Xu Qin said to Yang Qiuchi: "Who are you?" Can you see it? ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "My surname is Yang, as for my identity, I can't say it for the time being." Grandpa should know later. Speaking of this, his face sank, "I know that all this in Wuchang City was planned by you behind the scenes, am I right?" ”

Xu Qin's face showed a hint of approval: "Oh, what does Lord Yang know?" ”

"Your father Xu Huizu was loyal to Jianwen and led the army against Wang Shi, but the emperor was magnificent, and he did not pursue it afterwards, but let you inherit your father's title, but you were not grateful, but like your father, he tried to rebel and restore Emperor Jianwen. Right? ”

Xu Qin said coldly: "Gratitude? The cat cries and the mouse is just pretending to be merciful—you go on, and I listen. ”

"Last year, there was a locust plague in Wuchang Mansion for hundreds of miles, and the crops were not harvested, and you have predicted that there will be a large number of hungry people.

"You first secretly instructed Mi Yuanwai to let his domestic slaves spread the news everywhere, saying that only Wuchang Mansion would release grain for disaster relief, and no grain would be released in other places, so that the hungry people within a radius of hundreds of miles were recruited to Wuchang City."

"Then, you instructed Mi Yuanwai to use a huge bribe to force the political envoy and the prefect of Tan to comply, transferred all the grain for the two disaster relief to Mi Yuanwai, and spent a lot of money to buy the dart master of the Changsha Dart Bureau, and let them burn down the empty granary of the Yamen of the Buzheng Division. On the one hand, it frustrates disaster relief, and on the other hand, it stimulates the despair of the hungry people, putting them in an existential crisis before they can be used by you in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi asked with some puzzlement: "Isn't there a suitable candidate for the person who set the fire in the Jingshi?" Why did you go to Changsha to please? And you want to go in person? ”

Xu Qin said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, anyway, they won't be able to live if they do this - the head of their dart bureau was in the capital at the time, and this head of the dart used to be a personal soldier of my father." ”

Yang Qiuchi understood now, nodded, and continued: "That's right, you asked Mi Yuanwai to instruct the domestic slaves to spread the news, saying that the prefect's yamen was going to release grain tonight, and let the dart masters set fire to the granary again, and instigated to rush into the yamen to grab grain." ”

"If we hadn't put out the fire in time, stabilized the mood of the hungry people, and killed and captured the house slaves outside the rice workers who instigated the grain robbery, your plot would have succeeded."

Xu Qin sneered: "Conspiracy? What is my conspiracy? ”

"The hungry people storm the government to grab food, and in the chaos, your people will kill the court officials such as the envoy of the power, and when the hungry people find that there is no food and the court officials are killed, they will find that they have fallen into a situation where there is no way out."

"At this time, Mi Yuanwai will push you out, with the appeal of your father Xu Huizu swearing allegiance to Jianwen, and play the banner of recovering the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. Following you and rebelling is their only way. ”

"The reason why you came to Wuchang City this time is that you plan to play the role of raising your arms tonight, you have these tens of thousands of hungry people in your hands to form an army, this Wuchang City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is enough food in the city for your army to last for more than a year. It is still easy to defend Wuchang City. ”

"As long as you hold Wuchang City and fire this first shot (thinking about how to be like the Nanchang uprising), the news spreads, and the Jianwen Yu Party will naturally respond en masse, at that time, the world will be in chaos, and the smoke of gunpowder will be everywhere, and your so-called orthodox ideal of recovering the Ming Dynasty will see the light of day. - It's a pity that you met me! ”

Xu Qin applauded and praised: "Lord Yang, it's really amazing!" This little bit of my carving insect skill still can't escape your eyes, admire and admire! It's no wonder that Lord Yang became the envoy of the Jinyi Guard at a young age! ”

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback: "You know me? ”

Xu Qin sneered: "You have Jinyiwei, don't we have one?" Lord Yang, let me tell you, since you have chosen to be our enemy, you will not have a good life. I hope that when you go to bed every day, you will open your eyes and see the next day's sun! ”

Yang Qiuchi said abruptly: "If you dare to walk at night, you are not afraid of ghosts!" ”

Xu Qin praised again: "Good! Well said, it's a man! After a pause, he sighed, "If we have a few more men like you, why worry that the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will no longer be there!" ”

"Have you thought about it? Once you will become famous, your bones will wither, and when the war is going on, how many people will be displaced and their families ruined? Take your Wuchang City as an example, because of your conspiracy and tricks, you have caused hundreds of hungry people to starve to death on the streets! How can you bear it? ”

Xu Qin said: "Which dynasty and which generation of the country is not made of human bones? For the sake of Ming orthodoxy, what is the sacrifice of a few people? After the emperor recovers the country, he will be sympathetic to the people's feelings and reduce or exempt taxes. ”

