Chapter 032: Peel back the cocoon to find the truth

Regarding Guo Guangsheng's remarks, the British public scoffed. He sneered, after all, Guo Guangsheng was just a local talent, how did he know that the emperor was in the deep palace and the officials were able to do it. In fact, if officials want to hide something from the emperor, even if it is a big thing, it is very easy.

Guo Guangsheng smiled indifferently: "Does Grandpa Guo think that officials alone can cover up everything?" ”

The British Duke smiled and asked, "Can't you?" ”

Guo Guangsheng said with a straight face: "Other things may be possible for officials to get together, but what happened in Shaanxi must not." ”

"Why?"

"Because, the hungry people have risen up, can such a thing be concealed in the end?"

The British public was shocked and couldn't help but be moved: "You mean, there are already displaced people in Shanxi, Shaanxi Province who have rebelled?" "He is part-time the governor of the five armies, and the military of the whole country is under his jurisdiction, and he didn't know that such a big thing happened in Shaanxi, which simply shocked the British princess, and felt absolutely incredible.

Guo Guangsheng nodded slowly, but firmly: "Guogong doesn't know anything, as early as the Apocalypse, there was a drought in Shaanxi." Zhang Yaocai, the magistrate of Chengcheng County, urged the department very coolly, and the people were unbearable. There are kings and two, and hundreds of people gather on the mountain, all painted with ink. Wang Ergao shouted: 'Who dares to kill Zhang Zhixian? The crowd shouted in unison: 'I dare to kill!' Then he broke into the city. The gatekeepers did not dare to resist, and went straight to the county to kill Yaocai. The crowd was reunited in the mountains. ”

With a bang, the teacup that had just been rinsed in the British duke's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Guo Guangsheng didn't care, and continued to say lightly: "Chongzhen changed the yuan, and there was no rain in the land of Shaanxi for many years, resulting in cannibalism, and the people were thirsty for relief, and the official Cui Ke was more anxious, and the people were desperate. There is an urgent need to arrest and gather as thieves. Wang Er and others of Baishui County broke through the county seat of Yijun, released the people who were taken hostage, and then went north to join Wang Jiayin, with a number of five or six thousand, gathered in Huanglong Mountain in Yan'an and Qingyang. Gao Yingxiang, a native of Ansai, led the people to revolt in the first year of Chongzhen, and led a team to join Wang Jiayin, and now there are 20,000 Kou, known as 100,000. Qingjian County Wang Zuohang also recruited 10,000 horsemen and thieves to oppose the dragon ear of Yichuan. The leaders of his subordinates include Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, Big Red Wolf and others, all of whom are victims of the imperial court's horse administration, and their cavalry is even more fierce, and everywhere they pass, they are all urged to fail. ”

Seeing the British Duke with a dead face, Guo Guangsheng continued: "Everything else can be hidden, can such a big thing also be hidden?" Even if you hide it, for how long? ”

Zhang Weixian's lips trembled and murmured: "As the governor of the Five Armies, how come I don't know about this?" ”

This time, it was Guo Guangsheng's turn to sneer: "It's still the following to deceive you, but once the Liukou attack the city and seize the land, the place can't be hidden, and you must ask the Jingshi for help, at that time, you will know." ”

Zhang Weixian was stunned and thought for a long time, but he was already speechless.

That's the way it is, for the sake of political achievements, the unfavorable can be concealed, and the pressure can be suppressed, only when the matter is completely broken, will it be reported upward, and at that time, a small matter that is completely small at the beginning has long become out of control.

Just when everyone was silent, Zhang Cuiyan, who seemed to feel that she had gone off topic, spoke softly: "That's not what we want to discuss for the time being, I don't know what these have to do with our current situation." ”

Zhang Weixian also recovered from his daughter's question, and said to Zhao Xing: "Yes, what does this have to do with our current affairs?" ”

Yes, for Zhao Xing, the chaos in the northwest is still far from him, and what should be solved now is the trick in front of him.

In fact, Zhao Xing had long wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to untie the trap of his good brother's family.

When the first wild boar skin invaded Gyeonggi, the British Duke was forced to go out of the city for a decisive battle by those Donglin Party members, and finally lost his life, in fact, it was the result of the irreconcilable contradiction between the British Duke and the Donglin Party who tried to maintain the noble group of military generals and the Donglin Party, and it was precisely because of this irreconcilable contradiction that the Donglin Party forced to death the British Duke who was the emperor to death, the contradiction continued to extend, and when the third wild boar skin invaded Gyeonggi, he once again forced his good brother Zhang Zhiji to death. Let the only defender of the power of the military group, the British public lineage cut off the follow-up.

