Although Yuan Chonghuan calmed the scene for a while, his treatment of Gonchuk Taiji did not win the approval of the Mongol generals of Chahanhot, especially the generals of the original Chahar Department subordinate to Princess Taisong, who were extremely indignant at the killing of the princess's husband, believing that this was Emperor Ming's treachery and wanted to eradicate the Chahar Ministry, who supported the old traditions.

As the nominal leader of the Mongolian tribes, after the death of Lin Dan Khan, although the Chahar tribe had to surrender to the Ming Emperor because of internal forces and the fact that Lin Dan Khan's widow chose to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, not all Chahar Nayan accepted this reality.

In particular, after the Ming Emperor divided the Mongolian steppe, he required the tribes to graze in a fixed area and not cross the border, thus breaking the chaotic situation of the jungle tribes on the grassland. For those small and medium-sized tribes, the fixed pastoral and semi-sedentary life has undoubtedly greatly improved their living conditions.

But for the Mongol aristocracy, the fixed pastoral areas not only limited their power expansion, but also caused them to lose control over the small and medium-sized tribes of Mongolia. Especially the nobles of the Chahar tribe, who were originally the leaders of the Mongol tribes, these Mongol Nayans, who were originally above the tribes, are now just ordinary Mongol Nayans.

Their status was not even as good as that of the Mongolian right-wing tribes, which had good relations with the Ming people, after all, the right-wing tribes had maintained good relations with the Ming people for decades, and they could easily integrate into the Ming system.

However, Guiyingcha and Lin Dan Khan's widows hated these Nayan people for not being in a hurry to look for Lin Dan Khan when he disappeared, but instead tried to seize the power and property left by Lin Dan Khan, so they were not willing to defend them in front of the emperor, so that they finally united around Gunchuktaiji.

Although the meeting with the Manchu envoy was Gonchuk Taiji, it was these Chahar Nayan who had suffered their interests behind the Taiji. Yuan Chonghuan disposed of Gunchuktaiji with thunderous means, although he shocked these Chahar Nayan at that time, but when they dispersed, he couldn't help but panic, after all, Yuan Chonghuan's charges against Gunchuktaijian were too far-fetched, if Yuan Chonghuan could use these excuses to deal with Gunchuktaiji, he would naturally be able to use the same excuse to deal with them.

When Nan Chu instigated Princess Taisong's subordinates, he brought people to find these Nayan overnight and demanded that they immediately take a stand, whether to side with the Ming people, or join forces with them to avenge Gunchuktaiji.

The faces of the Chahar Department this time are actually typical people with low eyes. Because their privileges were suppressed, they asked Gonchuktaiji to contact the Manchu Qing privately, but they were worried that there would be no future for the Manchus, so they had been watching the wind between the Ming and the Manchus.

It was their hesitant nature that made Gonchuk Taiji disposed of by Yuan Chonghuan on the spot, and they didn't dare to react. But now in front of the steel knives shown by Princess Taisong's generals, they quickly succumbed again, and expressed their willingness to cooperate with Nan Chu to besiege the courtyard where Yuan Chonghuan lived, and after the matter was completed, they moved to Liaodong with the people of Chahanhot.

There are about 1,500 civilian households in the city of Chahanhot, and there are about 3,000 garrisons. And within ten miles of Chahanhot, there is also a military camp and several tribal settlements, which can call up more than 7,000 soldiers and horses to protect the city in an emergency.

Although the city was under the administration of the Chahar Ministry, nearly a third of the garrison in the city was not owned by the Chahar Ministry, and it was a garrison composed of personnel drawn from various ministries by the Mongol local council to assist Gonchuktaiji in defending Chahanhot, and if necessary, it could also inform the rear tribes of the invasion as soon as possible.

The reason why Yuan Chonghuan dared to boldly sneak into Chahanhot and kill Gunchuktaiji in front of everyone was also because he thought that this army could protect himself. When he stayed in the city at night, he also transferred the personnel of this army to defend his residence.

Although the night was dark, the exciting fight during the day made Yuan Chonghuan still excited and difficult to calm down, and naturally it was difficult to fall asleep. In particular, the Mongolian leather bedding is very vulgar, which makes Yuan Chonghuan, who is used to sleeping in soft silk brocade quilts, extremely uncomfortable, which naturally contributes to his insomnia symptoms.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan originally planned to trick Gonchuktaiji out of the city, and then arrest him and interrogate him slowly. It's just that he didn't expect that Gonchuktaiji was reluctant to go out of the city, and there were more and more Mongols gathered around, and he was afraid that the other party's dog would jump off the wall and directly order them to be detained, so he had to show up directly.

And when he appeared, he realized a problem, to capture him in the city controlled by Gunchuktaiji, if he raised his voice and shouted directly, I am afraid that none of them would be able to get out of the city.

As the frontier governor of the Ming Dynasty, if he is captured alive by the other party, he will lose face. Moreover, he ventured into the city this time, in fact, he made his own decisions and wanted to monopolize the credit for calming the internal troubles in Chahanhot.

After all, according to the instructions of the emperor and the general staff, he was supposed to wait another day or two, and after meeting with Ezhe and others, he entered the city in the form of the imperial court's condolences to the border soldiers. With the presence of Ezhe, the orthodox heir of the Chahar tribe, it should not be difficult to force Gonchuktaiji to surrender his military power.

