Murder and heart, Zuo Liangyu's residual value has not been completely consumed for Li Xingzhi, and for Zuo Liangyu's funeral, Li Xingzhi's Xiang Zhuang sword dance is intended for Yang Sichang and the Ming court behind him.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, it was the day when the Jingbei Army was preparing to return to Leiden, and Li Xingzhi decided to worship Zuo Liangyu at Lukou in Suizhou, and then the whole army went east along the river in plain clothes.

Shandong governor Liu Lishun to Li Xingzhi to worship Zuo Liangyu, is in favor of raising both hands, this time Yang Sichang supervised the division, in one fell swoop to eliminate the scourge of the Ming Dynasty more than ten Zhang Xianzhong, such a great achievement, the imperial court will inevitably be rewarded, and Yang Sichang is already the second assistant of the cabinet, the second person among the civil officials, if it goes further, how can his own master Xue Guoguan deal with himself.

Liu Lishun, who has served as the cabinet secretary for several years, naturally knows the consequences of Xue Guoguan's downfall, and at that time, not only Xue Guoguan, but also his own henchmen will be torn apart by red-eyed political enemies.

Now Peng Laibo, who captured Zhang Xianzhong, wants to mourn for Zuo Liangyu, which can provoke the dissatisfaction of the military attache group with Yang Sichang and reduce the influence of Yang Sichang's victory to the greatest extent.

Therefore, after receiving Li Xingzhi's proposal, Liu Lishun, the governor of Shandong, took the initiative to ask Ying, and at the confluence of Lukou and the Yangtze River, built a mound for Zuo Liangyu's father and son, and personally wrote the sacrificial text, which was very busy.

In order to expand the influence of this matter, Liu Lishun even invited Liu Yingmin, the governor of Suizhou, and the gentry and people of the city to watch the ceremony together.

Liu Yingmin is not a fool, he knows that this involves party disputes within the imperial court, after all, Liu Lishun is the matter of Xue Guoguan's people, and the world knows it, and Li Xingzhi is Xue Guoguan's best protection, so naturally he is also Xue Guoguan's person.

Now that Yang Sichang has made a decision to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, and he is the governor of the Central Plains provinces, it is a hot time.

He is just a small Liupin Zhizhou, and he can't afford to offend either side, so Liu Yingmin fell ill after receiving Liu Lishun's invitation, but in order not to offend Liu Lishun, he still sent his master Zhou Ya to the meeting on his behalf.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, it was the Lantern Festival, and Li Xingzhi's choice of this day also had a deep meaning.

A city celebrates, a loyal minister mourns for the dead, familiar with the good and the bad, the world knows at a glance.

At the end of the day, it was the second day after Amba retrieved Xu Yong and Xu Jian's heads.

Li Xingzhi personally brought the fourth and fifth towns, as well as the Manchurian, Mongolian, Han and Han green flags and nearly 40,000 surrendered soldiers, to the newly repaired clothed mound.

Under Li Xingzhi's strict order, all the troops wrapped white cloth around their waists to mourn, and of course the officers and men of Jingbei knew that their commander was just a play.

Li Dashuai forced Zuo Liangyu to death in front of everyone, which couldn't hide the nearly 50,000 troops in front of the well-dressed mound.

However, Li Xingzhi is not afraid that they will say it, the families of the fourth and fifth towns are all in Laizhou, and there is no possibility of turning their backs on themselves.

Originally, after the total annihilation of Xu Yong's 300 pro-soldiers, An Ba and Daniel Zhang were going to Xuzhou to get people, but Antiba thought that there was no need to escort Zuo Yuan to Shandong himself, after all, there were more people, the more difficult it was to hide this matter, so he only left more than 100 cavalry to accompany Daniel Zhang to ask for people, and he led the brigade along the Yangtze River to Suizhou to catch up with the main force of the Jingbei Army.

