Chapter 462: Who's the Spy?
"Moving the capital? Never, never, never! The reason why my Ming Northern Xinjiang has been able to protect its territory and protect the people under the iron hooves of the Tatars for many years is because the Beijing Division is located in the center of Northern Xinjiang, so there are not many tragedies of the stories of the previous dynasties! ”
It was Fan Fucui who spoke, and Fan Fucui was different from several other cabinet ministers, Geng Jie, who was famous in the cabinet and was known for his outspokenness, and it was not surprising that he could clearly oppose the relocation of the capital at this time.
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would say his inner activities under excitement, and he was embarrassed for a while. But you can't deny it outright, because after all, this is from his mouth, if you repeat it repeatedly, wouldn't it be disgraceful, and you have to pinch your nose and admit the idea of moving the capital.
In fact, not only Fan Fucui opposed the relocation of the capital, but even Zhang Sizhi, Xue Guoguan and others did not disagree with the relocation of the capital in their hearts. At least it is impossible for them to publicly express their support for moving the capital, otherwise this infamy through the ages goes without saying, if the relocation of the capital is not completed after a while, the people who advocate moving the capital will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Even if the relocation of the capital is successful, if you turn over the old accounts in the future, you will also become the target of the black pot.
Therefore, no matter who the courtiers proposed to move the capital, it would not be beneficial for them to have both long-term and immediate plans. Of course, the opposition is also reasonable, not to mention that the more fierce the opposition, the more you can win a reputation as a minister in the court.
Several cabinet ministers persuaded Zhu Youzhen three times and twice to dispel the idea of moving the capital, and even took out the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty to suppress him.
Zhu Youzhen was so annoyed that he had nowhere to vent, he was obviously just thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't expect to say it carelessly, and suddenly caused this trouble.
"Let you come, not against me, accuse me!" Zhu Youzhen was furious, and stretched out his hand to point at the ministers under Danqi.
"Look at you one by one, except to say that this is not good, that is not good, can't you put forward a feasible opinion? Moving the capital is just a momentary gaffe, and you will hold on to it endlessly. I asked you to come up with ideas to solve the crisis in Shanhaiguan, why didn't there be any movement? What's the use of me raising you corpses who are so dignified and dignified that you profess to be loyal ministers? ”
The more Zhu Youzhen scolded, the more angry he became, so much so that he couldn't hold back his mouth and scolded the ministers under Danqi for a bloody head.
The old man Zhang Sizhi couldn't hang up at first, he trembled all over, shouting that he couldn't bear the emperor's scolding, and cried bitterly on the ground, saying that he wanted to beg the bones to return to his hometown. This made Zhu Youzhen even more angry, was he wrong? He used to condone Zhang Sizhi for the sake of his own teacher, and in order to set an example of ruling the world with filial piety, he turned a blind eye to his various deeds to prevent being slapped in the face. It's good now, I just said a few heavy words, and I actually want to be angry.
Zhu Youzhen didn't speak with a gloomy face, and sat quietly on the dragon chair to secretly luck, but this also made him regain his senses, and looked at Zhang Sizhi who was crying and wiping tears with disgust, and his heart was irritable.
"Let's talk about it, how to solve the crisis in Shanhaiguan? I can't say why, no one wants to go home, when I have an idea, when it's over! ”
"Shengshang, the minister recommended Li Xin, the general of Shanxi Town, to clean up the Shanhaiguan mess!"
Zhu Youzhen does not doubt Li Xin's ability, but now the court does not know his whereabouts, even if the decree goes down, when Li Xin receives the decree, will he still have time to break the siege?
This point was also suspected by Zhu Youzhen, but Xue Guoguan seemed to have been prepared, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, the minister already has news of Li Xin, and he is in Jinzhou at the moment!" As long as you send people to risk crossing the blockade of the Eastern Prisoners, I believe that Li Xin will not disappoint the saints! ”
After hearing this, Zhu Youzhen was really overjoyed, this was undoubtedly a big surprise for him, a big surprise. Li Xin is actually already on the battlefield in western Liaoning, so it is not certain who will kill the deer in Shanhaiguan.
"The minister's family has returned from outside the Guan, and he has brought back an even more shocking rumor!"
Zhu Youzhen leaned over and asked, "Rumors? What rumors? ”
"Slave Chief Emperor Taiji is dead!"
Before the words landed, an exclamation sounded in the hall, how is it? Huang Taiji is dead? That is a once-in-a-lifetime good news, the Dongyu group of dragons has no leader, and the offensive against Shanhaiguan will definitely not last. In other words, the battle of Shanhaiguan already has the eyebrows of victory.
"But this is just a rumor, and the minister doesn't dare to guarantee whether the news of the death of the slave chief is true, but the rumor is very evil!"
Zhu Youzhen suppressed the surprise in his heart and brought the topic back to Li Xin.
"Can Li Xin's news in Jinzhou be confirmed?"
Xue Guoguan stroked his beard and said with certainty: "At least the nine cities are sure!" ”
"Ninety percent?"
Zhang Sizhi, who was lying on the ground, had also gotten up, and when he heard that Xue Guoguan knew the news of Li Xin, his face was already a little unbearable. This time, Zhang Sizhi's face was extremely ugly, but there was no way to get it back, so he had to bear it alive.
