Deng Shixing heard him ask this and sighed, "If the memorial stated these reasons, or there was still some hope. But Liu Zhao was very sinister. If he impeached the Lord, he would definitely not mention the great victory of our army. Instead, he might falsely abduct the adults to steal food and privately steal food." Huan Zhen did not understand what privately robbed him, so he asked back. Deng Shixing said, "Private robbery means selling the food to the Tartars secretly." Huan Zhen was shocked. Isn't that the charge of Fan Wencheng's counter-espionage scheme to deceive Chongzhen into killing Yuan Chonghuan? Although he did not understand the law of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan's fate had been well-known for a long time. However, Yuan Chonghuan was very far away from him at that time and had no personal perception. Now Geng Ruqi was his chief officer, and suddenly told him this, how could he not be surprised?

After calming down, he asked, "Since he can impeach, can't we express our convictions?" Deng Shixing sighed, "It's not easy! Don't say that Lord Geng is just a military preparation and cannot write to His Majesty directly. Even if he gets a book, it's useless." He paused and lowered his voice, "Then Liu Zhao is now holding his 9,900-year-old thick legs, and his glory is so bright! Lord Geng's memorial was not enough to reach the Ministry of War, so he wanted to intercept them. "Huan Zhen thought about it and realized that Wei Zhongxian was the age of 9900, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He remembered that Geng Ruqi scolded Liu Zhao for being shameless in his official position a few days ago. No matter what, the two of them did not have the possibility of resolving their past grudges. It seems that this one was decided. However, since he became someone's aide, did he watch the chief officer be involved? He was not very familiar with the affairs of the officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, and now he asked Deng Shixing what to do.

Deng Shixing pondered and said, "For the current plan, we can only learn the usual method of Liu Zhao." Huan Zhen said, "Brother Zhongcheng means to make Wei Zhongxian good?" Deng Shixing nodded and said, "That's it. Just because of Lord Geng's temper, how could he do this? In the past, Shixing had mentioned it tactfully several times, and he scolded him very well every time." Huan Zhen slapped the table and said, "Is it true that Lord Geng is so stubborn?" Deng Shixing smiled bitterly and said, "This world is like this. In fact, everyone is drunk, why should I wake up alone?"

Huan Zhen heard him sigh, but at the same time he was calculating how long would it take to fall next year? According to normal history, Tianqi will die on August 22, and at this time, he may not be able to advance. After Tianqi's death, Chongzhen did not immediately attack Wei Zhongxian. On the one hand, it was because Wei Zhongxian had many party members in the court, the Ministry of War, Jinyi, and the East Factory were in his hands, and he might have been too much to revolt. On the other hand, it was because he did not have the actual evidence of his crime. Although the ruling people in the court knew that he had made a self-respectful edict, after all, every edict was covered with the emperor's seal, without any evidence. He took action rashly, but he could not bear it down. He thought about it and thought, but he could not remember Geng Ruqi's coming in history, and it was difficult to determine whether he could escape this time.

After thinking hard for a while, he always felt that it was important to protect himself in front of him. In order not to be restrained, Yuan Chonghuan had to curry favor with the eunuchs, let alone Geng Ruqi? It is heroic to put the axe in front of him and not to avoid it, but what is the use of heroes? In his modern concept, integrity is certainly admiring, but he has to follow it and feels very worthwhile. In addition, he also had another plan in his mind, but he didn't know how to act at this moment. But thinking that Geng Ruqi is a stubborn person who chooses good and is stubborn, how can he move him? It's quite difficult to think about how he can tell him. Shixing suddenly said, "Why would you like to ask Mrs. Geng to persuade her, it might work." Huan Zhen shook his head repeatedly and said, "This method is not good. Do you need Master Geng to know when you go to see Mrs. Geng?" He tried hard to recall the historical books and comments he had read in the past, and wanted to find two examples of pleasing Shangguan's success. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh that the Chinese people's flattery is getting worse and worse, and generations are worse than generations. He also wondered if he could ask Zhu Youjian to help clear the situation in the capital, but when he remembered his fear of Wei Zhongxian when he was in the residence, there was probably no way.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said, "What if I hide it from him?" Deng Shixing said in surprise: "No! Baili should not do anything wrong. If things fail, I will cause trouble for Lord Geng." Huan Zhen agreed without hesitation, but he had another conspiracy in his heart. After talking for a while, Deng Shixing said that he would give the room to him to recuperate, live apart on his own, and say goodbye to him. Huan Zhen lay alone on the bed, thinking back and forth in his mind, and fell asleep again.

The next day, Huan Zhen arranged something, and asked two soldiers to lift him up and ask for a meeting in Geng Ruqi's room. Geng Ruqi quickly asked for help. When he looked up, he saw that he was wearing plain clothes, with a hemp rope tied around his head, and a hemp rope around his waist. He couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Why is Baili? Is it at home..." Huan Zhen knew that he was suspected of being wrong and there was a funeral in his family, so he shook his head and said, "Zhen's outfit is not another reason, but he came to mourn the Lord and the officers and soldiers of this battalion."

Geng Ruqi's face changed color and said unhappily: "What is this? Could it be that my father died in the morning?" Huan Zhen pretended to be strange and asked, "Isn't it?" Geng Ruqi's face became increasingly ugly. He paused the teacup in his hand, and said, "I'm not tired after healing his injuries." Huan Zhen knew that this was a order to expel him, so he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Sir, really don't want to listen to Zhen's words?" Geng Ruqi covered his ears with both hands and shook his head and said, "Don't listen!"

