Chapter 263: Liu Tie Stick Regent

Back to the CD) saw the complacent Gong Wanjing and Zhang Hong, before returning to the acting governor of Sichuan, with Gong Wanjing as the main envoy and Zhang Lang as the deputy envoy to the emperor to meet Emperor Yongli.

When passing through Wugang Mansion in Huguang Province (today's Shaoyang, Hunan), I happened to meet Emperor Zhu Youlang, which saved a lot of distance.

Wugang is the land of fish and rice, rich in products, beautiful mountains and rivers, and pleasant climate

Liu Chengyin, a professional cadre of the Ming army, was nicknamed "Liu Iron Stick" because he often used an iron rod.

During the Chongzhen period, "Liu Tiezhu" served as a general of Li Jing, and was promoted to deputy general because of the "special contribution" of quelling Wugang Yuan Youzhi's uprising and successfully rescuing the prince of Minwang.

During the Hongguang Dynasty, he was promoted to the chief soldier and was specifically responsible for guarding Wugang.

Under the pursuit of Li Chengdong, the governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fled for his life everywhere, this time from Guilin to Wugang, and was also warmly received by this "Liu Tieba" when he first arrived.

In order to express his gratitude, Emperor Yongli added his title of Dingmanbo from Emperor Longwu to the Marquis of Wugang, and later to the Duke of Anguo.

Wugang, where the folk customs are simple and beautiful, once attracted the attention of Emperor Yongli, who changed this place to Fengtianfu, intending to change from "temporary residence" to "long-term residence"

However, "Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people over time", and the "Liu Iron Stick" who was promoted to An Guogong gradually revealed his ugly and murderous face.

As the prince of the imperial court, Liu Chengyin of course presided over the government and made a fake Cao Cao to replace the emperor's regent.

Such a foreign monk wants to be windy and rainy, of course, those former court officials are dissatisfied, and many people even sarcastically mock Liu Chengyin in public.

I don't blame Liu Chengyin for being arrogant, since the Song and Ming dynasties, civil officials have become more and more powerful, and the status of military generals has become lower and lower.

Liu Tieba, who was born as a military general, and can't read and write, now has the authority of the imperial court, how can he have good fruits to eat if he doesn't listen to those scholars.

On the occasion of ushering in the send-off, above the court, Liu Tieba played the prestige of the grandfather of the country, and these literati did not give face at all.

The more the civil official group suppressed Liu Tieba, the more Liu Tiebago resisted, and the two sides almost became fire and water, which made Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang unhappy.

As the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter if the military generals admit it or not, they also need civil officials to maintain their most basic decency.

The more the two sides got into trouble, Liu Chengyin was extremely annoyed and provoked his subordinates to run to the palace to "ring" to Emperor Yongli, so that the emperor would be in charge of the house.

Under the persecution of the tiger's eye, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang had to mobilize the queen to take out the "hairpin jewelry" in the palace, which made the soldiers of "Suo Xiang" scatter in a hurry.

After this incident, Emperor Yongli's life in Wugang became "feeling tears and hating other birds", day and night, panicked.

After this incident, "Liu Tiebang" knew that the love between the monarch and the minister was extinct, and began to plot to abolish Yongli and set up his son-in-law King Min as the emperor.

After more than a month of trekking, Gong Wanjing and Zhang Hong, disguised as tea merchants, and his party arrived in Wugang in mid-April, at this time Liu Tieba was in conflict with Emperor Yongli, and heard that Yang Lin had defeated the Qing army, and Liu Tieba, who presided over the state affairs, invited Gong Wanjing Zhang Hong.

In the past few months, although everyone had heard the news of the defeat of the Qing army by the volunteers, everyone mostly took it as a rumor that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was invincible in the world, how could it be possible to capsize in the gutter and lose to the volunteers?

Now after hearing the arrival of the volunteers, everyone was shocked.

The two of them felt quite strange, they were ministers and envoys who should see the emperor, why did they see this Anguo Gong Liu Tiebang today.

But the volunteers were not treated well by the imperial court, and the last time they recovered the CD, they thought they would be rewarded, but who knows what kind of Yunyang governor they became by Fan Yixuan.

The two of them understood the situation of the volunteers in person, and when they set off, they could set a minimum goal, and in any case, they had to get the governor of Sichuan appointed by the imperial court, so as not to give people a bad name.

Two huge night pearls were sent, and they really met Liu Tieba.

Liu Tiezhu pointed to the report: "Two gentlemen, Yang Lin, the governor of Yunyang, defeated the army of 100,000 Tartars, and the real Tartars alone killed three or four thousand, and captured two thousand true Tartars, and the number of prisoners of the traitor troops in the Green Battalion reached 10,000, is this true?" ”

I could hear the other party's voice trembling, and there was a disbelief in his words, and everyone was no longer surprised to encounter this kind of scene along the way.

Gong Wanjing arched his hand, and said quite sincerely: "An Guogong, I participated in the military aircraft on the day of my humble position, which I really saw in my humble position, and there is nothing false about it."

Our lord is a genius, with a brigade of lone troops to restore Shunqing Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture, Bazhou, Dazhou and other places, and expel Zhang Xianzhong from CD), how heroic.

