Chapter 1039: The Fate of the Traitor (1)

Hauge took Tan Tai to Fan Wencheng's mansion.

The matters discussed by the Chongzheng Palace are absolutely confidential, and no one will leak out, and the unity of the Manchurian nobles is still enviable, and this is probably also because of the tempering of the long-term war, everyone knows what it means to leak the news, so it is impossible to spread the matter of disposing of Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji finally decided, give Fan Wencheng to commit suicide, and don't do anything to behead the public, after all, Fan Wencheng has made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty, from this point of view, the beheading of the public seems too cruel, plus Fan Wencheng will die for what will, Huang Taiji and Haoge are very clear.

When Haoge and Tan Tai came to the gate, Fan Wencheng had already received the news and knelt down in front of the mansion to greet them.

Haoge came with the palace guards, that kind of momentum, those who see it can understand, Fan Wencheng, who is full of hope, saw such a formation, and instinctively felt that it was wrong, but unfortunately it was too late.

The guards quickly divided into two groups, one group controlled Fan Wencheng to avoid Fan Wencheng from yelling, and the other group entered the mansion and gathered Fan Wencheng's family members in one place.

The people around have noticed it, and they didn't expect that the majestic Fan Wencheng would also encounter such a thing, and there were many onlookers for a while, and Haoge did not disperse the onlookers, he just needed everyone to leak the news, which was more effective than the propaganda of the imperial court.

Hauge entered the study, he had been here many times, and some confidential matters were discussed here, touching the scene, seeing that there was no change in the mercy of the study, Hauge sighed slightly. He finally understood what Fan Wencheng had said, the more secrets you know, the greater the danger, and one day, you will inevitably enter the grave with the secret.

Hauge also wanted to save face for Fan Wencheng, after reading the holy decree in the welcome living room of the mansion. Let the guards take Fan Wencheng to the study, and let Fan Wencheng drink poisoned wine here, but before that, he has to talk to Fan Wencheng.

Haoge knows very well that Fan Wencheng is actually not much of a threat and will never rebel, but unfortunately Fan Wencheng has committed a lot of taboos, and there are too many things to know. There is no chance of survival.

Fan Wencheng's help to Haoge is very great, Haoge can become the emperor Taiji, and can have today's concentration and comprehensive understanding, which is all due to Fan Wencheng, Haoge also knows this, but unfortunately politics is so cruel.

Fan Wencheng was brought into the study, and Hauge motioned for everyone to go out, including Tan Tai. In the previous search, Tan Tai had obtained all the information. The composition of the intelligence network was basically grasped, and the relevant handover work was barely completed.

Only Hauge and Fan Wencheng were left in the study.

Fan Wencheng's face was defeated, his life was destined to be the life of a traitor, Fan Wencheng was originally a student in Shenyang County. During the Wanli period, he took refuge in Nurhachi, and it has been more than 20 years now, Fan Wencheng is conscientious, not only in strategy. And also participated in the expedition, among the Han people who took refuge in Houjin, the three most famous were Ning Wan I, Ma Guozhu and Fan Wencheng, after all these years of struggle, Fan Wencheng's status has long surpassed the other two, so far, Ning Wan and Ma Guozhu are still doing things in the museum, there is no prominent official position, and Ning Wan I have been removed from all positions because I like to gamble.

Subconsciously, Fan Wencheng knew that the day of Lu Dao would come sooner or later, he made a big taboo and participated in the royal affairs, which has a profound lesson, you must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the courtiers participated in the royal affairs, and it was generally difficult to die well, not to mention that in the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were the slaves of the Manchurians, and the slaves were mixed with the master's family affairs, how could there be a good result.

After so many years of hard work, in the end it was such an ending, Fan Wencheng couldn't accept it, but he had to accept it.

After entering the study, Fan Wencheng did not kneel, there is no need for people who are dying to kneel.

Hauge looked at Fan Wencheng and slowly spoke.

"Fan Wencheng, my father specially entrusted me to talk to you, if you have any thoughts, what you think, you can say it, you have been loyal to the Qing Kingdom for so many years, as long as it is a reasonable request, my father and I will find a way to meet it, you can rest assured, my father has specially ordered to treat your family well."

Fan Wencheng's face has no expression, the so-called kindness to his family is just a word of comfort, in fact, it is impossible to do, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's family members are the best proof of this, if Fan Wencheng didn't find a way to take care of him, maybe he wouldn't be able to eat, Kong Youde and the other three people, who were considered to have sacrificed their lives for the Qing Dynasty, were ignored, and Fan Wencheng, who committed suicide as a sinner, was in a miserable situation.

Seeing that Fan Wencheng didn't react, Haoge was faintly unhappy, and his guilt was much lighter.

"Fan Wencheng, if you have nothing to say, then I'll leave."

Fan Wencheng finally reacted, that is, his eyes moved.

