"What! The rebels of Yuhebao attacked Yulinwei, plotted rebellion, and colluded with the Mongols?! ”

Lu Xiangsheng soon received a report from Zhang Yuhong, the governor of Yansui.

And this report was brought by Hong Chengchou himself.

Lu Xiangsheng was surprised by this.

"Ministry, this incident happened suddenly, and Xia Guan and Zhang Zhongcheng were quite surprised."

"From the point of view of the following officials, it is still related to the fact that these people are too strong, although they are clearly trying to quell the rebellion for the imperial court, in fact, they just want to take the opportunity to rob the house, and there are even a few ambitious people who intend to take the opportunity to harm my Daming country!"

Hong Chengchou said.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "This is impossible! The parish has already sent people to contact these rebels, and they are now willing to accept the imperial court's recruitment. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Ministry, why do you still call them righteous soldiers, they are a group of anti-thieves!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Hong Chengchou and said, "You tell the truth to this hall, what the hell is going on!" Most of them are just ordinary people, what chance can they collude with the Tartars outside the Guanwai! What's more, even if they rebel, they will only become rogues, how can you give you a chance to gather and annihilate tens of thousands of people! ”

Hong Chengchou saw that Lu Xiangsheng was not so easy to fool, so he had to give up his hand and say: "The ministry is angry!" Please retreat from the ministry first, and the lower officials dare to report truthfully. ”

Lu Xiangsheng let the people around him retreat, and then said, "Now you can talk about it." ”

Hong Chengchou said at this time: "If the righteous army is like a bandit, killing the gentry and plundering the rich people, it is simply evil, and it is a thief!" Just because they are fighting for the imperial court doesn't mean they are thieves! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Whether they are anti-thieves or not, that is also Your Majesty's decision!" ”

"Ministry, why don't you understand?!"

"Although Your Majesty has the final say, we have to first let these rebels who are fighting for the imperial court also become rebels!"

"In this way, the officials and soldiers will have a reason to kill him!"

"This so-called raw rice is also cooked rice."

"Could it be that the ministry still wants the court to continue to support them? If the imperial court wants to support these people, it will inevitably have to continue to levy on the people, even if it does not levy on the people, it will also levy on merchants and even the gentry! ”

Hong Chengchou said and said: "So, Ministry, we can only force them into thieves now, and then kill them all, so as to avoid being burdened by them in the future!" ”

"Please think about it!"

Hong Chengchou said and threw himself up.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Hong Chengchou for a long time and asked, "So, they didn't attack Yulinwei?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, and told Lu Xiangsheng the facts: "Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei's department, a total of tens of thousands of thieves have been killed, including their wives and children. Now, presumably, the other rebels must think that the court will not allow them! ”

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a shallow smile.

"You guys are simply lawless!"

Syllable!

Lu Xiangsheng slapped Hong Chengchou in the face.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but cover his face, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Unless the ministry really wants to kill the lower officials for those thieves!" If not, the most important thing for that ministry to do now should be to immediately mobilize heavy troops to prevent the so-called rebels everywhere from causing chaos everywhere! ”

"You guys!"

Lu Xiangsheng pointed at Hong Chengchou, and then said: "You haven't thought about it, if you do this, will it damage the society?" Once these rebels really become thieves, I am afraid that they will not only target the gentry who have joined the rebels, but also wander around, burning, killing and looting, so that it will be even more difficult to control in the future! ”

"Ministry! The lower officials had the audacity to say that for our scholars and doctors, it is better to let them mess up the society than to let them go to sea in the name of the imperial court officials and soldiers! ”

"They messed up the Ming Dynasty, it was nothing more than a new dynasty, and the new dynasty will continue to ban the sea because of the Ming Dynasty's opening of the border and the death of the country, and dare not have the heart to open the border at will, and continue to reuse our scholars. But if they succeed in going to sea and opening up the border, then the Haili monopolized by my gentry will be owned by the imperial court! ”

Hong Chengchou said excitedly at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng looked back at Hong Chengchou: "You actually want to do it for the selfish interests of the world's corporal doctors, and you don't hesitate to harm my Daming Sheji?!" ”

Hong Chengchou felt bad when he saw Lu Xiangsheng like this, he thought that Lu Xiangsheng was willing to give up literature and martial arts in the past and go to the martial arts academy to serve because he was utilitarian and the same as himself, but he didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to really have a big heart for the Ming Society.

I've met a true loyalist!

Syllable!

Hong Chengchou knelt down directly: "Forgive the sins!" Xia Guan's words just now were wrong, it really shouldn't be! But the matter has come to this point, and I ask the ministry not to dwell on this matter anymore. The lower official is willing to be the first to lead the troops to exterminate these rebels, if the lower official can't do it, it will not be too late for the ministry to kill the lower official at that time! ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Hong Chengchou for a long time and was about to speak.

"Ministry, Uncle Guo's decree is here!"

But at this time, a general soldier under Lu Xiangsheng came outside to report.

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "Open the middle door immediately and put the cicadus on it." ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sink in his heart after hearing that Zhang Gui was coming.

Not long after, when Zhang Gui finished announcing the decree, Hong Chengchou, who knelt down with Lu Xiangsheng to listen to the decree, his face became even more ugly.

"Who is this?"

Zhang Gui therefore specially asked Lu Xiangsheng about the neatly dressed civil official in front of him.

"Shaanxi Governor Grain participated in the politics of Hong Yanyan, and was ordered by Zhang Zhongcheng, the governor of Yansui, to report to the lower officials about Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei's rebellion."

Lu Xiangsheng took the holy decree at this time and smiled back to Zhang Gui.

Hong Chengchou saluted Zhang Gui here.

"Wang Zuogui rebelled?"

Zhang Gui was stunned for a moment and asked, "But the rebels in the Suide area?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied: "Exactly." But in fact it is not a rebellion. ”

"Not a rebellion?"

Zhang Gui's heart also sank.

Lu Xiangsheng said to Hong Chengchou here: "You will say what you said to this official again to Uncle Guo." ”

"Ministry, what do you say again, the lower officials don't understand."

Hong Chengchou directly denied it.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Didn't you say that you and Zhang Yuhong deceived them into Yulinwei and killed them, and you want to frame them for rebellion?!" Why don't you admit it now?! ”

Hong Chengchou can confess to Lu Xiangsheng, because Lu Xiangsheng is also a member of the scholars, so Hong Chengchou is not worried about what Lu Xiangsheng will do to him.

But Zhang Gui is a relative of the military, Hong Chengchou will naturally not confess again, and even deny it.

It's just that Hong Chengchou didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would be so disregarding the friendship of Shilin, and he would not cover up for his people in front of Zhang Gui at all, which made him feel more and more that he had misjudged Lu Xiangsheng, and he could only deny it at this time.

"Sun and Moon"

"Hong Yanyan, I didn't expect you to be such a villain!"

Lu Xiangsheng was furious.

Hong Chengchou first said aggrievedly: "You are angry, but you can't be so wronged!" ”

Peng!

Hong Chengchou suddenly saw a big kick in front of him, and then the whole person fell heavily to the ground, and his eyes were so painful that he burst into tears.

"Okay, you Hong Chengchou, dare to disrupt the great politics of this dynasty!"

And Zhang Gui, who chose to believe in Lu Xiangsheng, had already withdrawn his feet at this time, and after shouting, he ordered loudly:

"Come on, tie up Hong Chengchou to Benhou!"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be surprised, and said in his heart: "Uncle Zhang Guo actually knows my real name?!" ”

It's scary to think about!
