News of the Ningyuan mutiny reached the capital, and even Zhu Youjian, who had always been kind, got angry. He slapped Bi Zisu's memorial on the table and said sternly: "Has the food and salary in Liaodong been allocated in the first half of the year? What's going on with the Ministry of Revenue, and what's going on with Wang Zhichen?"

Zhu Cijing had been prepared for a long time, but he was not angry. He asked curiously: "Oh, the minister of the Liaodong General King, wasn't this appointed by Wei Zhongxian during the late emperor? Isn't he a eunuch party? How could he stay in office until now?"

Sun Chengzong replied with shame: "Your Majesty, this is all the fault of the minister. I don't know what I know. Please punish me."

He felt regretful. In fact, he had long heard that the ministers of the king were good at currying favor with important officials of the court, so he was able to climb to the high position of Liaodong's rule during the period when Wei Zhongxian was in power. However, he was let go of him by several friends of the Donglin Party, and kept him in office. Until now, something happened.

He immediately realized a very serious problem, that is, most of his friends were bribed, or their relatives and friends were bribed, otherwise he would not have come to him for no reason to say good things about the king's minister!

Thinking that the Donglin Party members who regard themselves as honest and honest would be bribed, Sun Chengzong couldn't help feeling bitter inside. The Donglin Party is now different from the beginning and has been slowly corroded by time.

Sun Chengzong knew that it was the problem of Wang Zhimin, but Zhu Cijiu didn't know that, and he also suspected that the Ministry of Revenue.

He comforted: "The payment of this salary has nothing to do with the Taifu, so the Taifu doesn't have to blame himself. We start to investigate from the Ministry of Revenue and continue to investigate all the way to see who embezzled the salary."

Sun Chengzong knew that the Ministry of Revenue would definitely be fine. He knew very well that he was honest and self-disciplined, and was well versed in the way of being an official. He would never make such a mistake.

Sure enough, when he was summoned to the imperial study of Qianqing Palace, he directly brought a receipt to prove his innocence, with the signature and seal of the king's minister, and there was no problem at all.

Now that things have come to this point, there is no doubt that it must be the problem of the king's minister. Sun Chengzong said bitterly: "This matter has arisen because of the humble minister. I am willing to go to Ningyuan in person to appease the rebels and punish corruption. I promise that I will definitely return the emperor to an indestructible Ningjin line of defense."

Zhu Cijing was still thinking hard about how to solve this problem. Yuan Chonghuan, the most suitable candidate, has been left with him for more than half a year. Now he is rashly asking him out of the mountain and must be appointed as the supervisor, otherwise he will not wipe his butt obediently. Once Yuan Chonghuan is reused, the old habit of taking credit and being proud will definitely attack again. In the end, a lingchi execution will inevitably occur, which is what Zhu Cijing least wants to see.

Now that Sun Chengzong is willing to take action himself, it is of course the best.

Zhu Cijiong knew that Sun Chengzong was a more suitable candidate than Yuan Chonghuan, but for a long time, Sun Chengzong was assisting him as a tutor, making him forget that Sun Chengzong was originally the governor of Liaodong and that Ning Jin's defense line was established by him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijing agreed happily: "Then I'll trouble the Taifu. This Ningjin defense line is the foundation of defending the Later Jin Dynasty. There is absolutely no way to lose it. I'll be relieved if the Taifu can go there in person."

Sun Chengzong also suggested: "Weichen also needs to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. We must not stay in Liaodong for a long time. Weichen dared to ask the emperor to arrange two people. With these two people, we can protect Ningjin's defense line."

When Zhu Cijing heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He wouldn't let Yuan Chonghuan be the governor of Ji Liao! He asked carefully: "Which two people are they? The Grand Tutor is okay."

Sun Chengzong bowed and replied: "The admiral of the three military camps, Yuan Keli, was old and polite. He also served as a governor in Liaodong with his weak ministers. If he could serve as the governor of Liaodong, the towns in Liaodong would be as solid as a golden deity. Yuan Chonghuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was originally the governor of Liaodong. If he could take office again, this mutiny would be easily resolved."

