My father is Chongzhen? Then I have no choice but to rebel.

Chapter 51 Hero of the late Ming Dynasty: Lu Xiangsheng!

The person who was speaking was a young man in his twenties, tall and strong, with a righteous look on his face.

There was also a woman and a child of about eleven or twelve next to him. They reached out and kept pulling at the corner of his clothes, as if trying to stop him from continuing.

The young man turned around and said to the woman:

"Sister-in-law, please don't stop me! What are we doing in Beijing? Isn't it just to clear my brother's name? What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just give up my life!"

At the same time, Li Ruolian's face had darkened.

Although he didn't know who this young man was, he couldn't tolerate him saying that His Majesty was a tyrant in public!

Just as he was about to take action, Zhu Cilang suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

Although Li Ruolian was a little confused, he still retreated.

At the same time, the owner of the teahouse also ran up from the first floor tremblingly.

He also heard what he just said on the first floor.

Similarly, the Jinyiwei on the first floor also heard it. If they hadn't received orders, they would have rushed up and taken action long ago!
The boss walked up to the young man with unsteady steps, and then advised in a trembling voice:

"Sir, our shop is just a small business and can't stand your harassment! Please, please, stop talking now, okay?"

"I'll waive your tea fee today, I just ask you to leave quickly!"

As he said this, he was about to pull the young man away, but he couldn't move him.

Then the young man glared at him dissatisfiedly and threw a piece of silver at him.

"Who asked you to waive the tea fee? It's not like I don't have money! What? Can't we talk in the capital?"

When the boss heard this, he was almost scared to tears.

He was not a fool, so of course he knew that the reason so many Jinyiwei came to his shop was that some important person must be resting here.

If he accidentally offended that big shot, his head would probably be removed from his neck.

Thinking of this, the boss really cried.

Tears streaming down my face!

"Sir, please be kind! I really don't dare to do business with you. Please leave!"

The woman sitting next to the young man also stood up at this time, her voice full of worry and helplessness:
"Uncle, stop talking, let's go! Don't forget the important things."

When the young man heard this, he glared at the boss angrily, then picked up the bag next to him and left with the woman and child.

Li Ruo Lian leaned close to Zhu Cilang's ear and asked:

"Your Highness, would you like me to arrest them?"

"Need not!"

Zhu Cilang waved his hand.

"Just send someone to find out their identities, and remember not to take action."

Li Ruolian nodded, and then left the teahouse first.

After what happened, Zhu Cilang didn't want to stay here any longer. After drinking another cup of tea, he led his people out of the teahouse.

Not long after returning to the East Palace, Li Ruo Lian came back and brought information about the young man!

After listening to Li Ruolian's words, Zhu Cilang was a little surprised.

Because the young man's name is Lu Xiangjin!

You may not know this person, but you must know his brother Lu Xiangsheng!

Lu Xiangsheng, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, made many contributions in the late Ming Dynasty, the main one of which was to fight against the rebels and the Jiannu!
In October of the second year of Chongzhen's reign, Huang Taiji bypassed the Guanningjin defense line held by Yuan Chonghuan and led a large army into the interior of the country from Da'ankou. The capital was under martial law, which is known in history as the "Ji Si Incident."

Lu Xiangsheng recruited 3,000 people to go to Beijing to support the emperor, and since then he has been appreciated by Chongzhen.

In the following years, Lu Xiangsheng continued to fight against the rebel forces in various places!
Moreover, every time Lu Xiangsheng went to the battlefield, he always led the troops and never retreated. The army he led was called the "Tianxiong Army"!
Whenever he appeared in a place, the local rebels would always be defeated at the first blow, and even warned each other: Lu Xiangsheng is unstoppable, whoever touches him will die, don't fight him!

Over time, Lu Xiangsheng got a nickname: Lu Yanwang!
This means that Lu Xiangsheng is no different from the King of Hell who demands his life. In the fight against the Jiannu, Lu Xiangsheng also made great military achievements. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, he was transferred to the governor of Xuanda to prevent the Jiannu from entering the pass.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiang was promoted to the title of Minister of War, and was ordered to support the capital when the Qing army entered the pass, and to supervise reinforcements from all over the country.

Despite the numerous internal conflicts within the imperial court and the fact that food and military pay could not be distributed in a timely manner, Lu Xiangsheng still insisted on fighting.

Eventually he was surrounded by the Jiannu in Jiazhuang, Julu, and died on the battlefield!

He was only thirty-nine years old when he died!

Do you think this is over?

wrong!

After Lu Xiangsheng died, rumors began to spread that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, but had surrendered to the Jiannu.

Due to various difficulties posed by the civil officials, Lu Xiangsheng's body was not buried until nearly eighty days after his death.

Moreover, the imperial court did not give any pension or posthumous honors to Lu Xiangsheng's family at that time!

There isn't even a posthumous title!

Just like that, a soldier who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and died on the battlefield died in such an unclear manner, and his body was not buried until eighty days after his death!
Later, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother wrote a letter to Chongzhen, hoping that the court would provide pensions to his brother who died for the country.

However, the civil officials headed by Yang Sichang controlled the court at that time, so they rejected Lu Xiangjin's request.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng's wife again asked the court for compensation, but was still rejected.

Not long after, Lu Xiangsheng's two younger brothers jointly wrote another letter to the court, begging it to clear their brother's name, but they were still ruthlessly rejected by the court.

It was not until March of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, after Yang Sichang was defeated and killed, that Chongzhen reluctantly rehabilitated Lu Xiangsheng!

Then he was posthumously awarded the titles of Prince Grand Tutor and Minister of War, but he still received no pension!
Even Lu Xiangsheng's posthumous title of "Zhonglie" was posthumously awarded by the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"'Zhongsu' was posthumously conferred by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty!
Until his death, Chongzhen never really gave Lu Xiangsheng the honor he deserved!

But even so, Lu Xiangsheng's people remained loyal to the Ming Dynasty!
Later, when the Jiannu army marched south, the Lu family fought to the death, and hundreds of people died as martyrs!

Lu Xiangsheng's brothers, uncles, and clansmen were all killed in the battle!
The Lu family is full of loyal heroes! They are worthy of the Ming Dynasty!

And the Ming Dynasty.
But I am ashamed of this hero!

Thinking back, Zhu Cilang slowly said:

"So, the woman with Lu Xiangjin should be Lu Xiangsheng's wife?"

"Yes!"

Li Ruo Lian replied.

"Where's the kid?"

Zhu Cilang asked again.

Li Ruolian continued:

"I've inquired about it. It's Lu Xiangsheng's wife, Wang, who gave birth to his son!"

Zhu Cilang nodded.

It’s good to have a hero!

But the next second, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened again.

Who made the heroes sweat, bleed and shed tears?
It’s the civil service group!
It’s Chongzhen!
Who made the heroes die with regrets?

It’s still the civil service group!

Still Chongzhen!

At this moment, Zhu Cilang really wanted to pick up a knife and cut open the stomachs of those civil servants and Chongzhen to see whether their hearts were red!
