Three days later, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, Bingbi, was imprisoned and sentenced to death for colluding with foreign ministers and having evil intentions. With a wave of his pen, the emperor announced that Ling Chi, the brother of Liaoyang Bo, would be executed. The execution was carried out in the square outside the Huangji Palace. Wei Zhongxian was cut with 3,600 knives by Zhang Tianxing of the Jingshi Room. The cut meat was eaten by the palace ladies and eunuchs. The scene was chaotic and bloody.
On August 30th of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian summoned Li Guozhen, the admiral of the Beijing camp, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, in the Wenhua Palace to announce the next action to his two confidants.
"The Beijing camp mobilized three thousand soldiers and horses to blockade the city of Beijing and cut off all connections with Liaodong. The Jin Yiwei searched the whole city and arrested the spies. Qi Meng planted hidden spies in the capital. Don't let any of them escape!"
Both Li Guozhen and Luo Yangxing hated Liaoyang Bo to the core. Seeing that the emperor was finally going to attack Liao Town, they were eager to try.
Li Guozhen was the first to say: "Your Majesty has been training his troops for thousands of days, and today is just the day to use them. Please lead the main force of the Beijing camp out of Shanhaiguan, capture all the thieves alive, and share your worries for Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, play with him, go out and fight all the thieves, why not let him in."
"I want to give Uncle Liaoyang a surprise."
"As for you," Zhu Youjian looked at Luo Yangxing, "all the people from the north and south town of Fusi went to the streets to arrest all the thieves and accomplices. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. They must catch them all at once. "
Luo Yangxing clasped his hands in his fists, determined to win: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have been monitoring them for a long time. We have set traps everywhere, just waiting to close them."
Yuan Tengqing objected: "In the end, it was my own people who used them badly. The Jin Yiwei made a small contribution to suppressing the rebellion. I will not give them a heavy reward when the bandits are crowned."
Zhu Youxiao, the king of Xin, retired from the palace every day to visit, and ordered Huo Weihua to present the "sacred water" to the emperor.
Qi Meng put his hands on his hands and smiled: "To put it bluntly, I don't have a divine machine camp, you don't have a true martial arts camp, I don't have a flange machine, and you don't have a red-coated cannon, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
In addition to regicide, killing his mother, and usurping the throne of his nephew, Zhu Youxiao's worst crime was murder.
~~~
Just as the emperor was about to attack the two of them, Qi Yingxiong reminded him: "Your Majesty, how should Yuan Tengqing deal with it?"
~~~
In any case, the life of the Prince Consort Yuan Chonghuan was saved. Now, I am under house arrest under a boat in Xiyuan. The boat is parked in the middle of the lake. Ming troops are guarding it on all sides. No food is delivered to the boat every day. , Yuan Chonghuan wants to escape from there, it is simply more difficult than climbing to heaven.
Liaoyang Bo originally hoped that the Ming court would comfort him and follow the example of Mu Yingshi who defended Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty, allowing him and a group of confidants to control Liaodong - at most, he would acquiesce in Liaodong's independent status.
On April 17, the seventh year of Chongzhen, Qi Meng, who was far away in Shenyang, was shocked when he received the news that the imperial court refused to withdraw from the vassal state.
The admiral of the capital camp pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, we must remove the roots. Since Uncle Liaoyang dares to rebel, my son can stay."
The translation of the message is as follows (excerpt):

Ma Shiying laughed: "Entering the Pass in July? Governor Yuan is so sure that he will win this battle? Will Wu Bagui surrender to you?"
Emperor Apocalypse Cheng'en came to the throne at the age of eighteen and served as emperor for one year. He died of illness at the age of 23. Emperor Apocalypse's last eight children all died early. Before my death, I had a premonition of the conspiracy of Zhu Youxiao and others. In order to avoid the seventh The prince (Zhu Cimiao) was killed by an adulterer again, so he ordered the palace servant Yang Yue to send the seventh prince out of the palace to raise him.
