The news that Wu Sangui withdrew his troops from Ningyuan and attempted to wave troops to the Qing monarch side in Beijing soon spread to the palace, and the people in the court were panicked. www.biquge.info If you say that there is a Wu Sangui, maybe Chongzhen doesn't have to worry about it, but after Wu Sangui withdraws his troops, the millions of Qing troops behind him can flock to it, like entering a no-man's land, which is fatal!

"What an excuse for the Qing Jun! Wu Sangui, is this going to emulate Cheng Zu?! After getting the news, Chongzhen was indignant.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the court, some people stood in the main station, and some people were in peace.

The helpers suggested that Zu Dashou should fight Wu Sangui! Apparently how stupid this proposal is! Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's uncle, he has just been demoted by Chongzhen, this resentment has not been sprinkled yet, let him beat his nephew, isn't this forcing others to rebel? Soon, this option was rejected.

However, the Lord and the Peacemaker wanted to slow down Wu Sangui through money, beauties, and officials. And how ridiculous the idea. As everyone knows, Dolgon promised him much more than Ming Ting, obviously Wu Sangui will not eat this set!

War is not, peace is not, the Ming court monarchs and ministers are in a predicament. At this moment, Zhu Qing stood up, he neither fought nor made peace, but wanted to kill! Kill whom? Kill Liu Zongmin, the intrusive general of Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan!

"Your Majesty, there will be a plan at the end! No need to fight, no need to make peace! Zhu Qing stood up from the messy group of ministers and bowed to Chongzhen.

As soon as the ministers saw it, they immediately quieted down, and they all wanted to see why Zhu Qing was so wildly talking.

"Oh? What's the plan? Qinglong is coming quickly! Chongzhen, who was disturbed, lit up his eyes and raised his hand to Zhu Qing and said.

"Murder plan." Zhu Qing said quietly.

As soon as Zhu Qing's words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and Chongzhen was also stunned for a moment.

"Murder plan? How? Chongzhen asked in surprise.

"You only know that the reason why Wu Sangui waved the Jingshi is because of the Qingjun side, but you don't know the strange reason." Zhu Qing explained, "Presumably, everyone present already knows about the case of the Grand Master of Chengdong Village. Zhu Qing said, then paused, observed the performance of the ministers, and sure enough, these people all nodded, the case of the archmage is a big case of the imperial court, how can you not know?

Zhu Qing nodded, "Okay, then let me ask, why did the archmage die?" ”

The ministers looked at each other, and although they knew the answer, no one dared to answer.

"Died to save Chen Yuanyuan." It was Suzaku who responded to Zhu Qing's words, and as soon as Suzaku said it, the ministers nodded one after another.

"That's right, why did the archmage save Chen Yuanyuan, I don't think I need to say more, I just want to ask you, do you remember Chen Yuanyuan's current identity?" Zhu Qing then asked.

There are indeed some ministers who don't know about this, but Chongzhen quickly said this answer, "Half a year ago, when the loyal and filial king had meritorious service on the border and rewarded the three armies, Wu Sangui accidentally saw my palace maid Chen Yuanyuan, and I could see that Wu Sangui was waiting to see Chen Yuanyuan, so he gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui as a concubine, it can be said that Chen Yuanyuan is Wu Sangui's concubine now." ”

After Chongzhen finished speaking, the ministers understood a little, and even Chongzhen himself did not expect that this Jiangnan girl who he had no time to take care of would cause such a storm today!

"That's right, then the other victim of the Chengdong Village Grand Master case is Chen Yuanyuan! The hatred of taking his wife was unbearable, and he was angry at the crown. Needless to say, you can understand this reason, right? Zhu Qing said.

As soon as the ministers heard this, they all started to discuss, and they all nodded and said yes, Wu Sangui's person who wants to clear must be the one who takes his wife!

"Now, do you know who you are going to kill?" Zhu Qing asked in a deep voice, and glanced at Li Zicheng.

"Yes...... Is it Liu Zongmin?! A minister asked secretly.

Zhu Qing suddenly turned around and pointed at the man and responded, "Yes! Not killing Liu Zongmin is not enough to make the people angry, and not killing Liu Zongmin is not enough to calm the hearts of the army! ”

As soon as Zhu Qing's words came out, the ministers fell into a riot again. Soon it was divided into two sides again, and one side said kill! While saying that it can't be killed!

"Your Majesty! Although General Liu stumbled for a while, but for the sake of a Qinglou woman, he lost a member of the imperial court, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, please think twice! "The first person to stand up against it is Wen Tiren's comrade, Lord Liang!

Lord Liang, the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Erpin, after the rebellion of the Ping Eunuch Party, it can be said that most of the credit of this person is due to the Wenchen Party Dispute, and I think that many officials have been recruited through his side of the secret Chen Cang. It is conceivable that when Lord Liang and Wen Tiren joined forces, how terrifying the Wenchen party struggle was, no wonder Wen Tiren could even kill Zhou Yanru! Now that Wen Tiren has fallen, the first assistant of the cabinet is lacking, and although Dongfang Wenbai, who was promoted by Chongzhen, is full of wealth, he is still only a fledgling in the officialdom, a rookie. As a result, the six departments emerged one after another, among which Lord Liang had the greatest momentum.

