The chaotic city of Nanjing finally quieted down, and watching a large number of people from the Nanzhili Prefecture leave, Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the expected infighting did not come after all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two still have some understanding of the grand event that happened in the Wei Mansion, and the martial arts faction led by Wang Siyuan and Xu Hongji was given more power by the local big clan faction headed by Zou Yuanbiao.

The reason why these doors are cleared is not that the Taicang Zhang family is involved, the Taicang Zhang family was stopped by Zhang Pu, did not send people to participate, and there was no such thing as occupying the state and county, and there was not even a family member to go to the newly replaced county government to help. Although Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui are talented and have a unique vision, they are still just small people at this time, and they can know this thanks to Zou Yuanbiao's hairstyle, which is similar to the Imperial Daily.

The reasons for their rebellion, the course of events, their slogans, and the purpose of justice were all written on these, and then they were distributed for free, expanding their influence and occupying the moral high ground.

Not to mention, this method is quite useful, at least a lot of young scholars have been fooled into running over to take refuge, hoping that the big thief will faint and return the world to a bright future.

However, most of the people did not move, especially those who were smart and outstanding among the scholars, as well as those small and medium-sized families with a long heritage, they did not make any moves, and they were very careful to draw boundaries and distance themselves from the big clans involved.

Even many officials who can't resist the raging tide are like this, all of them look loyal, preferring to die rather than die at all. It's not that they're not really afraid of death, it's just that they don't expect the other party to go on a killing spree, they are all scholars in the same line, and their relationship networks are complicated, and no one will act recklessly and cause unnecessary trouble, which is the basis of these dead officials.

Of course, not everyone in the world is so smart and cautious, some officials who are not firm in their position and are full of ideas for making money, as well as local down-and-out scholars, and small families with a desire for profit, they have responded and taken refuge in the big clans that control the state capital and county seats, assist the other party in controlling the local political situation, and make political capital for themselves.

"It's really a group of brainless people, they haven't even fought a tough battle between the imperial court....... the empire and here, so they can't wait to throw it over, and when they are dogs, their brains are in the water?"

When Zhang Pu and Chen Zhenhui learned about what happened outside Nanjing through their relatives and friends, teachers and classmates, and other connections, they invariably said that the two of them really don't understand, now that the situation is unclear, the empire and Nanzhili are not distinguished, how can they bet so rashly.

Look at those famous characters in Shilin, when they swore when they scolded the emperor for plotting to usurp the throne, they almost swore that the emperor really did this, but now I look at it, those who scolded Huan, shouted loudly, none of them showed their heads, they were all watching the situation, but some small shrimp jumped out, jumping up and down.

What made the two even more speechless was that the group of literati and gentry actually played some kind of alliance, and after dispersing from Nanjing, the representatives of these local clans gathered in Songjiang Mansion, made a fuss for a while, and elected a leader of the alliance to command all the soldiers and horses and cross the river to the Northern Expedition.

Do they think they are still in the Three Kingdoms, and they think they are fighting against Dong Lianjun? This kind of farce modeled on the drama completely made Zhang Pu lose hope in these people, and he didn't want to save the interests that his family was about to lose. In his opinion, the Son of Heaven sent troops south, although there were only 10,000 people, but it was like Mount Tai pressing on the top, unstoppable.

Chen Zhenhui's son Chen Yuting was in the middle of the court at this time, serving as the post of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, although this is a Qingshui Yamen, there is no authority, but the contact is high-ranking officials and nobles, and the people who come and go are all officials of the dynasty, and they belong to the Ministry of War, which is a central agency, and the news is naturally well-informed.

Therefore, Chen Yuting often writes letters, warning the children in the family how to be, just like this time, Chen Yuting wrote again, asking the family members to never get involved, and must draw a clear line with those who take risks for the sake of profit.

Zhang Pu is smart and has an unusual sensitivity to the court situation, and Chen Zhenhui herself is also smart and has an unusual source of consultation.

Both of them have decided that they must participate in this township test, and they must be lifted, and then go to the capital to participate in the examination.

"Hey, I don't know if it's going to work." Looking at the large army crossing the river on the edge of Nanjing, Zou Yuanbiao sighed deeply.

Zou Yuanbiao is a native of Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi, this place is not simple, the poets Yang Wanli and Wen Tianxiang are all from here, and Xie Jin, the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, is also from here, and Zou Yuanbiao is a fellow countryman.

Since the Red Pill coup, the old man who has not been out of office for decades is quite frustrated, and it was not easy to wait for his faction to come to power, but because he was deeply involved in the palace coup, he still stood on the side of defeat, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he was ruthless.

