Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 560 Peak

Early the next morning, as soon as Si Yamen, the general affairs envoy of the capital, opened the door, he saw a messenger coming quickly. He seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had something important to do.

The officials on duty at the door did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted him. But the messenger got off his horse and said loudly: "An urgent message from the governors of the three sides has arrived!"

"What, is it a memorial from the governors of the three sides?" Upon hearing this, the official immediately remembered the rumors in the capital and confirmed immediately.

The letter sent Yang He's instructions in order to make his position known to more people and to have an explanation in the future, so he immediately responded loudly: "Yes, Governor Yansui hurriedly mobilized the cavalry of Qin and Jin. Lord Governor I am very worried, and I have something urgent to report to the court!"

After hearing this, the officials quickly guided him into the yamen and handed over the memorial according to the urgent mode. At the same time, he asked curiously: "Governor Yansui also mobilized the cavalry from Qin and Jin. What is he doing?"

"I heard that they are going to beat Lin Dan Khan and take revenge for the Mongolian Tatars' invasion of the border!" The messenger knew everything he wanted to say.

When the other officials in the general administration office heard their conversation, they were immediately attracted by them. They put down what they were doing and followed them, and started asking questions. In fact, there has been a lot of discussion in the capital recently, causing them to be involved in right and wrong, intentionally or unintentionally.

This matter was very sensitive, and it immediately ignited the atmosphere in the General Affairs Department, and finally alerted the General Affairs Envoy. After reviewing the memorial, he felt that the situation was serious and immediately sent the memorial to the cabinet in person.

However, the content of the memorial had been seen by other officials of the General Affairs Department during the previous handover, and it spread quickly. Many outsiders obtained the content of the memorial from Yang He, the governor of the three sides, before the cabinet.

"The latest news is that the imperial court is about to go to war with Lin Dan Khan!"

"What? Do you really want to fight? The imperial court already has troops in several places. How dare you start another war?"

"What a great achievement! You don't know that Governor Yansui is so determined to please the emperor that he hastily mobilized cavalry troops from all over the country! How can the war be so urgent!"

"Really? If this is the case, the war will not go well. How can anyone not prepare for a year and a half and then rush into the war and win?"

"No, that's why Mr. Yang He, the governor of the three sides, sent an urgent memorial of eight hundred miles to the court to stop this matter. But it seems a bit late. The governor of Yansui is bent on catering to the emperor and is already sending troops!"

"..."

With the arrival of Yang He's memorial, the public opinion in the capital suddenly reached a peak. The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols often bumped into each other, but due to the difference in military conditions between the two sides, the Ming Dynasty was basically passively beaten, and few Ming troops could take the initiative to attack.

In the past, the influence of public opinion has caused the army to falsely report military exploits and exaggerate. The emperor was so happy with his achievements that he was easily deceived by border officials and generals. In order to revive the Ming Dynasty, the emperor even ignored the lives of the people and forcibly collected money, which made the people miserable!

Nowadays, the concerns of the three governors have intensified this impression. The emperor was so overjoyed that he actually agreed with Governor Yansui to conquer his superiors, ignoring the concerns of the governors on the three sides. After the defeat in the grassland, not to mention the revenge of the Mongols, in Qin and Jin alone, rebellion would break out again, and the people would be in dire straits!

The governors of the three sides are the parties involved. He is not optimistic about the grassland war, so there is no mistake in all likelihood. In fact, there is no need for him not to be optimistic about it. Going to fight the Mongols on the grasslands, no one will be optimistic about this kind of thing!

As a result, some censors made a decisive decision and immediately began to write memorials, heartbreakingly impeaching the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou; some impeached the cabinet minister Xue Guoguan, and of course the chief minister Wen Tiren was impeached, and there were even some more radical censors. Yan Guan advised the emperor not to be overjoyed at great achievements. Anyway, after the memorial from Yang He, the governor of the three sides, arrived, the general affairs department immediately became lively and the workload also increased.

In the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, with the arrival of these memorials, right and wrong began to arise. As a rule, there are many memorials to impeach the chief minister, or to impeach the person recommended by the chief minister. The chief minister wants to avoid suspicion and have other ministers review them instead, and then submit them to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. There are even too many memorials to impeach the chief minister, and the chief minister has to take it upon himself to explain in the memorials, or simply wait at home to wait for the truth to come to light, and then he can continue to work after he is innocent.

However, Wen Tiren still went his own way. Except for the memorial that impeached him, he still had to review other memorials, which made some people unhappy.

"Chief Assistant, you see some people don't know what's going on. So many memorials have already been issued. If you don't avoid suspicion, I'm afraid there will be more memorials. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Emperor to do anything by then!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he raised his head and looked at his assistant Cheng Jiming. Seeing his worried look, he chuckled and said, "If they want to say it, let them say it. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he can naturally distinguish right from wrong, so there is no need to worry!" "

"..." Cheng Jiming was speechless after hearing this, feeling that this was not something that the cunning chief assistant could say! Could it be that he is greedy for the power of the chief minister and is reluctant to let go?

"Old man, just wait!" He couldn't help but curse in his heart, but on the surface he looked worried for Wen Tiren, but he didn't say anything more and went to work.

One day later, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, took a eunuch with him and held several large stacks of memorials, and hurriedly went to see Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, these memorials are for the impeachment of Wen Shoufu, Xue Ge Lao, Governor Yansui and others. The public sentiment is fierce, and the servants dare not backlog. Please read it to your Majesty!"

Although Cao Huachun did not know the true situation of the Battle of the Grassland, he naturally knew more about the emperor than others outside. Therefore, although so many courtiers attacked Wen's chief minister's line, he still maintained a neutral stance and even slightly favored the chief minister's approach, and appropriately brought it up to the emperor.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't bother to read the memorials, and told Cao Huachun: "My eldest companion, record all these personnel events, and select the ones who caused the most ferocity and the ones who spoke the most violently for me to review!"

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen had revoked the authority of the imperial censor to report events. Now it seems that they still do not take this matter seriously and are still doing things in the same old way. Just take advantage of this incident to kill the chicken and scare the monkey!

Also, when it comes to important matters in the imperial court, those people not only fail to make plans, but instead take the opportunity to cause trouble and delay things. If the original Emperor Chongzhen had no independent opinion, a big victory would turn into a big defeat for them. This situation also needs to be dealt with. Cured.

After handling the matter, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group again to see the situation. But Li Dingguo sent a private message to report the itinerary, saying that the victory documents would arrive in the capital tomorrow. Haha, it's my turn to get angry, otherwise I'll really be thought of as someone who's easily fooled, and I'll have to let them remember it for a long time!
