Concubine

Chapter 202 Ming Orthodoxy
Xu Qin said to Yang Qiuchi: "Who are you? Can you tell me."

Yang Qiuchi said: "My surname is Yang. As for my identity, I can't say it for the time being. The father-in-law should know in the future." Having said this, his face sank, "I know, everything in Wuchang City is yours. It was planned behind the scenes, am I right?"

A trace of approval appeared on Xu Qin's face: "Oh, what does Master Yang know?"

"Your father Xu Huizu was loyal and loyal to Jianwen, and led the army to fight against the king, but the emperor's grace was so great that he didn't pursue it afterwards. Instead, he let you inherit your father's title, but you didn't want to be grateful. Instead, like your father, he plotted to rebel and restore Emperor Jianwen, right?"

Xu Qin said coldly: "Grateful? It's just a fake sympathy for cats and mice—you continue to talk, and I'm listening."

"Last year, there was a locust plague for hundreds of miles in Wuchang Prefecture, and the crops were not harvested. You have predicted that there will be a large number of hungry people. If you do something about the imperial court's disaster relief, it will cause a large number of people to flee the famine. If you use it at that time, it will cause chaos. .”

"First you secretly instigated Mi Yuanwai to let his domestic slaves spread the news that only Wuchang Mansion released food for disaster relief, and other places did not release food. Then you recruited hungry people from hundreds of miles around to Wuchang City."

"Then, you ordered Mi Yuanwai to use a huge amount of bribes to coerce the chief envoy and Tan Zhifu to submit, and transferred all the two disaster relief food to Mi Yuanwai, and spent a lot of money to buy the bodyguards of the Changsha Escort Bureau, and let them burn down the chief secretary's office. An empty granary. On the one hand, it makes the disaster relief fail, and on the other hand, it stimulates the desperation of the hungry people, putting them in a crisis of survival, and it can finally be used by you."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi asked a little puzzled: "Is there no suitable candidate for the person who set the fire in the capital? Why did you go to Changsha to invite him? And you want to go in person?"

Xu Qin said: "It's okay to tell you, anyway, they won't be able to survive after doing this—the head of the bodyguard bureau was in the capital at the time, and the head of the bodyguard used to be one of my father's personal soldiers."

Yang Qiuchi understood now, nodded, and continued: "That's right, you asked Mi Yuanwai to instruct the slaves to spread the news that the prefect's yamen will release grain tonight, and let the bodyguards set fire to the granary again, and instigate Rushing into the yamen to grab food."

"If we hadn't extinguished the fire in time, stabilized the mood of the hungry people, and killed and captured the domestic slaves outside the Mi Yuan who incited the grain grabbing in time, your plot should have succeeded."

Xu Qin sneered and said, "Conspiracy? What conspiracy of mine?"

"The hungry people rushed to the government to grab food. In the chaos, your people will kill the court officials such as Quan Buzhengshi. When the hungry people find that there is no food and the court officials are killed, they will find that they have nowhere to go. situation."

"At this time, Mi Yuanwai will push you out, and with the appeal of your father Xu Huizu's swearing allegiance to Jianwen to the death, he will unfurl the orthodox banner of the Ming Dynasty. Mi Yuanwai will then open a warehouse to release grain, erect a recruitment flag, and have his own grain eaters. The hungry people who have no way to go have already killed officials and grabbed food to rebel. They are all grasshoppers on the same line. They are dead on the left and right. What else can they choose? Rebelling with you is their only way."

"The reason why you came to Wuchang City in person this time is that you intend to play the role of raising your arms tonight. You have tens of thousands of hungry people in your hands to form an army. This Wuchang City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are enough people in the city. Your army has enough food for more than a year. It is easy to defend Wuchang City."

"As long as you defend Wuchang City and fire the first shot (like the Nanchang uprising), the news will spread, and the rest of the Jianwen party will naturally respond. At that time, the world will be in chaos and gunpowder will be everywhere. The orthodox ideal has also seen the light of day.——What a pity, you have met me!"

Xu Qin applauded and praised: "Master Yang, you are really amazing! My small skills still cannot escape your eyes, I admire you! No wonder Master Yang became the special envoy of the Jinyiwei Commander at such a young age!"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback: "You know me?"

Xu Qin sneered: "You have Jinyiwei, don't we? Master Yang, let me tell you, since you have chosen to be our enemy, you will not have a good life. I hope that when you go to bed every day, pray and open your eyes." I can still see the sun the next day!"

Yang Qiuchi said brazenly: "If you dare to walk at night, you will not be afraid of ghosts!"

Xu Qin praised again: "Good! Well said, he is a man!" After a pause, he sighed, "If we have a few more men like you, why worry about the loss of orthodox Ming Dynasty!"

"Then have you ever thought about it? Once you become famous and die, how many people will be displaced and their families will be destroyed when there is a war? Take your Wuchang City as an example, because you used conspiracy and tricks to cause hundreds of thousands of hungry people." Starved to death on the street! How can you bear it?"

