Chapter 122: Your Majesty Sees Chongzhen
Two days later, Li Xin, Gao Guiying and Hong Niangzi sent Gao Yigong and six others at Mengcheng Post.
Gao Yigong gained nothing in this trip, his face was gloomy, and Gao Guiying felt ashamed of his brother, but she had already broken up with Li Zicheng. Li Xin was the object of her lifelong reliance. She could not do anything that annoyed Li Xin for Li Zicheng, and even took the initiative to draw a clear line with Li Zicheng.
Last time, she was warned by Li Xin to plead for Gao Yigong, so she knew Li Xin's bottom line. At this time, she was caught between Li Xin and Gao Yigong, hoping that Gao Yigong would leave quickly.
This is not to say that Gao Guiying does not care about the siblings, but that both parties are adults, have their own interests and are in different hostile camps, so their relationship will naturally be affected, unless one day, the first-year high school function will be replaced by Li Xin.
"I will send you thousands of miles away, and I will finally part. My brother-in-law often comes and walks around!"
Li Xin bowed and laughed.
"That's natural. Mr. Li doesn't have to send him off again, so say goodbye!"
Gao Yigong hummed and was about to turn around.
Li Xin called out, "Miss Huiying, have you ever thought about staying with Sister Guiying?"
"ah?"
Huiying screamed. She had considered whether Li Xin would try to keep her. She even lay in bed last night. She was still thinking whether she would fall into his sweet words if Li Xin sneaked in. Now Li Xin really spoke to keep her, and she felt her heart pounding.
Gao Yigong glared at him with a fierce look.
Zhang Nai also urgently advised: "Huiying, if you leave, Huimei will not be able to manage the Jianfu camp alone. Besides, you were adopted by the King of Chuang since childhood. The King of Chuang treats you as a daughter. You cannot betray the King of Chuang."
Gao Guiying's expression was not natural.
Li Xin smiled and looked at him. In fact, he didn't have to keep Huiying down. The key is that next year, Zhang Nai will usher in a drastic change in his life. He gave a foreshadowing in advance, hoping to help Zhang Nai. So he nodded and said, "Huiying, even if you don't stay, Sister Guiying will miss you. Come and see it when you have time. This sentence also works for Zhang Nai Huimei. Although our positions are different, our original intention is to let the people of the world live a good life. I treat you as friends. If you encounter something difficult, you can come to me."
"Thank you!"
Zhang Nai bowed perfunctorily.
Huiying's expression was a bit complicated. If Li Xin was a little tougher, would he stay?
"Go away!"
Gao Yigong took five people onto the boat, and the boat slowly crossed to the other side. Li Xin and others also turned around and turned back. Gao Guiying finally couldn't help but pinched Li Xin and said, "Did you have the idea of Huiying?"
The Hongniang looked over with dissatisfaction in her beautiful eyes.
"ha!"
Li Xinha smiled: "You don't know what kind of person I am. If I really have something interesting to Huiying, can she leave?"
The Hongniang thought about it, and Gao Guiying and his daughter were a typical example, so she said happily: "I'm not saying that you won't let you get into trouble. I'm not that stingy, but Huiying is the King of Rebellion and the leader of the Jianwo Camp. If you have her ideas, it's probably too much to do with it."
Li Xin glanced at Gao Guiying and laughed: "Matchmaker, after a while, I will attack Yangzhou. After taking Yangzhou, no matter whether you think about it or not, I will marry you. Your uncle can't wait."
The pretty lady's face turned slightly red and said angrily: "It's not about Uncle San's business."
Li Xin said: "Theoretically, it is not about the third uncle's business, but marriage is not a private life between the two, but a combination of the two surnames. So it is not just our business. The Xing family members all want me to marry you. I may be more straightforward to say this. Fortunately, you and I have feelings for each other, which is enough. We will hold a wedding in Yangzhou at that time."
"Yeah~~"
The Hongniang felt sweet, but she was still a little uneasy. She felt that Zhou Han should be asked to touch Li Xin's background as soon as possible.
