Chapter 301 Letter from Chongzhen
When Chen Xinjia heard this, he felt relieved. This Li Xin really wanted to borrow from the Xuanfu.You must know how many hostile tribes have appeared around the Yanhuang tribe. Although Shi Yuanzhi is a bit resourceful, he is not the general after all. Li Xin has not returned to preside over the army. He can command the entire army, but his prestige is poor. many.What Li Xin has to do now is to return to the Yanhuang Tribe as quickly as possible.

"Master Hou, the cars and horses are exhausted, why don't you take a break for a while, presumably in the cloud, with Mr. Shi sitting in charge, nothing major will happen." Chen Xinjia said cautiously.

"Oh!" Li Xin glanced at Chen Xinjia upon hearing the words, saw him nodding, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chen wants to stay, I will rest for a while. However, I will leave Xuanfu in an hour's time." gone."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Lord Hou has the spirit of dragon and horse, but the soldiers under his command can't do it. An hour is an hour." Chen Xinjia was overjoyed, and quickly turned to the gentry and said: "Marquis Zhengbei is about to face Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan's wolf ambition, always Thinking of invading our Central Plains, now Zheng Beihou wants to defeat this person in one fell swoop. Everyone, Xuanfu is an important city in the imperial court. Once the battle in Yunzhong is unfavorable, Lin Danhan's army will be like this. It is reasonable for everyone to have money to contribute money and food to deal with Lin Danhan together. What do you think?"

"Your Excellency's words are very true." After hearing this, the country gentry in the crowd also responded with words, including Fan Yongdou and other seven great families.Li Xin is becoming more and more powerful, and these people cannot do without Li Xin if they want to do grassland business.What's more, Li Xin is so powerful, even if Lin Danhan defeated Li Xin, Li Xin could still rely on the Central Plains. This war is impossible to end in a short time, but Li Xin can defeat Lin Danhan in a short time and end the battle. Even if they hated Li Xin before, at this time, the Seven Great Aristocratic Families don't want Li Xin to fall like this.

"This Chen Xinjia is still a little level, not as incompetent as recorded in the history books!" Li Xin looked at Chen Xinjia and sighed in his heart.In history, Chen Xinjia also left a reputation, but of course it was mainly based on infamy.According to historical records, in the 15th year of the Songjin battle in Chongzhen, both Hong Chengchou and Emperor Chongzhen believed that it should be cautious and slow. , insisting on splitting the attack in four ways, which finally led to Hong Chengchou's defeat, and the last hope of the Ming Dynasty was ruined.From this point of view, Chen Xinjia has committed a great crime.Later, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to negotiate peace with Jiannu and asked him to preside over it. One day, Ma Shaoyu sent back a secret letter on the terms of the peace from the border, and Chen Xinjia put it on the case. The office circulated a copy, and the matter was leaked, and the officials were in an uproar. Xin Jia did not adduce the crime, but boasted of his merits.Chongzhen was even more angry.During the incident, Ma Jiazhi impeached Xinjia again.Chongzhen sent Chen Xinjia to prison on July 15, 29th year.It is said that if the ruler does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his status, and if secret affairs are not kept secret, he will be harmed.So Chen Xinjia ended up in tragedy.

However, from the perspective of Chen Xinjia in front of him, Li Xin might still have some skills. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to want to say something to him.The soldiers just ran for a long distance, and now they are a little tired, so they just take a break.At that time, Zhang Wu and others were ordered to lead the army to rest temporarily.But he and Chen Xinjia entered the Xuanfu.

"The governor seems to have something to teach me?" In the governor's yamen, Li Xin and Chen Xinjia sat down as guests and hosts.

"The lower officials want to use 5000 cavalry to help Lord Hou." Chen Xinjia gritted his teeth and said, "Although the imperial court has issued an order, the lower officials are governors and have the right to mobilize some soldiers and horses."

"Oh! Isn't Mr. Chen afraid of being picked on by the censors? You know, those people want me to die now!" Li Xin became more curious. He didn't expect that Chen Xinjia would have such courage.You must know that there is no one in the current Ming army who has no objection to him, especially those civil servants.

"Hehe! The lower officials naturally don't have the guts, but someone has the guts." Chen Xinjia took out a letter from his bosom with a little complacency, held it in both hands, and said, "Someone sent a secret letter. , Lord Hou, please read it. Lord Hou, throughout the ages, there is probably only Lord Hou who has this letter."

"Oh!" Seeing Chen Xinjia's solemnity, Li Xin was extremely curious. He reached out to take it, opened it, and saw "Li Qing" written on his head. With the words "Zhu Youjian".It turned out that this letter was written by Emperor Chongzhen himself. No wonder Chen Xinjia was so cautious.Li Xin was also amazed, he didn't expect Chongzhen to write a letter to himself in person, and in this way.Li Xin glanced at it for a while, and saw that Chongzhen didn't say anything on it. He just narrated Li Xin's achievements, explained the situation facing the court, and said that he could not send a large army to help him. It's time to get together in the capital.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so sincere to His Majesty! It's just that the overall situation in the court is the same, and the Emperor is helpless, so please forgive me." Chen Xinjia looked at Li Xin with envious eyes. It is indeed very rare to contact a courtier in this way.Especially in the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time.

"Your Majesty, you have a heart." After reading this letter, Li Xin said that he didn't feel it was a lie, but it was also impossible for him to bow to the east, obey his orders, and hand over his tens of thousands of troops to Chongzhen. .Because he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was a tragic emperor, and he probably didn't trust most of his courtiers. Although he was able to hand over everything at the moment, the seeds of suspicion and distrust had been planted long ago, and it was impossible for Li Xin to trust him. human.

Chen Xinjia saw Li Xin's expression in his eyes, and sighed in his heart. It might not be so easy to convince Li Xin in front of him.However, in the past, the imperial court owed too much to Li Xin, and it was not easy for Li Xin to enter the Xuan Mansion openly and aboveboard. Things should be done step by step.

"So, Lord Hou, the court will not blame you for sending five thousand cavalry." Chen Xinjia said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Mr. Chen." Li Xin nodded, and suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you stayed in Liaodong for a while. Victory."

"Steady and steady, advance slowly. Our Central Plains has a vast land and rich resources, and our foundation is deep. Although the Eastern Captives are strong in a short period of time, they are generally not as good as the imperial court. If it continues for a long time, it will definitely be our final victory in the Central Plains," Chen Xinjia thought. Did not want to say.
