The shackles in his hands clanged and swayed, Zhang Pu slowly walked up to the court step by step under the leadership of the eunuch, looking at his figure, many officials of the young faction burst into fiery brilliance in their pupils, while some of the old school were like seeing a thorn in the bones, full of jealousy and hatred.

However, whether it is Donglin or Fushe, the pupils of officials large and small standing in this Nanjing court are full of excited expressions, party fighting! It is still the largest two factions in the southern province that are leaning against each other, a grand occasion that has been rare for decades! It seemed that they all felt that their knees were hot, and there was a faint flame spraying from their mouths, and every Nanguan was eager to try.

However, this first sound was made by Emperor Hongguang, with one elbow on his cheeks, Zhu Yousong was lazily with a sense of annoyance, and asked in a greasy voice.

"Lord Zhang, why is Wenzhou so confused? In July, before you took office, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, you promised to obtain 2.6 million taels of income for the imperial court, but this year it was only 970,000 taels, and you forced many merchants to death, you are really disappointed! ”

It's no wonder that Zhu Yousong is depressed, this matter is about him, Qian Qianyi and several gentlemen promised him that 2.6 million taels of tax silver will be put into the treasury, and the emperor's internal treasury will rise by 500,000 taels, but he is looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to the moon, and the 1.3 million taels of military spending have not yet been raised, and 200,000 taels will be taken out from his internal funds to subsidize military expenses, so it is strange that Hongguang is not annoyed.

However, the emperor's tone made the Donglin Party uncomfortable, Zhu Yousong's tone complained mostly, but he did not ask the guilt, and Wang Qia, who had been brewing the lion's roar all morning, was almost suffocated to death in one breath. If you follow Zhu Yousong's tone, then this trial is only to find fault rather than punish the crime, this purpose is inconsistent with the Donglin Party to get rid of Zhang Pu, the nail is not in line with the Donglin Party, and the hundred-year-old resentful woman glanced at the emperor, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu regained his momentum and roared behind Zhu Yousong.

"The abuse of the merchants and the people, the mediocrity, and the corpses are vegetarian, resulting in the loss of the imperial court's tax money, the displacement of the people, and the people's misery, are you guilty?"

Brushed it, as Wang Qia's angry eyes widened, the halberd pointed over, the eyes of the six Shangshu, the four cabinet ministers, and a group of big people all converged on Zhang Pu who was kneeling in the middle hall, each of them was an old politician who had been an official for many years, and that fierce force, if he was half bold, he would be scared out of breath.

But is Zhang Pu a bold person? Not to mention trembling, he didn't even react at all, his face raised as usual, and replied in an extremely indifferent tone.

"The minister is not guilty!"

"A bunch of nonsense!!"

Wang Qia was almost out of breath, angrily holding the big sword of Wat Dang and pointing at Zhang Pu's head, the green tendons on his forehead were twisted like earthworms and roared: "In Wenzhou City, more than 30 families under Wang Zhixing were forced by you to commit suicide!" Nearly 100 merchants are surrounded by walls, and the income of the household department is as short as more than 1.6 million, your hands are full of blood, what face do you have to claim to be innocent? ”

The boss has to be a foil for the younger brother to have momentum, what is the party struggle, a party side by side to pull the work together, after Wang Qia finished speaking, this court is just like the summer know, the party members of the Donglin party jumped out one after another, pointing at Zhang Pu's nose and scolding everything, what rebellion, disloyalty and unfilial piety, and even said that he was a spy sent by Mao Jue.

However, in such a cry of questioning, none of the members of the Restoration Party spoke, and all of them remained silent, as if they had given up on Zhang Pu, and Zhang Pu, who was kneeling on the ground, did not say a word, his gaze did not fall in front, but forty-five degrees, and he actually looked back slightly.

Under his gaze, a man was like a thorn in his back, the one-legged standing on the ground trembled violently, and the young forehead twisted like a snake in a few coals of fire.

