Chapter 39: Self-Destruction of the Great Wall

"Yuan Chonghuan united with the Tartars with the intention of rebellion. "Words * love * first * hair" Fan Wencheng repeated the words again.

"This, this, what you said is true," Cao Huachun seemed to be in disbelief, and his speech became stammering.

"Father-in-law, please see, this is our handwritten letter from the Chief Soldier, and it is also stamped with the Great Seal of the General Soldier. Fan Wencheng fumbled with his sleeve for a while, took out a secret letter and handed it to Cao Huachun himself.

Although Cao Huachun is not very literate, he recognizes the Great Seal of the Datong General Army. The huge paper is clearly covered with the seal of the Datong General Army.

"Good, good. Why don't you go to meet the emperor. Come on, prepare a sedan chair. Getting Wang Pu's handwritten letter, Cao Huachun was so excited that he didn't delay for a moment, and immediately prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.

Looking at Cao Huachun's distant back, the corners of Fan Wencheng's mouth showed a subtle smile. Perhaps Cao Huachun never imagined that the secret letter he got was just a generation of pens, and the big seal was just bought by Fan Wencheng from Wang Pu with money. Of course, Wang Pu couldn't have known that his big seal would be used by Fan Wencheng for this.

Although it has passed, the Qianqing Palace is still brightly lit. Chongzhen is still tirelessly reviewing the recital.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Cao has an urgent matter to see the emperor. ”

"Cao Huachun, he's an old boy who isn't resting at home so late, what can he do when he comes to the palace, let him in. Chongzhen took the opportunity to soothe his shoulder, and Wang Chengen, who had been accompanying him, cleverly pushed Chongzhen up in the back, and Chongzhen closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"Slave Cao Huachun see the emperor, long live long live long live. As soon as Cao Huachun came in, he kowtowed and saluted.

"Hehe, what else can you do as a minion, let's say which courtier bullied you. Chongzhen closed his eyes and joked with Cao Huachun, Chongzhen still likes Cao Huachun, a minion. After all, he is also an old man from the palace of the king of letters.

"No, Weichen has a secret report to report to the emperor. Cao Huachun hurriedly argued.

"Oh, you boy still have a secret message, so I'm going to hear it. Come to Chengen, you will also listen to it. Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Yes. The minions obeyed. Wang Chengen, who was behind him, also replied in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret letter from the general soldier of Datong, Wang Pu, who reported Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. Cao Huachun said as he took out a secret letter from his chest and handed it respectfully.

"What," Chongzhen couldn't laugh anymore when he heard this. Wang Chengen hurriedly took the secret letter and handed it over carefully. Chongzhen opened the secret letter and read it from beginning to end, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Bang" Chongzhen smashed his fist on the dragon bank, so frightened that Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun quickly knelt down, "It's the other way around." He Yuan Chonghuan reversed, and dared to negotiate peace with me and the Tartars behind his back, is there still me in his eyes, ah, is there still me," Chongzhen jumped like thunder, and every word and sentence on this letter was like a needle piercing Chongzhen's chest and making him breathless.

"Go, Wang Chengen will arrest Yuan Chonghuan and bring him back to Beijing, and I will interrogate him personally. Chongzhen, who was so angry, didn't want to directly order Wang Chengen to arrest Yuan Chonghuan.

"Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been clarified, if it is too reckless to arrest important ministers of the court with only a handwritten letter. And before Lord Yuan left, the emperor agreed, have you forgotten it," Wang Chengen replied cautiously. Wang Chengen still admires Yuan Chonghuan very much, Wang Chengen does not believe that Yuan Chonghuan will be in the same stream as the Tartars.

"What more evidence do you need, isn't this enough, he Yuan Chonghuan beheaded the Dongjiang General Soldier Mao Wenlong Tartar besieged the Beijing Division without reporting, and he Yuan Chonghuan came to help, isn't this enough to convict him of Yuan Chonghuan's bullying of the king," Chongzhen almost roared when he said these words, what Chongzhen was most afraid of in his life was that others would deceive him, especially a minister like Yuan Chonghuan, who held a heavy army, Chongzhen's heart was even more uneasy.

"Yes, yes" Wang Chengen still wanted to defend Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, but he even claimed that he knew Chongzhen too well, and whoever went up to persuade him at this time would not only have no effect, but would add fuel to the fire and burn himself. ”

Wang Feng's mansion, since he became a first-class uncle and Ji Liao's envoy. Wang Feng settled his home in Beijing. His purpose in doing this is very simple, it is to make Chongzhen feel at ease. After receiving the emperor's edict, Wang Feng did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to Beijing on a light horse.

"Young marshal. Oh no, no. As soon as Wang Feng sat down, Bai Wenxuan outside the door walked in in a hurry, still holding a letter in his hand.

"Did you get any news from Hawkeye," Wang Feng asked, taking the letter.

"That's right, according to the report of our secret agents hidden in the Tartars and the palace, Huang Taiji once sent a secret envoy to visit Yuan Dashuai to discuss the matter of peace, and now the emperor also knows about this matter, but the thunder is furious and suspects that Yuan Dashuai and the Tartars are colluding. Bai Wenxuan said anxiously

"Providence. Providence. Wang Feng held the letter in his hand and shook his head incessantly. When Wang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, he tried his best to avoid the unjust death of Yuan Chonghuan, but he still didn't think that no matter how hard he tried, history would be history after all, and no one could stop the wheel of history.

"Is the young marshal now hurriedly sending someone to inform Yuan Dashuai to let him prepare early, and whether to notify the ministers to write for Yuan Dashuai by the way," Bai Wenxuan thought of several ways in a short time.

"Wen Xuan, although these are all good methods. But you don't know our emperor too well. Now he's angry. If you ask so many ministers to intercede, you will only charge the marshal with a party for personal gain. And even if we go and report to the marshal now, what's the use. It is estimated that he has been closely guarded by the Jinyi guard at this time. At this time, aren't we going there to throw ourselves into the cage," Wang Feng waved his hand and directly rejected Bai Wenxuan's offer.

"Young Marshal, what do you say to do now, do we just sit idly by and watch Yuan Dashuai innocently go to prison," Bai Wenxuan certainly understood how important Yuan Chonghuan was to Da Ming.

"What should we do, we can only pray for Yuan Dashuai to make more gains in the Liaodong battlefield, and don't propose peace. Wang Feng said as he looked at the north with his eyes. "Chongzhen self-destructed the Great Wall, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger. ”

"I hope the Ji people have their own natural appearance. Bai Wenxuan also prayed silently.

"Report, the young marshal Lord Yuan is in danger. Wang Feng had just fallen asleep, and Bai Wenxuan rushed in anxiously, "Yuan Dashuai has already written to the emperor to ask for peace." ”

"What," Wang Feng sat up from the bed, things were developing so fast, "this Yuan Chonghuan has personally pushed himself to the point of no return, and now no one can save him." Wang Feng sat on the bed and muttered quietly
