Chapter 69: Before the Storm (Part II)
"My lord, all suspicious people have been cleared."
"Good!" After more than a dozen Ying Longjun brought back the three heads, Zhang Kuishan looked at the heads of these two hundred households and one flag general, and smiled, making people gather all the flag heads of all hundred households again.
Peng Chengzheng wondered why Commander Zhang summoned them again so quickly.
"This is the end of disloyalty to the emperor! If anyone dares to commit another crime, this commander makes it clear here that it will never kill only one person, and the whole house will be robbed! Zhang Kuishan didn't talk nonsense, he directly threw down the three bloody heads, and said coldly.
In order to unite the hearts of Jinyiwei as soon as possible, Zhang Kuishan could only be ruthless and threaten their whole family.
Peng Cheng and all the hundred household banners turned pale with fright, and many people looked at the three round heads on the ground, and their teeth trembled, and they didn't dare to think about it any more.
"Okay, the commander makes the lord kill well, and the person who dares to be disloyal to the emperor, even if the commander makes the lord not kill, the deputy commander will not let him go." Peng Cheng walked out in support with an angry face.
Although Peng Cheng was demoted here by Emperor Chongzhen, his mind as an emperor's eagle dog has not changed at all, and he has always regarded it as his duty.
Zhang Kuishan nodded secretly, and could see that this Peng Cheng was not bought, but whether he could be entrusted with an important task remains to be tested in the future.
After clearing the hidden dangers in the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Kuishan began to lay out according to the plan ordered by Zhu Cihong.
Time passed little by little, in the face of more than 200 Donglin Party officials outside the palace gate, Zhu Cihong was unmoved, and after eating dinner with Yiyi, he began to sleep, he wanted to see if Gao Hongtu and others could survive the morning.
"Lord Shousuke, the emperor seems to be unmoved, how good is this." Jiang Yueguang sighed next to Gao Hongtu.
Although there is a cotton cloth on the knee, but after kneeling down for a few hours, even young people can't hold it, not to mention that Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang are both fifty years old, and their legs are already numb at this moment, and their mouths are full of bitterness, I can't imagine that the emperor can withstand the persecution of more than 200 officials led by him and the pressure of public opinion
Not only Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang, but also many elderly Donglin Party officials couldn't hold on, and some people who couldn't pad cotton cloth on their knees had white lips and trembled, and one of them was Qian Qianyi.
Although Qian Qianyi is also one of the three bigwigs of the Donglin Party like Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang, Qian Qianyi likes calligraphy and Confucianism, and rarely takes care of things, and does not have many opinions compared with Gao Hongtu Jiang Yueguang.
Another hour later, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang were still pale, and they had been hungry for most of the day, and they couldn't hold it anymore, but for the sake of face, they had to barely support it.
"Master Jiang, it's not a way to go on like this." Gao Hongtu said.
"Yes, Lord Shoufu, your body is not as tough as a young man, and you will have to manage the affairs of the cabinet and the Donglin Party in the future, you can't suffer like this, or Lord Shoufu will go back to rest first, and there will be an old man here to stay here." Jiang Yueguang said.
Gao Hongtu's face darkened, if he really dared to do what Jiang Yueguang said, what would he have in the future and what prestige would he have in the Donglin Party and the court, could Jiang Yueguang want to take his place? Thinking of this, Gao Hongtu glanced at Jiang Yueguang with an unkind face.
"Why don't you go back first? This Shousuke is here to guard. Gao Hongtu said in an unkind tone.
Jiang Yueguang smiled awkwardly, although he didn't want to suffer here, but for the sake of his reputation, he didn't dare to take the lead and leave.
Jiang Yueguang sighed secretly, and regretted a little in his heart, why did he agree to wade into this troubled water as long as Xu Hongji had 200,000 taels of silver, so that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, and he would have to suffer here.
"Lord Qian, Lord Qian-----" At this time, Qian Qianyi suddenly couldn't support it and fainted.
Several Donglin Party officials hurriedly stepped forward to support Qian Qianyi.
"Lord Shoufu, Lord Qian fainted, for the comfort of Lord Qian, I will send Lord Qian back for treatment first." More than a dozen Donglin Party officials carried Qian Qianyi, who had fainted to the ground, and walked away.
The corners of Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang's mouths twitched, they really wanted to scold, they knew that Qian Qianyi should not be pretending, but what made them angry was that sending a Qian Qianyi back required more than a dozen people to follow, and a few of them didn't even touch the corners of Qian Qianyi's clothes, and they were embarrassed to leave, obviously they didn't want to suffer here, these scum were vain Donglin Qingliu, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang scolded at the same time in their hearts.
Although he scolded a lot in his heart, Jiang Yueguang looked at Qian Qianyi, who was carried away by the saddle and horse after being unconscious, and thoughtfully.
Another hour later, it has entered the sea time at this moment, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and others have not entered a drop of rice water for six hours, and during this period, there are several older Donglin party people who will not pad cotton cloth on their knees fainted to the ground, and a large group of people saddled up and carried these fainted people away.
Jiang Yueguang was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back at the moment, he only felt weak, he looked at the palace gate helplessly, knowing that it was impossible for the emperor to compromise today, and it would be redundant to suffer here again, but even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't lose face.
Jiang Yueguang's mind turned, and suddenly his old eyes rolled and he fainted to the ground.
"Master Jiang! Master Jiang fainted----- "This time, nearly thirty Donglin Party officials rushed forward to support Jiang Yueguang.
"Lord Shoufu, Lord Jiang has fainted, for the sake of Lord Jiang's safety, I will send Lord Jiang back first." Nearly thirty Donglin parties carried Jiang Yueguang away, of which only a dozen were able to catch a corner of Jiang Yueguang's clothes, and the remaining dozen or so were cheeky to open the way in front of them, and the remaining few were cheeky and followed behind the hall.
Gao Hongtu gritted his teeth and wanted to vomit blood, but this scene was watched by some people who were still watching the excitement here, and they didn't know what it would be like tomorrow, there was no doubt that they had completely failed to force the palace this time, because of these scum, the Donglin Party became a joke.
Gao Hongtu glanced at the dozens of Donglin Party officials who were still behind him, gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, and pretended to faint to the ground.
"Shousuke-sama, Shousuke-sama!"
Most of the remaining dozens of Donglin parties rushed forward.
"Shousuke-sama has fainted, for the comfort of Shousuke-sama, we should send Shousuke-sama back for treatment, and come here to bow down." Some people said, it was righteous and awe-inspiring, but I don't know if they will come back after they go back and continue to bow down.
After dozens of Donglin parties carried Gao Hongtu away, there were less than ten Donglin parties left here.
"My Donglin Party can no longer come out of people like the five elders of Wanli Qingliu." These less than ten Donglin Party members looked at Gao Hongtu who was carried away, sighed in disappointment, got up and patted the dust on their clothes, turned around and left, from now on they will not be in the Donglin Party.
In the late Wanli period, there was a dispute over the country, when the Wanli Emperor wanted to abolish the original prince because of his extreme favor to Zheng Guifei, and renamed the Fu Wang born to Zheng Guifei as the prince, but the Donglin Party and the Wanli Emperor at that time argued for fifteen years, several times forced the palace, and the five Donglin Party bigwigs knelt and died at the palace gate, forcing the Wanli Emperor to compromise and give up the idea of changing the prince, which was cited as a good story by the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party at that time was a real clear stream, but after these decades, today's Donglin Party has already deteriorated, It has lived up to the true character of serving the country and the people wholeheartedly.
