I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 2 Collaborating with the enemy, treason, killing the good and taking meritorious deeds, the Meridian Gate Lingchi ransacked the family and the barbarians!
"Where is Yang Wenwei?"

"Chen is here!"

Yang Sichang, the head of the civil service cabinet, stepped out steadily.

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the man in the center of the hall.

[Loyalty value: 80!

PS：忠诚值0以下的人视君如敌人；忠诚值0的人视君如路人；忠诚值0至60视君如国人；忠诚值在61至80的人视君如亲朋好友；忠诚值在81至100的人视君如信仰永无背叛之心！】

Zhu Youjian nodded, knowing that he would be held accountable, but still had a high degree of loyalty.

It's okay!

"In this Ruzhou battle, will Mr. Ge win or lose?"

"Report to the emperor, it is..."

"I want to hear the truth. Ai Qing is a nobleman and my teacher. Facing me, the Ming Dynasty that gave birth to you and raised you, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, think about it before you speak!"

Zhu Youjian said expressionlessly.

Regarding the answer to the Battle of Ruzhou, he has the same heart as Ming Jing.Having said so much, I just want to give the loyal minister a chance.

Yang Sichang raised his head slowly, met the emperor's gaze, and sighed softly.

Thinking back in my mind that the current Ming Dynasty is precarious and the building is about to collapse, the expression on his face is both joyful and sad.

Fortunately, the emperor finally saw the reality clearly.

The sad thing is that I made a big mistake, I am afraid that after today, I will no longer have a foothold in the court.

Yang Sichang knelt on the ground with both legs, his head bowed to the ground, with tears dripping on his cheeks, he kowtowed and said, "I report to Your Majesty, I have failed Your Majesty's expectations, I am guilty!"

"In this battle of Ruzhou, I was eager for success, and used the strategy of 'four points and six corners, and ten sides to spread the net' to surround and suppress the peasant army who suppressed the intruders. However, I misjudged the situation and fell into the encirclement of the intruders, and then the army was short of food. , suffered a disastrous defeat!"

"I'm sorry Your Majesty! I'm sorry Daming! I'm even more sorry for the dead soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Ruzhou!"

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Kowtow three times!

One louder than one!
An echo was formed in the empty hall!

Yang Sichang's forehead was bleeding, and he was in tears. Tears and blood flowed down his face!

"In order not to annihilate the entire army, I abandoned Ruzhou, causing countless people in Ruzhou to be slaughtered by intruders, and I cannot escape the blame for death! Your Majesty, please give me a death!"

The Hall of Mental Cultivation fell into a dead silence.

Without exception, all the officials showed worry. This was the first time they heard the truth about the Battle of Ruzhou. It turned out that the truth was so cruel!

Although they knew that the thieves were becoming more and more powerful, but in their hearts, those people were nothing more than a gang of rogues.

As long as the imperial army arrives, it will collapse in an instant!
Wei Zhongxian, the chief minister of the cabinet standing in the ranks of hundreds of officials, suddenly sweated all over his body, and watermarks could be seen on his clothes, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"So, the battle in Ruzhou is a defeat?!"

"Defeat! Still... still a complete defeat!"

"Then why did the intruder retreat?"

"Enough looting, naturally retreat!"

Yang Sichang's head was pressed against the gold brick floor, and the cold feeling came from the ground, supporting himself to communicate with His Majesty calmly.

And waiting for His Majesty's sin!
Death!

"Master Wei!"

Zhu Youjian called out coldly, and glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

If it weren't for you, the Donglin Party wouldn't be so powerful.

Zhu Youjian knew very well that once the historical Wei Zhongxian died, the Donglin Party would collapse on its own.

But right now...he doesn't want to take this risk, lest the Donglin Party will be killed and the net will be destroyed, which will aggravate the crisis of Mingming.

Standing in front of the hundred officials, Wei Zhongxian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, trembled all over, lying on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"I just reported to Your Majesty in accordance with the memorial from Ruzhou. I never dared to deceive Your Majesty with any falsehoods!"

