Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 Whistleblower (third update)

At this time, a flower boat was rippling up and down on the Qinhuai River, creating countless ripples.

The owner of this flower boat is Zhuo Qijun, the confidante Zhuo Qijun of Dongge University scholar Zhang Shenyan.

When Ma Jixiang arrived at the Qinhuai River with the body of Liang Yungou, the censor of Youqin Capital, in a boat, Zhang Shenyan was doing good things with Zhuo Qijun.

Only a woman's yelling and cursing could be heard in the cabin: "Immortal, take it easy, take less medicine next time!"

Ma Jixiang couldn't help laughing, jumped up suddenly, and landed on Zhuo Qijun's flower boat. Before Zhuo Qijun's servant could ask, he was kicked into the water by Ma Jixiang three times and five times.

Then, Ma Jixiang dragged Liang Yungou's body to Zhang Shenyan, and began to slash at Liang Yungou's body.

Liang Yungou's red-robed official uniform was chopped into pieces, and blood flowed all over the place.

Zhang Shenyan was so frightened that a wave of yellow water rushed out, and he fell to the ground in an instant. When he saw that the person who was chopped off was Liang Yungou, the imperial censor of the right capital that he had just met, Zhang Shenyan was so frightened that he fainted past.

Zhuo Qijun, the owner of the flower boat, yelled and fainted.

But when they woke up, apart from Liang Yungou's pile of rotten meat still in the cabin, Ma Jixiang had taken the head of Liang Yungou, the censor of Youqian capital, to Qingquan Temple.

As soon as Gao Hongtu opened his eyes, he saw a person staring at him with a pale face and no expression.

Like a ghost.

After a closer look, Gao Hongtu realized that it was a human head. He was so frightened that he sat up immediately: "Come here!"

The servant below rushed in: "What do you want to order, master?"

"What, what's going on here?" Gao Hongtu asked tremblingly.

But at this time, he suddenly found that the face of this head was very familiar, and he couldn't help being shocked when he looked closely.
: "Liang Yungou, the imperial censor of Youqian Capital, Zhang Shenyan's confidant! How did his head appear here!"

Gao Hongtu was surprised and scared at this moment, he had to start to wonder who killed Liang Yungou and threw Liang Yungou's head to him.

"This is Qingquan Temple. Most people don't know about it. Moreover, there are servants of my Gao family inside and outside the mountain. It is impossible for people from the Jianghu to mix in. Moreover, even if there are people from the Jianghu who want to kill Liang Yungou, there is no need to lose their heads. Up to here, the shameful person must have been extremely familiar with the official itinerary to find this place, and he was able to do it so quietly, I'm afraid it has something to do with the people in the East Factory, could it be that this is His Majesty's intention?"

Thinking of this, Gao Hongtu couldn't help but feel chills down his back, and thinking about what His Majesty Zhu Youjian said to him on New Year's Eve, he felt more and more that His Majesty was warning him.

"Could it be that His Majesty has already noticed something, at least maybe Liang Yungou has been found out", Gao Hongtu muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, even thinking about the consequences he would face if His Majesty found out about this matter, He was even more frightened.

wow wow!

Suddenly, a cry came from the backyard.

The boy servant hurriedly came in and replied: "It's the young master who is crying, but the nanny can't coax her, saying that a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit passed by just now and scared the young master."

"Flying fish suit, Jin Yiwei!"

Gao Hongtu began to realize that if he continued to wait like this, his whole family would suffer disaster.

Gao Hongtu, who had no intention of helping Zuo Liangyu seek power and usurp the throne from the very beginning, lost his guts now. Thinking that he was just forced by Zhang Shenyan to vote for Zuo Liangyu, now that His Majesty hasn't found out yet, why not If he voluntarily surrendered, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Gao Hongtu hurriedly ordered people to go back home.

