Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 515 Lu Xiangsheng: Li Chaosheng Asked You to Come

Beijing.

In the past two days, the capital has been very quiet. Lu Xiangsheng is about to be beheaded. This matter is spreading rapidly. Countless people are paying attention to this matter, including Sun Chuanting who stayed in Shandong, Hong Chengchou who is in charge of Liaodong affairs, and even Including Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who are preparing to rebel.

The name Lu Xiangsheng has a charm that other people can't ignore in Ming Dynasty. He wiped out the rogue Gao Yingxiang, defeated King Li Chuang of Shanxi, defeated the Tatars of Eastern Liaodong, and recaptured Guihua City in northern Shaanxi.

The Tazi invaded Daming three times, and Lu Xiangsheng played an absolute role in each of the three times. The first time was the Jisi Change. In the second year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng personally recruited [-] troops to serve as king in Beijing.

In the second seven years of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led an army to attack Datong, but was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng and other generals, without causing too much loss.

The third time was not long ago, when the entire Daming military group was at a loss and could only watch Dorgon lead the army to invade the south, Lu Xiangsheng stood up and led the Tianxiong Army directly to the Dorgon. Ergun was destined to die in the north of Shandong, and he was not allowed to advance an inch.

How can such a great achievement be unscrupulous.

Just like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and his like, Lu Xiangsheng's name can definitely be ranked among the top three military generals of the Ming Dynasty who need to pay attention before the uprising.

But now that Lu Xiangsheng is going to be killed, the bandits are very happy, but Lu Xiangsheng's old friends are very uncomfortable, but they can't speak for Lu Xiangsheng now, because they were Lu Xiangsheng's friends before, and they were also Da Ming's courtiers, and they were still relied on by Da Ming. If they also angered Longyan, they would be taken down by Chongzhen.

Then Daming would be finished, completely hopeless.

Maybe other people can not feel sorry for this Daming, but they can't. Those who can be friends with Lu Xiangsheng, at least the current three views are not distorted, and they are still willing to sacrifice their lives for Daming, including Hong Chengchou who guards Liaodong.

"Deming, this is the specific situation of the courtiers' memorabilia these days. Hundreds of officials in the entire Ming Dynasty are all the people who have fallen into trouble. They all wish that Lu Xiangsheng would die now."

At this time, the person in charge of the secret spy department in Beijing said angrily, Li Deming was also taken aback, looked at the person in charge of the secret spy department and said, "Isn't there anyone who came up to defend Lu Xiangsheng?"

Hearing this, the secret agent sighed and said: "It's not wrong to say that one person has wronged these dog officials, but there was one person who appealed for Lu Xiangsheng's grievances, but was directly kicked out by the cabinet. Hand it over to His Majesty."

"Oh, there is one more person, who is it?"

The Secret Spy Division's humanity said: "Shi Kefa, the new servant of the household department."

"Shi Kefa."

Li Deming murmured the name after hearing this, and always felt that the name was very familiar, as if he had heard the county lord say it before, and Li Deming thought for a long time before he slapped his head and remembered, Shi Kefa, when the county lord was in school, he said that Daming had There are a few people who can do things, and Shi Kefa is one of them.

At that time, the county official said that Shi Kefa and Lu Xiangsheng were Jinshi in the same year, and Shi Kefa's ranking was still above Lu Xiangsheng, but Shi Kefa was more than righteous, less than decisive, capable, but did not know how to plan.

The county official commented at the time that this person is a great Confucian scholar, worthy of admiration, and he might become a generation of Confucian classics masters.

But being an official is very unqualified, not ruthless enough, not decisive enough to do things, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

This is Li Chaosheng's evaluation of this person, and Li Deming kept it in his heart. Looking at it today, this person is indeed more than upright and less than decisive. Lu Xiangsheng has already angered Longyan, and Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou who have made friends with him have kept their mouths shut. He said that he was afraid of getting angry, but he, Shi Kefa, wanted to commit crimes against the wind. He knew that doing so might offend Longyan, but he still had to go to the book to argue, which shows that he has a righteous heart.

Li Deming looked at the information report handed over: "The day after tomorrow Lu Xiangsheng will be beheaded for public display, we should go see him tomorrow."

The person in charge of the secret spy department said: "I have made arrangements for this matter."

