East Factory Governor

Chapter 415 Changed tricks

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the hall, apart from Chongzhen, there are also Sun Chengzong and Wang Dehua.

Standing in front of the hall, Sun Chengzong read Qin Shuhuai's secret performance word by word, then slowly closed it and handed it back to Chongzhen.

There was always a bright smile on the corner of Chongzhen's mouth.

The corners of Sun Chengzong's brows also raised slightly, and the deep furrow-like wrinkles were smoothed out a lot.

Said, "Hehe, this Qin Shuhuai is really good at tricks, and he took over the power of the three sides in just a few days. Congratulations to the emperor, old minister."

Chongzhen smiled, and then said a little faster, "Teacher, now we are free to attack the Donglin Party! I have been waiting for a day for a long time!"

Among the brows, there is an elated look, like a child who has been bullied for a long time, finally waiting for the day when he grows up and becomes stronger.

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you also call Donglin people the 'Donglin Party'? This nickname has not been mentioned for a long time since the Qi Chuzhe Party fell from power."

"Hehe, I also heard what Brother Qin said. He said that those Donglin people form a clique for self-interest, that is the Donglin Party! I think it is really appropriate."

"Your Majesty, Wen Tiren and the others seemed to say that Zhou Yanru and others belonged to the Donglin Party."

"Presumably they also heard what Brother Qin said, what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing." Sun Chengzong said half a sentence, but stopped talking.

When Chongzhen was excited, he didn't hear Sun Chengzong's voice, and said, "Teacher, now that brother Qin has seized the military power on the three sides, should we also act? As he said, we should suppress Donglin immediately. The arrogance of the party has let the generals of the three sides and even all over the world know that the big tree of the Donglin Party is not reliable!"

Sun Chengzong still frowned deeply, as if he was wandering.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you, are you in good health?" Seeing that he was silent, Chongzhen asked with concern.

Sun Chengzong came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, the old minister is old and frail, and his mind was just distracted for a while."

"Teacher, you have to take care of your health so that you can work with me to rebuild the Great Ming Dynasty! I have Teacher Sun and Brother Qin, and it's time to show off!" Chongzhen said vigorously.

Sun Chengzong smiled lightly, "Don't worry, the emperor, the old minister's body is still strong!"

"That's good! Where are we talking? Oh yes, the teacher thinks, shouldn't we start implementing the five suggestions put forward by brother Qin Mizuo?"

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "These five suggestions are indeed imperative, and the old minister seconded it."

Chongzhen couldn't wait to say, "Then tell me, how should we attack the Donglin Party, should we attack Zhou Yanru? I have tolerated him for a long time!"

Sun Chengzong shook his head solemnly, and said, "If Donglin is the party, then Zhou Yanru is the leader of the Donglin party this time. If the emperor takes him down, it will be difficult for him to get rid of him."

"How to ride a tiger and get stuck?"

"Imagine, Your Majesty, the Donglin people have long regarded Zhou Yanru as the chief assistant of the cabinet. If he is captured, the Emperor will send another Donglin person to take the top. If you let a non-Donglin person take the top, then the governors from all over the country will definitely come together." Rebounded. They felt that the emperor took three sides and withdrew their 'Prime Minister', and that it was a certainty to attack Donglin, and if they failed, the governors would jump off the wall."

Chongzhen frowned, and said, "The teacher is right. Brother Qin said that the suppression should be suppressed, but not too much. Before, he used a metaphor called boiling a frog in warm water. This... really needs to be carefully considered. "

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shuhuai's words may not be the truth. The Emperor must have his own holy judgment."

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Sun Chengzong meant.

Hehe smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you are worrying too much. I have my own judgment, but what brother Qin said is also right."

Sun Chengzong sighed helplessly, and said, "I hope the old minister is worrying too much."

In the hall, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Chongzhen said, "Let's talk about how to suppress the Donglin Party. If you don't move Zhou Yanru, then I think you can move Zhejiang Governor Wang Huazhen. After Brother Qin came back from Jiangnan, he brought a There are a lot of evidences of Wang Huazhen's corruption and indiscriminate murder, both human and physical, if I want to punish him, even the Donglin Party has nothing to say."

Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, and said, "It's so good! In this way, the emperor's starting point can be interpreted as suppressing Donglin, or as rectifying the administration of officials, as long as it is ambiguous. The veteran suggested that this case It can also be handed over to the three divisions for a joint trial, and the Donglin people can try it themselves. First, now that there are witnesses and material evidence, I am afraid they will not dare to cover Wang Huazhen too much. At most, they can protect him from death. Heart, let them feel that the emperor still trusts them."

Chongzhen sneered, and said, "Hmph, I wish they would turn black and white and convict Wang Huazhen of innocence! In this way, when the time is right, I will use this case as a starting point to take down all the people in the third department. Not only the three Secretary, if it gets involved by then, you can find out a whole bunch of people!"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he smiled gratifiedly and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chongzhen asked again, "Teacher, you said that if I do this, the governors of various places should not rebound?"

Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty, there will definitely be a backlash, but as long as the Emperor does not act too sharply, so that the Donglin people can't be sure what the Emperor thinks in his heart, then they will not fight the Emperor to the death. There are smart people in the middle, but it is still impossible to stir up the world by relying on this small wave of smart people. Therefore, when the governors from all over the country rebound, the emperor only needs to use the dragging formula, and there is no need to worry about it."

Chongzhen nodded in agreement, "Well, this matter is settled. I will let Luo Yangxing take Jin Yiwei to arrest Wang Huazhen in person later." How are you doing?"

"It should be on the way now. After the defeat of Huangtai Jiji outside the pass, he is now unable to attack Liaodong again, so the Guanning army has transferred [-] troops this time to strengthen the defense of Gyeonggi."

At this moment, a eunuch came to report from outside.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yanru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, seeks an audience."

Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and smiled.

Afterwards, Chongzhen said, "Let him in."

Not long after, Zhou Yanru walked in quickly, knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered, and said in a sad tone, "The guilty minister sees the emperor!"

Chongzhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Why is Mr. Zhou Ge guilty?"

"The sinful minister has received the favor of two generations of emperors. He should have been conscientious and diligent, so that he can be called an envoy and share the worries of our emperor. However, the guilty minister is unreasonable, ignorant of the world, and he is an official who is conservative and does not know how to make compromises. As a result, he offended some colleagues. He was even criticized as the leader of the Donglin Party, which caused his colleagues to be alienated, the monarch and his ministers to be divorced from virtue, and the guilty officials knew that their sins were serious, so I asked the emperor to dismiss the guilty officials as officials, and asked the emperor to punish the guilty officials for their indiscretion!"

After hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help laughing in his heart, the old man has changed his tricks this time!
