(Thanks to the three real people for voting for the valuable monthly ticket, thanks to Jesonshers for the reward, thank you.) ）

Dolgon withdrew his troops from Dengzhou and Laizhou, Daishan also withdrew his troops from Mongolia, and the Ming army that attacked Montenegro also withdrew to Dalinghe City, everything came to an end for the time being, except for Dengzhou and Laizhou, which were wailing everywhere, no one would remember these things that happened, the court did not publicize it, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know.

But this incident gave Su Tiancheng a big blow, he felt that although he was a traverser, but he was not omnipotent, there were still heroes and heroes in this era, Huang Taiji was a great character, far stronger than Li Zicheng, Zijin Liang, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and others, and Huang Taiji's subordinates, there are a lot of capable people, plus Huang Taiji can put down his body and patiently listen to the opinions of all parties, if he does not take certain measures, over time, Houjin will inevitably develop greatly, However, what Qu Qingze said is also good, there are many capable people around Huang Taiji, it is not such a perfect thing, these capable people, all of them have ideas, once Huang Taiji dies, who will control these capable people.

The withdrawal of troops from Montenegro, many people can't understand, the reason for this, Su Tiancheng can't make a big fuss, and the border troops involved in the battle can't understand, let alone those ministers in the court, for a while, Su Tiancheng was very worried, and always felt that the matter was not over, I am afraid there are still some twists and turns.

Capital.

Tang Shiji, the second assistant of the cabinet, personally participated in an interrogation, of course, this interrogation, so far, is still very secret, Houjin someone defected to the capital, that is, he turned against the water, and brought a handwritten letter written by Huang Taiji. The content of this letter is mainly to ask for peace with Su Tiancheng, and the two sides will not invade each other, Huang Taiji also said in the letter that Su Tiancheng captured Dalinghe City, which really made him admire. Everyone is a hero, don't hurt each other.

The letter mentioned a very crucial matter, that is, Dolgon's withdrawal from Dengzhou and Laizhou, including Daishan's withdrawal from Mongolia, is an agreement between Huang Taiji and Su Tiancheng, in exchange for Su Tiancheng's withdrawal from Montenegro, from now on, Huang Taiji will not invade Daming for the time being, and Su Tiancheng must also guarantee. Do not cross the city of Dalinghe.

This matter is consistent with the actual development, and it is very strange that after this post-Jin Tartar turned against the water, he handed over Huang Taiji's handwritten letter, and the fact was as stated in the letter, Dolgon and Daishan withdrew, and Su Tiancheng also withdrew from Montenegro. There is really a tacit understanding between the two sides.

The anti-water person also said that Ning Yuan was heavily guarded. I didn't dare to go there to deliver the letter, in the past, if there was any contact between Huang Taiji and Su Tiancheng, it was through the capital, or to bring a message to Su Tiancheng's mansion, through Su Pingyang and others, or through the businessmen who traveled in Liaodong. Deliver the news of everything, but this is the first time to write a letter, Su Tiancheng wrote a letter to Huang Taiji before, but Huang Taiji did not reply.

It is said that there are too many suspicious things in such a whistleblower. It can be said that it is a naïve and brain-dead informant, but it has attracted the attention of Tang Shiji, and he asked Dali Temple to carry out an interrogation, and he must find out the details.

Even the officials of the Dali Temple interrogation did not believe in this matter, the anti-water person, the identity is average, but it is just an ordinary official in Houjin, it is impossible to know so many secrets of the Dao, even if Huang Taiji wants to contact Su Tiancheng, he will not send such an unreliable person to do things, so in the process of interrogation, Dali Temple has no intention at all.

But all this, with Tang Shiji's attention, began to become confusing.

After a few days of interrogation, Tang Shiji got a large amount of materials and directly found the emperor.

A very secret discussion ensued between the four of them.

In front of Zhu Youzhen, there are Sun Chengzong and Tang Shiji, one of them is the first assistant of the cabinet, the other is the second assistant of the cabinet, and standing behind Zhu Youzhen is the great eunuch Wang Chengen.

This discussion is top secret, and no matter what is said, it cannot be leaked.

Tang Shiji took out the interrogation materials, the situation reflected on them was very detailed, after a few days of interrogation, all the details were processed, and it seemed to be a perfect material.

Zhu Youzhen's face did not have any expression, which was also a noncommittal attitude.

The controversy first started between Sun Chengzong and Tang Shiji, this time, Sun Chengzong did not leave any affection, it was related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and he would never be polite.

Sun Chengzong first became angry at Tang Shiji.