"That's good."

……

The next night, Lu Xiangsheng sat alone in the prison, looking slightly lost in the moonlight shining through the skylight.

Tomorrow he was going to be beheaded. When facing death, even he couldn't help but feel a little strange, even though he was calm and ready to die.

This feeling of waiting for death is more tormenting than the fighting in the battle formation. Although the fighting in the battle formation is tragic, he does not feel fear. The tense battle keeps him focused. With an arrow, there is no pain as imagined.

But this feeling of waiting for death in loneliness is not a good feeling.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to write a poem, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find a poem that fit his current state of mind.

In the end, I couldn't help but recite Shaobao Yuqian's famous poem through the ages.

"Thousands of hammers are struck out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns like nothing. I am not afraid of broken bones. I want to stay innocent in the world."

Lu Xiangsheng slowly recited this famous poem facing the wall. It felt more emotional than when he recited it normally. He might only understand the written meaning of the poem before, but today, in this situation, reciting This poem actually feels like suddenly understanding Yu Shaobao's state of mind at that time.

clap clap clap!
After Lu Xiangsheng finished reciting a poem, he suddenly heard a burst of applause behind him. Lu Xiangsheng was still a little strange. Since Yang Sichang left, no one has visited him for three or four days. Who the hell is this time? ah?

When Lu Xiangsheng turned his head, he saw a familiar face, which he had seen not long ago.

"Li Li……"

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to call out the other party's name, but after working hard for a long time, he found that he could not remember the other party's name. He only knew that his surname was Li. Naturally, the first reaction when I came here was that the other party's surname was almost Li.

"Li Deming."

Li Deming said to Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, and followed him: "In this situation, I am very relieved that Mr. Lu has such a good mood."

Lu Xiangsheng heard the words and said: "A few days ago, we met in the barracks, but today we met in prison. It's really good fortune. It's so interesting."

Li Deming smiled and looked at the cell boss beside him and said, "The door is open."

Hearing the words, the prison head stepped forward with a smile, and opened the door of the cell. Li Deming entered the cell door with a food box, followed by waving his hand, and the cell head turned to leave, but the cell door was not closed again, as if he was not afraid of Lu Xiangsheng running away at all. average.

Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and his face was also gloomy and terrifying.

Li Deming didn't seem to see Lu Xiangsheng's expression at all, and he spread the straw evenly in the straw pile, opened the food box, and inside was a pot of wine, a plate of chili fried pork, and a plate of fried peanuts.

Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who still had a ferocious expression on his face, and said, "Grand Lu, what are you doing standing up, come and try my Lantian stir-fry, it's all my Lantian specialty, this chili fried pork tastes amazing, this deep-fried Peanuts, delicacies that go with wine, and this Lantian sweet potato roast, the king of wine, has a strong taste, I wonder if Lu Gong is used to drinking it?"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything when he heard the words, he swallowed his breath and sat down, looked at Li Deming and said: "This is the prison of officials, you don't have an official status, and you don't have a king's order, how can you get in?"

"I have money."

Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, and Lu Xiangsheng shouted with a dark face when he heard the words: "Can you do whatever you want if you have money?"

Li Deming smiled even more happily: "Yes, you can do whatever you want with money, of course, the premise is that you have the ability to keep the money, otherwise, being rich will only be a fat pig in the eyes of those in power. "

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng calmed down slowly, and said still indignantly: "If you have money, can you destroy the laws of the country? I am a death row prison, and you can enter with money, and the gate is not locked. Where is the law, and this is how the law is trampled by you."

After hearing this, Li Deming waited silently for Lu Xiangsheng to lose his temper: "Well, what you said is very right and very reasonable, but I did not destroy the law, but you scholar-officials. You made the law, And you trampled on the law by virtue of your status as dignitaries, and re-established a new rule outside the law, a rule requiring money."

"And I just followed the customs of the country, followed the rules you made, spent some money and did some things in the circle you drew, why are you so angry, Mr. Lu, besides, shouldn't you question the criminal department in charge of Tianlao when you are angry? ? You ask me, what's the use, as if I don't spend money, don't come to see you, this dirty business doesn't exist. "

Li Deming said neither humble nor overbearing, Lu Xiangsheng got angry when he heard the words, Li Deming was right, Li Deming's fault was not Li Deming's, it was they who trampled on the law and had such a dirty side to those who enforced the law in Daming.