This is the truth, although Emperor Jianwen was born with a weak surname, he really has nothing to say to the common people, and he can be regarded as a good emperor.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to debate these with him, and sighed: "You incite rebellion, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?" You must know that although you are the Duke of Wei, the current emperor may not tolerate your rebellion and rebellion. ”

Xu Qin said brazenly: "Wang Fa? What else does the king of the thief talk about! Since you know my identity, of course you should know that my Xu family is a loyal martyr for generations, and I have done my best for the Ming Dynasty and died! ”

"However, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty is Emperor Jianwen, not him Zhu Di! Zhu Di sought power and usurped the throne, he was heinous, he could usurp the throne, but he couldn't block the mouths of the people of the world! My father sacrificed his life for the emperor, although I am not good, but I also want to swear to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Qiuchi said: "Even if you are willing to die for this, don't pull others, such as Mi Yuanwai, he is rich and has a good life, why follow you to rebel?" It's not you who forced him into a thief ship. ”

Xu Qin said: "You are wrong! I didn't force the rice man, and I didn't have to force him, he was originally an iron-clad man who swore to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty! Since his incitement to rob grain and rebel has been verified by you, and the person has fallen into the hands of your Jinyiwei, I am afraid that this time it will be difficult to escape, and it doesn't hurt to say it. At the beginning of the Battle of Jingyan, Mi Yuanwai supported the Long Live Army, and after Zhu Di stole the throne, Mi Yuanwai has been secretly funding and conspiring to recover. ”

"Although Mi Yuanwai is just a businessman, he is a tough guy who is not afraid of death, as you just said, 'If you dare to walk at night, you are not afraid of ghosts'! Since we are going to take this road, we have already tied our family name to the belt of our trousers. In order to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, what is it to sprinkle my blood! ”

This generous statement stunned Yang Qiuchi, Luo Qianhu and others, and the audience was quiet, only Xu Qin's heavy gasps in passion.

This Xu Qin is really worthy of the nickname "Xu Tietou". Xu Qin's words made Yang Qiuchi figure out a question - why is Mi Yuanwai so fearless? Although the two dukes of Xumen have a relationship with him, he does not rely on the two dukes to give him any shelter to avoid death, what Mi Yuanwai holds is the spirit of dedication to the orthodox ideal of recovering the Ming Dynasty.

If a person has already stored in his heart the determination to die generously, and is prepared to die, can death still make him feel terrible? He used the relationship between the emperor's relatives to intimidate Yang Qiuchi, but he only made a last-ditch effort to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and when such sacrifices became inevitable, he would die generously.

Yang Qiuchi admired Mi Yuanwai from the bottom of his heart, this short and fat man was rich, but he did not want to be satisfied with the status quo and live a leisurely life, but for his own ideal of maintaining the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, he resolutely chose this path of no return that history proves to be unworkable, no matter whether his dedication is worth it or not, at least, his spirit is enough to make people respect.

Yang Qiuchi said slowly: "Since this is the case, please come with us, you are a relative of the emperor, I will report to the emperor, and then act according to the order." ”

After Xu Qin's mood slowly calmed down, he nodded: "Lord Yang, I'll just go with you." However, I have a reluctant request, and please make it convenient. ”

"You want to bring Red Aya with you, right?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

Xu Qin was very surprised: "Lord Yang is really talented and smart. I don't know if it's possible? ”

"I'm sorry, I can't decide on that."

"Who knows? Is it outside the rice staff? He would definitely say yes. ”

"Although Miss Hongya is the concubine of Mi Yuanwai, Mi Yuanwai was involved in the case and rebelled, and he himself is still waiting for the emperor's disposal, how can he still deal with others?"

Xu Qin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then who is the person who Lord Yang said can decide?" ”

"Red Aya-girl herself!" Yang Qiuchi said slowly, "Miss Hongyan is a living person, not a thing, of course her stay should be decided by herself." ”

In ancient times, although the status of concubines was a little stronger than that of maidservants, there was still not much personal freedom, and the law stipulated: "concubines are bought and sold", and it is legal to sell, barter or even give away their concubines, and concubines have no room for opposition. Yang Qiuchi suddenly said that let the red aya girl decide her own fate, which of course made the red aya very surprised.

Yang Qiuchi looked back at Hong Aya, only to see that she was looking up with a surprised face, her red lips trembling slightly, and her beautiful Danfeng's eyes were slowly filled with tears of gratitude.

Xu Qin nodded: "Lord Yang is right. Turning his head to look at Red Aya: "Red Aya, are you willing to go with me?" ”
