Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters Wei Guogong on the table
Zhou Shu was also taken to see Qian Mengjiu a few days ago, and he also knew that Qian Mengjiu's status in the Puppet Tang Dynasty was that he belonged to a real cabinet minister.
He thought so not because Qian Mengjiu was the Minister of War, nor because he was a bachelor, but because Qian Mengjiu was the Minister of the Imperial Study.
It has been several years since the rise of the Tang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is familiar with most of the various official systems and policies of the Tang Dynasty. Some people even study them specifically. They know that the official system of the Tang Dynasty is somewhat special and not traditional.
Six, but as many as a dozen.
And also, although the title of minister in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty is also important, it is not a factor in measuring whether a minister is a true core minister, because there are more than a dozen ministers in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, and the monks in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty are basically
At the same level, there are censors on the left and right of the Supervisory Yuan, and there are also chief justices on the left and right of the Supreme Court, as well as ministers of various military ministries.
Basically, there are dozens of senior officials at the level of ministers and ministers.
As for the title of bachelor, it was different in the Puppet Tang Dynasty. Although three titles of bachelor were awarded in the early years, they were never awarded later. It is said that one of the bachelors, Wang Wenhua, was a famous scholar.
The minister is quite despised by all the officials of the fake Tang Dynasty. At the same time, this person has not yet entered the imperial study room for duty.
So now, even the officials in the Ming Dynasty know that to measure the awesomeness of a pseudo-Tang official, you need to see whether he has entered the imperial study room. The most awesome minister on duty, including civil and military officials, is not
There are only seven people, and their status is basically equivalent to that of the elders of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the dozen or so walking ministers have a status higher than that of ordinary ministers and ministers.
The central decision-making level of the Tang Dynasty was in the Imperial Study Room!
Zhou Shu was aware of this situation, so he also knew that the status of Qian Mengjiu, the minister on duty, was very important. When he first met Qian Mengjiu, he did not dare to show any contempt.
This kind of lack of contempt naturally does not mean that he will be humble. On the contrary, he just values Qian Mengjiu.
He was even mentally prepared to have a big debate with Qian Mengjiu, but Qian Mengjiu didn't talk to him for a long time at all. He just chatted briefly and briefly tested Zhou Shu's willingness to surrender.
Zhou Shu sent it away.
Zhou Shu was a little depressed to tell the truth!
This kind of depression is not because of anything else, but a feeling of depression caused by being despised and ignored.
After all, he was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Although this minister was a minister of Nanjing, he was still a minister.
Whether you want to kill him or persuade him, you have to show a serious attitude, so that he can make different choices according to the changes in many situations.
But now, Qian Mengjiu has left him alone, as if he has forgotten him, which makes him unable to adapt!
how to say!
Not used to it!
After having been in a high position for a long time, this suddenly became a dispensable role. Many people are not used to it and will always want to do something more, no matter whether it is good or bad.
But Zhou Shu didn't know that it wasn't that Qian Mengjiu didn't value him, but that Qian Mengjiu valued him in a special way.
At first Qian Mengjiu wanted to persuade this person to surrender, but after saying a few words, he was blocked by Zhou Shu. Moreover, Zhou Shu's attitude was very tough at the time, which made Qian Mengjiu feel that he had to say more.
Useless.
I thought this person was smelly and tough, so I simply ignored him.
However, using Zhou Shu to make a fuss will not stop because of Zhou Shu's own opposition.
When the time comes, forging a confession or confession from Zhou Shu and publishing it in the Tang Dynasty newspaper will still have good results. As for whether the confession is true or false, does that matter?
unimportant!
At that time, we can even forge one. After Zhou Shu writes a confession, he will then have a scene of committing suicide out of fear of guilt. In short, the Tang Dynasty has done this kind of thing many times, and it doesn't care to do it just once.
Anyway, what the Tang Dynasty wanted was political influence, and the life and death of Zhou Shu and his own true thoughts were actually unimportant.
But now Zhou Shu actually doesn’t know that yet.
He continued to live under house arrest. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, his life was a bit difficult. In desperation, he could only pass the time with calligraphy and painting. Fortunately, Datang took care of them, who were demoted.
The army officers did not embarrass these people too much. If they wanted to read, they would give them books to read, and there would naturally be no shortage of pens and ink.
Of course, if you have some free time and want to go out and chat with old friends, play chess or something like that, don’t expect it.
Although it is said to be under house arrest, this house arrest is also a prison sentence, so you can do anything!
However, unlike Zhou Shu who lived by painting and calligraphy when he was under house arrest, the Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, who lived next door to him before, was not living a very good life.
At the beginning, Xu Pengju was guarding Nanjing and was also in charge of the military governor. He could be said to be the most powerful general in Jinling City. However, in fact, he did not have much real power in the past few years, especially when Wang Yiqi served as the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War and the governor.
