Liu Xingzuo?

Chongzhen was not impressed by the name.

I only know that this person once took refuge in Daming from Houjin and served as Mao Wenlong's deputy, and then his whereabouts are unknown.

But in any case, Chongzhen is still very interested in Nurhachi's son-in-law!

Seeing the change in the emperor's complexion, Yuan Chonghuan introduced, "General Liu is a righteous citizen of Liaodong, who was originally taken away by Nurhachi, and was forcibly conscripted as a concubine and was responsible for managing the four guards in southern Liaoning. ”

However, General Liu has always been in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and Mao Wenlong's attack in southern Liaoning is all General Liu's deliberate cooperation. He did not hesitate to use self-immolation as a cover, leaving behind his family still in southern Liaoning and crossing to Phi Island. ”

"Jianzhou entered the fortress, and I summoned General Liu to bring a thousand Phi Dao horse troops into the guard. During the Battle of Zunhua, he and his ancestor Dashou went to the mountain pass in the north of Jianzhou to pursue, and also captured more than a dozen Karaqin prisoners. ”

Chongzhen nodded heavily, and praised both Yuan Chonghuan and Liu Xingzuo verbally.

Yuan Chonghuan asked again, "The minister came in person, just to ask His Majesty to allow General Liu to be the chief soldier of Phi Dao and go straight to the back road of southern Liaoning." ”

Chongzhen frowned, thinking that Yuan Chonghuan was going to repeat the so-called tripartite arrangement again.

Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said again, "Sun Gaoyang has accused me not to focus on the overall situation of the east and west wings. Phi Dao and Denglai soldiers, but with Your Majesty's allocation, but Liu Zongbing is loyal and righteous soldiers, and Tao is overlooked, I implore Your Majesty to use it! ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Being so loyal and good, it can be said that I am in the middle of the Ming Dynasty." Naturally, I have to be reused. I happen to have a few words, and I would like to ask General Liu more. ”

Yuan Chonghuan saw that Chongzhen not only agreed to reuse Liu Xingzuo, but also had a long talk with him, so he was satisfied and retired and rushed to Liaoxi to guard the border pass.

Chongzhen glanced at Liu Xingzuo, and suddenly asked, "Do you know the inside story of Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong?" Some people say that Yuan Chonghuan was bought by Jianzhou and beheaded the general, and some people say that Mao Wenlong fornicated with Huang Taiji, and Yuan Chonghuan had to do it as a last resort. You've been through this, what do you think of the two of them? ”

Liu Xingzuo didn't expect Chongzhen to ask such a terrible question at the beginning, and took a deep breath and replied.

"Report to Your Majesty, neither Inspector Yuan nor Mao Shuai have collaborated with the enemy."

"Inspector Yuan killed Mao Shuai just for four words: five years of Pingliao."

Oh? Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and ordered Liu Xingzuo to speak carefully.

Liu Xingzuo said, "Although the slave chiefs are extremely vicious and perverse, they are the most fair and eclectic in employing people. ”

"The last general was just a general, his qualifications were blunt, and he could match the women of the clan, and he was even appointed to the four towns in southern Liaoning."

"Imagine that Inspector Yuan and Mao Shuai, their official rank and talent are ten times that of me, if they have already intended to commit treason, I am afraid that it is not a problem to be crowned a king with a different surname, so why wait until today."

Chongzhen's head.

It was precisely because of this logic that he chose to believe Yuan Manzi once he saw him, and Yuan Chonghuan did not disappoint him.

Liu Xingzuo said amazingly, "As for Inspector Yuan's beheading, there is indeed someone behind it. ”

"Who is it?" Chongzhen's eyebrows jumped.

"One is the last general, and the other is Mao Shuai himself."

Chongzhen is interested, is this Mao Wenlong's son's plan to sacrifice his head?

Liu Xingzuo said, "The officers and soldiers of Mao Shuai Phi Island were all defeated and fled in the Battle of Guangning that year, and their combat power was actually not outstanding. ”

"It's not that the last general boasts, most of Mao Shuai's gains during the apocalypse will fall on the last general. It was the minister who gave him a message about when the main force of Jianzhou would stay away, and pointed out to him those villages that were not heavily guarded, so that the soldiers on Phi Island could calmly land and invade. ”

"However, as soon as there are many such things, it arouses the suspicion of the old thief, and the minister has no choice but to incite the rebellion of the four guards, and take advantage of the chaos to withdraw to Phi Island with his subordinates, but the incident was discovered by the subordinates of Jianzhou."

