Method unexpected, "Really? Was it Grandpa Guo who saved me? ”

Wang Lanping stepped forward to help him up, "It's not that I saved you, it's that you didn't kill anyone, if you want to kill someone, even if you are Fang Ling's brother, I can't help you, tomorrow I will let someone take you to the Criminal Department, and eliminate your case, you will be free in the future, by the way, if your sister is injured, you can take her away from me at any time, she is free in me, of course, if he wants"

Although the method is happy in his heart, he is still a little lost, he is cleared of charges, but sister, hey, God is unfair, my sister is only eighteen years old.

Even if Fang Ling can survive, Wang Lanping is reluctant to let her leave her, these days lonely men and widows get along day and night, it is not right to say that Fang Ling is all the shadow of Yun Niang, it seems to be mixed with sympathy? Guilt? Emotional sustenance? Wait, the five flavors are mixed, anyway, Fang Ling can't go.

So Wang Lanping said, "What are you going to do when you are free?" Continue to beg for a living on the street with your sister? A girl like a flower is exposed to the wind and sun outside every day, you are a brother's patience? ”

The method was embarrassed and said, "No way, the world is not good, there are wars everywhere, the year before last, Li Zicheng fought in Henan, everything in the house was robbed, the house was burned, our family of four fled to Yangzhou, I wanted to go to relatives, but I didn't expect Tatar to call again, this time with my little sister to Nanjing City"

Wang Lanping said, "I heard your sister say that you have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, what's the use of just complaining about the world?" In troubled times, it was an era of heroes, why didn't you join the army, make contributions on the battlefield, and don't waste your skills"

Of course, it was too difficult to join the army in the Ming Dynasty, and the military household system. Most of the soldiers are hereditary, and if they want to join the army, they can only join the army recruited by the local generals. And those armies have a bad reputation, and they are more hated than bandits.

Methodological way. "I wanted to, but I never had a chance"

Wang Lanping said with a smile, "Okay, I'll give you a chance, how difficult it is for the court to be at the moment, it's the time to employ people, you can serve in our army."

Leaving him is the same as leaving Fang Ling, provided that Fang Ling can survive.

"Dare to ask Grandpa Guo?" The method seems to be very disbelieving, and the person in front of him, who is about his own age, is a general with troops.

"Champion Army"

"The grass people are willing, and they have admired it for a long time. In this life and this life, swear allegiance to the general"

"Okay, get up, you don't have military merits, first be a guard by my side, temporarily incorporated into my personal soldiers, and when I have the opportunity, I will transfer you to the battlefield to experience and experience, earn some military merits, and maybe one day you will be a famous general in history"

But he said that the hundred officials and the lords in the court were three days after they were closed. After three days, the little self-confidence they only had was almost gone, and no one made any trouble, and they were all sad. The beard is unshaven, not to mention how deflated it looks.

The whole city of Nanjing also spread, and there was everything. It is said that this time the matter is getting bigger, and it is all done by those officials who don't do personnel themselves. If it is not good to offend anyone, you must be a lowly soldier. Okay this time.

The death of the big officials, the closure of the pass, the people are relieved to hear it, whether you are a good official or a bad official, your bad luck is something that everyone likes to see, especially when you hear that so many lords are among them.

There are also people who are boldly speculating, is this going to change the dynasty, the Zhu family has been sitting long enough, and the whole world has been tossed miserably by your Zhu family, the Zhu Ming Dynasty is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and one year is not as good as one year.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Wang Lanping finally appeared in the court.

Jin Yiwei also lived up to his expectations, the black case was a full ten bundles, which were all the handles that the ministers and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty had fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei over the years, but due to the decline of Jin Yiwei's power, they couldn't fight them, these bad deeds didn't shake out, and they didn't have the power to shake out the fart.

The emperor did not come to the court today, I heard that he was sick, and a decree came out that he wanted to subconsciously feel Buddha and pray for the soldiers who died in Yangzhou, and the government was temporarily decided by the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the cabinet, was "retired", how can there be any cabinet, that is, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the final say, that is, Wang Lanping has the final say.

When Wang Lanping came to the court, the officials and the lords no longer had the same sense of superiority as before.

Wang Lanping swept the ministers with sharp eyes, and said, "The emperor wants to pray for the deceased soldiers, and the government is temporarily represented by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and today I will discuss one thing, the rule of officials, the rise and fall of the world lies in whether the rule of officials is clear, and the government of the Qing Dynasty can quickly go up and down to benefit the people, if not, the world will be in chaos, the people will not be able to make a living, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be mixed in the court, and bandits and bullies will run rampant in the city. Do you have? ”

Everyone didn't dare to come out, and there were all armor soldiers around.

Wang Lanping pointed at Zhang Mingzhen, "Go, distribute these things to everyone, let them take a good look at what they have done in these places, whether they are contributing to the imperial court or just knowing how to enrich their own pockets and harm the country and benefit themselves."

