The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

When the law turns to Hongjun, the spirit is in the same spirit, and the shoulder hub hits with joy.

There is no need to go to the eastern suburbs, spring is among thousands of families.

As thousands of lights were lit one after another.

The Ming Empire, riddled with holes and holes, took a trembling step forward and braved the wind and snow to enter the new year.

Thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow drifting, and the nine sides of the North are silent. In the middle of winter, there is silence both inside and outside the Great Wall.

The impact and damage caused by the slave invasion have not been eliminated. The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living still need to continue to live.

Border affairs have eased, Jiannu has retreated, and the great victory in the early spring of last year made the entire Jiubian North Kingdom cheer and be inspired by it. =

The biggest impact of the victory at Qingshan Pass was not the large number of Jiannu Beibei who were killed.

Instead, it swept away the malaise caused by Liao Zuo's defeat for decades and cleared away the fear inside and outside the court.

The troops on all sides were inspired, and all the camps and towns were encouraged.

Hong Chengchou was appointed governor of Jiliao, and Sun Chuanting was appointed governor of Baoding.

After taking office, both of them were determined to forge ahead, eliminate bad governance, and train a new army.

Dozens of towns including Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong, Shanhaiguan, and Ningyuan are all heavily armed, sweeping away the decline of the past.

Especially Sun Chuanting. Compared to Hong Chengchou, what Sun Chuanting did was more radical.

Not only did he reform the guard station, retrain the troops, and renovate the ordnance, he also wrote hundreds of memorials in half a year to criticize the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

The corruption of the Ministry of Industry and the redundancy of the Ministry of War were ruthlessly exposed by Sun Chuanting.

Originally, all memorials should go through the hands of the cabinet, but because of the power granted by Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting obtained the power to secretly write memorials.

The secret music was passed directly to Chongzhen from the factory guard in the East Factory.

It is precisely because of this that Chongzhen was able to see some memorials.

All these memorials were submitted, and the result was that Chongzhen became furious and ordered an investigation into everything in the two ministries, especially the extremely poor quality of military equipment and widespread corruption in the Ministry of Industry.

As a result, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry were reorganized.

After the rectification, the efficiency of the Ministry of War has improved a lot, and the quality of the ordnance produced by the Ministry of Industry has also been greatly improved.

As the instigator, Sun Chuanting received more criticism and hostility. Memorials impeaching and criticizing Sun Chuanting almost continued for days and filled the cabinet table.

Chongzhen ignored all the impeachment memorials submitted.

However, from the initial reprimanding of the impeachment to the subsequent silence, the change in Chongzhen's attitude can clearly be seen.

Three people become tigers, and many people speak of each other, but these are not the underlying reasons for Chongzhen's change in attitude toward Sun Chuanting.

What changed Chongzhen's view was that after he agreed to all Sun Chuanting's requests, he did not see much results in the end.

What finally made Chongzhen hate Sun Chuanting was that in December, Sun Chuanting actually asked to resign as governor of Baoding. The reason turned out to be that a cold that had not been cured for a long time actually caused deafness in both ears.

In the Forbidden City of the capital, in the Xinuan Pavilion, Chongzhen was furious and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

"It's really ridiculous. Does Sun Chuanting really think that I am a three-year-old child?!"

"A mere cold that doesn't heal for several months can actually cause deafness. It's the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

Chongzhen looked horrified and was furious. All the eunuchs and maidens in the pavilion knelt on the ground, trembling.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was not among them, but Wang Chengen was kneeling beside him.

Wang Chengen knelt on the near side, with a complicated look on his face. He thought for a moment and said under pressure.

"Governor Sun's illness has been recurring. Several imperial doctors who were sent before also said that Governor Sun's illness is indeed not serious. The Ministry of War confirmed that..."

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Chongzhen.

"No matter what, a mere cold can cause deafness and even inability to govern." Chongzhen felt a little calmer, but the anger in his heart towards Sun Chuanting did not subside much.

"Everyone inside and outside the court is impeaching and criticizing Sun Chuanting. All these impeachments and criticisms have been blocked by me."

"why?"

Chongzhen looked terrifying and said angrily.

"It's because I trusted him. He wanted to rectify the garrison, he wanted to reform the military system, he wanted soldiers, food, and money. I overcame all objections and gave it to him, absolutely."

"Even if it's the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, I trust him and he will put things in order. Even if the court is in turmoil and officials are under pressure, I trust him and I have no complaints!"

The more Chongzhen spoke, the angrier he became. His originally calmed down mood became agitated again. He couldn't help but stand up angrily and said in a cold voice.

"As a result, Sun Chuanting has had little effect so far. After years of ineffectiveness, he resigned due to illness."

"Tell me, he's not shirking responsibility. What is he doing?"

Wang Chengen had a clear view of Chongzhen's expression. He was always by Chongzhen's side, how could he not know Chongzhen's temper?

If I defend Sun Chuanting at this time, I am afraid that I will anger Chongzhen.

But if he didn't speak for Sun Chuanting at this time, no one in the whole court would be able to speak for him.

"Governor Sun captured and beheaded the rebel Gao Yingxiang in Shaanxi, and then followed the imperial edict to the King Qin, and went all the way north. He has been diligent in state affairs. How can he be a person who dares not to do anything."

"Censor Yang Yijun verified and reported yesterday that Governor Sun is indeed ill..."

Chongzhen's eyes were cold, he squinted at Wang Chengen who was kneeling beside him, and said in a solemn voice.

"Yesterday, the prefect of Baoding Prefecture impeached Sun Chuanting again. Baoding Prefecture Xuejiao Yin Sanpin reported Sun Chuanting, saying that soldiers under Sun Chuanting's command violated the people. This is the third case since last month."

"Yang Yijun's return is obviously deceptive. Since he has no ability to discern clearly, he should stop being a censor."

Wang Chengen was shocked and looked surprised.

Chongzhen was obviously really angry now. After two verifications, he reported that it was true, but he still didn't believe it.

Yang Yijun was even dismissed from his post.

Wang Chengen felt desperate and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Governor Sun, Governor Sun, when did you get sick? But at this critical moment..."

Now I'm afraid things are going to take a turn for the worst.

"emperor……"

Wang Chengen raised his head and wanted to make a final effort.

But the words of advice were not spoken to him after all, and Chongzhen's cold eyes made Wang Chengen feel frightened.

Wang Chengen lowered his head, and Chongzhen's eyes returned to Wang Chengen.

Because of Sun Chuanting's anger, and Wang Chengen who helped Sun Chuanting speak, Chongzhen also felt disgusted in his heart, he couldn't help but think.

"After Cao Daban left, there wasn't even a single person around me."

Chongzhen felt cold in his heart. He felt more and more like a loner and felt more and more that no one could be trusted.

　I owe 2000 words today, but I can make up for it tomorrow. When I wrote today, I originally didn’t write a chapter about the capital, but when I reviewed it later, I realized that I should write this chapter first. I was in a hurry, so I only had two chapters today. A thousand words, I’m so sorry.

　　My writing skills are inherently weak, and sometimes I even write an introduction, which is very dry.

　　My state of mind has been poor during this period. The end of the year is here, there are many chores, and I am very distracted.
