0947 Liu Dahai re-enters Beijing
As time goes by, news of Huang Taiji coming to proclaim himself emperor continued to come, and the news became more and more accurate. However, the court seemed to be unmoved. This made Liu Pei completely unfamiliar! It also made Liu Pei dare not write to the book easily. Once the book is bad, it is not fun!
Until the end of May, there was a clear news that Huang Taiji officially became emperor in Shenyang for sacrifice to heaven and ascend to the throne! Even the news in the palace newspaper clearly posted this news. Liu Pei was relieved. Liu Pei immediately wrote a secret letter and a memorial, and sent Liu Dahai to Beijing with his personal bodyguard.
After Liu Dahai arrived in Beijing, he did not go directly to send Liu Pei's memorial, but rushed to Cao Huachun's outer house with gifts.
Eunuchs like Cao Huachun usually have external houses outside the palace, which can make them easier for their own affairs and make them live more comfortable.
Cao Huachun's outer house in Beijing is a three-in-one yard, and every inch of land is valuable in Beijing. Liu Dahai knocked on the door and a small eunuch came out. Before he could speak, Liu Dahai first stuffed a small ingot of silver into the hand of the eunuch!
The little eunuch quietly weighed it with his hands and knew that it was not worth it. He immediately showed a smile on his face. The little eunuch like him also had a lot of monthly income! After all, there were more people who wanted to ask Cao Huachun to do business, so the door bags he gave him were naturally indispensable!
However, this person obviously gave more money than others, so the little eunuch asked with a smile on his face: "Do you want to pay a visit to Eunuch Cao?"
Liu Dahai nodded and said, "My father-in-law, I do have something urgent to pay my respects to Eunuch Cao, I hope it will be convenient!"
The little eunuch said with regret: "But my father-in-law has entered the palace and has not come back yet! And I don't know if he can come back today?"
Liu Dahai didn't expect to see Cao Huachun immediately. So Liu Dahai was unhurried and stuffed another ingot of silver to the little eunuch and said, "Please think of a way to convey a message to the palace, and say that Liu Dahai, the general of Denglai, Shandong, would like to see his father-in-law if there is an urgent matter!"
The little eunuch collected the silver and weighed it in his hand. He found that it was almost 20 taels! This is not a small amount, it is worth a trip! So it was right
Liu Dahai said: "How about you go into the doorman and sit first, and I will pour you a cup of tea. Then I will arrange for someone to deliver messages to the palace."
Liu Dahai bowed and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law!"
After saying that, he went to the doorman under the guidance of the little eunuch. The little eunuch poured him a cup of tea, then called a little eunuch, muttered a few words and sent him out.
Liu Dahai knew that Cao Huachun had to take up a position in the palace every day, so he specially chose to come when the sky was about to get dark. So after a while, it would get completely dark. Liu Dahai thought that Cao Huachun was about to step down at this time, so he stood up to move his body and tidy up his clothes.
Sure enough, not long after, I heard the sound of a carriage and horse huddle. Then I heard the little eunuch say from a distance: "Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"
Then Cao Huachun said, "Take all the visits today, let's take a look at it."
Then the voice went straight to the main hall. After a while, the little eunuch smiled and picked up the curtain and said, "My father-in-law, please tell me the conversation in the main hall."
Liu Dahai did not dare to neglect and immediately followed the little eunuch to the main hall.
Liu Dahai stepped into the main hall and glanced around quickly. The main hall of the house was very large, but there were very few things to visit. Only the first cloud table was equipped with two Grand Master chairs, with three chairs on both sides. A palace lantern on top of his head was quite bright. In the corner, there was a crane incense burner that was spewing green smoke, making the room full of the good smell of sandalwood. The strangest thing was that the main hall actually hung a picture of a tiger going down the mountain! This was a bit inconsistent with the atmosphere of the main hall.
However, when Liu Dahai saw this picture of the tiger going down the mountain, he felt that he was more confident of success. Liu Dahai calmed down and went up to worship Cao Huachun, saying, "Student Liu Dahai has met Eunuch Cao."
Cao Huachun waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up. He is also an acquaintance."
After Liu Dahai stood up, he thanked Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun said, "If you don't serve your general, why do you go to Beijing? Don't be honest, there are still many people here in our family who want to see that!"
Liu Dahai hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not!
The student has a handwritten letter from my general and a memorial. As long as my father-in-law reads this letter, you will understand everything."
Cao Huachun browed when he heard the word "memorial"! Judging from his years of experience in the palace, anything involving memorials will not be a small matter, especially those who take memorials to him are more likely to have big problems!
So Cao Huachun said calmly: "The memorial should be submitted according to the rules of the court. How can I get it from me? Give me the letter first."
Liu Dahai held the faith with both hands. The little eunuch reached out to take the letter and handed it to Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun took the letter and opened it when he saw that there was indeed no problem with the sealing. He slowly looked at it with the light.
Cao Huachun looked at the letter, and the more he looked, the more serious he looked. Because Liu Pei said in the letter that he had already known the news that Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became emperor, he was very angry! He was willing to eradicate this villain for Emperor Chongzhen!
But as a general, he had to consider tactical considerations. If a new emperor ascended the throne, his first priority was to establish his authority. He needed to shock the outside and stabilize the inside by establishing his authority. Therefore, the best way to establish his authority is war! But who will this war fight? Only the Ming Dynasty! In other words, the Qing army will invade shortly after Huang Taiji ascended the throne.
Cao Huachun didn't understand military affairs, but he was a political veteran. Of course he understood the correctness of Liu Pei's words! It turned out that Liu Pei would understand this when he was reminded by Liu Pei. Not to mention that the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the new official took office, there were three fires to burn! What's more, the king of a country ascended the throne! So there must be a relatively big war afterwards. So he immediately agreed with Liu Pei's statement.
And he looked down eagerly, wanting to see what Liu Pei said? As a result, he often found that Liu Pei had no special solution. On the one hand, he asked the border to be vigilant, and on the other hand, the capital should arrange some troops to enter Beijing in advance to protect the capital area. And Liu Pei himself signed up and said he was willing to enter Beijing in advance.
