Rewind time to the night of the massacre of the Guanning Iron Horsemen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading]
After the killing, Wu Sangui didn't know how he got to the mansion, he was groggy, and his mind was full of the tragic scene just now.
"Poof!"
Not long after arriving at home, he finally couldn't help his stomach and vomited half a basin in one go.
The servant carefully brought a towel for him to wipe down.
Taking the towel and wiping his mouth, Wu Sangui said weakly to the man: "Fetch me a bucket of cold water, I want to take a bath." β
Wu Sangui has a habit that can also be called a quirk, that is, taking a bath, and taking a cold shower.
No matter how cold the weather is, no matter when or where, once he has something undecided in his heart, he will always use this to calm his mind and then make a judgment.
For example, the last time he was in the Battle of Songjin, he washed it once a day.
Over time, this habit develops.
Today, for example, his mind is in an unprecedented chaos, and he urgently needs a bucket of cold water to cool himself down, so that he can analyze the current state and make plans for the future.
The subordinate was very obedient, and he was ready in five minutes.
Wu Sangui ignored the cold of late autumn, gritted his teeth and soaked in a wooden barrel filled with cold water.
As the cold water spread throughout his body, his mind began to clear and his mind broadened.
After a bucket of cold showers, Wu Sangui was gone.
To be precise, it should have escaped.
After all, after so many years of wandering in Shanhaiguan, even if Zhu Changyuan's forces were everywhere, he still had the ability to sneak away from the city gate.
What's more, for everything today, Zhu Changyuan is open to convenience.
When Qin Lin walked to Zhu Changyuan's superintendent's mansion with his guards, reported to him Wu Sangui's whereabouts and asked for instructions on whether to pursue, Zhu Changyuan waved his hand and said, "Let him go!" β
For Zhu Changyuan at present, it is better for Wu Sangui to be alive than dead, and it is better to run away than to stay in Shanhaiguan.
In this way, he could explain everything in his note to Emperor Chongzhen. and put the blame on Wu Sangui's head, and he can also be charged with absconding in fear of crime.
However, there is a sufficient time lag in between. You can't let Wu Sangui run to the Jingshi so fast.
For this point, Zhu Changyuan had already made arrangements, and the moment Wu Sangui left the city with his front foot, six or seven big men followed him, in order to prevent Wu Sangui from arriving in Beijing so quickly.
But. That's all for later.
When he got up early the next morning, Zhu Changyuan stretched his waist and ate, moved, and exercised in the house like a nobody. And Chen Yuanyuan, who learned what happened, ran to Zhu Changyuan with resentment, hoping to question him.
Ask: Why kill so many people?
Is this still the god of war who has made great achievements in war and shines in China? How is this different from the Killer King?
"The general is angry, bleeding and drifting, six thousand corpses, Shanhaiguan is red, the prince is so majestic!" Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Zhu Changyuan contemptuously. There was some sneering and cynicism, and the good impression left by this thing yesterday also disappeared with this killing.
Zhu Changyuan was very calm, asked Chen Yuanyuan to sit down, did not make any excuse, just said softly: "You have an injury, sit down and say." β
"I'm not sitting!" Chen Yuanyuan stood stubbornly and continued to ask: "Do you regret what happened yesterday?" Has the prince ever tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep? β
Zhu Changyuan sighed. pretended to be Qi Qi and said: "How can I not regret it, I regret that my intestines are blue, but it has happened." What can I do now? I can only be sorry for those dead brothers! β
"Since you regret it, why did you pay it back then," Chen Yuanyuan took a deep breath and held back his strength and said, "So killing?" β
"Without him!" Zhu Changyuan's eyes flashed: "At that time, Ben Hou was angry at the crown!" β
"What?"
Chen Yuanyuan's body shook. The eyes were stunned!
Chong Guan is angry and red-faced!
Seven words are enough to make her feel emotional, right?
Zhu Changyuan was shameless in his heart, completely ignoring the fact that this poem was written by Wu Meicun to satirize Wu Sangui at that time. Anyway, the current "Round Song" has not yet been born, whatever, Lao Tzu will use it for himself first.
"At that time, Ben Hou's heart was in turmoil, and when he thought of Chen Ji, you were tied to a stake and suffered from an arrow, Ben Hou, Ben Hou couldn't wait to slaughter the entire Shanhai City." Zhu Changyuan continued to lie, gritted his teeth and shook hands, and said: "Whoever dares to touch Benhou will end up like this." β
"From now on, I want the whole world to know that you Chen Yuanyuan is the person I Zhu Changyuan wants to protect, who dares to touch you, such as moving the scales of Benhou, life and death are in my hands!"
"From now on, in the entire Ming Empire, no one will dare to bully you!"
When did Chen Yuanyuan hear such touching words, no matter how much he was full of resentment and moved the people to come, he also became moved, and said: "Isn't the prince afraid of killing too much, and there will be no good end?" β
"How similar is Wu Anjun in history to the prince?"
Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, interrupted Chen Yuanyuan's words, and said: "Benhou is not Bai Qi, and Chongzhen is not King Qin Zhao, don't worry, I know it in my heart." β
After speaking, he ignored Chen Yuanyuan and went out.
A day later, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty arrived, expressing his willingness to negotiate peace with Zhu Changyuan, and also agreed to return Ningyuan and Jinzhou to Zhu Changyuan, but at the same time, he also made it clear that because Duoduo had been in Shengjing recently, he would not be able to return in a short time, and the delivery of the city would be delayed for a while.
