As if realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Chongzhen said tentatively: "I intend to release Yuan Chonghuan, but now is not the time. Yang Chengying has just made a new contribution, and I can't do it. ”

"I know." Xu Yuqing was overjoyed, Inspector Yuan was about to come out.

These days, Wanmin Shu from western Liaoning, Yang Chengying and He Kegang jointly played a request for the release of Yuan Chonghuan.

They were all ignored by the emperor.

I didn't have an idea, but I finally relented today.

The Forbidden City is a place where the wind blows inside and out.

Soon, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Liang Tingdong got the news and were in a hurry.

They hurriedly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty personally said that Yuan Chonghuan would be released?"

Without waiting to sit down, Liang Tingdong asked anxiously: "Let's talk casually and test the reaction of your subordinates." ”

"It's not like a tentative reaction."

Zhou Yanru was the most steady, "The news in the palace was told by His Majesty to Xu Yuqing, who came back from Liaodong. ”

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were large and had very low incomes, so they were the easiest to be bought.

As long as there is a little bit of wind and grass, the foreign minister will know it at the first time.

"Liaodong is under the governance of Yang Chengying, which has the meaning of 'Guanwai Jiangnan'."

Wen Tiren guessed: "Your Majesty may want to release Yuan Chonghuan and use him to balance Yang Chengying." ”

"Isn't Inspector Sun good?" Liang Tingdong frowned.

"He? The old man had been away from Liaodong for a long time, and he couldn't even get out of Shanhaiguan. ”

Zhou Yanru sneered: "He can't get any money from Liaodong Town. Wang Chengyin and others took refuge in him, but there was no money to reward those soldiers. ”

"Wang Chengyin went to Datong, and Liu Zeqing was arranged to go to Shandong."

Wen Tiren said, "This is all the result of Old Man Sun's inaction. ”

These senior officers from Jinshi didn't care about the low-level soldiers, and only paid a little attention to the main general.

"These are not the point, the point is that Yuan Chonghuan must not be allowed to live."

Liang Tingdong said: "As long as he lives for a day, his plan to use him to drive Qian Longxi and Han Yi out of the cabinet will be completely ruined." ”

"That's right, for the sake of our future, they must be blasted out of the cabinet."

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren nodded again and again.

The three of them discussed for an hour, and finally came up with a plan to kill Yuan Chonghuan and blame Qian Longxi and Han Yi.

They fabricated the so-called evidence of Yuan Chonghuan's "collaboration with the enemy".

First, the so-called evidence of Yuan Chonghuan's "peace" with Huang Taiji was witnessed by Li Suonan, who was tortured.

The second is the evidence that Yuan Chonghuan sold rice to Duo Yanwei and exaggerated the role of selling rice.

If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan selling rice to Houjin, the soldiers they brought would have beaten Jizhen.

The witness was Liang Tingdong himself, and the reason was that he was driven away by Yuan Chonghuan from his military post because he discovered this big secret.

Third, Yuan Chonghuan blackmailed Yang Chengying with 1.5 million silver, instead of 2 million as rumored. The purpose is naturally to weaken Yang Chengying's strength.

The witness was Xie Shangzheng, a former general of the Guanning Army, who followed Zhu Mei to Ma Shilong.

When the "evidence" is sufficient, they then target Qian Longxi in the cabinet. said that he colluded with the border generals and plotted against him.

Chongzhen was furious and ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Qian Longxi, and assigned the Beizhen Fusi to review Yuan Chonghuan's traitorous case.

The news was learned by Yang Chengying, and he, who was still in Zhenyu City, went to Emperor Chongzhen and pardoned Yuan Chonghuan.

The cabinet minister Cheng Ji also went to the court in succession, begging Chongzhen to pardon Yuan Chonghuan.

Chongzhen is not allowed.

So, just like when Yu Qian was unjustly killed, Jinyiwei, who was bribed and had his own interests damaged, fabricated a large number of confessions and forced Yuan Chonghuan to draw a prisoner.

Finally, it was presented to Chongzhen.

After Chongzhen checked it repeatedly, he crossed out the words "plotting treason and deceiving the king" and "leading the enemy to threaten peace" in the confession, and did not accept them.

"Your Majesty......"

Seeing Chongzhen cross out these two "serious crimes", Wang Chengen was afraid that the emperor would make a mistake for a while, so he reminded him carefully.