After a big purge, the entire Donglin high-level was implicated, and Liaodong Tuntian was allocated, and then, it was a drastic change in the power pattern, under a series of blows here, the entire Donglin Party suddenly dispersed with rain and wind, and the members were looking for people who could hold together for warmth, change the court, and form their own factions.

And Zou Yuanbiao, who is the third monarch of Donglin, was forgotten in such a situation, and he himself was worried that the emperor would find him angry, so he acquiesced in this forgetfulness, and quietly stayed in his hometown alone, preparing for this remnant life.

But Zou Yuanbiao was unwilling, full of resentment, and as the characters on the table became more and more brilliant, the unwillingness and resentment in his heart became more and more intense.

These are all his.

After 30 years of enduring humiliation and burden, and 30 years of silent lectures in poverty, he only ended up lonely. Just when he was about to appear on the stage and show his dazzling brilliance, he was suddenly beaten down and spent alone, and no one was reconciled to anyone else.

Zou Yuanbiao is the same, as soon as the incident of Yinan Zhili happened, he immediately got up and went to Nanjing, just to regain the stage he lost.

And the reality did not disappoint this old man, with the residual prestige of the Donglin Party and the popularity accumulated in thirty years of lectures, he finally sought to seize the position of the leader of the alliance. Although this process is a bit childish and a little disgraceful, Zou Yuanbiao doesn't care about these, he prefers the result to the process, and the result is right.

After the alliance, everyone set out from Songjiang Mansion, and after a circle, they returned to Nanjing, and then crossed the river from here, preparing to gather rebel troops from all over the country in the north to snipe the imperial army that went south to quell the rebellion. They turned a blind eye to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who claimed to be the commander-in-chief of the rebellion in Nanjing, and directly ordered him to come to meet and cross the river to quell the rebellion together.

Speaking of which, these people from big families are actually not stupid, they know that only guarding the Yangtze River is the best choice, and the reason why they oppose it is just to seize the dominance. The literati are arrogant, especially the literati of the Ming Dynasty, they look down on Xu Hongji, you are a martial artist, why should you lead us. They also looked down on Wang Siyuan, the Moling Wang family was just a small family, and when there was no way to buy enough land, they set their sights on the sea, and only then did they gather weavers to produce and sell silk.

Although the business of the Moling royal family is very large, but the official career is not smooth, and there is no land as an inheritance, other families who raise troops are not very eye-catching, and they will naturally not accept leadership. In this way, these big clans naturally have to choose the leader they recognize, and if they want to do so, they must first take the dominance, which is also a scene of comprehensive opposition in the Wei State Mansion.

But as mentioned earlier, the correct strategy of defending the Yangtze River is impossible to achieve, even if the dominance is in the hands of these local gentry and clans. There are equally many big clans in the north of the Yangtze River, and the relationship between these big families is always complicated, mutual in-laws are very frequent, in a series of intrigues and intrigues, in the end, the alliance finally reached a consensus on the conditions, in the north of the Yangtze River to reorganize the army, defeat the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, and then go north, overthrow the puppet emperor, and support the emperor's fifth son Zhu Youzhen to come to power.

And if you want to implement this plan, it is very important to have one person five, and that is Wei Guogong. Wang Siyuan could think of taking advantage of the convenience of the two dukes, and they naturally would not be unexpected, so they had such a domineering order, ordering the Duke of Wei to go to the alliance to make peace.

"What, are you really going?" Wang Siyuan looked at Xu Hongji playfully, smiling, making people unable to see their true emotions.

"Why don't you go, who doesn't know who uses the water?" Xu Hongji sneered, "Besides, if I don't go, they won't let me go, where are they here, I have a prestige." I don't go, tens of thousands of people who are crossing the river outside the city just rush in and take me down, this Nanjing city seems to be peaceful, but I don't know how many people are waiting to open the door for them. ”

Xu Hongji sneered, and the matter was analyzed quite thoroughly by him, "It's better for me to go, Wei Guogong, who guards the southeast, is also under the command of the alliance, which will make them more prestigious, and they will also have a more righteous reputation." In that case, I will go and I will not go, so why should I not go? ”

"Very wonderful analysis, worthy of Wei Guogong, this Guogong is really not in vain. It's okay if you go, save trouble, and they are literati, if they don't rise sharply, you may be able to take the opportunity to grasp the military power if you go. That's what I'm talking about, Lord Xu. Wang Siyuan clapped his hands and smiled, but his smile was very cold, revealing a chill.

"Hey, hey!" Xu Hongji smiled silently and did not say anything at all, even if his plan was exposed.

"It's okay if you go, you can cooperate with me, and it's time for me to go." Wang Siyuan dropped the sentence, and floated away, disappearing from Nanjing City in an instant.
