Views:

Sun Chengzong did not answer, his face was covered with dark clouds, and the storm was about to come, but he pursed his mouth and stared at Yuan Chonghuan for a long time. Suddenly he sighed and said: "Yuan Chonghuan, by the way, you are my disciple, too My most proud disciple is also my most disappointed disciple."

"Master Sun..." Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's tears fell suddenly, but they quickly wiped away, and raised his head: "Master Sun, I have always abide by your teachings and think that even if I have had it, I will not have a big problem."

"No big offense?" The muscles on Sun Chengzong's face suddenly jumped, stood up, and said loudly, "Yuan Chonghuan, you are unforgivable!"

Yuan Chonghuan has always maintained a calm and indifferent expression, but at this moment, seeing his teacher, he seemed very excited, gritted his teeth and said: "How can I be unforgivable, Master Sun, I am not satisfied."

"That's good." Sun Chengzongku smiled and pointed to Lingyi's channel: "Ling Master once invited me to participate in the trial over and over again, but I refused to come, but after thinking about it, I came too, you Do you know why?"

Yuan Chonghuan shook his head.

"Because you have to confess your guilt." Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "This change of Osi, this encirclement disaster, but 80% of it is caused by you."

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he threw away Jin Yiwei and stood up, and said in a trembled voice: "Master Sun, I am not convinced."

Seeing the two masters and apprentices quarreling, everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, and whispered:

"It seems that Yuan Chonghuan attaches great importance to Lord Sun."

"Of course, Lord Sun is his teacher."

"The relationship between the two, how come Master Sun is willing to come? If you really want to kill his high disciple, I can't bear it."

"Did you not listen to Master Sun? He doesn't want to come, but he has to come after thinking about it."

"Then why?"

"You ask me, I ask who will go."

"I know you don't accept it." The muscles on Sun Chengzong's face were also trembling, his beard was tall, and he looked very excited: "I know you don't accept it, Yuan Chonghuan, but you will listen to me one by one." Suddenly he coughed quickly, and the people next to him saw him like this and hurriedly supported him.

"Master Sun, sit and say." Ling Yiqu on the other side hurriedly said.

Jin Yiwei next to him hurriedly helped Sun Chengzong sit down, and the entourage handed a cup of tea. Sun Chengzong took a sip and sighed, then slowly said: "You inherited my strategy, took the far distance outside the pass, and repelled Tanzi. Nurhachi, this is your contribution, and it is also what I admire about you."

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he said, "It's better to be taught by my teacher."

"But what?" Sun Chengzong's voice gradually became fierce, and his face staring at Yuan Chonghuan became gradually serious: "Liaoyuan is a great victory. You did a good job. Later, you were persecuted by Wei Zhongxian and returned to your hometown. This is the imperial court's grievance. You, however... What happened later?"

Suddenly, Sun Chengzong stood up to help the case and said sternly: "Yuan Chonghuan, do you ask yourself what the Lord did to you?"

Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback, blinked, opened his mouth, and finally said: "The Lord is so kind to me as a mountain."

"Follow?" Sun Chengzong said hey, and suddenly he supported the case, sat down slowly, took a long breath, looked at the three Ling Yiqu, now he is here, these three people are like sculptures, without saying a word, see Sun Chengzong Looking over, Ling Yiqu coughed and said: "What's the order of Master Sun?"

Before he finished his words, he saw Sun Chengzong pointing at them and facing Yuan Chonghuan: "You think... they are wronging you, right?"

"Yes." Yuan Chonghuan has always been stubborn. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "It is nonsense to say that Yuan is conspiring to rebel!"

"Rebellion is indeed nonsense, but you are indeed unforgivable." Sun Chengzong said here, a touch of compassion appeared on his face: "I know you are not convinced. If I don't come today, you are afraid that you will continue to refuse. , So, I'm here today." He coughed and said, "Yuan Chonghuan, let me talk about your sin, can you take it?"

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, the stubbornness came up, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Sun, Yuan is not convinced, but he will listen to what his teacher said."

Sun Chengzong didn’t say much. He stared at Yuan Chonghuan’s face with gray and black eyes, and slowly said, "Your end is actually doomed from the very beginning... After the saint eliminated Wei Zhongxian, he devoted himself to innovation and enabled you. Thousands of miles recalled you from Guangdong, approached you personally, and didn't even do the interviews for Jinshi. You are allowed to do everything you need, and only ask you to calm Liaodong. At that time, the emperor asked you how long Liaodong can be peaceful. What is it?"

Yuan Chonghuan contemplated for a moment, his face turned red, and said: "Five years."

"Five years?" Sun Chengzong sneered: "You think the emperor is young, so foolish, right?"

The red on Yuan Chonghuan's face gradually turned into shame: "I... I was in a rush."

