Chapter 102 (4) There is no way to surrender in the future

The death of Lu Xiangsheng brought out the incomparable anger of Emperor Chongzhen towards him. Emperor Chongzhen wondered if Lu Xiangsheng hadn't died at all. He might have surrendered to the Qing soldiers, or he might have fled to an unknown place. Emperor Chongzhen wanted Lu Xiangsheng to live. Only when he is alive can he be hacked into pieces to vent his anger. Ordered to trace. After this investigation, Emperor Chongzhen's head got bigger. First, it was found out that before Lu Xiangsheng fought with the Qing soldiers, he sent someone to ask Gao Qiqian for help, but after Gao Qiqian fought on the battlefield, he left the village and let Lu Xiangsheng die under the siege of the Qing soldiers.

Moreover, many people have gone to the battlefield to search and saw the body of Lu Xiangsheng in filial piety and wearing a white net scarf, and they cried all of a sudden: This is our Lord Lu, the spirit of Lord Lu in the sky, he has not traveled far, and the people from all directions The people came spontaneously, burned incense and offered sacrifices on the battlefield, and let out a loud cry of mourning. Yang Sichang was so angry that he was restless, so he sent three scouts and said: Don't come back to see me unless you get news that Lu Xiangsheng is still alive. But a soldier named Yu Zhenlong came back and said: Lu Xiangsheng was indeed killed on the battlefield.

Yang Sichang roared like a beast. The death of Lu Xiangsheng completely destroyed his future, and he became the biggest loser.From then on, Yang Sichang was not only shameless by the people of the world, but sooner or later, Emperor Chongzhen would push the matter to his head, and it was inevitable that his family would be executed. Angry and mad, Yang Sichang refused to hear the bad news. He ordered Yu Zhenlong to be hung up and whipped for three days and three nights, trying to force Yu Zhenlong to change his words. On the third day, Yu Zhenlong was on the verge of death, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted at Yang Sichang: "Gods of heaven and gods, don't wrong your loyal ministers!"

Yang Sichang howled, grabbed his hair and staggered away. Report to Emperor Chongzhen: Lu Xiangsheng is missing, and his life and death are unknown. Long Yan is very happy. This conscientious report brought Yang Sichang one step closer to his point of no return. Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and Gao Qiqian suppressed Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle and refused to report, Chongzhen was also happy to have his ears quiet.This caused Lu Xiangsheng's body to be discarded in the wilderness, and it was never restrained. It was not until eighty-three days later that the matter could no longer be dragged on, and someone quietly restrained Lu Xiangsheng's body.

Lu Xiangsheng's family was impoverished, and his wife begged the court for compensation, but Chong Zhen was indifferent and ignored him, leaving Lu Xiangsheng's wife to fend for herself. In the third year, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother sent a report again, pleading for compensation, but Chongzhen still turned a deaf ear. Such indifference, such ruthlessness, made Chongzhen fall more and more into a situation of betrayal, but he himself did not feel the slightest. Later, Yang Sichang was brutally attacked by Li Zicheng, failed to suppress the bandits, and could not confess to Chongzhen. After he hanged himself and died, all the ministers collectively wrote a letter to strongly protest the court's unfair treatment of the dead and loyal man Lu Xiangsheng. He admitted in embarrassment that Lu Xiangsheng had died in battle, and posthumously presented Lu Xiangsheng as a prince's junior division, Minister of the Ministry of War.But he struggled desperately and refused to give Lu Xiang a posthumous title.

Scholar-bureaucrats are the most virtuous, and the reason why they sacrifice their lives for the country is to get a posthumous title after death, but Emperor Chongzhen is so ruthless and ungrateful, so who will be willing to work for him in the future? But Chongzhen also got angry, and Lu Xiangsheng admonished him with death, cutting off his hope of peace talks with Qing soldiers, so he had to send Hong Chengchou, the first man of Ming Dynasty, to Liaodong, hoping to use him to restrain the expansion of Manchu forces. But Emperor Chongzhen forgot that he treated Lu Xiangsheng so cruelly, it was impossible for Hong Chengchou to feel hopeless.
