Hearing Jin Yiwei's words, the civil officials stirred. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Is this Li Zhi going to be a child's play, I'm waiting here to discuss state affairs, and his brother can come if he wants?"

"Even if Li Zhi comes in person, he must first go to the military department to report and get a tooth card before he can go to court. This Li Xing doesn't say a word, it's like going to the court, and it's very rude and extraordinary! ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, but said: "Li Xing is Li Zhi's younger brother, and he can explain things clearly when he comes." Let Li Xing in. ”

The hundred officials looked at each other, and some people looked at the Son of Heaven with wide eyes, as if they wanted to scold Zhu Youzhen for corrupting the etiquette system, but they didn't dare to speak. Others stood aside with the attitude of watching the play, and secretly said that Li Zhi's younger brother was here to see what the Son of Heaven and Li Xing would say.

After a long time, Li Xing walked in all the way from the noon gate and entered the Imperial Palace.

Under the gaze of hundreds of officials, Li Xing knelt respectfully in the hall and sang loudly: "Minister Li Xing knocks to see the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Xing was respectful and very satisfied, and stroked his beard and said: "Li Xing, you suddenly want to participate in the court meeting, what are you doing?" ”

Li Xing shouted: "This month, there are all kinds of rumors in the capital, all of which say that Xing Guobo is going to rebel. All kinds of absurd statements in them are far from the truth. My brother Xingguo Bo Li Zhi worries about the country's social welfare every day, so he collects land taxes from the gentry and merchants in Tianjin. It is nothing more than the hope of enriching the state finances so that the imperial court has the money to train soldiers and kill slaves. His loyalty is visible every day. ”

"However, some small crumbs took the opportunity to fan the flames, fabricated rumors, and tried to use their tongues as swords to sow discord, and wanted to use the hand of the Son of Heaven to kill my brother Xingguo in the palace. The sinister nature of his intentions is truly outrageous. ”

Hearing Li Xing's words of loyalty, Zhu Youzhen was a little happy and couldn't stop nodding.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen hopes that the recent remarks are rumors, and hopes that Li Zhi will not really rebel. The stable situation in the Ming Dynasty in the past six months has not come easily. If Li Zhi really rebelled, the imperial court did not know how many soldiers and horses would have to be mobilized to quell the rebellion. If the deployment of troops and horses in various places leads to an empty defense, and Jiannu joins the Kou or Li Zicheng rises again, the situation in the world will be chaotic again.

Zhu Youzhen stroked his beard and said, "Li Xing, I am very happy if you say that. ”

Guo Chaotang, the imperial historian of Zuo Du, stood up with a tooth card in his hand and said loudly: "Holy Lord, don't be confused by Li Xing's empty white teeth. If Li Zhi didn't have any objections, if all the rumors in the capital were rumors, why didn't Li Zhi come and make it clear himself. He sent his brother here, what was he afraid of? I think Li Zhi is anti-minded, so he doesn't dare to come in person! ”

Li Xing looked at the aggressive Guo Chaotang and said: "My brother Xingguo Bo Li Zhi has discovered all kinds of rumors in the capital, and recently sent people to carefully investigate in the capital, and has found out the culprit who spread all kinds of rumors in the capital. My brother sent people to arrest the criminals, and now everyone has caught the stolen goods! ”

Hearing Li Xing's words, the civil officials were shocked.

All kinds of rumors in the capital, are they really deliberately released? Who unleashed such rumors? Who is so unlucky, he was caught by Li Zhi, and everyone got the stolen goods.

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, stroked his beard and said: "Xingguobo caught someone, Li Xing, you can calmly say it!" ”

Li Xing arched his hand and said: "The one who spread rumors and plotted to kill my brother Xingguo Uncle is Dongnu Chief Taiji!" My brother has caught seven people who printed rumor leaflets, and these people printed leaflets and distributed them in the capital day and night, that is, on the orders of the slave chief, with the intention of murdering the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty, and trying to sow discord between the Son of Heaven and my brother's friendship between the monarch and the ministers! ”

Li Xing took out a dozen confessions with fingerprints from his arms and said: "These are these detailed confessions, and the matter is clear and clear, and all the rumors this time are from Dongnu's hands. ”

Hearing Li Xing's words, the civil officials were stunned and looked at each other for a while.

