Chapter 648: The ministers persuade

Zhu Cilang had another charge and was proficient in the pretext of orders. Fortunately, it was not considered disrespectful to the orders of the orders, after all, he would not accept the orders of the outside king. Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict to summon the capital was invalidated by Zhu Cilang.

The eunuch eunuch was so scared that he was so bold that he was extremely bold. He ignored the emperor's imperial edict. He was not afraid of being punished by the Emperor after returning to the capital.

It is not really a big blame to be disobedient to the king's orders. As long as you can win a battle, you can make up for your mistakes. If you suffer a defeat and become proficient in your orders, it will be enough for you to drink a pot.

When Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, he wanted to summon Zu Dashou to the capital. Zu Dashou was afraid and didn't dare, so this could not be considered a resistance to the order.

The problem is that now Shanxi is in chaos, and this little prince dares not take the imperial edict seriously. This is frightening. Xiao Guizi is afraid that the prince will kill him and silence him.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang just waved his hand: "You go back to Beijing and tell my father that my son and ministers will not return to the court if they are not upheld. As for this, what is the edict to return to Beijing? Before the bandits are settled, how can we go back to Beijing?"

Zhu Cilang treated Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict as air, and sent the eunuch Xiao Guizi to return home in shame. After returning to Beijing, it caused a stir in the court.

The court officials, this time, sat upright outside the Huangji Hall and collectively advised him. He asked the emperor to issue an order immediately to dismiss the position of Grand Marshal of the World of the Prince of the Eastern Palace.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not show up this time. He was indifferent to the court officials who were shouting outside.

Tian Weijia, the Minister of Personnel, screamed: "Long lively, please open your eyes and see. The ancestors and clans of the Ming Dynasty are all watching in the sky! If you let the prince continue to make trouble like this, Shanxi will be in chaos and the world will be in chaos!"

Tian Weijia was from Raoyang, Hebei and was a Jinshi of Wanli. During the Chongzhen period, he was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Later, he was impeached by Wu Linzheng for stolen goods and was dismissed. In the late Ming Dynasty, he was responsible for the defense of Raoyang and resisted Li Zicheng's righteous army. At the beginning of Shunzhi, his son surrendered to Dorgon and became the Minister of Justice Guan Shigong.

In other words, this is another dog official who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and was appointed as a traitor by the Qing people.

The Censor Jin Guangchen even beat his chest and stamped his feet, knelt outside the Huangji Hall, and howled in pain. It seemed that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cilang, had become the king of the country's destruction.

It was said that it was the capital to pacify the enemy, but the result was that Shanxi was in chaos. The officials did not know the people, and the people did not know the officials. The court completely lost its control over Shanxi, and the inside of Shanxi was even fragmented. Although there was no large-scale war in each county and prefecture, constant friction between each other was inevitable.

Those with great power try to annex the less powerful ones. Those with many soldiers in their hands want to continue to expand their troops. To put it bluntly, these local officials are no different from those of bandits.

Local officials are recruiting soldiers and horses in a grand manner. Under the guise of pacifying the bandits, they searched the landlords and distributed the land. In short, the things that the bandits did that were bribed by people were also declining.

The only difference is that these local officials, under the guise of the Ming Dynasty, suffered the landlords, gentry, wealthy businessmen and great merchants in Shanxi. They all became fish and meat from the government and robbed the big households. If they had food and money, they had to busy expand their troops and strengthen their own power.

The court had no choice but to do so. Because the prince stationed in Shanxi, Zhu Cilang made Shanxi a pot of porridge. The local officials swear and have sufficient reasons. We followed the instructions of the Grand Marshal of the World and His Highness the Prince.

Therefore, the censor Jin Guangchen was wailing in pain and was in pain outside the Huangji Palace. It seemed that he was a straight minister.

In fact, Jin Guangchen is indeed a straight minister. As a censor, it is his lifelong career to make things difficult for others. Such people may not really be to support the world, for the people of Dawn and the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, what they are doing is their own reputation. As long as they impeach, the more they are, the more famous they are.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had no good impression of this Jin Guangchen. On the contrary, Emperor Chongzhen thought about killing him.

Previously, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the censor Jin Guangchen on the platform. Chongzhen stood on the platform, and Jin Guangchen was under the platform. Jin Guangchen deposed Chongzhen's strategy of governing the country to nothing, and did not give face at all. The more Chongzhen listened, his face became ugly, and he gritted his teeth while thinking about how to kill you.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was already full of smoke, and the border was in urgent need of the court to send troops. The military had the position of military supervisor, and its main function was to prevent generals from surrendering to the enemy and rebelling. At that time, the troops were in chaos and no one wanted to go. Chongzhen sent officials to supervise the military, but the official did not leave for three days. Chongzhen had no choice but to send eunuchs. The eunuchs were very obedient and set off that night.

This is why emperors of all dynasties knew that eunuchs were not a good thing to interfere in politics. But in the end, they often valued eunuchs.

Why? Because the emperor found that those ministers were twice as unreliable as eunuchs. After all, eunuchs were more obedient than ministers, so many emperors could not avoid the old path of favoring eunuchs.

At that time, the incident reached Jin Guangchen's ears, and the guy immediately ran away. As a censor, he was a famous troll.

So the big troll Jin Guangchen became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. Chongzhen told him the reason for sending eunuchs. He still refused to give in and competed with Chongzhen, saying, "Even if this is the case, you can't be so irresponsible, please send a eunuch. Do you know that the more you do this, the less those officials will want to go in the future."

At this time, it suddenly started to rain heavily in the sky. The officials were kneeling on the platform, covering their faces with their wide sleeves of official robes to hide from the wind and rain. Everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts. Chongzhen had already endured it hard. This Jin Guangchen was indeed arrogant. If Jin Guangchen didn't kill Jin Guangchen, he would not be Emperor Chongzhen.

The more Chongzhen looked at this guy, the more angry he became. He immediately became furious and cursed on the spot: "You guy, you know what you know. You are so verbose, why don't you go by yourself!"

As a result, as soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, a thunder cracked in the sky, and it was wind and rainy. After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Could it be that God gave me a warning? Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen had to suppress the ignorance and karma in his heart, waved his hand, and let Jin Guangchen retreat. The kneeling official felt relieved.

The ancients linked many things to God, and this thunderclap made Emperor Chongzhen secretly frightened. Jin Guangchen's escape from death was also due to an unwritten tradition of feudal dynasties in history, which was not to kill verdicts. No matter how stupid the emperors in history were, they had few courages to kill verdicts. After all, as emperors, they all care about how they evaluated themselves in history books, and no one wanted to leave an eternal infamous name of "killing loyal ministers indiscriminately".

Of course, this person does not include Zhu Cilang. Zhu Cilang is not ruthless when you should kill you.
