Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 507 Cao Huachun's Assist
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Hongjian, the instigator of everything, finally arrived in the capital.

After sitting on the boat for six or seven days, Liu Hongjian only felt a little tired physically, but there was still a raging fire burning in his heart, which was enough to support him to face all accusations.

On the night when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Hongjian first sent Chang Yu to the palace to deliver a letter, to report to Uncle Chongzhen that he was safe, and by the way, to report some matters concerning Shandong.

Chongzhen was a little annoyed that Liu Hongjian didn't go to the palace to meet him in person. These days, as the emperor, he was under pressure from the entire court.

In just five or six days, eight large boxes were filled with the memorials to impeach Liu Hongjian, and they were placed in the main hall where he handled government affairs in the Qianqing Palace.

Also thinking that this kid is here, he must be reprimanded, and discuss how to deal with the anger of the courtiers.

You must know that the reason why the courtiers have not gone on strike until now, and they can still endure their anger and continue to work, is all because the defendant Liu Hongjian is not around for this matter.

This was a matter of great concern to the dignity of the Confucian family, Confucian officials, and scholars. If these courtiers knew that Liu Hongjian had returned to the capital, a big battle would be inevitable.

Never thought that this kid never came at all, Chongzhen's angry teacup was dropped, Chang Yu became a punching bag, and was sprayed with dragon's blood by Chongzhen.

But after reprimanding Chang Yu for a while, he felt that it was too much. After all, he was responsible for the mission. In the absence of relief food, Liu Hongjian not only quelled the banditry in Shandong without bloodshed, but also saved the lives of most of the victims. .

Although the method is a bit unreasonable, this is what that kid is capable of. It would be impossible for anyone else to tie the courtiers together.

Maybe that Zhuzi was tired?Chongzhen sighed, but ordered Chang Yu to tell Liu Hongjian that he must come to court tomorrow morning and be prepared to be impeached.

At the end, I added another sentence, don't worry too much, everything is mine.

Liu Hongjian knew nothing about what happened in the palace, but he was mentally prepared for the courtiers' impeachment and accusations.

Jin Yiwei was the most well-informed. Liu Hongjian had just had dinner with his family when he arrived at the county palace, when Liang Yang, the commanding officer of Jin Yiwei, came to the door.

More than a year has passed, and Liang Yang is still the same. Although he is 500 years old and still looks thin, but his sharp eyesight and capable style of handling things make Liu Hongjian feel that this old Liang can work for another [-] years. .

The old man Liu Hongjian was lying on the reclining chair, and the two Korean maidservants bestowed on him by Chongzhen were pinching his legs, one on the left and the other on the right, while he closed his eyes and listened to Liang Yang's report.

When it came to the courtiers colluding to impeach him recently, Liu Hongjian didn't even lose his face.

Liang Yang really admired Liu Hongjian's mentality of not changing his face in front of the landslide. He also said that Jin Yiwei had already collected evidence of the illegality of several main ministers who impeached him.

Once Liu Hongjian needed it, he could use it as a bargaining chip to fight back against the courtiers.

Liu Hongjian only said that there was no need, he never thought of arguing with those old men because of these insignificant matters, it is fair and comfortable, besides, there is Uncle Chongzhen in the palace.

It's just a group of scholars who only know how to talk, what kind of moths can they make, he just needs to be his salty fish with peace of mind, and the right to treat outsiders is all farting.

If Liang Yang knew Liu Hongjian's state of mind at this time, he didn't know how he felt, his heart was really big.

Liang Yang had just left, and the new Dongge University scholar, Minister of Rites, Han Yu came again. Uncle Han repeated the same thing and told Liu Hongjian repeatedly, and suggested that he must go to court on time tomorrow.

Although there are many officials who impeached him, there are also many who support him. Li Banghua, the chief minister of the cabinet, is one of them. unmarried man.

Needless to say, Dongge University scholar Han Yu is Liu Hongjian's staunch vanguard.

Except for these two big men, Huang Degong, the governor of the Eight Frontiers, Qin Liangyu, the governor of the Southwest, as well as the commanders and generals from all walks of life, almost all the military officers sent urgent memorials to the capital to support Anguo County King Liu Hongjian.

