Chapter 512: The Emperor Calms His Anger
Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan also had nothing to say, after all, the general who defended the city was also his duty, if it was his own soldiers, then he would have to praise him!
So Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to bow his body and get into the basket, the dignified Jiliao Governor, he actually entered the city like this, it can really be described as extremely embarrassing!
The eunuch who passed the decree also followed into the basket next to him, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Our family is a villain today, and finally there is an errand to pass the decree, and it is really a joke to say it in such a situation!" ”
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan finally understood why when the eunuch arrived at his military camp, it was a dead man who others owed him money.
So Yuan Chonghuan also smiled apologetically at the eunuch, which was regarded as an apology for him!
On the head of the city, the general who guarded the city hurriedly hugged his fists to Yuan Chonghuan and the eunuch who passed the decree, and said: "The wronged angel and the overseer, the last general is here to make amends for your sins!" ”
The eunuch flicked his sleeves, but he didn't bother to take care of him, and walked directly to the city.
Yuan Chonghuan also returned the favor with great grace, and said: "That's it, it's all a heavy burden on your shoulders, and you are not wrong, it should be the governor who makes amends to you!" ”
"The last general doesn't dare, the overseer has tormented the last general!"
followed the eunuch all the way into the palace, and soon arrived at the platform, Yuan Chonghuan looked here, and his heart was infinitely emotional, the last time Emperor Chongzhen summoned himself here, Xin won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and he not only became the secretary of the military department, but also presided over Ji Liao, which can really be described as a high power, one step to the sky!
But it was different from the last time he came, this time Yuan Chonghuan felt extremely ashamed, and made a guarantee to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that it was five years of Pingliao, but who would have thought that two years had passed, and he had not recovered an inch of land, and let him Huang Taiji hit the city of Jingshi, how could he not be ashamed!
"Xuan Yuan Chonghuan is here!"
A eunuch shouted.
Yuan Chonghuan finally tidied up his appearance, then lowered his head slightly and walked in slowly.
At this time, I saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair looking at Yuan Chonghuan with blazing eyes, and the two rows on the left and right below were full of officials, all of whom also had solemn expressions, and their eyes were all staring at Yuan Chonghuan without exception.
Yuan Chonghuan bowed three times and knocked nine times, and said: "Minister Yuan Chonghuan pays a visit to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's voice fell, the entire hall was silent.
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't ask Yuan Chonghuan to get up, he just looked at Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling there, this courtier he once trusted extremely much!
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't let himself get up for a long time, Yuan Chonghuan's heart was even more frightened, he was already feeling empty, and now he was treated like this, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in Yuan Chonghuan's heart!
The young Emperor Chongzhen already had a trace of white hair on the back of his head at this time, he was only nineteen years old, but he had to shoulder the burden of the entire Ming Empire, and every time it was late at night, he always felt lonely!
Seeing that there are more and more things in the Ming Empire, more and more complicated, he always envies his imperial brother in his heart, why does the imperial brother ignore the government and politics all day long, greedy for fun, and state affairs are okay!
But he is so diligent in government, never dare to have the slightest slack, let alone have fun, but why this state affairs are not as good as a day, every time I think of this, Emperor Chongzhen is always heartbroken, for fear that the Ming Dynasty will be corrupted in his own hands, if so, to the underground, how to see the ancestors and ancestors!
Emperor Chongzhen clenched the fist in his hand tightly, looked at Yuan Chonghuan sharply, and said coldly: "Aiqing is exempt!" ”
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's tone, Yuan Chonghuan was even more flustered, stood up and didn't dare to look at Emperor Chongzhen, just lowered his head there, and didn't dare to speak!
When Emperor Chongzhen saw him like this, he immediately said: "Yuan Chonghuan, I ask you, why did you kill Mao Wenlong?" Before the fall of Zunhua, Zhao Shujiao had already rushed to Zunhua, he could arrive, why can't you? The Tatar slaves ravaged our Gyeonggi stronglands and killed hundreds of thousands of my people, why don't you fight the Tatars in search of opportunities? Without my will, why did you garrison the city of Beijing? ”
The officials present also looked at Yuan Chonghuan one by one, all of them wanted to listen to what he had to say! This time, the Tatar slaves ravaged the Gyeonggi region, and countless money and grain were lost, and even more serious were the destruction of many states and counties! How many civilians have been innocently killed!
And all this happened to him Yuan Chonghuan's eyelids were low, if Yuan Chonghuan had no soldiers and no generals in his hands, it would be no way, but now he has no shortage of elite soldiers and strong generals in his hands, why didn't he start a war with the Tartar slaves!
If he Yuan Chonghuan can't come up with a convincing statement today, that is, the emperor wants to let him go, and we, the ministers, can't let him go!
Besides, Yuan Chonghuan was suddenly asked by Emperor Chongzhen's series of questions! So many questions, how do you tell me to answer them at once!
Not only did this series of problems make Yuan Chonghuan feel a sharp increase in pressure, but more importantly, he felt that Emperor Chongzhen no longer trusted him, which made him very frightened, and his heart was pounding!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Why don't you speak?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly replied: "Please forgive the emperor, the emperor's questions are really too involved, and the ministers can't answer them one by one for a while!" ”
Hearing only the sound of "snap", Emperor Chongzhen slapped it on the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and said angrily: "When did my question degenerate to the point where you can bargain!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "The minister should die, please calm the emperor's anger!" ”
The ministers also said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Please calm the emperor's anger!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen stood up suddenly, and shouted to Yuan Chonghuan again: "Yuan Chonghuan, you still don't answer me quickly!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan paused, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was already angry, and today he had to make a reasonable explanation to Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise, not only would the strategy he had already set not be implemented, but more importantly, Huang Taiji's troops would be unstoppable, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan said: "Back to the emperor, the minister killed Mao Wenlong just because he was meritorious and too arrogant!" As the governor of Jiliao, the minister has an overview of Jiliao affairs, but every time the minister makes deployments, Mao Wenlong always pushes back and obstructs, so that the power of Liaodong cannot be unified, and the minister cannot effectively issue orders!
Now, the Tatar slave army is in full swing, and it is because of Mao Wenlong that the minister's deployment to contain the Tatar slave action always ends in failure, and the minister kills him, which is really a last resort! ”
