"Sister Sizhen, why did they put you in a cage?" When Ajige saw that his "good sister" was also locked up, he immediately refused, "Who among you is in charge here? Come out quickly. ..."
The person guarding Fan Wencheng and Kong Sizhen was Chen Yonghua, the deputy company commander of the 11th Division of the New Army. It was Chen Yonghua who accompanied Zheng Chagu to Nanjing. At that time, he was still a teenage boy, but now He is already a twenty-year-old heroic young man. He graduated from the martial arts hall last year and was assigned to the 11th Division as a platoon leader. Now he has been promoted one level and became a company deputy.
He was escorting Fan Wencheng, Kong Sizhen and a lot of other miscellaneous people at the city gate, waiting for orders (which prison to send them to), when he saw a pretty and unruly girl running out to talk to Kong Sizhen, and she couldn't say a word he said. I couldn’t understand (Ajige was speaking Manchurian), so I strode forward.
"Where did you 'hatao' (girl) come from? Come on, go on..."
Ajige looked at this tall, thin, and somewhat dark young officer, put his hands on his hips, puffed out his small chest, and snorted: "Do you know who I am?"
Chen Yonghua looked at her, then at the eunuch following her, and already understood that this girl must be someone from the palace.
But he wasn't afraid of anything. He called Zheng Teagu "Tea Sister"!
Chen Yonghua, who had the backstage, clasped his fists: "Your subordinate, Chen Yonghua, has official duties and has been ordered to escort the criminal to Xuzhou."
"You're talking nonsense!" Ajige pointed angrily at Kong Sizhen and said, "Sister Sizhen is not a sinner!"
Chen Yonghua actually nodded and said: "Kong Sizhen is indeed not a sinner. She wanted to hitchhike on her own. There is nothing I can do!"
This is true! Kong Sizhen was originally the "hero" who betrayed Fan Wencheng, and she was not under investigation. There was no need to accompany Fan Wencheng in the prison car, but she had to follow, served Fan Wencheng all the way, and took care of her daughter. How sympathetic... What a good wife and mother!
Take a ride?
Ajige was stunned for a moment, what kind of car is not easy to take, why must he take a prison car?
Kong Sizhen had already explained at this time: "Princess, I am the slave who will accompany your husband to make the prison carriage... The husband and wife will be grateful for a hundred days, and the slave will accompany your husband for the last journey. My husband, you Do you think so?"
Fan Wencheng rolled his eyes, this good lady can really pretend! She was obviously the one who sold her to Ming Dynasty, but she still pretended to be a good wife and mother, and stayed with her all the way... This woman was not only vicious, but also scheming, incredible!
Ajige didn't know Kong Sizhen's intentions. Seeing her suffering with Fan Wencheng, he said to the eunuch beside him: "Little noble son, you guard Sister Sizhen for me, and I will go and intercede with the emperor!"
After giving the instructions, Ajige took the palace maids and guards, mounted two short fat horses, and sped away to Yunlong Mountain.
While Ajige was heading to Yunlong Mountain, Emperor Zhu was also discussing with others the issue of dealing with a traitor like Fan Wencheng.
Of course the big traitor must be severely punished!
However, how severe the punishment will be is an issue that needs to be carefully considered.
"Your Majesty, I believe that when the world is in chaos, there are many people who have taken refuge with Donglu and rogue bandits for various reasons. The court must have a clear explanation of who should be held accountable and who should not be held accountable."
The person who was speaking was Luo Yangxing, a loyal minister of the Three Dynasties. He took refuge with Li Zicheng with a certificate of loyalty. Later, after seeing the body of Hong Chengchou, he offered the city of Beijing and became a third minister. Now he has returned with Bumu Butai (Bumu Bu Tai didn't arrive, he was standing in front of him), he was the fourth minister.
Although he became a fourth minister, no one can deny that he was a loyal minister, and he was also a loyal minister in three dynasties. He was extremely loyal!
He will definitely be included in the biographies of loyal ministers in the future.
The reason why he did not hang out slowly with Bumu Butai, but came directly to Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, was to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty - he had to remonstrate with Emperor Zhu and ask Emperor Zhu to properly deal with traitors and Donglu, especially traitors.
"That's natural!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, seeming to agree with Luo Yangxing's words - it's still reasonable to be a traitor!
This Luo Yangxing's face is really as thick as the city wall!
