In the Martial Meritocrats Hall, after discussing the arrangements for Liaodong.
The other character was also on the table.
"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Shandong Provincial Censor. This memorial is of great importance, please take a look.”
Wen Tiren bowed as his eyes flashed.
Then, Zhou Tingru also looked at him. Their gazes met for a moment before they withdrew.
Chong Zhen frowned slightly and took the memorial handed over by the eunuch to read.
When he saw the contents, his pupils constricted.
The anger in his eyes shocked everyone who didn't know what was going on.
What could make Emperor Chongzhen so furious?
At this moment, Zhou Tingru also stood out and said,"This is Censor Gao Jie's memorial. At first, this subject felt that this memorial was nothing much, but when Lord Wen showed this subject the memorial, I felt that perhaps these two memorials were related.”
After seeing the two of them stand out, Qian Longci, who looked like an old man, suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.
When he saw the smug expressions in their eyes, his heart sank.
He knew that if he wasn't confident, the two of them definitely wouldn't dare to attack him together.
This time, it would probably be very difficult to escape.
When Chong Zhen received the second memorial and read it, his entire body emitted a cold aura.
At this moment, a cold light blossomed in his eyes. It was obvious that he was going to kill someone, and the person he was killing was not simple.
Wen Tiren and Zhou Tingru had established an alliance of offense and defense. Their target was Qian Longci, and their ultimate goal was naturally power.
As the highest authority of the Ming Empire, the cabinet only had so many positions.
If they wanted to enter the pavilion, they naturally had to vacate their positions. (I made a mistake earlier. Zhou Tingru has not entered the pavilion yet. Let me correct that.)）
Qian Longci became their target, but this old fox was extremely cautious. They couldn't find an opportunity at all.
When something happened to one of them, they knew that their chance had come.
And that person was naturally Yuan Chonghuan, who had been imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen.
How could this Yuan Chonghuan be related to Qian Longci, who moved to the cabinet?
This had to start from the relationship between the two.
Qian Longci and Yuan Chonghuan had a good relationship, and everyone in the court knew about it.
Thus, Yuan Chonghuan became the chess piece they used to attack Qian Longci.
A chess piece that could drag Qian Longci down.
When Emperor Chongzhen confirmed the new governor of Jiliao and completely abandoned Yuan Chonghuan, they knew that their chance had come.
At the same time, it also weakened Liaodong's strength to prevent it from becoming a threat to them.
Therefore, the two memorials that had been prepared earlier were presented one after another.
The memorial that Zhou Tingru submitted was ordinary.
It was a simple conversation between the two of them when Yuan Chonghuan became the governor of Ji Liao.
However, it was this conversation that became Chongzhen's decision to behead Yuan Chonghuan.
The general meaning of the memorial was that Qian Longci asked him what he was going to do after taking office.
Yuan Chonghuan said that he would settle down in Dongjiang and Guanning.
Qian Longci asked curiously why they wanted to settle Dongjiang.
Yuan Chonghuan replied naturally,"If you can use Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang, then use him. If you can't use him, then kill him."
Who was Mao Wenlong?
He was the Left Commander-in-Chief and the Commander of Pinglian who was bestowed by the Tianqi Emperor.
You, Yuan Chonghuan, killed such an important official of the Imperial Court just like that.
From their conversation, it was clear that Yuan Chonghuan did not put him, the emperor, in his eyes at all.
An important official of the imperial court, you killed him just like that, and you killed him with his imperial sword.
He acted first and reported later, making Chongzhen very passive.
At that time, Yuan Chonghuan was the key to pacifying Liao, so Chong Zhen secretly suppressed the anger in his heart and did not say anything. Instead, he praised him.
This was one of the reasons why Emperor Chongzhen was determined to kill Yuan Chonghuan.
However, this wasn't enough. Although it was enough to kill Yuan Chonghuan, it wasn't enough to drag Qian Longci down.
What was truly fatal was the second memorial.
The Shandong Provincial Censor's memorial was an impeachment.
Impeachment cabinet assistant Qian Longci for accepting Yuan Chonghuan's bribes of tens of thousands of taels of silver. He clearly stated where the money was placed and the evidence was conclusive.
Moreover, he had really accepted Qian Longci. He just didn't expect that someone would find out.
It was very common for officials to accept bribes, and only tens of thousands of silver.
The Emperor knew that among these cabinet ministers, except for Sun Chengzong, none of them were not corrupt.
However, this matter was not as simple as bribery.
It was their identities.
One of them was the Grand Secretary of the cabinet, a cabinet minister with high authority.
One was the Ji Liao Military Governor, a border general with a large army.
It didn't matter who sent the money. Even if Qian Longci received hundreds of thousands or millions, Chongzhen wouldn't find it strange.
However, this person could not be Yuan Chonghuan.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, a border general colluding with an internal official was considered a rebellion.
Thus, these two memorials became Yuan Chonghuan's death talismans.
Chongzhen was furious on the spot and skinned Qian Longci, the cabinet minister.
Furthermore, both he and Yuan Chonghuan were directly convicted of treason.
Thus, the ending of the two could be known.
One had to know that the most serious crime for the imperial court was treason, which was a capital crime.
So Governor Yuan decided to behead him for public display after a joint trial by the three divisions.
Although Qian Longci was saved by the other ministers and spared the death penalty, he had been imprisoned and could not be released.
Wen Tiren and Zhou Tingru had achieved their goals.
The two of them entered the cabinet one after another. Wen Tiren, the cabinet scholar who only knew how to bootlick, finally became the chief assistant of the cabinet.
Moreover, he was the chief assistant of the cabinet who had been in office for the longest time.
Zhu Heng was not concerned about the internal power struggle in the Ming Dynasty.
He was more concerned about his brick factory.
This was related to his business and border security.
With the brick factory, not only could he build a large number of forts to resist the Houjin, but he could also sell them inside the pass to earn money.
One had to know that those who could build houses with bricks were all rich.
Just as he was staring at the brick factory, an imperial edict came and disrupted all his plans.
His original plan was to use Guang Ning City as the core to develop the entire Liaoxi region.
He had even made plans to reclaim wasteland in the spring of next year.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
This imperial edict was to confer Zhu Heng the title of Right Commander-in-Chief, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and the position of Liaodong Governor.
The Liaodong Military Governor's Office was located in Jinzhou, and its jurisdiction encompassed the entire Liaodong.
Thus, Zhu Heng, who was in his early twenties, became the youngest overseer.
He was also the one who was promoted the fastest.
From a small hundred households, he had become the Right Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, the second-in-command of the Bureau of Military Personnel, and also the Liaodong Military Governor.
It was not an exaggeration to describe Zhu Heng as the local emperor of Liaodong.
He had thought that he had just been promoted to the commander of the Guangning Capital Commander Division and had even been given the title of Lord Pinglu.
Although Chongzhen would reward him this time, it would definitely not be too much.
However, he did not even look at how valiant his battle record was.
After Zhu Heng received the imperial edict, he quickly led a group of people to Jinzhou to take up his post.
Liaodong Overseer, wasn't this the position he needed right now?
He had originally planned to seize the entire Liaodong, but he did not expect Chongzhen to personally send it into his hands.
In that case, he could only refuse.
Zhu Heng couldn't help but sigh,"Chongzhen is really a good emperor."”
