He first browsed through the memorials. Most of them were memorials from various places and central officials about the situation in Dengzhou. There were also a large number of impeachment memorials, and a considerable part of them were directed at Zhou Yanru and Sun Yuanhua.
Zhou Yanru was suspected of taking bribes, and Chongzhen had long suspected it. He also asked Dongchang to secretly inquire about it, but what he received in return was that "there is a reason for the matter, but there is no solid evidence." This made the emperor, who was suspicious by nature, even more troubled.
In recent years, state affairs had become increasingly difficult, and he always hoped that ministers would act with sincerity. However, what he saw from the piles of memorials was that in addition to the difficulties of the state, the ministers were endlessly criticizing each other.
In contrast, although Zhou Yanru was constantly being impeached, he was still satisfied with his work. In addition, he also vaguely felt that someone was behind the impeachment trend against Zhou Yanru.
"Every one of you said that Zhou Yanru was corrupt and harmed the country, but you wouldn't harm the country?" He sneered in his heart, but he was very helpless. Whether it was court meetings or memorials, most of them were empty talk - why didn't he know that now
Many practices are to treat headaches, head and foot aches, but do not solve the problem, and even drink poison to quench thirst. But what if this is not the case?
Zhou Yanru had expressed his intention to recuse himself several times, and he had issued orders to comfort him. However, in the face of the impeachment memorials that kept coming, he wavered again.
Then there were several impeachment memorials, but they were not directed against Zhou Yanru and Sun Yuanhua, but against Liu Zongzhou's impeachment of Min Hongxue, Minister of Household Affairs.
Min Hongxue was Wen Tiren's man. The emperor himself knew this very well. Liu Zongzhou's impeachment of Min Hongxue was obviously aimed at Wen Tiren.
The emperor felt that in the past few days, the contents of the memorials coming from various places had undergone subtle changes. The impeachment against Wen Tiren and others has increased significantly, most of them are Donglin Party members. They took the trouble to remind the emperor in the memorials: Wen Tiren
At first, he was "a rebel against the Party", and after he joined the cabinet, he also tried to overturn the verdict of "against the Party" and "the imperial verdict". Some memorials even listed various words and deeds of Wen Tiren and his comrades.
In addition to targeting the Wen Tiren Party, all officials at all levels who were involved in the Dengzhou Incident have been violently attacked recently. Bi Ziyin, the magistrate of Wuqiao County, has been dismissed from his post because he connived at the "strike" and provoked a mutiny. His brother Bi
Ziyan also came under fierce attack.
In addition, several officials from the Wang family in Xincheng were also accused of being responsible for the "radical upheaval".
"There is no good person!" Chongzhen dropped the memorial in great distress. He vaguely felt that the Dengzhou rebellion was no longer a simple military rebellion, it seemed that the ministers of the imperial court had taken this opportunity to fight among themselves.
He held his head and remained silent, unwilling to open another memorial. The eunuchs and maids around him were all silent and did not dare to say anything.
Just as he was feeling bored, Cao Huachun, the Bingbi eunuch on duty, sent another stack of documents. When he saw that the first one was a secret military intelligence report from Shandong, he was shocked again, and he simply didn't want to open it: Recently, it was from Shandong.
The news gets worse every time:
Just half a month ago, the imperial court discussed the transfer of Tongzhou soldiers and put Yang Yufan in command. He also added the title of general to put him in charge of the officers and soldiers of the Shandong battalions. He also transferred Tianjin soldiers and horses and put them in charge of the general Wang Hong. He also transferred Baoding soldiers and horses to the general.
The soldiers were led by Liu Guozhu and went to destroy them within a limited time.
On the 25th of January, Yang Yufan led his soldiers and officers and soldiers from Duoying, Yiying and Qingying to Zhuqiao Town. In the evening, the Tianjin soldiers led by Wang Hong also arrived. On the 28th, they came east together and arrived at Xincheng.
On January 29, the rebels came out from Dengzhou to fight. As a result, the Tianjin soldiers retreated first and Wang Hong fled. Yang Yufan was surrounded by the rebels. He broke out of the encirclement and fled to Laizhou in the middle of the night. His soldiers scattered and fled. Yang Yufan only took three soldiers with him.
Hundreds of soldiers fled to Laizhou City, but were almost rejected by Laizhou City, and finally entered the city.
Could it be that Laizhou has also fallen now? Some terrible conjectures emerged in his mind at the same time. Although he was not good at fighting, he had already understood the importance of Laizhou from the memorials about the Dengzhou Incident that had been flying in these days. Sun Yuanhua
The memorial said that he was prepared to defend Laizhou to prevent the rebels from spreading to various places and causing "the whole territory of Shandong to be corrupted and bring disaster to Zhili".
The disastrous defeat of the Tianjin soldiers led by Yang Yufan a few days ago seemed to have foreshadowed that the Dengzhou Rebellion would not end easily - maybe it would become another "chaotic bandit".
"Sun Yuanhua deserves to die!" Chongzhen said secretly, reluctantly picking up the secret memorial and opening it.
At this time, he found out that the memorial was sent by Sun Yuanhua, and he felt a little calmer. Sun Yuanhua was now charged with the loss of Dengzhou. If Laizhou was lost, he would definitely have no reason to "break out" again, and he would definitely die in the city.
So Laizhou is still there!
I hurriedly read the two sentences of "Reason" and couldn't believe it. After reading it again, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. After reading the full text, the color returned to my face. I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes.
After a while, he seemed to feel that the matter was not reliable enough, so he quickly opened the reports from the patrol censor Wang Daochun, the new Shandong governor Xu Congzhi and the commander-in-chief Yang Yu.
