Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339 The Split and Reorganization of the Donglin Party

"what happened?"

Qian Qianyi raised his eyebrows angrily. At this happy moment, he was really disappointed.

"Hey! Qian Shangshu, no, it's Mr. Qian, who took the liberty to visit, please forgive me."

Wu Bangfu came swaggeringly, with an arrogant arrogance on his face, coupled with Jin Yiwei's flying fish suit, it can be said that he deserves a beating.

It's a pity that since Chongzhen, Jin Yiwei's sense of existence is too weak, and everyone has no fear.

"Commander Wu, I didn't invite you here!"

Qian Qianyi said coldly.

"You didn't invite me, but His Royal Highness Prince Yu ordered me to come, what should I do?"

Wu Bangfu showed a smug smile.

At this time, everyone present was shocked and couldn't help but retreat.

"Hey, it happens that everyone is here."

As he spoke, he raised his head and swept across the crowd, and said cheerfully:

"After investigation, a group of people headed by Qian Qianyi were suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. His Highness Jian Guo approved it, and Jin Yiwei will arrest him."

As he said that, he actually took out a piece of paper and read in public: "Everything you said will become evidence in court—"

"impossible."

Wang Duo couldn't help shouting: "Isn't Your Highness afraid of chaos in the south of the Yangtze River? It must be your false edict——"

"Fake decree?" Wu Bangfu shook his head and said, "With just a few of you, three No. 40 people, how could there be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River?"

As he spoke, he emphasized again: "Only punish the chief culprit, and the others will not be blamed."

"Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo, Li Zhan..."

As people's names were read out one by one, people realized that this was actually a group of people who welcomed Prince Azig back then, and they were all ministers and cabinet ministers of the six ministries of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Those with small official positions have no turn at all.

Now, everyone's thoughts are intriguing.

After leaving this group of veterans, they will have a chance to rise to power.

"Although Jin Yiwei arrests people, if they get even the slightest bit of damage, I will definitely impeach you in front of King Yu."

At this time, Gao Hongtu suddenly took a step and said loudly.

All of a sudden, there was a round of applause.

Apparently, Gao Hongtu's operation was not costly, but he won the hearts of the Donglin party members, who wanted to fill the vacancy left by Qian Qianyi and others.

Qian Qianyi was in a bitter mood, damn Shandong guy, I knew he couldn't be trusted.

Knowing today, why call them back?
"Let's go, everyone, don't worry, Jin Yiwei will handle the case impartially."

Regarding Gao Hongtu and other irrelevant personnel, especially after being interviewed by King Yu, Wu Bangfu was still a little apprehensive, and his tone could not help but soften a lot.

Now, such a good banquet turned out to be like this, and all the guests present sighed.

However, three people including Gao Hongtu were not included.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

Naturally, the banquet could not continue and ended immediately.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of Gao Hongtu gathered together to taste delicious food and continue their unfinished business.

"King Yu is very determined."

Jiang Yueguang sighed softly, and his tone was so long that it was hard to hear the true meaning.

"Dozens of people were arrested like this, soldiers are the courage of the king."

Lu Daqi said in a deep voice: "Back then, the late emperor was under the vassal town, and he was in a dilemma, so that Ma Shiying was in charge of the court alone, and the situation was very bad..."

"The first emperor has passed away, and the city of Nanjing belongs to King Yu."

Gao Hongtu stopped his preaching, with a smile on his face: "From what happened today, it can be seen that King Yu already hates the Donglin party members to the extreme, we have to think about what to do next."

"The Donglin Party can't stand it anymore."

"Partisanship is damaging the country."

Jiang Yueguang resentfully said: "If it wasn't for Chao Gang's injustice, how could we be excluded?"

"Hehe!" Lu Daqi sneered and said, "Just because none of us are from Nanzhili, how can we occupy a high position?"

"It's the same for Zhang Shenyan to leave Huguang. Now it seems that he has made a good move!"

Gao Hongtu nodded and said: "At the beginning, in order to fight against the eunuchs, I had no choice but to enter Donglin, and I have to make a break today."

"You mean?" Jiang Yueguang frowned, marveling inexplicably: "The backlash in it is not light."

"It's our chance for Qian Qianyi and others to go to jail."

When Gao Hongtu saw the appearance of the two of them, he felt confident and said, "Let's take our time and take this opportunity to find talents so as to compete against them."

Jiang and Lu nodded their heads, their eyes sparkled violently.

A few of them deeply understood that even if they surrendered again, they would not be integrated into the Donglin Party.

This road is blocked, then change the road.

The right time, place and people are all there, for the future...

……

All the bigwigs of the Donglin Party were taken down, instantly overshadowing King Yu's persuasion incident.

However, Fushe was called "Little Donglin" and "Sidonglin", and the public opinion was surging, almost boiling.

Founded in the second year of Chongzhen, the Fushe was centered on Jiangnan. It was originally a literary society, but it gradually transformed into a backup organization of the Donglin Party.

Its participants are basically young talents in Nanzhili, scholars, and juren, and their influence is even greater than that of the group of high-ranking officials.

A group of young people gathered, because of their fame and background, they trespassed in government offices, resisted taxation, and became middle officials.

It is also because of the existence of this group of people that the magistrate of the county government office has almost become a marionette.

Of course, the several societies with the same name are better at literature, and Fushe, which is good at politics, is mutual and promotes each other.

Therefore, several societies were also included in this rally for the restoration of societies.

"The case of treason, after King Yu supervised the country, the biggest move, the civil and military troops who surrendered that day, the entire army was wiped out..."

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Cai, the founder of Fushe, said with a melancholy expression: "The nobles are also wiped out."

Chen Zilong hesitated for a while before saying: "But, this is indeed a stain."

With these words, there was a moment of silence immediately.

After all, Fushe is composed of scholars, and the book business is strong. Although it is easy to be used, it also despises traitors.

Historically, Nanjing was conquered. Except for a few people who surrendered, most of them, such as Chen Zilong, either raised troops to fight or kept their names incognito.

"We have to do something."

Seeing this situation, Hou Fangyu looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Even if you are guilty, you should have three trials instead of Jin Yiwei to arrest people."

From this perspective, it makes some sense.

Jin Yiwei is notorious, and it is very likely that he will be beaten into a trick.

"How do we do it?"

At this time, someone asked a question.

"At this point, I can only personally beg King Yu for mercy."

Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Fushe and Donglin are one body, if Donglin is in trouble, how can Fushe stay out of it?"

"Yu Wang Rende, as long as we sincerely beg, we will surely release all the gentlemen!"

"Okay, count me in!"

"I'm coming too!"

The crowd was furious, and there were countless applicants at once.

Chen Zilong and other minorities can only participate in it.
