Hearing Li Zhi's words, all the generals in the hall were all pale, and no one spoke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Zhi couldn't get along with the generals, and the generals muttered in their hearts: If Li Zhi made meritorious service and defeated the thief within one or two months, would he be punished, demoted, or even dismissed by the imperial court?

This Li Zhibing is strong and strong, and he may not be inferior to Zhang Xianzhong, which is really hateful.

Yang Sichang looked at Li Zhi and suddenly coughed violently. He coughed so badly that it was as if he were a seriously ill patient. I just heard Yang Sichang's witty words, which made people forget that he was an old man in his fifties. At this time, hearing this coughing sound made people see the weakness of his body clearly.

Yang Sichang's huge mental pressure is not felt by outsiders at all.

At the beginning, because of the success of the ten-sided net thief plan, Yang Sichang went to the pavilion to worship the prime ministers, and he was full of ambition. But because of the resurgence of thieves, the official army was defeated and fell into a dead end. Zhang Xianzhong's power has not diminished since he supervised the teacher for a year, and the Son of Heaven has lost patience with him. The Son of Heaven sent Li Zhi, who had won a hundred battles, to quell the thief, which in itself negated the value of Yang Sichang.

If Li Zhi successfully quells the thief, Yang Sichang will not be able to escape from the crime of being a mediocre and tired country. fell from the highest point of his life to a dead end, Yang Sichang's spirit was unbearable, and his body was about to collapse.

The coughing sound swept away the atmosphere of the banquet that had been quite lively just now.

Yang Sichang finally stopped coughing and panted while holding the wine case.

Li Zhi said: "The superintendent is not in good health, this wine, it is better to drink less!" ”

Yang Sichang looked at Li Zhi and was speechless.

Li Zhi spent two days repairing in Xiangyang.

In the past two days, since Li Zhi said that he would start a war immediately, the generals in Xiangyang regarded Li Zhi as an enemy, and no one came to befriend Li Zhi.

Not only that, not only did no one come to invite Li Zhi to drink, but even the grain and grass that should have been supplied by Yang Sichang were cut off, on the grounds that Li Zhi did not listen to the dispatch. Yang Sichang took out the old trick of forcing Lu Xiangsheng to death back then. If Li Zhi hadn't been prepared, he would really have been defeated by Yang Sichang, and he would really have to obey him.

Fortunately, Li Zhi is not Lu Xiangsheng, behind Li Zhi is the entire Fanjiazhuang, and tens of thousands of people support Li Zhi behind him, which is much stronger than Lu Xiangsheng, who has nothing but an official position. Li Zhi brought five months of military rations and beans when he set off, and he didn't care whether Yang Sichang provided grain and grass.

Even if Yang Sichang doesn't give Li Zhi a grain of rice, Li Zhi can support it for another three months. Moreover, Li Zhi also brought silver, which could buy grain and grass locally.

When camping outside Xiangyang City, Li Zhi was careful in every possible way, guarding against other officers and soldiers near Xiangyang like thieves. These officers and soldiers are not good at fighting, but they still have a set of sabotage. Since the begging for Li Zhi failed, these officers and generals are likely to drag Li Zhi back with black hands.

Li Zhi strengthened the guards inside and outside the camp, and widely distributed scouts in the vicinity, guarding them like iron buckets, but these Ming generals had nowhere to start.

Li Zhi felt all kinds of unsatisfactory inside and outside Xiangyang City, and was dissatisfied, so he wrote a letter of impeachment against Yang Sichang on November 4, and sent it to the capital as soon as possible.

On November 17, Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow, received Li Zhi's recital.

Zhu Youzhen grabbed Li Zhi's recital, paced back and forth in the empty hall of the Qianqing Palace, and was silent. For a long time, he sighed deeply.

Zhu Youzhen slowly sat back on the imperial case, speechless.

Wang Chengen leaned over to the Son of Heaven and looked at the concerto, and asked, "Emperor, is this Li Zhi's concerto attacking Yang Sichang credible?" ”

Zhu Youzhen flipped through the letter and said a little weakly: "Li Zhi has always been honest and will not attack the ministers for no reason. Nine times out of ten, everything in this piece is true. ”

By the winter of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youzhen's last trust in Yang Sichang had also been lost.

Yang Sichang not only couldn't fight the Tartars, but also couldn't beat the thieves, and was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly. The good situation of opening the net on all sides at the beginning was completely lost. Zhu Youzhen sent Li Zhi to strengthen the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong's forces, but Yang Sichang made things difficult for Li Zhi everywhere, and even did not send grain and grass to Li Zhi's army.

Yang Sichang was personally picked up by Zhu Youzhen. Zhu Youzhen promoted Yang Sichang from a small soldier to a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and entered the cabinet to be crowned minister. How many officials attacked Yang Sichang, Zhu Youzhen defended him wholeheartedly, and unconditionally supported Yang Sichang's various praise paintings. Whether it is to increase troops to suppress thieves or increase taxes and taxes, Zhu Youzhen agrees with Yang Sichang's policy.

Even Lu Xiangsheng, who is respected by the world, and Zhu Youzhen listened to Yang Sichang and forced him to death.

Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang used this means and this situation to repay Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven.

Zhu Youzhen was very disappointed.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the roof of the Qianqing Palace and sighed again.

Wang Chengen said: "If what Li Zhi said is true, this Yang Sichang is really excessive. Does the emperor want to punish him! ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it and shook his head.

"Now Li Zhi has not eliminated Zhang Xianzhong, and impeached the superintendent as the chief soldier, which is the following attack. You can't deal with the ministers just because of Li Zhi's recital, otherwise Li Zhi will be even more domineering..."

"If Li Zhi exterminates Zhang Xianzhong, I will definitely not let Yang Sichang go."

"If Li Zhi can't exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, there will be no other suitable candidate for the post of supervisor for a while, and Yang Sichang will still be in charge."

"Wait for the news of Li Zhi's suppression of thieves, and then consider the treatment of Yang Sichang!"

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "Emperor Shengming! ”

On the surface, Zhu Youzhen postponed the handling of Yang Sichang because of the situation, but in his heart, Wang Chengen knew that the Son of Heaven was still unwilling to deal with Yang Sichang, who he had single-handedly raised.

In order to promote Yang Sichang, Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, did not know how many bigwigs in the DPRK and China had offended. With the character of the Son of Heaven, once a person is reused, he believes in him 100%. This was the case for Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, and later it was the same for Yang Sichang. The Son of Heaven seems to be competing with the people of the world, and wants to prove his vision and ability with an exceptional promotion.

But the outcome of things is always unsatisfactory. Yuan Chonghuan didn't say anything, and Yang Sichang's appointment was also proved to be a mistake. At the beginning, the "ten-sided net" strategy of gathering the power of the world to encircle and suppress still had some effect at first, but later a little transfer of troops to the north to prevent Dongnu, Yang Sichang's net was broken.

Zhu Youzhen asked Yang Sichang to personally supervise the division, giving Yang Sichang the last chance to prove himself, but the official army was still defeated by Zhang Xianzhong. The speeches of the officials attacking Yang Sichang have been stacked more than a foot high, and the Son of Heaven has not been released.

Although he already knew in his heart that Yang Sichang was not good, until the last moment, the Son of Heaven was not unwilling to admit in public that he was not willing to use people inappropriately.

Wang Chengen looked at Li Zhi's recital and asked, "Emperor, what should Li Zhi do with this recital?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Stay in the middle and don't send it." ”