After more than a year of fighting, many generals have titles on their heads. These people are considered rookies of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also Liu Hongjian's staunch supporters.

The soldiers didn't care about the Kong family. For more than a year, the military salaries of soldiers all over the country have been increased, and the payment has been made on time and in full. Weapons and equipment have undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the honor after death has been considered.

People's hearts are fleshy, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also knew who caused all these changes.

Generals with official positions and titles can write memorials, while hundreds of thousands of soldiers played Wanyan Shu, and threatened that if the king of Anguo County suffered injustice because of this, they still had thoughts on the side of the Qing emperor.

After listening to Han Yu's report, Liu Hongjian really didn't know whether these generals were helping him or helping those who impeached him.

That is to say, Chongzhen knew his character. If he was placed in any dynasty or any other emperor, as long as there was one person who was so supported by all the generals, no matter whether this person was really guilty or not, there was only one road waiting for him, death.

On the other hand, most of the people who impeached him were naked officials from the south of the Yangtze River who used to have large tracts of fertile land in their homes, or a more suitable pronoun-Donglin Party.

Although Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian cut leeks one after another, the current Donglin Party has gradually weakened.

But the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and now Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian didn't even give them grass to eat. Taking away their hometown's farmland meant cutting off the food and grass for the camels.

Since all the camels grabbed Liu Hongjian's toad legs, how could they stop fighting if they didn't squeeze Liu Hongjian to urinate.

The leader of the opposition is Fan Jingwen, the second deputy of the cabinet. Lao Fan is not a member of the Donglin Party, and his family is also poor.

Although Lao Fan was dissatisfied with Liu Hongjian's behavior in the Confucian family, he still recognized Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian's changes in Ming Dynasty in recent years.

After listening to Han Yu's analysis, Liu Hongjian felt dizzy. This group of bird officials really feared that the world would not be chaotic, so they requisitioned some food and saved millions of disaster victims. Is it worth thinking about whether this is a merit or a demerit?

Besides, didn't he have an IOU?

As for the Confucian family, did they take the blame entirely on themselves, did they save so much food for rebellion?
Liu Hongjian was very annoyed by Lao Liang and Han Yu's report, and Chang Yu, who came from the palace, brought Chongzhen's order that he must go to the morning court tomorrow, Liu Hongjian's mood was even worse.

He didn't want to argue with these old men, but found that there was nothing he could do. While thinking about it, he didn't expect another visitor from the county palace, and he was still a rare visitor.

"My lord, are you here?" It's already the twelfth lunar month, Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, put on a windbreaker and smiled as soon as he entered the door.

"What kind of madness is this? It's brought Eunuch Cao here. Come, come and sit." Liu Hongjian thought to himself that there are so many things to do tonight.

But Lao Cao was smiling, thinking that he would come to report his worries like Uncle Liang and Uncle Han.

"Nowadays, the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are full of quarrels because of the matter of the Kong family. The prince's mentality is really good. If our house is deep in the center of the whirlpool, we will not be able to eat or sleep well~!"

Cao Huachun entered the house and took off his windbreaker, but someone from his servants had already picked it up and hung it aside, revealing the bright red python suit inside.

"You old Cao, don't make jokes, this king is also very worried. Speaking of which, if you, old Cao, also come to report your worries to this king, this king will not listen to it. If you listen to it again, you will really not be able to sleep at night. "Liu Hongjian half-jokingly said.

"Hahaha, the lord is really an optimist." Cao Huachun laughed out loud when he heard this. Those who can say such words must be big-hearted people.

"Cao's success today is entirely due to the recommendation of the prince. Although our family is working for the prince, we will not see the prince being humiliated.

We don't have many friends in our family. Although the ministers in the court respect us on the surface, they look down on us secretly. Only the prince can treat us equally. To be honest, our family is here to help the prince. "

Cao Huachun's face was solemn, and his words were extremely sincere.

The eunuch is physically disabled and deep in the palace. He always hears about hidden murderous intentions and intrigues in the palace. In addition to Wei Zhongxian's suppression of courtiers more than ten years ago, all officials naturally look down on eunuchs.

