Chongzhen returned to the warm pavilion under the service of Liu Changfu after dinner.
Because of the cold weather, Chongzhen put the place where government affairs were handled in the warm pavilion.
"Oh, it will be the New Year soon. But I can't be happy!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed, and then slowly sat down beside the imperial case, picked up the red pen on the pen holder and began to review the memorial.
"My lord, as the saying goes: When a sage comes out, the world will be peaceful. The lord is a saint who has not been born for a thousand years. Although the world is a little rough, it will pass soon." Liu Changfu brought a cup of ginseng tea for Chongzhen, and put it on the table. In front of Chongzhen.
"You are a clever talker, making me happy. I know what the world is like. Yesterday, Hong Chengchou, who was suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, wrote a memorial. He said that since autumn, there has been no rain in Shaanxi. The entire Sanqin land is thousands of miles away, and the culprits are about to intensify, and there is a fear of catastrophe, so the court should make plans early."
"Oh, the world is difficult!" Chongzhen sighed, then shook his head, stopped talking, picked up a memorial from the desk and began to review it.
Seeing this, Liu Changfu had no choice but to stand by Chongzhen's side without saying a word.
After a while, Chongzhen put down the ink brush in his hand and looked at Liu Changfu, "You have been to Longmen Fort before, so tell me, what kind of person is this Longmen Fort guard Zhao Wen?"
Liu Changfu was startled, why did he suddenly ask Zhao Wen?
"Returning to the emperor, this Zhao Wen is a rare warrior, he is extremely brave in battle, he dared to fight the Tartars with only a few people, and even beheaded many people.
And not only that, Zhao Wen is also extremely loyal to the emperor. During the days when I went to Longmen Castle, Zhao Wen always said that the emperor is wise.It can be seen that this person is not only capable of fighting, but also loyal.In my opinion, this person can be compared to Yue Wumu. "
Although Liu Changfu did not understand what Chongzhen asked him, this did not affect Liu Changfu's bragging for Zhao Wen.
"Since that's the case, then read this memorial!"
Chongzhen handed over the memorial on the desk to Liu Changfu.
Liu Changfu took the memorial and read it quickly.
But the more he watched, the more frightened he became, until finally, Liu Changfu broke out in a cold sweat.
This memorial is exactly the memorial presented by Yuan Chonghuan.The memorial stated that the Liaodong Jiannu soldiers sent out to Shanhaiguan. This time, it seems that the Jiannu soldiers came out in full force, with the help of the grassland Tartars such as the Chahar tribe. Now the situation is tense, and it is hoped that the imperial court can send troops to help.
I heard that Longmen Fort in Xuanzhen was very brave in defense and had numerous elite soldiers, so I wanted Zhao Wen to come to help.
In short, in a word, Shanhaiguan is about to lose its hold, and the imperial court hastened to let Xuanzhen Longmen Fort be defended.
When Chongzhen reviewed the memorial, he only noticed the words Shanhaiguan urgent and so on, and did not notice the loopholes in it at all.
It stands to reason that even if they are asking for help, they should be asking for other elite soldiers from the Nine Frontiers, not a small garrison.But it wasn't long before Chongzhen became emperor, so he didn't notice the weirdness at all.
Liu Changfu put down the memorial, his head was covered with cold sweat.
If Zhao Wen was transferred away, wouldn't Longmen Fort be destroyed?Aren't those cement factories finished?
Wouldn't his money be cut off in the future?
Moreover, if Zhao Wen is really transferred away, then Zhao Wen will definitely blame himself for not speaking well of himself in front of the emperor. If he is the one to blame, will he still be able to live?
Thinking of the power in Zhao Wen's hands and his fierce methods, Liu Changfu's body couldn't help but start to tremble.
Chongzhen looked at the trembling and sweating Liu Changfu, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Changfu hurriedly said: "My lord, I had a cold a few days ago, and now I'm having an attack, so I'm sweating a little."
"So that's the case, so let's go back to rest first, and let Wang Chengen come!" Chongzhen said expressionlessly.
Feeling relieved, Liu Changfu hastily saluted Chongzhen and walked outside.
Along the way, Liu Changfu's face was full of worry, and he rushed to Cao Huachun's residence quickly.
