Let's be honest.

When Zhu Yunxi asked about the relationship between Xu Dongjiang and Huang Zicheng, he just wanted to observe his reaction and see some clues.

In his opinion, although Huang Zicheng is stupid and bad, this person should not have the courage to rebel.

Historically, he also had a bit of backbone, and he would rather the Nine Clans be punished than surrender and betray the master.

I never expected this to ask casually.

Xu Dongjiang actually begged for mercy.

Zhu Yunxi was also confused, which was completely unexpected by him!

But soon, he regained his composure.

"Hmph, there are gods three feet above your head. Heaven is clear, do you really think that you don't know about those things you do? It's not really recruited! ”

"The lower officials don't dare to hide it!" Xu Dongjiang cried a handful of snot and tears, and said tremblingly: "Xiaguan has always had a good relationship with Huang Zicheng because of his friendship with Huang Zicheng in the same year, but it is just a normal relationship, and he has not done anything unseemly, let alone any corruption and bending the law. ”

"It's just that two days ago, Xiaguan suddenly received a secret letter from Huang Zicheng, talking about His Royal Highness the Grand Sun."

"He thinks that His Royal Highness the Taisun is not the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it is not good for the country to be established as the prince."

"And the various policies pursued by His Royal Highness Taisun do not follow the ancient law, and they are willful, if they inherit the unification, the Ming Dynasty will go to the abyss of no return."

"Only by supporting the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen, as the prince, is the way out for the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"He asked the subordinate to deliberately try to obstruct His Royal Highness Taisun after he came down, delay the warplane, and make His Royal Highness Taisun suffer a big defeat."

"He will contact many colleagues in the court to work together, and he will definitely abolish the position of prince of His Royal Highness Taisun."

Xu Dongjiang 1510 told Huang Zicheng about sending a secret letter.

This is a bonus.

"Where is MeSign now?" Zhu Yunxi asked in a deep voice.

"It's still in Xiaguan's house." Xu Dongjiang said: "Originally, Huang Zicheng confessed in the letter, and after reading it, he must immediately burn and destroy the secret letter. ”

"But Xia Guan thought that in case the court would investigate it later, this would also be extremely important evidence, so he secretly stayed."

"Xiaguan will go and get it."

You are afraid of being pitted, and you are afraid that the other party will unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future.

Or want to use this to blackmail Huang Zicheng in the future and seek benefits for himself.

It's all an old fox in officialdom.

Zhu Yunxi saw through Xu Dongjiang's true thoughts at a glance.

These people are in a treacherous way, and they are deceiving each other.

What he said was that he would treat each other with all sincerity and share honor and disgrace.

But what I do in private is dirtier and dirtier than the other.

It's a good thing for him, though.

Zhu Yunxi winked.

Jiang Zhen immediately took a few brocade guards and escorted Xu Dongjiang to take the secret letter.

Zhu Yunxi took it and looked at it, and his heart suddenly became murderous.

In his eyes, although Huang Zicheng in history is hateful, he is still loyal to his master, but his ability is not good and he is overwhelmed.

As Lao Zhu said, even if they are only middle-of-the-road, they are loyal.

The imperial court can be used.

Therefore, although he fought with Huang Zicheng several times, Zhu Yunxi was also merciful to his subordinates, and did not want to put the other party to death.

didn't expect that Huang Zicheng would be stubborn to such an extent.

In his secret letters, although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to kill him, he kept saying that he wanted to keep him safe.

But in reality, it's not much different, if not worse.

He was taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiaxing and even the coastal areas at the cost of the opportunity to abolish his position as the prince.

How can you be so ruthless?

Keep saying that you will establish your heart for heaven and earth, establish your life for the people, and continue to learn for the saints.

But what he actually did was so despicable and obscene.

How innocent the people were, for no reason, they became victims in his hands.

Zhu Yunxi's anger surged.

For a moment, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

I'm still too naïve.

Political struggles have always been brutal.

Rat.

He wants to implement reforms and let Daming enter a new era.

And what Huang Zicheng represents is precisely the most conservative and stubborn faction.

A person who does not abide by the feudal etiquette system, in their eyes, is a great rebellion, and a crime deserves death.

If the other party is the prince, then he should be deposed.

If he is the emperor, he will also be scolded as a faint king.

