Chapter 57 Killing Zhang Wenda of the Donglin Party
Chapter 57 Killing Zhang Wenda of the Donglin Party
The Wei Dynasty was Wang An's confidant.
Most of the Wei Dynasty knew Wang An's plans in the palace.
When he left the palace to discuss with the Donglin Party, he mainly went by himself, but he also took Wei Chao with him.
His most important task for the Wei Dynasty was to keep an eye on the palace to collect "criminal evidence" of the prince, Li Xuanshi and Zheng Guifei, to detect whether Taichang died at the critical moment, and to respond to the loyal soldiers outside the Qianqing Palace.
It can be said that the Wei Dynasty was Wang An’s most core confidant.
Although he was unable to know the detailed layout of the Donglin Party outside the palace, he knew which chess pieces there were and which ones were moved.
In this way, he can guide the direction when making up rumors in the palace, and when meeting the loyal ministers and rebels at the critical moment, he can know who is his own.
As soon as Zhu Youxiao came through time travel, he was sure that Wang An's butt was crooked and he couldn't stay at all.
The Wei Dynasty was Wang An's confidant, so he was naturally among the targets.
But the Wei Dynasty can be won if it is not Wang An~
Seeing Wei Chao identifying the prince, Liu Yijing and Zhang Wenda's faces turned dark.
"Liu Ge is the key planner. Apart from Wang Wenyan and Yang Lian, he has contributed the most. There are also fake edicts that rely on him. Liu Ge must know most of the plans.
Zhang Yushi was creating public opinion in their favor, blocking the investigation and evidence that was unfavorable to them, and sent the censor patrolling the city to send troops to cooperate. Wang An, the traitor, told the slaves that the troops coming to the Qianqing Palace would have troops from five cities."
"Spite!" Zhang Wenda jumped up and roared.
"Wang An mistaken me!" Liu Yijing sighed.
"Poof!"
Zhang Wenda, who jumped up and roared, looked at the sharp sword piercing his chest, then raised his head in surprise: "How dare... the evil thief..."
"Poof!"
Zhu Youxiao pulled out the sword that had pierced Zhang Wenda with a strong pull.
"Zhang Wenda, you used rumors to kill Li Zhi and then came to harm us. You should have died long ago."
In his eyes, the Donglin Party is complicated.
There are stupid people like Yang Lian and Shi Kefa; there are people like Ye Xianggao and Liu Yijing who are manipulating officialdom; there are people like Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua who are loyal and knowledgeable about military matters; there are people like Gao Panlong and Liu Zongzhou who are talkative and trouble-making. There are young people like Lu Xiangsheng and Fan Jingwen who are attracted by righteousness.
But there are also a lot of scum!
The water is too cold, the one who takes the lead in surrendering to the Manchus, the one who controls water transportation to resist taxes, the one who plays power and is counterattacked, the one who poisons and murders those who disagree...
This Zhang Wenda is not well-known in the industry, but he can't argue with him. He killed Li Zhi on the charge of spreading rumors and weaving, which is a crime he can't wash away.
This is a typical example of the kind of stubborn conservative in Donglin who eradicates dissidents and fishes for fame.
I was pretending just now...
Stab to death with one sword~
"The great commander, Kou Wu, cut off Zhang Wenda's head and hung it on the Xi'an Gate to show the rebels who were about to enter the city from there. This is the end of the rebellion!"
Just as Huang Kezuan was about to take the order, he saw the prince raising his hand again, signaling to wait a moment.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and added: "After hanging the heads, order the Xi'an Gate defenders to retreat and rely on Beihai, Zhonghai and Shenwumen to be on guard. If you encounter the enemy, listen to my next order!"
"Yes!"
Huang Kezuan immediately ordered the Han general to cut off Zhang Wenda's head. He had fought in a war and knew that he had to stand up during the war. He quickly rushed to the outermost Xi'an Gate on the west side of the palace without fear.
Han Xu, the cabinet scholar, was standing next to Zhang Wenda just now.
He had never seen this scene before, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps away. Huang Kezuan raised his head and walked away just to catch his breath. He gasped for air but smelled the strong smell of blood, which almost made him gag.
This was before the blood even splashed on him, but he was already so frightened.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I did not participate. I obeyed His Majesty's will."
Zhu Youxiao's expression did not change, but comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Han Ge. If they hadn't wanted to start a rebellion, there would be no need to handle the matter like this. But now that Wang An, Liu Yijing and others have rebelled, Mr. Han Ge has not
Participation means not participating, but you need to come forward and tell some situations afterwards."
"I will give my full cooperation."
He dealt with Liu Yijing, the second assistant who had nothing to do.
"Mr. Liu Ge, why did Wang An mislead you but not others? Don't shirk responsibility and try to clear yourself of guilt."
"The guilty minister didn't dare. It was just that he was deceived by his rumors and was fooled."
Slip.
Very slick.
Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Yijing was still cheating. This could not erase his guilt, but it could delay time~
He didn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Yijing, an old man, and said to Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant: "Please ask the chief assistant, my master, to lead the royal guards and escort the guilty minister Liu Yijing to the East Palace and hand him over to the custody of Liu Qiao. Then please ask the chief assistant to go to Ci
Ning Gong, be prepared to lay mines to block the enemy."
"Yes, Prince, please rest assured." Fang Congzhe's loyalty is no problem. After the Prince removes Yang Lian and Sun Ruyou, he will no longer be constrained in his work.
"Boom!"
The cannon fire rang out again at the Meridian Gate, and the battle seemed to be more intense.
Wang An will supervise the battle at Meridian Gate now~
Just let Zheng Yangxing and him consume each other for a while.
Wait a minute.
Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes, and the chess board appeared in his mind.
It was your own plan just now. What if you turn the chessboard upside down and deal with yourself from the opponent's perspective?
If Wang An blocks Zheng Yangxing now, he will definitely lose blood. How long will he last?
That should be a sure way to control the palace.
Wang An will definitely defend the Meridian Gate. When the rebels enter the palace through Xi'an Gate and then control Xibian Gate and Xuanwu Gate in the north, he will give up guarding the Meridian Gate and rush back to control his father.
Of course, there is another plan.
If his father died, Wang An might not stop Zheng Yangxing from the front, retreat directly to join Liu Yijing, Zhu Chunchen and the rebels in the west, and directly issue a false edict.
Regardless of the two situations, after taking control of the palace, Zheng Yangxing's rebellion and the death of his father can be attributed to the Zheng family and me, and they can achieve their most desired goals.
In a battle on the chessboard, if you make a wrong move, you will be passive everywhere.
Zhu Youxiao doesn’t dare to make a mistake.
Since Wang An, the chess piece, is still waiting for the opportunity, it is better to let him die when he sees the opportunity.
He looked at Han Xu and Wei Chao who were still present: "Please, Mr. Han Ge, together with Eunuch Wei Chao, send a message to Wang An. This matter will only be effective if you come forward."
Zhu Youxiao called Han Xu and Wei Chao to his side: "May I inform Wang An that my father died of illness."
"...Huh?"
Han Xu was shocked. Is this a big lie? Lying about His Majesty's death is a grave crime and disrespectful.
But this was what the prince said, and Wei Chao also looked at him expressionlessly.
Okay, maybe His Majesty really died of illness...
Han Xu convinced himself that he really thought that Emperor Taichang had passed away. His eyes were red and his expression was solemn and sad. This feeling came from the heart and no one could tell it was fake.
"Please be careful and act according to circumstances."
Han Xu and Wei Chao made some preparations and immediately went to the Meridian Gate.
