In the Fengtian Palace, the guards of the Yongwei Battalion shouted and shouted, and forcibly dragged away the nobles and officials one by one.

The nobles and officials of the right class were all confused, and only now did they know that this was the conspiracy of the crown prince, first pretending to be weak, and then pretending to be angry and helpless, but in fact they wanted to wipe out the opponents!

Wu Weiye and the others felt bitter in their hearts, and when they met such a treacherous prince, they wanted to cry.

Yang Shicong was not much better, his legs trembled a little, fortunately he stood on the right team at the critical moment, otherwise he would have been like the gang on the right......

In less than a quarter of an hour, a large area of the entire Fengtian Hall was vacated, and it gradually quieted down.

The rest of the people in the hall were silent, and secretly said that the crown prince played a good game of chess, which was really strong, but I don't know how he will deal with the matter of the merchants' strike and the gathering of scholars in Qixia Mountain to hold the Jinling Conference.

Zhu Cihong seemed to see the doubts in their hearts, he stood up and said with a smile: "Outside there is a strike and a conference, and this momentum is earth-shattering, and it is not weaker than the momentum in this hall. ”

He paced slowly in front of the throne and said lightly: "A bunch of things for their own selfish interests, they think that this palace will not dare to do it?" It's good to jump out like this, just kill it all at once! ”

Zhu Cihong's words shocked the ministers in the palace, the crown prince's methods were too drastic, if he acted like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to govern the world in the future.

Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "Your Highness, I only see the ministers, or just punish the person who is the leader, and it is not appropriate to make a big move!" ”

Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the household department, also said: "The minister thinks that punishing the first evil and releasing the rest can not only express His Highness's determination to implement the new policy, but also show His Highness's benevolence, so as not to offend Jiangnan scholars and merchants." ”

Li Banghua and Zhang Guowei are both members of the Donglin Party, and their roots are also in Jiangnan, but the two of them put the court and the people first in their hearts, and they are far more noble than those Donglin people who are bent on selfish interests and flattering the gold lords.

Zhu Cihong has been planning for a long time and wants to uproot the power of the Donglin Party, how can he give up easily?

He said lightly: "This palace has killed a lot of people over the years, and the effect is not bad, from this palace to this land south of the Yangtze River, I have tried my best to restrain it, and I want to innovate through gentle means, but there are too many thieves for self-interest, and I don't think about grace, and it is becoming more and more rampant!" ”

Zhu Cihong suddenly said coldly: "Since this is the case, this palace can only raise the butcher's knife again, break through the clouds with the power of thunder, kill him upside down, and kill him Lang Lang Qiankun!" ”

He shouted, "Xu Sheng! Send a signal to order all the Tianwu armies in all places to dispatch and start closing the net! I want to let the people of the world see what kind of tragic fate will happen if they dare to go against this palace! ”

Zhu Cihong's words made the blood boil among several generals of the Tianwu Army, and Xu Sheng quickly received the order and sent someone to release all the military carrier pigeons that had been prepared for a long time to pass on the military order to transfer troops.

Qixia Mountain, known as the Setshan Mountain in ancient times, is known as the "Six Dynasties Victory", there have been five kings and fourteen emperors in history to climb the Qixia Mountain, known as "the first Mingxiu Mountain in Jinling", in the Ming Dynasty was listed as one of the "Forty-eight Views of Jinling".

Qixia Mountain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is Longshan Mountain in the east; There is Tiger Mountain in the west, the Yangtze River in the north, there are many kinds of plants on the mountain, especially the sweetgum fragrance, every late autumn, the mountains are full of red, like the sunset perch, it is magnificent.

Fengxiang Peak, one of the three peaks of Qixia Mountain, is holding a grand gathering of scholars at this time, with more than 10,000 people, known as the Jinling Conference.

Since Zhang Pu, the founder of the Fushe Society, released the "Jinling Anti-Tax Public Expo", it immediately aroused the response of the anti-New Deal scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, said that he would come to the Jinling Conference in person, which further strengthened the momentum of the Jinling Conference.

Until today, there are more than 10,000 people from all over the south of the Yangtze River around Qixia Mountain, the mountain is full of dense carriages, and the Yangtze River in the north is full of axle boats, the momentum is huge, it is rare!

At the Jinling Conference, Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi stood on the 10,000-person stone and shouted, and the group responded, and the cry shook the sky.

Zhang Pu looked at the scholars of the world who were looking up to him densely below, and his heart was agitated, and he shouted: "Since I waited for His Majesty to see the imperial pole, I have bowed to the party and the murderer, personally decided against the case, and the judgment is beyond the ages!" However, the crown prince poured out the good class, this righteous man shared sorrow, and the loyal ministers shared the anger! ”

Zhang Pu first praised Emperor Chongzhen's benevolence in removing the eunuchs and restoring Donglin, and then pointed the finger at the crown prince who betrayed his father.

He continued: "Nanjing's civil and military officials are half confused by the prince, even if there are sages, they dare not speak out, and the crown prince uses his will to scatter more money, so that there are talented and ignorant people in all directions, greedy for his gifts, relying on his recommendation, and not going out to cover the widows!" ”

Xie Sanbin, a student of Qian Qianyi, shouted: "Not bad! The crown prince appointed Tài Zi Dǎng's people to squeeze all the Donglin officials such as us out of the center, and also gave bounties to do scientific research, I really don't know what to do! ”

Zhang Pu's speech immediately aroused a burst of applause from the participants, who shouted in response.

Zhang Pu's excited face flushed a little, and he continued to shout: "We are full of enthusiasm, following Donglin, uniting the righteous people, and wanting to support the crumbling world of the Ming Dynasty with one hand!" ”

The more Zhang Pu spoke, the more excited he became, and the atmosphere of the Jinling Conference became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone in the meeting felt that he was the savior of the Ming Dynasty at this time, turning the tide in the collapse of the building.

Qian Qianyi on the 10,000-person stone coughed and signaled Zhang Pu to stop, it should be his turn to speak.

Zhang Pu had already entered a certain realm, and when he heard Qian Qianyi interrupt at this time, although he was unhappy, he still stood aside reluctantly, signaling the party leader of Donglin to start his performance.

At this moment, a student from Donglin Academy hurriedly ran over and said, "Qian Weng, it's not good, there are a large number of sergeants under the mountain!" ”

Qian Qianyi waved his hand and said: "Regardless of them, our scholars' assembly is to advocate the unity of literati from the north and south of the river, care about national affairs, and represent the people's hearts and people's popularity. Let them stay at the bottom of the mountain! ”

Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others were triumphant, such a huge gathering of scholars, presumably the crown prince would be scared when he knew it! After today, you will surely succumb!

If you don't know each other and give in, each of the scholars present writes a book, and you can scold him to death, and his reputation will stink for 10,000 years!

At this time, it was Qian Qianyi who was giving a speech, and his generous speech aroused the cheers and applause of everyone in the meeting.

Qian Qianyi seized the assembly of this conference and spoke for half an hour in one breath, not giving Zhang Pu the slightest chance to speak again, he drank tea to moisten his dry throat, coughed lightly, and was about to continue his speech.

At this moment, a tsunami-like voice suddenly came from Fengxiang Peak: "Wan Sheng!" ”

The sound of the mountain forest made the entire Qixia Mountain immediately quiet, and then the mountain road seemed to tremble faintly, as if it was the sound of a large group of people and horses stepping neatly.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu looked at each other and looked at each other: "What's going on?" ”
