Chapter 660: Worrying for Me

What are you kidding, how could he be willing to let these young generals who have been promoted and trained to die?

These imperial attendants and military attachés are all figures who he deliberately selected and focused on cultivating, and they are the preparatory candidates who will take charge of the military and political affairs of all parties for the emperor in the future, how can they be wasted in the camp of the slave chief?

At present, Yan Yingyuan, the head of this group of imperial attendants and military attachés, also arranged for Emperor Chongzhen to serve in the five cities of the Beijing Division before leaving Beijing this time.

Among those who remained, they gradually became leaders such as Deng Tianhe and Yang Zhen.

The two of them expressed their attitude at this time, and the other imperial attendants and military attachés also expressed their willingness to go to the slave chieftain's camp to deliver the letter.

But they were all rejected by Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Wu Weiying, the envoy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court, and Jiang Yueguang, the deputy envoy, stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to go to the slave chieftain camp to give a reply to Jianyu.

However, they were also rejected by Emperor Chongzhen without hesitation.

Comparing the heart to the heart, if Huang Taiji sent not Manzhu Xili, but any of his henchmen or traitors who surrendered, Emperor Chongzhen would not hesitate to put him to death.

Then if the people he sent over with the Great Ming Holy Decree that he deliberately provoked Huang Taiji, unless Huang Taiji's cultivation had reached the level of spitting on his own face, he would definitely not be able to help but do it.

After another moment, Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one stood up again, so he looked at Cao Huachun and other ministers, and said slowly:

"Cao Huachun, there is no one among the ministers of the Son of Heaven who can worry about me?!"

Cao Huachun, who was still watching the development of the situation, suddenly heard this, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly walked to the middle and knelt down, and said:

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few clever people under the slave and maid, but at this time, most of them are serving in the Beijing Division, and there are not many people who follow the old slave to listen to this trip, and in the opinion of the slave and maid, how can such people participate in such national affairs?"

After getting rid of the eunuch party's power inside and outside the palace, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Cao Huachun has always been very cold, although he made him the leader of the eunuch in charge of the eunuch, which is the so-called "internal minister", but the establishment of the military aircraft department made this celebrant immediately empty of power.

Since becoming the coveted eunuch in charge of the seal, Cao Huachun has always been unable to control the thoughts of the current Chongzhen Emperor, as well as the attitude of the current Chongzhen Emperor towards himself.

Therefore, although he became the coveted eunuch of the master of ceremonies, Cao Huachun did not enjoy the scenery of the eunuch of the master of ceremonies for a day, but spent every day in the palace cautiously and on thin ice.

This time, the emperor came to Juyongguan in person, and appointed him, an old man in the period of the hidden palace, to accompany him, and many eunuchs in the palace believed that this was a sign that Cao Huachun was coming to work.

Gao Qiqian, Du Xun and others, who were originally following Cao Huachun to eat in the Xinwang Mansion, also came to give heavy gifts to burn the cold stove, wanting to find an errand under Cao Huachun, accompany the royal front, in order to be seen by the emperor one day, and then rethink of their good service before and after the saddle.

Among them, Du Xun, who has a flexible mind and sharp teeth, quickly entered Cao Huachun's sight, was photographed by Cao Huachun, and followed Cao Huachun to Juyong Pass.

These things in the palace can't be hidden from the emperor now.

Besides, Cao Huachun has no intention of concealing it.

The list of high-ranking attendants among the ministers was drawn up by the celebrant and handed over to Emperor Chongzhen for final approval.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked this question, and Cao Huachun hurriedly explained and said this.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I also know what you said. You should first recommend a few candidates for me, so that I can choose well! ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly said that someone was chosen, and Emperor Chongzhen was not impressed after hearing it, so he asked him to say another one.

As a result, Cao Huachun said one more, but Emperor Chongzhen still had no impression, and then continued to ask him to recommend it.

