The next day, on the north gate tower of Nanjing City, Lu Jiude and Gao Qiqian stood against the railing, looking at the north from afar, with solemn expressions, emotion, and helpless conversations, and endless vicissitudes and helplessness in their words.

"Father-in-law Gao, it's hard for you to make a trip this time, Shi Kefa can't have anything to do! When he went to Yangzhou Mansion, with the temperament of Huang Degong and others, although Shi Kefa was still the secretary of the Ministry of War, he couldn't control Huang Degong at all, and it was easy for things to happen. ”

Gao Qiqian turned his head, looked at Lu Jiude, and understood in his heart that Huang Degong supported the army with self-respect, and was self-reliant, and was the Dragon Father, and now he was named the Duke of Yasukuni, or the emperor's mentor, how could he be bound by others?

Therefore, as soon as he thought of this, Gao Qiqian looked puzzled and asked: "In this case, Gonggong Lu, you also know that only when Shi Kefa is in Nanjing City, Ma Shiying and the others will be restrained, so why not persuade the emperor to leave Shi Kefa behind?" Even if I go to Yangzhou Mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Huang Degong. ”

"Hey... Why didn't I want to? ”

Lu Jiude let out a long sigh, and after asking a rhetorical question, his expression was full of helplessness, and he said faintly: "Shi Kefa's words are too infuriating, such a result is already the best, if it weren't for Ma Shiying's too arrogant performance, he actually led troops into the palace, maybe the emperor would have beheaded Shi Kefa a long time ago." ”

"That's right, Ma Shiying's hand is really ruthless, such a letter, don't say that he is the emperor of the Ninety-Five, even the ordinary people have to fight to the death."

Although Gao Qiqian was echoing Lu Jiude's words, he shook his head again and again, shaking like a rattle, and said with emotion: "Hey, in this way, the imperial court will make people worry, Shi Kefa, these prestigious and upright officials have just resigned, but Ma Shiying and others are like fish in water, it can be said that they can't wait, Ruan Dacheng was immediately promoted and reused, and the emperor can only watch." ”

......

Li Laiheng's hiding place, Meng Chengshun's profligate laughter was echoing, and he said in a loud voice that was almost like a roar: "General, brothers, today's Nanjing City, especially in the officialdom, can be described as a good show, more exciting than those performing juggling, and ten times more beautiful!" ”

In the room, the atmosphere was very relaxed, everyone was full of smiles, Wang Fuzhi immediately mocked: "The Ming Dynasty is really hopeless, all of them have been frightened by these traitors, in the huge court, there is an emperor, and there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and they actually let the sincerity of Liu Kongzhao make such nonsense, Zhang Shenyan just recommended Wu Fu, he dared to pull out his saber in front of everyone, and chased Zhang Shenyan, such a court will not be destroyed, it is really intolerable!" ”

Compared with other people's cynicism and radical words, Huang Zongxi's reaction was very calm, and he just said: "Look, there will be a good show next, it will be more and more exciting." ”

At this moment, Li Laiheng's heart was excited, with a look of being full of ambition, and then gloating: "Hehe... Toss~ Toss hard~ The more we toss, the more beneficial it is to our actions, and the more unstable the people's hearts and the army's morale in the city. ”

As soon as he said that, he seemed to remember something, Li Laiheng coughed lightly twice, brewed his emotions a little, raised his voice a little higher, and then said: "By the way, let me tell you a good news, the emperor has already acted, they will cross the Yangtze River tonight, and by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, there will be Dashun troops coming to Nanjing City, everyone must be ready, and the plan can begin." ”

"Great, the emperor has finally made a move, I can't wait!" Meng Chengshun exclaimed, unable to restrain his excitement, and said: "I really can't bear it, I can't stand what Ma Shiying and these people are doing, I should have cleaned up this ** person a long time ago, fighting for power and profit, accepting bribes, and framing traitors, but it is a good hand, and the means are endless." ”

Of course, Li Laiheng understands why Meng Chengshun is so indignant? Why such anger?

It's really Ma Shiying, these people are too hateful, and people hate them so much that they itch their teeth!

Not to mention anything else, just the general soldiers of the four towns under him, in order to compete for the power of garrisoning Yangzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion, it can be said that they will do everything they can, and they will not hesitate to strike first, and directly lead troops to station, if they are not successful, they will burn and loot in Yangzhou Mansion, but Ma Shiying sits idly by and lets Huang Degong and others do nonsense.

Today's Nanzhili, especially the many state capitals and counties north of the Yangtze River, can be said to be boiling with public grievances, full of complaints, if it were not for the Dashun army has occupied some places, many people are still in dire straits.

Li Laiheng waved his hand to stop Meng Chengshun, who was still complaining, and said even more comfortingly: "Okay, okay, there's no need to be angry, get so angry, Liu Zeqing has been killed by the emperor, Huang Degong can't be arrogant in Yangzhou Mansion for a few days, and most of the entire north of the Yangtze River and South Zhili are already under the control of our Dashun Dynasty." ”

"Moreover, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Liu Kongzhao and others will not be able to jump for a few days, once Nanjing City is broken, the emperor will definitely not be able to spare them, and he will definitely give an explanation to the people."

After these words, the atmosphere in the room was obviously much better, and Meng Chengshun was no longer indignant and angry, but Huang Zongxi sighed at this time, and said in a deep voice: "In any case, I never thought that as a leading figure of the Donglin Party, known as a great Confucian, Qian Qianyi is actually a soft-footed shrimp, a wall grass, as soon as he saw that the momentum was not right, the momentum of Ma Shiying and others rose sharply, and they immediately turned against each other, and directly attached themselves to the past, without a little bit of the integrity of a scholar, and they were despised!" ”

Wang Fuzhi's face showed emotion, and then he also said: "Now I can see it, from the bones, Qian Qianyi and Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, Baoguo Duke and others are basically the same dog, and what they care about is not the well-being of the country and the people, but their lives and careers. ”

"Especially the Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi, who obviously knew Zhu Cihong, actually colluded with Ma Shiying, Liu Zhengzong and others to frame him Why Wang Zhiming? It's ridiculous, it's hateful! ”

When it came to Zhu Cihong's matter, Li Laiheng suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "Mr. Wang, how is that matter?" Zhang San, what happened to their planning? ”

The sudden questioning made Wang Fuzhi pause for a moment, reacted in an instant, and replied: "General, everything is going well, Zhang San and Sun San have successfully connected with those people, mixed in, secretly negotiated the prison of robbing soldiers and horses, and rescued Zhu Cihong, as long as we determine the date of the emperor's siege of the city, they can act on that day, so as to have the effect of countering us on the side and disrupting this Nanjing City." ”

"Well, that's good!"

Li Laiheng responded, nodded lightly with satisfaction, looked calm, and began to discuss the specific details of the action with everyone very solemnly, confirming it again and again, so as to ensure that there would be no omissions.
