Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 146 Public Trial (2)

Liaodong is an unavoidable topic in the Ming Dynasty's political circle. It is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty, it is related to the face of the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is related to...

But gradually, the topic of Liaodong changed. It was mixed with too many interests. The family thief Shuo Shu's collusion led to the fact that the more the Son of Heaven paid more attention to Liaodong, the more blood was spilled.

From Yang Gao to Yuan Chonghuan, during the arm wrestling with Jianlu, Daming changed more than ten Liaodong economic strategists and governors, and the territory was lost again and again, which is ironic.

"minister……"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was isolated by Emperor Chongzhen, showed a flustered expression on his face, and said in a broken voice: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation..."

At this moment, the eyes of all the people gathered here were focused on Yuan Chonghuan, but Zhao Liaojiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other Liaodong generals who knelt on one knee became confused.

What the emperor asked Yuan Chonghuan was all what Yuan Chonghuan said and did. He was not at all in a fit of anger, but blindly accused Yuan Chonghuan of why Jianlu would kill him in Daming Pass.

The more calmly the Son of Heaven asked, the more flustered they became.

In these years, the imperial court allocated so much money and food to Liaodong, and also gave a lot of official positions, but in the end, the family was stolen by Jianlu, what a matter.

"Can't tell, can you?"

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan babbled and didn't know what to say, to explain his question, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said, "It's okay Yuan Qing, I'm here to remind you, I'm familiar with this matter.

That...Wang Qing, take the secret letter written to me by my dog ​​slave, Huang Taiji, when I was still in Sanhe, and give it to Yuan Qing for him to recall. "

When saying this, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand, turned to look at Wang Qia, Li Banghua beside him changed slightly.

As for the people who heard this, many of them showed surprised expressions, especially generals such as Zhao Shoujiao, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang.

What's the situation?

"The minister... receives the decree."

When everyone was astonished and astonished, Wang Qia cupped his hands trembling slightly, then took out the letter that he carried close to his body, and walked towards Yuan Chonghuan, who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, under the watchful eyes of many people.

"..."

Wang Qia walked up to Yuan Chonghuan, didn't speak, bent down and handed out the letter in his hand, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Wang Qia's hand holding the letter trembling slightly, he was surprised, hesitated for a moment, took the letter, straightened his back, but The letter was not opened.

"Yuan Qing, open it and have a look."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on his chair and said with a smile: "After reading the secret letter that my dog ​​slave wrote to me, maybe you can recall something."

"Your Majesty..."

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who had a complex expression, saw the smiling Emperor Chongzhen, hesitated to speak, and saw the eyes of everyone waiting, all of them gathered on him, so Yuan Chonghuan pretended to be calm, opened the envelope, and took out the letter inside. , opened it, and quickly looked at it.

"What do you think will be the secret letter written to His Majesty for the establishment of the slave chieftain? Why did Your Majesty ask Yuan Chonghuan to read it?"

"Be quiet, what is your posture now, you fucking..."

When Yuan Chonghuan opened the envelope, there were some discussions among the crowd gathered here, but the voice was very low, but Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the chair, could hear some of it.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's expression, from hesitant to speak, to slight changes, to surprise, and then to excitement, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and Yuan Chonghuan's psychological defense line was broken by him a little.

"His Majesty!!!"

Yuan Chonghuan emotionally held the letter in his hand, knelt on the ground and shouted: "This is the emperor Taiji, the chief slave of Jianlu, who framed the minister. I have never done such things before!! These are all nonsense, minister. It belongs to Daming..."

At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan was greatly shocked in his heart. The contents of the letter he read could be said to be heart-wrenching. He didn't allude to his collaborating with the enemy at all, but said it directly.

From the Great Victory in Ningyuan, to the Great Victory in Ningjin, to the killing of Mao Wenlong without authorization, etc., each and every one of them clearly stated...

Listening to what the emotional Yuan Chonghuan said, the crowd gathered here looked at Yuan Chonghuan and Emperor Chongzhen with different expressions, but they secretly wondered what the content of the letter was.

"Yuan Qing, why are you so excited?"

Emperor Chongzhen moved his fingers, looked at Yuan Chonghuan indifferently, and said: "I know that when Jianlu invaded our Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji, a dog slave, wrote this secret letter to me just to make me angry During the war, Yuan Qing was arrested and questioned.

Changing generals before the battle, killing generals, I remember that in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such a scene was written, right?

Huang Taiji, a dog slave, actually regards me so superficially, as if I would be like some civil servants who commanded troops out of Liaodong before, and they all pay attention to their so-called battle of benevolence and righteousness.

Haha, I have to say that Huang Taiji still thinks highly of Yuan Qing, and he understands Yuan Qing's every move in Liaodong so clearly. "

"His Majesty……"

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's irrelevant answer, Yuan Chonghuan felt the killing intent. Perhaps what he said earlier was nothing, but the last sentence the emperor said contained killing intent in every word.

"Li Qing, come here."

Ignoring Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen turned around, looked at Li Banghua and said, "I remember that when Yuan Qing gave a memorial to the Jimiyong Sanxie to eliminate troops and reduce wages, you must have submitted a memorial to oppose it."

While saying these words, Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhao Ratejiao and others who were kneeling on one knee, paused, and said, "What are you kneeling for? Stand up, I said, I want to discuss with Yuan Qing."

"Wow wow..."

When Zhao led them to stand up hesitantly, Li Banghua stepped forward under the pressure, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed given such a memorial."

Everyone present knew that the Son of Heaven was going to severely punish Yuan Chonghuan this time, and now Yuan Chonghuan was labeled as a possible collaborator, which was a big deal.

Looking at the changes in the expressions of the people behind him, a flash of light flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes. It seemed that he had stripped Yuan Chonghuan's psychological defenses little by little, and separated Yuan Chonghuan from everyone, and formed a social death scene. It works.

Inverting Yuan is a political means to be done, but at this stage, other generals and officials are involved. It is still not enough. Yuan Chonghuan, this person, he has to take back to Shenjing to play games with the group of ministers in the court to achieve his own goals. Political aims and schemes.
