Chapter 177: I am in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han Dynasty
Si Fangbo seemed to have forgotten that there were obviously more people on the other side than himself.
He was very surprised, why would these people obey the orders of a hundred households?
I am the commander!
Counting down, there are also commanders, commanders, generals, thousand households, deputy thousand households, and then it is the turn of hundreds of households.
If there is a meeting of high-level military officers, like Chen Weisong, they are not even qualified to observe.
What happened today...
"What are you doing? You fucking don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Si Fangbo immediately showed his authority as a commander. In the past, these people would have been obedient and would not even dare to show off.
However, today it seemed like they had seen a ghost. Everyone stood quietly, unmoved at all.
"Zhang Qianhu, are you also fooling around?"
Si Fangbo turned his spear and targeted one of them, a Qianhu named Zhang.
It stands to reason that this person is two levels higher than Chen Weisong, so it is impossible to listen to him anyway.
"I'm sorry, Sir Commander. Sir Chen is the acting Commander appointed by the Emperor. We are acting according to the order, and I hope you will forgive me!"
Si Fangbo was stunned, what the hell, Your Majesty?
The emperor is far away in the capital, how can he have anything to do with this small household?
To say the least, even if there is an imperial edict, it is for me as the commander. How could it be the turn of a small household like you? It is simply unbelievable!
"I don't care who you meet, and I don't care what bullshit imperial edict is. I order you now to take down the following criminal Chen Weisong immediately!"
After Si Fangbo finished speaking, he looked around and no one moved.
The situation seems to be more serious than I imagined.
Is there really an imperial edict?
Impossible!
"Zhang Qianhu, are you deaf?"
Si Fangbo started yelling filial piety almost crazily, but the people around him remained indifferent.
Chen Weisong came forward and said in a deep voice: "Si Fangbo, what did you just say?"
Si Fangbo stared at him, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire.
You usually command me one by one, but now you dare to call me by his first name!
"I said, take down this offending thing like you!"
"That's not the sentence."
Chen Weisong shook his head and continued: "The previous sentence."
"What...last sentence?"
"Are you talking about some bullshit imperial edict?"
Si Fangbo was suddenly stunned. Did I say that?
Chen Weisong smiled and said: "Si Fangbo, the commander of the Nanjing Zuowei Guards, is ungrateful and treasonous. Come on, take it down!"
"You...you dare?"
Si Fangbo hurriedly retreated, but a group of soldiers led by Chen Qianhu had surrounded him, leaving him with no way out.
Beside him, the soldiers came forward to greet him. Although they were not many in number, they were very powerful.
Chen Weisong shouted: "Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Qianhu taking the lead, raising his knife and slashing it.
The scene was very chaotic. After a period of fighting, all the soldiers brought by Si Fangbo were lying on the ground. He was also held down tightly and struggled hard. However, a bright steel knife was placed on his neck and he immediately stopped.
.
Xiao Rongxing huddled aside, trembling, not knowing what to do.
Chen Weisong stood in front of Si Fangbo and said, "Si Fangbo, do you know your guilt?"
Si Fangbo's teeth were almost broken, his body couldn't help shaking, and he said: "Chen Weisong, I can't spare you!"
Chen Weisong smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid you have no chance!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a knife and chopped it off with all his strength.
Si Fangbo's head fell to the ground, blood spurted out, and his body slowly fell limply to the ground.
Xiao Rongxing was shocked. His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't speak.
Really cut it, really...
"Xiao Tongzhi!"
Chen Weisong came to him with a knife, squatted down slowly, and said: "Si Fangbo slandered the emperor and was treasonous. Should he be killed?"
"Should...should be killed..."
Xiao Rongxing felt all his strength drained from his body, and heat flowed out from between his buttocks. He didn't even know what he was talking about, and all his reactions were subconscious.
"In that case, how about asking Xiao Tongzhi to write a memorial and describe what happened?"
"No... no problem, I'll write, I'll write..."
"About Xiao Tongzhi ignoring military discipline and leaving the camp without permission..."
"I think it's my problem. Please...please... Mr. Chen, please see that I have worked hard without any merit over the years, and give me a chance..."
Chen Weisong nodded and said: "We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. I won't make it difficult for you. I will report everything that happened tonight truthfully. As for how the court will deal with it, it depends on your destiny."