On April 14, the seventh year of Chongzhen, Liaoyang Bo launched an army to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. He killed Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and arrested 74 obedient officials above the rank of inspector. He issued a proclamation claiming that he was "formerly the chief military officer guarding Liaodong, and now he is serving as the president." The little marshal of heaven, water and land, the little general of peace."

Yuan Teng was worried.
However, God's sake, the prince escaped, but the emperor himself did not escape from the clutches of the thief.
Faced with the attitude of Kang Yingqian and others from the main war faction, Wei Zhongxian, the main war faction, looked calm and decisive:
"Miscellaneous Examinations of Strange Diseases" records that it is believed to be a kind of poison hidden in the water. When a person drinks such water, the poison will retreat into the human body, and the person will get sick or even die. That was also the real reason for Emperor Tianqi's death.
When I lost my temper, I was like a mad dog that had broken free of its chains. I lost all my humanity and rationality. I looked like the son of Emperor Guangzong. There was no rumor that I was an illegitimate son. Chongzhen was so disgusted that he invited his ministers to Jinluan Highness to tell us. He bowed and saluted, and said: "Thank you, gentlemen, please help you govern the country." Then he got angry and used a firecracker to blow half of the "gentlemen's" heads off. The scene and his blood type...
Wei Zhongxian glanced at everyone, turned around, saluted Qi Meng, and continued:
Qi Meng saw that Wei Zhongxian was not confident, so he asked me: "According to Mr. Yuan's opinion, when can we enter the pass? When can we pacify the sky and save all people?"
The false emperor Chongzhen reigned for seven years, and his only ability was to plunder the common people. In Shaanxi and Shanxi, tens of millions of people died in battles rather than starving to death alive.
The battle of entering the customs begins with you. Kang Yingqian advised: "Zhu Youxiao has newly trained 40,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp. They have double combat power. They have been defeated once in ten years. Now I act under the banner of the imperial court and take advantage of the rule of law. Although you don't have ten elite soldiers, Uncle Liaoyang, Wan, the outcome is unknown. Besides, the reason why Liaodong is today's Liaodong is not only because we support the invaders, but more importantly, there is no Shanhaiguan defense line. Wu Bagui defied you, but now the emperor is fighting, who does the Wu family fall to? It’s decided,”
The memorandum was printed and sent to the eighteen provinces of Beijing, Annan, Korea, Japan, and old generals from various places. It was also sent to the southeast pirate Zheng Chenggong, the southwest chieftain, the Miao people, Chahar Mongolian Burni, and Qinghai Mergentai. Ji and other tribesmen responded to the invitation.
"As far as I know, Prince Consort Qi was born to Uncle Liaoyang and the Yang family. Yang died early, and Yuan Chonghuan became Uncle Liaoyang's weakness. If someone kills him, he becomes a weakness. I think that killing is like this. , keep it, it may not be of any use in the future.”
Yuan Tengqing made a calculation with his fingers: "Shangguan received the Liaoyang Bert certificate, and I would like to take advantage of it. In July, I can enter the customs, and it can be determined by heaven in ten years."
Li Guozhen was worried about whether Wang Chengen would have a backer before his death, so he devoted himself to praying for the emperor's blessing and longevity.
Qi Yingxiong and Zhu Youjian also agreed. Zhu Youjian said: "If you kill Yuan Chonghuan, the scholars in the sky will think that you, Xiao Ming, are afraid of Liaodong. How dare the soldiers on the back line risk their lives..."
"If Zhu Youxiao takes all of the following eight taboos for military strategists, how can I be defeated?"
The strange disease called "Water Poison" that Zhu Youxiao saw under "Miscellaneous Examination of Strange Diseases" is not a sharp snail placed outside the water tank without the "sacred water" I mentioned. , so the quality of the water changes. After drinking that kind of water, the person will gradually become bloated, have a sallow complexion and become thin, which will be difficult to treat by miracle doctors, until death.
