Emperor Chongzhen thought of Hong Chengchou in times of crisis, but Hong Chengchou did not bring him good news.

Except for the battle of Shenzhou that caused the Qing army to bump into a bag and interrupted the hope of the Qing army going west, then it was all confrontation, confrontation, confrontation...

The Tartars divided their troops into Yanzhou, but Hong Chengchou still confronted each other.

He was impatient, had soft ears, and was eager to achieve success in his work. This was a major weakness of Emperor Chongzhen. Now that the old situation recurs again, he sent Zhou Yanru out to see his master at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

How could Zhou Yanru know about military affairs? He was stationed in Tongzhou and did not dare to go. But Emperor Chongzhen was staring at him from behind, so he could only reach Baoding south again. Then he received a series of bad news.

The Qing army went south from Dongpingzhou, Wenshang, Jining and other places one after another. Soon, the troops arrived at the Yanzhou Prefecture City, and the King of Lu in Sizhi City was also afraid of Zhou Yanru. If there was any mistake in Chiyang, the King of Lu would not protect him, and he would be unable to escape the blame.

The last time the Qing army entered the frontier, and the troops conquered Jinan and captured the King of De. The news came out that Emperor Chongzhen was furious. Dozens of implicated civil and military officials all lost their heads, so Zhou Yanru Sizhi was chilling.

But when the house was leaking, it rained all night. Zhou Yanru was worried about the King of Lu in Ziyang City, a manifesto was sent to him. The manifesto was not written in a good way, but it was a pity that cursed Jianlu, which was very comforting to read.

However, after reading the signature of the manifesto, Zhou Yanru felt even more ashamed. He was not in good health and was about to faint at this moment.

Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan families, is this going to seek death?

Zhou Yanru no longer cared about the authenticity of the manifesto, but only worried about the disturbance of the Confucius and Mencius Temple. If the Confucius and Mencius Temple were destroyed, as the chief minister of the cabinet, how could he have the face to stand in the court?

It is good to beg for bones because of illness, but it is not uncommon to die after a sad life.

Just like after Zhang Xianzhong destroyed the imperial tomb of Fengyang, Zhongdu, Emperor Chongzhen wore a filial piety uniform and cried bitterly in the Taimiao for three days, shouting that he was incompatible with the thief army, this all needs to be blamed.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen asked his favorite minister Zhang Fengyi to take charge of the crime. Wang Yingxiong, the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, was dismissed. The Governor of the Grain Transportation Governor Military Affairs, the Governor Fengyang and other departments also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and Right Deputy Censor Yang Yipeng was executed. The Governor Fengyang Censor Wu Zhenying was exiled to the north of the Great Wall. Wang Shisheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was slowly removed from the list for interrogating Yang Yipeng.

So now that the Confucius and Mencius Temple is robbed, how could Zhou Yanru be good? The Emperor of Zhongdu is very important, but who dares to say that Confucius and Mencius are worse than that?

"The enemy soldiers went deep into Qi and Lu, as if they were in a state of no one. If this lasts, how can they be born?" He walked around the study, sighing from time to time.

"Oh, Hong Chengchou, it's really useless. It's too unfair to my high expectations!" Zhou Yanru really added a lot of effort in Hong Chengchou's resurrection. Now that he is in danger, he has pushed all his resentment on Hong Chengchou.

Otherwise? Can you blame him or Yang Wenyue, who has been killed in battle, be powerful?

Li Zicheng did not take advantage of Kaifeng, so he led his army west to Nanyang and conquered Runing. Yang Wenyue was isolated and helpless. The city of Runing was destroyed and died. The rebel army turned to the south to kill.

Zuo Liangyu has fled to the front line of the Yangtze River.

The money fell and the trees scattered, and the bad news was really one after another.

Zhou Yanru himself was incapable of resolving the affairs of the world, but he had the ability to blame others. He also thought of Yuan Chonghuan, who had been cut off for a long time, was all literary generals. Yuan Chonghuan could still fight and retreat to the Qing army and lift the siege of the capital. If Hong Chengchou had half of Yuan Chonghuan's ability, why would the enemy enter the Central Plains like an uninhabited land?