Lu Xiangsheng sat down feebly, he could not change so much as a dying person.

Li Deming arranged the food and drink, poured a glass of wine for Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Grand Lu, please."

Lu Xiangsheng took the wine glass and drank it down. Unexpectedly, the wine was so spicy that Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help coughing a few times due to choking.

"Ah~ This wine, after drinking it again and again, the sweet potatoes from Lantian are the most burnt."

Li Deming smiled and said: "Of course, the wine in other places in Daming is rice wine, while our sweet potato burn is distilled wine, also called baijiu. The one you drink is not the strongest. The county respects that it suits the taste of Daming people. It is divided into two degrees, one is 42 degrees, which is for people who are used to drinking rice wine, and there is a stronger 53 degrees sweet potato burn, which is the real spirit."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said: "The degree, there is still a degree of degree in this wine, don't mention it, only your county officials like to make these new things."

Li Deming said: "Yes, the county lord said that he wants to set the standard for the world. Our Lantian wine industry is now very standard. There are not many loose wine workshops on the market, and all of them have been merged into our Lantian. Among the wineries, so our Lantian wine factory standards are the same."

"In the past, wine merchants often had no idea when buying wine. Sometimes, if the quality of this batch of wine was good, he would make money. If the quality was not good, he would lose money. But now after our Lantian standardized wine production, wine merchants can Go in with confidence, because every jar is the same, because of this, the supply of wine in our Lantian is in short supply, and there is still a saying in the wine industry, drink good wine, drink Lantian, every sip is guaranteed."

"Hahaha……"

Lu Xiangsheng laughed out loud when he heard this. Li Chaosheng's Lantian never let him down.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "Lantian is getting better day by day, but Daming is getting worse day by day. What can I do?"

Li Deming said: "Everything has its own law. One ebbs and another grows. The old things are replaced by new ones. It will be better, just like a dead tree, decayed and decayed, but a new seedling appears on this dead tree, borrowing the nutrients of the big tree, it can grow into a more vigorous big tree, for More birds and animals shelter from the wind and rain."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and said, "Lantian is this new big tree?"

Li Deming said without hesitation: "That's right, he is the new big tree, Daming is the rotten old tree, and you and I are both birds and beasts on the tree."

Lu Xiangsheng took another sip of wine when he heard the words, and said, "You are right, Daming is rotten."

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Li Deming said, "Grand Lu, Daming's tree is about to fall, would you like to replace it with a new one?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and shook his head when he heard the words: "I am a product of the tree of the old era, and the big tree of the new era will not have a place for me."

Li Deming said: "As long as you are willing, there will definitely be a place for you in the big tree of the new era."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Li Deming and said, "Don't bother, I will be beheaded at Caishikou tomorrow."

After hearing this, Li Deming laughed and said: "Grand Lu, this order was given to you by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you are willing to change a big tree, the imperial decree of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will have no effect on you. We can accept it at any time." Duke Lu is released from prison."

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng's face turned dark: "Do you dare to rob death row prisoners?"

Li Deming shook his head and said: "If you don't rob the court, just take you out like this, the Criminal Department won't take care of it."

"What, I am a prisoner appointed by His Majesty, how dare they let me go? They treat the law as a trifle, trample on the law, how dare they do this!"

Lu Xiangsheng roared angrily, and Li Deming laughed and said, "Haha, the laws of the Ming Dynasty were set up for the common people and the poor, and it doesn't work for you. Lu Gong, people only have one pair of eyes, which are usually white. Silver is also white, but when you cover your eyes with silver, your eyes will turn red, and if your eyes are red, they will see nothing."

"How can it be like this, I, I am a death penalty personally bestowed by His Majesty, and they dare to lie."

Li Deming looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "As long as the money is in place, the officials of Ming Dynasty, not to mention the death penalty given by the emperor, will dare to cheat even if the emperor personally supervises and executes them. Unless the emperor personally kills you with a knife, otherwise as long as the money is in place, you will die. No, Lord Lu, open your eyes and have a look, this is the Ming Dynasty you are loyal to, it is already rotten to the bone, such a Ming Dynasty, is it worthy of your burial for him!"
