With Liu Yuliang as the chief assistant, in the next few days, the memorials of impeachment and attacking Li Xiao were filled with Chongzhen’s imperial table like snowflakes.

"I am Liu Zhifeng, the Minister of Revenue, recently heard about Chi Fengbo and Li Xiao's affairs, and was extremely angry. Since ancient times, the rule of the king and his ministers have been the foundation of establishing a country and the foundation of building an industry. Now Li Xiao ignored it and set up officials without a king or father, and there is no ruler or father, and there is no ruler or ruler! Such domineering and perverted people, even if they have great achievements in the country, they should not sit idly by and act rashly! I hope the emperor will quickly postpone the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter. If everything is found to be true, Li Xiao must be severely punished to be respectful and effective..."

"I was a secretary of Huang Daozhou. When I heard about Chi Feng Bo Li Xiao, I started the war easily, occupied Taiwan alone, and set up all the officials in private. I was indignant. What can I say? Li Xiao was the Chi Feng Bo, who was the general of the country's city, but he was famous for being a clean and upright, and secretly had the heart of a tiger and wolf. He ignored the national grace and the court. He did all kinds of things, which was obvious! I hope that Your Majesty would send the Jinyiwei to investigate his mistakes in detail and pursue his responsibilities deeply. He must not indulge himself in his own way, and eventually lead to a great disaster..."

"Fu Guan, the Minister of Rites, is now risking his life to submit a memorial to Li Xiao for his crimes, embezzle Taiwan, and smuggle and sell the country. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we have always been respectful to the king, the ministers, and the affairs of the people are harmonious. We have never been as lawless and greedy as Li Xiao. Li Xiao is evil and arrogant and arrogant, which is horrifying! Even if he has made a small contribution to the country, he can be despised and despised the capital of the court? I hope your majesty will quickly find out Li Xiao's crimes and punish him seriously, thinking that he will be a warning to later generations..."

"I am a secretary of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Xichou, who risked his life to impeach Chi Fengbo Li Xiao. In my opinion, Li Xiao is named a good general of the state dynasty, but he is actually a giant thief of the state dynasty..."

"I am the inspector of the censor Lin Chaoqiu..."

"Xu Qing, editor of the History Museum..."

In the Qianqing Palace, looking at the impeachment memorials stacked on the imperial case, Chongzhen looked terrifyingly dark.

"Wow!"

Chongzhen suddenly felt like he was crazy and swept the whole lot of memorials, along with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, to the ground.

Above the Dan stairs, there is a mess.

Seeing the emperor so anxious and angry, Cao Huachun and others on the side dared not show off.

"How long has Yang Sichang been to Shanxi? Why haven't he returned to the capital yet?!"

Chongzhen suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly at Cao Huachun, his voice full of anxiety and anxiety.

The reason why Chongzhen hoped so much was that Yang Sichang, who was the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, returned to the capital because he was now upset and anxious by these memorials impeaching Li Xiao. In his opinion, only the opinions of Yang Sichang, who he relied most, were the most worthy of listening.

However, just three days before Liu Yuliang reported Zheng Zhilong's complaint letter, Yang Sichang had just gone to Shanxi, and Chongzhen wanted to ask questions, but could not find anyone.

Cao Huachun was stunned and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, it's only been six days since Yang Ge's troops went out to Shanxi. When he told the emperor that he would go to the Shanxi and Shaanxi area and discuss the complete elimination of the bandits with Xiong of the Ministry of War. It would take more than a month."

After Cao Huachun finished speaking carefully, Chongzhen frowned even tighter. After he walked back and forth in the room anxiously several times, he shouted to Cao Huachun: "Quickly draw an order and tell him that Yang Wenruo will return to the capital as soon as possible. I have something to ask him."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Eight days later, Yang Sichang, who received the order, rushed all the way and finally returned to the capital. Then, he immediately went to the palace to meet the emperor.

When he saw Yang Sichang, who was covered in dust and haggard faces, and followed the little eunuch to the Ganqing Palace quickly, Chongzhen felt inexplicable pity.

Since Yang Sichang was arranged as an important official to suppress bandits, he has been dedicated to his work. After more than a year, Yang Sichang has obviously aged much more significantly than when he took office.

Yang Sichang came into the hall and then leaned down and knelt down.

"My minister Yang Sichang bowed to Your Majesty and wished me a long life."

"Yang Aiqing worked hard all the way, quickly level her body and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Sichang stood up and had already brought a small Jindun in a small eunuch, so Yang Sichang sat halfway with a sign.

Chongzhen then handed over Zheng Zhilong's letters and some memorials to Yang Sichang to watch.

