Chapter 159 Killing Sun Chuanting with Poison
Sun Chuanting looked at the contents of the decree, and frowned tightly.

"These damn things, the world must be messed up by them!"

Sun Chuanting slammed the table suddenly and got up, the anger on his face began to spread.

The order clearly listed Sun Jie's "crime" and explained the current situation at the same time.

It is said that Sun Jie has now become the target of public criticism.

I hope that Sun Chuanting can see the truth of the matter clearly, and don't make mistakes.

From today on, either, continue to be the governor of Shanxi Province (in fact, submit to the civil servants), or, die without a place to bury.

It was very clear, very clear, and the meaning of threat was fully displayed on paper.

Sun Chuanting didn't know what Sun Jie did in Jiangnan, he was not in Sun Jie's command system, so naturally he would not tell him those things.

Now, through the cabinet's decree, he also knows what Sun Jie did in Jiangnan.

If you are a traditional scholar, you may be angry at Sun Jie's behavior.

But Sun Chuanting is not sure.

He didn't have any friendship with the Jiangnan gentry at all. To put it bluntly, even if Sun Jie killed them all, he didn't care.

Sun Chuanting was originally from a military family, and his ancestors were from Zhenwuwei. He lived in a military town when he was a child, surrounded by brave soldiers, and it was difficult to empathize with the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

The same is true of Sun Chuanting in history. As soon as he entered Shaanxi, he attacked the gentry and landlord.

In the past, the Donglin party members did not seldom exclude him.

When the Qin army was formed, the imperial court did not give a penny, and the affluent Jiangnan also did not have a dime.

It is impossible for Sun Chuanting to stand on their side for no reason.

To put it bluntly, no matter how stupid Sun Chuanting was, he wouldn't be ordered by the cabinet to submit directly to them.

"When I suppressed the bandits, I didn't say a penny, and they made things difficult for me everywhere.

Now, it is ridiculous to let me be your pawn with just a letter of order!
His Majesty was in a coma and let the prince supervise the country. What kind of country can a ten-year-old baby supervise?

I'm afraid it's a puppet in your palm, and its heart can be punished! "

Sun Chuanting stood at the door of the study, shaking his head with a livid face.

The civil servants wanted to deal with Sun Jie. Judging from this posture, the two were incompatible.

If he surrendered to the civil servants, how would Sun Chuanting, a pawn of the horse, end up well?
Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that as soon as his side agreed, Sun Jie would send troops to attack.

He has experienced the power of Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, but he doesn't want to experience it again.

You know, he, Sun Chuanting, is on Sun Jie's territory.

As for the defection, it belongs to Sun Jie.

At the moment, he hasn't thought about it, or even thought about it.

After all, Sun Jie was just an official of the imperial court.

In terms of rank, Sun Chuanting is still older than Sun Jie.

After being so frightened by the court, he returned to Sun Jie. Isn't that bone too soft?

How can a person with a gully in his chest make decisions so easily?
Sun Chuanting was walking in the front yard with his hands behind his back, pacing slowly, thinking about his way forward.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng walked in from the outside.

He didn't know anything about things in the south of the Yangtze River, even though he was from Changzhou Prefecture in Nanzhili.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Sun Chuanting in the yard, and shouted, "Is something wrong, Mr. Sun? You are frowning?!"

Sun Chuanting stopped and looked at Lu Xiangsheng, his frown relaxed.

"So it's Brother Lu!"

He arched his hands towards Lu Xiangsheng and said.

Lu Xiangsheng returned a salute and said, "Brother Sun, what's the matter today?"

"There is something, the matter is not small!"

Sun Chuanting pointed to the stone bench in the yard, signaling to sit down and talk.

After sitting down, Sun Chuanting explained what happened just now.

It's not an important matter, let alone a secret matter, so it's okay to tell Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng's mood, which was relatively relaxed at first, was suppressed to the extreme in an instant.

"Snapped!"

He suddenly slapped his thigh, pointed to the east and cursed: "How dare these bastards really dare to do this?
I just said, why did His Majesty drive me out of Beijing? I'm afraid, these people are all behind! "

His face was gloomy like ice in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and anger was burning in his chest.

"Brother Sun, do you really want to be their pawn?
Today's Xi'an Mansion, you have also seen it with your own eyes.Gather refugees, resume production, everything is getting better and better.

If there is another war, Shaanxi may be corrupted again.

At that time, the thieves will rise up again, and slaves will be established and invaded by the bandits. In this world, I am afraid that the country will not be a country. "

Lu Xiangsheng's face was full of worry.

