May all book friends have a harmonious family reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

......

After the secret meeting with Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou sent 800 miles to Beijing to expedite the recital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Because it was sent from Yunnan and Hong Chengchou, Jin Zhijun and Feng Quan, who were on duty in the new cabinet of the Qing court, did not dare to delay and were immediately sent to the palace. Shunzhi, who was discussing the pro-conscription matter with the university scholar and the Minister of the Interior, Sony, heard that it was Hong Chengchou's superiority, and hurriedly ordered him to take a look.

"The minister was appointed as the governor of the five provinces, and he witnessed the withering scene of Yungui and the toast to wait and see, and he could not be forced. This week, Zhou Yi and others in Yuexin supported the puppet Tang Dynasty and supervised the country, and the land of the two Guangxi provinces was reduced to the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, and the lake was eroded, resulting in a shortage of food and grass for the army, and the army's heart was difficult. Jinchen has repeatedly heard that Li Dingguo and other Goubian Tusi, Kai re-entered Guangxi from Jingdong and Liujiang, and joined forces with Zhou Rebellion. The toasts privately awarded the gift seal, made a blood alliance, and waited for the gap to provoke. Therefore, the important places in central Yunnan must be retained by the soldiers, if the army moves lightly, it is bound to secretly conspire, think of its plan, and avoid the real and the virtual. The GIs are far away and cannot be taken care of. And the soldiers who stay in the provincial capital will be difficult to resist, and the ministers will judge the situation and the weight of power, and they will think that when they stay in Pingxi to sit in Yungui, they should not be lightly adjusted. ”

After Shunzhi saw it, he didn't comment, and he discussed it tomorrow.

When Esehei and Sonny retreated, Shunzhi suddenly asked them: "Hong Chengchou's son became the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the puppet Tang Dynasty, do you say that Hong Chengchou is still loyal to me?" ”

Forehead Black and Sonny looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak. Seeing this, Shunzhi shook his head and said to himself: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, don't worry, I don't have the ability to do anything else, and I still can't use people like Emperor Taizong." ”

The next day, when the ministry was meeting, there was Yu Shi Hao Yu on the table to impeach Wu Sangui for supporting the army and respecting himself. This Hao Yu is a native of Dingzhou, Zhili Prefecture, Shunzhi four years of Jinshi, the first director of the Criminal Department, and later changed to the imperial history of Huguang Road, patrolling Sichuan. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Ming army Liu Wenxiu attacked Sichuan, Wu Sangui and Li Guoying were invincible, and intended to abandon Sichuan and retreat into Hanzhong, Shaanxi.

Later, when Hao Yu was stationed in Baoning, he was surrounded in Baoning City by Liu Wenxiu, Wang Fuchen and other Ming generals. As the imperial historian, Hao Yu repeatedly asked Wu Sangui for help, but Wu Sangui ignored it. Hao Yu therefore held a grudge and played him in front of Shunzhi, saying that Wu Sangui would wait and see and not help himself, but he didn't expect Wu Sangui to catch the words "pro-risking arrows" in his article and exile him.

Two months ago, Hao Yu had just been pardoned and returned to Beijing, and he was used as the imperial historian, but he had always held a grudge against Wu Sangui and was always ready to seek revenge, but seeing that Wu Sangui had a meritorious role in pacifying the southwest, he was promoted to the prince of Pingxi, and he was so powerful that he was almost desperate, thinking that there was no hope of revenge for this life, and he didn't want to have a chance but sent it to the door.

Hao Yu impeached Wu Sangui for supporting the army and respecting himself, if the court authorized him to stay in Yungui, he would definitely go to the end of the day and become a big trouble for the Qing Dynasty.

Hao Yu's impeachment was supported by Li Jinping and others, who were also imperial historians, and they also went to the table to impeach Wu Sangui, and even directly aimed the finger at Hong Chengchou, saying that he and Wu Sangui were in cahoots, one inside and one outside; One is for the text, the other is for the military, and they are mutually supportive. The biggest evidence that the imperial historians brought out is that Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were both Ming ministers, and the two are still teachers and students, so Hong Chengchou must be uneasy and kind to invite Fan Yungui for Wu Sangui.

The impeachment of the imperial historians touched the heartstrings of the Manchurian magnates in Beijing, and in their opinion, although Wu Sangui was the prince of Pingxi and his status was extremely noble, he was Han after all. In the eyes of the Han officials, the relatives and nobles of Manchu were originally hostile to the Han people, and the Eight Banners were suspicious of the Han officials who were powerless, not to mention the Han princes who held heavy troops.

Even the old minister Ning Wan, who had no longer heard about political affairs, took care of his sick body, but he did not directly target Hong Chengchou for Wu Sangui's request for Yungui, but expressed his views on Wu Sangui's appointment of local officials in Yunnan without the consent of the imperial court a few days ago.

"The minister read the newspaper of the palace, and saw that the king of Pingxi asked for a promotion to make up for the sparseness, and the deputy envoy Hu Yun and other ten members planned to ascend to various provinces in Yunnan; And the errand Cao is also among them! The minister was amazed. The power of the husband and the country is only the master of the court. From ancient times to the present, there has been no change. That is, the cloud and the new Gui have been opened up, and there is a lack of people; The talents of the vassals were known to the domain; It is also advisable to play first, and after being ordered by Yu Yun, the officials should be ordered to fill the gaps, which is still expedient. It is intended to be used, no different from Quancao! Isn't it also despised and desecrated against the country? The distinction between loyalty and evil among the Fugulai people is nothing more than the respect of a thought. There are years in the history of the domain, and it should be known in general. That is, from the view of the frontier, there may not be a deep heart. However, we should be cautious and take the lead. The body begs for heavenly words, so that the heirs of the domain only strive to forge ahead, and add meaning to the collection. All the power of power should be ordered to the imperial court. Then the gentleman is kind and friendly, and the two are good. ”

Ning Wan's letter to me caused an uproar again, and many imperial historians saw that the old bachelor came forward to support them, and even more boldly wrote to scold Hong Chengchou for being a traitor, and Wu Sangui had great ambitions.

