16. Pampered and arrogant
Well?
Zhu Youzhen turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Yanru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
I couldn't help frowning, "Why?" ”
"Your Majesty, Jiang Ning is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and he has already arrived at the edict issued by the imperial court on the third day of November."
"Doesn't this mean that he set off from Ningyuan without receiving the edict?"
"How did he know?"
"Will the Tartars tell him when they send troops?"
"Besides, not following the clear order to lead troops into Beijing is a great crime of rebellion!"
Zhou Yanru said a lot about Yuan Chonghuan's mistakes, I am afraid that it has been deliberate for a long time.
In the past few days, although he felt that the emperor was a little different from before, he always thought that the emperor was still the emperor who had summoned him alone in the Wenhua Hall and chatted for an afternoon.
The emperor is still an overly suspicious and cautious emperor.
The emperor is still the emperor who once voted for the cabinet, because he was too junior and was not elected, and wanted to find an opportunity to promote him.
Obviously, Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, was deflated again and again, and he still had a bit of pampering and arrogance.
I don't know where he got his confidence?
But how did he know that the Emperor Chongzhen in front of him was no longer a loyal traitor who couldn't distinguish Emperor Chongzhen.
He is pampered and arrogant, and he is "arrogant" a little bit of a place.
"Oh? Hearing Aiqing say this, she is really a little suspicious! ”
Zhu Youzhen looked up at Zhou Yanru for a while, and then said slowly.
He was trying to clean up these incompetent slanderers one by one, and he couldn't help but laugh when he sent another one to the door.
"Your Majesty, by all means, Yuan Inspector Qianliqin King is already a tired army, if you don't supply food and grass, rest in time, I'm afraid that tomorrow the Tartars will attack the city, and you won't be able to resist!"
When Sun Chengzong heard this, he quickly stood up and said.
The people of the imperial court did not know the hardships of the front-line soldiers.
I think about how to check and balance and control the desperate soldiers who are outside every day.
If it weren't for the emperor to reactivate him to build defenses, he really wouldn't want to be in the same palace with these people.
"Lord Sun, don't you want to shield Inspector Yuan?" Zhou Yanru said coldly to Sun Chengzong.
"You ......" Sun Chengzong was really angry and speechless.
If he defends a few more words, he will be said to be a member of the same party, and then many problems will be involved......
"In Zhou Aiqing's opinion, should Guan Ning Tieqi enter the city to rest?"
"Should I welcome Inspector Yuan?"
Zhu Youzhen stared at Zhou Yanru with interest.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks that Guan Ning Tieqi should not enter the city, so as not to have Tartar spies mixed in, and he is also afraid that if Inspector Yuan has two hearts, there will be a sudden change!"
"As for Inspector Yuan personally, he can enter the city, but he can't open the city gate!"
What Zhou Yanru said was really the truth.
"Oh? So how should Yuan Chonghuan enter the city? Zhu Youzhen asked.
"You can hang a basket from the city and let Inspector Yuan come up in the basket!"
"So how is Hauge escorted? Is it possible to hang it from the basket as well? ”
Zhu Youzhen touched his chin and asked.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Zhou Yanru replied very simply.
"I remember that you are the forty-first year of Wanli, the Huiyuan and the champion of Lianzhong?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly asked a digression.
"Thanks to the love of the saint, I still remember the ...... of the humble minister" Zhou Yanru's words sounded humble, but he couldn't hide the arrogant smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, since the war between Daming and the Tartars, the first time I have captured the Tartar generals, I will bother you to go down and take a trip!"
"With Qing's full stomach and the way of Confucius and Mencius, influence the brutality of the Tartars!"
Without waiting for Zhou Yanru to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Do you want your servants to go down from the basket and escort the tartar? ”
Zhou Yanru's smiling face, which had not yet fully bloomed, suddenly froze.
I thought that the emperor would praise him a lot, but where did he think that he would ......
"What's wrong?" Zhu Youzhen asked coldly.
"Your Majesty...... Wechen is a person of merit and fame, this ...... It's too humiliating......"
"That tartar is a savage, fierce and ......"
Zhou Yanru knelt down and begged with a sad face.
Going down from the hanging basket, what is the face of his ritual book?
And the escort is a fierce Tartar, in case he is freed, can he still be good?
"Are you a man of merit? Are you afraid of insulting Sven? ”
"Then Yuan Chonghuan, who was a jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, has no fame? Let him come up from the hanging basket without insulting Sven? ”
Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted.
"If you don't obey the order, throw it directly from the city!"
After that, he led the others down to greet Yuan Chonghuan.
"Spread my will, loosen the ties to the Tartars, and under my nose, he can still run!"
Hearing the will of Zhu Youzhen, who had already turned to the city ladder, Zhou Yanru almost fainted.
The emperor wants his life......
In a few moments, a hanging basket large enough to hold two or three people was sent to the head of the city.
The basket had just been filled with horse manure, and the smell was pungent and unpleasant, and the inside of the basket was even more filthy.
"Your Excellency, please!" The soldiers at the head of the city said politely.
But in my heart, I hate this kind of lord who doesn't hurt when he stands and talks.
How can they not know the hardships of running thousands of miles, and they will not let people enter the city to rest and recuperate, and they will have any peace of mind.
"This ...... Can you change the basket? Zhou Yanru pinched his nose and said.
"Lord Zhou, there is only one basket at the head of the city......"
"Hey...... Be careful when you go down......"
Under the city, Yuan Chonghuan has already received the holy decree.
Directly let go of Haoge, anyway, there are Guan Ning iron horses all around, and he can't run.
"Yuan Chonghuan, what kind of general is surrounding me like this, if you have the ability to come down and fight alone!"
Hauge moved his arm and shouted, "I'm really embarrassed to be home today."
General Houjin, who was the first to be captured, has already lost face.
Especially when he was captured by Yuan Chonghuan, who was born as a civil official, he tried his best to regain a trace of dignity.
Anyway, even if he is injured and goes head-to-head with his bare hands, Yuan Chonghuan will never be his opponent.
If he is lucky enough to go back, he can also boast about how he beat Yuan Chonghuan under the heavy siege of the Ming army......
"No, no, the general's ability, Chonghuan has already seen it, and the person who fights alone has already come down......"
As Yuan Chonghuan spoke, he pointed to Zhou Yanru, who was slowly putting down from the basket.
He heard all the words of the city just now, and this traitor Zhou Yanru frightened him into a cold sweat.
If it weren't for the emperor's sage, it is estimated that he would have suffered.
Then can he still be as good as Zhou Yanru?
"Just him?" Hauge looked at it coldly and yelled.
"Hugh is rude, this is my court's Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhou Yanru Zhou's ......"
Yuan Chonghuan emphasized the four words of the Ministry of Rites.
"Inspector Yuan, you have traveled thousands of miles, defeated the Tartars, and your bravery is commendable......"
As soon as Zhou Yanru came down, he heard Hauge want to go head-to-head, but he never expected that the opponent would be him.
was already frightened, and tried to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, trying to please Yuan Chonghuan, but Haoge had already jumped into the basket.
Beating up a Ming court's Ministry of Rites is also quite majestic.
Immediately shouted, "Nanban, do it!" ”
