Chapter 246 Execution! Hang Yuan Chonghuan!
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zu Dashou and the others in astonishment, and stared at the gleaming knife drawn out by his servant, and was stunned for a long while.
"You guys betrayed me?!"
Yuan Chonghuan asked a question accordingly.
Zu Dashou smiled and said: "Zhongcheng, there is no betrayal here, we are also acting under the order of the Great Sima."
"Junling! He, Lu Xiangsheng, is ungrateful to you. Why do you recognize him as a great Sima now and obey his Junling?! If you do this, which scholar-bureaucrat will dare to trust you in the future?!"
Yuan Chonghuan asked angrily.
Zu Dashou said: "What Zhongcheng said is wrong. Our Guan Ning soldiers, in the final analysis, are also soldiers of the imperial court, and they eat the emperor's food. There is no need for the officials to trust us. As courtiers, we naturally only know how to listen. An order from the imperial court. Da Sima is His Majesty's Minister of the Ministry of War, who controls the generals in the world, how can we not obey his orders?"
Yuan Chonghuan became even more angry when he heard this, and was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand at Zu Dashou on the spot, pointing at Zu Dashou: "Your Zu Dashou forgot your roots! You betrayed Ben Fu! You turned around and wanted to take Ben Fu's head at him Uncle Zhang Guo sold well. Don’t forget, who supported you to make it to this day!”
"It's the imperial court! It's the people of the world! There are millions of Liao's salary every year, so it can't be said that it was donated by your Yuan family, Yuan Fuyuan."
Zhang Guowei came out to ask a question.
Zu Dashou also nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is correct. We Liao soldiers and Liao generals are not your private soldiers in Yuan Fuyuan. We are soldiers raised by the imperial court. Only by betraying the imperial court can we forget our roots."
In Zu Dashou's view, he and civil servants like Yuan Chonghuan are just using each other.
He can betray Yuan Chonghuan, just like the former civil servant Wang Xianggan betrayed Zhang Cunren.
Yuan Chonghuan was speechless, but at this moment, he could only admit defeat.
He knew that people like Zu Dashou would not really listen to him, but he just didn't expect that he would be betrayed so soon. You know, the Tartar army and the uncle Zhang Gui's army have not yet won lose it.
In fact, what Yuan Chonghuan didn't know was that although Zhang Gui's army and the Tazi's army had not yet decided the victory or defeat, Zu Dashou and others had already begun to think about their own retreat. No matter how willing he was to be tied to a chariot with people like Yuan Chonghuan, once Zhang Gui sent someone to persuade him to betray Yuan Chonghuan and make meritorious service, he would agree without any rejection.
Although he did want to support the bandits, he was more concerned about whether he could continue to be an official in Daming.
It is very important for people like Zu Dashou to have a staff.
Historically, he surrendered and became a slave in order to give up the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, but he hesitated many times after diving, which shows how much he cares about the establishment given to him by the orthodox court.
As for now he has to cooperate with Zhang Gui to wipe out all the Tartars who entered the pass, which will make the Tartars weak in the future, which is not conducive to his self-respect.
In Zu Dashou's view, he can definitely increase his efforts to support bandits after the Tartars are weak, just like Li Chengliang did back then, and maybe he can raise another Nurhachi.
So, Zu Dashou decisively chose to switch to Zhang Gui and Lu Xiangsheng.
Yuan Chonghuan couldn't say anything about this.
Next, he was escorted to Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui looked at Yuan Chonghuan, and smiled faintly: "Yuan Yuanyuan, why are you making such a big battle? Others will not mess with this supervisor if they can, but you, you must do it! Could it be that you still expect Guan Ning's soldiers to rebel for you? If you can use Guan Ning's soldiers to force His Majesty, this supervisor can use Guan Ning's soldiers to force you into a trap!"
Yuan Chonghuan raised his head and said: "I have nothing to say about success and defeat. But Uncle Zhang Guo, what you just said is correct. Yuan can't really expect Guan Ningbing to fight against the court for Yuan, but you are the same, too. You can't expect Guan Ning's soldiers to really rebel for you, not just Guan Ning's soldiers, but also the guards around you, once you can't give them benefits, you are nothing!"
