Regarding the theory that the name "Wolf Cavalry Army" mentioned in the book review section is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty army, Bones also believes it. However, "Iron Buddha" is the name of the Jin Army. If it is used directly, it seems slightly inappropriate. Here
, readers, please leave your opinions on the name of Shi Dayong’s army in the book review area. Bones will choose one of them to correct the name of Shi Dayong’s army.
As soon as Wen Tiren finished speaking, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the whole hall. Chongzhen's face was instantly cold to freezing point.
The festive atmosphere in the hall disappeared almost in a second, replaced by silence and disbelief.
"Why don't I know whether what Wen Qing's family reported is true?" Chongzhen asked almost sternly, and all the officials could hear clearly that the emperor's tone was very unkind.[
The Ming Dynasty valued literature over military affairs and used literature to govern military affairs. The purpose was not to prevent military generals from taking over power and committing treason. Therefore, for more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, military generals have always been suppressed by civilian officials. Never mind the case of Shi Dayong who put a prefect under house arrest and robbed a city.
It is not allowed to use the power to kill civilians indiscriminately, even to mobilize troops without permission. Once verified, regardless of the reason, it will be regarded as rebellion. If what Wen Tiren reported is true, what Shi Dayong did was extremely audacious, and it is not even fair to say that he has wolf ambitions.
Pass.
With the lessons learned from Yuan Chonghuan, Chongzhen no longer trusts anyone who leads troops, whether civil servants or military generals, as long as he does not touch the secrets in his heart. If he does, he will be killed without mercy. No matter how big your heart is, you will be killed.
The greater your merits, the more you will be killed. This is not to shock the master with your great achievements, but to kill one person as a warning to others, once and for all. If all the generals leading the army are like Shi Dayong, local officials will not be taken seriously.
If they wantonly abuse the people under their rule, then they are no longer worthy of trust. Such disasters caused by soldiers who are not soldiers, and bandits who are not like bandits have occurred endlessly for thousands of years.
Learn from those who have gone before and learn from those behind.
If a warrior is domineering, he must be killed to avoid future troubles.
But what Chongzhen hates most now is not that Shi Dayong is in Jinzhou Fatian, but that he has been kept in the dark after so long. If Wen Tiren hadn't reported it, he wouldn't have known that Shi Dayong had done this in Jinzhou.
Something that goes against the grain.
"Zhou Yanru, tell me why I don't know about this!"
Chongzhen's angry gaze was directed at Zhou Yanru, who looked confused and shocked. The chief minister was so shocked that he knelt down with a thump and squeaked: "Your Majesty, my lord." He squeaked several times in succession, but nothing came out.
I couldn't say it. Not only was I shocked, but I also hated Wen Tiren to the core. It was in vain that he had always trusted Wen Tiren, but the other party had secretly tricked him! At the same time, he was wondering: If what Wen Tiren said was true, why didn't Qiu Hejia report it to the court?
"Xiong Mingyu, tell me!" Chongzhen's anger was directed at Xiong Mingyu. In his opinion, Xiong Mingyu was an official of the Ministry of War, so it was impossible that he didn't know what Jinzhou Army General had done.
"minister"
Xiong Mingyu also couldn't say a word. He really didn't know about this, so where should he start?
"snort!"
When he asked, neither of them knew. Chongzhen was furious. He swept his eyes from the faces of the courtiers in the palace one by one. The officials he glanced at all lowered their heads. No one dared to look into the emperor's angry eyes.
None of the officials stood up to explain to him, and all of them were obedient. Chongzhen was so angry that his heart suddenly burst into anger, and his face turned red from being too angry.
Si Xi, the little eunuch standing under the imperial steps, was so frightened that he dared not say a word. He secretly raised his head and glanced at the emperor. He found that the emperor's face had become flushed, and he could still hear the emperor's heavy breathing. He secretly
I was panicking, knowing that the emperor was really angry.
The little eunuch could find that Chongzhen was really angry, and the officials could naturally see it clearly, but no one dared to raise his head and speak. The emperor would be very angry. If he answered a question incorrectly, it would burn the emperor's anger.
If it's on your own, you can't get anything out of it.
All the ministers were frightened by what Wen Tiren said, and were shocked by the audacity of Jinzhou General Shi.
