Chapter 333: Punishing rebellion and calming people's hearts
With the entry of the Fu Han army, the situation became clear in an instant, and the remaining black-clothed men wanted to break through and leave, but they were hit by shotguns and bows and arrows, and instantly fell to the ground with blood pouring out, letting out a painful wail.
Huang Dian and Xue Guan stepped forward with gloomy faces, and pulled open the face towel of one of the black-clothed people, only to see that the person's forehead was bare, and there was a small rat tail braid behind him, and he was suddenly not angry.
"You dare to be so presumptuous in Nanjing City!"
This matter soon went to the second assistant Cui Wancai, he looked at the dead body of the black-clothed man in a place, and then looked at the several people who were captured alive, and his face was very gloomy at the moment, although this time the Qing people were not attacked by Da Chu, but they launched such an attack on other missions in Nanjing City, which shows the viciousness of their intentions.
Xue Guan's face calmed down at this time, he bowed deeply, and said thoughtfully: "The purpose of this Qing people's attack is naturally to hinder our plans, and I hope Lord Cui will see it." ”
Huang Dian's eyes lit up on the side, and he also realized that this opportunity was rare, so he pretended to be angry and said: "The evil intentions of these Qing people are really unnoticeable, and Your Majesty should also understand that Qing people are not credible, let alone talk to them." ”
Cui Wancai sighed slightly in his heart, he really didn't expect that the Qing court mission would be so decisive, and when they hadn't revealed any news, they would decisively attack the other two missions.
"The two of you, please rest as soon as possible, the Qing court mission is indeed in Nanjing, but what is going on in this still needs to be investigated by the official, once there is a result, the official will naturally not leave it alone."
After Xue Guan and Huang Dian heard this, they glanced at each other at the moment, nodded in agreement, and then left separately.
But Cui Wancai, who got such a result, was quite puzzled in his heart, he didn't go to the Qing court mission to settle accounts as soon as possible, but went to see Ning Yu, and told Ning Yu everything that happened next.
At this time, Ning Yu put on a loose robe, holding a book in his hand and looking at it carefully, this book is called "The Legend of the Heroes of Huang Chu", which is a textbook compiled by the Ministry of Education, which contains many heroic deeds in the Fu Han army, as well as many deeds of Ning Chu officials, presented in the form of a script, so it is extremely hot in Nanjing City.
After listening to Cui Wancai's report, Ning Yu did not have the slightest strange look on his face, but said with a smile: "Those killers were originally arranged by me...... They are indeed Qing people, but they are just some prisoners......"
"Your Majesty?"
This time, it was Cui Wancai's turn to be strange, his mind quickly recalled some things that had happened in the past, but he found that he still didn't understand Ning Yu's purpose, what was the purpose of such an assassination?
Ning Yu saw the suspicion in Cui Wancai's heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, the reason for this time is just that the old fox Zhang Boxing wants to make a deal with me." ”
After Cui Wancai heard Ning Yu say this, the doubts in his heart were half solved, no wonder the Qing court could find out the news of the mission, no wonder they were able to organize the assassination of dozens of people in the impenetrable city of Nanjing...... It's not that the net shrouded in Nanjing is not dense enough, it's really because this is a drama!
"The emperor is really a master of Yidao, but the old minister still doesn't understand, this time he has wasted so much effort, what is the plotter?"
Cui Wancai didn't understand Ning Yu's thoughts, he really didn't see anything good in this, except for making the few parties who were originally enemies more life-and-death, but he couldn't see any other use.
"There are three things to do, first of all, my Da Chu can take the lead in withdrawing from the matter, take the southern provinces with peace of mind, and wait for three years of operation, and train 200,000 strong troops, then you can completely pacify the world and restore the Han family."
"Second, it's not enough for me to get out, I have to drag the other two families into the water, Liu Ruhan wants to close the middle and sit and watch the dragon and tiger fight, I naturally can't let him get his wish, I have to let him completely tear his face...... Tomorrow, I will let people hand over Yunxiang to the White Lotus Sect, let Zhang Boxing return to Beijing, and the identities of the black-clothed people will also be exposed......