A group of brocade guards distributed on the spot, almost one for each person, of course, it is impossible for the court to be full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there are so many dozens of valuable ministers.

When everyone saw these things that were sent to them, they all looked like thieves, looking left and right, for fear that the people next to them would see it.

"Do you see it all? This is what you have learned from the Four Books and the Five Classics, did the sage let you kill people and set fires? Did you kill for money? Did you sell your official beard? Be sanctimonious, come and bring Ying Tian's prefect up"

Zhu Zhikui was dragged to the court like a dead fish by two brocade guards, threw it on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Zhu Zhikui, you mixed very well, ten years ago, your family was surrounded by four walls, studying hard in the cold window, Chongzhen eleven years you ranked seventh in the second class of high school, put a household poor, two years later transferred to Xining Zhizhou, three years later transferred to Yingtian Governorate, just six years, your family has 70,000 taels of silver, the house is all over the two capitals, 3,000 acres of fertile land, six wives and concubines, you are only 900 taels a year, you are really a good financial hand. It's a shame to be an official."

Zhu Zhikui really regretted it, why did he offend the brothers and sisters of the Fang family blindly. It's all right, it's all over.

"The Grand Duke. The lower official is guilty, the lower official deserves to die, and the lower official will never dare again"

"It's good to know the guilt, come here, remove Zhu Zhikui from the post of prefect of Tian, all family property will be confiscated, and the family members will be sent to the army as slaves, dragged out, and cut down"

"The Grand Duke. Spare your life, the emperor, the emperor, the minister knows that he is wrong, the minister ......" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Zhikui's head had already rolled down the steps.

Suddenly, there was a death-like silence in the court, and all of them knelt down, and only the dozen or so lords still looked at each other. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.

Wang Lanping pointed to one of them and shouted, "Nanhe Bofang is one yuan, the first year of the Apocalypse." At the same time, you and Zhizhou swallowed 30 acres of Liu's paddy fields, forcing Liu's family of three to jump into the river and die. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, you secretly communicated with the pirates. Smuggled grain 8,000 stones, Chongzhen for five years. Even if you make a slave commit murder on the street and kill a son surnamed Zhao, the government only sentences you to a fine of ten taels of silver, Chongzhen 12 years, you opened an underground money bank, and instructed the evil slave to kill five lives in three years, you say, which one of these is not enough for your whole family to behead, which one of you is worthy of the kindness to the Ming Dynasty, say, is what I said true?"

'Goodong' Nan and Bo Fang were stunned on the spot.

The reason why Wang Lanping took him as a typical example was precisely because this person had a bad reputation and dared to do anything, so he didn't have much popularity, and he didn't have much contact with other lords, the most important thing was that Nanhe was in Hebei, and his power was now controlled by the Manchus.

Wang Lanping continued, "If you are stayed, it will be a scourge, come and pull out the noon gate, and behead you on the street."

There was an uproar in the hall, and now it is not only the ministers who have been killed, but even the lord's life is as thin as paper.

At this moment, the back of the remaining ten or so lords was bubbling cold, and the stack of records of the evil deeds they did in their hands were also trembling slightly.

Many lords have already knelt down, the lord in front of him is really a lord, he doesn't blink his eyelids when he kills people, yes, Rending Guogong climbed out of the battlefield, killed thousands of people, I heard that he killed 15,000 Tatar prisoners in one breath, what kind of scene was that.

Wang Lanping saw everyone's dejected appearance, and his heart was a little settled, and he finally relented, okay.

"The imperial court is in such a crisis, the Quartet has defected, why, it is because of the corpses of you people, who are in a high position but incompetent, how do you say that, yes, you don't while occupying the pit, the words are rough, but this is not wrong, look at the things in your hands, take a good look, which one is not conclusive evidence, I will follow the map, I will clean up the portal for the emperor, and pull it all out and cut it, Song Dali"

Hula outside the hall rushed in a hundred and ten armor soldiers, clad in stubborn and stubborn.

Suddenly, there was a cry and shouting in the court, and one by one they were like mourning.

Wang Lanping saw that it was almost done, he really killed all these people, no one in the major yamen in the capital went to the empty building, and it was not now that he wanted to kill them, and those lords, killing a Nanhe Bofang Yiyuan would already have a grudge with these people, stop it, just reach the meaning.

Wang Lanping hurriedly changed his face and had a gentle attitude, "But who will deal with the killing of this court, and you lords and ancestors have also made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, even if there are some mistakes, I think the court can also be cold, and now the court is full of disasters and difficulties, and some of these things have passed for many years, I can not pursue it, but this does not mean that you are not guilty, if you are guilty, you should be punished, I read that you are all people with status and prestige, and there are also members of the dynasty who are first-class, second-grade, and third-class, and the case is big, and the face of the court is not bright, so I will not forcibly punish it, come on, Collect everything and burn it in public, and forget it."

Everyone was inexplicable, and after a while, the flames rose, and the evidence that recorded everyone's guilt turned into ashes in an instant.

