Chapter 220: Chen Yan consecrated poison and plotted against Wu Sangui
"Strange?"
The envoy wondered.
"Isn't it?"
Chen Yan replied: "Your Excellency, Lan Tianzheng spent two months getting the evidence that the Fan family and the other three Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy, but how could he determine that the other five also collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?" The Jin merchants are not ordinary families, each of them is worth millions, they have an intricate relationship in the court, the tree is big and deep, if there is no conclusive evidence, these people would have jumped out to protect the Jin merchants, it is because the court suddenly made a move, did not leave the court ministers the slightest time to resist, and took down all the Jin merchants. The emperor must have conclusive evidence in hand before he dared to make a sudden move! And in addition to the evidence that Lan Tian is collecting, I suspect that Zhu Jie obtained it through some channels, and it is not even ruled out that he got it when he went to Manchuria! ”
"Do you suspect that it is the queen mother of our family? No way! You must know that it is his son who is sitting on the emperor's throne now, and he has no reason, even if Zhu Jie is his savior! ”
The envoy shouted angrily.
Chen Yan shook his head helplessly and replied, "Okay, what is going on here, I will only talk about it later, and no one knows what is going on now." ”
The envoy snorted coldly and asked, "Then do you have any good ways to get rid of Zhu Jie?" ”
"Get rid of Zhu Jie?"
Chen Yan smiled helplessly: "Your Excellency, it's difficult, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, you must know that now our emperor has great trust in Zhu Jie, even if he commits a capital crime, he will try his best to keep Zhu Jie safe." Zhu Jie is his lifeline, even if the courtiers of the entire court are united, they can't shake her position, but there is one person who may be helpful to your country......"
"Who?"
Chen Yan said in a low voice: "Shanhaiguan Chief Soldier, Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui!" ”
"Wu Sangui?"
The envoy was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you don't know yet, do you?" Just a month ago, Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang, because of personal fraud, was instigated by Zhu Jie to behead Wu Xiang directly to show the public, killing his father's revenge, but not Dai Tian, now Shanhaiguan is still guarding Wu Sangui, you say, the regent shot at Wu Sangui and subdued Wu Sangui, the door of Shanhaiguan is wide open, and this Beijing city is not ready to go? ”
Hiss......
The envoy gasped and wiped it, how much of a bastard is this Chongzhen to be able to get rid of such a thing? The entire north gate of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Wu Sangui, and he dares to cut down someone's father directly! And let Wu Sangui still guard the mountain customs! Lack of heart, complete stupidity!
The envoy's heart pounded excitedly, and he said urgently: "Lord Chen, if you ask you to speak on your behalf, how sure do you think you can persuade Wu Sangui to surrender?" If you do this, let us win the Central Plains, I think after entering the customs, the position of this auxiliary cabinet minister is still yours, no one can compete with you, even if you are crowned a king with a different surname, it may not be impossible! ”
Chen Yan shook his head and replied: "It's not proper, it's very inappropriate, the capital is now full of brocade guards, if I come forward to lobby Wu Sangui, it will be easy to leak the news, and besides, I am a Ming minister, how can Wu Sangui trust what I say?" Second, if you want Wu Sangui to surrender, you have to come up with enough benefits, I don't have the slightest power now, even if I tell Wu Sangui to give him a title with a different surname, he won't believe it! ”
The flame in the envoy's heart was half extinguished, if Chen Yan was not sure, wouldn't this matter be in vain?
Looking at the envoy's somewhat disappointed expression, Chen Yan smiled and said: "Your Excellency the envoy, in fact, this matter may not be without a chance, but I am not the most suitable person, I think you recommend someone, I must be competent!" ”
"Who?"
"Zu Dashou! It is the ancestor who surrendered your country with Hong Chengchou and was named the ancestor of the Han Army's Yellow Banner Angbang Zhangjing! ”
Chen Yan said in a deep voice, "You may not know, this Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's maternal uncle, Wu Sangui first joined the army, he grew up in the Guanning Army, Zu Dashou contributed a lot during this period, without Zu Dashou's maintenance, Wu Sangui could not have served as the chief military officer of Liaodong in just the year of the weak crown, if the regent invited Zu Dashou to come forward to surrender, and then lure him with a high-ranking official and marquis, it must be a complete success!" ”
The envoy's eyes lit up, and he said urgently: "Lord Chen, is this true?" ”
Chen Yan nodded and said: "There is no falsehood, as long as Zu Dashou comes forward, Wu Sangui, who has just suffered the pain of losing his father, will definitely betray the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Qing Dynasty!" ”
"Haha,"
The envoy laughed and said: "As long as Wu Sangui's camp surrenders and opens the gate of Shanhaiguan, then our tens of thousands of iron horsemen in the Qing Dynasty will drive straight in, and in just one month, take the entire Gyeonggi, and the Ming Dynasty will be completely finished!" Thank you, Mr. Chen! ”
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you and I are both courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, so naturally we don't need to be so polite, but after I go back, please say a few more kind words in front of the regent, and this official is naturally grateful!"
Chen Yan hurriedly said politely.
Originally, Chen Yan only secretly sent a letter to Dolgon because of a moment of jealousy, trying to kill Zhu Jie by Dolgon's hand, but he didn't expect that Zhu Jie was not killed, but he was entangled by Dolgon!
Dolgon is such a shrewd person, naturally he will not let go of Chen Yan, this is the first auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the secrets of the entire Ming Dynasty are almost all in his hands.
When Dolgon threatened him with letters, Chen Yan was completely dumbfounded, and he made a mistake into a thousand years of hatred, if Chongzhen knew that he was in the enemy country, it would definitely be to dismantle himself, it is estimated that it will be light, and the most likely outcome is to be cut off by Ling Chi like Yuan Chonghuan, and there will be no corpse!
Chen Yan wanted to retreat again, but it was too late, this piece of dog skin plaster could not be shaken off, and he could only go one way to the dark.
So, every half a month, Chen Yan had to exchange information with people from Manchuria, this is the fifth time, this time, it can be said that it is five times, to send the most valuable and lethal information to Manchuria, once Wu Sangui defects, it will be a catastrophic consequence for the entire Ming Dynasty, which is enough to make the Ming Dynasty and the Han people lose their country and extinct the disaster!
