The "Displaced Persons Case" killed many low-level officials, but several of the main responsible officials were not affected. Chen Guoshou was fined for half a year, had a demerit in the Ministry of Personnel, and was not allowed to be promoted for three years. Less than two months after the prefect Ma Jingyuan took office, the supervision was not effective, he was demoted and retained, and the acting should be Tianfu. Shangyuan Zhixian Qian bereaved love, but because of his meritorious service, he was promoted by half a level and became a sixth-grade Zhixian County. The unlucky one is only Zhang Yuanlin of Jiangning Zhixian County, he is not cleaning himself, but he also has Tong Yangjia to protect him, and he has a hair in Luzon.

After a big case, everyone finally found that the unlucky only the local bureaucrats of Nanzhili were unlucky, and the emperor's cronies Huguang faction did not suffer any losses at all. At the same time, because the grain merchants in Nanjing City have fallen into bad luck, the big grain merchants in Huguang and Guangdong have entered Nanjing one after another to occupy this large market with a population of one million.

Because of the help of her father Qian Qianyi, and her sister's pillow wind in the palace, Qian Yuai did not live in the cell for a day, and went home directly for residential surveillance. When the holy decree came down, Qian Yiai also made a meritorious debut.

Qian Yiai looked at the holy decree in a daze, he obviously didn't come out, why did the holy decree say so, Qian Yiai took the holy decree and found his father Qian Qianyi to understand the situation.

Qian Qianyi sighed when he saw the holy decree and said, "It seems that the emperor is ready to make a move against the gentry of Nanzhili!" ”

"Father, then why do you want to reward your son?"

"Fool, your father is the representative of the Nanzhili gentry, how can you make your father completely break with the Nanzhili gentry if you don't reward you?"

At this time, Qian Yiai also reacted, and couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's profound calculations. After a holy decree, his Qian family completely became the enemy of the gentry of Nanzhili, and when the emperor cleaned up those gentry, it was not easy to talk about his own family.

Thinking of this money, I couldn't help but sigh, although I was a little clever, but compared with the emperor and the cabinet elders, these old fritters became a completely fool-like task. This time, the emperor took advantage of the exile case to ruthlessly clean up the officials of Nanzhili, probably preparing as early as after entering Nanjing, so it seems that he can become this Shangyuan Zhi County is also in the emperor's calculations.

Now there is only one person left in Shangyuan County from top to bottom, and all the other officials have been killed. But don't worry, China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people who are officials, that is, Zhu Hongsan killed all the officials in the country three times, and many people are rushing to it.

While Qian Yiai was working for the unstaffed, another debate was being held in the palace.

As soon as Tong Tuchang came back, he was beaten by Fang Fengnian, and his face was full of injuries, and naturally the emperor's inquiry could not be held as scheduled. The emperor gave Tong Tuchang half a month off to recuperate at home, and today is the time for the injury to heal.

Yesterday, Tong Tuchang received a notice from the General Administration Department that this morning the issue of candidates for the peace talks in the north was debated at the Wenhua Palace, and the four people present were Ma Mingyuan, the first assistant, Tong Yangjia, the second assistant, Jiang Wenyun, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and Tong Tuchang, the political envoy of Fujian. Emperor Zhu Hongsan was afraid that there would be too many people, so he only chose these four people to come over.

Tong Tuchang came to the General Administration Department early to wait, and at about ten o'clock in the morning, he and Jiang Wenyun were taken into the palace by the small yellow gate in the palace, and came to the Wenhua Palace, where the emperor worked.

After entering the main hall, Ma Mingyuan and Tong Yangjia had already been sitting there waiting for a long time, and Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but want to be happy when he saw Tong Tuchang coming in. It turned out that Tong Tuchang was knocked out of a front tooth by Fang Fengnian, and now he has a gold tooth. The big gold teeth and Tong Tuchang's five short statures are really obscene and obscene. But it can't be helped, this era doesn't have any porcelain teeth like in later generations, and it's good to have a gold tooth.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "Tong Aiqing is really radiant!" ”

Tong Tuchang heard Zhu Hongsan laughing at himself, and hurriedly covered the gold tooth with his hand, so as not to defile his holy face. How do you know that Tong Tuchang's block made Zhu Hongsan laugh out loud.

After laughing enough, Zhu Hongsan said: "There are no outsiders today, let's discuss which one to use for the northbound peace talks?" Which of you two will tell me how this peace talks will proceed first! ”

Ma Mingyuan stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, Master Jiang, as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, is exactly what should be managed, so let him say it first!" ”

Tong Yangjia also stood up and fought for his nephew: "Your Majesty, Tong Tuchang is the political envoy of Zhengsanpinbu, according to his official position, he should say it first!" ”

Zhu Hongsan had a headache when he saw these two guys arguing, and he had to make trouble all the time.

"Okay, okay, Jiang Wenyun, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, you first talk about how to talk about peace talks!"

Jiang Wenyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes!" Your Majesty! ”

After the salute, Jiang Wenyun organized his language and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister serves as the chief envoy, he will know how to move with reason and emotion when he goes to Beijing, and persuade the Manchus not to raise troops to the south!" At the same time, let those barbarians realize my Ming broad-mindedness, and let the Manchu barbarians surrender to my Ming! ”

Zhu Hongsan listened to this Jiang Wenyun's mouth full of sour and rotten gas, what reason do you have to talk to others when you go to peace talks? Zhu Hongsan looked at the embarrassed Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan didn't expect this Jiang Wenyun to be stupid in reading, he knew that he could say this, it was better to teach him a few words last night.

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Okay, Tong Tuchang, you can talk about it!" ”

Tong Tuchang still did his homework, after all, Jinyiwei and Tong Yangjia have a good relationship, and it is easy to get some news about the Manchu Dynasty.

