Chapter 771
Jingshi Imperial City, platform.

The memorial sent by Zhang Fengyi gave Chongzhen a headache.

Under the banner of avenging Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji led [-] troops to break Jizhen again, and specifically killed Wu Guojun, uncle of Ming Jing Liao.

Once Huang Taiji breaks through Ji Town again, wouldn't it be a repetition of his own changes?

In the past two years, the Ming army has been repeatedly defeated in Liaodong, and there is no good news.

Even the rebel Kong Youde surrendered to Huang Taiji by boat, and then rushed to Lushunkou together. Huanglong, the general soldier of Zhenjiang, and all the generals and soldiers under his command were wiped out.

Only Huanglong's confidant was ordered by Huanglong to flee back to Dengzhou with the seal of the general soldier.

For this reason, Chongzhen severely punished Yu Dacheng, governor of Shandong.

Previously, he wanted to transfer him to Shandong to pacify the rebel Cao Jun who was stirred up by Gao Bandit and others, because Yuan Chonghuan was Yu Dacheng's "idol" and claimed to be Yuan Chonghuan's successor.

Chongzhen sometimes regretted killing Yuan Chonghuan, so he asked Yuan Chonghuan's successor to go to Shandong for a small test to see his ability.

As a result, after Yu Dacheng left, those rebels quickly hooked up with the members of the White Lotus Sect, and their power grew stronger.

Yu Dacheng was still unable to defeat the white lotus demon thief Fang Chi, and there was a change of desertion. He was unable to crusade, and was ridiculed as the "White Lotus Supervisor".

Said that he was an official for the White Lotus Sect, not for Daming.

When Yu Dacheng heard that Kong Youde had launched the Wuqiao mutiny, he pretended to be sick and went out for several days.

The imperial court urged several times before sending generals to attack, but they were defeated by Kong Youde's hundreds of people.

Yu Dacheng was terrified, and kept advocating to appease Kong Youde, and strictly prohibited fighting the rebels.

It's a pity that the recruiting failed many times, resulting in the loss of soldiers and horses and the murder of senior officials. With the arrival of the governor Zhu Dadian, he turned the tide and directly defeated Kong Youde and retreated to Dengzhou.

Chongzhen ordered this person to be demoted.

At the beginning, Yu Dacheng just offended Wei Zhongxian and was dismissed as a civilian. He was recalled by Chongzhen and stayed to help in the defense of Beijing. He claimed to be acquainted with Yuan Chonghuan and could help recruit the escaped Guan Ning army.

Chongzhen immediately rewarded Yu Dacheng by writing the words "Yu Ci Qing Zhi" to him.

In the end, Sun Chengzong and others had to come forward to persuade Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to Zu Dashou and ask him to come back.

Chongzhen never expected that Yu Dacheng would pay homage to Yuan Chonghuan privately on the way to relegation, which made Chongzhen even more furious. Before Yu Dacheng took office, he asked him to go to Guangdong to take a post.

He had just finished solving Shandong's problem, and it turned out that Huang Taiji was about to dispatch again.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Today's Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru's status is in jeopardy, and he is no longer trusted by Chongzhen.

Cifu Wen Tiren also remained silent, planning to find an opportunity to deal Zhou Yanru a fatal blow and tell him to go back to his hometown.

"Your Majesty." Xiong Mingyu stood up again: "We should increase our troops to Jizhen to prevent Huang Taiji from breaking the wall of Jizhen again.

If Uncle Jing Liao died, who would dare to fight against Huang Taiji in the future? "

After all, Huang Taiji said he slaughtered the high-ranking officials of Daming, and then killed him, so Daming doesn't want to lose face?
"So, should more troops be added to Ji Town?"

Xiong Mingyu nodded: "We should reinforce Jizhen."

"Where do the troops come from?"

"Zhu Dadian, the right servant of the Ministry of War, led [-] Guanning iron cavalry and [-] infantry. They can rush from Shandong to Jizhen. It is impossible for Huang Taiji to fight on two fronts."

Chongzhen frowned slightly, he still wanted Zhu Dadian to take advantage of the situation to put down the rebels in Shandong!

But Jizhen can't ignore it, otherwise Huang Taiji will attack the capital again and recruit King Qin, wouldn't it make the thieves even more unscrupulous?
Now the government army is chasing the high-ranking bandits and all the anti-thieves from all walks of life. Once they mobilize troops to surround the capital, the bandits will get a breather again.

