Hard mouth!

The civil officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty all had a common merit.

That's a hard mouth!

Zhou Xian didn't think it was a snake.

Yu Jinshan reprimanded sharply: "Lord Zhao, you'd better watch it seriously!" ”

Zhao Hongxue opened the case hard, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like ashes.

What is recorded above is not only his fault in recommending Gu Qianshun.

Especially the testimony handed in by Gu Qianshun.

It counted more than a dozen of his crimes.

And they are all crimes that cannot be hammered again.

There are both human and material evidence.

"Zhao Hongxue, do you have anything to say?"

Facing the questioning of the current superintendent of the country, Zhao Hongxue's knees trembled, and he wanted to kneel down several times.

But he chose to hold on hard at the critical moment.

That's right!

This is the second advantage of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, 'I would rather die than give in'!

"Pony!" Zhao Hongxue pretended to be calm, showing a heroic and righteous spirit, and a heroic style of righteous annihilation.

I saw him tidy up his official robe, and said majestically: "Donkey, this must be Gu Qianshun's bastard's false accusation against his own official." ”

"The official thinks that Gu Qianshun colluded with the party and blocked the court, and now that the East Window incident has happened, he wants to involve the official and mess up this mess."

"Such vicious people are angry and hated. How can a colt slander his own ruler by the word of his family? ”

"Oh? Is that me wrong to blame Zhao Aiqing? Zhou Xian suppressed his anger and pretended to be peaceful.

Zhao Hongxue showed a breezy breeze more than before, and said unruly: "Yes, this official has been in the temple for many years, although he can't be said to be in a high position, but he is also a member of the three grades, how can he be committed to begging for grievances and colluding with a dog official the size of a sesame seed?" ”

"Does this official have such a small family?"

"But this official is thinking about sharing worries for the court, working day and night, and never being ashamed of the court!"

"I have never been ashamed of Your Majesty."

"This situation, heaven and earth can learn from it, and please ask Your Majesty to be aware of it."

In the last two sentences, Zhao Hongxue bowed his hand in the direction of Mount Tai in the north.

Obviously, he said it to Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor who was far away in Shandong.

is even more used to put pressure on Zhou Xian.

So that Zhou Xian can recognize his identity, even if he is a colt?

It's just a foreign minister's relative.

It is Chongzhen who is really in charge.

Besides, do the three major members of the Ming Dynasty catch them if they want to?

At this moment, Zhao Hongxue boasted that he had more backbone than Qian Qianyi.

Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Hongxue, who looked at death as if he were at home, and was unyielding.

I can't help but want to laugh.

He knows best this kind of trick of the Ming civil officials.

Crying dad and calling mother, who will show you one crying, two troubles, and three hangings?

Do you really think I gave you face?

Zhou Xian nodded towards Yu Jinshan.

The latter understood, turned around and said, "Bring the man up." ”

After a few moments, two brocade guards dragged a man covered in bruises and walked in.

He is Gu Qianshun, the county magistrate of Zhengding County.

After Gu Qianshun came in, when he saw Zhao Hongxue, his expression was obviously shocked.

Instead, there was a resentful look.

Without waiting for Zhou Xian to ask more, Gu Qian pointed at Zhao Hongxue and said, "Master Ma, it's him, he instructed me to do that." ”

Is Gu Qianshun stupid?

He's not stupid at all.

He opened his eyes a little to see what was going on.

It was clearly for him to testify.

"You are spewing blood, how can there be such a country man as you in the eyes of this official?"

Zhao Hongxue was furious.

It's time for the show.

Zhou Xian put on an attitude of not thinking much of a big deal when he watched the excitement, and specially asked Gu Qianshun to help him up and give him a seat.

He immediately said: "Gu Qianshun, think about your members of the Nine Clans before you speak, if there is half a lie, I will hand you over to Lord Zhao to deal with." ”

Zhou Xian's words were murderous.

Gu Qianshun immediately suddenly said hurriedly: "My lord, what the lower official said next is true, if there is half a point of concealment, what does it matter if the lord punishes the ten clans of the lower official?" ”

Zhou Xian: "......"

Zhou Xian was happy in his heart, this sound sounds so familiar.

The relatives and friends of the tenth clan of Gu Qianshun are estimated to be reciting poems again, and they will thank their former friends.

"Zhao Hongxue, people are watching the sky."

"Six years ago, Inspector Yuan fought with Huang Taiji in Liaodong!"

"It's you who are the grain transport officer, in the war-torn Liaodong big frontier formation, deducting the grain and grass and the weapons and armor issued by the imperial court."

"You made a profit of eight million taels of silver, and the buyer is Jiannu Emperor Taiji."

"You, you are talking nonsense, blood is spewing people, it's just nonsense, someone is coming, ......"

Zhao Hongxue thought that this was his mansion.

Subconsciously, he wanted to let his house slave slash Gu Qianshun to death.

But when he noticed the loss, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Instead, he said to Zhou Xian with a hideous face: "Donkey, such an evil obstacle is useless in external warfare, and it is useless to cause trouble internally, and there is no long-term problem, so what's the use of keeping him?" ”

"Then what is the use of the court keeping you?"

Zhou Xian said in a deep voice, and Zhao Hongxue, who was stunned, was speechless.

Then Zhou Xian said to Gu Qianshun: "Go on." ”

"The master of the horse is above, what the lower officials said is reasonable and well-founded, the imperial court distributed the grain of Liaodong that year, and it was fortunate to pass through Shanggu County, and the general who transported the grain also rested in Shanggu for one night."

"At that time, Xia Guan had just performed the county order of Zhengding County, so he was also transferred to the county guard mansion by Lord Shanggu to accompany him."

"It was that time that the lower official received a letter from Zhao Hongxue and asked the lower official to convey it to the general who transported the grain."

"Xiaguan didn't care, who would have thought that after the banquet of the county guard's mansion, the general of the grain road left 50,000 stone of grain in Zhengding County, Xiaguan."

"Six million catties in total."

Gu Qianshun trembled when he said this, because he had never seen such a large amount of grain and grass in his life.

So I still remember it vividly.

At that time, Gu Qianshun felt that he was about to lose his head.

But not only did he not have any afterwards, but the court also rewarded him.

A hundred taels of gold were given!

And it is deeply appreciated by the county keeper.

Gu Qianshun's words brought a lot of information.

The anger in Zhou Xian's heart became even colder.

Because Zhou Xian has looked through the mess in Liaodong in the past few days.

Since Inspector Yuan was executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi.

Liaodong has lost its crown as the largest town in the north.

The Ningyuan Iron Cavalry was basically wiped out.

The remaining Liaodong Iron Cavalry also lost its former demeanor.

Most of the soldiers discarded their armor and fled into the civilian population.

Many of them also changed careers to become rogue bandits.

It was after that that Jiannu took advantage of the situation to go south and invaded the eastern Liaodong border in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

And the front of the army is directed at Beijing.

Fortunately, there is also a Great Wall barrier on the Liaodong side, directly together with the Bohai Sea.

If Jiannu wants to come in, there is only land and sea.

The threat at sea is also great.

After all, Yuan Chonghuan had already beheaded Mao Wenlong to death.

The gap on the land, that is, the Xuanfu border town together with Yanmen Pass.

Therefore, these are also the two major routes for Jiannu to settle in the Central Plains recognized by hundreds of civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

But these are all things that Zhou Xian has to face now.
