What should the end of the dynasty look like? It should be a mess, it should be panic, it should be ...... No, it should be said that it was ecstatic!

For those Han people in the outer city of Beijing, although they suffered more than ten years of Manchu enslavement, they did not forget their roots, their own blood, the people in this city, every day as if looking forward to the stars and the moon, but also asked each other about the news of the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty is too good!

The king is coming!

But this news has been out for more than a month, why haven't you lost Wang Shi yet?

"The remnants are in tears, and the king is looking south for another year......"

When the shopkeeper of the restaurant listened to the words of the guests who were eating, his expression was full of relief.

"I have been benevolent for three hundred years, and all the people in the world have been nurtured by my Ming, and the heart of Siming should be like ......this," the shopkeeper who wiped the counter with a rag thought to himself, and when he looked at those guests, his eyes couldn't help but look outside.

When is the king coming?

It's just that for the dozens of people in this Beijing division, as long as it is the army of the Ming Dynasty, it is the king division, but for him, the king division has other meanings.

"I'm afraid the sky is going to change......" Looking out the door, the shopkeeper instructed the man.

"Daquan, you greet first, I'll rest in the back for a while!" From the front hall to the backyard, back to the room, the shopkeeper took out a box from under the bed, opened the box, only to see that there was a wooden box in the box, after opening the wooden box, in addition to the two spontaneous short guns, there was also a bronze medal, both hands picked up the bronze medal, the shopkeeper's face of those years of business smile gone, but emerged another look.

The words on the bronze plaque of "Daming Loyal and Righteous Army Army" indicate his identity and are also proof of his identity.

It's been two years!

It's been two whole years!

Sighing like this, the shopkeeper looked at the restaurant that he had already treated as his home, and after Wang Shike returned to Beijing, he would return to his original identity - the Loyal and Righteous Army is the commander of the army, in the past two years, he has been ordered to lurk in Beijing, but he is not responsible for building an intelligence network, his task is to lurk with this, waiting for the order to be issued, but in the past two years, he has never received any orders, logically speaking, long-term lurking will make people paralyzed, but for him, it doesn't seem to have any effect, Most of the time, he was no different from the ordinary restaurant shopkeeper, but he did not forget the mission he came here, and although he did not receive an order, it did not prevent him from collecting a piece of information for two years.

"When Wang Shi recovers the capital, when the time comes, ......" weighed the roster in his hand, he said to himself, this roster is different from other rosters, this is not a list of personnel composed of intelligence networks, but a list of traitors, which is a collection of information obtained by him through various channels, the traitors in the roster, not only officials, but also businessmen, and even ordinary people, for the officials, they help and abuse, and the merchants are in collusion with the Manchu Qing, as for the ordinary people, it is when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Maybe take the initiative to shave their heads or betray their loyalty, in short, there are all kinds of traitors, but one thing is common, they have all betrayed their own people.

And when he was talking to himself, his eyes looked at the books in the box—there were tens of thousands of people in the nearly 100 books in the box, and the names of the people on the list were not limited to the capital.

"In any case, these people cannot be allowed to go unpunished......"

Thinking like this in his heart, the shopkeeper's half-closed eyes, unlike others, in the past two years, he has come into contact with too many traitors, seen their faces, and knows that for those traitors, they have no etiquette and shame, if they let them go, how can they be worthy of the loyal and righteous people in the world.

"When you see Jun Zhengcheng in the future, you must ask him to investigate to the end......"

Again, after locking the wooden box and stuffing it under the bed, the shopkeeper went out, and the solemnity on his face turned into a humble and flattering smile again, but when he came out, he looked up at the sky again, and muttered to himself.

"The sun is about to set......"

"Doomsday!"

In the mansion, looking at the red sunset, Jin Zhijun was not like in the past, enjoying the beautiful scenery of dusk, he just let out such a long sigh.

"Teacher, this is the end of the world, not a new life!"

Cheng Siyuan looked at the teacher with his back to him, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile.

"Isn't this the day the teacher is looking forward to?"

The question of the protégé made Jin Zhijun's whole person fall into silence, he was a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and it can be said that he was favored by the emperor of the four emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's grace was not important. But after the thief entered Shenjing, he first surrendered to the thief, and after the thief retreated, he surrendered again, and still served as the original official. After the Qing Dynasty, whether it was Dolgon or Shunzhi, he also trusted him, and even reached the point of being hot.

