The court has seemed calm these days, but in private, it is turbulent and treacherous, making people confused.

First of all, Emperor Chongzhen occasionally showed a strange smile when he looked at his ministers, so that the court officials below could not understand them;

Secondly, the memorials of the Censor impeached Jinyiwei and the Dongchang to disturb the people were all kept and not sent.

There were also frequent movements in the Beijing camp, and the empty salary that was first cleared was quickly filled with the soldiers who were short of empty salary.

The military weapons bureau under the Ministry of Works and the military war bureau of the internal supervision, the military weapons bank was checking the inventory of weapons like crazy. From time to time, rumors that a certain adult had even broken his legs because his quality was not up to standard.

For the old fox who has lived in the court for a long time, even if the news is strictly blocked and no relevant information is obtained from the cabinet and various departments, judging from the frequent actions in the capital, it is probably a war. Strangely, I didn’t hear that there was a fight beforehand. Could it be that the emperor wanted to lead the army to conquer Liaodong in person? First, there was Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Qizhen, and now he is Zhu Youjian. Why do the emperors of the old Zhu family like this tune? None of them is worry-free!

Chongzhen didn't care what the ministers thought. What he wanted was officials who could do things obediently. As for the others, he didn't need them for the time being; what the Ming Dynasty needed was not democracy and harmony, but iron blood and dictatorship.

When the boring court meeting ended, Chongzhen hurried to the harem. Before going to court, he learned that Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and his wife Zhang Fengyi were already waiting for the audience in the palace.

The first time I saw the veteran general Qin Liangyu in the Warm Heart Hall, she saw that she was gray in her hair, but she was meticulous in her care, with a graceful face and a bright spirit;

Let’s look at Ma Xianglin, known as “Little Ma Chao”, wearing silver armor, bearded and over seven feet tall. He was born with a tiger’s back and a bearded waist, and his ape’s arms were stretched close to his knees. He was really majestic. Although he was one-eyed, he added a touch of evil spirit out of thin air, which made people dare not look at him. Chongzhen thought to himself, “A good tiger general!”

Chongzhen looked at Ma Xianglin's wife again and saw that she was taller than ordinary women. Although she was not as strong as a strong woman in the army, her face was elegant, and her eyebrows were less weak than the weak attitude of her daughter's family, but she had a little more heroic spirit. Even though she could not compare to the beauty of the world like a sunken fish and falling geese, it made people feel that this woman was really extraordinary.

He helped Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin, who were kneeling down to greet him, and Chongzhen praised Qin Liangyu: "Okay! Good! Good! The children of Ming Dynasty have many ambitions and do not like red dresses and armed forces! With you here, I will be free of worries!"

When Qin Liangyu heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded, I am ashamed of you!"

Chongzhen said: "In fact, what are you afraid to take it or not? Qin's beloved minister should not be too arrogant. This secret order for Qin Qing to lead troops into the capital was actually to entrust all the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty to you."

Qin Liangyu was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Chongzhen handed over the secret report from the Jinyiwei to Qin Liangyu. After his mother and son read it, he said: "Only Jiannu's family members of the Ming Dynasty have obtained the most. However, he did not want to respect the rewards and instead wanted to kill the master, which was very hateful! However, now that the ward is decaying and the national strength is difficult, the land of Liaodong can only be left to Jiannu to rage.

This time I want to ask you to get into the trap, and lead the Tartars to attack the capital, and finally close the door and beat the dog!

I ordered Qin Qing and Bai Gan soldiers to enter Beijing because the Beijing camp and the Five Armies Supervisor's Office were extremely useless. I wanted to entrust the safety of the capital to Qin Aiqing. Bai Gan soldiers could only hold Jiannu for a few days. When the Guanning Army and the Wang army in various places arrived, I would like to teach Jiannu well! Qin Qing must not disappoint me!"

Qin Liangyu was shocked. Such trust in the country's fortune was rare in history. Only the entrusted orphan in Baidi City could be compared with it. Han Wu of Huo Biaoqi supported the Huns with the strength of the whole country, which was inferior to him!

