Today's third update is delivered! , Zhang Zhun said coldly: "This is Jinyiwei's report, and there is also Emperor Chongzhen's handwritten comments on it, are you blind?" Still pleading? Are you still eligible to plead? Lu Xiangsheng roared angrily: "Slander! This is complete slander! Zhang Zhun sneered slightly, looking disdainful.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes cracked, and a layer of sickly blood red appeared all over his body, as if blood would burst out from under his skin at any time. He squeezed both of his hands, trembling slightly. Obviously, his heart was extremely angry. He was like a lion in a fiercely bound manner, and despite his anger, he could not get the slightest vent. Because, there is no place for him to vent here.

It turned out that this piece of music was given to Emperor Chongzhen by the commander of Jinyiwei, and there was also Emperor Chongzhen's handwritten comments on it, and the time was three years of Chongzhen. In the recital, Jin Yiwei clearly pointed out that Lu Jisheng's Tianxiong Army sympathized with the rebels, and it was very likely that they themselves would become traitors. Therefore, Jin Yiwei specially reminded the imperial court to prevent Lu Xiangsheng and the rogues from colluding and stealing national weapons.

In this recital, the most fatal part is Zu Kuan's testimony. Zu Kuan is Zu Dashou's domestic servant, because he is brave in battle and does not kill people eye-catchingly, and finally became a general. The 3,000 Liaodong cavalry he commanded was the strongest combat power under Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng's own Tianxiong Army did not have many cavalry, and when fighting a tough battle, he had to rely on Zu Kuan's cavalry strength.

However, Zu Kuan and his subordinates have a very prominent problem: "That is, military discipline is loose and difficult to restrain it." These people burn, kill and loot, they are more fierce than the rogues, especially the ** women. Wherever Zu Kuan's troops passed, "as long as there was a young woman with a slight appearance, they were forcibly **." The slightest disobedience is to use knives and axes, cut into meat pulp, and then kill people and rob their homes according to the crime of being a thief.

When Lu Xiangsheng led the army to recover Queshan, there was a very tragic scene. At that time, Li Zicheng led the rogues to retreat, the official army was stationed, and the people of Queshan came up to welcome the arrival of the official army. As a result, Zu Kuan and his subordinates crowded into the crowd one after another, "dragged out the beautiful woman, brought her back to the barracks and forcibly **." Some of the women who were defiled committed suicide on the spot, causing an extremely bad impact in the local area.

That night, the people of Queshan were incited to revolt against the officials and soldiers. Zu Kuan opened the killing ring and slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Queshan. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stop it. This incident, although suppressed by the imperial court, became the fuse for the people in the surrounding counties to rebel against the official army, "They fled one after another to rebel against the official army." As a result, Li Zicheng's troops "increased by 30,000 or 40,000 at once, making Lu Xiangsheng exhausted and desperate."

Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly stopped Zu Kuan's atrocities, Zu Kuan agreed on the surface, but in fact, behind the scenes, he still went his own way, burning, killing, and plundering. Relying on the power of the Liaodong military group, Zu Kuan even openly confronted Lu Xiangsheng. In several major military operations, Zu Kuan deliberately found excuses not to participate, resulting in Lu Xiangsheng being unable to smoothly encircle the Liukou.

However, Zu Kuan is from Liaodong and is not subordinate to Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, and Lu Xiangsheng is helpless. Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly complained to the court, impeached Zu Kuan's crimes, and demanded that he be replaced, but the court did not make the slightest move, as if he didn't know about it at all. This somewhat made Lu Xiangsheng feel that his efforts were completely in vain.

It was not easy for him to kill tens of thousands of thieves, but Zu Kuan came casually, and tens of thousands of thieves were born. Pressing the gourd to float up, even if he Lu Xiangsheng has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to calm down all the Liukou! However, even so, Lu Xiangsheng still didn't expect that Zu Kuan would actually accuse himself of being a traitor!