Xiao Rongxing forced a smile and collapsed to the ground.
Chen Weisong stood up, looked at the fish belly white that appeared in the east, and ordered: "Everyone listen, gather immediately, and set off in half an hour to assist the emperor in suppressing the rebellion!"
…………
The entire city of Nanjing is under lockdown, and Jin Yiwei is arresting people everywhere.
According to Mei Linrong's confession, the White Lotus Sect has internal agents in the six departments, the Wucheng Military and Horse Department and other yamen.
Some even hold high official positions and have a decisive say.
Together, these people are enough to control half of the Nanjing court.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the list with a very ugly face.
Imagine that if they succeed, Huai'an will be in chaos first, and then the main force of Japanese pirates will raid Nanjing. In addition, there will be so many people in the city to support them, and the city of Nanjing will really be lost!
Twelve high-ranking civil servants and generals were tied up and kneeled in front of Zhu Qizhen.
At this time, their faces were ashen and they knew that they were finished.
I thought that the city of Nanjing was under control, but unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly appeared and the situation immediately reversed.
We agreed that the Japanese pirates would attack, but they did come, but they slaughtered our own people.
The promised rebellion of the 100,000 people in Huai'an Prefecture was brewing for a long time, but in the end not even a single one was brewed.
"I...I know that I am guilty..."
The person speaking was Xiong Zhongjian, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, who was planned to be responsible for opening the city gates to the Japanese pirates.
Moreover, the Chinese Army Governor's Office is responsible for the defense of the inner city and can surround the Forbidden City at any time.
Zhu Qizhen was not familiar with Xiong Zhongjian. He only knew that his ancestors had made military exploits and that the position of governor was hereditary.

"Even now, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you don't want to implicate the nine tribes, you can explain yourself!"
Xiong Zhongjian raised his head with difficulty and took a look, but then lowered his head as if he was electrocuted.
He has realized that in the face of the emperor's absolute strength, everything he has done is so ridiculous.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... have mercy..."
Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and said: "Am I still the emperor in Nanjing City? Isn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty here the Prince Jianwen?"
These words were filled with inexplicable irony, but they also conveyed the meaning that all those involved, and all those related to Jianwen Crown Prince Zhu Wenkui, must die!
This matter has touched the dragon's reverse scale, and there is no room for maneuver.
Xiong Zhongjian no longer knew what to say, he knew he was dead.
Zhu Wenkui, on the other hand, wanted to stand up straight with all his strength, and then cursed a few times for being foolish.
However, he felt as if his body didn't obey his orders. Why did his legs and feet... bend on their own?
Even his own mouth opened on its own initiative and said: "Your Majesty, the common people are not the prince, but Mei Linrong. It was he who forced the common people to pretend to be some kind of prince. The common people are ignorant, the common people are Hu Tu... Hu Tu..." As he spoke, he was beating his chest and feeling overwhelmed with grief.
Everyone's little hearts, which were already cold, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Emperor Jianwen was originally the heir appointed by Emperor Taizu, but was later killed by Zhu Di when he launched an army to suppress the emperor.
But in name, Zhu Di rebelled and usurped the throne.
At the beginning, Zhu Wenkui was less than three years old and was of authentic royal blood. Although he failed to seize power today, he was justified. However, you just gave in and said that you were a fake. This is hard to accept.<
/p>
With just one word from you, the whole thing changed its nature, and everyone's efforts became in vain.
Let's bite the bullet and fight for it. Although we can't win, at least we can stir up some splashes.
Now it's better, the stone is sinking into the sea, and not even a ripple can be seen.
Zhu Wenkui was still crying and complaining about Mei Linrong's crime with a face full of remorse. He didn't know whether he was crying for his future fate or because he really felt regret in his heart.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed. They originally thought that at this time, everyone could stand up and scold Zhu Qizhen severely.
After all, the descendants of you, Mr. Zhu Laosi, are sitting in this position and have come from a wrong background.
Well now, the clown is actually ourselves...
Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen seemed to have lost interest and sat back on the dragon chair.
"I know everything here clearly, so you should stop pretending. Isn't it just rebellion? There is nothing wrong with rebellion? It seems that there is no one in this world who doesn't rebel!"
After saying these words, everyone looked puzzled again.