Bang dang~

Incredibly, Wang Qia looked at the gate of the palace, the noisy court was quiet, and in the dumbfounded Donglin party, Luo Zhen once again smashed the handle of the golden gourd hammer in his hand on the ground.

"Ancestral system, above the court, no noise!"

With this sentence, the Donglin Party's imposing attack was completely broken just now, and without waiting for the annoyed Wang Qia to start brewing the next wave of attacks, the initiative had been seized by Zhang Pu.

kneeling up straight, he also raised his shackled hands, pointed at Wang Qia's nose and scolded.

"The thief shouts to catch the thief! Slippery world! Is it the official who forced the Wang family and many merchants to death? It is Wang Shangshu who is making a lot of nonsense, and Qian Ge Lao, Gao Ge Lao! ”

"Zhang Pu, you dare to be so rebellious and spew blood!"

I didn't expect that I was actually dragged into the water, Qian Qianyi was like being bitten, and he also jumped out like thunder, but the leader of the Restoration Society was the leader of the Restoration Society, full of ridicule, angry like a bell, it was simply an overwhelming momentum, he straightened his chest, roared and roared.

"Why did the Southern Merchants fail fiasco this time, the root cause is that the Northern Commercial Merchants have no tax! And the southern merchant must pay thirty percent of the tax to the northern barbarian merchants! For the same thing, ten taels in the Northern Barbarians, and the merchants of our dynasty have to get thirteen taels in order not to lose! Moreover, the good port was cut, and the merchants of our dynasty had to go to sea in the wind and rain, and there was no supply on the road, and the hardships on the way were full, how could they not compensate? ”

"If it weren't for a few cabinet elders who bowed down to the north and lost their power and humiliated the country, why would they be where they are now?"

Whether it was Qian Qianyi or Gao Hongtu, they really dreamed a hundred times that Zhang Pu would dare to burn the fire to Mao Jue!

And what made them even more incredible was that Zhang Pu was not satisfied with this alone, his voice was so loud that it was almost broken, he was furious, his eyes were red, and he stood up with red eyes, and the shackles in his hands shook and clanged.

"Zhu Ziyan, go to people's desires, save heavenly principles! What is Heavenly Principles? Gentlemen and ministers are constant, and the rivers and mountains are cooperative! Now that half of my Ming Dynasty has fallen, the Northern Barbarians are rebellious, and they dare to take care of the world on behalf of the emperor and cut off my Ming sacrifice! Everyone in the world is enthusiastic about the crown, and they can't wait to lift the three-foot Qingfeng and collect the fifty states of Guanshan for His Majesty! But all the elders, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, seeking skin with tigers, cutting land and paying tribute, and betraying the country for glory? Have you learned all the teachings of the saints in the belly of a dog? What is the difference between you and Qin Hui? ”

"Your Majesty, please send a righteous division to recover Hangzhou, Quan, Fu, and Ning Prefectures! Although the minister is a scholar, he is willing to be a pioneer for His Majesty! ”

Kowtow again, this is a signal, see you in the picture! There was a bang, and the officials who occupied three-fifths of the court knelt down, although they were all petty officials, but most of them were young scholars, and the momentum was not comparable to that of a group of old men, and the roar was also extremely neat, kneeling on the ground and roaring.

"Restore my rivers and mountains !!"

"Your Majesty, please go on a northern expedition! I wish to smear my liver and brain!! ”

During the Chongzhen period, the distress encountered by the former emperor Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Yousong also tasted it thoroughly this time, and the overwhelming roar made him unable to intervene as an emperor, but in line with these guys' promise to the Northern Expedition, thinking of the momentum of Mao Jue when he drank the Yangtze River, he was a fat face and white, at a loss, and sat on the dragon chair dumbfounded.

