Chapter 20 Let's close the perfume case
found ironclad evidence, and the three of them walked out of the study together. The battle in Ningyuanbo's Mansion has basically ended, Guocheng's orders have been carried out thoroughly, Ningyuanbo's Mansion has been demolished in pieces, and the original luxurious residence can no longer see its original appearance, like a huge garbage dump.
Thinking of the person killed by Li Rubai, Guocheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly counted his losses, but fortunately, all the craftsmen were intact, but some people had patches of black green on their heads and bodies. But what's even worse is that the people in Ning Yuanbo's Mansion have broken their heads and blood flowing, which can be regarded as having done good deeds and accumulated virtues; There is also a breath, and the one who lingers for breath can be regarded as burning high incense. Half of the people in Ningyuanbo's Mansion died in this operation, and the two merchants were regarded as the masters of the Li Mansion because of their gorgeous clothes, and they died very miserably, and they didn't even look like people.
Most of these people who gave away their lives were the hands of those who took revenge, and the people on Guocheng's side were somewhat measured, and more importantly, the craftsmen had never seen blood, and if they really wanted to kill, they couldn't do that.
When a person saw Guocheng coming, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for your help, we will get revenge, and our family can also look at it under Jiuquan." ”
Guocheng recognized this person, and he was the leading big brother of this group of people. Guo Cheng said coldly: "Who are you to dare to talk about here." The Li Mansion is being raided here, and the idlers can't wait to enter, so they don't hurry up and retreat with me! ”
The man laughed and said, "Childe doesn't have to cover for us. Since we have come to take revenge, we are determined to die. So many people died in the Li Mansion this time, and the matter is well known, no matter how hard the backstage of the son is, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ensure that it is comprehensive this time. Childe really doesn't know us, we took advantage of the chaos to get in. ”
After saying that, the man respectfully kowtowed to Guocheng three times, and led his people to retreat in a corner.
After the dust settled, a large group of Jinyi guards rushed in, and the Jinyi guards shouted for Qianhu: "By the emperor's holy order, Zhu Youzhen, Guocheng, Li Rubai and others will enter the palace to face the saints." ”
Guocheng pointed to the craftsman with an axe and hammer behind him and said: "These are the craftsmen sent by the emperor to build a children's paradise, this time they are just here to strengthen my reputation, can they go back and continue to build, so as not to delay time?" ”
Qianhu looked at the simple craftsman, and then looked at Guocheng, knowing that this child had been rewarded by the emperor with a bullfighting suit, and was a celebrity in front of the emperor and the concubine, although he made a big mistake this time, but who knows if the emperor will lift the board high and then put it down gently, so he doesn't dare to offend him. He nodded, waved his hand, and divided the two sides of the brocade guard, making way for a way.
Guocheng said to the craftsmen: "You go back, do things as usual, I will go back later, and I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." ”
The craftsmen cheered and went back with their tools. There is also a reward for sabotage, and this kind of work can be done several more times.
Li Rubai saw that Ning Yuanbo's mansion had almost become a piece of rubble, and the old and young in the family, except for the woman in flag, the others were probably more than lucky, this time it was really a broken family, and he was full of hatred in his heart, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Can you still go back?" Pampered and arrogant, attacking the mansion of a first-class official for no reason, the national law will spare you, and the emperor will not spare you. ”
Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and kicked him. He didn't see Guocheng's previous experience, and he couldn't stand steadily after kicking, and took a few steps back, and Guocheng helped him. Zhu Youzhen was about to loudly announce his crime, but Guocheng gently tugged at his sleeve and signaled him not to speak - catching a traitor is not something to be proud of, and not having a traitor is the pride and glory of the nation.
Jinyi Wei got off the weapon on Zhu Youzhen's side, and was about to loosen the tie on Li Rubai, but he didn't expect Li Rubai to cry and shout: "Don't untie it, I want the emperor to see, our Li family was born and died for the Ming Dynasty, and made great contributions, but was so tricked by a milky little mongrel, is there still heavenly reason, is there still a royal law?" ”
Li Rubai was born in Jinyiwei and has a very good relationship with this thousand households. Qianhu frowned, stabbed him lightly, and whispered: "Silence, that person is His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, talking nonsense, no one can protect you." ”
The brocade guard escorted the group into the Qianqing Palace of the imperial palace. Emperor Wanli was dressed in court clothes, sitting in a precarious position, looking at the group of people kneeling under His Royal Highness, and asked solemnly: "Who is Your Highness kneeling to?" ”
"Grandson Zhu Youzhen."
