Because Gao Yihuan sent Kong Youde to Nanjing, the people in Nanjing City were boiling again.

Previously, Gao Yihuan offered the head of Man Dahai, which made the people happy for a while, but the court did not express its position, dragging the people and losing patience, and they were extremely disappointed in their hearts, and they slowly did not care about this matter.

This time, Kong Youde was sent to Nanjing, and the enthusiasm of the people was ignited again, and it was even more enthusiastic than the first time.

Who is Kong Youde? Denglai Rebellion Cholera Shandong, after which he turned his back on the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, helping the Dongyu to attack the national thieves of the Ming Dynasty. He was the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was also the highest-ranking Tartar official captured since the Liao Incident.

Back then, it was said that the old slave died under the cannon of the Ming army, but after all, the Ming Dynasty did not see it, this time it was different, it was a living Kong Youde, sent to the eyes, and let the Ming Dynasty dispose of it, the people could see it with their own eyes and participate in it, and the reaction was naturally enthusiastic.

In fact, not only the common people were excited, but this time even the little emperor couldn't sit still.

Previously, the little emperor only thought that Gao Yihuan was a Zhu Quanzhong-style character, and he didn't like this person, but this Gao Yihuan was really capable of fighting, but it made the little emperor contradictory.

On the one hand, he had doubts about Gao Yihuan, and on the other hand, he hoped that Gao Yihuan could be used by him to help him reorganize his ancestors.

In the imperial city, in the imperial study, Zhu Cihong listened to his subordinates' report on Gao Yihuan.

This time, Gao Yihuan first sent the head of Man Dahai and then Kong Youde, which really shocked many people, and made people have to re-examine him as the number one person.

And gave Wang Yan a lot of information, asked a lot of people, inquired about a lot of news in previous years, and his eyes were red, and he finally figured out Gao Yihuan's fortune trajectory.

In the imperial study, Zhu Cihong sat behind the imperial case, while Lu Zhenfei, Chen Zilong and other imperial party cadres stood on both sides, listening to Wang Yan talk about his achievements.

"Your Majesty, Gao Jingzhong is a native of Chenliu, Henan, and his father Gao Zurong is a student, originally a small squire in the countryside of Chenliu. In the fifteenth year of the first emperor, the thief attacked Kaifeng, and his father and son were coerced by the thief Liu Shunbu and forced to follow the thief. At that time, Gao Jingzhong returned to Germany from the thief leader Li Guo, and had meritorious achievements, becoming the captain of the thief, and the outer town of Luyi. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yan paused, "Your Majesty, there is something here, and the minister thinks it is very interesting." ”

Zhu Cihong said, "Qing family, please speak." ”

Wang Yan looked around and said: "Gao Jingzhong saved Liang Yizhang, the prefect of Guide, in the battle of returning from Li Guo to Germany, and wanted to surrender, but Liang Yizhang refused to obey and insisted on leaving, so he sent Liang Yizhang out of the country. Liang Yizhang was later locked by the imperial court to investigate the crime of losing land and trapping the city, and when he was in prison, he repeatedly suggested that the first emperor let His Majesty go south. ”

Zhu Cihong's heart moved, "What about this Liang Yizhang?" ”

Wang Yan replied: "More than a year ago, I fled from Beijing to Jiangbei, but the imperial court was in the middle of the case, and he was also among the criminals and could not be hired, so he went to Gao Jingzhong again." ”

Zhu Cihong sighed slightly, "It's a pity! ”

At this time, Wang Yan continued: "I am talking about Gao Jingzhong, since he was in a foreign town, his strength has developed. Unlike rogues like Li Chuang, he is very good at running his own territory. At the end of the fifteenth year of the first emperor, the superintendent Sun Chuanting fought with the thieves in Henan, Gao Jingzhong went out to fight from the thieves, defeated Zuo Liangyu in Yuncheng, and took advantage of the victory to capture Runing. In the sixteenth year of the first emperor, the thief took the pass, Gao Jing obtained the post of defense envoy in southern Henan, and was ordered by the thief to defend the southern part of Henan, but he took advantage of Zhang Xianzhong's cholera Huguang to send troops to seize Xiangyang, and annexed the people and horses in the middle of the thief king's body, and controlled Nanyang Mansion by the wayside, and became a giant who controlled southern Henan and northern Hubei. His Majesty also knew what happened later. ”