As Ning Yu spoke, he lowered two of his fingers, and said in a low voice: "Third, I have secretly ordered Cheng Ming to directly raid the Ming army and directly and completely take down Zhu Yigui!" Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes are in Nanjing, it will be a great thing if the southeast can be completely pacified! ”
After saying this, Cui Wancai was convinced, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and even he understood that Da Chu was bound to negotiate peace, but this peace negotiation was by no means as simple as in front of him, to put it bluntly, what Ning Yu wanted was another kind of peace, Da Chu could stop, and you had to continue fighting, so the current situation would appear.
Therefore, the key to this lies in a person, the position must be high enough, and he has to be a figure representing the Qing court to make the determination to kill the mission, so as to completely splash this jar of sewage on the Qing court, and all the people in the Qing court, only one person can do it, that is, Zhang Boxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
But what is even more difficult to understand than this play is that Zhang Boxing is an upright official, and the world knows that during his time as an official, all expenses, including rice, wheat and vegetables, clothes and wear, and even cattle and stone mills for grinding noodles were transported from his hometown in Henan, and his ethics were even rated as the first in the world by Kangxi, and now he has also achieved the high position of the head of the household, it can be said that the Qing court is really not thin on him, how can he do such a deal with Ning Yu?
Speaking of which, although the Qing court put all its interests in the hands of its own Eight Banners, it is also necessary to take care of one or two aspects of this face, so since the beginning of the Kangxi period, the Manchu court has begun to plan to "reuse" the Han people, especially those Han famous ministers who are famous all over the world, and they are the top priority of the Qing court, like the previous Qing official Yu Chengchan, is a typical example, and even achieved the high position of the governor of Liangjiang.
As for the other scholars, ministers or chief masters of the study, there is no shortage of Han people, in order to show the Qing court's attention to the Han people, the Manchu and Han families, the master and slave are one, the problem is that although everyone knows this set in their hearts, the Han ministers are also willing to eat, and it is also a good deal to serve the Qing court.
The problem is, after all, that is in the past, and now with the rise of the Fu Han Army and the coming to power of Yongzheng, Hanchen's life is not getting better day by day, so the big guy will not die in such a daze, there are Sun Wencheng and others in the front, and it is not surprising that there is a Zhang Boxing in the back.
Of course, to be a famous minister these days, it is necessary to pay attention to decency, and you must have a righteous spirit and a clean breeze on both sleeves, but it is also indispensable to learn to calculate, otherwise if you really fall headlong to the end, the Cao family and the Shi family will become examples of traitors in the world.
"Although Zhang Boxing is a Qing official, a loyal minister, and a good minister, he is now over 70 years old, and he has a large family to support...... If you really follow the Qing court all the way to the end, when the Han army enters the capital one day, there is no way to regret it......"
Ning Yu had a sneer on his face, "Zhang Boxing wants to be a famous minister, and he also wants to be a loyal minister, so I gave him such an opportunity, not only to promise him the position of prince to his descendants, but also to let him go back to the capital when the time comes, and let him be Emperor Yongzheng's famous minister." ”
Zhang Boxing can not only keep his reputation, but also keep the future of his descendants, so he naturally will not refuse Ning Yu's kindness, and he will completely forget the scruples in his heart.
Cui Wancai's heart sank, when Zhang Boxing took up the post of secretary of the household department, Yongzheng also gave him a so-called "Lile Famous Minister" plaque to show his integrity and integrity, but this Lile Famous Minister turned his head and secretly sent Qiu Bo to Ning Chu, and secretly assisted Ning Yu to do this stealing day, but it was admirable.
"It's good that Mr. Shu Zhai returns to Beijing this time, and he can also make an internal response to my army in the future, and I think I will be able to get a lot of secrets."
Cui Wancai nodded, although he was very happy in his heart, he couldn't stop feeling disgusted.
After the assassination broke out, the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Division soon surrounded the Qing court post house in broad daylight and threw out the bodies of those men in black, whose hair braids undoubtedly told everyone the role played by the Qing court behind this assassination.
Except for Zhang Boxing, who was in the bureau, everyone in the Qing Court Post House thought that their own affairs had been defeated, and even Yunxiang's face was a gray color, although this matter was Zhang Boxing's idea, but he was the one who took the idea, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Zhang Boxing pretended to be surprised at this time, and reprimanded angrily: "These people have nothing to do with us, how many people have come from my post house, and how many people are still today, will they participate in such a sinister plot assassination?" ”
It's just that his words are naturally extremely weak, and the people present will not believe his clumsy performance, after all, the corpses of those men in black can't be hidden.
