"Mr. Zhou, Chang Ping's warehouse management has long been destroyed. The situation in the capital is quite good, and there are only 500,000 stones of grain and grass. Compared with the people of the capital with a large number of million households, it is just a drop in the ocean and cannot help much. As for the grain merchants, hum." Bi Ziyan expressed his respect for the grain merchants in the capital with two cold snorkelings. Zhou Shixiong, a foreigner, did not understand. Sun Chengzong and Luo Yangxing knew why even the first person in the Ministry of Revenue could only respect the grain merchants.

"When the country is in danger, if these grain merchants refuse to sell grain to the court, do you have any other plans?" Zhou Shixiong was not an idiot. Of course, he would guess that these grain merchants had backgrounds, but it is very important to sacrifice the interests of others for his own life. Zhou Shixiong rebuked him righteously.

The big hat was pressed down, and Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan stopped talking with a stern face. Luo Yangxing seemed to have been kicked by someone, and he bent down instantly, and his head was less than a foot away from touching the ground. "My ancestor, don't say it." Luo Yangxing raised Zhou Shixiong to the level of his ancestors in his heart. If Zhou Shixiong died immediately, Luo Yangxing swears that he would hold a funeral for Zhou Shixiong according to the standards of his biological parents.

"That's true, the enemy chief approached the capital. How could the soldiers defeat Jiannu if they had no food? Those grain merchants dared to refuse to sell the house and searched the house immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen confiscated the house and searched the house. The first thing they thought was not to kill without mercy but to search for no mercy.

The two ministers rolled their eyes and continued to play the role of the statue of God. Luo Yangxing and Tu Wenfu outside the door were sweating in a cold sweat. What's the matter? Hurry up and find someone to get angry with the emperor, otherwise they would really make a big fuss. Luo Yangxing didn't dare to Tu Wenfu, but Tu Wenfu was able to move freely and quietly recruited a small eunuch to ask him to find a savior.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be done before the city is closed. Generally speaking, the granary is built outside the city, and it is inconvenient to transport grain once the city is closed. In one case, I am afraid that if the news is leaked, those people will transfer the grain." There are only a few people in the room, and Tu Wenfu is there outside the door. Zhou Shixiong's words offended all these people. But Zhou Shixiong only wanted to save his life, and offending people was not worth mentioning to him.

Emperor Chongzhen agreed with Zhou Shixiong's statement very much, but the ministers in front of him were all his confidants, so it was necessary to comfort him. "A few dear ministers, Zhou Aiqing is not saying that you will leak the news, but it is inevitable that this decree will be leaked once it leaves the imperial study room."

Emperor Chongzhen used the method of expanding the attack to protect the face of several ministers. Sun Chengzong Bi Ziyan and Luo Yangxing quickly expressed their gratitude to the emperor for their trust. Zhou Shixiong suddenly thought that many people knew about Jiannu's approaching the capital. Those well-informed people must have begun to flee, and the city lockdown must be implemented as soon as possible. Telling out their worries, everyone suddenly found that there was no time for slowly discussing and that the city lockdown order must be issued as soon as possible. If they were delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, it is really difficult to impose a city lockdown order. If the granary is not controlled, the city will be closed down. If the military and civilians in the city cannot get enough food, riots will almost certainly happen. However, no one except Zhou Shixiong dared to open the mouth of the grain merchants. Fortunately, God blessed Chongzhen, and before Emperor Chongzhen officially issued an order to force the food, the savior came.

Wang Chengen got the message from the little eunuch and rushed back to the imperial study from the fundraising site as quickly as possible. Emperor Chongzhen was panting when he saw him running, and thought that something was wrong. "Big companion, what's wrong with you?"

"Long live, I have to report it secretly if I have something to do." Wang Chengen ignored anything else and asked others to avoid it. Emperor Chongzhen was a little unhappy and was about to say a few words like everyone was a confidant and had no secrets. Three people with a clear mind walked out of the imperial study room, and only Zhou Shixiong had not figured out the situation. Luo Yangxing secretly pulled his parents who refused to die, and Zhou Shixiong then reacted and followed him.

"What's going on?" Since the crackdown on Wei Zhongxian, no eunuch has ever been so arrogant and dared to ask them to avoid it in front of many foreign ministers. Zhou Shixiong asked himself that he was acquaintances with Chongzhen and Wang Chengen, so what secrets could he not listen to?

"Mr. Zhou, you don't know that the largest grain merchant in the capital is Empress Yi'an's father Taikangbo, the Empress's father Jiadingbo, and the other is Concubine Tian's father Zuo Governor. Now I understand." In order to let Zhou Shixiong understand what he was doing, Luo Yangxing told the news that everyone in the capital knew regardless of the matter. Wang Chengen was also doing the same thing in the imperial study.

Zhou Shixiong said, he was very able to accept this fact. The relatives of the foreigners who do not rely on power for personal gain can only rely on relationships for money. It is very reasonable. Emperor Chongzhen was annoyed. If he attacked food, he would not only hurt the hearts of several empresses and concubines, but also lose the face of the royal family. But it would not be possible to not take action. How can the country and the country be compared with the face?

"Big companion, I will leave this matter to you in person. I will go to the imperial sister-in-law to apologize. I hope the imperial sister-in-law can understand my difficulties." Emperor Chongzhen respects Zhang Yan very much. His parents were both dead. Emperor Chongzhen was almost led by Zhang Yan. In recent years, Wei Zhongxian had powered him. If Zhang Yan had not protected him, it would be hard to say whether he could survive the throne of his elder brother. Therefore, once something was involved in Zhang Yan, Emperor Chongzhen never helped his relatives and ignored him. This time it seemed that he would make an exception, and Emperor Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Chengen came out and brought out the will of forcibly purchasing grain merchants to deposit grain and the will of locking down the city at the same time. Emperor Chongzhen was not in the mood to discuss national affairs, so he rushed to apologize to his sister-in-law.

