Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 346 Huang Zongxi meets Gu Yanwu by chance

"Get off the boat! The princess is off the royal boat!"

Seeing a bright yellow canopy coming down from a tall steel armored warship from a distance, the people watching couldn't help cheering excitedly.

"It's a pity that we are too far away to see what the princess looks like." Some people sighed regretfully.

"Since the princess is a celestial being, she is naturally extremely beautiful." Someone said.

"I heard that the princess knows magic, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"I think nine out of ten are true, otherwise how could we have defeated so many Tartars?"

"···"

Just as people around were discussing, Huang Zongxi heard the officials' shouts from the pier.

"See Jian Guo Chitose!"

Many common people either consciously or subconsciously followed and bowed, Shanhu.

"See Jian Guo Chitose!"

The mountain shouts were not in order at the beginning, but soon the entire pier, as far as the eye could see, everyone bowed down to the bright yellow canopy, and the mountain shouts became inexplicably uniform.

Even Huang Zongxi subconsciously did this.

"See Jian Guo Chitose!"

Afterwards, a loud, clear but majestic voice suddenly came from the pier——

"Peace all the ministers, and the common people please also be peaceful."

The sound was so loud that it was completely unbelievable for ordinary people.

For a while, many people thought of the rumor that the princess was a celestial being, and even Huang Zongxi, who believed in "all myths about the princess are rumors" before, couldn't help being suspicious.

But the huge voice didn't say anything more.

Then I saw Princess Kunxing's canopy heading for the city surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army and all the ministers.

The people near the pier began to disperse. Under the protection of the Nanjing Garrison Army and the Gongtun Army, no disturbances occurred.

Huang Zongxi thought it was crowded, so he only walked into the city after most people returned to the city.

Halfway there, he saw an acquaintance in a green official robe, and went to say hello.

"Jian Guo enters the city today, why is Brother Ning Ren here?"

This person is Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi is also considered a little famous, he knows about his release from prison, and he is not surprised to see him here.

After the two saluted each other, Gu Yanwu said: "I'm currently working as a secretary in the Ministry of War, and I was appointed by my superior to supervise the army in the army to maintain order outside the city, so as not to cause chaos among the people and trample on each other."

Huang Zongxi said: "I heard that Ruan Dayue was dismissed from office, who is in charge of the Ministry of War?"

"No one cares about it." Gu Yanwu smiled wryly, "Originally there were vacancies in the Ministry of War, and Ruan Dayue monopolized the power with the post of Minister.

After he was dismissed, no new minister or minister was appointed, and everything was assigned by Ma Shiying or the admiral of the Imperial Guard, Hong Niangzi.

Some people said that it was because Jian Guo was supervising the war in Yangzhou, and it was too late to take care of such things.However, some people said that Jian Guo intends to abolish the military department.

Because new troops around the country, such as the imperial guards and border guards, are under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Military Affairs Office. "

"Abolish the Ministry of War?" Huang Zongxi was taken aback.

Although he has never been an official, he is still a man, and he became famous at a young age, and he has many contacts with officials, and he is also an official family, but his father died under the torture of the eunuchs in the year of Tianqi.

Therefore, he knew far more about the affairs of the imperial court and the government than ordinary Confucian scholars.

Surprised, he couldn't help saying: "Is this impossible? Ever since the establishment of the six ministries in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has never been heard that the six ministries were abolished in any dynasty."

Gu Yanwu smiled inexplicably, "Brother Taichong, have you ever heard that there was a princess who supervised the country and would succeed her as the empress? Even Wu Zhao was just regent as the empress dowager, and then changed the name of the country. God, it's not the same as today's one."

Although Huang Zongxi had heard that Aunt Zhu was going to proclaim himself emperor before, but now he heard the exact news from Gu Yanwu, and he couldn't help being shocked.

He couldn't help confirming repeatedly: "Jian Guo really wants to succeed as emperor?"

"It's come to this point, how can we not succeed?" Gu Yanwu said, "Besides, according to what I saw and heard in the government office of the Ministry of War, this person really has all kinds of supernatural powers in him. Destiny's will is not empty words. "

"How is this possible?" Huang Zongxi was confused for a moment, and his expression became a little dazed.

Although Confucianism does not absolutely deny the existence of supernatural beings, it also teaches that "the son does not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods", so some outstanding Confucians do not believe in ghosts and gods.

