Zhou Yanru saw that Chongzhen's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and his face was solemn, so he knew that his plan had succeeded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hmph, Donglin is powerful, and the emperor wants to rectify Donglin. So what about Qin Shuhuai's power? Doesn't the emperor want to fix him?

Since ancient times, those who have achieved high merit have only one end, and that is death!

Chongzhen groaned, freed from his thoughts, and then said to Zhou Yanru, "Elder Zhou Ge, Qin Shaobao's assassination of the governor, including his collusion with the White Lotus Sect, is a very important matter, and I won't believe it just by your words. If you have the heart, go and check it out. If I find out the evidence, I will definitely deal with him according to the law. As for your sin of being an official, it is useless, so don't mention it again in the future. ”

Zhou Yanru was happy in his heart, but he still had a poignant expression.

He said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is now old and frail, and I am afraid that he will occupy the position of an important minister in the cabinet again, and he will lose the emperor's favor! ”

"I can't say it accurately, so Elder Zhou Ge shouldn't be embarrassed by me. Chongzhen said with a calm face.

Zhou Yanru naturally didn't really want to return to his hometown. Their civil officials pay attention to this, the courtiers repeatedly resigned, and the emperor repeatedly retained, this is a good story of the monarch and the minister, and it will be written into the history books when he goes back.

So Zhou Yanru choked up and said, "So...... The old minister thanked the emperor for his trust. The old minister will do his best for the emperor, and he will die. ”

"Elder Zhou Ge, you are an important minister of the cabinet, and the affairs of the court and the central government are inseparable from your management, I hope you can also take care of your health. ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern!"

"In addition, for the affairs of the three sides, even if you go to collect evidence, whether it is human evidence or physical evidence, since you want to participate in Qin Shuhuai, you must have evidence, right?" Chongzhen said again.

Zhou Yanru nodded hurriedly and said, "The emperor is sage! The old minister will send someone to collect evidence, and he will definitely not wronged Qin Shaobao for no reason." ”

"Okay, you can stand down. ”

"Retire!"

Zhou Yanru went out satisfied.

Chongzhen sat back on the dragon chair, took a sip of tea, and then said to Sun Chengzong, "Teacher Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong asked knowingly, "What do you think?"

"Teacher Sun, don't pretend to be confused, I will ask you about Brother Qin. ”

Sun Chengzong groaned and asked rhetorically, "Does the emperor really want Zhou Yanru to find evidence of Qin Shuhuai's assassination of the governor? If he finds it, what will happen to the emperor?"

Chongzhen said, "The assassination of the trilateral governors is determined by me and Brother Qin, and even if there is evidence, I will make it disappear." However, Brother Qin colluded...... Brother Qin had an affair with the White Lotus Sect, and I wanted to know clearly. ”

Sun Chengzong's mood was complicated. On the one hand, Qin Shuhuai was recommended to Chongzhen by him, and he was happy to see that Qin Shuhuai was so capable, and he had made great contributions in the past six months. But on the other hand, now Qin Shuhuai has indeed developed too fast, and to put it mildly, he has already posed a threat to Chongzhen.

It can be said that he loves and fears Qin Shuhuai.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shuhuai has an affair with the White Lotus Sect, or Zhou Yanru may not be able to say nonsense. ”

"What if it's not nonsense?"

"Then maybe there is another hidden reason, in short, it is inappropriate to conclude that he has any disobedience just because he has an affair with the White Lotus Sect. Let's just take matters into account. ”

"I know that...... If Brother Qin didn't have anything, then I would have chilled his heart by doing this. That's why I asked Donglin to investigate, anyway, Donglin is a mortal enemy with him, so it doesn't matter how you check. If the factory guards were used to investigate, Brother Qin would know that this was what I meant. ”

"Your Majesty. Qin Shuhuai has made great contributions to the emperor, and the emperor should treat him with affection. However, in front of the imperial power, what feelings must be sidelined. Now that Donglin, Qin Shuhuai, and Dongchang can all affect the court situation, it depends on how the emperor balances. ”

Sun Chengzong's intention was to ask Chongzhen to stay in Donglin temporarily in order to suppress Qin Shuhuai.

