Chapter Ninety-One: Zhang Jiayu's Allegiance!
……
"Lu Shilang, don't apologize to Ma Shoufu quickly!"
As soon as Zhu Yousong's words came out, the ministers looked at Lu Daqi one after another.
I want to see if he will continue to be iron-clad and resolutely not apologize.
However, he didn't wait for Lu Daqi to speak.
Ma Shiying was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty, Lu Shilang is just a rumor."
"He didn't do anything wrong."
"It's just that Weichen, the first assistant, didn't do well enough that he was impeached."
"This has nothing to do with Lu Shilang, it's all Weichen's fault."
"Please also ask Your Majesty not to blame Lu Shilang."
Ma Shiying's remarks seemed to be asking Zhu Yousong not to blame Lu Daqi, saying that Lu Daqi was just a rumor, and what was wrong was that he was not good enough.
But the most terrible thing is this rumor!
You know, the wind is a right that can only be driven by the Imperial History and the Six Branches.
Now Lu Daqi, a soldier in the military department, has heard of something, isn't this overstepping his authority and encroaching on his duties?!!
This is a very serious matter.
Didn't you look at the eyes of the people from the Yushitai and the six branches who looked at Lu Daqi in the matter at this time?
Otherwise, if you can be the first assistant in Daming, no matter what, there will be two brushes.
Ma Shiying shifted the focus of the audience to Lu Daqi in just a few words.
Now the attention of the ministers will not care about his cronyism.
Ma Shiying's eyes were secretly proud, looking at Lu Daqi, who impeached him.
Dismissive.
Dare to fight with him just like this, I really don't know whether to live or die!
At this time, Lu Daqi looked at the eyes of the ministers looking at him, and then looked at Zhu Yousong who was sitting on the dragon chair above.
After a soft sigh.
He didn't say anything, just put his hat on the ground.
"The minister is guilty."
"I beg to resign and return to my hometown."
"That's right."
Listening to Zhu Yousong's voice without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Daqi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say too much.
Just a person quietly got up and walked backwards.
Looking at Lu Daqi's slightly lonely figure, the eyes of the ministers were extremely complicated at the moment.
For some reason, this scene touched them a little.
And among the ministers, Qian Qianyi watched Lu Daqi walk out of the hall.
……
Dangtu County, Taiping Province.
The 200,000-strong army of the imperial court was under the ships prepared in advance by the local county order.
Descend the Huai River.
For a time, thousands of warships were densely packed on the river.
Form a magnificent situation of thousands of miles of ship.
Such a scale has already frightened the people on both sides of the strait.
There are even some elderly people who fall to their knees.
Exclaim that the once majestic Ming is back!
Zhao Zhilong, the commander who watched it, was extremely satisfied.
The imperial court's large-scale crusade against the rebels this time, in addition to dealing with the rebels, is also to let the people of the world or the south see the power of the Ming army!
In order to deter those careerists who are about to move, and tell them that Daming still has the strength!
Whoever dares to plot against him will raise a great army to fight against him!
A day later.
"Dashuai, there is Wuhu ahead."
Just when Zhao Zhilong stood majestically at the bow of the boat and enjoyed the fearful eyes of the people on both shores.
Deputy General Nan and Bo Fang Yiyuan reminded loudly at this time.
"Oh? Arrived so soon? ”
Zhao Zhilong was a little surprised, and then asked.
"I remember that this is the garrison of the Navy Division, right?"
"Exactly!"
Hearing the lieutenant general's reply, Zhao Zhilong suddenly remembered what the emperor had ordered him when he left.
……
"Zhilong, when you lead the army to Wuhu, you must enter Wuhu County."
"Wuhu County?"
"Isn't that the jurisdiction of Mr. Huang? Could it be that the imperial court let Huang Zongbing also fight for thieves with his ministers? ”
"No, your task is to beat the yellow dragonfly!"
"If you find that he has a heart of disobedience, you can arrest and return to Beijing!!"
!!!!
……
After thinking about things, Zhao Zhilong's thoughts returned to reality.
To tell the truth, this task given to him by the emperor did not exceed his expectations.
As early as when he mobilized the army, he had already heard the news of Huang Fei's disobedience to the orders of the imperial court in the court.
Now it is normal for the emperor to let him beat the yellow dragon.
After all, at this juncture of the war, Huang Fei's position is very important.
If he defected to the enemy, it would be a heavy blow to the Nanjing court.
But he didn't want to just do the beating.
