Chapter Seventy-Six: The Rock Breaks
So he has imagined countless times that Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping, the two troublemakers, broke into a big disaster, and when the time comes, Liu Yongxi, the little sincere uncle, will definitely be hit hard, kneeling at his feet and crying bitterly, and then he can come forward to deal with the aftermath and give enough face to the sincerity uncle's mansion, maybe he can take the opportunity to hug the beauty back at that time.
It's just that when Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping really caused a big disaster, Tian Yang, the governor of Huaiyang, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he asked loudly: "Hurry up and invite Dongpingbo, forget it, Dongpingbo has already gone to Shandong to worship his ancestors!"
Tian Yang didn't know what to do, this matter not only involved Liu Yongxi, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo, the three Liu families, but also really invited Liu Zeqing over to say that it might cause more trouble, maybe Gao Jie would end up in person, and then it would be an army of more than 100,000 people who would completely beat his jurisdiction to pieces, so the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
Liu Yongxi really wants to kill people, and directly drag him, the governor of Huaiyang, into the water!
He just wanted to sit peacefully as a governor of Huaiyang, but he didn't think that he had been away from officialdom for too long, and now even the small warlords with only a few thousand men had become so unruly that he didn't take the court and Emperor Hongguang seriously at all.
Tian Yang has been living in Nanjing for more than ten years since Chongzhen stepped down in the second year, and sitting on the cold bench for so many years has made him reluctant to give up the position of governor of Huaiyang, so he can only ask Cui Tianshan, the general of Liu Yongxi, who came to report the news: "Where is Uncle Cheng Cheng now!" ”
And Cui Tianshan told the truth: "Our sincerity Uncle took General Xing to Xingping Bo and Mrs. Xing to ask for guilt!" ”
Tian Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, Sincerity Bo did make a smart choice!" ”
Although he knew that Gao Jie and the 30,000 troops under his command would personally end up and make the situation more and more out of control, Tian Yang felt that the muddier the water was now, the better, and Gao Jie's failure Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping were probably a dead end, and since the matter of "protecting Cao" happened in the jurisdiction of him, the governor of Huaiyang, he, the governor of Huaiyang, would inevitably bear the brunt of the situation and may fall at any time.
Gao Jie's fate is different, maybe he can turn a big thing into a small thing, and in the end, everyone pretended to protect Cao This matter did not happen at all, so Tian Yang notified Cui Tianshan as soon as possible: "Let you be sincere Uncle must use more thoughts, I will try my best to cover up this matter, if I really can't cover it up, I will find a way to suppress it!" ”
Now he doesn't care about how to clean up Liu Yongxi's problems at all, and only wants to finish serving as the governor of Huaiyang peacefully, and then be promoted to a minister of the ministry and enjoy the glory and wealth peacefully.
For the ministers and officials of the six ministries in Nanjing, although Zuo Maodi took all the responsibility, the occurrence of this incident still made them feel unbelievable.
"Joining forces to destroy the Kou" is an established national policy, and everyone is counting on this reward to impress Wu Sangui, even if it can't impress Wu Sangui, the Duke of Jiguo, they can also use this bit of money to win over the Qing State, so that they can go all out to attack Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, so that the imperial court can have the opportunity to favor Jianghuai.
But no one expected that Zuo Maodi, the first leader of the Northern Mission, would directly join forces with Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping to transfer the gold, silver, silk, and grain delivered to Wu Sangui and the Qing Kingdom to Linhuai Town for safekeeping in the name of "protecting Cao".
Although Zuo Maodi found a bunch of reasons in the song, this was a clear act of overstepping his authority, and the imperial court asked him to transport this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain to Wu Sangui, instead of handing it over to the front-line troops in charge of the Jianghuai front.
And this matter is definitely not that simple, not only involves Xingping Bo Gaojie behind Xing Shengping, but also has something to do with the three chapters of the covenant between Empress Yi'an Zhang and Emperor Hongguang on the canal.
Although the cronies around Emperor Hongguang have always resolutely denied that Emperor Hongguang and Empress Yi'an had any three chapters of agreement, and even did not admit that Empress Zhang had supported His Royal Highness King Fu.
But in the process of "protecting Cao" this time, not only did Liu Yongxi, the son of the sincere uncle, show up to prove that there is such a thing as three chapters of the law, but also the former Huaiyang governor Lu Zhenfei also personally ran out to confirm this matter.
When it comes to Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang, whether it is Emperor Hongguang or his cronies, or the ministers and officials of the six ministries feel anxious, who calls Lu Zhenfei the first governor of the Hongguang Dynasty to be liquidated.
If there was only Emperor Hongguang, Lu Zhenfei could only vent his grievances with the township party around him, but now in addition to Emperor Hongguang, there is also the existence of Empress Zhang of Yi'an, which is the so-called "sun and moon are suspended", so Lu Zhenfei told people everywhere about the three chapters of the covenant between Empress Zhang and His Royal Highness King Fu.
And Lu Zhenfei not only said the three chapters of the law, but also said that Emperor Hongguang quoted a passage of filial piety in front of Empress Zhang at that time: "Wen Tianzi has seven contentious ministers, although there is no way to lose the world", but everyone also knows that this is not only from the Book of Filial Piety, but also Liu He, the king of Changyi, once said this in front of Huo Guang, and Huo Guang unceremoniously refuted Liu He and abolished him casually: "The Empress Dowager is abolished, and the Son of Heaven is safe!"
This not only proves that Emperor Hongguang has not read the Han book "Huo Guang Biography", but also that Empress Zhang, as Empress of the Apocalypse, can support King Fu to ascend the throne, and theoretically abolish the throne of Emperor Hongguang, so Lu Zhenfei also said that Empress Zhang also said on the canal at that time, "Since the palace can establish you, you can also abolish you" and something like that.
This directly affects the legitimacy of Emperor Hongguang's accession to the throne, everyone thinks that Lu Zhenfei talks too much, but his mouth is long to Lu Zhenfei, and he is the first minister of the Hongguang Dynasty to be liquidated, so he naturally tells people the story of the three chapters of the law everywhere.
Therefore, everyone felt that there was no way to explain this matter clearly, Ma Shiying discussed it with several cabinet ministers and Shangshu, and finally felt that the bell still needed to tie the bell, since this matter has something to do with Empress Zhang, it can only be handed over to Empress Zhang to deal with, as long as Empress Zhang comes forward to deny that there is such a thing, the court can naturally turn the danger into a disaster.
Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying handed over this matter to Lu Jiude and Ma Xi to deal with, Lu Jiude is the most important eunuch of Emperor Hongguang, and although Ma Xi is Ma Shiying's second son, he is his successor, Lu Jiude and Ma Xi also learned the lesson of the previous failure to invite Empress Zhang back to the palace, and specially selected hundreds of absolutely loyal outlaws from the Beijing camp to attack Yanziji to prepare to control Empress Zhang as soon as possible.
But Lu Jiude and Ma Xi ran back in a panic and brought an earth-shattering news: "What? Is Empress Zhang not in Yanziji? Neither she nor Yuzhou are in Swallow Rock? ”
Although Emperor Hongguang and many people around him did not regard Empress Zhang as the same thing, thinking that Empress Zhang's existence would be harmful to the imperial court and not beneficial, and even felt that Empress Zhang called the big boat she was riding "Imperial Boat" a kind of transgression, but they were all panicked when they heard that Empress Zhang had left Yanziji.
