Gao Xinghao, who went south to Bozhou to buy grain, was arrested, and the silver that the second brother was counting on was also lost, which put him in a situation where the money and grain were about to run out, which made the second brother face a big crisis.

It was Gao Yihuan's idea to go to Bozhou to buy grain, he arranged for Gao Xinghao and others to do it, now Gao Yihao has a problem, if Gao Yihuan ignores it, it will inevitably make people feel chilling, what task is he arranging in the future, then his subordinates know that once something happens, he will be abandoned, and he is afraid that he will do his best to do things for him.

This time, whether it is because of money and food, or for Xinghao and others, the second brother of Bozhou City has to fight a dozen to solve the current crisis. However, although Bozhou is only a county seat, the strength of the second brother alone is difficult to eat, so he must find some helpers.

Liu Heizi's Yongcheng is in the east of Bozhou, and the second brother Gao's Luyi is in the west of Bozhou, and the two cities are just sandwiched between Bozhou. Liu Heizi became the second brother of the high school to fight Bozhou, the best ally.

When Gao Yihuan stepped up his military training, waited for Liu Heizi's reply, and prepared to attack Bozhou to solve his current crisis, in Beijing, he also transported this big crisis.

In Beijing City, more than a dozen soldiers walked into the lobby with an internal official holding a yellow scroll, and the officials in the yamen immediately avoided both sides.

The internal official walked straight into the public hall, looked at a senior member in a scarlet robe sitting in front of the desk, and said in the unique voice of the inner servant: "Da Sima, take the will, come with us!" ”

The official sitting motionless, with the last glimmer of hope in his heart, "I want to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Da Sima, now that the city is full of wind and rain, Your Majesty will not see you!" The chamberlain shook his head, "Your Majesty said that Da Sima's private money insulted the country and should be punished according to the law of the country." ”

When the scarlet robe man heard this, his heart was desolate, and his hands trembled and slowly took off the black sand on his head and put it on the table in front of him.

Before July of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, although the Ming Dynasty had just experienced the defeat of Songshan, and was surrounded by thieves in Kaifeng, the country was in internal and external troubles, and the society was already in turmoil, but the Ming Dynasty was established for more than 200 years, and the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the court was not without cards to play.

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty, between resisting foreign enemies and sweeping away internal strife, has returned to the decision to settle the outside world first.

Under the recommendation of Chen Xinjia, Sun Chuanting was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, Ding Qirui supervised the generals of Huguang, Yang Wenyue led the people of Baoding, and the newly appointed governor of Henan, Hou Sui, has formed a certain degree of blockade for the invasion of Kaifeng.

If the time is sufficient, the food and salary are complete, and the officers and troops from all walks of life reorganize their troops and horses and form a cooperation, it is not impossible to extinguish Li Chuang.

However, the current world is not just a game between the official army and Li Chuang, there is also a hungry wolf outside the gate who is peeking at the Central Plains all the time.

Geographically speaking, it is as if the British Empire is a-stirring stick on the European continent, pursuing equilibrarianism on the continent, and whoever fights whom, at this time, the fierce Yi outside the border is undoubtedly also this role, and they will not sit idly by and watch the Ming army sweep away Li Chuang.

This is naturally known to the Ming court, and in order to drag down the outside of the Guan, the scholar Xie Sheng recommended Chen Xinjia to the emperor and prepared to secretly negotiate peace with the Qing army.

After the Battle of Songshan, the elite of the Ming Dynasty was lost, and there was no power to fight back against the Shangqing army.

In this case, the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen both had the intention of peace talks, wanting to stabilize the Qing army and destroy the Liukou first, but the current public opinion environment of the Ming Dynasty did not allow the court to negotiate peace.

A large number of middle-level officials who are proud of scolding the emperor, scolding the first assistant, and scolding the cabinet, in short, who scolds whom, do not know the price of firewood and rice, and insist on fighting the Qing army to the end.

This group of people claim to be the country, but in fact, they don't understand fart, and they specialize in relying on the so-called righteousness to open their mouths at will, complaining about the current situation, thinking that if they are replaced, they will be able to turn the tide and sweep away internal and external troubles.

The Ming Dynasty had a tradition of scolding the emperor and scolding the officials very early, and by this time, the public opinion of the government and the opposition had been kidnapped by this group of people.