Fortunately, the last general was alert, killed the man immediately, and planted the previous traces on this person's head. Unexpectedly, the old thief still noticed it, killed the minister's brother, and asked the minister's insiders to step up the surveillance of the minister. ”

"In order to escape from southern Liaoning, the minister had to kill another house slave, and after exchanging our clothes, he burned this person's face to obscurity, so that he was able to escape to Phi Island."

Although he said plainly, Chongzhen could also appreciate the thrilling just by listening. "What happened? But you have a grudge with Mao Wenlong? ”

Liu Xingzuo said calmly, "I don't have any personal grudges with Mao Shuai. It's just that he is old and virtuous, and when he saw that he couldn't continue to get the head of Jianzhou from me to report the victory, he did not hesitate to kill the Liao people who fled to Phi Island, shaved their hair and tied their braids, and cut off their heads to ask for merit! ”

He suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we Liao people are also Han people!" As early as the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, it had been resting in eastern Liaodong. ”

"I know that some people in the DPRK have been slandering the Liao people who are not Han Chinese, and they also say that Liaodong fell because the Liao people became traitors. But how did they know that the people who hate the traitors who opened the door for Jianzhou the most are none other than our Liao people! ”

"After the old thieves conquered southern Liaoning, they called the Liao people who were poor and landless and could not pay for grain as foodless people, and they were all killed like livestock."

"The Liao people, who originally lived and worked in peace and contentment, could only give their land to the Jurchen soldiers after they came to Jianzhou, sleeping in the cowshed and eating pig food."

"What makes the minister and the old thief even more incompatible is that after he captured Kaiyuan, he killed all the Liao people in the city because of his own selfish anger, including the minister's parents and parents."

At the end, Liu Xingzuo's eyes were already blood-red, and there was a hidden trill. "The old thief treats his ministers as if they were his son. Mao Shuai was also not thin on his ministers, and he protected his ministers as a guerrilla general. ”

But these favors cannot be compared with the minister's killing of relatives. The high hall is above, and the minister can't fail to report it, otherwise the sky is the earth, how can the minister survive? ”

Chongzhen sighed, "So Yuan Chonghuan went to explore the truth of Phi Dao, and you secretly reported to him, telling him that Mao Wenlong not only had his armaments wasted, but also that his previous military exploits were mostly false?" ”

Seeing Liu Xingzuo nodding, Chongzhen asked with a little anger, "Then do you know that Mao Wenlong's crime of taking meritorious service should be dealt with by the imperial court." It's not that you take matters into your own hands and behead him! ”

Liu Xingzuo was silent, and then said, "If Mao Shuai is a reasonable person who fears the king's law, I will naturally go with Inspector Yuan to see the Liaodong patrol and explain the matter clearly in 1510." ”

But Mao Shuai was originally born in Hangzhou, and he has always been rigid and unruly. On the island, except for the ministers and the guest generals of the imperial court, all the generals and generals were accepted by him as righteous sons or married by him, and they became one and the same. ”

Chongzhen knew that although the Ming Dynasty's clamping on military attaches was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, it was also very jealous of Mao Wenlong's collusion from top to bottom, and it could even be said that if it was not for the special status of Phi Dao, this was his way to death.

"If we really report to the imperial court, no one knows what Mao Shuai will do when he is angry."

"Therefore, when I saw Inspector Yuan, I said that the country can lose a single hair of Wenlong, but it must not lose Phi Island."

"And Inspector Yuan is suffering from the fact that he can't attack from Liaoxi alone, and Mao Shuai has always been detached from him, and there is no way to talk about Pingliao for five years. So they hit it off with me. ”

Chongzhen opened his eyes, it turned out that it was Liu Xingzuo from Phi Island who killed Mao Wenlong, and he did it together with Yuan Chonghuan.

This Liu Xingzuo is really bold, although it is based on the truth, but the private collusion between him and Yuan Chonghuan to kill the official is enough to kill the two of them.

However, this completely whitewashed his suspicion that he was a spy in Jianzhou, and made Chongzhen have more trust in him.

Just as Chongzhen was groaning, Liu Xingzuo knelt down again and said, "The minister still has a big crime that has not been reported to His Majesty!" ”
