Chapter 231: Murder by Knife (Second Watch)
"It's the sinner." Zhang Guozhu trembled.
Now Zhang Guozhu's belly fire has long since disappeared, replaced by uneasiness.
Uncle asked the last man to invite Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, why is the emperor here?
It seems that the uncle doesn't know either, and there may be a murder in front of him......
When the emperor came to the city, these guards didn't know anything, and they neither greeted nor came to meet the king of Tianziqin, which was a crime of deceiving the king.
The emperor's face was furious, and it was a matter of minutes to lose his head.
As a general of Daming Border Town, Zhang Guozhu certainly knows how powerful it is.
"Since you call yourself a sinner, tell me about your sins." Chongzhen's face was expressionless.
Such a person with no character and no virtue, of course Chongzhen looks down on him, even if he is willing to continue to serve the court, Chongzhen will not use him.
The way of employing people is to first promote their morality, and then their talents.
The greater the talent without virtue, the heavier the calamity, and the greater the harm.
Let him report to the door, Chongzhen is looking for his stubble today.
Chongzhen asked him to self-analyze the charges, and the sweat on Zhang Guozhu's face fell.
But Zhang Guozhu is also very cunning, just like the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in later generations, when he examines and corrects himself, he avoids the important and trivializes the trivial, and turns the big things into small things.
"The Emperor's Atonement...... The minister did not know that the emperor had arrived, he did not greet him from afar, and he failed to escort the king in time, and the minister was guilty."
Zhang Guozhu plans to understate and fool around, let the emperor atone for his sins first, and then don't blame those who don't know, put these in front first, and try to open up his own crimes.
Of course, Chongzhen knew the little Jiujiu in his heart, and couldn't help but smile secretly, I plan to have your head, do you still have a job? Even if you have the seventy-two changes of Sun Wukong, you can't escape the palm of the Buddha.
I will list two of them for you, if the beheading is small, I am afraid that I will have to raid the house and destroy the door.
"Don't blame those who don't know, I'm traveling in micro-service this time, I'm here to ask you, what are you doing at the Nine Gates?"
When Zhang Guozhu heard it, the emperor was sage! I don't know if it's strange, Longmu is gracious.
Zhang Guozhu hurriedly kowtowed, "If you go back to the emperor, I have been ordered by Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui to invite Tang Tong and Bai Guangen to Shanhaiguan to discuss matters."
Of course, Zhang Guozhu didn't dare to hide it, when he reported to the door just now, he had already shouted 9 times.
"Tang Tong and Bai Guangen have betrayed me a long time ago and defected to the thief Li Zicheng, so you and Wu Sangui also collaborated with the enemy to commit treason and defect to the thief?"
Chongzhen's voice was not high, but when Zhang Guozhu heard it, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and surrendering to the thieves, which was more than 10 times more powerful than the crime of bullying the king.
"No, no, no...... Emperor Mingjian...... The minister didn't dare, the minister had a love to return......" Zhang Guozhu was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed up, and he couldn't speak.
"Hmph, don't dare to wait."
Chongzhen nodded, with a hint of a smile on his face.
treats such a person with no character and no virtue, and he is also a celebrity, a notorious person, Chongzhen wants to kill him directly now, but it will leave a truth for future generations.
After all, he hasn't surrendered yet***, although he is mixed with Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui is still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and he has not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the crime has not yet been confirmed.
Even if you want to kill, you have to kill to convince the people of the world.
Therefore, Chongzhen planned to give him a trap and let him drill into it by himself.
"Your Majesty, the minister and the peace of Xibo Wu Sangui were ordered to enter the king of Weiqin, and halfway through the road, I heard that the emperor committed suicide and martyrdom, and broke his liver and intestines, so he had no choice but to return to Shanhaiguan, but the minister did not dare to forget the emperor's kindness at any time, and he did not miss the thief to serve the country, isn't this about to fight to the death with the thief in Shanhaiguan?"
Zhang Guozhu burst into tears when he said this, and those who didn't know the inside story thought that he was really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Chongzhen nodded, "In that case, how can you explain the matter of inviting Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the two rebel ministers?"
"The emperor is tolerant, Tang Tong Bai Guangen betrayed the Ming Dynasty and took refuge in the thieves, and the crime cannot be punished. However, later Wu Dashuai successfully rebelled against the two of them, and they were forced to surrender to the thieves. It is said that the two of them are still interested in Da Ming and plan to join forces with Wu Dashuai to punish the thieves
, Wu Dashuai gave up the city to them. However, these two generals did not go to see Wu Dashuai for a long time, so they sent their ministers to invite the two, but they did not expect to meet the holy driver here."
Zhang Guozhu did not dare to hide it at all.
"Okay, even if you are a little loyal to me, then I will tell you that Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, the two rebels, surrendered to the thieves and joined forces with the two Aiqing families is fake, this is all a trick of the thieves, the purpose is to deceive Guancheng. Therefore, how dare they go to Shanhaiguan to see Wu Aiqing? Fortunately, he was recognized by me, otherwise Shanhaiguan would be in danger, and you would have fallen for him. But I've killed them and regained control of the city."
Chongzhen really has it, and there are fake ones, staring at Zhang Guozhu here.
I heard that Tang Tong and Bai Guangen have been killed, and they faked surrender to deceive Wu Sangui's trust, got a stone, and the next step is to earn Shanhaiguan.
Zhang Guozhu's eyes were shocked, and he felt a little afraid, but fortunately he was recognized by the emperor and killed them, these two thieves were innocent!
"Your Majesty." Zhang Guozhu had no doubts about Chongzhen's words.
"Qing will go back now, and don't make a noise, pass on my message to Wu Aiqing, let him travel lightly, and come to King Shiqin quickly, and I will teach him face-to-face."
"The minister obeys the order, and the minister retires." Zhang Guozhu stopped crying now, wiped the sweat from his face, got up and walked out.
Looking at Zhang Guozhu's disappearing back, Wang Chengen said, "Master plans to trick Wu Sangui into coming over to punish the crime?"
Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Wu Sangui, this chaotic minister and thief is very ghostly, he will definitely not be fooled, but Zhang Guozhu will definitely not survive, I call it killing people with a knife."
Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
