With an order from Lu Xiangsheng, an army of 60,000 officers attacked the city in the dark.
Siege of the city in the dark is a taboo for military strategists, but Lu Xiangsheng did just that.
The city of Tongguan was suddenly shocked, and he was extremely unexpected. While resisting, he reported upward.
Only then did they discover that the top one, Gao Yigong, Li Guo and others were not there!
They escaped first!
There was a great chaos in Tongguan, and it was quickly defeated.
Lu Xiangsheng's army mostly pretended to attack, and when he saw the opportunity, it became a real attack. Before dawn, Lu Xiangsheng ascended to Tongguan City!
This move greatly invigorated the officers and the army, and even boosted the morale of the army than regaining the capital.
When Tongguan is in hand, the northwest is in sight!
Even though there is heavy rain blocking the road, the officers and soldiers are still quickly regaining lost ground, compressing Li Zicheng's space for activities.
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng entered Tongguan, he set about redeploying various people and arranging for Li Zicheng and other bandits.
Before Lu Xiangsheng’s report to the Czech Republic had arrived in the capital, the capital was already full of excitement.
The first is about the'rebellion case', where the court ministers, six Shangshu, and the ministers involved have been sentenced to rumours.
These are Li Zicheng's "heritors" who came to Beijing. They surrendered beforehand, opened the gates, and knelt down to meet the heroes of the Dashun Dynasty after opening the door. There were hundreds of people, large and small.
As soon as this news came out, there was a lot of rumors in the capital, not to mention those cabinet ministers, magisters, ministers, and complicated networks. The pamphlet Jinyan, the former magister of the Ministry of War, panicked when it moved.
In the imperial court, there are many people who want to or have written a list for Li Zicheng, or even have entered the Dashun dynasty and have hidden themselves. Most of these people's "middlemen" are Zhang Jinyan, the first contributor to the Dashun dynasty. .
Zhang Jinyan moved, how could these people be stable.
As a result, the impeachment of the heads of the three law divisions, Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi, and Li Hengbing's memorials flooded into the cabinet even more densely than Snowflakes.
Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others stormed into the cabinet desperately like a headless fly.
Zhou Yanru had too many headaches now, and Sun Chuanting and others sent more and more things, which made him very annoying. He didn't want to agree to any of these things, but he couldn't refuse directly.
The'Prime Minister's Compound' outside the Daming Gate has begun manual work, and news of the'fixing the law' is slowly leaking out.
Zhou Yanru was looking at the official document sent by Sun Chuanting regarding the revision proposal and direction of the'patriarchal law'. Looking at the content, he was half happy and half worried, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Fan Wenjing came in from outside and whispered: "Yuanfu, Zhang Shangshu, Chen Shangshu and others are here."
Zhou Yanru knew what was going on outside, read the impeachment notes, and also knew about Zhang Sizhi's "surrender table". He looked even more bored and said, "Tell them, don't worry, I'm still there."
Fan Wenjing was startled and said, "Yuanfu, can't you see it?"
Zhou Yanru didn't look up, and said, "Those are the impeachment's three law divisions. They haven't reached them yet. Tell them, give me peace of mind and don't do anything else."
Fan Wenjing looked at Zhou Yanru and suddenly realized, "Yes."
Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others were not far away. The two were nervous and staring nervously. Seeing Fan Wenjing coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did Yuan Fu say?"
Fan Wenjing glanced around, as if seeing a lot of eyes, and whispered: "Yuan Fu said, the impeachment is the Sanfa Division, not you, don't worry."
Chen Yan wanted to resign and escape the vortex of the court, but things happened one after another, which made it difficult for him to get out. Seeing a trouble come again, he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Although the impeachment is the Three Laws Division, but it's the impeachment. Go with those people. Once those people are really convicted, they will have no scruples, and death will drag us!"
These are Zhou Yanru's most confidantes, who know exactly about the'surrender', and there is no need to hide them. At the same time, Zhang Jinyan and others were really sentenced to not amnesty for the'inverse crime', and the conditions for concealing Zhang Sizhi and others would be lost.
Fan Wenjing saw that Chen Yan could no longer be calm as usual, so he had to say: "Two adults, don't worry, this matter is not the supervisor, as long as the two adults above do not speak, no one can defeat you."
Chen Yan and Zhang Sizhi were dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.
