Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 142 It's Time to Close the Net
Zhang Shenyan hated Shi Kefa to the core. He didn't expect Shi Kefa to choose to support Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, and he didn't understand why Shi Kefa would obey Zhu Youjian's orders so much.

However, what Zhang Shenyan didn't understand was why his plans were always a step behind Guangming Daily.

"Mr. Gao Ge, why did Guangming Daily act in front of us many times? A few days ago, the incident of Liang Yungou was intended to be used by Mr. Ge to mobilize his disciples to expose the atrocities committed by the factory guards, but it was exposed by Guangming Daily in advance. People all over the south of the Yangtze River are discussing official corruption, and the business of Qinhuai River has been affected, but this is our purpose, isn't it! The people in Dongchang are still popular, and even intensified to go to Qinhuai River to arrest people in the name of corruption. !"

"This is not over yet. Now the old man is about to mobilize people to investigate His Majesty's responsibility for fleeing south. As a result, His Majesty, Shi Kefa, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward first. Now, all the people in Jiangnan believe that His Majesty is wise to go south." , and denounced those who questioned His Majesty as traitors! Don’t you think it’s strange, Mr. Ge?”

Zhang Shenyan really suspected that Gao Hongtu had informed Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. After all, apart from his confidantes, Gao Hongtu knew about his plan in these two incidents.

But every time Zhang Shenyan got the news from the eyeliner he planted in Gao Hongtu's mansion, it was that Gao Hongtu had been reclusive and had no contact with anyone in the court.

Therefore, Zhang Shenyan could only clarify his doubts to test Gao Hongtu.

Gao Hongtu also knew that Zhang Shenyan was testing him, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "Zhang Shenyan, are you doubting me?"

"I don't dare, the old man was attached to Donglin when he raised Zhao Nanxing together with the old man, but if the old man didn't reveal what happened now, who would have revealed it!" Zhang Shenyan said coldly.

"Back when Wei Zhongxian dealt with Yang Lian and all horses were silent, I dared to speak up and speak up for Donglin. Now, because of the death of a little Liang Yungou, you betrayed the entire Donglin. Zhang Shenyan, who do you think I am? Based on what you said just now, from now on, I will cut off your righteousness by cutting off your robe!"

Gao Hongtu waved his sleeve angrily, and left here directly, and then went back to the mansion overnight to find Jiao Xing: "Please inform the prince, Zhang Shenyan has already suspected me."

After Zhu Youjian heard the news conveyed by Gao Hongtu from Wang Chengen, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "If Zhang Shenyan doesn't doubt him anymore, then his official position for so many years will be in vain."

"Chongzhen's 18-year military strategy has basically been allocated, the preparations that should be made have also been prepared, and public opinion has been controlled in our hands. It's time to close the net!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he ordered Shi Kefa: "Now Guangming Daily should launch a campaign to thoroughly expose the crimes of unscrupulous officials and gentry who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country and intended to bring chaos to the south of the Yangtze River, especially Zhang Shenyan and the Donglin Party!

Full disclosure, fuck them all up!
Gao Hongtu no longer needed to hide it, so he immediately mobilized his disciples to write articles denouncing the crimes of Zhang Shenyan and others!
The same is true for Shi Aiqing, who pointed her finger at Zhang Shenyan, exposing the wolf ambition between him and Zuo Liangyu!
Let the gentry and people in the south of the Yangtze River see Zhang Shenyan's face clearly, expose Zuo Liangyu's consequences after he invaded Nanjing with Zhang Shenyan's help, and disclose the atrocities committed by Zuo Liangyu's army in the Huguang area!

If necessary, we can encourage scholars to take to the streets to give speeches, so that all the people in the south of the Yangtze River can participate in the denunciation of Zhang Shenyan, Zuo Liangyu and others! "

"Dongchang assists the scholars and the common people. It is best to incite the common people to confiscate Zhang's mansion, and at the same time arrest Zhang Shenyan and others. The military officer does not need to spend so much trouble. Starting tomorrow, immediately arrest Huaining Hou Sun Weicheng, the second guard of the guards. The army immediately took control of Ying Tianwei's [-] cavalry! The heads of Fang Guoan, Ma Degong, and Tian Xiong should be sacrificed to the flag!"

After Zhu Youjian said this, Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory, and Shi Kefa, the inspector of ceremonies, took orders and left here.

Only Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, was still beside Zhu Youjian, silently watching Zhu Youjian sitting on the throne and thinking.

"Go and call the prince!"

Zhu Youjian suddenly felt that while discrediting Zhang Shenyan, the representative of the Donglin Party, and executing the restless warlord, he seemed to be able to take the prince out for a walk, to appease the refugees, to meet the gentry and common people, to sacrifice to Xiaoling, so that everyone in the world would See how harmonious my father and son are, and how much I care about the people of the world.

……

In Ma Shiying's mansion.

Fang Guoan walked back and forth in the front hall uneasily, eating cup after cup of tea.

Now that Zuo Liangyu's army is about to rise, Fang Guoan doesn't know how he should respond if the court changes, so he can only ask Ma Shiying for instructions.

He was able to be the commander-in-chief because he was single-handedly promoted by Ma Shiying, so he and Ma Shiying are naturally very close, but now is no longer the era of gentlemen and military officers, although Fang Guoan maintains a relationship with Ma Shiying on the surface. However, they did not fully obey Ma Shiying's wishes.

Now, Ma Shiying suddenly asked someone to come to discuss important confidential matters, so he had to come. After all, in his opinion, Ma Shiying knew better than himself whether the imperial court or Zuo Liangyu had the upper hand.

"Panshi, I kept you waiting for a long time. Now the situation is getting worse and worse. His Majesty convenes important ministers to discuss matters almost every day, and I can't get away!"

Ma Shiying walked up to Fang Guoan in a dignified manner, stroking his beard so that the poison in his sleeve would not show his feet.

Fang Guoan hurriedly got up and saluted Ma Shiying: "You are now in the pavilion, and you are also the chief minister, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. It is normal to work hard, but the current situation is really difficult to grasp. It is difficult for the officials to know the will of the court when you are far away in Sizhou. Come here to ask your elder to show you!"

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk, you and I haven't seen each other for several months." Ma Shiying poured the wine for Fang Guoan herself, and slipped the sleeve Chinese medicine powder into the cup near her side with the big sleeves of her toga. Then he picked up the glass mixed with poison, and pushed the glass without poison to Fang Guoan: "Drink this glass of wine first, and we will talk about the court and Zuo Liangyu later."

Fang Guoan knew that Ma Shiying had always been as cunning as a fox. When His Majesty went south, he deliberately tested the loyalty of Fengyang Governor, who controlled the military power of the four towns in Jiangbei, and transferred him to Henan. In Henan, the money and food looted by Liu Liangzuo was credited with successfully appeasing Henan.

Therefore, Fang Guoan was also a little worried that Ma Shiying would betray him again.

Therefore, Fang Guoan decisively snatched the glass of wine from Ma Shiying's hand: "The elder Ge is now the number one celebrity around His Majesty, the official fortune is prosperous, and the fortune is prosperous. Let the officials ask the elder to be more lucky, and maybe next year will also be able to do it." I have become the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard system."

Fang Guoan smiled and drank the glass of wine in Ma Shiying's hand.

"You, you are still so unruly!" Ma Shiying said with a smile, but suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Come on!"