Thinking of this, even though he was a daughter, Qin Liangyu's chest also had a sense of pride and said to Chongzhen: "Don't worry, even if he was fighting against the Tartars, the white-rod soldiers would not be afraid. Now we are guarding the city, and the 30,000 white-rod soldiers I brought are enough to win 100,000 dogs! Not to mention a few days, even a few months!

However, what I saw near the capital was that all the people moved into the city. The capital was large, and the people who moved in, the people who fled and the Baigang Army, and the troops who served in various places in the future, the food in the capital might be supplied? I am afraid that Jiannu will cut off the grain transportation by then, and His Majesty should make plans early."

Chongzhen said: "Qin Qing has no worries. I have been thinking about it for a long time. In order to give Jiannu a heavy blow, I ordered all the factory guards to move the people into the city. I have asked the people to bring the food with me. In addition, there are originally food stored in the capital, which is enough to support the needs of a month.

This time Jiannu is coming, I want to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and extend Jiannu's logistics supplies. I must teach Jiannu a lesson in this Beijing city. I will beat them in pain at one time! I am afraid of beating them!"

Qin Liangyu said: "The wise and wise are nothing better than Your Majesty. I will definitely fight against Jiannu!"

After the meeting and leaving the palace, Qin Liangyu and his son and daughter-in-law immediately returned to the Beijing camp. They practiced without any training every day, and practiced more city defense and street fighting methods, which stimulated the Beijing camp. Zhang Zhiji, a man who was accused of fighting in the Beijing camp, also actively trained without any training, which was quite like fighting with the Baigang soldiers.

A few days later, it was already the fourth day of the October 19th. Chongzhen, who was listening to the censors' bombing in the court, finally heard the news he wanted to hear.

That is the 800-li urgent report from Sun Guozhen, the governor of Denglai:

"The criminal Sun Guozhen risked his life to hear:

On the third day of this month, the bandit Liu Xingzuo gathered more than 5,000 bandit soldiers from the four guards of Jiannu in Fuzhou. In the name of the returning army, they each invaded Denglai on warships. Denglai's soldiers and the guards all sent troops to resist them. However, the bandit soldiers were fierce and powerful, and I was unable to resist and kept losing. I hope Your Majesty will send troops to rescue you. I am responsible for losing my territory, but I am not willing to die. But the people look forward to Your Majesty as children look forward to their parents, so I must save you.

The criminal Sun Guozhen risked his life to worship a hundred times”

Emperor Chongzhen, who knew clearly what was going on, was certainly not panicked, but when he saw the return army, he inexplicably remembered the three words "Returning Group" and couldn't help but thrust on his face. It happened that in the eyes of the ministers, the emperor was already on the verge of furiousness.

Chongzhen showed another expression of shock and anger on his face. He closed the memorial forcefully, threw it down, and said to Wang Chengen: "Read it for them. Let the ministers in the court listen."

When Wang Chengen finished reciting, he knelt down in the court and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down, I am guilty!"

Chongzhen said angrily: "Sincere! Sin! Every time I am guilty! What I want is a solution! I am not apologizing for the crime! If apologizing for the crime is useful, then what else do I need to do? Let's stand up! What I want is not a kowtow bug!"

After the ministers stood up, Wen Tiren came out to report: "Your Majesty, in my foolish opinion, you can order Mao Wenlong, the general of Dongjiang Town, to send troops to Fuzhou. This can cut off the retreat of Liu thieves and support Denglai, so that they can surround Wei and save Zhao."

The Minister of War Cui Chengxiu also came out to report: "Your Majesty, please allow the guards around Denlai to gather in Denlai to support Denlai."

Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, came out to report: "Your Majesty, when the war occurs, the capital will inevitably rot. You can quickly transfer food near the capital to Beijing to prepare for the war."

Another new censor who knew not to die jumped out: "I impeached the governor of Denglai, Sun Guozhen, to lose his territory and humiliate the country, and his crimes should be punished!"

As soon as this statement was made, Wen Tiren and others who knew the inside story had a very strange look at the censor. Those who were not sure about the inside story were looking at him with the eyes of the fool. Denglai was fighting. If the censor wanted to kill Sun Guozhen and force a governor to rebel in front of the formation, then the fun would be great!

Chongzhen took the opportunity to start and said, "I believe in Sun Guozhen, and this is not his crime, so please do not say anything more.

Retreat the court!”