"Lord Tang, this official is strange, you are the second assistant of the cabinet, this should be what Dali Temple does, what are you involved in doing, if this official understands, do you want to get these confessions, this official still has strange places, confessions cannot be formed at one time, this is the basic truth, where the interrogation of criminals, there will always be repeated, the confession materials you provide, everything is complete, and even the details are so clear, including when the Houjin Emperor Taiji wrote the letter and what he said, it is all clear, But this Houjin Tartar who took refuge in my Ming Dynasty is just a head of the household department, and the official doesn't understand, is it possible that the emperor Taiji of the Houjin, such a corporal of Lixian, and such a secret thing, have to tell this head of the household department. ”

Tang Shiji's face turned a little red and began to argue.

"Lord Sun, the lower official did participate in the interrogation, as for the circumstances mentioned by the adult, the lower official is not clear, this Houjin Tartar who took refuge in my Daming, why will he know these circumstances, the lower official is not clear, the lower official is just in a responsible attitude towards the emperor and the court, participated in this interrogation, and the lower official did not say that Lord Su must have done these things."

Sun Chengzong will not stop there.

"Oh, then the official is going to ask Lord Tang, what do you mean by bringing these things, what do you mean by suggesting that you want to launch a large-scale investigation, you even mentioned that you want to detain Su Pingyang, you want to find out what the situation is, if you rely on a letter from Houjin Tartar, you are so aggressive, then the official will not dare to protect himself, maybe one day, Huang Taiji will also write a letter to the official, and send someone to the capital to fight against the water, won't the official also be investigated."

"My lord said this, the lower officials did not agree, since they have mastered such a situation, they need to investigate clearly, otherwise if there is really such a situation, wouldn't it be dangerous."

Sun Chengzong's face showed a sneer, and he didn't care about Zhu Youzhen beside him.

"Lord Tang, this official told you very clearly, if there is really such a situation, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to stand here, don't talk about you, I'm afraid this official will lose his head, as for the following words, this official doesn't want to say it."

After saying this, Sun Chengzong knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen, he didn't need to kneel.

"Your Majesty, the minister is old and frail, and I sincerely ask to resign from the position of first assistant to the cabinet."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes are very complicated, and his heart is also mixed.

Huang Taiji's letter, as well as the anti-water Houjin Tartar, such a thing, he doesn't know how to judge, it seems to be a very simple thing, when it comes to him, it can always evoke some memories, Yuan Chonghuan back then, this is the problem that occurred, of course, Yuan Chonghuan has other things.

But Zhu Youzhen knows very well that if Sun Chengzong resigns from the post of chief assistant to the cabinet and Su Tiancheng is wronged, there may be a huge crisis in the Ming Dynasty.

But Sun Chengzong's approach made him feel angry, how could he be coerced like this.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, and he didn't mean to ask Sun Chengzong to get up, Tang Shiji spoke again.

"Lord Sun, the lower officials think that it is wrong for you to do this, isn't this to blackmail the emperor."

Sun Chengzong's face was flushed, he also felt that he was abrupt, he was so old, when he saw things, he couldn't calm down for what he couldn't do, and said softly, he wanted to take such drastic measures, of course, the emperor actually wanted to discuss such a thing, it was originally very ridiculous, the huge threat of Houjin was still in front of him, he thought about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he thought about destroying the country, and the Ming Dynasty was probably not saved.

At the critical moment, Wang Chengen spoke.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks it's better to be cautious, and Lord Sun is also in a hurry."

Wang Chengen spoke, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't be silent.

"Sun Aiqing, hurry up, I just want to hear your opinions."

Sun Chengzong didn't insist and got up immediately.

Since Wang Chengen has spoken, of course he will not stop, otherwise the emperor's temper, he knows the Tao, as a great eunuch, he is very sensitive, and he sees the problem very deeply.

"Lord Tang, we have a few questions in our family, and I would like to ask Lord Tang to solve my doubts."

"Father-in-law, please speak."

"This first question, why would Huang Taiji go far and far, and travel thousands of miles through the Jingshi to contact Master Su, could it be that Lord Su wants to rebel and involve his family, our family really doesn't understand, the second question, since Huang Taiji and Lord Su have a connection, they always have to be kept secret, the identity of the person who knows this matter is definitely not ordinary, many confidential matters will never be disclosed to outsiders, this whistleblower, how can he know that Lu Dao is so clear, it seems to be a roundworm in Huang Taiji's stomach, This third question is also the most critical question, if the emperor disposes of Lord Su, it seems that my Ming Dynasty will not get much benefit, but the emperor Taiji is happy, the border pass is shaking, the Jiangning camp is in turmoil, the border army is unstable, look at Houjin, get rid of the henchmen, and even raise a glass to congratulate, these problems, please ask Lord Tang to help solve the puzzles. ”

Tang Shiji's face turned pale, the question asked by Wang Chengen was very critical, there were too many unreasonable places, Tang Shiji didn't know the way, but the matter had come to this point, he had no way out, and it was obviously impossible to answer the questions raised by Wang Chengen.
