Yang Sichang took a step closer and whispered: "They are also interested in peace talks. The army that came out has not moved in Guangning and is still waiting for our news."
Chongzhen tightened his brows, his eyes flickered for a while, and said: "The Northwest Rebellion threatens my Daming Shrine, and the building of prisoners is my confidant trouble. Both must be eradicated!"
Yang Sichang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, peace talks with the prisoners is just a stopgap measure. If you delay for a year, the ministers will sway the army and expedite the North to Ping Liao!"
Chongzhen smiled and nodded, and said, "Good, good! There is a Qing, I feel at ease."
Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen’s expression, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Zhengyun has acted rather domineering in the Ministry of War. The minister is a little worried about the matter."
Chongzhen's face suddenly became cold and angry, and said, "Really?"
Li Zhong outside the door just listened, his expression changed slightly, he hurriedly came in with a melodrama, deliberately made some noise, and stood cautiously at the door.
Chongzhen glanced, eyebrows irritated, and said, "What's the matter again?"
Li Zhong trot forward and said: "Long live Lord, at this time the courtiers have written a plea, pleading that they are not from the Wen party."
Chongzhen sneered with an iron expression, and said: "Excuse me? I don't think I will confess!"
Yang Sichang didn't speak, but stood bent.
High-level leaders all know that Wen Tiren's departure is inevitable. It is nothing but Wen Tiren who wants to struggle and refuses to let go.
Li Zhong did not speak, and placed the memorial on the desk of Chongzhen, glanced at Yang Sichang calmly, and said in a low voice, "Long live Lord, this is the memorial of Dongjiang Town."
Chongzhen listened, and quickly reached out to grab it, and opened it eagerly.
Before long, he handed it to Yang Sichang, frowned and said, "Look at it."
Yang Sichang took it and opened it, his eyes suddenly alert, shining sharply.
This is the memorandum of Dongjiang Town Chief Soldier He Kegang. It is said that the Jianluo seems to have changed and are gathering. The target may be Dongjiang Town and North Korea.
Yang Sichang stared at the memorial for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, this should be Jianglu deliberately exerting pressure on us, but it must be prevented. The three places of Liaodong, Tianjin Wei, and Shandong must be strictly watched and prepared. main idea!"
Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang for a while, and suddenly said: "In this way, transfer Zhou Zheng as the governor of Ji Liao, and guard against the construction of the captives! Since Zhou Zhengyun joined the army, he has been fighting with the captives and has never failed, whether it is under the capital, Liaodong or Dongjiang Town. , All suffered heavy losses to Jianli, and now I can’t find someone more suitable to go to Liaodong. He is not suitable for the Ministry of War, how does Aiqing feel?"
Yang Sichang looked at Chongzhen and realized that no matter how much Chongzhen did not like Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zhengzheng was really a talent. In dealing with Jianlu and even Ping Liao, Chongzhen believed in Zhou Zheng more than Yang Sichang believed in him!
Yang Sichang didn't want Zhou Zheng to leave. Such a threatening person would naturally have to look under his nose before he was relieved. He pretended to think for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is still solvable. The minister will soon go out of Beijing to suppress bandits. Principal, Zhou Zhengyun cannot leave for the time being."
Chongzhen thought about it, Yang Sichang was still serving as Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Yang Sichang was about to leave Beijing, and Chen Xinjia, the left servant, was already in the northwest. If Zhou Zheng, the right servant, left, the Ministry of War would be empty.
"Alright." Chongzhen smiled and nodded.
Li Zhong stood aside, observing Yang Sichang calmly.
Li Zhong is an old man next to Chongzhen. He followed him from the hidden residence to the Palace of the Qing Dynasty. In the past ten years, I have seen how many chief assistants, cabinet ministers, and six Shangshu, but this one is very different and full of people. The sense of oppression, the sharp light in those eyes is daunting.
At this moment, Wang Chengen came in from outside, glanced at a few people, came to Chongzhen's side, and whispered a few words.
