Volume 8 Chapter 61

When a country reaches a critical moment of survival, there are those who unite to resist foreign humiliation, and there are those who disregard the interests of the country and fight behind their backs.

Unite as one, resist foreign humiliation, and basically get through the difficulties.

Regardless of national interests, it is difficult for a country to not perish.

Historically, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not accidental, but inevitable, and the crazy land annexation made it inevitable to perish, and the demolition of the platform behind the nest was the last straw that overwhelmed the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of figures who had the ability to turn the tide of the tide, Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, etc., these loyal ministers and good generals all had the ability to save the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, they all died, not in the hands of foreign enemies, but in the hands of their own people.

This kind of sad and lamentable thing has become a norm in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, as long as you have a little ability, you can save the Ming Dynasty, and the final result will be to die in the hands of your own people!

Why is this happening?

One or two, once or twice, it can be said to be accidental, but all those who have the ability to save Daming are killed by their own people, then it is not accidental, but inevitable, someone wants them to die!

Of course, the people who want them to die the most are Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, but he can't go to the Ming Dynasty to kill people, if no one is cooperating with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, these loyal ministers will not be able to die unjustly.

Of course, they will not blatantly say that I want to cooperate with Nurhachi or Huang Taiji to kill these loyal ministers and good generals, their purpose is not to cooperate with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, they are just to fight for power and profit, to put it bluntly, it is to fight for control of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Xue Guoguan is this idea, he thinks that he must make a move, if Zhang Binxie defeats Jiannu and recovers Liaodong, what a great merit it is, then it is not praised by the government and the opposition, and is regarded as a virtuous minister of the past and the present!

If that's the case, then does this cabinet chief still have his share!

Chongzhen didn't want Zhang Bin to be the first assistant of the cabinet at this time, but he couldn't take this risk, who knows if Chongzhen would be too excited about defeating Jiannu and recovering Liaodong, and gave Zhang Bin the position of first assistant of the cabinet with a stroke of his brain!

Therefore, he can't take this risk, he can't let Zhang Bin defeat Jiannu, and he can't let Zhang Bin recover the entire Liaodong!

So, how to slander Zhang Bin?

This question really gave Xue Guoguan a headache.

This time Huang Taiji's plan to divide the line did not succeed, Zhang Bin was very decisive to kill the envoy sent by Huang Taiji, and tightly sealed the news, unless Huang Taiji himself said it, no one in Liaodong would spread the news that he and Huang Taiji had correspondence.

Huang Taiji wants to slander Zhang Bin for fornicating with him, and he must have a little evidence, he didn't get any evidence at this time, so no one will believe him if he slanders Zhang Bin with white teeth, after all, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not idiots, so he didn't deliberately publicize Zhang Bin's fornication with him.

Without the almighty reason of fornicating with Jiannu, it would be difficult to clean up Zhang Bin, which is also the reason why Xue Guoguan has a headache.

He thought about it, but he only started from Chongzhen's side, Chongzhen was afraid that Zhang Bingong would be the master of Gao, and learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which can be used well.

In the imperial study, Chongzhen's face was haggard with sorrow, and his eyes were scattered, but Xue Guoguan was full of joy and joy.

The emperor finally came to discuss with him, and when he saw Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, who had been waiting there, he understood that this time the emperor was looking for him, and he must be discussing the issue of building slaves.

Sure enough, after the monarch and the ministers saluted, Chongzhen said in annoyance: "What has happened these days, you must have heard of it, Zhang Bin has been advancing all the way in Liaodong, and has recovered more than sixty percent of the land in Liaodong, but Jiannu suddenly entered Kouxuanfu Town, and it is clear that he is going to break the net." Now, Zhang Bin wants to concentrate all his efforts to take Liaoyang and Shenyang, breaking the foundation of Jiannu, Lu Xiangsheng also wants to concentrate all his efforts to eliminate the main force of Jiannu in Xuanfu Town, once and for all, Huang Taiji suddenly sent an envoy to sue for peace, with more than 100,000 people in Xuanfu Town as a threat, and promised to leave his eldest son Haoge in the capital as a hostage, and from then on live in peace with the Ming Dynasty. In the end, whether it is a fight or a peace, you all tell us your opinions. “

Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and pondered, in fact, he didn't have much ability, but he stood in line well, and he was quickly mentioned to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War when he got on the big tree of Yang Sichang, at this time, Chongzhen asked him, basically asked in vain, if he could really turn the tide with his ability, he didn't have to hug Yang Sichang's thigh.

Not to mention Xue Guoguan, the second assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, he doesn't know anything about fighting at all, even Yang Sichang can't look down on him, what can he do, Chongzhen asked him, which is equivalent to asking Yu Blind.

However, it was this guy who didn't know anything about fighting a war at this time and suggested: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggested accepting Huang Taiji's request for peace, the emperor has always loved the people like a son, and he definitely can't bear to watch more than 100,000 people being slaughtered by Jiannu, besides, Zhang Bin and Lu Xiangsheng must also be to eliminate Jiannu and recover Liaodong." ”

Xue Guoguan is also a sycophant, what he said is very in line with Chongzhen's temperament, Chongzhen, who loves the people like a son, is very comfortable in his heart, and the latter sentence Zhang Bin and Lu Xiangsheng must also be to eliminate Jiannu and recover Liaodong, which successfully aroused Chongzhen's suspicions.

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Oh, you said that Shuangquan and Jiandou are not to destroy Jiannu and recover Liaodong, so what are they for?" ”

Xue Guoguan pretended to be loyal and patriotic, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, since you asked, then Weichen had the courage to say it." Your Majesty, you have been deceived by them, the reason why they are so eager is not to build slaves. Think about it, Zhang Bin's so-called concentrated efforts to take Liaoyang and Shenyang, which means that all the horses in Liaodong must be handed over to him to command, he is already the governor of the five provinces, except for the people and horses in Liaodong, almost all the other horses are under his command, and then hand over the military power of Liaodong to him, and all the men and horses of the Ming Dynasty will be controlled by him alone! Lu Xiangsheng's purpose is the same, he is Zhang Bin's henchman, if the emperor listens to him, concentrate his forces to clean up the Jiannu in Xuanfu Town, there must be someone to command the overall situation, he has been in Xuanfu for so long, if you really want to elect a commander, will the emperor choose him? In this way, the result is not the same, everyone in Daming is not controlled by Zhang Bin alone! What do they want to do so desperately to control the military? “

When Chongzhen heard this, his face couldn't help but change, it was precisely because he didn't want to hand over all the soldiers and horses in the world to Zhang Bin's control, so he was hesitant about Zhang Bin's proposal to concentrate all his efforts to recover Liaoyang and Shenyang, so that Huang Taiji seized the opportunity to enter Kou Xuanfu.

If he had made up his mind earlier, Zhang Bin might have even taken Liaoyang, and when Zhang Bin surrounded Shenyang, would Huang Taiji still have the heart to play these moths?

Once Shenyang is taken, almost all the nobles of the Houjin Eight Banners will be destroyed by Zhang Bin, and the foundation of Huang Taiji will be destroyed, will he dare not go back to the rescue!

Sometimes you don't need too much slander, you can have one or two words that hit people's hearts, obviously, these words go to Chongzhen's heart!
