Chapter 313: Zu Da's Birthday Grievance (Medium)
"Bring it up!"
Chongzhen is no stranger to Zu Dashou's wife Li, Chongzhen two years after the "change of his own life", in order to appease Zu Dashou, Chongzhen once used the birthday of Queen Zhou as the name to summon Li into the palace to see. Although I haven't seen the Li family with my own eyes, Queen Zhou and the imperial sister-in-law Queen Zhang are full of praise for the Li family, saying that they are worthy of being a scholarly disciple, they are very knowledgeable, and they are very polite, and their manners are measured, and they are very virtuous.
Chongzhen may not be impressed by Queen Zhou's praise alone, but the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan is also full of praise for the Li family, which can't help but impress him. For the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan, Chongzhen has always respected her like a mother, and the imperial sister-in-law said that the Li family was virtuous, and Chongzhen naturally believed that after the ancestral birthday was lowered, he did not dispose of the ancestral family, because of the imperial sister-in-law's evaluation of the Li family. Now that Huang Ruliang said that Li's blood book was avenged by his husband, he instinctively thought of the image of a martyr, and his heart was quite shocked. In ancient times, the blood book was never seen, even loyal ministers and good generals would never use it, because it was ominous to see blood in front of the king, but now Li used the blood book to avenge his husband's grievances, but this grievance is very heavy. Chongzhen said in his heart that the Li family was virtuous, if it weren't for the fact that he really had a big grievance, he wouldn't have done this terrible thing, could it be that there was really another inside story?
Zhao Quan trotted over, took the blood book from Huang Ruliang's hand, didn't dare to look at it, and carefully held it in his hand and sent it to Chongzhen.
The blood book is written in white silk, the font is delicate, it looks like it is from the woman's hand, and there is a faint Buddha fragrance on it. There are not many words in the book, but the meaning is concise, and the woman's anger at her husband's unjust death can be seen between the lines.
At first glance, Chongzhen's face had not changed much, but after reading it, his face had already darkened. Zhao Quan, who knew the emperor's temper, subconsciously took a step back, and he knew that the emperor was so angry.
Sure enough, only a few seconds later, Chongzhen was already furious, he hatefully slapped the Li family's blood book on the imperial case in front of him, and roared angrily: "How can this be true, how can this be true, Shi Dayong bullied me!" Thieves deceive! Zu Dashou died in vain! ”
Emperor Long Yan was furious, and all the officials were so frightened that they all knelt down, but there were countless heads in the crowd who were looking at the blood book on the imperial case, and they were eager to know what was written in the blood book of Lu Dao.
Jiang Danian's head is undoubtedly the longest stretch among the people, and he can't help but stretch it, just now he kept saying that Shi Dayong was loyal, seeing that the emperor was already moved, the peak turned around, but a blood book made the Son of Heaven angry.
"Shi Dayong bullied, thieves bullied, Zu Dashou died in vain" In Jiang Danian's ears, it was more terrifying than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his face turned white all of a sudden.
Things have changed, Huang Ruliang stepped in sideways, and he got the Li blood book out of nowhere, and openly wanted to overturn the case for Zu Dashou, Wen Tiren secretly said that this matter is not so simple, and it is likely that Zhou Yanru is behind it. But what is Zhou Yanru's purpose in doing this, is it really to cry out for Zu Dashou? How could it be so coincidental that Jiang Daqian acted for Shi Dayong to complain about his grievances, and the blood book of the Li family came out on the back foot? This is too coincidental in terms of time, right? Could it be that Jiang Danian betrayed himself?
Wen Tiren was shocked in his heart, turned his head to look, and found that Jiang Danian's face was also very white, not like he colluded with Huang Ruliang and them to trap himself, and his heart settled down a little, but he couldn't stay outside and let Jiang Danian fall into battle alone, no matter what Zhou Yanru calculated, he couldn't let him get his wish!
If you want to fight back, first know what is written in the blood book of Lu Dao, otherwise how to fight back? Wen Tiren pondered for a moment, raised his head and looked at Chongzhen, who was angry, and slowly spoke: "The emperor is angry, whether Zu Dashou was harmed by Shi Dayong, I'm afraid I can't listen to the woman's words." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he snorted coldly, picked up the blood book, and instructed Zhao Quan: "Hand this book to Shoufu to see." ”
Wen Tiren couldn't wait to read it after taking the blood book from Zhao Quan's hand, while Xu Guangqi also leaned over to see that He Ruzhong and Zheng Yida were standing there calmly, as if they had already known what was written in the blood book. Huang Ruliang watched coldly, but a few other officials on the side were ready to move.