The envoy also said that the long would be half a month, and the short would be three or five days, and the settlement would be made with him.
Zhu Changyuan gladly accepted this.
Then, he hurriedly wrote a letter to Emperor Chongzhen, on the one hand, the "truth" of the killing of 6,000 iron horsemen in the entire Shanhaiguan City was clearly narrated from beginning to end, and asked the imperial court to assist in the arrest of the criminal Wu Sangui. On the other hand, while reporting the worries, he also reported good news to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that the Qing Dynasty was forced by the pressure of the Ming Dynasty and expressed his willingness to return Ningyuan and Jinzhou, but there was a day of delivery, and the specific month remained.
Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was not idle, his health has improved a little in the past few days, and he is discussing with his ministers how to deal with Zhu Changyuan's affairs.
The platform meeting has been held for two days, and all civil and military officials above the third grade in Beijing must participate.
And there is only one topic to discuss at this meeting, that is, how to deal with Zhu Changyuan.
Da Ming's mouth cannon party began to exert 12 percent of its strength, stirring up the entire court into darkness, and the final result was a dispute.
Some people. For example, Xue Guoguan, Jiang Fengyuan, and Wen Tiren's old past, all agreed that Zhu Changyuan had made a big mistake and should be arrested and executed immediately.
Another part. Headed by Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and people including Liu Zunxian and Shang Zhouzuo, they all shouted for Zhu Changyuan. Of course, these people are not exonerating Zhu Changyuan, but advocating the establishment of an investigation team first. On the one hand, I went to Liaodong to understand what happened, and on the other hand, I was always ready for Zhu Changyuan to jump off the wall in a hurry.
Yes, no one in the entire court exonerated Zhu Changyuan.
Really, this thing is too big, big enough to poke a hole in the sky.
As long as anyone with a little brain knows, even if some people in Guanning Tieqi participated in the kidnapping and blackmailing of Zhu Changyuan's wife, it is definitely not everyone.
And this time, this thing killed all the soldiers in a fit of rage, which was not only intolerable to the imperial court, but even had a dry day. Even Zhu Changyuan's closest partner - the system. I can't stand it.
deducted 100 million points of his contribution in one go.
However, just when everyone was arguing about whether to take Zhu Changyuan on the spot and bring him back to Jingshi for questioning, Zhu Changyuan's recital was presented to Chongzhen's case.
"Read!"
When the eunuch presented the music, Chongzhen did not accept it, but directly ordered Wang Chengen to read it in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
"I want to see what kind of reason he Zhu Changyuan can find to excuse himself."
Chongzhen snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and he was fully prepared. And he has already made up his mind in his heart: Zhu Changyuan, I'm afraid I can't stay.
Although this person is talented and unparalleled in the world, it is a pity that he is too unpopular. It's like a madman.
"Yes!"
Wang Chengen opened the recital and read aloud from the beginning: "Minister, Zhu Changyuan, the governor of Jiliao, bow your head and ask Your Majesty how is it?" β
"Since the ministers supervised Liaodong, the rebel minister Wu Sangui has made things difficult in every way. With the enemy everywhere, he connived at his subordinate soldiers, captives and concubines, tied them to Nanshan, and after the incident, he cut the left cheek of the whole army to cover up his crimes. The soldiers of Guanning relied on their high merits, and they were in collusion with Wu Sangui, as if they were independent, and they had the tendency to subordinate themselves to Liang and then divide Liaodong. β
"The minister mutinied in the defense army, and the society was unstable, so he killed the enemy and killed more than 6,000 rebels, hoping that His Majesty would see it."
"Damn!"
Wang Chengen hadn't finished reading it, Chongzhen slapped it on the table and said, "The rebel and thief are still high-sounding." β
"yes!" Jiang Fengyuan said: "Zhu Changyuan is hateful, Your Majesty must not listen to slander, the minister dares to guarantee with his life, Wu Sangui has no objection!" β
"Your Majesty!" Xue Guoguan came out of the ranks, and also said loudly: "The minister is also willing to guarantee his life, and Wu Changbo has no objection." β
"Read on!"
Chongzhen angrily ignored the two.
Wang Chengen lowered his head and continued to read the edict in his hand.
"The affairs of Liaodong are as urgent as fighting fires, and since the beginning of his tenure, he has not dared to be tired for a day, and every time he thinks about Jun's grace, he can't sleep at night. The former led the Ming Rui Division into * Ningyuan, and made a forced landing; Today, thanks to the merits of His Majesty's gods, he has obtained two cities! β

"The honor and disgrace of the family and the country, the minister does not dare to forget it for a day, as for the matter of Ningyuan Jinzhou, it will be ten days at least, and more than a month, and it will be delivered soon, and the minister would like to congratulate His Majesty on regaining the joy of Ningjin."
γγγ
When Wang Chengen read this, Chongzhen was stunned, the minister was stunned, and even Wang Chengen himself was stunned, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Take it! Show me! β
Hearing that Zhu Changyuan led the army to land in Huang Taiji and sit in the land of Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Chongzhen immediately changed his face one hundred and eighty degrees, not only did his previous anger disappear, but he even changed to a happy smile.
It seems that the emperor's section c is just like that. (To be continued.) )
PS: Good night, brothers.
In addition, in order to urge himself to adhere to the code word and strengthen the supervision of readers, Zhu Changyuan decided: for every 5,000 starting coins rewarded, add a new chapterγγγγγ Hehe!
