really takes the opportunity.

Qian Shisheng, He Wuzhen, and Zhang Zhifa were naturally dissatisfied when they heard this.

Zhou Yanru was also annoyed in his heart, but he didn't attack, he ignored Xue Guoguan with a dry smile, and only asked Kong Zhenyun: "Of course Hou Xun won't make trouble for himself, but since Xuanmo submitted the memorial, the imperial court won't give a reply. I'm afraid it won't work. According to Mr. Kong, how should the cabinet be drafted?"

Seeing Zhou Yanru asking for his opinion, Kong Zhenyun was overjoyed, this is a hydrangea thrown by Zhou Yanru himself, if he doesn't pick it up, he will really be punished by God.At that moment, Huang Shijun said slowly with some sour eyes: "Xuanmo is giving us a problem. If the cabinet approves him, I dare to ask the old man, how will the court punish Shi Dayong so as to reassure the hearts of the officials and people in Henan?"

"Huh?" Zhou Yanru narrowed his eyes slightly, savoring the words carefully.

Kong Zhenyun reminded: "Elder Ge, do you still remember the old things about Kong Youde?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru opened his eyes sharply, how could he forget the matter of Kong Youde, if it wasn't for the matter of Denglai back then, how could he have been expelled from the court by Wen Tiren's downfall!

"Master Kong, do you mean that if the court punishes Shi Dayong, this Shi Dayong will raise the flag to rebel like Kong Youde?" He Wuzhen was a little surprised how He Zhenyun would make such a statement.

He Zhenyun didn't answer directly, but said: "I don't dare to say this to death, but the matter of Shi Dayong's repayment of the imperial decree must be clear to all adults. What's the matter with the officials who can even refute the imperial decree?" I can’t do it, but I’m very curious, hum.”

After hearing this, He Wuzhen sighed. He was the one who drafted the cabinet's decree for Shi Dayong to go to Beijing for an audience.Thinking that Shi Dayong, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, dared to detain and deceive him in a disguised form, and thinking about the views of the government and the public on Shi Dayong who supported himself in the past few years, he wanted to say a few words for Shi Dayong, but he couldn't say anything.

"It's true that Shi Dayong has lost his duty as a minister, but if it wasn't for him in the past few years, how could the side troubles have disappeared. Speaking of which, the court owes him a lot, and even now people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate are still holding on to Mrs. Li, the wife of Zu Dashou. The blood book is making a fuss."

Qian Shisheng said something good for Shi Dayong, but he didn't dare to say too much. After all, Shi Dayong, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, supported his troops and respected himself. , and both of them look like feudal towns that are alienated from the imperial court. Although he has repeatedly dared to attack the Eastern captives, after all, what he has done is a taboo of the imperial court, and people have to wonder whether he is loyal or not.If the imperial court really issued a document to dismiss him from his official position, or even arrest him and send him to Beijing for punishment, this Shi Dayong really wanted to rebel like Kong Youde, then every word he said for him at this time would be taken advantage of by those who care about him in the future.I would like to finish my life and return to my hometown for the elderly, but I don't want to be dismissed from office when I am old.I heard that Shi Dayong's subordinates are all surrendered generals from the former rebel army, but if they are not all, Shi Dayong really knows how to do those Kongyoude things.Alas, this matter is still very uninvolved. I didn't see that Wen Tiren had been the chief assistant for four years. Didn't it mean that Shi Dayong didn't exist?

"So, the imperial court really can't reprimand this Shi Dayong?" Zhou Yanru felt a little headache, he didn't expect to encounter such a difficult matter on the first day. In a few days, we must find an excuse to replace him.

Neither Qian Shisheng nor He Wuzhen had any good ideas. Xue Guoguan looked at the joke coldly, so naturally he couldn't be expected to come up with an idea.However, Huang Shijun and Kong Zhenyun eagerly wanted to solve problems for the new chief assistant.But Zhang Zhifa sat there like a clay bodhisattva, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Huang Shijun racked his brains to think about it, but he didn't come up with any good ideas. Seeing that no one spoke, he bit the bullet and suggested, "Why don't you submit it first and see what the Holy Majesty has to say?"

Hearing this, Kong Zhenyun asked back: "Do you want the cabinet to draft?"

"I don't want to draft a ticket, just hand it over."

"No!"

Zhou Yanru categorically denied Huang Shijun's method. This was the first thing he did when he reunited with the cabinet. If he didn't even have a draft proposal, what would the emperor think of him?What do the officials think of him?

"Then what should we do? Can it still be suppressed?" Huang Shijun also felt a headache, and simply said: "Or just plan to reprimand him. It's their business whether the supervisor approves the red or not, and the cabinet is an account. gone."

