Chapter 579: Gotta Go Wait Earlier

On the tenth day of September in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Zheng finally saw the majestic Forbidden City.

Since the beginning of the fourth year of Yongle, this Ming Imperial City has experienced more than 200 years of time, and it is still standing after several wars.

The majesty in the impression is mixed with more vicissitudes and historical precipitation.

After the Qi army entered the city, they took over the city defense of the outer city and the inner city as soon as possible, and the forbidden army was in charge of the Forbidden Imperial City, and quickly garrisoned the Yamen of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and sent soldiers to Zhang Bang to calm the people and patrol the streets.

The civil and military generals did not have the disorder when Dashun entered the city, and they all followed Wang Zheng in an orderly manner, followed by countless hundreds of soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion of the forbidden army wearing crimson armor.

The group passed through the Chengtian Gate and came to the Dashun Gate, Wang Zheng habitually looked at the three words above his head, and immediately waved his hand:

"Dashun is already in the past, change this gate to Daqi Gate."

"Didn't you hear His Royal Highness King Qi's words, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take off this damn brand and change it!"

Although these words were indifferent, the group of eunuchs and ministers who followed behind were all in a hurry, and as soon as Wang Zheng's voice fell, a minister who looked like a literati spoke loudly.

Wang Zheng glanced back, but the person who spoke just now was just a small six-rank military department, and he might not be qualified to speak in the court meeting of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

As if feeling a little surprised, Wang Zheng asked casually:

"What about the elders and the people of the various ministries?"

Hearing this, Guang Shiheng was stunned at first, and after reacting, he cried loudly, tears fell, gnashed his teeth and cried out in pain, and those who didn't know thought that the whole family had died.

"King Qi! Wei Ge Lao was killed in prison by thieves with ten fingers cut off, and Ni Butang threw himself into the water and died in prison... But now that the army of my court is here, you must avenge them! ”

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many officials who were good at performing and being good at opposing and were suddenly promoted and became high-ranking officials.

This is not over, he went on to say that the great country of the ancestors was stolen by the thieves, and these ministers were like ants attached to Li Zicheng, and it was difficult to shake Mount Tai by their independence, and while crying, he said that who is a sinner through the ages, and wants the king to fight to kill this and that.

Guang Shiheng's move immediately stood out among the ministers, and he also understood that at this time, what Wang Zheng cared about was not the level of the original official position, but whether he could impress him.

Wang Zheng looked at him in a daze, but suddenly smiled and asked:

"Lord Guang is really brave and loyal, loyal to the king and the country! Why didn't he die when the thieves entered Beijing, and he wasn't affected by the torture, it seems that he donated a lot of silver, right? ”

Hearing this, the officials of the surrounding Yuanjing Division were all shocked, and subconsciously lowered their heads, and many people were secretly happy in their hearts, seeing how you, Guang Shiheng, went down.

When Guang Shiheng heard the first half of the sentence, he already had a prevarication and modesty in his chest, and he was full of confidence, but the more he listened, the more wrong he became, and in the end, he didn't even dare to look at Wang Zheng's eyes.

These are already tacit facts, few of those who can survive the torture of the Dashun thieves are innocent, as for the so-called honesty and integrity, it is now a rare thing.

Wang Zheng, like Li Zicheng, had never been to Beijing before, Guang Shiheng didn't expect Wang Zheng's attitude to be like this, he couldn't answer, and sweat was like rain.

Although the official positions of all the people present are large and small, the highest has six squires, and the lowest is only a non-mainstream Lang Yan of the Six Departments, but they have one thing in common, that is, when the Dashun army was tortured, they all used their solid family wealth to save their lives.

Guangshi Heng fell to his knees with a pop, and the mountain shouted:

"The ministers are alone, they are all waiting for the king of Qi to come, and now they are serving the king of Qi, it should be an honor! As for the torture of the thief, it is really honest and honest, and the thief is moved! ”

Looking at the way this yawning looked, Wang Zheng laughed, Guang Shiheng didn't know why, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that Wang Zheng had listened to Fang Cai's nonsense.