Luo Yangxing didn't know what Emperor Zhu was thinking, so he went on to say: "I believe that the most important criteria for whether they are guilty or not, whether they are guilty or not, whether they should be pardoned or not, is whether they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty or not. Their actions Is it good or bad for Ming Dynasty?"
this......
Emperor Zhu had to admit that Luo Sichen's thinking was clear!
Zhu Cixiang cannot look at the problem from the standpoint of the nation, but must look at the problem from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty.
Because he must regard Ming Dynasty as the orthodox representative of China's fundamental interests!
Otherwise, he himself would not be able to stand on his own.
Luo Yangxing twirled his gray beard and said slowly: "The catastrophe caused by the Hulu invasion of the Central Plains was ultimately due to someone opening Shanhaiguan! And the Ming Dynasty was revived... but it was also because of borrowing teachers to help suppress it! And Your Majesty On the same day, he also issued an edict to Wu Sangui, ordering him to abandon Shanhaiguan and go south. Did he also have the intention of letting the barbarians enter the pass and fight against the rogue bandits?"
What a good Luo Yangxing!
Zhu Cixiang remained silent.
Luo Yangxing added: "If the top priority was to keep the barbarians out, the generals in Shanhaiguan would have to surrender to the bandits... Because Beijing fell, logistics was cut off, and the soldiers were frightened. Only by surrendering to the new master could they boost their morale.
And once the troops in Shanhaiguan surrender to the bandits, will their surname be Li or Zhu? "
Zhu Cixiang remained silent.
He knew the key to the problem in Luo Yangxing's point... The Ming Dynasty abandoned Beijing and withdrew to Shanhaiguan, which was tantamount to abandoning the northern stop loss and temporarily abandoning orthodoxy. And Li Zicheng took on China's destiny in a short period of time.
Shanhaiguan was a time bomb left by the Ming Dynasty to Li Zicheng, which blew up Li Zicheng's destiny in one fell swoop.
The Ming Dynasty is now revived because Li Zicheng lost his destiny, otherwise Zhu Cixiang would have been dead for many years...
Luo Yangxing snorted again: "I have personally experienced the Tianqi of the Jiashen years, and I have experienced the Shun and Qing thieves in the past ten years. I know best what kind of people they are, and I can see clearly the hearts of the people in Beizhili." ...When the bandits didn't come, I looked forward to Li Zicheng day and night. When the bandits came, I started to miss the Ming Dynasty again. When the Donglu came to kill me, I felt that Li Zicheng was okay again.
When the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, how much money did he ask for from officials and people in Northern Zhili? During his seventeen years in power, I don’t know if he took 20 million from them? They still feel bad! We also have to sing to welcome King Chuang. Later, after Li Zicheng came for more than a month, he looted 30 to 40 million yuan. He took so much money, but the city of Beijing was never defended even for a day!
If it were Dorgon again, just by occupying a house or enclosing land, he would get hundreds of millions of properties. I don’t know how many families would be destroyed! However, most of this suffering is self-inflicted. "
At that time, most areas in the north were singing to welcome King Chuang, and everyone was very happy. At that time, what else could Zhu Cixi do without losing money? Lose everything to defend Shanhaiguan for Li Zicheng? Even if he could agree, those people at Shanhaiguan would kidnap him and sell him to Dorgon... Li Zicheng entered Beijing and tortured him, and it was impossible for Li Zicheng to provide food and supplies to the 40,000 to 50,000 people at Shanhaiguan. Yin, if these people want to eat and survive, it is almost certain that they will seek refuge with Donglu!
"Haha," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "I understand... Although it was not my purpose to borrow my teacher's help in the suppression, it did save the Ming Dynasty, so it is not a crime, but a merit!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhu Cixiang asked: "Then what are the crimes of traitors and the crimes of Donglu?"
Luo Yangxing said: "The crime of treason, aiding the captives and the imperial court's enemies, the crime of betraying alliances and plundering land, the crime of slaughtering cities indiscriminately, the crime of robbing Confucius... Taken together, they are all heinous crimes!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded, convinced: "That's it... That Fan Wencheng should be able to commit heinous crimes, right?"
Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "This man deserves to be executed in Lingchi! The old minister suggested that he kill Bumu Butai... If his son Jin Fulin dares to commit the ten evil crimes, he will not be able to escape in the future!"