"I thought back then, Emperor Taizong also rebelled? But at that time, Emperor Jianwen was the first to use the knife, cutting off the vassal and killing several people. If he didn't rebel, he could only stretch his neck and wait for the knife! If someone suddenly used a knife
Pointing at you, will you let others slaughter you?"
Everyone suddenly felt cold sweat dripping down their backs, "Yao Shou, how dare you say that Zhu Laosi started out as a rebel?
How dare you say this?
Zhu Qizhen looked disapproving and continued: "However, I didn't put a knife on your necks. Why did you rebel? If it is a disaster year and the people can't survive and have to rebel, I can still be considerate.
, but what about you, you have good food and clothing every day, and the money at home is enough to enjoy you for ten lifetimes, and you still want to rebel?"
"Tell me how you rebelled!"
Zhu Qizhen seemed to be interested and began to talk.
"If you want to rebel, you must at least have a detailed and careful plan. But you, a group of rabble, without any ability to react when encountering trouble, use conspiracies and tricks to achieve a great cause, but do not know how to bribe the people. Do you think this can be done? You can do it.
My ministers are doing nothing but eating nothing every day, and they are rebels, and their performance is not very good. What a failure!"
These words are full of sarcasm, which is simply disrespectful.
But fortunately, when things got to this point, no one wanted to lose face.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally, someone spoke.
"Your Majesty is gracious to me, and I have no intention of turning back. I receive the favor of the country, and everything I think about every day is to fulfill my duties loyally to Your Majesty. My loyalty can be learned from every day, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Qizhen followed the reputation and found out that it was Xiong Zhongjian, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army.
Why is this person...so shameless?
It stands to reason that since he is a military commander, he should at least show a strong-willed appearance.
"Can we learn from the sun?"
When Zhu Qizhen heard Qian Qianyi's words, he was really ironic beyond words.
"I have worked hard these years to serve the emperor, serve the Ming Dynasty, and guard Nanjing. I can learn from this in the future!"
Zhu Qizhen immediately said: "You are plotting rebellion, what should I say now?"
The ministers kneeling on the ground now had a glow on their backs.
And the fear of Zhu Qizhen has taken over everything.
Xiong Zhongjian burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty... Lao Chen Hu Tu..."
Gritting my teeth...
It seems that I know that if I continue to deny it at this point, I will only continue to become a joke.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and asked: "Is it just Hutu?"
Xiong Zhongjian hurriedly said: "I am loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. However, the White Lotus Cult in Jiangnan has too deep roots. If I don't agree to them, they will definitely find a way to get rid of me. Therefore, I have to pretend to be a snake. I thought
I was looking for an opportunity to secretly report to the emperor, but before I had time... just... just..."
Zhu Qizhen laughed and asked: "You mean, you are now in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han?"
"Yes, yes, that's what it means!"
Xiong Zhongjian nodded repeatedly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Fuck your mother!"
Zhu Qizhen stood up, pointed at Xiong Zhongjian and said: "You think I don't know how much money you have received from the White Lotus Sect over the years?"
Xiong Zhongjian's face twitched and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is all a temporary measure. The White Lotus Sect has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. They usually ask me to take care of them when they have something to do. If I help once, there will be a second and third time.
...to...to...to..."
"Even to what?"
Zhu Qizhen stared at Xiong Zhongjian and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"As a result... I have done a lot of Hutu things and accepted their filial piety. They sometimes sell some things that are prohibited by the imperial court, and they are also approved by the minister as a guide, and..."
He talks about all the treasures in his family.
Zhu Qizhen laughed angrily and asked in a joking tone: "Could it be that these are your expedient measures?"
"Why don't I know that these things I do are harmful to the country? I don't have the shamelessness of these damn clean people. No matter what they do, they know how to set up a chastity arch to make these things justifiable. These things are wrong.
It's a mistake. I have nothing to say. It's just that the emperor suddenly wants to impose a sea ban. If this happens, some things must be hidden. I am worried... worried..."
"Are you worried that I will raid your home?"
Xiong Zhongjian was choked with tears and could not speak.
Zhu Qizhen's expression gradually darkened and he said, "Then I will fulfill your wish and come!"
Fan Zhong replied: "I'm here!"
Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "Xiong Zhongjian, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, was executed in a hurry, all the family property was confiscated, and the nine tribes were executed!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiong Zhongjian rolled his eyes and jerked away.