Although Sun Chuanting also told him what Sun Jie did in Jiangnan, Lu Xiangsheng didn't quite believe it.

As a native of Jiangnan, he certainly knew how shameless the people there were.

Back then, even the tax eunuch sent by Emperor Tianqi dared to kill, let alone Sun Jie.

Based on preconceived ideas, he only thought that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River was farting.

Sun Chuanting also has this idea, but he still prefers that this matter is true.

Sun Jie is ruthless, he has personally experienced it.

President Sun Chuanting sighed: "Of course I don't want to do this, but if I can escape the first day of junior high school, how can I escape the fifteenth day?

Don't forget, the current supervisor of the country is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how old is he?What should I do if I am bewitched by those traitors and give me an imperial decree? ! "

"They dare?!"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were wide open, and he gnashed his teeth and cursed.

But immediately, the anger gradually slipped, and helplessness rose again.

According to Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of those people, they really dared.

Anyway, the imperial decree was issued by the crown prince, and when Chongzhen woke up, the matter had already been done. Even if he wanted to punish the crime, he would have to punish the prince first.

Wanting to understand all this, Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the east and cursed.

After a long time, his hoarse and helpless voice sounded.

"Then how about you?!"

Lu Xiangsheng sat slumped on the stone bench, as if his soul had been sucked out.

Sun Chuanting squeezed the beard on his chin, and said sadly: "Sun Jie and I are old, although we were at odds back then, but he helped me.

Let me be a pawn of the imperial court, I can't do it.But the imperial court is an imperial court after all, even though it is controlled by traitors, it is still an imperial court.

In a few days, I will lead the army and go to Shangluo Mountain to suppress the bandits! "

It's true that the two don't mess with them, and the two don't pay attention to each other, and they pick themselves up clean.

"Brother Sun, really, do you really want to do this? General Sun, he is a good man. Could it be that you just watched the court treacherous deal with him? Do you want Yue Wumu's old incident to repeat itself?"

Lu Xiangsheng's voice grew louder, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"What can I do? Brother Lu, if you are, what can you do?

Now that you are unofficial and light-hearted, the turmoil of the court will not affect you. I am different.

I lead these tens of thousands of soldiers, if I am not careful, I will end up dead.

It doesn't matter if I die, the soldiers in my hands are gone, so what should I do?Do you expect the court soldiers to wipe out the bandits?Just wishful thinking! "

Sun Chuanting's voice also became a little louder, and the helplessness on his face became heavier.

Lu Xiangsheng scratched his head with an angry look on his face.

His thighs slapped, and he kept cursing: "Damn it, what kind of world is this!"

Sun Chuanting wanted to avoid it, but could things go as he wished?
How could those gangsters in the capital spare him?
……

The cabinet's decree went to Shaanxi, but there has been no response.

People like Zhou Yanru and Zhang Zhiji were also abrupt, fearing that this matter would not succeed.

It's really that Sun Jie is too powerful, who can kill thousands of slaves, how can he be a simple character?
It was never easy to deploy troops to fight. From the issuance of military orders, to the transportation of grain and grass, and the issuance of military orders, in the general environment of the late Ming Dynasty, there was no movement for ten days and a half months.

This is still an ideal state. If there are other chores, the time will only be delayed longer.

The soldiers and horses from Liaodong had not yet reached the capital, only a small part followed Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, and most of them were still on the way.

The same is true for Zuo Liangyu, most of them are still on the way.

As for Huang Taiji, he had to bypass the long grassland to go to Shaanxi, which was farther away.

During the period when the soldiers and horses were not in place, Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses stationed in Shaanxi were particularly important.

If used well, it will work wonders.

But Sun Chuanting never replied, which made these people in the court feel uneasy and didn't know what to do.

After discussion by Zhou Yanru and the others, they came up with a desperate and sinister method.

The civil officials headed by Zhou Yanru, and the nobles headed by Zhang Zhiji, petitioned Zhu Cihong to issue an imperial decree to take back Sun Chuanting's military power and make him surrender.

The imperial decree was drafted by the cabinet. What does a ten-year-old doll know?He was literally taken aback by Zhou Yanru.

However, Cao Huachun is not a fool.

He is the eunuch in charge of the chief of ceremonies, if he disagrees, don't try to affix the imperial decree of the cabinet.

Cao Huachun, as the most loyal eunuch of Chongzhen, how could he watch Zhou Yanru and others do deceitful things?

However, he still underestimated these people and their shamelessness.

After the "three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty", the "fourth major case - the seizure of seals" broke out.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, on June [-]th, a drunken man in the street rushed into the Forbidden Palace with a knife and gun, intending to "assassinate", but he went unimpeded until outside the palace.