However, on this point, Chongzhen did not listen to him.

He said categorically, "Teacher, Donglin is already rotten! I have decided to scrape my bones to heal my wounds, and I will never stop for any reason. To deal with Donglin, we still need to proceed according to the original plan. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled with satisfaction, "The emperor is now more and more decisive, and the old minister is very admirable." ”

Chongzhen smiled bitterly and was silent, and his eyebrows were full of worries.

Taiyuan City, Governor's Palace.

Qin Shuhuai slept deeply, knowing that he would only wake up at dinnertime.

After waking up, I had dinner, and then I saw Meng Hu come in with a smile. After he was captured as an "assassin", he quickly transformed himself into a lieutenant general of the Wuyuan Army.

"Helper, guess who we caught in the city?"

"Who?Helian Batai?" Qin Shuhuai asked. Ever since Helenbataean had run away, he had been thinking about it, and he was afraid that the old fellow would come back and get himself into trouble again.

Meng Hu shook his head, "No! It's Wang Hannian! This old boy wants to disguise himself as a civilian and go out, but he doesn't want the whole city to be under martial law now, and no one can enter and leave at will, so he has been wandering sneakily at the gate of the city with a burden on his back. When the brothers who were guarding the gates saw that he was suspicious, they arrested him. ”

"Hehe, this old boy, I almost forgot about him. Qin Shuhuai smiled, and then said, "Bring him in, isn't he very dragged, let me see if he is still dragging now." ”

"Okay!"

After Meng Hu went out in a hurry, it didn't take long for Wang Hannian to carry Wang Hannian like a chicken.

Wang Hannian knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Xia, Xiaguan Wang Hannian, please meet Lord Qincha." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled, looked at Wang Hannian, who was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt and had a sloppy face, and said, "Lord Wang, why did you become like this?

Wang Hannian's whole face turned white.

"Go back to your lordship, the lower officials, the lower officials, ......" stammered for a long time, but he couldn't speak.

"Lord Wang, where do you want to go in such a hurry?"

"Lord Hui Qincha, the lower officials were so panicked that they wanted to go out for a walk. ”

"Carrying a baggage?"

"Baggage...... This ......"

"What are you afraid of, you are the one who blasted Ben Qin out of Taiyuan City, just for this reason, you Donglin Party members can give you a big book, right?" Qin Shuhuai said unhurriedly.

Wang Hannian panicked and kowtowed violently.

"The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty! Please spare the life of a dog for the lower official, please spare the life of the less!"

Qin Shuhuai was disappointed when he saw him like this. Originally, he thought that this Wang Hannian was so conceited, maybe he would scold him and die generously when he saw him, but he didn't expect to be scared like this.

Having said that he has been doing so long, he has never seen an iron-clad Donglin Party member, and he is also defeated.

This sludge didn't have any chewiness at all, and he didn't want to talk about it.

So he said to Meng Hu, "Old Meng, pull him to our Jianghe Gang camp, and it's up to the brothers to decide what to do with him. ”

Meng Hu smiled, "Great, wonderful, I'll take him out of my anger to the brothers." ”

"Keep a low profile, don't make the city full of wind and rain, it's also an official of the imperial court, and it's not like a word to spread it. Qin Shuhuai instructed again.

"Yes, yes! Let's talk to him quietly. ”

Wang Hannian suddenly collapsed to the ground, he knew what the consequences would be if he fell into the hands of those fierce and vicious rough men.

"Shaobao, Shaobao, spare your life! Shaobao, it's a lower official, oh no, it's the little one who has eyes and no beads, the little one shouldn't offend the little one, and the little one knows it's wrong!"

"Hehe, it's too late to know it's wrong. Meng Hu picked up Wang Hannian like a chicken, and was about to go out, but saw Hong Chengchou hurriedly running in.

"Shaobao, Hancheng is besieged, and the lower officials must immediately set off to help Hancheng!"
