Chapter 313: Martial Fear

(Recommended reading: "Brother-in-law, you have to go to the book to avenge Mao Shuai's grievances." The little fat man who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, this time he really had a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox. When he got the news that Yuan Chonghuan had killed Mao Wenlong, he left everything behind, rushed to Lu Hanqiang's hall as soon as possible, grabbed Lu Hanqiang's desk with both hands, shook it violently, probed his sweaty face, stared at Lu Hanqiang tightly, and said his request. In his opinion, the culprit Yuan Chonghuan is the Donglin Party, Lu Hanqiang is not only the emperor's favorite minister, but also the sworn enemy of Donglin, and the leader of the lonely ministers.

Hearing this request, Zhao Zi and Wang Gonggong, who were working in the hall, closed their mouths tightly, and each lowered their heads and began to look at the local documents in their hands, although their eyes had begun to drift, and there was no focus at all, although their minds did not know where they went.

Lu Hanqiang put down the pen in his hand, because the little fat man shook his table vigorously, making him filthy a document in front of him. sighed, this is the sorrow of the general, this is the sorrow of being a Ming general, and it is also the fear of the future of the general, even the three-hundred-year-old prince, a son who is not afraid of heaven and earth, has begun to feel fear, and now, the evil consequences of Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong have begun to appear.

"Sit down." Lu Hanqiang comforted softly, hoping that the little fat brother could calm down.

The little fat man pushed away Wang Jian, who handed him the chair, "Brother-in-law, rehabilitate Mao Shuai and punish Yuan Chonghuan and the dog official, you will definitely be able to do it, definitely." ”

Lu Han leaned back on the back of the chair weakly, and rubbed his bulging temples with his hands: "Brother, what can I do?" ”

"There are villains around the emperor, brother-in-law, you can't watch Mao Shuai being wronged." The little fat man shook the table vigorously, bringing his face closer to Lu Hanqiang, and the spit stars had splashed on Lu Hanqiang's face.

Lu Hanqiang twisted his head to the side, avoiding the little fat man's clear and palpitating eyes, but he saw that in the eyes of this reckless brother, in addition to clarity, there was more fear, yes, fear, a prince who had accumulated three hundred years of merit and the only one who did not fall all felt fear, what kind of ending is this? "I want to do this too, but this is beyond my jurisdiction, I am a disaster relief minister, not an imperial historian, my business here is to do my best to save as many displaced people as possible."

The little fat man stood for a moment, and yelled bitterly: "Mao Shuai overcame all obstacles, independently supported Liaodong, and in the case of lack ......of food and no silver, he restrained the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and hundreds of thousands of living people, how could the emperor be so ruthless, kill if he says kill, and don't even give a way to live" The little fat man slammed his fists down and slammed it on the table, making the ink on the table jump out, and one or two points splashed on Lu Hanqiang's face, the prince ignored these, and still yelled angrily: "Why is this? ”

Zhao Zi and the others still turned a deaf ear, still looking at the things in their hands. The prince was writing at the time, and the little fat man made him write a crooked word when he boarded, but he changed a piece of paper without raising his head and continued to write.

However, Lu Hanqiang couldn't bear it in his heart, and he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Maybe it's not the emperor's intention, I think this is Yuan Gouguan's correction."

The little fat man scoffed at Lu Hanqiang's words, it seems that everyone in the world knows and thinks so, Yuan Chonghuan, a third-grade official, would not dare to kill a big man without authorization no matter what, all this must be a secret decree made by the emperor behind his back, but the matter is exactly what everyone does not know and understand

The little fat man still said unrelentingly: "Brother-in-law, I know you want to defend the emperor, but the ancients have a saying: the fault of a gentleman is like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Everyone sees it; Change it, everyone looks up to it. The emperor listened to the villain's words this time, and those villains are your sworn enemy Donglin, and the traitor Yuan Chonghuan is the representative of Donglin, so brother-in-law, you should write a book to defend Mao Shuai and let the emperor rehabilitate Mao Shuai."

