In the battle of Zuo'anmen, Ji Qingwen still remembers it vividly.

I only heard him say thoughtfully: "Lord Wen, it seems that the battle of Zuo'anmen cannot be taken lightly. Regardless of whether Yuan Chonghuan was right or wrong, he took the risk of fighting according to the Beijing Division, although he did not annihilate all the main forces of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and he himself was also a loss of troops, but after all, he dealt a heavy blow to the main force of the Eight Banners. At that time, the command of troops on the front line was the clearest, and I remember that the main force of Manchuria could dispatch more than 50,000 elite cavalry at a time, but after the Battle of the Beijing Division, there were only about 20,000 men and horses left at a time. ”

"Huh?" Wen Tiren didn't expect Ji Qingwen to interject at this time, so he asked, "What does Master Ji mean by this?" Is it intentional to exonerate Yuan Chonghuan? ”

Ji Qingwen's thoughts had already returned to the thrilling battlefield a year ago, frowning as if he didn't hear the threat in Wen Tiren's words, and then continued: "At that time, no matter whether Yuan Chonghuan is there or not, as long as the imperial court is cowering within the walls of the Beijing Division, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to attack the Beijing Division. After all, Manchuria was known for its cavalry shooting, and it had neither artillery nor tunnels. If they had this ability, wouldn't they have broken through Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan a long time ago? Why do you have to make a detour to Mongolia through Xifengkou? ”

Wen Tiren doesn't understand military affairs, and listening to Ji Qingwen talk about it like this, although he thinks it's quite reasonable, but when he thinks about it, he is really full of mud, so he interrupted him and said: "Lord Ji, don't divert the topic." At that time, Yuan Chonghuan had been taken down by the emperor, and his gains and losses since then have nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan. ”

Ji Qingwen said: "Lord Wen, please forgive me, let me say a few more words, okay?" ”

Zhou Yanru, who had been silent for a long time, also helped: "That's it, what is Lord Wen anxious about?" Just now Grandpa Gao said so many words, and I didn't see that Lord Wen couldn't bear it, now that Lord Ji said a few more words, what's the matter? ”

Wen Tiren was speechless, and could only listen to Ji Qingwen continue to speak.

But I heard Ji Qingwen continue: "It's strange here." Seeing that the war was about to come to a stalemate, but at this time, Zuo'anmen was inexplicably opened, giving Manchurian Huang Taiji an excellent opportunity to attack the Beijing Division, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of my Ming Wu Army, Huang Taiji would really attack the Beijing Division from Zuo'anmen, and the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Wen Tiren said: "This official knows about this matter. After the Manchurian Tatars retreated, the emperor also issued an edict to investigate the matter thoroughly. But later I couldn't find any problems, and finally found out that it was a soldier guarding the city, seeing that Zuo'anmen was in disrepair, I was afraid that I would not be able to resist the enemy's attack, so I took it upon myself to repair the city gate, but the result was counterproductive, but the city gate was suddenly opened. ”

"Oh? And this thing? Ji Qingwen asked,

"What about this soldier guarding the door? Where is he now? ”

Wen Tiren arched his hand and said: "This person has committed such a sin, although it is an unintentional mistake, it is also a heinous crime. In the end, the emperor ordered a light sentence and sentenced him to a decisive decision, so that he could die a happy death. ”

"Humph! Another scapegoat. Ji Qingwen said, "I remember that Lord Wen was in the position of a waiter in the Criminal Department at that time, I wonder if this case was also presided over by Lord Wen?" ”

Wen Tiren denied it: "No, this case is a matter of military intelligence, and the Criminal Department cannot interfere, and it is handled by Dongchang and Jinyiwei." ”

"That's weird. Jin Yiwei's handling of cases has always been to pull up the radish and bring out the mud, in order to eliminate the evil; The East Factory, on the other hand, can implicate one, and will never let one go. In the end, only a small soldier was killed, isn't it a little too strange? ”

Saying that, Ji Qingwen turned his head again and asked Gao Qiqian: "Father-in-law Gao, there are no acquaintances in the Lower East Factory, I don't know if you were in the East Factory at that time?" Do you know anything about the case? ”

Gao Qiqian didn't answer directly, and said, "Lord Ji, your words are getting farther and farther. Master Wen has already said that Yuan Chonghuan had already been imprisoned at that time, and this matter had nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan's case, I don't know why Lord Ji was so entangled? ”

Even Yuan Chonghuan himself persuaded Ji Qingwen: "Lord Ji doesn't need to say more. Manchurian Tatar sieges have always been opportunistic. Since Nurhachi's capture of Liaoyang, there have been very few Tatars who have been able to storm the city and win. Every time the city is attacked, either the spies are planted, or the traitors are bribed, or the conspiracy is obstructed, or the morale of the army is shaken, or the city gate is directly opened and surrendered openly. It's strange, but it's actually not strange......"

