Chapter 353: Shameless Civilian Officials and Collecting Soldiers
Ruan Dayue said with a smile on his face, and bowed to Zhu Youzhen again:
"Your Majesty! Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace; If Your Majesty kills him, whoever he is, he can take it! If Your Majesty saves him, whoever he is, he can live! No one can control Your Majesty, long live my emperor! ”
Ruan Dayue raised his arms and shouted: "Long live my emperor!" ”
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
……
As soon as Ruan Dayue shouted this, the officers and soldiers of the guards all raised their arms and shouted.
At this moment, the officers and men of the Guards all shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially Dong Zhining and others, because His Majesty Zhu Youzhen will really slaughter Shilin for them.
In addition to the officers and soldiers, the people who gathered when they heard the news also shouted, these literati have always been high-minded and bullying the market, and the officers and men of the Guards, especially the Second Army of the Guards, regularly entered the city of Nanjing to carry out activities close to the people, so the common people also loved the Guards and Zhu Youzhen very much, and they all shouted.
Gao Hongtu suddenly felt that he had come to the wrong place at this time, and he also felt that his situation was very embarrassing.
In the whole scene, he, the head of the cabinet, did not shout long live, as if he was a sinner, and these officers and soldiers were the loyal people who followed His Majesty.
Gao Hongtu felt helpless for the first time, and began to panic, and secretly shouted: "God, how can this be, the people who are dying at this moment are all my Ming scholars, these are the hearts of the people, why do the people cheer for Your Majesty!" ”
At that time, a sudden strong wind swept in the torrential rain, and the scorching streets suddenly resounded with the sound of rustling rain.
The bluestone slab suddenly fell into a pool of stagnant water, and was stirred up by the heavy rain and made countless splashes.
Zhu Youzhen let the heavy rain wash away, and laughed directly.
He was so happy at the moment, he never thought that he would have so many people to support him.
In particular, Ruan Dayue's performance made him no longer afraid of the civilian clique.
Zhu Youzhen walked over and directly kicked Gao Hongtu to the ground:
"The surname is high! Don't think I won't dare to kill you! See it, hear it, who are the courtiers and the people who are loyal to me!
Either you will wear the veil on your head and join me in the great cause, or you will take this long sword and kill yourself and die for your scholars!
Don't think that if I leave your Gao family, I can't carry out salt tax reform, this salt tax reform, you Gao Hongtu can't come, as well as Ruan Dayue, Zhang Dayue and even Li Dayue, your Gao family's salt industry will naturally be rewarded by me! ”
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he threw the long sword in front of Gao Hongtu:
"Old horseman, if I hadn't led the army here, your position as the first assistant would have been destroyed by the rebellious ministers and thieves here!"
Saying that, Zhu Youzhen walked directly towards Gao Hongtu's mansion.
happened to see that Chu Guozuo was not dead yet, and Chu Guozuo crawled towards him: "You tyrant, Daming will definitely die in your hands, in your hands." ”
"If I hadn't killed you, Da Ming might have died, but if I killed you today, Da Ming will not die again, but I am indeed a tyrant, I am a tyrant, hahaha!"
Zhu Youzhen laughed insolently, and only dropped four words: "Hack to death with a knife!" ”
Suddenly, several Dongchang servants came over, and Wang Chengen took the lead directly, and the knife rose and fell countless times, and Chu Guozuo's body was chopped to pieces.
At this point, all the members of the Duanwen Society gathered in Nanjing City were slaughtered!
Zhu Youzhen walked into the Gao Mansion, but saw a butt writhing in a dog hole: "Who is it, come out to me!" ”
Chen Shiding, who was in the dog cave, was more depressed and embarrassed at this time.
He originally wanted to escape, but because he was too fat, he couldn't get out or retreat at this time, so he had to laugh awkwardly:
"Your Majesty, don't blame, because Weichen found a cricket that was excellent, he wanted to catch it and give it to His Majesty, but he was trapped."
Zhu Youzhen almost burst out laughing.
He didn't know who this red-robed official was, although he felt familiar, but after all, he saw a lot of senior officials every day, so he couldn't guess it, so he had to give Dong Zhining an order: "Drag him out." ”
In this way, Chen Shiding, the left attendant of the ministry, was dragged out and stood in front of Zhu Youzhen with an embarrassed face.
"Eh, I remembered, are you Chen Shiding, the new left waiter of the Ministry of Officials?"
Zhu Youzhen asked, he had heard Chen Shiding countless times from Wang Chengen's mouth earlier, and naturally knew that he was an important member of Guan Shaoning's party, and glanced meaningfully at Gao Hongtu, who was still kneeling outside:
"Send an edict to Xia Yunyi to surround the old mansion of the high pavilion, and no one of the men, women and children in the mansion shall let go."
Zhu Youzhen had no intention of doing anything to Gao Hongtu.
In his consciousness, although Gao Hongtu is a little as pedantic and stubborn as Fan Jingwen and others, at least he is still loyal and will not want to harm himself, which is different from Guan Shaoning and other reactionary gentry in Jiangnan, after all, Guan Shaoning and others want to subvert their own regime and even harm themselves;
But now that Chen Shiding will appear in Gao Hongtu's mansion, Zhu Youzhen has to start to suspect Gao Hongtu.
If Gao Hongtu is really likely to be the real mastermind behind the scenes, plus Gao Hongtu's status is so high, then he must not just kill Gao Hongtu in order to punish the courtiers.
Everyone in this Gao Mansion is afraid that they will have to accompany the funeral, otherwise it will not be enough to compensate for their tolerance and trust in Gao Hongtu.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is only suspicious now, after all, he doesn't think that Gao Hongtu's city government is deep enough to direct a drama about himself being besieged by the members of the Duanwen Society, the key is that Gao Hongtu also participated in Zhang Shenyan's big case, but he still chose to join himself at the cost of the destruction of the Donglin Party at the most critical moment, in order to ensure his rule.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen only ordered someone to temporarily surround Gaofu.
He is too lazy to talk nonsense about this Chen Shiding, and since he has decided to treat these people with ulterior motives with violence first, he no longer wants to hide his dislike for Chen Shiding and other chaotic parties.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is Weichen, long live my emperor, long live!"
Chen Shiding knew that he couldn't escape today, and he also knew that he had to behave obediently no matter what, otherwise in the case of so many guards at this moment, he could only be hacked to death with a knife like Chu Guozuo.
Therefore, Chen Shiding softened his knees without saying a word, and contrary to the preferential treatment of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty in the past, he directly bowed in front of Zhu Youzhen.
However, Zhu Youzhen still slapped the table:
"Ridiculous! You just said that you were looking for crickets for me, you are not doing your job as the left servant of the ministry, and you are looking for crickets for me here, are you really confused or sarcastic that I am a faint king, just now Chu Guozuo said that I am a tyrant, and you directly sarcastically ridiculed me as a faint king who likes crickets, one by one is very bold, come to someone, drag him down and behead him directly, the family property is gone, and all the men, women and children of the nine clans are sent to the east! ”
Chen Shiding was shocked when he heard this, where did he think that he would casually make up a dog hole for the reason that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen would understand it so much, and he hurriedly kowtowed:
"Your Majesty spares your life, Weichen doesn't mean that, Weichen is just a plaything, Wechen is also willing to be like Ruan Ge Lao for His Majesty to drive for His Majesty, as long as His Majesty is willing to forgive the minister, the minister is willing to expose, yes, the minister exposed, expose the right attendant of the military department, Ye Junzhen, colluded with the white-clothed sect and the Jiannu spy to force the palace to rebel!"
