Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru did not immediately return to Beijing

At first, Zhang Yiqing advocated that he immediately return to Beijing to report to the first assistant Zhou Yanru about the injustice they had suffered in Hequ.

At this time, Zhou Suru spoke, "Wait, take a look, won't the three-sided yamen give us breath?" ”

However, although the three-sided yamen entertained them very well, they did not mention their humiliation in the river meander. Moreover, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Lu Jiuming, the superintendent of the army, suddenly went out to patrol the border under the pretext that there was something going on at the border pass.

In fact, they didn't know that Hong Chengchou and Lu Jiuming had actually gone to the imperial court a long time ago, and told Chongzhen that the officials of Hequ were from humble backgrounds, did not understand things, and mistakenly thought that they were liars.

Chongzhen couldn't help laughing when he saw the three-sided movement, and said in his heart, those countrymen in the river meanders are honest and interesting, so they won't blame.

Originally, logically speaking, this matter was guaranteed by the three-sided yamen, Hong Chengchou was Chongzhen's trusted minister, and Lu Jiuming was connected to Ouchi, so this matter was over.

But Zhou Suru is unconscious, and Zhou Suru is a thousand households in brocade clothes, so it is natural to inquire about the news.

So, Zhou Suru came to Zhang Yiqing.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Zhou Suru shouted.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yiqing asked.

"Zhang Yushi, this is the investigation of the fanzi who is investigating below, and the officials of Hequ and Fugu dare to divide the land privately! Moreover, that Li Guo claimed to be the White Tiger Star Monarch! Zhou Suru showed Zhang Yiqing the information that Jinyiwei investigated.

After reading it, Zhang Yiqing was furious, "This is worth it." Let's go, let's go back to the Ming Sheng, we will never spare them! ”

Thereupon. The two of them hurried to the capital to complain. The lawsuit was made by Li Guo and others for privately dividing the land and bewitching the public. Privately dividing land is a big deal, and if it is in the peaceful years, it will kill the head.

The greatness of the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The land belongs to the great tomorrow, why do you dare to divide it privately?

But in the matter of privately dividing land, Li Guo was not the first person in the Ming Dynasty. Long before him, there were people who divided the land. Instead of sinning, that man was a hero. That person was Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong.

Li Chengliang fought bravely, including Nurhachi, the founding lord of the Later Jin, who was beaten by him and fled in all directions. He dared to divide the land privately, and he gave it to the soldiers who fought with him. Therefore, Li Chengliang's soldiers were invincible in Liaodong at that time.

So. At the beginning, I knew that Li Guo actually controlled Fugu and Hequ. Knowing that Li had overdone the land there, Hong Chengchou thought for a long time, and finally said no, but he didn't say anything.

Before Hong Chengchou surrendered to Houjin, he was still a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not a pedantic loyal minister. He thinks a lot, and he doesn't talk about it on paper, he thinks about real things.

At that time, banditry was rampant in Shanxi and Shaanxi. And it has shown a trend of spreading, and the provinces around Shanxi are also full of smoke.

Although Li Guo is in Fugu and Hequ, there are some violations. But after all, there was no rebellion. And Li Guo appeased the people, built water conservancy, and cultivated and harvested, all of which were beneficial to the people and benefited the community. Li Guo's behavior was not disgusted in Hong Chengchou's heart, but he agreed with it.

Although Hong Chengchou advocated the suppression of bandits, it was in the case that he could not be appeased. Now, the people of Fugu and Hequ have been properly pacified by Li Guo, so why do you need to suppress them again?

Whether Li Guo is called the Tiger Master, or the White Tiger Star is in the world, it is just a boo in Hong Chengchou's eyes, which is not surprising.

In those two remote and poor small counties, saying that Li Guo and they wanted to rebel, Hong Chengchou would not believe it if he was killed.

What's more, the guard generals there were still promoted by Hong Chengchou, and they can be regarded as Hong Chengchou's people. And those people often bring silver, and they are very good at doing things. If they rebel, don't they say themselves? If that's the case, Hong Chengchou's own responsibility is not small.

