Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Forced Persuasion

Such bloody scenes were staged in Nanjing city day after day, sparking one good show after another.

And for many nobles, they are also in a particularly bad mood.

Duke of Wei.

As the saying goes, there is no honor in the Ming Dynasty, and the most prosperous is none other than the Xu family of the two kingdoms.

As a descendant of Zhongshan King Xu Da, Beijing is Ding Guogong, Nanjing is Wei Guogong, and they have flourished for more than two hundred years, which can be said to be a tree with deep roots.

It's a pity that at the end of the dynasty, no matter how rich and noble a family is, it will also fall.

"My lord, save me, my lord—"

"I was wronged..."

Dozens of people cried and cried, and the slaves of the past seemed extraordinarily weak now.

In the hall, Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue sat paralyzed, his eyes were angrily looking ahead, his face was flushed, and he wanted to say a few words, but he was frightened by the soldier next to him.

The servant in front of him has served him for more than ten years and has been a domestic slave for generations, but today he was taken away face to face, what a shame.

"Duke, since everyone has been caught, I'll go first."

The burly man from the Military Judiciary Department cupped his hands, and then swaggered away.

Behind him, dozens of servants, weeping and mournful, kept looking back, looking forward to his master's rescue.

It's a pity that Xu Wenjue didn't dare to provoke King Yu, so he could only turn his head and pretend he didn't see it.

After a long time, when the voice disappeared, Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue pursed his thin lips, looked at the empty hall, and said nothing.

"Master, what's going on?"

At this moment, the Duke's wife ran out with her maid, her face was livid: "Those few, I brought them from my mother's house, why did you let them be taken away?"

"take away?"

Xu Wenjue gritted his teeth, his eyes seemed to breathe fire: "You think I think so? How many of my baby brothers are there?"

As he said that, he let out a sigh of relief: "Master Yu, what can we do? If we don't implicate us, it's pretty good."

The madam frowned, puzzled and said: "You are the Duke of Wei, how dare King Yu bully you at will?"

"This time is different from the past!"

"Go to another house to have a look. We are honored and honored, but we can't just be bullied like this. Don't Baoguo Gong and Xin Chengbo care?"

Hearing this, Xu Wenjue was taken aback.

Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, was originally the Marquis of Funing, but he flattered Ma Shiying during the Hongguang period, and thus became the Duke of the State and the leader of the nobles in Nanjing.

In fact, Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong, who led the defense of Nanjing, was not only senior, but also powerful, and was widely supported.

"Ma'am is right!"

Xu Wenjue nodded and said eagerly, "I'll go and have a look."

After saying that, he changed his clothes and went out.

And when he came to Xincheng Bo's mansion, he saw the servants were in a trance, their faces turned pale, obviously they had been frightened a lot.

Could it be that Xinchengbo's mansion was also arrested?

Xu Wenjue was startled, and his pace slowed down a little.

"My lord, this way please!"

The servant led the way and came to the living room.

"Grandpa, good day!" "Grandfather, good day!"

A series of nobles bowed and saluted, and the sound filled the living room.

This is the respect for Wei Guogong, the first honorable man in Ming Dynasty.

This person stands in the first row at the annual sacrifice.

"Well!" Xu Wenjue nodded, looking a little dazed.

I saw that all the nobles in Nanjing city came to the mansion.

The famous ones are:

Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi (descendant of Tanghe, king of Dongou); Liu Zuochang, Marquis of Anyuan (descendant of Duke Rong Liusheng in Yongle period); Xu Hongjue, Marquis of Yongkang (descendant of Duke Cai of Xu Zhong in Yongle period); Period Qiyang Wang Li Wenzhong descendants).

In addition, Gu Mingjiao, Marquis of Zhenyuan; Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping; Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining;

Even the son-in-law Qi Zanyuan (Princess Suiping of Shang Guangzong) was also in the mansion, saluting respectfully.

After returning the salutes one by one, Xu Wenjue sat on Zhao Zhilong's lower left hand.

At this time Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi were sitting on the left and the right, as soon as he stepped forward, the two old nobles had to get up and salute each other.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhilong asked knowingly.

"It's nothing more than being ransacked, and I feel uneasy, so I simply came to you to inquire about the news."

Xu Wenjue sighed, his face full of solemnity.

"Coincidentally, everyone is."

Zhu Guobi sighed, with a long drawl.

Now, all the people present fell silent, witnessing the three talking.

Zhao Zhilong smiled, he pursed his lips and said: "Didn't King Yu say it, this is cleaning up the remaining poison."

"Or, kill chickens and scare monkeys!"

Zhu Guobi suddenly said something, which directly touched the hearts of everyone.

It made them nod their heads.

Arresting people went to their house with great fanfare, which not only ruined their family's reputation, but also blatantly targeted them.

It can be expected that those literati who have been watching for a long time will definitely want to impeach. Once King Yu takes it seriously, they will be in danger.

"Could King Yu blame us for dedicating the city back then?"

Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue said abruptly.

"It's no wonder we, the late emperor has already run away!"

"The dragons have no leader, so they can only surrender?"

All the nobles shouted one after another, trying their best to shake off their relationship, as if they were pure white lotus flowers.

At this time, Zhao Zhilong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "Okay, we can't discuss anything here, now we will keep to ourselves and leave those hands and feet clean."

As he spoke, he scanned the crowd and said coldly, "If I get caught by the tail, I don't want to ask someone to pick it up."

So, this meeting ended without a problem.

After everyone left, Zhao Zhilong sneaked to Qian's house and asked to see Qian Qianyi.

"Why is Uncle Xin here?"

In the study room, Qian Qianyi was playing the piano with Liu Rushi, and the woman's eyes were watery, her waist was soft, and she was lying in her arms, full of affection.

Qian Qianyi was disturbed, he was overjoyed, he hurriedly got up, and said apologetically: "Madam, wait a moment, I will go back for my husband."

At that time, he was greedy for beauty, and now after the birth of his daughter, his body is even weaker. He can't stand the upright woman in her prime.

Tidying up her clothes, Liu Rushi's eyes were full of resentment: "Husband, go!"

When Qian Qianyi came to the living room, he went to the careful Xin Chengbo, Zhao Zhilong.

"Shang Shu!" Zhao Zhilong sighed after sitting down, "Ever since King Yu entered Nanjing, he was very displeased with our old ministers, today he came into our house with great fanfare to catch thieves, without showing any mercy."

"Thinking about it, he hates our act of lowering the Qing Dynasty. Today is me, and tomorrow I am afraid it will be the king."

Qian Qianyi was slightly moved,
He would not be sad when all the nobles died, the only thing he thought about was that King Yu was settling old scores.

It would be troublesome to wait for others.

Gao Hongtu and others are still out of town and have never returned. It would be bad if the Donglin Party was completely rejected by King Yu.

"Uncle came today, didn't he just talk about these things?"

Qian Qianyi looked directly at him and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Zhilong raised his head, and said earnestly: "I will not hide anything about Butang anymore."

As he spoke, he showed a hint of excitement and said:
"The king of Yu is still in charge of the country now. The country cannot live without a king. This is the time for us to act."

"As long as we write a letter to King Yu at this time, urging him to ascend the throne, then even the previous dislike will be wiped away after this."

"At that time, it will not be far to regain trust."

"Persuade?"

Qian Qianyi was taken aback.
