This Concubine Zhuang wants to sue Chigutai?!

Fang Yuan was taken aback when he heard Ma Yishan's report, these two people were not related to each other at all. Moreover, Chigutai is the commander of the Northern Military Region, and he is also a brother who was born and died with Fang Yuan.

Concubine Zhuang is full of food, and she wants to provoke Chigutai?!

Fang Yuan ordered Song Shilie, the envoy of the Korean state, to wait in the back hall to be summoned, and then ordered Concubine Zhuang, who had filed a complaint for revenge, to enter and inquire about the matter.

Concubine Zhuang saluted Fang Yuan Yingying, then looked up at her and said, "The regent once said that the Jurchens are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, does this count?!" ”

She didn't talk about business, but said that he was digging a pit for Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was clear in his heart, and said slowly, "Yes, of course." ”

Concubine Zhuang continued to ask, "Did the regent also personally promise me to forgive the heirs of the former emperor and the second concubine?!" ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, Concubine Zhuang, you have something to say, what the hell did Chigutai do, you don't have to beat around the bush." ”

Concubine Zhuang's face suddenly sank, and she said coldly, "Chigutai, forcibly raped the two concubines of the former Emperor Taiji, this sensational case, the regent still doesn't care?!" ”

Fang Yuan was shocked when he heard that Chigutai had actually raped Huang Taiji's concubine. Based on his understanding of Chigutai, although Chigutai was born as a Mongolian horse bandit, he was old and heavy, and he had not violated military law over the years, so Fang Yuan would rest assured that the Northern Military Region, the most powerful of the several military regions, would be handed over to him for management.

This time, Fang Yuan also took a fancy to the stability of Chigutai, so he ordered him to enter the city first to take over the defense of Shengjing City, and then put the female dependents of the Manchu Emperor in the Shengjing Palace under his custody.

If it was said that the short-tempered Zhao Quanzhong would do such a forcible rape, Fang Yuan was not surprised. If it was said that Chigutai had a share, Fang Yuan couldn't believe it.

Could it be that Concubine Zhuang is playing ghosts? If she really resorted to such a little trick to sow discord, it would be a laugh out of her big teeth.

Fang Yuan asked with a gloomy face, "Concubine Zhuang, do you know that the complaint is against the commander of my Northern Ming Military Region." If it turns out that you are scheming and it is a false accusation, do you know the consequences? ”

Concubine Zhuang replied to his gaze fearlessly, and said loudly, "If I am falsely accused, I will drink a glass of wine by myself, I am afraid that the regent will verify the truth and bend the law for personal gain!" ”

Adulterer, in terms of crime, is no bigger than murder. But if it is Huang Taiji's concubine, princess or other woman who forcibly commits adultery, it is slapping the face of the entire Jurchen clan, and the political impact can be said to be very bad.

So Lan Yu forcibly raped the Yuan concubine, and immediately became infamous; The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and there was no adultery with Chongzhen's daughter, Princess Kunxing.

In this adultery case, since Concubine Zhuang guaranteed her life, she sued Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan couldn't help but ask, especially at the critical juncture when the Jurchens had just been annexed and were talking with the Korean state about annexation and internal relocation. If a commander of the Ming Dynasty dares to rape the concubine of the Manchu Emperor, and does not receive the punishment of the Ming Law, what sense of security does the Korean monarch and minister have to move inward? !

Chigutai is just a military commander, if he really dares to rape the imperial concubine, it proves that this person has been carried away by victory and power like Lan Yu, and his heart of disobedience is gradually revealed. If it is not strictly stopped, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the blue jade of the past.

Concubine Zhuang suddenly came to complain, probably hiding her careful thoughts of sowing discord. Provoke the general Fang Yuan to investigate the fault of Chigutai, once Chigutai has a heart of disobedience and is afraid of crime and rebellion, the war situation in Liaodong will be variable again.

Concubine Zhuang's little trick, Fang Yuan already knew it. Fang Yuan could choose to endure it first, and then settle accounts with Chigutai afterwards.

However, Fang Yuan thought about it and decided to immediately investigate Chigutai's responsibility at this sensitive juncture.

This is also Fang Yuan's temptation of Chigutai, whether Chigutai has any antipathy!

If Chigutai did not have the intention of rebellion, he should be tried in the honest city of Guangning, and he should believe that Fang Yuan would never really settle his guilt for adultery. What Fang Yuan needed was just an excuse to appease the Jurchens.

The so-called king wants his ministers to die, and ministers can't help but die. If Chigutai has a rebellion because of this little thing, it can only prove that he, like Ma Lin, is really ambitious and wants to rebel. There is no excuse for adultery today, and tomorrow it will be rebelled by his fuse. Can Fang Yuanyan hand over the military affairs of strategically important places like Mongolia and Liaodong to him?

Fang Yuan immediately settled Concubine Zhuang in Guangning City, and summoned Zhang Ying, ordering him to go to Shengjing with 5,000 special combat troops to summon Chigutai to come to Guangning City to report on military affairs, and Zhang Ying took over the relocation of Huang Taiji's concubines and female dependents.

He sent 5,000 special operations troops to Shengjing, just because he was worried that Chigutai would suddenly rebel in fear of crime. As long as Chigutai is rebellious, Zhang Ying's special operations army will arrest him immediately.

Half a month later, Chigutai was alone and came to Guangning City with Zhang Ying to return to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan had been worried for the past half a month, but Chigutai came to Guangning City honestly, so that his hanging heart finally fell safely.

Even though Chigutai has made many mistakes, he has still withstood the test at the critical time, and he is still a good comrade who has not defected!

Fang Yuan ordered the two concubines involved in the case to come to the council hall together, and the people who watched the trial were Emperor Chongzhen, Concubine Zhuang, Duoduo, and even invited Song Shilie, the envoy of the Korean State, to also watch the trial.

He just wanted to try this case in public and show the Jurchens and Koreans that the laws of the Ming Dynasty were by no means ornaments.

Fang Yuan looked at Chigutai, who had taken off his battle robe under the hall, and asked in a deep voice, "Chigutai, do you know why you were allowed to come to Guangning City to be tried?!" ”

Chigutai didn't shirk the blame, and readily confessed, "Regent, I raped two Mongolian Korqin tribes, the concubines of the Borzigit clan. ”

Fang Yuan saw that he confessed his guilt simply, and it didn't matter, as a matter of course, he smiled angrily and said, "Chigutai, have you received my military order not to disturb Huang Taiji's concubine?" ”

Chigutai said unhurriedly, "Regent, I have indeed violated your military orders, and I am also willing to accept military punishment!" You, give the order! ”

Fang Yuan didn't really want to punish him, but wanted a step for him to confess his sins and repent. I don't know that this Chigutai confession is a refreshing confession, and there is no remorse.

His attitude made Fang Yuan unable to get off the stage, Jing Jie accurately grasped Fang Yuan's thoughts, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily, "Chigutai, so far, you don't regret it?!" ”

Jing Jie handed the words to his lips, but Chigutai still didn't answer, shrugged his shoulders, and said loudly, "Generalissimo, I have violated military law, and it is a big deal to punish according to law." But I didn't do anything wrong, so I have no regrets! ”

"Smack!"

Fang Yuan got up angrily, pointed at him and scolded, "Chigutai, if you are dissatisfied or complaining, you can argue in public, and Your Majesty and I will definitely deal with it impartially." What is your current attitude? Are you arrogant, or don't you take Your Majesty and me seriously?! ”

Chigutai was scolded by him, his old face was swollen red, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and finally spoke, "Okay, okay, I didn't want to talk about this blood feud now, since the regent has to ask, I said it, I said it." ”