But now someone like Gu Yanwu told him that Auntie Zhu really has supernatural powers in her body, which seemed to shatter his worldview all at once.

Gu Yanwu could probably understand Huang Zongxi's confused and complicated mood at this time, and said, "Brother Taichong, I still have an assignment, so I won't accompany you much."

After finishing speaking, he left with the last group of workers here.

···
Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi have been sent to prison.

Ruan Dayue, Liu Kongzhao, and Tang Guozuo were placed under house arrest.

Zhu Yousong is still in the palace, guarded by the Imperial Forest Army.

Compared with the original, Zhu Yousong was transferred to a side hall farther away from the Jinshen Hall—he was not put back in the harem, just because it was more convenient to keep him alone in front of him.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was panicking.

Although no one told him that Auntie Zhu was going to enter Nanjing City today, he still guessed it from the change of guards.

Zhu Yousong couldn't help but feel terrified when he thought that he had "used himself to be the emperor" and was very likely to be given a cup of poisoned wine or a white silk by the niece of the supervisor.

Although he has enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world, and even became an emperor, he still doesn't want to die.

In this panic and anxiety, Zhu Yousong stayed until the afternoon, and finally heard someone coming from outside the palace gate.

Then I saw a small group of female soldiers pushing the door and entering.

The leader Shi Chang said: "His Royal Highness, the supervisor has summoned you."

"Oh, oh." Zhu Yousong nodded subconsciously.

When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help thinking: Did this niece want to humiliate me before she killed me?Is it so cruel?
Then I thought again: my niece is a young woman after all, I cried bitterly when I saw her, and begged on my knees, maybe I can save myself from death?
In the messy thoughts, Zhu Yousong was quickly taken to the place, but it was Jinshen Palace.

When he arrived in the hall, he saw a beautiful but majestic young girl, dressed in a dragon-pattern vermilion robe, sitting high in the seat that belonged to him, looking at it indifferently.

Zhu Yousong's heart tightened, and he immediately plopped down on his knees, crying, "Niece, I really didn't mean to pretend to be emperor, it was all forced by Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude, and the four towns in Jiangbei..."

"okay."

The girl's crisp voice came down, making Zhu Yousong stop it all at once.

Auntie Zhu looked at Zhu Yousong, shook her head secretly, and said to herself: This King Fu is really not smart, and at this time, he will shift the responsibility to Ma Shiying, Lu Jiude and the four towns of Jiangbei.

Now that Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude are under her command, not to mention Huang Degong, one of the four towns in Jiangbei, how can Zhu Yousong alienate him?
Normally speaking, Zhu Yousong's words would only make him die faster.

However, she has the supernatural power to travel to future generations, and she has a husband of future generations, after all, she is not an ordinary monarch...

"Fu Wang, please get up." Zhu Yu said, "I called you here today to tell you that I will not kill you.

But for the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, I will not let you go for the time being. I am afraid that you and your family will be wronged to live in Nanjing for a few years. "

Zhu Yousong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and kowtowed, "Thank you Jian Guo for not killing him!"

Afterwards, Auntie Zhu waved her hand, signaling for someone to take Zhu Yousong away.

Zhu Yousong can't threaten her throne, so she doesn't need to bear the notoriety of killing her clan.

Of course, she will not release Zhu Yousong immediately, but will put him under house arrest for several years, and leave it to be dealt with with other princes and clans in the future.

No matter what, these people also have the royal blood of Zhu Ming, and they will still be of some use when Daming expands overseas in the future.

After Zhu Yousong was taken away, Zhu Wei said again: "Xuan Ma Shiying and Xie Xuelong come in."

Linglong responded, and soon eunuchs passed on their voices one after another. After a while, Ma Shiying and Xie Xuelong were brought into Jinshen Hall.

Aimee Zhu and Xie Xuelong met for the first time.

His hair was gray and his body was thin, showing a somewhat tall frame, and his face was solemn and resolute with a hint of bitterness.

After the two of them saluted, Aunt Zhu said, "You guys should report on the investigation and trial process of the corruption case in Beijing."

With that said, Aimee Zhu picked up a booklet on the royal case.

It is the record of the first town of the imperial guards confiscating the property of Zhu Guobi, Zhao Zhilong, and Gao Qiqian.