It's just that when it was hot, Jin Zhijun made another choice for the Jin family early on-secretly contacted Jiangbei, in exchange for the Jin family not being exiled - although the Jin family was nominally exiled to Taiwan, but in fact, in Zhoushan, many official families who had the same thing as him but had already developed into an eyeliner for Jiangbei were all exiled to Taiwan in name, but in fact they avoided Zhoushan.

It stands to reason that for Jin Zhijun, now that Da Ming is about to restore the rivers and mountains, he no longer has to worry about it as in the past, but for some reason, his mood is not the slightest lighter, but it is even heavier.

"From the Ming to the thief and from the Qing ......"

After such a long sigh, Jin Zhijun looked at the sunset and sighed.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk, Jin has worked hard all his life, and when it comes, it is still a big festival, so what will he face in the future!"

After such a long sigh, Jin Zhijun said in a deep voice.

"In the past, I was just thinking about this change of dynasty, although I received the emperor's grace, but, but ...... The five elements have their own fixed number, so it is also desirable to descend to the ......."

Shaking his head and sighing bitterly, Jin Zhijun naturally will no longer say anything about the painstaking mention of "ten disobedience" as in the past, even if it is an excuse, it is not an excuse for him to be a traitor.

"Yongda, you say that you are a teacher, what kind of face do you have to face the elders of Jiangnan?"

The long sigh of the master made Cheng Siyuan sigh in his heart, and then said,

"Teacher, you have made a great contribution to Daming!"

Jin Zhijun did have a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty, if he hadn't proposed that Fujian send troops to attack Taiwan, how could the Loyal and Righteous Army Navy annihilate the Qing army in Keelung, resulting in the loss of the main force of the Fujian Qing army, and no longer able to pose a threat to Wannian, so that the imperial court could live in Fujian with peace of mind and no need to worry about anything else.

In addition, in the past two years, he has not known how much information has been transmitted to Jiangbei, he is not only Jiangbei's eyeliner, but also Jiangbei's mouthpiece, in the past two years, it is through the mouth of Han officials like Jin Zhijun that Jiangbei exerted various influences on the Manchu court.

They have had and they have also merited. Therefore, if the merits and demerits are offset, he will no longer be held responsible. It's just that when everyone in the world knows what a traitor is, how can they pass this hurdle?

"Gong, how can you cover up your mistakes?"

Looking back at the students in front of him, Jin Zhijun sighed.

"At this point, you are better than a teacher, a teacher and others, and you have read the articles of sages all your life in vain...... People with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm others, there is killing to become benevolent, life, and I also want it; Righteousness is also what I want, and I can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. "Kong said Chengren, Meng said righteousness, Jin someone read his life's articles in vain......"

Closing his eyes in some pain, Jin Zhijun's expression seemed a little depressed, since he had a secret communication with Jiangbei, he had thought a lot, and the self-anesthesia that he had finally turned into a joke.

Whether it is a change of dynasty or the theory of the five elements, it has never been the words of a saint, what the saint taught him is to take righteousness and become benevolent, which is what the saint taught, as for the rest, it is just a pretense for disdainful people.

The teacher's sigh made Cheng Siyuan choose to be silent, he knew what the teacher was thinking, maybe he was awakened, but this kind of awakening also has practical benefits, after all, once the Ming Dynasty restored the Beijing Division, a person like him who was obedient and obedient to the Qing Dynasty, even if he had contributed to the Ming, could only return to his hometown in the end, even if he did not investigate the sins of the traitors, but the name of the traitors was a shadow that they could not get rid of for the rest of their lives, unless...... can be honored as a Ming official, otherwise they can't be stigmatized, and only in this way can they let the world know that they were "helpless" to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and they were even "ordered to do it", they were not willing to be traitors.

It's just that when has there ever been such a good thing in the world, no...... It's not that there isn't, but sometimes, if you take the chance, it's not impossible.

"Teacher, in fact, ......"

After a moment of silence, Cheng Siyuan looked at Jin Zhijun with a depressed expression, and then said in a low voice.

"In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, I heard that when the teacher was ordered to erect a monument for the first emperor, he once got something......"

Cheng Siyuan's words were not loud, but when they fell on Jin Zhijun's ears, it made his whole body tremble suddenly, and then he looked at Cheng Siyuan in surprise for a while before he said.

"Yongda, you, what do you mean by that?"

After saying this, Jin Zhijun suddenly seemed to understand something, his face instantly turned pale, for him who had already experienced too many things, at this moment, he almost immediately understood the meaning of Cheng Siyuan's words, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the sunset, and said to himself.

"It's just nearly dusk......"
