Chapter 88 Completely Giving Up
"My lord, then Feng Yuanbai and others have already gone to the palace to ask for the imperial decree." In the cabinet, Minister of War Liang Tingdong said softly to a middle-aged man.This person has a thin face and an extremely elegant appearance. Who is he if he is not Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet.After all, he was born as the No. [-] scholar, and his temperament is not bad.

"So what? This time, what crime is this old man?" Zhou Yanru asked casually, without any change in expression, obviously there was no change at all because of the impeachment of Sun Sanjie and others.

"Recently there have been rumors in Beijing that the Jiannu Azig died not at the hands of Wu Sangui, but at the hands of Li Xin, and the elder Ge was given such a great service because of his rift with Li Xin and because he received money from the Wu family and his son. I gave it to Wu Sangui." Liang Tingdong said with his head down.In fact, this matter has a lot to do with him, Liang Tingdong. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is also guilty of assuming that such a great achievement belongs to Wu Sangui without investigation and confirmation.

"Hehe. Who is this old man, how could he have a feud with that Li Xin? What is he, Li Xin, do I still need this old man to remember him? If this old man wants to crush Li Xin to death, it is as easy as crushing an ant. Why is it so big? What about trouble?" Zhou Yanru said disdainfully: "As for the credit for beheading Azig, hey, whoever sent this head is the credit for that."

"This?" Liang Tingdong was taken aback when he heard the words. He agreed with the former, but he disagreed with the latter.

"Tingdong, do you think the credit for beheading Azig was given to Wu Sangui by the old man?" Zhou Yanru suddenly said with a smile.

"Your official, I don't understand." Liang Tingdong was a little curious now.

"The Holy One is smart, how can he not know the reason behind this? With Wu Sangui and his 6000 troops, can they really kill Azig? Hehe, no matter who actually killed Azig, we It must be determined that he died at the hands of Wu Sangui, or simply at the hands of the Wu family." Zhou Yanru sighed.

"Why?" Liang Tingdong was completely confused.He didn't understand why Zhou Yanru said that, and said it so bluntly.

"Because the Holy Majesty needs a new Guanning iron cavalry, this Guanning iron cavalry can deter the outsiders. And the Wu family father and son are obviously the best choice." Zhou Yanru also frowned. He originally made friends with the Wu family father and son. It was because he could see the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, he himself also had a heart, and wanted to hold the Wu family and his son in his hands.Unfortunately, things can change too quickly.The Wu family father and son had a lot of affection for him, and often ordered people to send some Liaodong treasures, but this Li Xin came out of the sky, defeated Jiannu, and rescued Zu Dashou and his Guanning iron cavalry Come out, compared with Wu Sangui and his son, Zu Dashou has the oldest qualifications in Liaodong, and he is also the well-deserved leader of Guanning Iron Cavalry. Now Zhou Yanru's painstaking efforts were in vain.It's just that he is not afraid at this moment, because everything he did at that time was in Emperor Chongzhen's mind.

And what he has to do right now is to keep Li Xin out of the court. It would be best if he could kill Li Xin.Because only Li Xin understands the reason for this, of course it has a lot to do with Li Xin's father, Li Gu.

"So that's how it is." Liang Tingdong suddenly realized, and looked at Zhou Yanru with strange eyes. No wonder this guy is so powerful, but he has become the chief minister of the cabinet in his 30s. Among the civil and military, apart from Wang Chengen who followed His Majesty in Qiandi, there is only Zhou Yanru.

"It's a joke that these people want to move to me based on this matter." Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "First of all, regardless of the fact that this matter is approved by His Majesty, the most important thing is that they are not polite. Who is Li Xin? He is just a criminal, and this person can have two thousand soldiers, so do he want to rebel? These people may be rebellious if they speak for a person who wants to rebel."

"The meaning of the old man, I understand." Liang Tingdong was stunned when he heard the words, and instantly understood what Zhou Yanru meant. Liang Tingdong was in charge of the Ministry of War. The Dudufu of the Five Armies does not have any rights at all, and the Ministry of War is still the Ministry of War.Liang Tingdong has the right to speak to any army of Ming Dynasty.In front of Zhou Yanru, Liang Tingdong immediately ordered Li Xin's troops to be handed over to Zu Dashou.That Zhou Yanru saw it clearly, and nodded involuntarily.