Wang Lanping pointed to the burning pile of paper outside the hall and said, "From now on, I hope everyone will work together to serve the imperial court."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all learned the rules.

The lords are no longer making trouble, Xiucai met the soldiers, and they can't explain it clearly, so they can't bear the calm of things, take a step back and open the sky.

The ministers also wish that this is the case, whoever is in charge of the court is not an official, even if it is a change of dynasty, who can stop it, not to mention that Dingguo Gong has not done anything rebellious, admit it, if you have a knife, you will be the master, and you will do what you say in the future.

At present, in this imperial court, where can I still see a trace of the emperor's prestige, it has completely become a military dictatorship headed by Dingguo Gong and supplemented by the Xiangshan army, and it has become a hall of his Wang Lanping.

Within four days, Wang Lanping killed fifteen ministers, killed one lord, knocked on the mountains and suppressed the tiger, and the entire court submitted to his might.

A few days later, Wang Lanping ordered again that the 32 Donglin Party and Eunuch Party detainees in the Criminal Department were also released, on the grounds that there was no real evidence and the officials were reinstated.

Of course, this is not Wang Lanping's magnanimity, there is a requirement.

Ruan Dacheng, as Ma Shiying's most powerful general, has also become very hard in the past few days, going back and forth among the thirty-two people, telling them what Wang Lanping meant, if you want to be reinstated, you can, but after you come out, you must jointly go to the emperor, suggest to the emperor to restore the post of prime minister, and jointly recommend Wang Lanping as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

With Ruan Dacheng, the clown who jumped the beam, in the middle of the contact, soon, a joint persuasion of thirty-three people flew in front of Zhu Yousong, and immediately scared him sick, the position of prime minister, gathering the power of the world, is it still necessary for the position of emperor to exist? Yes, of course there is, but I'm afraid that in the future, all the basins will have to be deducted from him Zhu Yousong.

As soon as this omission came out, there was an uproar in the whole dynasty, but no one dared to make a sound.

Immediately, Zhu Yousong convened the ministers to discuss the matter, but in the main hall, Wang Lanping was furious, saying that this omission was because those people wanted to ruin the reputation of his governor, and the prime minister had not been set up for more than 200 years, which was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Immediately, Wang Lanping asked Zhu Yousong to issue an order, 'on the grounds of the Ming Emperor's ancestral teaching: those who dare to speak up will be beheaded', and Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu, Huang Daozhou, Lu Zhenfei and other Donglin Party and Eunuch Party will all be executed outside the noon gate.

I think back then, the Donglin Party and the Wanli Emperor have been fighting in the ring for decades, and they have not compromised, and now they have to be obedient, dare not say a word, and copy all over the house, Wang Lanping is not as good-tempered as Wanli, let alone any etiquette.

A few days later, Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the military department, Qian Xiaole, the secretary of the criminal department, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the household department, Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, Sun Zhiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Mingzhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, together with the five governors of the five military governors' offices, once again asked the emperor to decree the restoration of the post of prime minister.

This time, Wang Lanping was reluctant to make it difficult, and the next day, the holy decree was issued.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: The state affairs are difficult, the court is difficult, and the autumn of the survival of this family and country is also ...... I worship the prince of Dingguo, Lanping, as the prime minister, and dominate the government ......"

A few days later, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was abolished and changed to the Prime Minister's Office, which was opened and built, with the Military and Political Department in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, the Finance Department in charge of internal and external taxes, and the Ministry of Officials and the Government in charge of personnel appointments.

The imperial power fell, the six departments of the imperial court were completely hollowed out, and the Zhu Ming Dynasty existed in name only.

As soon as this decree came out, the world shook.

**

Ma Shiying and his son Ma Ming were expelled from the court and returned to their hometown.

Ma Shiying felt that there was no possibility of returning to the court this time, so he looked back at the direction of the capital again and again, reluctantly, complaining from time to time, scolding Wang Lanping and scolding the ministers, and then scolding Zhu Yousong for being incompetent.

Therefore, his son Ma Ming suggested that in this case, he should vote for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and not lose his position.

Ma Shiying said angrily: How can a husband be captured with his body.

Ma Ming said again, Dashun is thriving, if attached, it will not lose its wealth and high position.

Ma Shiying scolded: How dare the dignified Ming Shoufu rebel.

Another day, the eunuch sent by the emperor arrived, saying that he was here to see him off and give him a wine, and Ma Shiying and his son drank it with tears.

That night, the father and son both died, half a month later, raided the house, a total of more than 1.7 million taels of gold and silver, seven mansions, 8,000 hectares of fertile land, about half a year old in the Ming Dynasty.

Later generations commented on Ma Shiying: The gentleman among the villains is also (recorded in the official history, or killed by the Qing rebels, or reclusive, and greedy in the late Ming Dynasty).

Commenting on Ruan Dacheng: The villain among gentlemen. (According to the official history, he was born in a wealthy family, and later descended to the Qing Dynasty and led the Qing army to attack Fujian).

As a result, half of the south of the Yangtze River entered a new era, the era of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
