After all, Cao Huachun had some unclear relationship with Huang Sheng, and when he was the governor of Dongchang, he received the help of the Huang family several times, and of course he reciprocated the favor.

When he saw that the emperor was angry about the king of Qiongya County secretly arresting the chief military officer of the imperial court, he immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty is angry, and the king of Qiongya County is afraid that there is a reason for the arrest of the left general soldier. The old slave saw the performance of many adults, and they all said that the left general soldier had committed heinous crimes. ”

Emperor Chongzhen suppressed his anger and said suspiciously: "Heinous crimes? Cao Banban, take a few copies and read them to me. ”

The Emperor was extremely tired, leaning back in the dragon chair and listening with his eyes closed.

Cao Huachun read and read, but after reading the three parts, suddenly, the irritable Chongzhen "Bang!" With a bang, he smashed the tea cup brought by Wang Chengen, and scolded: "Is this still a Ming general?" He's not even as good as a rogue, he can't be counted as a human being! ”

Cao Huachun added fire and said: "The old slave's recitation is not groundless, and the content of the performance is accompanied by evidence in court, and it is signed and signed by the bitter master. ”

Chongzhen stared at Cao Huachun with round eyes and asked, "Why?" Why? Are you blind in the imperial history of the imperial court and the matter? This person has been running amok for so long without any notice? ”

Cao Huachun explained: "Your Majesty, in the past, there were also imperial histories that impeached Zuo Zongbing for killing good and risky merits, but when the court hired people, it was not too pursued. ”

Chongzhen, who didn't allow sand in his eyes, said: "How can this be reasonable, with such a murderer, the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species will not be far away." ”

These words were heavy, and Cao Huachun didn't dare to say anything. Chongzhen was so angry that he gasped, and said for a long time: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and the chief military officer of the imperial court was even more murderous than the thieves, no wonder there were revelations everywhere." ”

Cao Huachun had nothing to say and could only comfort: "Your Majesty is angry, don't be angry with such a villain." ”

The emperor was still running wild, and said: "Such villains are in high positions, how can the common people make a living, no wonder the smoke is everywhere, no wonder the common people want to rebel." ”

After a long time, Chongzhen, who had calmed down, decided to wait and see what happened, and put Zuo Liangyu's matter aside first.

He said to Wang Chengen: "Wang accompanies you, and the platform is discussed." ”

The theme of the platform discussion changed, and the emperor originally thought that the king of Qiongya County was deliberately provoking the imperial court and wanted to convene important ministers to discuss how to deal with it.

Now Chongzhen thinks that Zuo Liangyu deserves to die, and he doesn't mind Huang Sheng capturing the thief general without authorization.

The problem is that the chaos in the south and north of the Jiangbei has become a success, and there will be hundreds of thousands of displaced people there, and the imperial court will not be able to provide relief, and these displaced people will soon become exiles.

In the end, the emperor had to use 100,000 taels of internal funds to send his more trusted eunuch Gao Qi to Fengyang Mansion to buy grain to help the displaced people.

In the next day, there was a recital of Zuo Liangyu's crimes, which was very different from the previous performances in the middle of the matter and the imperial history, and there were many confessions with red handprints, witnesses and evidence, and the time and place were clear at a glance.

Emperor Chongzhen was furious again, not because he was angry with the king of Qiongya County, but because he hated the general soldier Zuo who raised his own dignity and indulged in trouble.

Because of the progress of the digging operation organized by Li Xihan, the emperor saw a large number of new crimes confessed by Zuo Liangyu.

In the confession with conclusive evidence, it was clearly confessed that Zuo Liangyu had repeatedly used the wealth of the rogue to let them escape, including Zhang Xianzhong, who dug up the ancestral grave of the Zhu family Fengyang.