"Your Majesty, please see that the servant entered the palace with the late emperor since childhood, and forgive the crime of negligence!"

Ha ha!

The crime of bullying the king is not the crime of neglect!

Even play the emotional card!
Wei Zhongxian is very aware of the current situation, Ruzhou's disastrous defeat, and false reporting of the battle situation, if these two things are involved, it is a felony of beheading!

Now I just think with my toes, I know that Huang Qinggong beheaded thousands of people and retreated unscathed, there are doubts! ! !
Especially the gold and treasures that Huang Qinggong gave him were still hidden at home, but now they have become reminders.

Old thief Huang Qinggong!

Miss me!
Wei Zhongxian made up his mind that as long as he escaped this disaster, he would definitely kill Huang Qinggong, a soldier!

"Huang Qinggong!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes fell on the military attache, his voice was very cold, and seemed to be mixed with murderous intent!
"Chen is here!"

Huang Qinggong.

The eyes of all civil and military officials gathered at one place, and there was no smile at all, but only cold killing intent.

"Tell me, how did you escape from the thieves' encirclement and kill thousands of enemies?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's a minister... a minister..."

Huang Qinggong's face was pale, and he stumbled in his speech, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it.

"Your Majesty, I know!"

Wei Zhongxian raised his head and said ferociously: "Before giving the memorial to Your Majesty, Huang Qinggong once approached the minister and said that he wrote the memorial for the Battle of Ruzhou. At that time, the minister was overwhelmed by lard and gave the memorial to him!"

"I didn't expect that the content written in the memorial was completely inconsistent with what I knew, especially Huang Qinggong's beheading thousands, and I couldn't believe it!"

"Huang Qinggong's troops have less than [-] soldiers, but they were able to wipe out thousands of enemies in the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and break through the encirclement without any damage. Such words are simply absurd!"

"Thus, I secretly sent factory guards to investigate the matter. After the investigation, it was discovered that Huang Qinggong secretly gave the supply route of the Ruzhou army to the intruders in exchange for his own escape!"

"What's even worse is that Huang Qinggong was worried that he would be held accountable for the defeat in Ruzhou, so he secretly sent troops to find the evacuated people in Ruzhou, massacred and beheaded them!"

"Thousands of innocent people remaining in Ruzhou were massacred by Huang Qinggong's troops. Huang Qinggong disfigured and dressed them up. Let them become his own military exploits!"

"Huang Qinggong, you are not a human being! That's my mother-in-law!"

All revealed!
There are no more secrets in the battle of Ruzhou!

Zhu Youjian's murderous intention permeated his whole body at this moment, almost condensing into substance.

Exchange the life of Pao Ze for the chance of escape, and use the heads of the common people to forge military and military exploits.

Bang!
Huang Qinggong fell to the ground!

After continuous fright, coupled with the emperor's real killing intent, Huang Qinggong, who was already worried, collapsed on the spot, and his body went into a state of shock.

"Yang Sichang!"

"The criminal is here!"

"You have no way to protect the people, and you are disadvantaged in battle! I think you have been loyal to the country for decades, and you will bestow three feet of white silk. Go home and say goodbye to your family!"

"I thank you for the grace!"

"Go back, the people of Ruzhou City are waiting for you!"

With tears in his eyes, Yang Sichang took the white silk from Wang Chengen, took off his official hat, turned around, and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation desolately!

"Wei Zhongxian!"

"The criminal is here!"

"You deceived the emperor, ignored the grace of God, colluded with courtiers, and harmed the country and the people! I think you are an old minister of the emperor's brother. I have been with the emperor's emperor for many years. You will be punished to be demoted to three ranks, and all your property will be confiscated. Without my will, you can't go out of the East." Factory half step!"

"The guilty minister thanked His Majesty for not killing him!"

Wei Zhongxian replied with tears in his eyes.

……

"Huang Qinggong!"

"Collaborate with the enemy and treason the country, kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, the Meridian Gate Lingchi, the family, and the barbarians!"
