Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong did not dare to neglect and quickly told him about the scam he had experienced after entering the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

When Sun Chengzong turned his attention to Emperor Chongzhen again.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was already flushed because of his anger.

After slamming his clenched fist on the dragon's desk in front of him, he shouted: "Wai Zheng dared to deceive the emperor. Isn't he afraid that I will conquer his family and destroy his clan..."

"No, I can't stand Wei Zheng playing tricks on the court and playing tricks on me like this... In order to stay in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, he actually deceived the entire court and staged an illusion of being assassinated..."

"Emperor Yiwei, immediately summon Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Embroider Yiwei. I want to take Wei Zheng to the capital immediately and punish him severely... Let him know the price of deceiving the emperor and the emperor..."

The eunuch standing on the side of Emperor Chongzhen was just about to go out to Xuanzhao, but Sun Chengzong, who had kneeled on the ground again, directly spoke to stop him.

"Wait a minute... Please calm down your anger... The Tiger and Leopard Army is no longer the Tiger and Leopard Army half a year ago... Wei Zheng is no longer the Wei Zheng half a year ago... If we go to get people like this, we will not only fail to achieve the goal, but will instead force the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to rebel..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen gradually calmed down.

After waved his hand and signaling the eunuch to return to his position, he asked Sun Chengzong in front of him: "Sun Aiqing... I want to know that Wei Zheng's prestige in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has really reached a point that the court cannot control..."

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong wanted to shake his head and express his negation.

However, the facts he saw in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces told him that he had to tell them about these situations.

After taking a deep breath, he reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Emperor, the criminals can say with certainty that as long as Wei Zheng really decides to rebel against the court, more than 10 million people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, tens of thousands of elite Tiger and Leopard Army, and more than 100,000 garrisons in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, he will definitely follow Wei Zheng unconditionally and rebel against the court..."

"Once such a thing becomes a fact, it will bring a devastating blow to the court..."

"I will report to Your Majesty several discoveries in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces... Today's Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are no longer the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces that were half a year ago..."

It took him half an hour to express what he saw and heard in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces in his words as concise as possible.

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the imperial throne, was already speechless because of his continuous shock.

After a cup of tea, he asked Sun Chengzong with a dull look on his face: "Sun Aiqing, the annual fiscal revenue of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has really reached 30 million taels of silver..."

"Shan and Shaanxi provinces can harvest hundreds of millions of dans of grain tax in just one year..."

"Ten thousand elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers have really been so powerful that they are so powerful that even you, a former veteran of the battlefield, feel scared..."

"In just over half a year, Wei Zheng's prestige in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces has really far surpassed the imperial court..."

In the series of Fan Wenxia in Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, with helpless faces, had to nod and express his affirmation.

Then, he continued to report to Emperor Chongzhen on the imperial throne: "Your Majesty, the old minister is so anxious to return to the capital. In addition to apologizing to the emperor and reporting the real situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. There is another very important reason..."

"In addition to being related to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, this reason also involves the Shandong Governor..."

"According to what the old minister learned from the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the Shandong Governor's Office is carrying out large-scale immigration to Shaanxi... The number of this immigrant is likely to exceed one million."

"More importantly, this immigrant is not a real immigrant. It is a huge human**something..."

"For every five people immigrated to Shaanxi, the governor of Shandong can get one or two silver rewards from the Shanxi Governor's Office..."

"If all one million immigrants enter Shaanxi, the Shandong Governor can get a total of 200,000 taels of silver from the Shanxi Governor's Office."

"If all the 200,000 taels of silver were used to provide relief to the victims, the old minister would not say anything... However, the old minister learned that the Shandong governor planned to use 200,000 taels of silver to form an army, the same army as the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

When he just heard the news that the governor of Shandong was immigrating to Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen, who had just calmed down, became angry again.

In the view of Emperor Chongzhen, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi are already so strong. If we immigrate to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, wouldn’t we further increase the strength of Shanxi and Shaanxi and increase the strength of our enemies?

As the helmist of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen certainly did not want to see such a thing happening in front of him.

Sun Chengzong's next report made his already angry heart even more angry...

One Wei Zheng is enough to upset me. If there is another warlord like Xiang Wei Zheng in the Ming Dynasty, then the entire Ming Dynasty would not be useless, and the emperor would not be completely undermined by these warlords...