When the Tartars entered the Sichuan, our adults took advantage of the pride and arrogance of the Tartars to divide the troops and advance, resisted and consumed the opponent's sharp energy, introduced it into the city of Shunqing, and then used the excavated fortifications to consume the soldiers and horses of the Qing army's green battalion, tired the Tartar cavalry, and then counterattacked, defeating Haoge in one fell swoop, and winning the battle.

After that, the Lord led his troops to chase the enemy for thousands of miles, and the Tartars fought for seven rounds, the two sides confronted each other in Lizhou for more than a month, and then took advantage of the lack of supplies in the rear, and the reinforcements from all walks of China in Sichuan arrived when they arrived, killing Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and other enemy chiefs, and capturing Wang Zuntan, Bai Yongfu, and Liu Jinzhong, the commanders of the green battalion. ”

Although the strength of Liu Tie's department is not strong, it is still a person who knows the soldiers, and when he saw the two of them skillfully comparing on the map, he pondered for a long time and said: "Even if Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are alive that day, it is just like this, you volunteers, you Lord Yang are really heroes."

Two gentlemen, tell me, who killed this Yue Fei? ”

Shocked in his heart, Zhang Lang didn't dare to answer, but Gong Wanjing was smart, and asked with a smile: "An Guogong, I am ignorant, I don't know if it's true."

The history books have long said that this Yue Wumu was killed by Qin Hui, a traitorous minister, An Guogong, tell me, is it like this from time to time? ”

Liu Tiebang stood up and took two steps and said, "Hey, you also believe this kind of deception."

Think about it, although Qin Hui is a traitor, but if there is no order from Song Gaozong, ten Qin Hui would not dare to imprison Yue Fei, and ten Qin Hui would not dare to kill Yue Fei.

Now, you get the idea. ”

Gong Wanjing wiped away the beads of sweat on his face again and again, and said with admiration on his face: "Yes, that's true, An Guogong, what you said really made people feel stunned." ”

Liu Tieba patted Zhang Hong's shoulder and said, "Two gentlemen, you adults are loyal and righteous, do you also want your adults to end up like Yue Wumu in the future?" ”

The two of them were shocked, prostrate on the ground one by one, kowtowed again and again, and said one after another: "An Guogong, of course I don't want this."

An Guogong, our lord was persecuted by traitors in the imperial court, and was forced to serve as the governor of Yunyang in name only, and he could not grasp the real power.

An Guogong, we adults only want to be heroes like Yue Wumu, we volunteers only want to expel the Tartars and restore China, and we only want to repay the hearts of our courtiers. ”

Liu Tiezhu breathed a long sigh of relief, helped the two of them up, and after they sat down, he asked, "Mr. Gong, what do you say about the current emperor?" ”

Gong Wanjing hurriedly shook his head, looking very cramped and said: "Duke Anguo, we are unwilling to discuss the emperor as courtiers, the emperor is the grandson of Emperor Wanli, I dare not talk about it." ”

Liu Tieba patted the other party on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong, there are many governors in the world, in my opinion, you adults are a character, and you originally had the intention to accept it, but you actually played a false set for me, which is really disappointing." ”

Gong Wanjing was shocked, knelt down again, and said that Yang Lin was young but knew how to repay his kindness, and if the adults had any dispatch in the future, he would definitely go to the soup and fire when the time came.

This made Liu Tiebang very satisfied, and looked at the two of them and said: "It's not that you don't know that Emperor Wanli has not been in court for decades, and today there is such a disaster, because the emperor is not in court, and the government is controlled by some jealous and jealous people."

This Yongli Emperor, seeing that the Tartars were far away, ran away in a hurry, I think this throne should not be done by their people at all. ”

Gong Wanjing was shocked, wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said: "An Guogong, the emperor is not in a thousand ways, but we are courtiers, and we are courtiers, and we are ..... courtiers." ”

Liu Tieba patted Zhang Hong's shoulder and continued: "My son-in-law, King Min, is the ancestor of Gaozu, who is benevolent and filial, and is also kind to people, much stronger than this emperor.

Two gentlemen, doesn't Yang Lin want to be the governor of the fourth (Sichuan)? How about I ask the emperor for a clear decree to make him a marquis and make him the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi? ”

Gong Wanjing was frightened and didn't dare to answer.

Zhang Hong next to him took over the conversation and said: "An Guogong, this, this, this Fan Yixuan is old and has no prestige, if my family becomes the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, isn't it good?"

Besides, where is the seal of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi already in Fan Yixuan, will he not re-engrave one?

There are two governors of Sichuan and Shaanxi in this way, after all, it is a bit bad. ”

Liu Tiezhu pondered for a moment and said: "How can Yang Lin be such a hero and be subservient to such an old decay as Fan Yixuan, in this way, I ask the emperor for an edict to appoint Yang Lin as the Marquis of Peng, the governor of the fourth (Sichuan), and the governor of the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu.

And that Fan Yixuan was appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, specializing in exterminating the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong.

Look at it, my Liu Tieba is not like those sour Confucians who despise the martial arts, and my Liu Tieba has not treated you volunteers badly. ”

The two looked at each other, then knelt down, kowtowed again and again to express their gratitude, and repeatedly asked for a clear decree from the imperial court.

When Liu Tiezhu heard this, he laughed and patted a person on the shoulder with one hand, and was very pleased.
