"In fact, it can be said that Wu Sangui killed him. After Li Xin killed Azig, he wanted to pursue Hong Tai and threw Azig's body on the battlefield. Therefore, Wu Sangui finally got an advantage. Wu Sangui didn't think so. This Azig was accidentally killed in the rebellion, and no one took credit for it, so he took Azig's head as his own credit," Wang Chengen thought for a moment and then said. Thanks to this person, this explanation can barely make sense. "So, this Wu Sangui is lucky." Emperor Chongzhen said calmly. His eyes were shining with golden light, and even Wang Chengen could not tell what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking at this moment. "Even if it's luck, it was given by the Emperor." Wang Chengen rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "The Emperor is the Emperor. If you say who deserves such credit, then it belongs to whom. If you say the luck was given to Wu Sangui, then it belongs to Wu Sangui. The clouds are gone." Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded and said, "It's just unfair to Li Xin. Hehe, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity. Give him a reward! He has made such a contribution and saved Zu Dashou and Guan Ning's cavalry. I'm afraid it can't be said without a reward." "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be discussed. Okay." Wang Chengen hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this Li Xin is a sinner first and foremost. Although such a person has made great achievements, your Majesty, please don't forget that according to the rules of the imperial court, leading an army of two thousand people is no small matter. What a small sinner can do, even if it is an ordinary person, is to lead two thousand people, it is a serious crime of rebellion!" "This is the case!" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and said slightly dissatisfied: "If it weren't for Li Xin, How could Zu Dashou survive? My Guan Ning cavalry would have been destroyed by Jian Nu. " "It's natural that your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as lightning." Wang Chengen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will not happen. Your Excellency will object. " "Mr. Zhou? What does this have to do with Li Xin?" Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously. The Mr. Zhou he was talking about was none other than Zhou Yanru, the cabinet scholar at this time. Zhou Yanru, whose courtesy name was Yusheng and whose name was Yizhai, was born in the 21st year of Wanli Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty. He was a native of Yixing in the Ming Dynasty (now a native of Yicheng City, Yixing). When he was young, he was smart and had a literary name. At the age of 20, he became the first scholar in the imperial examination and was awarded the title of compilation. During the reign of Tianqi, he moved to Youzhongyun and took charge of economic affairs. Soon he took charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing as Shao Zhan. Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. In December of the second year of Chongzhen, he was appointed as the Minister of Liturgy and the Bachelor of Dongge University. He participated in machine maintenance at the age of thirty-six. In September of the following year, he was appointed as the chief assistant. In December of the second year of Chongzhen, there was a police presence in the capital, with a special order to pay homage to the Minister of Rites of Yanru and the Bachelor of Dongge University to participate in engine maintenance. In February next year, the crown prince will be added as the Taibao, and it will be renamed Wenyuan Pavilion. In June, body benevolence also enters. In September, Cheng Ji was ordered to become an official, and Yan Ru became the first assistant. Search and add Shaobao, and change it to Wuying Palace. It can be said that Zhou Yanru was a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty, and out of respect for these cabinet scholars, Emperor Chongzhen called them sir. "Well, I heard that the death of Li Gu, the former prefect of Huai'an, had something to do with Mr. Zhou." Wang Chengen thought for a while, and finally did not dare to deceive Emperor Chongzhen, and leaked half-truths and half-false information to Emperor Chongzhen. "Where did you get this news? Mr. Zhou is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be so shameless as you said?" Emperor Chongzhen reprimanded slightly dissatisfied. However, no matter what, Wang Chengen's words still made Chongzhen listen to a little bit. "Your Majesty, no matter what, Li Xin led the army to defeat Jiannu as a sinner. Although he made a great contribution, he also violated the will of the imperial court. If it is really said, even if he is charged with treason, It's okay." Wang Chengen thought for a while and persuaded. "Then let such a brave man stay outside the court?" Emperor Chongzhen sighed. After these years of governing the world, he realized that the difficulties of governing the world were far from what he had imagined when he was King Xin. "Your Majesty, things can be done step by step. First of all, Your Majesty can take this opportunity to pardon Li Xin's crimes. Li Xin is so powerful, so naturally he will have many opportunities to make military exploits. When the time comes, Your Majesty will reward him. "Wang Chengen consoled him from the side. ¡°That¡¯s all it can do.