It's hard to get out on a trip, so how can you not do something else?
Soon, the army docked in Wuhu County one after another under the order of Zhao Zhilong.
As early as when the Wuhu county commander learned that the imperial army was going to pass through Wuhu, he had already led the officials out of the city to greet him.
Those who went out of the city with him naturally also had Huang Fei, the chief soldier of the water division.
After a short time, Zhao Zhilong led his generals and personal soldiers to slowly walk down from the warship.
I saw Huang Fei and others waiting on the shore.
Hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.
"Oh, this is the famous Huang Fei Huang General Soldier, he has really admired him for a long time."
"Your Majesty, but the capital praised you in front of the general~, when I saw it today, it really deserved its name!"
Listening to Zhao Zhilong's flattering words, Huang Fei was a little confused.
I don't understand why Zhao Zhilong was so enthusiastic when he came up.
But since people are so enthusiastic, he can't help but give face.
So Huang Fei also hurriedly walked up and praised Zhao Zhilong.
"Where is it, the humble position is just a small naval division commander, and where can it be compared to the Chengbo who is in the capital."
"You are a famous minister in front of Your Majesty, how can you be compared to a humble position............ This time, Xichengbo led a large army to crusade against the rebels, and I believe that he will be able to succeed and defeat the rebels in one fell swoop! ”
Zhao Zhilong listened to Huang Fei's flattering words at this time, even if he knew that this was a polite remark.
I couldn't help but hold my head high.
After all, what people say is the truth, can he not be happy?
At the same time, he also relaxed his vigilance against Huang Fei.
"Uncle Xicheng, this time we docked in Wuhu, but is there anything we need to do?"
After touting each other for a while, Huang Fei began to ask Zhao Zhilong's purpose.
"It's not a secret, there are indeed some, and my brother also knows that because the army set off in a hurry, he didn't bring too much baggage."
"Right now, we need some siege equipment and other baggage."
"I wonder if Brother Huang can provide us with some?"
Zhao Zhilong asked tentatively.
"Of course you can!"
Huang Fei agreed.
As he spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just some siege equipment?" There are many lowly soldiers, Uncle is waiting, or he will be able to give it to you in a day! ”
"Good!"
"Then in that case, Ben Shuai has thanked Brother Huang here!"
"Where, where, Uncle Xicheng is too polite......"
"By the way, it just so happens that the younger brother has booked a good room in Tianxian Building today, I wonder if the uncle would like to enjoy the light?"
Huang Fei asked suddenly.
Hearing this, Zhao Zhilong's eyes suddenly lit up.
These two marching on the sea in the sky, although there are beauties he brought over to play, but they have long been a little tired of playing.
Now Huang Fei invited him to pick up the wind and wash the dust, which is exactly what he wants.
"Good! Since the virtuous brother is so hearted, then the old brother and I will be disrespectful. ”
As for the task that the emperor asked him to beat Huang Fei, after a few days of play, it was not too late to beat again.
After all, if you don't stretch out your hand and hit a smiling person, he can still give this face.
Anyway, Ning Guofu has already been captured, and I believe it will not be worse for him in the past two days.
"Hahahahaha, then brother, please?"
"Please!"
The two of them said as they walked towards the city with their shoulders hooked.
Seeing this, the officials standing in place also hurriedly pulled Fang Yiyuan and the others to the city.
……
In the evening, the dishes are over five flavors, and the wine is over three rounds.
The drunken Huang Fei and Zhao Zhilong each returned to their respective rooms with the two girls in their arms.
However, Huang Fei had just been helped back to the room.
opened his eyes directly, and then broke free from the support of the two women.
One sat down in a chair and took a sip of tea.
Then he said, "You two go down first."
Hearing this, the two women did not ask back.
Just saluted, and silently retreated.
Shortly after the two women stepped back.
A figure slowly walked out of the screen in the back hall.
"How's it going?"
"See Your Majesty!"
Seeing the comer, Huang Fei suddenly woke up.
There is a high probability that the throne will not belong to him.
If it weren't for his cleverness, he would have sent a personal eunuch to contact Huang Degong and other soldiers and horses in the three towns.
Directly into the city of Nanjing.
I can't say that this throne can't be done by myself now!
Even the Shousuke in front of him was still kept in the dark at the time.
It's just that Huang Degong and others are forced to support him, so he will support himself in turn.
It was for this reason that he was very worried about the ministers who supported King Lu at the beginning.
I am afraid that they will also come to a mutiny, or a coup d'état, just like themselves.