In full view of the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of Yongshenglou, Cao Huachun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and named the third candidate.

I only heard him say: "Your Majesty, there is still a minister named Du Xun in the line now, who is the old man of Your Majesty's mansion back then!" Maybe it's up to the task! ”

After Cao Huachun said this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said: "Yes!" Du Xun is an impressive person, with a flexible mind and sharp teeth, which is enough to be worthy of a heavy responsibility! ”

Emperor Chongzhen had been waiting for Cao Huachun to say the name Du Xun, even if he didn't mention it in the end, the emperor himself would bring it up.

That night, Cao Huachun took the holy decree written by Emperor Chongzhen himself, and under the supervision of the scholars in the accompanying car, he stamped a large seal specially used to pass the decree on the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor who was in the car.

It was also at this time that Cao Huachun saw the reply written by Emperor Chongzhen to the slave chief Huang Taiji, and he was shocked in his heart, but also sincerely sweated for Du Xun's envoy to the slave chieftain's enemy camp.

But at this point, everything is already decided.

Cao Huachun couldn't say anything more when he looked at Du Xun, but he repeatedly explained that he could act when he arrived in the enemy camp of the slave chieftain, but he must not fall into the spirit of the Ming Dynasty.

However, for Du Xun, who finally waited for the emperor's mission, he was 10,000 unwilling to send such an envoy to the camp.

First, he begged Cao Huachun with a handful of snot and tears to hand over this errand to the enemy camp to deliver the letter to others.

Later, seeing that the matter had come to this point, it could not be changed at all, so he had to accept it with a sad face.

Instead, he hoped that the enemy camp would come back alive from this mission, and then show his face in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and from then on, he would soar.

In the morning of the next day, Emperor Chongzhen asked Niu Juming to select two people from the Horqin cavalry that Manzhu Xili brought into Juyong Pass, and let those two people take Du Xun all the way out of the pass to the north.

In this way, Du Xun and those two people together, three people and three horses, all the way to the arms.

Historically, Du Xun, the eunuch, once betrayed Juyong Pass, and it was at the most critical juncture of the Ming Dynasty in the spring of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Du Xun dedicated Juyong Pass to Li Zicheng, who led a large number of peasant troops here.

In this life, Du Xun is still the same Du Xun, but Emperor Chongzhen is no longer the Emperor Chongzhen.

As for Du Xun who entered the camp, whether he would rather die than be loyal and martyred, or treason and surrender to the prisoner, the current Emperor Chongzhen doesn't care anymore.

Emperor Chongzhen was not worried at all, Du Xun, the eunuch, would tell the news that he was in Juyong Pass and even the deployment situation in Juyong Pass.

On the contrary, being able to send a high-ranking eunuch or a minister like Du Xun to deliver a letter in the camp already illustrates a problem.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this, of course, was considered holistically.

On the one hand, there is certainly a reason for giving Jianyu an answer.

But on the other hand, it was also because Emperor Chongzhen wanted to continue to tempt Jianyu to attack Juyong Pass.

In the face of a considerable number of Jianyu cavalry army, Emperor Chongzhen was not too worried about the first town of the Guards Army, which had not experienced a series of bloody battles since the completion of the formation.

Although there are much more advanced muskets, artillery and other equipment than in the past, the growth of these soldiers requires the tempering of war.

It's just a few rounds of musket salvos on the urn city outside the north pass of Juyong Pass, and it only makes some of them see blood.

These people are still a long way from a truly strong field army.

This road is destined to be piled up with the bones of Jianyu, and the best place to pile up is to pass down Juyong.

As for sending Du Xun to go in the end, it was purely out of disgust for Du Xun, a traitor who sought glory.

At the same time that Emperor Chongzhen was patiently waiting for Huang Taiji to lead the Jianyu army to storm Juyong Pass, Mang Gurtai, the master of the Jianyu Zhenglan Banner, led his army to launch a fierce attack on Zijing Pass.
