Borrow the day to change the day

() These days, outside the city is the war between the Jianlu and the Ming army, and inside the city, it is the civil servants who are fighting the Emperor Chongzhen.

Needless to say outside the city, the center of the struggle in the city is the handling of the perpetrators of the city wall rape case.

Emperor Chongzhen unilaterally left the court that day, which made the civil servants very helpless, but they did not give up. First, five cabinet ministers jointly signed a petition: the Ministry of Industry gave the capital of the matter, and the imperial censor Gao Benming punished him too severely. He has been studying for a lifetime. After finally becoming an official, he was resigned because of ineffective supervision. He didn't pay much attention to scholars.

Emperor Chongzhen kept the memorial.

As a result, the cabinet ministers asked questions when they met, and some wrote memorials later, and even encouraged some censors to participate.

Emperor Chongzhen was very annoyed, and resolutely and publicly stated that the decision on punishment would not change.

Well, the civil servants took a step back and said that when Zhang Fengxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, took office, basically the city walls had been repaired, and he didn't know about the corruption and corruption, so he should be released without charge.

Your emperor said that the Ministry of Industry should be punished for giving the capital to the king, but Yu Shi Gao Benming’s decision will remain unchanged. No problem, we have made concessions. Now that we are dealing with the matter of Minister of Industry, the Holy Majesty must show some face. Boom, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't resist, so he had to release Zhang Fengxiang and let him return to his original post.

Do you know why these civil servants are making all this noise? It is to let the Emperor Chongzhen stop investigating the case of rape on the city wall, and focus the struggle on it.

Not long after Jianlu retreated, in the afternoon, the gray weather was dissipating, and a round of winter sun exposed the sky, and he was working hard to bring warmth to the world.

From the east of the city of Beijing, an army drove over. The strange thing was that this army included soldiers in red mandarin duck battle jackets, minzhuang in green clothes, and some people in yamen uniforms.The team was not in order, the front had stopped, and those behind were still rushing forward, accompanied by various shouts, some asking, some scolding, and so on;

At the front of the line was a burly man on a horse, wearing a scarlet gown embroidered with Yunyan patches, listening to a report from a few people dressed as family servants: "Master Futai, the younger one is spying on you under the capital city. It is clear. Jianlu has just retreated and has passed through Tongzhou. The capital is safe, but Marshal Man Guiman, who commanded the army of King Qin from all over the country, died in the morning."

The commanders were all killed in battle. It is conceivable how dangerous the battle of the capital was. The prefect frowned and said, "Unexpectedly, I, Lu Xiangsheng, came a step late and missed this battle."

The deputy envoy of military preparations on one side is concurrently serving as the inspector general. He is not as high as Lu Xiangsheng, and he is relieved. He finally missed Jianlu, but he didn't say anything, but he just flattered Lu Xiangsheng on the side: " I think Jianlu came to Jianlu because he knew the power of the lord of Futai, and he heard that the lord with undeserved courage was coming, so he ran away in fright."

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at him, but ignored him. If he hadn't procrastinated and dawdled, he would have assembled the soldiers and Minzhuang long ago. Maybe he could catch up with the defense of the capital and share the worries of the saint.

At this moment, when I heard the noise from behind getting louder and louder, I turned my head and saw that the marching snake array was about to turn into a crescent moon shape, and I sighed in my heart, the impromptu team really hoped not on.When there is time to rectify it, go to the capital to report first.

After Lu Xiangsheng finished thinking, he asked the servants on horseback to maintain order and line up to avoid embarrassing the Daming Mansion.

Emperor Chongzhen was very busy during this time, while arguing with these civil servants, while asking about the specific affairs of the defense of the capital, he was afraid that there would be another incident of the commander of the army fleeing.As soon as the defense battle is over, it is necessary to pay for the casualties of the soldiers, especially the issue of pensions for generals such as Man Gui.

In this battle to defend the capital, the civil servants did not shine. Instead, they exposed the case of corruption and rape, and they quarreled with the emperor for a few days.

The civil servants also felt the change of Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards them these days, from the previous trust and obedience to doubts and meddling in everything.So I have been thinking about how to restore the impression in the emperor's mind.

When it happened to be counting King Qin's army that day, it was discovered that a civil servant was also leading the King Qin. This kind of loyalty to the king is worthy of being set as an example, and it can also take the opportunity to improve the relationship with the emperor.Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect to be shot while lying down.

When they presented the list of Qin Wangjun from all walks of life to Emperor Chongzhen, they put Lu Xiangsheng's name at the top, specifically marking this as the magistrate.

What the civil servants didn't know was that Lu Xiangsheng's name had been recommended several times by Zhong Jinwei in front of Emperor Chongzhen several months ago.Given that Zhong Jinwei's recommendation was very effective, even if Lu Xiangsheng's name was placed at the end of the list, as long as Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he would attach great importance to it.

The result was very natural. When Emperor Chongzhen saw the three words Lu Xiangsheng, he immediately thought of Zhong Jinwei's recommendation, and remembered the information about Lu Xiangsheng reported by Wang Chengen.This kind of courage is probably not possessed by ordinary generals.

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious about what kind of person Lu Xiangsheng was, so he immediately summoned him by decree.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was handing over the food, grass and salary of King Qin's army. Because he was a civil servant, only [-]% of it was lost. He also knew this unspoken rule, but he was powerless to fight against the entire civil servant group, so he had to admit it.

Suddenly, I found that the three words "Yin Zuo Ju" were printed on the payment, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange. How could this payment be melted by Da Nei Yin Zuo Bureau?

So he asked the payer: "Why did the pay come from the Banking Bureau?"

