Chapter 1591 Emperor Chongzhen who was scolded and happy
In the early morning, the sky was gloomy and there was fluffy snow. Chang Yu glanced at Zhu Cixiang who was sleeping next to him and turned over to get up. When he opened the door, he saw several guards walking back and forth in the corridor with swords in their hands. When he saw him coming out, he quickly saluted: "Sir,
Commander Jia is back and is waiting for you below."
Jia Waixiong was drinking mutton soup in the lobby of the inn. Hearing Lao Jiu and others talking about what happened last night, he couldn't help but feel excited when he heard that he had passed by Gu Junen: "Jin Yiwei is so careless in his work. He has been staring at her for so long.
Little did he know that the old fox was right next to him and he slipped through the net right before his eyes..."
"Don't let the brothers of Jinyiwei listen to these words, it will easily give you chills." Chang Yu came down from upstairs: "It is extremely rare that they can do this. At least we people in Dongchang have not done this." Jia Waixiong said:
People quickly stood up and said yes.
"How is your work going?" Chang Yu walked to the table and sat down, inviting the waiter to also order a bowl of mutton soup. Jia Waixiong had broken it into pieces half a month ago. Chang Yu took a step forward to lurk along the way to monitor the suspicious target.
Last night, he was at a big market in Nanguan Village, twenty miles away. He missed the excitement but was not idle either. But after Chang Yu pulled out the nails at Sanwankou, he immediately ordered him to take action and clear the spirit stones to Huo Huo.
All suspicious targets on the road to the state.
Lingshi is a hundred miles away from Huozhou. There are four or five suspicious strongholds on the mountain roads on the way. Sanwankou and Difficulty are the two biggest ones. Jia Waixiong stayed up all night and rushed to see Chang Yu to report.
Oral confession.
While talking, Chang Yu drank up a bowl of mutton soup, and asked for another bowl before he finished: "The store's craftsmanship is very good, let's get some for all the brothers."
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. There were three to four hundred people, and at least ten sheep would earn a lot of money.
"It's not bad money." Lao Jiu laughed and said, "We, the Governor, will treat you to this meal."
But the store is short of sheep!
But having money is easy to do, so the shopkeeper hurriedly sent the clerk to the village to buy sheep.
At noon, Zhu Cihong woke up leisurely. He was a little surprised to see that he had slept until this hour. When he went downstairs to have dinner, Chang Yu was nowhere to be seen. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the Fen River opposite the inn. It was snowing and windy outside. What was he doing at the riverside?
?
Meditate
On the bank of the Fen River, Chang Yu was wearing a raincoat and staring at the calm water for a long time. There was no one else behind him except Qing Yi. At least there was no one else in sight. Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu were both gone. They went to try their luck into the mountains to capture Gu Junen.
.
Heavy snow closed the mountain, and Gu Junen's hasty escape would leave many clues. Chang Yu gave Lao Jiu and Jia Waixiong ten days to catch the best ones. If they couldn't catch them, he would lead his team to Pingyang Mansion to meet up.
"Qingyi, I have never listened carefully to your story. Tell me about it today." After a long time, Chang Yu turned around and looked at the little Taoist nun with sad eyes.
"Uh... Pindao, I, there's nothing wrong with me." Qing Yi was thinking about something when he suddenly became startled.
"Tell me about your life in the Taoist temple, tell me about your master, brothers and sisters, etc." Chang Yu smiled faintly, took out the huozhezi from his arms and grabbed some hay and firewood to light. Qingyi also helped to collect firewood and set up the fire.
Follow your master...
In the inn opposite, the two people stood plainly at the window looking at the river. Then they looked up at the snowflakes flying freely in the sky with a wry smile on their faces.
Snow is also falling in Beijing, but the wind is very strong, and the people on the street can't help but shrink their necks and speed up. However, Emperor Chongzhen on the Qianqing Gate in the imperial city is arrogant and unfazed.
The wind and snow were blowing on his face, and his eyes passed over the houses in the distance and then looked at the sky: "That kid is wild-minded, and I haven't heard from him for a long time."
"Is the emperor talking about the prince?" Wang Chengen, who was behind him, came over and whispered: "The prince must have a letter sent every ten and a half days..."
"I'm talking about that boy Chang Yu. Ever since he took a stinky shit, he can't be seen or heard from. He's really cunning and hateful." Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and Wang Chengen couldn't help but chuckle.
: "Eunuch Chang, cough, Eunuch Chang probably knew that the emperor was there to help him... cough, there was an emperor to help him deal with the aftermath, and Eunuch Chang was also rectifying military affairs and anti-corruption to appease the people, so he might be very busy.
