Zheng Xunrui came to the capital for more than a month, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor, which made Qian Qianyi and others breathe a sigh of relief, when Li Zicheng entered the capital, Qian Qianyi couldn't wait to show goodwill, and organized a group of Donglin party people to enter the imperial court, expressed their allegiance to Li Zicheng, I didn't think that in just more than 20 days, Li Zicheng suffered a fiasco, and the Dashun army under his command was exterminated by the Zheng family, and he was also killed by the Zheng family, which made Qian Qianyi and others stunned.

In the following time, Qian Qianyi was panicked, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu and others also visited him from time to time in his mansion, and everyone was concerned about one thing, that is, what kind of bad luck would be encountered, after all, Zheng Xunrui hated the Donglin Party members, and when he was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, he unceremoniously expelled the Donglin Party members, and terminated the Donglin Party people's base in Nanzhili.

Qian Shisheng, Hou Sui, Qu Shiqian and Zhang Pu and others also had a hard time, they refused to submit to Li Zicheng, and chose to be silent, but Zheng Xunrui entered the capital, and ascended the throne in accordance with the edict of the previous emperor and became the emperor, which made their situation as embarrassing, they could have left the capital, but they were exploited by the Dashun army, their situation became very embarrassing, and at the same time, Beizhili and other places did not completely settle down, Zheng Jiajun is still exterminating the remnants of the Dashun army, many places are not very peaceful, in this case, They did not dare to leave the capital easily.

Zheng Xunrui has ascended the throne and become the emperor, and the year name has been changed to Ruiyuan, so the next step is Emperor Ruiyuan.

The tenth day of the fifth month of the first year of Ruiyun.

Qian Shisheng's mansion.

Qian Qianyi, Hou Sui, Qu Shiyun, Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others are all here.

At this time, Qian Shisheng was already at home, and after Nanjing's six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments were relocated to the capital, the original cabinet was automatically dissolved, and as for the officials below the fourth grade, when Yang Tingshu presided over the situation in the capital, they had already begun to screen. Many people continued to do things in the imperial court, and all the officials above the third rank went home.

Yang Tingshu's screening this time was a major blow to the Donglin Party, many Donglin Party members were eliminated, and a small number of Donglin Party members continued to do things in the imperial court. But it was obvious that it alienated the Donglin Party.

How will Zheng Xunrui deal with the Donglin Party, or what is the attitude of the imperial court towards the Donglin Party, this is something that Qian Shisheng and others are concerned about, after all, even if they are not officials in the imperial court, but relying on the Donglin Party, they can still have the right to speak, and the power of the Donglin Party is quite huge, although it has suffered losses in the south, it has developed rapidly in the north.

For the future of the Donglin Party. The crowd finally put aside their old suspicions and gathered together again.

These people are the backbone of the Donglin Party, and they will discuss how the Donglin Party will develop next, what measures to take to develop, how to face the imperial court, and so on.

Qian Shisheng, Hou Sui, Qu Shiyun, Zhang Pu and others are obviously a gang, Qian Qianyi, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others are a gang, and there is already a lot of estrangement and contradiction between the two gangs, and Qian Shisheng and others have a much higher attitude. Because they did not give in to Li Zicheng, it is morally justifiable. And Qian Qianyi and others are gray and lacking confidence.

Qian Shisheng, who presided over the discussion, did not pursue Qian Qianyi and others, and when the discussion just began, he bluntly stated his attitude, that is, the Donglin Party must win the right to speak in the imperial court.

The reason why Qian Shisheng said this. It is because the Ming Dynasty has continued, Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne by the edict of the first emperor, and he is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Then the Donglin Party members must continue to drum and cheer for the development of the government.

Qian Shisheng's attitude has been approved by everyone, after all, the Donglin Party has a lot of influence in the north, many scholars have joined it, although Zheng Xunrui is the emperor, he always needs people to do things, and now the most lacking thing in the imperial court is talent, Zheng Xunrui has been on the throne for ten days, and has not yet announced the cabinet candidates, and the personnel of the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other departments are also very uneven, this is a fact in front of us, and it is not necessary to guess too much to know, Zheng Xunrui's next step must be to enable a large number of readers, Enter the court to do things.

This should be an opportunity for Qian Shisheng and others, although it is unlikely that they will enter the imperial court, but the Donglin Party people will always be able to enter the imperial court to do things.

For some policies promulgated by the imperial court, Qian Shisheng and others were very angry, what officials and gentry paid grain in one piece, what levy commercial and trade taxes, etc., the status of scholars was originally different, scholars were the pillars of the imperial court, and it was natural to enjoy the care of the imperial court, why should they be required to pay taxes, wouldn't this violate the ancestral system.

