Whether it is her own son, and at this critical time, Queen Zhou finally gave Zhu Cihong a deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and asked Zhu Cihong to watch this matter personally.

However, after Zhu Cihong left, Queen Zhou suffered some gains and losses.

This opening, obviously, is not too right, and it is not a good sign.

Even if it is a son, many of these things are difficult to express.

Although there has never been such a thing as 'killing the mother' in the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is not difficult to really do something.

Especially after the situation stabilized, Zhu Cihong wanted to find a support, but it was still very easy to find, and the cabinet was his natural ally.

"Whew."

After thinking about it for a while, Empress Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but still decided to believe in her son, after all, all this she did was also for him and for his throne.

I was about to go to see Xiao Nannan, when a purple-robed eunuch rushed over and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, the emergency military situation in Haicheng was personally sent by General Wang Xiwang, the personal commander of the Marquis of Haicheng......

"Huh?"

Queen Zhou was clever: "Quick, quickly invite people in!" ”

"Yes."

After a while, the dusty Wang Xi walked into the door quickly and saluted respectfully: "Humble Wang Xi, I have seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is phoenix and Jin'an." ”

Wang Xilai's road was obviously not smooth, there were still many blood stains on his body that had obviously just dried up, and there were several bandaged wounds, even if they were hidden under his clothes, he could still see the clues.

"General Wang, how is the situation in Haicheng now?"

Queen Zhou hurriedly asked the little eunuch next to her to help Wang Xi up, gave him a seat, and asked anxiously.

Wang Xi immediately recounted the situation in Haicheng, took out Xu Changqing's handwritten letter, and raised his hands respectfully above his head: "Queen Mother, this is Hou Ye's handwritten letter." ”

The palace maid hurriedly took the letter, carefully examined it, and respectfully handed it to Queen Zhou.

Empress Zhou opened it to take a closer look, and after a while, the willow eyebrows were tightly frowned.

She had expected that the situation was critical, but she didn't expect that the situation would be so critical, that is, Xu Changqing was cautious and told her several times one after another.

In the letter, Xu Changqing not only instructed her to pay attention to the defense of Nanjing, especially the defense along the river, but also specifically instructed her to pay attention to the state of Nanjing's nobles and the meticulous work of the Qing army in the city, including the military forces that may be bought by the Qing army.

And among them, especially under the Nanjing nobles, Xu Changqing circled the red line, which is obviously the top priority!

This is not Xu Changqing's personal vendetta, deliberately scolding Nanjing Xungui to get by, but facing the pig teammates must deal with it!

Even, these pig teammates will only be worse and worse than Xu Changqing thinks.

For Nanjing Xungui, the situation at this time may just be Xu Changqing's bureau, that is, to engage them, coupled with the thick walls of Nanjing City, most of the defenders are their people, even if the Tartars come? Did you fly into the city?

It must be known that there are countless people in this world who do not see the Yellow River and do not give up, and do not cry when they do not see the coffin.

These people in the south have little experience in dealing with Tartars, and they are pampered all year round, and I am afraid that they all fantasize that they are ancestors in the world.

She seems to have a lot of trust in Xu Changqing and Queen Zhou.

Her political wisdom and vision are already different from those when she was in Beijing before, and she understands very well that without Xu Changqing, it would be impossible to have the situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Even though Xu Changqing is a tiger, he is a tiger on their side, while Nanjing Xungui is a hungry wolf who can kill their mother and son.

After all, Zhu Cihong's throne is not really stable, and it is not impossible to 'change the sky'.

chatted with Wang Xi about some details, and basically made things transparent, so Queen Zhou asked people to arrange for Wang Xi to go down to rest first, and directly asked Zheng Yingchun to quickly implement Xu Changqing's arrangement.

……

With Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong personally in charge, the two forces of Jinyiwei worked together, and soon set off a trend in Nanjing City, gradually stifling public opinion in the city a lot.