"Weichen Guocheng."
"The last general, Li Rubai."
"Knock to see Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live long live!" Everyone shouted long live together.
"Zhongqing is flat."
Hearing this, everyone stood up and lowered their heads. Zhu Youzhen peeked at Wanli and saw him dressed in court clothes, his face sinking like water. I haven't worn this court dress for a few days, and it seems that this matter is making a big fuss. If it weren't for the ironclad evidence of Li Chengliang's passing, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a good life to live.
Li Rubai climbed a few steps forward and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the last general." ”
Then Li Rubai reported to the emperor what happened today, and of course the matter of sending spies was concealed. He dressed himself up as a saint and described Guocheng as a demon, which made people listen, as if not killing Guocheng was not enough to make the people angry, and if he did not punish Guocheng, the country would not be a country.
Emperor Wanli's face turned pale, and he asked, "Guocheng, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Yes, but I can only say this to the Holy One, please hold back and leave left."
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." If you are really reasonable, I will spare you, if you lie and deceive, plus a crime of deceiving the king, you will be punished for several crimes, hum, castrate first and then kill. ”
Guocheng can't help but protect his crotch with both hands, why can't this Wanli get along with his own birds?
The eunuch took the others outside the hall to wait, and Guocheng, Zhu Youzhen, and Old Man Wen stayed.
Wanli beckoned them to the throne.
Wanli sighed and said: "Guocheng, I originally thought that you were a young and old man, and you would not act impulsively, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing, how can you let me defend you?" ”
Guocheng said: "Long live Rongyu, after hearing the truth of the matter, the emperor may be more impulsive than me." ”
"Oh, then you can tell me about it."
Guo Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Old Man Wen to step forward and explain the matter. Old Man Wen couldn't help but secretly thank Guocheng, this is Guocheng giving credit to himself. Old Man Wen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look at these letters." ”
The emperor took the letter casually and flipped through it. After reading a few lines, Wanli's eyes widened, his hands trembled, and when he finished reading the letter, he was furious, and with a pull of his hands, he tore the letter to pieces. Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair, couldn't take a breath, coughed loudly, Zhu Youzhen and Guocheng hurriedly stepped forward, one stroked his chest, the other patted his back, and it was easy for Wanli to smooth this breath.
"Teacher, Teacher Zhang." Wanli burst into tears and sighed, "I regret not listening to you." When you were dying, you told me that after you left, you will leave Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang behind. You said that Qi Jiguang was invincible, brave and loyal, and could be the anchor of the sea god in the Ming Dynasty; You also said that although Li Chengliang won all battles, he was greedy by nature, and if Shangguan did not have the ability to suppress him, he would become a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. But after you went, I didn't do what you said. ”
Emperor Wanli remembered Zhang Juzheng again. Zhang Juzheng has a high-level political vision and skill, although Wanli does not admit it, but he actually regards Zhang Juzheng as his own idol, and he has to compare with Teacher Zhang in everything, and he still has to admit that he is not as good as Zhang Juzheng.
Wanli calmed down after a while, and said: "I, I want to make an order to cut off Li Chengliang's title, and I will also open the coffin, whip, whip the corpse!" ”
Old Man Wen knelt down and said, "Hurray, don't do this. ”
Wanli was puzzled when he heard this, and asked: "Didn't you expose Li Chengliang's traitorous behavior, why did you help him speak?" ”
"Long live, Li Chengliang has been guarding Liaodong for 38 years, and most of the Liaodong soldiers will come from Limen, and they will act rashly, I am afraid that they will be forced to oppose Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."
Wanli said: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”
Old Man Wen said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the Li Mansion is loyal and treacherous, loyal as Li Rusong, and sheds his blood for the Ming Dynasty; is like Li Rubai, hooking up with the Jurchens and betraying the interests of the Ming Dynasty. The dead are gone, but the living are precious. It's better to suppress this matter, Ning Yuanbo passed it on to Li Rusong, Li Rusong is dead, so he won't pass it on further. Today's matter will be closed with the perfume poisoning case, punish Guocheng a little, and put Li Rubai in the edict prison, and he will never be released, his Jurchen concubine will be sent to the Jiaofang Division, I don't know if His Majesty thinks this will work? ”
When talking about punishing Guocheng, Old Man Wen looked at Guocheng apologetically.
Emperor Wanli thought for a long time and sighed: "You want me to be scolded by hundreds of officials as a faint king." Let's go, anyway, after scolding so many sentences, it's not bad for this sentence, let's close the case with the perfume case. ”
