Gao Jie took the lead, and the others were not far behind. They hurriedly tried to persuade them to come forward. For a while, they actually blocked the public trial, and the whole Nanjing was instantly noisy.
Regarding this matter, the Donglin Party was naturally unwilling to lag behind. Almost the entire South Zhili took action, and hundreds of copies were densely packed, which can be said to be shocking.
As a result, King Yu's anger and fear were aroused even more, and the search department's pace accelerated.
At this moment, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and Lu Daqi came over.
Gao Hongtu was in Kuaiji, Jiang Yueguang was in Nanchang, and Lu Daqi was in Zhejiang. It was a long and tiring journey.
However, no matter how hard you work, all the fatigue disappears when you arrive in Nanjing.
"I didn't expect that it would be King Yu in the end!"
Gao Hongtu looked at the majestic Nanjing City and was filled with emotion.
Lu Daqi pondered: "The desire to cultivate in Huguang, defeat the intruders and drive out the Western thieves is a great achievement. It is natural for him to come to Nanjing."
"In these troubled times, in the final analysis, we still have to rely on the army."
"However, I heard that Gao Jie of Xuzhou also obeyed King Yu. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
Jiang Yueguang on the side frowned and said: "Such arrogant and domineering people should be wiped out."
"Hey, one moment and another!" Lu Daqi said softly: "Today's imperial court's life and death enemy is still the Manchu slave slaves. Gao Jie's foundation is unstable and not worth mentioning."
Several people nodded slightly in agreement.
If before Nanjing was captured, they still had illusions about the Manchus, but now that Emperor Hongguang was captured, everything was shattered.
After entering the city, before the three of them had time to rest, they were summoned by King Yu.
Zhu Yixi squinted her eyes and looked at these three people. Their elegant demeanor could easily break people's hearts.
Sure enough, ugly people can't be high officials at all.
"Although I have returned to Nanjing, I am still terrified and unable to sleep peacefully at night. I wonder who can teach me?"
King Yu finally spoke.
Moreover, there was a look of eagerness for talents in his words.
"Your Highness, I have been here for a long time, but I only know one thing about military affairs."
Lu Daqi raised his head and said with some excitement: "Nanjing has been newly restored, but the place is not stable, and ambitious people have emerged in large numbers.
His Highness needs to recruit troops and buy horses to stabilize Southern Zhili as much as possible, so that he can save half of the country for the Northern Expedition."
Zhu Yixi nodded slightly, what he said made sense.
On the sidelines, Jiang Yueguangze said a commonplace: "The imperial government is corrupt, and corrupt officials appear again and again. If we want to appease the people, in addition to the army, the most important thing is to refresh the government."
"Removing excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes will make the people happy and ambitious people will naturally be powerless."
Compared with the other two, Gao Hongtu's political ability is sharp and his personality is both round and square. After careful consideration, he said calmly:
"In my opinion, if the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct. The most important thing now is for His Highness to make a memorial to the Ancestral Temple and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to show the legitimacy of the world."
"orthodox!"
Zhu Yixi glanced at the three people with bright eyes.
But these three people were not afraid, held their chests high, and looked full of righteousness.
Compared with other Donglin Party members, these three people did not surrender to the Manchus and were considered clean.
Throughout history, we have constantly fought and never surrendered.
He has the ability, but he is very selfish.
If he were to explain his goals, the one that shocked him the most was the party struggle.
In the Hongguang Dynasty alone, the Donglin Party itself had fights between the Lu faction and the Fu faction, as well as Fushe, and the battles between several societies.
The Manchus were naturally not afraid. They themselves were Manchus occupying the upper echelons, and there were surrendered civil servants available, so the Donglin Party was not a concern.
But Zhu Yixi was different. No matter how many officials there were in the shogunate, they could not fill all the places in Jiangnan.
Therefore, we must fight against the Donglin Party.
And the treason case is his method.
"What you said is true, and I have benefited a lot."
After saying that, Zhu Yixi stood up and said kindly: "I hope to stay in Nanjing to help the Ming Dynasty."
The three of them smiled and bowed.
The names of the king and his ministers have been decided.
The three of them left the place where King Yu temporarily lived and went to Qian Qianyi's residence.
There, a banquet was already held to welcome the three of them.
…
On the other side, Sun Changzhou walked vigorously to Nanjing Jinyiwei Yamen.
Compared with the search department that lives in a corner, the Jinyiwei, which was built since the Hongwu period, looks particularly spacious and majestic.
Especially the formidable Beizhen Fusi, who was responsible for edicts and prisons.
"Commander!" At this time, Wu Bangfu, who once served as the commander of Fusi in North Town of Beijing and is now the commander of Jinyiwei, bent down to welcome Sun Changzhou's arrival.
Sun Changzhou and others had already changed into Feiyu uniforms, which were no different from ordinary Jinyi guards.
The remaining 100 or so Jinyi guards all had a respectful attitude and smiles on their faces.
Sun Changzhou looked at the somewhat embarrassed Jin Yiwei, then at the Yamen, and sighed:
"Jinyiwei is back again."
"That's right, the commander is here, and the day when the Jin Yiwei will regain its reputation is not far away."
Wu Bangfu said with a flattering smile.
"His Highness knows that you fled south from Beijing and refused to surrender. You are still loyal."
Sun Changzhou did not comment and said calmly: "Therefore, from now on, you will serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei and assist me in commanding the Jinyiwei."
"I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness!" Wu Bangfu's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears of gratitude.
As he spoke, he swept through the crowd and said, "Although you have no merit, you still have hard work. You will all be promoted to one level and receive a salary of three months.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
The royal guards kowtowed one after another, feeling happy in their hearts.
As he said that, Sun Changzhou clapped his hands and said immediately: "These lists are the people we want to arrest. Considering the lack of manpower, I specially asked Desire to mobilize 500 brothers from the Military Justice Department to help."
"In three hours, I want everyone on the list to be brought to justice and live in prison."
"This?" Looking at this thin roster, Wu Bangfu's face was shocked and turned pale immediately.
I saw that the number one ranking was Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, followed by Bao Guo Gong Zhu Guobi, Wei Guo Gong Xu Wenjue...
Even in the back, he saw Wang Duo, Cai Yichen, the great scholar, Qian Qianyi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Zhan, the imperial censor of Zuodu, and other officials.
This thin roster almost wiped out the entire top management of Nanjing.
"Does it look familiar?"
Sun Changzhou had a sneer on his face and his voice was loud:
"After several days of investigation by the Military Justice Department, these people opened the city to welcome thieves, were treasonous, disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, and had no sense of shame. They will all be arrested under the orders of the Supervisor..."
"I humbly accept my order!"
Wu Bangfu took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"That's good!"
Sun Changzhou nodded and used the provocation method: "The Jinyi Guards have been in decline for many years. Both the King of Yu and I want to see if the hawks and dogs of the past can chase rabbits and serve the country today."
Although this trick is old-fashioned, it works.
The Jinyi guards raised their heads and chests high one by one, full of fighting spirit.
As Nanjing's local gangsters, no one knows these powerful people better than them.
