Chapter 551: Li Zicheng, who is inexplicably behind the blame
"Oh, how do you cooperate?" Qin Shuhuai asked with "interest".
"It's very simple, you can answer whatever the official asks. As long as you are indeed innocent, the official will also be enlightened, not only to clear the grievances of Hou Ye, but also to redeal those who framed Hou Ye. ”
He thought that Qin Shuhuai would be restrained when he said this, but he didn't expect it to attract a gloomy smile from Qin Shuhuai.
"Master Zhang, are you just going to check this? With the death of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, don't you Donglin Party want to investigate it properly? What if I killed him too?"
Zhang Yijia was immediately terrified when he heard this, and his heart trembled slightly: He, he actually admitted to killing Yang He? What does this mean?
He had a premonition that something was wrong.
Qin Shuhuai put away his smile and shouted, "Zhang Yijia, Ben Hou sees that you are stupid to read, right? Don't look at what kind of place this is, do you think that you can come to spread wild with your little Baoding governor? Tell you, even if Zhou Yanru comes, you have to kneel down when you see Ben Hou!"
Zhang Yijia was dripping in cold sweat, hurriedly took out the holy decree to save his life, and said to Qin Shuhuai, "Qin Shuhuai kneels down and accepts the order!"
He wanted to reiterate his status as a minister.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shuhuai put his hands behind his back and looked at him disapprovingly.
Zhang Yijia said loudly, "Qin Shuhuai, do you dare to resist the decree? Are you going to rebel?"
At this time, Zhang Yijia didn't know that he had stepped into the wolf's den. This pedantic Donglin scholar always thought that he had the holy decree and Donglin as the backing, so he could do whatever he wanted on the three sides, but he didn't want to think about it, now Qin Shuhuai has heavy troops on the three sides, and he can only endure it even if Chongzhen has a grudge against him, how can he be at the mercy of a little Baoding governor?
Moreover, Qin Shuhuai had no intention of letting him go back alive at all.
Why? Because this is a big drama that he and Chongzhen jointly performed, if he doesn't kill him, he will say that Qin Shuhuai will resist the decree or something after he goes back, let Chongzhen do Qin Shuhuai or not? If he doesn't do it, Chongzhen's face will be glossless, isn't it? So not only Qin Shuhuai wants to kill him, Chongzhen also wants Qin Shuhuai to kill him. And Qin Shuhuai can find 10,000 reasons to kill him, such as the conscientious Lord Zhang who unfortunately encountered a rogue on the way to patrol and sacrificed his life for the country, etc.
He Qin Shuhuai is not afraid that the Donglin Party will come to make trouble, anyway, from the beginning of the governor of Zhejiang, he and the Donglin Party are destined to die.
Zhang Yijia saw that Qin Shuhuai didn't even care about the holy decree, and the fear in his heart was even worse. He began to understand that he seemed to be more than lucky.
He panicked, and said incoherently, "Qin Shuhuai, you, you have the audacity to openly resist the decree, Ben Qin is poor, Ben Qin is sent to give the emperor Ming, and you will be beheaded all over the house!"
Qin Shuhuai sneered, shook his head slightly, and said, "Master Zhang, with your IQ, it is really a great spectacle of the Ming Dynasty to be able to sit in the position of governor of Baoding. ”
After investigation, this person pretended to be Zhang Yijia, the governor of Baoding, and falsely preached the holy decree, intending to murder Benhou. Pull them out and rectify the Fa on the spot! The guards and other cadres to whom they belong are all accomplices, and they will be corrected together!"
Zhang Yijia's head buzzed, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he couldn't react for a long time. He never thought that Qin Shuhuai would not only dare to resist the decree, but also dare to kill the minister!
His dozen or so guards were also stunned, Lord Zhang was the dignified governor of Baoding, and he was also the minister of the Qin Mission, without the consent of the emperor, no matter how old Qin Shuhuai was to kill him! Originally, this time, they thought that they could make a big windfall in the name of the people around Master Zhang, but they didn't expect that they would accompany him to death when they first arrived here?
Unconvinced, they immediately drew their blades and tried to resist. However, who are the guards around Qin Shuhuai? In addition to masters like Meng Hu, there are also good players in the Jianghe Gang, how can more than a dozen of them resist?
