Wei Guangwei returned to the cabinet signing room, looked at the noisy room in the past, but now it was empty, and sighed heavily.

It has only been three years since the Apocalypse, and the first assistant of the cabinet is Ye Xianggao, and then Han Yi, and it will soon be his turn.

He also understands that now that Donglin has fallen, Wei Zhongxian has also been beaten, and the eunuch party has lost its role in checking and balancing the situation, but some families are dominant.

What the emperor needs is no longer to sit firmly in the cabinet and be the head of the cabinet as a peacemaker, what he needs is a capable minister who is willing to do things and dares to do things.

Wei Guangwei didn't know if he was capable enough, but he decided to try.

In life, who wants to live that ordinary life?

Wei Guangwei still has a lot of ministry affairs to deal with, and as the only minister in the cabinet at present, he has to personally inquire about many things.

He opened a notebook on the table and read it quietly.

This night, the cabinet was brightly lit, and at the same time, there were also the interrogation rooms of the Forbidden City and the Criminal Department, and Yuan Chonghuan, who had repeatedly disobeyed the holy decree, was going to be interrogated for the last time tonight.

This interrogation will determine his outcome.

The presiding judge, Cui Chengxiu, is a member of the eunuch party, and he has always been the only one who looks forward to Wei Zhongxian, and he is jealous and hateful of the self-proclaimed Donglin party.

Many people understand that the emperor took Cui Chengxiu as the main judge, but he didn't want Yuan Chonghuan to live at all.

Li Yang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has a special identity, but he was able to stand alone in the major scientific investigation case that swept the imperial court not long ago, relying on his indifference in dealing with the world.

Although he felt pity for Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, he didn't show the slightest.

Cui Chengxiu slapped the stunned wood and shouted: "Can the sinners in the hall know the guilt!" ”

"The lower official is not guilty!" Yuan Chonghuan replied.

Cui Chengxiu seemed to know that he would continue to be so stubborn, sneered, and said:

"You were ordered to go out of the customs, and during the war, you repeatedly resisted the order, and almost missed the overall situation of the Liao affair, and now you will be punished for several crimes, and it is difficult to shirk your responsibility!"

"In this criminal department, this official is in charge of the trial, so naturally there is a clear distinction between right and wrong!"

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Cui Chengxiu, like looking at a mouthful of stinky shit? also sneered and replied:

"I came from the field? Recommended by the emperor, since ancient times? Will there be any disappointment to the king's life outside? Besides, if you have a great victory, what reason is there to sin me? ”

Cui Chengxiu was furious when he heard this? Another slap of surprise.

"The Holy Lord is enabled, not to listen to the words of the emperor? In fact, it is a pity to be a talent. Is this the Holy God's love for talents? Distinguish between right and wrong, you can stop getting cheap and selling well, pretending to be stupid in front of the official! ”

Saying that, Cui Chengxiu swept away the testimony of Ning Yuanwu on the table? Said loudly: "Er was ordered to prepare for Ning Yuan? During the period of half a year, I didn't think about the strategy of retreating from the enemy at all, and I clearly deliberately avoided the war! ”

"Yuan Chonghuan, you and the tiger seek skin, and betray the country? It's a well-known thing! At this point, what are you still trying to distinguish here? ”

Cui Chengxiu walked down? sneered at him again and again:

"Don't you want to think about the emperor coming to save him, the emperor returned to Beijing the day before yesterday to face the saint? You went out early yesterday morning, and no one will save you? Die to this heart! ”

Yuan Chonghuan's heart is stagnant? A sense of foreboding looms over you? Subconsciously:

"Seeking skin with tigers, where does this come from?"

Cui Chengxiu didn't answer directly, changed the conversation, walked back and asked: "This official asked you, why did you repeatedly resist the order, saying that the grain and grass are not ready, and you must not fight?" ”

"This official sent someone to Ningyuan City to ask, and the grain and grass were obviously sufficient in those days!"

"You, the secretary of the military department, I'm afraid you don't know anything about military affairs, right?" Yuan Chonghuan sneered:

"At that time, the war of Fuyuwei was unknown, the soldiers and the people were afraid of the captives, and there was a tendency to rout when they talked about the captives.