Huan Zhen sighed, "Well. Since the lord refuses to listen, Zhen has nothing to say. After the lord goes to the lord, Zhen pays homage to the begging for wine and drinks." Geng Ruqi was furious. Although Huan Zhen was recommended by his friend **xing, who could not be upset like him? He shouted, "There is justice in the world whether he dies or immortals. There is no need for Mr. Huan to worry about me!" Huan Zhen heard him speak this pylomatic words passionately, and couldn't help but sigh, "Well. I think I'm better than Yang Dahong?" Yang Dahong was Yang Lian. He impeached Wei Zhongxian for twenty-four crimes. The matter was exposed, and Wei Zhongxian was framed and imprisoned, and tortured to death. He was a loyal minister known to everyone in the late Ming Dynasty.

Geng Ruqi replied without thinking, "It's naturally far inferior. Lord Yang is open-minded and noble, how can I compare with him?" Huan Zhen heard his horoscope of "being open-minded and noble," and thought of the situation of the descendants of the Yang family, and couldn't help but sigh a little. He said, "But I think I am better than Han Huaiyin?" Han Huaiyin was talking about Han Xin. When Han Xin was not successful in his early years, he once endured the humiliation under his crotch, but later he was finally used by Liu Bang to achieve great achievements. Geng Ruqi heard that he compared himself to Han Xin and felt that Han Xin was a famous general and a great rebellious king. How did you compare me with him? He frowned slightly and said, "It's better."

Huan Zhen wanted to say it again, but waved to Geng Ruqi to stop and said, "I know what you mean, I want to be a man for the sake of future plans. However, I have the principle of being a human being. You don't have to persuade me anymore." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. Huan Zhen had no hope of convinced him, so he said a few nonsense and said in a depressed manner. He went out to find Deng Shixing. After saying this, Deng Shixing was helpless and had to put this matter aside for the time being.

A few days later, Huan Zhen's injuries gradually recovered and he could go out. During these days, he ran to Geng Ruqi's hospital bed every day and clamored, hoping to make him feel annoyed, but Geng Ruqi seemed to be fine, just turned a deaf ear. In the battle with Halashen, there were more than 800 prisoners who surrendered. Huan Zhen and Deng Shixing were screened and registered one by one, which took a lot of time. In addition, the pensions and injuries and reorganization of the army were also very troublesome. Huan Zhen followed Deng Shixing every day and learned a lot of things. As for how to deal with the prisoners, Geng Ruqi did not dare to make a decision without his superiors, so he had to temporarily take him outside the camp and set up a tent for them to live in.

As the days passed day by day, as the end of the year approached, everyone was looking forward to the imperial edicts of the court every day, and they were worried that when the edict came, they would arrest Geng Ruqi in Beijing and punish them. Only Geng Ruqi, who was doing nothing, still criticized official documents and practiced calligraphy every day, was very satisfied. When Huan Zhen got the chance, he secretly peeked at the thin veteran who saved his life. However, after paying attention every day, he did not realize that there was anything unusual about him. Although he suspected that he was the real entourage of the money, he had no evidence in his hand. When he asked Meng Bao, he would rather die than tell him, but went directly to ask the veteran, but he was afraid of being shocked by the enemy, so he had to remain silent.

This day was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Huan Zhen was preparing to sacrifice the kitchen. Suddenly a soldier rushed in and screamed incoherently. Huan Zhen finally understood that he had been ordered to arrest Geng Ruqi's cavalry who had entered the capital. He was shocked and thought that even if the court punished him, he would have to wait until the New Year, but he could not wait for the year. Now as the soldiers went out, he saw a circle of officers and soldiers in the schoolyard, some of whom had knelt on the ground, and people cried in a low voice. Geng Ruqi had already put on shackles and stood in the prison cart. Seeing Huan Zhen come out, he looked at him from afar, as if he had something to say. Before he could leave, the prison cart had driven away. The officers and soldiers cried loudly, perhaps in their minds, they had already treated Geng Ruqi as a living parent.

Huan Zhen watched the prison car gradually fading away, and he was confused and didn't know what he should do to help Geng Ruqi avoid this disaster. He was in a daze, but suddenly he felt someone pushing him. When he looked up, he had never seen him. He was wearing an official uniform. He asked a soldier beside him, but he was Xu Zhao, the general who was supposed to be in charge of the camp. Although he was Geng Ruqi's mute, Xu Zhao was the landlord, so he could not be polite.

Now he went forward to see him. Xu Zhao looked very arrogant and said a few perfunctory words, saying that there is no shortage of manpower in the camp and that idle people should not stay, and they must leave early tomorrow morning. Huan Zhen was angry, but he had nothing to say, so he could only pack up his bags and prepare to leave. Geng Ruqi was concerned about Liao affairs. Although he did not understand military affairs, he liked to collect information about the situation in Liaodong. Huan Zhen searched in his study, found all the relevant notes, and took them away.

He remembered that Geng Ruqi's family was still in Zunhua, so he invited Deng Shixing to visit him. However, Deng Shixing said he wanted to go back to his hometown in Shandong, and refused. Huan Zhen secretly sighed that he was frustrated and had to let him go. When he found the Geng family, the house was empty. It turned out that when Geng Ruqi was arrested, his family also took the locks into Beijing. He felt that this matter was not small, and hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to Beijing to take a look. Thinking that he had originally wanted to do something in Geng Ruqi's curtain, he didn't know that Fang came soon and encountered such a thing. He was going back only a month after leaving Beijing. It was really a fate to make people.

The prison car was very slow. Huan Zhen changed his horse all the way and whipped it up. Within two days, he pulled the prison car far behind. Finally, on New Year's Eve, he arrived in Beijing.

In history, Geng Ruqi was accused of embezzlement for 6,300 taels of corruption and was imprisoned when Liu Zhao built the Jizhou Shengshen in the seventh year of Tianqi.