Yang Sichang quickly browsed these things and handed them back to the little eunuch standing beside him.

"Yang Aiqing, Zheng Zhilong and the officials in the court impeachment of Li Xiao can be said to be fierce and unstoppable. In Yang Aiqing's opinion, what is the visualization?"

Chongzhen finished speaking in a low voice and looked at Yang Sichang with an expectant look.

A faint bitter smile suddenly appeared on Yang Sichang's face. He stood up and bowed to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong once sent a memorial to Xiong Wencan about Li Xiao, so I have known it. However, in the eyes of the ministers in the court, the attacks and impeachments of Li Xiao are mostly harmful, which is of no benefit. They must severely punish Li Xiao, and your Majesty must not accept it."

Yang Sichang finished slowly in a heavy tone, and Chongzhen's face suddenly became more and more ugly.

"What do you think about Yang Aiqing's four crimes against Li Xiao?" Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Li Xiao's four crimes are mostly dangerous and exaggerated. Although Li Xiao has made mistakes, he is not a flaw, and he can completely overestimate his faults."

"Oh, why did Yang Aiqing think so?"

"Your Majesty, I have a letter of self-report from Li Xiao here, and I beg the emperor to read it."

In the emperor's shocked and suspicious eyes, Yang Sichang took out a folded letter from his arms and presented it with respectfully.

Chongzhen asked anxiously: "Wulnerable, why did Zheng Zhilong's letter arrive at the capital? Li Xiao gave you a letter to him, but why?"

Yang Sichang smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty, Li Xiao has explained in the letter that it was because he heard about Zheng Zhilong's framing of himself from the place where Zheng Zhilong's troops, and then he urgently used a flying pigeon to send a letter to prove his innocence. This letter was sent to Mo Changrong, the subordinate who was suppressing bandits in Shaanxi. He wanted to send it to Xiong Wencan of the Ministry of War. It happened that the minister was inspecting Shanxi and Shaanxi. Mo Changrong directly presented Li Xiaozhi's letter to me, and only then did he understand Li Xiaozhi's words of self-discrimination below."

Chongzhen took the letter from the young eunuch and quickly started watching.

Gradually, a faint smile began to appear on his face, but there were still many doubts on Chongzhen's face.

"Wu Wen, Li Xiao said that the reason why he urgently sent troops to North Korea before he could report was too late. What is Wen Wei's opinion on this?"

"Your Majesty, Li Xiao's words are the same. Zheng Zhilong's memorial said that Li Xiao sent troops to Korea privately to attack Taiwan as a crime of being ruthless and unscrupulous in the court. In my opinion, Li Xiao failed to report these two things to the emperor and the court in time. However, I bluntly said that the war in Korea was so urgent that the King Li Jue had all defeated the army and lost the royal city of Hanyang. He had to survive in the southern Hanshan City. His life was hanging on a line, as if he was exhausted. If Li Xiao had not sent troops in time to rescue North Korea, I was afraid that the current North Korea would have surrendered to the Qing barbarians and completely became a vassal of the Qing barbarians. If this were the case, it would be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty, and was killed by the Qing people! Therefore, I believe that Li Xiao's move was not only unforeseen, but also made great contributions to the country."

When Yang Sichang said this, he looked at Chongzhen and found that Chongzhen's face was slightly slower and nodded invisibly.

"Li Xiao went to Korea this time to protect the most loyal vassal country of our Ming Dynasty. I also rewarded him and appointed him as Chi Fengbo on the same day. It is very favorable. But he did not report to me and the Ministry of War and sent troops to attack Taiwan without authorization. I doubted Li Xiao's explanation." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he sighed lightly.

"Oh, why did the emperor say this?"

"Then Li Xiao said in the letter that he did not report to the court in advance that he sent troops to Taiwan this time because he felt that the trip to Taiwan was far away and he wanted to fight with the Western power Spain and the Netherlands. It was a long and difficult to know the outcome. Therefore, he predicted that if he reported to the court, the court would definitely be extremely suspicious of his sending troops to Taiwan, and thus delayed it for a long time, and even missed the opportunity for the fight. Therefore, he made his own decision and sent troops privately. If he succeeded, he would open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and if he failed, he could take the blame alone. Alas, I felt that Li Xiao's words were very far-fetched, but I didn't know how to view the weak?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Li Xiao's move has many faults, but it is also a helpless move. Thinking back then, when Nurhaci's power had not grown, Liaodong officials felt that they were unfair and reported to the court in private, hoping to conquer this beast early to eliminate future troubles. Unexpectedly, the court did not pay much attention to this matter and delayed it for a long time, so that Nurhaci continued to grow up and finally unified the Jurchen tribes, established the pseudo-jin, and fought against our Ming Dynasty. Li Xiao was a smart and decisive person. He must have considered that many court officials could not do anything, but could have been able to drag their backs down, so that Li Xiao might have been like conquering the pseudo-jin that day, and would have been without a result for several years. In this way, this land of Taiwan would probably become the territory of our Ming Dynasty."

