This King of Qi seems to be gentle, but his hands are really a little ruthless, and you can't figure out what he's going to do next, and you don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse hidden under that smile.

Earlier, when they heard what Qi Jun had done in Shandong and Jiangnan, many people didn't believe it when they met him, after all, people who saw Wang Zheng would not associate him with his past deeds at first impression.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's investigation of the entire territory of Shandong and many surrounding state capitals, it was not only aimed at the court officials, but also against those merchants and gentry.

No one knows the exact number of people killed and how many mansions were raided at that time, and many people only know that since then, they have never heard of any family that dares to say a word about Wang Zheng's code.

is in his early thirties, not eight feet tall, but his appearance is mediocre, and there is hardly any outstanding place from top to bottom, but on the contrary, this is the world-famous and prestigious Qi Wang Zheng, who can believe it.

"Alright, you guys get up first, stand aside, and don't say more when you shouldn't."

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, the momentum of the audience was light, Shi Min and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, calling Wang Renyi for a thousand years old, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word again.

After a short time, Lin Qiang, the sentry officer of the forbidden army guarding the gate of the palace, walked in, saluted and said:

"King Qi, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the eunuch of the Jingying of the former dynasty, surnamed Cao, and the clothes look like they were picked up by the roadside, are they being thrown out?"

"The surname is Cao..."

Wang Zheng muttered a few words, there are really a few famous eunuchs surnamed Cao in Beijing now, and the commander has been in Beijing, and it seems that at least he is also a celebrity around Chongzhen, who is it, I can't remember it for a while.

"No need, let him in."

There are a lot of guests today, in addition to the former Ming ministers in Beijing, the Chinese and close servants in the palace have also rushed to photograph their new King Qi in the Forbidden City.

Wang Zheng also had no choice, in order to settle down faster, some things and people couldn't see each other, and it was not okay to say anything, so he slowly walked back to the dragon chair and sat down.

This golden chair is actually not comfortable to sit on, because once you sit on it, it means that you have taken on the heaviest responsibility in the world, and if you think about it, it will only end in ruin.

For Wang Zheng, this dragon chair is more of a meaning that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

With a burst of heavy footsteps, a eunuch wearing a tattered python robe walked up to the hall, and when he saw the person sitting on the dragon throne, he was in his heart, and he was prostrate and shouted from afar:

"Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the slave and maid commander of the Jingying, pays homage to the king of Qi Chitose!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately frowned, it turned out to be him.

Cao Huachun was the first eunuch in history to welcome Li Zicheng into Beijing, and Wang Zheng didn't know anything else, and he didn't know much about it, but judging from this matter, he was really disgusted with this Cao Huachun.

However, Wang Zheng also knew that the destruction of Beijing was inevitable, and even if Cao Huachun did not open the door and surrendered, there would still be Li Huachun and Liu Huachun to complete this task.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's impulse to push this eunuch out directly to ask for a beheading weakened a lot, and he just let out a faint "oh" and said:

"It turned out to be Grandpa Cao, you didn't go back to your hometown to retire, why did you come back?"

Cao Huachun took a few steps forward tremblingly, looking at the hatred on the familiar faces around him, and his heart actually despised them even more.

He couldn't say what he was suffering, but he bent down and said:

"Back to the King of Qi, the slave maid heard that the King of Qi recovered the Jingshi, and he couldn't sleep with joy, and the starry night came, just to see the honor of the prince, and when he saw it, he knew what it meant to be shocking and crying ghosts."

When many officials heard this, they immediately wanted to scold angrily, and said in their hearts, the first dead eunuch who surrendered to the thief, was quite good at finding time to invite merit and reward for pat on the back, but as soon as the words came to their mouths, they swallowed them back into their stomachs.

Wang Zheng's words just now were still around his ears like mosquitoes and flies, and it didn't look like he was deliberately scaring people at all.

Many of the high-ranking officials present had relatives in Shandong and Nanjing, and they had already heard about the policies and many things there before they came, and combined with what they saw and felt today, they were even more respectful and afraid of Wang Zheng.

The population over there is very strict, and there is not much news revealed, but one thing is certain, if you are honest and do things below, it will be fine, but if you use the method of dealing with Chongzhen to fool His Royal Highness the King of Qi, then none of them will get a good end.

Wang Zheng is not easy to fool, this is a fact.

For so many years, he seems to know everything and knows everything, once he touches the bottom line, he will kill if he says kill if he finds a fault, and he will kill without mercy.

Just a few months ago, the major event that affected the entire Jiangnan was not single-handedly caused by this King of Qi.

Originally, Donglin controlled the general trend of public opinion, and the people in Jiangnan had the impression in their bones that the Qi army was a thief, and this kind of thing naturally had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

At that time, the Qi army had not completely occupied Jiangnan, and when they seized an opportunity, they immediately took chicken feathers as arrows, and almost wiped out the scholars in Donglin.

Until now, many people don't understand where the conclusive and truthful evidence in the hands of the soldiers of the Qi army, who arrested people everywhere at that time, came from.

If you think about it deeply, it can't... Could it be that King Qi has an intelligence agency like Jinyiwei?

Mo said that those scholars who had regained the society, even Qian Qianyi, who had a lot of prestige and fame in Shilin, were raided and destroyed, and Liu Fu, the eunuch who guarded the town in Nanzhili, was the first to die, not to mention the rest of the officials.

Even, Wang Zheng also controlled the Jiangnan Gongyuan in Nanjing City, which is the cradle of the world's scholars, and there are not many people and talents, and at the moment even what to teach and what to test is decided by the Qi army.

As a result, Jiangnan's opposition to the Qi army became smaller and smaller, until now it was completely gone, and the streets were full of praise and praise.

Many people will say that Wang Zheng is doing this, where will anyone give him his life.

The people who said these words couldn't see clearly, no matter how they did it, Wang Zhengna kept a few hands, for example, if he dealt with Donglin officials with great fanfare, he would open up his net to other parties, and when he dealt with other parties, he would temporarily let go of Donglin scholars.

Trick after trick in the open and in secret, until now, those scholars who were originally arrogant and arrogant no longer dare to let out a fart, for fear of being affected themselves.

There is a shortage of people in the world, but there is no shortage of scholars who want to be officials.

Even if so many Donglin scholars were killed, as long as Wang Zheng gave an order, there would be no shortage of scholars who came to sign up for the Qi army and became famous, and even many people wanted to come in if they broke their heads.

These important ministers understand this truth, so they won't say much, as long as they can ask for an original position, it will already be a very good ending, as for the future, who cares about him.

Wang Zheng smiled, opened his mouth and said:

"Gonggong Cao's mouth is still so sweet, otherwise, you are still the commander of Jingying, how about it?"

"No, no, no..."

When Cao Huachun heard this, he was shocked and frightened, waved his hand again and again, knelt on the ground and said:

"Lord, the slave knows that she is guilty, and she is only here to ask for one thing, if the prince agrees, she will immediately return to her hometown and will not return to Beijing again."

Cao Huachun's reaction was unexpected by Wang Zheng, and he immediately became interested, and motioned him to continue with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, Emperor Zhuang Lie has suffered all these years, even his clothes have patches, and the queen personally cooks the meal, sewing and mending... But after the Li thief entered Beijing, he only spent 35028 coins of silver to be buried, where is this an emperor's mausoleum... No matter how Emperor Zhuang Lie is, it is also the emperor of our Ming Dynasty..."

Speaking of this, Cao Huachun kowtowed earnestly and said:

"The slave maid begs the King of Qi to renovate the mausoleums of Emperor Zhuang Lie and Empress Zhou, there is nothing else to ask for!"