When Zhu Cijiu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yuan Chonghuan was not allowed to be the governor of Ji Liao, he was really not a big shot. However, isn’t this guy still farming in Guangdong? The far water cannot relieve the near fire. He couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Isn’t Yuan Chonghuan still in Guangdong? Ningyuan’s situation is urgent, can he come here?”

Sun Chengzong replied awkwardly: "Yuan Chonghuan has been in the Ministry of War for more than half a month, and he can set off with Weichen to Ningyuan at any time."

It turned out that this guy couldn't stay idle anymore, so he came to work himself, saving time on the road. Since he was all in the capital, he was ready to set off. Zhu Cijing hurriedly said, "It's up to the Grand Tutor to make the decision. I just don't know how much money the Grand Tutor should bring?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Cijing felt a pain in his heart. It would be fine if Ningyuan alone had hundreds of thousands of taels. If the entire Liaodong had not paid a salary for four months, it would be amazing. At least three to four million taels were needed to block this pit.

The money confiscated from the eunuch party is really not enough. The three military camps are now 50,000 troops, and the monthly salary is less than 200,000 taels. Just after the Chinese New Year, I allocated five million taels to the northwest. In March, another million tael was allocated to the Ministry of Works. Now there is another big pit in the northeast. If this continues, I don’t know if the more than 40 million taels of silver can last for two years!

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong did not speak loudly, but instead shook his head and said, "There is no need to bring the silver money. I will try my best to recover the silver they have greedy. If there is still a difference at that time, the emperor will give it back."

Zhu Cijiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't need to reissue the full amount, otherwise he would be a little unbearable.

Since Sun Chengzong could go to Liaodong in person, he would not have to worry about the Ningyuan mutiny. He would definitely be able to handle it better than Yuan Chonghuan.

But once Yuan Keli left, the three military camps had no commander anymore. What should I do? Zhu Cijing asked: "Trior, Yuan Keli is the admiral of the three military camps. If he left, what should I do if these three military camps?"

Sun Chengzong had a long time ago, and he immediately replied: "The three camps of the Imperial Guard are collectively called Jingying. They can be divided into three people to command themselves, or they can only have one admiral in the Jingying camp, and they can control the three camps. The emperor can join the Zhongzhen Hou Qin Liangyu as the admiral in the Jingying camp and control the affairs of the three camps of the Imperial Guard."

This proposal was exactly what Zhu Cijiu wanted. The loyalty of the Qin family was beyond doubt. It would be better to hand over all the imperial guards to Commander Qin Liangyu, so he naturally agreed happily.

What happened to the King of Liaodong General Wang? Such a large official can leave a brilliant mark in history, but this King of Wang only has a few fragmented records in history books, which is completely inconsistent with his super-first-class identity!

His predecessors, Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Yingtai, Wang Zaijin, and his descendant Yuan Chonghuan, were not long-form and recorded incredibly detailed. Why did he just mention it here?

There is only one explanation: Qian Qianyi reviewed the records about him when he was majoring in "History of Ming Dynasty"!

Why do you say that? It is impossible to know that Wang Zhichen, a man who is not a eunuch or a Donglin party, can climb to the high position of Liaodong's rule. What's even more amazing is that he actually experienced the two emperors of Apocalypse and Chongzhen without falling. Such a person can no longer be described as versatile. He must be a good person at craftsmanship. To put it bluntly, he is a person who is good at bribing the imperial ruling faction in the court.

He relied on bribing the eunuch party to gain rank. Such people would definitely be replaced immediately when they came to Chongzhen's hands, but he was able to be in charge of Liaodong for more than a year, and was dismissed from office until the Ningyuan mutiny caused by the corruption of the ink and silver. This shows that he must have bribed important figures in the ruling faction under Emperor Chongzhen.

The power in power during the Chongzhen period was the Donglin Party, which means that he bribed an important figure of the Donglin Party, which resulted in him having no life or resume in history books, and even how he became the Liaodong Administration was not recorded. So who was he bribed?

An important figure of the Donglin Party and the life story of a super first-rank official can be deleted. There is only one such person, that is: Qian Qianyi!
