Chongzhen has been in a very bad mood these days, not because of Jiannu's sneak attack on the capital, but because of the affairs in the court.

Originally, Zhang Bin's battle against Jiannu outside the Yongding Gate made him see the hope of exterminating Jiannu, and Jiannu was not invincible, as long as the method was appropriate, it was only a matter of time before Jiannu was exterminated.

He was thinking about whether to let the old minister Sun Chengzong return to Liaodong Jingluo and slowly encroach on Jiannu, but in the past few days, he suddenly received a bunch of twists and turns, which made his mood suddenly fall to the bottom.

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, took the lead in impeaching Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, for colluding with Yuan Chonghuan to build slaves and plotting against him!

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Hongxun, Shi Zhen, Gao Jie and other officials of the Imperial Procuratorate supervised the imperial history, impeaching Yuan Chonghuan, impeaching Qian Longxi, and impeaching Han Yi, saying that they colluded with each other to lead Jiannu into the customs in a vain attempt to subvert the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, he remembered that, as said in the fold, Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as the supervisor of Jiliao, and he was recommended by Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet!

Although, this recommendation was asked by himself, but, I asked you to recommend a cabinet deputy to serve as the governor of Jiliao, you recommend a few more people to me for reference, just recommend Yuan Chonghuan, so that I don't have a choice, isn't this collusion between you?

There is also Han Yi, who turned out to be Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!

Chongzhen felt that his face was slapped, and he handed over the entire cabinet to the Donglin Party, the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Yi, the second assistant of the cabinet, Qian Longxi, the cabinet scholar, Sun Chengzong, and the cabinet scholar, Cheng Ji, were all members of the Donglin Party.

Now, there are already two problems with them, will the other two be fine?

Fortunately, the troops of King Qin began to arrive in the capital one after another, especially Zhang Bin, the governor of Fujian, who defeated Jiannu outside the Yongding Gate and stabilized the situation in the capital.

At this time, he had already considered purging the Donglin Party and reorganizing the cabinet, and when Jiannu was defeated, he immediately began to purge the Donglin Party.

Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, colluded with Yuan Chonghuan to build a slave and let him die!

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, colluded with Yuan Chonghuan and fornicated with Jiannu, there is no evidence for this, if there is, let him die, no, then let him take the blame and resign, he taught Yuan Chonghuan who fornicated with Jiannu, and must be jointly and severally responsible.

Sun Chengzong, a member of the Cabinet University, and Chengji, a member of the Cabinet University, are all cleared out of the cabinet, and I want to reorganize a cabinet without the Donglin Party!

That night, he was flipping through the records of the Ministry of Officials' Examination and selecting candidates for cabinet scholars, when Cao Huachun suddenly preached: "Your Majesty, Huang Chenghao, the right man of the Imperial Palace, is asking to see you outside the imperial city. ”

Chongzhen looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "When is this, is there anything that you can't say tomorrow, let him go back, and talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Usually at this time, Cao Huachun will not say a word and send people away, but today, Cao Huachun doesn't know if he took the wrong medicine or what's wrong, so he actually replied outside: "Weichen has already asked people to tell him, but he just won't leave when he kneels outside, he said that there is something big to tell the emperor." ”

Come to see at night, it's not normal, at this time, the gates of the imperial city and the palace are closed, it's very troublesome to open the door, come to see at this time, it must be a big deal, at this time, people kneel there and don't go, and say that it's a big thing, Chongzhen has to pay attention to it.

This Huang Chenghao is the hero who exposed Yuan Chonghuan, an internal thief, Chongzhen still admires him very much, he thought about it, and said outside: "Go, let someone bring him over." ”

Cao Huachun obeyed the order, but Chongzhen put down the book in his hand and fell into deep thought, what is the big thing?

He is still too young, not experienced enough, not thoughtful enough, and many problems have not been considered, so late, a courtier went outside the imperial city to ask for a meeting, and he could still let Cao Huachun come to pass the word, is it normal?

How did he know if the emperor was resting at this time, and he ran over recklessly, was he sick?

Regardless of whether it was normal or not, after a while, Huang Chenghao was still led in.

Huang Chenghao actually didn't want to come to see the emperor at this time, but Zhang Bin sent someone to inform him that Wang Yongguang was ready, let him go and see the emperor immediately, he had no choice, the ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy was in the hands of others, and if he didn't obey, he would die!

He really didn't expect that the emperor would receive him at this time, but the secret letter or something, he had already prepared it, how to act in front of Chongzhen, he had also thought about it thousands of times, and he was confident that he would definitely be able to deceive Chongzhen.

