Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Dongchang Central Investigation and Statistics Bureau, looked at Li Tianjing, Lu Renchang and the others with a sneer, but after hearing Lu Renchang, Xu Erlu and others say that they would emulate the old Wuzong and Xizong dynasties, his face became solemn.

"Commander, what is the old matter of the Wuzong Xi Dynasty", Qianhu Ling Run, who followed behind Ma Jixiang, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Ma Jixiang clenched the knife in his hand: "Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Xizong both fell into the water and died violently when they were young, and it is rumored that they were framed by civil officials in collusion with their ministers, Liu Jin was in power in the inner court of Wuzong Dynasty, and the civil officials of the outer dynasty were suppressed, and Liu Jin implemented a new policy; Wei Zhongxian, the inner court of the Xizong Dynasty, was in power, and the eunuch party suppressed the Donglin party; Now His Majesty takes the Jiangxi Party and the Zhejiang Party as the backbone, and sets up the Generalissimo's Mansion to seize the civilian and military power, and Ma Shiying, the former minister of the Eunuch Party, is in charge of the military department, and opens a new policy; What do you think they're trying to do? ”

Ling Run's expression also became solemn: "They want to rebel!" ”

"I don't dare to rebel, but I just want to use some indiscriminate means to do something rebellious, in this era, as long as you are willing to do something for the people, whether it is an official or the emperor, which one does not delay the risk!"

As Ma Jixiang spoke, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Kun, who was beheaded in the Jiajing Dynasty for his meritorious service in exterminating pirates, but for violating the interests of the coastal gentry.

"Record what they said in the book and present it to the Imperial Palace", Ma Jixiang commanded, and after Ling Run finished recording it, he shouted in a low voice: "Do it!" ”

In a moment, more than thirty military attachés and lieutenants from the Dongchang Survey and Statistics Bureau dressed in dark arrow sleeve night suits rushed in.

The window clicked, and was directly smashed by Ma Jixiang, and Ma Jixiang stood directly in front of Li Tianjing, Lu Renchang and others.

Xu Erlu was shocked when he saw this, but when he thought of his extraordinary family background, he had been protected by the emperor and the ministers of the court since the Jiajing Dynasty, and he was the first family in Songjiang Mansion, and now even if Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen moved south, he also gave him the official title of Guanglu Temple, so Xu Erlu had some confidence: "What are you doing here, the old man is Xu Erlu, the grandson of Xu Ge, you are too bold!" ”

Bang!

As soon as Xu Erlu finished speaking, Ma Jixiang's knife had already sunk into his chest, and he pressed Lu Renchang on the table with his backhand.

Xu Erlu looked at all this incredulously, he didn't expect these people to kill him directly, he seemed to have realized something, and asked Ma Jixiang: "You were sent by His Majesty?" As soon as Li Tianjing left Nanjing, you followed, right? ”

Ma Jixiang didn't say anything, just smiled coldly, turned the knife around Xu Erlu's chest twice, and then pulled out the knife and directly chopped Lu Renchang, who was pressed on the table, and chopped off half of his head.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

Ling Run and other people from the East Factory Zhongtong also killed Pan Yunlong, Jiang Hai and others at this time.

And Li Tianjing, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, was already frightened at this time, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Ma Jixiang poured a cup of tea on Li Tianjing's face, Li Tianjing came back to his senses, and saw that Ma Jixiang was looking at him, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Fu Yin don't have to be afraid, we are just ordered to get rid of some people who may harm you, you are your official well, whoever invites you next, you can go, you can say whatever you want, but there is no need to mention this matter today, what do you say?"

As soon as Ma Jixiang said this, Li Tianjing seemed to understand a little, and dared to feel that he had not escaped His Majesty's ears and eyes, and he couldn't help but feel afraid for a while, he didn't know what His Majesty would do with him next.

……

Zhu Youzhen received a report from Dongchang, and seeing Wang Chengen's solemn expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is the old story of Wuzong and Xizong?" ”

Wang Chengen informed Zhu Youzhen of the mystery of the deaths of Wuzong and Xizong, and Zhu Youzhen knew that he was the emperor, even if he had imperial power in his hands, even if he resisted external troubles, he would not necessarily live unharmed.

This made Zhu Youzhen feel a little frightened for the first time, he didn't expect that Rao was now saving the entire south from the misery of Jiannu, but as long as he infringed on the interests of these gentry, there would be people who wanted their lives.

Zhu Youzhen threw the booklet in his hand on the ground in a faux puff, he couldn't help but look back, and under the angry eyes, only Wang Chengen was prostrate on the ground.

"Tell Yan Yingyuan, order him to pretend to be pirates and immediately exterminate the above families involved in the case, all the men over the age of fifteen in the house are killed for the crime of rebellion, and the men under the age of fifteen and the women, children and young girls are sent to Penghu Dongfan (Taiwan) to reclaim the famine, and order Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, to prepare to drive away the red ghost of Dongfan Island, from now on, change Dongfan to Taiwan, set up a government, and order Zheng Zhilong to lead the prefect of Taiwan!"

Since Zhu Youzhen gave the Zheng firm tax-free privileges, the Zheng firm's influence in the South China Sea has become more and more powerful, and he can only collect protection money for Western ships such as the Red Fan Ghost, that is, the Netherlands, so the contradiction between the Zheng Group and the Red Fan Ghost is getting bigger and bigger, and Zheng Zhilong even sent Zhu Youzhen again in the hope of getting the support of the imperial court to recover Dongfan Island, drive away the Red Fan Ghost, and move the people of the mainland to Dongfan Island.

Zhu Youzhen has long been concerned about the recovery of Dongfan Island, but what he has to consider is that Zheng Zhilong's current desire to recover Dongfan Island is actually to expand a larger overseas base for his own Zheng Group, and also to relocate the people of the mainland to reclaim the famine in Dongfan, which will undoubtedly further expand the strength of the Zheng Group.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen has been hesitant and has not given Zheng Zhilong a clear answer, although he also knows that the recovery and development of Dongfan Island is a major matter that is conducive to the interests of the entire Chinese nation.

But now it is different, Zhu Youzhen realized that there are still many reactionary gentry in the country, and there are still many who have opinions on their new policies, and even do not hesitate to assassinate their own officials and himself, which makes Zhu Youzhen have to realize that he cannot turn against the Zheng business now, just as he cannot now propose that the official gentry pay grain and make enemies of the traditional gentry in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, etc., he must continue to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with these two forces and isolate the gentry who are mainly engaged in commercial activities in Jiangnan.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen now has no choice but to agree with Zheng Zhilong's proposal to recover Dongfan Island, which is equivalent to giving Zheng Zhilong an opportunity to build Taiwan and expand his own strength, and it can be regarded as diverting the attention of the Zheng Group, avoiding collusion between the Zheng Group and the Jiangnan gentry, and allowing the Zheng Group to spend the profits earned on the construction of Taiwan is also conducive to the rapid development of the Han people.

Since they want to emigrate, they simply send these children who disobey their families to the past, no matter how the Zheng group enslaves them, it should be regarded as the first step for the Han people to completely control Dongfan Island.

Wang Chengen was a little surprised, he didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly make such a decision, but he quickly understood: "Your Majesty, let Zheng Zhilong start a war with the Red Ghost, will it lead to a national war, and now the strength of the Red Ghost should not be underestimated, Chongzhen defeated the fleet of the Franco Machine in fifteen years, and now I am afraid that it is even stronger than back then." ”

"It's okay, I believe in Zheng Zhilong, unless his command level is not as good as his son," Zhu Youzhen said.