The contradictions between them are inherently incompatible.

He does not have the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson, so he can only be said to be a fuse.

After all, he is now a prince, and the dispute between the young and the old should have ended a long time ago.

But the next series of policies he implemented were the fundamental reason why a group of people led by Huang Zicheng were biting him tightly.

"The wheel of history cannot stop because of anyone. Whoever stands in front of them will only be crushed to pieces. ”

Zhu Yunxi put away the secret letter.

Since Huang Zicheng is so stubborn, don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless.

A person who sacrifices tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people as a "price" at every turn, whether it is for himself or for the world, cannot be easily let go.

Xu Dongjiang was still kneeling on the side, looking at him with blank eyes.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him.

Huang Zicheng just asked him to let the imperial grandson suffer a defeat at the expense of the people.

But this guy refuses to open the city gate, this is to kill him!

Fortunately, the new army is strong.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that he would either have been killed by the Japanese Invaders now, or he would be on the way to frantically flee for his life.

This man deserves to die!

It's just that the current Jiaxing Mansion still needs a person in charge.

Just went through a war, and there are a lot of things to deal with on all sides.

Next, we are about to go to recover Songjiang Mansion.

Logistical issues require coordination among all parties.

It's not impossible to kill him now and reappoint a new prefect.

But even if it is just because they are not familiar with the process and personnel, or if there is a little mistake in coordination, resulting in a delay of two or three days, it is a serious delay to the fighter.

As for killing him, there is no need to rush at all.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi had an idea in his heart.

"Good!" He opened his mouth and said: "You dare to collude with the ministers of the court and try to harm the prince of the Ming Dynasty, this is a great crime of rebellion, and it is not an exaggeration to punish your nine clans." ”

"Plop!" Xu Dongjiang knelt on his knees, so frightened that there was no more blood in his body.

Zhu Yunxi said: "However, you can learn your way back if you are alone, take the initiative to report Huang Zicheng and hand over the secret letter, it is not impossible to leave you a glimmer of life." ”

"Now that the war is imminent, I am allowed to continue to work with the death penalty, raise food, pacify the people, and maintain law and order."

"You have to work well, and if anything goes wrong, then take your own death."

Dai is guilty of capital office, which is a system invented by Lao Zhu.

Because the anti-corruption campaign is so ruthless, that there is no one to use the local government yamen.

I had to let those officials who had committed crimes continue to stay in office in shackles.

As a result, the officials who ascended to the court interrogated the criminals and concluded the case.

On the other hand, he is actually wearing shackles on his feet.

Because he has been sentenced to death a long time ago, but it is not yet time to be executed.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, this was too funny.

However, in Zhu Yunxi's view, although this system is not very good, it also has its advantages when it is occasionally used in special periods.

Letting you work in shackles actually gives you a chance to save yourself.

Just like the probation in the future, as long as you behave well, you have a chance to change the sentence.

Under such circumstances, the officials who are guilty of committing crimes do not dare to have the idea of not fulfilling their responsibilities in the slightest.

Of course, this only applies to special times and special circumstances.

For example, dealing with Xu Dongjiang at the moment.

In the long run, it is still necessary to let the officials work normally.

When Xu Dongjiang heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"His Royal Highness Taisun Xie."

Zhu Yunxi said coldly again: "After the war, you will return to Beijing with Gu, meet Your Majesty, and submit the secret letter. ”

"As for what Grandpa Huang will do with you, it depends on your creation."

Rumble!

Xu Dongjiang only felt like thunder and explosion.

What is the character of His Majesty today?

At least, to officials, he was definitely an unusually brutal king.

He kills officials and never relents.

Murdering his favorite grandson?

I'm afraid a thousand cuts are not enough, right?

But soon, Xu Dongjiang had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

After all, His Royal Highness Taisun didn't plan to enter the city in the first place, and Jiang Zhen came to open the city gate, which was his own opinion.

Moreover, His Royal Highness Taisun is not in any danger, not even a single hair has fallen off.

Those robbers and thieves were all killed by him to the point of blood, where could he hurt him half a point?

His Royal Highness Taisun is fine, he is guilty of office, if he can make a great contribution because of this, there may still be a glimmer of hope for survival.

Xu Dongjiang had such a thought in his heart.

