Blood from Daming

Chapter 851

Emperor Chongzhen called Yang Sichang here to discuss countermeasures with him. He wanted to punish Emperor Chongzhen for the most serious crime. Xue Jiajun's thunderous strike brought about today's evil results.

In fact, even if Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to deal with the Xue family army, with the fighting power of the Xue family army, the imperial court had almost no chance of winning. The final result was that the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, and when it returned to the situation of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Xue family army would probably win in the end, but Daming at that time was worse than it is now I don't know how many times.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's because I don't know who I employ, so what should I do with you?"

Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, arrest the remnants of the Xue family immediately, and don't let anyone slip through the net."

Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, said: "The emperor said, all Xue's family members in the capital have been imprisoned, and no one has escaped. I can put Xue's family members in prison at any time."

Emperor Chongzhen had no intention of arresting the Xue family at all. In the second year of Chongzhen (the second year of Chongzhen), Xue Rui and Xue Aoren became abandoned sons. These years, Xue Zong, Xue Shisan, and Xue Bo have made great achievements in the Southern and Northern Wars, especially in recent years. For two years, Xue Zong, Xue Shisan, and Xue Bo fought Wenxiangjiao and the rebel Huang Xida supported by Xue's army. Although they fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly, they were not discouraged and fought tenaciously with Wenxiangjiao and Huang Xida.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Luo Aiqing, it's enough for Xue's family to keep an eye on him. Well, go and verify Xue Yun's real identity."

Luo Yangxing quickly bowed and agreed, and Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou, governor of Shaanxi Province, and Sun Chuanting, governor of Shaanxi Province, have led their troops north to King Qin. Once the army of King Qin from all walks of life arrives, they will definitely wipe out the Datong rebels under the city of Beijing."

Emperor Chongzhen signaled to Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Luo Yangxing said: "Master Yang, in addition to the Datong rebels of Xue's army, the Xue's army who supported Gaoyang City and Julu County and rescued Sun Ge's old Lu Jiandou should not be underestimated."

Emperor Chongzhen wondered: "What is going on with Sun Chengzong, Lu Jiandou and Xue Jiajun?"

Yang Sichang hated Luo Yangxing for deliberately revealing about Lu Xiangsheng, but he didn't dare to face the emperor directly, so he hinted that Cao Huachun, the admiral and eunuch of Dongchang, would speak for him. His Majesty, according to Fanzi’s report, the Xue family’s army had persuaded Sun Chengzong and Lu Jiandou to submit to the rebel Xue Yun, and many descendants of Sun Chengzong and Lu Jiandou’s generals had already submitted to the rebel Xue Yun.”

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a while and said: "In this way, Sun Chengzong and Lu Jiandou are not attached to rebellion."

Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and a scholar of Dongge University, said: "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong has already retired, but Lu Jiandou has lost his teacher and humiliated the country and employs unknown people, so he asked Yousi to keep him for questioning."

Yang Sichang gave Lu Xiangsheng a chance, saying that Lu Xiangsheng lost his teacher and humiliated the country. How could it be possible to win the battle of the inlaid white flag at a high speed? As for Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of the Xuanfu, and Hu Dawei, the general soldier of Shanxi, Lu Xiangsheng can appoint and remove them. Lu Xiangsheng is the blame for these two people's defection to the Xue family army. There is no reason to suffer.

Emperor Chongzhen was very dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng who lost his army and fled back to the capital. Since Dongchang detained Lu Xiangsheng for questioning, Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to make Lu Xiangsheng suffer, so he didn't ask about Lu Xiangsheng again. Hong Chengchou, governor of the three sides, and Qin Wangjun, governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting, arrived to make plans again, and Gao Qiqian, whom Emperor Chongzhen placed high hopes on, was the one.Only more than 1 people from the Ningyuan Army fled back to the Fifth Army Camp in the south of the capital. Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, and Luo Yangxing did not dare to tell Emperor Chongzhen the news.

On the second day of Banwan (the 23rd of the first lunar month), in fact, it was Banwan that day. In the royal study of Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City, in addition to the original four people, Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, and Luo Yangxing, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of Youqian capital were added. Chen Xinjia and the Xue family's army pressed the border from north to south, and the atmosphere of Chongzhen's monarchs and ministers was very dignified.

Cao Huachun spoke first: "Your Majesty, the leading general of Xue's army outside Yongding Gate is Xue Polu, the former general of the Beijing camp, with about [-] to [-] troops."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Xue Polu, didn't he die in Liaodong Bay long ago."

Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, this is what Jin Yiwei knows best."

Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Luo Yangxing. Luo Yangxing thought that Cao Huachun, you villain, what time is it, and you are playing smart in order to shirk responsibility. Xue Aoren, according to Xue Aoren's confession that Xue Yun was not born by him, and Xue Polu has been hiding on Taiwan Island in the East China Sea."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed angrily: "Xue Yun's origin is unknown, Xue Polu has been hiding in Taiwan Island for a long time, what do you Jinyiwei and Dongchang do, you really deserve to die."

Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing were so frightened that they "thumped" and knelt down on the ground. The two repeatedly claimed that they were guilty of death. Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "What is Xue Yun's life experience?"

Luo Yangxing quickly replied: "Your Majesty, according to Xue Rui's account, Xue Yun is an orphaned baby picked up when the White Lotus Sect was exterminated in the past. Gao Qiang's couple are willing to serve Xue Yun as slaves, and Weichen is also working for (Qiankun Sunyue Order). After checking the files of the past, Xue Rui and Xue Yun are both (Qiankun Sunyue Order) personnel who wiped out Bailian in the past The battle of religion was based on a secret report that the surnamed Keqing who was befriended by the saintess of the White Lotus Sect was a remnant of Jianwen. The Xue Yun picked up may also be the aftermath of Jianwen's remnants."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that Xue Yun might be the Empress of Jianwen, and thought that this Xue Yun was really scheming, and he actually forbeared to stand still for more than ten years. He began to think that Xue Yun was just protecting himself, and he was going to boil a frog in warm water to get rid of Xue Yun. Later, Xue Yun's various behaviors, pretending to be sick and unwilling to return to the court to be an official, holding the Mongolian border to hold his own, and going away to Mobei without a trace these years, are all deliberately evading the imperial court's drinking and releasing military power.

The news that Xue Yun may be the remnant of Jianwen surprised Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, and Chen Xinjia. If Xue Yun can produce real evidence and prove that he is Emperor Jianwen, then Xue Yun will be considered as the restoration of the clan. Officials will stand by and stand by Xue Yun, and Xue Yun's resistance to seizing the country will be much less.

At this time, the five people in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, Chen Xinjia, and Luo Yangxing, had their own plans. It goes without saying that Wang Chengen was the diehard loyalist of Emperor Chongzhen; The army arrived for the last fight; Cao Huachun knew the strength of Xue's army, Cao Huachun, who was afraid of death, wanted to contact Xue's army, but thought that he had offended Xue's army too hard before, and now he was still hesitating; Chen Xinjia thought to himself, since Xue Yun is also the Ming royal family, As long as Xue Yun is willing to reuse him, he will do the work of a dog and a horse. If Xue Yun doesn't need him, he can pack up his official bag and go back to his hometown in Sichuan to live a long life. However, Luo Yangxing's close relationship with Xue Yun in the past has not been in these years. Deliberately offending the Xue family army, he was ready to change his banner. In fact, just this afternoon, Luo Yangxing had already met the secret envoy of the Xue family army in the capital, and now Luo Yangxing was more acting out Infernal Affairs.

Emperor Chongzhen asked feebly, "Where is Xue Yun now?"

Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, Chen Xinjia, and Luo Yangxing looked at each other, and after a while Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, Xue Liu is in the north of the capital, Xue Er Xue Polu is in the south, Xue Wu is in Zhending Mansion, and Luo Er, a fugitive from Liaodong, is in Tianjin." Baby, this way of thinking, the Xue family army has no news about Xue Yun, these four leading generals are all slaves of the Xue family."

Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, Xue Ni's minions jumped out eagerly this time when Jianlu invaded the capital. They must have been instructed by Xue Ni. I think Xue Ni should be on the way back from Tuxietu Khan's tribe to Daming."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since I ascended the throne for 12 years, the Bode bandits have gone up to the heavens to anger, causing the rebels to rampant, and the Eastern captives went straight to the capital. However, all the ministers misunderstood me. If Xue Yun is really good after Jianwen, he will treat the clan officials and gentry well." People, it's not a bad idea to step back from him."

Wang Chengen, Yang Sichang, Cao Huachun, Chen Xinjia, and Luo Yangxing knew that it was time to test their loyalty. The five of them shouted in unison, but Yang Sichang and Cao Huachun objected hoarsely. In Yang Sichang's words, within ten months, the imperial court could gather a million kings. It is not difficult to defeat Xue Ni's rebel army.

Yang Sichang suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: arrest Xue Rui, Xue Aoren and all Xue family members, and the emperor issued an imperial decree promising high-ranking officials and rich salary, recruiting generals at all levels of the Xue Rebel Army, and urgently dispatching Zheng Zhilong and Zhang Xianzhong, who had grievances with the Xue family army, King Qin, even Li Zicheng could use them , It is rumored that Xue Jiajun is also a deadly enemy for Li Zicheng.

Yang Sichang went to the doctor in a hurry, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to give up his throne, so he had to let Yang Sichang's dead horse be a living horse doctor, but he didn't agree to arrest Xue Rui, Xue Aoren and others. A group of sons and daughters don't want to rush Xue Yun, but also want to continue to use Xue Zong, Xue Shisan, and Xue Bo.

Emperor Chongzhen decreed that Cao Huachun, the governor of the Beijing camp, would call back Gao Qiqian and Wang Pu to defend the capital, and wait for Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and other troops to arrive. He thought he was smart, but in fact Gao Qiqian and Wang Pu retreated into the outer city of the capital at noon that day.
