Gao Yingxiang sneered a few times when he heard this, Chongzhen heard the sarcasm in the laughter, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? ”

Gao Yingxiang said sarcastically: "The old farmers in northern Shaanxi know the truth, but you are not as good as the old peasants as the king of a country." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Farmers farm the land, not because you will have more harvest because you are industrious, but also depend on whether the land is fertile, God will not give you food. If it is barren and unruly land, drought and no rain, no matter how hard you try, it is useless. Do you think that to be a good emperor, diligence alone is enough? If you are a good emperor, why are there so many people in the world who have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and live in other places, inserting labels and selling their heads? ”

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head, thoughtful.

Wen Tiren stood in the crowd of hundreds of officials, ranked high, and could hear Gao Yingxiang's words clearly, and hurriedly interrupted him when he heard the words, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the time for the prisoner gift must not be delayed, please move to the noon gate immediately, don't listen to the nonsense of this thief, it is better to close his mouth." ”

Chongzhen shook his head, "It doesn't need to be like this, what he said is not unreasonable." Governing the country is like plowing the fields, you have to fight with the earth, and you have to fight with the sky, how can I rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty with just one person......"

Although it was not explicitly stated that everyone present was garbage, all the officials heard the sound of the strings, knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "The ministers are incompetent, and the crime deserves death!" ”

"Let's all be even......," Chongzhen said excitedly, "don't miss the time to sacrifice the prisoners." ”

The last stop of the prisoner ceremony was at the noon gate, and according to the pre-established process, the minister read the good news in public before disposing of the "enemy chieftain". Although Chongzhen didn't treat Zhang Fengyi, who had no unique views on military affairs and was always sluggish when summoned, there was no better candidate, so he could only hand it over. For this reason, Chongzhen seemed careless about this link, and he was not very interested in the lengthy preparation process before the reading of the good news, and looked around boredly.

Suddenly, at the end of the crowd of hundreds of officials who participated in the prisoner ceremony, he saw an iron tower-like general, his face was very raw, and he saw that the service was not of high grade, and he was interested and called Wang Chengen to ask.

"How did this tower-like military attache come in, judging by his low grade, it stands to reason that he is not qualified to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony."

Wang Chengen hurriedly said, "The slave maid went and asked." "Turn around and go down to inquire.

After a while, he returned to report: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, this person is the general who escorted the thief Gao Yingxiang into Beijing, and he is a thousand generals in Qionghai Town, and Gao Yingxiang was captured by him himself." ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up: "Oh? It turned out to be a loyal minister who captured the thief. When this is the case, you arrange for him to come to me. ”

This episode did not affect the progress of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and after Zhang Fengyi read out the good news, Gao Yingxiang was escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market and tortured by Ling Chi.

Although it was extremely bloody, it couldn't stop the people's strong interest in watching, and the execution ground was crowded with people watching the excitement early. Gao Yingxiang is also tough, he was cut alive 1560 knives before he died of blood, and the leader of the Wandering People's Army died in the capital in the most tragic way and disappeared in the long river of history.

Huang Mengjia didn't go to watch the torture invented by the Han people, he had done it with his own hands no matter how brutal the killing was on the battlefield, but he was not used to torturing captives who were completely unable to resist, in his opinion it was a coward's behavior. He didn't know what he was targeting and planning to summon by Chongzhen, and after patiently participating in the lengthy sacrifice ceremony, he felt that he had let go of his heavy burden, and decided not to participate in this kind of ceremony in the future. Just as he was about to pack up and return with his subordinates, several eunuchs found him under the escort of the palace guards, saying that someone wanted to see him.

Huang Mengjia didn't know what the eunuch's visit meant, and thought that it was a big official or prince who wanted to see him, so he wanted to refuse, but when he thought that this capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and any person on the street was bigger than his own official, and it was a small matter for him to get into trouble, and it would be difficult to explain the trouble to his own general, so he followed the eunuch's instructions without bringing a single subordinate.

The eunuch took him to the Xuanwu Gate, which is also the daily access control in the palace. Huang Mengjia only went to the noon gate when he was offering prisoners, thinking that the palace was just this gate, but now he saw the same majestic Xuanwu Gate, thinking that this was the mansion of a great official, and muttered in his heart, this mansion is too magnificent, and he is about to catch up with the emperor.

Passing through the palace, a group of people came to the imperial garden, at this time Huang Mengjia was almost dizzy, suddenly came to a garden, saw the strange stone in the garden, the beautiful trees are verdant, its ancient cypress vines, are hundreds of years old, the garden is full of interest, envy, I think this Han official will enjoy, here is simply a fairy-like day! I thought that the general's South Park was the best place, but I didn't expect that there was a sky outside the sky, and I don't know how many grades higher it was than South Park.

Rounding around a gazebo, the little eunuch no longer led the way, but let him enter the pavilion by himself.

Huang Mengjia was confused, and when he entered the pavilion, he saw that there were already two people inside. One sat on a stone bench, looking to be in his twenties, wearing a bright yellow crane, not very old, but with a lot of gray hair on the top of his head, and his face was also very pale, as if he had been overworked all year round; The other was of a similar age, and he looked dressed like the little eunuch who led him into the palace, standing on one side and not sitting.

The man sitting asked him, "Are you Huang Mengjia, the thousand president of Qionghai Town?" ”

Huang Mengjia was accustomed to the title of special operations captain, and when he heard that he was a little unaccustomed to the position of President Qian, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to be hung with the title of President Qian, which was used to deal with the imperial court, so he nodded.

Naturally, it was Chongzhen who asked, he looked at Huang Mengjia's physique, and exclaimed: "Only such a god-like person can capture a giant like Gao Yingxiang!" ”

Wang Chengen also said: "I have seen a lot of military generals, but it is the first time I have seen such a strong and brave man in his life." He saw that Huang Mengjia was stunned and didn't know how to reply, so he reminded, "Mr. Huang Qian, don't tell the emperor about your capture of Gao Yingxiang." ”

Huang Mengjia didn't know that the opposite was sitting opposite the Ming Emperor, and the "Emperor" was heard by him as "Huang Ye", thinking that he was a prince who was idle and wanted to listen to the story, so he replied: "It turns out that this Huang Ye and I are from our own family, if I don't feel bored, I will talk about how I caught Gao Yingxiang." ”

Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen in surprise, not knowing which link went wrong, maybe the chamberlain who brought him into the palace did not make it clear, resulting in this person entering the palace not knowing who was sitting in front of him. However, Chongzhen's life in the deep palace was boring and boring, and he had never encountered such a coincidence, so he found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Chengen was anxious, and hurriedly reminded: "Rude! Do you know who this is? ”