"Let's do it that way."

Chongzhen made up his mind to reinforce Jizhen and guard the capital.

"Yes."

As soon as Xiong Mingyu came down, he heard that the criminal department on the side was impeaching Chen Zanhua, the chief assistant of the court, Shaofu and Prince Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhou Yanru, a scholar of Jianji Palace, for recruiting power and accepting bribes.

Zhou Yanru defended himself in court, and Chongzhen watched the two of them confront each other while pinching his brows.

As a result, Chen Zanhua threw out a dose of strong news, revealing that Zhou Yanru had flaunted to Li Biao, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, that he could influence the will of Emperor Chongzhen, and said that Emperor Chongzhen was "the master of Xihuang".

All of a sudden, Chongzhen was pulled off the battlefield, and he was no longer watching the excitement.

Chongzhen is very sensitive to such matters, and the chief minister of the court dared to influence his will. Could it be that he also wants to be "nine thousand years old"?
Zhu Youjian immediately asked Chen Zanhua where he heard the news. Chen Zanhua cited Yao Sunqu, Li Shiqi, and Governor Zhang Fengyi as witnesses in Shanglinyuan's book, and Zhou Yanru could not deny it.

Seeing the embarrassment on Zhou Yanru's face, Wen Tiren, the mastermind behind the scenes, made Chongzhen very angry and extremely proud!
Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru, his face was extremely ugly, I trust you so much, others impeach you, protect you many times, let you help me with peace of mind.

In the end, you actually made up such a plot behind your back and stabbed me in the back!

Do you really think that I am a three-year-old child, can you make up your mind?

It can be said that the court's repeated party struggles drained Chongzhen's trust in the ministers, especially when he felt that Zhou Yanru made the same mistake as Yuan Chonghuan, that is, to deceive him!
"Zhou Yanru." Chongzhen just shouted three words.

Zhou Yanru bowed and said he was sick and resigned, hoping that His Majesty would give him a face.

Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart, and he didn't bother to make a drama of three requests and three resignations, so he directly agreed to Zhou Yanru's resignation.

Wen Tiren burst into laughter in his heart, once Zhou Yanru left, the first assistant could only sit by himself.

Zhou Yanru knew who was behind the scenes, so he recommended He Ruchong, who had retired from office, as the chief assistant of the cabinet to Chongzhen, and slapped Wen Tiren backhandedly.

Wen Tiren originally thought that Chongzhen would refuse, but unexpectedly agreed, and he hated Zhou Yanru in his heart!

Now I made a wedding dress for someone else.

Chongzhen was really upset about the chief minister of the cabinet coaxing him, and wished to kill Zhou Yanru like Yuan Chonghuan.

However, during Zhou Yanru's administration, he did not make any major mistakes. Instead, he maintained the normal operation of the court and was a smart and capable person.

Zhou Yanru has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he has been awarded the first prize and the number one scholar.

He thought that after joining forces with Wen Tiren and tripping over the powerful Donglin Party, he would be able to secure the position of chief assistant in the cabinet. Wen Tiren, who never wanted to join forces with him, also coveted the position of chief assistant, and he was a bad-hearted person.

I had the idea of ​​showing off before, but I was quick to talk for a while, and it came to fruition.

In this party struggle, it can be said that no one from the emperor to the courtiers was happy.

Just when everyone was unhappy, Uncle Jingliao Wu Guojun sent a letter of war, and the eunuch on the side handed it to Chongzhen.

After Chongzhen opened it, he saw Wu Guojun asking for a fight with a blood book.

"It is said that he has been entrusted with the emperor's favor for the past two years. He has been training soldiers in Jizhen, and he has subdued some Mongols in Chahar, so that he can ensure that there are no Tartars who lead the way.

He Huang Taiji wants my life, and I want his life too!

Your Majesty, please don't worry, let alone send reinforcements. There are rogues everywhere in the imperial court, and don't disturb Your Majesty's deployment.

If Huang Taiji dares to come to Ji Town again this time, I, Wu Guojun, will definitely fight to the end with the Jurchen dog Tartar, and show off my great Ming army! "

After reading it, Chongzhen couldn't help but took a picture of the imperial case, and roared:
"Good man, he really deserves to be named Uncle Jingliao by me!"
