Of course, this is also thanks to the huddle of the Da Ming literati.

is like His Royal Highness Zhu Yujiao, a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, how do you know who Gong Dingyu is and what disgusting things she has done?

The literati have been in a group since ancient times.

As long as they don't help and abuse and go too far, even if they surrender, basically not many people will be blamed.

Because, after they surrendered, they also had to fulfill an obligation, that is, to defend those who refused to surrender, in exchange for the non-accountability of the literati community.

In other words, those who surrender need to seek benefits for those who have not surrendered, first save their lives and then recommend and then dredge.

There are many examples, such as Hong Chengchou's surrender, south of the Yangtze River, the literati scolded him endlessly, but north of the Yangtze River, he is the leader of the Jiangbei literati, because he is protecting the Jiangbei literati from the war.

This has nothing to do with character.

The same is true for Gong Dingyu, after the Qing Dynasty, he was an official in Beijing, but he was impeached last year, demoted, and demoted to Yingtianfu to do a central government.

Zhizhong, the fifth official, began in the Western Han Dynasty, also called Shizhong, one of the senior adjutant officials of the state assassin history, the main Cao Wen, second only to the other driver.

The Ming Dynasty also had an extension, but it only diluted its functions, and the ordinary state capital has been abolished, and only this official position was set up in Shuntian and Yingtianfu, but the power has been reduced to the extreme, and it is basically an idle errand.

Because there are Fu Cheng, general judges, and officials under the government Yin, almost all government affairs are included, and even there are Confucian professors in the school, and the governance is just a mud bodhisattva, just put on a show.

When Wu Zhengguang restored Ying Tianfu, Yin Yingtianfu, who was appointed by the original Qing court, and some officials fled with Hong Chengchou.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

The Qingtai Dynasty did not have the imperial examination, so it could not select the official reserve, and could only remain as the original official.

In addition, Gong Dingxiao was outstanding in literature, and was known as the "Three Masters of Jiangzuo" with Wu Weiye and Qian Qianyi at that time.

Promotion and appointment, this is not surprising.

Of course, Wu Zheng didn't know all this, and when the manpower was finally exhausted, Wu Zheng was just an ordinary person.

This is also the reason why Wang Zhiren, a person who came over, reminded Wu Zheng to be careful of Chen Zilong and Ying Tianfu's group of literati before, these social elites almost control everything outside of Zhengyangmen, and it is not too much to say that they are uncrowned kings.

"Brother Shou, what's going on?" Gong Dingyu asked anxiously.

Qian Qianyi smiled and said with a hint of pride: "It's all expected. ”

Gong Dingyu was overjoyed and said, "As long as Chen Zilong agrees, then we will be able to grasp his handle, and we will take what we want in the future, and I am afraid that there will be no more constraints." Congratulations to the brother who received it, several years of grievances, and once it snowed. ”

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Without further ado, please also ask Brother Xiaosheng to send someone quickly and follow Qian to arrest Song Zhengyu." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Recipient, I have already gathered thirty messengers, and I am waiting for Brother Recipient to come."

……。

Chunhe Palace, now Zhu Yujiao's dormitory, to be precise, is also a place to summon foreign ministers.

There is no way, after all, she is a woman, and she is only in charge of the country, and many things can only be done in power.

Although she is a prisoner, since Chun'an was forced into the palace, Zhu Yujiao's heart has changed a lot, which has a lot to do with her position.

Internally, he cannot control the situation, and externally, he cannot lead the army to defend against the enemy.

only hated giving birth to a woman's body, and Zhu Yujiao was under tremendous pressure in her heart.

And since the cabinet took over, Zhu Yujiao is even more worried about the survival of the Ming family.

For a young girl, Zhu Yujiao really felt very tired and tired.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin are accompanied day and night, so that at least there is someone to talk to.

Especially Wu Xiaomei, for Zhu Yujiao, Wu Xiaomei and her background are almost the same, and they are both fallen people at the end of the world.

Between the two, it has almost reached the point where there is nothing to say.

But in the matter of forcing Wu to establish himself as the queen and selecting the prince among the heirs he produced, Wu Xiaomei reserved her opinion.

Wu Xiaomei originally disagreed with this, because she knew that Wu Zheng was not a stubborn temper who was willing to be manipulated by others.

It may be better to lead and not go, to fight backwards, but to smooth the hair.

But Zhu Yujiao disagreed, she thought that the villain must be the first gentleman.

Until Wu Zheng categorically refused, there was a subtle sense of alienation between the three women.

At this time, Wu Xiaomei, who heard that Wu Zheng had left Yingtianfu, came together with Zhou Simin.

"Please allow Your Highness, I will go to Hangzhou."

Zhu Yujiao asked in surprise: "Little sister, why is this?" At this time, the Qing army came to attack in a big way, and Zhenguo went to Dantu to command our army to resist, and at this time went to Hangzhou Mansion, wouldn't it be risky? ”

Wu Xiaomei said calmly: "My brother is here to say that my father has arrived in Hangzhou, and as a daughter, I should serve my father as soon as possible, and I ask His Royal Highness for permission." ”

Zhu Yujiao was stunned for a long time, turned to Zhou Simin, and asked coldly, "It seems that you are also leaving?" ”

Zhou Simin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhu Yujiao, and replied: "Simin is already a wife, the family is in Pinggang Mountain, and it is no filial piety for Simin to leave. ”

Zhu Yujiao has a strong sense of loss and resentment in her heart, since Shuntianfu, it has been three years, and she has seen that there is hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, but she can look at it and see that she is still alone.

Those around me who think they can rely on will leave when they say they will go, and they will be alienated if they want to be alienated.

This made the bridge of Zhu Yujiao's nose sour, and two lines of tears couldn't stop pouring out.

At this time, Uncle Zheng came in and reported: "Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Huangyan, and Ma Shiying, please see you." ”

Zhu Yujiao took a deep breath, took a brocade and pressed the wet area under her eyes, and returned to calm.

"Little sister and Simin will go to the back for a while." Turning his head to Uncle Zheng, he said, "Chuan Taifu, Ma Xiang, and Zhang Xiangjin will see you." ”

"Ministers, see His Highness the Overseer."

"Taifu and the two prime ministers have something important to do when they see this palace?"

Zhang Guowei glanced at Ma Shiying and motioned to talk to Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying pondered and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the minister is waiting for him to come here to be the first spy in the court." ”

Zhu Yujiao was taken aback and asked, "Above my court, there are spies?" The horse came quickly, who actually forgot the ancestors and was willing to work carefully for the Tartars? ”

Ma Shiying glanced at Zhang Huangyan and said: "Back to Your Highness, this person is Song Zhengyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. ”

When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she opened her mouth in shock, she was just surprised before, but now, she was really shocked.

The second-class master, the pillar of the country, a good person doesn't do it, but he wants to sell himself to the Qing court?

This is undoubtedly a blow to Zhu Yujiao.

After all, it happened when he was in charge of the country, to paraphrase the words of later generations, this kind of scandal, Zhu Yujiao is bound to bear the leadership responsibility.

It is common for the Ming Emperor to issue edicts, not to mention that she is a prisoner.

Zhu Yujiao asked in a hurried tone, "Is there conclusive evidence for Ma Xiang's accusation?" ”