¡± Emperor Chongzhen nodded. Even if he became the emperor, he still found that there were still many things he was not satisfied with. However, what Emperor Chongzhen did not expect was that he wanted to downplay Li Xin, but others were different. Who is Li Xin? He is the son of Li Gu, an upright official of his generation. At this moment, Li Xin's achievements in Liaodong had already been reported to the capital, and it immediately attracted the attention of interested people in the capital. "Brother Jing Lian, what kind of reward do you think the emperor will give Li Xin this time? Haha, after Li Tuizhi, Yunwen and Yunwu are rare talents!" In a restaurant in the west of the city, three of them were The young scribes sat opposite each other, with a pot of sake in front of them exuding an alluring aroma.?, among these three people, one has a thin face, one is slightly fat, and the other has a gloomy face. Looking at the appearance of the three of them, they were obviously among the officials. Yes, these three people are none other than Sun Sanjie, Feng Yuanbiao, and Yu Yinggui, who were all given by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. These three people are close friends. They often gather together to discuss state affairs. Although the official positions of the three are not high, it does not prevent them from giving guidance. This time the three of them were discussing Li Xin's matter again. "Hmph, I think it's good that Li Xin can escape the disaster this time." The thin-faced man sneered. "Brother Jing Lian, why did you say this? When the Holy Emperor is on the throne, how can he let a loyal minister like Li Xin and a general lie abroad?" Feng Yuanzhao asked curiously. "Humph, don't forget how Li Tuizhi died back then. Li Xin is his son, and some people in the court are trying to control the sky with one hand. How can he let Mr. Li be promoted? It's already good that he doesn't cause Mr. Li any trouble. Yes." Sun Sanjie sneered. "Hey!" Yu Yinggui snorted coldly: "What is hateful is that this person deceived the emperor, appointed private individuals in the court, and colluded with the traitor inside and outside. On the surface, he was from Donglin, but in fact he was an eunuch. And Li Xin also Not a good thing, huh, brother Jing Lian, this Li Tuizhi is Li Tuizhi, Li Xin is Li Xin, so Li Xin, as a criminal, dares to recruit troops, what on earth is he trying to do? Is it possible to rebel? "I have to say that one thing is very strange in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the scholars looked down on the eunuchs and wished that all the eunuchs in the world would die. However, when the eunuchs were strong, they devoted themselves to it. Although Hong Chengchou hated Wei Zhongxian in his heart at the time, he still said that he was nine thousand years old after meeting him. Even the current cabinet academicians do the same to Wang Chengen, Gao Qiqian and their ilk. In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet and the eunuchs were fighting and dependent on each other. This relationship was very pathological and strange. "Humph, a scholar is a scholar. He only knows how to yell at the sky but doesn't know how to solve the problem. This is sad and deplorable." came a cold voice. "Luo Yangxing?" Sun Sanjie frowned and snorted: "I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really disappointing. Extremely disappointing." "What, is Commander Luo going to put us in the Jinyi Guard Prison?" Yu Yinggui said disdainfully. "Putting you into jail, humph, don't dirty my Jinyiwei's jail. You people talk about others behind their backs, how can you get better?" Luo Yangxing pointed at Feng Yuanxi and sneered: "Just say you Feng Sir! On the surface, you are a high official in the court, but in reality, you are just a henpecked master. You can't even protect your own concubine. What a big joke. If you can't protect Miss Yuerong, You can release them. What you are doing now is not heroic at all. You also want to discuss Mr. Li. Mr. Li led the army to fight against Jiannu. He dared to break through the eight blocks of Jiannu with three hundred cavalrymen and defeated Jiannu with hundreds of soldiers. With their own strength, they continuously defeated Jiannu and beheaded countless generals of Jiannu. Even Hong Tai cut off his beard and discarded his robe and fled in embarrassment. He even rescued the siege of Dalinghe City with 2,000 troops. Such a hero again Is it what you people are talking about? " "What do you know, warrior? It's true that Li Xin