I couldn't interject a few times, and finally the beads of sweat on my forehead didn't stop, Qian Qianyi simply looked back, other stupid things, this Zhu Yousong understood in his heart, the dignified emperor actually turned around and left in the roar of the ministers, and fled to the harem in a gray way.

A few seconds later, the court was finally quiet, even if those officials of the Donglin faction were dumbfounded, the emperor fled the court, for thousands of years, it was really unprecedented!

But although it is a party dispute, it also has to abide by the rules of the game, the emperor is still the nominal supreme decision-maker, Zhu Yousong has fled, what's the point of shouting again? In the stunned side of the restoration society, Qian Qianyi took the opportunity to snatch the job of a eunuch and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Retreat from the !!"

The battle of the Donglin Restoration Society, which attracted worldwide attention, ended in a shameless way for the emperor.

On the surface, no one suffered a loss, and it seemed to be a tie, but people with discerning eyes knew in their hearts that Donglin had lost! It has always been Donglin who stands on the moral high ground to accuse others, but now he has been turned around by feng shui, so that Zhang Pu has no power to fight back, because the three outlines and five constants are the highest standards in the feudal era, Mao Jue replaced the Ming Dynasty as the emperor, but Qian Qianyi and others did nothing, which is unreasonable.

In the next few days, the newspaper of new things that has been born in the north for more than a year was finally born in Jiangnan, under the leadership of Zhang Pu, the Fushe created the Nandu Daily, and young people accepted new things quickly enough, and the vernacular that they despised before was also completely introduced at this time, and the Nandu Daily was all in the vernacular.

However, in the end, a cultural person is still a cultural person, Zhang Pu did not scold his mother openly, but published Zu Di, Yue Fei, the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi, and the century of Liu Yu, the ancestor of the Northern Expedition, sneering at the inaction of today's cabinet.

In the face of the victorious pursuit of the Restoration Society, Donglin was simply powerless to fight back.

Qianfu, Muzhai.

In the uproar, it was much simpler than the Jingshi Daily, and it turned out to be a handwritten copy of the Nandu Daily, which was torn to pieces, and his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, Qian Qianyi was angry and roared in anger.

"I don't know the general situation! Not for the Son of Man! Not a minister! Zhang Pu, damn it! ”

Did the Donglin Party do it wrong? That's right! If you stiffen your neck and Mao Jue to the end, there will be no scum left that has been wiped out long ago, and in the face of these stubborn Jiangnan scholars, if you want to implement your own reforms and not take the old road, Mao Jue, who can't bear it, is estimated to have to raise the butcher's knife and destroy it physically, and the compromise strategy of the Donglin Party can be regarded as indirectly saving the lives of millions of the Jiangnan clan and these self-interested capitalist illegal merchant families.

But the opposition will always shout more than the ruling one, Zhang Pu dares to shout about the decisive battle of the Northern Expedition, but he Qian Qianyi doesn't dare, if he is hot-headed, they will be finished!

Even so, it cannot be said that Donglin is more noble, and the overall situation they maintain is entirely for their own vital interests.

"Master, if you can't do it, promise to go north! Even if he dies in battle, the death is vigorous, better than being pointed out by these Confucian scholars! ”

Seeing Qian Qianyi's sad face, while feeling distressed, Liu Ru, who came over with fragrant tea, simply said angrily, who knows this, Qian Qianyi frowned again.

"Women's family, what do you know!"

After holding the tea, he lowered his head and took a sip, and then Qian Qianyi hurriedly lifted the pen, and the dragon and the phoenix flew up on a piece of rice paper, and under Liu Ru's stunned gaze, a paper full of humility came out of the hands of the Donglin sect master.

"Send this letter to Xuzhou, Jiangbei, it must be fast! Be sure to keep it a secret! ”

Inside the house, Qian Qianyi's low and urgent instructions kept sounding, shaking his head in disappointment, Liu Ru was like entering the abalone, he didn't want to stay for a moment, and hurriedly walked out of the study!
