Chapter 42: The Controversy of the Imperial Council

Li Guozhen is dignified, fair and well-proportioned, and he is really a rare beautiful man in the middle-aged honors of Beijing. Although he didn't work weekdays, he also maintained his figure, and he didn't look like an incompetent general. At this moment, although he suddenly heard that there was chaos in Beijing, Li Guozhen, who had led the Beijing camp for two generations, was not afraid of such chaos. Hungry soldiers begging for survival, such a thing Li Shouqi has also encountered, it is nothing more than sending someone to kill once, and then it can be solved by giving grace.

As long as Li Qibo, the deputy general of the left side of the Fifth Army Camp, and Zhang Shuchi, the general of the right camp, arrived, understood the situation a little, and then led a few teams of soldiers to rush in, they could be extinguished.

Thinking like this, Li Guozhen also calmed down, and waited for the two people from Fucaifang, who were also not far west of Yongfang in Dashi, to figure out the situation and report it.

Li Guozhen thought left and right like this, and before he could wait for two subordinates, he saw Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, rushing in, with a fierce momentum.

"Uncle Xiangcheng! Ma Shaoyu, a member of the Ministry of War, was deeply involved in the chaos of the soldiers, and was accused of starving the soldiers to survive and asking for military salaries. In this matter, Xiangcheng Boke prepared a strategy, gathered all the men and horses, and immediately sent troops to quell the chaos? Chen Xinjia rushed in, and he was questioned with a loud question.

Although Chen Xinjia is not a jinshi, he is a genuine civil official. Li Guozhen was overwhelmed by such momentum and the identity of the other party, and said a few words, his brain was sweating, but he could only vaguely say: "This matter...... The last general is still scrutinizing, scrutinizing...... I heard that the thieves are just trying to make money, and the right post of the fifth military camp has been getting by recently...... It should be fine...... As for the people, I am calling the deputy general Li Qibo and the general Zhang Shuchi to come over, and I think it will be solved soon......"

Just as Li Guozhen was fooling around with Chen Xinjia, he saw that his henchman Li Yingshu was in a hurry, and he ran to Li Guozhen's ear with an anxious face and whispered a few times.

When Li Guozhen heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth: "Welcome in!" ”

After a while, I suddenly saw Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, walking in slowly, and said straight to the point: "Li Qibo, the deputy general of the left and right, and Zhang Shuchi, the staff general, are trapped in the camp and can't get out. Ben Hou happened to be in the Shenji Battalion, so he was punished and the Shenji Camp was not chaotic. Now the soldiers and horses of the Shenji battalion have blocked the chaotic soldiers at the Desheng Gate. It's just that...... The two generals can't get out of the chaos no matter what, and they can't go to other places. ”

When Chen Xinjia heard this, his face suddenly changed.

When Li Guozhen heard this, he was even more dizzy, and he was almost about to fall. The housekeeper on the side reacted quickly and hurried to help.

Not two.

Li Guozhen said weakly: "Three thousand battalions ......"

Chen Xinjia shook his head slowly. The 3,000 battalions were used to set up the guard of honor, and they are still in the hands of the eunuch Wang Chengen. Not to mention that the 3,000 battalions are already weak, let's just say that under Wang Chengen's command, which one has the courage to fight against the rebels? For the already weak military attache Xungui, he did not dare to speak out against the slaves of the Son of Heaven.

Now, Li Guozhen's minions are blocked in Deshengmen and cannot be quelled. Xue Lian's soldiers even wanted to prevent the chaos in Deshengmen from spreading.

This also means...... This situation was beyond the control of the three people present.

"I can't hold it down...... Chen Xinjia sighed: "Princess, go to the palace." ”

At the same time, Chen Xinjia silently added a sentence in his heart: "If you can't solve this matter, you are ready to wash and wipe your neck......

The wolf smoke of the Wudewei camp was ignited, and the people of Jiaozhongfang closed their doors and guarded their homes, trembling. After the starvation of the Beijing camp was in turmoil, the prisoner of Shangguan, and the matter of kidnapping Langzhong could no longer be suppressed, he quickly put it on the desk of Emperor Chongzhen.

At this point, the capital was shocked, and the imperial city shook.

"Jingying...... The striking words ...... chaos should be in Zhu Youzhen's eyes, revealing a great murderous intention.

But it is useless to have a killing chance, Chen Xinjia has already explained the current situation one by one. The rebellious soldiers in the Beijing camp almost simultaneously raised the matter, paralyzing the five military camps in an instant, and making the Shenji battalion even weaker.

To put it simply, in a short period of time, the imperial court has lost the capital to win!

As soon as he thought that there were soldiers who rebelled more than ten miles away, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, followed by boundless anger.

"Li Guozhen! You are deeply favored by the emperor, is this how you manage the capital camp? Where did all the food go? Where did I go for 270,000 taels of silver a year? Where is the true color of 100,000 taels? Even the soldiers of the Beijing camp were not allowed to have a full meal? “

"What is the discussion of the Ministry of War? How to solve the matter of Jingying? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen! The rebels are only a dozen miles away, so there is no way to solve this chaos? ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the ministers with three questions in a row, so that everyone touched their eyes and bowed down one after another.

Even Zhou Yanru, the first assistant who hurried over, secretly screamed in his heart that he was unlucky, there were so many things these days. And it is a major event that is beyond the control of the imperial court and beyond his control!

Since the matter is beyond the scope of control, Zhou Yanru, as an old fritter who has been up and down for so many years, naturally quickly changed from passive to active, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of military chaos is a policy, and it is a policy." Since the attack had to be postponed, it was also possible to pacify the rebellion. Moreover, since the household department was confident that it could allocate money and food to the Beijing camp, it must be enough to appease the rebellious soldiers. ”

Zhou Yanru opened his mouth, and Chen Xinjia was naturally busy shaking the pot: "The minister thinks so, and he should give priority to pacifying the security of the soldiers." It's just that I don't know how the household is prepared, can it help? ”

On the side, Fu Shuxun, the head of the household department, and Wang Zhengzhi, the head of the household department, had different faces. Hearing Chen Xinjia speak, Fu Shuxun just wanted to reply, but saw Wei Zhaocheng rushing to make up the knife and said: "With the previous policy of the household department, one person said 300,000 taels, and the other said 500,000 taels." In any case, it should be feasible to pay 100,000 taels first at this moment. ”

"The household department is rectifying, and the allocation will be played according to what was done the day before yesterday, and it will naturally be known in ten days." Fu Shuxun exhaled deeply, spoke slowly, and actually rejected all three of them.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanru, Chen Xinjia and Wei Zhaocheng changed color one after another.

Just when Fu Shuxun was trying his best to calm down.

Wang Zhengzhi's slightly feminine voice said with laughter: "Your Majesty, the minister is playing." The matter of rectification, the minister has never kissed any empirical evidence, and he has never known what hinders the political affairs of the country. The household department is not listed by the court officials, and does not have the right to hear about it. Now the people of the household department are in turmoil, and the subordinates are all panicking, and no one dares to use things with national politics, and there is naturally no way to start the matter of military salary allocation. The minister asked His Majesty to postpone the so-called rectification in order to calm the hearts of the subordinates. The minister can also make a military order, restore the household department overnight, and the minister can allocate the first batch of money and grain no less than 30,000 taels tomorrow, and raise 300,000 yuan of money and grain within ten days! ”

Wang Zhengzhi spoke, and suddenly stabbed Fu Shuxun's vest like a sharp knife.

Hearing this, Fu Shuxun suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his body shook slightly. He could even see the wavering look on Emperor Chongzhen's face.
