Chapter 263 Loyalty

Emperor Chongzhen did not like Sun Chuanting, but he could not resist his son's recommendation. Moreover, it seems that there is no one to beat except Sun Chuanting.

The prison is dark and long. Sun Chuanting has been here for more than a year. The days in the prison are long and difficult. Fortunately, the prison guards admire Sun Chuanting's character and sent him some books every day.

In the dungeon, Sun Chuanting reads books every day for entertainment. He reads a lot of books. He reads a book called Three Kingdoms dozens of times, but he still reads it with relish.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Accompanied by the eunuch of the Eastern Palace, Sun Wangcai, Zhu Cilang, came with Meng Fanchao. At the same time, behind Zhu Cilang, there was a man wearing a black robe and covering his head with a cloth robe. In the darkness, this person was like a ghost and charming, and he couldn't see who he was.

However, Zhu Cilang's arrival obviously surprised Sun Chuanting. As the prison guard opened the prison door, Zhu Cilang walked in.

Sun Chuanting was stunned at first, then put away the book and hurriedly bowed: "The criminal Sun Chuanting, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Cilang hurriedly helped him up: "General Sun is suffering, please get up quickly."

A jailer moved a chair, and the man in black behind him sat on the chair outside the prison door, looking quietly inside. It was Chongzhen.

That's right, Chongzhen didn't want Sun Chuanting to know that he was coming. After all, he sent him to prison. To be honest, Sun Chuanting is still very good at fighting. Although he is not as brave as Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others, he is still a rare general after all.

What Chongzhen never expected was that Sun Chuanting, who had always been above his gaze, disliked flattery, actually flattered Zhu Cilang very much.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is young, but the criminal has heard a lot of rumors about your Highness." Before Zhu Cilang could speak, Sun Chuanting bowed to him.

Chongzhen was secretly surprised. You know, whenever the ministers flattered and praised Emperor Chongzhen, only Sun Chuanting said nothing.

Sun Chuanting was a talented person, and he was very strategic. In the 47th year of Wanli, he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the magistrate of Yongcheng County. He was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Wei Zhongxian and abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown. After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was transferred to the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture. In the 9th year of Chongzhen, he served as the governor of Shaanxi, formed the Qin army, and ambushed the rebel king Gao Yingxiang. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, he cooperated with Hong Chengchou and defeated Li Zicheng's troops in the south of Tongguan. Li Zicheng only led 18 cavalry to escape into Shangluo Mountain.

At the beginning, Chongzhen overthrew the eunuch party and forced Wei Zhongxian to death. The officials all applauded and praised him. In the court, Chongzhen was also praised. What was the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and it surpassed Tang Zong and Song Zu. The flattery was so melodious and beautiful.

Chongzhen was upright and young, and he was really inflated at that time. However, Sun Chuanting poured cold water on himself inappropriately, saying that it was a long time since the suffering of Wei, and Long Live should not be complacent, but how to rectify the court and show his might.

Chongzhen, who was in the swelling at that time, was quite disliked, but he finally took advantage of Sun Chuanting's talent. Sun Chuanting did not disappoint and became the governor of Shaanxi and formed the Qin army. Then, he killed Gao Yingxiang, the King of Rebellion at that time, in one fell swoop.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng attacked Luzhou, took Hanshan, Hezhou, killed the governor Li Hongye, and the censor Ma Rujiao. He then surrounded Chuzhou and fought fiercely with Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai, Yang Shien and others. Gao Yingxiang and others attacked Shouzhou in the north but failed and entered Guide in the west. In February, they attacked Mi County, defeated Dengzhou, and killed Ming general Tang Jiuzhou, and marched into Dengzhou and Yunyang. In March, Yingxiang and Zicheng divided their troops from Yunxiang to Xing'an, Hanzhong met with Xianzhong. In May, Yingxiang returned to Huguang. In July of that year, Yingxiang went out of Nanshan and drove straight to Xi'an, and the army reached Zhou and Heishuiyu.

As a result, Gao Yingxiang met his destiny in Heishuiyu. When the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting set up an ambush, Gao Yingxiang defeated him in one fell swoop. Gao Yingxiang was captured and taken to Beijing to execute him. The rebel army once again recommended Li Zi to become the "King of Rebellion".

It was July 20, 20, the wounded Gao Yingxiang was captured in a cave. He was also captured with his confidant general Liu Zhe, Huang Long, and his tens of thousands of troops, which had completely collapsed before.

Gao Yingxiang, the king of rebellion who had been in the world for seven years, ended his life. In the past seven years, he had galloped across the northwest and swept the Central Plains. When the news of Gao Yingxiang's arrest reached the capital, Emperor Chongzhen did not believe it. It was not that he did not believe it, but that he did not believe it. He only believed it when he arrived in front of him.

Because Chongzhen couldn't believe that the leader of the bandit would be captured alive. When Gao Yingxiang was executed, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was true.

At that time, Chongzhen was innocent and thought that once Gao Yingxiang died, the bandits would collapse. However, he did not know that the roots of the Ming Dynasty had broken down. If this pattern was not changed, it would be only a matter of time before the country could be destroyed.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "General Sun, I am the only one who doesn't like flattery. Why did I start to flatter myself today?"

Sun Chuanting said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince defeated Jiannu in Liaodong, rectified the three camps in the capital, and placed refugees in Xishan. I heard that Shanxi and Henan disaster relief is also the contribution of Your Highness. One by one, how can it not be admired? Your Highness may not know that the criminals are in this prison and learn about the heroic deeds of Your Highness. Your Highness, you will definitely be revived with you in the Ming Dynasty! Your Highness, please bow to the slander!"

This is really gratifying. Zhu Cilang didn't expect that Sun Chuanting would appreciate him so much. He laughed and helped him up again: "I didn't expect General Sun would know the world in prison. OK, General Sun shouldn't be more polite. If you flatter me, I should blush."

The prisoners are also loyal and righteous. For example, when Hua Tuo was imprisoned by Cao Cao and Yue Fei was wronged, all the prisoners were grateful for his loyalty and righteousness.

At this time, a prison guard was brave enough to kneel down and said, "Report to the prince, what the villain saw with his own eyes. Every time General Sun learned about His Highness's heroic deeds, he always laughed in this prison, saying that there is hope for the Ming Dynasty and that the people of the world will have a good life."

Chongzhen outside the prison gate was motionless. He didn't know what he felt when he heard Sun Chuanting's words at this moment.

"General Sun, I am here to find you, there is something important." After a long time, Zhu Cilang finally talked about the main business.

"Your Highness, do you want the criminals to come out and lead troops to fight?" Sun Chuanting asked.

Zhu Cilang was shocked: "Awesome General Sun, you know even why I came to you."

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting sighed: "The criminal minister was sent to prison by the Emperor Long Live. He thought a lot in prison and learned a lot. The world's general trend will be divided for a long time. The national destiny of these dynasties will decline, and the decline will be chaos. But as long as there is a hero who can turn the tide, he can still support the building to collapse and turn the tide."
