Chapter 80 Split and Reorganization of Donglin Party
"What's going on?"
Qian Qianyi frowned in anger, it was really disappointing at this happy moment.
"Hey, Qian Shangshu, no, it's Mr. Qian. I'm here to visit you. I'll forgive you."
Wu Bangfu came swaggering with arrogance on his face, coupled with Jin Yiwei's flying fish uniform, it could be said that he deserved a beating.
It's a pity that since Chongzhen, the existence of Jinyiwei has been too weak, and no one is afraid of it.
"Commander Wu, I didn't invite you here!"
Qian Qianyi said coldly.
"You didn't invite me, but His Highness Prince Yu ordered me to come. What should I do?"
Wu Bangfu showed a proud smile.
At this time, everyone present was shocked and couldn't help but retreat.
"Hey, everyone is here."
As he said that, he raised his head, swept across the crowd, and said cheerfully:
"After investigation, a group of people led by Qian Qianyi are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. His Highness the Supervisor of the State has approved it, and Jin Yiwei will arrest them."
As he spoke, he actually took out a piece of paper and read in front of everyone: "Everything you said will become evidence in court~~~"
"impossible."
Wang Duo couldn't help shouting: "Isn't your highness afraid of chaos in the south of the Yangtze River? It must be you who falsely conveyed the decree---"
"False message?" Wu Bangfu shook his head and said: "With just a few of you, thirty or forty people, how could Jiangnan be in chaos?"
After saying that, he emphasized again: "Only punish the first culprit, and let the others be forgotten."
"Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo, Li Zhan..."
As the names of the people were read out one by one, people realized that these were actually the group of people who welcomed the British Prince Azig. They were all ministers of the six ministries and cabinet ministers of the Hongguang Dynasty.
Those with lower official positions will not get their turn at all.
Now, everyone's thoughts are intriguing.
Only after leaving this group of veterans can they have a chance to rise to power.
"Although the Jinyi Guards have arrested people, if they are harmed in the slightest, I will definitely impeach you in front of King Yu."
At this time, Gao Hongtu suddenly took a step forward and said loudly.
For a time, the whole hall aroused applause.
Obviously, Gao Hongtu's operation was beneficial at no cost, but it won the hearts and minds of Donglin Party members, who wanted to fill the vacancy left by Qian Qianyi and others.
Qian Qianyi was in a bitter mood, damn Shandong guy, I knew he was unreliable.
If we had known what would happen today, why would we call them back?
"Everyone, please go on your way. Don't worry, Jin Yiwei will handle the case impartially."
Regarding Gao Hongtu and other unrelated people, especially after being interviewed by King Yu, Wu Bangfu was still a little wary, and his tone could not help but soften a lot.
Now, the good banquet turned out to be like this, and all the guests present were sighing.
However, it does not include Gao Hongtu and other three people.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Naturally, the banquet could not continue and ended immediately.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Hongtu and the three of them gathered together to taste delicious food and continue unfinished business.
"King Yu is very determined."
Jiang Yueguang sighed softly, with a long tone that made it difficult to hear his true meaning.
"Dozens of people were arrested like this. It is only the courage of the king to be a soldier."
Lu Daqi said in a deep voice: "Back then, the late emperor was suppressed by the vassal and was in a dilemma. As a result, Ma Shiying took charge of the government alone, and the situation was very bad..."
"The late emperor has passed away, and the city of Nanjing belongs to King Yu."
Gao Hongtu stopped his preaching, and a smile appeared on his face: "It can be seen from today's events that King Yu is extremely disgusted with the Donglin Party members. We have to think carefully about what to do next."
"The Donglin Party can't wait any longer."
"Party fighting harms the country."
Jiang Yueguang said angrily: "If it weren't for Chao Gang's injustice, how could the rest of us be squeezed out?"
"Haha!" Lu Daqi sneered: "Just because we are not from Nanzhili, how can we occupy high positions?"
"The same is true for Zhang Shenyan's departure to Huguang. Now it seems that he has made a good move!"
Gao Hongtu nodded and said: "In order to fight against the eunuchs, we had no choice but to enter Donglin. Today we have to put an end to it."
"You mean?" Jiang Yueguang frowned and exclaimed inexplicably: "The backlash is quite serious."
"Qian Qianyi and others are sent to prison, which is our opportunity."
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Gao Hongtu felt confident and said: "Let's take our time and take this opportunity to tap talents to compete with them."
Jiang and Lu nodded, their eyes bursting with fierce fireworks.
A few of them deeply understood that even if they surrendered again, they would not be integrated into the Donglin Party.
If this road is blocked, then find another way.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and the best for the future...
…
The big bosses of the Donglin Party were captured, and the limelight instantly overshadowed King Yu's persuasion to join.
When the society was restored, which was known as "Xiao Donglin" and "Si Donglin", the public opinion was almost boiling.
The Fushe was established in the second year of Chongzhen, with Jiangnan as the center. It was originally a literary society, but later gradually deformed and became the reserve organization of the Donglin Party.
Its participants are basically young talents, scholars, and candidates from Nanzhili, and their influence is even greater than that of the senior officials.
A group of young people gathered together. Because of their fame and prominent background, they broke into government offices without permission, resisted taxation, and were promoted to official positions.
It is also because of the existence of this group of people that the big boss of the county government office has almost become a puppet on a string.
Of course, the several societies with the same name are better at literature, and they complement each other and promote each other with Fushe, who is good at politics.
All in all, several societies were included in this gathering to restore society.
"The case of rebellion was the biggest move made by King Yu after he took over the country. The civil and military forces who surrendered that day were wiped out..."
Chen Cai, a member of the civil service and the founder of Fushe, said with a melancholy expression: "All the nobles and nobles have been wiped out."
Chen Zilong hesitated for a long time and then said: "But, this is indeed a stain."
These words immediately ushered in a moment of silence.
After all, Fushe is composed of scholars, and the scholarly business is strong. Although it is easy to be exploited, it also despises those who rebel.
Historically, when Nanjing was conquered, except for a few people who surrendered, most of them, such as Chen Zilong, either raised troops to fight or remained anonymous.
"We have to do something."
Seeing this situation, Hou Fangyu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Even if he is guilty, he should be tried by three courts instead of being arrested by the Jinyi Guards."
From this aspect, it does make some sense.
Jinyiwei is notorious and is very likely to be beaten into submission.
"What do we do?"
At this time, someone asked a question.
"Now that things have come to this, I can only go to the King of Yu in person to beg for mercy."
Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth, looked at the crowd, and said loudly: "Fushe and Donglin are one. If Donglin is in trouble, how can Fushe stay out of it?"
"The King of Yu is benevolent, as long as we sincerely plead, we will surely free all the gentlemen!"
"Okay, count me in!"
"I'm coming too!"
The crowd was furious, and countless people signed up at once.
Minorities such as Chen Zilong could only accept the offer and participate.
