Chapter 20: Donations

Jinling Academy was sealed, and more than 200 Fushe scholars dressed in beggar clothes were taken to the barracks, and those who were taken away together were also taken away with them, as well as Li Zhan, the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Dynasty.

As soon as this incident came out, Zhao Zhilong was completely on the same page as the Donglin Party.

At the court meeting the next day, many Donglin officials came out to complain about the resumption of the society and Li Zhanming, but this time there was no Wang Duo.

Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, saw from Gao Hongtu's incident that the Donglin Party was not in order, and the party leader Qian Qianyi only cared about himself.

Go out and talk by yourself, and if you die, someone will take care of you?

It's better to find a home as soon as possible, this new emperor is not bad.

Looking at the Donglin Party who were full of righteous indignation and kept standing up to impeach Zhao Zhilong, Wang Duo suddenly sneered, feeling in his heart that this group of people was really stupid pigs.

What can you accomplish with a knife in someone else's hand?

Coincidentally, when Zhu Cihong saw this at this time, he asked: "Deputy Cabinet Assistant, why didn't I hear your high arguments this time." ”

"I'd love to hear from you."

Wang Duo was speechless, and he still couldn't hide from it, so he hurriedly came out and laughed: "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, the minister feels that this matter is a big matter, and His Majesty is still in charge." ”

"The minister's opinion is irrelevant."

"Elder Wang Ge is really a noble person who forgets things, your opinion not long ago, but I almost got me in prison."

Zhu Cihong hid a knife in his smile, and when he saw that Wang Duo no longer dared to squeak, he turned his head and said, "Xin Chenghou, or I will come to give you an idea?" ”

Zhao Zhilong and the Donglin Party have inadvertently become incompatible, but they don't want to completely tear their faces.

At this time, the emperor came out to be a peacemaker, and he hurriedly said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of the ministers, and the ministers will act in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Wearing fancy clothes and demagoguery is not a good deed."

"This is also easy to do, you Aiqing told all the students to stop wearing beggar clothes and swaggering in the future."

When the Donglin Party heard this, they nodded one after another, this was within the acceptable range of them, but Zhu Cihong obviously had something to say.

Zhao Zhilong's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw that he hadn't mentioned himself, he didn't speak.

He is a man who cannot afford to make a profit, and if this matter is not of great benefit, he will not give up at all.

How big the emperor's face is, it is also how much it is good to see the hand.

If you give too much, then long live long live, if you can't accept it, then the emperor's decree is a fart.

Zhu Cihong naturally understood what Zhao Zhilong was waiting for, and said with a smile:

"I think that those students who have returned to the society will not be guilty of death, so they will be fined some silver according to their heads, and with a little admonition, they can also kill two birds with one stone as the salary of the city defense army."

"Isn't Xinchenghou short of military salaries? This is a good way to raise money. ”

Zhao Zhilong's eyes lit up, hey, I'll go, this method is good, the truth has been given, how do you want it, how much do you want, it's not up to you to decide?

So his face softened a little and said, "The minister obeys His Majesty's will, Your Majesty is sage." ”

The Donglin Party has nothing to say, as long as they can break the wealth and avoid disasters, they are not very bad at money, and they are all fat.

Both parties were satisfied, and the matter seemed to be resolved satisfactorily.

But the question is, the two of them are no longer fighting, is this the situation that the emperor wants to see?

Zhu Cihong said: "But I feel that Li Zhan, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, as an important member of the imperial court, incedes his students to do such an immoral thing, which is not tolerated. ”

"Xin Chenghou thinks, what should I do?"

Zhao Zhilong snorted coldly, looked back at the many Donglin Party officials in the court, and was determined to teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful they were.

So he stepped forward and said: "The minister thinks that Li Zhan's tongue should be cut off, so that he can no longer deceive people in the future!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.

The officials of the Donglin Party were naturally unwilling to accept such an important position in the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so they gave it up to others and came out to advise one after another.

"Your Majesty, Li Yushi is also worried about Sheji, and he should not be punished like this!"

"It's Li Yushi who did something wrong with good intentions, and he should be forgiven!"

For Zhu Cihong, this matter is not without room for maneuver, but this matter cannot be discussed in the court meeting.

You're both satisfied, what about me?

Zhu Cihong didn't speak, brushed his sleeves and left.

A court meeting was stopped, and the nobles on Zhao Zhilong's side, as well as the ministers of the Donglin Party, discussed a lot.

Wang Duo was very ghostly, and guessed what the emperor had in mind.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he came to Jiming Temple and decided to try it, break away from the Donglin Party, and become a member of the emperor's party.

Walking into the hall, I saw Emperor Shaowu after returning from the scattered dynasty, who was holding a chess game and playing chess alone, and said closely:

"The minister is here to accompany His Majesty and play chess to relieve boredom."

Zhu Cihong's eyes glanced slightly, and he guessed Wang Duo's ghost thoughts in his heart, and hummed: "Wang Ge has always been busy with state affairs, and now he has time to accompany me to relieve his boredom?" ”

Wang Duo sat up with a smile, glanced at the chess game, and said: "Your Majesty is talented and intelligent, and this chess game is the best game in the world." ”

"Now in this game, only His Majesty's god is missing."

It feels good to be slapped on the back, Zhu Cihong laughed, held the sunspot in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Then according to the old man's opinion, how should I go?" ”

Wang Duo pointed to a white child trapped in the middle by the sunspot, and said with low eyebrows: "The minister thinks that this white child should be released at this time, so as to use the white child to restrain the surrounding sunspots." ”

"If the sunspot is not restrained, nothing can be done."

Zhu Cihong understood what he meant, nodded in approval, and then said: "It's just that this white seed, even if it is released, it can't stay in its place." ”

"Should I find another one in this position?"

Wang Duo weizheng, pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter should be raised at tomorrow's court meeting, and Your Majesty can decide on it." ”

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "In this way, there will be Lao Aiqing." ”

Wang Duo did this completely to save his own life.

He understood that the fake emperor in front of him might be more delicate than the original real one, and the depth of the city was so deep that even he couldn't fathom it.

And Zhao Zhilong, that idiot, didn't know that he had become an emperor's gun, and he was still complacent and got benefits.

When Wang Duo walked out, Han Zan said on Monday: "Your Majesty, the second assistant of the cabinet has learned wisely this time, has there been a candidate for the imperial history of Zuodu?" ”

"He's afraid of becoming the next Gao Hongtu." Zhu Cihong nodded and said:

"He's still smart, otherwise he will be the next to die, the candidate of the Zuo Capital Imperial History, what do you think of the Deputy Capital Imperial History Zuo Maodi?"

Han Zanzhou thought about it and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zuo Maodi was born in Donglin, but he has almost no contact with them. ”

"The slave and maid remembered that a few days ago, Zuo Maodi had gone to the court, saying that Chen Hongfan, the governor of Caojiang, could not be trusted, and it was Jianyu's meticulous work. That Chen Hongfan was having a personal relationship with the Donglin officials in the court, and many Donglin officials vied with each other to impeach Zuo Maodi. ”

Zhu Cihong became interested and asked, "How did Hongguang do it?" ”

Han Zanzhou said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Fu ignored it, and Ma Shiying, who was the first assistant at the time, stayed in the middle and did not deal with it until now. ”