In his testimony, Zu Kuan pointed out that Lu Xiangsheng was a thief with self-respect, secretly fornicating with the thief leader and other crimes. If these charges are calculated, even if Lu Xiangsheng is exterminated, it is normal. Even, Lu Xiangsheng's crime is no less serious than Zhang Zhunlai's. Others Zhang Zhun has not been charged with such a crime as slander.

The most terrible thing is that the several battle examples mentioned by Zu Kuan in his testimony were indeed Lu Xiangsheng's relenting heart for a while and letting go of some traitors with less criminal responsibility. Among the traitors at that time, there were some children who were not yet ten years old, and there were many helpless women, could he Lu Xiangsheng kill them all? Of course not. But I don't have the ability to settle them, what should I do? Eventually, he had to let them go. As a result, such behavior has become ironclad evidence that the enemy has returned to the nest and embraced the thief's self-respect.

And Emperor Chongzhen's comments made Lu Xiangsheng even more dumbfounded. Emperor Chongzhen's comment was very simple, only two short sentences, ten words. The first sentence is "closely monitored." The second sentence is "If necessary, there is no forgiveness for killing." Seeing these two criticisms, Lu Xiangsheng felt a chill down his spine. In the past few years, I feel very down-to-earth, but in fact, I don't know that I am completely living on the edge of a cliff, and if I am not careful, I will fall to pieces. This huge contrast, even Lu Xiangsheng, is difficult to bear.

"Zu Kuan! You thief! Lu Xiang was so angry that he scolded.

was accused of being a traitor by his subordinates, and Lu Xiangsheng's last psychological bottom line completely collapsed. He can accept anything, but he can't accept the fact that he is a traitor. He worked hard all his life, crawled and rolled, and even went into battle in person, killing countless rebels, and in the end, he actually became a traitor, how can he accept this?

Zhang Zhun disdainfully took back the piece, tore it into very small pieces casually, and then threw the pieces into the sky. The howling north wind blew away all the debris, leaving no trace. Zhang Zhun clapped his hands and said coldly: "You are a coward, how can you take Zu Kuan?" Playing to the Emperor? Do you have this opportunity? Before Lu Xiangsheng reacted, he wanted to completely destroy this movement. Because, this piece of music is completely Xibei goods, and it was forged by Zhang Zhun. All the concertos shown to Lu Xiangsheng in front are genuine, but the last one is fake, and Lu Xiangsheng, who is agitated, has preconceived ideas and does not see it at all. In fact, "this piece is the real killer" is also Zhang Zhun's last killer copper.

In fact, after reading this recital, Lu Xiangsheng was indeed confused, "with a blank face." He felt cheated. The person who deceived him was none other than Emperor Chongzhen, whom he respected the most. He thought that Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand him and misunderstood himself, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all, and Emperor Chongzhen has been guarding himself from beginning to end.

Perhaps, it's because of the relationship between the Tianxiong Army?

Lu Xiangsheng questioned himself painfully.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the Kou for the first time, besieged the Beijing Division, the situation was very critical, and the imperial court issued an edict to King Qin, requiring the troops from all over the country to quickly go to the Beijing Division to assemble against the Tartars. Lu Xiangsheng, who was the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion of Beizhili at the time, immediately formed a regimental training team of 3,000 people and went north to Beijing to master King Qin. As a result, by the time he arrived at Jingshi, the Tartars had already retreated.

Although he didn't fight with Tartar, Chongzhen was still very satisfied with Lu Xiangsheng's performance. Subsequently, Chongzhen personally met with Lu Xiangsheng and said a few words of encouragement. There is no doubt that Chongzhen's encouragement made Lu Xiangsheng feel that he was highly appreciated by the emperor, and even if he was full of liver and brain, he could not repay Chongzhen's trust.

