Li Zicheng escaped and Kaifeng City was defended.

The news reached Beijing, and the whole country was joking. Emperor Chongzhen also showed a long-lost smile on his tired face.

At this time, countless impeachment memorials flew over like snowflakes. The content of the impeachment was that Sun Chuanting corrected the order and refused to rush to Kaifeng without moving.

In fact, this is true. When Kaifeng City was besieged by treacherous robbers, Sun Chuanting did organize the Ming army to rescue. However, after half of the rescue, he ordered his subordinates to keep their troops still. Although the siege of Kaifeng was temporarily lifted, the reinforcements of the Ming army had not arrived for a long time, and all civil and military officials were impeaching Sun Chuanting for ineffective suppression of bandits.

Some people also say that the court released Sun Chuanting as governor of seven provinces, but actually released the tiger back to the mountain. Now Sun Chuanting has self-respecting troops and will not obey the jurisdiction of the court.

Chongzhen was originally a suspicious person, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious when he looked at these impeachment memorials.

Sun Chuanting summoned Fu Zonglong and Baoding Governor Yang Wenyue, He Renlong, Ding Qirui, Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei and other generals, and sent troops to Kaifeng. Except for He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu not arrived, the others walked halfway, and Sun Chuanting urgently summoned them to station on the spot.

In other words, Sun Chuanting did not intend to actually go to Kaifeng to rescue the siege. These impeachment memorials were sent to Chongzhen's imperial court, and Chongzhen's face immediately became unfavorable.

"Prince, report to the Emperor, the Crown Prince has come down." The eunuch Wang Chengen came to repay him.

Chongzhen said "um" and expressed his acquiescence, and then Zhu Cilang came in.

"Father, why are you worried about Father? I heard that the thief retreated and the Kaifeng City was defended. This is a good thing."

Chongzhen looked at his son suspiciously: "How do you know that I am upset, Ciyang, have you heard any rumor?"

Zhu Cilang smiled: "Father, this memorial impeachment of Sun Chuanting has been piled from the capital to Shanhaiguan. No one knows who doesn't know."

Chongzhen hummed, "Who did you learn from? You are so slick."

"Father, I really can't blame General Sun for this matter."

When all the civil and military officials in the court were impeaching Sun Chuanting, no one dared to stand up and speak for him. At this time, Zhu Cixuan actually went to the Qianqing Palace and found Emperor Chongzhen and said that it was not the fault of Sun Chuanting?

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "How do you say this?"

"Father, do you think, Sun Chuanting just arrived at the local area, but he didn't have money to fight. How can he fight this war? Besides, if the new officials take office, will those local officials listen to him?"

Chongzhen said angrily: "I gave him Shangfang sword. Who dares to resist the order? Behead him first and then report him. His Sun Chuanting Yang obeyed him. Could it be that I have to thank him?"

Zhu Cilang was a little helpless. My father had such a personality and he really needed guidance when necessary. It seems that he was right this time, otherwise Sun Chuanting would be afraid of planting the seeds of suspicion in his father's heart this time.

"Father, it's not his Sun Chuanting who disobeys the emperor. I'm afraid it's those local officials. After all, the new official takes office for three fires, and Sun Chuanting hasn't even raised a flame. My father blames him now, so he's a bias."

Chongzhen was silent. In fact, there was no other reason why Sun Chuanting refused to send troops, but he had no money.

Raising soldiers requires money, and who is willing to work hard for you without money. Without food or pay, the soldiers may mutiny halfway. So, halfway through, Sun Chuanting ordered his subordinates to rest on the spot and did not rush to Kaifeng City.

More importantly, when you were in Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told him that once Kaifeng City is surrounded, you can only pretend to help, and you don’t have to be led by the thieves. Because the thieves have no logistics and no military pay, you can grab it wherever you go.

You are different, no food or pay, why should you lead your troops? If you dare to rob the grain, I will tear you to pieces!

At that time, Sun Chuanting was actually quite hesitant. He didn't believe Zhu Cilang's words very much. But when he just entered Tongguan, he learned about the siege of the thief, and Sun Chuanting was very shocked. He only began to believe in the crown prince like a monster.

All of this seemed to be within Zhu Cilang's expectations. When will the thieves siege the city besieged, Zhu Cilang seemed to know clearly what Li Zicheng had. This made Sun Chuanting disbelief. Zhu Cilang also told him that Kaifeng Prefecture will be in danger this time. Therefore, you don't have to really send reinforcements, just pretend to be fine.

Sun Chuanting was worried about sending troops, but Zhu Cilang said so, he would just march halfway. Sure enough, Kaifeng City was saved without any danger.

However, this made Sun Chuanting himself suffer. Countless impeachment memorials said that he was timid in fighting. In order to preserve his strength, he refused to rush to Kaifeng City.

After hearing what Zhu Cilang said, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down a lot. Perhaps he was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Sun Chuanting had just taken office, so how could he be able to mobilize local soldiers so quickly? Besides, there was no military salary and food, so what could he do to transfer it?

Chongzhen actually had his own difficulties. He sighed quietly: "But, I can't turn a blind eye to so many memorials impeaching him."

As an emperor, all officials must have a statement. Otherwise, such indulgence in Sun Chuanting would inevitably cause criticism in the court. Especially those censors, none of them were easy to take care of.

When he mentioned this, Zhu Cilang was so angry that he was so angry: "Father, these stupid officials have no other skills, but they are perfect in fighting. Whoever has the ability will ask him to take over Sun Chuanting in charge of government affairs. Otherwise, they should shut up. The father is too spoiled by those civil officials, and it really doesn't work. He will catch a few and beat him up!"

Chongzhen was stunned: "A beating?"

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, the ministers ruined the country. Which of these dog officials is so arrogant. But when they were asked to provide disaster relief, they all became mutes, and when they were suppressing the enemy, they all became deaf. These dog officials deserve to die."

This sentence was deeply loved by Chongzhen. Otherwise, before Chongzhen died, there would not be such a great resentment, saying that all the ministers should be killed. Zhu Cixuan's words were simply a direct hit to Emperor Chongzhen.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, there has been no peace in the world. Either drought, floods, plagues are rampant in various places, or bandits are in chaos. Whenever he asks his ministers to find a way, these hypocritical ministers either blaming each other or stubbornly stubbornly. Let them come up with ideas, and they are like dead people. Let them fight in their nests, and each biting them better than each other.

For example, when Sun Chuanting took office this time, none of the Chinese civil and military officials in the court stood up and said that he could go to Shaanxi to wipe out the bandits. Now he finally chose Sun Chuanting to take office, and these officials started their own specialty again. One by one, the one who impeached Sun Chuanting was not here.

Chongzhen became more and more angry as he thought about it: "Yes, I will find a few and beat them hard!"
