On October 27, the second year of Chongzhen, the Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the Zunhua you want, the military center around Santunying."

Wang Chengen was cautious, holding a memorial in his hand, bowed his waist and stepped forward, and said respectfully.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the map of Beizhili that he had hung up had some strange inscriptions and red and blue paint on it, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

In the past few days, it is rare that my emperor has not gone to the Wenhua Palace to manage politics, but has been staying in the Qianqing Palace. Does doing these things have anything to do with the current war situation in Beizhili?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was fascinated by the sight, turned around when he heard the sound and saw Wang Chengen holding the memorial in his hand, standing respectfully.

"Give it to me... me."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, reached out to take the memorial, and started to read it. But when he saw the content above, his mood became worse.

“That’s bullshit!”

Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his anger and cursed in a low voice. Then he looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Daban, where is Sun Chengzong?"

"Go back to your Majesty."

Wang Chengen, who wanted to retreat, felt nervous, stopped in a hurry, bowed his hands and said: "According to Dongchang's report, Sun Chengzong has set off according to the imperial edict and has arrived in Liangxiang area.

The factory guards led by Eunuch Cao were waiting at the Marco Polo Bridge, and after seeing Sun Chengzong, they immediately rushed back to the inner court."

"Well, I...I understand."

Emperor Chongzhen was still a little uncomfortable, with a slightly worried look on his brows. He casually placed the memorial on the table beside him and sighed: "This battle is not easy to fight!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, his head dropped even lower.

The current emergency situation in Zunhua under the rule of the Northern Zhili and the Great Wall defense line north of the Santun River has already made people in Gyeonggi Province uneasy, and the court has also become uneasy.

"Why did you travel through time?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was looking at the map in front of him, frowned and muttered.

For a moment, his thoughts became hazy, and he wished this was just a dream.

When you wake up from the dream, it is gone.

However, the environment in front of him has already verified that he has really traveled through time.

But the current bad situation made him very tired.

Chongzhen, this man who has mixed praise and criticism in Qing history and is extremely controversial, no longer has to suffer, no longer has to be suspicious, no longer has to be deceived, no longer has to replace dozens of cabinet ministers, and no longer has to go through Hanged from a tree with a crooked neck...

He had to endure it all.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary engineering dog who worked part-time as a non-amateur Internet writer. He had a special liking for the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but he never thought that one day he would travel through time.

Possessed by Chongzhen, I am new here, and I feel more hesitant and confused about the future.

After all, this is a completely unfamiliar environment to him.

In my memory, the late Ming Dynasty was an era where cows, horses and snake gods were rampant.

The Donglin Party, party struggles, five years of peace and liberation, the establishment of captives, frequent disasters, and rogue bandits sweeping the world...

These are unavoidable.

The conceptual change from facial expression to concreteness made him feel a little uncomfortable at first.

How did he manage to travel through time safely?

Is it just because I said: I am invincible tomorrow?!

But there is no need to go through the process of building a barbarian border at the beginning. Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners to build a barbarian army, passing through Mongolia, bypassing Yuan Chonghuan who boasted of five years of peace and Liao Dynasty, and the Guanning Jin defense line that he had been operating for many years, and raided the Jizhen defense area of ​​the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Now we have broken through the fortress and entered the territory of Beizhili to intimidate Zunhua!

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen standing with a solemn expression and hands down, Wang Chengen looked worried, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body, right now..."

"The Jianlu Eight Banners were almost beaten right under my nose, so why should I take care of my dragon body?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a irritable mood, turned around, picked up the memorial that he had put down, and shouted in a cold voice: "Those idiots from the Ministry of War!

Do you think that if you hand over any adulterated memorandum to me, you can fool me!?

If this can fool Jianlu away, I will admit it!

fool!

waste!

Why did Ming Dynasty raise these rice bugs!"

"This slave is guilty!"

Seeing his royal father's rage, Wang Cheng'en couldn't help but be shocked. He knelt down on the ground, his body like chaff. Apparently, he had already guessed in his heart that the memorial submitted by the Ministry of War was false.

Looking at Wang Chengen kneeling on the ground, the angry Emperor Chongzhen frowned, looking at the memorial in his hand, his expression became helpless.

The Donglin Party, the Donglin Party, were all pushed to the ground and rubbed hard by Wei Zhongxian. Why are they still so short of memory?

Empty talk harms the country.

Party strife.

With such a situation in the middle of the court, it is no wonder that the tower was stolen by the captives, the small army was destroyed, and the heroes from all walks of life came to the middle tower!

"Get up."

Emperor Chongzhen threw away the memorial in his hand and said to Wang Chengen: "What crime can you, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, have committed? Go and get me a cup of tea."

"This slave obeys your order."

Wang Chengen's body was trembling, and he stood up in a hurry, and walked quickly to the side, holding a tea cup that was still warm.

Emperor Chongzhen took the tea cup, took a swig, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, looked at Wang Chengen and said: "Wang Daban, what do you think the ministers in the court are thinking about right now?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Wang Chengen took the tea cup respectfully and said cautiously.

After all, he is not as good as Wei Zhongxian!

If Wei Zhongxian had not died, I would have saved a lot of worry.

Emperor Chongzhen looked helpless. Looking at the cautious Wang Chengen, he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

My predecessor made too many wrong predictions since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

I have too much faith in the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and the civil servants!

Ignoring Wei Zhongxian and simply and rudely driving him out of the palace, isn't this a failure of martial arts?

Even if Wei Zhongxian is the most powerful person in the Tianqi Dynasty, he can't be killed at once!

it's good now.

I don't even have a useful confidant around me anymore.

The civil servants in the court had lost their intimidating power, and the court was completely out of balance.

The resurrected Donglin Party, relying on the great cause of liquidating the eunuchs, began to control important positions in the government and once again regained the dominance of one party.

The taxes levied by the imperial court have been decreasing year after year, but various expenditures have been increasing day by day. As a last resort, the planned silver payments have been increased!

Given the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn’t doing such a thing just exacerbate class conflicts!?

What's even more irritating is that for a mere few hundred thousand taels of silver, they actually abolished the postmen. A large number of postmen who were eating the royal food became unemployed...

What can't this postman with no way to survive do?

Especially in Guanzhong, these unemployed postmen have worked for the Zhu family for so many years, working hard and without complaint, but in the end they were laid off.

Then don’t you just take your resentment towards the Ming Dynasty and join in the vigorous uprising?

You take away my iron rice bowl, and I make you rebel against the Ming Dynasty!

Very reasonable.

The unemployed uncle Li Zicheng, at this time, is afraid that he will be tossed around and looking for new jobs. In the end, he can't stand the poor treatment of Ming Dynasty and becomes a general under Gao Yingxiang!

"This is calling me the king of subjugation!"

The tired Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly at this moment: "The problem of rogue bandits in Guanzhong has not yet been solved, and now the Jianlu invaders have entered Beizhili again.

It’s been a troubled time! It’s been a troubled time!!”

When Wang Chengen heard this, his face changed drastically and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. If he was not careful, he would be killed.

"Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong has arrived at Qianqing Palace."

Gao Qiqian walked into the palace cautiously, respectfully bowed his hands to Emperor Chongzhen.

coming!

Now if we want to break the situation, not follow the old path, and want to change the structure of the court, only Sun Chengzong can shoulder the burden!
Chapter completed!
