Chapter 364: Hitting a Wall

As a scholar, as a Confucian who reads poetry and books, when he sees such a scene, but he can't reach out to help, how can Yu Xuekui's heart be calm.

Although Confucianism is rotten, it has also cultivated immortal loyal souls from generation to generation.

Not long after, Yu Xuekui's carriage stopped outside the Dongchang Yamen.

This yamen is guarded by officials on weekdays.

But now, after Dongchang Mansion was occupied, it has long changed.

The officials were gone, and in their place were dozens of rebels guarding the yamen, as if guarding.

And the big drum outside the yamen was frequently beaten by the people.

In Yu Xuekui's vision, he saw an old man beating the drum desperately, and he didn't know what he was complaining about.

However, even when his drums beat loudly, the dozens of rebels still dismissed them as if they didn't see them.

This is the so-called fake court.

They may be superficially pretentious, but in reality, they will take care of these things.

Yu Xuekui withdrew his eyes and no longer looked at the old man, but got off the carriage and stood at the door of the yamen, looking inside.

The dozens of rebels also saw that Yu Xuekui was dressed extraordinarily, not like an ordinary person.

Among them, a guard general stepped forward and stared at Yu Xuekui viciously and said, "Old man, where you came, staring at the yamen, do you want to report to the official?" ”

Yu Xuekui straightened his body slightly, not letting the momentum of the rebels overwhelm him, he glanced at the rebels, and said: "I am a scholar of the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court, the great sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, Yu Xuekui." ”

"I want to see your general, Liu Gongcao, please take me there."

He came here with the intention of directly reporting his identity.

Although this is dangerous, it is the fastest way to meet the master of Dongchang Mansion.

As soon as these words came out, the soldier was slightly stunned, and there was a trace of awe in his eyes.

For the imperial court, they are still in awe.

The Hanlin Academy is the primary political institution of the imperial court, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy are the most authoritative officials in the Hanlin Academy.

Is this the court boss coming?

The soldier looked at this thin old man and was a little frightened.

Before he rebelled, he had never seen such a big man in his life.

Yu Xuekui looked at him with cloudy eyes: "The imperial court has a will to talk to Liu Gongcao and let the old man go to see him." ”

The soldier hesitated slightly.

But he was afraid that he would miss some important news, so he said: "Okay, you wait here, I'll go and ask General Liu." ”

With that, he hurriedly walked into the yamen.

Yu Xuekui stood at the entrance of the yamen, closing his eyes and recuperating.

After a while, the soldier hurriedly ran back again, looked at Yu Xuekui and said, "Our general invites you in." ”

With that, get out of the way slightly.

Even if it is a rebellion, there is a natural fear of this kind of court boss.

Yu Xuekui walked straight in.

All the way through the inner hall and when he came to the trial hall, Yu Xuekui finally met the person he wanted to see, Liu Gongcao!

Why the first stop is here.

Because Liu Gongcao was originally a general in the Beijing camp, but later defected to the King of Han.

Seeing Liu Gongcao, Yu Xuekui arched his hand and said, "General Liu, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Liu Gongcao is a stout man, and he can see the muscular body hidden under his armor.

He still has a scar on his face.

This scar was injured for the border of the country.

Liu Gongcao sat on the top seat, looked at Yu Xuekui and said: "Scholar of Hanlin Academy, Guozijian Grand Sacrificial Wine, I have never seen such a big official." ”

In Beijing, Liu Gongcao is only a thousand households.

Qianhu is not qualified to meet a big official like Yu Xuekui.

Yu Xuekui's face did not change, and he looked at Liu Gongcao with cloudy eyes: "Then you see it now." ”

Liu Gongcao grinned: "Yes, I see it now." ”

"You came to me to persuade you to surrender, right?"

Yu Xuekui bowed: "Yes." ”

This great Confucian didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "I want you to persuade King Han to let King Han give up raising troops." ”

Give up the army?

Liu Gongcao grinned and sneered: "We have finally taken the entire territory of Shandong, and now you are telling us to give up the army?" ”

With Shandong as the foundation and grain and grass transportation place, it is not particularly difficult to get to Nanjing, and in Liu Gongcao's view, the odds of winning are very high.

At this time, how could he persuade King Han to give up the army!

Yu Xuekui looked at the scar on his face and muttered, "On the way here, I have already investigated your case." ”

"This scar on your face was caused by the border of the country, right?"

"You are the general of the Beijing camp, defending the border for the country, guarding the people of the Ming Dynasty, and now you choose to rebel, wouldn't it harm the people you have guarded for ten years?"

Liu Gongcao was slightly stunned.

The scar on his face was indeed cut by a scimitar.

He fought for the country, blocked the Tatar sneak attack several times, and has been guarding the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The faith in his heart has not yet been extinguished......

However, Liu Gongcao raised his head, looked at Yu Xuekui, and said in a deep voice: "Then do you know that it is precisely because His Royal Highness the King of Han saved me in time that I only have an extra scar on my face, otherwise I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago." ”

"I owe King Han a life, so I have to die for him!"

"The court is unfair, the king of Han was born and died for the court, participated in various wars of all sizes, and the emperor also said that the son of the world is sick, and you should encourage him."

"But in the end, the emperor didn't lose his promise, how could the king of Han rebel?"

Yu Xuekui frowned tightly and looked at Liu Gongcao: "Then how can you persuade the King of Han to surrender?" ”

Liu Gongcao said: "Let the emperor issue an edict and return the position that belongs to the King of Han to him!" ”

Yu Xuekui sighed: "You know that this is impossible. ”

Above the court, there are already princes and grandsons, how can it be possible to pass the throne to the king of Han again.

Liu Gongcao grinned and sneered: "So, we don't have to talk about it." ”

"It was not the King of Han who turned his back on the court first, it was the court that turned his back on the King of Han first."

"King Han said that he must fight to the foot of Nanjing City, and he wants the emperor to admit it himself, he said that!"

Yu Xuekui took a deep breath and said, "Are you willing to let the lives of Daming be ruined?" ”

Liu Gongcao's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The court doesn't care, what do I care about?" ”

"It's good to go, don't send it."

Liu Gongcao has already given the order to send off the guests.

Yu Xuekui wanted to say something more, but beside Liu Gongcao, two soldiers had already grabbed Yu Xuekui and took him outside.

went directly to the door of the yamen and drove Yu Xuekui out.

Yu Xuekui shouted two more words inside, but there was still no response, and the old man couldn't help but sigh.

One of the rebels sneered: "It's your blessing that General Liu doesn't arrest you, if you don't leave, don't blame us for doing it." ”

Yu Xuekui's face turned pale, but he didn't say anything anymore.

Looking at Liu Gongcao's appearance, it is difficult to persuade.

If he continues to stay here, he may be imprisoned by Liu Gongcao.

Yu Xuekui took a deep breath, turned around, and got into the carriage.

The soldier who was driving couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Scholar Yu, did Liu Gongcao agree?" ”

Yu Xuekui shook his head: "No." ”

The soldier said: "Now that they have captured the whole territory of Shandong, how can they be willing to surrender easily, scholar Yu, we hope that ...... slim"

When Yu Xuekui heard this, he was slightly stunned: "The old man doesn't know that there is little hope, but he has to give it a try." ”

"Let's go, change the route, and go to Yanzhou Mansion."

Yu Xuekui's carriage turned the horse's head and slowly left the city.
