Chapter 52
Gao Xinghao, who went south to Bozhou to buy grain, was arrested, and even the money that the second brother Gao was counting on was also in vain, which put him in a situation where money and food were about to run out, and made the second brother face a big crisis.

It was Gao Yihuan's idea to go to Bozhou to buy food. He arranged for Gao Yihao and others to do it. Now Gao Yihao has a problem. He will be abandoned, and I am afraid that he will not go all out to do things for him.

This time, no matter it was because of money or food, or to make Hao and others happy, the second brother of Bozhou City would fight to solve the current crisis.However, although Bozhou is only a county seat, the strength of the second elder brother alone is difficult to sustain, so he must find some helpers.

Liu Heizi's Yongcheng is in the east of Bozhou, while Gao Erge's Luyi is in the west of Bozhou, and the two cities just sandwich Bozhou in the middle.Liu Heizi became Gao Erge's best ally when he wanted to fight Bozhou.

When Gao Yihuan stepped up his military training, waited for Liu Heizi's reply, and prepared to attack Bozhou to solve his immediate crisis, this big crisis was also being transported in the city of Beijing.

Beijing City, the Yamen of the Ministry of War, more than a dozen soldiers, followed by an internal official holding a yellow scroll, walked into the lobby, and the officials in the Yamen immediately gave way to both sides.

The internal officer went straight into the courtroom, looked at a senior official in a crimson robe sitting in front of the case, and said in the unique voice of an internal servant: "Sima, if you accept the order, come with us!"

The sitting official remained motionless, with one last hope in his heart, "I want to meet His Majesty!"

"Da Sima, the city is full of wind and rain, and His Majesty will not see you!" The servant shook his head, "Your Majesty said that Da Sima humiliated the country with private funds, and should be punished according to the national law."

Hearing this, the senior officer in the scarlet robe felt desolate in his heart, and with trembling hands, he slowly removed the black sand from the top of his head, and put it on the table in front of him.

Before July of the 15th year of Chongzhen, although the Ming Dynasty had just experienced the defeat of Songshan, Kaifeng was besieged by intruders, the country was in internal and external troubles, and the country was already in turmoil. However, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse However, it is not that the imperial court has no cards to play. Several cabinet ministers also made a series of countermeasures when they were ordered to face danger.

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty, between resisting foreign enemies and smoothing out internal strife, returned to the decision to settle the interior first.

Under the recommendation of Chen Xinjia, Sun Chuanting became the governor of Shaanxi, Ding Qirui supervised the generals of Huguang, Yang Wenyue led the troops of Baoding, and the newly appointed governor of Henan, Hou Xun, had already formed a certain degree of blockade against the invading army in Kaifeng.

If the time is sufficient, the food and payment are complete, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life rectify their troops and horses to form a cooperation, it is not impossible to eliminate Li Chuang.

However, the world at present is not just a game between the official army and Li Chuang, there is also a hungry wolf lying outside the pass, watching the Central Plains all the time.

From a geographical point of view, it seems that the British Empire is the crap stick of the European continent. It pursues equilibrium on the continent, and whoever beats whoever is strong. At this time, the barbarians outside the customs are undoubtedly in this role. They will not sit back and watch the Ming army wipe out Li Chuang.

The Ming court naturally knew this, and the cabinet, in order to hold back the barbarians outside the pass, the academician Xie Sheng timidly recommended Chen Xinjia to the emperor, preparing to negotiate a peace with the Qing army in secret.

After the Battle of Songshan, the elite of the Ming Dynasty were completely lost, and they had no power to fight back against the Qing army.

Under such circumstances, high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen both wanted peace talks. They wanted to stabilize the Qing army and destroy the bandits first. However, the current public opinion environment in the Ming Dynasty did not allow the court to discuss peace.

A large number of middle-level speech officials who are proud of scolding the emperor, the chief minister, and the cabinet.

This group of people claim to be a country, but they don't know much about farts. They rely on their so-called righteousness to open their mouths at will. They are full of complaints about the current situation, thinking that if they change, they will be able to turn the tide and eliminate internal and external troubles.

The Ming Dynasty had long had a tradition of scolding the emperor and officials. By this time, the public opinion of the government and the public had been kidnapped by these people.

Chongzhen and the cabinet wanted to negotiate a peace, but they couldn't be aboveboard, so they could only do it secretly.

When Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, talked with Lu Yifang, the prefect, he asked him not to leak the news of the peace talks, fearing that if the news spread, it would be detrimental to Chen Xinjia. information.

In June, Xie Qian, a scholar of the University, saw the rumors in Beijing, so he immediately recruited the officials in Beijing, implying that the peace negotiation was the emperor's intention, and told them not to talk too much.

They think that Xie Qian wants to deceive the saints, and the Lord and traitor, how can the dignified Ming make peace with the barbarians?

At this time, Chongzhen had been kidnapped by public opinion. He repeatedly denied that he had no intention of negotiating peace, and did not dare to come out to speak for Xie Qian. I dare not speak anymore.

At this time, the Emperor Chongzhen saw the excitement of the crowd, and hurriedly told Chen Xinjia in private not to disclose the matter of the peace negotiation. However, perhaps because of bad luck in the Ming Dynasty, a child of Chen Xinjia mistook a secret report of the peace negotiation and handed it to the Yamen. The copying made the matter of the peace negotiation public, causing an uproar among the officials, and hundreds of officials mobilized to attack.

If you are able to win a fight and not fight, but still make peace with the enemy, it can be regarded as traitorous, but if you can't fight, you have the opportunity to take a breather and fight again, but you still insist on it, that is also a problem.Sometimes the main battle is not beneficial to the country, and not all the main peace is traitors.

Seeing that the matter had been leaked, Chen Xinjia signaled to Emperor Chongzhen that he wanted the emperor to speak for him, but Emperor Chongzhen had said before that he didn't know about the peace talks, so he didn't want to slap himself in the face.

Now Chongzhen saw that the situation was expanding again, so he didn't give him a hand. Instead, he issued a stern imperial decree, severely criticizing Xinjia, asking him to explain himself, and taking responsibility for it.

Now Chen Xinjia became a wall and was pushed by everyone. He couldn't bear the pressure and simply revealed the matter, saying that the peace negotiation had the emperor's acquiescence, and he didn't think he was guilty of negotiating the peace, but felt that he had contributed to the court.

As a result, Chongzhen was furious, and took Chen Xinjia to prison without hesitation.

At this time, Xie Sheng, the academician who was in favor of the peace negotiation, was dismissed from office, and Chen Xinjia, who was in charge of it, was imprisoned again. The Ming Dynasty terminated the peace talks.

In Bauhinia City, in the imperial palace, Emperor Chongzhen was seated on the dragon chair. Dozens of people including Xu Shiqi, Minister of Criminal Affairs, Shen Xun, Ma Jiazhi and others kneeled in the center of the hall, criticizing Chen Xinjia's fault vigorously. The country, according to the law of the lost city, beheaded immediately!"

Chongzhen's chest rose and fell, "In the current situation, if you are Xinjia, you may not be as good as him."

······
Now that peace talks are no longer possible, the Qing army must take advantage of the momentum to enter the Kou Pass, and the Ming Dynasty has one less way to go. Right now, the strong men will cut off their wrists and move the court back to Nanjing, throwing away the burden of the north, or quickly wipe out the intruders, and then transfer The soldiers returned to defend against the Qing army.

In the southern city of Beijing, several teams of fast horses rushed out and sent urgent orders to Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi, Zuo Liangyu in Huguang, and Yang Wenyue in Baoding.

Going north to Daming Mansion and Baoding's barracks, a troop of cavalry galloped into the camp.Governor Yang Wenyue and daimyo prefect Lu Yifang were discussing matters when the curtain was suddenly lifted by a general, and he hurriedly saluted, "Report to the Governor, an urgent order from the Ministry of War."

Yang Wenyue held onto his sleeve with one hand, took the order from the general with the other, and opened it to look at it, his face turned pale instantly.

"Mr. Yang, what's going on?" Lu Yifang, who was at the side, saw Yang Wenyue's expression and couldn't help asking anxiously.

Yang Wenyue slowly closed the decree, and heaved a long sigh. His whole body had aged a lot. He was silent for a while, and then he said: "Oh, people's words are terrible! The peace negotiation failed, and Chen Shangshu was locked up and sent to prison. , Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of War to force me to enter the army and quickly break the siege."

The situation that worried Yang Wenyue and Lu Fangyi the most finally appeared~