Everyone understands that Xue Guoguan said that having a ninety percent certainty means that Li Xin is 100 percent in Jinzhou, but it is just out of prudence, and even if he is 100% sure, he will not say anything about it.
"Great, great, let Li Xin raise troops to Shanhaiguan to flank the Qing army, give, relieve the siege of Sun Gelao!"
Zhang Sizhi immediately cheered up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"The saint is wise, and the minister seconds the proposal!"
Immediately after that, others also seconded, and Xue Guoguan wanted to argue a few words, but saw the emperor waving his hand tiredly, signaling Wang Chengen to send his important ministers away.
Xue Guoguan had no choice but to leave with the important ministers who came out of the palace, but he scolded Zhang Sizhi in his heart, this old fox is playing tricks again, Da Ming has this kind of practical thing to do, and he is intrigued all day long, can he still be good? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and so did the emperor, even if he wanted to show filial piety, he couldn't condone such a chaotic thing, which was more important, couldn't he see it?
It's just that he only dares to think about this kind of thing in his heart, otherwise even if he kills him, he won't want to say it, let alone give advice to the emperor who is not very broad-minded.
The decree was written by Zhang Sizhi, a cabinet scholar, and was sent out on the same day, and the war really did not burn to the Ming Jingshi, and the Qing army really made an article on Shanhaiguan after attacking the mouth of the righteous courtyard, and did not rush to attack Gyeonggi in the south.
……
Sakha Ling captured the mouth of Yiyuan in one go, and immediately poured into the pass, cutting off the back road of Shanhaiguan, and looting a lot of grain and goods sent to Shanhaiguan along the way, and the communication between Shanhaiguan and Jingshi was cut off. For a time, there was a lot of noise in Shanhaiguan, and Liu Yuliang, who was originally a good and wandering man, was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was sad.
Liu Yuliang began to think that Sun Chengzong came to Shanhaiguan to sit in town, and Shanhaiguan would definitely be as stable as a rock, but who knew that he would lose the mouth of Yiyuan in the blink of an eye, and the shape was more sinister than any previous day. Now that the transportation inside and outside Shanhaiguan is cut off, and food supplies cannot be brought in, the people in the city are panicking, and his heart is also raised.
What worries Liu Yuliang even more is that once there is a stir, will the spies in the city be ready to move again? In case of joining forces with the Tartars outside the city and offering Shanhaiguan, it will really be the end of the world.
It's just that although he has the title of a cabinet scholar, he has no role in this Shanhaiguan City, and the military power is in the hands of Zu Dashou. Although this ancestor is as obedient as a child in front of Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong is a paralyzed person after all, and whether he can control this person as before, Liu Yuliang is deeply skeptical.
Liu Yuliang remembered the last time he went to Sun Chengzong to discuss the matter of spies, and he has been thinking about it, originally Sun Chengzong should attach great importance to this kind of matter. But after listening to the information he provided, he turned a blind eye, and strictly ordered everyone not to mention the matter again.
As for that Zu Dashou, after Sun Chengzong came to Shanhaiguan, he became more and more arrogant, he used to be polite to Liu Yuliang on the surface, but now with Sun Chengzong's support, he doesn't even pretend to be like anymore, and he broke up unhappily after meeting several times. Thinking of this, Liu Yuliang hated the root of his teeth.
This makes Liu Yuliang more and more sure that Zu Dashou must have a ghost, if one day Shanhaiguan was consecrated to Tartar by a spy inside and outside, then this person is eighty percent likely to be Zu Dashou. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and finally felt that it was not a solution to just sit back like now, and it was better to do something to save himself.
Monitoring Zu Dashou has already suffered a loss, Liu Yuliang does not dare to send his family to monitor again, but it is not difficult to monitor the two deputy generals under Zu Dashou, if he wants to make a move, he will definitely not be able to bypass his two lieutenants. Zu Dashou is cunning and cunning, and his lieutenant should be much easier to deal with.
In this way, Liu Yuliang is still not at ease, the possibility of the fall of Shanhaiguan is very high, and he must be prepared for many hands. First of all, he asked the old housekeeper Liu Fu to buy off the pawn of the first door in the middle of the night, and if there was something, he could make it convenient for him. Then, he prepared the ordinary clothes of the common people, and wrapped some soft ones, just waiting for the last resort, which could be used on the road when fleeing.
Who knows, God didn't give Liu Yuliang a chance to use these things, and in just one day, all the family members sent out to monitor the two deputy generals were arrested, and even the old doorman who bought them was captured. Liu Yuliang was angry, so he went to Sun Chengzong's sickbed to complain, and pointed out all kinds of suspicious things about Zu Dashou and all kinds of high-flying and domineering evil deeds against him.
Sun Chengzong also called Zu Dashou to confront Liu Yuliang for this reason, and asked the two of them to spread out everything and say a meridian.
What made Liu Yuliang angry was that Zu Dashou actually beat him upside down and counted all his kinds of things that were not good, but this was nothing, and what made him even more frightened was that Zu Dashou actually put a hat on him, a spy!
