Chongzhen Chat Group

In the imperial study room of the Forbidden City in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was paying attention to the war on the grassland. He knew that a great victory would be inevitable, but he still didn’t know what the final result would be.

At this time, a chamberlain reported that Liu Xingzuo, commander of the Jinyi Guards, wanted to see him. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew from the chat group and immediately ordered him to appear in court.

People who take the initiative to see me like this usually have something to do. Especially when he asked Liu Xingzuo to rest for a few days and let him come to see him when he could spend more time with his family, something must have happened. Emperor Chongzhen thought so and became a little curious about what would happen to Liu Xingzuo!

Sure enough, Liu Xingzuo was ushered in by the chamberlain with a serious look on his face. After the ceremony, he immediately handed over a memorial and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, there is a night boy in the capital city who has started to cause trouble. I will find out everything in the memorial. Please Your Majesty has given me a driving notice and asked the general to go and get the person!"

According to the Ming Dynasty system, when factory guards arrest people, they must have a driving certificate. That is to say, when the emperor issues a driving certificate and acts, the chief ceremonial officer will issue the certificate and stamp the seal. The official must also sign the official signature of the criminal department and sign a detailed approval document before the person can be taken.

But this system has been slowly destroyed since the Jiajing period, which is also related to the strength of factory guards. However, the current Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to destroy him. He still stipulated that factory guards arrest people and must strictly follow the system.

The reason why he did this was because he understood that the factory guard was a knife in his hand. This knife is very sharp. If you use it well, it will be a great help to you to revive the Ming Dynasty; but if you use it incorrectly and lose the restraint, it may in turn hurt you.

Although from the current point of view, Jinyiwei is in the hands of Liu Xingzuo, and the admiral of Dongchang is Wang Chengen, both of them are trustworthy people. But there will be a long time to come, and who can ensure that they will remain loyal and will not be eroded by power.

In fact, if we really talk about it, Emperor Chongzhen did not fully grasp it. And this was originally Emperor Chongzhen's fault.

When Emperor Chongzhen first came to the throne, he re-employed members of the Donglin Party and banned factory guards, making them useless. Later, Emperor Chongzhen, who came through his soul, re-enabled factory guards, mostly for investigation and other personnel appointments and dismissals. These were originally under the direct control of the emperor, but it didn't matter. However, the Criminal Division was very sensitive about the position given to Shi Zhong. Emperor Chongzhen has not found a suitable opportunity to replace him with someone he is satisfied with for more than half a year, which can be regarded as restricting the factory guard's ability to take people's lives.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen became serious after hearing Liu Xingzuo's words, and immediately took the memorial handed over by his chamberlain and read it.

It turns out that the Jinyiwei Investigation Office learned that there is now a kind of speech on the streets of the capital criticizing the previous Battle of Liaodong.

You know, Emperor Chongzhen clearly affirmed the Liaodong War, and even asked the chief minister Wen Tiren to lead the civil and military officials to the city gate to greet the victorious soldiers. But today, people on the streets are slandering the war. It is obvious that people with ulterior motives are at work. Otherwise, ordinary people would never be able to deny this confirmed war.

Such remarks with ulterior motives say that the Battle of Liaodong was actually opportunistic, and it was only because of the absence of the Jianlu army that such a victory was achieved. Moreover, what is the use of taking Liaoyang, Anshan Post and so on? If it is not still in the hands of Jianlu, there is no difference in the outcome whether it is taken or not.

Also, they said that the Hussars did not dare to fight Jianlu at all, but in fact they did not have the ability. Otherwise, why not have a serious fight with Jianlu. Also, if Guan Ning's army hadn't gone to meet him, he wouldn't have been able to escape, and he would still have the nerve to claim a great victory in Liaodong!

Emperor Chongzhen saw his anger growing. He understood that this specious statement was very confusing to some people who did not know the truth and could not think for themselves. He suppressed his anger and continued to read the memorial.

In these remarks, North Korea was even completely surrendered to Jianlu, and the Ming Dynasty lost a vassal state, which was also blamed on the Dongjiang Ming army. It was said that Governor Denglai failed to rescue, and that North Korea was under the jurisdiction of Governor Denglai, but was rebelled against, and then fell into the hands of Jianlu.

According to the meaning of these remarks on the street, Governor Denglai's war this time was not only fruitless, but actually successful. The emperor was young and ignorant, and Governor Denglai and others deceived a war that was not a victory at all into a great victory. The imperial court finally had some money, but it still spent it on such exaggerated and false military exploits. It was really the result of the treacherous ministers controlling the imperial court.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh angrily when he saw this. These remarks confuse right and wrong and are not so strong!

North Korea is a pig teammate. It has been warned by the Ming Dynasty. It allowed it to persist for a period of time but still fell without taking precautions. It was totally because Adou couldn't help it, and it was also blamed on Governor Denglai. This is a bloody rant!

The Hussars Battalion clearly dealt a heavy blow to the Jianlu, which greatly weakened the overall strength of the Jianlu, and boosted the confidence of the Han slaves in Liaodong, but they misinterpreted it as falsely claiming military merit, as if they could only steal chickens and dogs, and even almost didn't. Escape.

It can be seen from these remarks that some people have even begun to attack ministers other than Governor Denglai, such as the chief minister of the cabinet Wen Tiren, saying that if such a thing happens, he should be held accountable first. There was also Elder Xue Guoguange, who allowed the warriors to cause trouble and went rampant in the countryside, using the pretext of collecting back taxes and making the people's livelihood miserable. If this kind of thing continues to develop, I'm afraid Shanxi will be in chaos. And if Shanxi is in chaos, it will definitely harm the capital and even the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his anger and continued to look down. In the second half of the memorial, Jin Yiwei secretly mobilized the underground forces in the capital, namely the gangs controlled by Wu Ergou, to investigate. The initiator of these remarks has not been identified, but based on clues, these remarks may be related to some censors or even important ministers. At least one of the people Jin Yiwei targeted was a censor.

What Liu Xingzuo meant was to let his Jin Yiwei arrest the censor first, and use some means in the imperial prison to start investigating the censor.

After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he thought for a moment and realized that the spreaders of these remarks were definitely those whose interests had been harmed before. After they regained their composure, they began to fight back.

With this in mind, he looked at the second half of the memorial and sneered in his heart. The ultimate goal of these remarks may still be on the political situation. Are you thinking of overthrowing the first assistant, Wen Tiren, or the assistant minister, Xue Guoguan?

I remembered that many people had written memorials to impeach Xue Guoguan over the Shanxi incident. At that time, I directly announced that these memorials would be sent to Xue Guoguan and asked him to investigate the matter on his own, in order to warn them that this kind of impeachment was in vain.

Unexpectedly, seeing that impeachment was ineffective, they actually knew to start by controlling public opinion and create public opinion to continue promoting the matter!

Haha, I will satisfy you well this time! Emperor Chongzhen thought so while holding the memorial.

There should be an update in the evening!
