Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 453 The Truth
Hai Lanzhu was unprepared, and Huang Taiji's old blood sprayed directly on her body, even on her face.Then, the whole person just limp there, motionless.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu was stunned, while the others were frightened, shouting "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" and rushed to save Huang Taiji.

Hai Lanzhu was pushed aside, staring blankly at everything in front of her, not wiping the blood on her face, but muttering to herself, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

A group of concubines outside the palace panicked when they heard the movement.Only Bumbutai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it.

Isn't the emperor absolutely unable to get angry anymore, so the effect this time should be very good, right?
After a long time, Huang Taiji finally came to his senses, but he was speechless.

At this time, the imperial doctor said in a very serious tone: "The emperor really can't be angry anymore!"

While speaking, he also knelt down to Huang Taiji, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing, I really can't vomit blood anymore!"

Everyone has seen the serious consequences of vomiting blood.

Huang Taiji looked at Hai Lanzhu, who was standing there blankly with tears streaming down his face, and sighed in his heart.

He did not blame Hai Lanzhu, but felt sorry for Hai Lanzhu, keeping him in the dark but not knowing.How could that Bumu Butai be such an outspoken person?As a sister, you don’t even know that she is taking advantage of you.

He wanted to deal with Bumbutai, but he knew that Hai Lanzhu would definitely stop him from begging for mercy.If he insisted on going his own way, Hai Lanzhu's body might not be able to bear it. He had to explain clearly to her, but he didn't have the energy.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji sighed again in his heart, thinking that he would wait until he recovered from the disease. At that time, with her Bu Mu Butai, she would not be able to turn out the palm of her hand no matter what.

Feeling very tired, Huang Taiji looked at Hai Lanzhu with a slight apology and pity, then closed his eyes.

When the eunuch on the side saw it, he started to drive people away. At this time, no one could affect Huang Taiji's rest.

Hai Lanzhu was no exception, she also left the palace, but she didn't seem to have come to her senses, her mind was full of the horror of Huang Taiji vomiting blood, she was lost, and she didn't know how to get back to her palace in the end.

As soon as the group of concubines left, the joint memorial in Chongzheng Hall was delivered.This matter was related to the state, and I couldn't afford to delay it, so I finally reported it to Huang Taiji.

Although Huang Taiji was seriously ill, he still had sense and knew that he must not be angry again.The most important thing for you is to take good care of your body first.

With this in mind, he made a decree that major affairs in the court would be discussed by several princes, and finally he would be reported to the imperial court. In addition, Dorgon was officially released and no longer had to be imprisoned in the clan's mansion, but he also had no real power. Just be able to participate in the proceedings.In addition, a decree was issued to summon Hauge, who had previously gone to the important town of Liaoyang to take charge, back to Shengjing.

After this decree was settled, the most important first thing for the Qing Dynasty was to call back Prince Li and the three thousand soldiers of the Qing army, and everything related to it was quickly prepared.

…………

To the north of Shengjing, on the Songliao Plain, where Tieling is located, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde was thrown here by Huang Taiji, and he was asked to open up wasteland and farm.

At this time, Kong Youde was alone in the lobby, looking blankly at the things placed on the table.

After a long time, he suddenly murmured to himself: "I didn't expect you to really want to go back to Daming, alas, I really didn't expect it!"

That's right, the thing on the case table was Geng Zhongming's head that Huang Taiji had specially sent over for him to see.

Although Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde complained a lot when they got together in private, Kong Youde never thought that Geng Zhongming would really want to go back to Daming?Didn't I say that Da Qing gave a king with a different surname, but Daming didn't get this kind of treatment at all.

Slowly reaching out and touching Geng Zhongming's head, Kong Youde sighed and said: "You are so stupid! How can it be so easy to return to the Ming Dynasty? It doesn't mean whether the emperor will settle the accounts afterwards. Just after returning, How can the two of us cope with the impeachment attack by those imperial censors? You know, the firearms of the Qing Dynasty were brought here by the two of us!"

Geng Zhongming's head remained motionless, only Kong Youde was talking to himself.

"Although I dreamed about Mao Shuai and the others, I didn't want to go back to the Ming Dynasty because of this, right? When I meet Mao Shuai one day, maybe Mao Shuai will also be very resentful towards the Ming Dynasty! He has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong all his life. In the end, he died at the hands of his own people.”