Liu Changfu looked at the closed gate, and he pushed the door open without even knocking.
Cao Huachun was standing in the room practicing calligraphy when he suddenly saw Liu Changfu who pushed the door open.
"When did you become so unruly? You didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open?" Cao Huachun frowned and shouted dissatisfied.
Cao Huachun didn't care about explaining, so he hurriedly leaned into Cao Huachun's ear and whispered.
After a while, Cao Huachun looked at Liu Changfu solemnly, "Are you serious?"
"Godfather, I just came back from the emperor's place, it's absolutely true."
"Does the emperor agree?"
"I don't know, the emperor didn't say anything."
Cao Huachun began to walk back and forth in the room, "This Zhao Wen must not be transferred to Liaodong. If he is transferred to Liaodong, the cement factory will definitely be ruined. By then, won't our family's annual silver be gone? This is a waste of money." Silver."
"You mean the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet?" Cao Huachun looked at Liu Changfu.
Liu Changfu said: "The emperor just had no expression, just asked me, and didn't say anything else."
"Didn't say anything? Then there is still room for redemption!"
Cao Huachun, who was familiar with Chongzhen, knew that Chongzhen was a quick-tempered person. If he thought something was feasible, he would rarely ask an eunuch, and usually agreed directly on the spot.
Judging from what Liu Changfu said just now, Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't make up his mind.
If he had made up his mind, he would never ask Liu Changfu about Zhao Wen, nor would he let Liu Changfu read the memorial.
"Do you know who submitted this memorial?"
"He came from Liaodong, and he can directly appear on the emperor's desk without going through the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. Who else can he be except Yuan Chonghuan?" Liu Changfu said with a dissatisfied expression.
A look of anger flashed across Cao Huachun's face, "This Yuan Chonghuan thinks he can be lawless with the Shangfang sword, yet he dares to touch our family's money. If he is not dealt with properly, he may not even know how many eyes Prince Ma has. "
Cao Huachun looked at Liu Changfu, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Nuan Pavilion, our family is going to see the emperor!"

Chapter 158 Emperor, Zhao Wen can't be transferred
Cao Huachun led Liu Changfu to the Nuan Pavilion in a hurry. Chongzhen, who was lying on the imperial case and buried himself in correcting the memorial, raised his head and looked at Cao Huachun curiously, "Why is the big companion here?"
Cao Huachun hastily saluted, and then said slowly: "My lord, just now I was dealing with some trivial matters outside, when I suddenly saw Liu Changfu coming out of the Nuan Pavilion.
It stands to reason that Liu Changfu is on duty today. I saw him coming out of the warm pavilion, so I was curious and asked.
Only after this questioning did I find out that someone from Liaodong had submitted a memorial, saying that they would mobilize Xuanzhen Longmenbao to guard Zhao Wen. "
Chongzhen put down the vermilion pen and leaned back on the chair, "You came here just for Zhao Wen?"
Cao Huachun walked slowly to Chongzhen's side, and said intently: "My lord, what do you mean now?"
Chongzhen said: "To be honest, I don't want to mobilize Zhao Wen. This Liaodong swallows millions of taels of silver from the imperial court every year. So much silver is sent to Liaodong, but in the end even Jiannu can't stop it. Daban, tell me, this Is the Liaodong Guanning Army a waste?"
When Cao Huachun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Emperor Chongzhen did not want to mobilize Zhao Wen, so things would be much easier in this way.
Cao Huachun rationalized his thoughts and said: "What the emperor said is true. The Guanning Army in Liaodong is known as the most elite soldier on the Nine Frontiers, but now they want to send the garrison of Longmen Fort to reinforce them. If this word spreads, they are not afraid of being laughed at by others. Could it be that the imperial court throws millions of taels of silver into the sea every year?"
Chongzhen nodded and agreed with Cao Huachun's statement, "Yes, my companion is right. This Guanning Army is called Guanning Iron Cavalry. Why is it that Longmenbao is still being defended for reinforcements now? This is simply a big joke."
"My lord, in fact, mobilizing Zhao Wen is more than that. Think about it, my lord, when Zhao Wen was appointed as the guard of Longmen Castle, he didn't give me anything. No money, no people, no food.