In fact, as Zhou Yanru said, Emperor Chongzhen did not embarrass Zhou Yanru in this matter, and what Zhou Yanru did was what Chongzhen thought at that time, so he pardoned Li Xinzhi's crime. That's all. As for Sun Sanjie and others, they didn't reprimand them too much, they just asked them to go home and think about their mistakes behind closed doors.

Of course, for the capital, these things often happen in the capital. What Sun Sanjie and others did was just to add a little joke to the young and old in Beijing. When this matter came to an end, Shuntian Fu Yin's judgment on Huang Yuerong was unexpected According to the current situation in Liaodong, Huang Yuerong was almost killed in Liaodong.Although Feng Yuanbai wanted to stop him, but unexpectedly, Huang Yuerong admitted his crimes, which made Feng Yuanbai helpless.

In the Xishan Camp, the training is going on in full swing. After a period of recuperation, the young men brought from Dalinghe City have gradually returned to their original appearance. In addition, they are also grateful to Li Xin, so the short term During the time, there was no sunshine in the training, but today Li Xin was watching the military parade.I saw Zhang Yifu walking over.There was a trace of resentment on his face.

"Why are you so angry! Could it be that your friend didn't pay back the money he owed you?" Li Xin said with a smile.Zhang Yifu was born in a merchant with a wide network of contacts. Li Xin asked him to inquire about the news in the capital, but what he didn't expect was that he actually inquired about the news.

"My lord, after reading this, I'm afraid you are more angry than me." Zhang Yifu shook his head and said.

"What is such a disparity?" Li Xin glared at him dissatisfied, snatched the letter from his hand, opened it, his face changed suddenly, and finally he sneered.

"My lord." Shi Yuanzhi and others nearby also surrounded him.

"Chongzhen is so generous, the generosity even surprised me." Li Xin threw the letterhead in his hand to Shi Yuanzhi and the others beside him. Sure enough, after Shi Yuanzhi and the others read it, they were all furious.

"It's a joke not to be rewarded for meritorious service." Gao Meng was so angry that he snorted coldly: "My lord fought to the death to save Daling River City and save his Guanning iron cavalry, but he is lucky, not only did he not get any rewards, There should be such an official! Now it's good, it's just pardoning the crime of the lord, what kind of appreciation is this! Such a court is not guaranteed!"

"The imperial court is really chilling. It is really a joke to have the right to send troops and let Zu Dashou lead this army." Shi Yuanzhi sneered: "The current Zu Dashou is still supported by us, and it depends on Zu Dashou. How can I become a slave with my little ability on my birthday?"

"My lord, why don't we turn against his mother, Chongzhen is really disgusting." Yang Xiong's eyes were red, and he said: "Such a great achievement, not to mention a reward from a prince, even a general soldier is enough. But Chongzhen's son is fine, he said lightly that he pardoned the crime of the lord, what kind of reasoning is that."

"In the eyes of the imperial court, thunder, rain, and dew are the grace of the king. What's more, the lord recruited soldiers as criminals, which is not allowed by the court law. According to my Ming law, the lord's actions are treason. Now the court has spared the lord. The charge of treason is already a great gift from heaven. Can you ask for other things?" Jiang Yi said with a gloomy expression.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." Li Xinchang sighed: "So I thought that Dalinghe City is in danger now. I, Li Xin, am also a member of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Han family. I will take this opportunity to do my best for the Dahan. But looking at it now, I still think highly of me, Li Xin. I, Li Xin, a mere grassroots citizen, are nothing more than useless in the eyes of the imperial court. Hey! It’s better to go back.” Li Xin sighed.To be honest, part of what Li Xin said was just for show, while the other part is also the truth.Who doesn't want to have carelessness, once Li Xin has righteousness, it is natural to enter the grassland, but right now, without righteousness, to enter the grassland without authorization, that is a rebellion, can Li Xin rebel?Li Xin also felt suspicious, more importantly, he was worried about the people around him, would these people be willing to follow him?

