Section 654 The big joke of history

Let's say that Chen Xinjia was sprinkled with enthusiasm, wrote a large number of twists and turns, and after careful revision, he felt that there was no problem, and then went out of the room, and there was no one.

The things in the outer room were well placed, he took the document of the conditions for the peace talks in the outer room and Huang Taiji's letter as an attachment, and together with the fold, he took it in his hand, went out immediately, took the guard of honor, and sat in front of the sedan chair to the palace to report the good news to the emperor!

It was afternoon, the palace gate had not yet been closed, and when he heard that he was coming, there was an urgent matter, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately met him in the Qianqing Palace.

When Emperor Chongzhen carefully read the folds, the documents on the conditions of the peace talks, and Huang Taiji's letter, his pale and thin face was full of joy!

He said excitedly, "Good! Good! Good! ”

In the peace talks between the two sides, at first he was worried that the Beiyu Lion would open his mouth and offer unacceptable conditions, but he didn't expect Huang Taiji to be so reasonable, and the conditions were so lenient, which was beyond his expectations.

The annual coin is 10,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, 200,000 horses of satin, and 1 million horses of cloth is really nothing.

The key is that once a treaty is signed with the Qing State, the morale of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly boosted, and the elite border army can be moved to the interior to suppress those rogues.

Their end has come!

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the Liukou is really a low-grade product, and the combat effectiveness is not on the table.

"I'm ready!" Emperor Chongzhen said happily: "Qing can go to the oath instead of me, and when Qing completes his return, he will enter the cabinet!" ”

Chen Xinjia was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

In his opinion, with Huang Taiji's attitude, the success of the Ming and Qing Dynasty talks is appropriate, returning to Beijing as a hero, and the northern captives of the three dynasties of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen have finally come to an end, then he Chen Xinjia entered the cabinet as a person, changing the practice that non-Jinshi cannot enter the cabinet, who dares to say a word.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, he was in tears, and he could use this news to tell the temple and give an explanation to his ancestors, so that he could sleep at night, so that he would not be able to count the police a day and not sleep at night.

Both of them did not speak, and fell into a wild thought, until a faint commotion came from the noon gate, getting louder and louder, and Emperor Chongzhen said unhappily: "What's going on?" Come on, go and see. ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Wang Chengen holding a piece of paper in his hand, and he broke in in a panic, rushed to the case of Emperor Chongzhen and knelt down, and did not have time to salute, and said in a trembling voice: "Jingshitang newspaper (copy to the report of the ministers), saying that the Ministry of War presided over the peace talks between our dynasty and the northern captives has been completed, and the conditions are listed, and the words are conclusive, and the officials of the science and road are here, kneeling down in front of the palace gate, and declaring that they want to kill the traitor Chen Xinjia to thank the world!" ”

"What?!" Both Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia were taken aback.

Wang Chengen stepped forward on his knees and handed the paper to Emperor Chongzhen, he saw it, his face sank, he crumpled the paper into a ball, and fell towards Chen Xinjia.

The boat of friendship is capsized!

Chen Xinjia looked at it, his body trembled violently, and the paper was the Jingshitang Newspaper, which listed the conditions for peace talks with Beiyu, and there were two dynasties about the brotherly state, the year coin, the border, and the field affairs, which were exactly the same as the ones he gave to Emperor Chongzhen.

What's going on with this special M?!

Emperor Chongzhen said angrily: "I have repeatedly asked you to keep it secret, what did you do to disappoint me!" ”

After speaking, he got up and left, ignoring Chen Xinjia no more.

Chen Xinjia was almost unsteady and staggered out of the Qianqing Palace, his face was pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness.

Under Wang Chengen's arrangement, he bypassed the noon gate and found another way, and did not meet the courtiers, but heard shouts one after another in the distance: "We want to see Your Majesty!" "Chen Xinjia misled the country and betrayed the country, kill Chen Xinjia to thank the world!"

