Chapter 187: Zhu Youxiao's Principles

"Did I ask you that? I'm asking you if it's Yuan Chonghuan who has been communicating with you all the time? ”

That Huang Taiji was even more afraid, he was not afraid that Zhu Youxiao would kill him now, what he was afraid of now was whether Zhu Youxiao would send him back to the Jinyi Wei camp again, he didn't want to go back to that hellish place again.

He turned his head to take a look, but Yuan Chonghuan found that the other party was still in a kneeling position, and he couldn't see the other party's face at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister can't see this Yuan Chonghuan's face, and he doesn't know if he is the one who corresponded with the minister, and the minister has never met Yuan Chonghuan at close range, even if he is standing in front of the minister, the minister doesn't recognize him, and what the minister has seen is just his portrait."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and waved his hand, "Go back!" ”

When the Emperor Taiji heard this, he returned to the ranks of the ministers in an instant as if he had been granted amnesty.

Zhu Youxiaoyao looked at the two kneeling people with interest.

"Yuan Chonghuan, what do you say about this? Can you tell me about the letter you wrote with Huang Taiji? ”

Yuan Xiongyan did not get permission to raise his head, he could only face Zhu Youxiao, bent his body, and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a matter of this letter, but the minister ........."

His studio didn't finish speaking, but he heard Zhu Youxiao above say coldly: "You can straighten your waist and then speak!" ”

Yuan Chonghuan barely straightened his waist when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to face Zhu Youxiao's gaze, so he could only bow his head and continue: "The minister is not doing this, but because the minister understands that he knows himself and his opponent, and he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and he wants to understand the movements of Jiannu through letters." ”

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he heard Zhu Youxiao over there, applauded lightly, and said, "This is an excellent statement." ”

"I really want to say that you are also an illicit Jiannu, and you plan to let Jiannu enter the customs and destroy my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, I don't believe it, you are really a little loyal to my Daming."

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he felt relieved, he suddenly felt that he might really be able to pass the test when he met the emperor this time.

But as soon as his heart relaxed, he heard Zhu Youxiao over there suddenly shout.

"But your little loyalty can't save your dog's life, don't you want to change the emperor? Do you have the letter given to you by the Donglin Party with you now? Do you want to show me what these Donglin Party members promised you? ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't hold back any longer, bowed down on the spot, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is all a rumor, the minister is loyal to you, and has never had any evil thoughts, and the minister is loyal to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed, and the civil and military generals also laughed.

He looked at this Yuan Chonghuan, and there was a bit of mockery in his words.

"Yuan Chonghuan, just because you dare to say that you are loyal, hundreds of miles, you have walked for a month and a half, I want you to dare to go to Xifengkou, a month and a half, that is, to climb, you should also climb."

Yuan Chonghuan's body trembled like chaff, but he knew that these things were definitely impossible to recognize, and if he did, he would not only be unlucky, but his whole family would not be able to save it.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the minister rushed here is because of all kinds of accidents along the way, and some bridges were broken because of disrepair."

"This Liaodong is short of food every year, and if we want to go on the expedition, the supply of grain and grass materials is not available, which also seriously slows down the progress of our army.

Yuan Chonghuan had already thought of all these things, he did not leak anything, he did send people to dismantle the bridges in several important places in advance, and deliberately temporarily transferred food from various places, resulting in a real shortage of food supply.

When the civil and military generals present heard Yuan Chonghuan's words, their faces turned red.

They had no way to refute Yuan Chonghuan's words, presumably Yuan Chonghuan must have been prepared when he said this, and he was not afraid of them to investigate at all.

But after Zhu Youxiao above heard these words. He sighed and nodded slowly, and said, "I don't need to check these things you said, they must have happened, and I can't find anything out of them." ”

"If it is calculated in this way, then it is really me who wronged you Yuan Chonghuan, and I have to make amends for you."

Yuan Chonghuan knew that he must not be soft at this time, and if he was soft, something would happen, so he stiffened his neck and said: "Your Majesty is serious, we are your courtiers after all, Your Majesty's thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, all we can do is to be loyal to Your Majesty." ”

"But this matter is indeed not worth the time of our dispatch, which caused us to march slowly, and it can be regarded as a delayed military aircraft, please punish Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed out loud, laughing not even half of the emperor's physique, but a little crazy.

"What a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, a good thunder and rain and dew are all Jun'en, Yuan Chonghuan, do you really dare not kill you?"

Yuan Chonghuan has now entered a state of excitement, he fell to the ground, but his waist was strong.

"The minister didn't dare to think like this, but the minister believed that His Majesty was a Ming monarch, and he definitely couldn't do anything to kill loyal ministers."

It was Yuan Chonghuan who had studied Zhu Youxiao, and he found that Zhu Youxiao had been very fond of killing people in the past two years, and had killed many ministers of the Donglin Party.

For this purpose, Zhu Youxiao confiscated a lot of silver taels and a lot of land, and distributed these lands to the displaced people, and used these silver taels to expand armaments and train new troops.

But Yuan Chonghuan discovered one thing, Zhu Youxiao likes to kill, but he doesn't kill indiscriminately.

Every minister of the Donglin Party he killed had a reason.

Some of the ministers who were killed were motivated by conspiracy to rebel, and some were due to corruption.

And these things are all well-documented, Zhu Youxiao will first put the evidence in front of the world, and then kill the minister.

is good at killing people but not indiscriminately, Zhu Youxiao still kept the final bottom line, which is also the reason why people in the world cannot refute Zhu Youxiao, and even can't publicly reprimand Zhu Youxiao.

So if he settles down today, so that Zhu Youxiao has no way to come up with any evidence to prove that he Yuan Chenghuan is guilty, then he may be able to survive today.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Yuan Chonghuan, you are a very treacherous person, you know that I am unwilling to destroy my principles. ”

"But I have to kill you today, don't you want proof?"

"Then I'll show you a piece of evidence."