He didn't know that in Zhu Yunxi's heart, he had already been sentenced to death.

It's just that he has to squeeze out the last bit of value.

Anyway, with Zhu Yunxi's understanding of Lao Zhu, this wicked person doesn't have to do it himself.

It was impossible for Lao Zhu to let him go.

took him back to Beijing, on the one hand, accused Huang Zicheng and left him speechless.

On the other hand, it also happened to send him to the guillotine.

Seeing that Xu Dongjiang was still stunned, Zhu Yunxi glared at him again.

"Don't go to work yet!"

Xu Dongjiang hurriedly thanked him, climbed with him, and went to deal with related matters overnight.

Zhu Yunxi immediately hurried to sleep.

The new army did not pursue for long, so they left the next pursuit task to a few soldiers and horses who went out of Jiaxing City.

These soldiers, led by the Thousand Households, pursued them all night.

The new army took advantage of this opportunity and quickly entered a state of rest.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yunxi came to the camp of the New Army early.

At this time, the whole army had been assembled, and all of them were in high spirits and high morale.

At this time, the quality of an elite army is fully reflected.

After several days of high-intensity marching, there was a fierce battle last night, and after only one night's rest, it was able to recover as before.

This is the real elite army.

Of course, this is also because yesterday's battle was so beautiful.

It greatly boosted their morale.

The soldiers of the New Army, many of whom were military households, had experienced war.

The power of the flintlock pistol, they all know.

After all, I train every day in the academy.

But before they have really been on the battlefield and experienced actual combat tests, many people still inevitably beat the drum in their hearts.

Can it really work?

Especially hearing the undulating doubts of each other outside.

Many of the Forces nouvelles soldiers were also uneasy.

But yesterday's battle, all the anxiety, all the doubts, all the vanished.

His Royal Highness Taisun's brand-new tactics have really created an incredible miracle.

This moment.

Up and down the Forces nouvelles.

The worship of Zhu Yunxi has reached an unprecedented, almost crazy level.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the new army, it was a complete miracle that His Royal Highness not only invented the flintlock pistol, but also formulated the best tactical strategy.

At this time, looking at Zhu Yunxi's immature face and his body that had not yet grown up, the soldier no longer had half a point of contempt, and no longer wondered why he had to accept the command of a child.

In his eyes, Zhu Yunxi is no longer a human, but a god.

It is a matter of course to listen to his commands.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Lao Zhu abolishes Zhu Yunxi's position as the prince now, even if he becomes an ordinary person without any identity, the soldiers of the new army will not hesitate and unswervingly carry out his orders.

After this battle, Zhu Yunxi can be regarded as truly establishing his prestige and grasping his own power.

Rather than relying only on the blessing of the status of the emperor's grandson.

At the front of the queue, Zheng He's eyes were equally fanatical.

It has been recorded in the history books that a certain general created a miracle of destroying thousands of enemies without a single casualty on his side.

Zheng He has always regarded this as a fallacy.

Exaggeration.

But yesterday's battle was his own experience.

Watch with your own eyes the new army of hundreds of people and defeat tens of thousands of Japanese rebels.

It's like seeing a miracle unfold before your eyes, and you're still a participant.

This kind of shock will never be forgotten by Zheng He.

He is now extremely glad to have defected to the door of His Royal Highness the Grand Sun.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to create such a record in his life.

I don't even dare to think about it.

If you are an enemy of His Royal Highness......

The thought flashed through me, and I didn't think about it anymore.

Because the answer is self-evident.

He didn't have a chance to win by half a point at all.

Zhu Yunxi felt the hot eyes of everyone, and he knew in his heart that this new army would be truly loyal to him in the future.

"Yesterday's battle, everyone worked hard."

His words were concise and to the point.

"After returning to Beijing, Lone will be rewarded for his merits and deeds, and he will not treat any of you badly."

"Today, we still need everyone to continue to persevere and recover Songjiang."

Soldiers are fast.

The pirates and the thieves must not be given any respite.

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he waved his hand.

The whole army set off and ran wildly all the way.

From Jiaxing City to Songjiang Mansion, more than 130 miles.

By the time the sun set in the west, he had already seen the walls of Matsue Mansion.

"The whole army is in combat mode and ready to attack the city!"
