Chapter 154
"Husband, it's time to get up, it's already sunburned!"

Sun Xiuxiu was held in Liu Hongjian's arms and couldn't move, so she had to say with a shy face.

"Well, I'll sleep again. What are you doing when you wake up in this cold weather? There's no comfort in bed." Liu Hongjian said with a babble.

"Then can the concubine get up first..."

"cannot!"

……

"Master! Is the master here?" Li Baida's donkey voice, which was comparable to a bull's stick, came from outside the yard.

I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it... Liu Hongjian directly pulled up the quilt and covered his head. He was a little sleepy after tossing around Yang Xue in the West Wing until midnight last night.

"Husband, Li Baihu is calling you, maybe there is something important to report, get up quickly!" Sun Xiuxiu said helplessly, her husband is good at everything, but he likes to stay in bed.

"It's so annoying! I'll send them to Shanxi to dig coal sooner or later, these two big bastards."

Liu Hongjian muttered and sat up, and Sun Xiuxiu hurriedly got up and helped him to dress. Liu Hongjian felt sorry for his beloved wife who was pregnant, so he took the clothes and put them on by himself.

"Master! Master..."

"Shut up, what's the matter?"

Liu Hongjian pushed open the door and walked out. The sunlight was a little weak, and several servants were cleaning the yard.

"Master, a father-in-law came to the palace and said he brought the emperor's command." Li Baida smiled and pointed in the direction of the front yard.

"Well, I see, let's go and have a look."

Is it because he didn't go to the court today, the emperor asked the teacher for his crime?Liu Hongjian was thinking wildly as he walked.

When they arrived at the central hall, they saw Wang Erxi anxiously walking up and down the central hall with his whisk in his hand.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry."

"Oh, my Lord Marquis, hurry up and enter the palace with our family." Wang Erxi pulled Liu Hongjian out as if seeing a savior.

"What's so urgent, tell me first!"

"Let's go, Lord Hou, and tell me as you walk, Lord Long Live and all the officials are waiting for you!"

After getting into the carriage, Wang Erxi moved to Liu Hongjian's side and whispered about what happened in Huangji Palace today.

It turned out that in the early hours of last night, the soldiers of the Beijing camp led by Cheng Guogong made a triumphant return from Jiangbei, and the rebels in the three towns were defeated and surrendered.

Returning from a big victory is something worth celebrating, but today, when the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Chunchen, announced the results of the battle, he was read by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Jing Nan Bo Huang Degong on the spot.

It is said that Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was greedy for meritorious service and improperly commanded, causing more than [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp to be besieged by the rebels to death.

Then Cheng Guogong counterattacked Huang Degong for not obeying the command. The two of them refused to give in to each other, and they even raised their hands in the court.

On the one hand, there are the hereditary nobles who made great contributions to Emperor Chengzu in the Battle of Jingnan, and on the other hand are the hard-working generals who have worked hard and made great contributions to the king.

The courtiers threw their hands at the mouse, and the emperor hesitated, so he had to temporarily withdraw from the court. No, as soon as he retreated from the court, the emperor's oral order was passed to An Guohou's mansion.

It was that old rascal again. After listening to Wang Erxi's narration, Liu Hongjian immediately thought of Zhu Chunchen's short, fat and hateful face.

Arriving at the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was processing piles of memorials before the case.

"The humble minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"Why didn't you come to court today?" Chongzhen asked, putting down the pen in his hand.

"Back to the emperor, my minister... I had a stomachache yesterday, and I feel unwell." As expected, it was Xingshi who came to question him, Liu Hongjian curled his lips.

"Hmph, is that really the case?"

Liu Hongjian: ...

"Get up, because you are newlywed, I will spare you this time, sit down!" Chongzhen pointed to the chair next to him.

"Your majesty is looking for this minister for today's court affairs?" Liu Hongjian got up and said.

"That's right, now that the rebellion in the three towns has been decided, it was supposed to be a happy event for the imperial court, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

On the one hand, there are relatives who have contributed to my Ming Dynasty in my ancestors, and on the other hand, there are officials who have repeatedly contributed to Daming's rebellion, and Huang Degong was recommended by you. I am very embarrassed! "

No wonder Chongzhen was so difficult to do. The Ming Dynasty had always been lenient to the descendants of the founding heroes, and would not have severely punished them unless they committed heinous crimes.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people, military matters should be dealt with impartially, and we must not favor any side, otherwise, how to calm down the army's morale will be a serious problem.

The honor and disgrace of one person is so humble compared to my Ming Dynasty. "

Of course Liu Hongjian knew that Chongzhen still favored Cheng Guogong in his heart. After all, Zhu Chunchen's ancestor, Zhu Neng, once made great contributions to Chengzu Jingnan.

