It's just that Zhou Yanru knows that he doesn't have that ability.

Presumably the emperor also understands that his official position is afraid that he will not be able to sit for long.

A little eunuch walked in and said softly, "The emperor is invited." "

Zhou Yanru shook his head, knowing that the emperor must have a headache.

As long as the people around the emperor dare not speak out, the emperor will have a headache, and today is the time for him to be reprimanded.

He obediently entered the palace to greet him.

Emperor Chongzhen's eyebrows raised, this old man really became more and more annoying.

Sometimes, he really wanted to gouge out the old man's heart and see if it was red or black.

"Something's going on. "

Chongzhen put down the brush in his hand, took a sip of the teacup, and waited to hear the bad news.

has been in the court for six years, and he is already very familiar with the things in the court.

Zhou Yanru's arrival is definitely not good news.

It's not that this old man can't be an official, but he will be scolded in this situation

It's just that this matter must be extraordinary, he would rather offend the emperor than be struck by lightning.

He took out a copy of the recital written by the prefect of Qingzhou from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhou Yanru looked at the emperor's expression carefully

As a rule of thumb, as long as he took no more than ten breaths, he would be furious and yelling at himself.

But today, something is not right.

Chongzhen actually finished reading the recital, and he didn't get angry

"Alright, you go down. "

Zhou Yanru chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little flustered.

He knew very well that he was about to be fired.

Chongzhen's attitude is very clear

If he still scolds himself, it proves that he still needs to continue to appoint himself.

Since the emperor has made it clear that he does not need himself, there is nothing more to say.

He bowed deeply and left silently.

As soon as he returned home, he began to prepare for his resignation.

Just as he was leaving the palace, Wen Tiren rushed into the palace.

When Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and scolded loudly:

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, how can there be so many bandits under my rule?

One of the generals died like this, and thousands of guards were made of wood?

The bandits are coming, and these soldiers are cut down by the bandits like pigs?".

Wen Tiren looked dazed

His Majesty the Emperor scolded incoherently.

But when he saw the fold handed by the prefect of Qingzhou, he knew what the emperor was talking about.

His mind was spinning rapidly, but he wasn't thinking about how to deal with the destruction of Lingshanwei.

Instead, they are thinking about how to attack their political opponents.

Before he could clear his mind, he heard Chongzhen next to him ask

"Wen Qing, tell me, what should I do about this matter?".

Wen Tiren was stunned for a moment, but then replied with a move in his heart:

"Your Majesty, there's something greasy in this. "

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Wen Tiren was saying.

Wen Tiren's face was solemn, and he said: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen watched this recital and found some suspicious things. "

"Yes, I wonder what you think. "

Wen Tiren said: "I heard that there is a news in the army about this matter.

The words and tricks were all Henan, Hebei, Huguang, and Sichuan, all of which were blocked by officers and soldiers.

Lingshanwei is located to the east of Shandong, surrounded by Shandong's army

These bandits are absolutely impossible to bypass.

In the reports received in Shandong for more than three months, there was no news of a rebellion.

All operations were under the watchful eye of Weihaiwei, and there was no sign of invasion.

How could it be that all of a sudden, Lingshanwei was destroyed?

Where did the bandits come from? This is one of them. "

Mingjian thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Wen Qing, you go on." "

Wen Tiren saw that the emperor was serious, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and his voice was a little louder.

"Your Majesty, in the middle of Qingzhou City, Lingshanwei has been killed cleanly

But we don't know the specifics.

The words were vague and unclear, just a sentence about the bandit rebellion.

This is the second reason. "

Chongzhen was also attracted at this time, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "What about the third point?"

Wen Tiren spoke, his voice getting higher and higher, and he became more and more excited.

"According to the laws of the court, Lingshanwei is part of the army.

This should have been the recital of the Shandong General Army, why did you come to the recital of the Qingzhou prefect first?

Also, Xigu County is under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture, why don't you see him on the fold?

This is the third condition. "

Chongzhen was taken aback and immediately realized this problem

I was so shocked that I forgot about it.

If Zhou Yanru was here, he would definitely spray a mouthful of spit on Wen Tiren's face.

After speaking, he would grab his beard and jerk him in the mouth.

Of the three questions that Wen Tiren said, only one is reasonable.

Second, third, it's all.

If you don't know the specific situation, you can't go to court

Could it be that the prefect of Qingzhou does not have the power to go to the chapter?

Laizhou City did not report it, so it was determined that it was fake

This is a rule known to all emperors.

Above the court, everyone knows.

According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, these two items are suspicious.

But it's also a very common thing.

Previously the emperor did not notice,

Any recitals are sent to the cabinet for review.

If something is inappropriate, the cabinet will revise it.

Even when reporting, they were cautious, and no one dared to use such rules to make trouble.

There is also a reason why Zhou Yanru sent the Qingzhou prefect's recital here.

He never imagined that someone would falsely accuse him of this.

But today, Wen Tiren broke the convention

He had made up his mind to compete for the position of prime minister

So, he can't care about that much.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Zhou Yanru had realized the unreliability of the emperor and was about to ask the emperor for his resignation.

Wen Tiren was still talking nonsense in front of Chongzhen, grasping one detail after another, chattering endlessly.