Cao Huachun and other eunuchs turned pale with fright, and quickly mobilized people to stop them.

At the same time, a group of green-skinned hooligans wearing black scarves rushed into the office of the Supervisor of Rites and snatched the seal inside.

The cabinet headed by Zhou Yanru "attached great importance" to the Beijing camp, took down the drunk, and at the same time pursued Dayin.

A day later, Dayin was recovered.

When Dayin returned to the Sili Supervisor, a group of more than a hundred strong men headed towards Shaanxi.

The leader had several imperial edicts in his arms.

He was Zhou Yanru's domestic slave, and the people behind him were either the British Duke's domestic slave, or the civil servants of the Ministry of War, or the soldiers of Liaodong.

The headed man had not only the imperial decree, but also a pack of arsenic in his arms.

No one knows the origin of these edicts better than Zhou Yanru and the others.

If Sun Chuanting finds out, then he has to use the second method - poisoning.

After killing Sun Chuanting, use other imperial decrees to promote and reward Sun Chuanting's subordinates, and seize the opportunity to seize Sun Chuanting's military power.

Then, control Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses, attack Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, and try to disrupt Xi'an Mansion as much as possible, delaying the arrival of the army.

If possible, massacre the city of Xi'an at the same time.

The killing intent came towards Sun Chuanting.

Who can stay out of the stormy sea?
It's just a small boat on the vast ocean, how can it resist the big waves that cover the sky and block out the sun? !

Sun Chuanting thought that he could be separated, but he didn't know that in the eyes of those civil officials, he had already become a flag.

It's never a good way to have the source of both sides, block the left and the right.

……

Time to enter July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

In this hot day, Sun Chuanting broke out of the camp and went out of the city to Shangluo Mountain.

Walking near Lantian, he met someone from the capital.

Before the army, he knelt on the ground.

His head was pressed tightly to the ground.

A strong man held the imperial decree and stood in front of him, reading aloud in a condescending posture.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, made a statement: ... ordered Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi Province, to respect the order of the cabinet, and what he said was as if I were here in person, and there must be no error..."

The strong man's voice kept echoing, and Sun Chuanting felt dizzy.

Unexpectedly, the worrying thing still happened.

However, how could he surrender so easily?
He raised his head, looked at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Is the imperial decree issued by His Majesty, or by His Royal Highness? Or, by the cabinet?!"

The strong man's already cold face was full of murderous intent.

However, it disappeared quickly.

"Master Sun, this is beyond the knowledge of villains.

However, let Master Sun accept the order.This, after all, is the imperial court's will! "

The strong man closed the imperial edict and looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile.

Sun Chuanting wanted to ask again, but after thinking about it, he came up with a solution.

Since the orders of the cabinet are the main ones, then resort to dragging words.

Reasons such as "starting silver" are not enough, and soldiers "have a headache and brain fever" can always delay time.

Sun Chuanting is a person who is loyal to Chongzhen, but it does not mean that he will be loyal to Zhou Yanru and the others.

After finally accumulating so many soldiers and horses, how can they let Zhou Yanru and the others consume them?
Dragging the words is his last resort now.

"Sir, take the lead!"

Sun Chuanting shouted long live and received the imperial edict.

Seeing Sun Chuanting receiving the imperial edict, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, this group of people took out the cabinet decree they had prepared and ordered Sun Chuanting to return to Xi'an Mansion.

Sun Chuanting accepted the order and led the troops back.

But procrastinating along the way, the road of ten miles can take a whole day.

From time to time, there will be moths, and even "deserters" will appear.

When the "deserters" came out, Sun Chuanting led his men and horses to chase after him at full speed.

Come and go, time goes by day by day.

After walking for seven or eight days in such a short distance, I stayed in place.

People from the capital had a headache and sent news to the capital.

Zhou Yanru and others who received the news couldn't wait any longer and ordered him to kill Sun Chuanting with poison and seize his soldiers and horses.

……

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Shaanxi has started to dry up again.

That night, Sun Chuanting stationed troops and horses by the Chanshui River.

The dry river is like a child's urine, turbid and yellow.

Sun Chuanting stood on the bank of the river, looked at the soldiers fetching water, and said to the strong man beside him: "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to obey the imperial court's orders, it's because Shaanxi is severely drought, and the place is poor, so there is no way to speed up! "

The brawny man smiled and said, "Master Sun said that Shaanxi has been difficult for a long time, and the imperial court naturally understands it!"

A trace of cruelty flashed deep in the eyes.

Sun Chuanting was a little surprised, he was surprised that this group of people could say such a thing.
