As the emperor, Chongzhen has been quite unhappy recently. Since this year, the Shanxi bandit army first entered the southern mountain of the capital, less than a hundred miles away from Shunde.

In February, Kou Conghua, deputy envoy of Jingxing, led the guard Li Ding, and Wang Guoxi to chase the bandits to Jifu, but ended up being ambushed by the bandits and annihilated the entire army.

In March, the Sichuan bandits attacked Baizhang Pass, and the local government was defeated and the entire army was wiped out. The stone master chieftain Sima Fengyi was transferred to Henan to suppress the bandits, and was wiped out by the bandits not long after.

Later, in June, Henan Governor Xuan Mo finally defeated the great thief Li Zicheng, who invaded Kaifeng, and killed countless enemies. Chongzhen thought that this person was a great sage in the country and was about to take on important tasks. As a result, someone impeached Xuan Mo and Da.

The thief Pei Xiaoer colluded and was also caught in the capital and died.

In July, the bandits in Shanxi and Hebei had a total of 24 camps. They crossed the river south, invaded Qianxiang, captured Mianchi, and divided into Henan, Huguang, Hanzhong, and Xingping. The bandits in the capital arrived in Ningjin and fled soon.

When they arrived at Mount Wutai, hundreds of miles around Mount Wutai, the bandits occupied Xiantong Temple. There were countless firewood, grain, etc. in Xiantong Temple. The bandits defended with these occupants, and the officials did not dare to attack.

Reading these memorials, it can be said that one by one, nothing can make Chongzhen happy. Chongzhen is gradually getting a feeling now that he only feels that his empire is slightly tilted, and it may not take long.

The foundation of the empire is completely destroyed, and the entire empire may collapse at that time.

Whenever I think of this, Chongzhen always feels suffocating. He doesn't understand that he has clearly strictly demanded himself according to the requirements of the saints, and has already achieved diligence, frugality, diligence, self-reflection, and to the extreme, which is absolutely in line with the Confucianism's wise ruler.

All the requests, but his empire still did not improve at all, but instead slid into the abyss bit by bit. What did he do wrong and what would he do?

"Your Majesty, this is today's memorial. The cabinet has already drafted the ticket and sent it over." Wang Cheng'en's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Come in!" Chongzhen's voice was full of fatigue.

Wang Chengen led two eunuchs holding memorials in. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Chengen saw a pair of dark circles that appeared in Chongzhen because he stayed up late, his lips were slightly white. The bun that should have been neat also looked at this time.

Extremely messy.

"Emperor, I beg you to take care of the dragon body!" Wang Chengen's voice was filled with a crying voice.

"Okay, my mate, I'm fine. Let's put the memorial here first. I'll see it after a while." Chongzhen pointed to the imperial case beside him.

Several eunuchs skillfully put the memorial in their hands in front of Chongzhen, and then quietly retreated.

"My companion, go and ask the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup for me. I'm really hungry." Chongzhen raised his head and ordered, then buried his head and looked at the memorial.

"Yes, I'll go now." Wang Chengen secretly wiped his tears and quietly retreated.

"Come on your Majesty. On the first month of Renchen, the thief Wang Gang, the minister of the king, Tongtianzhu and others, went to Taiyuan to receive a reward. The governor Dai Junen held a banquet to lure Gang and others to kill him, and a total of 429 people were killed. The minister of the king was Baowu, Tongtianzhu and others.

Xiaoyi is a thief. The thief in Kelan is a great plan, and the name of the Dao Shen is especially renowned. There will be severe drought, and more people will be famined and the thieves will be surrendered to the thief. The auxiliary soldiers in the capital gradually gather, and the thieves will flee west..." The memorial said

The ones were bandits from Shanxi, and Chongzhen no longer wanted to see them again. It was nothing more than the destruction of certain prefectures and counties.

The memorial was already accompanied by the cabinet's military transfer opinions. Chongzhen looked at it and didn't think there was any problem, so he wrote a big correct word on this memorial, which means that he would be allowed to do as the cabinet's meaning, and then he still went through it.

"I am the Minister of War of Nanjing, Lu Weiqi, the Minister of War of Nanjing, and the Mausoleum, Nandu, Feng, Si, Chengtian, and the Mausoleum, and it is appropriate to use Su, Shou, Xiang, and Ye as the throat. Huai and Xu Ze's capital, and I beg Huai to entrust Yang Yipeng to prepare for the preparations.

, guard against thieves in the east."

Chongzhen didn't think there was any problem, so he wrote a big and accurate word. Then he flipped out the next memorial.