Yang Sichang's words made Chongzhen's face calmer, but then he sighed again.

As the king of a country, Chongzhen was actually very disgusted and disgusted with the style of delaying the Ming Dynasty. However, this style of service has been covered for several generations and has been covered for a long time. Who can be eliminated suddenly? Although Li Xiao had such thoughts, he was not willing to blame him.

"Wulnerable, then I will ask you again. After Li Xiao took over Taiwan, he did not report this to the court. Instead, he secretly concealed it and set up officials privately. I was very dissatisfied with such rebellious behavior. However, Li Xiao said in the letter that it was because Taiwan was settled and people were dissatisfied, and there were frequent turmoils in various places. He decided to set up officials to manage Taiwan first, and wait until the situation was completely stable, and then report to the court. How could Li Xiao's words be so weak? " Chongzhen asked in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice." Chongzhen asked in a low voice in a low voice in a low voice.

Yang Sichang could clearly feel the badness in the emperor's eyes, and he trembled in his heart.

In fact, to be honest, he was also very dissatisfied with Li Xiao for this.

Because, even if Taiwan is in turmoil, Li Xiao should first report to the court and let the court make a decision. His approach is really thankless. It can be said that he is giving someone a handle and sending his braids to get someone to pull them. Li Xiao's approach is really unwise.

So, after a moment of pondering, he gritted his teeth and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Li Xiao has not reported to the court. I am thinking that although Li Xiao is a young general who can fight, he is still very unfamiliar with how to deal with Taiwan's affairs. Now that Li Xiao has explained, I hope the emperor can handle it leniently."

After hearing Yang Sichang's words, Chongzhen smiled on his face and said to Yang Sichang in a deep voice: "If this is the case, then I will not pursue the blame if I think Li Xiao's first offense. As for Li Xiao's smuggling, I have made a decision before, so I will let it go. Li Xiao and Zheng Zhilong's dispute over trade with Japan are more personal grievances. For these, I will make a big deal and will not be investigated."

"The emperor is kind and generous, and he is actually a wise king."

After hearing Chongzhen's words, Yang Sichang's heartstrings, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Weak in culture. A few days ago, the chief assistant Liu Yuliang told me that he wanted me to implement three strategies for Li Xiao, namely, to dispatch military supervision, from the court to Taiwan, and to divide Li Xiao's subordinates to other generals, so as to control and weaken Li Xiao. After hearing this, I was unresolved, but I didn't know if Yang Aiqing agreed?"

Yang Sichang, who had just relaxed, suddenly changed his face after hearing Chongzhen's words.

"Your Majesty, you must not!" Yang Sichang reported urgently: "Li Xiao is a rare good general in the country and is extremely smart. If the emperor uses these three strategies, he will show suspicion, and the consequences will be unpredictable!"

"Hmph, why are you talking like this?! Liu Jilong also said that even though Li Xiao has made contributions to the country, he is also a general of the state. How can other generals of the other divisions send military supervisors? What is the reason?!" Chongzhen's face looked very ugly. He continued angrily: "Besides, the court no longer holds him accountable now, but he just wants officials to re-send to govern Taiwan. Does Li Xiao still have to obstruct him?! As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he did not think about the country and the court, but instead wanted me to do everything to his heart?!"

Yang Sichang felt speechless and ached. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Li Xiao has many difficulties in acting like this. Besides, the state dynasty is using people, how can he treat Li Xiao as an ordinary general? I am afraid that Li Xiao has worked hard to open up the territory without any reward, but he was suspected by the emperor in this way. If Li Xiao is angry and aroused the matter, how should the emperor deal with it!"

"You, you think so." After hearing Yang Sichang's words, Chongzhen suddenly looked panicked. He whispered: "With the weak opinion, how should I treat Li Xiao? How should I treat Li Xiao?"

"Your Majesty, if you follow the opinions of your subordinates, your Majesty will give Li Xiao a great reward to praise him for his achievements in opening up the territory, and then grant Taiwan, like Dengzhou, to govern himself. The court only needs to collect taxes according to the incoming. If the matter of sending a military supervisor, it must not be used. At the same time, Li Xiao needs to be indirectly attacked and let him know his mistakes so that he will not commit any further in the future. In this way, Li Xiao is an extremely smart person. He will definitely be sincerely grateful to the emperor and be vigilant and will not commit such a down-to-earth mistake again."