has made military achievements, but as a criminal, he dares to recruit troops. What else is this if he doesn't want to rebel? Yes, the ancestral rules cannot be violated, and he, Li Xin, has violated the ancestral rules. Hehe, it's a good thing that he is not a minister of our emperor, otherwise, I would have joined him," Feng Yuanyuan said loudly, his face turned red with anger, and veins popped out on his neck. . However, Luo Yangxing's words talked about Feng Yuanbo's weakness. The Yuerong girl in Luo Yangxing's words refers to a famous prostitute in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, who is beautiful and virtuous. In the first year of Chongzhen, when Feng Yuanbiao was appointed as the magistrate of Jieyang County, he passed through Yangzhou and took him as his side chamber, and came to Jieyang with him. He helped her husband solve crimes and eliminated harm to the people, and was deeply loved by Feng. But at this moment, because he was afraid of Feng Yuanyuan's wife, he often beat and scolded Huang Yuerong. (In fact, Huang Yuerong was probably poisoned to death in the second year of Chongzhen. Haha, this is a novel, don't take it seriously!) Unfortunately, Feng Yuanyuan was afraid. The power of his wife's family also turned a blind eye to this. This incident was widely circulated in the capital, and Feng Yuanbo was framed as a result. At this time, Luo Yangxing said it, how not to get angry. "Humph." Luo Yangxing looked at Feng Yuanxi with disdain. He really looked down on such a scholar. "Master, master, it's not good, it's not good." At this moment, a servant broke in and said loudly to Feng Yuanzhu: "Madam sent Miss Huang to Shuntian Mansion. She said that Miss Huang had stolen her A pair of jade Ruyi, want to punish Miss Huang?" "This?" Feng Yuanyuan's expression changed when he heard this. He knew that the so-called theft by Huang Yueying was actually a lie. How smart was Huang Yueying to do such a thing. "Why don't you go quickly?" LuoThe woman said disdainfully. "Yes, yes." Feng Yuanbiao nodded repeatedly and was about to leave. Suddenly there was a shout. But I saw several officials running towards me. Feng Yuanzhang recognized these people. They were Yushi Jingyuan, Yin Mingyi, Lu Zhenfei, Wu Zhiyu, Wang Daochun, Wang Xiangyun and others. These people had heard about the incident and were all gathered here. It was obvious that something big had happened. "Let's go, Brother Feng, we are all going to play Zhou Yanru's Destruction of the Country, can you go?" Jing Yuan stepped forward and pulled Feng Yuanzhuo and said: "This person concealed the truth and said that Azige was killed by Wu Sangui. In fact, he didn't He was not killed by Wu Sangui, but because the Wu family and his son were friendly with him, they said this. How can such a person who likes to appoint private officials be the head of a hundred officials? "Let's go and join him." Most of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty had extremely perverted ideas. They did not care about right or wrong, justice or evil. They were just for their own reputation. They liked to participate in the performances of the emperor, chief ministers and other important figures. If these people were defeated , that is the greatest achievement, and these people are even more proud of the royal staff. If they are beaten to death, the civil servants will come to pay their respects. If they are not beaten to death, they are heroes. If they are beaten to death, they are heroes. Dismissal from office is even more serious. From the capital to the hometown, wherever there are people and squires, they are treated as honored guests and welcomed as heroes. I have to say that this would be almost impossible in modern times. But in the Ming Dynasty, it was considered normal. "This?" Feng Yuanzhao hesitated. "Yes, how can we miss such a big event." Sun Sanjie said loudly: "You can wait until the matter is over before worrying about Miss Huang. I don't think the Shuntian Prefecture Yin would dare to do anything to Miss Huang? Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go together.¡± ¡°Such a great event that benefits the country and the people can¡¯t be done without us,¡± Yu Yinggui also said loudly. "Let's go, let's go together, let's go together." Feng Yuanbo was finally moved. Compared with becoming famous, Huang Yuerong naturally stepped aside and immediately left the restaurant and followed the others directly towards the Forbidden City. "Hey, scholars are so ruthless." Luo Yangxing saw clearly and couldn't help but shake his head and said to the people around him: "Go, take my post and tell Shuntian Prefecture to spare Miss Yuerong!" In an instant, a guard in Jinyi appeared. As a result, Luo Yangxing's famous assassin went to Shuntian Mansion. "Hmph, what do these scholars know?" Luo Yangxing stood up and looked at the people in the distance, with a hint of disdain on his lips, but soon he looked to the northeast, his eyes full of thinking.
