Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 944 An Ace

Wang Yan's monitoring of information is very strict, and Jinyiwei and Tiandi will further develop in his hands, one for the inside and the other for the outside.

Jin Yiwei abolished the power of punishment and prison, but the search for intelligence did not relax. There are many spies in Nanjing.

"Get on the lone cart!"

In the early morning, there were still few pedestrians on the street. King Lu said something, and then put down the curtains. After a while, a figure rushed into the car. It was Dong Zhining.

This Dong Zhining is also a famous figure in history. He was a Gongsheng at the beginning. When the Qing army attacked Zhejiang, he recruited troops to resist. The "Five Gentlemen of Ningbo" and others planned to return to Ningbo, but Xie Sanbin found out and first sued.After the fall of Zhoushan, he committed suicide and died for the country. His wife Luo Shi, sons Dong Shijun and Dong Shixiang also followed him.

However, history has changed. He is now the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment and an important backbone of King Lu in Nanjing.Because the palace is an important object of surveillance, and many things remain unchanged, he became the person who helped King Lu collect and deliver information.

"Your Highness, Governor Xiao of Hangzhou sent a secret letter, saying that it must be handed over to His Highness immediately, and then please express it!"

King Lu took the letter from him, took off the wax seal, and read it again. His heart was shocked immediately, but his face was really calm.

To be honest, no one would like Zhu Cihuan's appearance at this time. After all, the interests have been divided, and the court has not reserved a seat for him at all. Moreover, the little emperor, the king of Tang, and the king of Chu would not be comfortable with him.

It's like a big family. When there was a great chaos, the young master who could inherit the family business suddenly disappeared, but with the efforts of a group of distant relatives, the family business was kept and flourished. When he thought that the young master would not come back, the young master suddenly appeared.

If it is killed, there will be people in the world who will gossip, but if it is left behind, relatives will not feel at ease, because it will leave a huge hidden danger.

King Lu had fought for a long time, and many thoughts quickly flashed in his mind. After Zhu Cihuan appeared, he was of great use value, because his existence was a huge challenge to the current little emperor, and he was a very good banner.

"The message tells Xiao Qihui to hide people and deal with all those who know." After reading the letter, King Lu put it in his sleeve, and there was a trace of light and cruelty in his eyes.

Handing over Zhu Cihuan to the imperial court may pose a problem for Wang Yan, but this is not enough at all. This is a trump card given to him by God. At least he can replace Wang Yan and become the helm of Daming.

Now that Wang Yan is pressing harder and harder in government and military affairs, weakening his power step by step, he must plan to fight back.

Of course, this requires timing, a good opportunity, and before that, he must guarantee that Zhu Cihuan will continue to hide, and for this, he must kill some people.

"The lower official knows, and will send someone to send a letter to Governor Xiao." Dong Zhining hurriedly responded, but seeing King Lu's expression, he hesitated to speak.

"Don't ask too much. When I can tell you, Gu will tell you immediately. Telling you now will be bad for you..." Lu Wang felt his gaze and suddenly said.

Not long after the carriage moved forward, Dong Zhining got off the carriage in front of a hidden alley, while King Lu's carriage continued on its way to the meeting hall.

Now Wang Yan of the cabinet does not invite him and King Tang at all, but Wang Yan of the meeting hall has no choice but to call them, because according to the original agreement of the three kings, King Lu and King Tang both hold the votes of King Lizheng in their hands, and there is still a big difference. The decision-making power can affect the passage of the bill.

The carriage stopped slowly in front of the meeting hall. The academicians, major officials of various ministries, censors, and nobles who came to attend the meeting of the meeting hall have almost arrived. There are more than 100 people, which is more than 30 people at the beginning. Much more.

This greatly reduced the influence of the three kings in the meeting hall. King Lu was very shameless towards Wang Yan's stupid behavior of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.

He turned towards the carriage, and not far away, Wang Yan also got off the carriage.This is not to say that he didn't want to ride a horse. In fact, Wang Yan was very willing to ride a horse and wear a military general's court uniform to emphasize that he was from the army. However, the guards complained greatly, because riding a horse greatly increased the difficulty of their defense.

Wang Yan got out of the car, saw King Lu, walked over, talked to him casually, and then entered the meeting hall together.

If before, King Lu must have felt very upset when he saw Wang Yan, but this time he felt a little excited. He even squinted his eyes for a long time, stared at Wang Yan's back, and looked him up and down. One day I will go to the front of Wang Yan.

At this time, in the meeting hall, King Tang had already entered first, and the ministers inside were whispering in twos and threes, discussing the matters to be discussed today.

Not long after the formation of the council hall system, a rule was formed. Before discussing the matter, the matter will be notified or released, so that people can know the topic first, and then proceed to the discussion and vote after full analysis and thinking.

At this time, a guard shouted: "His Royal Highness Chu Wang and Lu Wang are here!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and Wang Yan and King Lu walked in quickly one after the other, and everyone got up one after another to welcome the two Highnesses inside.

After Wang Yan and Tang Wang took their seats, everyone sat down together, and Gu Yuanjing, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the discussion, rang the small bell, waited for the hall to quiet down, and then said: "A few matters for today's discussion, everyone. I already know, then follow the old rules and start from the Ministry of War!"

Although Nanjing was recovered, Huainan was occupied, the North-South confrontation was established, and the Ming Dynasty was already safe, but the focus of the Ming Dynasty is still on the military, so every time the Ministry of War discusses matters first.

After hearing this, Chen Bangyan took up his position. He first handed over his hands to everyone, and then said: "There are three things that the Ministry of War agreed on today. The first is the summary of the Sichuan War and the new deployment. The second thing is about the purchase of horses. Three things about resetting the five-armed governor's office and reforming the military."

"These proposals have been notified in advance, so now let's talk about the first one, which is the Sichuan issue." Chen Bangyan looked at the notes in his hand, paused for a moment, and then said: "Sichuan was defeated, and someone must be responsible for the incident." Sichuan Governor Fan Yiheng wrote a letter to plead guilty, hoping to take responsibility. The Ministry of War considered that he was in southern Sichuan at the time, and later played a great role in stabilizing eastern Sichuan. Therefore, it suggested that the Ministry of Officials not impose heavy punishments, and suggested retaining the title of Sichuan Governor. After all, there are not many ministers in the court who are familiar with Sichuan, and the situation in eastern Sichuan needs him. In the Sichuan campaign, Li Dingguo, commanded by the Zhenwei Battalion in Zhongyi Town, killed Oboi.
