"Lord Chen, Lord Chen!"

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Wei Dezao chased after him angrily and asked, "Master Chen, what's wrong with you?" You have also seen this situation today, only if our colleagues join forces to force the palace, the emperor will definitely give in, and he can definitely bring down Zhu Jie, but why don't you stand up? The two of us started this together! ”

Wei Dezao was very dissatisfied, in the court, Wei Dezao glanced at Chen Yan several times and asked him to stand up, but Chen Yan was like an old monk who had settled down, just ignoring this stubble, Wei Dezao's angry eyes were on fire, and in the end he could not support it alone, so he could only watch the emperor send a decree to retreat from the court.

"Down with Zhu Jie?"

Chen Yan smiled disdainfully, "Lord Wei, you also underestimate Zhu Jie too much, and you also underestimate the emperor's determination to protect Zhu Jie, not to mention that behind the scenes, Empress Yi'an has not yet shown up, and we can bring down Zhu Jie with Du Chan's seven crimes?" It's a joke! ”

Wei Dezao's expression was stunned, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Chen, you can't help but think too highly of Zhu Jie, right?" Why can't you bring him down? ”

Chen Yan shook his head and replied, "Lord Wei, you have to be clear, which of the seven charges that Du Chan took out, except for the Nanjing Mutiny, can stand?" Even if Zhu Jie did it, it was just an inappropriate disposal, don't forget, the emperor gave him the Sword of Heaven and let him act cheaply in Nanjing, don't say, each of these people has a way to die, even if it is a little inappropriate, the emperor has no reason to take Zhu Jie directly! Impossible, you know, Zhu Jie is the only handsome talent in the emperor's mind who can resist the Manchurian Tartars in the future, how could he cut off his arm? ”

Wei Dezao's face darkened suddenly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Since we can't defeat Zhu Jie, why bother with this?" Is it fun? Lord Chen, you are joking with your colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty! Wouldn't it have been said earlier? What are we going to do? Anyway, it was the lord of Nanjing who died, and he had a half-dime relationship with us? offended Zhu Jie in plain death, and was hated by this kid, that is not a joke! ”

Chen Yan replied lightly: "Lord Wei, we naturally have a reason to do this, at least, we have to let the emperor know how unpopular Zhu Jie is among the ministers, and the emperor can't always be so biased towards protecting Zhu Jie, right?" What's more, it's not that we won't be able to defeat Zhu Jie, it's just that there is something wrong with your focus......"

Wei Dezao's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Chen, do you have any other tricks?" ”

Chen Yan smiled and said: "Of course, without diamonds, what are we doing this porcelain work?" ”

"Will the plan be released?" "Your Majesty,"

Chen Yan smiled and replied, "Lord Wei, what the emperor cares about is not what mistakes Zhu Jie has made, nor how big of his mistakes are?" Do those old lords die or not have anything to do with the emperor? How much does the stability of the emperor's country have to do with these lords? It's just a bunch of silverfish, and the emperor never really cares about it; The emperor cares most about whether his country is reliable or not, as long as the imperial power is stable and the country does not fall, he will not listen to the opinions of his courtiers and kill Zhu Jie! When he arrived at a Yuan Chonghuan, it was enough for him to secretly regret it! ”

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Call Lord Li Banghua, the three of us will enter the palace at night, hehe, we will definitely be able to bring down Zhu Jie, the Tianwei Army is already under Zhu Jie's control, even if he does not serve as a supervisor, who can surpass Zhu Jie's influence in the Tianwei Army?" Now he has inserted the elite of the Tianwei Army into the Fourteenth Guard of Nanjing, and reorganized the three towns of Nanjing, this is the most taboo place for him Zhu Jie, all dynasties, that emperor will rest assured that all the elites will be put in the hands of a general? No, absolutely not, you say it's not ......"

"Haha, Lord Chen is really far-sighted and clever......"

Wei Dezao laughed.

In the evening, Chongzhen had just had dinner and was still thinking about today's events, so Cao Huachun ran over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei Dezao, Lord Chen Yan and Lord Li Banghua are asking for an audience outside the palace gate!" ”

"Let them in, won't you?"

Chongzhen really didn't want to see them, but the three ministers couldn't let him see them.

The three of them came to the Qianqing Palace, and Chongzhen asked, "Three Aiqing, what's the matter?" For Zhu Jie's affairs, they all chased them to the palace? ”

Chen Yan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the military affairs are important, and the ministers are not resting all day long, and it is difficult for the ministers to sleep and eat......"

Chongzhen's face was expression, and he replied, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zhenguo Gong went to Nanjing City with hundreds of elite soldiers of the mighty army, and now more than 300 generals at all levels in Nanjing City have been wiped out by Zhenguo Gong, and at the critical moment of rectifying military affairs, the minister thinks that if it is not surprising, he will add all the hundreds of days of mighty troops into the fourteen guards of Nanjing, what do you ......think, Emperor?"

Chongzhen's expression was stunned, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Aiqing, now that the rectification of Nanjing's military affairs is at a critical moment, Zhenguo Gong will not let so many generals in the army be lost all of a sudden, in that case, the officers and soldiers of all departments must be in turmoil, difficult to control, and it is inevitable to supplement the various units of the Tianwei Army into the Nanjing Fourteen Guards, I am afraid that it is an inevitable thing, and only in this way can we complete the rectification of the Nanjing Fourteen Guards and improve the combat power of the Nanjing Fourteen Guards in the shortest possible time, you must also understand that Zhu Jie is alone in Nanjing, In the face of dozens of lords and officials from the Sixth Department of Nanjing, how much pressure and resistance do they face if they want to rectify military affairs......"

Wei Dezao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others were also a little anxious a few days ago, after all, the Nanjing soldiers mutinied, involving the stability of the country, I have to be cautious, and the impeachment of Zhen Guogong is inevitably a little more intense, but, the emperor, even if it is those seven crimes, Zhen Guogong is innocent, but have you ever thought about it, hundreds of generals, just like this, all of them are killed, caught, and the entire Nanjing Fourteen Guards are going to break up......

Chongzhen nodded and replied: "This is definitely yes, Zhen Guogong's actions are indeed a little inappropriate and too radical, but as long as he replenishes the elite strength of the Tianwei Army, it won't take too long to regain control of the ...... of the Fourteenth Guard in Nanjing."

"Your Majesty, here's the problem......"

Chen Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please think, the Tianwei Army was built by the Duke of Zhenguo, and its combat power is extremely strong; Now that Zhenguo Gong has arrived in Nanjing, he has once again inserted his henchmen into the Nanjing Fourteen Guards, with his means, I am afraid that in less than three or two years, the entire Nanjing Fourteen Guards will all fall under his control, the Tianwei Army in the north, the three towns in Nanjing in the south, the emperor, are you not worried at all? This is almost all of the elite combat power of the Ming Dynasty......"
