Xuanda is the northern barrier of the Beijing Division, and we must choose a capable and daring person to go out of the town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Continuing to come and go as much as you want as before, is not only a shame for the Ming Dynasty, but also a shame for him, the Ming Emperor, and an emperor like that. What else does it mean in front of you

Listening to Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen paced, considering the candidate for the governor of Xuanda.

In his heart, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng are all suitable candidates, and these three people are also the pillars of talent selected by him.

After walking for a while, he stopped and asked Wang Chengen: "Big companion, you said Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, which of these three people is more suitable to be the governor of Xuanda!" ”

Hearing these three names, Wang Chengen lowered his head and pondered......

After thinking for a while, he bowed down and said, "Who does Your Majesty like the most?" ”

If a eunuch wants to be promoted, he must first find out the master's heart, so that he can say what the master likes to hear and do a good job of the master's explanation, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Chengen can be trusted by Chongzhen.

After hesitating for a moment, Chongzhen said: "Of course it's Hong Chengchou, this person is obedient and capable, and it's easier to use." ”

The implication is that the other two are a little disobedient.

After figuring out the master's thoughts, Wang Chengen knew how to speak.

Glancing at Chongzhen, Wang Chengen bowed down and said respectfully: "What Your Majesty said is that the minions have the same idea as Your Majesty, but Lord Hong is now the governor of the three sides, and the three sides are located in the northwest, which is the nest of the Liukou, and in the face of the Mongolian Tartars, it must be a ruthless person like Lord Hong, and Lord Hong can't leave." ”

"You're right, Lian didn't dare to transfer him to Xuanda because he was worried about this problem." Chongzhen nodded.

Wang Chengen continued: "Since Lord Hong can't move, then I can only consider Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, both of whom are good and can be qualified as the governor of Xuanda, but Sun Chuanting's qualifications are shallow. At this point, he said nothing, because the answer was already in the air.

"Lian, I see." Chongzhen said.

The next morning, a team of brocade guards escorted a eunuch to Nanyang.

After another day, Gao Yingxiang, who was looking forward to Chongzhen, was finally escorted to the Beijing Division, with thousands of cavalry in front and behind, thousands of strong soldiers in the middle, and a sturdy prisoner cart in the innermost, Gao Yingxiang wore a flail and a lock on his head, standing inside, with heavy iron shackles on his feet. The prison cart was heavily guarded, and anyone who tried to get close was confronted with a bright stream of knives, guns, and arrows.

"Look, that's Gao Yingxiang, the leader of the rogues." The people excitedly pointed to the prisoner cart.

Looking at the leader of the rogue with scattered hair and dirt in the prisoner car, the people of Jingshi were boiling, and they rushed to the side of the prison car, wanting to see the true face of this famous rogue leader who had been running for many years and led the troops to burn down the mausoleum of Taizu.

For Gao Yingxiang, there is almost nothing that the people of Daming do not know.

In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he led the crowd to rise up and proclaimed himself King Chuang, and it has been nine years since then. In the past nine years, many of the leaders of the rogue Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong have been surrounded and exterminated, but this person has been alive and well, and the imperial court has sent countless elite soldiers to encircle and suppress him, but they can't catch him.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, he led the army to break through Fengyang, destroyed the ancestral tomb of Taizu, and the news reached the Beijing Division, and the emperor put on plain clothes to mourn and sent officials to the temple to pay tribute.

Now, I have finally caught this legendary rogue leader, and I don't regret not taking a look.

"Stay away! Stay away! The officers and soldiers who escorted them shouted loudly and slapped their guns at some of the people who wanted to get close to the prisoner van.

The officer who escorted was Zuo Guangxian, the chief soldier under Hong Chengchou's account.

Zuo Guangxian is known for his bravery, this escort, Hong Chengchou designated him as the escort officer, in order to ensure the safety of the road, Sun Chuanting sent two thousand Qin troops, Hong Chengchou sent two thousand Hong troops, and five hundred Guanning iron cavalry, relying on thousands of elite soldiers and sophisticated equipment, along the way, he has eliminated several units to save Gao Yingxiang's rogues.

Chongzhen, who was in the early dynasty, heard that Gao Yingxiang had been escorted to the capital, so he stood up from the dragon chair excitedly, and said to Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard: "Tian Ergeng, you quickly take one hundred Jinyi guards and five hundred forbidden troops to escort the thief Gao Yingxiang to the Huangji Palace, and I want to take a look at this thief in person, and I will humiliate him fiercely." ”

"Yes." Tian Ergeng bowed and agreed, then turned around and went out.

Chongzhen and the civil and military ministers in the hall looked out of the hall with blank eyes, waiting to see what the leader of the rogue who had been circulating in the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty for nearly nine years looked like.

Chongzhen's heart was excited, he was thinking about how to humiliate the thief to the greatest extent after seeing the thief

He thought to himself: "If it weren't for these rogues making trouble inside, I could have transferred Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou and others to fight the Tartars, with these capable ministers, it would be impossible for the Tartars to be so arrogant, and now all the humiliation I have suffered is because of these rogues, and when I see the high thief, I will humiliate him well, and then cut him with a thousand knives, so as to vent the hatred of the wind and the sun to destroy the tomb." ”

Soon, the Jinyi guards and the forbidden army came to the outside of the Imperial Palace with a prisoner cart, and then opened the prisoner cart, and four strong tall forbidden soldiers carried Gao Yingxiang's limbs into the Imperial Palace, and then tied him to the tall pillar with iron chains. After doing this, more than a dozen forbidden soldiers and brocade guards retreated to the side.

