"Your Majesty, Han Yuanfu, and Li Cifu have returned to the Wenhua Palace." Pang Tianshou returned to the official room cautiously and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "However, their moods are not quite right. Judging from their demeanor,

Han Yuanfu did not listen to everything the emperor said, and Li Cifu seemed a little worried about something."

"Well, I understand."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded in response, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It seemed that he intended to make it clear that he was going to Xiyuan, which had some psychological impact on Han Xu and Li Biao.

It's right to think about it. When Yuan Chonghuan was out of Liaodong, Han Xu, Li Biao, and Qian Longxi were the most obvious supporters of Yuan among the cabinet ministers in the DPRK, especially Li Biao and Qian Longxi who were executed by himself.

It's getting more and more interesting. It seems that I have to plan the follow-up plan earlier, so that I can deal with the Yuan Chonghuan case and ignite all the fires that should be caused.

"Let's go to Xiyuan." Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said with an indifferent expression: "I have some things to solve."

"Here!"

The current layout in Liaodong is gradually gaining momentum. It is time for Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu and other Mao Wenlong's old troops who returned to Beijing to clarify their will to them.

Dongjiang Town is the base for the Ming Dynasty and the coming out of the Ming Dynasty. It is an important place for raiding and suppressing the rebels. The troops and horses stationed under the rule must be of the same faction, either Mao Wenlong's old department or Liu Xingzuo's group.

Taking into account the power of Chen Jisheng, it is impossible to restrain Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other arrogant generals in a real sense.

In order to avoid more powerful enemies after the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen decisively activated Liu Xingzuo, and after sending ministers to Dongjiang Town to read out the corresponding decree, he promoted Liu Xingzuo's younger brother to Beijing to report on his duties. With both kindness and power, Liu Xingzuo must not have thought of him.

Regarding the future layout of Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen will never allow any accidents to happen during this period. As for Han Xu, Li Biao and the others, what else they want to do is not what he needs to consider now. After all, the initiative is in his own hands.

The advantage lies with him, not with the civil servants in the DPRK.

…

"General Liu, Han Yuanfu and others went to the Military Aircraft Department to meet with His Majesty to persuade His Majesty to carefully consider Yuan Chonghuan's case. What do you think?"

Han Jisi frowned and walked into Liu Zongzhou's official room and said in a deep voice: "I am here with the Procuratorate. Am I just going to watch helplessly as the power of factory guards revives in the country?"

As the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, why don't you go with Han Yuanfu and others to persuade His Majesty? The situation in the DPRK and China is not stable at the moment..."

"Vice-Xian Han, are you questioning me?"

Liu Zongzhou, who was in a bad mood, interrupted Han Jisi's question and said: "When Han Yuanfu and others went to the military aircraft office, I didn't know about this.

Sitting back and watching the factory guards rise again is something our Metropolitan Procuratorate will never allow. Vice President Han knows better than anyone what will happen to the lingering poison of the factory guards in the Tianqi Dynasty.

However, due to the influence of the Jianlu invasion, Yuan Chonghuan has betrayed the emperor's favor and betrayed His Majesty's trust, causing our Ming Dynasty to suffer considerable losses. Your Majesty is completely disgusted with Yuan Chonghuan.

Then he was bewitched by the traitors around him and wanted to reuse the factory guards and carry out torture. Did you know that Han Yuanfu and the others went to persuade His Majesty and were severely reprimanded."

"Is this happening?!"

Han Jisi's heart tightened, his face changed slightly, he looked at Liu Zongzhou and said, "Mr. Liu, what exactly is going on? Please explain it in detail."

Liu Zongzhou, censor of Zuodu, Duchayuan.

Han Jisi, the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The two were both high-level officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although they were not from the same faction, Emperor Chongzhen took Yuan Chonghuan back to the capital and returned him to the capital on his triumphant return without the knowledge of the imperial court.

Given such a definition, it caused quite a stir.

In Han Jisi's view, even if Yuan Chonghuan is really guilty and he needs to be tried and prosecuted, that is a matter for the Three Laws Division and should not be transferred to the Jinyiwei Prison. Isn't this a trend of indulging the factory guards again?

Han Xu and Li Biao rushed to the military aircraft office to meet the emperor and were severely reprimanded by Emperor Chongzhen. Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate knew about it, but also the six ministries, six departments, various temples and other government agencies knew about it.

"Bi Shangshu, His Majesty's intention has been made clear beyond doubt."

Prime Minister Sun Ju had a look of worry on his eyebrows. He looked at Bi Ziyan, who was deep in thought, and said, "Yuan Chonghuan cannot escape the blame for being affected by the Jianlu invasion.

The key to the problem now is that His Majesty rebuked Han Yuanfu and the others, and temporarily ignored the court situation on the grounds of appraising their merits and awarding them rewards.

I'm afraid that if His Majesty cannot be persuaded to change his mind later and Yuan Chonghuan is handed over to the Three Laws Division for review, and if Jin Yiwei intervenes, then I don't know how many ministers in the court will be implicated in it."

Bi Ziyan pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "Shilang Sun, this is not the time to talk about this. This time the country was invaded by Jianjun. If His Majesty hadn't personally led the expedition, I'm afraid the losses would have been even greater.

Now His Majesty is obviously angry and has submitted too many memorials to the Secretary of General Affairs, admonishing Your Majesty to uphold the laws and disciplines of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid it will be counterproductive.

In fact, His Majesty's attitude is already very clear. Although Yuan Chonghuan was sent to the Jinyi Guards and imprisoned, he did not order Luo Yangxing and others to examine Yuan Chonghuan.

What our Ministry of Revenue can do at the moment is to clarify the money and food expenditures for this war as soon as possible in the name of the Ministry of Revenue. I feel that your Majesty will intervene in the government affairs after he clears his mind."

The arrest of Yuan Chonghuan caused the minds of many ministers in the court to be entangled in this matter, so that they did not even have the time to deal with their respective government affairs.

However, for Bi Ziyan, recalling the various signs he felt when he met with the emperor before Emperor Chongzhen's imperial expedition, it seemed that Emperor Chongzhen was affected by the Jianlu invasion, and his behavior was very different from before.

"..."

Sun Juxiang frowned, looking at Bi Ziyan who was lost in thought again, he didn't know whether he should say or not say the words that came to his lips.

The divine will is difficult to guess.

It’s really hard to guess the divine will.

At this moment, not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also the Ministry of Revenue and other government offices in the court, many ministers gathered together to discuss what to do next.

Especially for those courtiers who had personal contact with Yuan Chonghuan and who mostly supported Yuan Chonghuan in court, each of them felt extremely complicated and uneasy.

If Emperor Chongzhen really wants to severely punish Yuan Chonghuan, will they be implicated? Will they be reprimanded, demoted, or dismissed...

I thought that the bad things that happened in the Tianqi Dynasty would never happen again in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but the stimulated Emperor Chongzhen's current attitude was that he wanted to reuse the factory guards. What's more important is that the specially-designed
