Chapter 388: Qing Jun's side, punish the traitor!
Could it be that Wu Zheng is confident in his own strength, and he is not worried that they will fight back in tandem?
Qian Sudian thought for a while and said, "It's getting late, the city gates are closed, even if you and I want to transfer troops, it's impossible." I think there is some truth in what Qiao Gong said, this kind of atrocity is not like Wu Zheng's heart...... Since things can't be done, instead of acting blindly, it is better to wait and see what happens, and when the situation is clear, it is not too late for you and me to make a decision. ”
Xia Wanchun said a little unwillingly: "But it's too late." ”
Qian Qiaogong said: "But right now, what else can you and I do?" You have also heard and seen, who will obey your and my orders at this time? ”
Xia Wanchun turned his head to look ahead, and the hustle and bustle of the crowd had reached the extreme.
Countless voices were shouting: "Qingjun's side, punish the traitor!" ”
Wu Zheng was still inciting loudly, "...... Support the Ming monarch, reorganize the cabinet, clean up and rectify, reorganize the army, resist foreign humiliation, expel the Tartars, and restore our rivers and mountains...... Lingtai has no plan to escape from the gods, the wind and rain are like a dark homeland, and the cold stars are not noticed, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood. ”
Everyone went crazy.
"He's a madman!" Qian Sudian shook his head helplessly and said, "Ying Tianfu is going to bleed." ”
Xia Wanchun opened his mouth wide and said, "God knows, is he loyal or traitorous, a hero or a demon?" ”
Qian Qiaogong was even more shocked and asked himself, "Could it be ...... Does he really want to be a butcher? ”
……。
With the mobilization of the army in the city, countless literati and celebrities who participated in the gathering and incitement in front of the two gates of Hongwu and Zhengyang today were arrested.
The entire Ying Tianfu was in chaos, and the people closed their doors and windows one after another, hiding behind the door and everyone was in danger.
It is said that history is often written or changed because of an insignificant person, but today's protagonists are not Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren, nor are they Qian Sule and Chen Zilong, who have been "imprisoned".
is not the indignant but helpless Xia Wanchun, the Qian family's uncle and nephew.
is a "traitor" who is spurned by the world - Ma Shiying.
Ma Shiying is the Wanli Jinshi, the prefect of the Apocalypse, the imperial history of Chongzhen, the governor, and the first assistant of Hongguang.
It stands to reason that it is the duty of a minister to see Princess Changping.
At this time, Zhu Yujiao temporarily stayed in the Honglu Temple in the north of the bridge.
Originally, she could have settled in Miyagi.
But after Wu Zheng thought about it carefully, he felt that before compromising with Qian and Chen, Zhu Yujiao would still stay outside the palace first, which would not stimulate Qian and Chen.
And the city has a large number of troops stationed in the city such as the Elephant Soldiers and Horses, and the front guard of the government.
In order to be on the safe side, stay away from these "sources of chaos", Zhu Yujiao and her party were temporarily placed in the Honglu Temple closest to the palace.
The chaos in the city, Zhu Yujiao has already heard of it.
If she hadn't been in charge of the country, Zhu Yujiao would definitely only have fear and worry in her heart, but after more than a year, she now sees the essence of things more than fear and worry in her heart.
This is a division and struggle for power.
Whether it is Qian Sule, Chen Zilong and others who claim to be righteous, or Wu Zheng, who orders the army and the people to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the goal they want to achieve is the same, that is, to dominate the court and grasp the greatest right to speak.
If Zhu Yujiao hadn't experienced the forced palace of Chun'an, she would most likely be on the side of Qian and Chen, not to fight with Wu Zheng, but she has always regarded herself as the blood of the Zhu family and took the revival of the temple as her own responsibility.
If Wu Zheng is allowed to sweep the court with the army, then it is unstoppable that Wu Zheng will become the first person in the court.
The Zhu Clan's temple will henceforth become a banner in Wu Zheng's hand that commands the world, which can be discarded at any time.
Therefore, Zhu Yujiao must stand on the side of Qian and Chen to balance the power that Wu Zheng is about to hold.
However, Zhu Yujiao experienced the forced palace in Chun'an Town, and this time the forced security made her disheartened.
This time forced her to understand that righteousness and loyalty are just a fig leaf for the struggle for power and profit, and the dirty struggle.
Da Ming died, from the moment his father committed suicide.
This understanding made Zhu Yujiao no longer entangled in the revival of the Zhu family temple, but looked at what was happening in front of her from the standpoint of a deceased person.
Since it is a struggle for power and interests, there is no need to distinguish who is more righteous and who is more evil.
As long as it is beneficial to the world, the Han people, and the expulsion of the Tartars, she will be on whose side.
Obviously, Wu Zheng is the side she should stand on, at least he has really recovered Jiufu, and the Ming army under Wu Zheng has strict military discipline and brave combat, and there is already a revival atmosphere.
Zhu Yujiao made a decision, but she was not able to provide Wu Zheng with any help.
She has no soldiers now, just a princess with an empty title.
But all this changed after Ma Shiying arrived.
History, starting from this night, really changed.
……。
The sky is bright.
Ying Tianfu has been cleaned.
At least 1,000 people have been arrested and tens of thousands have been implicated and detained.
It's a purge.
Wu Zheng appeared in front of Qian Sule and Chen Zilong again.
At this time, there is no need to prepare dishes, and there is no need for Wang Zhiren to accompany him.
"Two choices, subordination or rebellion."
Wu Zheng's language did not have the usual honorifics, nor the arrogance of the victors, but calmly asked, as if asking whether to eat or not.
This cup is not a toast, nor can it be called a penalty wine, but it is definitely a bitter wine.
Yes to Qian and Chen, and yes to Wu Zheng himself.
Just as Wu Zheng asked Wang Zhiren to bring before, cooperation is two benefits, and division is two harms, and there is no winner in this duel.
But the lesser of two evils, instead of constantly sinking energy into internal friction, it is better to cut through the chaos quickly and finish the battle in one battle.
Wu Zheng made a choice, and now Lunqian Sule and Chen Zilong have made a choice.
Looking at the thick stack of lists brought by Wu Zheng.
Qian Sule and Chen Zilong cried.
Not tears of submission, but regret for their colleagues and friends who have been affected by them.
Wu Zheng did not persuade, because persuasion was already pale at this moment.
There is no right or wrong, only success or failure.
"There is no grudge between me and the two, but there is a common enemy between me and the two, that is, the northern Jianju. Originally, I thought we could find common ground while reserving differences, but obviously, this is no longer possible. In that case, speak from strength. If you are defeated, you will confess. Wu Zheng's cold voice sounded, "For the sake of Qian Sudian's uncle and nephew and Xia Wanchun, I will not kill you, you will be removed from your official position and escorted back to your hometown...... Good students teach and educate people, and it can be regarded as leaving the seeds of reading for the Han people in the world. ”
Qian Sule opened his old eyes and asked, "What will you do with these people?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "Those who follow stay, those who do not follow are exiled, those who resist, kill!" ”
Chen Zilong had green tendons on his neck, and he pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded: "Dog thief! Butcher! Treacherous! Demons! ……。 ”