Although since the middle and late stages of Chongzhen, because the imperial court has no money, Emperor Chongzhen does not attach too much importance to Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei was once weak and transparent, but the coercion of three hundred years is like the sword of Damoris hanging over the heads of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, but no one dares to get along with the uncles of Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei's edict is synonymous with hell.

As the investigation deepened, the spearhead was soon pointed at Hou Fangyu!

The main reason is that this Hou Gongzi is too jumpy, and many people have confirmed that the sentence 'Xu Changqing is desperate and martial' is the first time he said it in the feudal mansion since his mouth.

In the evening, when the news was sent back to the imperial city, Empress Zhou quickly reached an agreement with Zhu Cihong to order Jinyi Wei to take people!

Soon, the secluded Hou Mansion was surrounded by a group of wolf-like brocade guards, and hundreds of people broke into it directly.

But at this time, Hou Fangyu had already passed through the 'special channel', knew the signs, and even the specific actions of Jinyiwei, and said to Hou Xun with righteousness and awe: "Father, don't worry, I am not afraid of shadows, I will go to Jinyiwei's edict prison now!" ”

Hou Xun couldn't cry at this time: "Lords, lords, you can't punish the sergeant." For the sake of this thin face of the old minister, please be merciful and merciful......"

"Take it away!"

Although Nanjing's group of brocade guards is just established, they are based on the old brocade guards here, and they may not be able to do business, but they are full of majesty.

ignored Hou Xun's pleas at all, and took Hou Fangyu away directly.

Hou Fangyu was still very nervous, his legs were a little trembling, even though Jin Yiwei's edict at this time was far from that of Jingshi, but it was a murderer, he was really afraid that Jin Yiwei would torture him.

Once the punishment is used, God knows, how can he bear this little body?

"Hou Gongzi, please come here!"

Just when Hou Fangyu was nervous and as if he was on the bridge, he suddenly met a familiar face, which was the 'ordinary person' who gave him the silver ticket at noon today!

This ordinary person turned out to be a thousand presidents, and obviously a real thousand presidents!

This made Hou Fangyu have a backbone all of a sudden, and hurriedly supported the righteousness and awe-inspiring, and even sang a magnificent song.

……

Not long after Hou Fangyu was arrested, the news was transmitted back to the Duke of Wei.

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji has not been in good spirits these days, he hasn't slept much, he relies on a puff of smoke and a woman hanging, his already dry body is even more dry and thin, and he can really play a mummy without makeup, almost like a wooden.

It was Shan Fat who came to report the news.

He carefully reported the matter to Xu Hongji in detail, and said with some horror: "Grandpa, I heard that it was the Queen Mother who received Xu Changqing's handwritten letter, which made Jinyiwei move." If Hou Fangyu can't hold it here, give us a ......"

"Rubbish!"

"Do you have any evidence left for Hou Fangyu?"

Xu Hongji is the big guy, even if his body is not very good, he is still full of momentum, and the eyes of a pair of fish bubble old people are full of fierce and hideous questions.

"There is no direct evidence for this. The little one just exchanged a few words with Hou Fangyu verbally. But grandpa, Xu Changqing has always been wary of us, I'm afraid that even if there is no evidence, we will also fall into the crotch of our pants with yellow mud, not but......"

The fat man said with difficulty.

He is Xu Hongji's confidant, he knows too many things, too much dirty work, and bloody work, which is basically handled by him himself, although he is afraid of Xu Hongji, he dares to speak.

"Panic!"

"Is the sky falling? The sky is falling, and I will stand on it! ”

Xu Hongji sneered nonchalantly, "You keep an eye on this matter first, don't be rash, take it as the limit of tomorrow morning, if Hou Fangyu is released before tomorrow morning, this is how it is, if you don't get released, let those scholars make trouble!" ”

"This ......"

The fat man was stunned for a moment: "Master Hou, this, after all, this is a night, this night is ......"

"Less nonsense! That's it! ”

"Yes......"

…… The newly established Jinyi Guard Prison is near Fugui Mountain in the northern part of the Imperial City.

Escorted all the way to this side by carriage, Hou Fangyu had already straightened out his thoughts, but when he really entered the deep and cold dungeon, Hou Fangyu was still trembling.

