August 13, 19th year of Chongzhen.

The curtain was raised on the platform behind the Yuntai Gate. In the middle of the door, the throne of His Highness the Emperor was placed. The prince sat in the lower head, and the other ministers sat on both sides with drum stools.

Zhang Fengxiang and His Royal Highness came together, which inevitably made people look at him. He knew that some of his colleagues misunderstood, but even if this kind of thing was misunderstood, it would not be explained, otherwise he would be dissatisfied with the crown prince. He was just young and strong, and based on the history of the general low lifespan of the Tian family, he was likely to become an important official of the two dynasties and could not be cut off from the future emperor.

Zhu Cixuan never thought of communicating with ministers. He knew very well that the future of the Ming Dynasty was not with these veterans. If he could turn the tide, it would be enough to have the Censorate controlled by Li Banghua. If he could not change the wheel of history, then these people either followed the thief, committed suicide, or fled to Nanjing, which would have no meaning to him.

Emperor Chongzhen did not take this little thing seriously. He was ecstatic at this moment and raised his hand from time to time to pat the armrest of the imperial seat. His voice was beating lightly, which was a good mood that he had never had in years.

"The governor is indeed a capable minister." Chongzhen praised Sun Chuanting for the third time, without remembering his words to throw this person into prison, deprived him of his official position, and demoted him to a commoner.

With such severe punishment and such great grievances, Sun Chuanting did not have any resentment at all, and he was still alive for the court. Zhu Cilang felt that it was too arbitrary to attribute it to foolish loyalty, and more importantly, a kind of subconscious inertia. Once some people are no longer loyal to a spiritual sustenance, it may be more terrifying than killing them.

"The newly sent Tang newspaper," Chongzhen turned to Zhu Cilang and said with a smile, "Sun Chuanting contacted Henan General Chen Yongfu, who brought 100,000 Qin soldiers and had recovered Luoyang on the tenth day of the first lunar month!"

Luoyang is an ancient capital and a place where Chinese literary spirit is gathered. With the dangers of Yaoshan and Mianchi, it can hinder the key to Qinchuan and Longshan Mountains and become a barrier in Hebei. It can be said that it is a place that must be fought for in all directions. If China is safe and sound, Luoyang will surely prosper. Once there is a change, Luoyang will be the first to suffer military disaster. Therefore, the Song Dynasty's man Li Gefei said: "The prosperity and decline of Luoyang is the time for the world to be governed and chaotic." The recovery of Luoyang is not to recover the property for King Fu, but to indicate that the world is approaching and China is at ease.

What's more, it is really a shame for the imperial court to become a thoroughfare like Luoyang, Wuchang, to become a thief. Now that Sun Chuanting has recovered Luoyang, it can be regarded as washing away half of the imperial court's shame.

Zhu Cixuan didn't feel happy when he heard this. He knew that if Sun Chuanting had gained a firm foothold in Luoyang and could even go south to conquer Xiangyang, Hanyang, Wuchang... Then in the original time and space, there would be only Chongzhen's revival, and it would not be the change of Jiashen Tian.

"The thief heard that the ministers were all defeated. The minister swears to be clear about the thief and not to worry about the king and father!"

Chongzhen read Sun Chuanting's memorial aloud, especially liked this sentence. His hands trembled slightly, and he shouted in a tone that looked almost like a dream: "The thief is destruction!"

Even though the emperor was so happy, the ministers below rarely resonated with each other. They just sat down with their heads down and did not participate in this celebration scene, making His Majesty the Emperor seem to be performing a one-man show.

Zhu Cixuan felt so sorry for his biological father that he pretended to be smiling and asked, "I don't know what kind of martial honors of the Qin Governor have. He actually made the thief afraid of it like a tiger?"

Chongzhen was in the mood and didn't care about the prince's words without respect. He asked the ministers, not him. He answered first: "Sun Chuanting is also capable. He was the one who captured the thief Gao Yingxiang back then. At that time, Li Zhe was just a small soldier under Gao Zhe, and I think it was because of the remaining power accumulated."

When Gao Yingxiang was captured and killed by Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng was indeed under the command of King Gao Chuang. However, at that time, Li Zicheng had already led a battalion and stood alone. He was a famous "rebel general". He was definitely not a small soldier. It was not that Chongzhen deliberately derogated Li Zicheng, but that he really only knew that Li Zicheng came from Gao Yingxiang's camp, but he didn't know how Li Zicheng was at that time.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but sigh: After fighting for so many years, his father was fooled by a half-baked civil servant, but he didn't even understand the details of his opponent.

"Who fought with whom in the Battle of Kashihara?" Zhu Cixuan asked knowingly.

Chongzhen did not hear the implicit meaning of this sentence. He said with some dissatisfaction: "The prince should patiently study the military books and war reports. Have you forgotten what happened last year?"