Tong Tuchang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the regent of the Manchu Qing in the north, Dolgon, is in power, and the little emperor Shunzhi is being suppressed, can you consider this direction!" ”

Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up, there is a door, it seems that this Tong Tuchang is not given in vain, and there is some truth in his heart.

"Tong Aiqing, tell me in detail!"

"Your Majesty, two elders! In the First Battle of Jiangxi, our army captured more than 5,000 Manchu Qing Eight Banners, and tens of thousands of Mongols! At that time, these people were all under the command of Dorgon, and they must also be Dorgon's cronies, and now Dolgon's prestige was greatly damaged because of the defeat in Jiangxi, so he forced the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to crown himself as regent of his imperial father. If the minister is the envoy, he can use these Manchu captives to make some exchanges with Dolgon! ”

As soon as Tong Tuchang's words came out, he was angry with Jiang Wenyun who was standing on the side, and Jiang Wenyun scolded: "Tong Tuchang, what do you want to do?" These barbarian captives were captured by our soldiers with blood, and you want to exchange them for the success of the peace talks? Are you worthy of the soldiers who died? ”

Ma Mingyuan sighed, seeing this, he knew that today's envoy must be cheap Tong Tuchang.

Zhu Hongsan also thought so, he heard Jiang Wenyun scolding Tong Tuchang there, slapped the table and shouted: "Come on, take this roaring guy out!" ”

Two Han generals came in at the door, and Jiang Wenyun, who was still unable to speak, was taken out of the palace and driven out of the palace.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said: "Tong Tuchang, what you said is reliable, I appointed you as the chief envoy of the peace talks, and the title of waiter of the Ministry of Rites, when the gifts are ready, you will take people north!" ”

Tong Tuchang was overjoyed in his heart, the title of squire was from the second grade, as big as the governor, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he would definitely give the squire when he came back.

Tong Tuchang was just about to kowtow to thank him, but he didn't know that Ma Mingyuan stood up and said, "Wait!" ”

Ma Mingyuan saw that the uncle and nephew of the Tong family got this errand so easily, and he was unwilling to do so, and was ready to add some blockage to Tong Yangjia.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the uncle and nephew of the Tong family are related to Tong Tulai, the father-in-law of the Manchu Emperor, and it is estimated that they still have contact in secret. Chen thinks it's a bit inappropriate to let Tong Tuchang be the envoy of this peace talks! What if Tong Tuchang's heart is towards the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”

When Tong Yangjia heard that Ma Mingyuan was so vicious, he scolded angrily: "Ma Mingyuan, Ma Er, you bastard, you bastard saw that our uncle and nephew had contact with the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”

Tong Yangjia scolded and said to Zhu Hongsan: "Your Majesty, you know best what the minister's background is, the minister has broken with the Tong family in Liaodong, and the minister has followed His Majesty for more than 20 years, can't you still make Your Majesty trust?" ”

Zhu Hongsan felt that what Ma Mingyuan said was also a bit excessive, Tong Yangjia was implicated in Tong's exile in Huguang back then, and Tong Yangjia's whole family was executed, and Tong Yangjia had worked hard for himself for more than 20 years, so he really couldn't chill his heart.

"Don't talk about Mr. Ma's past! Mr. Tong, don't worry! Your faithfulness I know best! ”

Ma Mingyuan saw Zhu Hongsan playing a round here, and knew in his heart that the candidate for today's peace talks must be Tong Tuchang, how could he give him some maggots and make the Tong family's uncle and nephew uncomfortable.

At this time, Ma Mingyuan suddenly saw Tong Tuchang's gold tooth, and remembered Fang Fengnian, who started beating Tong Tuchang. Although Fang Fengnian is the eldest brother's person, the feud with the Tong family cannot be resolved, so it is better to let Fang Fengnian go to disgusting and disgusting Tong Yangjia together.

After thinking about it, Ma Mingyuan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it was your subordinate Meng Lang just now, you shouldn't doubt Lord Tong's loyalty!" ”

When Tong Yangjia heard Ma Mingyuan's apology, his eyes were about to pop out, this is the sun coming out of the west, and Ma Lao Er can apologize.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there should be a deputy envoy for such a big matter as peace talks, and the minister recommends that the prefect of Yangzhou take up this position every year!"

Ma Mingyuan's words made Tong Yangjia angry half to death, and scolded Ma Mingyuan in his heart.

Zhu Hongsan's eyes lit up when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, yes! Zhu Hongsan didn't know whether the uncle and nephew of the Tong family had any contact with Tong Yangxing, so it was better to send someone to monitor him!

"Yes! Mr. Ma is right, the peace talks must be very dangerous, there are two people who can also discuss it, come to the people, pass the decree, and ascend to the prefect of Yangzhou Fang Fengnian as the Ministry of Rites from the Sanpin Lang, appoint him as the deputy envoy of the peace talks, let him prepare, and Tong Tuchang will go north together! ”

At this time, Zhu Hai, the crown prince who had not spoken on Zhu Hong's three sides, said: "Father, Lord Tong and Lord Fang are both civil officials, and a capable military attache should be selected from Jinyiwei, after all, the north is an enemy-occupied area, and those who have Jinyiwei can protect the safety of the two adults!" ”

Zhu Hong nodded again and again and asked, "Prince, what good candidate do you have?" ”

"Father, can you remember Zhao Mengguan, who promoted Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi anyway? This person is now Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, and he has experience working behind enemy lines, so why don't you let him go? ”

was reminded by the crown prince that Zhu Hongsan remembered that Zhao Mengguan, nodded and said: "Very good, pass the decree, promote Zhao Mengguan to the Jinyi Guard, and let him protect the safety of the two ministers!" ”
