The 625 board was raised high and fell gently

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, on the morning of February 5, Lu Xiangsheng also crossed the Yellow River crossing.

When Lu Xiangsheng had just crossed the Yellow River and entered Taojiadian, Lu Xiangsheng and his party were stopped by the cavalry led by Luo Chao.

"Luo Chao, what the hell are you doing? made such a big commotion, what about Li Zixiao? ”

Lu Xiangsheng had seen Luo Chao, and when he saw Luo Chao leading a cavalry to surround them, he asked with a frown.

"It turned out to be Lord Lu, I'm really sorry, my general just woke up last night, and when he learned that Lord Lu was coming, he sent him to greet him."

Luo Chao was polite to Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile.

"Li Zixiao woke up?" After Lu Xiangsheng heard Luo Chao's words, he was also overjoyed and said.

On the way here, Lu Xiangsheng was still worried that this time Li Zixiao was seriously ill and in a coma, would he directly let Qi Wei take over, if that was the case, it would be troublesome.

Now that Lu Xiangsheng heard it, Li Zixiao woke up, and coupled with the news he got before, he knew that the White Dragon Army had stopped attacking the surrounding states and counties.

This let Lu Xiangsheng know that Li Zixiao was not overpowered, and it was obviously Li Zixiao who 'woke up' and stopped Qi Wei from continuing to attack.

"After my general's general woke up, the first thing he did was to stop Qi Wei's attack, what Qi Wei did before was indeed too radical.

However, our army has no intention of rebellion, and I must ask Lord Lu to convey this to the Holy Lord.

Now my general is already waiting for Lord Lu in Kaifeng City, and I ask Lord Lu to come with me. ”

Luo Chao said to Lu Xiangsheng very politely.

"Haha, okay, I haven't seen Li Zixiao for a long time, it's rare that he hasn't avoided me anymore this time, let's go!"

After hearing Luo Chao's words, the stone in Lu Xiangsheng's heart was put down, as long as Li Zixiao did not openly raise the anti-flag, there was still room for redemption.

But by this time, Lu Xiangsheng was actually in his heart, and he already felt that Li Zixiao was seriously ill and in a coma this time, and Qi Wei's 'rebellion' siege in the back was all directed and acted by Li Zixiao.

It's a pity that he has no evidence, and even if he does, he can only pretend not to know.

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that if Li Zixiao was a fake illness this time, the purpose was to take the opportunity to settle in Kaifeng, then I have to say that his plan this time was too successful.

The main thing is that as long as the court doesn't want to force Li Zixiao, then it can only pinch its nose and admit it, and the fake is also true.

As for the territories that were swallowed by Li Zixiao now, do you still expect him to spit them out?

Have you seen it over the years, but where Li Zixiao occupies the territory, has he ever taken the initiative to spit it out?

This guy is a Pixiu, he only eats and doesn't vomit.

Fortunately, although Li Zixiao has become more and more restless over the years, he has not been too presumptuous, and the territory he has encroached on is limited, and he has not reached the level of being unscrupulous and attacking everywhere.

"The situation is erosive, and I can't suppress all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!" Lu Xiangsheng sighed secretly in his heart.

Now, Lu Xiangsheng's only hope is that Li Zixiao's farewell this time is too ugly.

went to Kaifeng City, on the one hand, Lu Xiangsheng obtained Li Zixiao's reassurance, and he was still loyal to Daming, even if Li Zixiao was not sincere.

On the other hand, he also hopes to get some compensation from Li Zixiao.

After all, Kaifeng City is occupied by you, and you don't expect to spit it out, so you have to come up with some compensation to the court and the emperor.

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, handing over Henan to Li Zixiao at this time has drawbacks, but it also has benefits.

At that time, the imperial court can completely push all the problems of helping the victims of the disaster in Henan onto his head Li Zixiao and reduce the pressure on the imperial court.

This is also what Chongzhen secretly said to him before Lu Xiangsheng left the capital.

Chongzhen wanted to reduce the burden on the imperial court, and at the same time get fresh blood from Li Zixiao to buy more time for the Ming Dynasty.

Even, at this time, Chongzhen had a super bold idea in his heart.

That is, simply hand over Shaanxi, as well as the western part of Henan, to Li Zixiao, and let him go to fight Li Zicheng's endless bandits.

Anyway, the land of Daming is so big, and now Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang are like festering wounds on Daming's body, and keeping them can only drag down the imperial court.

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and this time he explained to Lu Xiangsheng, preparing to let Lu Xiangsheng facilitate this matter.

It's just that Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but shake his head after listening to Chongzhen's idea, he didn't think that Chongzhen's idea could be realized.

Based on Lu Xiangsheng's understanding of Li Zixiao, this guy is a thief and a thief, and he has never seen him make a loss.