He returned home and traced what was going on, and the results were soon available.

Chen Xinjia has a scholar in his family, who is clever and diligent, and he is deeply loved by him, and he helps him with important confidential matters.

Just when Chen Xinjia entered the inner room and was engrossed in writing the recital, this scholar came to the outer room of the study, saw the conditions of the peace talks, and mistakenly thought that this was a Tang newspaper information that was ready to be copied. Without hesitation, he asked the family to hand over to the provincial offices in Beijing for copying.

The news was too vigorous, and it spread like a storm all over the officialdom of the capital!

This time it can cause a big disaster, it was originally a secret peace, and it was suddenly known by the ministers.

After Chen Xinjia found the reason, he was so angry that he blamed the scholar heavily, waited for the family law, and played a hundred boards!

beat the boy to the skin, but he could not be beaten to death in order to push him out as a scapegoat.

What can a scholar do, Chen Xinjia is in a catastrophe.

Moreover, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the ministers impeached Chen Xinjia for being greedy for life and fearing death, compromising for perfection, and privately agreeing on peace terms.

The Ming Dynasty had the ancestral motto "the Son of Heaven guards the country" and "I am not in harmony with relatives, no compensation, no land, no tribute" external principles, Chen Xinjia is bold and reckless, violating the ancestral family law, if you don't kill him, who else will you kill.

The bullets flew like snowflakes, and Emperor Chongzhen was very annoyed, but he still left the music in the middle.

He made a decree, severely reprimanding Chen Xinjia, asking him to explain why he asked for peace in private.

Now Chen Xinjia is furious, didn't I go to negotiate peace at the behest of the boss, what, do you want me to be the backbiter?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to leave a grievance and bow to the barbarians, so he put all the charges on Chen Xinjia's head, but Chen Xinjia was also willing to bear this infamy?

He also didn't want to bear this infamy, so he wrote to the court, pointing out that this was the emperor's intention, and that he was acting on orders, saying that he was not only without fault, but meritorious.

How can you be a minister if you don't know how to do it!

As long as he pleads guilty and takes responsibility, Emperor Chongzhen plans to raise the board high and put it down gently, and Chen Xinjia will receive the punishment and give an explanation to the ministers.

Unexpectedly, he refused to admit his guilt, and Emperor Chongzhen had to issue an edict to dismiss Chen Xinjia from office and put him in prison!

Chen Xinjia wrote to the imperial court, listing his merits, and asking for forgiveness, but the emperor did not allow it!

Chen Xinjia had no choice but to scatter all his family wealth, so he had to bribe the high-level officials to rescue Liao Guoxuan, Yang Zhiqi and other parties in the incident, and the scholars Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan also vigorously rescued, and said: "According to the law of the country, if the enemy soldiers do not fight down the city, they should not kill the military department." ”

Chongzhen said: "If nothing else, isn't it more serious for my seven princes to be killed and humiliated than for the enemy soldiers to hit the city?" ”。

Xu Shiqi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said: "There are no overseas diplomatic relations. There is no one who is not in the imperial court and does not tell the monarch and is good at cheapness. Xinjia's private money humiliates the country, and when the walled city is lost, it should be beheaded. ”

In fact, Xu Shiqi also opened his eyes and said nonsense, everyone knew that Chen Xinjia must act according to orders, but the emperor must not be wrong, so he went up and down, and insisted that Chen Xinjia was asking for peace in private.

Chen Xinjia was beheaded in the city on September 22, and another Ming military secretary was a ghost, and Emperor Chongzhen really deserved to be a "professional military department book crusher".

From then on, no one in the court dared to propose peace, even though everyone felt that peace was the best way. And Chongzhen himself couldn't pull down his face and propose peace again, so God blocked the last way of life of the Ming Dynasty!

A little scholar, because of a smart move, but dominated the fate of the Ming Dynasty, I have to sigh!