"The emperor has taken away your title, so at least you can have enough food and clothing. Just farm, and you don't have to fight in battle. What's wrong with that?"

"Aren't you the most rational person all along? Why do you suddenly want to go back to Ming Dynasty?"

"..."

Huang Taiji sent Geng Zhongming's head over to warn him, of course he would not tell him the details.Just tell him that Geng Zhongming tried to betray Daqing, so he was killed!

Facing Geng Zhongming's head, Kong Youde said a lot, and then, thinking about the last meeting, the scene of the two saying goodbye, he didn't expect that it was really the last meeting, and when they met again, life and death were separated.

From now on, there will be no brother in the world with whom I can speak my mind!

Thinking of this, Kong Youde's tears came down, and he cried silently, only when there was no one in the hall!After a while, Geng Zhongming's head will be displayed on the city wall for three days.

Of course Kong Youde was not stupid and knew what Huang Taiji meant by sending Geng Zhongming's head.However, he had no intention of betraying the Manchus, so he did not feel panic, just sad.

He knew that there must be eyes and ears of Huang Taiji in the city, watching his reaction.It's been long enough now to stop moving.

"What happened this time was because you were impulsive! No matter what, it is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty who pays more attention to us after all. A scholar dies for his confidant. I hope you will be reincarnated in the Taiping Era in the next life!"

After saying this, Kong Youde no longer hesitated and issued an order to hang Geng Zhongming's head on the top of the city to show the public.

Kong Youde's subordinates also felt complicated after seeing Geng Zhongming's head.They couldn't figure out why Geng Zhongming wanted to betray Daqing. Isn't it good to be in Daqing?Is it really true that you serve your enemy and your conscience can't bear it?

For this, they do not believe.In this kind of troubled times, those with a conscience would have died long ago, and those who broke out from the sea of ​​blood and corpses, who cares about this.When you have a dream, it is considered a nightmare. When you wake up, you can do whatever you want, and you will live like this!
When I was in the Ming Dynasty, I used my life to work for the imperial court and fought against Jianlu, but the imperial court never paid attention to it?If it weren't for Marshal Mao, I'm afraid they would all starve to death. Haha, the troops who are fighting for the imperial court are going to starve to death. It's really the funniest joke in the world!

When Geng Zhongming returns to the Ming Dynasty, even if the court does not pursue his betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, will he still be prosperous and wealthy?Can I still keep my fate and settle the score later?

Geng Zhongming, how stupid!

Most of the people from the former Dongjiang Army in Tieling City had this idea, and no one thought of betraying the Qing Dynasty like Geng Zhongming!
A few days later, several fast horses came galloping over.Wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, one could tell at a glance that he was someone from the palace.

Ever since Huang Taiji sent Geng Zhongming's head over, he knew that he was very dissatisfied with him. Kong Youde knew this well, so when he heard that a yellow jacket was coming, he didn't dare to be sloppy, and rushed to the gate of the city immediately.In normal times, with his different surname Wang Zhizun, there is no need to welcome him out of the city just because of a few palace guards.

At this time, Kong Youde didn't have the consciousness of a king with a different surname at all. When he saw the yellow jacket approaching, he quickly smiled and greeted him regardless of the dust blowing towards his face.

Unexpectedly, the leader in the yellow mantle didn't care about him. He just raised his head, pointed his hand and said loudly: "Quick, take it off quickly!"

Kong Youde heard the sound and saw that he was referring to Geng Zhongming's head. He thought that Huang Taiji had specially sent them over to check whether the head belonged to Geng Zhongming, so he quickly explained: "The emperor is famous, and the humble minister would never dare No. That head is indeed Geng Zhongming's."

The subordinates behind him also nodded quickly to prove that the head was indeed Geng Zhongming's.

However, the yellow mandarin jacket ignored Kong Youde's explanation at all, his expression was still a little anxious, and he shouted sharply: "Didn't you hear that? Take it off quickly!"

A mere guard went berserk in front of a prince.However, Kong Youde had no choice but to ask the people on the top of the city to untie the rope and lower it.

When the man in the yellow mantle saw him, he immediately jumped off his horse, and in a few steps he reached the box where the head was placed. He picked up the box and began to look at it.

It has been many days since Geng Zhongming's head was sent from Phoenix Castle to Shengjing and then to Tieling.Although the weather was cold and it had been treated with lime, it still couldn't see its original appearance.

