Although he knew that Chen Qianfu was a ruthless person, Zhu Gaoyuan still couldn't help but want to test his courage.
At that moment, Zhu Gaoyuan said to Chen Qianfu: "Chen Aiqing, I have a difficult mission for you now. Do you dare to enter Guide Mansion City and inform Sang Kaidi of my imperial convoy's arrival?"
Zhu Gaoyuan knew that in history Sang Kaidi eventually returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Chen Qianfu's visit to the city to persuade him to surrender is not dangerous.
But Chen Qianfu didn’t have a God’s perspective, so he didn’t know this at all.
Therefore, it still takes a lot of courage to enter Guidefu City to persuade them to surrender at this time.
As a result, Chen Qianfu didn't even hesitate at all. He stuck his neck and said, "Why don't you dare!"
Zhu Gaoyuan was somewhat impressed and said to himself that these ancient people who believed in the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers were really not afraid of death. Then he asked: "Do you want me to send a team of soldiers to follow you into the city?"
"No need." Chen Qianfu said, "Your Majesty only needs to condemn one of his servants to enter the city together."
Zhu Gaoyuan immediately turned his attention to Gao Qiqian. Gao Qiqian's face fell instantly. Why is it me again? It's the turn of other chamberlains, right? Your Majesty, you can't arrest me alone.
But Gao Qiqian, the dog eunuch, is really lucky.
Before Zhu Gaoyuan spoke, there was a noise in front of him.
Immediately, Jin Xuan, who stayed in front to guard the formation, came back and reported: "Your Majesty, Sang Kaidi, the prefect of Guide, killed Chen Qi, the pseudo-submissive and fellow prefect of Guide, and opened the city gate anyway."
"Good thing." Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and nodded.
Sangkaidi's reaction was actually what he expected.
Chen Qianfu, Wu Linzheng and other civil servants were greatly surprised.
When you rise high and dive, you take a long breath, which is really good.
Zhu Gaoyuan said to Gao Qiqian again: "Go and bring Sang Kaidi over."
"Old slave, I obey." He raised his head and walked out arrogantly. After a while, a civil servant wearing a scarlet robe came over, holding a tray in his hand with a bloody head on it.
"The guilty minister returned to Sangkaidi, the prefect of virtue, and kowtowed to the Holy Spirit Jin'an."
Sancardito knelt down holding the wooden plate and hit his head heavily on the ground.
Zhu Gaoyuan looked down at Sang Kaidi and remained silent for a long time. This was a silent psychological shock.
If you make a mistake, you can be forgiven. There is no problem with that, but you must also punish your mistake.
If I don't give you a longer memory, you will still make the same mistake next time you encounter a similar situation.
Zhu Gaoyuan didn't say anything, and Sang Kaidi knelt down and didn't dare to get up. He still kept holding up a wooden plate with a heavy human head on it. He was very tired.
In just a moment, Sangkaidi felt like he was holding a huge mountain.
My arms began to tremble uncontrollably, and my whole body was sweating profusely.
I don't know how long it took before Zhu Gaoyuan finally said quietly: "Get up."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. I am not a petty person. Since you can repent and return to the Ming Dynasty, everything in the past can be wiped out. From now on, I will still be your prefect of virtue."
"I, Sang Kaidi, thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness." Sang Kaidi was immediately moved to tears.
I really didn't expect this. Instead of killing him, the Holy Emperor actually let him continue to be the prefect. In an instant, Sang Kaidi had the urge to die for his confidant.
Sang Kaidi got up with difficulty and said: "I would also like to invite the Holy Lord to enter the city so that I can..."
"I won't enter the city this time." Zhu Gaoyuan waved his hand and said, "But don't think too much, I just don't want to disturb the people. You can quickly have someone prepare ten days' worth of dry food and fodder to send outside the city.
"
"I obey the decree." Sang Kaidi received the imperial edict and hurried back to the capital to prepare for his departure.
Zhu Gaoyuan said to Chen Qianfu again: "Chen Aiqing, you should also be busy with your business."
After making a soft sound, he asked Chen Qianfu again: "Do you know what to do next?"
"I know." Chen Qianfu nodded and said, "The first thing I have to do next is to hold the Shangfang Sword given by the Holy One and the edict to inform Kaifeng Prefecture and even all the states and counties in Henan Province, and order the officials and gentry who surrendered the thieves to return
We, the Ming Dynasty, will disregard all those who abandon darkness and turn to the light, and those who have official positions will still be entrusted with their original duties!"
Zhu Gaoyuan nodded happily, then wrote the handwriting, sealed it with his seal, and handed it to Chen Qianfu along with his sword.
Chen Qianfu walked away with the sword and the oracle in both hands as if he had obtained two treasures, and also took Xu Dingguo and his own three thousand Xiangyong away with him.
However, Xu Dingguo was left behind by Zhu Gaoyuan.
Xu Dingguo, this waste, would do less harm if he stayed around.
Watching Chen Qianfu go away, Jin Xuan stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
What surprised Zhu Gaoyuan was that Hu Guozhu also said: "Yes, Sang Kaidi, Chen Qianfu and others may not have second thoughts again, but the people around them can't guarantee that they don't have other thoughts, in case the general is here."
If the news of this leaks to Yuan Zongdi, the leader of the bandit right camp, it will be a big trouble."
Everyone's expressions were stern when they heard this.
Yuan Zongdi has more than 100,000 elite men under his command.
[Yuan Zongdi's right camp actually has about 50,000 old soldiers, of whom 30,000 follow Bai Wang to guard Jingxiang, and there are about 20,000 old soldiers who follow Yuan Zongdi into Henan]
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Gaoyuan said with a smile, "I'm afraid the bandit can't protect himself at this time."
