It turned out that Jianyu was a retired soldier from the Funing front, just guarding the Shanhaiguan. They drew their troops out, and after a little rest, they took advantage of the frozen sea to raid Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty under the instigation of the traitors.

Since Mao Wenlong's general army was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, Dongjiang Town has fallen into infighting, and the harassment of the captives has stopped, which can be said to be a shaken military spirit and low morale.

After Jianyu entered the land of Gyeonggi, Donggang Town seemed to be forgotten by Jianyu and the imperial court, and was left to fend for itself. As a result, the lives of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town were even more embarrassing, with no logistical support and very little local output, so that the morale of the army was weakened and morale was lost. Many people's minds began to come alive and seek a way out for themselves.

As a result, under the instigation of Jianyu's traitors, many generals had the idea of taking refuge in Jianlu. This raid on Dongjiang Town was also an easy success.

In the past, the whole court had forgotten about Dongjiang Town, as if it did not exist. But this is completely different from the fact that the construction of Dongjiang Town did not exist.

After experiencing the painful lessons of Gyeonggi, people of insight in the imperial court, such as Sun Chengzong, realized the importance of Dongjiang Town, which Mao Wenlong had single-handedly established. After a few days of discussion, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yansui, who was originally photographed in Yan'an Mansion, changed the governor of Shandong and was responsible for the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town, resuming the role of containing Jianyu's flank.

The reason for doing this is that Sun Chuanting's temper is too stinky, and he is afraid that something will happen if he is thrown in Yan'an, which will provoke the Heavenly Army and make the two sides fight each other again. This situation lies in the fact that at present, Daming is absolutely unwilling to accept it.

However, the Heavenly Army, as a strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, did not accept Zhao'an, nor did it accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty like the previous Mongolian chiefs. His heart is unpredictable. Besides, I have heard a little bit about the purpose of the revolutionary party called the Heavenly Army, isn't this the enemy of the people in power in the Ming Dynasty!

Based on the above reasons, this is called the Heavenly Army must be eliminated, but the imperial court does not have the ability to do this at the moment, but it must do this in the future.

Over there in Shaanxi. Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, went to the court several times, saying that he had been unwell recently, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his duties for a long time. And Shaanxi is an eventful place, I hope that the imperial court can arrange to replace people as soon as possible, at least send helpers over, in case the physical discomfort worsens, it will not delay the matter.

Based on this, under the persuasion of some important officials of the imperial court, the criminal minister Lu Xiangsheng was brought out of the prison. Secretly met with Emperor Chongzhen.

Half a year has passed since Li Zicheng dug up the ancestral grave, and time has diluted a lot of memories and a little hatred. However, when Emperor Chongzhen saw Lu Xiangsheng, his face was still a little unsightly, and he stared gloomily at Lu Xiangsheng, who was fair-skinned and tall, who looked like a military general but was actually a civil servant, and said: "Er's sin is really an unforgivable sin, and it has been rare since ancient times to fall into the realm of great unfilial piety." ”

"There is no redemption for the death of a sinner!" Lu Xiang fell to the ground. suppressed his voice, but still replied loudly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not speak. Just looked at him and stared at him for a while before slowly continuing: "It's just that you are a local civil servant in the prefect's house, and you are in trouble when you hear about it, and you can not be afraid of the ferocity of Jianyu, and you can come to Beijing to be the king of Qin, and your heart is commendable." It's commendable. ”

"Loyalty to the country and sorrow for the king is within the duty of the sinner." Lu Xiangsheng replied motionlessly.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally nodded slightly. These are the words that other courtiers can say with their mouths. But he will not be like Lu Xiangsheng, who can personally lead the army to serve the king. It can be seen that Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a loyal minister.

From the time the incident happened to the present, he has also understood that it is actually unfair for thieves to dig up the imperial tomb and Lu Xiang to ascend to the top. At that time, he was still in the northern part of Henan, and he was beginning to perform the duties of governor. When the thieves in Anhui commit crimes, it is difficult to drive them over even if they have their wings inserted. When it comes to prevention, the main responsibility is also the local defenders and the government.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, although Lu Xiangsheng couldn't see it, he still raised his hand slightly, and his voice became a little soft: "Get up and talk!" ”

In other words, the anger in Emperor Chongzhen's heart has almost subsided. Lu Xiangsheng is neither stupid nor stupid, so he naturally knows it.

However, he was not overjoyed, and he was not happy to have escaped, but kowtowed again and said: "The sin of the minister is really difficult to live in the world." But the minister thinks that he has some ability, and he does not ask for forgiveness, but only wants to level the Quartet for the court, and the horse leather shroud is the wish of the minister. ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened, did not speak for a long time, and stared at Lu Xiangsheng who was still lying on the ground. He did not believe that Elius Xiangsheng was clever enough to hear that there was a chance of forgiveness. But he didn't want it, he just wanted to level the Quartet for the court, but the wish of the horse leather shroud.

Is this Lu Xiangsheng a traitor, or is it really as he said? These two thoughts were intertwined in Emperor Chongzhen's mind from time to time.

This is going to change when he first ascended the throne, and if he can't make this remark, Emperor Chongzhen will be moved inexplicably. But after Yuan Chonghuan's incident, he no longer trusts others so easily.

He pondered for a long time, and finally stood up from his throne, walked around the imperial table, walked slowly, and bent down to help him with his own hands.

Although Lu Xiangsheng is a civilian official, his force is not ordinarily strong. When he was in prison, someone protected him, he spoke, and he was a very important person, and no one dared to embarrass him, so he was in good health. Although he was lying on the ground, he heard Emperor Chongzhen's movements.

He had been calm just now, even if he usually held his seventy-two catties of practice sword, he was as stable as Mount Tai, and suddenly his body trembled slightly.

Emperor Chongzhen just reached out to help, and saw that his body trembled slightly, and he was slightly stunned, but he immediately came back to his senses, and his voice became softer and softer: "Lu Qing, get up, I have a very important matter to hand over to you." ”

If Lu Xiangsheng doesn't want to get up, even if there are two more Chongzhen Emperors, don't even think about helping him up. But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng stood up with a slight trembling body like a very old man, with tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "The criminal minister is really not worthy of such courtesy from Your Majesty!" ”

In those days, filial piety came first. It can be said that even the law is no bigger than the word "filial piety", and the emperor must also be bound by the word "filial piety".

Even if the ancestral grave of an ordinary person is dug up, it is a very big thing. Now that it's the Imperial Mausoleum, it's even bigger. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen made it clear that he wanted to use Lu Xiangsheng, that is, to forgive his previous sins. This is a moral hazard, and it will be scolded by future generations, and it is probably not so easy to explain when you go to see your ancestors and ancestors after death.

Because of this, for Lu Xiangsheng, a Confucian minister who is a model of loyalty, he is very moved.

Emperor Chongzhen was calmer, he raised his head and stared at Lu Xiangsheng's eyes, and just ordered: "In this way, Qing will be transferred to the Yan'an prefect immediately, and help me watch the Heavenly Army to see if it can solve the future troubles of this imperial court?" (To be continued.) )