Zhu Ciyang did not expect that his position in his father's heart was not high enough, so he couldn't help but choke. The proud bones he had recovered outside the palace these days immediately broke out and spoke in a deep voice: "His Majesty, the Qin governor was defeated by the tomb tomb that day, and the army was destroyed by thousands of troops. Seventy-eight people died in the school, and later beheaded General Xiao Shending. General Zuo Yi was the last general Zuo Guangxian, and was fortunately spared. My son remembered this battle, can't Li Zicheng remember it alone?"

This time it was Chongzhen's turn to be choked, and his pale face turned pale.

The defeat at Tomb Tou was indeed a rare defeat in Sun Chuanting's life. At that time, he had just recovered from prison and became the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi. He had only new soldiers in his hands and lacked training. However, Kaifeng was surrounded, and Emperor Chongzhen was anxious to send the inspector and the inspector Su Jing supervising the army to urge Sun Chuanting to leave the customs.

In September of the fifteenth year, Sun Chuanting could not withstand the emperor's strict imperial edict. In addition, he had just made a big mistake before, and felt guilty and had to send troops hastily. Speaking of which, if he had committed the first mistake, it would not be a big deal. But Yuan Chonghuan had already made it before, and when it was his turn, his nature would be particularly bad.

At that time, Sun Chuanting had just come out of prison and did not know that the situation of officials and thieves had reversed. When the emperor summoned the opponent, he said with confidence: Only five thousand elite soldiers can be used to combat the thieves. When he arrived in Shaanxi, he knew the truth. After all, it was impossible to complete the task without twenty thousand elite soldiers. He could only ask the emperor for additional salary with shamelessness.

Emperor Chongzhen was hit hard by Yuan Chonghuan's "Five Years of Pacifying Liao" before. Everyone looked like a liar. The general idea was: You guy teased me when you go back on your word and don't bother with you. However, if your child gets the salary, he has to go out of the gate to fight, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless.

Under such circumstances, Sun Chuanting had to swallow Coptis chinensis by himself, and took General Gao Jie as the central army to launch a large number of passes and untied the siege of Kaifeng.

The army was halfway through and got the news of Kaifeng's fall, so they had to change their way to Nanyang.

At that time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai joined forces to face Sun Chuanting.

On the first day of October, the two armies fought in Jiaxian.

Sun Chuanting ordered General Zheng Jiadong, Gao Jie and Zuo Zhi to set up an ambush, and General Niu Chenghu went to fight to lure the enemy. Li Zicheng was involved in the ambush and was defeated by the official army, so he had to retreat eastward.

Sun Chuanting was already sure to win, but unexpectedly, the official army saw the camp leaving behind many armored supplies on the way to the chasing camp, and they fought for it. The array was in chaos without fighting. Luo Rucai seized the opportunity and defeated the general Xiao Shending and Zuo Zhi in one battle. The other generals also dispersed one after another, and they defeated them from a big victory to a big defeat.

Because it rained heavily on the day Sun Chuanting sent troops and the grain trucks could not follow, the soldiers could only pick unripe green persimmons to eat, so the people of Henan called it the "Permaceutical Garden Battle". Perhaps people at that time thought that the Persimmon Garden Battle was better than the defeat at the Tomb Head, so the Persimmon Garden Battle was more well-known.

If Sun Chuanting gave Li Zicheng a psychological shadow because of capturing Gao Yingxiang, isn’t it enough to give Li Zicheng confidence when he defeated the enemy? Consider it more deeply, wasn’t the reason why Li Zicheng was tricked to lure the enemy to defeat at that time because he despised the Qin army and Sun Chuanting, and believed that it was normal for the official army to collapse at one touch? In this way, there is no possibility that “the thieves and ministers will be defeated”?

"Your Majesty," Feng Yuanbiao, the Minister of War, said, "Therefore, the thief, saw Wei, to lure my army, is a jealousy of military tactics. I cannot be worry-free."

The old minister was already worried. Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had taken out of the persimmon garden battle, he naturally no longer kept his words in his heart. Anyway, with his age, he was already satisfied with the central government, and even if he could not enter the cabinet in the future, there would be nothing to regret.

Most of the cabinets and servants in the Chongzhen Dynasty were appointed by the Central Order, which was not as appealing as those introduced by the Jiajing and Wanli Court. At that time, if someone did not follow the court and entered the cabinet with the Central Order, he would be ridiculed by his colleagues.

When a person is not looking for a person, he is arrogant. Feng Yuanbiao will not ask for the title of "ge elder", so he will naturally dare to speak. Seeing the emperor's originally joyful face, the others suddenly restrained themselves and couldn't help but feel upset. Considering his career prospects, they all kept silent.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more frosty and pursed his lips and said nothing.

The happy atmosphere on the platform has been blown away by the cold wind, and the scene is as cold as an ice cellar. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
