Zhou Wenzhen knew that Zhang Mingwei would ask these questions, so he learned about it in detail beforehand and immediately explained it.
After Zhang Mingwei heard this, he had an idea in his mind, and immediately took Zhu Yu'a into the palace to see him.
Needless to say, when he heard that Zhang Mingwei was coming to see him, Emperor Chongzhen immediately put down what he was doing and received him immediately: "Sir, don't worry, Wang Daban's side is almost ready. I'm going to kill four of them at once. See if they still make trouble." Don’t make trouble!”
After Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't come here for this matter. Just now..."
After that, he told Emperor Chongzhen what he had learned, and then expressed his thoughts: "These thieves are robbing people in the capital, and Fangshan County actually resists the decree and refuses to resettle the refugees. If we are not ruthless, If we deal with them ruthlessly and kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, then the imperial decree will not be implemented. In this case, all our plans will be mirrored and the moon in the water will be lost!"
Not to mention, Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand that carefully. He thought it was just some thieves, but he didn't expect there were so many things behind it. He immediately became angry and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will send someone there immediately..."
"No!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingwei said quickly, "Your Majesty, that's what I thought."
Hearing that he still had something to say, Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking and looked at him and listened.
"Although I have learned about ancient wars from books, I have never experienced a real war. Now there is an opportunity to wipe out a small group of thieves. My idea is to let Zhou Yuji lead the troops to encircle and suppress them. I will accompany the army to supervise the army, so that I can learn more about the characteristics of war in this era. In addition, I want to handle the matter in Fangshan County personally!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen hesitated a little and said, "But I can't live without you, sir!"
If Zhang Mingwei is around and you encounter any problems, just ask Zhang Mingwei directly and you will know what to do. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to tell the difference among his subordinates at times.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately said seriously: "Your Majesty, the government's orders are not implemented, and local governments are obeying and disobeying them. This is the loss of the authority of the imperial court and the harbinger of the country's subjugation. This trend must not occur and must be suppressed as soon as possible. And I believe that the Yongwei camp's intervention is just a sledgehammer. It doesn’t take long to kill a chicken and come back.”
Having said this, he thought for a moment and then added: "If the original historical development is followed, Li Zicheng will lead his troops to attack Kaifeng again in May, and this time Kaifeng will be broken; in addition, at the end of the year, the Jianlu army will enter again. Off. These things are urgent. I want to train the troops step by step, but it is impossible. Therefore, understanding the characteristics and details of the current military's fighting and giving full play to the maximum power of the current military is the fastest way to increase the strength of the imperial army. If If possible, it would be best to save Kaifeng and keep Jianlu out of the pass."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, let me handle it then! Local military and political affairs are all decided by me!"
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and said bitterly: "I am killing chickens and monkeys in the capital. Sir, I have gone somewhere. If necessary, I will also kill chickens and monkeys to see who dares to disobey the imperial court."
At this time, Zhang Mingwei's job as a refugee resettlement envoy in the capital was actually still there. Emperor Chongzhen also gave him the King's Order Flag Card. Local officials are not feudal officials. Even if they are ordinary imperial ministers who hold the King's Order Card, if they really find out local issues, they can kill them first and then report them.
Hearing that they had come to their conclusion, Zhu Aona, who had been silent until now, said, "Father, my daughter is going too!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and agreed immediately without thinking: "It's safe to stay with Mr., go ahead!"
So, after the decree was issued, Zhou Yuji immediately began to prepare for the expedition. According to Zhang Mingwei, the sooner the better.
………………
In Jiading Bo's Mansion, Zhou Kui and his son were drinking and having fun, listening to the opera troupe in the manor. It can be seen that they are obviously in a good mood.
In fact, at this time, they did not pay attention to what the troupe was singing, but were talking to themselves, with cheerful expressions, as if they were very happy.
"Look at this situation, haha, it won't be long before the title of Duke of that country will definitely be gone!" Zhou Kui said gloatingly.
"That's right!" After hearing this, Zhou Bian immediately agreed and said with the same gloating, "Isn't this country's dukedom only for refugees to be resettled? Now it's better, the refugee's matter is not over yet, this is bullshit Placement. So many people are going to impeach, let’s see how long the emperor can hold on!”
At this point, he suddenly said with hatred: "That Zhu Ao'ao is really cheating. After all, I am her uncle, but she dares to scold us. I just want to be an earl, and everyone else is the Duke of the country, why doesn't she? To scold?"
"Forget it, leave her alone." Zhou Kui was also angry when he heard this, and immediately said to his son, "It's normal for a woman to turn her arms outward!"
Speaking of this, he thought of something and suddenly asked: "Where is the prince? It seems that there is no news about the prince these days. Didn't he say before that he was going to the south? Why is there no news?"
After hearing this, Zhou Bian said nonchalantly: "That must be just talk. Look, all the birds in the court are fighting against the Duke of Birds. Who cares whether the prince goes south or not? Above the court , hasn’t it always been like this?”
"That's right. That birdman also said that if the victims are resettled as soon as possible, corrupt officials will be punished as soon as possible!" After hearing this, Zhou Kui smiled happily again, "If we don't bring down this birdman, everyone's life will be ruined." It’s not easy, so of course I can’t care about other things.”
We talked, drank wine, ate food, and listened to a play at will. Suddenly, Zhou Bian said to Zhou Kui again: "Dad, it seems that the emperor was not angry about what happened this time, and he didn't send anyone to reprimand us. I think it's funny!"
"What's the show?" Zhou Kui asked after hearing this and not thinking about it for a while.
After Zhou Bian heard this, his interest seemed to be even higher, and he quickly said to Zhou Kui: "The title! Look, the emperor is not angry, what does this mean? It means that he should think that the title given to our family is indeed low!" No, dad, let’s go make some noise again?”
At this point, he put down his chopsticks and added: "Anyway, I've heard that noisy children get milk! No matter what, I want a title, or I won't be able to go out and mess around!"
After hearing what he said, Zhou Kui thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay, let's go to the palace at some time. If we make the palace annoyed, we will get the title! Dad is just an earl now. The price is too low, and dad can’t go out!”
Ever since he was reminded, Zhou Kui really felt that his count was too low!
From the beginning to the end, these two father and son never thought about anything else. They only thought about promotion and promotion. No, during the discussion, Xu Yunchao ran in almost crawling on his feet and said loudly: "The master is not good, someone from the palace is here!"
