In the capital, the imperial study room of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen is here to pay attention to the grassland war. He knows that a big victory cannot be escaped, but he just doesn’t know what the final result will be?

At this moment, an eunuch reported that Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, asked for a meeting. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen withdrew from the chat group and immediately ordered him to meet him.

Those who come to see each other on their own initiative usually have something to do. Especially when he asked Liu Xingzuo to rest for a few days and asked him to meet him more with his family, there must be something going on. Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and he was a little curious about what would happen to Liu Xingzuo!

Sure enough, Liu Xingzuo was guided in by the eunuch with a serious look on his face. After the ceremony, he immediately presented a memorial and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there are young people in the capital city that have begun to make trouble. I will all investigate on the memorial. Please give me a letter to the general and ask me to go and get people!"

According to the Ming Dynasty system, when the factory guards arrested people, they had to have a letter of a car. That is, the emperor gave the letter of a car, and the letter was stamped by the Lishu. It must also be "subscribed" by the Criminal Department and signed a detailed approval before the person was obtained.

However, this system was slowly destroyed since the Jiajing period, which was also related to the strength of the factory guards. However, Emperor Chongzhen today did not think about destroying him, and still stipulated that the factory guards should arrest people and must strictly follow the system.

The reason for doing this was because he understood that the factory guards were a knife in his hand. This knife was very sharp and if used properly, it would be a great help to his revitalization of the Ming Dynasty. If it was not used properly and lost its constraints, it would probably hurt him in turn.

Although from the present point of view, the Jinyiwei is in the hands of Liu Xingzuo, and the Admiral of the East Factory is Wang Chengen, both of them are trustworthy. But the days ahead are still long, who can ensure that they are loyal and will not be eroded by power?

In fact, if you really talk about it, Emperor Chongzhen did not fully grasp it. And this was the original cause of Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen first ascended the throne, he reused the Donglin Party and banned the factory guards, which was useless. Later, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been through his soul, re-activated the factory guards, and most of them were for investigation and personnel appointments and removals. These were originally directly controlled by the emperor, and it was nothing. However, the position of the Criminal Department was very sensitive. Emperor Chongzhen had not found a suitable opportunity for the more than half a year to replace him with someone he was satisfied with, which could be regarded as a restriction on the life of the factory guards to take people.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen became serious when he heard Liu Xingzuo's words, and immediately took the memorial submitted by the eunuch and started reading it.

It turned out that the Jinyiwei investigation officer learned that there was already a kind of remark on the streets of the capital, criticizing the previous battle of Liaodong.

You should know that Emperor Chongzhen clearly affirmed the war in Liaodong, and even asked the chief minister Wen Tiren to lead civil and military officials to the city gate to welcome the triumphant soldiers. But now on the streets, they are slandering this war, and it is obviously people with ulterior motives who are doing it. Otherwise, ordinary people would never deny this kind of war that has been confirmed.

This kind of ulterior motive statement said that the Battle of Liaodong was actually a speculative move. It was just because the Jianlu army was gone that there was such a victory. And what is the use of winning Liaoyang, Anshan Yibao, etc.? It is not still in the hands of Jianlu, and there is no difference between the result of whether to take it or not.

Also, they said that the Cavalry Camp did not dare to fight Jianlu at all, but they actually didn't have the ability. Otherwise, why didn't they fight Jianlu seriously? Also, if the Guanning Army had not come to pick him up, they wouldn't even be able to escape, so they would have the nerve to say that Liaodong was a great victory!

Emperor Chongzhen was angry as he saw it. He understood that this specious statement was very confusing to some ordinary people who did not understand the truth and could not think about it by themselves. He suppressed his anger and continued to watch the memorial.

Among these remarks, North Korea was even completely surrendered to the Jianlu. The Ming Dynasty lost a vassal state and also relied on the Ming army in Dongjiang. It was said that the Governor Denglai was ineffective in rescue, and that North Korea was plotted against the rebels under the jurisdiction of Governor Denglai, and then fell into the hands of Jianlu.

According to the meaning of these comments on the street, Governor Denglai's war was not only ineffective, but also in fact. The emperor was young and ignorant, and was taken by Governor Denglai and others to a war that was not a victory at all, and it turned into a great victory. The court finally had some money, but it was still used in such exaggerated and falsely taking military achievements. It was really because the court was controlled by treacherous officials.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he couldn't help but laughed angry. These remarks are not as strong as ordinary!

North Korea is a teammate of pigs. He has already warned him from the Ming Dynasty. He has been unable to help him for a while but he still falls without precaution. He is completely unsupported by Adou, who is also blamed on Governor Denglai. This is a slander!

The Cavalry Camp obviously hit Jianlu heavily, greatly weakening the overall strength of Jianlu, and encouraging the confidence of Han slaves in the fallen land of Liaodong, but they were distorted as if they were to take advantage of military merits, as if they could only steal, and they almost almost escaped.

From these remarks, it can be seen that some people even began to attack ministers other than Governor Denglai, such as Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, saying that if such a thing happens, he should be held accountable first. There is also the Master Xue Guoguan who instigated the martial arts to cause trouble, ran around the countryside, and used the excuse of pursuing the owed taxes to make trouble, causing the people to live in poverty. If this kind of thing continues, Shanxi will be in chaos. If the chaos in Shanxi will inevitably cause disaster to the capital, or even the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his anger and continued to read. In the second half of the memorial, the Jinyiwei secretly mobilized the underground forces of the capital, that is, the gangs controlled by Wu Ergou, to verify. The initiator of these remarks could not be found, but from the clues, these remarks may have something to do with some censors and even with important officials. At least among the people locked by the Jinyiwei, there is one censor.

Liu Xingzuo's meaning was to ask his Jinyiwei to arrest the censor first, and use some means in the imperial prison to start investigating the censor.

After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a moment and knew that the spreaders of these remarks were definitely those who had suffered losses in their interests before. After they recovered, they began to counterattack.

He thought about this, looked at the second half of the memorial and sneered in his heart. The ultimate goal of these remarks was probably to the court. He was thinking of overthrowing the chief assistant Wen Tiren, or the assistant minister Xue Guoguan?

I remembered that before, many people had sent memorials to impeach Xue Guoguan for the matter in Shanxi. At that time, he directly announced that he would send these memorials to Xue Guoguan and asked him to check the matter himself to warn them that such impeachment was in vain.

Unexpectedly, seeing that the impeachment was ineffective, they actually knew to start by controlling public opinion and create public opinion to continue promoting this matter!

Haha, I will satisfy you this time! Emperor Chongzhen thought of this with the memorial.

There should be additional updates tonight!
Chapter completed!