"Well, Lord Guang is honest and honest, Shilin is obvious to all, so let's stay in the military department for the time being."

After that, Wang Zheng walked into the Wuying Hall with a series of civilian and military generals of the Qi army, leaving behind a sluggish Guang Shiheng and envious ministers of the original court, this result was really unexpected.

"Congratulations to Hikari-sama, congratulations to Hikari-sama!"

Guang Shiheng was ecstatic in his heart, it seems that the sky really favors him, Li Zicheng appointed himself to stay in office, Wang Zheng is still appointed to stay in office, it seems that he will definitely be able to prosper with this pair of clever tongues in the future!

Guang Shiheng had been lying on the ground and waiting for Wang Zheng to walk into the Wuying Hall before he dared to get up, he wiped his sweat, looked at Li Mingrui who had just spoken, and laughed:

"It's still easy for the people of our court to talk, and looking at these heroic officers and soldiers, compared with the Dashun thieves, how can they talk to each other?"

"Everyone, why don't you hurry up and enter the palace to get an official position?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and it was rumored that Wang Zheng treated the original court officials and gentry very favorably in Nanjing, and there were still people who didn't believe it, but now it seems to be the truth.

was about to enter the hall, but at this time, out of breath, a literati wearing a blue wrinkled official robe ran from behind, and he was waving from afar.

"Come back quickly, it's King Lu who is in charge of the country today, what are you going to do with that king?"

Listening to Zhang Guowei's words, the surrounding officials all looked back with ghost-looking eyes, and there were many discussions, Guang Shiheng even stepped forward and touched his forehead, and only after being knocked off did he smile awkwardly and arch his hand:

"It turned out to be Zhang Butang, are you really stupid or pretending to be confused?"

This is very straightforward, now at this time, everyone has stopped pretending to be those garlic, and what to say is basically straightforward, after all, they are grasshoppers on a rope.

Zhang Guowei was confused, and said in the direction of Nanjing:

"Is what the Ministry Hall said wrong, now it is King Lu who is in charge of the country, and the King of Qi is highly meritorious, even if the Beijing Division is recovered, it should be King Lu who will succeed to the throne, where is the turn of His Royal Highness the King of Qi?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, looked at the Qi soldiers who were constantly passing by, and hurriedly stepped forward to block Zhang Guowei's mouth, pulled him to the side, and someone whispered:

"Zhang Butang, don't say it anymore, now where is the past, King Lu is just a puppet, and the one who should really succeed to the throne and change the Yuan can only be King Qi!"

"Yes, don't you understand, Ming and Ming are all prosperous, that's a fact that can't be changed."

"It's... You are a great rebel! ”

Zhang Guowei's eyes widened, and he didn't even think about it.

Hearing this, the military department rolled his eyes at Shi Min in the matter, squinted and said:

"Zhang Butang, don't pretend, when Li Chuang tortured the salary, you took out a few thousand taels of silver, saying that you are honest and honest, and everyone knows how big the oil and water of the military department is."

"These things are useless now, so don't install them anymore."

After Shi Min finished speaking, he hurriedly trotted to Wuying Palace, and the other ministers also made sarcastic remarks about Zhang Guowei, and everyone didn't think that Zhang Guowei only had so much property, and he really belonged to Wei Zaode's type who wanted money and face but didn't want to die.

However, this Zhang Guowei is much luckier than Wei Zaode, I don't know who said to Li Zicheng, and was finally released with a reputation of honesty and integrity, and the money was saved, and he kept his name, which is really envious of others.

Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Yu flicked his sleeves and left, leaving a sentence before leaving.

"Everyone is busy going to His Royal Highness King Qi to ask for an official position, you have that reputation for honesty, so you are naturally not afraid of anything, but we are not, don't delay the time of your colleagues, okay?"

"Yes, this King of Qi is no better than Li Thief, so he has to wait earlier!"