After reading everything, a smile appeared on his face. As if to vent his excitement, he stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the hall.
These people all reported the same news. Sun Yuanhua defeated the rebel Mao Chenglu tribe in Huang County and beheaded thousands of people. He beheaded the rebel general Mao Chenglu. Then he severely defeated the siege rebels under Laizhou City and beheaded hundreds more. The officers and soldiers were injured.
not much.
"I didn't expect that Sun Yuanhua still had some ability to do things!" He thought about the memorials that had been published in the past few days. He believed that Sun Yuanhua had been running Dengzhou for a long time, had a good understanding of the situation in Shandong and Dongjiang, and was well-known among the Liao people. He suggested that he should be punished and meritorious.
Originally, he was ready to dismiss Sun Yuanhua for questioning, but the current situation made him hesitate again - especially with his first victory on the battlefield in Shandong. Although he was angry that Sun Yuanhua fell into Dengzhou, he thought that he relied on Laizhou's
Thousands of remnant defeated generals finally stopped the unstoppable momentum of the Chuli rebels, probably thanks to Yu Wei, who had been the governor of the Denglai area for a long time. When someone reported the situation in Shandong a few days ago, he strongly stated that "the commander should not be changed on the spot."
If he is removed at this moment, the new Denglai governor may not be able to win the support and trust of the generals and gentry - if it goes wrong, it will trigger a mutiny - the emperor knows the army too well, and these Ziqiu Ba have gradually changed since the end of Tianqi.
They have become unruly and unruly, asking for food and wages beforehand, and gathering crowds to mutiny if they are dissatisfied at all. However, now there are fires in all directions, smoke is rising in all directions, and troops are needed everywhere to maintain...
Thinking of this, he decided not to replace Sun Yuanhua, but to let him continue to "deliver merit" and stay in Laizhou. At the end of last year, he had "relegated him to three levels to remain in office", and this time he decided not to give him any merit. As for Yang Yufan,
Because he had just lost a battle and was demoted, the punishment was revoked this time. As for Xu Congzhi, the prefect of Laizhou, Zhu Wannian, and the magistrate of Ye County, they all had merit and were rewarded. In addition, at the end of the memorial, the local Jin gentry and citizens who had contributed were listed.
, as usual, there are also rewards. The emperor no longer looks at it carefully, and the edict is handled by the Ministry of Rites as appropriate.
Even so, he was still not at ease. Recently, he had gradually distrusted his foreign ministers and always felt that they were not as reliable as his internal ministers. Therefore, he decided to choose two eunuchs who were reliable and "knowledge of soldiers" to go to Laizhou to supervise the army respectively, Sun Yuanhua and Xu Congzhi.
He was considering which eunuchs were more suitable among the eunuchs of the Royal Horse Guards. In his opinion, the most suitable person was Gao Qiqian. However, Gao Qiqian was a rare talent among the ministers who knew soldiers. He felt that he should be kept at a higher level.
Used in critical situations: Once the arrangements for the Dengzhou campaign are in place, a eunuch should also be dispatched to supervise the army.
While he was meditating, he suddenly saw Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was about to exit, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Cao Huachun had served him in Prince Xin's palace, and was ostracized by Wei Zhongxian during the Tianqi period and was sent to Nanjing - he belonged to the eunuch Conglong who had suffered together.
, so he trusted him very much. He immediately asked:
"Have you ever heard of what happened between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren in the outside world?"
Cao Huachun bowed and said: "I serve the emperor in the palace every day, and I only hear about things outside occasionally. Besides, this is a major event for the imperial court. How can I dare to speak out?"
"Just tell me straight."
Cao Huachun had been entrusted by Eunuch Yang several days ago and received some benefits. He also received money and letters from Qian Qianyi, a member of the Donglin Party who was living at home, asking him to speak for Zhou Yanru. Qian Qianyi and him
The relationship between them was different - Cao Huachun came from Wang An's sect, and Qian Qianyi once wrote an epitaph for Wang An - so he had long been prepared to excuse Zhou Yanru and Sun Yuanhua. However, he did not have the opportunity to discuss the matter face to face on weekdays.
Now after the emperor asked, he took the opportunity to kneel down and start playing.
He had already considered the content of the memorial, mainly starting from the party disputes that were most taboo to the emperor, implying that this attack on Sun Yuanhua and Zhou Yanru contained elements of the party disputes between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.
These words really had an impact on Chongzhen. Since he came to the throne, the most taboo of him was the partisanship in the court, and even more the taboo of forming factions. Therefore, although Donglin was rehabilitated in his hands, since the Chongzhen dynasty, except for the one in the early years of Chongzhen
Outside of the "Zhu Zheng Dynasty", the Donglin Party members have never been able to occupy central positions. He appointed Wen Tiren, who was scolded as the "remnant of the eunuch Party", as his first assistant for a long time, with the intention of countering Donglin.
He originally suspected that there was a party dispute involved, but now Cao Huachun's insinuations made him suddenly alert.
He asked Cao Huachun to withdraw. He had no intention of replacing Sun Yuanhua. These words made him more determined, but he was unwilling to spare Sun Yuanhua like this: Dengzhou is after all an important military town that costs 800,000 taels a year. Sun Yuanhua
After losing troops and losing territory, it was not too much to ask for help. He considered it again and again and decided to dismiss the former Dengzhou officials who had broken through: Wang Zheng, Supervisor of the Army, and Song Guanglan, Denglai Dao, and were assigned to Datong Guards. Zhang Tao was dismissed and stayed in front of the Laizhou Army.
Effectiveness. All other personnel were dismissed from their posts and deregistered.
