Chapter 20 Sulhaqi's Report

The Wanli Emperor did not immediately summon Nurhaci, deliberately delaying for a day and sending a message to him, telling him to enter the Meridian Gate together during the morning court the next day to meet him.

Several people guessed that Nurhaci would take advantage of the curfew to go to the temple to investigate. If he didn't go one night, he would always go after two nights.

Ji Xiang asked Lao Zhang for the method of subduing demons with firearms.

"There are still a few days, I will first tell Senior Brother the mantra of the Beidou Great Divine Spell. When my affairs here are over, I will personally tell Senior Brother in detail. Although the method of firearms is a new method of the present era, there are many mysteries in it."

Lao Zhang smiled when he talked about this, obviously he was enjoying himself after learning the method of subduing demons with firearms. He also asked about the little fox's cultivation progress. Ji Xiang smiled:

"Copying the Golden Light Spell two hundred and fifty times every day."

Lao Zhang was immediately very happy: "Very good, very good! A strict teacher produces outstanding students! Little Shi, this is your opportunity, don't slack off, you must copy carefully!"

"Ying ying."

Only the little fox's world was hurt, but this is what every student should do.

........

The Wanli Emperor received Nurhaci and inquired about the news of the temple.

However, a strange thing appeared.

Nurhaci entered the court to pay tribute as usual, and also entered and exited the Ministry of Rites during the day, seen by many people, and did not hide his whereabouts. According to the news obtained from surveillance at night, he basically did not go out.

On the fourth night, the Wanli Emperor asked people to find an excuse, saying that they were searching for demons and conducted an inspection. After the Northern Garrison Division showed the imperial warrant, the Ministry of Rites officials, who were clamoring about violating human rights, instantly became mute.

But Nurhaci was still in his guild hall, and he only woke up when the Northern Garrison Division entered the hall.

Everything was as usual, and his younger brother, Shuerhazi, was also there. Out of worry, they counted the number of people again, and the result was also correct.

This situation made the Wanli Emperor scratch his head in confusion.

"Could it be that this guy has no rebellious intentions, and I am mistaken?"

"No, no, no, people who have no father like An Lushan will never be as loyal as they appear on the surface."

"Could it be that this guy is really scared by the news that Li Chengliang is returning to Liaodong?"

The Wanli Emperor couldn't figure out what this guy was doing. There was no movement for four days. Was he still waiting?

Nurhaci didn't make any moves, but Shuerhazi secretly found a eunuch in the palace before leaving, saying that he had news to tell the Wanli Emperor.

"This servant Shuerhazi, greets the Emperor of the Great Ming, long live Your Majesty!"

Shuerhazi finally caught an opportunity and found a way to meet the Wanli Emperor. Of course, he was also surprised that the Wanli Emperor directly summoned him, giving him a chance to meet directly.

This was only the second time he had seen the Wanli Emperor, but at this time, Shuerhazi found that the Wanli Emperor's spirit was obviously much better than the last time, his back was straight, and he had a sword in his hand, which looked quite majestic.

Shuerhazi couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this Ming Emperor is holding a sword to pretend, has he ever been on a horse to kill an enemy?

Trying to show off?

Never mind, you are the emperor, whatever you like.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this servant came here because....."

"Because Nurhaci is going to rebel?"

"Yes... ah no, no!?"

Shuerhazi was taken aback, his tongue curled up, and he explained, "Not yet rebelling, no no no, can't say rebelling, just, has some thoughts only."

The Wanli Emperor glanced at him: "What benefits do you want to get from me? For your brother's little thoughts, you came to see me specially, speak, I like to get straight to the point, I don't like beating around the bush."

"Also, if the information you give is useful, I will give you the title of Commander of the Jianzhou Right Guard."

Shuerhazi was stunned on the spot.

Happiness came too suddenly and too directly. Although he wanted to express his sincerity here, in order to be a running dog of the Great Ming, the Wanli Emperor's straightforward opening... made him a little unbearable.

So the emperor likes it more direct?

It's that simple and crude!

The Jianzhou Right Guard, now has no leader, and has declined, belonging to the Left Guard Commander, mainly because the position of the Right Guard Commander was taken by someone who rebelled, and as a result, he was almost disintegrated by Li Chengliang, but the Right Guard's establishment has not been cancelled.

Shuerhazi was overjoyed. The opportunity to stand against his elder brother had come!

Immediately, he told the Wanli Emperor the story of the "sweet dream" that Nurhaci had, like pouring beans, and accurately said the word "Li Shanhe"!

The Wanli Emperor was overjoyed on the spot!

You did a good job, you stabbed him in the back well, you reported him well! You eliminated your relatives for the sake of righteousness, your elder brother is really not a good thing!

Shuerhazi didn't expect that the three words Li Shanhe would have such a big impact on the Wanli Emperor. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, it seems that the Ming Emperor also knows about Li Shanhe, and it seems that there is a grudge?

That's great, his elder brother has taken refuge in Li Shanhe, and he has taken refuge in the Great Ming, doesn't this mean that his position is stable!

From now on, I, Shuerhazi, don't have to work with my elder brother anymore. Relying on the country when going out, as long as my elder brother is killed, I will be the succeeding Dragon Tiger General!

"But it is a little rash to arrest people based on a dream... If he denies it outright, saying that he is just making up nonsense, I have no good way, after all, we arrest people, we must pay attention to evidence."

"Your Majesty, evidence can be fabricated, trumped-up charges...."

"Bold! Am I the kind of fatuous ruler who would convict people with trumped-up charges!"

The Wanli Emperor slapped the sword and stood up!

Don't mention any operations related to the Song Dynasty to me! Especially trumped-up charges!

Shuerhazi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. The Wanli Emperor waved his hand: "Go, keep an eye on your elder brother, I will find a way to have someone pass messages to you. If he has any small moves, report it to me immediately!"

That's what he said....

However.

This wait lasted until the fifth day.

Nurhaci did make a move on this day, but he submitted a letter stating that he wanted to send troops to support the Korean battlefield, hoping for the approval of the Great Ming. This matter had just spread, and in less than an hour, the Korean envoy of the Ministry of Rites, Lao Liang, came crying to the Forbidden City.

He expressed that Your Majesty, you can't do this. Sending Tatars to kill dwarfs is adding another dwarf. This small country is terrified when it hears this. How can it be allowed!

To put it bluntly, the Jurchens have no military discipline. Although their combat power is strong, they rob after the battle, which is no different from the Japanese pirates.

Regarding this request to participate in the war being rejected, Nurhaci did not care, and seemed to have become silent. He was still the same as usual, entering and exiting the Ministry of Rites, often seen by everyone.
