Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them coldly, and then questioned them about what Zuo Xianmei had said before.
When Zuo Yongmei heard this, she didn't argue, she just begged for mercy.
Although Cao Hu was a little hesitant, after seeing Zuo Xianmei's eyes, he actually recognized what happened before.
In order to prevent Zuo Xianmei from seeing the flaw and to see what role Liu Liangzuo played in this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be furious and reprimanded them, claiming that he would behead them.
Cao Hu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly explained that he was acting on Liu Liangzuo's order and did not know that the person coming was a holy driver, so he begged for his life.
After previous testing, Zuo Xianmei knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would never kill Cao Hu at this moment, so she also begged for mercy and led the matter to the fight between Gao Jie and Xie Sheng.
Upon hearing this, Cao Hu hurriedly told Xie Bi's collusion with Liu Liangzuo.
At first, he tried to cover up for Liu Liangzuo, but after being beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang, he had no choice but to tell the matter honestly.
It turns out that Liu Liangzuo was originally from Datong, Shanxi Province, and he and his younger brother Liu Liangchen served under Zu Dashou in his early years.
Because he fought bravely and often rode a variegated horse, he earned the nickname Liu Ma Liu.
The two brothers originally wanted to establish a great career, but they never expected that Liu Liangchen was captured and surrendered to the enemy in the Battle of Dalinghe. Although he escaped by chance, he was impeached for his brother's affairs and was dismissed from office.
Later, due to the outbreak of refugees and constant wars, the imperial court re-activated him.
Although Liu Liangzuo was not very talented, he was fierce in fighting and the rebel army was not very powerful. Although he offended many people during the few years of fighting, he still climbed to the position of chief military officer. .
Although he won two great victories after that, he did not receive any rewards because there was no one in the court.
Liu Liangzuo was disappointed and saw that other generals were occupying the territory to defend themselves, and he also began to think of occupying the territory and becoming the king.
After several efforts, he joined Lu Jiude's line, and then established his power in the Susong and Luzhou areas where he had previously fought.
After Li Zicheng invaded the capital and Liu Zeqing, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Province, fled, he originally intended to occupy Shandong, but he delayed sending troops because he was worried about the strength of the rebels.
Soon afterwards, Shi Kefa led his army to attack Shandong. He wanted to take the opportunity to seize Shandong, but he heard that Gao Jie had already occupied Liaocheng and other places.
Because he had conflicts with Gao Jie during the previous campaign, he did not want Gao Jie to become powerful, so he immediately ordered Cao Hu and Shen Bao to lead their troops to Shandong quietly to obstruct Gao Jie secretly.
Just at this time, Xie Bi's people came with a letter of introduction from Lu Jiude, inviting him to attack Gao Jie and divide Shandong equally.
Although Liu Liangzuo was happy, he knew that Xie Bi was weak and wanted to use him as a spearman, so he pretended to refuse on the grounds that Gao Jie was powerful.
After he refused to thank his Majesty, he learned that Gao Jie was fighting Ren Qi in the Puyang area, and asked Cao Hu to lead an army to sneak attack Gao Jie.
Gao Jie was suddenly attacked and felt a little panicked. In addition, Xie Bi fought with him for Liaocheng, so he led his army back.
Not long after, Emperor Xie brought someone in person. First, he thanked him for his help, and then said that he had bribed Gao Jie's confidants. As long as he led the army forward and cooperated with them inside and outside, he would be able to kill Gao Jie and others.
In order to obtain greater benefits, Liu Liangzuo still rejected Xie Bi's proposal.
It was not until later that Emperor Xie proposed to use Jinan as the boundary and all the areas east of Jinan to be assigned to him, that he reluctantly agreed, and then asked Cao Hu and others to lead the army to Liaocheng.
Cao Hu happened to meet Zuo Xianmei sisters on their way to Shandong. When he saw the appearance of the two girls, he was immediately obsessed with them, but he did not dare to act rashly because he was afraid of Zuo Liangyu.
Later, on the advice of his dog-headed military advisor Li Youcai, he was asked to lure the Zuo sisters into the game. Not only could they have a kiss, but they could also blame Zuo Liangyu for the previous insult.
Cao Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately acted according to the plan, and then what happened before happened. 33
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Cao Hu's story, he thought that Zuo Xianmei was able to set up a game within the game and play Liu Liangzuo and others in the middle of applause, so he couldn't help but glance at her again.
He saw Zuo Xianmei's angry face in fear, as if she just found out about this, and he paid more attention to her in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang then asked for some more details, and after confirming that Liu Liangzuo was not the soldier who attacked Shi Kefa, he gave them some more instructions and took Zuo Xianmei towards the front hall.
When Shi Kefa and others saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Then he saw Zuo Xianmei standing aside, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
After Zhu Yuanzhang signaled them to stand up, he secretly observed everyone's expressions.
He saw that Shi Kefa and Xie Sheng had worried expressions on their faces, while Gao Jie, Xie Bi and others looked slightly happy. Only Mr. Xing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Shi Kefa and Xie Sheng seemed to have a friendship, and Gao Jie and Xie Bi had temporarily formed an alliance in order to escape guilt.
If he attacks at the same time, it will only make them more united.
He also thought that with Xing's cunning and viciousness, even Li Chengdong was under her control. It was impossible that she had not discovered that Xie Bibi bribed Gao Jie's confidants.
If this is true, then the so-called bribed person may be a pawn of the Xing family against Xie Sheng.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gao Jie and shouted loudly: "Gao Jie, do you know your guilt?"
Gao Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then he bowed and said: "I didn't know that your majesty was coming, so I lost my etiquette. Please forgive me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Mrs. Xing first, and saw that her brows were furrowed and her expression became more worried, so he shouted and asked: "Gao Jie, let me ask you again, do you know your guilt?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry face, Gao Jie wanted to blame Zuo Xianmei as planned, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's stern eyes, he swallowed his words and lowered his head in panic.
It turned out that Gao Jie had seen Zhu Yuanzhang's various methods before when he was King Qin, and he had long been afraid of him.
Later, when he was in Shanxi, although he had never met Zhu Yuanzhang, he heard about Zhu Yuanzhang's methods afterwards. Especially when he saw the unruly Wu Sangui changing his normal behavior, he became even more afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, before taking action this time, he deliberately used the war to eradicate the Jin Yiwei in Liaocheng, just not wanting Zhu Yuanzhang to know about it, but he did not expect that the other party would come in person.
He was very panicked at that time, but fortunately after returning home, Mr. Xing told him that he had reached a consensus with Xie Sheng, and also told him about Zuo Xianmei.
He told him that if Zhu Yuanzhang was to blame, he would blame Zuo Xianmei and Zuo Liangyu for the matter.
Because he had just seen Zuo Xianmei traveling with him, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was concerned about Zuo Liangyu and had spared Zuo Xianmei, so he thought that the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to plead guilty directly, and he had no idea for a while.
"Your Majesty, my husband wants to kill brother Xie Sheng today. It is really to protect himself. Your Majesty, please be aware of this!"
Just when Gao Jie was hesitating, Mrs. Xing suddenly stepped forward and knelt down.
As soon as she said this, Xie Bi immediately shouted: "You poisonous woman, you just..."
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xing has evil intentions and attempts to kill my brother and then dominate Shandong. Your Majesty, please be aware of this!"
Xie Sheng hurriedly interrupted Xie Bi's words and knelt down to play.
Seeing this, Shi Kefa hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
Some people died, but not completely...
