Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 337

Gao Jie took the lead, and the others were not to be outdone. They rushed to persuade them to come in, and for a while they overwhelmed the limelight of the public trial, and the whole Nanjing was clamored for an instant.

Regarding this matter, the Donglin Party was naturally not to be outdone, and almost the entire Nanzhili took action, with hundreds of copies densely packed, which can be described as shocking.

As a result, King Yu's anger and fear were even more aroused, and the pace of the investigation department accelerated.

At this moment, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and Lu Daqi came here in a hurry.

Gao Hongtu was in Kuaiji, Jiang Yueguang was in Nanchang, and Lu Daqi was in Zhejiang.

However, no matter how much hard work, when we arrived in Nanjing, all the exhaustion disappeared.

"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be King Yu in the end!"

Looking at the majestic Nanjing City, Gao Hongtu was filled with emotion.

Lu Daqi pondered and said: "The king of Yu cultivated in Huguang, and he did a great job in defeating the intruders and chasing the western thieves. It is only natural that he was able to come to Nanjing."

"In this troubled world, in the final analysis, we still have to rely on the army."

"However, I heard that Gao Jie from Xuzhou also obeyed King Yu. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Jiang Yueguang on the side frowned and said: "Such arrogant and domineering people should be wiped out."

"Hey, this time and that time!" Lu Daqi said softly, "The current life and death enemy of the imperial court is still the slaves of the Qing Dynasty, and Gao Jie's foundation is not stable, so it's not worth mentioning."

Several people nodded slightly, expressing their agreement.

If we say that before Nanjing was destroyed, they still had illusions about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now with the capture of Emperor Hongguang, everything has been shattered.

After entering the city, the three of them were summoned by King Yu before they had time to rest.

Zhu Yixi squinted his eyes and looked at the three of them. His elegant demeanor made it easy to break people's hearts.

Sure enough, those who are ugly can't be high officials at all.

"Although I have returned to Nanjing, I am sincere and terrified. I can't sleep at night. I wonder how many people can teach me?"

King Yu finally spoke.

Moreover, there was a look of thirst for talents in the words.

"Your Highness, the old minister has been in the place for a long time, but he only knows about one military incident."

Lu Daqi raised his head and said a little excitedly: "Nanjing is newly restored, but the place is not stable, and there are many ambitious people.

Your Highness needs to recruit troops and try to stabilize the southern Zhili, so that half of the country can be kept and the Northern Expedition planned. "

Zhu Yixi nodded slightly, his words made sense.

On the side, Jiang Yueguang often said: "The government officials are corrupt, and corrupt officials appear one after another. If you want to appease the people, besides the army, the most important thing is to refresh the government."

"If exorbitant taxes are removed, the hearts of the people will be happy, and ambitious people will naturally be helpless."

Compared with the other two, Gao Hongtu's political ability is sudden, and his personality is round and square. After careful consideration, he said calmly:

"According to the old minister, if the name is not right, then the words will not go well. The most important thing now is for His Highness to sacrifice to the Taimiao, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, to show the orthodoxy of the world."

"orthodox!"

Zhu Yixi glanced at the three of them with piercing eyes.

But these three people were not afraid, they straightened their chests and looked upright.

Compared with other Donglin Party members, these three people did not surrender to the Manchu Qing at any rate, and their foundation was considered clean.

In history, there are also constant struggles and never surrender.

There is also ability, but selfishness is heavy.

At the end of the explanation, what shocked him the most was the party struggle.

In the Hongguang Dynasty alone, the Donglin Party itself had disputes between the Lu-supporting faction and the Fu-supporting faction, as well as the Fushe and several societies.

The Manchus were naturally not afraid. He himself was a Manchu occupying the upper echelons, and there were still civil servants who surrendered, so the Donglin Party had nothing to worry about.

But Zhu Yixi is different. No matter how many officials there are in the shogunate, it cannot fill all the places in the south of the Yangtze River.

All, for the Donglin Party, it is necessary to pull and fight.

And the treason case was his method.

"What you said is true, and the widow has benefited a lot."

With that said, Zhu Yixi stood up and said cordially, "I still hope to stay in Nanjing to help Daming."

The three smiled and bowed together.

The names of monarchs and ministers have been determined.

The three left the temporary residence of King Yu and went to Qian Qianyi's residence.

There, a banquet has already been held to welcome the three of them.

……

On the other side, Sun Changzhou came to Nanjing Jinyiwei Yamen with vigorous steps.

Compared with the search department in a small corner, the Jinyiwei, built since the Hongwu period, is extraordinarily spacious and majestic.

Especially the formidable Beizhen Fusi, who is in charge of the prison.

"Commander!" At this time, Wu Bangfu, who once served as the commander of the Beijing North Town Fusi, is now the commander of Jinyiwei, bowing his waist to welcome Sun Changzhou's arrival.

Sun Changzhou and the others had already changed into flying fish suits, no different from ordinary Jinyiwei.

The remaining hundred or so Jinyiwei all had a respectful attitude and smiles all over their faces.

Sun Changzhou looked at the embarrassed Jin Yiwei, then at the Yamen, and sighed:

"Jin Yiwei, you are back again."

"That's right, the Commander is here, and the day when Jin Yiwei regains his reputation is not far away."

Wu Bangfu smiled obsequiously.

"Your Highness knows you. You fled from Beijing to the south, but you never surrendered. You still have loyalty."

Sun Changzhou was noncommittal, and said flatly: "Therefore, from now on, you will serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei and assist me in commanding the Jinyiwei."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Long En!" Wu Bangfu's eyes were slightly red, and he was grateful.

As he spoke, he swept across the crowd and said: "Although you have no credit, you have worked hard, all of you will be promoted to a higher level, and your salary will be paid for three months.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Ron!"

The royal guards kowtowed one after another, joyful in their hearts.

As he spoke, Sun Changzhou clapped his hands, and immediately said: "These lists are for the number of people we want to arrest. Considering the lack of manpower, I specially asked King Yu to transfer [-] brothers from the military justice department to help."

"In three hours, I want everyone on the list to be brought to justice and live in the prison."

"This?" Looking at the thin roster, Wu Bangfu's face turned pale with shock.

I saw that the number one ranked was Xin Chengbo Zhao Zhilong, followed by Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi, Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue...

Even in the back, he also saw grand scholars Wang Duo, Cai Yichen, Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi, Zuodu Yushi Li Zhan and other officials.

This thin roster almost wiped out the entire high-level staff in Nanjing.

"Does it look familiar?"

With a sneer on Sun Changzhou's face, his voice was loud:
"After several days of investigation by the Military Judicial Department, these people opened the city to meet the thieves, treasonous, disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, and have no sense of shame. They were all arrested under the order of the prison..."

"Impressive order!"

Wu Bangfu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said.

"That's good!"

Sun Changzhou nodded, and used the provocative method: "Jinyiwei has been in decline for many years, King Yu and I both want to see if the eagles and dogs of the past can chase rabbits and serve the country today."

This trick is old-fashioned, but it works.

The brocade guards held their heads high and their chests high, full of fighting spirit.

As the top snakes in Nanjing, no one knows these dignitaries better than them.
