Chapter 286: Did the Eighth Brother Die in Vain?

Wei Liangchen's details, when he left Beijing, Xiong Mingyu had been told that it was rumored that this young man was recommended to the emperor by Jin Zhong, the eunuch of the ceremony, and had a relationship with the Zheng family, so he was sent to Guanwai by the emperor as a member of the Wenhua Palace. Prior to this, this teenager was just a child in Hejian Mansion, and it was said that he was the head of the small case in Hejian Mansion, but he was not officially released.

A guy who doesn't even have a reputation for talent can be the housekeeper of the Huadian Palace, although this official position is only a miscellaneous product, but it is enough to make Xiong Mingyu, who has been honest for ten years of hard work, and once the title of the gold list was jealous. Jealousy is disdain and contempt, and looks down on it in the bones.

However, looking down on it is looking down on it, the character behind this miscellaneous boy is what Xiong Mingyu needs to face. Therefore, he was not sure whether Wei Liangchen's sudden proposal of the Kuandian Six Castles was at the behest of the palace.

Today's saints, although greedy for money, but also pay attention to side affairs, not to say how interested in expanding the territory, but also do not allow the existence of forces that do not obey the king in the Ming Dynasty. The battle to aid the dynasty was the responsibility of the suzerainty to the vassals, and the two battles of Ningxia and Banzhou were absolute internal pressure.

Therefore, Xiong Mingyu was worried about whether the emperor was really dissatisfied with Li Chengliang's abandonment of Liubao and what prejudice he had about Jianzhou, so he secretly instructed Wei Liangchen something. Otherwise, how dare he dare to move this thing out. You must know that the matter of Liubao involves not only Jianzhou, but also Li Chengliang.

Xiong Mingyu, who had no bottom in his heart, did not dare to express his position in a hurry, and after returning to his residence, he sent his entourage back to Shenyang with his handwritten letter to inform Li Chengliang of the matter.

The matter of Liubao is Li Chengliang's head and tail, and he Xiong Mingyu came to Jianzhou not to wipe Li Chengliang's ass. Moreover, Li Chengliang has always been untreated by the Tao, this person is extremely domineering, and the affairs of Liaodong are often cut first and then played, and the imperial court mostly endorses him, rather than doing it according to orders.

In recent years, rumors about Li Chengliang have been widely circulated, mostly pointing out that he used his privileges in Liaodong to arrange military allowances, horse prices, salt classes, and market rewards. In order to prevent the court from pursuing him, Li Chengliang used gold and silver as a stepping stone, sent people to bribe heavily in Beijing, and made friends with important members of the imperial court, so that he could sit firmly in Liaodong.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for local officials who were not treated by the department to continue to do it, and Li Chengliang did it for decades. The main reason is not that he bought off all the bigwigs of the imperial court, but because Liaodong is a remote area relative to Guannai, Li Chengliang, who served here, is far away from the center of power in Beijing, and Kedao is now controlled by the party, and he is only busy with party disputes every day, not only to prove that he is a gentleman, but also to attack others as traitors, and to unite to fight with the emperor from time to time, where can he take care of Li Chengliang in remote areas.

Even if Kedao noticed Li Chengliang's unbearable situation, who would want to let go of the noble officials and go to Liaodong to find trouble. Liaodong is a land of slaves and captives, and there are people who will die in battles at every turn, and the Qingliu people are all determined to be in the temple, which one is willing to do this thankless thing. What's even worse is that this place is really cold, so that the successive Liaodong Inspectors have a sad face when they take office, and they wish to go early and return early.

Under this general trend, Li Chengliang's position in Liaodong is really as stable as Mount Tai, and the new governor Xiong Tingbi not only took the wrong medicine, but also did not accept the money sent by Li Chengliang after taking office, and did not stay honestly in Guangning, and went around all over the place all day long, and then kept writing to impeach Li Chengliang, and even scolded his predecessor, which led to chaos in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As a result, it didn't work out, but offended the officials up and down Liaodong and even the colleagues of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now, Xiong Tingbi is wandering around in Yizhou, and he doesn't know what to do.

If it weren't for the party's affairs, involving the gains and losses of the future court struggle, Xiong Mingyu would not have come to Liaodong. Now that the matter of Liubao has been turned over by Wei Liangchen as a bargaining chip to blackmail Jianzhou, how to deal with it, and when Li Chengliang and Jianzhou have a headache, he Xiong will not wade into this troubled water.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, he didn't believe that Wei Liangchen's hands and feet were really clean. Take 10,000 steps back, as long as he Xiong Mingyu does not let go, it will be impossible for Taizhu Hong to be killed and Gao Huai to pay the money. If the border is restless, it is guilty.

Wei Liangchen didn't know that Xiong Mingyu sent someone back to Shenyang, and no one in Jianzhou answered him now, so he was idle, so he pulled Zheng Duo to ask about North Korea. While the two were talking, Nurhachi led the men to the dark cabin where Altuna was being held.

……..

After being captured in Heitumu, Altuna was ordered by Nurhachi to be sent to Heituara and locked up in a dark wooden house. The wooden house had no doors or windows, only a hole in the roof, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. All the food and drink are hung down by the guards from the hole above, and the convenience is also solved on the spot in the house.

