Chapter 64: The Truth of Loyalty and Adultery
Ni Yuanlu, who had seen the confessions of Zhou Yanru and Chen Renzhong, shouted: "Your Majesty! "I was so angry that my face turned red and I almost fainted.
Ni Yuanlu, who came back to his senses, knelt on the ground and begged Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please punish the Donglin Zhufang!" Otherwise, under the imitation of everyone, there will be many bold and reckless people! ”
Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "Killing them all, of course it's simple." Jin Yiwei can do it easily.
But what about after killing them all? Who will govern this country for me?
On my own?
Do you rely on Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories?
How many people are like Aiqing who are dedicated to the country? ”
After questioning, it was not only a torture of Ni Yuanlu, but also a torture of himself, Chongzhen suddenly felt a little depressed, and said slowly: "Now Daming can be called the old empire, just like an old and old man, how can he withstand this toss?" I will definitely ask for an explanation for the affairs of the first emperor, but not now. ”
When Ni Yuanlu heard this, it was inconvenient to continue to ask Emperor Chongzhen to kill all the Donglin partymen, but since then he has deeply hated the Donglin party in his heart, but when he targeted the Donglin party, he was more radical than the eunuch party.
Without waiting for Ni Yuanlu to say anything more, Chongzhen continued: "This matter will be discussed later." I have sent the edict to Qing this time for the sake of this "Record of Loyalty and Adultery". ”
When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he said: "The minister is willing to listen to him." ”
Chongzhen said: "The previous Jiannu siege city, there is one of them, named Fan Wencheng. was originally a Han Chinese, but he was willing to be a lackey of Jiannu.
Feeling this, I decided to compile the "Record of Loyalty and Traitors", which lists the loyal ministers and traitors of many dead state affairs since the Qin and Han dynasties.
the so-called loyal ministers of the dead festival, such as Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others;
The so-called traitor is to take the meaning of 'traitor who betrays the Han', such as the Han Zhongxing said, Gao Hui of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, etc.
Whether loyal or treacherous, write their names and record their stories, so that they can be passed on to the world. Those who are loyal to the ministers will be famous for a hundred years, and the traitors will be stinky for thousands of years, and they will be admonished for the latecomers! ”
Ni Yuanlu immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Although there have been some story books before, most of them were compiled by the people, and there are also shortcomings.
Now that His Majesty has ordered his ministers to edit this book, the ministers will definitely go all out. ”
Chongzhen said with a smile: "Ni Aiqing thinks this is the end?" ”
Ni Yuanlu was surprised: "In addition, the ministers really don't know what other tricks Your Majesty has. ”
Chongzhen said: "After the completion of the compilation and revision, I ordered the craftsman to be the supervisor in the book, and selected loyal ministers and good generals such as Wen Tianxiang and Yue Wumu, a total of 12 people, cast the statue of the god in the Martyrs' Shrine, and enjoy the incense from generation to generation.
For example, Zhongxing Yue and Fan Wencheng choose the number of twelve and cast a kneeling statue with pig iron, so that they kneel outside the martyrs' shrine for people to spur! ”
Although Ni Yuanlu was surprised, he also felt extremely relieved. Just heard Chongzhen repeatedly mention the name Fan Wencheng, so he asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know who this Fan Wencheng is?" If his name is listed in the traitor record, the minister needs to know the life of this person, otherwise he will only make it up out of thin air, and he is afraid that he will be laughed at by the world. ”
Chongzhen said: "Fan Wencheng is the nineteenth grandson of Fan Xiwen, the late Song Wenzheng Gong, and a student member of Shenyang County. Yu Liaodong did not rank in the imperial examination, so there were many resentments, and there were often resentful words.
When the old slave went to Fushun, Fan Wencheng voted for the old slave with his brother Fan Wenhuan as a showman.
Later, it was quite trusted and reused by the old slaves, and he had many plans to attack the Ming Dynasty. Now that the old slave is dead, this fang is relied on by Huangtaiji Jiannu. ”
When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he said: "This thief should be punished by his nine clans!" Fang Zhenggong is aware of the underground, but he is not at peace. ”
Chongzhen said: "Of course this thief deserves to die. After the Martyrs' Shrine is completed, I will still take him to kneel in front of the Martyrs' Shrine. ”
After Ni Yuanlu left the palace and went to Zhang Luo to edit the "Record of Loyalty and Traitor", Chongzhen looked in the direction of Liaodong and said to himself: "Fan Wencheng, don't die, wait for me." ”
The gloomy aura in the words couldn't be dispersed, and Wang Chengen next to him was shocked.
Wang Chengen joked: "Don't worry, the emperor, then Fan Wencheng will definitely be captured alive." ”
Chongzhen smiled when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he went back to the harem to find Queen Zhou to talk.
said Liaodong, Wang Xuanshan also had a headache. How to toss along the way and don't mention it, even if the family members of several convicts died because of the water and soil, Wang Xuanxi didn't take it to heart - after all, he arrived at Phi Island safely.
After handing over the families of Zhou Yanru and other prisoners to Mao Wenlong, Wang Xuanlian also met Liu Xingzuo.
After conveying the confession of the Son of Heaven ordering Liu Xingzuo to enter Beijing to face the saint, Wang Xuanshan hurriedly ran back to Shenyang with a brocade guard from a hundred households.
After the brocade guards of a hundred households sneaked into Shenyang in batches, Wang Xuanlian gathered several general flags and small flags together, but they discussed a major event.
Wang Xuanshan said: "Calling everyone over today, it is a headless business to do." First of all, it is not an exaggeration to state that once this matter is done, it is basically nine deaths and one life, or ten deaths and no life.
Only children in the family are not allowed to participate, and those who have young children in the family are not allowed to participate. Only those who have no high hall and no wives and children have a share. ”
After Wang Xuan's words were finished, a voice came from among the two hundred households: "Hey, Lord Wang Qianhu, you don't have a part in this matter first, and the credit is all for the brothers." ”
Hearing the ridicule of this voice, Wang Xuanxi was not annoyed, but just scolded with a smile: "Get out of your dog's day Liu Laosi." There are just 1,000 households of labor and management, and you still dare to talk to labor and management like this, and you are not afraid that labor and management will wear small shoes for you. ”
It turned out that Liu Laosi didn't come no matter what he said at the time, and finally followed Wang Xuanlin to Liaodong.
The people below were also acquaintances with Wang Xuanxi in the past or had worked together, and they were not afraid of him, so they laughed one after another.
Wang Xuanxi said: "This matter is not a joke, among you, half of the people are also going to lurk." In the future, we will continue to inquire about the news and send it back to China. ”
When everyone heard this, they knew that this task must be extraordinary, so they stopped making a sound, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to what Wang Xuanshan said.
Wang Xuanxi saw that everyone was quiet, so he said: "Before the brothers came to Liaodong this time, they were fortunate to be summoned by the Son of Heaven. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was envious. After all, Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and what the army teaches is to deify the Son of Heaven, and to teach the people of Jinyiwei to dedicate everything to the Son of Heaven, even if they sacrifice their lives, they should not hesitate!
Now that Wang Xuanshan has gone to the shit luck of the dog, not only has he risen to a thousand households, but he has also seen the Son of Heaven, how can everyone not be envious?
But Wang Xuanshan continued: "A certain emperor was edicted, but there was an extremely confidential task to confess. That's what we're talking about today. ”