Coming to this world by himself, although he can't change the fate of Daming, but to change the fate of his good brother, not to let him die unjustly, and become a martyr for this doomed dynasty, Zhao Xing still wants to try hard.

Faced with the situation that the British Duke Zhang Weixian entered the palace before dawn every day for the past two days, came out after dark, and fought to the end with the Donglin Party every day, Zhao Xing thought it was necessary to explain his judgment to him, so as to alleviate the relationship between the British Duke and the Donglin Party to the end, which was necessary.

The current situation in Shaanxi has been made clear by Guo Guangsheng, and there is already a foreshadowing in front of it, so now is the time for him to express his own opinions, and he must not let the British public enter a dead end of thinking, thereby harming his good brother.

"The kid thinks that since the affairs of the northwest must not be concealed for a long time, and they can't be concealed, then just by virtue of the emperor's sudden private visit, I introduced Mr. Guo and told the truth, can I cover up the mouth of the world?" Then he smiled lightly and shook his head: "The Donglin Party people are all human spirits, they won't know it, even if they kill me and the old gentleman, they can't stop the revelation of the matter at all, but they want to cover it up, so why do they do it?" It's not like it's nothing to do, but what is it? ”

When the British public heard Zhao Xing say this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Without waiting for him to think, Zhao Xing continued his judgment and thoughts: "Since apart from Mr. Guo, the emperor can finally get the true situation from the rebellion in the northwest. After the Donglin Party received a private visit from the emperor to summon us in the palace, what they thought about should not be to make a big deal bigger, but how to turn a big thing into a small thing. Even the most stupid person should proceed according to this line of thought, and it will definitely not be murder, because killing the two of us, in fact, if you find a random northwestern homeless person on the street, the emperor will still get the real situation. So in that case, why did they bother to make a big deal out of it, simply burn down the Guogong Mansion, and send a large number of assassins to rush into the Guogong Mansion and assassinate us almost in a dignified manner. Such a desire to cover up, such a blatant moth to fight the fire, yes, I define such an act as a moth to the fire, is this against the reason of normal people doing things? ”

The British Duke did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

Indeed, Guo Guangsheng is just one of the tens of thousands of Shanxi refugees stranded in the capital, killing him, as long as the emperor wants to get the truth, he can find any one, there is no problem. Then they are so desperate to do it, it can't be described as stupid enough to kill people.

And the reputation of the British public, in the current Ming Dynasty, is definitely known in the world. Let go of these, just an old Guogong Mansion, where the guards are so tight, even a three-year-old child will know. Sending some assassins, taking advantage of the fire, to blatantly rush into the palace to assassinate, to describe it as a moth to a fire, is really true, but why did they do it?

"Besides, whether the old gentleman said anything about the Northwest, or what contradictions Donglin has with you, this is a political matter, since it is political, then Donglin can't do it, and he doesn't dare to assassinate him."

The British Duke pondered for a while, and then said to Zhao Xing with a smile: "Your kid will be a character in the future, you really understand politics." You're right, if in order to bring me down, those big guys use assassination instead of lip politics, it won't be long before Donglin will all be on the streets. ”

Zhao Xing just smiled at the British public's praise, politics is the most dirty, and he doesn't want to disgust it: "Since this is the case, Donglin's assassination of us can almost be ruled out directly." ”

"So what do you think the plotters will do?"

Zhao Xing leaned back on the chair and stared at Zhang Weixian's face, who had actually understood the matter: "According to small speculation, it is just a knife to kill someone with a heart." ”

The British public stared: "Borrow my hand, who will you kill?" ”

Zhao Xing replied word by word: "Killing Donglin, at least Donglin and the Xungui Group you represent will lose both." Then he had to make the words clear: "Grandpa Guo, you seem to have been used as a gun." ”

Blatantly saying in disguise that a person is stupid, and saying it directly to his face, without saving a little face for the other party, of course, will be annoyed. Zhao Xing is not unaware of such a human situation, but now his situation has not been completely solved, and it is still quite dangerous. For this reason, he must find out about this matter, and then let this hot prince bear all the dangers for himself, at the very least, let him stop messing with the emperor, stop messing with Donglin, find the real culprit, go and mess with them, so that the enemy has no time to pay attention to himself, which is also a way to protect himself.
