Ming Zuo

Chapter 545

Even Zhang Pu, who is at home at home, knows that Shandong has undergone drastic changes, and the bigwigs in Nanjing's officialdom will naturally get the news sooner.

The leisurely and leisurely officials and gentlemen who usually had nothing to do quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Master Fu, Lord Zheng, what should be the explanation for this situation?"

Li Sunchen, Minister of Rites, only stared at Fu Zhenshang and Zheng Sanjun.

Because these two belonged to the Donglin Party, and most of those who rebelled in Shandong were also from the Donglin Party.

Not to mention Li Sunchen, most of the people present were full of hostility towards Fu Zhenshang and Zheng Sanjun.They even doubted whether these two people would work together inside and outside to occupy Nanjing City.

Zheng Sanjun was furious, and said recklessly: "What time is it? If we don't unite as one, Daming will really be finished."

Everyone was embarrassed, and they also knew that the grass and trees were all over the top.

Lu Weiqi, the chief grain reserve, was worried.

"Now that the canal is cut off, food and grass cannot be transported to the capital. In less than ten months, the million people in the capital will be hungry and poor, and people's hearts will be floating."

Officials in Nanjing are obviously frustrated in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

They have already lost their power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are just eating and waiting to die.

As a result, now that such a major event has happened, apart from sighing and lamenting, everyone is at a loss.

Seeing that there was no solution, Xie Sheng looked at the leader.

"My lord, the imperial court is at stake now. I don't know if there is a good strategy for my Nanjing army?"

With such a big incident, not only the officials of the six ministries in Nanjing, but also all the nobles in Nanjing have come out of the mountains.

Among them, the most honorable person is undoubtedly Wei Guogong Xu Hongji.

Seeing that Xie Sheng found his head, and the eyes of others were full of expectation, Xu Hongji smiled wryly in his heart.

"Master Xie, we are also old friends. I don't need to say more. Don't you know what's going on here in Nanjing?"

Everyone was silent.

Thinking back to the Jiajing period, just a dozen Japanese pirates caused chaos in Nanjing, which can be seen from the lack of military equipment here.

Don't say that it is a question of whether to call up soldiers and horses, assist the court in suppressing the rebellion, or leave Nanjing.

Just when everyone discussed to no avail, Zhang Pu arrived.

Although he does not have any official status, he is just a grassroots.But his fame is so great that no one dares to underestimate him.

"My lords, the Great Ming Dynasty is at stake and is about to be overthrown. How can I sit quietly and not rise up? When my emperor is in a difficult situation, is it the way to be a minister?"

Seeing that Zhang Pu was aggressive as soon as he came up, everyone was quite annoyed.

Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao sarcastically said: "Mr. Ximing is famous all over the world. Although he is far away in the countryside, he can control the government affairs. Why don't you ask him to go up and summon people with lofty ideals to protect the country. It should be as good as turning the palm of your hand."

Zhang Pu didn't see any embarrassment, but his face was determined.

"I have exactly this intention, and you are willing to follow me. In the world, there are endless people with lofty ideals. Everyone collects firewood, even if the fire can start a prairie fire. A mere Shandong is against the left and right, and under the general trend of the torrent, destruction is only a matter of time. .”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Tang Guozhu, Marquis of Lingbi, reprimanded him: "You are just a class of scholars who can't ride a horse, can't draw a bow, and don't know the way of conquest, so how dare you speak up?"

Zhang Puxing came in a hurry, but he didn't expect that Nanjing's civil and military nobles had fallen to this place, and he didn't even have the slightest courage.

"Hmph, although Zhang is weak, he upholds the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, and puts life and death aside. You are high-ranking and powerful, the pillars of the country, and your Majesty relies on them. Are you not as good as Zhang, a grassroots person?"

Inspectorate Tang Shiji stood up.

He is the head of the Nanjing imperial censor, and he is a talker himself, so he can't stand Zhang Pu's brazen words.

"Zhang Ximing, everyone has the heart to serve the country. However, the battlefield is dangerous, and if you make a careless move, you will lose everything. Once the Great Ming Guozuo is killed by you and me, what face do we have to meet Emperor Taizu Taizong? You keep saying Speaking of war, do you know how to train troops? But how to arrange troops?"

