Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 87

Although the red-clothed army took down Fengyang City, although there was no news of destroying the imperial palace and imperial mausoleum in the city, the news quickly exploded in the imperial court.

At this time, the threat of the red-clothed thieves is already stronger than that of the Manchus outside the pass, and the peasant army inside the pass is like taking strong medicine, making chaos everywhere, and occasionally turning their guns to deal with the officers and soldiers. It is really difficult to deal with. Very much, there is also a gradual resurgence trend.

But in general, the Red Army has become the number one threat to the Ming Dynasty. Before this problem is dealt with, the court sergeants will be united. Whoever let the Red Army go to the south of the Yangtze River, where the scholar-bureaucrat group is the most powerful Don't let him destroy the place.

In the Huangji Palace, Zhang Yan was sitting behind the bead curtain. The people in the palace could not see what kind of expression she had at this time, but some malicious people speculated that she was probably already smiling in her heart at this time!No one in the court can stop her from controlling everything like a commanding arm.

A series of subsequent actions by Zhang Yan also strengthened their thinking. Li Biao, a cabinet scholar, and Zhang Fengyi, a minister of the Ministry of War, wrote letters to return home. In history, Zhang Fengyi committed suicide by taking poison in fear of crime because of the destruction of Fengyang ancestral mausoleum. But now that he has fallen to this point, it can be regarded as saving his life, but Wan Jie has not been able to save it since then.

The two pillars of the court and the central government were taken away, and everyone in the Donglin Party was terrified. This time, it was considered a disastrous first, so they had to lie dormant for a while, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Zhang Yan has no confidants in the court, and if she wants to control the government, she naturally has to balance the rights of the lower ones. She chose two obedient people and helped them up.

And in the cabinet, there is a Wen Tiren who does not do anything but is dedicated to people. She has no intention of doing anything to Wen Tiren. With this knife hanging over the head of the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party will naturally have a lot of taboos, and she can Greater control over power is naturally achieved in one fell swoop.

At this time, after discussing some trivial matters in the palace, the issue of the red army was immediately put on the table. At this time, the peasant army in the northwest was making a fuss. The progress made the court anxious for a while, but they couldn't find out where the problem was.

But now the main problem is not the peasant army, but the red army. The red army is going to shake the foundation of Ming Dynasty!It has already occupied the dragon veins of Ming Dynasty. Didn't Emperor Taizu start from Fengyang and then sweep the south?The most important thing is that although there are more gentry in the south, they can collect taxes, and the poor areas in the northwest are lucky if they don't pay their annual income to go in for disaster relief.

The skinny Wen Tingren didn't dare to recharge his energy as before. He had witnessed the madness of this woman with his own eyes. She closed the city gate and acted like she wanted to fight with others until the end. He still clearly remembered that Right here, this woman's questioning made him sweat profusely, speechless.

Didn't the ones who stopped the dynasty come back as usual?They don't want to do it, there are too many people below who want to be officials, and what's more, she has completely torn her face. As long as he sends someone to urge him, and dares to close the door and say that he is sick and can't go to court, he will be like a wolf and a tiger. The soldiers of the Twelve Regiment Battalion unceremoniously broke down the door to arrest people, threw them directly into the prison, and listed his past crimes one by one.

You must know that Jin Yiwei is terrifying. Although Chongzhen has a bit of a violent temper, he is playing games within the rules anyway, and he has almost abolished Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, but now this woman has such a terrifying power. These days, which official doesn't have any black things in his hands, and even the honest officials in the eyes of the common people are black when they take off their pants.

I'm afraid that only a woman can make such a way of tearing up your face and doing it with you. However, the city gates are closed and only allowed to enter but not to exit. They have no choice but to compromise temporarily in the end.

Now that the Red Clothes Army came out with the news that Fengyang City had been taken down, such a dark cloud shrouded the heads of the crowd, and Zhang Yan immediately questioned the crimes, and asked Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Biao, a scholar of the cabinet, to retire and return to their hometowns , One move is used, the yin is extremely harmful, but it is extremely savage, and it is completely a lose-lose situation.

This is the so-called politics, just want to defeat the opponent, not what kind of damage it will cause, and Zhu Gan is extremely disgusted, he is not confident that he can play politics well, so he just plays well with guns My son, but what I didn't expect was that Zhang Yan seemed to have a very high talent for this knowledge.