Chongzhen and the cabinet wanted to negotiate peace, but they couldn't do it openly, so they could only do it secretly.

When Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, talked with Lu Yifang, the prefect of the prefecture, he instructed him not to leak the news of the peace talks, fearing that the matter would be unfavorable to Chen Xinjia.

In June, Xie Qian, a scholar of the university, saw that the rumors in Beijing were rising, so he immediately recruited the officials in Beijing, implying that it was the emperor's intention to negotiate peace, and asked them not to talk too much.

They think that Xie Qian wants to deceive the Holy Hearing, the Lord and traitors, how can the Ming Dynasty make peace with the barbarians?

At this time, Chongzhen had been kidnapped by public opinion, and repeatedly denied that he had no intention of negotiating peace, and did not dare to come out to speak for Xie Qian.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the crowd was boiling, and he was busy privately telling Chen Xinjia not to leak the matter of the peace, but perhaps because of the bad luck of the Ming Dynasty, a child of Chen Xinjia mistook a secret news of the peace and mistook it for a Tang newspaper and handed it over to the yamen for copying, which made the matter of peace public, causing an uproar among the ministers, and hundreds of officials rose up to attack.

If you can't fight or not, and you still make peace with the enemy, it can naturally be regarded as a betrayal of the country, but if you can't fight it, you have the opportunity to take a breath and fight again, but you still have to hold on, and that is also a problem. Sometimes the main war is not in the interest of the country, and the main peace is not all traitors.

Chen Xinjia saw that the matter was leaked, so he signaled to Emperor Chongzhen and wanted the emperor to help him speak, but Emperor Chongzhen had already said before that he didn't know about the peace talks, so he didn't want to slap himself in the mouth.

Now Chongzhen saw that the situation was expanding, so he didn't pull him along, but issued a stern holy decree, severely criticizing Xinjia, asking him to explain himself and take off his responsibility.

At this time, Chen Xinjia became a wall and everyone pushed him, he couldn't withstand the pressure, so he simply shook the matter out, saying that the peace was approved by the emperor, and he didn't feel that he was guilty of the peace, but felt that he had merit to the court.

In this way, Chongzhen was furious, and he took Chen Xinjia out of prison without hesitation.

At this time, Xie Sheng, a bachelor in favor of peace in the DPRK and China, was dismissed, and Chen Xinjia, who presided over the specific meeting, was imprisoned again.

Bauhinia City, in the palace, on the high dragon chair of Emperor Chongzhen, dozens of people such as Xu Shiqi, Shen Xun and Ma Jiazhi of the Criminal Department knelt in the center of the main hall, and tried their best to criticize Chen Xinjia's mistakes, "Your Majesty, Xinjia's private money humiliates the country, and it should be beheaded immediately according to the law of the lost walled city!" ”

Chongzhen's chest rose and fell, "In the current situation, if you are Xinjia, I'm afraid you are not as good as him." “

······

Since peace talks are no longer possible, the Qing army will inevitably take advantage of the situation to enter the Kou Pass, and the Ming Dynasty can take one less road, at the moment either the strong man breaks his wrist, moves the imperial court back to Nanjing, and loses the burden of the north, or quickly sweeps away the thieves, and then transfers troops back to defend against the Qing army.

In the south of Beijing, several teams of fast horses rushed out and issued urgent orders to Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi, Zuo Liangyu in Huguang, and Yang Wenyue in Baoding.

Beizhi Daimyo's Mansion, Baoding military camps, a team of cavalry galloped into the camp. Governor Yang Wenyue and the daimyo prefect Lu Yifang were discussing the matter, when the curtain was suddenly lifted by a general, and he hurriedly saluted: "Governor Qi, the urgent order from the military department." ”

Yang Wenyue dragged his sleeve with one hand, took the order from the general's hand with the other, and then unfolded it, his face turned pale in an instant.

"Yang Gong, what's going on?" Lu Yifang, who was on the side, saw Yang Wenyue's expression and couldn't help but ask urgently.

Yang Wenyue slowly closed the order, let out a long sigh, the whole person aged a lot, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Alas, people's words are terrifying!" The peace negotiation failed, Chen Shangshu was locked and taken out of prison, and His Majesty asked the military department to give an order to force me to enter the army and quickly lift the siege of Feng. ”

The situation that worried Yang Wenyue and Lu Fangyi the most finally appeared~
