Liaodong is an unavoidable topic in the Ming Dynasty's political arena. It is related to the face of the Ming Dynasty's heavenly kingdom. It is related to the face of the entire Ming Dynasty. It is related to...

But gradually, the topic of Liaodong changed its flavor, and was mixed with too many interests. There was the old concept of "the noble and the military are humble", the involvement of party struggles, the collusion between the court and the Liao faction, and the relationship between the feudal lords and the feudal lords.

The collusion of the domestic thieves Shuo Shu led to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty paying more attention to Liaodong, and the more blood he spilled.

From Yang Hao to Yuan Chonghuan, during the struggle with Jianlu, the Ming Dynasty changed more than ten Liaodong managers and governors, and the territory was lost again and again, which is ironic.

"minister……"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was isolated by Emperor Chongzhen, had a panic look on his face and said in a broken voice: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..."

At this moment, the eyes of everyone gathered here were focused on Yuan Chonghuan. Zhao Lingjiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other Liaodong generals were kneeling on one knee, but their thoughts became mixed.

What the emperor asked Yuan Chonghuan was what Yuan Chonghuan said and did. He was not angry at all, but just blamed Yuan Chonghuan, why did Jianlu kill in Daming Pass?

The more calmly the emperor asked, the more panicked they became.

In these years, the imperial court allocated so much money and food to Liaodong, and also gave many official positions, but in the end, the family was stolen by Jianlu. This is nothing.

"You can't tell, right?"

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan stuttering and not knowing what to say to explain his question, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "It's okay Yuan Qing, I'm here to remind you. I'm familiar with this matter.

Well...Wang Qing, take the secret letter that I received from my dog ​​slave Huang Taiji when I was still in Sanhe, and give it to Yuan Qing to read, so that he can recall it."

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and turned to look at Wang Qia. Next to him, Li Banghua's expression changed slightly.

Many of the people who heard this had surprised expressions, especially generals such as Zhao Lijiao, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang.

What is going on?

"I...accept the decree."

When everyone was shocked and surprised, Wang Qia cupped his hands with slightly trembling hands, then took out the letter he carried with him, and walked towards Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling on the ground in a daze under the gaze of many people.

"..."

Wang Qia walked up to Yuan Chonghuan without saying a word. He bent down and handed over the letter in his hand. Yuan Chonghuan was surprised when he saw Wang Qia's hand holding the letter trembling slightly. He hesitated for a moment, took the letter and straightened his back.

I didn't open the letter.

"Yuan Qing, open it and take a look."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on his chair and said with a smile: "After reading the secret letter written by my dog ​​slave to me, maybe you can recall something."

"Your Majesty..."

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan, who was looking complicated, saw the smiling Emperor Chongzhen, hesitated to speak, and saw the eyes of the crowd, all focused on him. This made Yuan Chonghuan pretend to be calm, open the envelope, and take out the letter paper inside.

, opened it, and took a quick look.

"What do you think the secret letter written by the Jianlu slave chief was to His Majesty? Why did Your Majesty ask Yuan Chonghuan to read it?"

"Keep your voice down, what are you doing now, damn you..."

When Yuan Chonghuan opened the envelope, there was some discussion among the crowd gathered here, but the sound was very low, but Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the chair, could hear some of it.

Looking at Yuan Chonghuan's expression, which changed from hesitant to speak, to slight changes, to surprise, and then to excitement, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and Yuan Chonghuan's psychological defenses were somewhat broken by him.

"His Majesty!!!"

Yuan Chonghuan emotionally held the letter in his hand, knelt on the ground and shouted: "This is Taiji, the chief of the Jianlu slaves, who falsely accuses me. I have never done such things! These are nonsense, sir."

It’s from Ming Dynasty…”

At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan was deeply shocked. The content of the letter he read was heart-breaking. It did not imply that he collaborated with the enemy at all, but directly stated it.

From the Ningyuan victory, to the Ningjin victory, to the killing of Mao Wenlong, etc., every item has clearly written on it...

Listening to what the excited Yuan Chonghuan said, the people gathered here looked at Yuan Chonghuan and Emperor Chongzhen with different expressions, but secretly wondered in their hearts what the content of the letter was.

"Yuan Qing, why are you so excited?"

Emperor Chongzhen moved his fingers, looked at Yuan Chonghuan indifferently, and said: "I know that when the Jianlu invaders invaded our Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji, a dog slave, wrote me this secret letter just to make me furious, and then in

During the war, people were sent to arrest Yuan Qing and question him.

Changing generals and killing generals before the battle. I remember that there was such a scene in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", right?

Huang Taiji, a dog-slave, actually treats me so superficially, as if I will be like some of the civil servants who led troops out to control Liaodong, and pay attention to everything they call a battle of benevolence and righteousness.

Haha, I have to say that Huang Taiji still values ​​Yuan Qing very much, and he understands Yuan Qing’s every move in Liaodong so clearly.”

"His Majesty……"

Listening to Emperor Chongzhen's unreasonable answer, Yuan Chonghuan felt murderous intent. Maybe what he said before was nothing, but the last sentence the emperor said contained murderous intent in every word.

"Li Qing, come here."

Ignoring Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen turned around, looked at Li Banghua and said: "I remember that when Yuan Qing submitted a memorial to Ji Miyong Sanxie about reducing troops and reducing pay, you should have submitted a memorial to oppose this matter."

When he said these words, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhao Shujiao and others who were kneeling on one knee, paused, and said: "What are you kneeling for? Stand up, I said, I want to discuss the Tao with Yuan Qing."

"Wow..."

When Zhao led them to stand up hesitantly, Li Banghua stepped forward despite the pressure, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed submitted such a memorial."

Everyone present knew that the emperor was going to punish Yuan Chonghuan severely this time. Yuan Chonghuan was now labeled as a possible collaborator. This was a big deal.

Looking at the changes in the demeanor of the people behind him, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. It seemed that he was gradually peeling off Yuan Chonghuan's psychological defenses, isolating Yuan Chonghuan from everyone, and creating a famous scene of social death. Was this his plan?

It's quite effective.

Overthrowing Yuan is a political method, but it is not feasible at this stage when other generals and officials are involved. Yuan Chonghuan needs to be taken back to Shenjing to compete with the ministers in the court to achieve his own goals.
