There are no heroes under torture, and even if there are, it is obviously not this person, just because death is easy and can be solved with a poison pill, but it is too difficult to live without death!
Half an hour later, Chang Yu walked out of the execution room, sighed up to the sky, and then waved his hand to Fanzi next to him, leaving him to Lao Jiu as a drug introduction.
Sure enough, they were sent by thieves. Although his troops retreated to the other side of the Yellow River, the force they left behind was still very large. The green forest roads of the three mountains and five mountains, the Jianghu people of the three religions and nine streams, and the bewitched poor people were all his people. What a shame!
This force, Li Zicheng, naturally would not let them idle. He could not do it openly but secretly used eye drops. On the one hand, he contacted various green forest roads to let them recharge their batteries and prepare for the next move. On the other hand, he planned to assassinate his nemesis Chang Yu. He would not stop until death. That kind of thing.
"All the people are thieves, there is no way to guard against them!" Chang Yu sighed while holding a tea cup in the lobby of the other courtyard. According to the thief's confession, the intruder issued a pursuit order on Green Forest Road, and whoever killed the eunuch of Dongchang would be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 liang. Dashunhou. In addition, Li Zicheng also dispatched a team of capable troops from his side to sneak into the east bank of the Yellow River to plot the assassination.
Do you think that's all?
Impossible. In addition to Li Zicheng, his subordinates Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and other thieves also sent people into the country to plot evil. In addition to assassinating him, they also had to cause trouble. Only by making the Ming court miserable could Xi'an take a breather and live in peace for a few more days.
For this reason, Li Zicheng also sent a military advisor to the country to plan all this. However, the thief who confessed did not know the specific identity of the military advisor, had never seen anyone, and did not know where he was. He might be incarnated in a certain city, or he might be hiding. In the mountains and wilderness.
"It's a bit too much to say that all the people are thieves. After all, there are still many people who think that the imperial court is good." Zhu Cixi bit his lips: "For example, the people in Taiyuan City say that our imperial court is good."
Chang Yu nodded and smiled bitterly: "But the reality in front of us now is that saying that thieves are good is far better than saying that the court is good. Now that the two armies are facing each other with the Yellow River as the boundary, no one can be sure of the people's aspirations on both sides of the river. Fortunately, one day I walked to the field and suddenly a knife struck me."
"I don't know what these common people think. How could the thieves treat them well? They burned, killed, looted, and used them as cannon fodder, leaving their families and families broken up. Yet they still say that the court is not good. This is stupidity and stupid people!" Zhu Cixiang was angry! He stood up and roared loudly. Chang Yu stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "No matter how stupid or foolish they are, their minds are filled with the cakes drawn by the intruders, but what they see and hear is the imperial court's violent taxation. Corrupt officials plunder the people's wealth and their wealth... Hehehe, people, you never think that things you can't touch are good. In fact, you will find out after you touch them that they are all the same! Even if a thief takes over the world, he will really Is Zhengqing reconciled? Fuck it."
It took Zhu Cixiang a while to calm down, but he began to worry about Chang Yu again: "The intruders launched the Three Religions and Nine Streams Green Forest Road and sent people into the country. Regardless of your safety, there will be no peace along the Yellow River. What are you going to do? how to respond?"
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth." Chang Yu sighed slightly: "I don't care at all about the thieves' assassinations. They are not good at it, and they are even worse at playing tricks. What I worry about is whether the thieves will be able to do it. Take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"For example?" Zhu Cixiang frowned.
"Small-scale riots, rebellion, or secret assassinations of officials." Chang Yu's face was solemn: "It seems that the dosage of the medicine must be heavier."
"You mean... strike first, arrest the thieves before they cause trouble, or increase the intensity of the search so that they have no place to stand?" Zhu Cixiang asked, and Chang Yu nodded: "That's what you said. It's just one of them. If we are still too passive and want to be the master instead..."
"Send a group of troops to cross the river to the west!" Zhu Cixiang was able to get through with it, and Chang Yu nodded: "Li Yan can do this."
