Chapter 276: Yuan Chonghuan's face
Zhang Jingyi is not stupid.
Of course, Huang Taiji was captured and given to Emperor Tianqi.
A small matter.
But if you give this credit, of course, you have to talk every year, month, and day by day.
This is not a loss.
What's wrong with giving the emperor a great contribution for free?
You know, free ones are the most expensive.
Emperor Aoki has also begun to doubt his life.
Zhang Jingyi repeatedly emphasized in front of him that he had a contribution to catching Huang Taiji, and he had already said that his ears had been called out.
So much so that Emperor Aoki's memory began to gradually deviate.
Who caught Huang Taiji?
Did Zhang Jing pull Huang Taiji first, or did I put the knife under Huang Taiji's neck first?
At this moment... I felt a little confused.
But at this time, he cheered up and decided to appease the great hero first: "Okay, okay, of course I know that you have made a lot of contributions, don't be too verbally speaking. Come on, sit down and we will discuss major issues."
Zhang Jing nodded: "Yes."
Emperor Tianqi said: "Now that Huang Taiji is captured, will the Jiannu people be in chaos?"
Zhang Jing thought about it and said, "According to the Eight Banners system, as long as Huang Taiji is taken, they will immediately elect a new banner master as Khan. After all, Huang Taiji's prestige may not be the highest among the Nurhaci's sects. It is impossible to capture Huang Taiji at this time and cause the Eight Banners to be divided. Because they have formed a mechanism to gradually erode the territory of the Ming Dynasty and make profits. As long as this mechanism is still there, if the Liaodong of our Ming Dynasty is still decayed, it will still be like Huang Taiji said. The Jiannu people do not need to attack the city and can sweep the Ming army town! Then even if the Jiannu people lose Huang Taiji, there will be Li Taiji and Zhao Taiji."
Emperor Aoki nodded, expressed his approval, and then said with regret: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Zhang Jingyi said: "It's not a pity. In fact, for the Ming Dynasty, everything is a problem of scabies. My Ming Dynasty has millions of people and a territory of thousands of miles. No matter what Tatars or Jiannu are, if the Ming Dynasty is in harmony, why should they shake it? This Jiannu was just a small chief under the Ming Dynasty, but... How could Nurhaci grow stronger? Don't you tell me, your Majesty still know? Since the Chenghua period, the Ming Dynasty's military horses in Liaodong have been constantly plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves, and each time they have won a huge victory. But every time they plowed the courtyard and sweeping the caves, the end of which was countless Liaodong military officers used this to rise to the top and received a lot of rewards."
"I think... the root cause is to raise the enemy and respect the enemy. Secondly, the interests of the martial artists here are complicated. If these are not cut off, the court's government orders are not clear, and they take a lot of money to reward and reward these military officers every year, but what they get is Jiannu growing again and again. Your Majesty, although I have no talent, I can see... Sooner or later, Jiannu is still a big trouble. But this big trouble is not how fierce the Jiannu people are. They are only 100,000 households, and their population is less than 100,000. After all, the root cause is still in the court, in Liaodong, not in Jiannu."
When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he stood up subconsciously, with a deep thoughtful look on his face, but his face became more and more serious.
In fact, if Zhang Jingyi didn't say it, he would understand it.
The question is...whether he, as an emperor, dares to cut off his arm.
After Emperor Tianqi stood up, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and finally said, "When Huang Taiji was captured by me, he still dared to be stubborn. Why, don't you just think he is better than me? Ha... If I continue to tolerate it, even if there is no Jiannu, there will be Tatars and Japanese troubles. These old evils will sooner or later become rotten in Liaodong.
After saying that, Emperor Tianqi sat down again, with a gloomy face and continued: "Everyone knows that I am concerned about my old feelings and do not want to make things difficult for them, so some people become more and more ignorant of the world. But if they deceive me like this, haha..."
He then said, "The generals from Ningyuan... are here soon."
"It should be coming soon." Zhang Jing said.
Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Very good, go and give orders now, let the students cheer up and keep them on guard. All soldiers from Ningyuan are not allowed to enter the military town."
"Yes." Zhang Jing responded, but still sat upright.
Emperor Tianqi looked straight at Zhang Jingyi and couldn't help but say curiously: "Why, why don't you make arrangements?"
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it. I still want the merit of capturing Huang Taiji alive."
Emperor Tianqi glared at him: "Don't mention the capture of Huang Taiji alive."
Zhang Jingyi felt that the effect was achieved and finally left with satisfaction.
...
When the vast Guanning Army arrived at the Yizhou Military Town, they saw that the Ming flags were still hanging in the military town.
Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui both breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly brought the generals into the city.
There are students everywhere in this military town, each of whom is alert, but... there is no sign of siege.
Could it be...is the information really wrong?
This is good, as long as the emperor is still alive, it will be easy to do.
