Chongzhen had indeed issued an imperial edict to summon Jiang Feng into the palace to meet the emperor, but it was not because Wu Sangui had been arrested.
Instead, the situation at the border was tense.
Less than two hours after he fell asleep, just as Wu Sangui was about to catch Qian Longxi, an urgent report from the border was sent to the capital. It entered the palace and was delivered to Chongzhen's desk.
Huang Taiji led 100,000 troops to Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places, threatening the Central Plains.
Yu Shi couldn't sleep anymore.
After reading the urgent report at the border, he looked at the map and issued an edict that night. Xuan Jiangfeng, Minister of War Wei Zaode, and Shi Kefa entered the palace to discuss the Qing Dynasty.
Master, it's already the fourth watch."
Wang Chengen didn't sleep either. This miserable eunuch held the lanterns around the palace one after another and waved the horsetail whisk.
"Wu Sangui's drinking and causing trouble must have been Jiang Feng's idea. If it wasn't for the fact that the war was tense, I really wanted to kill him.”
Chongzhen felt like his head was about to explode. He took a few deep breaths and said coldly,"In my opinion, ten Wei Zongxian's are not as terrifying as one Jiang Feng. This person was young, but he was skilled in psychological attacks. If this continued, his wings would probably be even more terrifying than the Donglin Party.”
"Suppressing Li Zicheng, maybe he got lucky.”
Wang Chengen poured hot water and brought it to Chongzhen. He smiled and said,""If you really have the ability, this time, if you can wipe out the Manqing wild boar skin, then you will have done a great service for Master.”
"Zhen…this Emperor is truly cowardly.”
Chongzhen shook his head tiredly and pressed his finger on the map.""Without Wu Sangui at the border, just Hong Chengchou alone would be a disaster.”
"Your Majesty, Minister of War Shi and Minister Wei have arrived…"
Just as he was speaking, a eunuch's voice came from outside the hall.
"Come in."
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Shi Kefa and Wei Zaode, who were wrapped in official robes, rushed in from outside the door.
The two of them, like Jiang Feng, thought that Wu Sangui had summoned them because he was causing trouble. As soon as they entered the door, they scrambled to express their stance.
"Your Majesty, that Wu Sangui listened to Jiang Feng's slanderous words and drank too much to arrest an official of the court. This matter cannot be forgiven…"
Wei Zaode had also narrowly escaped death. When he was grabbed by Wu Sangui, he had almost been slashed by his saber.
She was on fire.
Shi Kefa frowned and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, I don't think Commander Wu has any ill intentions…"
"Enough."
Chong Zhen interrupted the two of them with a constipated expression and almost cursed. He waved his hand impatiently and said,"I didn't summon you here for this matter.”
"Um…"
The two of them were stunned and raised their heads in surprise.
"Jiang Feng hasn't arrived yet?"
Chongzhen was very anxious. He knew that any delay here would increase the danger at the border.
"Your Majesty, when I entered the palace just now, I didn't see Duke Ji.”
Wei Zaode seized the opportunity and quickly added,"Presumably…he hasn't woken up yet."
"Duke Ji, why are you so late? His Majesty is waiting inside…"
Before he could finish speaking, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the door.
In the next second, the door opened and Jiang Feng rushed in breathlessly. He looked anxious."Your Majesty, Wu Sangui has an army of his own, he deserves to be killed!”
These words confused everyone.
Wei Zaode's eyes widened as he looked at Jiang Feng in surprise.
Chong Zhen frowned even more. Although he did not want to talk about this matter, he had heard that Wu Sangui had gone out to cause trouble after drinking at Jiang Feng's house. In the end, Jiang Feng's words made the Emperor curious.
"Oh?"
Chongzhen put on airs and said expressionlessly,"Minister Jiang, why don't you tell me, how did Commander Wu command his troops?”
"Your Majesty, you might not know…"
Jiang Feng was excited. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over."Your Majesty, please take a look. This was personally written by Wu Sangui after he was drunk. He once said that the Donglin Party in the court is a great threat to the country. He wants to eliminate the side of the emperor. First, he will kill Qian Longxi, then Chen Yan, and the Minister of War, Wei…"
Before he could finish, Jiang Feng looked up and saw Wei Zaode's terrified face. He quickly said,""Eh? Lord Wei, you're here too. Thank goodness. I was worried that Lord Wei wouldn't live long, so I wanted to report this to His Majesty…"
“……”
Shameless.
He was so f * cking shameless.
What was sanctimonious? What was extreme hypocrisy?
They had finally seen it.
Even a fool would know that you were the one who instigated Wu Sangui to cause trouble. In the end, you cleaned yourself up and even looked like you were worried about everyone.
How could he be so overboard?
"Wu Sangui also wrote on the back of this letter that the officials His Majesty wants to put in important positions, eliminate the Donglin Party, and purge the government and the people. This lowly subject does not dare to hide such a heaven-defying crime.”
Jiang Feng was still painting, his voice and voice were rich and powerful.
The list of officials on that piece of paper was written by Liu Ru. This woman was very talented in literature and calligraphy.
On one hand, it was the name of the Donglin Party member that he wanted to kill, and on the other hand, it was the true loyal minister who had died for the country in history.
Jiang Feng took the opportunity to push the blame to Wu Sangui. It looked like he was framing him, but Chongzhen knew best that he was helping Wu Sangui.
"Let's not discuss this matter for the time being."
After all, he was still the emperor. Chongzhen only glanced at it indifferently and put it aside. He clasped his hands behind his back and said,"I just received an urgent report from the border. Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty led the Eight Banners to invade Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Ji Liao Governor Hong Chengchou asked me to send more troops and rations. What do you think?"
