Chapter 273 Entering the city

If you refuse to negotiate, you cannot enter the city. If you cannot enter the city, you cannot see Li Yan, Li Hao and others rush around under the city, but the Ming soldiers guarding the city did not buy it at all.

In fact, no matter what the negotiation result is, there are usually no one who refuses the visit of the envoy. This makes me seem a little petty, so it is better to let the envoy come in directly to see our Ming army's determination to resist.

The inspector Gao Mingheng was not an envoy against the bandits, but he was afraid that once the city gate was opened, the bandits would take the opportunity to attack. Therefore, he refused to negotiate.

The earthen jar and Yidou Gu were immediately furious, and the two pointed at the city wall and cursed.

"You geeks and dogs in the court are ungrateful. When I capture the city gate, I will kill you."

"If you dare to resist again, I will kill all the men in your city, and leave them to me for happiness!"

The two of them cursed under the city, and the Ming army's feathered arrows on the city wall flew. In this situation, I'm afraid I can't enter the city.

"Sir, what should we do?" Guan Qing asked anxiously.

Li Hao didn't say anything, but raised his hands and walked towards the city gate step by step...

This shocked the Ming army on the city wall and the bandits outside the city. Is this man desperate?

The Ming army archers on the city wall aimed at Li Hao under the city. As long as Gao Mingheng gave the order, he would be shot into a hedgehog immediately.

In the distance, Li Zicheng's big tent. Li Zicheng climbed up and looked at him. He was shocked when he saw the actions of Li Hao and others. Even Liu Zongmin next to him couldn't help but shout: "What do they want to do? Are they dead?"

Although Guan Qing and others were not willing, their thousand-household adults had sacrificed their lives. At this moment, the few people had to bite the bullet and raise their hands and walk towards the city gate step by step.

The Ming army on the city couldn't help it, and the archers pulled the bowstrings all over. Fortunately, the patrolman Gao Mingheng waved his hand and signaled his subordinates not to act rashly. The other party was only five or six people and did not carry weapons. Moreover, they raised their hands and made a gesture of surrender.

When he arrived at the city gate, Li Hao raised his head: "Sir, I really want to go to the city to meet the King of Chu. If you are worried, you don't have to open the city gate. You just need to put down the hanging basket from the city wall, and the villain can go up from the hanging basket."

Li Zicheng outside the city didn't understand why these people were so desperate, was it just for the few thousand taels of silver? Gao Mingheng on the city wall didn't understand. These people had to go into the city regardless of their lives, just to persuade them to surrender?

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, Gao Mingheng was still impressed by the courage of several people. There were such talents among the bandits. Fortunately, there was no need to open the city gate and hang them up with hanging baskets to see what tricks they were playing.

Thinking of this, Gao Mingheng waved his hand: "Put down the hanging basket."

The hanging basket is to throw a rope from the city wall, and tie a bamboo basket under the rope. Climb the person into the bamboo basket, and the Ming army on the city wall pulls the rope and pulls the person up.

Perhaps he wanted to deliberately humiliate the other party, Gao Mingheng ordered people to find a very small bamboo basket, and only one person could stand at a time. It took about a stick of incense to hang Li Hao and others to the city.

After getting on the city wall, the Ming army pointed their weapons at these people one after another.

Li Hao bowed: "How many adults are you?"

The inspector Gao Mingheng brought a few people over and said with a greeting: "I am the inspector Gao Mingheng, the guardian Su Zhuang and the regent Huang Shu."

The Ming Dynasty formally established the system of censors and inspected 110 people in the thirteen inspectors, and then selected the inspectors from them. The selection of inspectors from the thirteen inspectors is very strict. The emergence of each inspector censor is first selected by the Censorate, and two candidates are brought to the emperor and asked the emperor to select one. The Censors of the Censors are usually managed by the Central Censors, but they are not controlled by the Censors when performing their functions and are directly responsible to the emperor.

The duty of the inspector censor is to conduct inspections on behalf of the emperor, "reporting big matters and making decisions on small matters." The inspector censor represents the emperor to inspect the local area, also known as the "inspector of the inspector", commonly known as the "inspector of the eight prefectures", which is specialized in supervision, and generally ignores other matters and has great power. They exercise supervision power on behalf of the emperor, and can "supervise the big with small" and "super respect with low humility".

In other words, Gao Mingheng is actually very powerful. The governor who is in charge of the finance and people's livelihood of a province was appointed as the left and right political participation, senator, and stationed in a certain place, called the guarding of the way. The proclaimer was the assistant official of each prefecture, belonging to Shuntian Prefecture, the proclaimer of Yingtian Prefecture is the sixth rank, and the proclaimer of other prefectures is the seventh rank, who is in charge of the criminal name and praises the scriptures. It is selected by the Ministry of Personnel. It is also called the proclaimer of the official, the historical and the magistrate, and the provincial title is the proclaimer of the provincial.

Su Zhuang bowed his hand and did not speak up. The Promoter Huang Shu sneered: "I don't know if this brother is under the thief, he will hold any position?"

Li Hao was shocked at first. The West City Gate was defended by the inspectors of the Eighth Mansions and the Dao Promoters. It can be seen that King Zhou’s determination to defend against Kaifeng Mansion. At this moment, he no longer concealed it, but bowed and said, “It’s true that the following people are Jinyiwei. This time he sneaked into the thief camp just to enter the city.”

As soon as this statement was spoken, Gao Mingheng and others were all shocked. After looking at Li Hao and others carefully, everyone couldn't help but become suspicious.

This is so strange. How could a few Jinyiwei appear in the army of the thieves? Moreover, they actually took the initiative to enter the city, although what they said did not seem to be fake. However, Gao Mingheng and others did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that it was the treacherous plan of the thieves.

Suddenly, Gao Mingheng was stunned. He carefully measured Li Hao and looked left and right: "You, are you Lord Li Hao and Li?"

Li Hao was shocked: "Mr. Gao is here to know him."

Gao Mingheng laughed, then said to Su Zhuang, the guardian and the procurator Huang Shu, who was beside him, "Hahaha, don't check it. This person is Li Hao, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, I have seen him in the capital. Lord Li probably forgot that, when Emperor Long Su summoned Luo Yangxing and appointed him as the deputy governor, I have seen you."

Li Hao was shocked and then remembered that their Jinyiwei made contributions to dealing with the eunuch party case. Luo Yangxing was promoted and Emperor Chongzhen summoned him. He was also present at that time. Emperor Chongzhen encouraged Luo Yangxing a few words because Li Hao was tall. Chongzhen asked casually: Who is this tall and thin person?

When Li Hao saw the emperor, he was so scared that he trembled and stuttered. He didn't say his name for a long time, but fortunately Luo Yangxing relieved himself. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled slightly, and Li Hao was transferred to Qianhuo for his merits.

Many civil officials were present at that time, and it was that time that Gao Mingheng remembered himself.

Thinking of this, Li Hao's face turned red: "Shame, ashamed, I can remember it for the sake of Gaodi, but I am lucky to have three lives."

Gao Mingheng laughed and stopped giving in moderation: "You have to thank me for remembering you, otherwise I would really treat you as an envoy of a thief. I wonder what the so-called Lord Li came to Kaifeng Prefecture this time?"