How to operate this kind of thing, Zhu Cixiang knew that he couldn't make any suggestions or get involved. Chang Yu and Li Yan must have their own strategies to deal with it. He had great trust in Chang Yu, and now that he had a strategy to deal with it, he felt a little more relaxed. A little, not as tense as before, he picked up the tea cup and blew on it: "After going around in a circle, it's still the work of intruders, but it can also clear the suspicion of those in Beijing."
Chang Yu looked at him like a fool when he heard this: "Young man, you may have read thousands of books, but you have also traveled thousands of miles. Why are you still so naive? I just want to ask you, if someone in Beijing hadn't leaked the secret, you How was the identity and whereabouts leaked?”
This... Zhu Cixiang was startled and then said: "You said that the relatives of the emperor and even the court officials in the capital can bribe the eunuchs and maids in the palace to find out the news, but those thieves can't do it either!"
Chang Yu nodded: "It is impossible for the thief to have been in business for more than ten years without setting up spies in the city. Naturally, he also has the opportunity to buy spies in the palace. However, in the past six months, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been raiding the capital in large numbers, and the thief's power has long been eliminated. The cleaning has been done, and even if there are some fish that are lucky enough to slip through the net, it will be difficult to do anything. More importantly, the only people who know that you and Ajiu came out are the palace maids and eunuchs serving around you. How can these people be outsiders who can do it casually? They are bribed, and they will not give this information to people who don’t understand it casually.”
"Then according to what you said, after returning to the capital, you only need to interrogate the eunuchs and maids around the East Palace and Kunxing to find out who they passed the news to, and then follow the clues." Zhu Cixiang raised his eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, often Yu shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they casually told the other eunuchs and maids, and passed it on to ten, and then to hundreds... Okay, I understand what you mean, but there is always a high probability that the thief of this news is not The first-hand information is likely to come from some relatives of the emperor."
"Where it comes from depends on your Dongchang's methods. As the head of Dongchang, the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all under your control. It's time to beat them up. You are usually too friendly to them. Just let that person who doesn't know how to restrain himself bite his nose and face." Zhu Cixi smiled and Chang Yu shook his head: "Don't wear such a high hat, I am the owner of the East Factory, not the handprint and pen of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. It would be bad to spread this word. , but it’s enough to take care of them.”
Zhu Cixiang wanted to continue talking, but he stopped and sighed: "I am the one who got into trouble. I can't just think that this is the crime of a robber. After all, if I want to cause trouble now, I want to There are too many people who want to kill you. In addition to the thieves, there are also many people on the Tatar side who want you dead. There are nobles in the capital, countercurrents in the army, and even Zuo Liangyu, who is temporarily against you, or who has surrendered. The thieves, soldiers, and generals are all likely to kill you, and it’s not impossible that they have something to do with each other.”
Chang Yu stood up and walked to the door, looking up at the sky: "It's boring to grind and moan every day. I only look forward to a happy fight!"
"My father once said that you are too competitive and have a nature to kill, but it happens that we need someone like you right now. It is a blessing for my family." Zhu Cixiang chuckled lightly, while Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "I would rather be beaten endlessly. I didn't want to get involved in the disputes in the court. From the day I took office as the governor of Dongchang, I thought about not being Wei Zhongxian, not fighting with the party, and spending all my energy on suppressing the chaos and suppressing the bandits. Later I found out that I They are too young, and they are deeply involved in it without knowing it. They can’t help themselves, they can’t help themselves.”
"It sounds like you are blaming my father for dragging you into this." Zhu Cixiang couldn't help laughing. Chang Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't force me to do something that is unreasonable."
"Did you ask Qing Yi to go to Sanli Academy?" At this moment, Su Jing came over and interrupted the conversation between the two. Chang Yu was startled: "How did you know?"
"That day you promised Fu Qingzhu good tea, and today you ordered Qingyi to bring tea to work. After thinking about it, it should be to Sanli Academy." Su Jing said calmly, Chang Yu touched his palm and said, "You know the slightest thing, you are very powerful now."
He praised her, and a faint smile appeared on her plain face: "Just send me some tea and a boy. Why do you let a little Taoist nun go to that crowd of men?"
Hmm... Chang Yu paused for a moment, with a half-smile on his face: "Because I asked her to fight."
