The two of you are the same as me, and their dissatisfaction with Chongzhen has been revealed in their words, or they already feel that Lantian is strong enough, and when facing Chongzhen, they don't have to disguise themselves anymore, they can directly expose their fangs, and let Chongzhen see who is the boss of the Ming Dynasty.

This kind of thinking has to be said to be very demagogic, and now there are many people in Lantian who do not support Lantian to continue to pay taxes to Daming, although this tax is not a big deal for Lantian now, and Lantian can squeeze out that money casually.

But no matter how little money there is, the people and officials in Lantian also feel that they should not give it to Daming, and they have not absorbed even the slightest nutrient from Daming, so they don't want to give back to Daming.

Li Chaosheng listened to Guo Bao and Gu Zi's words and smiled: "Okay, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, this money still has to be given to Chongzhen, and it is not a big amount of money, no."

"Why the county?"

Gu Zi asked puzzled.

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "For the sake of righteousness."

Hearing this, Gu Zi still wanted to say, but Guo Bao stopped Gu Zi, he knew that Li Chaosheng was right, for the sake of righteousness, this tax burden could not be given to Chongzhen, Li Chaosheng was a county magistrate of Chongzhen for several years, this morally speaking, Li Chaosheng should be regarded as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Chaosheng wants to get the world, he must take the world from the old Zhu family.

In the eyes of the Ming people, isn't this the person who betrayed the Lord and stabbed the Lord in the back? He will also be branded as a thief, although no one will dare to say it clearly when he ascends the throne in the future, but after his death, how will the history books record, and how will the later generations comment on Lantian winning the country?

It's like why Cao Mengde has always been reluctant to usurp the Han and become independent, a large part of it is because Cao Cao was the official of the Han family, so if he usurps the Han and is self-reliant, then he is a real thief, the same as the thieves he pacified, and the same as the Runan Yuan Shu who is not self-sufficient.

Cao Cao can serve as any infamy, but he is unwilling to bear the reputation of a thief, so he can't usurp the throne, and he is not willing to usurp the throne, leaving his innocent son to usurp the throne.

Therefore, Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty and became the emperor, and few people in the world scolded him at this point.

Therefore, a person who aspires to be an emperor must do things cleanly, such as Zhao Da and Zhao Kuangyin, who bullied other orphans and widows, which has been ridiculed by later generations many times, and at the same time, it has also injected very bad genes into the Song dynasty.

Li Chaosheng was an official of Chongzhen, so Li Chaosheng didn't want to publicly counter-judge, otherwise in the future history books, Li Chaosheng's evaluation would definitely drop a notch, and there would be a stain on his life, and countless people would use this stain to attack Li Chaosheng, and even Li Chaosheng's descendants.

It's like Li Shimin, who killed his brother and killed his brother, and in the end, no matter how many people sang the praises of the Tang Dynasty and all the countries coming to the court, there was always a small group of people behind their backs who put forward Li Shimin's black history to prove to the world that Li Shimin, the emperor's character, is not good.

So Li Chaosheng can't let people find fault with him, and the taxes that should be given are a lot of money to Chongzhen, and even Chongzhen's throne Li Chaosheng doesn't take it, he just waits for Li Zicheng to help him do Chongzhen, and the bad reputation will be given to this group of rogues who started in the green forest.

This is what Li Chaosheng wants to see, and it is also the reason why Li Chaosheng insists on paying taxes to the imperial court, which is called rather the imperial court bears me, and I can't bear the imperial court.

Of course, this is an impression that Li Chaosheng gave to the people of the world, if the imperial court really does not know what to do and touches Lantian's core interests, it will definitely be hit by Lantian's most brutal blow.

After all, Li Chaosheng just wants to spend money to support his reputation, not to really be the little daughter-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and he is obedient.

The effect that Li Chaosheng wants is that he will take it tomorrow, but no one says that he has won the country improperly, at least he can't let people stand behind him and point at his nose and scold him for being a thief who is a thief who has fled the country.

"County, county."

Li Chaosheng was talking to Guo Bao and Gu Zi, when he saw Zuo Sansi, the secretary and secretary general, hurriedly running over and saying, "County Zun, big thing, big thing."

"What's the big deal?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo Sansi in surprise, and Zuo Sansi took a report at this time: "I just got a piece of information, and Zhang Xianzhong turned against him."

"Oh?!"

Li Chaosheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again, this should be Zhang Xianzhong's last rebellion, and it also sounded the clarion call for the death of the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng calmed down his state a little, sat back in his place, stretched out his hand, and said, "Intelligence."

Zuo Sansi immediately handed over the information to Li Chaosheng with both hands.