Although the two exposed each other, they were now grasshoppers on the same line. They quickly invited someone to report, hoping to meet the emperor.
Then he led all the generals to kneel outside.
But... the news was sent inside, but it was like a rock sinking into the sea.
Everyone had to continue kneeling.
This journey was originally a mess, but now I can't get a rest and I have to kneel here for a long time, which made Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui feel a little uneasy.
The other military generals also whispered.
Man Gui knelt beside Yuan Chonghuan and whispered: "Duke Yuan, look... why didn't Your Majesty see you?"
Yuan Chonghuan said: "I think... I hope I can wait for me to show off my strength."
Man Gui frowned and said, "I have been thinking about it. Apart from impeachment by you and me, there is no crime. Even if Ning Yuan's actions are on fire, it is still an agitation from the criminal Zhang Jing. What does it have to do with us?"
Yuan Chonghuan looked sideways, glanced at Man Gui, and said calmly: "If you bite this to death... it will be done. We are innocent, so naturally there is no need to worry. Your Majesty is a child, and after the trouble, it will pass."
Mangui nodded and said, "I'm afraid that Zhang Jingyi will slander him in front of His Majesty."
The two of them had no good impression of Zhang Jingyi.
On the one hand, I heard about this person when I was communicating with some noble people in the capital earlier. Obviously, everyone has nothing to say about Zhang Jingyi.
On the other hand, they have already predicted that the fire has something to do with Zhang Jingyi, and this matter has caused a lot of harm to everyone!
"Mr. Yuan, I understand."
He knelt until the sky was dim and the civil and military ministers could no longer bear it. Then he saw a man wearing a kirin suit slowly paced, pressing his knife, and saying, "Your Majesty, please come in and talk."
Yuan Chonghuan looked up at the man. He had a little impression of Zhang Jingyi in Ningyuan before, so he stood up in a normal manner and nodded to Zhang Jingyi, saying hello.
Zhang Jingyi also nodded at him.
As for Man Gui, he followed Yuan Chonghuan into the journey with the rebellious military man.
The so-called "moving" is actually the camp of Donglin Military Academy.
Zhang Jingyi felt that it was not safe for Emperor Tianqi to live anywhere. Only in this camp in Donglin Academy made him feel more at ease.
Yuan Chonghuan and others passed through the gate, passed through the numerous alerts, and finally arrived at the central army's tent.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tianqi was sitting cross-legged on the warm-collapse in this big tent, wearing a warm-collapse hat. This warm-collapse hat was very annoying at first glance...
Yuan Chonghuan and others knelt on the carpet again and said in unison: "I am late to save the car, and I will die."
Emperor Tianqi took a sip of tea and said, "Since you know you have died, come and tell me, what are your sins? I said one by one, Yuan Chonghuan, come first."
He just said that death was just a ritual. Although Emperor Tianqi beat a snake and followed the stick, Yuan Chonghuan felt funny in his heart.
After all, he is different from rough people like Man Gui. He is a Jinshi, has been a local official, and has served in the Ministry of War. Now he is the governor of Liaodong and the right deputy censor of the Censorate, so he is naturally not completely unable to deal with it.
"I have something to report."
He put aside the topic of the Emperor Tianqi, but said directly: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty was originally in Ningyuan, why did he suddenly come to Yizhou Guard?"
I thought this sentence would lead to the question of Emperor Aoki.
Emperor Tianqi said, "I think there are people in Ningyuan who harm me. After thinking about it, I will come to this Yizhou Guard to be safer."
After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan felt funny again.
Sure enough...it's a child.
The generals were speechless for a moment and looked at each other in front of each other.
What this said... is so heartbroken. Isn't this clearly telling the generals of Liaodong that the emperor can't believe you?
Even if the emperor really can't believe it, how can he say it directly at this time?
Yuan Chonghuan said again: "Your Majesty's words are really heartbroken. I am working hard for Your Majesty and diligent in the king's affairs. The weather in Liaodong is cold and the civil and military ministers are stationed here to guard against Jiannu. They are all loyal and loyal. Where can you trust them? Your Majesty's words... aren't you so sad about your Majesty's words? How do you face this? "
This is a very heavy weight.
We are loyal and we will work hard even if we have no credit.
But His Majesty said he could not believe it, how could the soldiers fight?
The emperor has always said that he could not trust the soldiers of civil and military ministers, so how could he lead the soldiers?
Yuan Chonghuan immediately took off the black hat on his head and placed it on the carpet. Then he said respectfully: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then I... would like to resign... and return home."
Man Gui and others suddenly realized something.
So they took off their helmets from their heads, put them on the carpet, and bowed and said, "I am willing to take off my armor and return to the field, so I dare not make Your Majesty worry."
This time, I will give Emperor Tianqi a warning. Your Majesty, please do it yourself. We will stop doing it. Let’s take care of yourself. Let’s see who will control these arrogant soldiers and generals from Liaodong.
Chapter completed!