After the division of military affairs in Jiangnan.
He is the governor of the army in name only. Although he still has some guardsmen under his command, the world has changed recently and these guardsmen are no longer useful. The real army has turned into various new armies.
Even the border troops in the north have been undergoing reforms, equipped with a large number of guns and artillery, and reorganized into a new army.
In Jiangnan, the new army, also known as the Jiangnan New Army, was controlled by Wang Yiqi.
After finally waiting for Wang Yiqi to be defeated and killed in Jianping, he contacted a few other people and found a random charge to kill the deputy general of the Jiangnan New Army who was staying in Jinling, trying to seize the three thousand Jiangnan New Army.
Although the deputy general was finished, several other commanders of the Jiangnan New Army were not easy to mess with. They led their soldiers and left on the spot. They went to Yangzhou and never came back.
This Xu Pengju had not yet tasted the feeling of controlling power in Jinling City. He was besieged by the Second Army and then surrendered.
After the puppet Tang thief army entered the city, the huge Wei Guogong Mansion was naturally confiscated in minutes. Although the Wei Guogong Mansion was still there, the mansion had become a royal courtyard, and many clansmen and servants in the Wei Guogong Mansion were instantly
It means being separated and scattered.
The Tang Army paid no attention to the tribesmen and slaves from the side branches, but the direct tribesmen were all arrested en masse and imprisoned like the family members of other high-ranking officials who had surrendered.
And this was nothing. What made him depressed was that someone had tipped him off some time ago, saying that his eldest son, Xu Bangrui, had actually turned himself into a traitor. He also published an article under his real name in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, which was painful.
He scolded his father and Daming.
At the same time, he transformed into a Baron of the Tang Dynasty and was awarded the rank of Army Major!
This Zhuzi was so unfaithful and unfilial. It was true that I had not misjudged this person at the beginning, and it was not in vain that I had spent a lot of effort and cultivated many relationships before making Zheng the wife of Wei Guogong and preparing to make his youngest son the heir apparent.
Of course, he would not know that at this moment, his eldest son, Xu Bangrui, who turned to the thieves, also snorted: You are unkind and I am unjust. Since you want to take away my throne, then I will simply
It is better to surrender to the thieves and become a baron of the Tang Dynasty than to die with you.
The changes in the Duke of Wei's palace in recent years are indeed a series of grievances between wealthy families that can attract the attention of countless people. The battles between brothers, fathers and sons, and wives and concubines. If you really need to write it down carefully, I'm afraid it could fill a book worth nearly a million dollars.
The word house is in a fight.
Since Xu Bangrui's son has already surrendered to the thief, and he is still speaking ill of his father and son to the fake Tang Dynasty, one of them may really die in the hands of this thief.
After pondering for a long time, Xu Pengju took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a handwritten letter. Naturally, the letter he was writing was not an ordinary letter. If it were a letter written to other friends, he would not be able to send it out.
This letter was written to Qian Mengjiu.
The wording in this letter is not simple. When you raise your head, it means that the guilty people are kneeling down. In the letter, Qian Mengjiu is addressed as "sir." This cannot be described as humility, but as flattery.
.
The main content of the letter is that he has deeply realized his past mistakes and hopes that you will be merciful and allow him to remain a guilty person and contribute Weibo's strength to the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, this is a letter of faith and, incidentally, a letter of self-incrimination.
Qian Mengjiu received the letter soon. After reading it, he shook his head slightly, and then said to others: "Ask him to write another letter. This is nothing to write to me. Let him write a confession directly.
The content of the book should be profound and the attitude should be sincere. Then the letter with Zhou Shu should be sent to the court newspaper department. It is estimated that it will not be long before everyone in the world can see it. Even if you are the Duke of the country and the minister, you are still willing to do so.
Surrender to me, the Tang Dynasty!"
The letters he mentioned about Zhou Shu were naturally forged by his subordinates. His officials studied Zhou Shu's many articles with great concentration and then imitated them.
In India, compared to the North Korean newspaper department, this kind of article is quite welcome. This is another great propaganda material.
As for Zhou Shu's own opinion, it is not important. Zhou Shu will probably know about it after it is published in the morning newspaper.
Qian Mengjiu didn't pay much attention to the change in Wei Guogong Xu Pengju's attitude. He didn't even care much about it, including Zhou Shu. If these things were done well, it would at most make the propaganda work more convenient.
If they don't agree, the propaganda work will still be done in the same way, but it won't be as convenient.
Now that Qian Mengjiu is in Jinling City, what he is most concerned about is the matter of moving the capital!
He doesn't care about other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can't control them, but he wants to put Jinling City and even the entire Chengtian Mansion in order before His Majesty arrives.
Counting the days, there is not much time left for him, he must hurry up
