Emperor Chongzhen was riding on a horse, looking down at Yuan Chonghuan, who was carrying a thorn stick on his back and kneeling on the ground to 'please forgive'. There was no joy or sorrow on his face.

At this time, except for the occasional sound of horses honking, there was no other sound at the central military camp gate.

The key personnel of the Military Aircraft Department, headed by Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua, and the generals who invited Yuan Chonghuan, headed by Zhou Yuji, Chen Jisheng, and Kong Youde, were Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, Zu Dashou, Zhao Lejiao, Wang Hong, and Zhang Keda

The generals in charge, including Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo, as well as the Jingwei Xunqi, all stood with different expressions and different thoughts in their hearts.

They have never encountered a situation like this before.

Yuan Chonghuan knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his hands, his head hung down, but his brows were slightly frowned and his eyes were rolling. It was obvious that Emperor Chongzhen's words were something he did not expect.

What did the emperor mean when he said this?

Does the emperor really want to punish me?

No one can control the Jianlu who bypassed the Liaoqian defense line and invaded the Ming Dynasty.

"I...never had such an idea."

Yuan Chonghuan, who endured all kinds of thoughts in his heart, said with a slightly trembling voice: "This time the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, I knew I was guilty, but..."

"Wang Banban, come and put my cloak on Yuan Qing."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was riding a horse, took off his cloak under the watchful eyes of everyone. Regardless of what Yuan Chonghuan said, he handed it to Wang Chengen and said: "The wind is strong, don't let Yuan Qing catch the cold... I am here today

You have a lot of skills, please discuss it with Yuan Qing."

"This slave accepts the order!"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was originally interrupted, felt a sense of surprise in his heart. He did not expect that the emperor would do this in public. It was clear that he did not want to accuse himself. But as Emperor Chongzhen said the rest of his words, Yuan Chonghuan rested his arms on the ground.

, suddenly softened, as if the whole person fell into an ice cellar.

The group of people standing behind Emperor Chongzhen looked at each other with different expressions. They thought that the emperor would not punish Yuan Chonghuan, but what the emperor said next was too difficult to understand.

"I have said before that if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished."

When Wang Cheng'en helped Yuan Chonghuan up, removed the thorn sticks on his back, and put the emperor's cloak on Yuan Chonghuan's body, Emperor Chongzhen said as he turned over and dismounted.

Under the gaze of everyone, he took off the embroidered spring knife he was carrying. Seeing this, Zhu Chunchen hurriedly bowed his head and stepped forward, reaching out to pick it up.

"Now the battle of the Jianlu invaders against our Ming Dynasty is over. They won and lost." Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Chunchen and handed the embroidered spring knife in his hand to Zhu Chunchen. "Winning is for me to fight against the rebellion and save the country."

The athletes of the imperial edict showed their own blood, their wealth and life, and shot them out with swords and swords.

The defeat was due to the fact that the feudal officials whom I relied on in the past told me and the imperial court about the five-year plan to pacify the Liao Dynasty, so that the Jianlu would not continue to wreak havoc, but something like this happened.

The soldiers of Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, Xifengkou, Zunhua, and Santun Camp, as well as a large number of innocent people, were all massacred by the ferocious Jianqi..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen spoke with neither joy nor sadness, as if he was telling a story, but the story was very long and very true, and everyone present could not help but think of it.

"Your Majesty~"

Zhang Shize carried a chair and placed it firmly behind Emperor Chongzhen. After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he bowed slightly and reminded him.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Shize, said nothing, patted the armor he was wearing, and then sat down, leaning on the chair with his right arm resting on the chair. He looked at the man wearing a cloak, his eyes slightly dull.

Yuan Chonghuan, who was standing there, also saw the slightly raised corners of Kong Youde's mouth.

"Sun Qing, are what I said correct?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who saw this scene, suddenly turned around, looked at the crowd behind him, saw Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhao Lediao and several others, and said, "Have I wronged Governor Yuan?"

"minister…"

Sun Chengzong, who was suddenly named by the emperor, felt nervous and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "There is no injustice."

Putting aside the political aspects, Yuan Chonghuan, as a governor and a frontier official of the Ming Dynasty, was in charge of the Ping Liao errands. If such a big thing happened, even the Jianqi invaded the house, there was no way he could be freed from his guilt.

But things are complicated at the political level.

If we really want to talk about it, Yuan Chonghuan went out to control Liaodong during the Tianqi Dynasty, and also won the brilliant achievements of the "Ningyuan Victory" and the "Ningjin Victory". As for whether they were real victories or false victories, it really depends on the beholder and the wise.

See wisdom.

Standing in the crowd were Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao, Zu Dashou, etc., these generals who had previously or currently served in Liaodong, all frowned, thought deeply, or hesitated.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was said like this in public, felt extremely complicated and panicked at the moment. He ran forward, knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and burst into tears: "I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have done it, it's all my fault.

, This has nothing to do with the other people who guarded me during the Ming and Liao Dynasties!"

pretty!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the chair, looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling at his feet, crying and crying, and couldn't help but chuckle, Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, you really know how to grasp people's hearts with this rake.

"Zhao Qing, Zu Qing, He Qing, you generals from Liaodong, have you heard this?"

Emperor Chongzhen ignored Yuan Chonghuan, turned around again, pointed at Yuan Chonghuan, and said to Zhao Lejiao, Zu Dashou, He Kegang and other generals: "What Yuan Qing means is that this time Jianlu invaded our Ming Dynasty, it is not

It’s his fault, and you are all at fault too.”

"His Majesty!!"

Yuan Chonghuan opened his eyes slightly and immediately exclaimed, while Zhao Zhijiao, Zu Dashou and other generals who were named by Emperor Chongzhen knelt on one knee one after another, wanting to say something.

Seeing this scene, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua, including others present, all felt sad in their hearts. The emperor's methods were too sophisticated.

Yuan Chonghuan put on the posture of pleading guilty, that is, he wanted to tell everyone that he was not so guilty of the invasion of the captives, and wanted to force the emperor to submit.

But in the face of such a situation, Emperor Chongzhen used his own way to cleverly resolve it again and again, and even gradually separated Yuan Chonghuan from the relationship with the generals in the Liao Dynasty.

What is the relationship behind the scenes? In this current situation, who dares to bring it up.

"As I said just now, I have a lot of time today, so I came to have a good discussion with Yuan Qing."

Looking at Zhao Shujiao and others who were kneeling on one knee, Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "I don't understand in my heart. The imperial court has given so much money, so what is needed will be given to you.

They even eliminated troops and reduced pay for the land of Ji Mi Yong San Xie to support Yuan Qing's deployment before the Liao Dynasty to complete the good strategy of "pacifying the Liao Dynasty in five years" proposed by Yuan Qing.

In the memorial submitted by Yuan Qing earlier, how did he assure me and the court that the Jimiyong Sanxie's reduction of troops and pay reduction would never affect the safety of the capital, but what was the result?

Yuan Chonghuan! Come and explain it to me."

Yuan Chonghuan, the high-ranking official in the border area, must be taken down. Even if he breaks the law today, he will not be able to escape. The things he did are just the face of a politician. He wasted Ming Dynasty’s precious finances on him, a politician. That is undoubtedly
