Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 331 Clean the house and move in again

"Your Highness, it is the responsibility of the Yamen to judge cases!"

The magistrate of Jiangning County, Hu Chong, who is now acting as the magistrate of Yingtian (Nanjing), met the king of Yu and spoke righteously.

As the first official to turn to, from the county magistrate directly to the prefect of Yingtian, especially in a position like Nanjing, the triple jump is already indescribable.

It's like an ordinary county magistrate in later generations, who has been promoted to the mayor of the capital, and one step further is a national leader.

"yamen?"

King Yu was a little tired, he took a sip of strong tea and said casually:
"Nanjing is the capital after all, one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, not a place where filth is hidden."

"I don't have any other requirements, but to clean up the entire city of Nanjing, whether it's on the surface or inside..."

Seeing that the latter was somewhat confused, Zhu Yixi emphasized: "Today's Nanjing City is not what I want."

Hu Chong was silent when he heard this.

Immediately, the heart was full of fire.

This is an opportunity, a chance to completely win the king's heart.

Although King Yu supervised the country in Luoyang, he never ascended the throne. The cabinet, six ministries, nine ministers, and southern provinces all had a lot of vacancies.

Although he temporarily acted as the magistrate of Yingtian, he just took the lead, and he will step down sooner or later.

And during this time, you have to cherish it.

"Your Highness, are you talking about Xungui?"

Hu Chong looked around and saw that there were only eunuchs serving, so he said cautiously.

Zhu Yixi was taken aback, looked at him in surprise, and said bluntly: "That's right, including Xungui."

include……

Hu Chong muttered in his heart, thought for a while, and immediately realized: the imperial court, Donglin party members.

But I am also a member of the Donglin Party!

Seeing that Hu Chong's face turned from red to white, then turned from blue to white, and his face was full of solemnity, King Yu smiled.

Still a smart guy.

"Let me tell you the truth!"

Zhu Yixi stood up, paced, and brought it to the pavilion in the small lake, with a rather lazy expression:

"Except for those nobles who are greedy for life and afraid of death, many courtiers who are not loyal and weak-hearted can't stay in Nanjing."

"It's their choice to become an official, live in seclusion, or go to Guangxi or Guizhou."

"As for those like you who endure humiliation and cannot decide their own direction, you can choose to use it—"

Choose and use it?
How to choose?Who will choose?
It all goes without saying.

A smart person like him who understands current affairs should make great use of it.

Thinking of this, he trembled all over, and said with high spirits: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true."

"Fabricating evidence to frame things like this, I don't bother to do, so I decided to start with the hooligans in the market, and extend backwards a little bit..."

Zhu Yixi sneered and said, "Those high-rise mansions and the homes of the ministers are not as clean as imagined?"

This is the bottom line!
Hu Chong was amazed.

If it is said that it is suppressed politically, there is still a chance for future generations to stand up.

But starting from the actual murder cases, it can be said to be nailed to the coffin.

"Your servant understands."

Hu Chong said seriously.

"Understood? That's good."

King Yu was in a better mood: "After all, you were the magistrate of the county, and now you are the prefect of the prefecture. You must cooperate secretly."

After a while, Hu Chong's mood improved inexplicably.

Starting today, his black hat will be stained with the blood of those colleagues and even superiors.

But he doesn't care, as long as he can be promoted and stand on the side of the winner, it is enough to leave his name in history.

……

His Royal Highness Prince Yu was busy stabilizing the situation in Nanjing, but the news that Nanjing City was destroyed spread like the wind, causing an uproar in the whole world in an instant.

The first to get the news was Gao Jie who was always following the news in Nanjing.

After Gao Jie occupied the two towns, he kept the local situation stable and appeased the army, and he had to always be on guard against the annexation of the Manchu and Qing forces in the north.

When Yu Wang's soldiers entered Nanjing, he was so noisy that he wanted to come and help, so that he could once again gain the power of supporting the dragon.

Who knew, King Yu was really too fast,

From Anqing to Nanjing, within three or four days, he didn't have any food and grass ready, so he could only helplessly miss the opportunity.

However, he didn't want to waste such time, and planned to annex the Luzhou area again, and harvest Huang Degong's territory and remaining troops.

As for the Man Qing occupying this place, he already looked down on him.

"Too fast, how could this be?"

Following the news that King Yu entered Nanjing and defeated Wu Sangui, Gao Jie immediately stopped sending troops.

Xing Shi twisted her plump waist, her pretty face was as cold as ice:

"If you take down Luzhou, you will not only offend Manqing, but also King Yu."

"At that time, no one will come to save you, so I will take your son and remarry."

"That's what the lady said."

Gao Jie smiled apologetically, stroked his belly, and said with emotion:
"At this time, we still have to be more cautious, and the most important thing is to be safe."

"However, ma'am, you said King Yu ascended the throne, what kind of title should I want? Now that I'm an earl, another duke should be suitable!"

"Duke?" Mrs. Xing was shrewd, but she was still dazzled by titles.

You know, Daming's title is hereditary, and her son will inherit it in the future, naturally the higher the better.

However, her fiery heart was instantly destroyed by Gao Jie.

"It's better to be a king! Wu Sangui is now the king of Pingxi, and the king of Yu can't be so stingy."

Gao Jie touched his chin, his eyes were full of greed.

"Wang Jue? You are from Shaanxi, how about King Qin?"

Xing's eyebrows raised, and the corners of his mouth were ironic.

"King Qin is not suitable, he is still there..."

Who knows, Gao Jie really followed her words, the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

Mrs. Xing shook her head, and knocked down the table to wake him up: "Even a woman like me knows that in the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no king in his lifetime."

"When the time comes, not to mention King Yu, even Man Qing will not tolerate you."

Gao Jie woke up with a start, his face full of regret.

"Ma'am, what should we do next?"

Gao Jie only knows how to fight, and the usual affairs are all handled by the Xing family. The two complement each other, and it is the current situation.

Of course he also knows that although there are many beautiful concubines, he still respects the Xing family very much.

"What can you do? Send a congratulatory letter to King Yu, and persuade him to come in!"

Xing shi showed deep thought and said word by word.

"Persuade?"

"Although there is only a thin line between Jian Guo and the emperor, he is not the emperor after all. We still have to learn from the merits of the dragon."

……

Similarly, this news arrived in Jiangxi at the fastest speed.

Jiujiang City, the news distribution center, immediately spread.

King Yi, who was supervising the country in Fuzhou, was instantly at a loss.

What was even more alarming was the civil and military officials in Fuzhou.

After all, King Yi is a clan relative, so he couldn't go to Fengyang to stay for a few lifetimes.

And they are officials, and their political stains will never be washed away for a lifetime.

Even future generations are included.

The panic-stricken officials flocked to the palace, knelt down and begged:

"Your Highness, please go to Nanjing—"
