Yuan Chonghuan kept his senses, took a step back, and replied with suspicion: "Contemptible people don't dare!" What I said just now is all nonsense because of yesterday's alcoholism, please don't take it seriously! ”

Ye Chengxue snorted, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Chonghuan was now behind Guan Ningbing, he would have wanted to directly arrest Yuan Chonghuan and go to the front of the palace to impeach him.

But he knew that the Son of Heaven had not completely turned his face with Guan Ningbing, so he didn't say much, only shouted: "Take all the rebels out!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, courtiers such as Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zuo Yuqing, the secretary of the Shao Zhan Department and the political envoy, were escorted out.

And these people have all changed into prison uniforms and are tied up in the station cage.

Ye Chengxue said: "Your Majesty has a decree, the criminals Xie Sheng, Zuo Yuqing and others forced the palace and committed the crime of bullying the king, and they were immediately sentenced to beheading. ”

"Obey the order!"

Yuan Chonghuan replied with an ugly face.

Zu Dachun, the younger brother of Zu Dashou, couldn't help but come forward and question Ye Chengxue a few words, asking Ye Chengxue what was going on, and said that he would coerce His Majesty to invite the prince out of the pavilion to study, why did he suddenly change his hexagram and cut off a few people who asked the prince to come out of the customs for the Son of Heaven? also named Yuan Chonghuan to watch the punishment, which means a few things! Is it easy for Lao Tzu to run after the Tartars from afar, and as a result, you show me this, and see how you cut the bodies of our conspirators?

Zu Dashou hurriedly gave Zu Dachun a look, stopped his younger brother's reckless behavior, and only looked at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't have much to say at this time.

Because he and the entire Guan Ning soldiers behind him didn't dare to really turn their faces against the apocalypse.

First, the strength is not enough, the strength of the Guards has long been proven to be above his Guan Ning soldiers, after all, the Guards are a strong army that can gather and annihilate a few Niu Lu in the field on a large scale. He Guan Ningbing can now be detached from the court, just because the external troubles have not been eliminated.

The second is that they are too poor outside the Guan, and their rich life and the cost of raising the army all depend on the Liaoyuan of the imperial court, otherwise, if they only rely on their own land economy outside the Guan, they can only be the same as Jiannu, and even the top-level generals dare not eat and drink at will, and all grain must be strictly rationed.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan could only endure it now, and stood in place, looking at Xie Sheng and the others seriously.

Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Yuqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zuo Yuqing, the political envoy of Shao Zhan, had been pressed under the guillotine at this time, and they all glanced at Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan also took a look at them.

His mood is very complicated now, and he is also very aggrieved.

Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning generals were the same, they didn't expect this result.

happily came to the king of Guanneiqin, ready to wait to force the emperor to agree to the prince's study in the cabinet, so that in the future, he will completely control the prince, and then control the future government, and be able to change the new policy carried out in the future.

But they didn't expect that the key person in charge of the military power of the forbidden army, Ye Chengxue! This man is not on his side.

Therefore, now Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou can only watch Xie Sheng and others being beheaded.

"The hour is up, slash!"

Katsa!

Katsa!

Katsa!

As a heavy guillotine fell, Xie Sheng, Zuo Yuqing and the others were instantly cut in half.

"It hurts!"

Xie Sheng's upper body moved on the ground in unbearable pain, and it didn't take long for him to die of blood.

The same goes for everyone else.

But this scene had a great shock to Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou and others.

You must know that Xie Sheng is one of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and he was beheaded directly in front of him.

This shows that the emperor really has no intention of letting this matter go easily.

Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou were angry and afraid for a while.

"Zhu Youxiao is too much of a bully! If he says kill, he will kill, what does he mean, does he say, even we will dare to kill in the future?! ”

After Ye Chengxue and the others left, Zu Dachun couldn't help but grit his teeth and say a word in Yuan Chonghuan's tent.

Zu Dashou ignored his younger brother, only looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "Zhongcheng, no matter whether Ye Chengxue defected to the battle, or whether he had premeditated and deliberately targeted us, we are already riding a tiger now." The Son of Heaven did not kill us today, just because the enemy pressed the border, and there was also the death of his uncle Zhang Gui, and the 50,000 troops under his command did not return. But that doesn't mean they won't kill us in the future. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan laughed instead of being angry: "What, you still want to rebel directly?" ”

Zu Dashou said: "It's not like this, Jingshi, it's not so easy to fight if you really want to fight, not to mention that Jingshi is not without troops." It's just that now, we can't help but think about our own future. ”

"The way back is to invite the prince out of the cabinet to study, this thing must be realized!"