But eunuchs also have loyalty, Wang Chengen counts as one, and Cao Huachun counts as one. Whoever helped him is always thinking about it.

"Oh? Eunuch Cao has a good strategy?" Liu Hongjian became interested when he heard it.

Both Liang Yang and Han Yu are upright people. To put it bluntly, even if they make suggestions, they are mostly upright ones.

Since the old Liangtou took charge of Jinyiwei's affairs on behalf of Liu Hongjian, Jinyiwei's notoriety has been wiped out, so it can be seen.

But Cao Huachun was different. He was in charge of Dongchang and he was the number one lackey of the royal family. As long as Chongzhen ordered, Dongchang would bite and bite, and his mouth would be bloody.

Few of those who entered the Dongchang Dark Prison survived, and even those who slipped through, most of them were only missing arms and legs.

Just think about the fate of the captives of the Qing Dynasty Tartars, more than 100 human sticks, plus a few human pigs...

Tsk tsk, Liu Hongjian smacked his tongue in his heart, and hurriedly asked Cao Huachun.

"My lord, look at this." Cao Huachun didn't say much, took a memorial from his waist and handed it to Liu Hongjian.

Liu Hongjian was puzzled, he opened the memorabilia and he understood it after a cursory reading.

This memorandum is very long, with thousands of lowercase characters, and it lists the illegal things that the Confucian family has done over the years collected by Dongchang.

From bribing officials and corrupting ink, to oppressing the village and ignoring people's lives, one by one, the exact date, as well as the witness and material evidence are clearly written.

"Well, this is a good thing. I think at least the king will not be at a disadvantage when he comes to court tomorrow." Liu Hongjian thought about it for a while. Although Jin Yiwei also had the case summary of the Kong family, it was not as detailed as Cao Huachun.

"Hey, my lord can't do it!" Cao Huachun laughed wickedly, objecting to Liu Hongjian's behavior.

"Oh? Why? Old Cao has better means?" Liu Hongjian knew that this old Cao had many tricks, so he asked back.

"If the prince directly submits this crime to the court tomorrow morning, you and Kong Yanzhi will at most lose both sides. This is not possible. The prince's T-shirt Limin has been in Shandong for a month. How can he come back and be blamed?"

Cao Huachun smiled slightly and blew on the tea in the tea bowl.

"Your old Cao Mo wants to betray you. If there is any bad move, let's talk about it quickly." Liu Hongjian has always been the one who betrayed him, but now Liu Hongjian feels upset when he sees Lao Cao's godlike presence.

"Hahaha, to tell you the truth, our family just came back from Kong's house, and we also met Yan Shenggong, and had a long talk with him." Cao Huachun laughed out loud.

He knew that his benefactor was short-tempered, so he didn't want to keep it secret anymore, and immediately told him all the strategies he had thought up.

After hearing this, Liu Hongjian laughed, suddenly felt that all the worries of tonight had disappeared, and he became looking forward to the morning morning tomorrow.

Lao Cao, you are really old and clever!

Before dawn the next day, Liu Hongjian was dressed neatly under the service of Sun Xiuxiu, he didn't even bother to eat the breakfast he had prepared, and excitedly drove to the palace.

Today's court meeting, Chongzhen chose the Huangji Hall instead of the usual Huangji Gate, and the officials knew this well.

Although their news was slightly delayed, they also knew that Liu Hongjian, Prince of Anguo County, had returned to the capital last night.

When Liu Hongjian stepped into the hall as if nothing had happened, all the courtiers glared at him and vowed in their hearts that they would treat him as a good looker later.

Liu Hongjian was completely unaware of this, and thought they were jealous of his handsomeness, so he stood at the head of the military attache's team.

After a while, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanzhi also entered the hall, and all the officials wanted to discuss with Kong Yanzhi in a low voice before Chongzhen came.

But what surprised all the officials was that Kong Yanzhi didn't seem to have this intention, he just smiled and walked to the head of the civil officials' team.