Gao Hongtu made up his mind and felt that he could no longer hesitate. Seeing His Majesty's movements getting faster and faster, if he waited any longer, the butcher's knife would be on his neck.

But Gao Hongtu didn't dare to go directly to the palace to meet him, he was afraid that Zhang Shenyan and others would be alarmed by what he did.

Therefore, after the dead of night, Gao Hongtu took a carriage and came to Wang Chengen's mansion to post.

But Wang Chengen had already entered the palace at this time, Gao Hongtu could only wait anxiously in Wang Chengen's mansion.

It wasn't until dawn that Wang Chengen came back yawning, and when he saw Gao Hongtu coming to see him, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's a sin, it's a sin to keep Mr. Ge waiting for so long."

"My lord, you can save me!"

How could Gao Hongtu have the heart to blame Wang Chengen, now he can't wait to kowtow directly to Wang Chengen.

"Don't be like this, sir, what happened to you?"

In fact, Wang Chengen had guessed that Gao Hongtu's sudden visit to him was probably related to the death of Liang Yungou during the day.

"I have something urgent to see His Majesty, but I can't let others know about it. I also ask the prince to help me. Can I see His Majesty tonight? This matter is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the country, and it cannot be delayed for a moment!"

Gao Hongtu said.

Seeing his flustered expression and serious tone, Wang Chengen couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, and secretly said: "Since it is related to the safety of the country and society, it can't be delayed for a while, why is it hindering now, the people in Dongchang have to do something to say it."

Although Wang Chengen slandered Gao Hongtu, he didn't dare to delay the matter, and hurriedly shouted: "Go find a medicine box!"

Then, Wang Chengen took Gao Hongtu out of the city, and when he reached the Nine Gates, he said to Gao Hongtu who was disguised as a doctor:
"Master Song doctor, tell me what kind of illness your mother is suffering from. Several imperial physicians in these palaces have not been cured well. Now I can only ask you to take care of it."

"It's hard to say, you have to feel the pulse to confirm."

The two entered the Forbidden City while talking.

The officers and soldiers on duty naturally did not dare to stop Wang Chengen.

At this time, Zhu Youjian hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when he was about to get up to pay his respects, he saw Wang Chengen walking in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao Ge is begging to see you, saying that he wants to inform His Majesty about something important."

"Let him wait first!"

After a while, Zhu Youjian sat behind the curtain and knocked on the chime: "Let him come in."

Gao Hongtu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and immediately confessed to Zhu Youjian as soon as he came in: "Your Majesty, this minister is guilty, and this minister should not know that there are treacherous ministers disrupting the country and not report it! But I do have difficulties, they forced Let Wei Chen participate in this matter with them."

"Mr. Gao Ge, don't worry, let's talk slowly," Zhu Youjian said pretending to be serious.

Gao Hongtu swallowed for a moment, and then reorganized his words and replied: "A year ago, Zhang Shenyan told Wei Chen that he fabricated a joint letter between me and him to Zuo Liangyu. The content of the letter was that we were ordered by the crown prince to call Zuo Liangyu sent troops to King Qin of the capital to punish the courtiers Ma Shiying and his like, in order to rectify the country. The humble ministers were forcibly taken onto the pirate ship, and they dared not speak out because of fear. Now they almost missed His Majesty. Please forgive me. !"

"In addition, Zhang Shenyan is going to send people to spread rumors that His Majesty has already hanged himself in the capital, and now the person occupying the position of Emperor is just a remnant of the eunuch who pretends to be the Emperor, because I am the prince's teacher, and I even want my minister to go to the prince to recognize you, Your Majesty. It is the edict of the real Son of Heaven;

Also, Marquis Huaining Sun Weicheng and Zhang Shenyan were in the same party, intending to bring Ying Tianwei's three thousand cavalry to respond when Zuo Liangyu raised his troops, and even asked the minister to find a way to get them a batch of good horses. "

　There are still five hundred collections left, and there are over ten thousand collections!come on!come on!