After hearing this, Kong Zhenyun opened his mouth and said: "If the supervisor of ceremonies approves the red hair, how can we deal with the aftermath if there is a mutiny? 10,000+ bandits in Henan are enough for the court to have a headache. Send out another rebel army. Then everyone is waiting for the emperor to punish him."

"This won't work, that won't work, so what do you say? Does the cabinet really want to pretend that this didn't happen? Do you think that Xuan Mo won't go to the imperial court again?" Being robbed repeatedly by Kong Zhenyun, Huang Shi Jun was also a little anxious.

"Actually, it's useless to reprimand Shi Dayong, but what about his Lushun general? Can the court really control his gang of traitors? Let me ask, if it's Shi Dayong's Lushun general, who is it?" Replacement? Do you still want the Liaodong army to fight against the bandits? If not, how can you let them go back? If they don’t go back, what will the court do?”

Zhang Zhifa, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked a few questions, which made others a little stunned.

"Don't forget what happened to the Qin Wang's teacher from Shaanxi during the "Jisi Change" back then."

Hearing Zhang Zhifa talk about the army of King Qin of Shaanxi back then, everyone fell silent. When the Eastern captives approached Gyeonggi, the imperial court ordered soldiers from all over the country to come to King Qin. Shaanxi also sent thousands of frontier soldiers, but the Eastern captives retreated before they reached Gyeonggi. Well, the imperial court didn’t give these frontier soldiers anything to say, and asked them to go back by themselves without even paying their food and wages. As a result, these frontier soldiers collapsed on their own before halfway through. Except for a small number of people who insisted on returning to the station, most of the others were with the bandits. Mixed together, they became the main force of bandits who killed officials and rebelled.

If what Xuan Mo said is true, Shi Dayong, the commander in chief of Lushun, will definitely be dismissed, but who can take his place, and who can control his group of arrogant soldiers who can fight against the Eastern Captives? At the beginning, the imperial court asked them to suppress the bandits, but before the bandits were suppressed, they would be the leader of the family. Can the soldiers stop making trouble?Should the soldiers who are making trouble let them continue to fight the bandits or let them go back?If they are allowed to go back, will this gang of arrogant soldiers be the same as the frontier soldiers in Shaanxi back then?

Zhou Yanru suddenly asked Qian Shisheng, "Where did the Liaodong Army get their food and salaries?"

Qian Shisheng shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Shi Dayong didn't ask the imperial court for any payment."

"No food?" Zhou Yanru was taken aback: "Could it be that he really looted all the way to Henan?"

"That's not true. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Shi Dayong crossed the sea and conquered the eastern captives. I heard that the harvest was very good..." Qian Shisheng suddenly stopped talking, and the others looked at Zhou Yanru with strange expressions. , even Xue Guoguan's expression was a little inexplicable.

Zhou Yanru knew more or less about Shi Dayong leading the army to attack the Eastern Captives. He also heard about the truth about the great victory in Shenyang in the letters of the disciples in Beijing, but the cabinet presided over by Wen Tiren kept blocking the news. I don't want to talk about it, but the great victory in Shenyang seems to be a heart problem for the emperor, so that rumors spread everywhere, but no one knows what's going on.Looking at the expressions of these people now, it is obvious that there is really something hidden behind this matter, it seems that I have to find someone who understands to ask about what happened in the court in the past few years, Zhou Yanru secretly said.

"Hmph, speaking of which Xuanmo is troublesome. If we let him know and reprimand him, but Shi Dayong can't do anything about it. If we don't allow him, he will have 1 explanations to relieve himself. It's a shame. It’s a good idea.” Huang Shijun cast his fire on Xuan Mo, governor of Henan Province.

"Xuan Mo did nothing wrong in this matter. If Shi Dayong really sent troops to plunder the place, it would be a big mistake for him, as the governor of Henan, to know and not report his rebellion." Zhang Zhifa spoke out for Xuan Mo.

Huang Shijun said bitterly: "He is right, so are we wrong?"

"They are all doing things for the imperial court, who is right and who is wrong." Zhou Yanru waved his hands, stood up with his hands behind his back and walked a few steps, obviously thinking about how to draft this memorial.

Seeing this, Qian Wensheng and the others also began to think secretly.When everyone was thinking hard about how to deal with this matter, Xue Guoguan suddenly walked up to Qian Wensheng, took the memorial in his hand and looked at it carefully, then sneered, and said: "The memorial in Henan is not detailed, I think it is full of How can such rumors be convicted? How did the Liaodong Army plunder, how did they kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, and how did they not advance?...Send it back and ask Henan to investigate Find out and report again." After finishing speaking, he left the house without turning back.

However, everyone in the room saw their eyes light up when they heard it, and Zhou Yanru also nodded slightly, then turned to Kong Zhenyun and said: "Master Xue's words are indeed the truth, and this memorial is vague when I see it, so let Master Kong draw it up." Send the article to Henan and ask them to find out and report."
