On the way, Yuzhu was tired, so he found a teahouse and sat down to rest.
Yuzhu sat drinking tea, and Wang Qiqi sat sideways to accompany him. The rest of the Jiangxi officials had no seats, so they had to stand aside and wait according to their rank.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!
It's a blessing to be able to stand in front of Yuzhu, who is about to proclaim himself emperor!
The imperial court's newspaper had already made it clear that the 300,000 Manchu and Mongolian allied troops were defeated by 50,000 new troops.
If you still don't believe it, the 30,000 new troops who gathered in southern Jiangxi drove Nian Gengyao to a pulp and scared him so much that he did not dare to leave the mountain. This is a living example.
All the officials present knew that no force in the entire Qing Dynasty could stop Yuzhu from proclaiming himself emperor.
Only be a powerful minister, not an emperor?
Hey, don't be ridiculous, Tong Jia's reputation has spread all over the country.
The Qing Dynasty has declined, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Tong family will replace it!
Trying to win Jane's heart as the new king is better than anything else!
Yuzhu picked up a sunflower seed, "Gah." After breaking it, he licked it with his tongue, and the melon seed kernel was sucked into his mouth.
The local officials in Jiangxi secretly saw Yuzhu cracking melon seeds without regard for dignity, and they were very surprised.
The True Dragon Emperor shouldn't be so casual, right?
"Gah." Yuzhu knocked another sunflower seed, chewed it carefully, then slowly picked up the tea cup and sipped it carefully.
At this moment, everyone saw that Yuzhu was not here to rest, maybe he had an ulterior motive?
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from below the teahouse.
The rumble of horse hooves lasted for a quarter of an hour.
Jiangxi's chief envoy and inspector-general stayed in the provincial capital on weekdays. Naturally, they had no idea where the cavalry team wanted to go.
However, the prefect of Ganzhou and the magistrate of Ganxian County could tell that the direction the cavalry was heading was towards the Bajingtai.
After a while, shouts suddenly came from the street, "Martial law has been enforced. Martial law has been enforced. All idlers must stay where they are and are not allowed to move. Anyone who dares to move rashly will be shot without mercy."
The dense footsteps resounded throughout Ganzhou City.
In the teahouse, the Ganzhou officials who were serving Yuzhu all looked at each other, confused, and had no idea what was going on.
However, at this moment, Wang Qiqin, who was holding the tea cup, suddenly started shaking violently with his hands, and the tea lid shook violently, making a surprising squeaking sound.
Yuzhu put down the tea cup and asked Wang Qiqin with a smile: "Brother Biyuan, why do you teach me now that things have happened?"
Wang Qiqin tremblingly put down the tea cup that he could no longer hold. He suddenly stood up, plucked up the courage and said loudly: "I don't regret dying, I can only hate it. God will not bless our Qing Dynasty. The rebellious officials and traitors are too cunning.
I don’t plan to sell it.”
Yuzhu looked at Wang Qiqi very interestingly, well, he is indeed a shaven, loyal, filial and righteous scholar!
The Qing Dynasty was about to fall, but Wang Qiqin still wanted to risk his life to protect it, and wanted to lure the jade pillar to hook him.
To be honest, since Wang Qiqin dared to set a trap to kill Yuzhu, he must have been prepared to die for the Qing Dynasty!
"Pull them down and punish the three clans!" Yuzhu was not a soft-hearted man and a believer, so he immediately ordered the arrest of Wang Qicheng.
The crime of rebellion is a heinous crime and the five tribes should be punished!
Yuzhu only killed three members of the Wang family, which was considered an advantage to Wang Qicheng.
"You traitor and traitor, you will not die well, God will not bless you!" After Wang Qiqi was afraid, he was no longer afraid. On the way to be taken away, he kept yelling at Yuzhu.
Yuzhu just acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't even look at the earth-colored local Jiangxi officials. He just drank tea and cracked melon seeds.
Today, Yuzhu will be here, waiting for an old acquaintance to meet again after a long absence.
It has been nearly eighty years since the Qing army entered the customs.
Over the years, starting from the first year of Shunzhi, the Aixinjueluo family has established the rules for selecting scholars through the imperial examination, namely: the rural examination in the year Ziwu and Maoyou, and the general examination in the year Chenxuchou.
The Qing court had been raising scholars for nearly eighty years, and Yuzhu was not surprised at all to have a loyal dog like Wang Qicheng.
You must know that the early Qing Dynasty was not the late Qing Dynasty after the failure of the New Deal.
At this time, the power of the Eight Banners soldiers who entered the pass and killed people was still there, and the favor of raising scholars through the imperial examinations also benefited all those who had achieved fame.
The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty, and scholars starting from the scholar level enjoyed many privileges.
Naturally, there are not many remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who want to clean up their houses and are afraid of having their pigtails cut off.
About half an hour later, Zhang Qin, the commander of the security guard, personally escorted a large group of prisoners who were tied up to see Yuzhu.
Yuzhu raised his eyes and looked, oh, the first one standing was Wu Zhongxiao, the eunuch leader next to Lao Shisan.
Wu Zhongxiao and Yuzhu are really old acquaintances!
Long before Kangxi deposed the crown prince, Lao Shisan was imprisoned in Yuzhu's other courtyard.
At that time, the person who accompanied Old Thirteen and served him personally was Wu Zhongxiao.