Thinking of this, Chongzhen clenched his fist and smashed the table in front of him again regardless of the pain.

"Bang..." A harsh sound just sounded in the hall and echoed.

Emperor Chongzhen's angry voice reached Sun Chengzong's ears: "Shandong Governor, Wei Zheng, neither of these two people can be kept..."

"Immediately issue an order to the Jinyiwei to imprison the governor of Shandong and stop immigrating to Shaanxi..."

"Shan and Shaanxi provinces are so strong that they must not increase their strength..."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In Sun Chengzong's opinion, Emperor Chongzhen did not mention the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and Wei Zheng, and must have been concerned about the strength of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. He listened to his advice just now.

However, just as his expression was relaxed, Emperor Chongzhen's next words made him nervous again.

"As for the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi Wei Zheng and the Tiger and Leopard Army, I cannot let him go..."

"I hold the entire Ming Dynasty in my hand, and Wei Zheng only has two provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi... I believe that no matter how much the two provinces change, it is impossible to fight against the entire Ming Dynasty with the power of the two provinces..."

"In addition, I have the support of all the civil and military ministers in the court... I believe that all the civil and military ministers in the court will definitely come up with a solution that is the best of both worlds..."

After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong in front of him, and his expression was no longer as hot as before.

Because, Sun Chengzong's trip to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces not only did not help him solve any problems, but also caused the court to make a big joke with him because of the false report of the memorial. When Wei Zheng was not assassinated, he rewarded Wei Zheng highly...

Not only that, Sun Chengzong in front of him also brought a series of difficulties and problems to the court...

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen at this moment, Sun Chengzong was no longer his deputy general, but a person who brought him a series of difficulties and bad luck...

In addition, Sun Chengzong was already old, Emperor Chongzhen already had the idea of ​​letting Sun Chengzong go home to take care of his old age.

However, in view of Sun Chengzong as an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, who sighed, did not say it.

He waved his hand and signaled Sun Chengzong to go down first.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had made a decision and planned to put this matter at the court meeting to discuss it, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in his heart. Because, as long as this matter was at the court meeting, there would be many changes.

When facing Emperor Chongzhen alone, Sun Chengzong still had the confidence to convince him. However, when facing the civil and military officials of the court with different minds, Sun Chengzong no longer had the confidence.

Because Emperor Chongzhen had only one idea in his mind, that is, for the sake of the court, for the Ming Dynasty, and for his own dominance. As long as he sees the other party's purpose, he can prescribe the right medicine.

However, when facing civil and military ministers in the court with different thoughts, I couldn't do it.

Although he has a high prestige in the court, as long as he is a minister, he will have political enemies, and he is no exception.

No matter how he persuaded Emperor Chongzhen at the court meeting, those political enemies would oppose him in a tit-for-tat way.

Under such circumstances, with Emperor Chongzhen's suspicious personality, the court would likely take the risk of using force against Wei Zheng.

At this time, Sun Chengzong wanted to work harder, but when he saw the firm expression on Chongzhen's face, he gave up.

After sighing, he had to drag his helpless and exhausted body to slowly leave the palace gate.

What Sun Chengzong did not expect was that as soon as he left the palace gate, the news that he had just left the palace, the eunuch who was regarded as his confidant by Emperor Chongzhen in the palace spread throughout the capital.

At the same time, the content of the conversation between Sun Chengzong and Emperor Chongzhen in the imperial study was also spread out without missing a word.

Luo Yangxing, who received Wei Zhengmi's secret letter, made a decision directly, that is, to take leave to the court and not be able to recover from illness...

The political enemies of Sun Chengzong were like chicken blood, regardless of the night that had already covered the entire capital. They quickly gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures against Sun Chengzong...

Of course, dealing with Sun Chengzong is one aspect, and dealing with the Tiger and Leopard Army and Shanxi provinces is also a problem.

For these civil and military officials, they did not care whether the court was a problem or not, whether the status of Emperor Chongzhen was stable.

In their eyes, the most important thing is their own interests.

As long as they can gain benefits, the safety of the court and the safety of the country will not be taken seriously by them.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to not be jealous of tens of millions of taels of silver in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces a year.

So, at this moment, they also have another goal of discussing, which is how to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to directly use troops to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces at tomorrow's court meeting and take down Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.