At this time, unless Li Zixiao's brain is in water, he will never accept this.

Thundered!

Luo Chao escorted Lu Xiangsheng, and soon arrived at Kaifeng City from the Yellow River ferry, and at this time, outside Kaifeng City, there was also a group of people welcoming Lu Xiangsheng.

"Lord Lu, the general is unwell and cannot come out to greet him, so I specially let the lowly post come to greet him.

The general has already prepared food and wine in the palace, just waiting for Lord Lu's arrival, Lord Lu, please. ”

With a smile, Han Tong was responsible for greeting Lu Xiangsheng at the gate of the city, and this time Li Zixiao put on a very grand welcome ceremony, obviously giving Lu Xiangsheng enough face.

Seeing Li Zixiao send wave after wave to greet him, this made Lu Xiangsheng's heart more relaxed, and he also understood what Li Zixiao meant.

Li Zixiao was indirectly relieving him of goodness, so that Lu Xiangsheng was no longer as nervous about this trip to Kaifeng as before.

Soon, Lu Xiangsheng entered the Kaifeng City Mansion, and all the generals of the White Dragon Army were here, and Lu Xiangsheng also saw Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng.

Both of them are not good-looking, and they have lost a lot of weight, and it is obvious that they have not had a good time in Kaifeng during this time.

This is not to say that Li Zixiao abused the two of them, Li Zixiao disdained to do such things.

On the contrary, Li Zixiao just ordered the two of them to be placed under house arrest, and they were served with good wine and meat every day, but unfortunately at that time, they were faced with a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they couldn't eat it!

Mainly, Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng were frightened when they learned that Qi Wei had killed Chen Yongfu and even killed his entire family.

They are worried that Qi Wei will also kill them, they are worried all day long, they can't eat well, and it's no wonder if they don't lose weight!

"Master Lu, you can be regarded as here."

When Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng saw Lu Xiangsheng, it was called an excitement! Walked up and shouted cordially.

As a result, Lu Xiangsheng was also taken aback by the cordial appearance of the two.

He remembered that he didn't know Ding Qirui very well, why was his eyes so excited now, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but tighten his legs.

"Ahem, Lord Lu, Li is unwell, so he won't greet adults. The intention of the adult, Li should also be able to guess, but the incident has already happened.

Moreover, although Qi Wei was reckless, he was also thinking about the general, and this time he led his troops to attack Kaifeng and other places without authorization, which was a complete misunderstanding.

Ahem, the general will definitely punish him heavily, and I also ask Lord Lu to be extra gracious and forgive Qi Wei, so that he can make meritorious contributions in the future. ”

At this time, Li Zixiao, who was sitting in the first seat, said in a deep voice to Lu Xiangsheng, and coughed from time to time during the conversation, and needed to pause.

With Li Zixiao's opening, Lu Xiangsheng finally saw Li Zixiao on the first seat, Li Zixiao's face was pale at this time, but according to his neat clothes, he sat in the first place.

Li Zixiao's words to Lu Xiangsheng can be regarded as straight to the point.

clearly told Lu Xiangsheng that this time because he was seriously ill and in a coma, Qi Wei took matters into his own hands and attacked Kaifeng, and he did not know about it.

But Li Zixiao felt that Qi Wei's matter was right, after all, my subordinates were here to save me, so it was impossible for me to punish Qi Wei, and I also hoped that the court would forgive Qi Wei.

Glancing at Li Zixiao, Lu Xiangsheng immediately sat down in a seat next to him, and then said, "Since General Li said so, this official has already guessed it."

Before coming to Kaifeng, the official told the saint that this matter was definitely a misunderstanding, and General Li had assured the official that there would be no rebellion.

Now that General Li has also clarified, it would be great, but Qi Wei attacked Kaifeng without authorization, killed my Ming soldiers, and even killed the chief soldier Chen Yongfu.

The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, General Li, you should know it in your heart. ”

In Lu Xiangsheng's words, it can be regarded as a hint that the saint does not want to pursue them in this matter, and Qi Wei can also avoid death, but he must be punished, otherwise it is too much to say.

"Ahem, yes, what Lord Lu said is right, if you want to be punished, you must be punished."

Li Zixiao pretended to cough, opened his mouth and said, and then said to the quartz next to him: "Go, bring Qi Wei up." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, two white dragon sergeants escorted Qi Wei up, and Qi Wei was handcuffed by iron chains at this time, looking like a prisoner under the stairs.

"Qi Wei, without the consent of the general, you used your troops to attack Kaifeng, causing deaths and injuries to many of your colleagues, including General Chen.

But now the Holy Lord and Lord Lu, remembering that you have made meritorious contributions to the court and exempted you from capital crimes, but you cannot escape the crime of living, and you are now fined fifty military sticks and three years, and you can be convinced. ”

Li Zixiao's face was solemn, and he shouted at Qi Wei, who was locked below.

