Chapter 67 Of course I will help you~~~
"Qiu Hejia encountered the remnants of the Jiannu Dorgon on the way, and was all killed?"

Zhou Yanru, who was stationed in Jinzhou City, saw the letter sent by Chen Ran and burst out laughing.

"You are still immature. This explanation won't work. The emperor doesn't care how he died, he only cares who he belongs to."

He spread out the paper skillfully and wrote back, "Find someone among the Jiannu captives to write the letter, saying that he has colluded with Qiu Hejia for a long time. I will arrange for someone to copy his notes and write a letter to the emperor. Remember to mention that this person has a close relationship with Yuan Chonghuan and is appreciated by Sun Chengzong."

As an old Yin coin, Zhou Yanru was skilled in picking up the missing pieces for Chen Ran.

"The person the emperor hated most was Yuan Chonghuan."

"The only reason is that this southern barbarian deceived the emperor."

"The emperor, who was stubborn and erratic, was played around by Yuan Manzi and slapped in the face in public, and the whole world knew about it. Anyone who gets involved with him will not have a good ending."

After finishing his reply, Lord Zhou took a break and drank a cup of tea. Then he ground ink and spread out paper again, preparing to write a memorial.

".Liao is not peaceful, rebellion continues, various tribes refuse to submit to the Ming Dynasty, only Weiyuan Hou has an outstanding reputation, intimidating the barbarians in all directions. I respectfully request Your Majesty to order Weiyuan Hou to guard Liao. The Jingying is corrupt and incompetent."

After writing the memorial, check it carefully to make sure there are no typos and that the meaning is correct.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we all know your temper."

Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious, and Zhou Yanru took advantage of this character weakness and launched a series of attacks, actively recommending Chen Ran to guard the Liao area.

If Wen Tiren were to help, the emperor would immediately think of Li Chengliang, the former local emperor of Liao.

Let the emperor think that if Chen Ran is left in Liao, he will be the next Li Chengliang, and the plan will be done.

The impeachment of the Beijing Camp in the memorial was a small tail, which was specially exposed for the emperor to see.

After all, Chen Ran, who has made such a great contribution, must have a good place to go in order to convince the people, otherwise he will be criticized and accused of being a cold-hearted emperor.

The emperor was very concerned about his reputation and fame and could not tolerate such things.

Therefore, if they could seize the opportunity of the Beijing Camp, they would arrange for Chen Ran to return to Beijing to reorganize the Beijing Camp.

This matter is considered to be accomplished.

Therefore, understanding a person's character and then taking targeted actions will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As batch after batch of civil servants who wanted to gain benefits entered Liao territory and were constantly slaughtered by the remnants of the Jiannu army led by Dorgon, the voices of impeachment against Chen Ran in the court gradually became louder.

It was said that he was slack. The city of Shenyang had been captured, but Dorgon's army was powerless to do anything about it, which allowed that young man to become famous!
Even Wen Tihen said sinisterly that Chen Ran was committing the crime of nurturing the enemy, which was almost like what Li Chengliang did back then.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had obtained the ladder, was secretly delighted.

He then issued an imperial decree to transfer Weiyuan Hou Chen Ran, and asked him to bring the troops that had participated in the battle back to the capital to report their victory. At the same time, he was appointed as the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army Commander-in-Chief of the Five Military Commanders' Office, and was temporarily in charge of the Beijing camp.

The real boss of the Five Military Commandery was the Grand Commander, who was once the Grand Commander that Xu Da once held.

Later, because of his great power, he was divided into five parts, namely the front, back, left, right and center armies.

The Left Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Governor's Office is basically the first person in the army outside the restoration of the Grand Commander-in-Chief's office system.

In terms of status, he is worthy of Chen Ran's achievement of destroying a country.

Of course, this is just an honor. Apart from the fact that it sounds good and comes with a generous salary, it cannot mobilize a single soldier.

As for the appointment of acting governor of the Beijing camp, it means that he is in charge of the Beijing camp.

