Chapter 905: Shocking Thunder, Thousands of Miles of Blood Now Waves (2)

In the spring of the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Jinan, Shandong was captured by Dorgon, and King De Zhu Youshu was captured by Jiannu. In this battle, Dorgon led the main force of the Qing Dynasty to 40 cities, plundering 1.6 million people, 2.6 million stones of various food, and over 5 million taels of gold and silver. As Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pool Army, expected, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, was taken down by Emperor Chongzhen and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. The Ming court charged Lu Xiangsheng with the charge of leading the army to defeat in cowardly. Originally, Gao Qiqian wanted to put the responsibility for defeat in Jize to Lu Xiangsheng, but the newspapers of the Ministry of War clearly pointed out that after the Tianxiong Camp led by Lu Xiangsheng was besieged in Jiazhuang, Gao Qiqian, fifty miles away, not only failed to rescue, but was defeated by Jiannu seven days later.

The most important thing is that after these articles were reported to the court, Mao Yujian, a member of the Ponuhou, impeached Gao Qiqian and held troops without forwarding fearing the enemy as if they were tigers. Gao Qiqian had already pulled his shit and didn't wipe his butt. The words mean that Gao Qiqian would also want Jize to be defeated and put the shit basin on Lu Xiangsheng's head. Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian and Minister of War Yang Sichang were also afraid that this would be a bad end. Lu Xiangsheng was a clean and upright person. It was not that easy to kill Lu Xiangsheng. This is also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng only had one conviction for fear of fighting. Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to use Lu Xiangsheng as a scapegoat, but he did not expect that King Pode of Jinan was captured. Lu Xiangsheng did not supervise Liaodong. Tianxiong Camp was defeated last winter. The crime of the fall of Jinan prince was not as good as Lu Xiangsheng's head.

Faced with the destruction of such a destruction of the relatives, Emperor Chongzhen, who was very good at face, now had to face the embarrassing situation of issuing another self-criticism. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian's jealousy of Lu Xiangsheng deepened a little. In Zhu Youjian's view, it was Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, who deliberately indulged Jiannu invading the Ming Dynasty that caused such a crisis today. Especially the Tianxiong Camp was rescued by a Destruction Army, which made Zhu Youjian even more angry. What Emperor Chongzhen even more unacceptable was that after the Ponu Army who rescued the Tianxiong Camp escorted Lu Xiangsheng back to the capital, he stayed in Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen and refused to leave. The Ming Dynasty War Department's Office sent personnel to ask about the reason why the Ponu Army was stationed here. They took out the imperial edict and made the Ministry of War question the officials who asked the Ministry of War to death.

After restless Pou Nu Army rested for more than ten days, it actually rushed to the Huangqiu station of Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou. There were only more than 4,000 people when they went there, but tens of thousands when they came back. What made Emperor Chongzhen most angry was that the Pou Nu Army plundered Jiannu and beat the Tianxiong Camp. They rescued the people and intercepted a large amount of gold and silver. The Pou Nu Army used the Tianxiong Camp's banner to attack Jiannu, which further highlighted the incompetence of other Ming army troops. More than 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Gao Qiqian is still missing, and rumors spread among the people that the emperor appointed eunuchs to persecute loyal people. Emperor Chongzhen counted all these right and wrong on Lu Xiangsheng. The eunuch who was well versed in the emperor's mind, Gao Qiqian, who was well aware of the emperor's thoughts, proposed Lu Xiangsheng from the Ministry of Justice through the eunuchs of the inner court and handed over to the Jinyiwei North Fushi Office for detention.

When the commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing, learned that Gao Qiqian had taken Lu Xiangsheng to the Jinyiwei, almost fainted. Lu Xiangsheng, a sensitive figure, had no time to hide, and Gao Qiqian's eggless thing actually sent this hot carbon ball to his hands. What made Luo Yangxing most difficult was that he couldn't figure out whether Gao Qiqian's personal idea was Gao Qiqian's personal idea or Emperor Chongzhen's instruction. He knew that Emperor Chongzhen's cold and frivolous personality, and he didn't even have the courage to ask the emperor, let alone he dared to stop this matter. Luo Yangxing knew that once Lu Xiangsheng entered the Jinyiwei Zhaojue, the troubles of the Jinyiwei would follow.

Luo Yangxing's speculation was quickly confirmed. Luo Yangxing, who had just returned home, received a reply letter. Luo Yangxing, who was in a irritable mood, threw the reply letter on the ground without looking at it. Luo Yangxing, who had just thrown the reply letter on the ground, accidentally saw the big words Ponuhou on the letter on the ground, which immediately scared Luo Yangxing so much that he left his body. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew that offending the emperor might not be beheaded. If he offended the guy who had no bottom line in doing things, the whole family would be in trouble. Luo Yangxing picked up the reply letter and looked at the cover, and wrote to him that the Ponuhou Mansion was in charge of Qu Guozheng. After reading it, Luo Yangxing scolded Gao Qiqian's ancestors for eight generations. The two major yamen in the Ponu Army were not easy to deal with. If Zhang Ping'an was the living king of hell, Qu Guozheng was his judge.

Qu Guozheng was much more famous than Xu Yian during the Ming Dynasty. The Jinyiwei also received news that Xu Yian rarely returned to Ponu City since the Tianqian entered the Ming Dynasty. The detailed leader of Ponu Hou has always been this Qu Guozheng. This person can be said to be Zhang Ping'an's most iron-hard confidant. Luo Yangxing, who dared not neglect, asked the gatekeeper to invite Qu Guozheng to enter the study room to tell. At this moment, a lieutenant came to report that Gao Qiqian went to the imperial prison to interrogate Lu Xiangsheng. What kind of guy Gao Qiqian was, can't know. He came to the Jinyiwei to interrogate Lu Xiangsheng to interrogate Lu Xiangsheng, which was nothing more than opening a gap from Lu Xiangsheng to find evidence that was beneficial to him for his defeat. This evidence was Lu Xiangsheng's personal confession and his signature and seal.

