Um?

Zhu Youjian turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Yanru, the Minister of Rites.

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Why?"

"Emperor, Jiangning is thousands of miles away from the capital, and he has arrived at the imperial edict issued by the court on the third day of November."

"Doesn't this mean that he set out from Ningyuan before he received the edict?"

"How did he know?"

"Will the Tartars tell him the troops?"

"In addition, it is a serious crime to commit a traitor without taking the Ming Dynasty to lead troops into Beijing!"

Zhou Yanru talked a lot about Yuan Chonghuan's faults in a series of ways, probably because he had been deliberate for a long time.

In the past few days, although he felt that the emperor was a little different from before, he always thought that the emperor was the emperor who had summoned him alone in Wenhua Palace and chatted with him for an afternoon.

The emperor is still an overly suspicious emperor.

The emperor was still the emperor who had voted for the cabinet because he was too short of his qualifications and was not elected and wanted to find an opportunity to promote him.

Although the cabinet chief Han Du was defeated all the time, he still had a bit of arrogance because he was arrogant.

I wonder where he got his confidence?

But how could he know that the Emperor Chongzhen in front of him was no longer a loyal and treacherous person who could not distinguish between Emperor Chongzhen.

He is arrogant because of his favor, and some of his "pride" are not the same.

"Oh? After hearing what my dear said, it's really a bit suspicious!"

Zhu Youjian looked up at Zhou Yanru for a while before he said slowly.

He was about to deal with these incompetent slanderous ministers one by one, but he came to his door and couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty, you must not. Yuan is already a tired army to serve the king for thousands of miles. If you don't have food and supplies and rest in time, you may be unable to resist the Tartars' attack on the city tomorrow!"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he quickly stood up and said.

The imperial court had no idea of ​​the hardships of the front-line soldiers' raid.

I think about how to check and balance every day, and the desperate soldiers who are controlling the situation outside.

If the emperor had not re-activated him to build defense, he would have really not want to be a minister with these people.

"Mr. Sun, do you want to cover up on Supervisor Yuan?" Zhou Yanru said to Sun Chengzong coldly.

"You..." Sun Chengzong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

If he makes a few more excuses, he will be said to be a member of the party, and then many problems will be involved...

"In the opinion of Zhou Aiqing, should the Guanning Iron Cavalry enter the city to rest?"

"Should I welcome General Yuan?"

Zhu Youjian stared at Zhou Yan, Confucian Taoism with great interest.

"When I go back to the emperor, I think that the Guanning Iron Cavalry should not enter the city, so as not to intrude into the Tartar spies. In addition, I am afraid that if the Chief Yuan has two intentions, there will be a sudden change!"

"As for the commander Yuan personally, he can enter the city, but he cannot open the city gate!"

What Zhou Yanru said is really true.

"Oh? Then how should Yuan Chonghuan enter the city?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"You can hang a basket from the top of the city and let Superintendent Yuan sit on the basket!"

"How can Haoge escort it? Could it be that he must also be hung from the basket?"

Zhu Youjian asked while touching his chin.

"The emperor is wise!" Zhou Yanru's answer was very straightforward.

"I remember you were the 41st year of Wanli, who won the Huiyuan and the top scholar in a row?" Zhu Youjian suddenly asked a distracted question.

"I still remember the humble ministers with the love of the emperor..." Zhou Yanru's words sounded humble, but his arrogant smile could not be hidden on his face.

"Not bad, since the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tartars, they have captured the Tartar general for the first time. I will trouble you to go down and take it!"

"Using your knowledge and the way of Confucius and Mencius, we can influence the barbarity of the Tartars!"

Before Zhou Yanru could finish his words, Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"Emperor...Your Majesty...You want me to go down the hanging basket and escort the Tartars?"

Zhou Yanru's face, which had not yet fully bloomed, froze.

I thought the emperor would praise him a lot, but I didn't expect that he would...

"What's wrong?" Zhu Youjian asked coldly.

"The emperor... I am a person with fame and fortune, this... is too insulting to be gentle..."

"The Tartars are a barbaric person, very fierce..."

Zhou Yanru knelt down with a sad face and begged.

When he went down from the hanging basket, how could he have the face of the Minister of Rites?

And the escort was the fierce Tartar. If he was broken free, could he still be better?

"Are you a person with fame and fortune? Are you afraid of insulting your kindness?"

"Then Yuan Chonghuan, who was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, had no fame? Will he be able to get up from the hanging basket without any shame?"

Zhu Youjian suddenly shouted loudly.

"If you don't obey the order, throw it down from the city!"

After saying that, he led the others down to welcome Yuan Chonghuan.

"Transfer my will and loosen the Tartars. Under my nose, he can still run away!"

When Zhou Yanru heard the order of Zhu Youjian who had already turned into the city ladder, he almost fainted.

The Emperor wants his life...

In a short while, a hanging basket that could accommodate two or three people was sent to the top of the city.

This hanging basket is just filled with horse manure, it smells pungent and unpleasant, and the basket is even more dirty.

"Sir, please!" said the soldier on the front of the city as if he was polite.

But in my heart I hate this kind of person who stands and talks without pain.

How could they not know the pain of rushing thousands of miles away? They would not let people enter the city to rest and rest. What would they feel?

"This... can I change a basket?" Zhou Yanru said, pinching his nose.

"Sir Zhou, there is only one basket on the top of the city..."

"Oh...be careful when you put it down..."

Under the city, Yuan Chonghuan had already received the imperial edict.

He let go of Haoge, but he couldn't escape anyway, because he was surrounded by Guanning Iron Cavalry.

"Yuan Chonghuan, what kind of general is around me like this? I have the ability to come and fight alone!"

Haoge moved his arms and shouted, "I was so frustrated today."

He was the first general of the Later Jin Dynasty to be captured and had already lost all his face.

Especially when he was captured by Yuan Chonghuan, who was born in a civil servant, he tried his best to regain a trace of dignity.

Anyway, even if he was injured and had a single fight with bare hands, Yuan Chonghuan was definitely not his opponent.

If he was lucky enough to go back, he could also make a big fuss about how he beat Yuan Chonghuan under the heavy siege of the Ming army...

"No, Chonghuan has seen the power of the general, and the person who fought alone has come down..."

As Yuan Chonghuan spoke, he pointed to Zhou Yanru who was slowly putting it down from the basket.

He heard everything he said on the top of the city just now, and the treacherous Zhou Yanru was so scared that he let out a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the Emperor's wiseness, he would have suffered.

Then how can he be as good as Zhou Yanru?

"Just him?" Haoge looked coldly and shouted loudly.

"Don't be rude, this is Zhou Yanru, the Minister of Rites of our dynasty..."

Yuan Chonghuan emphasized the four words "Shangshi" by the Ministry of Rites.

"Sir Yuan, you will be brave enough to defeat the Tartars, your courage is commendable..."

As soon as Zhou Yanru came down, he heard harsh words like Haoge wanted to fight one-on-one, but he never expected that the opponent was him.

He was so scared that he had no expression on his face. He tried hard to squeeze out a hint of smile than crying. He wanted to please Yuan Chonghuan, but Haoge had already jumped into the basket.

It is also quite majestic to beat up a Ming court's Minister of Rites.