"You don't need to say anything. You can have today, probably because of yourself, don't just think about blaming others."
Zhang Gui said: "Prepare the car, I will take him back to the city to meet His Majesty, and I will hand it over to Da Sima for unified command."
As he spoke, Lu Xiang bid farewell to Zhang Gui after being promoted.
After Zhang Gui returned to the capital, Zhu Youxiao greeted Zhang Gui in person at Daming Gate.
"Not only is he cooperating with the enemy, but he also coerces the enemy into self-respect, threatening me to hand over the crown prince to Confucian officials!"
Tianqi glanced at Yuan Chonghuan and said.
When he learned that Zhang Gui had returned to the capital, Tian Qi swept away his previous depressed mood, and knew that Yuan Chonghuan would not be able to threaten him again.
But what Tianqi didn't expect was that Zhang Gui also arrested Yuan Chonghuan.
After hearing Zhang Guikou say that Zu Dashou had exposed him, he naturally guessed that Yuan Chonghuan was arrested because Guan Ningbing betrayed Yuan Chonghuan.
As an emperor who has seen wind and rain, Tian Qi is not surprised by this.
Humans, this is how they were used to use the past.
Yuan Chonghuan could use Guan Ningbing to force him to hand over the prince to Confucian officials, and Zhang Gui could also use Guan Ningbing to get Yuan Chonghuan arrested.
Yuan Chonghuan only glanced at Ye Chengxue here.
He knew that this time he and Jiangnan Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong and others failed because of two reasons. One was that Ye Chengxue would betray him, and the other was that his uncle Zhang Gui was not murdered successfully.
So, Yuan Chonghuan stared at Ye Chengxue at this time.
Because Zhang Gui was not murdered successfully, it can also be said that Zhang Gui was lucky.
But Ye Chengxue turned against the water, so that they were really put together by Ye Chengxue.
"Yuan Chonghuan, I don't think I'll give you the death penalty because of your lack of merit and suffering in Liaodong these years, but in fact, based on what you did with Jiannu and the Mongols in private, I won't be wronged if I kill you !"
Tianqi spoke and said: "Decree, keep Yuan Chonghuan's whole body and hang him."
Yuan Chonghuan, who was standing in the cage, said after hearing this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Next, Yuan Chonghuan didn't say anything.
He couldn't say anything more, after all, he did all of this by himself.
So, shortly after this, Yuan Chonghuan was wrapped around his neck by a rope.
At this moment, he began to feel fear, and realized that what he did before was indeed too ignorant of boundaries and awe, so that he was too publicized, and he forgot what the consequences would be after the publicity.
"Execution!"
As the rope gets tighter.
He gradually felt difficulty breathing, and finally lost consciousness, and no longer attached to fame and fortune.
Many civil servants felt very sorry for Yuan Chonghuan's experience, because they knew Yuan Chonghuan's purpose was to let the civil government continue to dominate the direction of Ming Dynasty and let Ming Dynasty protect the interests of scholar-bureaucrats to the greatest extent.
Now, Yuan Chonghuan, the great official of the frontier, and the honored nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, because of colluding with the emperor's close ministers, tartars, etc., the action plan to murder the uncle of the country and force the emperor to let the prince go out of the cabinet to study failed, so he ended up today.
Therefore, these civil servants sympathized with Yuan Chonghuan in their hearts, but also because of this, they were very dissatisfied with Ye Chengxue's behavior of defection or deliberate fishing.
"This kind of influence is very bad! Very bad! How could he, Ye Chengxue, be untrustworthy, how could he play with scholar-bureaucrats like this! In this way, how dare future planners trust their accomplices!"
Xinbu University scholar Lai Zongdao said Ye Chengxue through gritted teeth in front of University scholar Li Guopu.
Li Guopu said: "George, please calm down, Ye Chengxue did this after he got the consent of his servant."
"What?!"
Lai Zongdao stood up in surprise: "Mr. Ge, how can you?"