"What? The bandit can't protect himself?" Jin Xuan, Meng Zhaoxiang and Hu Guozhu all looked at each other in shock.
Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said: "If I am not mistaken, the bandits have probably suffered a decisive defeat in Shanhaiguan, and the news will spread very soon, as fast as ten days
In as little as half a month, the rule of the bandits in Beizhi, Henan and even Shandong will fall apart."
What Zhu Gaoyuan said are facts recorded in historical books.
But in the eyes of Meng Zhaoxiang and others, the credibility is zero.
The bandits have already suffered a decisive defeat at Shanhaiguan?
Will the rule in Beizhi, Henan and Shandong fall apart soon?
It sounds like the truth, who believes it? Rogue thieves are not that easy to collapse.
Moreover, the worries of the ministers were quickly confirmed. Zhu Gaoyuan had just ordered a thousand Yiding to dismount and rest, and as a result, there was a continuous sound of horns from the direction of Suiyang.
This is the sound of the trumpet that has been scattered throughout the night.
[Ye Bu Shuo means no harvest in the dark night, which means scout cavalry]
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Hu Guozhu yelled immediately.
Wu Ba Tan, Meng Ke Tu and other barbarian generals quickly mounted their horses and began to rectify their troops.
Meng Zhaoxiang, Wu Linzheng and other civil servants were even more worried, thinking that something was wrong now. It must be Yuan Zongdi, the leader of the rogue Zuo camp, who had arrived with his army, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
Zhu Gaoyuan said indifferently: "Don't panic, it's the Guards Army coming!"
"Wei Suo Army?" Meng Zhaoxiang, Wu Linzheng and other officials looked at each other again.
Zhu Gaoyuan not only knew that it was the Wei Suo Army who came, but also knew that it was the Wei Suo Army of Suiyang Guard.
As expected, Suiyang Guards General Ding Qiguang must have gotten the news and rushed over with his army.
Ding Qiguang is the brother of the late Ding Qirui, the governor of Shaanxi Province. Ding Kuichu, the governor of Huguang and Henan in the Ming Dynasty, is also Ding Qiguang's uncle. Therefore, Ding Qiguang's surrender to Dashun was completely forced and helpless. As long as he was given a chance, he would definitely do it anyway. Historically, he did follow Sang.
Anyway, the first one will be held, but the time will be a little later than now.
In this time and space, due to the appearance of Zhu Gaoyuan, the meeting between the two of them was advanced.
Zhu Gaoyuan's judgment was quickly confirmed. It was really Ding Qiguang's Suiyang Guards Corps who came, and Chen Qianfu, who had just become the censor of the Henan patrol, also came back with him.
Ding Qiguang also imitated the ancients and carried a bundle of thorn sticks, which meant carrying the thorn sticks to apologize.
"Ding Qiguang, the guilty minister, kowtows to the Holy Lord Jin An." When he came to Zhu Gaoyuan, Ding Qiguang bowed his head and bowed.
This is another war scumbag similar to Xu Dingguo. He relies on running to fight, but he is a thief when he drinks soldiers' blood. However, Zhu Gaoyuan had to hold his nose to deal with it, and finally made a viscount and took him with him.
Zhu Gaoyuan is getting better and better at playing this routine of rising up and falling down secretly.
The separated guard troops were naturally handed over to Chen Qianfu, the patrol censor, to rectify and select them.
After some exchanges between the king and his ministers, Sang Kaidi also left the city with dry food and fodder, and even wine. This meal made Qian Yiding feel a little happy.
…
The Yiding people were in a good mood.
But the Donglin Party bosses far away in Nanjing felt very troubled.
Even the food and drinks at Liubiju and the performance by Li Xiangjun, a famous prostitute in Meixiang Tower, were not that attractive. If it were normal times, they would have to comment on everything and then write poems and so on.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and Li Xiangjun's singing stopped abruptly.
However, it was Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle of the army in the capital, who was the governor and admiral of Caojiang, and placed the wine glass heavily on the table.
Even though Liu Kongzhao is an earl and is in charge of the troops of the remaining army, when the country is at peace, he is nothing in the eyes of the civil servants, and a seventh-grade official with real power can easily control him.
Especially those who are officials of science and education, a memorial can make Liu Kongzhao clamp his tail.
But things are different now. The whereabouts of Emperor Chongzhen and his three heirs are now unknown, and the state machine has in fact come to a standstill. Without the endorsement of the state machine, civilian officials are seven points lower than the generals who hold military power.
Therefore, Liu Kongzhao dared to pretend to be a human being in front of all the civil servants of the Donglin Party.
"This matter has been discussed for a whole day. The venue has also been changed from the Admiral's Yamen to the Liudu Guards Yamen, and then to the current Meixiang Building. I have also drank a lot of wine. Isn't it time for a result?"
After saying that, Liu Kongzhao put his hand on his waist and looked at the civil servants murderously.
Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and other Donglin Party bosses frowned.
Qian Qianyi, the former Minister of Rites, who was invited to participate in the discussion, subconsciously wanted to leave.
But Liu Kongzhao didn't want to let Qian Qianyi go, so he blocked the entrance of Meixiang Building in a flash.
"Everyone." Liu Kongzhao said coldly, "The current situation is urgent. The country cannot be without a king for a day. As an important minister of the court, we will make a decision today. King Fu will be established in order. Anyone who dares to dissent will die!"
Qian Qianyi was the first to give in decisively: "I think it's okay."
