Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 685 I\'m not a coward

I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion!

After the secret meeting with Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou sent 800 li to Beijing to make an urgent memorial. Because it was sent from Yunnan and it was Hong Chengchou's office, Jin Zhijun and Feng Quan, the newly established cabinet scholars in the Qing court, did not dare to delay, and immediately sent them to the palace. Shunzhi, who was discussing personal expedition matters with the university scholar Sehei and the Minister of the Interior Sony, heard that it was Hong Chengchou's superior, and quickly ordered him to take a look.

"This minister was appointed to the Five Provinces, and witnessed the deteriorating scenes of Yunnan and Guizhou and the plot of the Tusi's guards watching. It is not to be forced. Today, Zhou Ni and others have newly adopted the pseudo-Tang king in Guangdong to supervise the country. It's not good, and the military's heart is depressed. This minister has repeatedly heard that Li Dingguo and other chieftains who have crossed borders, Kai returned to Guangxi from Jingdong and Liujiang to join forces with Zhou. It is necessary to retain the army. If the army moves lightly, it will inevitably collude in secret. If the army wants to play its tricks, it will be empty. The army is far away and cannot be cared. I secretly think that when Liu Pingxi sits in Yungui, it should not be underestimated."

After Shunzhi read it, he did not comment, but decided to discuss it tomorrow.

When Ese Hei and Sony retreated, Shunzhi suddenly asked them: "Hong Chengchou's son has become the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty regime. Do you think Hong Chengchou is still loyal to me?"

Forehead Black and Sony looked at each other in dismay, but did not dare to speak. Seeing this, Shunzhi shook his head and said to himself, "I don't have any doubts about hiring people, but I don't need to use people who are suspicious. Don't worry, I don't have a long, style, and literature. Emperor Taizong's."

During the ministerial meeting the next day, the imperial censor Hao Yu came forward to impeach Wu Sangui for embracing soldiers. This Hao Yu was a native of Dingzhou, Zhili Prefecture. He was a jinshi in the fourth year of Shunzhi. He was initially appointed as the head of the Punishment Department, and later changed to the censor of Huguang Road to inspect Sichuan. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Ming army Liu Wenxiu attacked Sichuan on a large scale. Wu Sangui and Li Guoying were both defeated. They intended to give up Sichuan and retreat to Hanzhong in Shaanxi. As a result, Hao Yu strongly discouraged him, saying that this move would not be killed by thieves, but by law, so he let Li Guoying Changed his mind and persisted, and he was able to preserve the site in Sichuan.

Later, when Hao Yu was stationed in Baoning, he was surrounded by Ming generals such as Liu Wenxiu and Wang Fuchen in Baoning City. Hao Yu, the censor, repeatedly asked Wu Sangui for help, but Wu Sangui ignored him. Therefore, Hao Yu held a grudge and played him a copy in front of Shunzhi, saying that Wu Sangui waited and watched with the soldiers and did not help himself. Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui seized the phrase "passing arrows and stones" in the text and put him in exile.

Hao Yu had just been pardoned and returned to Beijing two months ago. He was serving as a censor, but he had always held a grudge against Wu Sangui and was always ready to seek revenge. Heavy, almost despairing, thinking that there is no hope of revenge for this life, but I don't want the opportunity to come to my door.

Hao Yu impeached Wu Sangui for supporting the army and being self-respecting. If the court grants him to stay in Yungui, he will be in trouble in the future, and it will become a serious problem for Qing's confidants.

Hao Yu's impeachment was supported by Li Jinping, who was also the censor, and they also came forward to impeach Wu Sangui, and some even directly pointed the finger at Hong Chengchou, saying that he and Wu Sangui were in trouble, one inside and one outside; Wen, one is martial, and the other is support. The biggest evidence brought out by the censors is that both Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were Ming ministers, and the two were in a teacher-student relationship, so Hong Chengchou must be uneasy and well-intentioned to invite Yungui for Wu Sangui.

The impeachment of the imperial censors touched the heartstrings of the Manchu dignitaries in Beijing. In their opinion, although Wu Sangui, as the Prince of Pingxi, has an extremely noble status, he is Han Chinese after all. In the eyes of Han officials, the relatives and nobles of Manchuria were originally hostile to the Han people, and Han officials who had no power to bind chickens against the Eight Banners were suspicious, not to mention the Han princes who held heavy troops.

Even the old official Ning Wan I, who has not heard of political affairs, made a memorial on behalf of his sick body. However, he did not directly target Hong Chengchou to invite Yungui for Wu Sangui, but expressed his views on Wu Sangui's appointment of local officials in Yunnan without the consent of the court. .

"I read the newspaper of the residence and saw that the King of Pingxi asked for promotions and supplements. All ten members, including the deputy envoy Hu Yun, planned to be promoted to various provinces in Yunnan; and also announced that Cao Cao was also included in the messenger! , only the imperial court has the master. From ancient times to the present, there has been no change. That is, the new scriptures of Yun and Gui are opened, and there are few people in the management; the talents of the officials are known to the vassal; The lack of signatures for the ministry license is still a matter of expediency. It is just the way it is intended to be used. Respectful. I have been in the vassal for many years, so I should know the general situation. That is, from the perspective of the frontier, it is not necessary to have a deep heart. However, to prevent the small and the gradual, we should be careful before the opportunity. Sui Ji. All the power, blessings and power should be ordered to the court. Then the kindness of the ruler and the friendship between the ministers can be obtained."