Chongzhen was writing, and his hand couldn't help but shake lightly when he heard the words, but he quickly returned to normal, and asked without being salty, "What's wrong?" ”

"Minion, it's okay." Wang Chengen was very sorry for making this noise.

"Dog minion, you think you're smart."

Chongzhen put down the pen in his hand and said: "In the battle of Guangqumen, I got the report, Yuan Chonghuan was almost shot into a hedgehog, how could he plot to betray and deceive the king." ”

"Then, Your Majesty......"

"You're trying to say, why don't I take it lightly?"

"The minions don't dare."

"Humph! If I let him go, everyone in the world will think that I am a faint king. ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen was really scared.

blame yourself for your damn "conscience", what are you doing with this extra sentence.

Chongzhen got up, walked a few steps, and looked back to see the plaque of "Nine Thoughts".

After a long time, he said: "Ding Mao's change has been pacified, and Guan Ningjun has also been pocketed by Yang Chengying." Even if the Guanning Army is obtained again, Liaoxi will not have much effect.

There are many Liao people in the Guanning army, and they have been guarding Jizhen for a long time, and there will definitely be chaos.

Since there is no Guan Ning Army, what is the use of Yuan Chonghuan. ”

Wang Chengen lowered his head very low, just as if he hadn't heard a word.

The next morning, Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to read out the holy decree:

Yuan Chonghuan's entrustment was ineffective, he was deceitful and hidden, he used the city rice to steal, and to seek money to bully the commander, indulged in the enemy's long-term drive, stopped the army without fighting, and the reinforcements were four sets, and they were dismissed, and the soldiers were thin under the city, and they sneaked into the city with lamas, insisting on entering the city, all kinds of crimes. The official of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment announced that according to the law, the family members of the family should be beheaded for more than 16 years, and the family members under the age of 15 would be enslaved. Now his wife and concubines, children and brothers of the same birth are 2,000 miles away, and the rest are relieved.

"Your Majesty is forgiving, even the families of the traitors are pardoned."

Wen Tiren hurriedly patted his ass: "The ministers were born in the Chongzhen period, what a glory and what a happiness." ”

"The wisdom of the Son of Heaven can't even be matched by Emperor Qin and Han Wu."

Zhou Yanru also patted his ass.

With them taking the lead, the ministers shouted long live with all kinds of thoughts.

"Passed the decree, Tu Guoding, the waiter of the Criminal Department, sent a driving sticker, proposed Yuan Chonghuan from the Fusi of Beizhen, and sent it to Xi City for execution."

Chongzhen said loudly.

When Yuan Chonghuan, who had been detained for many days and was unkempt, was pulled out of the edict by the prison car, countless people in Beijing rushed to watch after hearing the news.

These poor people, coerced by rumors, blamed Yuan Chonghuan's "incompetence" for the responsibility of bankrupting their families and separating their wives.

Most of them were robbed by the Later Jin Army and the Ming Army of King Qin during the Ding Mao Revolution.

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs greeted Yuan Chonghuan one after another.

In the face of the people of the Ming Dynasty that he had tried his best to protect, Yuan Chonghuan was silent.

At the execution site, the executioner read out the war.

Yuan Chonghuan listened, and finally couldn't help crying:

"A lifetime of career is empty, and half a lifetime of fame is in a dream. After death, there is no worry about the brave generals, and the loyal soul still guards Liaodong. ”

Who's that brave general?

He was then subjected to the most brutal disc torture by the executioners.

The onlookers rushed up, snatched the slices of meat cut off Yuan Chonghuan's body, and ate them raw.

There are also people who pay a high price for it.

This hero of the late Ming Dynasty died in the hands of his own people.

After his death, Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet, was sentenced to death, but Chongzhen did not kill him, but was only imprisoned in the edict prison for a long time.

As for the first assistant Han Yi, he didn't speak because of his embarrassing identity, and chose to dismiss after Yuan Chonghuan was killed.

Li Biao once again served as the first assistant.

Wen Tiren entered the cabinet as he wished and served as a second assistant.

Zhou Yanru also entered the cabinet and served as the first assistant after Li Biao's withdrawal.

The two guys got together because of the profits, and they were separated because of the benefits, and after they both entered the cabinet, they fell into a long-term mutual attack.

In order to make some political achievements, Liang Tingdong played the imperial court with Qiu Hejia as the governor of Denglai.

He hoped that the honest and hard-working Qiu Hejia would purge the army and go north to support Gyeonggi at any time.

A new war is coming!