The corners of Chongzhen's face were suddenly straightened, his eyes shot killing intent, and he said in a cold voice: "I wanted the friendship between monarchs and ministers, not too ugly. I never thought you would dare to do so! I passed the decree, dismiss Wen Tiren, and limit him to leave within three days In Beijing, the Ministry of Penalty and Punishment has found out the Wen's gangsters. If it is serious, it will be slashed, exiled, or taken away from office!
Wang Chengen bowed as usual: "The slave and maid obeyed the order."
He knew that this would be the result, because he had just reported to Chongzhen that Wen Tiren was in the Superintendent of Lis just now, and he openly bribed the inner superintendent in exchange for the emperor's heart!
Chongzhen is absolutely incompatible with bribing the internal supervisor!
Yang Sichang had a panoramic view of everything, his expression motionless, only his eyes lightly swept across Wang Chengen's face.
This person is the great eunuch in the palace, and no one can move his position. A word by the emperor's side is worth a thousand words from a courtier!
Soon, the edict of Qianqing Palace came down.
Wen Tiren never expected that Chongzhen had no consolation, and the warmth drama of'three ups and three rejections' did not begin, and he was dismissed directly!
The Criminal Ministry moved faster, received the order, and did not know where it got the memorials for the impeachment of the'Wen Party', which listed as many as 100 officials and officials.
The Xing Department moved so fast that he couldn't blink his eyes, and seemed to be worried about something. Wen Tiren started arresting people before he left Beijing.
Although Zhou Zheng was sitting in the Ministry of War, the news was well informed.
Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi, Zhang Heyi and others came and went in a hurry, reporting various situations.
Zhang Heyi said happily: "My lord, we have eliminated more than 20 roadblocks in one fell swoop. Things will definitely go smoother in the future."
Yao Tong said: "My lord, the villain heard that Wen Shoufu didn't pack his things. He came out of the palace and left Beijing in a hurry after receiving the order. He didn't even clean up..."
Ding Qi smiled and said, "Wen Shoufu is afraid to wish to fly out. In a moment, the emperor may change his mind and go to prison."
There was a lot of laughter in Zhou Zheng's class room. Eliminating the obstacles in the court, their plan could be implemented relatively smoothly.
Compared with the power struggle in the court, Zhou Zheng and the people around him are eager for the innovation of the three places in Liaodong. If these three places do well, it will definitely be a great cause, and the subsequent impact cannot be estimated. It is their foundation. !
Outside Zhou Zheng's class room, there was only two feet away, and everyone walked around.
Yang Sichang has been very prestigious lately. The governors and governors of various places have met a lot, and he is in the cabinet. He is a majestic figure in the court and the opposition. In contrast, Zhou Zheng, the right minister, is nothing.
In July, the imperial court was even more busy. At the most critical moment of the'ten-faced netting', the cabinet, the six ministries, were all around.
With Chongzhen’s trust, Yang Sichang’s abilities have been fully displayed. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are in Sichuan and defeated one after another in northern Shaanxi. The other gangsters have also retreated one after another, and the territory under their control has shrunk sharply. The power of'primary' appeared, and the court was naturally overjoyed and supported Yang Sichang more and more.
Yang Sichang made great efforts in the northwest, and the imperial court, especially the Ministry of War, gradually took over power, rapidly compressing Zhou Zheng’s power, and even began to intervene in the affairs of Liaodong, Shandong, and Tianjin Wei. Without giving Zhou Zheng a word, he would adjust Cao Bianjiao. The five thousand cavalrymen entered Shanxi.
On July 12 of the tenth year of Chongzhen, suddenly there was a vacancy for the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette, and Zhou Zheng, the assistant minister of the household department, was recommended for transfer.
On July 13, Yang Sichang resigned from his post on the grounds that the cabinet minister could not concurrently serve as the Minister of War, and recommended Zhou Zheng to take over.
On July 14, Shaoqing of Dali Temple submitted a letter to recommend Zhou Zheng to join the cabinet on the grounds that the cabinet minister was vacant.
For a time, in the busy court, the three words'Zhou Zhengyun' were so dazzling that everyone in the court and the public heard and saw them. (End of this chapter)
