Zhu Hongsan and his entourage were in Xiaoling, and the hundreds of officials kneeling outside the Zhengyang Gate did not dare to move, and these surrenderers knew their identities and dared to leave a tongue there before the emperor did not have a holy decree. And because Zhu Hongsan was going to Xiaoling to do business, he was in charge of these officials, so he went directly over the city.

These officials knelt in front of the city gate under the leadership of Zhu Guobi and other nobles, originally thinking that the emperor could say a few words to them, but they didn't think that the emperor would pass by them with tens of thousands of people like the wind, and they didn't pay attention to them at all, which made Zhu Guobi and others very depressed.

Kneeling with Zhu Guobi was Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, whose Duke of Wei was passed down from Xu Da's eldest son Xu Jizu, but the contemporary Duke of Wei did not have the courage of his ancestors, and became a Shunmin after the Manchu Qing occupied Nanjing. However, Xu Yunjue has no ability, which is also a good thing, Duoduo saw him as such a waste and demoted him to a commoner, and his family property was basically confiscated.

This time, Xu Yunjue learned that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was back, so it was easy to raise enough five thousand taels of silver to send to Zhu Guobi, preparing for the emperor to come back and continue to be the Duke of Wei.

Now Xu Yunjue saw that the emperor didn't pay attention to them at all and left, so he hurriedly said to Zhu Guobi beside him: "Baoguo Gong, what's going on?" Didn't you say that the emperor took our money? Why not a word? ”

Zhu Guobi hates this Duke of Wei very much, but the title of the family is above him, the Duke of Wei is the duke of Taizu back then, and his ancestor Zhu Guobi was only a marquis who followed Zhu Di Jingnan, and was later named a duke, so he was naturally afraid of Wei Guogong psychologically.

"My grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor must go to Xiaoling to pay homage to the tomb, and there will be news of us in a while!"

The surrounding dozen nobles felt justified when they heard Zhu Guobi say this, they had heard that this Shenwu Emperor's bloodline was not pure, and now they entered Nanjing and didn't rush to the tomb?

Liu Zuochang, the Marquis of Anyuan, on the side, is the descendant of Liu Sheng, the general of Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingjing, who swept the north five times in his life, drove out the Japanese invaders, conquered Annan, Zhenningxia, Pingshan Shandong, and built Beijing, and made great achievements. In recognition of his military exploits, Zhu Di was named Marquis of Anyuan in the eighth year of Yongle, and he was hereditary. But his descendant Liu Zuochang does not have the merits of his ancestors, this generation of An Yuanhou will not fight, only play rabbits, dress up every day, and lead three or five faces to swagger through the market, which was also a scene in Nanjing at that time.

Liu Zuochang pinched his throat, like an old hen who was trampled on his neck, and laughed in a low voice: "Everyone, I heard that our new emperor was originally a lieutenant of Fengguo, and he was illiterate, and I heard that he was poor in Wuchang back then, and he couldn't enter the Guangma family in Zonghu to be a son-in-law, and now all his family business is from the Ma family!" ”

Several nobles around heard Liu Zuochang say this and laughed in a low voice, and at this time, a person on the side asked, "Oh? And what's going on? I don't know who you're listening to? ”

Liu Zuochang thought it was that nobleman, and he didn't look back, and said in a male duck voice: "What are you doing listening, the rumors in Nanjing City!" As soon as he said this, Liu Zuochang felt that the voice of the person was unfamiliar, and when he looked back, he was so scared of the.

It turned out that behind Liu Zuochang stood a tall man, wearing a flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, which was the terrifying factory guard.

This person is Wang Xian, the commander of Jinyiwei, who commanded Qian Lide to be seriously injured by Dongchang and is recuperating in Zhoushan, so Wang Xian became the supreme commander of Jinyiwei. He didn't go to Xiaoling with Zhu Hongsan today, and Zhu Hongsan gave him an important task, that is, to capture these surrendered nobles. It just so happened that he had just come to the city gate with people, and he heard these nobles muttering there, and Wang Xian walked in and heard that he was slandering the emperor, which was okay. However, Wang Xian, as a veteran of Jinyiwei's case, is good at following the vine and touching melons, he originally wanted to lure Liu Zuochang to say a few more names, but he didn't expect Liu Zuochang to be very vigilant, and he found himself when he turned around.

Liu Zuochang and other nobles were not very afraid of these factory guards in the former Ming Dynasty, they were similar to the imperial family, as long as they did not make any mistakes in principle, the emperor generally could not do anything to them. But now it's different, as soon as Liu Zuochang finished laughing at Zhu Hongsan, he was caught by Jinyiwei, which cost him his life.

Wang Xian showed his white teeth and smiled: "This lord, I didn't expect to dare to talk about Your Majesty behind your back, let's go with this official!" ”

Liu Zuochang was so frightened that he couldn't help but pull it in his crotch, it wasn't that he was scared, but he usually walked a lot on the dry road, and the dung door was a little loose.

Wang Xian saw that Liu Zuochang was pulling his pants, covered his nose with his hand, and waved his hand, and two Jinyi guards' horsemen came behind him and put Liu Zuochang down.

Liu Zuochang reacted at this time, and shouted loudly: "Baoguo Gong, Wei Guogong, Dingyuan Marquis, save the little brother!" ”

At this time, the one who dared to speak for him, and all the nobles present were trembling with fright, like chaff.