As for Huang Degong, his title of earl was temporarily given by Chongzhen in order to appease the four towns in Jiangbei.

Not to mention a lifelong title, in terms of loyalty in Chongzhen's heart, it cannot be compared with Cheng Guogong, a veteran who retired with the country.

The two chatted for a while, and Chongzhen still hesitated with a sullen face. Liu Hongjian knew that it was hopeless to use this opportunity to get rid of a prince.

Seeing that it was noon time, Liu Hongjian had no choice but to follow Chongzhen to the Huangji Hall.

When Zhu Chunchen saw An Guohou following Chongzhen, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but as the hereditary Duke of the imperial court, he was always highly valued by Chongzhen, so he didn't take it too seriously.

There is one more person in the general class, his face is as sharp as a knife, his hair is gray, but his tiger eyes are particularly sharp, his figure is not very tall, but he stands upright like a pillar.

I think this is Huang Degong, a fierce general from the Southern Ming Dynasty, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, our troops lost a total of more than [-] soldiers in the Battle of Jiangbei, of which more than [-] died in the battle of Huaiyin Mansion alone. Fighting on the battlefield and shrouding corpses in horse leather are the honor of soldiers. If they really died in battle like this , I have nothing to say.

But they died unjustly, if it wasn't for the commander-in-chief Zhu Chunchen's greed for meritorious deeds, causing them...

The minister's soldiers... the minister's heart aches... please the emperor to be the master, otherwise... the minister will not be an official! "

Huang Degong joined the army when he was a teenager. He has gone through hundreds of battles for decades, with dozens of scars and arrow marks on his body, but he has never fought such a useless battle.

A considerable part of those who were besieged to death by tens of thousands of rebels were soldiers who had followed him for many years. Although he had no education, whenever he thought of those young lives dying on the battlefield, he felt sorry for them.

After talking about it, the resounding man was sobbing.

"Presumptuous! How can you be an official of the imperial court and resign if you want?" Chongzhen was furious, and slapped the dragon chair violently.

"Your majesty is wise! Huang Degong regards the court's law as nothing, and dares to threaten the emperor. He should be severely punished!" Ma Shiying, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said coldly.

In order to return to the imperial court and return to the battlefield that fascinated him, Ma Shiying spent a lot of money, and Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was the biggest leader. Without Zhu Chunchen's strong recommendation, Ma Shiying would still be living in Nanjing now.

Now that the boss is being falsely accused, as a pawn, of course he will not let go of this opportunity to express his position.

In his opinion, Huang Degong, a mere deputy general, dared to impeach the hereditary Cheng Guogong.

"My Majesty, although the old minister is dull, since he led the army to put down the rebellion, he has been cautious every single day, lest he lose the reputation of the emperor, and please don't listen to his family's words.

When Huang Degong was in the army, he was arrogant and refused to obey orders, which led to Huai'an's defeat.

The old minister thought he was getting old, and couldn't bear to criticize him harshly, but today he bit him back. Since inheriting the title, the old minister has always been self-denying and strict with himself.

Now that he is subjected to such great shame and humiliation, what face does the veteran have to go home to pay respects to his ancestors, and ask the emperor to call the shots! "

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, prostrated himself on the ground and wept loudly, crying so darkly that he was like a mourning concubine.

Drama!If this person doesn't act, he's really burying his talent!

Although Liu Hongjian despised the fat old man in front of him, he still admired the old man's scheming.

Humility first, and then pour dirty water on Huang Degong. With Huang Degong's speech mistakes just now, Chongzhen must be disgusted with Huang Degong, and then sacrifice his ancestors.

The same is true for Huang Degong, who can't even say such a big word, so he is pushing himself into the pit!

It's good now, the wall is falling and everyone is pushing. It doesn't matter if Huang Degong is in the court. Isn't this cool?

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" Liu Hongjian's face turned pale when he saw Huang Degong, and finally he came out of class to speak.

Who said that you, Huang Degong, have no backing in the court?I am!

 Thank you for the 500 coin reward from the fat man in the Li family yard, the 2000 coin reward from the book friend Liu Baijiang, the 100 coin reward from the book friend Zhao Qinwei, Tushan Xingkong, the forced salted fish, and the Shenzhen fat man, thank you The 1000 coins that the book friend murmured, I love you old irons so much. In order to express my gratitude, I will recommend this book to everyone (/funny).

  "The Best Little Son-in-Law" Wen Neng's poems and songs are slapped in the face, Wu Neng carries a machine gun on the battlefield, pushes the daughter out of his heart, and the emotional drama is relatively full. The girl's violent plot, and the novel of the same routine as the servant, if you are interested, you can read it.