He took a deep breath, got ready, and as soon as he entered the door of the imperial study, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a capital crime, and Weichen is a capital crime!" ”

Good guy, there was a bang, and Chongzhen was startled by him.

What is this for, Chongzhen said in surprise: "Huang Aiqing, what's wrong with you, what kind of capital crime is not a capital crime, calm down, get up and speak." ”

Huang Chenghao not only didn't get up, but also took out an envelope, held it above his head, crawled to Chongzhen's desk on his knees, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a capital crime!" ”

Chongzhen suspiciously glanced at Cao Huachun at the door, Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the envelope and checked it carefully, and then respectfully handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside and looked at it carefully, after reading it, he immediately turned his face like water, stared at Huang Chenghao and said coldly: "What's going on?" ”

In fact, at this time, Chongzhen's heart had already set off a monstrous wave, and this letter was actually written by Huang Taiji to Wang Yongguang!

Huang Chenghao first took the secret letter written by Huang Taiji to Yuan Chonghuan to impeach Yuan Chonghuan, and then took the secret letter written by Huang Taiji to Wang Yongguang and ran here to cry and cry, what the hell is going on, could it be that Wang Yongguang also fornicated with Jiannu!

Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, are all suspected of fornicating with Jiannu, whether this Ming court is my or Huang Taiji's!

Seeing this, Huang Chenghao seemed to be frightened by Chongzhen's appearance, and kowtowed vigorously, and cried while kowtowing: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty of a capital crime, Wang Yongguang asked Jiannu to arrest Weichen's family, and threatened Weichen to frame Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, for fornicating with Jiannu, Wechen was forced to have no choice, and did a damn foolish thing, Weichen is a capital crime!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he finally couldn't hide the shock in his heart, stood up and said in shock: "What did you say?" Wang Yongguang asked you to frame Yuan Chonghuan! ”

Huang Chenghao only felt that his eyes were spicy and painful, and he cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Wechen is confused, Wechen is a capital crime, Wang Yongguang let Jiannu arrest Wechen's wife and children, if Wechen does not frame Yuan Chonghuan according to his intentions, he will want Jiannu to humiliate Wechen's wife and children to death, Wechen is forced to do nothing!" ”

Chongzhen only felt a buzzing in his head at this moment.

Terrible, terrible!

It's messy, it's messy!

He was ready to execute Yuan Chonghuan and Qian Longxi, and now someone came over to tell him that Yuan Chonghuan was framed, and this person was the one who impeached Yuan Chonghuan!

It's terrible, a Jiliao Governor with a heavy army, and a cabinet deputy assistant with a lot of power, if he was really wronged, if he really killed Yuan Chonghuan and Qian Longxi, wouldn't he be cutting off his hands and feet!

He stood there stunned for a long time, then suppressed the shock in his heart, sat down slowly, and asked coldly: "You said that Wang Yongguang forced you to frame Yuan Chonghuan, is there any evidence?" ”

Huang Chenghao kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the letter in your hand is evidence, it is a secret letter written by Huang Taiji to Wang Yongguang, he asked Weichen to take this secret letter, imitate Huang Taiji's handwriting, and find someone to imitate a secret letter to frame Yuan Chonghuan!" ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he immediately said to Cao Huachun: "Take Yuan Chonghuan's secret letter." ”

When Cao Huachun heard this, he immediately ran to a bookshelf and quickly turned out an envelope and handed it to Chongzhen respectfully.

Chongzhen took the two letters and compared them, and the handwriting was exactly the same!

At this moment, he was speechless in shock, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked coldly: "Since Wang Yongguang asked Jiannu to arrest your wife and children, why did you suddenly turn back?" ”

Chongzhen thought about it for a while and found that there are many doubts about these things, whether it is Huang Chenghao's impeachment of Yuan Chonghuan, or Wang Yongguang's impeachment of Qian Longxi, including Huang Chenghao's current anti-water, everything has a lot of doubts.

Now, Huang Chenghao is in front of him, and he naturally wants to find out first, whether this Huang Chenghao is lying, or whether he is lying now.

Huang Chenghao hurriedly explained: "In the past few days, the stability gate in the north of the capital has been released for a limited time, and the Liaodong soldiers under Yuan Chonghuan have risked their lives to break into the capital, wanting to kill Weichen to avenge Yuan Chonghuan, Weichen framed Zhongliang, and he deserves death, so Weichen did not resist, only begged them to save Weichen's wife and children, as a result, they did not kill Weichen, but risked death to rescue Weichen's wife and children, watching them die and kill Weichen's wife and children, there were only a few people left, Wechen was moved inexplicably, so he agreed to their request and came to return Yuan's innocence. ”

In the past two days, the Qinwang army of Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan has arrived one after another, and there is no big problem with the security of the capital, so Chongzhen issued an order to let people closely monitor the movements of the Nanyuan Jiannu army, and at the same time open the Andingmen in the north for a limited time to take care of the livelihood of the people in the capital.