This Longmen Fort was completely supported by Zhao Wen. I heard that Zhao Wen borrowed a lot of money from those merchants in order to repair the Longmen Fort.Now even the debt has not been paid off, if Zhao Wen is transferred to Liaodong at this time, it would be a bit too unreasonable.If outsiders know about it, they will inevitably say that the court is mean, which is really an insult to the majesty of the court.
Moreover, if Zhao Wen is transferred to Liaodong, then the army will at least have to pay the military salary that Zhao Wen has not given to him before. Not money. "
Cao Huachun spoke quickly and carefully analyzed for Chongzhen.
Listening to Cao Huachun's analysis, Chongzhen couldn't help nodding.
"Big Companion is right. I can't let the heroes feel cold. And if Zhao Wen is transferred, the court will indeed spend a lot of money. Now the situation is difficult, so save as much as you can. Besides, I really don't believe a little How many troops can there be in Longmen Fort. With such a small number of troops, I don’t think it will help even if we go to Liaodong.” Chongzhen said slowly, pinching the beard that had not been growing out for a long time on his chin.
Cao Huachun's eyes lit up, he hurriedly made a big salute, bowed and said, "Your Majesty is holy!"
"Okay, let's get rid of this notebook."
Chongzhen handed the memorial to Yuan Chonghuan directly to Cao Huachun, and said slowly.
Cao Huachun took the memorial and tucked it into his sleeve.
Now Zhao Wen's matter is over, but Yuan Chonghuan's matter is not over yet.If you dare to touch your grandpa Cao's money, you, Yuan Chonghuan, will have nine lives?If you don't clean up well today, Grandpa Cao will take your surname.
Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen, and said again: "My lord, I have a doubt that I can't figure out, can you please clarify my doubt?"
When Chongzhen heard this, he laughed, "Cao Daban actually asked me to explain my confusion today? You are a real think tank, why do you want me to explain my confusion?"
"My lord, I'm just a slave. I'm just showing off my cleverness. My lord is the son of heaven and the co-lord of the world. Compared with my lord, I'm really nothing." Cao Huachun patted his horse flatteringly. fart.
Not to mention, Emperor Chongzhen really liked this.
"Then tell me, I'd like to see what kind of problem can stump my wise man!" Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun with a smile on his face.
Cao Huachun bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I just don't understand why the imperial court's military salary of one million yuan was so ineffective after it was sent to Liaodong? How could Jiannu be forced to do so?
My lord, Yuan Chonghuan said in front of the lord that he had been in peace for five years.How long has it been since Yuan Chonghuan has been away, and he has been forced to such an extent by Jiannu? Could it be that Yuan Chonghuan was bragging in front of the emperor before? "
That's right, Yuan Chonghuan said at the beginning that it would take five years to flatten the Liao Dynasty. How did it take such a short time to be forced to this point by Jiannu?
And since Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan has asked for military pay for various reasons.
With such strong support from the imperial court, why is the situation in Liaodong becoming more and more rotten?
For a moment, Emperor Chongzhen thought a lot.
It is often said that the emperor is a creature of power and the most sensitive person in the world to rights.
So this kind of people are very suspicious, even if it is a small matter, they have to break it apart and analyze it to pieces.
"My lord, before Yuan Chonghuan only asked for food and salary, but now why does he want to hire people? Today he wants the soldiers and horses of Longmen Fort, but tomorrow he wants the soldiers and horses of Xuan Town?" Cao Huachun said intentionally or unintentionally.
Cao Huachun's words seemed to be a sigh of emotion, but in Chongzhen's ears, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
That's right, today we want soldiers and horses from Longmenbao, so don't we want soldiers and horses from Xuanzhen Town tomorrow?In a few days, maybe there will be Jizhen and Datong troops?What does Yuan Chonghuan want to do?Do you want to lead your troops to be self-respecting and cede land as king?
Thinking of this, Chongzhen slapped the table fiercely, "This Yuan Chonghuan wants to raise the bandits' self-respect, and wants to take someone from me under the pretext of being a slave.
If you want Longmenbao today, you dare to want Xuanzhen tomorrow, and you dare to want Jizhen and Datong the day after tomorrow.If I follow him and transfer these soldiers and horses to him, I am afraid that it will not be long before he dares to ask me for soldiers and horses from all over the world.