"Luo Yangxing, how does he think he should deal with it?"
I said many beautiful and emotional words, but they were all words and words of truth. I favored the eunuch Qi Yingxiong and killed Li Guozhen, who was praised by people. This further proved the tyrant's "knowing people and being good at their duties." "
Yuan Chonghuan is seventy this year. Thanks to the gift of his father, Bo Qimeng of Liaoyang, I am now the youngest Crown Prince and Tutor in the history of Xiaoming.
Qi Meng drew his sword and chopped off his face and then played a song: "The officials will never make peace again, this is the same!"
This is the first time that a time traveler has faced a time traveler. What’s even more terrible is that he completely knows which branch of the technological tree the other party has climbed on, and maybe he has no small weapons hidden all the time...
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and tried to overcome all opinions.
"Please allow me to analyze Chapter 17 for you. First, assuming that the pass is now stable and Chongzhen has no time to think about it, I dare to go out to fight with your army. Is it possible that the Jingying company's cavalry battle is weaker than your army? Seventh, The bandits have not been completely suppressed. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the northwest are very powerful, which is a small problem for Zhu Youxiao. Eighth, in the winter, when you are here, the soldiers from the Central Plains travel through mountains and rivers to Liaodong. The water and soil are poor, and they are bound to suffer from diseases. "
However, contrary to my expectations, Yuan Tengqing actually agreed to the request to withdraw from the feudal vassal.
One day in July of the first year of the Apocalypse, the emperor and the eunuch were rowing and playing in the Taiye Pool. As a result, a gust of wind capsized the boat. Wang Chengen fell into the water. In July, the water temperature in the capital was still quite low. Although Yuan Tengqing was rescued, So he caught a cold and became ill. Before, my health was getting worse day by day. Huo Weihua, then Minister of the Ministry of War, donated an "elixir" called "Linglu Drink". It tasted sweet and very delicious. Wang Chengen drank it every day. As a result, he gradually became edematous. Until you get up from bed.
Wei Zhongxian clasped his fists and said, "Shangguan is willing to fight a bloody battle for Liaoyang Bo, even if I die, I'm afraid Liaoyang Bo will be suspicious."
"What you all said makes sense. It's just that although Yuan Tengqing is the emperor, he is actually a thief. He has raised taxes for eight years, raped the bones and sucked out the marrow. There have been seven civil uprisings in Shaanxi and Gansu. I am not considered a saint, just a street boy! Look at Liaoyang Bo, who is wise and powerful. , A man of great talent and a small strategy, he clung to the land thousands of miles away in Liaodong, fought with blood, and became more and more courageous the more he fought. Now that the army is well-prepared and the talents are abundant, it is the time to lead the troops into the pass to save the people. The thieves have come, I didn’t come here to die!”
He supported the "Seventh Prince Zhu" (Zhu Cimiao, the seventh son of Wang Cheng'en) as Emperor Longwu, and announced 41 crimes including the murder of his brother and his mother by Wang Cheng'en.
Do you think there is no room for peace talks with Liaoyang Boliu? Or retain the bottom line of travelers?
It is known what considerations the time traveler had in deciding to kill Qi Meng's son for the time being.
"Yuan Chonghuan?" Yuan Tengqing smiled warmly, "I almost forgot the most important person."
In the first year of Chongzhen, Princess Changping married Yuan Chonghuan, the son of Bo Cun of Liaoyang, and Yuan Chonghuan became the consort of the Xiao Ming Dynasty. Because the Ming court was not wary of Liaoyang Bocun, through political marriage, Yuan Chonghuan stayed in the capital as the consort of Liaoyang Bo, and was actually a hostage of the imperial court. In the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign, Yuan Chonghuan was awarded the eighth grade of viscount. In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, Duobao served as the crown prince's Taibao. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, there were many Fus in the Jin Dynasty who were also the Crown Prince and Taifu.
