I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 19 How do you want us to cooperate

"Your Majesty, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Hong Chengchou, has urgent state affairs to ask for an audience!"

The nearby eunuch knocked lightly on the palace door and reported.

Listening carefully, the eunuch's voice was still a little trembling.

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, no one would be happy to be disturbed on the wedding night.

But when he heard that it was an urgent state matter, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to get off the bed, and said helplessly, "Place yourself in the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

It wasn't until Zhu Youjian's voice sounded that the eunuch was relieved, but he didn't dare to relax completely, and said softly, "Master Hong, can you put down the sword?"

A sharp sword that was polished so that it could reflect a figure was resting on the eunuch's neck.

"It's so offending, please don't blame your father-in-law!"

After hearing Zhu Youjian's angry voice, Hong Chengchou put away the sword with confidence.

Zhu Youjian's voice didn't sound like something happened.

Hong Chengchou managed to get rid of Xia Xing just now, and was dissuaded by the eunuch when he came here.

He was already anxious to the extreme, how could he talk nonsense with this eunuch.

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When the emperor got married, red lanterns were hung everywhere, even the Hall of Supreme Harmony was no exception.

The lit candle light shone on the faces of the monarch and his ministers, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"

Anyone who disturbed the emperor's wedding night knew that if he was a little careless, he would be punished.

"Aiqing must have something very important to come to meet the saint at such a time as tonight."

Hong Chengchou immediately bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I found out that the identity of the noble concubine Suyuan is different! I owe Your Majesty's trust, and I am here to plead guilty!"

It turned out to be this matter!
Zhu Youjian shook his head and said with a smile, "So that's the matter, I already know about it."

Hong Chengchou thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but looked up at the emperor in doubt, but quickly lowered his head again.

"Is there any definite proof?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister just has an idea, and there is no evidence yet."

At present, Jin Yiwei's conclusion is only deliberated through the chain of evidence, and there is no direct evidence.

"Since there is no one, don't mention this matter again in the future. Su Yuan is the imperial concubine of my Daming, and has no other identity other than that, do you understand?"

Zhu Youjian stepped forward and patted Hong Chengchou's shoulder gently, and winked when he looked up at him.

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly, and said, "Your Majesty, you want to..."

Zhu Youjian coughed lightly.

"I didn't say anything, you must know what to do."

Zhu Youjian wanted to conceal Xia Suyuan's identity, Hong Chengchou naturally knew that he should cooperate.

"I understand!"

"However, you came rashly on the night of candles and candles in my bridal chamber, it is a crime and you will still be punished.

Zhu Youjian took out the scroll from his sleeve, handed it to Hong Chengchou, and said, "This is the fate of the remnants of Bauhinia, take it, and I believe you can give me a perfect explanation."

……

Westbound.

At the foot of Wei'an Mountain.

A large number of military tents were stationed, the soldiers had sufficient food, and their morale was high.

Nowadays, the national treasury is full and military supplies are flowing continuously.

If the emperor hadn't given him this drudgery, Hong Chengchou wouldn't have even wanted to step here.

The reason is simple. When Hong Chengchou was the commander of Jinyiwei, the emperor gave him the right to call troops at all levels.

At that time, Hong Chengchou relied on his holy decree to pick out top talents from the barracks.Although the generals headed by Yuan Chonghuan were angry, they couldn't let it out.

Picking and picking, Hong Chengchou became the most unpopular person in the barracks.

Now that he has requests from Yuan Chonghuan and others, he can only be polite when he enters this military camp.

"General Yuan, I have a military merit, do you want it or not?"

"want!"

Yuan Chonghuan answered very simply, but still had a stinky face.

At the beginning, Hong Chengchou transferred thousands of elites from him, and he was still brooding about it.

"Give!"

Hong Chengchou took out the scroll and handed it over.

However, no one answered the picture scroll handed out for a long time.

The scene was awkward for a while.

"I'll take a look."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want others to be embarrassed.

After unrolling the painting scroll, Lu Xiangsheng regained his energy in an instant, and quickly handed the scroll over to Yuan Chonghuan.

"Brother Yuan, look, this is the defense map of Bauhinia!"

Yuan Chonghuan glanced at it casually, and then held back his excitement and said indifferently: "So, Commander Hong is here this time to transfer troops again?"

"Yes, not all."

Hong Chengchou looked at Yuan Chonghuan firmly while speaking, and said sincerely: "Now it's about the remnants of Bauhinia, and it's also about His Majesty's entrustment. Please, General Yuan, put aside the unhappiness of the past for now."

Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while, curled his lips, and was willing to cooperate.

"So, how does His Majesty plan to deal with these people?"

"Isn't it enough to just kill him? Is there any need to think about it?"

Lu Xiangsheng took the words without the slightest hesitation.

However, Hong Chengchou shook his head and explained: "No! Now Bauhinia Saintess Suyuan is my royal concubine, and this defense plan was also given to Your Majesty by the concubine, so I have a great intention to surrender."

"Since they have all surrendered, what kind of soldiers should they borrow? Fight whatever!"

Lu Xiangsheng was still so outspoken.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak at the side, but the movement of picking up the wine glass was obviously slow. Hong Chengchou glanced at him and knew it in his heart.

"General Yuan, what do you think?"

After being silent for a while, Yuan Chonghuan finally opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty suspects that Bauhinia is only partially surrendering now?"

"The general is wise."

The grievances between Bauhinia and Daming for so many years can't be broken just by saying it.

Although Suyuan is wholeheartedly devoted, there will inevitably be people among the Bauhinia who will not listen to her.

Those are the hardest people to deal with.

"How do you want us to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. Jinyiwei's work is a secret investigation. As for the forceful suppression on the surface, it depends on the two generals."

After all, Jinyiwei is just an intelligence organization, and such things that are related to national prestige naturally depend on the army.

What's more, the two generals will be more likely to convince those who surrendered in Bauhinia.

Hong Chengchou was like a mirror in his heart.

"Is there an imperial decree from His Majesty?"

Yuan Chonghuan had a long-term mind and asked.

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, his little thoughts were betrayed by humanity, so he had to answer truthfully: "No, but as ministers, we should all share your majesty's worries."

After all, this is not the emperor's will.

Zhu Youjian secretly ordered Hong Chengchou to do this.

After all, when it comes to Su Yuan in the harem, it's not easy for Zhu Youjian to do these things himself.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Hong Chengchou for a long time, as if he wanted to see through him.

It seems that His Majesty really trusts this person.

Hong Chengchou raised his head and took a sip of his wine, but finally agreed.

"Since that's the case, then do as Master Hong said."

It wasn't until Hong Chengchou walked away that Lu Xiangsheng approached Yuan Chonghuan and asked, "Brother Yuan, haven't you always disliked this man? We just agreed to him so easily?"

"From now on, you should avoid dealing with this person, and don't do anything wrong with him. This person looks honest, but he has too many eyes!"

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was puzzled, and could only pat him on the head helplessly.
