Chapter 155 waves
Emperor Chongzhen returned triumphantly from the imperial army, and as soon as he came to welcome him, he was shaken off by the minister Wang Bang. Yuan Chonghuan, who was very famous in the Ming Dynasty, was arrested and had his character fixed by the emperor. Ministers with a sense of politics knew well in their hearts.
Next, Emperor Chongzhen will try Yuan Chonghuan's case, which will cause quite a stir in the court.
And Sun Zushou was appointed as the Admiral of the Nine Gates due to his meritorious service, taking charge of the defense of the capital, which strengthened the suspicion of those ministers. The crisis of the Jianlu invasion of the Ming Dynasty was resolved, but the emperor had no intention of giving up.
"Duke Zhou, something big is going to happen." Wen Tiren, who returned to the military aircraft from Chaoyang Gate, frowned slightly, looked at Wang Qia, Li Banghua and the others, walked up to Zhou Yanru, and whispered: "
Have you heard that Yuan Chonghuan was taken to prison?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhou Yanru opened his eyes slightly, looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Where did you get the news?"
After hearing such news, Zhou Yanru felt that the matter had become serious, and he was afraid that in the emperor's heart, those who had previously praised Yuan Chonghuan must also be punished.
It's right to think about it. This time the Ming Dynasty suffered such a disaster, the Jianlu people were unaware of it and actually took a detour from Liaoqian to invade the Ming Dynasty. It was not the emperor's wisdom and prowess that he personally conquered the country when the situation was turbulent, and he also made
With corresponding arrangements, if Ming Dynasty does not win this battle, who knows what will happen next.
Zhou Yanru really didn't dare to think about it.
"I have a student who is a distant relative and is a small flag official in Fusi, Beizhen."
Wen Tiren whispered: "Yuan Chonghuan, who was arrested by the emperor, was secretly sent to the imperial prison under the escort of the Yongwei camp. Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was secretly summoned into the palace by the emperor."
"..."
Zhou Yanru's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Wang Qia and Li Banghua who were uneasy, but secretly wondered in his heart what purpose the emperor planned to use Yuan Chonghuan to achieve.
"Gong Zhou, this time Han Xu, Li Biao and the others are afraid that the first and second assistants of the cabinet will be at an end." Wen Tiren said to Zhou Yanru with some excitement in his brows.
"Earlier, when they were in the court, they supported the Yuan faction. Even that time Yuan Chonghuan faked his imperial edict and killed Mao Wenlong, which caused a lot of criticism in the court. But in the end, it was they who came forward to dispel the emperor's suspicion."
"Be careful what you say."
Zhou Yanru frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I should work hard at the military aircraft department and prepare all the memorials."
Years of struggle experience and the intuition in his heart told Zhou Yanru that the next court would inevitably experience turmoil, but in such a situation, all they could do was to do their jobs well.
Zhou Yanru was secretly shocked by the decisiveness shown by the emperor when the imperial troops invaded the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, the emperor relied on the military aircraft department in Beijing and the military aircraft department to guide the front. He temporarily set up the position of assistant minister and asked them to fight against Han Xu, Li Biao, Liu Zongzhou and others. He also arranged for the British official Zhang Weixian and the imperial censor to be in charge.
The eunuch Cao Huachun and the Jinyiwei commander Luo Yangxing check and balance each other to meet the needs of the frontline battle.
Even though Emperor Chongzhen went through thrilling battles on the frontline battlefield, the same was true in the capital city at the rear during this period.
Originally, the ministers in the court thought that the tense atmosphere would be relieved when Emperor Chongzhen returned to the court in triumph. After all, the Ejian captives who invaded the Ming Dynasty were severely wounded and repelled.
But things were obviously not as simple as they thought.
"Yuanfu, what is the emperor's intention in doing these things?" Li Biao was a little excited, with a slight panic in his expression, and said as he looked at the stunned Han Xu.
"Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, and I heard he was taken to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei, and Sun Zushou was promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Nine Gates. Does the emperor want to blame Jianlu for the invasion?
Also, you heard that Sun Chengzong supervised the military affairs of Jiliao and other places, and Lu Xiangsheng also became the governor of Jiliao. This..."
It wasn't just the special military aircraft department that was affected by what Emperor Chongzhen did. At this time, in the Wenhua Hall, the cabinet was also greatly affected.
Compared with before the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, Han Xu, Li Biao and others could clearly feel that Emperor Chongzhen had changed a lot.
"I don't know what the emperor is thinking."
Han Xu sighed softly and said with a worried look on his brows: "We can no longer guess the emperor's thoughts. This time the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, it had a great impact on the emperor.
Yuan Chonghuan was judged by the emperor and was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison. It won't be long before there will be waves in our country."
Han Xu really couldn't understand why the emperor in the past trusted Yuan Chonghuan so much and supported Yuan Chonghuan so much. Why was there such a big contrast just because of the invasion of the Ming Dynasty by the rebels?
Because Han Xu and the others were far away in the capital, they were not very clear about what happened on the front line. Even during this period, Emperor Chongzhen did not ask the military aircraft to report on Yuan Chonghuan's disobedience to the imperial edict and send troops without permission, and issued an explicit edict.
It spread to the capital, so many people were confused about what happened in the meantime.
"Are we just going to wait passively?"
Li Biao frowned and said: "Previously, the Emperor personally led a military expedition, and Duke Qian was just... and was executed by the Emperor. I'm afraid that before that, the Emperor had the intention to clean up the court.
This time Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and imprisoned, it was a trap set by the emperor, but the laws and disciplines of the Ming Dynasty cannot be allowed to be destroyed wantonly by those factory guards.
Even if Yuan Chonghuan is in all sorts of wrongs, he should be handed over to the Tribunal of Justice for trial, instead of being imprisoned in Jinyiwei’s prison and letting the factory guards do whatever they want.”
The news that Qian Longxi was executed by the emperor while he was accompanying him on the war mission was clearly stated in front of the Military Aircraft Department and delivered back to the capital, which caused quite a sensation.
It was also under such circumstances that the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, headed by Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, showed a tough side and forcibly dismissed some officials in the name of auxiliary ministers.
"You're right."
Han Xu, who seemed to have thought of something, became firm and said: "Even if Yuan Chonghuan was wrong in all possible ways and had really done those things, the factory guard should not be responsible for handling the case.
The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not decorations, and our Ming Law and Discipline are also not decorations.
The case of Yuan Chonghuan is not a trivial matter, it involves many levels, and it is impossible to say that it will not be tried by the Three Law Divisions, but transferred to the Jinyiwei Prison."
Affected by the attitude shown by Emperor Chongzhen, Han Xu, as the chief minister of the cabinet, felt very uneasy. If he asked the Jinyi Guards to supervise the case of Yuan Chonghuan, it would inevitably implicate himself, many courtiers, and factory guards.