Lu Hanqiang spread his hands helplessly, and muttered weakly: "How to rehabilitate?" Yuan Chonghuan talked nonsense and then killed Mao Shuai, ten major crimes, hahaha, each of them is so unwarranted, even a three-year-old child can see that it is unwarranted, but after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Shuai, the whole process did not go through the poor treatment at all, and the court neither deprived Mao Shuai of his official body nor announced Mao Shuai's crime, there was no conviction at all, how can he be rehabilitated? ”

Then he shook his head again, "I'm in Shanxi now, not in the court, when I got the news, it was already a fait accompli, and this time, Donglin is celebrating with a crown, what is my Lone Ministers Party doing?" They are also civil officials, they are also celebrating each other, everyone is celebrating the three hundred years of the dynasty, the victory of the civil ministers over the military generals has never been, this is a gluttonous feast, rich so that all the civil ministers, including the literati, are greedy to enjoy this feast.

Lu Hanqiang deliberately bit the word literati very hard, so that even Zhao Zi, who was sitting on the side and burying his head in the case, involuntarily twisted his body.

Looking at Shizi, whose face was already pale and cold sweat was dripping on the table, Lu Hanqiang felt that the strength in his body had completely disappeared, if it weren't for the chair, if it wasn't for the wall behind him, he would have completely collapsed like a puddle of mud.

"And what can I do? In principle, I am also a civil servant, and I should also celebrate this time that the civil minister completely defeated the military generals and completely stood at the highest point of the dynasty. But looking at his hands spread out on the table, he muttered weakly: "But my conscience tells me that I should not celebrate with those ignorant bastards the dynasty that is about to collapse, the edifice that is about to collapse, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that are about to become fishy and foul." ”

The prince's hand trembled again, and he drew the paper in front of him that he didn't know what it was, but this time he didn't change it, but the mechanical one was still written on it, writing.

Lu Hanqiang's words have gone beyond what he should say as a Ming courtier, this is no longer a comment, but seems to have become a curse, the most vicious curse.

After the Twin Islands. Chongzhen just repeated Yuan Chonghuan's conviction of Mao Wenlong in the imperial palace newspaper, and notified everyone that it was over. Chongzhen expressed comfort in his reply to Yuan Chonghuan and asked him to continue to go to "Pingliao for five years".

'Wenlong Tongyi has traces', but the Criminal Department officially confirmed whether Mao Wenlong had or did not have those ten crimes, and whether Mao Shuai was 'through' or 'not' Jiannu." After Lu Hanqiang finished speaking, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "So it is impossible for me to write a letter for Mao Shuai to avenge my grievances, because there is no grievance at all."

Helplessly sighed: "I can fight with one person, but I can't fight with the entire civil official group without my might, I can't fight with the entire Ming Dynasty with tens of millions of scholars, I can't fight with the emperor with the consequences of raiding the family and destroying the door, in fact, I don't care, anyway, I have been a human being in two lives, but my mother is innocent, my little brother and sister, my Zihan, my Ruyu, my level (Shizi) my Ruyun, my Xiaohuang, you are innocent, you don't have to make innocent sacrifices for this Ming, I can change the fate of an unrelated person, but I can't change the fate of an entire group, that, brother, you know? ”

Silence, death-like silence.

"Brother-in-law, I understand what you mean," the little fat man stared at Lu Hanqiang with bright eyes motionless, which was already full of pain: "You think it is Yuan Gouguan's correction, but the emperor plans to see if he can 'five years of Pingliao', and then determine how this case should be judged, and you can only wait for this result, right?" ”

"It's the ground." Lu Hanqiang replied affirmatively to the prince Zhang Zhiji. In this world, if you say who knows Chongzhen best, Lu Hanqiang thinks that he knows him better than Chongzhen himself, so his answer is so affirmative.

The little fat man straightened his chest and took a deep breath: "Brother-in-law, this means that there is no villain to bewitch the emperor at all, and the emperor also knows that Mao Shuai is wronged, but as long as Yuan Gouguan can 'five years of Pingliao', the emperor will help him wronged Mao Shuai together, right?" ”

Lu Hanqiang sighed slightly. He nodded slightly.

Although there are many people who believe that Yuan Chonghuan has obtained the emperor's secret decree, the three people in the house also agree with Lu Hanqiang's analysis, and they fully believe that this is Yuan Chonghuan's unauthorized decision, first cutting and then letting Chongzhen endorse it. And Chongzhen also thinks that it is not a big deal to die a Mao Wenlong, as long as Yuan Chonghuan can defeat Houjin, he can completely ignore this matter. However, without Mao Wenlong's containment in Liaodong, can Yuan Chonghuan, who is trapped and unable to defend it, be able to calm Liao in five years? Dream on.