The person who pays the salary is the head of the Ministry of War. If those generals ask, they will not answer, whether they like it or not.But now the question is about a member of the civil service system, or the magistrate, one of his own.So he said: "This is the silver that the Holy Majesty gave out from the palace." Looking around, it seemed that no one was paying attention, and then lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Xiangsheng: "It is said that the Holy Majesty ordered the Silver Work Bureau to melt some silver vessels in the palace, so There are these three words."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he remained silent. The imperial court was so impoverished, and a feeling of sadness rose from the bottom of his heart. The situation of the Holy Majesty is difficult!

The head of the Ministry of War originally told Lu Xiangsheng that he wanted to gossip and laugh together, but seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't cooperate, he felt that life was boring, so he ignored Lu Xiangsheng and went about his own business.

After receiving the summoning order from Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng tidied up his clothes and checked everything was correct before going to see him.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned Lu Xiangsheng on the platform. As soon as he saw it, he was deeply impressed. Nonsense, a civil servant, a man of Jinshi background, but with a majestic military general, will anyone not be impressed?

After Lu Xiangsheng died, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Someone recommended Qing to me a long time ago, saying that Qing is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, brave, and a pillar of the country. I saw you today, and it is true."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was taken aback for a moment: If someone recommends me for being quick-witted, concentrating on solving cases, caring for the people like a son, it’s fair to say, but now I’m recommending someone who is brave!This, who is this?

Emperor Chongzhen said again: "I wonder if Aiqing can show me both hands?"

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Emperor Chongzhen was very interested, and in order not to disappoint the unknown recommender, he agreed: "The emperor orders, and the minister will fulfill everything."

It's comfortable to listen to, and Emperor Chongzhen's favorability for Lu Xiangsheng soared.

"My minister is rude." After Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, he tidied up his court clothes so that he could move more easily.Then he looked around and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, can you give me a weapon."

The Jinyi soldiers standing on the side brought a nine-pronged fork with the permission of Emperor Chongzhen. Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, I am not good at using forks. Please give me another one."

So he brought another Fang Tian painting halberd, Lu Xiangsheng took it and tried it, and said: "Your Majesty, this one is too light, can you change it to a more important one?"

Another large sword weighing forty catties was replaced, and Lu Xiangsheng weighed it, but he still said it was too light.

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled, isn't this the monkey grandson going down to the Dragon Palace to get the golden cudgel!It just so happens that I also have a treasure here.So he said: "Bring the Qinglong Yanyue Knife made by the late emperor."

Lu Xiangsheng felt itchy when he heard it, because the most convenient thing he used was Yanyue Dao.

This time it was the servant who went to get it. Lu Xiangsheng saw that the servant was struggling to hold the Yanyue knife, and he was very happy. He took it and weighed it. The weight was just right, and the body of the knife was black and unpretentious, but the blade was very sharp.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Lu Xiangsheng was sizing up the weapon, so he introduced it with a smile: "This is when the first emperor was listening to the story of the Three Kingdoms. He asked the best blacksmith to imitate the legendary Qinglongyanyue knife and make it of black iron and fine steel. It's also 82 catties."

Lu Xiangsheng danced a few times full of joy, his heart itching unbearably, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please go down and dance a few times, Your Majesty please watch."

Emperor Chongzhen's youthful temperament is of course no problem.

Lu Xiangsheng arrived under the stage, stood still, and then started a performance: I saw that the moves were either attack or defense, defense in combination with attack, and defense and attack simultaneously.The walking style and the saber style are urgently threatening, aggressively moving, hard-blocking and advancing, unstoppable, and the characteristics of Yanyue Dao techniques such as flirting, chopping, chopping, throwing, cutting, wiping, chopping, picking, and chopping are vividly displayed.

Emperor Chongzhen applauded again and again on the stage, he is really a Jinshi and a fierce general!

After Lu Xiangsheng completed a set of saber techniques, he returned to the stage to meet Emperor Chongzhen, but his expression remained unchanged and he was out of breath.

Emperor Chongzhen boasted so fiercely that it was too late for Lu Xiangsheng to be humble.Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng couldn't put it down for this imitation Qinglong Yanyue Knife, he gave it to Lu Xiangsheng without hesitation.

Lu Xiangsheng knelt down to thank him, then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I know that your majesty is in a difficult situation, and money and food cannot be continued. I should use this knife to kill the captives bravely, wipe out the Jian captives as soon as possible, and restore peace to the world."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he calmed down from the excitement just now, and remembered that Zhong Jinwei recommended Lu Xiangsheng to replace Mao Wenlong to sit in Dongjiang Town, so he nodded: "Okay, I know about your loyalty and bravery, and I will transfer you to Kill Jianlu."

So, the monarch and his subjects broke up happily.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen thought of Zhong Jinwei and decided to go to see Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei was slowly circling in the hall with Archie's support, and his body had gradually recovered.Emperor Chongzhen came over and was also happy to see that Zhong Jinwei was able to walk around.Condolences, let everyone else exit the hall.

Emperor Chongzhen liked to chat with Zhong Jinwei. After each chat, he gained a lot, and his mood became very happy and relaxed. Others did not feel this way.He said to Zhong Jinwei: "I met Lu Xiangsheng just now. Yes, I am satisfied with all the people recommended by Mr. Zhong."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, ah, a big celebrity has come, I don't know if it is the same as described in the history books.So he asked Emperor Chongzhen if he could go and see what Lu Xiangsheng was like.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Zhong Jinwei said, he couldn't help thinking that Zhong Jinwei had been in this world for so long and hadn't gone out in the palace. It was not an option to stay for a long time. Besides, Zhong Jinwei was going to get married soon, so it was time to arrange it.

So, Emperor Chongzhen began to think about how to arrange Zhong Jinwei, this is a problem!
