On the last day of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's capture of the marquis, the crown prince, and the deputy general of the conquest were finally sent into the Forbidden City at the end of the year. His two most confidant courtiers, Yang Sichang and Li Xin, were impeached one after another, and there is a great possibility that if they don't kill these two people, the world will be in trouble that cannot be cleaned up. It is inevitable that Yang Sichang was attacked by the courtiers, from the defeat of Liaoxi to the defeat of the thieves in the Central Plains, until Xiong Wencan was defeated and died, a wave of Yang in the court was very popular, and this trend also reached its climax after Zhou Yanru entered Beijing and re-entered the cabinet Shoufu.

Zhu Youzhen has a headache and justice for this, Yang and the two are the people he relies on, Zhou Yanru entered Beijing on the day, as the son of the great tomorrow, he bowed to him, and said sincerely and bluntly, "I listen to Mr. in the world..."

The first thing after the restoration of Zhou was to set off a wind of liquidation, and directly stated to Emperor Zhu Youzhen, saying that the internal and external wars were rotten, all because of the unknown rewards and punishments for merit and failure, so he strongly advocated that meritorious service should be rewarded, and those who were guilty must be punished. The spearhead was pointed at Yang Sichang, who was a cabinet scholar and governor of several provincial military and political affairs.

To be honest, Zhu Youzhen was also very disappointed in Yang Sichang himself, but the disposal of Yang Sichang was also related to his own prestige. Especially last year, when the Tartar entered the Kou, he had already heard of it, and it was said that if Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the main battle strategy, it might not be able to penetrate into the entire Beizhili, and it almost spread to Shandong and Henan. Therefore, his argument is to be dealt with lightly.

In the end, Zhu Youzhen couldn't stand Zhou Yanru's repeated persuasion, so he had to nod and agree to Yang Sichang's disposition, and ordered him to be removed from his official position and return to Beijing immediately on the day he arrived. At the same time, under the construction of Zhou Yanru, Sun Chuanting, whom he had always hated, was replaced by Sun Chuanting, who was the governor of the provinces.

As for this, Zhu Youzhen still couldn't stop. Immediately afterwards, the Fengyang Governor participated in the impeachment of Li Xin's rebellious heart and was delivered to the Beijing Division. So the courtiers led by Zhou Yanru once again pointed the finger at Li Xin, originally they looked at Li Xin unpleasantly, but now they were unwilling to let go of the opportunity, and they wrote to demand that Li Xin be arrested and brought into Beijing immediately for questioning.

Only Liu Yuliang, a marginal figure who has been excluded in the cabinet, said a few words of disappointment, "Li Xin has always been able to fight and dare to fight civilized inside and outside the government, if he rebels and rebels, who can lock him back?" ”

The Manchu officials who asked in one sentence were speechless, yes, Li Xin's Three Guards are comparable to tigers and wolves, if this son is really reversed, who can control this person? Liu Yuliang sneered again, and said in a mocking tone: "Not to mention these, Zhang Fangyan, who went south with Li Xin, has the right to control Li Xin, if Li Xin really conspires against him, why didn't Zhang Fangyan's recital arrive, but the Fengyang Governor's recital arrived first?" ”

There are all kinds of suspicious points, Liu Yuliang listed them one by one, and stared at the officials with big eyes. Only Li Shi, the head of the household who had always looked at Li Xin unpleasantly, asked and ridiculed him, "I don't know that Li Xin's thief has already killed Zhang Gelao, and the court will naturally not be able to receive his recitals..."

Liu Yuliang laughed, pointing directly at Li Shiwen's nonsense, without any real evidence, he made such an accusation against a court general who held military power, and broke the public weapon with personal grudges, which was really killable. Li Shiwen trembled when he was scolded by Liu Yuliang, but he couldn't say a word.

Just when the courtiers were arguing about this, Li Xin's impeachment recital also entered Beijing immediately, and Zhu Youzhen weighed the recital of Li Xin, who had just been transferred from the cabinet, his face was full of exhaustion, but his heart was a big stone on the ground.

"It's good now, as soon as the excerpt of the marquis comes, the rumors will be self-defeating, and the long live lord can always be relieved, the old slave, the old slave is also ......" Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the celebrant supervisor, was a little choked up when he said this, and then there was a faint sound like popping beans outside the hall, echoing in the dark and empty hall.

Zhu Youzhen's heart trembled suddenly, tonight is the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, this kind of family gathering festive festivals, there is only a eunuch by his side, he glanced at the piled up on the case, as if a silent sigh appeared in his chest, and lifted the already cold pen again.

To tell the truth, Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian's bullet chapter said that Li Xin's conspiracy and rebellion had a nose and an eye, although Zhu Youzhen protected Li Xin in front of the courtiers, but after all, there seemed to be some strange changes in his heart, which was like a wheat seed that had been silent for a winter suddenly revived at the moment of spring.