Looking at the unwilling little fat man, Lu Hanqiang looked at the other two people present, especially at the prince.

The prince closed his eyes in pain, threw away the pen in his hand, and nodded in the face of the black paper that had been smeared by him.

Lu Hanqiang turned his head and said weakly to the little fat man: "Actually, as early as when Zhao Liang brought me information, I used my privileges for the first time, and used a function of the commercial post station to write to the emperor, I am not rehabilitating Mao Wenlong, because it is useless, I just advised the emperor to punish Yuan Chonghuan for the crime of killing ministers without permission, or not to go to the holy decree to endorse Yuan Chonghuan, so that the ministers of the world should not be arrogant, and give the generals of the world a sense of security, that's all." ”

"The result? The little fat man's eyes lit up again, hoping that he would hear the results he wanted to hear.

Lu Hanqiang closed his eyes in pain: "Wang Chengen sent me a letter back, and the letter only has two words - eventful. ”

When Lu Hanqiang said these two words, the strength in his body seemed to suddenly disappear, and even his spine seemed to be broken.

The little fat man was completely stunned, in his almost naΓ―ve thinking, right is right, wrong is wrong "Even Mao Shuai can't die well, the emperor even treats Mao Shuai as a pig and a dog, so what are we?" Even if it is a three-hundred-year-old national general like me, how can we compare to Mao Shuai with our meritorious and hard work? ”

Lu Hanqiang's face was expressionless, because he knew history, and in history, this bad precedent was set, and this kind of thing did not happen once or twice in history. For example, He Renlong soon.

He Renlong has a very bad temper, and has repeatedly publicly insulted the Wenchen of the prison army, and when Hong Chengchou supervised Ganshandi, he was always polite and tolerant to He Renlong. He Renlong, as the chief soldier of the Qin army, whether it was fighting with Mongolia or against the Chuang army, whether it was the old King Gao Yingxiang or the later King Li Zicheng, or the "New King of Breaking" Lu Shi (another bad work of mine, hehe) He has never lost a battle, and he will lead his family to charge into battle in every battle, and he has also been given the nickname "He Maniac" by the peasant army. Chongzhen also said that he didn't care about this, he felt that it was normal for literati to kill military generals, especially by killing the army, and it was normal for them to have a reputation and great merit in the future, as long as Sun Chuanting could pacify Li Zicheng, he would not care. After the news of He Renlong's death came out, the army celebrated with a crown, and Li Zicheng said the following: "He is a madman who is dead, and he is like picking up mustard in the pass."

Immediately fought a decisive battle with the Qin army, and the cold-hearted generals no longer had the fighting spirit, so Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, broke Tongguan and Xi'an, captured the King of Qin alive, and finally rolled all the way to the east, and finally forced Chongzhen to hang the coal mountain.

Whose fault is it for the fall of the Ming Dynasty? Chongzhen once left a book for Li Zicheng viciously, "Wenchen can be killed, don't hurt one of my people." He put all the mistakes on the head of Wenchen, thinking that he was not a mediocre king, but a minister who harmed the country, but he forgot to ask, who raised Wenchen to this point today?

"Go, be your happy son, this court has no part in your speech."

The prince just stood motionless.

Lu Hanqiang said again: "Yuan Chonghuan will get the punishment he deserves." ”

"Who? Is it you, brother-in-law? The little fat man was refreshed again.

Lu Hanqiang shook his head lightly: "Five years of Pingliao? Yuan Chonghuan, the first big mouth of Ping Daming? Is it possible? Lu Hanqiang smiled meaningfully.

The little fat man was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the result, but when he understood the result, another deep feeling like falling into the abyss made him completely lose his strength.

Lu Hanqiang looked at the lonely figure of the little fat man who seemed to have been drained of his spirit and slowly walked out of the meeting hall, and looked at the prince with concern.

Wang Gonggong shook his head embarrassedly, and then picked up the account in his hand: "Lord Lu, these days, the carbon of the carbon plant has no inventory, and the southern grain merchants who came this time need to wait for a few days to open the kiln next time." ”

Lu Hanqiang breathed a sigh of relief, which showed that the prince didn't care about the little fat man's move, which showed that he would not report the little fat man's words to Chongzhen.

Lu Hanqiang leaned back on the chair and instructed Wang Jian: "Go, bring Wang Dazhuang to me, I have something to say." ”