Wen Tiren said in a calm voice, neither humble nor overbearing: "A few days ago, Ma Junwei, the commander of Xuzhou Guards, gave a memorial, mentioning that there was a strange man with the surname Li in Xuzhou City, and about sending troops to rescue Fengyang..."

Zhang Yan, who was sitting behind the bead curtain, looked at Wen Tiren with some surprise. This old guy has abilities, but he is keen on stabbing people and stabilizing his position. He didn't expect to come up with ideas now. Could it be that he was Cleaned up once, have you learned how to behave?

Then Zhang Yan shook her head, put aside this unrealistic idea, and said quickly: "Wen Shoufu is getting old too! Come here, don't bring a brocade stool to Shoufu."

Wen Tiren's buttocks were only halfway down on the brocade stool, looking extremely panicked, he quickly thanked him, but his lowered eyes were thinking about something.

Zhang Yanxiu frowned slightly, her face was so beautiful that it made people feel ashamed, and she said softly: "Well, the Ai family will follow what the chief assistant said, the [-]th Regiment Battalion has been training for a long time, and it is ready to go to battle. However, there is no time to delay the matter of eradicating the bandits in red, so Cao Wenzhao was ordered to lead the army to go south. He also informed Hong Chengchou that the Ai family would give him another three months, and if he fails to make meritorious service, he will never come back."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the crowd to object, he stood up, and the eunuch under his command immediately ordered, and sang loudly: "Retire!"

Everyone was left looking at each other in blank dismay, and there are still many details that have not been clarified!However, everyone looked at Wen Tiren sitting on the Jindun in surprise. You must know that the [-]th Regiment Battalion is under Zhang Yan's control, and it is the basis for her to control the government. To Wen Tiren's embarrassing joke.

But it was obviously Wen Tiren who saw their jokes, and he really deserved to be an old fox, he was very good at guessing what he wanted!The crowd couldn't understand Empress Yi'an anymore, she was no different from a vixen, true or false, false or true, they didn't know what they would face in the next moment.

Everyone wanted to go forward and ask about the Twelfth Regiment Battalion, but seeing Wen Tiren's appearance as an old monk, he seemed to have fallen asleep, so they didn't want to disturb them, after all, Wen Tiren was the chief assistant, and many The Donglin Party had just lost a leader in the DPRK and Central Committee. When they were at a loss, how could they dare to touch the brow of this old opponent.

After everyone had left, Wen Tiren opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, there was no trace of mist, his body was straight, and he strode out of the Huangji Hall. In this last scene, it was It's for Empress Yi'an, wise people need to talk too much.

Sure enough, not long after, an eunuch reported to Zhang Yan the scene of Wen Tiren leaving the Huangji Palace in high spirits. Zhang Yan held up her chin and thought quietly. She is only 28 now, and she is the most beautiful age in her life. After marrying her husband, she didn't leave any support for herself. Now the conspiracy is everywhere, but the haze is gone. She likes the feeling of controlling the civil and military affairs of the court in the palm of her hand. She is like a chess player. The world is chess, not lonely.

Her temperament has gradually become brighter, and she has returned to her innocence, like an innocent girl. Of course, she has faded away, and her skin is as tender as a baby. With a light touch, water seems to be leaking from her white skin. At this time, she is like a white girl. A quiet and noble peony among flowers.

I saw her vermilion lips parted slightly, her breath like orchid, and her faint voice was like catkins flying in the wind: "This world is going to be smashed to pieces, Zhu Youjian, you are too playful, why run away?" Where did you go?"

"This group of damned people are too greedy, so I'll whet your appetite. Well! The thief in red seems to be really powerful... Li Mingyang, this guy is probably very interesting. Why did he appear suddenly? There may be some Some accidents! Hey, it would be great if I could personally lead the army to fight. The peasant army in the northwest, with the cooperation of Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu, can they be contained after all! If they go out of Henan, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress them then!"

The extremely noble queen, remembering Yin's tricks at this time, her big watery eyes kept blinking, and her long eyelashes kept trembling. The way to clean up the officials in the court.

But at this time, she is also the purest and most beautiful.
