Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 138
After making up his mind, Liu Liangzuo immediately wrote a letter in his own hand, sealed it with the seal of Uncle Chang Ping, and sent his confidant general Pang Ji to bring the letter to the Tartar army camp, and then ordered the whole army to gather and rectify the troops. , Pretending to be about to send troops, the generals are busy.

Liu Liangzuo and his deputy came to see Li Guofu for the second time.

These three delays and two no delays, the time is naturally not short, Li Guofu has long been impatient, and the generals who served him lost their temper a few times, these generals under Liu Liangzuo were only ordered to serve him, so naturally they dared not provoke him. A high-ranking and powerful superior can only pretend to be a grandson. At this time, Liu Liangzuo came in again with someone.

"Hahaha, it's Liu's crime to keep eunuch waiting for a long time." Liu Liangzuo said, bowing deeply.

Li Guofu flicked the fly brush nonchalantly, and said, "Don't dare to do it. Our family is waiting to return to Beijing to restore the order. I don't know when uncle will send troops?"

Liu Liangzuo smiled and responded: "It's not a trivial matter to send an army of tens of thousands. It takes time to dispatch troops, condemn generals, and provide food and grass. Liu will send troops as soon as he is ready."

"It's so good, our family is leaving." Li Guofu wanted to leave again.

Liu Liangzuo had an exaggerated expression on his face, "Elder-in-law, why are you in such a hurry? Eunuch has come from a long way. At this time of day, he has to eat, rest, and get tired. It won't be too late for him to go on the road tomorrow, just in time for Liu to be a bit of a landlord." It's a good idea, come and prepare wine and vegetables, treat your father-in-law well!"

The subordinates agreed, and soon the table in Roushan Jiuhai was full, and Liu Liangzuo personally accompanied him, but Li Guofu had no choice but to sit down. When the wine was half drunk, Liu Liangzuo slapped three palms lightly, and came from behind the screen. Several beautiful women came out, some sat beside Liu Liangzuo, some sat on the body of the accompanying general, and two came directly to serve Li Guofu.

These military prostitutes who were looted from the people by Liu Liangzuo had to give up their dignity in order to survive. Needless to say, they were open-minded. After all, it was useless, but it made Li Guofu so embarrassed that he almost sprayed wine.

Liu Liangzuo and the others laughed, and Li Guofu cursed in his heart: "You bastard Liu, this is humiliating our family. After our family returns to Beijing, we must read a copy of it in front of the emperor!"

The meal was finally over, but it was getting late, so Li Guofu had to stay. The next day, no matter how Liu Liangzuo tried to persuade him to stay, Li Guofu couldn't stay any longer, so Liu Liangzuo had to lead people to send the angel official out of Shouzhou.

The journey from Shouzhou to Nanjing is more than [-] miles, and the round trip is more than [-] miles. Li Guofu stayed in Shouzhou for another night, and this trip lasted ten days. Therefore, when Li Guofu returned to Zhu Yousong, it was already September. It's late.

Sure enough, Li Guofu fulfilled his promise, and prepared the manuscript in his mind with added fuel and vinegar along the way. Seeing Zhu Yousong narrate in detail the process of passing the decree in Shouzhou this time, he ruthlessly read Liu Liangzuo's book, pointing out that He deliberately delayed the military plane, suspected of disrespecting the order, and humiliated the imperial envoy.

Li Guofu complained in front of Zhu Yousong with an expression of being greatly wronged, just to anger his master so that he could make decisions for him.

But Zhu Yousong was not angry at all after hearing this, instead he laughed out loud, which made Li Guofu laugh stupidly. Liu Liangzuo ignored the holy decree and imperial envoy so much, how could the emperor still laugh?

After Zhu Yousong laughed, he said: "I'm not laughing at anything else, I'm laughing at that Uncle Chang Ping will really give me good looks! Don't worry, I will vent my anger on you soon."

Li Guofu looked at Zhu Yousong in puzzlement when he heard this, but His Majesty didn't seem to be talking angry, he was as if he was in the clouds, but he was flattered and thanked him.

Within two days, Lu Jiude, the supervisor of Henan Province, sent an urgent document for five hundred miles, and there was a letter wrapped in the document. Zhu Yousong opened it and read it. It said that they had caught a man named Pang. Ji's people saw that he was sneaky. After interrogation and body search, a letter was found from him. This letter turned out to be a contact letter from Liu Liangzuo to the Tartars. Because of the seriousness of the matter, Lu Jiude and others did not Dare to make decisions without authorization, and sent someone to ask Zhu Yousong how to deal with it.

"That's it." Zhu Yousong read the letter from Liu Liangzuo again and smiled, and said to Li Guofu, who was bowing and waiting beside him, "No, here is the opportunity to vent your anger on you." Saying that, put The urgent official document and letter were handed over to Li Guofu.

Li Guofu didn't know what was written in it, so he took it over to read it carefully, and then said angrily: "Hua Ma Liu is blatantly colluding with the Tartars, this is rebellion, it's a pity that His Majesty still values ​​him so much, he must be killed and not kept!"

"Well. I will take his head now." Zhu Yousong said, ordering someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study, Li Guofu grinds the ink to serve, Zhu Yousong picks up the pen and brushes it with his hand, and the pen is like a snake, writing on this official document The next few words: "Follow the plan and lure the thieves south."

After writing, dry the ink, use a jade seal, seal it with fire tin and let Li Guofu hand it over to the official from Henan.

Up to now, Li Guofu seemed to understand Zhu Yousong's thoughts, and thought to himself, I said, why is your majesty not in a hurry, it turns out that everything is under control.Use the plan to lure the thieves to the south, Your Majesty is bringing Liu Liangzuo close to him and punishing him to death!

The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea. Your Majesty has drawn a lot of circles for Liu Liangzuo, but I don't know if he will jump or not. If we can catch this thief, our family must give him a hundred lashes. How dare you use a woman to humiliate our family? His Majesty laughed himself out loud.

At this time, An Lin, the imperial envoy who was ordered to go to Huai'an, also returned to Nanjing.Because of his long journey, he was a few days later than Li Guofu. When he saw Zhu Yousong handing in the decree, he reported that Liu Zeqing was ill and bedridden.

After An Lin finished playing, he even posted a note written by Liu Zeqing himself. Zhu Yousong took it and glanced at it, and it really matched what An Lin said.

Zhu Yousong sneered twice, threw the booklet on the ground, and sneered again and again: "It's really time for Uncle Dongping to be ill. I remember that when the emperor was in power, the northern capital was in a tight spot, and he was ordered to lead troops to serve the king. He was ill at that time. Now I He was asked to send troops to Shandong, and when the order came, he fell ill again. How sick he is, I will pick a few imperial doctors to visit him after the affairs of Uncle Chang Ping are over, let him be sick first!"

An Lin seemed to understand at this time that Zhu Yousong's two intentions were not simply to let the warlords of the two towns send troops to kill the Tartars, but had a deeper intention. They glanced at each other tacitly, and no one dared to say more Because the two of them understand the master in front of them, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unfathomable, they must be careful and careful when serving, if they can't control their mouths, maybe when Chao Zanzhou is a lesson for them .