At that time, if I can't satisfy his appetite, I'm afraid the country will be overthrown right before our eyes.
Alright, let me tell you why he wanted the soldiers and horses of Longmen Fort. It turned out that he was trying to test me. "
The more Chongzhen spoke, the angrier he became, until the end, he almost screamed out.
"Okay, okay, this Yuan Chonghuan has a big appetite. No wonder he has been asking me for military pay since he took office. When Sun Chengzong was still in Liaodong, he didn't ask for so much money from the emperor. This Yuan Chonghuan is simply a drunkard. liquor!"
Chongzhen stood up directly from the chair, and walked around in the warm pavilion in a panic.
Cao Huachun looked at the furious Chongzhen, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid Governor Yuan didn't mean that. He should really just want some people."
Cao Huachun's words seemed to excuse Yuan Chonghuan, but his real purpose was to push Yuan Chonghuan into the abyss.
Sure enough, after hearing Cao Huachun's words, Chongzhen became even more furious. He kicked the imperial case, and directly turned the imperial case over, and the memorial on it rolled all over the ground.
The eunuchs serving Chongzhen in the entire Nuan Pavilion hurriedly lay down on the ground, shouting for His Majesty to calm down.
"Cao Daban, you don't need to excuse that Yuan Chonghuan. Only now do I know that this Yuan Chonghuan is simply a wolf's ambition, a wolf's ambition."
Chongzhen was still angry after kicking over the imperial case, he directly pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and slashed at the imperial case.
He looked at Yuan Chonghuan, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Brother, in a few days you will lead Dongchang and Jinyiwei to Liaodong in secret. I want to see, what exactly does Yuan Chonghuan want to do?"
"Your servant obeys!" Cao Huachun's eyes flashed with excitement, he hurriedly knelt on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed.
Although these eunuchs are eggless, the power of this group of people is not small.These people's best ability is to reverse right and wrong. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many civil servants and military generals have fallen into their hands.
Zhao Wen, who was far away on Phi Island, had no idea that such a big event had happened to him. At this moment, he was standing on the construction site of the ferry, looking at the bustling construction site.
Mao Wenlong also ran back from the hinterland of Houjin. This time, with the weapon Zhao Wen gave him, he directly brought back more than 2 people from Houjin.
According to what Mao Wenlong said, thanks to the weapons Zhao Wen gave them, otherwise he would not have been able to bring back so many people.
Relying on the weapon Zhao Wen gave him, Mao Wenlong went directly to the puppet capital Shengjing, and rescued all the Han people who were farming the land for slaves in the manor outside the city.
And those vest soldiers who built slaves only dared to guard the top of the city, not daring to come out.These vest soldiers were really scared by Zhao Wen before, but now when they heard the 56 and a half gunshots, their calves kept shaking.
Those unbelievers who had never experienced it insisted on going out to touch it, but in the end they left dozens of corpses behind, and even the soldiers of Dongjiang Town couldn't touch them.
If it wasn't for the puppet capital, Shengjing, which is high and deep, with cannons on top of the city, Mao Wenlong would still want to enter Shengjing.
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was sitting on the high platform of the big school field in Ningyuan City. He looked at the soldiers practicing in the school field, and his eyelids kept twitching.
It has been almost ten days since his memorial was delivered, but there was no response at all, which really made him a little uneasy.
Yuan Chonghuan never imagined that his memorial would become one of his future crimes under the instigation of Cao Huachun.
In Shengjing City, Huang Taiji was sitting in the Golden Luan Hall. He looked at the silent people in the hall, and asked again: "What do you think about the formation of the Han Eight Banners?"
Dabeile Daishan looked at the silent crowd, and then stood up, "Khan, I don't agree with the establishment of the Han Eight Banners!"
The Han Eight Banners were established in the sixth year of Chongzhen, but now the Houjin troops have suffered a serious loss, and they cannot be replenished for a while.In addition, a few days ago, soldiers from Dongjiang Town went to the Houjin hinterland to wreak havoc and rescued many Han people.It made Huang Taiji feel a little stretched, so Huang Taiji thought about forming the Han Eight Banners to supplement the lack of combat power.