Chongzhen saw that Gao Yingxiang was tied, so he stepped off the platform, walked in front of Gao Yingxiang, and looked at it.

The ministers followed, and stood aside to watch.

Chongzhen carefully observed Gao Yingxiang, he couldn't think of what this person was capable of, why he was able to lead some rabble to defeat the encircled and suppressed officials.

Those rogues, Chongzhen knows, even the swords, guns, bows and arrows are not complete, let alone have armor, but the officials and soldiers who are better equipped than the rogues can't take those rabble, they drag on for eight or nine years, spend countless money and food, and kill and wound countless soldiers, until now they finally caught this traitor who disturbed the Ming Dynasty.

But when I looked closely, I saw that he didn't have anything outstanding except for his burly physique and thick limbs.

Disappointed, Chongzhen began to think about how to humiliate this traitor.

"You are Zhu Youzhen?" At this time, Gao Yingxiang spoke.

Looking at the young man in front of him wearing an imperial robe embroidered with several golden dragons, Gao Yingxiang knew that this person was Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who ruled tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, so he called him by his name.

"Thief, you are so daring, you dare to call His Majesty's holy name?" Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, scolded loudly.

Glancing at him with disdain, Gao Yingxiang asked, "Who are you who dare to scold Lao Tzu?" ”

"Xue Guoguan, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Xue Guoguan said proudly.

Gao Yingxiang said sarcastically: "You are just a bunch of stinky ****, and you think you are sorry, ...... you" said, and spat at Xue Guoguan.

"You, you ......" Xue Guoguan trembled with anger, pointing at Gao Yingxiang speechless

Glancing at him, Chongzhen said, "You stand down and come and talk to him." ”

Xue Guoguan stared at Gao Yingxiang viciously a few times, and then stepped aside.

Glancing at Gao Yingxiang, Chongzhen asked, "Why did you rebel?" ”

"You asked Lao Tzu why he rebelled, and Lao Tzu told you that Lao Tzu had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and if he didn't rebel, he would starve to death and freeze to death." Gao Yingxiang roared loudly.

After a pause, Chongzhen said: "Didn't the Union allocate 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver, and ordered the magistrates to distribute relief food, didn't you?" ”

Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang laughed.

After laughing, he said angrily: "There is a great drought in the northwest, several people are waiting to be fed, in order to survive, millions of people starved to death on the way to escape the famine, and the 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver you sent down, after layers of deductions, at most only 10,000 taels arrived at the place, even if 10,000 taels of silver were all bought into food, it was enough for millions of victims to eat a few meals." In order to survive, countless people have changed their children and eaten, even those who have died for three days have been dug up and cooked, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl only sells five steamed buns, do you know these things? You don't know. ”

Chongzhen didn't know these things at all, he couldn't imagine that the hungry people's exit was so miserable, and when he thought of the hungry people cooking the stinky meat of the dead and eating, his stomach twitched and he was nauseous and nauseous.

"Didn't the Union also order the magistrates to distribute relief food? Didn't they send it? Chongzhen asked with no discomfort.

Looking at him with contempt, Gao Yingxiang said: "It's been sent, it's only been sent for one day, and each person has only been given a small handful of rice, this small handful of rice, it's not enough to even drink rice soup, what's the use." ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen turned his head and asked Hou Sui, the head of the household department: "Hou Qing, in addition to the disaster relief silver, didn't the federation also allocate a part of the relief grain?" Didn't the food go down? ”

Hou Sui, the word is true, and the number is Ruogu. He is a native of ZY District, HNSQ City. In the year of Bingchen of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1616), he was awarded the history of SX Dao. Donglin Party members. During the Apocalypse, he was dismissed because of his struggle with the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Ren HN Dao Yushi was used again. In the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633), he served as the head of the household department. At the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen, because of the jealousy of the cabinet ministers Xue Guoguan and Wen Tiren, Xue and Wen instigated Song Zhipu and others to impeach Hou for misleading the country. Hou was cut from his post and soon imprisoned. In 1644, Li Zicheng defeated BJ and refused to be appointed as an official and returned home to live in seclusion.

Listening to the emperor's questioning, Hou Sui bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's will, the old minister has allocated 30,000 stone rice noodles to Shanxi and HN and other provinces, these are all on record, Your Majesty can send someone to the household department to investigate in detail if you don't believe it." ”

Hou Sui is serious in his work, and Chongzhen knows it.

looked at Hou Sui, and saw that his face was serious, so he nodded, turned his head and asked Gao Yingxiang: "You heard it, Lian didn't lie to you, the food was indeed allocated, and Lian is not a faint monarch who doesn't care about the lives of the victims." ”

Hearing this, Gao Yingxiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed......

"Death is on the verge of death, what else do you have to laugh about?" Chongzhen rebuked angrily.