Therefore, it is not strange that Lord Liang dares to shout out and speak, and even Zhu Qing has expected it.

Seeing that there were still ministers in the DPRK who were willing to speak for the Chuang Army, as the supreme leader of the Chuang Army, Li Zigong, who could once compete with Chongzhen, stood up!

"Emperor Qi, what Lord Liang said is extremely true, Chen Yuanyuan is a woman in the dust, how can she lose a big one because of a small one? Besides, the cash border is in an emergency, General Huzi is leading the army north, if you kill General Liu at this moment, I am afraid it will mess up the army's heart, you need to know that half of the army is General Liu's department, if these soldiers mess up the army's heart and take risks, I'm afraid it will only be harmful and unprofitable, right? Li Zicheng said, and glanced at Zhu Qing!

Seeing the remarks of Lord Liang and King Li Zicheng, many ministers did not approve of killing Liu Zongmin. The ministers disagreed, which put Chongzhen, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, into a dilemma again. He looked at Zhu Qing, this was the method proposed by Zhu Qing, and it was naturally explained by Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing didn't dare to back down at all, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Liang, King Chuang and others are all against killing Liu Zongmin, and the reason seems to be right, but this is just a partiality between the two of them!" The last general thought that Liu Zongmin had to be killed! "Zhu Qing said it categorically! Even the killing wind rarely saw such anger and murderous aura appear on Zhu Qing's face!

"To kill or not to kill, there must be a reason, just now the two of them have already said, if you want to kill, please persuade me and all the ministers present!" Chongzhen also seems to be worried that the army that has finally recruited an army will rebel again, if that is the case, I am afraid that it will be even more dangerous at this time, because the war in the north is already very critical, and if Kaifeng starts again, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to deal with it!

In the face of Chongzhen's caution and the opposition of Li Zicheng and others, although Zhu Qing was angry in his heart, he did not show it, he tried his best to calm down, and then said forward: "There are three reasons for killing Liu Zongmin: First, Liu Zongmin trespassed on the blessed land of the Ming Dynasty and behaved badly!" You must know that Chengdong Village is the land of my Ming Longxing, and outsiders cannot trespass without permission. What's more, Liu Zongmin's intrusion into the village was not only colorful, but also killed. Kill it! ”

"Second, Liu Zongmin's light and thin women are immoral, and they are powerful and insulting to the people, which will make the people mistakenly think that my Ming officials are all so temperamental, and the person who committed it is Wu Sangui's favorite concubine, which is actually the reason for the Qing monarch's side; In addition, the person killed by Liu Zongmin is the archmage of our dynasty, and the archmage is the emperor's teacher, who can divinate the evil and turn the evil into good fortune. A while ago, the rain and dew moistened the soil of our country, and there was the work of the great mage. Now Liu Zongmin brutally killed him, causing anger and resentment. Kill it! ”

"Third, Liu Zongmin is the leader of the army, but his generals are more stubborn, the first battle of Beijing suburbs, Liu Zongmin's two generals tried to rebel, and they were all conquered by the general, half of his troops have been attached to the imperial court, even if the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 horses dare to make trouble, the general's million army can easily crush it, not to be afraid. What's more, now that the army has been recruited, and the laws and military regulations of the Ming Dynasty should be obeyed, the Son of Heaven has committed the same crime as the people, how can a mere murderer get away with it? Liu Zongmin, as a general, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime is added to the first degree. If the rewards and punishments are not clear, and other soldiers follow suit, then it is the real loss of the small! Kill it! ”

Zhu Qing said three reasons why Liu Zongmin should be killed in one breath, and then arched his hand, "Your Majesty, any of the above three can prove that Liu Zongmin not only violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty and violated human ethics, but also violated the prison order!" If the last general is not mistaken, the order of the military supervisor was issued by the emperor himself, and all the generals of this dynasty signed and drew a military order! It can be seen that Liu Zongmin should be beheaded! ”

After Zhu Qing finished speaking, the Manchu Dynasty was suddenly silent, and it was difficult for Lord Liang and Li Zicheng, who were still arguing with reason, to have any more words. After hearing this, the ministers began to discuss for a long time, and they all fell to Zhu Qing's side. After Chongzhen heard this, he was even more deafening, among them, the death of the archmage, the rebellion of Wu Sangui and the power of Zhu Qing's suppression made him make up his mind, kill!