Li Chaosheng unfolded the information and looked at it: "On March 18, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the earth dragon turned over, Hubei caused a disaster, Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to rebel, led his cronies and generals, and the righteous descendants were expected, Ai Nengqi took advantage of the night to capture Hubei Valley County, killed Ruan Zhixian of Zhixian County, opened a warehouse to release grain, accepted the displaced people, strengthened the momentum, and led the crowd to capture the seventy-eight rich households in the city, and scattered the money and wealth to the accompanying Liukou, and for a time the hearts of the people were negative, and the voice of the eight kings resounded in the city."

"That night, the military advisor Xu Yixian came to persuade Zhang Xianzhong not to stay in the city for a long time, the rebellion will definitely spread soon, be careful of Xiong Wencan, who supervised Huguang."

And Zhang Xianzhong didn't care, and said with a smile: Although we were Zhao'an in Gu County, but we have been waiting for this day, now the natural disaster is coming, and the people of Hubei are miserable.

So that night, Zhang Xianzhong took people to rest in Gu County, and Zhang Xianzhong was such a lascivious person, he didn't touch any woman in Gu County this night, and even the county magistrate's wife was rewarded to Ai Nengqi, who worked hardest in the siege, which shows that he has a firm heart.

The next day, Zhang Xianzhong led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave Guxian, and before leaving, he posted a notice on the city wall, the content of the notice was who he had sent money to over the years, how much money he had sent, when he sent it, who received it, and how detailed the content should be.

Even if the officialdom in Hubei was completely poked into a big hole at this time, all the officials panicked, Zhang Xianzhong, this bastard, this is a wolf, and he wrote everything he did, is this preparing to die together?

"Hehe, Zhang Xianzhong's splashing skin is a bit interesting."

Li Chaosheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, Zhang Xianzhong's hand was really dirty, and he sold half of the officialdom in Hubei almost at once.

Zuo Sansi saw Li Chaosheng seeing this page at this time, and said with a smile: "This Zhang Xianzhong has been really angry little girl all these years, and she has been blackmailed by these officials in Hubei, so before leaving, she can't help but vent, which is understandable."

Li Chaosheng also smiled: "Yes, Sun Chuanting was in Hubei before, Zhang Xianzhong knew that this was a hard nail, and he didn't dare to touch it, so he naturally wanted to wronged himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as Xiong Wencan came, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't control his nature."

Zuo Sansi said: "It may also be Xiong Wencan, Lord Xiong is too greedy, in this notice posted by Zhang Xianzhong, Lord Xiong Wencan's extortion of money is ranked second, full of 200,000 taels of silver, I have to say that the lion has opened his mouth."

"Second place? Who's the first place? Who's blacker than this Xiong Wencan?"

Zuo Sansi smiled when he heard this, "It's the county honor."

"Fart, when did Lao Tzu blackmail him."

Li Chaosheng slapped the table and stood up when he heard this, isn't this a naked slander?

Zuo Sansi heard this and said: "County Zun, in fact, what Zhang Xianzhong said can't be said to be unreasonable, although we didn't blackmail him openly, but we have traded with him, and the obsolete military equipment sold is very expensive, and the gunpowder is also much more than the normal market price of our Lantian, and the silver money earned from Zhang Xianzhong over the years is afraid that it is not less than 500,000 taels."

"Are there so many?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo Sansi with some surprise, and Zuo Sansi said, "It's just a lot, I don't believe you asked Guzi."

Gu Zi heard this and said, "Didn't the military department ask you to approve Zhang Tiaozi some time ago, and the money on it was basically earned from Zhang Xianzhong."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "Oh, that's a lot, but Lao Tzu is an upright business behavior, why put a basin on Lao Tzu's head, go, send someone out to make a notice for me, just say Zhang Xianzhong."

It's pure nonsense, dirty and innocent, and inform Zhang Xianzhong that if he dares to talk nonsense again, be careful that I send troops out of the Tongqian Pass, and when the time comes, I will kill him without the imperial court sending an army."

Hearing this, Zuo San thought and said, "County Venerable, you will frighten him like this."

Li Chaosheng said: "Hmph, let him stain my innocence, how can I sell things to thieves in my dignified Lantian County, it's really nonsense, it will affect the reputation of this county honor."

"Yes, yes."

Hearing this, Zuo Sansi nodded again and again, and then said with a smile: "County Zun, it should be Xiong Wencan and Xiong Shangshu who are more anxious than you now."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Hehe, that's what I said, this person is ambitious and talented, and he is good at bragging, and now he has stabbed such a big basket, if he Xiong Wencan can't remedy it in time, our Emperor Chongzhen can't spare him."