As for the collection of trade taxes, it is to compete with the people for profit.

After Qian Shisheng expressed his attitude, everyone quieted down, and what he could say was generous, but it was useless, and no one listened to what you said, it was tantamount to saying it in vain.

In this regard, to put it mildly, Qian Qianyi still has the right to speak.

Qian Qianyi's behavior of taking the initiative to defect to Li Zicheng, although it is criticized, but people have entered the imperial court, and they can also say some words, and also help some Donglin Party members also enter the imperial court, or retain their original positions, this should be regarded as a skill, you Qian Shisheng is arrogant, but unfortunately he is idle at home, and he was blackmailed by the Dashun army, and he was imprisoned and stripped of nearly 100,000 taels of silver, so he saved his life.

For more than a month, Qian Qianyi and others, although they were anxious, still paid close attention to the situation, and they found that Zheng Xunrui and Li Zicheng were completely different, and they really calmed the situation in the north, first of all, a large amount of grain was mobilized through Cao Yun, and with food, the situation could be stabilized in the shortest possible time, and secondly, the lower-level officials were stabilized, and those officials who really did things were retained. On the third day after Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne, he issued an order to exempt Beizhili, Henan and Shanxi from agricultural taxes for one year, which allowed the people to really rest.

The most important point is that after such a long period of time, Li Zicheng did not settle accounts with anyone, even if it was the officers and sergeants of the Dashun Army who surrendered, they were scattered and resettled, and they did not start killing.

Yang Tingshu did let many Donglin Party members stay at home, but there was no next move, and he did not carry out further attacks on these people, that is, let these people stop being officials.

The reason for this situation is definitely Zheng Xunrui's meaning, from this point of view, Zheng Xunrui will never carry out a large-scale liquidation, let alone kill.

Just after everyone was silent, Qian Qianyi spoke.

He first explained his judgment of the situation, and then explained the next steps to be taken, which was nothing more than taking the initiative to find Zhou Yanru or Yang Tingshu and others, expressing his attitude, hoping to enter the court to do things.

When Qian Qianyi spoke, everyone was silent, although Qian Shisheng and others couldn't get used to Qian Qianyi, and felt that Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, had done something insulting, but unfortunately under the current situation, everyone couldn't think of other ways, it was difficult for the Donglin Party to resist the imperial court, when Zheng Xunrui was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, the Donglin Party was defeated in the old nest and Nanzhili, needless to say that now people are already emperors.

What we can do at the moment is to be soft and get opportunities by bowing our heads, and as for the future, as long as we win the opportunity, there will always be opportunities to raise our eyebrows in the future.

After Qian Qianyi finished speaking, Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and Qu Shiyun did not speak.

Zhang Pu opened his mouth at this time, and his opening surprised everyone.

"I don't agree with the teacher's suggestion, the reader should have his own backbone, Mr. Gu, who founded the Donglin Party, has encountered countless suppressions from the imperial court, but he has always been iron-clad, and he has not yielded at all, when Wei Zhongxian's old thief covered the sky with one hand, the Donglin Party people were even more indomitable, and countless martyrs went forward one after another, fighting against Wei Zhongxian, not caring about their own lives, disdainful of Wei Zhongxian's coercion and coercion, highlighting the backbone of the Donglin Party, even if the Donglin Party people do not rely on the imperial court, they can also be proud of the world, what is wrong with not being an official, you can do learning, you can comment on the government, you can criticize and suggest the government, you don't believe it anymore, and the court dares to block the mouths of the Donglin party......"

Zhang Pu said very excitedly, but everyone looked at him differently, everyone knew the contradiction between Zhang Pu and Zheng Xunrui, when he was in Qinhuai River, Zheng Xunrui and Zhang Pu and others cut their robes and cut off their righteousness, such grievances are impossible to eliminate, so at this moment, Zhang Pu should have thought of the past, knowing that he could not be reused by the imperial court, and was ready to pull a large number of scholars to confront the imperial court.

This is an act of looking for death, you Zhang Pu can do it alone, there is no need to drag everyone to the funeral.

Zhang Pu may not have imagined that his words directly offended Qian Qianyi, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others, you must know that these people once submitted to Li Zicheng, according to his Zhang Pu's words, these people are all soft bones, and their character is problematic.

Zhang Pu's words also offended Qian Shisheng and others, because Qian Shisheng had already said before, Zheng Xunrui is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this world is the same as in the past, if the Donglin Party is against the imperial court, there is no reason, if it is excessive, it will be ruthlessly suppressed in the future, and there will be no support and sympathy from scholars or scholars.

Zhang Pu couldn't have imagined that his words would bring death to himself, of course, Zheng Xunrui couldn't do it, and people didn't look at him Zhang Pu at all. (To be continued.) )