Zhang Pu was quite unconvinced.

"My great Ming has many generals and countless talented people. As long as they are called together, what's the point of a mere battle?"

Xu Hongji couldn't take it anymore, so he complained.

"Daming Jiangshan, the ruin is in the hands of you bastards."

Okay.

The strategy for dealing with Zuo Menggeng was not discussed, and the internal chaos in Nanjing started.

Seeing a mess is not an option.

Xie Sheng hurriedly said: "Everyone, you should not be careless when things happen suddenly, and you should all go back and think about it carefully. At the critical moment, we must be sincere and united in order to preserve the overall situation. From my point of view, we will wait for news from the capital for all follow-ups. "

Without a word, everyone scattered.

Only Zhang Pu sat alone, with a mouthful of old blood spitting out.

He dragged his sick body to Nanjing, thinking that he could raise the banner of righteousness, perform feats, and become a leader in suppressing rebellion.What I didn't expect to see was such a farce.

What happened to Daming?
Could it be that no one dared to turn out to be born out of nowhere, to support the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and maintain the law of the court with awe-inspiring spirit?

Zhang Pu didn't know how he got out of the door, but he woke up again after being exposed to the sunlight outside.

Meat eaters are contemptible, insufficient and resourceful.

That being the case, it is necessary to use the method he is good at to mobilize people of insight among the people to create momentum and inspire people's hearts.

However, although he has a good reputation in Nanjing, it is not his own territory after all.

If you want to succeed, you must seek effective help.

Zhang Pu quickly clarified his goal and went straight to the past.

"Mr. Muzhai is here? Zhang Pu of Taicang is here to visit."

The person Zhang Pu thought of was Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Nanjing literary circle.

If the former high-ranking official of the imperial court and the current leader of the literary world of the Ming Dynasty can stand up, I think it will definitely inspire the hearts of the people and sweep away the decadence.

Ke Menzi had a bitter face.

"I'm really sorry, my master is sick in bed, he can't see the wind, and he can't be a director for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Zhang Pu, the door turned around and went back, and closed the door tightly.

Zhang Pu's frail body shook a few times, and there were bursts of darkness in front of his eyes.

He is not stupid.

How could he not know that this Qian Qianyi was avoiding the storm and trying to protect himself?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Pu couldn't stop laughing wildly until tears came out.

Snot runny nose from laughing.

Completely ignoring the gazes of the pedestrians around him, he couldn't help but shout angrily.

"The vast south of the Yangtze River is full of rats!!!"

It wasn't until this time that he realized that without his official status, no matter how great his reputation among the people was, he could do nothing.

The incident in Shandong has already spread throughout Nanjing, and the shock among the people is no less than that among the officials.

The most intuitive reaction is that all kinds of prices are soaring, and people are panicking.

When Xu Hongji returned home, Xu Wenjue had already been waiting for a long time.

"Father, Zuo Menggeng is a traitor and committed suicide, but we can't let him go."

Xu Hongji sat down calmly and sipped his tea slowly.

"How are you doing?"

Xu Wenjue has no other skills, and has a lot of crooked thoughts.

"Although Zuo Menggeng is far away in Shandong, we can't reach him. But his business is in Nanjing City. In my opinion, it's better to take this opportunity to arrest his people and seal up his shop, which will hurt his tendons." Bone."

Xu Hongji didn't show any expression, just squinting at his son.

"That's good, there is a shop in Chongwenmen. The old man promises you to deal with it as you like, and the old man will bear all the accidents."

Xu Wenjue was overjoyed.

In the past, although he was a playboy and messed around, Xu Hongji controlled him very strictly.Unexpectedly, this time, he could finally let go of his hands and feet.

He left in a hurry, summoned dozens of servants, and went straight to Chongwenmen.

When you arrive at the place, you can see that the glass-paneled shop is very different from other places from a long distance, and the signboard of "Tianzhidian" on it is even more ostentatious.

"Give it to me, and catch everyone inside."

A group of servants didn't care how many there were, anyway, they were covered by their masters, and immediately ran towards the shop brandishing sticks.

How can the people in the store not know about such a commotion?
The steward ran out quickly, only glanced at it, and couldn't help but be astonished.

"Young...Master, what are you doing?"
