"Long live, this is tonight."
Li Zhong held a plate of memorabilia and handed it to Chongzhen's desk.
Chongzhen became more and more diligent. Even if the courtiers were off work, he still had to deal with the two-hour memorial. This was a rigid rule he gave him. In fact, he often stayed all night long, and the harem did not go to several times.
Chongzhen didn't raise his head, and he hummed in his nose.
Li Zhong looked at it, really distressed, and whispered: "Long live, it's late at night, if you don't take a break, let's review it tomorrow."
Chongzhen may have heard the smell of concern, put down the pen, sighed, picked up the tea cup beside him, glanced at the piles of memorial books, and said, "What are these?"
Li Zhong hurriedly said: "It's some emergency reports in the Northwest. Some are disasters, some are bandits, some are applying for special care, and some are about Yuanfu and Qian Ge."
"Qian Xiangkun?"
Chongzhen frowned and said, "Take it out."
Chongzhen was very concerned about the movements of courtiers, especially the courtiers. Now Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have been suppressed by him. Without ears and eyes, they rely on these memorials to understand their movements.
Li Zhong quickly found out, handed it to Chongzhen, carefully looked at Chongzhen's face, and said: "Long live Lord, the outside comment on Qian Ge is not very good."
Chongzhen picked up the memorial book, opened it, and said casually: "Why is it not good?"
Li Zhong stared at Chongzhen's face, and said more cautiously: "It's all spreading, saying that it is the old Qian Ge coveting the position of the first assistant, and making small movements frequently."
Chongzhen saw that Li Zhong was talking about this, as if he was a little disappointed and said: "If the villain says that, if the cabinet ministers are like this, wouldn't they want the world to laugh?"
"Long live the Lord said that." Li Zhong accompanied him carefully and quietly stepped back, keeping his eyes fixed on Chongzhen's face.
Chongzhen looked at the memorial and frowned soon.
This is a memorial for impeaching Zhou Yanru and Qian Xiangkun. Qian Xiangkun’s impeachment is a brief introduction. All the long-form impeachment is Zhou Yanru, saying that he formed a party for private interests, and the'Western Party' ran across the country, covering up the road, and selling off officials. Corruption and depravity.
The'Western Party', that is, the'Jin Party', the Shanxi Party.
In fact, Zhou Yanru was not from Shanxi, but from Jiangnan.
Chongzhen put aside and picked up the next one, his brows furrowed deeper.
This is about Zhou Yanru who presided over the Jiangnan Gongyuan Examination in the second year of the Apocalypse, accusing him of practicing favoritism, accepting bribes, and leaking questions to his nephews. It is justified and well-founded, and even cited multiple personal testimonies.
Chongzhen's face was a little ugly, and he continued to read the next book.
This book belongs to Qian Xiangkun. He impeached Wang Yongguang, the official secretary, accusing Wang Yongguang and Zhou Yanru of "friendship between cats and dogs, friendship between snakes and rats", and cultivated private individuals, the party fell in line with differences, and could not tolerate others, and demanded Chongzhen. Dismiss Wang Yongguang.
Chongzhen looked at this memorial with a green face.
What he hates most is courtiers forming parties. These memorials are clearly that someone is behind the scenes to force Zhou Yanru to step down!
"Long live, please see the first assistant." An inner prison stood outside the door and said to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen put away the memo, his expression returned to indifference, and said, "Yes."
The inner supervisor turned around and disappeared outside the black painted door. It didn't take long for Zhou Yanru to arrive.
Zhou Yanru came in, arched his waist, his face was tired, his eyes sunken, he stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "Chen..."
Before he finished speaking, Chongzhen saw his fatigue and said, "Come here, give Zhou Aiqing a stool."
Zhou Yanru hurriedly said: "The minister dare not..."
Chongzhen smiled and said, "Sit down. Why are you here to see me so late?"
Zhou Yanru sat down somewhat cautiously and said: "Your Majesty, it is about the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. The minister recommended Hong Chengchou to serve as the governor. The cabinet has not been decided for a long time, and the northwestern trend cannot be delayed. The minister asks the emperor to act arbitrarily."
This is also something that Chongzhen has been paying attention to. He listened for a while and said: "Yang He is incompetent, let the bandits sit in the big place, and hand them over to the Tribunal for trial, and the trial will be concluded as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yanru responded, still looking at Chongzhen.