He mentioned a rebuke in his writing, and blamed Hong Chengchou for fear of the enemy and avoiding war, and was unable to make a contribution to the failure of his troops. He really wanted to find someone to replace Governor Hong Chengchou, but he was unable to think of a suitable person.

Zheng Zhilong is a very good candidate. The two sides have cooperated happily. The Zheng family has set up residence halls in many places such as Jiangnan and is very law-abiding. However, Zheng Zhilong is in Qilu.

When the country is in trouble, he thinks of good generals, and when he is a stern person, he knows the truth. Only then did he realize that Lu Xiangsheng is rare.

This morning, as usual, Zhou Yanru got up in the dark, washed up under the maid's service, put on his clothes, and then came to the study to sit quietly. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep anymore.

The desk was filled with documents and reports sent from all over the world. They were like a hill, but there was almost no content that would make him happy.

Some of these documents reported the progress of the Qing army, some reported that local soldiers were short of money and food, and some reported that "the local gangs and unlucky people" made trouble. Zhou Yanru collectively called the peasant army recently initiated by the Northern Zhili, Central Plains, and Qi and Lu provinces the local gangs and unlucky people. There were also reports that the military disasters and disasters were tragic when the army was in the past were tragic. There were all the bad news and no joy was heard.

There are also some local officials who escaped after watching the wind, and some local officials who died in a martyrdom...

He had to read such documents every day, but he really didn't want to read them and didn't dare to read them. Sometimes, he wanted to kick the desk over, because he was really afraid of contacting those official documents that were related to the war and failure.

Now, his mind is particularly heavy. He has not reviewed the documents, but only looked down at the bronze incense burner on the desk.

A young maid held a vermilion gold-patterned tray in her hands, with a jade bowl and a silver spoon on it, and filled it with the stewed bird's nest. She gently walked into the study. Another maid took the jade bowl and silver spoon from the tray and placed it in front of Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru did not even glance at the maids, picked up the silver spoon, looked at the bird's nest in the bowl, and ordered in his heart: I don't know how many days he can drink such treasures in the future.

These are treasures given to Zheng Zhilong, and it is hard to buy money on the market. But what Zhou Yanru is most afraid of now is that he will be put into prison by the emperor. Once Yanzhou and Qufu are in trouble, he will be completely finished.

Slowly finish the bird's nest soup.

It was not until dawn that Zhou Yanru asked people to serve food, including big bowls, small bowls, large plates, and more than ten dishes of soup and water. Zhou Yanru had no appetite at all and only picked up two chopsticks of a few dishes on hand. Most of the dishes were almost brought in and how they were brought out.

Relying on the chair, Zhou Yanru picked up the list of additional positions presented by the governor of Qilu Wang Guobin from under the paper.

This is the leader of the civilian army formed by the prefectures and counties in Qilu in recent days. Before, they surrendered to Xiaoyuan Camp, which was a good way to solve the urgent problem. Now, the names of these individuals are reported, each with their own merits and qualifications. They are really loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

But these are all trivial matters. When they reach this point, what if one person teaches them a real official?

He picked up the list and looked at it several times, his mind was blank. Because this list was the most straightforward reminder to him, the manifesto of the four families of Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan to fight against Manchu...

Oh, Zhou Yanru has a headache. He has no energy and no energy.

The eyes fall on the paper, but the heart does not.

Put down the pen and just think about it. Then the Tartars are not blind, how could they let Confucius and Mencius go?

At this moment, Zhou Yanru's long-time companion came in with a note and placed it respectfully on the desk. Zhou Yanru was afraid that he would have bad military situations or famine again, so he asked suspiciously:

“Which paper?”

"Master, this is the King of Qilu, and Ma Zhongcheng of Fengyang has sent a good news. Time is together." Chang Sui replied. But he felt funny in his heart. What other good news can Wang Guobin and Ma Shiying send? Could it be the bad news under the guise of a good news?

Since November, where have you reported good news whether in Beijing, Tongzhou, or Baoding?

Zhou Yanru's spirit was shocked suddenly, "Good news?" he snatched it, cut the Kaifeng mouth and looked at Wang Guobin first. This is the top priority. Ma Shiying from Fengyang was fighting against Zhang Xianzhong.
