Seeing that Chongzhen still did not belong after the decree, Zhou Hou persuaded: "The emperor is the supreme in the world, naturally he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, his duty is only to make a decisive decision, the emperor has issued a decree, and the next thing is for the civil and military generals to serve, why is the emperor still so worried?" ”

Chongzhen said: "The queen doesn't know anything, I really don't know the bottom in my heart." ”

Zhou Hou said: "Before the matter comes to an end, who can be transparent in their hearts?" The emperor and please rest assured, by Wei Eunuch, although the Ming Dynasty encountered some difficulties, but still did not lose the great power, as long as the Ming himself is not chaotic, Houjin is a small country, want to swallow the Ming in one bite, isn't it a daydream? ”

Chongzhen thought about it, and finally let go, but he still couldn't help but pay attention to the battle situation without distraction.

However, in the 20th day, the Houjin army has actually arrived under the city of Beijing!

Chongzhen inexplicably made a fire and sat down decadently, not knowing what to think. Suddenly, I heard a humane: "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." ”

Chongzhen looked up lazily, and saw that it was Wen Tiren, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, let it go, what are you talking about?" ”

Wen Tiren was robbed, he was unwilling, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are worried about the king, and they have studied it carefully, and they were surprised to find that the rampant attack of Houjin was all caused by Yuan Chonghuan's secret collusion with Qian Longxi to seduce the Qing soldiers. ”

Wen Tiren's purpose is very clear, that is, to take the opportunity to eliminate Han Yi, Qian Longxi, He Rupet, Qian Xiangkun and others, and clear the way for his promotion.

The reason why he dared to do this at this time was naturally because he had a glimpse of Zhou Yanru's official skills: he saw Shangguan clearly and did what he liked.

Chongzhen didn't know, but when he heard the rumors, he thought of those rumors again. Because of these rumors, he personally interrogated the two little eunuchs who escaped from Houjin afterwards, and the confessions of these two little eunuchs actually confirmed those rumors!

Yuan Chonghuan was picked up by him, although he used it and guarded against it, he still didn't dare and didn't want to believe it, plus the courtiers insisted on their own words, so he had to suppress this in advance.

Thinking about it at this time, his brain was in a mess again, and it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong, and he said: "This is not a trivial matter, Aiqing must not talk nonsense." ”

Wen Tiren saw that although he was still cold, his tone was a little relaxed, and his heart became more and more confident, and he beat his chest and said: "At this critical juncture, Tiren dares to talk nonsense to disturb the emperor's audio-visual?" ”

Chongzhen let out an "oh" and said, "In that case, you might as well talk about it." ”

Wen Tiren said eloquently: "Mao Wenlong is a famous general who resisted the enemy, and the reason why Yuan Chonghuan killed him was to negotiate peace with the Qing soldiers alone. The siege of Gyeonggi by the Qing troops was the result of Yuan Chonghuan's seduction of the Qing soldiers, and it is said that Yuan Chonghuan had promised to make Huang Taiji emperor.

Otherwise, why did Yuan Chonghuan delay in engaging the Houjin army, and let the Houjin army drive straight in, burning, killing and looting, threatening the safety of the Beijing division? ”

After speaking, seeing Chongzhen pondering, there was a way: "If the emperor still doesn't believe it, you might as well ask the courtiers to see if Tiren is suspected of lying?" ”

The courtiers had a lot of property in the Gyeonggi area, which was looted by the Houjin army, and their hearts were like knives, and they naturally attributed the blame to Yuan Chonghuan, and there was no need for Chongzhen to ask, and they had already sued Chongzhen one after another.

Chongzhen understood it in his heart, but Yuan Chonghuan's performance really puzzled him, so he couldn't help but feel resentful. Therefore, hearing Wen Tiren's accusation of Yuan Chonghuan, he was very happy, and said casually: "According to Aiqing, what should I do?" ”

Wen Tiren feigned anger and said: "Change the commander in the battle and arrest Yuan Chonghuan." After speaking, he emphasized: "If the judgment continues, it will be chaotic." ”

"Yuan Chonghuan should indeed be arrested, but after all, he is the commander of the Qin Wang soldiers appointed by me, is it appropriate to change the commander at this time?" Chongzhen thought secretly, and couldn't help but hesitate.