However, there is a tail, which is the addition of a "quanzhi" in front, which means temporary agent.

When Chen Ran really reorganized the Beijing camp, Emperor Chongzhen guaranteed that he would never have access to military power again.

After all, he is already the number one in the army and has military power. The suspicious emperor cannot bear it.

Besides, the Beijing Camp is currently managed by the Duke of Yingguo, and the Emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Duke of Yingguo’s generational management of the Beijing Camp.

Now that the Duke of England's son-in-law has taken over, they can't say much.

When Chen Ran has reorganized the Beijing Camp, the emperor will send his confidant to take over, and the Beijing Camp controlled by the Duke of Ying will return to the emperor's hands.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen, who thought he had a good plan, couldn't help laughing like a pig.

Everything is so beautiful and the future is promising.

"The emperor only allows you to lead 3,000 soldiers to the capital." Zhou Yanru, who finally arrived in Shenyang City, couldn't wait to pull Chen Ran into the room, the study, as soon as they met.

"It's as it should be." Chen Ran handed over the brewed ginseng tea. "Except for a fool like Sima Zhong, no emperor would allow the general to lead the army into the capital."

"The emperor asked me to stay and deal with the aftermath, and hinted that I should rebuild the military register." Zhou Yanru, who was exhausted from running around, drank a sip of ginseng tea and felt refreshed. "To put it bluntly, he wants to demolish Liao Town and Dongjiang Town."

"First, we must lay off the soldiers. According to the emperor's suggestion, we must lay off more than half of them."

"The emperor also gave us a list." Zhou Yanru handed the list to Chen Ran with a smile on his face. On it were written "Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao, Wu Xiang, Yang Chun, Ding Guoyong"

Putting down the list, Chen Ran thought for a moment, "They are all old people from Liao Town. There is not a single person from Dongjiang Town or Ji Town. It seems that His Majesty also knows about my purge of Liao Town. Is this to divide the military power?"

"That's right." Zhou Yanru had obviously considered this issue as well. "When you go to the capital, these people will be promoted and stationed in various places to divide the troops and devour all the military power in Liao."

"You still say you are not Emperor Gaozong of Song." Chen Ran also laughed, "You are just getting rid of me now."

"At least I didn't arrange a Fengbo Pavilion for you." Zhou Yanru simply responded, "Not yet."

The study fell into silence, and the two of them drank ginseng tea silently without saying a word.

After a long time, Zhou Yanru couldn't help but ask, "How are you going to deal with it?"

"I already have control over the Beijing camp. I can fit three to four thousand people in there." Chen Ran pondered for a long time and finally said, "Add the three thousand people I took with me, it will be enough."

"As for you, find a reason to gather all the people on the list and keep them under control. Wait for my news."

This time it was Zhou Yanru's turn to remain silent.

As an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years, he had long seen what Chen Ran wanted to do. To be honest, it was understandable.

After all, when one's achievements have reached such a level that they threaten one's master, there are only two possible outcomes.

Either it is groundless, or you live a life of luxury and raise pigs.

Think about his age, think about his military achievements, think about the army he built up, how could he give up?
Marshal Chen is not a blindly loyal person.

It’s true that people in the modern world are bombarded with information and have a strong sense of self.

How can there be such thing as blind loyalty? Being loyal only to yourself is good enough.

"Have you made up your mind?" Chen Ran looked at him with a half-smile. "Are you going to help me, or go and tell on me?"

"Of course I helped you."

Zhou Yanru was also laughing, "If I go and tell on the traitor, I won't end up well either."

He is Chen Ran's benefactor, and this is a fact recognized by everyone.

With this kind of relationship, even if you go and inform on someone, you will not have a good ending, and being able to retire and return home is a luxury.

Moreover, Lord Zhou firmly believed that Chen Ran could accomplish great things. Compared with him, the emperor's skills were as ridiculous as those of a child.

