Li Xiuwen stood quietly below with iron cuffs in his hands, the expression on his face was very calm.

Zhu Youzhen's cold gaze stared at him, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Previously, he had already had murderous intentions towards Li Xiuwen, and he had suspected that Li Xiuwen was plotting rebellion, but he had not completely eliminated his vigilance, and now the other party had mobilized troops and horses without authorization, which had touched his bottom line.

This move is tantamount to rebellion!

In the army of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many generals who could be transferred privately, but the situation of the Shenji Battalion was relatively special, and those generals were all pulled up by Li Xiuwen, and he was really transferred out to fight.

Also, even the supervisor of Guan Ning's army dared to detain it privately and send out the army to reinforce it, how could such a rebellious thing be tolerated and connived?

What makes Zhu Youzhen embarrassed is that the victory of the giant deer this time was really won under the leadership of Li Xiuwen, and if this person is beheaded, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of the soldiers.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty army rarely won victories, and Li Xiuwen repelled the Qing army far superior to his own number with 40,000 people, which is enough to show that this person does have some talent, if he kills like this, wouldn't it be a pity?

The question now is whether Li Xiuwen has the intention of rebellion.

If so, kill them decisively!

If not, you can keep it for yourself.

"Li Xiuwen, are you guilty?" Zhu Youzhen asked coldly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know what crime he has committed?"

Of course, Li Xiuwen knew that he was guilty, but now he must not let go easily, and first occupy the word "reason", which is more important than anything else.

"Hmph-"

Zhu Youzhen sneered and said sharply: "You mobilized troops and horses without authorization, this move is tantamount to rebellion!" Do you still dare to say that you are not guilty? ”

Li Xiuwen had already responded to this, and replied: "The minister has heard about it, and he will not be subject to military orders outside." At that time, the minister had already sent people to Pegasus back to Beijing to play His Majesty, but the situation was urgent at that time, if he waited for His Majesty's will to arrive, the fighter plane had been lost, how could he talk about reinforcements? ”

After a pause, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was silent, Li Xiuwen continued: "Gao Qi sneaked into the prison army, but because of personal grievances, he transferred the Guan Ning army and abandoned Lord Lu's 5,000 Heavenly Heroes. Governor Zhang Qiping is particularly hateful, he actually cut off Lord Lu's food, during the battle of Julu, Lord Lu's 5,000 lone army has already been out of food for several days, they encountered ten times their own enemy troops at Songshui Bridge, how to deal with it? ”

Li Xiuwen was heartfelt, and pointed the finger directly at Yang Sichang. He didn't blame Yang Sichang openly, because it was easy to put himself in a disadvantageous position. Yang Sichang is not as high as Gao Qiqian, this person is extremely insidious, he was arrested and imprisoned before, it was this person's strategy that allowed Zhu Youzhen to arrest Sun Mingwen and Han Lin and torture him, trying to murder himself.

He still knows a little about Zhu Youzhen, and knows that this emperor is just a little confused sometimes, and the governor Zhang Qiping does not pay salaries, which is probably due to Yang Sichang's instructions, and he can still guess some.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng's main battle before, and there was a conflict with Yang Sichang's lord, it is inevitable that there will be some personal grievances, and the possibility of Yang Sichang's personal vendetta is still very large.

Seeing that he was still silent, Li Xiuwen increased his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for daring, begging Your Majesty to kill these two people, make the decision for Lord Lu, and avenge the grievances of the soldiers who died on the battlefield in nearly 10,000 battles!! ”

Faced with Li Xiuwen's pressing step by step, Zhu Youzhen didn't know how to deal with it for a while. If this matter is really as he said, Gao Qiqian and Zhang Qiping really deserve to die, and even Yang Sichang may be involved in this matter.

Li Xiuwen had already told the matter, and once the soldiers who were fighting outside learned the truth, their hearts would inevitably overflow with anger, and if they did not make any statement, I am afraid it would be difficult to calm down the matter.

But for Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Youzhen doesn't have much good impression now, because he has agreed with Yang Sichang's suggestion and intends to negotiate peace with the Qing army.

This Lu Xiangsheng wants to fight the main battle, which is really not enlightened!

In Zhu Youzhen's mind, he has always felt that Gao Qiqian has military talent, but he doesn't know that this person is just a vain appearance, and he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight at all.

It didn't matter if Governor Zhang Qiping killed him, but let him kill Gao Qiqian, he was really reluctant in his heart, so he asked: "Is there conclusive evidence for what you said?" ”

Evidence?

Li Xiuwen felt that Zhu Youzhen's question was really funny, what can be regarded as evidence for such a thing? To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to kill Gao Qiqian!

"Yang Tinglin, the head of the military department, accompanied the army to Lord Lu's side, and has been sent to Gao Qiqian many times to ask for help, but Gao Qiqian is indifferent to this, Your Majesty thinks, is this considered evidence?"

"20,000 Guan Ning troops were transferred away by Gao Qi and stationed in Jize County, Lord Lu fought alone, he did not send a single reinforcement, after the minister's personal entourage arrived, he asked him for help, he still ignored it, if it were not for the recklessness of the minister's personal entourage, he took his seal and sent reinforcements, I am afraid that the soldiers of the more than 10,000 Shenji battalions of the minister will also be wiped out, and the whole army can be testified to!!"

Li Xiuwen indignantly complained to him about Gao Qiqian's crime, and the volume unconsciously increased a few points, which made Zhu Youzhen unhappy in his heart, and pointed at him and reprimanded angrily: "Li Xiuwen, you are bold!! ”

Li Xiuwen didn't want him to kill him in a fit of anger, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said: "The minister's words are speechless, offending Tianyan, the crime deserves death, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, I will cure your sins today!"

Zhu Youzhen patted the dragon book case and shouted: "Escort this person out of the noon gate, and the court staff is fifty, to set an example!" ”

Fifty of the cane?

Li Xiuwen was stunned, and couldn't guess what Zhu You's thoughts were.

In the early days, when Zhu Yuanzhang first pioneered this law, it was stipulated that 80 sticks should be beaten, and every five sticks should be replaced by one person, and a total of 16 people should be used. However, in the later period, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are not as ruthless as him, and they often don't beat so many sticks.

After all, many people have been cold for ten years, and it is not easy to get an official in the DPRK after being admitted to the Jinshi, they are all a lot old, and if they really fight too much, they can't bear it.

Of course, many perverted officials are proud of it. If you use a court cane, you can exchange yourself for the reputation of "daring to speak directly", even if you die, you feel very honorable and can go down in history.

Li Xiuwen doesn't have this perverted hobby, he just wants to live a good life and live as long as possible.

Whether the court staff can kill people depends mainly on the emperor's intentions, if you really want to kill people, thirty court canes are enough. I don't know how many ministers of the Ming Dynasty died under these dozens of court staffs.

Li Xiuwen asked the guards to drag him out, and Cao Huachun also followed behind to supervise the execution.

Zhu Youzhen summoned a little eunuch and ordered: "Go, Yang Tinglin, the head of the Xuanbing Department, is here to see me." ”

"Slave and maid obey—" (To be continued.) )