"I am the governor of Yunyang, Jiang Yunyi, who reported to Your Majesty that in July this year, Pei Xiaoer from Henan led hundreds of thousands of troops into Yingjie and besieged Junzhou, and attempted to attack our Yunyang. I am trying my best to summon more than 50,000 troops from Yunyang County.

It was guarded by Yunguan, and Pei was ordered to go against the gates and not to go further. However, the prefect of Yunyang Pan Shiqi ignored the overall situation and imposed excessive taxes, causing the people in the prefecture to slap, and had to rebel in the seven counties and five counties... Please ask

Your Majesty takes Pan Shiqi to correct the hearts of the army and the people, and the people of Yunyang will all be grateful to the priests and heavens..."

After reading this memorial, Chongzhen's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. How could there be such shameless people in this world? Then, thinking of the usual manners of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he realized that these were just routine operations.

He was furious in an instant, and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, cursing: "The thief, the thief who has no lord and no father, can force me to rebel against the people of the Ming Dynasty at such a critical moment, and should be killed!"

At this time, Wang Chengen had just walked outside the warm room with a bowl of lotus seed soup. Just as hesitated, he heard Chongzhen's angry voice. After a moment of hesitation, Wang Chengen walked in without hesitation, entered the warm room and knelt down first.

: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

"Take care of the dragon body, take care of the dragon body, how to take care of the dragon body? The people below are lawless. Do you really think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and I can't cure them? Go and spread the word about Cao Huachun from the East Factory and tell him to arrest Pan Shiqi for me.

, be imprisoned and die.”

"Yes, I'll go now." Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen was angry. He must not go against his intentions at this time, so he had to wait for a while before persuading him.

Sure enough, after Wang Chengen came in from outside again, he saw Chongzhen lying on the dragon throne much quieter, his eyes fixed on the dome, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Chengen re-picked the lotus seed soup that had just been put aside, put it on Chongzhen's imperial desk, and whispered: "Original, I have sent someone to find Cao Huachun. I believe that Cao Huachun will come in no time after that.

”

"Yeah." Chongzhen nodded softly, and the anger on his face dissipated a lot. To be honest, the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had more of this happening, and Chongzhen gradually became immune. Although he was a little out of control just now, he has now adjusted.

.

"Emperor, I heard that the prefect of Yunyang Pan Shiqi also submitted a memorial. The ancient saying goes, "If you listen to both sides, why don't you see what Pan Shiqi said, so that you can let him?" Wang Chengen said carefully. Now he thought about Chongzhen took it directly.

When he went to Henan Governor Xuan Mo, the big waves caused in the court were a little chilling. At that time, all the censors in the court wrote to impeach Cao Huachun, saying that he was the second Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch party and the country was ruined.

During that time, Wang Chengen even felt that even Chongzhen was afraid, which led to Xuan Mo being imprisoned in the heavenly prison instead of debating his crime early. So this time, Wang Chengen also wanted to let Chongzhen see more.

In this way, there are more weights in the confrontation between court officials, and at the same time, it is also possible to avoid being someone else's knife.

Chongzhen, who had just lost his temper, felt dizzy. He heard what Wang Chengen said make sense, so he resisted the feeling of fainting, sat up, "Take me the thief's memorial."

"Yes." Wang Chengen hurriedly pulled out Pan Shiqi's memorial from below and handed it to Chongzhen.

"My memory Pan Shiqi initiated the emperor..." Pan Shiqi's memorial was indeed completely different from what Jiang Yunyi said. In the memorial, Pan Shiqi introduced in detail the entire process of the fall of Junzhou, and that Jiang Yunyi was completely useless in this process. Not only that,

Jiang Yunyi recruited village warriors in Yunyang and recruited soldiers. However, because he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, Jiang Yunyi hoarded all the soldiers recruited in Yunyang and Yunguan areas, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack, defeat Pei Ni and recover lost territory.

On the contrary, people sent to force food and grass every day. Yunyang officials had no choice but to go to the county to force food and grass according to Jiang Yunyi's request, which forced the seven counties of Yunyang to rebel against the five counties. Jiang Yunyi, the governor of Yunyang, not only did not send troops to take advantage of the people's chaos, but also lightly

To quell the rebellion, he was busy shirking his faults, causing the Pei family army to conquer cities and conquering the land in Yunnan to displace the people.

"This Jiang Yunyi should be killed." After reading the memorial, Chongzhen suddenly said something, but he disappeared from the anger just now. Now both sides have different opinions, and he can't decide who said it is true and who says it.

What is fake.