Three times five divided by two, these dozen or so guards were killed seven or eight at once, and the remaining few were also captured, and when Qin Shuhuai's other guards outside the door rushed in, the battle was already over.
Zhang Yijia is also quite backbone, knowing that it is impossible to escape death today, and when he was dragged down, he scolded Qin Shuhuai and scolded him for rebelling, and sooner or later there would be no good results.
It didn't take long for Meng Hu to come in with his head and ask Qin Shuhuai to inspect it. Qin Shuhuai didn't even look at it, and waved his hand to let him take it out quickly, saying that the smell of blood in the house was too strong.
When Meng Hu walked to the door with his head in his hand, he remembered something, turned his head and smiled at Qin Shuhuai, "Master Hou, this kid scolded happily just now, right? But he peed his pants before he was executed! Ouch, that guy is scared! Haha!"
Qin Shuhuai said without raising his head, "You have a lot to do." Did you send it out?"
Meng Hu was excited, "Ouch, I almost forgot, I was angry with this guy! I'll send someone out immediately, right away!"
Zhang Yijia was killed by Qin Shuhuai in such a daze. In addition to the dozen or so guards, he also brought more than a thousand guards, which were all broken up by Qin Shuhuai and filled into the major battalions.
On the morning of the next day, Qin Shuhuai led an army of 45,000 to the north, preparing to encircle and suppress all kinds of miscellaneous rogues outside the city of Weinan.
At this time, he didn't know that there had been a shocking change in Weinan City.
On the night of June 22 in the third year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, who was ragged and only had about a dozen personal guards to protect him, finally rushed to a post ten miles away from Weinan City after going through a lot of hardships. The soldiers at the outpost did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted Gao Yingxiang to rest in the house, and at the same time immediately sent troops to Weinan to inform Li Zicheng.
At this time, Li Zicheng had already known about the defeat of Shangluo through the Demon Sect envoy who had returned, and he was nervously arranging the defense of Weinan, when he heard that Gao Yingxiang was back, he was surprised and happy, and personally led thousands of his subordinates to meet him.
After arriving at the outpost ten miles away, Li Zicheng wanted to go in to see Gao Yingxiang, but was told by Gao Yingxiang's personal guards that King Chuang didn't want to see him at this time!
It turned out that Gao Yingxiang complained that Li Zicheng did not go to the rescue when he knew that the official army was besieging the city, but took the army to spend time in Weinan, which led to the loss of Shangluo.
Li Zicheng felt very aggrieved. At that time, he had already proposed that he would lead his troops to Weinan and attack the officers and troops with Gao Yingxiang on one south and one north, but Liu Guoneng did not agree, and Gao Yingxiang himself denied this matter, saying that the risk was too great, or according to Liu Guoneng's intentions, let the official army attack the city for a few days first, in order to make a strategy of exhausting and depleting troops, and then unite all the allied forces to fight a decisive battle with the official army. But now, Gao Yingxiang has lost Shangluo City, but he wants to put the blame on him.
In fact, Gao Yingxiang is not really blaming Li Zicheng. It's just that he is the "King of Chuang", and losing Shangluo City overnight is a matter of great damage to majesty, and if it spreads, it will have a great negative impact on the subsequent command of all the allied forces. Therefore, he must find a scapegoat to carry this black cauldron. And he thinks that the relationship with Li Zicheng is like that of father and son, he, the "king of breaking", wants to find a scapegoat, and the best candidate is, of course, Li Zicheng, the "general". He believes that the smart Li Zicheng still has this political consciousness, it is nothing more than a show, and with him, Li Zicheng's future will not have any impact.
It should be said that there is nothing wrong with his thinking, and it is an objective reality that Chinese and foreign leaders in ancient and modern times must bear the blame for their mistakes. Especially if you lose such a big "pot" as Lao Chao Shangluo, you need others to carry it, which is not about honesty and integrity, but about the hearts of soldiers and the people. He is willing to let Li Zicheng carry this pot, which is a high degree of trust in Li Zicheng.
But he seems to have forgotten how Li Zicheng killed his boss who was kind to him in the first place, and fell into the grass.