However, just when Chongzhen was about to order the killing of Liu Zongmin, Lord Liang risked his life to admonish, "Your Majesty, when this is the time to employ people, why doesn't the emperor let General Liu make meritorious service for his crimes, and then it is not too late to kill the retreating enemy and punish him again!" ”

The words of the official department made Chongzhen hesitate again, but Suzaku couldn't let the matter of Zu Dashou happen again, if Liu Zongmin was not killed, the three armies would not accept it and not say it, it would definitely be a tiger to return to the mountain! Zhu Qing can't let Chongzhen be confused again, plus Zhu Qing was already suspicious of Lord Liang, this time he knew that although Wen Tiren was no longer in his position, he obviously did not eradicate the roots, and he was afraid that there was a risk of resurgence! Zhu Qing's heart is ruthless, and he must knock on the mountain and shake the tiger again!

"Your Majesty! Don't let the tiger go home! Zhu Qing pointed to Lord Liang as he spoke, "Lord Liang, why did you prevent the emperor from bringing Liu Zongmin to justice again and again?!" ”

Lord Liang didn't expect Zhu Qing to suddenly ask himself, but after all, he was a veteran of officialdom, this was just a shocking thought in his heart, so he responded calmly, "The old minister just wants to share the emperor's worries, and now that the turmoil in the DPRK has just subsided, the foreign enemy has stepped in, and the old minister doesn't want to let the enemy take advantage of it because of his internal strife." Lord Liang said bitterly, and everyone present felt that he was loyal.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing sneered, "It's rare that Lord Liang is loyal, but it's a pity that I'm afraid it's fake loyalty, right?" ”

As soon as Zhu Qing's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and Lord Liang was even more annoyed and angry, "You...... Qinglong, why are you spewing so blood?! ”

"I'm spurting blood? Then you should explain to the emperor what is going on?! Zhu Qing said, nodding to Suzaku, Suzaku shouted, "Bring it in!" ”

As he spoke, the two disciples of the Vermilion Bird Gate walked in with the two of them, and judging from the costumes of the night clothes, the two must have ghosts.

"This ......" When everyone was confused by the second monk, Lord Liang called softly, and a trace of horror flashed across his face.

"Qinglong? What's going on? Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, let's let Lord Liang say it." Zhu Qing said to Chongzhen, and then turned to Lord Liang!

Before Chongzhen could ask, Lord Liang threw himself on his knees, "Your Majesty! Although they are subordinates in the old minister's mansion, they were tied to the main hall by the brocade guard for some reason, and asked the emperor to make the decision for the old minister! ”

"What a good one for some reason!" Zhu Qing sneered, walked to the two of them, and suddenly shouted angrily, "Kneel!" ”

The two men were frightened, and as soon as their feet went soft, they threw themselves to their knees.

"Say it. Where did you come from? Zhu Qing asked.

"From ...... From outside the gate. ”

When the ministers heard this, they exclaimed. Lord Liang looked at the two house slaves, and his face was entangled with hatred.

"What are you doing outside the gates?"

"Do...... Doing Business ......"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Qing shouted, and the two of them trembled with fright.

"Go and spread the word!" One was frightened.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

"On behalf of whom?"

"Wen ...... Master Wen......"

"Lord Wen?!"

"Oh, no, no, it's Wen Tiren!"

These words shocked all the monarchs and ministers in the audience, and they all looked at Lord Liang!

Lord Liang closed his eyes angrily, gritted his teeth, and said, "Eat the dog slave inside and out!" ”

"Your Majesty! This is what was found from them. A brocade guard said, presenting a letter to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it and took a look, and the case was shot!

"Bold Liang Zhen! You've done a great job! As he spoke, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it in front of Lord Liang, who was frightened, and quickly picked up the letter to look at it, his face was shocked, and he scolded angrily, "The erector is not enough and the plan!" ”

"Come on, take the anti-minister Liang Zhen down!" Chongzhen was furious.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were frightened by this sudden situation and broke out in a cold sweat, and in just two days, the two ministers of the court and the central government fell down when they said it!

"Your Majesty, Lord Liang, ...... him?" The bold one asks tentatively.

"See for yourselves!" Chongzhen said angrily.

A group of ministers picked up the letters on the ground, and were amazed as they read them.

It turned out that the letter was a conspiracy between Wu Sangui and Wen Tiren and Liang Zhen! When Liang Zhen's house slave sneaked out, Jin Yiwei was careless, but when he came back, he was arrested!

"Your Majesty, Liu Zongmin, he ......" Zhu Qing waited for Chongzhen's final decision.

"At three o'clock in the afternoon, the noon gate will be beheaded!" Chongzhen waved his long sleeves and left angrily!

When Li Zicheng heard this, his whole body was paralyzed and his eyes were dull!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Zongmin was escorted to the noon gate, no one dared to supervise the beheading, Zhu Qing personally supervised the beheading.

"Slash!" Zhu Qing dropped the prison token, the executioner raised and fell, and Liu Zongmin's body was in a different place, ending his life of incomparable courage but flying and domineering, and the organs were exhausted.

Chen Yuanyuan hugged Ning'er excitedly and cried, and the two were quickly drowned out by the cries of the onlookers.
