Zhu Hongsan was furious when he saw that Zhang Tongchang was also soft and hard. That Qu Shiyun is old, and he will admit it if he pretends to be a big clove of garlic, what are you pretending to be an official for the fourth generation?

Zhang Huangyan saw Zhu Hongsan's face was pale, and knew that this emperor was going to be crazy again, so he hurriedly said on the side: "Your Majesty, Zhang Beishan has an upright temperament, please don't take it to heart!" ”

How do you know that Zhang Tongchang didn't appreciate Zhang Huangyan's intercession for himself, and said directly to Zhang Huangyan: "Zhang Huangyan, I really didn't expect you to be so good at turning the wind and steering the rudder!" Where is the loyal Zhang Xuanzhu in eastern Zhejiang? Where is Zhang Cangshui, who wants to sacrifice his life for Lu Jianguo? ”

Zhang Tongchang was originally not bad with Zhang Huangyan when he was in Nanzhili, and he could talk about it, but now Zhang Huangyan was robbed by Zhang Tongchang, his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Zhu Hongsan scolded: "Okay! You toast and don't eat and drink, so don't complain about Lao Tzu's cruelty! Come! Escort these two guys down, and three days later, they will be executed with Zhu Hengshu's whole family! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, Jinyi Wei came in and escorted the two of them down, and they were imprisoned together with Zhu Hengshu.

Zhang Huangyan heard that Zhu Hongsan was going to kill these two, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these two people must not be killed!" Qu Shiyun has been an official for many years, and his protégés are all over the world! Zhang Tongchang is a descendant of Zhang Jiangling, and killing the two of them is very detrimental to His Majesty's new policy! ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhang Huangyan, who was angry, and asked, "Xuanzhu, you have always said nothing about the new deal, and now is an opportunity, I will ask you what you think of the new deal!" ”

Zhang Huangyan didn't expect the emperor to ask about this now, he didn't agree with the new policy, but he didn't object either. Zhang Huangyan's family was a large landowner in Ningbo, Zhejiang, and his status determined that he could not agree to the new policy at all. But Zhang Huangyan is not one of those corrupt Confucians, he knows that the current land annexation is too powerful, and seventy percent of the land in Nanzhili and Zhejiang is in the hands of big landlords and Dashi clans. For example, in Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili, one-third of the land is in the hands of the Xu family, and the Qian family in Changshu is also a well-known big landowner. If it is left unchecked, it will be the same as the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in the end, the power of the great family will be so great that the emperor can be abolished at will. Therefore, Zhang Huangyan clearly knew that the New Deal would be beneficial to the country and not harmful, but he really could not betray his class, so he never expressed his opinion on the New Deal.

But now Zhang Huangyan can't care about any class in order to save his friends: "Your Majesty, this Qu Shiyun was born in Changshu, and he is also a famous person all over the world, Zhang Tongchang is a direct descendant of Zhang Jiangling, and the two of them are shouting for His Majesty's new policy, which can reduce a lot of resistance!" ”

"Xuanzhu, you didn't answer my question! I ask you what you think about the new policy? Agree or disagree? ”

Zhang Huangyan saw that the emperor forced him to express his position, he couldn't help it, he knew that as long as he said the word disagree, he would definitely be disgusted by the emperor, and any future marquis and prime minister would be nonsense. But the emperor asked, and he couldn't help but answer.

Zhang Huangyan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the new policy has a hundred benefits to the national court and no harm, the founding of the country has been more than two hundred and seventy years old, and the land annexation is serious, if you leave it alone, the disaster in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty is just around the corner!" ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded with satisfaction when he heard Zhang Huangyan say this, in fact, Zhu Hongsan didn't want to do anything about this new deal. Zhu Hongsan is a person who is very afraid of trouble, as long as he can ensure that he can live well. In the previous plan of Zhu Hongsan, he first went to Guangdong to make a lot of money and accumulate strength, and waited until the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed the big landlords in Nanzhili and eastern Zhejiang, and then launched an army to the north.

But how could he think that Zhu Hong's three thousand calculations were not counted in the hearts of the people, and the stinky old nine of his literati arched him to the throne early for their own interests, and finally forced him to be the emperor, so he put Zhu Hongsan on the fire and roasted it. To be the emperor is to tell Yongli and the Manchu Qing that Lao Tzu is also the emperor and will fight you to the end. In this way, Zhu Hongsan's previous calculations were completely completed, and at the same time, in order to surpass Yongli Zhu Youlang in prestige, he could only go north and fight the Manchus early in the case of insufficient preparation, and occupied Nanjing.

Of course, the benefits of occupying Nanjing are great, but the side effects are also great, originally Nanzhili and Zhejiang's great families because of their opposition to the Manchu shaving order, and the Manchus to the end, and finally killed by the Manchus. But now the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Nanzhili for less than three years and was beaten away by Zhu Hongsan, so that the skeleton of the entire Nanzhili landlord is still there, and Zhu Hongsan inherited half of the Chongzhen Emperor's country, so those sharp land contradictions in the Chongzhen period were inherited by Zhu Hongsan at all. At the same time, on the basis of the large landlords and the Dashi clan not paying taxes, Zhu Hongsan also had to take out a large number of official positions to satisfy these big landlords who resisted the Manchus to the death.

In this way, in addition to some political benefits, Zhu Hongsan's occupation of Nanjing did not have any economic benefits, but he had to give all kinds of rewards to those big landlords and scholars, which made the poor have to suck their fingers and force Zhu Hongsan to die!

