Chapter 114: Nanjing (2)

The person who came was indeed the prince's leading team, according to the ritual, they were all wearing light yellow round-necked robes, wearing cyan gauze hats, and waving the guide flag used by the prince to travel.

First there were four people, and then down there were four people and a team of honor guards coming one after another, and for a while everyone was stupid, and between the sky, there seemed to be nothing else except for the endless banners!

When they got closer, they heard the sound of horses' hooves clattering in unison, and the riders approached as they approached, but did not stop when they got closer, but slowed down a little further.

After waiting for the banner of more than 100 to pass slowly, I saw another team of four knights coming, all of them were iron armor and bronze helmets, with a red cloak behind them, and the breeze was blowing, just like a moving silver and red brocade snake, which was indescribably murderous and majestic.

When the previous guide rode over, the people around him had been shocked, few people dared to twist and move, and no one dared to laugh and laugh at will. After these knights slowly came over, all the officials straightened up and began to gather on both sides of the road, their faces were also serious and respectful, and there was no longer the relaxed and idle atmosphere and appearance of Shicai!

"It seems that the prince is a bit arrogant to do this?"

Shi Kefa's side, naturally are important members of the cabinet, now the regime is still in the beginning, what does the emperor mean, how to restore the operation of the center of Nanjing, all of this is not yet a foregone conclusion, but Shi Kefa is loyal to the country, Chongzhen to Nanjing is to praise in person, and now the city is temporarily maintained Shi Kefa, the entire Nanzhili and Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, and even Yungui, of course, as well as Ma Shiying and others who are close to Jifu, and the national politics, especially the military arrangement, are mainly carried out by Shi Kefa.

It can be said that if the emperor reappoints the first assistant to the cabinet in the near future, Shi Kefa will definitely be the first choice.

With the army into the cabinet as the first auxiliary, it is rare in the Ming Dynasty, the political power in hand, the military power in hand, many things can be let go, after this understanding, a large number of Donglin party members gathered around him, the old friendship of the world, it is not surprising.

The one who spoke loudly was Zhan Shi Jiang Yueguang, who failed to support the establishment, he was very unhappy in his heart, and wanted to hang up the crown several times to sue for illness, and later Chongzhen returned to Nanjing, Jiang Yueguang calmly reinstated, but I don't know why, the interest in doing things is not very strong, and every day is lazy and lazy.

This time the prince returned to the south, but this person suddenly became active, this time the prince saw the crown prince's guard of honor coming, and he sneered: "My emperor is going south, and the light boat is simple, why is the crown prince so flamboyant?" ”

When he said this, everyone was not easy to answer, Shi Kefa frowned, and just wanted to say something, Qian Qianyi on the side smiled and waved his hand, and replied: "Duke Yan, the prince's honor guards are all courteous, and they have not violated the rules!" ”

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Yueguang's expression was very cold, he glared at Qian Qianyi, and then turned his head and ignored him.

After Qian Qianyi drove in Longjiang Pass, Shi Kefa turned his circle and spoke to him in the recital, and did a good job, Chongzhen didn't want to do anything more at this time, and continued to stimulate the Donglin party leader, but Qian Qianyi's poetry is very good, he has a deep and wide network in Donglin and Fushe, and his reputation is not bad, and he has always been honest after cutting his membership, and Chongzhen's bad feelings towards him are gradually disappearing.

But he was only re-appointed and gave him a Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites to do it first, even so, Qian Qianyi was also a gauze hat with a round collar and jade soap boots, and he was very proud.

At this time, he, the official of the Ministry of Rites, spoke, and Jiang Yueguang was of course inconvenient to say anything, so he just sneered.

"Idiot!"

Qian Qianyi smiled on his face, and he didn't see anything, but he was very contemptuous of Jiang Yueguang in his heart, this person was mixed with Liu Zongzhou's old man, and he was bent on stirring up trouble, at least taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him to limit the emperor's power...... Isn't this a fool's dream, a fool in the throat of charcoal?

Is it easy to cede power? During the Longqing period of that year, there were scholars who persuaded the emperor to go home to raise children, but when is it now...... Now at this time, it is really confusing and confused!

It's just a thought about it, Nanjing is not like Yanjing after all, the power of scholars is deep-rooted, and after all, the emperor has lost more than half of the country, and he has lost the hearts of the people.

At least, the center occupies it, and the area south of the Yangtze River is all the world of Donglin Restoration Society, even if Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, the top ten local officials are related to Donglin, not Donglin or Restoration Society, where is the opportunity to be an official?

I heard that the emperor intends to accept the order of the Ministry of Rites is Wang Duo...... Whether it is qualifications or popularity, what point can Wang Duo compare with him?

It's not that Wang Duo is the crown prince's person!

I have already reached the sixtieth year, and if I don't plan well, will I still end up as a waiter? Could it be that someone can't be the prime minister?