There are millions of people in the capital, they all have to eat, this has been banned for more than a month, the people in the capital have long run out of food, even the food is a little insufficient, and the imperial court has no ability to help these millions of people, so they can only let go of the Andingmen in the north for a limited time, and let them find their own way.

Unexpectedly, there were still people under Yuan Chonghuan lurking outside the city, and they also mixed into the city, Chongzhen couldn't help but wonder: "What about those people?" ”

Huang Chenghao shook his head again and again and said: "They sent Weichen's wife and children back and disappeared, they are elusive, and Weichen doesn't know where they are." ”

This suspicion seems to be no problem, this kind of thing, Huang Chenghao will never dare to deceive himself, if his wife and children were originally in the capital, or they have not returned to the capital now, just check it casually, he dares to take this bully, it is looking for death.

Chongzhen still has a doubt, why did Wang Yongguang frame Yuan Chonghuan?

Yuan Chonghuan is the Jiliao Governor, with heavy troops, if he fails to frame, he will not be able to carry a secretary at all, and he will die ugly!

Chongzhen simply asked: "Why did Wang Yongguang frame Yuan Chonghuan, do you know?" ”

Huang Chenghao secretly wiped it for a long time, and now his eyes are not so painful, he simply wiped his face with his sleeve, and said: "Your Majesty, this Weichen knows, because the emperor asked Lord Han Yi Han to be responsible for the eunuch rebellion case, and the deeper he dug, he was afraid that he would dig into him in the end, so he took the first step and framed Yuan Chonghuan, who was related to Donglin, to create a monstrous case of fornication and slavery, and wiped out Donglin, so as to prevent the emperor from continuing to investigate the eunuch rebellion case!" ”

Chongzhen heard this, thought about it carefully, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, it turned out that Wang Yongguang turned out to be a eunuch, and they framed Yuan Chonghuan, Qian Longxi, and Han Yi in order to prevent themselves from continuing to investigate the eunuch party!

Huang Chenghao saw that Chongzhen's face was getting more and more ugly, and immediately added fuel and vinegar: "Also, it is rumored that Nurhachi, the master of Jiannu, really died of cannon wounds in the battle of Ningyuan, and Huang Taiji also suffered a big loss in the hands of Lord Yuan, and there are no less than tens of thousands of Jiannu who died in the hands of Lord Yuan, and with Lord Yuan here, Jiannu has no way to take the defense line of Guan Ningjin, so Lord Yuan, who Wang Yongguang wants to harm, was cut by a thousand knives, avenged Nurhachi, and invited merit to Huang Taiji!" ”

This, why didn't I think about it before, Yuan Chonghuan, he indirectly killed Nurhachi, and the emperor Taiji was defeated, and he also killed tens of thousands of Jiannu, and he also went to fornicate with Jiannu, isn't this sick!

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of troops he had, Jiannu would probably have captured him immediately!

A thousand cuts! Fornicating with slaves and executing them at Ling Chi, isn't that a thousand cuts!

In order to ask Jiannu for credit, Wang Yongguang actually wanted to use himself to defeat Jiannu's great hero with a thousand knives!

Ah, this traitor, how dare you play such a trick on me!

Chongzhen was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "This damn traitor! ”

Huang Chenghao was so frightened that he "trembled" and didn't dare to speak.

Chongzhen was there angrily thinking about how to clean up Wang Yongguang, and at this time, there was a sudden report from a eunuch outside: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard commanded Luo Yangxing to ask to see." ”

Luo Yangxing, what are you doing here, is there something big going on!

Chongzhen shouted in a rough voice: "Xuan." ”

After a while, Luo Yangxing bowed in, knelt on the ground with a piece of stationery and said loudly: "Someone shot a letter into the Weichen Mansion, please make a decision." ”

Someone shot a letter at you, what do you want me to decide?

Chongzhen was furious at this time, he glared at Luo Yangxing angrily, and then glanced at Cao Huachun and asked him to take the letter.

Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter paper in Luo Yangxing's hand and respectfully handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened the letter paper and looked at it, and there was a sentence in it: Wang Yongguang fornicated with Jiannu, and the courtyard with the vermilion lacquer gate in the middle of the Yangfang Hutong in the city is the location of his secret connection with Jiannu!

Chongzhen looked at it, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Tairu, immediately send someone to surround the Yangfang Hutong of the Birthplace and search it for me!" ”