"Slow ......down," Ji Qingwen seemed to be inspired, and asked, "So, maybe during the battle of Jingshi, Huang Taiji also arranged for his spies to infiltrate the Jingshi, and when it came to the critical moment, he opened the city gate and opened the door?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan answered: "It's not impossible. The population of the capital division is large, and unlike several cities in Liaodong, except for the soldiers, the family members are difficult to identify the source of personnel. Therefore, it is not impossible to mix in one or two spies. ”

"That's clear!" Gao Qiqian said, "It seems that the soldier who was killed at the beginning was a spy sent by the Manchurian Tartars, so it is not unjust to kill this person, it seems that he is a little too cheap." ”

Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "It doesn't seem like it." The duty of guarding the gate is heavy, especially when the enemy is approaching the city, and all the gates should be guarded by important ministers of the imperial court. ”

"Could it be that the minister who guarded the door at that time was bribed by Huang Taiji?" Ji Qingwen said,

"That's easy to do. As long as you go to the military department to check the archives and find out who was guarding Zuo'anmen at that time, won't it be clear? ”

Seeing that Ji Qingwen's "stepping on the watermelon skin" was generally getting farther and farther, Wen Tiren hurriedly brought the topic back: "The official just said that this case has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan. If Lord Ji is interested, he can naturally handle it in a separate case afterwards, and we will continue to try Yuan Chonghuan. ”

He didn't wait for Ji Qingwen to be unified, so he patted the shocked wood and said: "Yuan Chonghuan, regardless of whether your strategy of fighting in the city is appropriate or not, but you trample on the people's estates, farms, and industries on the outskirts of Beijing are indeed certain. After the looting of the Manchurian Tartars, the people suffered extremely heavy losses and suffered great losses, and they have not been able to recover so far, and this account must also be recorded on your head Yuan Chonghuan! ”

Yuan Chonghuan became anxious when he heard this, and said, "Lord Wen, this criminal has something to say. The criminal was born poor, and knew that it was not easy for the people to accumulate some money and food, and it was indeed a pity that they were looted by the Manchurian Tatars. But could it be that the criminal minister led the army to fight hard with the elite of the Eight Banners, and after fighting all and fighting to the death, he could fight so that the Tartars would withdraw on their own and no longer trample on and loot the property of the people? Lord Wen, you are a sin you want to add! ”

Wen Tiren was furious, and slapped the startled wood, which made the hand holding the wood hurt, and reprimanded loudly: "Yuan Chonghuan, you are really getting more and more presumptuous!" This official is trying the case by order, and everything is justified. But you, Yuan Chonghuan, have a guilty body, and you dare to slander the important ministers of the court. Are you impatient? ”

Zhou Yanru was Wen Tiren's opponent, and immediately sneered at each other: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." The trial of the case naturally has to listen to the arguments of the parties, why didn't Lord Wen let Yuan Chonghuan speak? ”

Wen Tiren immediately said-for-tat: "Lord Zhou, don't forget. In the case of Yuan Chonghuan, I am the presiding judge, and you are the trier. Before I finished speaking, you have to rush to speak, which will be too embarrassing for me. ”

"Ho! Lord Wen, you're scaring me. Zhou Yanru did not show weakness, "What a presiding judge, a great presiding judge!" Could it be that if you are the presiding judge, you can cover the sky with one hand? Could it be that this criminal department was opened by your Lord Wen's family? ”

"How can I, Wen Tiren, have such a ability? Naturally, the criminal department was not opened by me. But looking at it, the cabinet seems to be the property of your family, Lord Zhou, and you have always talked to yourself and done things, why have you consulted my surname Wen and Lord Xu Guangqi? Wen Tiren said unceremoniously.

Just when Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren were arguing, they heard Gao Qiqian say: "Don't argue between the two adults. The miscellaneous family sees that Yuan Chonghuan is not honest, and it seems that he has to be punished! ”

After saying that, Gao Qiqian stood up from his seat abruptly and shouted loudly: "Come on, serve the miscellaneous family!" ”
