Chapter 275 Chongzhen
Impeachment of Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan? Chongzhen frowned slightly and continued to read. Unexpectedly, the next content was more and more beyond Chongzhen's expectations. Until the end, when Nanyang City was destroyed and the king of Tang Dynasty did not know what happened, Chongzhen completely
Furious, he suddenly used all his strength to throw the memorial to the ground, as if the ground was Xuan Mo who dared to deceive him.
"Trash, incompetent." Chongzhen's roar echoed in the Nodanan Pavilion. Wang Chengen on the side was startled. The other serving eunuchs and maids were already frightened to the ground and their bodies were trembling. Wang Chengen was just about to step forward.
But Chongzhen, who was originally angry, picked up the memorial again and continued reading.
"Xuanmo, the governor of Henan, not only did not care about His Majesty's favor, but ordered everyone not to discuss the matter. In addition, Xuanmo sent people deep into Nanyang to contact the rebels after the city was destroyed. His intentions were unknown, and he himself was
Then he led the Henan army to the south in a hurry and stationed in Ye County. He did not march into Nanyang to suppress the bandits, nor did he retreat to defend himself. It was as if he was waiting to meet the bandits. I don’t know what happened..."
After reading this, Chongzhen felt chills all over his body. "He did not march into Nanyang to suppress the bandits, nor did he withdraw his troops to defend. Instead, he waited to meet the bandits." Chongzhen gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word from his teeth. What exactly did Xuanmo do?
What do you want to do? He is so anxious to meet with the rebels. Could it be that he also wants to rebel?
Chongzhen could not imagine how serious an impact it would have on the entire court and the Ming Dynasty if a dignified governor of Henan, a second-rank official in the imperial court, and a high-ranking official in the country's frontiers took the lead in rebellion.
At that time, the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian was in power, but Chongzhen was not afraid; when the rebellion was raging in the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan, Chongzhen was not afraid; outside the pass, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties broke through the border several times and besieged the capital, but Chongzhen was still not afraid.
Afraid. But this time Chongzhen was really afraid. These civil servants were the pillars of the imperial court and the people of the world. If they changed their minds, the Ming Dynasty that they were supporting would really become a grasshopper after the autumn.
"Cao Huachun, where is Cao Huachun?" Chongzhen shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Slave, go call him now." Wang Chengen hurriedly left the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace. In less than a quarter of an hour, he took Cao Huachun almost jogging all the way to the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, my servant is here." Cao Huachun knelt down and kowtowed.
"Go, send someone to catch this traitor and put him in jail and face death." Chongzhen pointed at the memorial and gritted his teeth and said, "It was useless for me to think that this person can do things well. Who would have expected that this person would be so ambitious."
"Yes, I will send someone to arrest this person right now." Cao Huachun is the admiral of Dongchang, and it is their duty to arrest people and accuse them of crimes. Although starting from the first year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen was deceived by civil servants and was almost abolished.
He overcame the clutches of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, took back the guard eunuchs sent out, and handed over power to civil servants in various places.
But then it happened that Qian Longxi, the cabinet scholar, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, conspired to kill the border commander first and then report it. However, Chongzhen, as the emperor, was completely unaware of it. After calming down and thinking about it, Chongzhen started to react again.
Trust these eunuchs. However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, who have been domesticated, no longer have the same majesty as before. But besides them, who else can Chongzhen use in this matter?
After Cao Huachun received the order, he immediately stood up and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wang Chengen who was standing beside him as soon as he took two steps.
Wang Chengen mustered up his courage and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Xuanmo is still an important minister of the imperial court. He may not have any inside information at this time. How can he be convicted based on just a memorial?" Wang Chengen was truly loyal to Chongzhen. His
Everything was for Chongzhen's consideration. He felt that Xuanmo was not only a civil official, but also an important minister. If such an important minister was taken down and sentenced to death based on just a memorial, wouldn't everyone in the court, both civil and military, be in danger? It would be detrimental to the overall situation.
However, sometimes one's sincerity is a hindrance to others. For example, now, Chongzhen became even more furious after hearing this, with veins popping up on his forehead. Wang Chengen of Chongzhen cursed: "You eunuch, what do you know?
