After leaving the residence of Yuan Yixing, the Qintian Prison, Li Guo returned to the old camp with Nie Xin and Luo Hu.

Yuan Yixing's evaluation of Li Guo is that gold** is not ** a thing, and it changes in the wind and rain. This news made the people in the old camp feel very excited, this is a very high evaluation of Li Guo, and the person who evaluated Li Guo is a Qin Tianjian dressed in mystery. People's morale was high.

And the sentence that started in the northwest and flourished in the southwest is not very clear. Nie Xin analyzed, or they were leaving Shaanxi and going somewhere in the southwest.

At this time, Zhao Youting, the master of the three sides, sent a message, saying that Hong Chengchou was mobilizing men and horses and gathering troops.

At this time, there was no war in Shaanxi and the trilateral defense, and most of the rebellious peasant rebels were in southern Shanxi, Henan, Hebei and other places. Hong Chengchou gathered the team, and it seemed that there was only one purpose, to deal with Li Guo.

Li Guo didn't think so, it was a big deal that the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth.

Nie Xin was shocked, could it be that going to the capital to go around had no effect? Could it be that Wang Qiang, who dragged Zhou Yanru into the water, was exposed?

In fact, this is not the case, this is because Hong Chengchou's actions are half a beat slower. Hong Chengchou had already received a secret order from Chongzhen to investigate Li Guo, and if Li Guo was a little in danger of the country's social security, he would be killed.

However, Hong Chengchou loves talents very much, so he is slow to act on the issue of Li Guo, so Emperor Chongzhen's order is very early, and Hong Chengchou is only starting to implement it now.

But Hong Chengchou still doesn't want to destroy Li Guo, Hong Chengchou has this ability. Although Li Guo defeated Houjin, it was only a short-term battle. If Li Guo fought with the Houjin or Ming army for a long time, he would definitely be defeated. Because fighting a war is not a joke, it is a comprehensive embodiment of the entire national strength. It's manpower, financial resources, and material resources, and it's money!

Now if Li Guo wants to fight, let alone the others, the combatants alone are not enough to fight, and if there is one less to fight, let alone the others.

Therefore, Nie Xin discussed with Li Guo and others. Let Zhao Youbin write a letter in the name of Li Guo, Hong Chengchou.

The content of the letter is as follows: Hequ Li Guo and others have always been grateful for the appreciation of Lord Hong, although there are mistakes. However, the lord of the army could not bear to be punished, so that Li Guo was able to defeat the strong enemy Houjin with a weak brigade, which was really the work of the adult. Correct. Li Guo and others were not allowed to be allowed in the imperial court. Nothing has the power to repay. A few days ago, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate Khan sent a message to Li Guo and others, wanting to take Li Guo and others for his own use, regardless of his previous suspicions. But this is a matter of loyalty and righteousness, Li Guo is determined to serve the country and will never surrender to Houjin!

Zhao Youbin personally rushed to the three-sided yamen, saw the master Zhao Youting, and gave a few words of advice. I came to see Hong Chengchou.

After Hong Chengchou saw the letter, he ordered Zhao Youbin to go and rest, and looked at Lu Jiuming, the prison guard.

"Your Excellency. This matter should not be coerced too quickly, if Li Guo is really desperate and lowers the post-gold, it is not my blessing of the Ming Dynasty! Lu Jiuming said.

Hong Chengchou nodded, "Yes, killing Li Guo will make the morale of the border guards even lower, if this continues, who is willing to serve the country?" ”

"That's it, I think my lord has heard that the capital has been making a lot of noise these days." Lu Jiuming looked at Hong Chengchou.

"I've also heard about it, so it is still necessary to plan carefully to exterminate Li Guo, it will take time to gather men and horses, and it will also take time to purge the troops. You might as well wait for the news from the capital to be confirmed, and all preparations are ready, and you will be making a decision by then! Hong Chengchou said.

"What your lord said is very true, in addition, Li Guo said in the letter that if the imperial court is not at ease, you can send him to the Lingnan area, where the wilderness and the natives often rebel, and it is not a bad idea to send Li Guo to sit there to sit in the town." Lu Jiuming is not just here to help Li Guo now, but Cao Huachun and others in Dongchang are now going to deal with Zhou Yanru.

Hong Chengchou doesn't know how, but Hong Chengchou is not a rotten scholar, he just admires Li Guo. Hong Chengchou just wanted to protect this talent in his eyes, so Hong Chengchou agreed with Lu Jiuming's statement.