It turns out that the rumors on this hustle and bustle are all the handiwork of Huang Taiji? It is also reasonable to say that the army sent by Huang Taiji was severely damaged by Li Zhi twice, and Huang Taiji hated Li Zhi very much. Huang Taiji wanted to take this opportunity to force Li Zhi to rebel, which was reasonable.

But Huang Taiji is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and the person Huang Taiji wants to kill is not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty? Now that Li Zhi has found out Huang Taiji's methods, doesn't it prove his sincerity and loyalty, isn't Li Zhi a blessing in disguise, and it proves that he is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty?

Which idiot did this Emperor Taiji send to do this? How did you do it so badly, it was served by Li Zhilian? It's really a recipe for stealing chickens!

A eunuch came over, took the detailed confessions from Li Xing, and handed them to Zhu Youzhen. The Son of Heaven carefully read those confessions, and the expression on his face became more and more relaxed. Seeing the back, Zhu Youzhen was already full of smiles.

Li Xing looked at the face of the Son of Heaven and arched his hand and said, "Holy Lord, the seven Xizuo who communicated with Dongnu have all been imprisoned in the courtyard of the Li family, and they have all confessed to the rumors spread. Jin Yiwei can take the fine work away at any time and interrogate it carefully. ”

"Dongnu wanted to confuse the public with rumors, and borrowed the hands of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government to let the tiger division and the border army kill each other, and from then on, no one could stop Dongnu from entering the customs."

Zhu Youzhen slapped his hand on the throne with a snap, and said loudly: "It turned out that it was Dongnu who sowed discord!" It's hateful! Almost, the Korean Chinese martial arts are all slaves in the Middle East! ”

"If there is no Xingguobo, how can Dongnu lie dormant in Liaodong for several years? Almost, I'm going to destroy the Great Wall! ”

The civil servants looked at each other for a while, their faces very embarrassed. At this moment, Li Zhi proved his indispensability through the hands of Huang Taiji. At this time, it is difficult for the civilian officials to continue to attack Li Zhi. Attacking Li Zhi again, wouldn't he be of the same mind as Huang Taiji?

Li Zhi was blessed by misfortune, and the situation in the court suddenly reversed.

Zhu Youzhen stroked his beard and said loudly: "This matter has been ascertained, and the evidence is conclusive. In the future, the Chinese officials of the DPRK are no longer allowed to discuss the loyalty and adultery of Xingguo Bo, and the violators will be punished with the crime of slavery! ”

Hearing this, the civil officials were like mourners, and their faces were ugly.

Guo Chaotang, the imperial historian of Zuodu, was unwilling to let Li Zhi go, he surrendered his hand and shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, although the slave chief attacked Li Zhi, he could not prove Li Zhi's innocence. That Li Zhi killed two governors and three prefects, and the court couldn't ignore them and let them get away with it! ”

Zhu Youzhen said coldly: "Guo Chaotang, I have already said that I am not allowed to discuss the loyalty of Xingguo again. You still want to attack my minister of the Ming Dynasty, do you want to be with Dongnu? ”

Zhu Youzhen put the six words "one heart with Dongnu" very seriously. The meaning of the Son of Heaven is very clear, who dares to say that Li Zhi is a thief now, it is to communicate with Dongnu.

However, here and now, the Son of Heaven's handling method is very reasonable, and no civil official can find a thorn. Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at the situation and did not dare to say more.

Guo Chaotang saw that the officials were silent, his face was flushed with anger, and he said loudly: "Li thief killed dozens of gentry, killed two governors and three prefects, no matter what, I will fight him to the end!" ”

Zhu Youzhen slapped the throne angrily and shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

"Drag it down, eighty of the staff!"

More than a dozen brocade guards jumped up, rushed up and grabbed Guo Chaotang and dragged him outside. When Guo Chaotang heard the eighty-four words of the court staff, he knew that he had fallen into a big disaster this time. Playing eighty boards, then there is still a way to live? He was so frightened that his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he was dragged a few steps by the brocade guard, and he actually peed on his pants.

Zhu Youjian was full of spirit, stood up and walked a few steps in front of the throne, glanced at the Chinese official, and shouted: "Which one else wants to work with Dongnu and destroy my Daming Great Wall?" ”

The civil officials turned pale, but they did not dare to speak out, and no one spoke for a long time.

Li Xingbai fell to the ground and sang loudly: "My emperor Shengming! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
