On the fourth day of May, people waited for a whole day, but did not wait for the expected prisoner.

The Supervisor did not come to the capital immediately. It was not until the next day that the demoted officials who had stayed behind in the capital finally received the news that the Supervisor would enter the city tomorrow.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, when the sky was getting brighter and the Chaoyang Gate opened wide, all the officials, gentry and people in the city rushed out of the city. They were neatly dressed and set up incense burners on the roadside five miles away. The people could not stand together with the officials and gentry.

They divided into groups and waited on the roadside in the wilderness. Although everyone got up early, many people were in a really good mood.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is back!

What a pity, in the final analysis the Ming Dynasty was better!

At first, I thought I could go to Dashun and work as an official and a part-time official, but who would have thought that those thieves would not change their thieves' hearts even after becoming the world's top officials, and they would be ruthless and ruthless. They have suffered a lot these days.

But it’s fine now, the Ming Dynasty is back!

He is about to reach the top of the prison of the country.

When the time comes, everyone will still be appointed as officials!

A new dynasty and a new atmosphere!

The new dynasty always has to employ people as officials!

The leading official was Luo Yangxing. After Chongzhen's fall and Li Zicheng's occupation, the investigative agencies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei no longer existed, so Luo Yangxing's information was not well-informed. Of course, he still knew that the supervisory state was fighting in Baoding.

A great victory was won. Otherwise, the bandits would not have escaped from the capital, right?

Like others, Luo Yangxing was tortured when Li Zicheng occupied the capital and forced out a lot of money. In his heart, he was looking forward to the return of the prison country to restore the Ming Dynasty, because he suffered a lot when the invaders occupied Beijing.

Let bygones be bygones. What he thinks more about is preserving his own future and the Luo family's wealth. What he hates from the bottom of his heart is Li Zicheng. It is the "rogue bandit" who destroyed the Ming Dynasty and even took away the Luo family's wealth.

As the emperor and his courtiers, there is really no basis for how the Supervisory Council will treat them and their old ministers who have been demoted. He has thought about it all and will do his job honestly. He does not ask for anything else, but to redeem himself for his sins.

The problem is, no one knows what the atonement for this sin is!

After all, they defeated Li Chuang!

He even has to bear the responsibility for the late emperor’s loss of his country!

Amidst this uneasiness, they finally saw the large group of people overseeing the country. In fact, it was not only the demoted officials in Beijing who were thinking about it, but even Zhu Guoqiang himself was also considering this matter.

How to treat those who are demoted!

To kill or not to kill?

Let's talk about killing them. They are indeed worthy of death. If they don't kill them, the people will not be angry. They are facing the Gang.

But once the whole body is involved, there are thousands of Beijing officials. Through their teachers, students, classmates, and classmates, they have already formed a huge network. This network is not just the Donglin Party, nor does it only involve hundreds or thousands of people.

Officials included all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Even on the way to the capital, they all tried to persuade him to be "cautious" and even used Li Zicheng to criticize him.

Li Zicheng... lost the world just because he offended the officials in the capital and tortured them. If not for this, how could he have ended up with the whole country rebelling against him?

And what was the first thing Dorgon did after entering Beijing?

It was "Order the officials of the Ming Dynasty to resume their original posts." This poisonous move by Hong Chengchou immediately won over the hearts of the officials and gentry.

Thousands of miles to sit in office just for money!

Since it is an official, whether it is an official of the Shun Dynasty or an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are all officials, and the ultimate goal is the same.

What a similar purpose!

Thinking in his heart, Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on his horse, would occasionally cast his gaze into the distance, toward the capital. It was not until the front rider reported that the officials and people of the capital were five miles out of the city to meet him that Zhu Guoqiang asked Song Xue Zhu.

"Song Qing, tell me, when they arrive in the capital, should they kill those who have been demoted or not?"

Faced with Jian Guo's inquiry, Song Xuezhu thought for a moment and then said.

"To supervise the country is to abandon the master and surrender to the ministers, and to commit the crime of harming the king and harming the country. He should be killed according to the crime. If this is the case, then killing him is not a big deal, but..."

Song Xue Zhu Chen said.

"Killing them will rectify the government and the law, but it will mess up people's hearts. After all, if it affects the whole body, these people will involve too many gentry and officials. In the future, there will be a supervisor in the capital, so there is no need to consider other things.

However, taxes and grains in the south of the Yangtze River are related to the stability of the capital city. After all, the capital city is only the center of the imperial court, but the money, food and utensils that the capital city relies on are all obtained from Nanjing, and many officials in the court are from Nanzhi and other places, so it is right to kill them

The national law will definitely arouse the resistance of the scholar-bureaucrats in Jiangnan, which will inevitably affect the taxation of Jiangnan. I think..."

Looking at the prison country, Song Xue Zhu sighed.

"Killing will indeed relieve hatred, but for long-term considerations, we might as well pardon him. When the world is peaceful in the future, we can slowly plan for him!"

Chao Songxuezhu glanced at him, and then Zhu Guoqiang smiled, but did not speak.