In recent days, Shunzhi has been extremely troubled, and when the news of the fiasco of Luotuo's army came, Tang Ruowang happened to be in the palace, and after coming out, he said to the people around him: "The emperor has completely lost his calm attitude, and he wants to flee back to Manchuria." But the Empress Dowager rebuked the emperor and said how could you give up the country that your ancestors and their courage had earned so cowardly. ”

There is one thing that John Tang did not witness, that is, after he withdrew from the palace in fear, the emperor became more and more furious because of the words of the queen mother, he drew his sword, declaring that he was not a coward, let alone give up his ancestors, he must go out in person, or win to death!

In order to strengthen his belief in pro-conquest, Shunzhi used the sword in his hand to split his throne into pieces. The queen mother was frightened when she saw this, and tried to persuade the emperor to calm down, since the south had suffered a big defeat, the morale of the Ming army must be very high, at this time the emperor was unwise and too risky, it was better to still let the Han ministers deal with this matter as Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo did back then, and delay until things took a turn for the better. Aunt Suma, who came with the Empress Dowager, also tried to persuade the emperor not to conscript in person, but this did not make the emperor even more angry.

Shunzhi is already difficult to ride a tiger, he has already ordered the news of the personal expedition to be announced to the world, the forbidden travel of the eight banners, grain and grass will be ready immediately, at this time I can't go, where will he put his face?

Shunzhi didn't want people all over the world to say that the emperor didn't dare to conquer in person because he was frightened by the defeat in the south, so he made up his mind to do it in person. But the next day, he euphemistically told the ministers that the soldiers and horses recruited by himself were too thin, and whether he could transfer more soldiers and horses.

The southwest side can't be counted on for the time being, originally Shunzhi still thought that he would personally go south, Doni went north from Yungui, and the Taiping army and the remnants of those Shun troops were sandwiched between the two sides, and the two were leveled in one fell swoop, but now with the fiasco of Luo Tuo and Zhao Butai, Doni was unable to go north at all, and even lacked food and grass. The current situation is like Shunzhi leading troops to rescue Doni, since he has always been a minister to relieve the king's danger, but he has never been a minister to relieve the minister's difficulty.

The defeat of Guangxi and the Ming army in the south possessed a Tang Dynasty that had never been heard of before, which made Shunzhi worried and worried. According to the statistics of the household department the day before yesterday, the army has spent more than 9 million taels of silver on military salaries in the southwest, and in addition to the wars in Fujian and Guangdong, it needs to spend more than 10 million taels of silver every year. This amount is half of the total annual income of the Qing Dynasty, and the treasury is already stretched thin, and it cannot make ends meet, not to mention that it is now necessary to prepare the money and food for the emperor's personal conquest of the army. Some officials said that the current state finances are not much better than those of the former Ming Chongzhen.

Hong Chengchou asked the imperial court to let Wu Sangui Zhen Yungui, and Shunzhi was still a little hesitant in his heart. Wu Sangui had previously prevaricated the attack on Burma on the grounds of declining troops, and at that time, it happened that the Taiping army of Zhou had entered Guangxi and captured Huguang, and the Yunnan-Guizhou army could not move lightly, so Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses could not be moved lightly. But now, Wu Sangui has rested for nearly half a year but has not seen him take action, and the Taiping army of Zhou Rebellion is also unable to move west into Guizhou, at this moment, Shunzhi does not need Wu Sangui to capture and kill Zhu Youlang, who has lost his value, but Wu Sangui himself must express himself to the emperor. He is good, and he does not move in western Yunnan, which shows that his intentions are sinister.

Hong Chengchou also didn't open which pot to mention, how could he think of inviting Fan Yungui for Wu Sangui? Could it be true, as the imperial historians said, that he and Wu Sangui colluded with teachers and students, and they were embarrassed? I know that it is not his intention for your son to be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and I also know that you can't save your son, so I still trust you and let you go to Yunnan to help with military affairs and make plans for Doni, but I didn't let you make ideas for Wu Sangui!

Shunzhi was a little angry and felt that Hong Chengchou had failed him. Late at night, in bed, he tossed and turned, and suddenly became a little worried. He was about to go south to personally conquer the Zhou rebellion, but his sons were still young, and if there was anything wrong with the personal expedition, or any turmoil, I was afraid that the Qing Dynasty would not be able to withstand it.

But no matter how worried I am, the matter of pro-conquest is like an arrow on the string, and it will not work if it is not issued.

In any case, this matter is related to the majesty of the emperor and the face of Shunzhi. You must know that at the beginning, he insisted on pro-conscription and forcibly promoted this matter at the Council of Princes and Ministers.

The emperor spoke, and that was Jin Yan.

For the sake of safety, Shunzhi felt that he still had to take some precautions against Wu Sangui, so he summoned Sony, Kupilon, Suke Saha, and Ao Bai to discuss the matter.