Although Hetuala is the so-called capital of Jianzhou, it is actually similar to the Han towns in Guannai, or even worse. Except for the buildings such as the Great Yamen and the Baylor Mansion, which are slightly decent, the rest of the people live in wooden houses. The degree of sinicization of Jianzhou is high, but it still can't get rid of backwardness. Many Jianzhou people are free from their hands in their own houses, and then they will clean up in a centralized manner. The more particular thing is to dig a soil pit, on which a wooden board is padded, and some of the flagmen who have no family are even lazy to clean up, and it is also thanks to the fact that the weather in Heituala is relatively cold for most of the year, otherwise it will be a stinky city with the same climate as Guannai.

Accompanying Nurhachi to meet Altuna were Daishan and Mang Gurtai, and when the guards saw the Khan coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Daizen stepped forward and whispered a few words, then motioned for the guard to give him the key.

Nurhachi walked slowly to the front of the wooden house, and when Daishan stepped forward and was about to open the lock, he heard Altuna's shouting and scolding from inside the house: "Nurhachi, you frame your brother for your own selfish interests and occupy the property, you are not as good as a beast!" ......" scolding was mixed with the sound of broken bowls and the sound of "clanging" chains.

The scolding in the house made Nurhachi's face look ugly, and the guard whispered to Dai Shan that he had to scold several times a day in such a situation, and one scolding was half a pillar of incense.

"Alright, you go down first."

Dai Shan frowned, waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, and then unlocked the door and opened the door. When the light entered the room, Altuna was seen sitting on the ground with a long iron chain in tow, panting loudly.

"Altona, you thing, what are you yelling and swearing!" After Dai Shan entered the house, he smelled the stench in the air, and waved his hand in front of his nose in disgust.

Seeing this, Altuna actually laughed loudly: "Does the second brother think his brother stinks?" If you suspect it, my brother will give you a fart smell now. Haha..."

"Presumptuous, I'm here, you're still talking nonsense!" Daishan was furious and was about to kick Altuna a few times, but was stopped by Nurhachi.

"The matter between me and you Ama is not something that a junior like you can talk about." Nurhachi walked up to his nephew, his face as dark as before, but his tone still sounded a little kind.

"It's none of my junior's business, why did my uncle arrest me here and lock me up in this dark house!" Altuna did not get up, but sat there anyway.

Seeing this, Nurhachi knew that this nephew hated his uncle, so he shook his head and said coldly: "Your Ama is dead. ”

Hearing this, Altuna was stunned, and when he looked at Nurhachi again, his eyes were like fierce beasts, and he almost roared: "Nurhachi, you and I, Amanai, are brothers, why do you have to kill him!" ”

Nurhachi shook his head and said, "He forced it." ”

"Fart! You forced me Amma! … After destroying Hada, you are arbitrary, and you don't have my younger brother Amma in your eyes, and he is not even as good as those henchmen and generals under you! On weekdays, he led troops to fight, only gave a few hundred soldiers and horses, and if he was slightly dissatisfied, he reprimanded him. The generals under my Amma were even more difficult, and they were scolded if they were beaten. I, Amma, was heartbroken with you, so I moved to Heitumu, and I wanted to stop working with you, but you didn't let us go, and sent troops to kill Wu Erkun, and brought troops to attack... Uncle, my good uncle, your heart is too ruthless! … You want the lives of our father and son! Altuna was extremely indignant, "You can put Mengebulu of Hada and Buzhantai of Ullah back to your headquarters, but why can't you tolerate me Amma, and insist on putting me Amma to death!" … Amma, Amma, you died too unjustly, you were killed by your own brother! …”

Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were angry when they heard Altuna's words. Nurhachi was calm, and said coldly: "If you want to blame, you can only blame you Ama for having an outside heart and thinking about replacing me as the lord of Jianzhou." After speaking, he didn't want to look at this nephew again, turned around to look at Mang Gurtai, and said to him: "You have a good relationship with him since childhood, and you will send him this last journey." ”

Mang Gurtai was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly: "Yes, Amma." ”

"Are you going to kill me? Yes, I'm going to kill you, and what are you leaving me for? Will I be kept to avenge him in the future? Knowing that he was dying, Altona thought nothing more and struggled to get up from the ground.

After Nurhachi finished speaking, he lifted his feet and walked out of the wooden house, and Daishan patted Mang Gurtai on the shoulder and walked out. The smell in the house was really bad, and Erbeile couldn't stay still for a moment.

After his father and second brother left, Mang Gurtai ordered the guards to bring a pot of wine and a plate of pork.

"Eat, if you don't, you'll be a starving ghost. Besides, it's not that I, Amma, really want you to die, but I really can't help it. Do you know that the people of the Ming Dynasty want you from Amma? Mangultai pointed to the wine and meat on the ground, and told Altuna why he should die, so as not to be a fool.

"Ming Dynasty? Then I'm going to die. ”

Altuna was not afraid of death, he smiled, took the flask and drank it all, grabbed the pork and chewed it, and after a while, a pot of wine was in his stomach, shouting that it was not enough. Manggultai then asked for another pot to be brought to him, and when he had drunk it, Altuna was already drunk.

Mang Gurtai touched the dagger in his hand, looked at the stupid and whispering Altuna, hesitated for a moment, and finally slammed the dagger into his heart.

"Tell Amin that he will not die well in the future, and I will not let him go if I am a ghost!" Before his breathing stagnated, Altuna's eyes suddenly burst open, startling Manggultai.

After confirming that Altuna was dead, Mang Gurtai walked out of the house in some disdain and ordered the guards to bury the body. Not far away, his Ama and second brother were talking about something.

"Why didn't Ama kill the Weishe people, could it be that the death of the eighth brother was just that?" Dai Shan is very unwilling.
