Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 775
Hong Chengchou, as the leader of the Han officials who surrendered, and made great efforts to annex China by the Manchu Qing, must be killed. He must die, and not killing him is not enough to alert the world.

Five years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the world was in decline, half of the population was lost, the people suffered from the upside down, and the scholars suffered from the severance of civilization. Hong Chengchou said that neither of them made sense. Saying it is for your own good is more shameless than gangster logic.

Hong Chengchou's face turned pale, and his excuse to comfort his conscience was ruthlessly torn apart. He was an accomplice who surrendered to the Qing court because he was afraid of death, and then helped the Manchu scourge and murdered the Han people. His so-called political ideal for the common people of the world , is simply nonsense.

Seeing Hong Chengchou slumping, Wang Yan snorted coldly, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and walked from the new seat to the middle hall.

At this moment, Liu Shun hurried into the hall, hurried to Wang Yan's ear, and whispered in his ear.

Wang Yan frowned, and waved him to step aside temporarily, then glanced at Hong Chengchou, glanced at the hall, and said: "Lu Jianguo came to Nanjing, how to deal with this person, please tell me!"

Wang Yan pressed his head, a battle without gunpowder was about to start, and he was no longer willing to waste any more time on Hong Chengchou.

In addition to the Chu party, there were ministers who supported the Tang faction in the hall. When Lu Jianguo came over at this time, his expressions changed, and some of them had already whispered to each other.

The Hong bandits are just insignificant, and the general order is what they are more concerned about.

"Of course they were killed. It's not enough if they are not cut, the people will be outraged!" Gu Yuanjing said immediately, he didn't want to talk nonsense, and was already anxious to meet Lu Jianguo.

Hong Chengchou was ashamed when he heard this, but he had already expected this result.

But at this time Wanji put forward a different opinion. He was so angry that he was blown beard and stared at Hong Chengchou's words. Just killing him was not enough to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Your Highness, this thief is a hundred times more hateful than Qin Hui. It is too cheap to kill him like this. I thought that the Ministry of Industry could cast an iron mold, put this person in it, pour molten iron into it, cast a kneeling statue, and put him on the ground. Before Xiaoling Mausoleum, he was cast aside by all generations!" Wan Ji stood up, looked at Hong Chengchou, and said through gritted teeth.

Hong Chengchou's words just now, although there are many fallacies, but many of them said what Wang Yan could not say. He quarreled with the ministers, and it might be beneficial to Wang Yan's future administration.

But even so, Wang Yan would not be grateful to him, "Just do as Elder Wange wants, do you have any objections?"

"I agree, the traitor should be left with a bad reputation forever!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

Without asking Hong Chengchou a word, his fate was decided within a few words. Hong Chengchou smiled miserably, "Hahaha... Baitie is innocent...haha..." The whole person seemed to be crazy, and sat on the ground slumped , Desolate, extremely miserable and desperate.

Wang Yan ignored him, Hong Chengchou was just a small episode in his revival plan, he still had a lot to do, and there were more mountains to climb.

"Let's go! You and I will meet King Lu!" Wang Yan stepped past Hong Chengchou.

Many officials in the hall followed closely behind and filed out, several armored officers also stepped forward to set up Hong Chengchou and lift him away from the hall.

For King Lu, Wang Yan had some opinions this time. Duoduo was able to move the camp to Liuhe and transport troops to Nanjing several times, which showed that King Lu did not try his best to restrain him, at least he had some selfish intentions.

Fortunately, Nanjing was defeated this time, otherwise Wang Yan would definitely settle accounts with him.

King Lu's navy parked outside Shence Gate, and immediately went ashore, then first went to Xiaoling to pay a simple worship, and then went to the imperial city to pay homage to Emperor Daxing.

When Wang Yan arrived at the mourning hall, Lu Jianguo was paying homage to Longwu, while Tang Wang was standing with a cold face, Zheng Chenggong, Jin Shenghuan and others were also there.

In the hall, the Lu Wang faction stood on the right side of the mourning hall, and the Tang Tang faction stood on the left side.

When Wang Yan entered the mourning hall, Wanji and others immediately stood to the left behind him. Wang Yan and his subordinate Chu Dang were left, but they were a little embarrassed.

Wang Yan saw that everyone in the hall was looking at him, he was silent for a while, and then said: "His Royal Highness Lu, since you are here, let's go to the main hall to discuss."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and exited the mourning hall, followed by the Chu party.

After Lu Jianguo paid homage to the Daxing Emperor, the two factions looked at each other and then filed out of the mourning hall.

At this time, Xia Wanchun, who was sent by Wang Yan to the army of King Lu, hurriedly left the team of King Lu and caught up with Wang Yan.

"What's the attitude of King Lu?" Seeing him approaching, Wang Yan asked casually as he walked.

Xia Wanchun naturally knew what he was asking, and whispered behind him: "Your Highness, the King of Lu will not give up the throne easily, this time he is here to fight for the throne."

This was expected by Wang Yan, Lu Jianguo was only a few days later than Longwu, otherwise he would have been proclaimed emperor, he finally boiled Longwu to death, how could he give up the present opportunity.

In the main hall, the great treasure is empty, and the officials of the three parties are clearly separated, each standing in a place.

This kind of change was somewhat rapid, but in fact it was expected by Wang Yan. Once in Nanjing, the issue of reunification immediately rose to one of the main internal issues of the Ming Dynasty. This is a problem that must be faced.

The two factions of Tang and Lu did not speak at this time, so Wang Yan came to take charge of this important matter. He glanced at King Tang and King Lu, and then said: "Nanjing is very important to this dynasty, and it is now in the hands of my Ming Dynasty. How to change needs to be discussed in general."

Wang Yan paused, "This time we were able to take down Nanjing because of the joint efforts of the three parties. Facts have proved that as long as we are united within the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Captives are not invincible. I hope that everyone here can remember this point."

This is to give them an inoculation. I hope that they will be united externally, and internally, they must be measured and compromise with each other.

In terms of strength, there is not much difference between the supporters of King Tang and the supporters of King Lu, so Wang Yan's attitude is very important, and he has made great contributions to the fight against Wang Yan in Nanjing this time. Both factions have to give him face. Don't dare to offend him.

Wang Yan went on to say: "Now that the three parties are here, let's discuss it. Let me talk about the next few major events first. The first thing is that although Nanjing is coming down, Duoduo is still in Jiangbei, and the Zhejiang general Whether it is fighting or appeasement, there must be a definite plan and no slack. The second is to implement the posthumous title and funeral of Emperor Daxing as soon as possible, and the third is to enthroned the new emperor as soon as possible!"

After Wang Yan finished speaking, the hall was silent for a while, and a red-robed minister next to King Lu stepped forward, saluted and asked, "The third thing His Royal Highness said, I wonder if the Crown Prince has made a decision?"

This person is Zhang Kentang, a scholar under the command of Lu Jianguo.

Without waiting for Wang Yan's answer, Wanji stepped out first on the Tang King's side, and replied: "Emperor Daxing has made a decree, and the Tang Palace will inherit the Datong!"