Soon after, Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the front line of suppressing the Liukou. He himself deeply felt that he could not live up to the emperor's grace and could not let Chongzhen be disappointed in himself, so he went to the front line in every battle, took the lead, and stained his battle robe with blood. As a civilian official, he carried a machete to kill people in person, which more or less stimulated the morale of the officers and soldiers. In the end, the Liukou were killed by Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng himself was also promoted to the right deputy capital Yushi, the governor of the five provinces, and continued to kill the Liukou.

All along, Lu Xiangsheng has been silently warning himself that Emperor Chongzhen trusts him so much that he can't repay him if he is broken. No matter how difficult the state affairs are, I must resolutely stand with Chongzhen and fight to the death for Chongzhen. However, Zhang Zhun's performance made the glorious image of Emperor Chongzhen in Lu Xiangsheng's heart shatter instantly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not trust him, but used him. The gap between trust and utilization is indeed too big. It is impossible to make people feel loyal by simply using it, which is the most basic truth. From being trusted by the emperor to being used by the emperor, it is equivalent to falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and the taste can be imagined. This piece of cultivation was sent to Emperor Chongzhen when the Tianxiong Army had just participated in the suppression of thieves. Obviously, from that time on, Emperor Chongzhen was not at ease with himself and the Tianxiong Army he formed. Thinking that not long after, Zu Kuan was taken the initiative by the imperial court to assist him in the battle, and Lu Xiangsheng's heart became even darker.

In the past, he thought that Zu Kuan's arrival was because the court cared for him and wanted to strengthen his own strength so that he could better suppress thieves. Now, it seems, that's not the case at all. Zu Kuan is here to monitor himself and to curb the development of the Tianxiong Army. Therefore, Zu Kuan will behave so uncooperatively, will behave so strongly, and his impeachment of Zu Kuan will not have any effect. To put it bluntly, it is not Zu Kuan who the court does not trust, but he Lu Xiangsheng.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng knows very well that no matter what dynasty he is in, forming an army privately is a big or small thing. At that time, he walked out of his enthusiasm and out of loyalty to the emperor, so he formed the Tianxiong Army and wanted to make contributions to the country. Later, Lu Xiangsheng did go this way. He thinks that he has lived up to the emperor's grace and the people, and he deserves to act as a husband. Now, however, Lu Xiangsheng is silent.

Perhaps, his Tianxiong Army, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, is of the same nature as Zhang Zhun's Tiger Army? It's just that he is more obedient than Zhang Zhun and has not done anything unfavorable to the court, so Chongzhen endured it until now. To put it mildly, he is just a dog who is useful to the court and the emperor.

When the rescue of Gaoyang City failed, and the imperial court needed someone to be responsible, Emperor Chongzhen chose him without hesitation. Because, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to make room for Yang Sichang, so he had to give up on him Lu Xiangsheng. He is just a dog of the imperial court, and he can be abandoned at any time.

Thinking deeper, Lu Xiangsheng was even more creepy. Why did the imperial court order the Tianxiong army to fight? Why did Zu Kuan suddenly transfer it to Hong Chengchou before going to war? Idiots know that rushing to the aid of Gaoyang City is very risky, and it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out. The imperial court asked the Tianxiong Army to rescue Gaoyang City, did it want to borrow the hands of the Tartars to get rid of the Tianxiong Army? Since Zu Kuan is not from the Tianxiong Army, he will be temporarily transferred?

As for why Chongzhen let himself go, and did not step out of benevolence and out of pressure from all sides, there may be some other considerations. According to Mo Yu, it was Zhang Shenyan and Qiao Yunsheng who couldn't bear to see him Lu Xiangsheng being generously donated by Ling Chi, raised silver taels, bought Gao Qiqian, Chen Xinjia and others, interceded for him, and then dredged up other relationships at all levels, so that he finally saved his life.

Lu Xiangsheng believed Mo Yu's explanation. Because, he knows very well that Gao Qiqian is a person, if Gao Qiqian did not accept bribes and gamble, if Chen Xinjia did not accept bribes, it would be absolutely impossible for him to intercede. Therefore, his own life was completely bought, and it had nothing to do with Chongzhen's kindness. Perhaps, Chongzhen has never been kind to himself.