Therefore, Li Guo's various measures in Fugu and Hequ were not only not managed, but were secretly protected by Hong Chengchou.

And Lu Jiuming, the chief eunuch of the three-sided prison army, is even more of a money-eyed person, as long as you are not a rebel, who cares so much about you. Even if you are a rebel, as long as you are not responsible for him, you will manage so much! Therefore, Lu Jiuming and Hong Chengchou's attitudes towards Li Guo and Fugu are the same.

This is the real reason why Li Guo can entrench in the valley and the river meanders for so long without being exposed.

Therefore, when Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru played to Chongzhen, saying that Li Guo and the officials of Hequ and Fugu were bullying and intending to rebel, Chongzhen was furious.

The reason why Chongzhen was angry was not because of Li Guo, he glared at Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru angrily, "I ask you, since the officials of Hequ intend to rebel, why did they defeat the strong captives and kill so many Houjin soldiers, what do you two mean?" You want to be Qin Hui, but I'm not Zhao Gou! ”

This sentence was very serious, and Zhang Yiqing and Zhou Suru were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant on the side, hurriedly went out of the class and told Chongzhen, "Although Li Guoren and others defeated Houjin, they actually harbored evil intentions, especially that Li Guo, in the name of the White Tiger Star Monarch in the sky, bewitched the foolish people and plotted against him!" ”

Zhou Yanru raised his head, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. He heard about Chongzhen's dream of the white tiger eating pigs, and he knew Chongzhen's taboo against the white tiger.

Sure enough, Chongzhen's face changed, and he lost his voice and said, "Then Li Guo calls himself a white tiger?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Yanru then replied, "Now Fugu and Hequ only know that the white tiger Li has passed, and I don't know that there is a saint." ”

Chongzhen's face turned blue, and he didn't answer, but stood up and walked towards the harem.

For Li Guo's great victory, Chongzhen's heart was very happy, and over the years, there have been few great victories in the use of troops in Houjin. Except for Yuan Chonghuan, the original governor of Jiliao!

Chongzhen is now in a contradiction, and he has indeed regretted killing Yuan Chonghuan in the name of Jin Spy in the future. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have fallen for Houjin's counter-plot. Not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan defeated Houjin many times, Yuan Chonghuan once injured Nurhachi with a red-clothed cannon, causing Nurhachi to die because of this, it can be judged that Yuan Chonghuan will not surrender Houjin.

It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan is dead, but there is no one in Liaodong who can compete with Houjin and preside over the overall situation.

Chongzhen originally wanted to promote Li Guo and defeat Houjin with a small number of weak brigades, which is really an immortal material. But according to Zhou Yanru, is Li Guo really the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star? If Li Guo is really the reincarnation of the White Tiger Star, then he is a person who is in danger! Then he must be killed! But is he?

Chongzhen picked up the recital on the table, which was the recital of the joint book of eighteen people including Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian. Liu Zongzhou said in the recital:

'God bless the Ming Dynasty, and the immortal genius Li Guo turned the tide, which is really my great fortune. If the saint listened to the slander, wouldn't it cause Li Gang to be useless and Zong Ze to die, wouldn't it be the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty? Besides, Li Guo became famous in a war, and the world knows everything, let alone killing him, even if it is to condemn him, it will chill the hearts of the people of the world. In the future, who will do his best for the Holy Lord, and who will do his best for the Ming Dynasty? ’

In the end, Liu Zongzhou and others impeached Zhou Yanru for corrupting the law and planting the party for personal gain, which is actually a traitor to power, if the world is peaceful, Zhou Yanru should be killed to correct the dynasty.

Chongzhen dropped the fold, his heart became more and more troubled, he grabbed the cup on the table violently, and fell to the ground with a snap.

"Wang Chengen! Immediately ordered Hong Chengchou to carefully investigate Li Guo! (To be continued......)