Yuzhu stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, walked to Wu Zhongxiao, and asked him with a smile: "Old Wu, you and Brother Thirteen must have been waiting for me on the Bajing Platform for a long time, right?"
Wu Zhongxiao spent his days hanging out among the major palaces in the capital. Of course he knew that if he was captured this time, he would definitely die.
"Master Zhu, I am about to die. Let me tell you the truth. The Thirteenth Master once saved your life." Wu Zhongxiao said dejectedly, "After Prince Yong heard the news that you had faked your death, he immediately guessed
You will go to the New Army Camp when you arrive, so I ordered Thirteenth Master in advance to bring thousands of kilograms of explosives and ambush at the place where you must pass by to the New Army Camp."
"Later, you did come. The Thirteenth Master said that he owed you so many favors that he couldn't bear to kill you himself, so he ordered the villain to stab a horse in the butt with a knife..."
"It's just that Thirteenth Master regrets it so much now. I shouldn't have reminded you in the first place." Wu Zhongxiao said bitterly, "You're still Cao Cao!"
When Yuzhu heard this, he thought, no wonder he saw a frightened horse running wildly on the way to the new army camp.
This is the right number!
At that time, Lao Shisan was willing to take the initiative to let him go, but he must have never expected that Yuzhu actually wanted to usurp the Qing Dynasty!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If he had known about Yuzhu’s evil thoughts, there would be no way that Old Thirteen would let Yuzhu go no matter what he said.
However, Wu Zhongxiao was only half right. As for the other half, only Yuzhu and Wu Sidao knew.
"Hey, Brother Thirteen is indeed a clever guy. He actually escaped being rounded up by thousands of people?" Yuzhu didn't see Old Thirteen being kidnapped, so how could he not understand in his heart? Old Thirteen realized something was wrong and went ahead of time.
Slip away.
There were nine people in total arrested by Zhang Qin.
These people were all the confidants around Lao Shisan. They were either personal soldiers who had followed him for many years, or they were his personal long-term followers.
Yuzhu had some doubts in his heart, so he smiled and asked Wu Zhongxiao: "Old Wu, to be honest, I have always been curious. You can't get close to me, so how can you attack me?"
Wu Zhongxiao knew that he would die, so if he held Yuzhu here for a little longer, Old Thirteen would have a little more chance of survival.
"Master Thirteen has prepared several large barrels of tung oil in advance and tied them to the eaves of the roof. As soon as you enter the Bajingtai, the dead men who have been ambushing on the roof will light the tung oil and devour the entire Bajingtai.
"
Hey, after hearing Wu Zhongxiao's explanation, Yuzhu couldn't help but shudder. What a vicious method!
Alas, the good brothers who were once have turned against each other because of their different paths!
After Yuzhu cleared up his confusion, he raised his hand and patted Wu Zhongxiao's right shoulder, and said gently: "Brother Thirteen treats me lovingly and righteously, and I will not treat him badly. Old Wu, your truth has saved the world."
Your lives. I won’t kill you, but I can’t let you go. Just spend the rest of your life in prison.”
"Take them all down and interrogate them carefully." Yuzhu turned around and sat back down.
"Yes." Zhang Qin waved his hand, and the guards immediately swarmed up and dragged Wu Zhongxiao and others away.
Such a big change occurred on the territory of Jiangxi. The Jiangxi Fanzhen Second Division and the local officials who were standing aside were all frightened and their faces were pale, and their calves were trembling.
Yuzhu drank another half cup of tea, then beckoned the Jiangxi vassal to him, and said calmly: "I heard that your official reputation in Jiangxi is not bad, so you can temporarily act as the governor of Jiangxi."
The feudal lord, Liu Mingjiu, originally thought that he was doomed this time.
Who would have thought that a pie falling from the sky would hit him on the head.
"Thank you so much for your grace, Your Majesty. How dare I not do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness?" Liu Mingjiu quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times in excitement.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw Liu Mingjiu performing the ritual of "face-to-face". He was also a very smart man!
Kneeling down and professing your vassalship means that you have completely drawn a clear line with the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, officials all over the world have only three options to take.
Either surrender to Yuzhu, remain loyal to the Qing Dynasty, or simply resign and go back to growing sweet potatoes.
This problem of taking sides is extremely serious.
Those who obey will prosper, and those who go against will perish. There is no room for being a mere wallflower.
Yuzhu stood up slowly and said, half jokingly, half seriously: "Since you are grateful for my kindness, why don't you cut off your braids?"
After saying these words, Yuzhu walked away surrounded by guards.
When he sent Yuzhu off respectfully, Liu Mingjiu suddenly discovered that there was indeed no big braid on the back of Yuzhu's head.
After sending away Yuzhu, Liu Mingjiu did not dare to be careless and immediately lectured the Jiangxi officials.
Liu Mingjiu knew better than anyone else that whether to cut his braids or not was the first question Yuzhu gave him.
"My dear brothers, you are all sensible people. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although the Qing Dynasty is still there, the country has collapsed." Liu Mingjiu said in a difficult way, "Leave your braids on and leave no gaps. Please consider it carefully."
one time."
Liu Mingjiu's meaning has been made very clear.
The so-called "leaving the braid without leaving anything behind" means that among the people present, anyone who refuses to cut off the braid will lose his current official position.
What does it mean to stand in line?
This is standing in line.
If you want to continue to support the house cleaning, you can, but you can take off your hat yourself and go wherever you like.
If you want to keep your hair and not lose your real power as an official, which side should you take?
