Mao Wenlong is already dead, and it is reasonable for the people below to cause trouble. Yuan Chonghuan took two steps back and shouted: "Mao Wenlong is dead. Do you still want to rebel at this time and bury him with him?"

"Mao Wenlong is the emperor's kindness and does not want to serve the country. Now he is the imperial edict to kill him. As the generals of the court, don't be confused. I hereby guarantee that only Mao Wenlong will be killed, and the rest will not pursue it."

Shang Kexi naturally disobeyed this trick and wanted to continue making trouble, but Geng Zhongming stretched out his hand to pull it. Shang Kexi was angry and just about to swear, when he saw Geng Zhongming keep winking at him. Shang Kexi turned his head and looked at him, and his heart suddenly became cold.

I saw more than 20 generals and schoolmen in the house, most of them hesitated, and some even took back their weapons. It can be seen how effective Yuan Chonghuan's words just now played.

Mao Wenlong was confirmed to be accused of treason, so the followers would inevitably be implicated. Instead of being angry, it would be better to rebel. However, Yuan Chonghuan's words just now gave people hope. Who would be willing to rebel with his family?

It cannot be said that this idea is wrong, but Shang Kexi cannot tolerate the attitude of everyone. His eyes roared red, "When the Grand Marshal was alive, he treated you very well. Now his bones are not cold. You are so treating him, you..."

Before he finished speaking, a burly general in the crowd walked out, and the man bowed and bowed to Yuan Chonghuan.

"General Yuan, please give your Majesty a few words. We have no intention of rebellion and will do our best to serve the court!"

The person who spoke was not someone else, but Mao Wenlong's deputy general Chen Jisheng. Chen Jisheng said this, so he bowed his head to Yuan Chonghuan and surrendered. The anger in Shang Kexi's heart was conceivable. If Geng Zhongming hadn't pulled him, he would have been stormed and killed Chen Jisheng.

Yuan Chonghuan was naturally smiling, and Chen Jisheng's change was also expected. As soon as Mao Wenlong died, the people under his command would be divided into two groups. Some of them wanted to avenge Mao Wenlong, while the other some would consider their future. Yuan Chonghuan felt that most people would consider their future, and it was also based on this that he dared to forge an imperial edict and directly kill Mao Wenlong.

When Chen Jisheng surrendered, Yuan Chonghuan naturally encouraged him happily, "Don't worry, General Chen, I have said before that I will only kill Mao Wenlong, and the rest will not pursue the matter."

This sentence is not only what Chen Jisheng said, but also gives everyone a reassurance. At this moment, most people have calmed down. Marshal Mao is dead, and it is time to consider the future.

It’s not that Chen Jisheng and others have no conscience, but that Mao Wenlong is already dead, and everyone is with their families, so they have to consider more. If Marshal Mao is alive, everyone has a backbone and a future, and it is not impossible to rebel. Now that people are gone, why do you still rebel?

Chen Jisheng's idea is the idea of ​​most people, so most people choose to bow their heads to Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan was also able to calm the hearts of the people. He ordered that everyone not be held accountable, and also asked Mao Wenlong's son Mao Chengzuo to act as the military affairs of Pidao. Chen Jisheng continued to be the deputy general, and the position of Yu remained unchanged. However, Yuan Chonghuan handed over Mao Wenlong's seal and Shang Fang's sword to Chen Jisheng for management. This move was a killing of two birds with one stone, which not only prevented Mao Chengzuo from causing trouble afterwards, but also rewarded Chen Jisheng.

The reward of Chen Jisheng was because he was the first to surrender and took the lead. Chen Jisheng was naturally grateful for this, but Mao Chengzuo, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming did not speak much.

Not long after, Yuan Chonghuan ordered Mao Wenlong to be buried with great care, and then reformed the government affairs of Pidao. The first thing was to abolish the Pidao commercial tax. In his opinion, this was a harsh government. As a general of the Ming Dynasty, he protected the people of the Ming Dynasty and provided transportation convenience for the Ming Dynasty merchants. What is it that tax collection is not a harsh government?

In fact, it doesn’t matter what Yuan Chonghuan does anymore, and no one cares about these trivial matters anymore.

......

Mao Wenlong's death not only shocked Liaodong, but also shocked the entire Ming Dynasty court.

As the general of Ping Liao and the left governor, Mao Wenlong was above Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan said he would kill him. So what about the imperial edict? Even if there was an imperial edict, he had to do things according to the rules. Why did you, Yuan Chonghuan say that he would kill him? Are you the king of heaven?

The news reached the capital, and the memorials impeached Yuan Chonghuan in the court were like snowflakes. At the same time, many people from Liaodong also sought justice for Mao Wenlong and demanded that Yuan Chonghuan be held accountable.

In Liaodong, the inherent forces led by Zhao Shujiao were also very dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan's behavior. Mao Wenlong, a rank like a rank of officials, had a higher status than Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan killed him whenever he said he could kill him. What about others?

Imperial edict? Even if there is an imperial edict, you, Yuan Chonghuan, cannot do anything wrong!

However, what was disappointing was that Chongzhen pressed down all the memorials and did not express any opinions. Similarly, the cabinet did not express any opinions.

Strangely, the cabinet was more active than Chongzhen in the past. This time, such a big thing happened, and it was in line with His Majesty's advance and retreat.

At this time, there was no candlelight in the Wenhua Hall, and the room was gloomy. Wang Chengen wanted to light the candle, but was stopped by Chongzhen. Sitting in the dark corner, Chongzhen closed his eyes tightly. Since he learned about Mao Wenlong's death, his reaction was the same as those of Geng Zhongming and others. He was completely confused, and then he was angry.

No one else doubted the authenticity of the imperial edict, but Chongzhen knew very well that the imperial edict was false, and the so-called twelve crimes were all taken by Yuan Chonghuan himself on Mao Wenlong's head.

He forged an edict and killed a first-rank official without authorization. How dare he do it? Chongzhen's anger is imagined. He wished he could escort Yuan Chonghuan to the capital to question him immediately. But after a long time, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

What Chongzhen was most concerned about was Liaodong. His biggest dream was to pacify Liaodong. Now the two most important people in Liaodong are Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong is dead now, which is an unchangeable fact, but Yuan Chonghuan is still alive.

Even if you ask Yuan Chonghuan at this time, what can you do? Mao Wenlong still can't survive. If you ask, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely die. Forgetting an edict, this one alone will not be enough to kill him ten times.

To pacify Liaodong, Chongzhen remembered the scene when he met Yuan Chonghuan, "As long as your Majesty supports me and gives me the right to act cheaply, I will pacify Liaodong in five years."

Liaodong, or Liaodong. Chongzhen swallowed all his anger into his stomach. Whether you forge an edict or kill Mao Wenlong, I will endure it. As long as you quell the Liaodong Jurchens for five years, you will still be my good minister because you are the one I chose.

In this way, Chongzhen stayed in Wenhua Hall for a night, and finally walked out of the imperial study the next day and issued an order to Mao Wenlong.