Luo Yangxing, who has been tortured by prisoners for many years, must have prepared everything long ago. He just waited for the Jinyiwei to knock Lu Xiangsheng out, and then directly pressed Lu Xiangsheng's handprint on his confession. Luo Yangxing was even more clear that Ponuhou's shameless thing is far more terrifying than Gao Qiqian. If Zhang Ping'an did not take action, Gao Qiqian might have a chance. Once Zhang Ping'an reached out to take care of Lu Xiangsheng, the first thing that was unlucky would be Gao Qiqian. Then, Luo Yangxing asked the captain who reported the message to the Beizhenfusi. Without the note of him as the commander, no one was allowed to torture Lu Xiangsheng. Luo Yangxing had a good guess, and Gao Qiqian hurried to the imperial prison to interrogate Lu Xiangsheng in order to find a scapegoat for his defeat.

Gao Qiqian knew the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen very well. Emperor Zhu Youjian had already shown signs of killing Lu Xiangsheng. He, an emperor's slave, could not only help the emperor fulfill his wishes, but also find a sinner for his defeat in Jize. How could Gao Qiqian miss this great opportunity? The interrogation of Lu Xiang Gao Qiqian was given a note approved by the Silijian. In theory, this note did not comply with the rules, but the Silijian in the inner court was said to be the first yamen of the twelve prisons in the inner court, and the Jinyiwei did not dare to take the lead. According to the rules of the Jinyiwei, Yang Tingjian, a household in charge of torture, must listen here, and the Jinyiwei clerk was responsible for the record. Gao Qiqian had to do shameful business, how could he tolerate outsiders to peep here?

Gao Qiqian, who was sitting in the presiding position, took advantage of the time waiting for the prisoner to wait for the prisoner to wave to Yang Tingjian, the Jinyiwei who was staying in the torture room, and said impatiently: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to interrogate the criminal Lu Xiangsheng. Yang Baihu will go down to work on your affairs in the secrets of the internal court!"

But Yang Tingjian replied with a smile: "Please give a clarity to the Lord Gao. You asked the Lord to avoid the Lord An's disobedience. The Lord just wanted to ask, is there any intention of the Emperor's oral order not to allow the Jinyiwei to listen to the emperor?"

Gao Qiqian was shocked when he heard Yang Tingjian's rebellious question. He just used the emperor's oral order to make Yang Tingjian avoid it, but in fact he was also scaring the small officials of the Jinyiwei households. Even if the emperor really had an idea, he would not give an explicit order, let alone Gao Qiqian just used the imperial edict as a shield. If he continued to speak, he said that the emperor did not allow the Jinyiwei to listen, then once the Jinyiwei wrote the original words Gao Qiqian said today, a charge of correcting the imperial edict was enough to cause Gao Qiqian to destroy the three tribes. Gao Qiqian did not have the ability to cover the world with Wei Zhongxian, so he took the position recently. Gao Qiqian wanted to take the position but was snatched by Wang Chengen.

Gao Qiqian, who is no longer a newcomer in the officialdom, also heard another meaning from Yang Tingjian's words. Yang Tingjian did not use the commander of the Jinyiwei as a shield, which means that this person openly confronted the inner court, which was not the commander of the inner court. Thinking of this, Gao Qiqian stabbed Yang Tingjian with a sinister look. He saw that the Jinyiwei Tingjian's short and round face was very lively, and a flattering smile made people easily read four words: I am a villain! In the officialdom, such villains are the best and the most difficult to deal with. At this moment, three Jinyiwei lieutenants walked in with Lu Xiangsheng in white robe.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's hair was not messy and his clothes were neat, Gao Qiqian expressed his dissatisfaction again in the voice of a male duck: "Oh! Our family is so open-minded. This criminal was not required to wear torture instruments when he was interrogated by the Jinyiwei!"

"Reply to Eunuch Gao's words, Lord Lu is just waiting for the crime of officials. According to the Ming Dynasty, officials who have not been convicted of the crime, they should not wear torture instruments to retain their decentness. This rule was passed down by the late emperor Wuzong."

Gao Qiqian is really eye-opening now. There is no such thing in the Ming Dynasty. It was just that when Wuzong was merciful, he issued an imperial edict to a specific official. A small Jinyiwei test Baihu repeatedly contradicted him, a fifth-rank eunuch in the inner court. It can only be said that Yang Tingjian was instructed by others. However, Gao Qiqian could not get angry in front of so many people. If he couldn't calm down, he wouldn't even be able to smell the fart. Gao Qiqian, who suppressed his inner evil fire, took out fifty taels of silver ingots from his arms and asked the eunuchs beside him to give to Yang Tingjian: "Yang Baihu, please avoid it first, have a sip of tea with your brothers. We have to ask Governor Lu for some confidential matters in our family. After our family asks, we will naturally let you listen."

Gao Qiqian's concession did not win Yang Tingjian's favor. He looked at the fifty taels of silver and felt despised. The man Ponu Hou sent someone to visit my house, and he had 500 taels of gold at one time. This was still half the deposit in advance, but Paul Xiangsheng did not suffer in the imperial prison. Today, Yang Tingjian bravely fought against the eunuchs, Gao Qiqian, and so many people saw that Ponu Hou didn't give him more than a few taels of gold at night. With so much gold, even if Yang Tingjian dismissed from office, it would be enough for the family to live for several lifetimes. Who would still care about your fifty taels of silver? In addition, the person sent by Ponu Hou had an explanation, just be against Gao Qiqian.