Xu Qin said: "Which dynasties and dynasties are not matched with human bones? For the sake of the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, what's the point of sacrificing a few people? After the emperor restores the country, he will sympathize with the people and reduce or exempt taxes."

This is the truth. Although Emperor Jianwen was weak by nature, he really had nothing to say to the common people, and he could be regarded as a good emperor.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to debate this with him, so he sighed: "Aren't you afraid of the king's law when you instigate rebellion? You must know that although you are Wei Guogong, the current emperor may not allow you to commit treason and treason."

Xu Qin blatantly said: "The law of the king? What is the law of the king who steals the country! Now that you know my identity, of course you should know that my Xu family is loyal and loyal for generations.

"However, it is Emperor Jianwen of Ming Dynasty, not Zhu Di! Zhu Di seeks power and usurps the throne. He is heinous. He can usurp the throne, but he can't stop the people from all over the world! My father died for the emperor. Although I am unworthy, I will I swear to the death to restore the orthodoxy of Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Qiuchi said: "Even if you are willing to die for this, don't drag other people. For example, Mi Yuanwai, he is a rich man and lives a good life. Why do you follow you to plot rebellion? Didn't you force him to do so? Thief ship."

Xu Qin said: "You're wrong! I didn't force Mi Yuanwai, and there's no need to force him. He was originally a strong man who swore to the death to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty! Since you have found out that he instigated food robbing and treason, he has already fallen into the hands of your Jin Yiwei." , This time, I am afraid that disaster is doomed, so it’s okay to say it. During the battle of Jingnan, Mi Yuanwai supported Long Live’s army. After Zhu Di stole the throne, Mi Yuanwai has been secretly funding and conspiring with the restoration plan.”

"Although Mi Yuanwai is just a merchant, he is a tough guy who is not afraid of death. Just like what you said just now, 'If you dare to walk at night, you are not afraid of ghosts'! Since we want to take this road, we have tied our lives and wealth to On the waistband. In order to restore the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing to spill my blood!"

This impassioned statement stunned Yang Qiuchi, Luo Qianhu and the others. There was silence in the arena, only the heavy panting of Xu Qin's passion.

This Xu Qin is really worthy of the nickname "Xu Tietou".Xu Qin's words made Yang Qiuchi figure out a question - why is Mi Yuanwai so fearless?Although the two masters of the Xu family are related to him, Mi Yuanwai, he didn't rely on the protection they could give him to save him from death. What Mi Yuanwai held was the spirit of dedicating himself to his ideal of restoring the orthodoxy of Ming Dynasty.

If a person already has the determination to die generously in his heart and is ready to die, can death still make him feel terrible?He threatened Yang Qiuchi with his relationship with the royal relatives, but it was just a last-ditch effort to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. When such sacrifices became inevitable, he would die generously.

Yang Qiuchi admires Mi Yuanwai from the bottom of his heart, this short and fat man is wealthy, but he doesn't want to be content with the status quo and live a happy life, but for his own ideal of maintaining the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, he resolutely chose this path. Lu, no matter whether his dedication is worth it or not, at least his spirit is enough for people to respect him.

Yang Qiuchi said slowly: "In this case, please come with us. You are a relative of the emperor. I will report to the emperor and act according to the order."

After Xu Qin gradually calmed down, he nodded: "Master Yang, I will go with you. However, I have an unfeeling request, please make it easier for me."

"You want to bring Hong Ling by your side to accompany you, right?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

Xu Qin was very surprised: "Master Yang is indeed talented and intelligent. I wonder if it is possible?"

"Sorry, I can't decide on that."

"Who can decide? Mi Yuanwai? He will definitely agree."

"Miss Hong Ling is Mi Yuanwai's concubine, but Mi Yuanwai is involved in the case of rebellion, and he himself is still waiting for the emperor to deal with him. How can he deal with others?"

Xu Qin was taken aback, and asked: "Then who is the person who can decide what Master Yang said?"

"Miss Hongling herself!" Yang Qiuchi said slowly, "Miss Hongling is a living person, not a thing. Of course, she should decide whether to stay or not."

Although the status of concubines in ancient times was stronger than that of maidservants, there was still not much personal freedom. The law stipulated: "Concubines can be bought and sold." It is legal to sell, exchange or even give away one's concubines. No room for objection.Yang Qiuchi suddenly said to let Hong Ling girl decide her own destiny, which of course made Hong Ling very surprised.

Yang Qiuchi turned his head to look at Hong Ling, only to see that she was looking up in surprise, her red lips trembling slightly, tears of gratitude slowly welled up in her beautiful Danfeng's eyes.

Xu Qin nodded: "Master Yang is right." Turning to look at Hong Ling: "Miss Hong Ling, are you willing to go with me?"