After Ning finished my letter, it caused an uproar. Many imperial censors saw the old scholar come forward to support them, and even more boldly wrote a letter to scold Hong Chengchou as a traitor. Wu Sangui has big ambitions.

In recent days, Shunzhi has been very troubled. When the news of the disastrous defeat of the Roto army came, Tang Ruowang happened to be in the palace. Thought. But the empress dowager scolded the emperor, saying how can you give up your ancestors and the mountains and rivers they have gained so cowardly."

One thing Tang Ruowang didn't see, that is, after he withdrew from the temple in awe, the emperor became more and more violent because of the Queen Mother's remarks. He pulled out his sword and declared that he was not a coward, nor would he give up his ancestors. , he must go out in person, or win or die!

In order to strengthen his belief in the personal expedition, Shunzhi split his throne into pieces with the sword in his hand. Seeing this, the queen mother was very frightened and tried to persuade the emperor to calm down. Since the south suffered a big defeat, the morale of the Ming army must have been soaring. At this time, the emperor's personal expedition was unwise and too risky. It is better to remain as Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo. As a rule, let the Han ministers deal with the matter until things turn around again. Suma Lagu, who came with the queen mother, also tried to persuade the emperor not to go to the army in person, but this did not make the emperor even more angry.

Shunzhi was already in trouble. He had already ordered the news of his personal expedition to be announced to the world. The eight banners forbidding travel, and the provisions and supplies would be ready immediately. At this time, there is no way to say it, where will he put his face?

Shunzhi didn't want people all over the world to say that the emperor did not dare to fight in person because he was frightened by the great defeat in the south, so he made up his mind that he must fight in person. But on the second day, he euphemistically said to the interior ministers that the soldiers and horses he had recruited were too thin, so he could recruit more soldiers and horses.

The southwest side can't be counted on for the time being. Originally, Shunzhi thought that he would go south in person, and Duny would go north from Yunnan and Guizhou to attack Zhou Ni's Taiping army and the rest of the Shun army. Due to the fiasco of Tuo and Zhao Butai, Duny was unable to go north at all, and even lacked food and grass. The current situation seems to be that Shunzhi led his troops to rescue Doni, and the ministers always relieved the monarch from danger, but there was no such thing as the monarch.

The defeat of Guangxi and the fact that the Ming army in the south had a Tang king overseeing the country, which had never been heard of, made Shunzhi worried and worried at the same time. According to statistics from the Ministry of Households the day before yesterday, the army has spent more than 9 million taels of silver on the southwestern army. In addition to the wars in Fujian and Guangdong, it needs to spend more than 10 million taels of silver every year. This amount is half of the total income of the Qing Dynasty for the whole year. Some officials said that the current state finance is not much better than that of the former Ming Chongzhen period.

Hong Chengchou asked the imperial court to let Wu Sangui zheng Yungui, but Shunzhi was still somewhat hesitant. Wu Sangui had previously used the reason of the decline of the army to evade the invasion of Burma. At that time, the Taiping army of the Zhou Dynasty entered Guangxi and captured Huguang. But now, Wu Sangui has been resting for nearly half a year, but he has not seen any action, and Zhou Ni's Taiping army is unable to enter Guizhou westward. At this moment, Shunzhi does not need Wu Sangui to sack and kill the valueless Zhu Youlang, but Wu Sangui. You have to express yourself to the emperor. He is good, and he stays in western Yunnan and does not move, which shows that his intentions are sinister.

Hong Chengchou is also a jug that cannot be opened and mentioned. How did he think of inviting Fan Yungui to come for Wu Sangui? Could it be true, as the censors said, that he and Wu Sangui were colluding with teachers and students, and could not succeed because of their embarrassment? I know that your son was not his original intention to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and I also know that you can't save your son, so I still trust you and let you go to Yunnan to help in military affairs~www.mtlnovel.com~ Make a lot of plans for Duny, but I I didn't ask you to advise Wu Sangui!

Shunzhi was a little angry and felt that Hong Chengchou had failed him. When he was in bed late at night, he tossed and turned uneasy, and suddenly felt a little worried. He was about to go south to conquer that Zhou Ni in person, but his sons were still young, and if something went wrong with the expedition or turmoil, the Qing Dynasty might not be able to withstand it.

But worry again, the matter of personal expedition is like an arrow, and it will be impossible if it is not released.

In any case, this matter is related to the emperor's majesty and Shunzhi's face. You must know that at the beginning, he insisted on the personal expedition and forcibly promoted this matter at the meeting of the princes and ministers.

When the emperor opened his mouth, it was Jin Yan.

For the sake of safety, Shunzhi felt that he still had to take some precautions against Wu Sangui. He summoned Sony, Ebilong, Suksaha and Aobai to discuss the matter.

The book review has been criticized by many book friends for being slow to update and dragging the plot. The bones are speechless and can only be compressed. But if you compress it again, you need to explain everything in a pen.

This book is historical after all. (To be continued.)