…”
"He is indeed very busy." Emperor Chongzhen nodded. Although Chang Yu had no secret messages with him during this period, the Jin Yiwei sent a lot of information about where he was. He was in charge of military and civil affairs, and even organized a
Of course, the most important thing when it comes to fighting gangs and eradicating evil is anti-bandit spies. Li Zicheng played a big game of chess to disrupt the situation within the country. It is said that the commander is one of the three major military advisers under his account. I wonder if Chang Yu has caught him.
"But this is not the reason for him to become the shopkeeper." Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his head with a look of helplessness: "If the basket he pokes is not blocked for a day, I will have no peace for a day." After hearing this, Wang Chengen also smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yue Qian was in
Chang Yu of Datong suddenly ordered the arrest of the royal family and nobles in Dongchang. He arrested more than ten bigwigs and imprisoned them in Dongchang, causing an uproar in the government and the public. The various forces represented by these bigwigs put pressure on the court and Emperor Chongzhen.
If you want to let him go, you must at least give him an explanation.
Emperor Chongzhen made all the moves and passed the responsibility to Chang Yu. He first stabilized a few big shots in the cabinet and temporarily suppressed the situation. However, undercurrents surged. First, each family tried their best to use all their connections to visit the prison, but no one could get close.
Within ten feet of the Dongchang Yamen, let alone entering the door, rumors spread that Dongchang had secretly executed those people, and the rumors became more and more exaggerated, but the common people loved to hear such conspiracy theories and gossip.
Then every day in the court meeting, there would be courtiers nagging about this matter, and Emperor Chongzhen always dealt with it as if he would make his own decision when Chang Yu returned to the capital.
It gets even more interesting later on. When the courtiers and censors found out that Emperor Chongzhen was always doing Tai Chi, they became angry at the cabinet. They scolded them for being just a decoration and had no control over the emperor at all. They allowed the emperor to act arbitrarily and favor and support treacherous sycophants.
When a tiger is in trouble, it covers the sky with only one hand and acts recklessly...
Of course, the traitor is secretly Chang Yu. The reason why they did not name the scolding is not because they are afraid of Dongchang. The censor is a being who even the emperor dares to scold. Of course, they will not be afraid, but because they feel guilty. After all, Chang Yu's ability and contribution to the government and the public
For all to see.
But you have to vent your anger, so you scold the cabinet for being incompetent, the emperor for being fatuous, and Chang Yu for being arrogant and lawless...
"They scolded me for being stupid and incompetent and letting others manipulate me. Hahaha, I was very angry at first, but when I heard them scolding me for becoming more and more powerful and emptying the cabinet, I was no longer angry. Instead, I was a little happy..." Chongzhen
The emperor couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes: "I ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and have been emperor for seventeen years, but I feel that this year is the only time I am truly emperor."
Wang Chengen was moved to tears when he said this. No one understood Emperor Chongzhen better than him. In the more than ten years since he ascended the throne, he had been unable to control himself every day. Regardless of his innate background of great ambition and lack of talent, he had to step forward in the face of natural disasters and military calamities.
He maintained a huge empire all by himself through hardships and hardships. At that time, there were far more people in the court watching with cold eyes than working hard. He had to take care of things on his own.
If it thunders or rains, you, as the emperor, have to apologize to me, oh no, you have to apologize to the whole world! You are guilty of the crime, practice makes perfect!
This kind of life lasts for more than ten years!
But everything changed from the beginning of this year, and his behavior became hysterical. It was his last desperate move, because he knew that if he continued like in previous years, his ancestral foundation would be ruined. He played cards without following the rules, and the words of the courtiers and the cabinet were ignored.
The one who rarely listens rarely listens to advice, because he holds a trump card: a young eunuch who appears out of nowhere.
But it was this little eunuch who made him hysterical and almost crazy at first, and then gradually became more confident. Now he is a strong presence in the eyes of the courtiers. He no longer needs to act based on the cabinet's face, and he no longer needs to be submissive. With this trump card, he finally made a comeback.
, and turned over and became a real emperor!
"But, it's always annoying to be scolded every day. I can't beat those censors or scold them." Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I just want that kid to return to the capital and clean up this mess. Humph, I have to do it too."
If you clean him up, he will be scolded every day..."
"Your Majesty, those censors' mouths, hey, just ignore them and let me tell you a happy story." Wang Chengen took a step forward: "They are digging potatoes in Tongzhou."
Ah, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed very happy: "Can it be dug so soon? How will the harvest be?"