If Xuan Mo is really loyal, why don't we see his memorial when the city of Nanyang is destroyed? Is it possible that the destruction of Nanyang was also made up by others? It is not an exaggeration to accuse him of deceiving the emperor based on this alone."
Wang Chengen was speechless. Nanyang was defeated and the Tang Dynasty lost its kingdom. He believed that no one would dare to make up such a big thing. Even the censor, who always paid attention to rumors and reports, would not dare to tell the truth. So he thought it must be true at this time.
However, for such a big matter, no notice was received from Xuan Mo, the governor of Henan. This has to be said that there must be something fishy involved. Is it possible that Xuan Mo can still say that he doesn't know?
Chongzhen continued to roar: "Besides, after Nanyang City was destroyed, Xuanmo not only did not report to the court, but instead secretly sent an envoy to the bandit camp. What is he going to do? Does he want to join the traitors and rebel together?"
In fact, there is no substantial evidence for what Chongzhen said, and it is all based on his own imagination. However, for a creature like an emperor, it can make him feel uneasy, and when the person being suspected happens to have the ability to rebel, it is already
Enough.
Wang Chengen couldn't answer, so Nana said nothing. Cao Huachun shook off Wang Chengen's hand that was tightly grasping him, straightened his clothes, and walked out quickly.
Wang Chengen wanted to say something more, but looking at Chongzhen, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he shut his mouth wisely. He was different from the civil servants outside. Even if civil servants talked nonsense and offended the emperor, they would rarely be criticized by the emperor.
Even if he was really punished and took off his trousers and slapped his shirt, it was a just admonishment. He became an upright and loyal minister in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats and was highly praised.
But he is different. He is a castrate. Even if he is in a high position and is an ancestor in the Forbidden City, if he is beaten to death one day, it will be as insignificant as killing a dog, even to the outside world.
Those civil servants would also clap their hands and shout, "Well done, you should have died a long time ago."
With Chongzhen's decree, Cao Huachun walked with wind in his eyes. Soon he came to Dongchang, which had been silent for a long time. Standing at the gate of Dongchang, looking at the dilapidated gate of Dongchang, Eunuch Cao was not only high-spirited,
The feared Dongchang is back again.
That night, Cao Huachun personally led the team and escorted him along the way with more than 30 experts. He opened the closed gate of the capital and rode away all the way south.
Nanyang,
Qiao Chun has had more than a dozen conversations with Xuanmo's envoy, and the differences between the two sides have become smaller and smaller. However, the scribe's patience is about to wear thin. He clearly understands the meaning of Xuanmo's sending him.
What is needed in this kind of thing is a quick word to cut through the mess quickly, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted.
In the past ten days, the Pei family army had made full use of it and had plundered all the supplies and food in Nanyang City. Of course, they were not plundering it from ordinary people, but sending donations to those wealthy families. As a result, the common people did not have much food in their hands. Even if they plundered it,
Even if everything is turned upside down, not much can be found.
Secondly, sooner or later, the Pei family army will fight back. At this time, the military discipline should be restrained and the kindness given to the people will be in sharp contrast with other armies. When they fight back in the future, someone might open Nanyang City directly from the inside.
On the other hand, the rich and powerful are not so lucky. This time, time is tight, and there is not much time to do what Pei Jiajun is good at doing in case investigation, so he can only take the simplest and most direct method of distributing donations. This is the first time for Pei Jiajun
I am not very skilled in how to distribute donations. I try my best to donate more to those who have money, less to those who have no money, more to those with a bad reputation, and less to those with a good reputation.
Although it is more troublesome to operate, at least some people with little wealth will feel more balanced when they see others paying so much but themselves much less. And these people are the majority in Nanyang. As for those with great wealth and reputation
If you have bad friends, then you will be embarrassed. If you don't make friends with them any less, it means confiscating your family and exterminating your clan.
After this search, the total amount of food was 200,000 dan, plus the food plundered from the Tang Palace, the treasury and other places, the total amount was nearly one million. This amount of food was enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for a year.
With so much food, the Pei family's army has opened up recruitment. There are many refugees in Henan, and a large number of refugees have come to Nanyang. But it can also be said that they can survive until now, which shows the physical fitness of these people. These people are all recruited.