Hearing this, Zuo Sansi said: "It's fate, if Sun Chuanting hadn't been transferred to Xuanda to make up for Lu Xiangsheng's hole, this Zhang Xianzhong really didn't dare to revolt before Li Zicheng, and now Sun Chuanting has been transferred away, in exchange for Xiong Wencan, the king of cowhides, and he deserves the decline of the Ming Dynasty."

Guo Bao laughed and said nothing when he heard this, and Gu Zi said, "I know this Xiong Wencan, but when did he become a braggart king?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo San and thought, "Come, you can tell our Guzi brothers about it."

Zuo Sansi smiled and said: "This Xiong Wencan, what do you say, a bit of shit luck, in the second year of Chongzhen, Xiong Wencan was appointed as the political envoy of Fujian, and this year our big pirate Zheng Zhilong was tired of his pirate career, and wanted to change the official of the imperial court, so he wanted to surrender to the imperial court, and Xiong Wencan picked up such a big bargain as soon as he took office, and he was in the limelight for a while, and some people called his military exploits world-famous."

"Then he himself believed it, and felt that he was great, and he was so good at counterinsurgency and surrender, and the imperial court also rewarded such a capable minister, so he directly named him the governor of Liangguang."

"Originally, he sat very well in the position of the governor of these two Guangzhou, but people are easy to get carried away as soon as they are proud, not long ago, Lu Xiangsheng was beheaded, the governor of Xuanda was vacant, and Sun Chuanting of Hubei was transferred to Xuanda to fill the vacancy of Lu Xiangsheng, and this Hubei is empty."

"But Hubei still has Zhang Xianzhong, the restless lord, so the imperial court decided to send someone to take care of this gap in Hubei, Chongzhen drafted a few people at that time, such as Liu Zeqing in Shandong, He Renlong in Shanxi, but they all felt that they lacked weight, and at this time, someone proposed Xiong Wencan, and told him how Xiong Wencan recruited the big pirate Zheng Zhilong."

"When the emperor heard it, this is a talent, and he can't be buried, but this matter has been in Chongzhen's second year, and after more than ten years, that Lian is quite old, can he still eat?"

"Is Xiong Wencan old, can he still fight? So Chongzhen ordered his henchmen eunuch to go to Guangxi to collect medicine, and Xiong Wencan also knew about this matter, so Xiong Wencan set up a feast banquet in Quanzhou to entertain this Chongzhen's henchman eunuch, this eunuch and Xiong Wencan pushed the cup to change the lamp, and after three rounds of wine, the eunuch deliberately proposed that Hubei Zhang Xianzhong is His Majesty's confidant."

"Xiong Wencan also drank some wine at that time, and the alcohol was up, so he patted his chest and said, what is Zhang Xianzhong, if I guard Hubei, he Zhang Xianzhong will definitely bow his head obediently and be a minister of the Ming Dynasty forever."

"Hearing this, the eunuch tentatively asked: What if Zhang Xianzhong rebelled?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Zhang Xianzhong is a thing, how is he better than Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, ten years ago I could easily recruit Zheng Zhilong, and now I can't suppress a Zhang Xianzhong, rest assured that if I serve as the governor of Huguang, Your Majesty will be able to sit back and relax, I Xiong Wencan said this!"

"Listening to Xiong Wencan's words, the eunuch jumped up excitedly, grabbed Xiong Wencan's hand and said: Lord Xiong, you are really the pillar of the country, don't hide it from your lord, Your Majesty is because of this headache, so I asked me to come to Liangguang to find my lord, by the way, I will inspect my lord, I saw it today, Lord Xiong is really confident, this is the great fortune of the country, don't say anything, the miscellaneous family will leave now, go back and tell Your Majesty, there is Lord Xiong, Zhang Xianzhong is not worried!"

"Uh-huh?!!!

Xiong Wencan at that time

It's stupid, Lao Tzu drinks some wine and brags a little, how can he recruit such a big deal for himself, Zhang Xianzhong is a murderous demon, and he is so good that he has to do the fat shortage of the governor of Liangguang, and he is crazy to do this Governor of Huguang, isn't this ***?

"Father-in-law, listen to me, I'm ......."

"Lord Xiong, don't say anything, the pillar of the country, you are the person Your Majesty is looking for, I will go back and tell Your Majesty, the heavy responsibility of the governor of Huguang belongs to you, it is you, the miscellaneous family has retired, the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country......

"Hey, father-in-law...... Hey~"

Xiong Wencan looked at the back of the eunuch in the distance, wanting to cry without tears, and wanted to give himself two big mouths.