As long as he thought about it, Lu Xiangsheng felt that he was really sad. From the third year of Chongzhen to the ninth year of Chongzhen, in these six years, he exhausted all his efforts for the court and His Majesty the Emperor. tried to solve problems for the imperial court, and tried to completely calm down the thief and the big trouble for the imperial court, but what he got was the emperor's sub-word behind his back, "kill no * ......".

How ironic does this have to be? How stupid must you be? Except for someone as stupid as himself, would anyone else believe in the emperor's trust in him? I lost myself in my family letter, and said that I never regretted it in my life. However, now Lu Xiangsheng vaguely regrets himself, "How can a friend be like this?" "How so? "How so? Lu Xiangsheng muttered bitterly in his heart.

Seduced by Zhang Zhun's last recital, Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts went astray from the beginning. And what Zhang Zhun needs is that he is going on this wrong path. His Xibei Goods Piece was not concocted by Zhang Zhun himself, but by Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Qiao Yunsheng, and several other special talents, and it was Gao Hongtu himself who personally handled it.

With the skills of the three of them, Zhuge Liang conspired to calculate the agitated Lu Xiangsheng, it is strange that he is not fooled.

In fact, if Lu Xiangsheng could calm down, he should have noticed the loopholes. For example, if you want Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia to intercede for him, you must need a lot of silver taels, Zhang Shenyan and Qiao Yunsheng two, where did you get so many silver taels? Also, if it was just Zhang Shenyan and Qiao Yunsheng who wanted to save their lives, why did Zhang Zhun appear here? Also, since he was released from prison, he went back to his hometown in Southern Changzhou, and left after a good recuperation, why did the Tiger Ben Army send someone to forcibly take him away?

These loopholes are all Zhang Zhun's hard injuries, no matter how they are covered up, they can't be hidden, as long as Lu Xiangsheng thinks about it calmly, he will find that something is wrong.

It's a pity that the current Lu Xiangsheng's thinking is completely confused, and it is impossible to calm down. The shattering of Emperor Chongzhen's image in his heart hit him too hard. Within a few months, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't get used to it.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's expression, Zhang Zhun knew that the Xibei goods had taken effect. At this time, what he has to do is to refuse and welcome, and retreat as advance. resolutely cannot reveal any thoughts of trying to recruit Lu Xiangsheng. If you try to woo him, he may become suspicious. If he rejected him, or even sarcastically mocked him and hit him, Lu Xiangsheng would not have doubts.

Yes, at some point, some people, just have to deal with it that way. The so-called speed is not reached, which is probably what it means. For people like Lu Xiangsheng, it is necessary to grill on a high fire, and then roast it slowly to soften him. Therefore, Zhang Zhun said indifferently: "You have two more hours, and you will die of blood, you should calm down and go on the road with peace of mind!" ”

It's okay that he didn't speak, but when he said this, Lu Xiangsheng was a little aggrieved. Originally, Lu Xiangsheng's character had a more impulsive side, otherwise, Gao Hongtu's Xibei Cargo Concert would not have had such a big impact on Lu Xiangsheng. The three of them all calculated this accurately, and as a result, Lu Xiangsheng really hit the plan.

The so-called love is deep and hateful is cut, Lu Xiangsheng was indeed too loyal to Chongzhen before, loyal to the point of ignoring any conditions. Now, Emperor Chongzhen's image is shattered, and his hatred is also very strong. This kind of hatred is a hatred that is completely lost, and it is an irreparable hatred.

Of course, because of inertia, Lu Xiangsheng will not go to Emperor Chongzhen for the time being to seek back his innocence. He has a goal to vent on. This goal is to prove that he is Comrade Zu Kuan, a traitor. I saw Lu Xiangsheng's eyes wide, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't kill Zu Kuan, I won't be blind to death!" ”

Zhang Zhun smiled coldly, and said with a sarcastic face: "Lord Lu, you want to kill Zu Kuan?" How do you kill? Want me to give you a cutlassy? Come on, bring a scimitar! I want to see Lord Lu's ability to wield a scimitar and single-handedly kill Zhending Mansion! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes! How did he kill Zu Kuan?

