Chapter 946: Sudden Change in the Situation (First Update)

Sure enough, on the second day, there was an impeachment of Lu Zhenfei, the second assistant in the imperial history, for trying to trick the emperor into robbing the people of wealth and competing for profits with the people, and brought up Lu Zhenfei's defeat in the last Northern Expedition again, and fabricated several charges.

Lu Zhenfei didn't argue, and resigned at the first time.

Chongzhen rejected Lu Zhenfei's resignation, warmly comforted, and reprimanded those imperial histories.

However, at this time, everyone knows Chongzhen's intentions, and it is just a practice to reject Lu Zhenfei's resignation, after all, Lu Zhenfei is the second assistant of the Wenhuadian University Scholar Cabinet, and he is the backbone of the Qi Dynasty's family, so Chongzhen can't go too far to dismiss him.

But the Donglin officials would not scruple about Chen Yue, the king of Qi, in their eyes, driving away Lu Zhenfei would cut off one of the wings of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, so they flew to the cabinet like more bullet snowflakes.

Of course, there are also a lot of officials in the court of King Qi, although many people chose to change their ways after Chongzhen returned to power, but there are still many who still gather under the command of Lu Zhenfei, who represents King Qi. They also defended Lu Zhenfei and started a court battle with the officials of the Donglin Party.

Just when the Donglin Party officials in the court were trying to drive away Zhenfei, the Ming troops from all walks of life in Fujian withdrew from Fujian one after another and returned to their own provinces.

Wang Yin, the southeastern governor, went to the imperial court and demoted Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, to the deputy general of Quanzhou in the name of suppressing bandits.

Wang Yin ordered the transfer of part of the Jiangxi army and the Dongfan army, combined with the surrender of Ai Nengqi, and reorganized and trained the Fujian New Army, with a total strength of 30,000 troops.

Wang Yin reported to the imperial court about the process of recruiting Ainengqi, and proposed that Ainengqi be the chief officer of the new army.

Ai Nengqi is just a general, for several years, he first followed Zhang Xianzhong to the provinces, and after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he led an army to spread in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces, and conquered most of Fujian, causing the lives to be ruined and committed a lot of crimes.

Therefore, as soon as Wang Yin's recital was sent to Nanjing, it immediately aroused the excitement of the crowd, and the imperial historians began to impeach him ferociously as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Wang Yin was originally a confidant of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, but the identity of a mere person was able to be ranked in the cabinet because Chen Yue was attached to the party, which had long caused the dissatisfaction of all officials. And now he is in charge of the military and political affairs of several provinces as the governor of the southeast, echoing Chen Yue from afar to the south and the north, and the threat to the imperial court is very great. If you don't take the opportunity to pull him down now, when will you wait?

And Chongzhen at this moment is also quite excited, Lu Zhenfei's departure is a foregone conclusion, and if he wins Wang Yin again, Chen Yue, the king of Qi, will lose his wings, which will be more conducive to him controlling the overall situation.

However, just when Chongzhen hesitated, Fujian suddenly changed. Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, sent people 600 miles to report urgently, saying that Ainengqi, who had just surrendered, had rebelled again, enveloped more than 30,000 troops, occupied Yong'an County, and had the potential to attack Yanping Fuzhou!

Chongzhen was shocked, and summoned several scholars overnight to discuss, and Lu Zhenfei, the second assistant who was about to resign from the field, was also called.

"Your Majesty, this is the southeast governor Wang Yin's appeasement and cultivation of traitors, and it is only now in a critical situation. Weichen asked His Majesty to issue an order to immediately take Wang Yin into Beijing to ask for the guilt! Qian Qianyi suggested to Chongzhen.

"No!" Shi Kefa shook his head and opposed Qian Qianyi's proposal, "The troops of the provinces have just returned to their own provinces, and Fujian's troops are extremely empty, and Wang Yin needs to coordinate and mobilize troops to suppress Ai Nengqi. ”

"If it weren't for Wang Yin's unauthorized appeasement of Ai Nengqi and the recruitment of the thief army into the army, where would there be the current situation! Wang Yin is incompetent like this, he has no ability to exterminate the Western Thief, how can he be counted on him? It is better to send officials to Fujian as soon as possible. Qian Qianyi scoffed.

When Shi Kefa wanted to continue to refute, he thought about it and closed his mouth. Someone must be responsible for such a big thing, and Wang Yin, as the governor of the southeast, should bear the greatest responsibility. Thinking about the relationship between Wang Yin and Chen Yue again, Shi Kefa knew that even if he objected, he couldn't change Chongzhen's mind.

In Shi Kefa's heart, Wang Yin was shrewd and capable, and he was really a cadre, how could he make such a low-level mistake? Or is there something else going on? Shi Kefa thought silently.

"What does Lu Ge Lao think?" Chongzhen did not make a decision easily, but looked at Lu Zhenfei.

At this moment, Chongzhen thought a lot in his heart. He was about to think about cutting Chen Yue's wings in the court, but at this time, Ainengqi surrendered and rebelled, was this accidental or artificial? What kind of conspiracy is behind it? At this moment, Chongzhen felt deeply uneasy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Ai Nengqi rebelled again, Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast, is responsible, Wang Yin is no longer qualified for the post of the governor of the southeast, Weichen agrees with what Qian Ge Lao said, please Your Majesty appoint a capable official to replace Wang Yin, and take Wang Yinsuo into Beijing to ask for guilt." Lu Zhenfei said without thinking.

"Hehe" Qian Qianyi looked at Lu Zhenfei with a smile, but he didn't expect Lu Zhenfei's position to change so quickly.

Even Chongzhen was very surprised, haven't Lu Zhenfei and Wang Yin always been close? didn't speak to Wang Yin, how did he fall into the well?

Shi Kefa glanced at Lu Zhenfei thoughtfully.

Since several scholars agreed to take Wang Yin, Chongzhen immediately issued an order to appoint Zuo Maodi, the secretary of the military department, as the new southeast governor to replace Wang Yin in commanding the extermination of the Ainengqi rebels.

At the same time, Chongzhen issued an order to order the troops of the provinces to return to Fujian and re-encircle and suppress the rebels.

"This time, I want to kill all the rebels below Ainengqi to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Chongzhen said viciously, he had just borrowed a million taels of silver from Qianzhuang to reward the meritorious army, and Ai Nengqi actually rebelled again, not to mention that the silver spent was in vain, and he didn't know how much silver taels he would spend next. At this moment, Chongzhen tickled the root of Wang Yin's hatred of Ainengqi!

Back in the cabinet, Shi Kefa invited Lu Zhenfei into his duty room and retreated.

"Jianbai, your performance in the palace today really surprised this pavilion." Shi Kefa sighed.

Lu Zhenfei smiled slightly: "What?" Could it be that Yuanfu thinks that Zhenfei is also a treacherous person who fell into the well? ”

Shi Kefa shook his head: "I believe that you are not that kind of person when you see Bai, but you and Wang Yin have always had a close relationship, even if you don't speak for him at this time, there is no need to suggest taking him down, we all know that once Wang Yin returns to Nanjing, there will be death or life." ”

Lu Zhenfei smiled: "Of course I know this, but how the situation will develop is still unknown, Wang Yin has always been resourceful, and he will not think of a way out in advance." On the contrary, I, if I don't propose to take down Wang Yin today, I'm afraid that I will be the first to be taken down and put in prison! ”

Shi Kefa looked at Lu Zhenfei suspiciously, knowing that there might be many secrets behind all this, and he didn't know about it.