It was precisely because of the financial crisis and his plans for future generations that Zhu Hongsan wanted to implement the new policy in Nanzhili. But who knew that those big landlords reacted strongly, and it directly made Ma Mingyuan lose his official, and at this time, Zhu Youlang, who was far away in Guangxi, also came out to make fun, Zhu Hongsan had no way to remove Ma Mingyuan from office, which could be regarded as appeasing these big landlords in Nanzhili.

However, Zhu Hongsan knew that the new policy was only suspended at present, and that the new policy would be implemented after the reunification of the whole country in the future. Zhang Huangyan, as Zhu Hongsan's absolute confidant, naturally wants to ask about his political position, if he is at odds with Zhu Hongsan, then don't blame Zhu Hongsan for being polite.

Zhang Huangyan has also been an official for many years, so he naturally knows what the emperor means, and for his own political ambitions, he has no choice but to agree to the emperor's new policy.

After Zhu Hongsan got an affirmative answer from Zhang Huangyan, he was in a good mood and laughed: "Okay! Xuanzhu, Qu Shiyun and Zhang Tongchang are your good friends, I give you this face, they will ask them in three days, you can persuade them in these two days, whether they can live depends on you Zhang Huangyan! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he stood up and returned to the apse to harm Zhu Hengxi's fourteen-year-old daughter.

Zhang Huangyan received Zhu Hongsan's holy decree, returned to his residence to prepare a banquet, and came to the temporary prison in the Jingjiang Palace, ready to persuade Qu Shiyun.

Qu Shiyun saw Zhang Huangyan coming, and he didn't say anything, anyway, I will eat whatever you have, eat and drink, but don't talk about it.

Zhang Huangyan looked at Qu Shiyun's joyful eating, and asked on the side: "Brother Qitian, don't you want the old mother and young son in Changshu's hometown?" ”

Qu Shiyun heard Zhang Huangyan mention his family, put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Xuanzhu, how can the old man not want them?" The old mother is old, the dog is young, and the old man has been away from Changshu for more than five years, and I don't know how the family is now! ”

Zhang Huangyan felt that there was a door when he heard Qu Shiyun say this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qitian, don't worry about this, the teacher has always taken good care of Qitian's family, and the emperor has also arranged for the eldest son Qian Sunai to go to Changshu to settle the old lady. ”

The teacher in Zhang Huangyan's mouth is Zhu Hongsan's cheap old man Qian Qianyi, although Lao Qian is only eight years older than Qu Shiyun, he is Qu Shiyun's teacher and his officialdom leader, so Qu Shiyun respects Qian Qianyi very much. And Zhang Huangyan has listened to Qian Qianyi's several classes, and he is a registered disciple, so he has some unclear friendship with Qu Shiyun.

Qu Shiyun heard that his old mother and young son had an arrangement, stood up and bowed to Zhang Huangyan and fell to the ground: "Xuanzhu, now as Emperor Shenwu's henchman, you will definitely be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, and the dog will ask Xuanzhu to take care of you on your behalf!" ”

When Zhang Huangyan heard that Qu Shiyun was a little lonely, he quickly stood up and returned the salute, and then said, "Brother Qitian, why are you so stubborn? Now that Your Majesty has achieved the general trend, how do you think you are still so stubborn, can't you learn from Yongle Yang Mianren? ”

Yang Mianren is Yang Rong, one of the three Yang Yang of the cabinet during the Yongle period, Yang Rong was the second place in the second class appointed by Emperor Jianwen, but after Zhu Di's success in Jingjing, Yang Rong was the first to stand up and say to Zhu Di, who had just entered the city: "Your Highness pays homage to the Taizu Mausoleum first, or ascends the throne first?" As a result, Zhu Di obtained the legitimacy of the throne, so Zhu Di said that the emperor admired Yang Rong very much.

Qu Shiyun now listened to Zhang Huangyan compare himself to Yang Rong, a virtuous minister, and said with a slight smile: "If this is Jingjing, some people will be Yang Rong, and naturally there will be people who will be Fang Xiaoru!" ”

Zhang Huangyan listened to Qu Shiyun compare himself to Fang Xiaoru who was punished by the Ten Clans, and knew that this Qu Shiyun was determined to die, thinking of this Zhang Huangyan, he didn't persuade Qu Shiyun, but sat down to drink with him.

Three days later, it was the day when Emperor Zhu Hongsan wanted to execute Qu Shiyun, and Qu Shiyun was killed on the same day, as well as Zhu Hengshu, the king of Jingjiang. He was much more ruthless in dealing with his relative Zhu Hongsan, and directly said in front of Zhu Hengshu that his three sons were hanged, and then sent Zhu Hengshu back to the west with a foot of white silk.

Today's as the supervisor is the founding prince Zhao Yinxuan who surrendered to Zhu Hongsan, and Zhu Hongsan was sent by Zhu Hongsan to watch the beheading, as well as Hu Yiqing, the prince of Weiguo, Yang Guodong, the Marquis of Wuling, Yongzuo, Wang Yongzuo, Suining Bo Puying, and Ning Wu Bo Ma Yanglin. However, these guys are not as good as the heroes and veterans of Nanjing, and when Zhu Hongsan arrived in Guilin, these guys became surrenderers without much resistance.

Zhu Hongsan originally thought that these guys who were in the way had killed something, but Zhang Huangyan said that now Zhu Youlang has not been eliminated, and these Yungui generals are entrenched in the local forces, so it is better to appease them first.

Zhu Hongsan thought that this was also the case, so he didn't kill them, and Emperor Yongli still retained their titles, but asked them to hand over their military power, and then go to Nanjing to settle down.

Most of the troops in the hands of these guys were lost outside the city of Guangzhou, or outside the city of Guilin, and now they can save a life, so what are the conditions.

Today, in order to deter this group of surrenderers, Zhu Hongsan asked Zhao Yin to be the supervisor and beheader, accompanied by others.