"That's it, that's it, all this thing started from this king, please tie this king to see Your Majesty."
A scene that everyone and even Ning Yu didn't expect happened, Yun Xiang actually admitted his sins in this situation, saying that it sounds good is called being above board, but saying that it is difficult to hear is simply asking for his own death. Only Zhang Boxing, who is familiar with Yunxiang's temperament, knows that Yunxiang is indeed very upright in this regard.
Many people looked at Yunxiang with a little pity in their eyes, and this person was afraid that he was not far from death.
By the time Yunxiang was escorted to Fengtian Palace, in addition to the civil and military officials of Great Chu, Xue Guan and Huang Dian had also been waiting for a long time, but Huang Dian's eyes looked at Yunxiang with a bit of murderous intent. Xue Guan was in a state of deep thought, and he still couldn't understand it, especially Ning Yu's approach.
According to Xue Guan's previous inference, the current peace talks between Ning Chu and the Qing court have reached a critical time, otherwise they would not have put aside the cooperation with the two of them, which is that there are some places where there are cats, but when the peace talks were not completed, Yun Xiang actually instructed someone to assassinate the mission, but this approach is in line with Yun Xiang's personality, so I won't say more, but Ning Yu is now dealing with it publicly, is it really necessary to completely stand out from the Qing court?
Just when Xue Guan was thinking about it, Yun Xiang told him about the assassination in 1510, especially in order to take responsibility, he also attributed the assassination to his own head, and he was actually very sure that Ning Yu would not kill him.
At this point, Yun Xiang and Xue Guan had the same idea, but they ignored one point, that is, there was a Yellow Hall beside him, and this person wanted to kill Yun Xiang quickly, the reason was very simple, if he wanted to achieve complete peace with Ning Chu, he had to create an opponent for Ning Chu that he had to fight, that is, the Qing court.
Killing Yunxiang has become a good opportunity.
"Your Majesty, Yunxiang this thief committed a crime in Nanjing City and killed 27 people of our mission, which is really rampant, and the foreign minister thinks that it is not enough to defend the dignity of Dachu if he does not kill this person."
Good guy, as soon as this sentence came out, it made Yun Xiangdu's face change, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that the development of something seemed to be beyond his expectations, and he no longer cared about the dignity of the prince at the moment, but knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing and banging.
"Xiao Wang is guilty, but the crime is not death....... I also hope that Your Majesty will be lightly dismissed. ”
Ning Yu had a little smile on his face, "It stands to reason that this matter should indeed be in my hands, but after all, the bitter master is here now, so it will be a bit overstepping for me to take care of it, so it is better to hand over this power to the two of you." ”
"This Yunxiang, do you want him to live or do you want him to die?"
Everyone's faces quickly became solemn, the development of this matter seemed to have exceeded their expectations, even Xue Guan and Huang Dian's faces changed at this time, they soon found themselves in a dilemma, it didn't matter whether they killed Yunxiang or not, but the key was that if they were really released, how should they explain after they went back?
Judging from the human nature of Liu Ruhan and Zhu Yigui, if they are relieved this time, it will be extremely unfavorable to the country...... Many people came under the banner of anti-Qing, and now if it is for the sake of a prince of the Qing court, he has completely chosen tolerance and patience, and I am afraid that everyone will not be able to tolerate these two.
"The foreign minister thinks that this incident in Nanjing should be decided by His Majesty." Xue Guan and Huang Dian stubbornly said, it is not a simple matter to make up your mind about this matter.
"Why don't we wait and continue yesterday's discussion?" Ning Yu had a slight sneer on his face, now that the carrots and sticks have been prepared, how can someone die today.......
Huang Dian gritted his teeth, and immediately said in a low voice: "The foreign minister requests to punish the rebellion to calm people's hearts!" ”
After he finished speaking, he also glanced at Xue Guan, only to see that Xue Guan also sighed, and stood up and said: "The foreign minister asks to punish the rebellion to calm people's hearts!" ”