Jiang Danian also wanted to read the blood book, and he was very anxious, but limited to his identity, he couldn't see it if he wanted to
According to Li's blood book, after Dashou was trapped in Dalinghe City, he desperately defended the city, refused to reduce the gold, and looked forward to the arrival of reinforcements day and night, but what he hoped for was that the reinforcements were all wiped out. At that time, the city had been out of food for half a month, the sergeants cannibalized each other, it was difficult to insist, the generals had many intentions, Dashou was difficult to press, and knew that the Daling River was lost, Jinzhou was empty, and it would be broken by the east, and it would be difficult to protect the lonely city of Ningyuan at that time. In order to keep the brocade from being lost, Dashou weighed everything, gave up his personal false name, and pretended to reduce the gold. After coaxing the trust of the slave chieftain and not taking strict precautions, he led dozens of guards to flee overnight, and the Jin soldiers chased after him, and when he arrived at the city of Jinzhou, there were only a few people left in his entourage.
In order to prevent the Jin soldiers from taking advantage of the situation to seize the city, Dashou called the defenders to hang each other in bamboo baskets under the city, but unexpectedly, after the Jinzhou defender Shi Dayong knew that Dashou returned to Dashou, he was afraid that Dashou would regain military power and suppress himself, so for his own selfish interests, he transferred the original garrison to other places, and sent his cronies to kill the exhausted Dashou and a group of followers in the city, and at the same time spread rumors about Dashou's gold reduction, and excluded the old generals of Liaodong in the city, in order to achieve the ulterior purpose of the imperial court to use himself as the general army of Liaodong.
There was no flaw in the matter, and everyone thought that the birthday had been reduced. However, not long after, the news that Zu Dashou had died came from the Dongyu side, and he was sent to Xizuo to confirm that Zu Dashou had died long before the Dongyu attacked Jinzhou. After the Li family got the news, they couldn't believe it, so they sent Dashou brother Dale and others to Jinzhou to investigate secretly, to see people in life and corpses in death.
When a villager went out of the city to cut firewood, he found that the corpse of Dashou had been decomposed, and his face had been cut more than a dozen times, which was difficult to distinguish. Fortunately, Li and Da Shou were husband and wife, and they knew that Da Shou had two birthmarks and several scars on his body, and after combining and verifying, it was confirmed that this corpse was Da Shou. The generals who were suppressed by Shi Dayong in the city that night spoke out, and they knew the truth that Dashou was killed by Shi Dayong after fleeing to Jinzhou.
Knowing that Dao Dashou was killed, the Li family should have immediately reported it to the imperial court, but Shi Dayong had already mastered Jinzhou, and the matter was too unbelievable, for fear that the thief would bite back and kill people, so the Li family held back. It wasn't until it was reported that Shi Dayong rebelled in Denglai that the Li family broke his five fingers and wrote a blood letter to avenge his husband's grievances.
The most reluctant in Li's book said that Dashou was loyal to the country, and would rather abandon his sons and brothers and return to the Ming Dynasty, but put the country above his family. Now it is presented to the emperor in blood, asking the emperor to uphold justice and not let Dashou die in vain
After reading it word for word, Wen Tiren smiled bitterly in his heart, if things are really as Li said, then Shi Dayong is really a wolf ambition, and he deserves death, even if he can't turn over for him.
After Xu Guangqi saw it, he shook his head categorically and said: "Your Majesty, based on the one-sided words of a woman of the Li family, it is difficult to determine whether Dashou is a fraud to surrender to Dongyu, and it is a fact that Dashou has reduced his money, and all his sons and brothers have obtained high-ranking officials in Dongyu, so it can be seen that what Li said has no basis. And on the day the army was annihilated, the remnants of the defeated army will escape into Jinzhou, everyone is like a frightened bird, there will be no will to fight, there is no heart to die, if the east is captured, how to defend. Therefore, the minister thought that Shi Dayong's military management measures in the city to control the city gate and prevent the chaotic people from clamoring and devolting were actually necessary means, and what Li said was not a detrimental to the longevity plan. ”
Wen Tiren also said: "The minister also thinks that this is the case, and the one-sided words are not credible. ”
When the two said this, Chongzhen couldn't help but be puzzled, his anger was slightly relieved, and he hesitated, if what Li said was not true, wouldn't he blame Shi Dayong again.
"Your Majesty, Li's book may be one-sided, but the minister has the testimony of Lu Xin in Jinzhou, he said that after the army was destroyed, Shi Dayong marched in Jinzhou to manage the army, and controlled the city gate with his cronies, and outsiders were not allowed to interfere. That night, there seemed to be something going on outside the city, but the prefect Chen Ang sent someone to inquire, but Shi Bu refused to reveal what happened. Therefore, the minister did not dare to conclude that it was really Shi Dayong who killed the ancestor who had fled, but the minister dared to conclude that Shi Dayong was by no means a pure minister! ”
As soon as the words fell, Qi An also played in the middle of the incident: "The minister also has the testimony of Liu Zeyi, the commander of Xingshanwei, and Wang An, the hundred households of Zuotunwei, and the testimony of Ge Qing, the regimental training envoy, and other military generals, all of which can prove that the gate of Jinzhou was actually controlled by Shi Dayong's Songshan army that night, and it also proves that the corpse found by the villagers outside the city is indeed Zu Dashou. Da Shou's death is too strange to be investigated. ”