At this sight, Huang Magua's brows wrinkled, and he immediately turned to Kong Youde and said, "This is Geng Zhongming's head, right?"

Sure enough, he came to check the head, Kong Youde said in his heart, then nodded quickly: "It is indeed!"

"Okay, then write a letter to ensure that this is Geng Zhongming's head!" Huang MaGua immediately ordered after hearing this.

As soon as he said this, Kong Youde became a little stupid. He didn't expect that he was asked to write a letter to prove it. How much he didn't believe him!

As the saying goes, clay figurines have three tempers.Kong Youde was unreasonably suspected by Huang Taiji, so he was transferred from the front line of Jinzhou to farm in Tieling in the rear. His good brother was first deprived of the king's title, and then lost his life. He even sent his head to him. is impossible.

At this time, he repeatedly explained that this was Geng Zhongming's head, and so many of his subordinates also proved that it was Geng Zhongming's head. However, the palace guard still didn't believe it. Did he really think that he could bully him casually?
So, Kong Youde took off his official hat at once, exposed his tail of money, and straightened his neck and replied: "Whenever I, Kong, has lied to someone, I have repeatedly stated that I still don't believe it, so this prince is wrong. Please return this crown to the emperor, and say that I, Kong, are incompetent and can no longer be the prince of the Qing Dynasty!"

The yellow mantle was stunned by what he said, and soon came to his senses that there was a misunderstanding, so he quickly explained: "My lord misunderstood, it's not that the emperor doesn't believe you. The letter you wrote is for the Ming emperor to read." Yes, let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty believe that this head belongs to Geng Zhongming!"

"..." Upon hearing these words, it was like listening to a heavenly book. Although they understood the literal meaning, Kong Youde and the others were so stupid that they couldn't understand the meaning at all!
After a long while, Kong Youde came back to his senses, and questioned with a puzzled face: "You mean, this head is going to be sent to the Ming Dynasty? It is to tell the Ming Emperor that Geng Zhongming betrayed the Qing Dynasty and has already been sent to the Ming Dynasty Is Qing Chu dead?"

Huang MaGua reckoned that if he didn't explain clearly, Kong Youde would keep asking questions.Indeed, if people who don't know about this matter hear it, they will definitely not believe it.

Therefore, he immediately replied: "No, the Ming Emperor led the army to capture Jinzhou and wanted to exchange the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers in exchange for the bodies of Chen Shaozong's mother, Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao!"

"Ah..." This voice came from Kong Youde and his subordinates almost at the same time.

For them, this news was more unbelievable than the news they had just heard about writing a letter to the Ming Emperor to prove that the head belonged to Geng Zhongming: the Ming Emperor led the army to capture Jinzhou, and wanted to use Prince Li and the Third Prince. The lives of thousands of Qing soldiers were exchanged for Chen Shaozong's mother, Geng Zhongming's corpse and Geng Jimao!
This... this... how is this possible!
Who is Geng Zhongming, who is Chen Shaozong, and that Geng Jimao, for Kong Youde and others, don't be too familiar with them, naturally you know how important they are?

In their view, Prince Li Daishan alone is worth far more than these three people.What's more, there are still three thousand Qing soldiers!How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty exchange the lives of Prince Li and three thousand Qing soldiers in exchange for these three people, and one of them was still dead!
To be honest, even though they heard everything clearly, they still found it unbelievable and couldn't believe it.

Seeing their appearance, Huang Magua had no choice but to explain: "Geng Zhongming was originally ordered to lure the Dongjiang Army ashore, but he turned out to be a fake and really wanted to betray the Qing Dynasty. His son Geng Jimao found out and reported him and died, and then he could only Chen Shaozong's mother was detained and asked to continue to lure the Dongjiang Army ashore. As a result, the Dongjiang Army did not come and Jinzhou fell. The three thousand cavalry army was wiped out. Prince Li and the remaining three thousand Qing soldiers were captured by the Ming army. Subsequently , the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made this exchange request."

At this point, it was almost time to explain, and the yellow mantle stressed: "It concerns the life of Prince Li, and the fate of Prince Heshuocheng. We must not fail to meet the requirements of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! You are Geng Zhongming's best brother, Hurry up and write a letter to prove it!"

Kong Youde was a little confused. He didn't expect that the truth of the matter was like this.While he was shocked, he didn't even notice why it was Yue Tuo's request and not Huang Taiji's request.