Yuan Chonghuan said with a serious expression.

Zu Dashou said: "How else can we achieve it, we can't persecute the Son of Heaven through Ye Chengxue." ”

Yuan Chonghuan sneered: "You can let the Tartars persecute the Son of Heaven!" ”

After hearing this, Zu Dashou understood: "What does Zhongcheng mean?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan nodded: "Ben Fu will write a letter to Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan, and ask them to cooperate with us." They should also understand that if the Ming Dynasty does not compromise now, they really have to watch the Ming Dynasty become stronger and stronger because of the New Deal, and they will not have a good life! ”

"What Zhongcheng said is true! Uncle Guo has been killed, and the 50,000 guards are only afraid that they will be destroyed in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the guards in Beijing are afraid that they will not be able to come out again to drive away the Tartars, and the matter of driving the Tartars back can only rely on my Guanning army. As long as these Tartars are allowed to plunder more fiercely in Gyeonggi, the more anxious the powerful ministers in the city will be, the more they want the Tartars to retreat, and then the more they will force Zhu Youxiao to agree to let the prince go out of the cabinet to study. ”

Zu Dashou replied and said with a smile.

So, Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to Huang Taiji.

As in history, he and Huang Taiji have exchanged letters not once or twice in private, and they already have a special messenger.

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

And not long after, after receiving Yuan Chonghuan's letter, Huang Taiji discussed with Fan Wencheng and others.

Fan Wencheng said: "In the humble opinion of the slaves, now we flag people are having a hard time. Nowadays, the banner people are still willing to follow their masters into the customs thousands of miles away, in order to make a fortune by plundering the Han people in the customs. Otherwise, if it goes on like this, because there are no Jin merchants and no smuggled materials, sooner or later there will be a civil uprising in my Dajin. Therefore, now, what we need now is to loot the manors of the magnates of Gyeonggi in the Ming Kingdom, and loot back the grains and iron materials stored in these magnates manors, so that the morale of the people is still high. ”

Huang Taiji nodded: "You're right, this is what my Dajin needs most now." Then write back to him Yuan Chonghuan, and we are willing to cooperate in plundering the estates of the magnates outside the city, creating panic, and giving him a chance to force their Emperor Majesty to agree to let their crown prince go out of the palace to study. ”

Fan Wencheng hurriedly flattered: "Master Shengming! In fact, letting the prince of the Ming Kingdom only grow in the hands of Confucianism is also conducive to my Dajin in the future. ”

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "In this case, when passing on the will of Ben Khan, when plundering various manors, you must pay homage to the Confucian scholars, and you must not be contemptuous and insulting, otherwise, Ben Khan will not be spared!" In addition, with each chapter of Jing and Ezhen, after catching the Great Confucian, he must be invited to help Ben Khan. Especially Sun Chengzong, who lives in Gaoyang. If you can make this teacher of the Ming Emperor a slave of Ben Khan, it is undoubtedly a happy thing! ”

Fan Wencheng also smiled.

Lin Dan Khan also received a reply from Yuan Chonghuan here, expressing his agreement to cooperate, because their Mongol tribes are now also pouring out, and they don't want to return empty-handed, and they also want to loot the powerful estates here in the rich Gyeonggi area of the Ming Dynasty.

After Yuan Chonghuan received the reply from these two people, he laughed: "Sure enough, they are willing to cooperate." Ben Zhongcheng will ask His Majesty to let the prince out of the cabinet to study, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, how can he not know the hard work of the contemptible people? ”

Saying that, Yuan Chonghuan asked the emperor to quickly issue an order to let the prince go out of the pavilion to study, so as to calm the army's heart, and let them, the Guanning army, repel the Tartar army as soon as possible for the imperial court.

Tianqi didn't expect that Yuan Chonghuan had just sent the second letter inviting the prince out of the pavilion to study, and then sent a third letter.

"Presumptuous! Is he deceiving him and not daring to kill him Yuan Chonghuan?! ”

Apocalypse was furious and directly overthrew all the instruments in front of him.

Wei Zhongxian said on the side: "Speaking of which, they are also doing this because Uncle Guo is no longer there, and the emperor is now short of soldiers and horses. ”

"Report!"

Han Yi walked over quickly at this time, panting and saying with a smile: "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo has a hurry to send it back, and he was not killed!" said that he would rush back after dealing with Jiangnan. ”

"What?!"

"What you say is true?!"