After the attendants on the left and right presented the incense and candle offerings, Liu Lishun, the governor of Shandong Town, personally stepped forward, took out the prepared sacrifice from his sleeve pocket, and read aloud: "On the fifteenth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xingzhi, the chief military officer of Penglaibo, Admiral Shandong, and Liaodong, respectfully presented the sacrifice ceremony, and enjoyed the Zuozhen Liangyu father and son who killed the thief and killed the king in Huguang said:

I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the five hegemons of the might, and the three kings of the Ming Dynasty. Yesterday, from Liaozuo invaded the territory, the eastern captives raised troops; The tail of the longitudinal is to rejuvenate the demon, steal the wolf's heart and go into chaos, and then the east retreats slightly, the thief rises again, dedicates loyalty to Zhang Rebellion, digs the emperor's tomb in Fengyang, and entangles the group of thieves in Huguang, does not want to repay the effect, and repeatedly turns back, which is really the most evil thief in the country.

Zuo Zhen was ordered by the emperor to go on an expedition and ask about Sichuan and Hubei; Large-scale Pixiu, all the ants; The male army gathered, and the madness disappeared; This is all the work of Zuo Town, towards Zuo Zhen to practice martial arts, cast the master, do not agree to Shen Sanling, attack the east in the north, and destroy the thieves in the south; Qi Jian is sincere to the country and loyal to the will of the king. When the period occasionally lost the military opportunity, the fate fell into the treacherous plan, all of them were hit by the arrows, and the soul covered the spring platform; If you are born, you will be brave, and if you die, you will become famous.

Today, I want to return the triumphant song, and the prisoners will be sacrificed. The heroic spirit of the father and son of Zuozhen is still there, and the prayer must be heard, but I am on the table, and I am awarded the grandson of Zuozhen, thinking that the name of the thief, the heart of the whole Zuo Town, the heart of loyalty and righteousness, the clothes are built today, and the four o'clock are enshrined, and the table is sincere, and the sacrifice is respected. Alas!

Fu Wei

Feast! ”

Liu Lishun finished the sacrificial text, Li Xingzhi hurriedly stepped forward to touch the monument and cried bitterly: "When Zuo Zhen's father and son were leaving, they repeatedly told Ben Bo to take care of his grandson, Ben Bo also thanked Zuo Zhen for his loyalty, and also asked the court to grant Zuo Yuan, the grandson of Zuo Zhen, the seal of the thief, in the name of Zuo Town, but there are traitors in it, and they bewitch the Lord. Only build this crown, look at the spirit of Zuo Shuai in the sky, and forgive the sin of Ben Boli! ”

Crying, touching the monument with his head, his face was miserable, it was really sincere.

The rest of Sun Kewang, Jin Shengheng and Hui Deng looked at each other one by one, bowed down in front of Zuo Liangyu's clothed mound, and howled with Li Xingzhi.

In my heart, I greeted the eighteen generations of Li Xingzhi's ancestors, if we didn't see it with our own eyes, or you forced Zuo Liangyu to death, we wouldn't believe it.

However, in the matter of forcing Zuo Liangyu to death, except for the dead ghosts Xu Yong and Xu Jian, everyone here has a share, if you want to act, let's act.

"Peng Laibo, please mourn, Zuo Shuai in the spirit of heaven to see Li Shuai so sad, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rest in peace, you can rest assured, the ministry will later impeach Yang Pavilion for the crime of injustice, the upright ministers of the court are still there, and they will never allow traitors and villains to cover the sky with one hand."

After Liu Lishun wiped the empty tears in his eyes, he helped Li Xingzhi up and was relieved, of course, this traitorous villain is naturally Yang Sichang, and the righteous minister, who else can there be besides his own teacher?

"Yes! Liu Minyuan is right, the ship is ready, let's not miss the time to set camp! ”

Zhang Shaoqian, Liu Zhongwu, Zhang Wu, Shen Yongzhen and other generals of the Jingbei Army also stood up to persuade each other.

"The deceased is gone, please cherish it!"

Yang Ji and Xu Yixian and other military marshals' office counselors also gave their hands to speak.

"Alas...... What the monarchs said is reasonable, after all, the imperial court has not yet made a clear decree, and after Ben Bo returned to Shandong, he should ask the imperial court for an edict again, and exchange the merit of capturing and killing the thief in exchange for the great seal of the thief of Zuo Shuai's grandson. ”

After saying that, Li Xingzhi suddenly drew his sword, looked around at the sea of people in front of the mound and couldn't see the end, and shouted angrily: "The whole army is out!" ”

When the Jingbei Army returned to the division this time, it still took the waterway through the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal, and drove directly to Jinan, Shandong.