Yang He, the governor, there is nothing wrong with the method and the means. The crux of the problem is that the court has no money and food, so he is doomed to fail, then he will be back.
Chongzhen thought for a while, and said: "There are many governors and governors in the northwest, and only one Hong Chengchou is decent. Just him."
In Shaanxi's official army suppressing the civil unrest, the official army had many defeats, especially some big men who were even more unbearable, but Hong Chengchou repeatedly defeated the main bandits, even captured and killed the bandit leader, very dazzling, earned a lot of face for the court.
Hearing Chongzhen's words, Zhou Yanru's eyes flashed with a smile, then stood up, took out a memo from his arms, and handed it to Chongzhen, saying: "Your Majesty, Sichuan Commander Qin Liangyu has conquered Chengdu, defeated the troubled chieftain, and recovered Chengdu. , Ask the court to send staff to help."
Chongzhen stretched out his hand to take it, his face finally looked good, and smiled as he looked at it, and said, "Good, good, the court will send someone to caress, give Qin Liangyu and others a reward, and give it a big reward!"
"Yes." Zhou Yanru also said with a smile: "If Sichuan can be stabilized, then the chaos in Shaanxi can be settled, and the Northwest will be worry-free."
Chongzhen thought the same way. There were more bandits and no matter how many bandits there were. Northwest Ruoding also went to Chongzhen for a big heart disease.
Chongzhen put down the melodrama, looked up and saw that there was another melodrama in Zhou Yanru's arms with half an angle, and curiously asked, "What else is Zhou Aiqing?"
Zhou Yanru lowered his head to look, and quickly put it back, hesitantly concealed: "Your Majesty, there are some things I can't finish, and the minister intends to take them back to see."
Chongzhen nodded approvingly, and said: "Why the courtier can have half of Zhou Aiqing's heart, why bother me so much, and love Qing so hard. Take it out, and I will look at it with Aiqing."
Zhou Yanru said, "Your Majesty will not be troubled for a few trivial matters. The minister will go back and read it, and then play your Majesty."
Chongzhen smiled and said, "Take it out. I will discuss it with Aiqing. Today's affairs are over today."
Zhou Yanru still hesitated, took it out slowly, and handed it to the past.
Chongzhen opened with a smile, and his face turned ugly after a while.
These are the memorials of impeaching Qian Xiangkun, and the content seems to be a copy of the impeachment of Zhou Yanru just now, with a different name!
Zhou Yanru looked at Chongzhen with a bad expression, and anxiously explained: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is the first to be kind. Only with the kindness of the cabinet can you govern smoothly. Moreover, without verification, these may be the words of the officials and should not be taken seriously. ."
Chongzhen listened to Zhou Yanru's words, looked up at him, sighed lightly, and said, "Zhou Aiqing, you are magnanimous, but others are not necessarily."
There was a trace of doubt on Zhou Yanru's tired face, as if waiting for Chongzhen to continue speaking.
Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, Zhou Aiqing should go back and rest early."
Zhou Yanru still looked puzzled, so he hesitated to raise his hand and said, "The minister retire."
Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru's back, his face was very ugly, and he was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Li Zhong."
Li Zhong had been standing not far away, listening to their conversation, and knew that this was the last step Zhou Zheng had arranged. He contemplated Chongzhen's thoughts at the moment, and listened to Chongzhen calling him. He was startled and walked over quickly. : "Long live the Lord."
The lights flickered, shining on Chongzhen's iron-green face, and he said indifferently: "Tomorrow, you go to see Qian Xiangkun and order him to be an official."
Li Zhong's heart was relaxed and heavy, and everything was calculated by Zhou Zheng.
Qian Xiangkun is about to pay official duties.
"Yes." Li Zhong greeted.
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he waved his hand and continued to immerse himself in government affairs.
Li Zhong stepped back and stood not far away, still watching his heart with his ears, nose and nose, as if everything had nothing to do with him and stayed out of the matter.
As soon as Zhou Yanru left the gate of the inner court, an inner jailer said a few words in his ear.
Zhou Yanru's face was full of smiles, and he didn't see the fatigue just now, and his eyes burned and whispered to himself: "You want to be my position, have you asked me?" (End of this chapter)