Cui Chengxiu really didn't know anything about military affairs, but the general situation was still clearer than the previous Zhang Heming, he had expected Yuan Chonghuan to use this as a rhetoric, his eyes tightened, and he shouted:

"The wingers have not arrived, and the imperial court has ordered three orders to attack Jianyu in this battle to protect the three guards of Fuyu, and this criminal minister dares to speak of war but can't, and his mouth is full of pretexts for fear of war!"

Yuan Chonghuan sneered: "The prince is in the court, he has never led the troops, and he doesn't know the situation in Liaodong at all. Could it be that I went to lead Ning Yuan's elite troops to fight to the death, and fought for the reputation of martyrdom, so I was not afraid of war? ”

Cui Chengxiu got up angrily and waved back from the court.

This interrogation still ended with Yuan Chonghuan's strong arguments, and it seemed to be an inconclusive situation, but many sharp-eyed people had already found the difference.

When Wei Zhongxian came back from the palace the day before yesterday, it seemed that something had happened, and he conveyed a meaning downward, that is, to solve Yuan Chonghuan as soon as possible.

When many members of the eunuch party heard what he meant, they all became anxious all of a sudden, it seems that they can't delay it any longer, it's time to convict Yuan Chonghuan and kill him!

The prison of the Criminal Department.

The Western afterglow seeping out of the cracks in the stone shone on the face of Yuan Chonghuan, who had been imprisoned here for a long time, and it was at this moment that two tears dripped from his cheeks.

"Your Majesty listens to traitors and villains, and does not listen to the advice of loyal ministers!"

Yuan Chonghuan was about to get up, but he lost his strength because of the cold treatment he had suffered for days, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Yuan Chonghuan fell into the muddy prison, his hands were full of mud, and he still murmured:

"This time the victory is just a fluke, I can only use all my national strength to build the city and gradually recover the lost territory, Xiong Tingbi's bold advance with such fanfare will only repeat the mistakes of the past!"

"Liaoshen will definitely fall, and the people have been anointed for many years, and they are all enemies!"

A Donglin official who was imprisoned in the prison, seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was so down, was still concerned about Liao affairs, ashamed of himself, and was impressed by his righteousness.

The officer held on to the railing and said loudly:

"Yuan Gongzhen deserves to be the emperor's protégé, and he bows to the officials! I'm waiting for your majesty to talk about the pros and cons now, maybe this matter can still go round and round! ”

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at the door of the cell and said with a wry smile:

"If I don't convict those who support my resistance to the decree in Ningyuan, there will still be opposition in the DPRK and China, how can Wei Gelding rest assured?"

"Thinking about Xiong Tingbi, he has no ability, he is empty of blood, if he counterattacks at this time, Liaoyang will definitely repeat the disaster of Wang Huazhen Guangning in the past!"

Yuan Chonghuan staggered to his feet and looked out of the only window on the inner wall of the cell.

This appearance is really a pity even for passers-by and sights.

Now Yuan Chonghuan no longer has the original gorgeous official uniform, and in the eyes of passers-by, he is just an unkempt and withered person.

......

Qianqing Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

"Smack——!

Zhu Youxiao borrowed the report from the government, threw it directly to the ground, and said to himself:

"I listened to slander, I mistakenly believed Xiong Tingbi, he Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly resisted the decree, and almost missed the overall situation, but it became my fault?"

"It's my fault if I lose, if I win, I'm not allowed to counterattack and regain the land, this Yuan Chonghuan is such a big official!"

The black-clothed man didn't have any expression on his face, still half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for the emperor's next instructions.

Zhu Youxiao took a few breaths, sat back on the dragon chair, and sneered:

"Okay, I will follow the will of these loyal ministers and good generals, and I will make mistakes again and again, and I will be mediocre to the end! Passing the decree, there is no need to try again, tomorrow at noon, take Yuan Chonghuan to the chess and card street - beheading! ”

"Pass the first nine sides, tell those who have ideas to recycle their thoughts, and I will not tolerate another rebellion from now on!"