Even though Jinyiwei hadn't played much at this time, there were still a lot of people locked up in the dungeon, and as soon as he saw someone coming in, there was a miserable cry for help.

This made Hou Fangyu's feeling even worse, damn it, what kind of place is this place for people to stay......

Fortunately, Mr. Qian, surnamed Du, accompanied him all the way, giving Hou Fangyu a lot of confidence.

All the way to the inner prison, seeing that he was about to go to the torture rack, Rao had the protection of Du Qianzong, Hou Fangyu's legs were still weak, he was almost about to pee, and his intestines were about to regret it.

Only then did he understand, heroes, how can they be so good?

Even if there is the protection of this surnamed Du, I'm afraid that if I don't die tonight, I will have to shed my skin.

The plain Du Qian always looked at Hou Fangyu's appearance, and couldn't help but scold in his heart.

I thought Hou Fangyu was a real man, who would have thought that this fucking was a waste, and the girls were not as good!

But at this time, the master had already chosen him, and he had no way to change it, so he could only take a gap and said to him in a low voice: "Don't panic, I will try my best not to let them punish you, and you also have to show your might, don't weaken your aura." ”

Hou Fangyu nodded subconsciously, but how could he have any aura at this time?

"Bang dang!"

As he was fixed on the torture rack like a livestock, his whole body was deprived of his strength, as if he was about to be torn apart by a car, Hou Fangyu really couldn't help but pee, and desperately gritted his teeth to keep his face.

At this time, the commotion outside quickly spread all the way, and several bigwigs of Jinyiwei arrived.

The leader is Luo Xiushen, the brother of Luo Yangxing, the former boss of Jinyiwei.

Luo Xiushen originally followed Luo Yangxing in the capital, but after arriving in Nanjing, Xu Changqing got him here through special channels and let him retake charge of Jinyiwei in Nanjing.

There seems to be a lot of complications in this.

Starting with Luo Sigong, the elder son of the Luo brothers, their father and son have been in charge of Jinyiwei for almost 50 years, and this influence is amazing.

After all, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be rebuilt in Nanjing, and no one is more suitable than Luo Xiu.

It is not only convenient for Xu Changqing to control, but also a bargaining chip and sustenance for Luo's cultivation in Cao Ying.

"See the Commander!"

As Luo Xiu came over, everyone knelt on the ground and saluted.

Luo Xiushen didn't have time to care about the pomp and circumstance at this time, waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, and locked on Hou Fangyu: "This is Hou Gongzi, right?" ”

At this time, it is equally important to Luo Xiushen, to a large extent, this is also the first major case of Jinyiwei's reorganization, so he can't be careless, not to mention that Hou Fangyu's identity is extraordinary, a little careless, it is very likely that there will be a big change, which Luo Xiushen can't tolerate.

Seeing that it was Luo Xiushen, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease, because when he was in Beijing before, he knew Luo Xiushen, and his friendship was not too bad.

Although Luo Xiushen was clear at this time, his eyes did not have too much evil, as if he didn't seem to think that he was the culprit.

Hou Fangyu hurriedly said: "It's exactly below." Dare to ask the commander, I don't know why, brought the students here? ”

Luo Xiushen frowned slightly, but he was quickly relieved, "Hou Gongzi, you are a scholar, so you should also be an understanding person." What kind of place is my Jinyiwei, I don't say that you should understand! If you confess honestly, you can still avoid the pain of flesh and skin, otherwise, don't blame this seat for being ruthless! ”

"Haha, haha......"

Hou Fangyu regained his aura and laughed insolently: "Commander, don't you understand what you mean?" Is it because a student has publicly told the truth that you are going to be abused like this? Could it be that the students are half-false? If there is a half-lie, even if my Hou Fangyu dies here tonight, I will not have the slightest complaint! But if I am telling the truth, then what is the reason? Where's the justice?! You can't just make a scapegoat for a poor scholar because you can't find the real mastermind, right?! ”