This concern was especially serious after the rebellion of Zhu Di in Guangdong.
I am afraid that the throne I made under my ass will be taken away by Zhu Di or King Lu one day.
This is what he has always hinted that Ma Shiying is instructed by King Lu.
In order to wipe out the courtiers who supported King Lu.
"Your Majesty! Don't think like that! ”
Listening to Zhu Yousong's heart, Ma Shiying hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Those ministers supported King Lu at the beginning, but it was only because they didn't know His Majesty that they chose King Lu."
"Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, aren't they also honestly loyal to Your Majesty?"
"What's more, these people occupy almost half of the imperial court, and the gentry and landlords in the entire south are more willing to obey their orders."
"If it's because of King Lu's relationship, it involves them."
"Chen is really afraid that Da Ming will fall apart in the next moment!!"
As she spoke, Ma Shiying fell to her knees.
said with a weeping face.
"For the sake of Daming, I beg Your Majesty not to do this!"
After listening to Ma Shiying's words, Zhu Yousong opened his mouth.
I don't know what to say.
He knew Da Ming's current situation, and even knew how much that group of people occupied in the court.
It's just that he still has illusions in his heart, thinking that he is the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as the instruction is issued, there will naturally be people under his hands to give him a perfect solution.
But now listening to Ma Shiying say this, it also completely shattered his illusions.
Da Ming really can't stand the infighting at this moment.
If you continue to fight, it may really be like what Ma Shiying said.
It's just that he just let those people stay in the court, and he always feels a little scared in his heart.
I'm afraid that the throne will be gone in the next second.
And Ma Shiying also saw the emperor's worries.
Hurriedly continued to offer advice: "Your Majesty, what you are worried about is that these people still have King Lu in their hearts."
"But Weichen has a plan to help His Majesty solve this worry of yours!"
"Really??!"
Ma Shiying's words instantly made Zhu Yousong happy.
If he could solve the reason why these people once supported King Lu, he could still reluctantly accept the continued appointment of these people.
"Of course!"
Ma Shiying said confidently.
"Your Majesty, do you remember Lu Daqi?"
"The one who just impeached you in the temple?"
Zhu Yousong asked curiously.
"Exactly!"
"Your Majesty, do you know the real reason why this person wants to impeach Weichen?"
"Oh? Could it be that there is another hidden story in this matter?? ”
When Zhu Yousong heard this, he immediately became interested.
I didn't expect this Lu Daqi to be unheard, there were other reasons.
It's really interesting.
"Your Majesty, this Lu Daqi Lu Shilang, in April, he was one of the people who supported King Lu!"
!!!!
"He is also the one who supports King Lu???!"
Zhu Yousong asked with a look of surprise.
He really didn't know about this matter, and the only people he could know were Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Shi Kefa, a scholar of the Cabinet University, who supported King Lu.
I really didn't know that there was still this Lu Daqi.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong suddenly realized.
He said that it was no wonder that at the beginning of today's court meeting, this Lu Daqi directly preemptively impeached Ma Shiying.
It turned out that it was because the purpose of supporting King Lu was not achieved, so he was angry and impeached Ma Shiying.
It seems that this man is a somewhat stupid hostile person!
I did the right thing!
But then Zhu Yousong began to wonder again.
He couldn't understand how this Lu Daqi could be related to his worries?
A person who has resigned and returned to his hometown, what else can he do?
Faced with the emperor's confusion, Ma Shiying continued to offer advice.
"Your Majesty, according to various investigations, although I did not find that King Lu was the mastermind behind this great compassion."
"But the minister found out that there were officials from the DPRK and China directing behind the scenes."
"I want to use great compassion to fulfill his ambitions."
"This person has not yet been discovered, and is currently under investigation......"
Hearing this, combined with what Ma Shiying said earlier, Lu Daqi.
Zhu Yousong suddenly understood what Ma Shiying meant.
This is to treat Lu Daqi as the black hand behind the Great Compassion.
But it still has nothing to do with canceling his worries?
Seeing that Zhu Yousong still didn't understand the meaning.
Ma Shiying is not in a hurry, after all, he has been with the emperor for so long, and he already knows what kind of person Zhu Yousong is.
The ears are soft, and they will only indulge in wine.
secretly turned to Gao Jie, Huang Degong and others before, and it already belonged to his extraordinary performance.
If it weren't for Zhu Di's rebellion these days, he would basically be indifferent.
Not to mention the court meeting.
