Sun Chengzong and Huang Daozhou both stayed in Zheng Xunrui's mansion temporarily, the two already knew that something big might happen, and did not ask to leave, which made Zheng Xunrui very relieved, he was not confident enough to have no scruples, according to the time calculation, Sun Chengzong and Huang Daozhou left Nanjing, it should be after March 15, as for whether the two will express their support afterwards, Zheng Xunrui will definitely not force it, it is too much.

After stabilizing Sun Chengzong and Huang Daozhou, the next thing is the local situation, and the most critical thing is the situation in Nanjing and Yingtianfu, which must be stabilized and cannot have any turmoil.

Donglin Party people in Nanzhili for many years, there is some support behind it, many scholars and businessmen in Nanzhili, are supporting the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party has also become the spokesperson of their interests, the collusion and alliance between the Donglin Party and the businessmen, this is Zheng Xunrui is very clear about things, so this time, it is still necessary to prevent the emergence of turbulent situations.

When Yin Lin Zonghui of Ying Tianfu came to the military department, he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Lin Zonghui is the most trusted official of Yang Cheng, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he also relied on Yang Cheng's support to step by step to the position of Ying Tianfu Yin.

Lin Zonghui supports Zheng Xunrui, that is because the relationship between Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu is very good, they are like brothers, when Yang Cheng Zhishi, he also solemnly introduced his grandson to Lin Zonghui, of course Lin Zonghui understands the meaning.

But now the situation has changed, and the relationship between Zheng Xunrui and the emperor and the court is a little delicate. The practical problem is in front of him, Yang Tingshu chose to go to the capital to serve as the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Court, obviously supporting the emperor and the imperial court, Yang Tingshu had a secret talk with Lin Zonghui before leaving, and the two analyzed the situation of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and believed that it was still necessary to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui was appointed as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. Lin Zonghui did not specifically go to pay respects, this is actually an attitude, of course, Lin Zonghui will not oppose Zheng Xunrui, in the final analysis, it is handled according to the relationship between normal officials.

After Zheng Xunrui became the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, he was also very low-key and did not take any action.

In Lin Zonghui's view, according to Zheng Xunrui's achievements, he should have entered the cabinet a long time ago, although Zheng Xunrui is too young. can be arranged to be the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, which clearly shows the derogatory attitude of the emperor and the imperial court.

The merit is like a curse, I don't know how many talents have been stifled, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has done the most thorough in this regard, the founding heroes are almost killed, compared with those heroes in the early Ming Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui's merits will never be small, and the power he has is greater.

Zheng Xunrui should not be able to escape this curse. This is the unanimous view of Yang Tingshu and Lin Zonghui.

Of course, both of them are scholars from the imperial examination, and there are limitations in understanding. They treat others with themselves, thinking that Zheng Xunrui can only accept his fate in a helpless situation, as for Zheng Xunrui to rebel or be unique, that is not something they can come up with. I won't believe it.

After Lin Zonghui entered the reception room, the door was quickly closed, which made Lin Zonghui even more nervous, not knowing what would happen, the Nanjing Military Department had a certain affiliation with Ying Tianfu. As long as the edict issued by the Ministry of War does not contradict the emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict, it should be executed by Tianfu.

Soon, Zheng Xunrui walked out of it and entered the reception room.

Lin Zonghui hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"The lower official pays a visit to Lord Zheng."

"Lord Lin, this official invited you to come today, there is something very important, you are familiar with the situation in Nanjing and Yingtianfu, and you have rich experience in governing the local government, so this official wants to ask you for some things this time."

Lin Zonghui's nervous heart was pounding, he didn't know what Zheng Xunrui would say.

"The lower officials must do what Master Zheng instructs."

"Don't be in a hurry to express your position, what is going on, you don't know yet, since you are invited to the military department, it is not a trivial matter, maybe you are also uneasy at the moment, I don't know what it is, will it be something that makes you feel in danger."

Lin Zonghui wiped the sweat drops from his forehead and barely squeezed out a smile.

"My lord laughed, my lord will not order his subordinates to do anything wrong."

"That's right, this official has a twist here, you can take a closer look."

Zheng Xunrui took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Lin Zonghui.

When Lin Zonghui took the fold, his hands trembled slightly, and his face was pale.

In the process of Lin Zonghui watching the twists and turns, Zheng Xunrui was pacing slowly in the reception room with his hands behind his back, his expression was very calm, and he didn't know what to think.

After watching the twists and turns, Lin Zonghui let out a long breath, and it could be seen that his expression was much more relaxed.

"Lord Lin, you should know what's going on."

