"Yuan Chonghuan is back?"
Chongzhen put down the memorial and his eyes were shocked.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Arrange a place for him and let him rest first. The same will happen tomorrow morning."
Wang Chengen responded and left.
A trace of amusement flashed in Chongzhen's eyes. He was no longer black and white when he first traveled through time.
For Yuan Chonghuan, a controversial figure in later generations, he only looked at the facts before him and what had happened.
If he really found out something among the nine historical crimes, he would have no choice but to kill him.
If not, he will always give a chance to those who are capable.
In other words, Yuan Chonghuan's life and death is in his own hands.
Yuan Chonghuan is like this, Mao Wenlong, Wu Sangui, etc. are like this.
Early the next morning, the officials waiting to go to court at the Meridian Gate suddenly discovered Yuan Chonghuan and were shocked.
Everyone speculated why the number one person in Liaodong came back at this time.
Sun Chengzong glanced at Yuan Chonghuan, then looked at Yuan Keli beside him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liqing, look at it later, I have been feeling a little uneasy!"
Yuan Keli nodded, then looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and the old monk began to enter concentration.
But Sun Chengzong was even more anxious. To a certain extent, he was Yuan Chonghuan's teacher.
If he hadn't single-handedly promoted Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan wouldn't know where he would be at this moment!
But with his current status, he didn't even dare to say a word to Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan came back to visit him last night, but he refused.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the bell above the Meridian Gate rang, and the civil and military officials entered through their respective doors and then entered the Huangji Palace.
The British Duke was in charge of Shanhaiguan, Cheng Guogong was in confinement, and Wei Guogong was guarding Nanjing. Among the military attaches at the moment, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, was naturally headed.
After the ministers saluted, Chongzhen still retreated from the court with the original instructions but without the original instructions.
Now the ministers have figured out the emperor's temper. If the ministries can solve it, they must not bring it up in the court meeting, otherwise they will be easily criticized.
Don't mention congratulations, the emperor doesn't like it. If you want to mention it, just mention people's livelihood plans, emergency military situations, etc.
The ministers turned their attention to Yuan Chonghuan, the leader of the generals. When he came back, there must be something important.
"Your Majesty, I have a script to start with!"
"Accurate!"
"Your Majesty, what I am reporting is about the Karaqin tribe buying grain from our Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong frowned suddenly, looking at Yuan Chonghuan with helpless eyes.
Sun Chengzong immediately said: "Master Yuan, I remember that the edict given to you a few days ago was very clear.
The Haraqin tribe has surrendered to the Jiannu. Selling grain at this moment is to support the enemy. The cabinet and His Majesty have already decided on this matter. What else is there to mention? "
"Mr. Sun Ge, I have a different view!"
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head and looked at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Haraqin tribe was forced to join the Jiannu because it was attacked by the Jiannu.
Now that the Guanning Defense Line is able to resist the Jiannu, why do the Kalaqin tribe dare to join the Jiannu?
If grain is not sold to the Haraqin tribe now, then the Haraqin tribe will completely turn to Jiannu and serve as a guide for Jiannu. The consequences will be disastrous.
My suggestion is to sell grain to the Karaqin tribe. This is a strategy to pacify the Western captives and control the Eastern barbarians. Your Majesty, please think twice. "
"Master Yuan, I would like to ask you, how can you guarantee that the Haraqin tribe will not secretly send the slaves to Jiannu?"
"What kind of guarantee? Is it a guarantee letter from the Karaqin tribe, or is it the head on your neck?
If this happens, what use will your head be worth? "
"If the Haraqin tribe secretly established slaves, then the imperial court investigated the eight major locust merchants and cut off the materials for establishing slaves, and then issued three targeted measures to fundamentally cut off the space for the growth of slaves. Why is the imperial court so troublesome? "
"Also, there is a problem with your logic. We rescue the Kalaqin tribe from the perspective of benevolence, justice and morality. If you want to be grateful, just be grateful. If you are not grateful, forget it.
What do you mean if we don't help them, we owe them something? Are they going to become our enemies?
If that's the case, it's better to just kill them! "
"Master Yuan, you have to remember that since the Kalaqin tribe can submit to Jiannu once, it can submit to Jiannu a second time."
Yuan Keli was not Sun Chengzong, and he was still worried about his love for incense, so he directly attacked him.
Yuan Chonghuan's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect that Yuan Keli would be so disrespectful, and he actually said four or five sentences in a row.
"Mr. Yuan Ge, I cannot completely guarantee whether the Kalaqin tribe will be sold to Jiannu, but I have a compromise!"
Without waiting for Yuan Keli to speak, Yuan Chonghuan said solemnly: "I can use the method of exchanging rations for food!"
"The specific strategy is to find out how many tribes there are, and calculate the amount of food and allow them to exchange rice so that they can only meet their own needs.
This not only helped the Eastern Mongolian tribes and occupied the commanding heights of benevolence and righteousness, but also prevented them from funding the establishment of slaves. "
"Master Yuan, I have heard that the price of food within the Haraqin tribe and the Jiannu tribe is now relatively high. You are so determined to sell food. Could it be that you have played some disgraceful role in it?"
Zhang Tingdeng's words directly made Yuan Chonghuan's excited face darken.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I am doing everything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I can let the Jin Yiwei investigate thoroughly!"
Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who had a gloomy expression, and was speechless.
He didn't know why Yuan Chonghuan was so persistent and insisted on selling grain to the Haraqin tribe.
Is it true that as later generations of scholars have said, the commercial power behind Donglin and the commercial power behind Liaodong Jiangmen,
It is even possible that Mao Wenlong was killed to help the forces behind him monopolize Liaodong's commercial interests.
No matter what kind of speculation it is, you must not sell grain to the Haraqin tribe, otherwise your strategy of forcing the Jiannu to enter the customs in advance will fail.
So, he said calmly: "Yuan Aiqing, the matter of the Haraqin tribe selling grain is settled. There is no need to fight anymore. I have said that I will kill anyone who dares to sell grain privately!"
Without waiting for Yuan Chonghuan to defend himself again, Chongzhen continued: "I called you back because I want to hear about your Ping Liao affairs!"
All the officials in the court suddenly became energetic and looked at Yuan Chonghuan with all their eyes, wanting to hear the strategy of Commander Yuan who killed Nurhachi.
Yuan Chonghuan suppressed the unwillingness in his eyes and immediately said in a deep voice: "If your Majesty can give me the right to act expediently, in five years the foreign troubles in Liaodong will be quelled, and the whole Liao can be restored!"
The hall was extremely quiet for a moment, and the eyes looking at Yuan Chonghuan were full of surprise.
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness, sadness, and anger in each other's eyes.
They really wanted to take Yuan Chonghuan aside and ask: I am asking you to offer peace to Liao Ce, not to seek death.