As a descendant of the most holy teacher Kong Shengren, Yan Shenggong's rank is at the head of civil servants, even above the cabinet's chief assistant.

All the officials couldn't think of Miss Qi, but Liu Hongjian was very kind in his heart, so he turned his head and looked at Kong Yanzhi.

Kong Yanzhi also turned to look at him as if he felt it, and nodded with a slight smile.

Liu Hongjian was just stunned for a moment and did not return the gift. After a while, Chongzhen walked slowly into the hall in a dragon robe. After Chongzhen waved his hand, Wang Erxi immediately shouted that if there is something to do, he will play early and leave the court if there is nothing to do.

"I have this performance!" There was only a moment of silence in the hall, and Wang Yuangu, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, came out to ask for the performance.

"Wang Aiqing, please tell me." Chongzhen had no expression on his face, what Wang Yuangu wanted to say, not to mention Chongzhen, even the little Huangmen standing beside him knew.

"My minister impeached the king of Anguo County for bullying others, forcibly shooting the people to store food, and causing chaos in Shandong!" Wang Yuangu said loudly.

"I have my own play!" Chongzhen hadn't replied yet, and Shi Bangzhao, the censor of Zuodu of the Procuratorate, also Zuo Kua stepped out of the class and asked for a play.

"Please speak, Shi Aiqing." Although Chongzhen was dissatisfied, he still suppressed his anger.

"I impeached the King of Anguo County in Shandong for the excuse of disaster relief. He entered the Confucian mansion with swords and soldiers, killed the servants of the Confucian mansion for no reason, and robbed the food. This action not only affects the reputation of the court, but also blasphemes the sage of Confucius. Your Majesty, I ask you to investigate clearly and seriously. Deal with the Anguo County King!"

After Shi Bangzhao finished speaking, he cast a glance at Liu Hongjian. After Fang Yuegong resigned, he became even more alone.

"Minister..." As soon as Shi Bangzhao finished playing, another minister came out and wanted to play, but Chongzhen waved his hand and refused.

"My dear friends, don't be so impatient. I have read all your memorials one by one. I understand what you have played."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, all the officials were not calm, and said to themselves that since you all know, why are you still in the middle?

"It's just that the Prince of Anguo County and Duke Yan Sheng are both in the palace now, why don't you listen to the words of the two before making a decision?" Chongzhen asked.

"Liu Qing, during your trip to Shandong, did you do anything to rob the people and disrupt the Confucian government?" Seeing that the officials were silent, Chongzhen asked Liu Hongjian.

"Returning to Your Majesty, as the king of the county, all I think about is how to share His Majesty's worries, how to let the people of Shandong survive the natural disaster, and how to do such things that disturb the people.

As for raising swordsmen in the Confucian mansion, it is even more nonsense, please the emperor to investigate clearly! "Liu Hongjian retorted.

"Your Majesty Liu, don't make false statements. Your Majesty sent you to Shandong to suppress the bandits, but instead of suppressing the bandits, you joined forces with the bandit leaders Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others to do such despicable things.

The matter of robbing the people by force has long been aroused, and now there are many witnesses from Shandong in the capital, all of whom were persecuted by you, Mr. Liu! "Shi Bangzhao immediately asked sharply.

"Stand back, Shi Aiqing, and listen to what Kong Aiqing has to say." Chongzhen glared at Shi Bangzhao, he had already spoken, and asked Liu and Kong to explain, why do you interrupt?

He was already extremely dissatisfied with this guy.

Shi Bangzhao got up resentfully and went back to work. If he didn't say this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but with Mr. Yan Sheng, it seemed to be more effective than him.

After all, Yan Shenggong himself is the victim, the speaker and the witness, and he has the righteousness of Confucius.

All the officials looked at Kong Yanzhi, this was a signal, and it was time for them to launch a general attack after Kong Yanzhi finished suing Anguo County King.

However, what Baiguan never expected was that Kong Yanzhi's one sentence shocked them all.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the King of Anguo County did not use weapons in the Confucian Mansion, nor did he rob the Confucian Mansion by force. The King of Anguo County just asked his ministers to talk about the old days."