When I think about it, my mind is alive again...... It seems that Liu Zongzhou, Jiang Yueguang, Zhang Shenxing and others plan to start with the crown prince, and it will not be possible to openly get along with the emperor, but impeaching the prince and making some trouble for the prince everywhere is a feasible move.................. Of course, Shi Kefa's side was very lively, but not far away, there was also a small group of people gathered together, and their eyes moved with more and more armor soldiers.

"The flag is like a cloud, and the armor is like rain...... "Zuodu Yushi, Li Banghua, who has recently been specially added to the title of young master and prince Taibao, has a hair like silver, standing in front of the officials, it is also very conspicuous and dazzling. This old qualification is the thirty-second year of Wanli's Jinshi, and there are all the officials present, I am afraid that there are few people who are earlier than him in the name of the department. As an official in the Ming Dynasty, the position is equivalent to look at the order of the science field, with Li Banghua's own position, plus the seniors of the science field, in the city of Nanjing, there are indeed few people who can fight with him face to face.

At this time, the old man was in a very good mood, seeing countless cavalry galloping in front of him, although the dust was very heavy, the old man still twisted the beard on his chin, and said very happily: "Sure enough, His Highness is extraordinary, ah, isn't it?" It's only been a few days, and I've already brought so many strong soldiers out! ”

"This should be Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses!" After Wang Jiayan arrived in Nanjing, he was still a waiter in the military department, so Chongzhen summoned him to apologize, and it was inconvenient to give him the rank of official again...... After all, he escaped from Yanjing, and if he tried his best to add medals to the officials, there would naturally be officials who would speak, and it would be boring to make trouble in vain.

"That young man's crow's temper, Qing also knows...... I can only wait. Chongzhen was quite helpless at the time, and he could only be appeased like this.

Wang Jiayan himself doesn't care, when he was in Beijing, it was pitch black, there was no hope for anything, and any move was a death struggle and meaningless.

At this time, although it is only a partial situation, but Li Zicheng's foundation is unstable, and the problem of seeking too much merit has also been exposed, and now he has played the emperor, please use Sun Chuanting to pass through Shandong, and he is willing to go to Huguang, defend Sichuan at the same time, and pass through Henan, at least, not the current situation of not dying and not living.

Whether it will be made or not, it is still between the two, among the people who greeted the prince's ceremonial drive, Wang Jiayan's mood was very happy, and he was very expert, after looking at it for a while, he said: "Strange, His Royal Highness's internal military attache did not break up and divide it...... In this way, this army is still the same as the generals of the past......"

There were some things he didn't say, after all, it was not so reasonable to use a human king to seize the army of courtiers. Even if Liu Zeqing is very damned, but after all, it is the foreign aid force of the Donglin Party, and now in the city of Nanjing, there are many people who are critical and even very dissatisfied with this, and even some Leng Touqing openly expressed their dissatisfaction in Fang City...... At such a great price, this army was not completely captured...... It's not worth it.

Although Wang Jiayan didn't finish speaking, all the people present were people who were interested in the East Palace, and everyone was a little worried at the moment.

Only Wang Duo smiled reservedly, as if he was talking to everyone, and seemed to be talking to himself: "In a short period of time, His Royal Highness has entered the city with such a ritual, such a strong army, and the disgraceful matter of the Son of Heaven and his son fleeing south with the dust seems to have disappeared all at once. This method is indeed wonderful. Although there are some taboos, as long as you make it clear, is there anything the emperor is not happy about? ”

"Sure enough!"

"Hmm!" Li Banghua nodded slightly and said with a smile: "That's right." ”

At this time, everyone seemed to understand a little again.

Bringing such a strong army into the city, of course, is quite taboo, with the suspicious and fickle surname of the emperor today, if he changes before, he will definitely be unlucky.

But now it's different, the two of them fled to Nanjing in embarrassment with thousands of people, and there were no 2,000 soldiers around the emperor. In this way, it is very difficult to say what the courtiers, gentry, Confucian students, and ordinary people think, and whether anyone will have any strange thoughts.

This time the prince entered the city, making such a big movement, now more than a thousand soldiers and horses have passed, and they still haven't looked at the shadow of the prince, all the officials are looking forward to it, and their eyes are staring straight.

Just looking around at random, the people of Nanjing, who originally looked indifferent, also showed a little fear at this time, and the idle men were even more trembling, and they didn't dare to move at all.

Zhao Zhilong, the Xincheng Bo of the Inner Garrison Mansion, personally maintained it, and his voice was hoarse, but who of those people didn't touch the bottom of the Nanjing Jing Battalion? Carrying a wooden pole and a red tasseled iron spear to bluff people?

Grandmother!

But as soon as the murderous cavalry of the brigade arrived, the atmosphere immediately changed, it was originally a bustling temple fair, but now everyone has different expressions on their faces, some are frightened, some are angry, some are afraid, but the kind of hippie smiling face, not taking this matter as a serious errand, is no longer to look at.

With such a touch, everyone looked at Wang Duo differently, this person is worthy of being a close minister next to the prince, and he has always thought that he is just a poetic courtier, but now it seems that he can't be completely underestimated.