"The subordinates are guilty and willing to be punished!" Qi Wei said expressionlessly.

"Okay, come on, drag it down and execute it!" Li Zixiao waved his hand and said.

Then, Qi Wei was taken down by the two White Dragon sergeants and went to the courtyard outside to accept the punishment of fifty military sticks.

In front of Li Zixiao's punishment, Lu Xiangsheng was drinking tea with peace of mind, and he didn't show the slightest disagreement, obviously acquiescing to Li Zixiao's punishment.

This suddenly made Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng next to him feel cold, Qi Wei committed such a big crime, attacking Kaifeng and more than ten surrounding prefectures and counties.

He also killed the chief soldier Chen Yongfu, dozens of Ming Dynasty officials, but they just got such a dispensable and understated punishment, this is simply a joke!

At the same time, Ding Qirui and Gao Mingheng also understood that this was Shengshang and Lu Xiangsheng compromising with Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao made it clear just now that he wanted to protect Qi Wei from death, in this case, Lu Xiangsheng could only promise Li Zixiao, in exchange for Li Zixiao to continue to keep his promise and never rebel.

And Li Zixiao also understood this, so he dared to do this, and the punishment of Qi Wei was like a board raised high, but in the end it fell gently.

Bang bang bang!

"One, two, three, four......"

Soon, in the courtyard outside, there was a dull sound, as well as the shouts of the White Dragon Army's law enforcement team, obviously they were sticking Qi Wei to death.

"General Qi, this has been beaten more than a dozen times, you can scream twice, otherwise someone will find out that we are fake."

At this time, a white dragon sergeant approached Qi Wei, who was lying on the table, and whispered to him.

"Damn, if you really fight, then Lao Tzu will shout, and it will be comfortable, now you are beating like this, Lao Tzu doesn't hurt at all, shout a hair!"

As a result, Qi Wei said with a depressed face.

At this time, I saw two strong soldiers from the Military Justice Department of the White Dragon Army, holding wooden sticks high, hitting Qi Wei's back hard, so tired that they were sweating.

However, Qi Wei in front didn't seem to react much, and he didn't even shout, because on his back, a large ball of cotton pads had just been stuffed into by the White Dragon Sergeant.

This military stick hit Qi Wei, he didn't feel much pain at all, let him moan without illness, and shout if it didn't hurt, he really couldn't shout.

"There are still about 20 sticks left, you really beat Lao Tzu, otherwise after beating Lao Tzu, there will be no injuries at all, which will make people suspicious. Come on, let's fight! ”

Immediately, Qi Wei stretched out his hand, pulled out the cotton pad behind him, and said to the two White Dragon Army military law officers behind him.

"Then, General Qi, are we really fighting?"

"What nonsense, let you really fight, just hurry up." Qi Wei said impatiently.

'Bang bang bang!

"Ahhh

Soon, Qi Wei's screams finally came and reached the ears of Li Zixiao and the others in the lobby.

Li Zixiao heard Qi Wei's screams, his face remained unchanged, but he was obedient in his heart, and said in his heart: Your Qi Wei is a good hand at acting.

Lao Tzu didn't let the soldiers really beat you, you screamed so badly, you really have the potential to be an actor!

"General Li, the matter of Qi Wei's rebellion has been revealed, and I hope you must strictly control your subordinates in the future, and such a thing must not happen a second time."

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Zixiao again and spoke.

"Ahh After hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, Li Zixiao was also shocked, and he didn't react for a while, and exclaimed.

But then he reacted and immediately responded: "Yes, I will remember Lord Lu's instructions.

In the future, his subordinates must be more strictly restrained, and such a thing will never happen, otherwise he will personally go to the capital to ask the saint for his guilt. ”

The reason why Li Zixiao exclaimed in surprise was that he never thought that this matter would be over like this? Lu Xiangsheng didn't even mention the matter of letting the White Dragon Army withdraw from Kaifeng.

Originally, before Lu Xiangsheng arrived, Li Zixiao racked his brains for two days, and after Lu Xiangsheng came, what reason should he find to delay and let the White Dragon Army continue to stay in Kaifeng.

But now, Lu Xiangsheng didn't seem to have the intention of letting the White Dragon Army leave Kaifeng, which shocked Li Zixiao and was also puzzled.

On the contrary, Ding Qirui, the secretary of the military department who was sitting on the side at this time, couldn't help but stand up anymore.

Ding Qirui looked at Lu Xiangsheng and asked dissatisfiedly: "Lord Lu, I don't know if the Holy Lord let General Li's men and horses continue to stay in Kaifeng City, and ask Lord Lu to make it clear?" ”