Just as he was hesitating, the news of the victory in the first battle of Beijing Gate came in. After Chongzhen finished reading it, he handed the newspaper to Wen Tiren and said, "This Yuan Chonghuan is still quite capable of fighting." ”

Wen Tiren secretly liked it, but he didn't expect Chongzhen's attitude to be reversed because of a newspaper, so he hurriedly lowered his head to look. After reading it, I thought hatefully: "Okay, you Yuan Chonghuan, if you are lucky, we might as well let you live a few more days first." ”

Thinking about it, he said: "Guan Ningjun is indeed very capable of fighting, but it's a pity that it only listens to Yuan Chonghuan alone, the more like this, the easier it is to lose its tail." ”

Chongzhen didn't hear his words at all, he was thinking: "Maybe Wen Tiren also believed those rumors, otherwise, how could Yuan Chonghuan hit the Houjin Army hard?" If it's a show for me, wouldn't it be too costly? How should I decide? ”

Thinking about it, because of the victory in the first battle of Beijing, Chongzhen's thinking came alive again: "By the way, I might as well summon him, I want to see him face to face, if the rumors are false, I might as well use him to retreat from the Jin army first." Well, it is necessary to treat him, and I can't indulge him like the imperial brother indulged Wei Zhongxian. ”

After making up his mind, Chongzhen glanced at Wen Tiren and said, "Spread the decree, I want the platform to summon Yuan Chonghuan three times." ”

Wen Tiren hurriedly said: "No, never, at this time, if he has bad intentions, won't Daming be finished?" ”

Chongzhen said disappreciatively: "Even if he has evil intentions, and he doesn't lead troops, what is there to fear?" ”

Wen Tiren pretended to be concerned and said: "Since the emperor has been judged, it is better to be careful, and the minister advises the emperor not to summon him alone, but to summon Zu Dashou, Man Gui, Heiyunlong and other meritorious generals to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Okay, just follow Aiqing and go to pass the decree quickly." ”

Because of guilt, even if he won, Yuan Chonghuan was depressed in his heart, personally urged the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and went to inspect the deployment of various departments, and returned to the camp alone and sat in a daze.

Fortunately, the Houjin army did not attack immediately, and Yuan Chonghuan actually sat there for two whole days.

When Zu Dashou heard the report, he knew his thoughts, and came in and said: "Dashou knows that the superintendent is dedicated to Daming. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can predict it? If that is the case, will he not become a man of God? ”

As he spoke, seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was still pondering, he continued: "No matter what, we have won after all, this is the first battle, doesn't the superintendent often say, the first battle will be won, congratulations." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said faintly: "It's been two days, you say, what is Huang Taiji thinking?" What is our emperor thinking? ”

Zu Dashou said grinningly: "We don't know, we don't want to know, we know, as long as he dares to come, we dare to beat him dead." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said with affection: "When you go to the army to fight, you should know your confidant as a general." ”

Zu Dashou said: "As long as there is a superintendent, do we have so many brains for Zu Dashou?" Let's wait until there is no overseer. After speaking, Deng Shi realized that his words were too unlucky, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Yuan Chonghuan uneasily.

Yuan Chonghuan was about to comfort him for a few words, but when the holy decree arrived, Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to face the saint with Zu Dashou.

Obviously, in order to embarrass Yuan Chonghuan, Wen Tiren gave Yuan Chonghuan half an hour late, and when Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou arrived, Man Gui, Hei Yunlong and others had already arrived.

Chongzhen glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, and sneered: "Inspector Yuan is so busy, he has to be late even for my summons." ”

Yuan Chonghuan didn't know why, so he laughed dryly twice, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to him and began to speak. Undoubtedly, Chongzhen's words had neither goals nor strategies, but only blindly encouraged.

Of course, Yuan Chonghuan and the others don't know, this is what Chongzhen has been thinking and meditating for two days: Isn't it just to test Yuan Chonghuan, why do you talk so much, hmph, it's easy to make him look down on me if you talk too much, I just want to make you and others confused.

Yuan Chonghuan was puzzled, but praise and encouragement are good things after all, the hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and when Chongzhen finished speaking, and asked the generals what they wanted, he mustered up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, our troops have been fighting for days, and the soldiers and horses are exhausted, I don't know if we can cite the precedent of the Manchu general's headquarters to enter the city of Deshengmen, and allow the officers and soldiers of the department to enter the city, rest for a while, and replenish supplies?" ”

"Hmph, how can you compare with the Mangui Division?" Chongzhen thought secretly, and said: "No, the soldiers of King Qin are not allowed to enter Beijing, this is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, as the commander, have you forgotten?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan's heart was half cold, and he didn't dare to speak again.