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, "In just a few years, from a little-known little person, to a prince, it is not easy to be loyal." ”

Wang Yan also felt that this Gao Jingzhong was very interesting, so he said: "Your Majesty, this Gao Jingzhong has also done a few very interesting things. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at him, and Wang Yan continued: "From the end of the fifteenth year to the beginning of the sixteenth year of the first emperor, during this time, the Donglu broke through the wall and entered, and the Guan army had no way to deal with the Dongyu. At that time, Gao Jingzhong was a thief, but he secretly ran to Shandong, fought a battle with the Dongyu, killed more than 1,000 prisoners, and gave the head of the captive soldiers to the official army, which stimulated the fighting spirit of the official army, and the official army crossed the line of Xuzhou and drove the Donglu out of the pass. ”

"And this?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, and then remembered something again, "Last year, the Ma Pavilion Department played to appease Gao Jingzhong, and he took the initiative to ask for caressing." ”

Wang Yan nodded, "Your Majesty is not mistaken, it was indeed Gao Jingzhong who took the initiative to ask for comfort, but the imperial court was still undecided, so he used this as an excuse to go south to Huguang, snatch food from He Gebu's mouth, and rob Jingzhou." ”

At the beginning, Zhu Cihong was in the grief of losing his father and hated all the rogues, so when Gao Yihuan begged for comfort for the first time, he did not have an attitude of acceptance, and the second time Gao Yihuan begged for caressing, he was a little suspicious of threat, which made Zhu Cihong, who was the son of heaven, feel humiliated, so he did not have a good impression of Gao Yihuan.

Now that Zhu Cihong listened to Gao Yihuan's deeds, he suddenly found that Gao Yihuan didn't seem to be so bad, judging from what he did, he still wanted to serve the court in his heart.

"Gao Jingzhong, this person can still be used!" Zhu Cihong suddenly sighed.

As he spoke, he looked at everyone and asked, "How do you think of him?" ”

A few people in the study discussed a few words, and Chen Zilong came out to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Jingzhong is a double-edged sword, and if you use it well, you can hurt people, and if you use it badly, you will hurt yourself." This person can fight, and if he uses it well, he is a Ming barrier, but because he is too capable of fighting, he has the habit of being a rogue and does not follow the rules, so once he can't be restrained, he will be a great harm to the country. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, but said: "I think Gao Jingzhong is very good, he doesn't obey orders and doesn't follow the rules, can he compare to Zuo Liangyu?" Jingzhong can at least fight against the Eastern Captives and capture a national thief like Kong Youde, Zuo Liangyu will consume food and salary, but it will only harm my people. ”

After listening to Gao Yihuan's deeds, the little emperor had some changes in his image, and felt that Xiao Gao was still very good.

The national disaster thinks of the good generals, compared with Gao Yihuan, Zuo Liangyu and the like, they can't do it at all.

Zhu Cihong also hoped that he could get a good general, so he unconsciously ignored Gao Yihuan's bad deeds.

At this time, Wang Yan also said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Jingzhong can indeed be used, this person seems to have a deep hatred for Dongyu, with him, the court is worry-free in Xiangfan." However, the imperial court can't rely on him too much, if Your Majesty wants to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, you still need to have the forces under your Majesty's personal control, rather than relying on the feudal town. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't want to personally control the army, but in the current situation, he couldn't help but sigh, "How easy it is to say!"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is an opportunity in front of you." Your Majesty has no better way to take power than by war. As long as the war is fought together, His Majesty can control the power openly, levy taxes, and train the army. Previously, the imperial court was war-stable, but now Gao Jingzhong sent Kong Youde, and His Majesty ordered him to be killed in public, and the Lord and the faction had to die down immediately, and His Majesty would have an excuse to prepare for war! ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and he felt that what Wang Yan said was very reasonable~