"Master, the so-called killing one person is a thief, killing a hundred people is a massacre, and killing ten thousand people is a hero! Killing a million people is a hero. With so many people, they will be like an ordinary person in the Daling River, even eaten by Zu Dashou and the others. Right now, the lord is using soldiers like this. Isn't it because the lord has a lot of people around him? Soldiers and horses, is that why the lord was pardoned for the crime of treason? It has been like this since ancient times. When the lord's power can affect the safety of Ming Dynasty, the Chongzhen children will come to curry favor with you. Hehe, when the time comes, don't say yes What kind of commander-in-chief, Chongzhen is probably willing to make the lord a king. But at that time, whether the lord is willing to accept it or not will become a problem." Shi Yuan, who was next to him, saw what Li Xinxin was thinking, and said immediately: " My lord, there are more than ten thousand people by my side now. When I enter the grassland at this time, I am not alone. I can swim between Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars, annex small tribes, and continue to grow. Soon, I will have countless people. Wan Shanzhan, at that time, are you afraid that you will not be able to shout at the court?"

"What Yuan Zhi said makes sense, but I don't know how many people here are willing to go to the grassland with me?" Li Xin said, pointing to the more than ten thousand soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

"My lord, some of these people came out of Daling River City following you, and some of them were saved by you, so why wouldn't they follow you in battle?" Shi Yuanzhi revealed a hint of mystery at the corner of his mouth, beckoning. Passed Yang Xiong, whispered a few words in his ear.Yang Xiong nodded.

"Brothers, be quiet, be quiet." Yang Xiong went to a high place, took out a tin box, and looked carefully, it turned out to be a trumpet. This is a gadget invented by Li Xin. He was training the army. use it.

"Brothers, let me tell you a piece of bad news. The imperial court has issued a decree. From then on, you will be brought under the command of General Zu Dashou and become a regular army of the imperial court." Yang Xiong's voice was heard far and wide, and the entire Xishan Army could hear it clearly clearly.

"The lord is here?" After a period of silence, a cavalryman jumped out of the crowd and said loudly: "We will follow the lord, what kind of bird is his ancestor Dashou, the lord is here."

"Where is the lord?" Ten thousand soldiers roared loudly.

Li Xin was moved and went forward, only to see him in green clothes, took the trumpet from Yang Xiong's hand, and glanced at the soldiers down the mountain, feeling a little proud and touched in his heart, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Brothers Well, I, Li Xin, was just a criminal and sent to Liaodong. When Jiannu was besieged, I wanted to go to Dalinghe City to report to the imperial court. Unfortunately, the imperial court had no soldiers to rescue me. In desperation, I had to raise The uprising flag recruited troops and bought horses in Xishan, and dealt with Jiannu. Until today, he fought with Jiannu more than a hundred times before barely defeating Jiannu, breaking the siege of Daling River, and rescuing many brothers present. Now also It's time to retire. The imperial court has pardoned my crimes. From then on, I will be an ordinary person, but you are different. You will become the imperial court's army and be brought under the command of General Zu Dashou, and continue to fight for the imperial court. Brothers, I, Li Xin From now on, I will never be able to fight side by side with my brothers again." Having said this, Li Xin waved to the soldiers.

"Brothers, do you still want to be eaten by Zu Dashou? Do you still remember who fought bravely from Jiannu to save you from the mouth of the devil? That is our master." Yang Xiong said loudly: "My lord beheaded countless Jiannu, especially Jiannu Azig, and rescued Dalinghe City. Thousands of Guanning iron cavalry also survived because of the lord. Such a great achievement, the court turned a blind eye, just pardoning the lord's crime? What's the crime? The lord is a loyal queen, and he was framed by others. The court didn't investigate clearly, and sent the lord to Liaodong. What's the use of such a court?"

"Yes, what's the use of it, I will follow the lord and rebel against the court."

"Yes, the lord has given us life, and now the court wants us to go back to the ogre. Isn't it telling us to die? Can't agree, can't agree."

"Master." Yang Xiong and others bowed to the ground one after another, and more than ten thousand soldiers at the foot of the mountain also bowed to the ground one after another, shouting "Master".

"Thank you brothers for your love. I, Li Xin, swear that I will share life and death with you brothers, and share misfortunes and blessings. Together we will revitalize the Han family." Li Xin said, waving his fist.

"Life and death are shared, misfortunes and blessings are shared."

"Life and death are shared, misfortunes and blessings are shared."

There were bursts of cheers from the bottom of the mountain.
