Chapter 49: A rake
Because Hou Fangyu deliberately wanted to pull Li Xiangjun into the water, it was Qian Qianyi who instructed Li Xiangjun to use beauty tricks to let him participate in the murder of Emperor Zhu Youzhen.
Li Xiangjun ran out from behind the screen, looking at Hou Fangyu with a pair of teary eyes and grievances:
"Childe, why are you framing the slave family so much!"
Hou Fangyu didn't answer Li Xiangjun, nor did he look back at Li Xiangjun, still smiling shyly, looking at Zhu Youzhen.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen was also afraid that Hou Fangyu would change his mind again, so he refused to confess, so he ordered He Xin to drag Li Xiangjun back.
And Zhu Youzhen continued to ask Hou Fangyu here: "Since it was Qian Qianyi who asked Li Xiangjun to lure you to participate in the murder of me, then who revealed my southern tour itinerary to you?" ”
"It's Gong Dingyu in the military department!"
Hou Fangyu immediately answered Zhu Youzhen's questioning.
"Tell me in detail, how did you get in touch with Gong Dingyu, and how did you plan it?"
Although Zhu Youzhen restricted the private travel of the officials who withdrew from the south, he did not monitor them all the time, so when he heard that Gong Dingyu, who was from the military department, had betrayed his whereabouts, he was not very angry, but he was curious that this Gong Dingyu could still have such courage.
Zhu Youzhen thought that although the low-ranking officials who surrendered to the thieves and the Manchus in the original history had no integrity, they could understand their behavior.
After all, not everyone is an idealist, as a low-level official, he did not bear the heavy responsibility of the world's society and national atmosphere, and since he is the emperor, there is no need to kill all of them after the crossing.
Therefore, although Zhu Youzhen killed many Shoufu monks for his imperial power, he did not really kill all officials according to the results of the original history.
After all, in today's world, whether many officials will surrender to the Manchus or not is just an unknown sin.
Zhu Youzhen can't execute people for no reason because of this.
But now Zhu Youzhen feels that he may be wrong, although some people have not surrendered to the thieves or the Manchu Qing now, it does not mean that they are really still loyal to themselves, from a certain point of view, they are already scum in essence.
Therefore, after hearing that Gong Dingyu, the person who first defected to the thieves and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the original history, turned out to be an official who betrayed his whereabouts.
What Zhu Youzhen thought of was that after arriving in Nanjing, he would never be soft, and would rather clarify the world with iron and blood, rather than tolerate the rotten insects rotting the world!
"Gong Dingyu and Wu Weiye and Qian Qianyi are both Jiang Zuo's three families, Gong Dingyu and Qian Qianyi are close friends, Gong Dingyu's concubine Gu Hengbo also has a deep relationship with Qian Qianyi's concubine Liu Ru, Qian Qianyi also learned from Gu Hengbo that Gong Dingyu went south with His Majesty, and asked Xiaosheng and Dong Zuyuan and Wu Weiye to find a way to contact Gong Dingyu together, we bought a guerrilla and contacted Gong Dingyu, and he passed on your whereabouts to us, Your Majesty."
After Hou Fangyu finished speaking, he kowtowed directly to Zhu Youzhen: "Xiaosheng was dumbfounded for a while, and he was mistaken by beauty, so he almost did something unfaithful, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive Xiaosheng!" ”
Although Zhu Youzhen could hear that this Hou Fangyu was deliberately exculpating himself, he also judged that what Hou Fangyu said should be roughly the same.
However, for Hou Fangyu's plea for mercy, Zhu Youzhen did not agree to him, but ordered someone to drag Hou Fangyu down.
"Light up!"
Zhu Youzhen sat back.
Now that the whole incident is in full swing, Zhu Youzhen is basically clear, and his mood cannot be said to be angry or happy.
It should be angry because Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party officials have bad intentions, but they are glad that they have been cautious and escaped the disaster in advance.
Anyway, he couldn't say how to deal with the next situation now.
Nanjing City, which is only one day's journey away, may not be the fragrant Qinhuai Fengyue for him, but the bloody battlefield.
The officers and men lit the lamps.
Li Xiangjun's warm boudoir was out of place, with a trace of blood, a broken arm, and a bloody knife, as well as a trace of tears, and a faint smell of urine, and I don't know who was scared out of bounds.
Zhu Youzhen walked to the window, the fire of the imperial boat on the river was still not gone, and the shouts of countless officers and soldiers were still rising and falling.
However, because Zhu Youzhen had already ordered He Xin to ambush heavy troops on both sides of the strait, no one wanted to take the opportunity to escape, especially the civil and military officials who accompanied him.
Perhaps, at this moment, many officials thought that their emperor had been buried in the fire or fell into the water.
It's just that I don't know how many officials miscalculated this night.
Come to think of it.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sneer.
He Xin walked up at this time: "Your Majesty, these three people have been controlled, what to do next, please Your Majesty!" ”
"Immediately arrest Gong Dingyu and send troops to Dong Qichang's mansion in Shaoxing; Also, immediately tell the hundred officials that I am fine, and I am stationed in Dantu, and at the same time order to rush to Nanjing immediately tomorrow morning, and send troops to surround Nanjing City first, it is not my will, and all officials and gentry with meritorious names are not allowed to leave the city! ”
After Zhu Youzhen gave the order, he ordered someone to clean up Li Xiangjun's boudoir.
At the same time, Zhu Youzhen walked in front of Li Xiangjun: "I heard Hou Fangyu just said that the girl was also involved in this matter?" ”
Li Xiangjun sobbed as if he was crying, his eyes were swollen like peach pits: "The clear ones are self-purifying, the turbid ones are turbid, although the slave family does not study, but they also understand the outline of the heaven and earth monarch's own teacher, but I never thought that I would meet such a thin luck man in this life, and now the slave family can only prove their innocence by death!" ”
As he spoke, Li Xiangjun slammed directly into a pillar.
"Stop her!"
Zhu Youzhen shouted.
A soldier hurriedly hugged Li Xiangjun with his hand.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but take a long breath and walked up to Li Xiangjun: "Since you have been confessed to being involved in this case, how to try you and how to execute you is naturally up to me, if you dare to talk about life and death casually, I guarantee that she will die a miserable death!" ”
Zhu Youzhen stuck the neck of Li Xiangjun's personal maid as he spoke: "Sister! ”
"Please let go of Her Majesty, the slave family will obey the order", Li Xiangjun said this, Zhu Youzhen smiled and came over to touch her fair face: "This is good." ”
But Li Xiangjun dodged, and Zhu Youzhen withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, and it was not difficult for a strong man.
"Well, it's too late tonight, I have to get up early tomorrow to hurry, and today has bothered the girl all night, so how about asking the girl to clean up the room and let me rest?"
As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Li Xiangjun held back his tears and bowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Obey the order." ”
Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor, naturally slept with Empress Zhou on Li Xiangjun's big brocade bed.
And Yuan Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan slept together in the blue yarn cupboard behind the corridor upstairs.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to sleep, and they needed to take shifts to protect Zhu Youzhen's safety.
Li Xiangjun huddled in his maid's room, but he didn't sleep and watched the night all night.