The current Zu Kuan, but the chief military officer, is subordinate to Gao Qiqian's subordinates. Who is Gao Qi Qian? That was the Liaodong Prison Army, a powerful figure. Don't talk about Gao Qiqian, it is Zu Kuan's current direct boss, Hong Chengchou, who Lu Xiangsheng can't afford to provoke. What kind of character Hong Chengchou is, Lu Xiangsheng will not be unclear, since Zu Kuan is under the command of Hong Chengchou, he, Lu Xiangsheng, don't expect Hong Chengchou to hand him over.

He has been resigned, and there are four words "never used" in the back. What do these four words mean? is that if Chongzhen doesn't want to slap himself in the mouth, or if he is a son in the future and doesn't dare to slap his own mouth, he Lu Xiangsheng will never have the opportunity to be an official. If he doesn't become an official, how can he find trouble with Zu Kuan?

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Lu Xiangsheng vomited three liters of blood and fell unconscious to the ground.

Mo Yu was startled, and said in a lost voice: "My lord, he ......"

Zhang Zhun stood up, walked to Lu Xiangsheng's side, squatted down, reached out and touched Lu Xiangsheng's carotid artery, and found that the carotid artery was beating normally, so he said calmly: "It's okay, I'm angry, and I just fainted." ”

Mo Yu asked nervously, "The wound on his chest," ..."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Don't worry, I made a measured shot, the skin was traumatized, it looked terrifying, but it was actually fine." ”

Mo Yu was a little relieved.

Zhang Zhun's knife just now, he didn't see the way at all, and thought that Lu Xiangsheng was really killed by Zhang Zhun. In other words, Lu Xiangsheng's blood is really a lot!

Zhang Zhun stood up, clapped his hands, tilted his head and was unconscious, and said slowly: "He was stimulated by me so much, he will definitely not kill himself, you prepare some food and water, put it next to him, he will eat it himself." Just dress the wound casually, don't be too detailed. In general, don't care too much about him, don't show that we want to recruit him, and make him think that we are just being entrusted to rescue him. ”

Mo Yu said in a low voice, "My lord, is he really worth your doing?" ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I don't know, I hope it's worth it"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun clapped his hands and said calmly: "Okay, I'll go first." I believe that after Lu Xiangsheng wakes up, he should calm down and don't want to see me for the time being. I'll be following you from behind, and I'll be responsible for your safety, and if anything happens, send someone to come to me. ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "When necessary, you can give him a little look." If he can't bear it, you deliberately mention Zu Kuan's name, and he will definitely swallow his anger. ”

Mo Yu said a little nervously: "Okay! ”

Zhang Zhun immediately turned over and turned around.

Mo Yu hurriedly followed Zhang Zhun's instructions, first hastily bandaged Lu Xiangsheng's wounds, and then threw some food and water indiscriminately in his carriage. Sure enough, after Lu Xiangsheng woke up, he found that Zhang Zhun was gone, and when he thought of his own affairs, he couldn't help but feel sad, angry, and full of grievances and hatred.

Thinking of Chongzhen and Zu Kuan, Lu Xiangsheng no longer wanted to commit suicide on a hunger strike. He still has many unfulfilled wishes, and he still has to live to clear his grievances. He couldn't care so much, picked up food and water, and began to eat and drink.

"Good! That's it! ”

After receiving Mo Yu's report, Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

As long as Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to die, it will be easy to talk about the future.

His task has been completed, and the rest is Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan and Qiao Yunsheng. If the three of them joined forces, they would not be able to take down Lu Xiangsheng, and he would definitely despise them. In other words, as long as Lu Xiangsheng enters the territory of the Tiger Ben Army and wants to get out, it is basically impossible.