Why hasn't there been any news from the capital? Hong Chengchou thought.

The capital has now become a mess.

Wang Qiang, who was sent by Nie Xin, had already confessed, saying that he was sent by Houjin to contact Zhou Yanru, but this could not be used as evidence. But the words on the note in the wax pill found from Wang Qiang's body were terrible.

There are only a few words in the wax pill 'Zhu Li, calculated in August of the third year of Chongzhen!' ’

The meaning of this sentence is to kill the person surnamed Li, and use the strategy used in August of the third year of Chongzhen. The surname Li is incompatible with Houjin, of course, it is Li Guo who defeated Houjin. So what is Chongzhen's strategy in August of the third year?

When Chongzhen saw this note, he didn't say anything for a long time. Because in August of the third year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen killed a person, and that person was called Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan was the Ji Liao Governor in charge of Liaodong at that time, and he mainly fought in Liaodong, and later Huang Taiji used the strategy of discord to make Chongzhen kill Yuan Chonghuan.

But Chongzhen calmed down later, and he felt a little remorseful, because Yuan Chonghuan was not like Houjin's spy.

But how does this matter have anything to do with Zhou Yanru, the reason is that it was Zhou Yanru who first impeached Yuan Chonghuan. In the first year of Chongzhen, because the Ming army outside the gate begged for money and made trouble, Yuan Chonghuan asked Chongzhen for silver. Zhou Yanru said: "This is nothing more than an arrogant military attache instigating trouble to threaten." Later, Zhou Yanru also wrote to impeach Yuan Chonghuan from time to time, until Yuan Chonghuan was killed by Chongzhen.

At this time, another general Li Guo, who fought with Houjin and won a big victory, was also impeached by Zhou Yanru, I don't know if it was a coincidence.

So, Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun, "What do you think of the content on this note?" ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt down, "The little one is just a servant of the emperor, and he doesn't dare to discuss the government in vain." ”

"Just say it!" Chongzhen ordered.

Cao Huachun raised his head, "The minions are just to find out the news, and the things on the note can neither be fully believed nor disbelieved, and the minions dare not discuss it." It's just that his subordinates found out the exact news, and the reason for Li Guo was that Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru, who were sent to Hequ, were too greedy, and even asked Li Guo for 50,000 taels of silver, saying that they were filial to Zhou Yanru, the first assistant. This matter may not be Zhou Yanru's instructions, but Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru's begging for silver is true. ”

Chongzhen was silent, waved his hand, and Cao Huachun retreated.

Whether to kill Li Guo or not, Chongzhen still hesitated, and the ministers of the court did not take into account Zhou Yanru, and wrote books one after another, hoping that Chongzhen would reward Li Guo. But the dream of the white tiger eating pigs still haunted Chongzhen, so Chongzhen brought Yuan Yixing, the Qintian supervisor, again.

Yuan Yixing understood why Chongzhen was looking for him, and he was in a very relaxed mood now, because yesterday Yuan Yixing watched the stars at night again, and found that although the star corresponding to the white tiger was radiant and had the image of Longxing, it did not directly threaten the main star. On the contrary, not far from the main star, the other guest star has the aura of sword light.

Moreover, Yuan Yixing has already determined that the Shaanxi people who went to his mansion that day must be Li Guo, Yuan Yixing has carefully looked at Li Guo's face and found that Li Guo and Chongzhen are not compatible.

Therefore, when Chongzhen bluntly asked Li Guo, Yuan Yixing replied, "The minister watched the sky at night and found that the White Tiger Nakshatra did not restrain the main star. ”

"But how do I explain the dream of a white tiger eating a pig in my dream?" Chongzhen asked.

"Since ancient times, the way of heaven has been obscure, and it will not be so shallow. The person who threatens the emperor is either born in the Year of the Tiger, or the situation is dangerous in the Year of the Tiger. The minister has already made a divination for the emperor, and Li Guo cannot threaten the emperor. If the emperor is not at ease, he might as well place Li Guo in a remote place. If Li Guo is really a white tiger, the auspicious land is due west, but the south or southwest direction is not suitable. Yuan Yixing explained.

Chongzhen nodded, and it just so happened that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, also reported that Li Guo had no objection, if he felt that Li Guo was not suitable to guard the border towns, he could send Li to the Lingnan area to suppress bandits, because Lingnan had also begun to rebel.

Or, send Li Guo to Lingnan? Although he heard Yuan Yixing say that Li Guo could not hurt himself, Chongzhen was no longer willing to reuse Li Guo. (To be continued......)