Undoubtedly, Song Xuezhu's move was more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. "Settlement of accounts after the fall" is a normal thing, just like in another time and space, the so-called "Saint Ancestor" dealt with those who followed him in order to protect the world.

The generals who rebelled against San Francisco and the civil servants who surrendered to San Francisco were extremely generous. It was great to retain their original posts and pardon their crimes. So everyone surrendered to the Manchus again. However, in the following ten years, that man

Find all kinds of excuses to kill all these people one by one. Are they dead? It doesn't matter, his son and grandson are still alive. Find a reason to kill them, otherwise they will live in Ninggu Pagoda. In short,

It will never be let go.

Look at the Qing Dynasty's methods. They are so sophisticated, vicious and upright. In the end, everyone kept singing their praises.

The world only remembers that "Holy Ancestor Benevolence" pardoned and demoted more than a thousand people. Who remembers that they had already written down all those people in their notebooks, just waiting to seize the opportunity to behead the people above them one by one? Ling Chi.

What a method!

With his eyes narrowed to a thin slit, Zhu Guoqiang did not respond to Song Xuezhu's suggestion. He just looked quietly into the distance, looking at the officials and people who greeted his arrival in the distance.

Whether they were excited that our Ming Dynasty was back, or they were feeling guilty and uneasy, when they saw the guard of honor of the Supervisory State arriving, everyone knelt on the ground to receive it. Some shed tears and some sobbed. In short, the scene was an exciting one.

Our Ming Dynasty is back again!

It seems that this is the voice of everyone. Faced with such a scene, it stands to reason that Zhu Guoqiang should get off his horse and comfort everyone, saying a few words, such as "I came late and made you suffer."

However, this is how he looked at these civil and military officials. How many of them were demoted?

How many people had greeted Li Zicheng's drive?

In history, how many people welcomed Dorgon here?

Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on the horse, did not speak, but just looked at these people. Then, he saw the dragon chariot and the book of honor being carried by the royal guards. These things used by the emperor were extremely gorgeous and magnificent. They were completely different from the prince's ceremonial guard.

different.

Seeing the supervisor looking at the ceremonial guards, the officials kneeling on the ground asked the supervisor to get into the sedan chair and enter the city.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Guoqiang said:

"I am not the emperor, so I cannot use the emperor's ceremonial guard."

A civil servant who knew the art of flattery straightened up on the ground and said:

"The Duke of Zhou is not claiming the title of king, but he is still receiving gifts from the south, so he might as well take the chariot. Moreover, although the prison state is now the prison state, he is also the heir apparent passed down by the late emperor, so it is only natural for him to use the emperor's ceremonial guard!"

Zhu Guoqiang was no stranger to the allusion that Duke Zhou did not claim the title of king. He stared at the guard of honor and said:

"Dragon chariot..., if I remember correctly, this chariot was left by the late emperor!"

The supervisor's question made the civil official's face change slightly, and he still dared to speak any more.

"This is the late emperor's dragon chariot. When Li Thief came to the capital, did you also use this chariot to welcome him?"

Everyone was very shocked when they heard this. They were so shocked that they could hardly speak. They just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to welcome him.

Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground, Zhu Guoqiang smiled coldly, and finally set his sights on Luo Yangxing, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"Where is Luo Yangxing?"

"My lord, my lord is here!"

Luo Yangxing, who was named, stood up tremblingly, even though he was frightened inside.

"Come forward and talk."

When Luo Yangxing stepped forward in fear, before he could reach the horse, Zhu Guoqiang drew out his sword. He raised the sword and dropped it. A stream of blood spurted out in the air. Luo Yangxing's head was missing.

"ah……"

Everyone screamed in horror, but Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Yangxing failed to protect the late emperor Zhou Quan when he was captured by thieves in the capital. He also failed to follow the late emperor when he died for his country. His crime should be punished!"

After saying this coldly, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the official kneeling on the ground and said.

"As officials of the imperial court, Emperor Mo's kindness cannot but be said to be immense, but how can you repay the late emperor? When the thieves came, where were you? Have you ever considered killing the thieves to serve the country? Everyone is waiting for a price, and they are all waiting.

Putting on the traitor's blue official robe, huh, it's really like 'the scholar-bureaucrats are rushing to surrender to the enemy, but the little girl is determined to keep her integrity'..."

Such bitter sarcasm only made everyone tremble when they heard it. If it had been put aside and replaced by any one person, it is estimated that those bastards who have made it their duty to criticize other people all day long would have jumped out by now.

, pointed at his nose and said loudly.

How dare you insult our civil servants!

Supervise the country!

How is the prison state? In the past, we used to criticize the emperor and the old man whenever he asked. You, a small prison state...

They really don't dare!

In the past, they could make a name for themselves by admonishing. That was because the emperor did not dare to kill the officials, let alone the civil servants. At most, they would just let the eunuchs and officials use the imperial staff. Those who were beaten to death were just bad luck.

, is weak, and the emperor doesn’t really want to kill anyone.

But this man is different, he really knows how to kill!

Not only can he kill, he also dares to kill with his own hands!