Gao Guiying was instinctively uncomfortable. After sighing, she suddenly felt that it was good to get Huiying. After all, she was not young anymore. She was not sure how long Li Xin could be obsessed with her. It would be good to replace Huiying.
Shaking his head secretly, Gao Guiying asked, "Why do you think of attacking Yangzhou? Didn't Shi Kefa say that he would give you a memorial to Chongzhen?"
Li Xin said seriously: "I know the emperor Chongzhen very well. He is very handsome and weak inside. He is afraid that censors will attack him, so he will never allow me to be the governor of Gaoyou. When I mentioned this, I just need an excuse to raise an army. Once Chongzhen rejects me, I will attack Yangzhou immediately. We will not have much time. Within three or five years, the Ming Dynasty will perish. We must grow as soon as possible. From today on, the entire army will enter a state of preparation!"
"Um!"
Gao Guiying and Hong Niangzi both nodded.
...
Qianqing Palace!
"My dear Shi Kefa, please come to the emperor, long live the emperor!"
Shi Kefa was wearing a second-rank official uniform and kowtowed to Chongzhen respectfully. Before coming, he told Chongzhen that the breakups in the past year were mostly due to the wrong plans. He begged the emperor to meet him and face him with a plan, and Chongzhen agreed.
When he first came in, he glanced secretly. Chongzhen was in his early thirties, but his manes were stained with white frost, his face was yellow, with obvious dark circles, and his eyes were very serious, which made him feel sour and unbearable.
After looking at Shi Kefa for a moment, Chongzhen said in a majestic voice: "Shi Kefa, I ordered you to handle the canal transportation. If you are not staying in Huai'an, do you have any urgent matters to come to the capital? "
"My deceased...the death penalty!"
Shi Kefa kowtowed again.
"explain!"
Chongzhen urged.
Shi Kefa took out a memorial and presented it to him, "Please take a look!"
Wang Chengen took the note and presented it to Chongzhen's case.
Chongzhen lowered his head slightly, looked at him, and in an instant, his face full of anger.
"Shi Kefa, you deserve to die!"
The memorandum presented by Shi Kefa clearly explained the causes and consequences, including the first defeat, Li Xin's attack on Huai'an, plundered grain, and Huang Degong and Zhu Dadian attacked Gaoyou. The details were revealed one by one. Eunuch Zhang was even extorted 550,000 silver, and then added 300,000 taels to be written into the memorandum. Finally, he persuaded Chongzhen to appoint Li Xin as the governor of Gaoyou, and analyzed the pros and cons, as well as countermeasures to control Li Xin!
"My deceased...the death penalty!"
Shi Kefa kowtowed heavily. This time he entered Beijing, he did not have the hope of returning to Huaian alive. He just wanted to do his duty as a minister and tell Chongzhen how bad the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty was and what had happened. He had put life and death aside.
Chongzhen didn't read Shi Kefa at all. The shocking words made him very angry, especially Li Xin actually blackmailed Eunuch Zhang 550,000 taels of silver, which was even more infuriating.
You know, he just asked Wuqing Hou Li Guorui to lose 100,000 taels of money, and then he was in chaos. Not only did one tael of money fall, but he was also covered in fishy clothes. Why did Li Xin get 550,000 tons of money from Eunuch Zhang?
What's more, there are still 300,000 taels on the way!
"I passed the order, and Eunuch Zhang, Huai'an colluded with bandits and planned to rebel and rebel. He ordered Wu Mengming (the commander of the Jinyiwei Metropolitan Commander) to immediately confiscate Eunuch Zhang's home!"
Chongzhen shouted.
The most urgent task at the moment is to confiscate Eunuch Zhang's property and not be able to fall into Li Xin's hands.
"Abide by the order!"
Wang Chengen gave a gift and was about to go out, but Chongzhen remembered Li Xianfeng again. Li Xianfeng not only lost Luoyang, but also failed to catch Li Xin, which made him angry and angry. He immediately called out: "Catch Li Xianfeng back and issue an edict to punish him!"
Wang Chengen was obviously surprised, but soon gave another tribute: "Abide by the order!"
Chapter completed!