"My dear friends, why don't you speak? Why, do I look scary?"
Looking at the courtiers who were kneeling all over the hall, Chongzhen laughed angrily. The corner of his mouth turned up, and he actually smiled a little.
However, the more he behaved like this, the more panicked the officials became. They did not even dare to secretly glance at the emperor's expression. They all lowered their heads, wishing they could disappear from the emperor's sight.[
Officials who were familiar with Chongzhen's character knew that the emperor was about to have a seizure. Sure enough, that faint smile only appeared on Chongzhen's face for a moment. After a while, his face darkened again and he said angrily:
"It's a shame that I trust you so much and leave all the important affairs of the country to you, but it's better for you to hide everything from me, tell me nothing, report good news but not bad news! Yes, I want to hear good things and good news,
But I also want to know bad things! Shi Dayong is doing random things in Jinzhou. Why don’t you report such a major thing to me! Why!”
The emperor's wrath is as cold as three feet of frost!
Chongzhen's current appearance is really frightening. All the officials were so frightened that they trembled, and no one spoke out to touch this bad luck.
As the first assistant, Zhou Yanru was in the most panic at the moment, and his heart fell into the ice cellar. He knew that Wen Tiren would not make nonsense without any basis. It seemed that this matter was probably true. In this way, his first assistant was very serious.
He has neglected his duty, and if the emperor takes the blame, he will be the first to be held accountable.
Wen Tiren, Wen Tiren, you are trying to replace me, Zhou Yanru thought.
The main hall was eerily quiet, with people kneeling all over the place in darkness, but not a word could be heard.
Chongzhen has experienced similar scenes many times. Every time he has no choice but to get angry with these courtiers, but there is nothing he can do. But this time, he can no longer tolerate it. Just like Yuan Chonghuan that time, he
The bottom line must not be touched by anyone.
He slapped the imperial desk with a heavy palm, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Okay, if you don't say anything, I will fire you all!"
Total revolution?! The officials were shocked.
Wang Chengen, who had just come in from the back of the palace, was also startled. He hadn't figured out what was going on yet. But his mind turned quickly and he knew that the emperor was speaking angrily. Someone had to smooth things over, otherwise the situation would continue like this.
, How amazing. He secretly pulled Si Xi and winked. Si Xi hurriedly whispered what Wen Tiren said about what Jinzhou General Shi Dayong had done.
Wang Chengen listened and thought about how to persuade the emperor.
When Zhou Yanru and He Ruchong saw Wang Chengen entering the palace, they secretly looked at him for help.
Wang Chengen thought about it for a while, and when he had something to say, he tiptoed to the imperial case, knelt down respectfully, and slowly said: "Long live your anger, please don't get angry. Maybe the officials really don't know
That's why we didn't report the Jinzhou incident to Long Live in time. I'm sorry for my words, but if Mr. Zhou and the others really knew about it, they would definitely report it to the emperor immediately. There was no way they would have kept it secret until today, let alone today.
I report it to Long Live at this critical moment." After saying that, he glanced at Wen Tiren intentionally, but Wen Tiren remained calm and composed.
When Wang Chengen came to the rescue, Zhou Yanru immediately raised his head and vowed: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what Shi Dayong did in Jinzhou. Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou, did not report it to the court, nor did Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong.
There has been a report, so whether this matter is true or not still needs to be investigated. Based on what Wen Tiren said, I think it still needs to be considered."
"I also think that whether the matter is true or not, we need to send people to investigate in detail! One-sided words are not trustworthy." He Ru Chong, who did not miss the opportunity, also followed up with a hidden edge in his words.
This time, Wen Tiren did not speak. He looked at Chongzhen in the palace as usual, and did not refute Zhou Yanru and He Ruchong with any reason.
After listening to Wang Cheng'en and Zhou Yanru's words, Chongzhen's anger subsided a little. He also felt that this incident was strange, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about what Wen Tiren said. If what Wen Tiren said was untrue, wouldn't it be wrong for him to get angry in front of all the officials like this?
It chilled the hearts of Jinzhou soldiers.
After pondering for a moment, Chongzhen suddenly raised his head and said to Wang Chengen: "Xuan Shi Dayong platform calls for the right."