Wang Xian looked at these nobles, smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official was ordered by the emperor to take you to the Zhenfu Division, Your Majesty said that you should screen the nobles well, and you can't let go of a sinner, but your lords can rest assured, as long as there are no ghosts in your hearts, our Jinyiwei will naturally not wronged a good person!" ”

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he didn't wait for the more than 20 nobles to distinguish it, and ordered the cavalry behind him to start taking people, and for a while there was a cry outside the Zhengyang Gate, and some people who were watching the excitement also looked sideways, and secretly said in their hearts that the killing of these Jinyi guards was back.

However, Wang Xian took these nobles, and there were seventy or eighty civil officials who did not move, and these civil officials saw that the nobles who were flying and domineering in the previous dynasty ended up like this, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, and they came to Wang Duo's side to ask what was going on.

Wang Duo didn't know what was going on, the emperor promised it well yesterday, why did he change it today?

Wang Duo came to Wang Xian's side with courage and asked, "This Lord Jinyiwei, I don't know what the emperor has done to me and other civil officials?" "Wang Duo originally thought that the nobles were unlucky, and those who had contributed to the Manchu Qing Dynasty could still get good? But I didn't expect Wang Xian to say: "This lord, your civil emperor has no will, you can go to the gate of the palace and wait!" After Wang Xian finished speaking, he took those nobles and entered Zhengyangmen and rushed to the Yamen of Jinyiwei Town Fusi on Liubu Street.

When Wang Duo and other civil officials heard Wang Xian say this, they had no choice but to go to the Hongwu Gate in front of the palace city to wait for the emperor to come back.

Zhu Hongsan made a fuss in Xiaoling for a long time, and it was already afternoon when the tomb was completed, and it was almost dark when Zhu Hongsan returned to the city with people. Zhu Hongsan originally wanted to enter the Forbidden City from Dong'anmen in Chaoyang Gate, but because of the chaos in the past few years, the eunuchs who guarded the Forbidden City in Nanjing had long since disappeared, and now only the main gate Hongwu Gate is open in the entire Forbidden City, and Zhu Hongsan has no choice but to go around most of the Forbidden City and come to the main gate Hongwu Gate to prepare to enter the city.

Wang Duo and others waited here in Hongwumen for a long time, and finally waited for the emperor to come. Wang Duoli saw the emperor's army coming from afar, and hurriedly pulled these civil officials forward and knelt down, shouting long live!

Zhu Hongsan had been in a hurry for a long time, and he went to Zhenling at noon, and he couldn't ride a horse in Xiaoling, and he used to walk back and forth for more than ten miles, so he was in a bad mood, but now he saw a bunch of stinky old nine who didn't let him rest and was angry.

"It's that bastard in front, why don't you let Lao Tzu go back to the city to sleep?"

Wang Duo, as a great calligrapher of the Chongzhen Dynasty, was scolded like this, but now there is no way, only to kowtow without a crown and say: "Wang Duo, a criminal minister, long live my emperor!" "The civil officials around me have also been hungry for a day, and they are all weak and shouting long live!

Wang Duo? Who is it? Zhu Hongsan had never heard of this person at all, and asked a few people around him, "Who is this old guy?" ”

Tong Yangjia didn't know him, but Qian Qianyi and Jiang Yueguang knew each other, after all, the three of them were officials in the same dynasty.

Qian Qianyi stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is Wang Duo, a scholar of the East Pavilion University of the Hongguang Dynasty!" ”

Oh! It turned out to be an anti-bone boy. Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "Old Wangtou, what are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”

Wang Duo listened to Zhu Hongsan's vulgarity, but at this time, what kind of dignity was it talking about.

"Your Majesty, in the morning, the ministers and Xungui were waiting for Your Majesty outside Zhengyang Gate, but Jinyiwei suddenly arrested Xungui and asked us to wait for Your Majesty here in Hongwumen, so the ministers are waiting for Your Majesty here!"

Zhu Hongsan only remembered when he heard Wang Duo say this, in the morning he ordered Wang Xian to arrest all the nobles and nobles, and roll all their silver, Wang Xian asked Wenchen to deal with it like this, and he thought that he had promised to let them wait if he was not pursuing the demote, but he didn't expect these guys to be honest enough to wait until dark.

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, and there were a lot of anti-bones under him, not to mention that Qian Qianyi around him was one, and it would damage his reputation (is there still a reputation?) It's better to let them go home first, and let him have a headache when Ma Mingyuan comes.

"Yes, I remembered, old man Wang, don't worry, although I am not a good person, I am not a bad person, as long as you do not help the Manchu Qing Dynasty to do evil, I will naturally give you a background!"

As soon as Zhu Hongsan's words came out, these seventy or eighty civil officials were relieved, most of these people just went with the flow, they personally had no strength to stop the Manchu army back then, and many people resigned and retired after the Manchu Qing entered the city, which was not an aid.

Seeing these officials discussing, Zhu Hongsan continued: "Don't worry, everyone, look at who is next to me!" Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Hongguang Dynasty back then, everyone knows that I was not on good terms with Mr. Qian back then, but I have always cherished talents, no matter how much I bullied me back then, as long as you are really talented, I will also reuse you! ”

Zhu Hongsan's words didn't make Qian Qianyi angry, but you Zhu Hongsan bullied me back then, not only burned the old man's book, but also snatched the old man's beloved daughter, and now he blames the old man.

Qian Qianyi was unhappy, but those ministers didn't know, they all knew that Qian Qianyi was bullying Zhu Hongsan in the court, and the prince's money was not a dime, and he asked Zhu Hongsan to get out of the house quickly, but he didn't expect Qian Qianyi to treat Zhu Hongsan so much, Zhu Hongsan repaid his grievances with virtue, and he was really Mingjun!