The current Ming court is indeed the world of the'two weeks', all power is in their hands, but'people are terrible', once the officials move, even the'two weeks' have to be scrupulous
Fan Wenjing looked at the expressions of the two and sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "The most important thing for Zheng Xibo in the court is the Three Law Division. They will never be allowed to have an accident. As long as they are okay, we will be okay."
Zhang Sizhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yes, Zheng Xibo will definitely not let his people go wrong. With him in front, we will be safe."
Chen Yan was also relieved, but still a little unwilling. Even if Zhou Zheng blocked them, they would be fine, but he still wanted to resign as soon as possible and leave Beijing.
Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others were in a panic and calmed down. Sun Chuanting, Gao Hongtu and others were outside the Daming Gate, packing up their things while discussing these impeachments.
The planning of Daming Gate has been completed and construction is underway. Various yamen are being evacuated one after another in search of temporary locations.
Sun Chuanting and Gao Hongtu stood not far away, watching the workers come and go, chatting casually.
Gao Hongtu looked at these craftsmen and said, "I was drinking in the adults’ mansion yesterday and talked a lot. It is these craftsmen, the adults have also said, I have nearly a million craftsmen, and they can’t do other things for a lifetime. , The generations are the masters of craftsmanship, the imprisonment is too harsh, they should be released and given them freedom and a better future..."
Sun Chuanting has followed Zhou Zheng for many years and said: "It is true. With the Ministry of Household Registration, we can do more, and we must change the rules of restriction, discrimination, and imprisonment."
Gao Hongtu hugged his hands, looked at the rainy weather, and said: "The adults are indeed far-sighted. The source of these things is the ancestral system. If the ancestral law is not cultivated, we will be restrained. If the ancestral law is changed, we can promote the implementation... "
Sun Chuanting thought about the matter of'cultivating the law', glanced at the other four places, and whispered: "I already have some thoughts on Daming Law. Later, let's get together and make a general outline. Then let the following people's discussion and polish ,perfect."
Gao Hongtu leaned his head and said in a low voice, "My lord was a bit drunk yesterday and said a lot of things in his heart. We have to go faster, otherwise it's too late.
Sun Chuanting thought about the phrase'it's too late'. Just about to speak, Ma Shiying hurried over, wiped the hot sweat on his head, and said: "Trouble is coming, more and more people are impeaching us, not just talking about our abuse. Quan, take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, and some people say that we violated the ancestral system and treated the clan to be too cruel."
Gao Hongtu is very sensitive to these recently, and immediately said: "They want to prevent us from practicing!"
Ma Shiying nodded and said solemnly: "It should have this purpose, but it is more than that. There are too many people held by the three divisions, and they are all high-ranking. The relationship network of each is huge and unpredictable, let alone so many."
Gao Hongtu looked obscure, and said solemnly: "So many people and so many things are mixed together, it's really complicated."
Sun Chuanting didn't change his expression, and said, "Let him make the waves, we are determined to move forward and not be affected by these things. They impeach them, we do ours. If they really block our way, the three law divisions don't have to be polite. ."
Ma Shiying looked at Sun Chuanting, her face moved, and said, "Can you shoot them?"
Sun Chuanting smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Don't worry, the fire is not enough, I guess, the adults are also waiting."
Gao Hongtu looked at Sun Chuanting’s expression and suddenly said, “Then let’s let it burn better! I’ll let people talk about it later when I go back, saying that the Ministry of Household is going to cancel the artisanship, not just artisanship, salt, tea , Border military households, as well as low-level registration, business registration, etc., all must be cancelled!
Scholars, farmers, commerce and industry, this is the most important ruling order in feudal society. If it is cancelled and the boundaries are lost, the most unhappy is the top-the'shi', that is, the scholar-official class.
Ma Shiying listened and said with a vicious expression: "Then I'm not welcome, I'll ask the court to cancel the six subjects!"
Sun Chuanting, Gao Hongtu immediately looked at him, his expression was almost the same-surprised.
The six disciplines are the ancestral system, and the most important means to govern the six departments. At the same time, the six disciplines are also the'technological path', the most important part of the prefects, the'inferior power', they can even deny the imperial edict!
If someone proposes to revoke the six subjects, the ruling and the opposition will definitely fry the pot! (End of this chapter)