"At the moment?" Sun Chengzong suddenly furious: "Five years? Five years to calm Liaodong, if you don't know it, but you can be forgiven, but you have been in Liaodong for so many years, how can you do it in five years? That is ten years and twenty years. , It may not be possible, but in order to make the emperor happy, you casually responded to the two words for five years. These two words are doomed to you today."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said, "Master Sun, Yuan is not convinced."

"You are not convinced, are you?" Sun Chengzong snorted, "I say that you are unforgivable. The first is that you want to perfuse the emperor's heart."

Yuan Chonghuan's expression had always been indifferent but firm, but at this time it suddenly appeared a little confused. He was silent for a long time, and said, "Master Sun said that it was Yuan Mou reckless."

"Reckless?" Sun Chengzong suddenly patted the desk and said: "More than reckless? After you returned to Liaodong, what did you do? Discuss with Huang Taiji

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he seemed to sigh, and said, "Yuan has a clear conscience at this point."

"Have a clear conscience?" Sun Chengzong sneered, took out a stack of cases from his arms, and shook it at Yuan Chonghuan: "Do you recognize what this is?"

Yuan Chonghuan blinked: "This is Yuan's memorial."

"In this memorial, you admit that you negotiated a peace with Huang Taiji, and every time you negotiated a peace with Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji and you negotiated peace, while going to North Korea, while negotiating peace, while going to Mongolia, in a word, negotiating peace It's Huang Taiji's amulet, and what did you do when he shot North Korea?"

Yuan Chonghuan’s face was red and white, standing still for a while, and said: "Yuan... Yuan thinks that the Ming army is not good at field battles and can only take advantage of the city walls."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his stern face eased a little, and he stroked his beard and said, "I believe this too. The Ming army fought against the Man Qing Tartar, and it was almost defeated in all battles."

"That's the case." Yuan Chonghuan seemed to sighed: "I negotiated with Huang Taiji for this... Oh, the reason to please Mongolia is also for this reason. Mongolia is easily mixed with the Manchu Tartar. , So I sell military rations to Mongolia, so that Mongolia can have a good relationship with us."

"But it didn't work, did it?" Sun Chengzong said hehe, "During Qianer's siege, there were still Mongols in the Tarzi Soldiers, and the Horqin Ministry you handed in still served as an accomplice to Huang Taiji. ."

Yuan Chonghuan was startled, and finally nodded with a wry smile: "Master Sun said that Yuan did not do a good job."

Sun Chengzong snorted and said again; "If you didn't do these things well, I don't blame you, because we don't have the strength to let you go out of the city to fight the Manchus, almost defeated in all battles. This is a promotion. People are sent to death, but there is one thing that you should never do."

"What?" Yuan Chonghuan saw the teacher's face gloomy and terrible, suddenly realized something, and said: "Mao Wenlong, he..."

"Mao Wenlong doesn't matter what's wrong." Sun Chengzong interrupted Yuan Chonghuan's words completely: "You shouldn't kill him because of thousands of mistakes. Mao Wenlong has been entrenched in Dongjiang Town for many years, and his hands and feet are not clean and unwilling in places overseas. This is inevitable. We have guarded the Liaodong Supervisor for generations. No one knows that he is not clean, but none of us want to care. Why? With him behind, Huang Taiji would not dare to be fierce, you know?"

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he still said stubbornly: "But he doesn't obey the command..."

"Yes, you were killed because you kept commanding the two characters." Sun Chengzong frowned and scolded: "After you took office, you categorically killed Mao Wenlong in order to centralize power, didn't you?"

Yuan Chonghuan was choked for a while, nodded and admitted: "Yes.";

"How effective is it?" Sun Chengzong sneered: "Dongjiang Town is torn apart, and most of Mao Wenlong's subordinates have surrendered to Tarzi. You have personally broken off Huang Taiji's worries, what can you say?"

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, his face was as gray as death, and his straight waist was paused. He stared at Sun Chengzong for a long while, and said with a wry smile: "Master Sun, you are right. This time, all the mistakes were made by Yuan. Mao Wenlong should not be killed on a certain person."

Sun Chengzong sneered again and again, knocking on the table with the tea cup in his hand and "peddling" and said: "I know, you feel wronged. After you go back, you have to repair the wall on the Liaodong side to be strong, originally thinking of repeating it with Huang Taiji. The victory of the Liaodong Victory, as a result, because you killed Mao Wenlong, you gave Huang Taiji a chance to take advantage of it. Huang Taiji's surprise attack on Beijing caused this terrible change."

Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan was startled for a while, his face was a little sad: "Master Sun, do you think I caused this siege?"

Sun Chengzong sneered: "Isn't it?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other at the words, but no one said aloud. Probably the previous interrogation had some teasing and insulting meaning, but now the conversation between the master and the disciple is in expert language, so everyone held their breath and watched. .

"Are you dissatisfied?" Sun Chengzong said hey, knocking on the table with his hands, making a noise.