Gunchuktaiji, who had lost his military power, asked the court to return to the capital to take up his post, and the other party naturally did not make any resistance. As long as he arrives in the capital, whether he is round or flat is the final word of the court.

But in this plan, Yuan Chonghuan has completely become a supporting role, and it is the young Ezhe who is in the limelight, how can this make him willing.

When Yuan Chonghuan recovered, he still wanted to go to Liaodong, after all, the most powerful opponent of the Ming Dynasty was the Manchu Qing, and it was easiest to make contributions on this battlefield. As a jinshi who ranked low in the imperial examination, if he took the ordinary road, Yuan Chonghuan would be able to be promoted to a squire at the highest level in his life, which is already a great achievement.

But with the courage to be the first, dare to speak out, and dare to break the rules of officialdom, Yuan Chonghuan has completed his career of more than ten or twenty years in just a few years.

The only thing that made him regret was that the Emperor of the Apocalypse also tried to use him, but now the Chongzhen Emperor has always been very wary of him, not only did not let him go to Liaoxi to prepare for military affairs, but even the capital did not let him stay, but transferred him to the Monan grassland.

Originally, he thought that although this place was far away from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the imperial court wanted to annex the Monan grassland, and there was always an opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions. But who would have thought that Lin Dan Khan was so uncompetitive that he disappeared after a trip to Mobei, and the Ming Dynasty annexed the Chahar Department without much effort, thus controlling most of the Monan grassland.

Jinzhou-Yizhou-Longcheng-Chahanhot-Xilinhot, until Ulaanbaatar in Mobei, the formation of this northern defense line can be regarded as completely making the Fengda area where he is located a relatively safe rear.

For other Ming officials, this may be good news, but for Yuan Chonghuan, it is outright bad news. In this way, wouldn't he have to retire in Fengzhen?

Although the grassland scenery near Fengzhen is extremely beautiful, this is not the life Yuan Chonghuan wants. Therefore, when the matter of Gunchuktaiji and Amin having a private relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty came out, Yuan Chonghuan naturally felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw, and if this matter could be handled well, he might not be able to stay in Fengzhen to count the stars.

But the more nervous he is, the easier it is to make mistakes, not to mention that he forged the emperor's dictation in a hurry, and now he doesn't know how to report this matter to the court. As soon as he thought of His Majesty the young emperor, Yuan Chonghuan felt that his scalp was a little numb.

Compared to this emperor, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is more like a child who loses his temper. Although everyone was worried that the nine thousand years old around the emperor would find trouble for him, they were not afraid to abandon the old tradition of being an official.

After all, the people in the eunuch party are also part of the officialdom, and in addition to political struggles, they also follow the official tradition of the Ming officialdom. No matter how much the Emperor of the Apocalypse used the eunuchs around him to supervise the place, he could not make any changes in the entire Ming officialdom.

After the young Chongzhen ascended the throne, everyone originally thought that this was a little emperor who was ignorant of the world, after all, this was not as good as his brother Emperor Tianqi, and he had not even studied a serious royal education.

But what is shocking is that it was in the hands of this young emperor that the Ming Dynasty started more than ten years of reform movement. Today, the old traditions of the so-called officialdom have crumbled, and those officials from the youth academy, especially those who have graduated from universities, disdain the so-called officialdom traditions, and they are replacing the traditions of the Ming officialdom in a completely innovative way.

At this moment, even ordinary scholars can see that the continuation of the emperor's reform will lead to the complete decline of the imperial examination system, and the state-controlled school education will replace the current private school academy education, thus completely alienating the imperial examination system.

Although everyone is aware of this, the number of people who oppose education reform in this matter has always been small. Because the school education promoted by the emperor was, to a certain extent, expanding the employment of low-level scholars.

In the imperial examination every three years, more than 300 jinshi were admitted in one session, which was the number that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty could not digest in the past. Not to mention those scholars who want to elect officials, who have no connections and money, even if they wait until they are seventy or eighty, they may not be able to wait for a position.

This is still the case, not to mention Xiucai and Tongsheng. If a scholar is not a scholar, no matter how high his social status is, this day can only be regarded as a future.

The implementation of school education, in a way, is equivalent to giving these low-level scholars a way out. After a simple training, they are able to teach their students in accordance with the textbooks developed by the state.

Teachers belong to public positions, which means that there is a certain chance that these teachers can enter the official career, which is much stronger than the single-plank bridge of thousands of troops crossing the imperial examination. Therefore, even if everyone knows that school education is actually digging into the roots of the imperial examination system, the scholars at the bottom still support the imperial court, because it gives them a way out.

Without the support of a large number of low-level scholars, the protests of the Jinshiju people would have been somewhat weak. Not to mention, with the defection of the Huxiang School and the transformation of Yuelu Academy into Hunan University, the scholars who supported school education have faintly overwhelmed the conservative literati who defended the imperial examination system.

The sacred and unshakable imperial examination system in the eyes of scholars has been shaken by the emperor to such an extent, what does he, the governor of the district, resist in front of the emperor? Yuan Chonghuan knew that if he couldn't give an explanation to the emperor, he was afraid that the emperor would have to give him an explanation.