Ever since the emperor agreed to transfer Chen Ran back to Beijing to take over the Beijing camp, it was destined to happen.

Because as long as he brings his troops into the capital, everything will be settled.

With soldiers and horses in hand, you can overturn the table at any time.

"Your Majesty has ordered all the troops involved in the war to return to the capital together." Chen Ran asked calmly, "Is there any good solution?"

"Yes." Zhou Yanru nodded, "Write a letter to Wen Tiren and ask him to say a few words for you."

"say what?"

"Just say that the various departments have come to the capital to see His Majesty, and His Majesty will give out rewards."

Emperor Chongzhen was a frugal person and was reluctant to spend such a large sum of money to reward various departments.

Sure enough, Xing Gaoxue and Chen Ran went to the various departments in the capital together. On the way, they received an imperial edict ordering them to return home.

The Sichuan Army returned to Sichuan, Zhao Luejiao returned to Jizhen, and Man Gui returned to Xuanda, but Man Gui could not be found and there was no news of him as they went deep into the prairie.

Chen Ran appeased the resentful tribes and allocated a portion of the captured spoils to them as travel expenses.

All the departments were very grateful to him and said that they would just follow his orders whenever they had any requests in the future.

The emperor asked Chen Ran to bring three thousand soldiers back to the capital, mainly to escort the captured spoils of the Jiannu.

The Jiannu massacred the Liao people and did business with the Liao town all year round, obtaining a large amount of wealth.

For the emperor who was driven crazy by poverty, this was a life-saving straw.

He trusted Chen Ran's integrity and believed that he inherited the spirit of Wu Mu, so he arranged for him to escort the seized goods instead of letting the Beijing camp do it.

After all, if the Beijing Army were to escort the goods, I'm afraid that only empty boxes would be delivered to the capital.

Chen Ran didn't care about it at all, all these things were his.

Starting from Shenyang City, we went south across the Hunhe River and Liaohe River, and entered Shanhaiguan via Ningjin.

When passing by Santunying, Chen Ran ran to take a look at the small courtyard where he used to live.

Well, the house has collapsed.

More than ten days after leaving Santunying, the army arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

The emperor did not go out of the city thirty miles to welcome him. Among all the officials, only Wen Tihen came, and he came to read the imperial edict.

The emperor did not allow the three thousand soldiers led by Chen Ran to enter the city.

Chen Ran obeyed the order respectfully, arranged for the soldiers to stay in the military camp outside the city, and then got on Wen Tiren's carriage.

"It's really not right to be cautious. Someone is making suggestions."

"Lord." Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, then he understood the situation. "Whose idea was this?"

"It's Qian Qianyi."

"Qian. My scalp is itchy. Qian. The water is too cold. Yi?"

This result was somewhat unexpected. He frowned and said, "Donglin Party is in trouble. Didn't Qian Qianyi go to jail with them?"

"I don't know what your majesty is thinking." Speaking of this, Wen Tiren's face was full of indignation. "You actually began to doubt us and allowed the Donglin Party in prison to submit a memorial."

"It's for checks and balances." Chen Ran blurted out, "The emperor has grown up. It turns out that he grows faster with experience."

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that the emperor reused Sun Chengzong to supervise the Liaodong army that his attitude was changing. At least he did not have such deep hatred for those who were not deeply involved with the Donglin Party.

The government was completely controlled by Zhou Yanru and Wen Tihen, which made the emperor somewhat uneasy, so he thought of introducing marginal figures of the Donglin Party.

Qian Qianyi was also a man of great eloquence. After all, he was able to say something like "the water is too cold and my scalp is itchy". He had great eloquence and even the talented girl Liu was fooled by him.

The emperor is indeed becoming more and more sensible, but...
He lifted the curtain of the carriage and met the eyes of Kong Youde, who was outside disguised as an officer of the Beijing camp.

Kong Youde, with a hideous wound on his face, smiled with his eyebrows squinting, looking a little creepy.

"Growing too slowly, it's too late."