Haoge was familiar with Fan Wencheng's action, and knew that Fan Wencheng was about to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, people are about to die, their words are also good, I was regarded as a traitor by the Ming court, today I deserve it, pity me in this life, I am a sinner of the Qing Dynasty, a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, I have died without a place to be buried, I have lived for more than 40 years, and I have reached such a situation, it can be described as God's retribution, but I also have something to say to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Haoge looked at Fan Wencheng and did not speak.

"The emperor's weight on me should have made me more cautious, but unfortunately the encounter between Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi made me see the danger, and my mind changed, if there were no such things, maybe I would still do things well in the Wenguan, I don't want to say anything, I want to talk about the future of the Great Qing Kingdom, that is the prediction that I have been thinking about and meditating during this time."

Fan Wencheng talked about Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, Haoge frowned slightly, these two people were used by the Great Qing Kingdom to exchange for goodness, in fact, it was the shame of the Great Qing Kingdom, because of this incident, many Han people in the Great Qing Kingdom were disheartened, and even some Han people secretly went to the Ming Dynasty to take refuge.

"Prince Yu died, I am also very sad, this is a major mistake, this time the mistake, I should be responsible, so many years, I lost so badly for the first time, completely defeated by Su Tiancheng, was used by Su Tiancheng, has done intelligence work for so many years, I don't have the basic judgment, what I think of is meritorious service, and it makes no sense to be undefeated."

"I am not qualified to make suggestions, but I know that the loss of Gaizhou and the death of more than 30,000 soldiers will be a disaster for the Qing Dynasty, and from then on, the Qing Kingdom will be exhausted and slowly decline, as for the goal of occupying the Central Plains and unifying the world, it can only be a dream."

When Fan Wencheng said these words, Hauge was a little angry.

"Fan Wencheng, what nonsense are you talking about, do you really think that you are so important, if you leave you, my Great Qing Kingdom will suffer."

Fan Wencheng was unmoved and continued.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't mean this, the establishment of the Great Qing Kingdom, so many victories, inseparable from the Han people, the Great Qing Kingdom is only hundreds of thousands of Manchus, looking at the Central Plains, less than one percent of the Han people, if you completely rely on these Manchus, to be able to seize the Central Plains, it is just a fool's dream, the emperor understands this truth, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not necessarily understand that if you want the Han people of the Great Qing Kingdom to be truly loyal, it needs to be attentive, not blindly used."

Haoge's face turned a little pale, he originally wanted to have a good talk with Fan Wencheng, thank Fan Wencheng for his help over the years, but he didn't expect Fan Wencheng to be so heartbroken and mad that he would curse the Qing Kingdom.

"Fan Wencheng, don't say these nonsense words, I just want to tell you that we are full of grievances, over the years, I am still very grateful for your help to me, as for the future of my Great Qing Kingdom, you don't need to worry about it, no matter what you say, it will not work, okay, the time is up."

After Hauge finished speaking, he turned and left the study, and soon two more guards came in, one of them was carrying a plate, and in the plate was a flask and a wine glass, the guard picked up the flask, poured out a glass of wine, and a stream of foam gushed out of the glass, and a pungent smell appeared in the study.

Fan Wencheng finally burst into tears, and he muttered to himself.

"Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng, what fame and fortune, what glory and wealth, in the end it is all empty, I made that choice at the beginning, today is the end, ridiculous, ridiculous, death is coming, I still can't change my nature, what else do I want to say, what does the Qing Kingdom have to do with me, I am a Han, I am a member of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately I can't enter the ancestral hall after I die......"

Fan Wencheng slowly walked to the table, picked up the wine glass, closed his eyes, and drank it in one gulp.

The onset of poisoned alcohol is very fast, burning the throat, corroding the spleen and stomach, and the taste is quite unpleasant.

Fan Wencheng tried hard to stay reserved, he was a scholar, but the huge pain was unbearable, and it was only a few minutes after drinking the poisoned wine, Fan Wencheng desperately stuck his throat with both hands, as if he wanted to tear his throat, blood began to appear at the corner of his mouth, but this blood had some peculiar smell.

Slowly, Fan Wencheng collapsed, and his body began to twitch.

The two guards who were watching may have seen too much of this kind of thing, there was no expression on their faces, and they didn't even look at Fan Wencheng who was twitching on the ground, and the palace guards were all soldiers drawn from the Shangsanqi, all of them were full of people, and they had never looked at the Han people squarely.

A quarter of an hour later, Haoge and Tan Tai and others entered the study, looking at Fan Wencheng who had lost his breath on the ground, Haoge showed a look of disgust on his face, he would never have thought that what Fan Wencheng said would be fulfilled in a short period of time, Fan Wencheng's suicide made the vast majority of Han people see the situation clearly, and since then, few Han people are willing to serve the Qing Dynasty.
