The sentinels sent by Xiao Liuzi found out that Huang Taiji had indeed gathered 100,000 troops on the east bank of the Lamulun River.

Originally, he wanted to go west to conquer Lin Dan Khan, but the leaders of the various clans under him rejected Huang Taiji's proposal on the grounds that they were both masters and apprentices and provided for hundreds of millions of people.

Although the current southern Mongolia has weakened, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

If they gather to fight to the death, Houjin will not feel good.

Another point is that Tushetu Khan of the Transkhalkha Department told Huang Taiji that the Mongol soldiers and horses who had just come to join him were not of great use, and they were thin and weak, so it was better to wait for some time and wait for them to be strong before going on a campaign.

Huang Taiji felt that what he said made sense, and he gathered these people in a hurry, and he was not well prepared, so he was indeed not suitable for battle.

Huang Taiji looked at the soldiers and horses that had been gathered with great difficulty, and did not want to return in vain, so he used the gathered army of 100,000 to threaten the border passes of the Ming Dynasty, and asked for the Chahal tribesmen, Tumut tribes, and Ordos tribes scattered by Lin Dan Khan, as well as the city rewards of the Outer Mongolian tribes.

By the time Chongzhen knew about this, the soldiers and horses in Huang Taiji's hands had already dispersed.

After all, 100,000 people eat and drink a day is a big number, and Huang Taiji can't afford it.

What he never expected was that as soon as the people he had gathered dispersed, his messenger was beheaded by Chongzhen and sent back.

Although Huang Taiji was angry, he did not lose his mind.

He buried the envoy and went back to Liaodong, and he was going to prepare to give Chongzhen a big gift.

......

After Wang Chengen left, Wang Zezhi was always ready to fight with Chongzhen.

Because, he is not sure whether Chongzhen will fight with him in the end.

In order to guard against Chongzhen, Wang Zezhi ordered the households and military families of Yuxian County and Fangshan Camp to hide in the karst caves in the mountains of Yuxian County.

There are many karst caves in Yuxian County, and these karst caves are slightly transformed into Tibetan soldiers' caves.

When Wang Zezhi was preparing to rebel, he arranged for people to transform these caves.

Now he has hidden the households and military families of Yuxian and Fangshan Camp.

As for the military families and civilian households of Datong Mansion, they were all arranged to the logistics department to transport the grain and silver in the treasury of Datong Mansion to Guihua City.

When Wang Chengen came again, he saw that the area from Datong Mansion to Guihua City had become extremely prosperous.

In addition to the logistics department and the construction corps that escorted grain, grass and silver, both sides of the road were full of all kinds of small merchants and vendors, who took advantage of this bustle to start business.

In the second year of Chongzhen, May 15.

Wang Chengen came to Guihua City again and met Wang Zezhi.

Wang Chengen came on behalf of the emperor, he is an angel, and Wang Zezhi naturally will not treat him harshly.

So, the two went to the wine table again.

"Oh, this time, I don't dare to speak, it's really hard to speak." Wang Chengen showed an expression of owe Wang Zezhi, and secretly observed Wang Zezhi's reaction.

"But it doesn't hurt when the angel says, as long as you don't want to cut off my head, I can accept it." Wang Zezhi said indifferently.

"I'm sorry for you, I once said I would advance and retreat with you, and I found that I couldn't do it at all.

I... I kneel down and beg you. Wang Chengen was about to kneel down with a crying voice.

Wang Zezhi was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up.

Wang Chengen represents the face of the royal family, if he really makes him kneel, if Chongzhen knows about this, I am afraid that he will immediately fight Wang Zezhi's death.

Wang Zezhi helped Wang Chengen up, came to the door, drank away the guards, and closed the door.

"Lord Wang, if you have something to say, something to say, you are breaking my life, looking forward to my early death."

"Then I'll be straight to the point." Wang Chengen was helped up by Wang Zezhi, sat back in the chair, and said seriously.

"Say, just say."

"General Wang, for the safety of the country and the prestige of the emperor, I beg you to write a letter of guilt, I know that General Wang is a person who cares about the safety of the people, and he definitely does not want to shed a river of blood." Wang Chengen said bitterly.

"Hahaha..."Wang Zezhi raised his head and laughed a few times and sighed.

"My lord, do you think the last general is guilty?"

Wang Chengen blinked, opened his mouth slightly, closed it again, thought for a few breaths, and then said.

"Those squires in Datong Mansion should have died a long time ago, but they are intertwined with the ministers in the court, and they can't move, let alone me, even the emperor doesn't dare to touch them, these people, you kill well, kill well.