Zuo Liangyu has killed Liang and risked his merits many times, he should be cut in half, and he should be cut in half for the robbery and slaughter of the people, and he can be cut by a thousand knives by raising his own self-respect, and he deliberately connived at Zhang Xianzhong to cause this thief to have the opportunity to dig up the ancestral grave of the Zhu family, which is enough to connect the nine clans.

On the platform again, Chongzhen asked a cadre of important ministers how to deal with Zuo Liangyu, and how to praise the king of Qiongya County for his courage to stand up for the court and capture the guilty generals among thousands of troops.

Gao Di, Wang Zhichen and several cabinet ministers exchanged heads, and the king of Qiongya County was not a bastard, and he did not act as pretentious as Yuan Chonghuan, and directly killed Mao Wenlong on trumped-up charges to deal with Zuo Liangyu.

Now that Zuo Liangyu is still alive and well, what should the court do?

In order to let the thief general go all out to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, Yang Sichang, who is now a major minister with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is the person who asked Zuo Liangyu for the title of "Ping Thief General" in history, and he is now the most relied on by Emperor Chongzhen.

Yang Sichang is a rare talent in ancient times, and he belongs to a commander with strategic vision, but unfortunately he is terminally ill at this time, even so, he still works hard.

Yang Sichang firmly believed that if the Ming Dynasty died, he would inevitably die in the rogues, and the firm implementation of the external strategy must be based on the internal strategy, offering "four positive and six corners" and "ten-sided nets", and the responsibility for the implementation is assigned to the people, so that the civil and military forces involved in the encirclement and suppression of the rogues cannot shirk and pull the blame.

Yang Sichang suggested that the Ming Dynasty should make peace with Jiannu first, and then accumulate strength to liquidate Jiannu's rebellious behavior after quelling the civil strife and surviving the current crisis, and he also used the example of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to persuade Chongzhen.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has a group of inflexible ministers led by Huang Daozhou, who angrily denounced Yang Sichang as a complete traitor.

In the end, more than ninety percent of the ministers of the imperial court took a stand, and also gave an example to illustrate, of course, that the Ming Emperor was arrested by Wara during the Tumubao Change, and did not sign the alliance under ......the city.

Alas! If the stubborn Ming Dynasty was not so stubborn, measuring China's material resources like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and forming a friendship with the country, I am afraid that he may not die at the hands of Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen trusted Yang Sichang quite a lot, and he finally really got a talent with real learning, but unfortunately God was jealous of the ...... talent.

Yang Sichang thinks that Zuo Liangyu should be dead, there is no use value, as a military general, Zuo Liangyu has no soldiers under his command, and generals without soldiers are useless to the imperial court.

Zuo Liangyu was locked in a dog cage and humiliated by Shengdou Xiaomin for a few months, and he has long lost his majesty, and his crimes have been revealed to the world, of course, he is innocent.

Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu's crime is unforgivable, and I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to escort this person back to Beijing to ask for the crime." ”

Shoufu Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zuo Liangyu's people are so angry that it is enough to Ling Chi. ”

The second assistant king Yingxiong and the important ministers had no objections, and asked the emperor to issue an order to send Zuo Liangyu back to Beijing to correct the law to set an example.

The emperor had already had murderous intentions, and when he saw that Yang Sichang and other ministers had asked to return Zuo Liangyu to the law, he immediately issued an edict to implement it.

Today's governor of Dongchang is the ceremonial eunuch Li Chengfang, and Cao Huachun has been promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, becoming the first eunuch.

The specifications of Zuo Liangyu to escort the important prisoner were not low, and the minister sent by the Qin Messenger was Liu Ruozai, and hundreds of people from Dongchang Fan and Jinyi Weizu went to Henan.

Without Zuo Liangyu, the battle still has to be fought, Hong Chengchou is not a vegetarian, Cao Wenzhao and Ma Shihu's cavalry are not ambiguous, the Ming army saw that the main general was ruthless and finally did not dare to fight a live battle, and a fierce attack drove the Liukou out of Nanzhili. 10