Sun Chengzong led the order to go out of the city to Tongzhou. Bi Ziyan wanted to calculate and coordinate the money and grain. Luo Yangxing continued to inquire about the news. Wang Chengen wanted to teach ideological education classes to every grain merchant with background. Everyone was busy, and only Zhou Shixiong had no need to do anything, just go back to the inn to rest.

That night, the fifth army camp of Jingying opened into the city and officially announced the start of the lockdown. A few days later, news of Sanhe's loss came back. Zhou Shixiong was called into the palace very unhappy. "I said Xiao Fang, can't you just say you didn't find me?"

Fang Zhenghua only helped temporarily, and his official position was still based on the Xiangzhou Guard Commander and Commander of the Ministry of Justice. Now he has become the designated messenger for Emperor Chongzhen to summon Zhou Shixiong. Being complained by Zhou Shixiong was purely a disaster. "Sir, you will be angry if you can't find you. Long live, you will be angry if you are angry. You will be dangerous if you don't look at the officials. You won't care about the danger." People who practice martial arts are different. Others are so scared that they hide at home and dare not go out. Fang Zhenghua looked eager to try, as if he could get any benefits when Jiannu came.

"What's going on this time?" It shouldn't be my turn to discuss military and national affairs. Zhou Shixiong is very confident about this.

"Sanhe fell in Pinggu and fell. Jiannu was furious and was summoned to the heart of the capital. He summoned the fourth-rank and above generals in Beijing. It is said that he wanted to organize a personal army of emperors to serve on the front line to supervise the emperor." Fang Zhenghua glanced at Zhou Shixiong on the horse, but he didn't expect that Lord Zhou would not respond when he heard such news. Are he very interested in killing the enemy?

Fang Zhenghua had seen the brave Zhou Shixiong. When dealing with Hu Fulong Water Bandits, Zhou Shixiong led the way to lead a small army to attack the bandits and finally returned with great victory. However, although Xiangzhou has been fighting for the past two years, Zhou Shixiong has never been on the front line once, and he has a kind of a gentleman who does not stand a dangerous wall. Fang Zhenghua believes that Zhou Shixiong has changed. Master Zhou, who was very brave, knew to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

"Who came up with the idea?" Zhou Shixiong cursed countless swear words in his heart, and almost exhausted his anger before asking Fang Zhenghua. He cursed that the person who made this suggestion had a child full of chrysanthemums!

"The second auxiliary, Lord Zhou and Grand Secretary Wen, had the idea that they said that the Beijing camp would not dare to go out of the city to fight, and the generals should take the lead and let the subjects all over the world take a look at the blood of the military officials of the Ming Dynasty." Zhou Shixiong had no impression of these two people, and he was fartful about their reasons for living. There must be other reasons that made these two fathers of chrysanthemums do this.

"Are they crazy or crazy? Even if the civil officials look down on the military officials, it is impossible to let the military officials in the capital form a team to die!" The Yangwen suppression of military affairs was the most thoroughly executed in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the military officials like Zhou Shixiong were third-rank officials, they would have to ceremonials first when they saw the fifth-rank civil officials. Fortunately, Zhou Shixiong also had an imperial envoy, otherwise he would have to take out a nine-dragon pendant when he saw any civil officials to avoid ceremonials.

"It is said that because Wansui set up a temporary command center, excluding both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice, even the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet were not qualified to take charge of the matters of the command center. The civil officials believed that Wansui's arbitrarily changed the ancestral system and were not responsible for the wise rule. They collectively submitted a memorial to ask Wansui to abolish this improper organization." Anyway, the road was long, and the two walked slowly, and Fang Zhenghua told Zhou Shixiong all the news he knew.

"What does this have to do with the military minister?"

"Sir, in addition to the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue and Ministry of Works, there is also a new yamen called the General Staff. Long live to summon the nobles and military officials who have experience in commanding troops as counselors, helping the emperor analyze the enemy's situation and war reports and formulate strategies to face the enemy. This has robbed the jobs of the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet. In the past, they were responsible for these things. If they did it well or not, they would definitely not be able to seize power. How could they tolerate the military officials in power?" Fang Zhenghua gave a conclusion that was close to the truth.

Zhou Shixiong nodded slightly. "These civil officials knew that the nobles and military officials had no combat power. Their front-line tour group was mainly to drive the military officials out of the capital. Am I right?"

"It's right, not right." Founder Zhenghua took advantage of the information and finally enjoyed the opportunity to educate Zhou Shixiong. "The military officials in the General Staff Department could not leave the capital. The civil officials' idea was mainly to plan the descendants of these military officials. Under the banner of bringing glory for the long live, the nobles could not find an excuse to refuse, but the nobles and military officials knew very well what their precious sons were. Once they went to the battlefield, they were basically certain to die, and it depends on how to die."

"Long live, why did you agree?" Emperor Chongzhen now relies on the military officials, and it is impossible for him to make such a low-level misjudgment, so that civil officials can control the military officials' lives.

root.

Speaking of this, Fang Zhenghua didn't say anything anymore, Zhou Shixiong asked a few questions, and then Fang Zhenghua replied depressedly, "Long live, how can you know?"

ps: The stars last night were windy last night, and the pockets were empty after the merging, and the descendants had their own blessings. The gutter and toilet trash cans.
