After listening to Huang Degong's words, Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, was silent and did not speak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If Li Zhi was ready to attack the capital, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to destroy the 10,000 Beijing battalion. Under the pursuit of tens of thousands of cavalry, it is estimated that half of the 10,000 Beijing battalions killed at the foot of the capital. There are only 80,000 Beijing battalions in the capital, and there are 5,000 people less, so it will be much easier to attack the capital at that time.

But Li Zhi didn't chase and kill, Li Zhi really didn't mean to attack the capital?

Zhu Youzhen stood in front of the throne, frowning and silent.

He was hesitating there, but he saw a three eunuchs running in from outside the hall, ran to the middle of the hall in a panic and knelt down, and sang: "Holy Lord, Li Zhi, the Duke of Jinguo, sent someone from Tongzhou to send a letter of concert!" ”

Li Zhi came to speak after beating Jingying? What does Li Zhi want to say?

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly shouted: "Read! ”

The eunuch opened Li Zhi's recital in a panic and read aloud:

"Li Zhi, the prince of Jin, sat in Tianjin on the order of the Son of Heaven, and fought in the south and north for eight years, only thinking about serving the country. On December 29, the minister received the order to aid Jin, and led the nine general soldiers of 170,000 soldiers to fight a bloody battle on the bank of the Daling River on the Hutou Dam. Its battle was extremely dangerous, and Ma Ke and Wang Pu's soldiers and horses attacked the Dongnu fire guns, and they were defeated six times in a row. The front of the Chenhu Ben division was broken into by the Dongnu cavalry, and the front formation was greatly routed, and the rear formation was connected. However, 170,000 soldiers sang war songs, fought bloody battles with the heart of ten thousand deaths, and fought bloodily to save the country, and finally won a great victory. ”

"170,000 soldiers suffered heavy losses. Saying that the blood is flowing and drifting cannot be described as the tragedy of the border army. ”

However, after the bloody battle of 170,000 soldiers, I realized that this war was all murdered by traitors in the DPRK and China. The Battle of Jinzhou could have been won without a fight. The lives of thousands of soldiers killed in battle have become victims of traitorous officials playing with power. 170,000 people who were loyal to the country suffered such grievances, and they could not help but be angry and ask for their lives. ”

"If the first battle of Jinzhou is defeated because of the conspiracy of traitors, where will I go? If you don't kill all the traitors involved in the case of hiding silver in Taifu Temple, there will be no more right and wrong in the world, and the world will no longer be able to survive. If you don't kill all the traitors, the horses are cold, the blood of the strong men is cold, and there are no more loyal people in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Please the Son of Heaven to kill and set the record straight. Wu Fu, the head of the cabinet, the culprit of this case, can be punished by the nine clans. Chen Jishan, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, hid the silver salary, and the head of the household department Li Zhiwen lied that there was no silver, and the three clans could be punished. He Shishou, the secretary of the ministry, participated in the planning, contacted many parties, and could kill one family. In addition, there are six household servants, two Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, a total of 33 people, who do not report if they know about it, and cooperate with the mastermind to deceive the king, they can all be killed! ”

"If these thirty-seven people and the relatives of the first offender can be eliminated according to the law, then the law of the country will be large, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven will be known everywhere. The 160,000 loyal soldiers are grateful for the grace of heaven and will quit Beijing and return to their hometowns. ”

It turned out that Li Zhi's recital was here to kill people.

One kill is thirty-seven people, that is, nine tribes, three tribes.

Hearing Li Zhi's murderous recital, all the officials turned white. This Li Zhi is too ruthless, kill them all. Wu Fu wants to punish the nine clans? Chen Jishan and Li Zhiwen want to kill the three clans? The officials of the household department and the Taifu Temple who did not report it were all killed? This time, it is to kill the household and the Taifu Temple.

He Shishou shook his body tremblingly, lost his balance all of a sudden, and sat in the hall, unable to stand up.

The two Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven in a panic. When a tobe squire with poor psychological tolerance heard this recital, his eyes rolled and he fainted in the court. Several colleagues hurriedly pinched him for him, but they couldn't wake him up no matter what.

On the Imperial Palace, it suddenly became a mess.

Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, reluctantly sat back on the throne. Li Zhi is going to kill more people this time than in the previous one.

This is no longer a killing, this is a great purge of the courtiers. Killing people like this, where is the prestige of the court? If he killed people according to Li Zhi's recital, the civil officials in the court would not agree to it under any circumstances.

But if you don't kill people according to Li Zhi's recital, what will happen to the 160,000 border troops? Can the lofty walls of the capital stop the indignant 160,000 border troops?

If Li Zhi's cannon demolished the city wall before killing people, would Li Zhi make a longer list of killings?

Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale, looking at the ministers in the court, speechless.

Gradually, the courtiers recovered from their brief chaos. Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, shouted loudly: "Holy Lord, Li Zhi's wolf ambition is not small. If the saint kills people according to his chapter, the people of the world only know Li Zhi, and they don't know that there is a monarch in the world! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Liu Zongzhou and did not speak.

Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, was so excited that his face was full of blood, and he stood up with a tooth card in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Zheng Sanjun, the minister, is willing to go to the city wall and lead 80,000 Beijing battalions to fight to the death with Li Thief!" ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't look at Zheng Sanjun, and closed his eyes helplessly.

Dozens of civil officials were unwilling to be silent, and collectively stood up and sang loudly:

"The Li thief is rampant, and the Son of Heaven must not be threatened!"

"The Son of Heaven defends the capital and orders the soldiers and horses of the world to be the king!"

"I'm waiting to fight with Li Thief!"

The court was disturbed for a while, and everything was said, in short, the courtiers could not be slaughtered according to Li Zhi's request.

After a while, the officials saw that the Son of Heaven never spoke, and gradually quieted down.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out of the ranks and sang loudly: "The saint doesn't have to worry too much, the minister Zhou Yanru thinks that Li Zhi will not attack the capital." There are three can'ts! ”

Zhu Youzhen cheered up a little when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "You say." ”

"The first cannot be reversed, it is Li Zhi who is the enemy of the gentry in the world. The Holy Lord relied on him to seek to give him a knighthood and official position, and the world was in awe of the high lord given to Li Zhi by the Holy Lord, so he forbears and cooperates with him in every possible way. If Li Zhi invades the capital, I am afraid that the gentry of the world will raise their banners against him. ”

"Li Zhi collected taxes from the gentry, how many people went bankrupt? Where in the world can tolerate the thief Li Zhi controlling the imperial court? When the time comes, millions of gentry and private armies in the world will raise their banners and advocate righteousness, Li Zhi will be embattled, and 20,000 tiger soldiers will not be able to resist even if they are divine generals! ”

Zhu Youzhen sat upright on the throne and thought about Zhou Yanru's words.

Zhou Yanru said again: "The second can't be Li Zhi's industry. Li Zhi used industry to raise the army, and his industry was to be marketed all over the world, relying on the cooperation of people all over the world. ”

"If Li Zhi dares to enter the capital, he will be beaten as a thief by the world. At that time, there is no need for people to call on them, and the north and south of the country will abandon the commercial goods of anti-thieves. In less than three months, Li Zhi will be financially exhausted, what will he use to raise soldiers? What to fight against the crusade of the people of the world? ”

What Zhou Yanru said makes some sense. Zhu Youzhen cheered up and thought seriously.

"The third can't be Li Zhi's Tianjin people's heart."

"Li Zhi was in Tianjin, and he was managed as a loyal minister of the imperial court. What Li Zhi advertised in the newspaper was how Daming was and how to save Daming. What the people of Tianjin recognize is still the Ming Dynasty. If Li Zhi changed his course and invaded the capital in one day, and was beaten as a thief by the people of the world, how could the people of Tianjin still believe in the future depicted by Li Zhi? Where do you dare to follow Li Zhi, who has changed his order? How can the officials that Li Zhi painstakingly cultivated still believe in the "public morality" propagated by Li Zhi? Don't you rush to be corrupt one by one? At that time, I am afraid that it will be inferior to the average court official. ”

"I'm afraid that if we don't wait for the people of the world to crusade, Tianjin will be in chaos. Within a year, Li Zhi's foundation in Tianjin will completely collapse. ”

Listening to Zhou Yanru's reasonable words, Zhu Youzhen stroked his long beard and did not speak.