The foreign tribes were very tired, hungry, poor, and lacking in animal husbandry, and the emperor did his best to reward them, making their lives more difficult.

As for the matter of privately sealing the king of Shunyi, I know that you are trying to appease the Saiwaitu Mut Ministry, but without going through the court and asking the emperor, you have indeed done something wrong.

If you do this one thing wrong, no matter how many things you do right, it won't help.

Of course, I also know that the ministers in the court are not of great use, and I don't know what will happen if the imperial seal of King Shunyi is sent back to the court.

Hey, I have to admit it, this matter, you did it right, your mistake is that you didn't ask the emperor, if you privately give the emperor a secret letter as a brocade guard, why not. ”

Wang Chengen took the wine in his hand, drank it all, and said a lot of things with the strength of the wine.

Wang Zezhi stood up and bowed to Wang Chengen.

"Your Excellency really understands the righteousness."

"Well, hehe, since you say that I understand righteousness, I will ask you in private, do you look down on the emperor in your heart? Do you think that the emperor is a faint monarch, not a good emperor?

I want you to think twice before you say that I want to hear the truth. ”

Wang Chengen stood up, looked at Wang Zezhi very seriously and said.

When Wang Zezhi heard this, he also stood up, he looked at Wang Chengen seriously, and was silent for more than ten breaths before he said.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne, the emperor began to vigorously rectify the situation in the court and cut off the Wei Eunuch party who caused chaos in the government.

The last general has heard that the current emperor is earnestly seeking treatment, and every time he has a feast, he listens to and interprets the classics, and has no tiredness, summoning the courtiers to explore the way to govern the country.

Today, the emperor rehabilitates the unjust prisoners, and the officials who were persecuted and deposed by Wei Eunuch during the Apocalypse period are restored, and the officials are comprehensively evaluated, friends are banned, and courtiers are strongly prevented from forming parties for personal gain.

Today's emperor lives a frugal life, and the last general clearly remembers that when he first saw the emperor, the emperor's dragon robe was still patched.

The last general has great admiration for the emperor, and this is not a lie. ”

Wang Zezhi hugged his fists in the direction of the capital, word by word, and replied seriously.

As a eunuch, Wang Chengen is accustomed to intrigues, two sides and three knives, and he listens to Wang Zezhi's words and feels his sincerity.

"Hey, General Wang, it's really not a secret, today's courtiers all look down on the emperor, and there are only two people in their hearts who can be called Shengming, one is the grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is the grandfather Zhu Di.

They privately say that the current emperor is narrow-minded and difficult to take on a big responsibility.

They looked down on the emperor, so they offered the emperor up, and as courtiers, they had no reverence for the emperor.

Recently, they are all impeaching you, they say that you support the army and respect yourself, and deceive the king, and when the time comes, the government will collapse, and the king will not be the king and the minister, who knows, how can they not be like this. ”

Wang Chengen sighed, let go of the defense in his heart, and said something sincere.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, if someone really looks down on the emperor, it must be Wang Chengen, and now there is one more person, that is, Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi admires Chongzhen from the bottom of his heart, in the final analysis, the current Chongzhen is just an eighteen-year-old young man.

He relied on himself to hold the Ming Dynasty for fourteen years, and he has done his best.

"Please write the book, I will write it." Wang Zezhi sighed after listening to what Wang Chengen said.

"General Wang, you are using your prestige to maintain the majesty of the emperor, the emperor said that as long as you confess your sins, he will forgive your sins, let's just go through the motions."

"Okay, after writing the guilty plea, I'm going to go to the East."

Writing a plea is just like writing a review when you didn't have homework in elementary school, and you won't lose a piece of meat.

If you write a plea, you don't have to shed blood, so why not.

For people in this era, writing a petition is to discredit themselves, and for Wang Zezhi, this is not important at all.

Face can't be eaten as a meal.

"General Wang has fought many battles, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, and the emperor has his own arrangements for the affairs of Liaodong, so he will not worry about the general.

The emperor ordered you to cooperate with Yang He, the governor of the five provinces, to guard the border pass of the Hetao to prevent the thieves from fleeing outside the pass. ”

"The last will obey."

Chongzhen doesn't want Wang Zezhi to make meritorious contributions, and Wang Zezhi doesn't want to fight long distances.

Chongzhen didn't let him fight, which was exactly what Wang Ze wanted.

There's no need to fight, he can just take a good rest.