"Xiaguan understands that Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe discuss the government in vain, this is a well-known matter, and this matter of forming a party for personal gain has become a chronic disease, and the adults are determined to rectify it, and Xiaguan feels that there is nothing that cannot be done."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, Lin Zonghui is not a member of the Donglin Party, and he has no good opinion of the Donglin Party, you must know that as Ying Tianfu Yin, not a member of the Donglin Party, many things are not easy to do, if you don't pay attention to it, you may encounter the impeachment and siege of the Donglin Party, for many years, Lin Zonghui has chosen to avoid the matter of meeting the Donglin Party, which also makes the Donglin Party in Ying Tianfu more arrogant, and even openly talks about his Lin Zonghui's ability.

Lin Zonghui is a smart person, he will not analyze the reasons behind this matter, and even if he knows, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But Lin Zonghui also left room for improvement, and did not talk about the threat of the Donglin Party to the imperial power.

"Lord Lin has such an understanding, the official will rest assured, tomorrow the Japanese official will take action, the spring class of Nanjing Donglin Academy, is planning to do something, the official has received clear news, so to take action against Donglin Academy, Fu Society and Ying Society, Donglin Party people in Nanzhili have been immersed for many years, its influence should not be underestimated, once the official takes action, I am afraid that there will be some places of instability, which requires Lin to try his best to maintain a stable situation."

Lin Zonghui nodded and saluted again.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, this official will do his best to maintain the stability of Ying Tianfu."

"Very good, today you will rest in the Yin Hotel, think carefully about how to deal with possible fluctuations, and after going to the government office early tomorrow morning, quickly mobilize all parties to maintain the stability of Nanjing and even Yingtianfu."

"Xia Guan remembered."

At this critical moment, Zheng Xunrui certainly won't ask Lin Zonghui to leave, in case Lin Zonghui leaks the news, then all plans and actions may be ruined, there is no turning back, all the preparations are in place, and there will never be the slightest mistake.

Ma Kuifeng, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, then came to the reception room.

There is a special intersection between Ma Kuifeng and Zheng Xunrui, especially in dealing with the affairs of Xu Fo's family.

After learning of Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, Ma Kuifeng quickly stated that he would definitely stabilize the situation in Shangyuan County, and you must know that Nanjing's Imperial Palace, the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Guozijian and other yamen are all within the territory of Shangyuan County. Maintaining the stability of Shangyuan County is an extremely important matter, and once Shangyuan County can maintain stability, Nanjing will basically be stable.

Ma Kuifeng's attitude is sincere, Zheng Xunrui can see it, in fact, he also asked the Investigation Department to touch the bottom of Ma Kuifeng, it should be said that Ma Kuifeng is capable, he can be a person in Gyeonggi County for so many years, without outstanding ability, basically can't do it, the overall situation in Nanjing has always been stable, and Ma Kuifeng's contribution is not small, but it is a pity that ordinary people will not notice him, the county of six grades.

Absorbing capable officials like Lin Zonghui and Ma Kuifeng is Zheng Xunrui's most important goal, and if there are no capable people under his command and there is a lack of capable officials, it will be difficult to stabilize the locality, and no matter how good the above policies are, they will not be implemented.

Zheng Xunrui encouraged Ma Kuifeng and hoped that Ma Kuifeng would continue to work hard, which made Ma Kuifeng very happy.

After Ma Kuifeng went to the Yin Hotel to rest, Xu Wanghua entered the reception room.

In the eyes of Zheng Xunrui and Xu Wanghua, Suzhou is the hardest-hit area, this is the birthplace of Donglin Academy, and it is also the birthplace of the Fushe and Yingshe, and the 270 people listed by the Investigation Department are more than 130 people in Suzhou, accounting for half of the total number.

"My lord, everything is ready, and the whole operation will start tomorrow, and strive to end before the end of the day, so that it will not cause too many shocks."

"Well, you care a lot about the affairs of Nanjing and Yingtianfu, Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan focus on Suzhou, Liu Zeqing and Zhao Danyu focus on Songjiang, Zheng Kaitao and Ma Zhukui focus on Ningguo Mansion, Su Congjin and Luo Changluo focus on Anqing Mansion, as long as these places are stable, Nanzhili will basically be stabilized."

"My lord, I don't know how Lord Wang Duo and Fang Zhenghua will feel."

"No matter what they think, they can't make big waves, and when the operation is over, even if they want to do something, they won't have a chance, and the next step is to start rectifying the situation in Nanjing."

"Understood, is there anything else that needs to be emphasized?"

"There is nothing else, remember, no one is allowed to be missed, no one is allowed to be killed, in five days, all the people arrested from all over the country were escorted to Nanjing, and then all of them were transported to the capital, don't stay in Nanjing, I don't wait for these uncles, let the emperor and the court have a headache."

After Zheng Xunrui said these words, Xu Wanghua couldn't help laughing, this action was very carefully considered, and it can be described as seamless. (To be continued......)
