Chapter 106: Pit Chen
Chongzhen asked Tianziwei to bring Wang Chengyin's adjutant to the hall of the general army's yamen and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The adjutant saw that Wang Chengyin had been sentenced to be executed, and he couldn't even speak, so he replied tremblingly: "The criminal's name is Gu An." ”
The surname Gu must be from Gu Jiaying, so Chongzhen asked, "Are you from Gu Jiaying?" ”
Gu An was even more frightened, the emperor killed more than 100 people in Gujiazhuang, Ling Chi and the two, in Xuanfu, now only Wang Chengyin was sentenced, and the next thing is himself, but thinking about it, he did follow Wang Chengyin as a deserter and occupy the military field together, this crime can't be avoided, so he had to say: "The minister is from the Gu family camp." ”
"Hmm!"
After listening to it, Chongzhen didn't say anything anymore, looking at Gu An's appearance, he must have done a lot of bad things, but this person, Chongzhen thinks it can still be used, yesterday he pretended to be the king of Dashun, this adjutant is not as afraid as Wang Chengyin, and he still has a certain amount of courage. Since ancient times, the principal and vice have been incompatible with each other, and Chongzhen needs Gu An to contain Zhao Zhongguo.
"Zhao Zhongguo!"
Zhao Zhongguo heard the emperor call him, and the emperor said at the city gate that he would let him be the governor, thinking that he must have announced this matter, so he stood up happily and replied: "The minister is here!" ”
An adjutant of the general army, a former deputy chief soldier, you have done not much less bad things than Wang Chengyin, Wang Chengyin is a deserter, and you are indispensable if you surrender to Li Zicheng. But this Xuanfu, there are no loyal and brave people, so simply, let you manage this Xuanfu, of course, it is not so comfortable for you to manage.
So Chongzhen said: "I now appoint you as the governor of Xuanfu to lead the military and political affairs of Xuanfu!" This position of chief soldier will be handed over to Gu An, and you will hand it over today. I hope that the two of you will work together to complete the policy of dividing the fields of the imperial court as soon as possible. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhongguo happily knelt down and thanked: "The minister bows to thank the emperor!" ”
After Gu An heard this, he felt furious in his heart, the emperor actually let him be an adjutant of Wang Chengyin as the chief soldier!
He followed Wang Chengyin out of the city that day, but Wang Chengyin was beheaded, and he Gu An became the chief soldier, who doesn't think that he, the adjutant, secretly sold Wang Chengyin! Although Wang Chengyin deserves it, he Gu An is not a good thing!
Gu An looked at the other officials, and they all looked at him with disdain, and his expression seemed to say: Gu An, you can do it, seeing that you have such a good relationship with Wang Chengyin, when did you suddenly go to report to the emperor.
Zhao Zhongguo knelt down to thank the emperor, what else could Gu An do, so he had to kneel down and say: "The minister bows to thank the emperor!" ”
Chongzhen also saw the expressions of the officials of the Xuanfu, for the sake of a better tomorrow for the Xuanfu, forget it, let's add drama to Gu An and Zhao Zhongguo, and said: "The capture of Wang Chengyin this time, Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An have made great contributions, and the two of them also said that all this is caused by Wang Chengyin alone, and there is no other party, so you will follow Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An in peace, and manage this Xuanfu together!" ”
Gu An knew that the emperor had put him to death, Your Majesty, you just asked my name, and then said that I played an important role in capturing Wang Chengyin? This is in the pit minister, this is in the pit minister!
Zhao Zhongguo also knew that he had been cheated a little, and he was a little worried in his heart.
Chongzhen paused, thinking that Wang Chengyin could postpone the division of the field for various reasons, and Zhao Zhongguo could do the same as Gu An, so he said, "Before the New Year, you must do a good job, if there is anyone who has not been assigned to the field before the New Year, all the officials of the Xuanfu will come to see me!" I have imprisoned a lot of officials in the capital, and killed a lot of village tyrants in Gujiaying, I guess you have heard of it! ”
The officials of the Xuan Mansion had just despised Gu An, but now when they heard Chongzhen say this, as long as they didn't finish it, they would all have to be beheaded, and there was such a reason! But they can only kneel down, saying that they will complete the task of dividing the fields without dishonoring their mission.
In fact, the imperial court has been propagating the policy of dividing the fields, and everyone in the city can't bear it, and they are looking forward to dividing the fields, but Wang Chengyin occupies too much military land, so he obstructs the division of the fields in various ways. They can't help it.
Chongzhen saw that the officials had no doubts, and suddenly thought that he hadn't said one thing yet, so he said again: "Also! Let everyone in Xuanfu be soldiers, don't lose the face of Xuanfu again! ”
These ministers all know what the emperor deliberately said "lose the face of Xuanfu", it is indeed too embarrassing, Ningwuguan Zhou Yuji fought to the death, leaving a lifetime of fame, the entire Daming newspaper is promoting Zhou Yuji's glorious deeds, and they Xuanfu, still separated by a Datong, ran to Taiyuan to surrender, greeted Li Zicheng with lanterns, and said shamefully: "The ministers are ashamed!" ”
Now that the duties of the Xuanfu have been arranged, let them get to work. The pit minister is going to pit to the end!
Chongzhen smiled darkly and said, "Since I have ordered you to be the governor of Xuanfu, then this Xuanfu affairs will be handled by the officials of your Xuanfu." Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An, the two of you will escort Wang Chengyin out now, explain Wang Chengyin's crime to the people of Xuancheng, and behead him for public display! ”
Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An were more worried about finally came, it was only this big and small official who despised them just now, and they could still explain and explain, but now the emperor wants them to behead Wang Chengyin in person, so that Wang Chengyin's soldiers also hate them!
Alas, the emperor promoted them to several levels of officials, and asked them to go to the execution ground to behead Wang Chengyin in person, Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An also understood that the emperor wanted them all to stand on the emperor's side!
How many soldiers in this Xuanfu are Wang Chengyin's cronies, Wang Chengyin can spare the governor Zhu Zhifeng and surrender Li Zicheng, how deeply rooted Wang Chengyin is in the army.
But if they don't listen to the emperor, the emperor will find their crimes, and the officials of the Xuanfu, who are not charged, have no choice but to accept and say: "The ministers obey the order!" ”
Chongzhen asked Wang Dahu to take Tianziwei to raid Wang Chengyin's house, and then followed Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An to the execution ground.
When he arrived at the execution ground, Chongzhen asked Zhao Zhongguo to order Wang Chengyin to be beheaded!
Poor Wang Chengyin was gagged until he died!
After killing Wang Chengyin, Chongzhen stood up and said: "The soldiers and people who claim it, Wang Chengyin does not listen to the policy of the imperial court, so that you cannot get the field, Gu An and Zhao Zhongguo have made great contributions to the capture of Wang Chengyin for the people of Xuanfu, and I have ordered Zhao Zhongguo to be the governor and Gu An to be the general soldier, from now on, they will divide the field for you!" ”
The declared soldiers and the people cheered, and Wang Chengyin's cronies hated Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An.
Zhao Zhongguo and Gu An were completely speechless, Your Majesty, it's good for you to say it once, say it so many times, it's to let us die for you from now on, anyway, if we don't work for you, we will die at any time without a place to bury!
