The dimly lit prison does not see sunlight all year round, and the pungent smell that often emanates from the cell is disgusting. The prison was unusually quiet, and time seemed to stand still here.

The prison of the Criminal Department is full of serious prisoners, and the people who come here can only enter and leave, and in the deepest part of the prison, a man with a cloak is writing on the wall.

A rush of footsteps came from outside the cell, and a cell leader led a man in a black robe to him. "Please," the cell boss opened the cell door and held out his hand in a gesture of please.

The black-robed man took out a piece of silver from his body, and stuffed it into the hand of the cell boss without saying anything, and the cell boss gently weighed it, and his face was smiling, and his attitude became more attentive.

Waiting for the cell boss to walk away, the black-robed man knelt down on one knee towards the man, "Dashuai, you have suffered. ”

Hearing the familiar voice, the man slowly turned around, and suddenly two lines of tears came out of his eyes, "Tingguang, the old man knows that you will definitely come, you will come." The man helped up the black-robed man, this black-robed man was none other than Wang Feng, who had been rescuing him to no avail.

"The handsome Wang Feng is useless, I can't save you from fire and water, and I should die if I live up to the expectations of the Liaodong brothers. Speaking of this, Wang Feng's eyes were a little moist. In the days when Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, the generals of Liaodong, in addition to writing to the emperor, repaired the book one after another, and Wang Feng expressed his willingness to rescue Yuan Chonghuan. Wang Feng did try countless times, but after all kinds of encounters, Wang Feng knew that he could only be weak.

"Come on, get up. Yuan Chonghuan patted Wang Feng's hand gently, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck." The old man is more than forty years old this year, and the fame and fortune that he should have already had, when I gave up my pen and followed Rong, I had already put life and death out of the way. The only thing I can't let go of now is the situation in Liaodong. ”

"Don't say that, the emperor will believe you. It will get better, and the soldiers of Liaodong are still looking forward to the return of the marshal. Handsome. Although Wang Feng felt that Yuan Chonghuan was already nine deaths, he still comforted him.

"None of this matters, the old man's situation is very clear now. What the old man is worried about is that after the old man's death, there will be no commander in Liaodong, and the Tartars will take advantage of the weakness. Therefore, Tingguang, you must promise me that after my death, you must take on the heavy responsibility of Liaodong. On the day when Liaodong is recovered, you must sue me at my grave. Yuan Chonghuan looked at the young man beside him with expectant eyes. He has commanded Liaodong for many years, and Yuan Chonghuan has known countless people. But he felt that there were not many people who were handsome and talented, and Wang Feng was one.

"Great. Wang Feng knelt down and shouted.

Although Wang Feng's arrival delayed Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment, it still did not change the fate of Yuan Chonghuan's killing. In April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was sentenced to Ling Chi by Chongzhen for collaborating with the enemy and treason. When the news reached Liaodong, all the soldiers were dressed in white clothes to express their nostalgia for this handsome.

"Bastards, do they want to rebel," Chongzhen fell, and the Tang newspaper and the secret report of Jinyiwei handed over by the military department made him furious, he had just killed Yuan Chonghuan, and in the name of treason, but all the soldiers in Liaodong ignored it completely, and dared to give Yuan Chonghuan a hemp and filial piety, and the most infuriating thing was that the two cities of Tashan Daxingbao, which had been restored, were recaptured by the Tartars on the day Yuan Chonghuan was killed. How could Chongzhen accept this.

"Could it be that I am really wrong," Chongzhen also had this thought in his heart, but it was just a flash, Chongzhen absolutely did not admit that he was wrong, how could he be wrong as the king of a country. "Who is the leader in Liaodong, send someone to arrest me. There must be no black sheep in the Liaodong Army. ”

"The emperor thinks twice. As soon as Yuan Chonghuan died, the Liaodong army was already unstable. If you arrest people again at this time, it will change. "Chen Xinjia, who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, really knows this ruffian in Liaodong too well. If they are in a hurry, they will really do anything. ”

"Chen Xinjia, do you mean I'm wrong," Chongzhen yelled as he slapped the table.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare. Chen Xinjia really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

"Zhou Yanru, tell me, what to do now," Chongzhen pointed at Shoufu Zhou Yanru with an angry face.

It seemed that he had expected the emperor's question, but Zhou Yanru seemed unflustered, and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that the top priority is not to hold anyone responsible, Yuan Chonghuan has just died, and the dragons of Liaodong have no leader, at this time, the emperor should send another capable general to Liaodong to stabilize the morale of the army." ”

After listening to Zhou Yanru's words, Chongzhen's face softened slightly, "Then Aiqing thinks who is the most suitable to send?"

"The minister thinks it is appropriate to be loyal to Bo Wang Feng. First, the uncle had just defeated the Tartars in Liaodong, and the uncle was also the envoy of Ji Liao, so it was his job to stabilize Liaodong. "Zhou Yanru is an old and spicy person, and he has always thought that he has the ability to recognize people. In Zhou Yanru's view, Wang Feng is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"Wang Feng," Chongzhen kept pacing, it stands to reason that Wang Feng is indeed the best candidate for the head coach of Liaodong. Moreover, he also had the ambition of recovering Liao in four years, and now he is in Beijing to send him to indeed stabilize the hearts of the soldiers of Liaodong. But Chongzhen is worried about the relationship between Wang Feng and Yuan Chonghuan. Although Wang Feng did not intercede for Yuan Chonghuan this time, after all, Wang Feng and Yuan Chonghuan had worked together for a while, and no one could guarantee what he thought in his heart.

"No, Wang Feng is still not suitable, I am ready to marry him. For the time being, it is better for him to stay in Jingshi. Chongzhen thought about it and still rejected the appointment of Wang Feng as the head coach of Liaodong. Chongzhen didn't want a second Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong.

"Wang Feng is going to be married," and the news still came out of the emperor's mouth, Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia, these old ministers were taken aback, they didn't expect that this Wang Feng had just entered the imperial court for a few days, and it was a great honor to be able to get the marriage of the emperor's majesty.

"There is another candidate here for the emperor, I don't know if it is suitable. Chen Xinjia, who had been kneeling, remembered someone.

"Who," Chongzhen asked impatiently.

"Yansui Governor Hong Chengchou" Chen Xinjia blurted out.

"Hong Maniac," Zhou Yanru didn't expect that this Chen Xinjia recommended it was Hong Maniac, Zhou Yanru knew this Hong Maniac too well, and he was indeed a good hand at fighting, but it was too cruel. I heard that he had killed tens of thousands of thieves. Thinking about Zhou Yanru, I felt afraid.

"Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou" Chongzhen weighed repeatedly, "Isn't this Hong Chengchou exterminating the chaotic party, as soon as he leaves this chaotic party" Although Chongzhen also wants to transfer this Hong Chengchou, he is afraid that he, a thief, will also come back from the dead.

"Isn't the emperor Sun Chuanting also in Shaanxi, and he can be transferred to the governor of Shaanxi to be responsible for the task of exterminating the thieves. Chen Xinjia had already started, and hurriedly recommended it to Chongzhen.

"Yes, why did I forget him. "Chongzhen clapped his hands" to spread my will, transferred Hong Chengchou as the secretary of the military department, the governor of Jiliao and Liaodong took the military affairs of Liaodong, and transferred Sun Chuanting to serve as the governor of Shaanxi to be responsible for exterminating the thieves in the territory. ”