According to the system and the stories of the past years, the imperial court will hold various ceremonies in the New Year, but this year it was canceled by Zhu Youzhen on the grounds that the imperial court coincided with internal and external wars, and it was simplified. Not only that, but even the government offices from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month were closed and no longer worked, and the old practice that all officials were on vacation was canceled.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the following cabinet assistants entered the palace to meet the emperor. They were also worried about Li Xin's rebellion, so they didn't even have fun chatting about this year.

What the ministers didn't expect was that Li Xin came with a joint concert of a group of officials in Fengyang City, pointing out that Zhu Dadian, the governor of Fengyang, colluded with He Yilong, the thief of the fifth battalion of the left of Gezuo, to cause trouble in Fengyang City.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and this time even Li Shiwen, who had always been the most active in Li Xin, no longer jumped out to accuse Li Xin. They suddenly realized that there must be something strange in this, if Li Xin is really innocent, wouldn't the pressure exerted by the court on him fall into the hands of thieves? And if the time really proves this nonsense, how can the emperor allow them to remain in the cabinet if they are so reckless?

After saving the heart of self-preservation, several of the most active ministers of Li Xin also kept silent. Liu Yuliang, who has always spoken actively in front of the king, just watched coldly this time, and in the end, Zhou Yanru couldn't look at it, and tentatively put forward a few opinions.

"Since there is an impeachment of a local official, this matter cannot be regarded as nothing, it is better to send a minister with high qualifications to investigate and deal with it." Immediately after that, he changed his words, "Even if the rebellion is nothing, the civil and military disharmony in this place is always inevitable, and the sword and the army will face each other at every turn, and the system will inevitably collapse over time, so the old minister must strengthen the national policy of controlling the military with literature, throughout history, the experience of the martial arts supporting the army and the country is vivid, and there must not be a moment of relaxation......"

Liu Yuliang, who was watching coldly, secretly said that Zhou Yanru was really cunning and cunning, and he didn't mention Li Xin, but every sentence was like a knife pointing at Li Xin's vital point, I was afraid that these words would reach the emperor's heart, and he couldn't help but be unmoved... Thinking of this, Liu Yuliang raised his head and peeked at Zhu Youzhen above Xiang Danqi. However, the sky outside was gloomy, and the candlelight in the hall was scarce, and in the dim shadows, it was impossible to see the joy, anger and sorrow on that face. However, he still felt a chill in his chest and abdomen.

"Sir's words are very true, but this matter will be discussed later, today I only talk about how to deal with Zhu Dadian and Li Xin..." Liu Yuliang sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the emperor is still protecting Li Xin, where is the question of controlling martial arts with literature at the moment, Li Xin is under the control of this governor, only need to cut off the grain and grass in the rear, as a guest army, Li Xin can only starve to death, if he wants to rebel, he may be able to do his best when he is in Shanxi, how to rebel when he is not familiar with Jianghuai, everyone understands such a simple truth, but everyone in this palace has their own thoughts, and they all seem to be unable to see clearly.

If Fan Fucui is here, he should be able to speak up... Liu Yuliang sighed secretly, but unfortunately this old guy was too upright, and the first thing Zhou Yanru did after entering Beijing was to expelle this person from Beijing and send him to the military affairs of the governor of Shandong. Shandong was originally controlled by Yang Sichang, and then got Fan Fucui, who didn't know anything about military affairs, and the disposal of such a stacked bed frame house, no matter how you look at it, is a tune that will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Liu Yuliang set his sights on Zhou Yanru again, this guy is also very shrewd and spicy, and he has already arranged a very appropriate rhetoric, bluntly saying that the collapse of the government and the central government is actually caused by the inaction of the previous chief assistants, so as soon as he took office, he made drastic adjustments to the cabinet and various ministries, and the officialdom of the Beijing division was like a chicken. But because of this, the officials of the various ministries and departments have been unprecedentedly obedient, and the administrative efficiency has been greatly improved, and there is a feeling of a new atmosphere for a while.

In fact, this is just a side effect of cracking down on dissidents, Liu Yuliang secretly sneered in his heart, now it is only a month's work, and the court has almost become Zhou Yanru's hall, is this a good thing or a bad thing? No matter how the officials looked at it harshly, at least in the eyes of the emperor, this was not a bad thing. At least, the emperor gave an edict, and Zhou Yanru gave an order, and the ministries no longer dared to blatantly disobey the yang and the yin, and they were vain and wronged. Once, the emperor even said in public that if Zhou Yanru had been used earlier, the previous vigorous big loan would not have been enough, and the troublesome chickens and dogs would have been stillborn.

The little eunuch suddenly came to Zhu Youzhen's side and whispered: "Long live Lord, the Marquis of Zhenyu hurriedly handed it over, saying that he had caught Zhu Dadian and the thief Shou He Yilong, and he didn't dare to deal with it without permission, and he had already sent someone to escort him to Beijing, and he should be on the road at this moment." ”
