Chapter five hundred and sixty third come to the door
The Donglin Party has been quietly disappearing since they were severely criticized by Lin Chong several times before, and no longer make any big moves.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor seems to have changed since he experienced the rebellion in the capital. In the past, he always admired the things promoted by the Donglin Party, but now it is completely different. He seems to be eager to
Drive them all home.
As the current leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, editor of the Hanlin Academy, has been busy recently. He originally thought that since the old man Ren Zanhua didn't come, the position of censor should be in his pocket.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty found a Mao Pijiang out of nowhere, and he went all the way to success.
It would be fine if this Mao Bijiang was a person with no ability, but he was still a great talent with a world-famous reputation, so it was only natural that he should be an official in the imperial court. In addition, he was impartial and selfless, so it was hard to fault anyone.
Trouble comes.
Seeing that I am getting older and older, when others reach this age, people tend to move up to higher places, why is it that I am becoming less and less popular?
If he remembered correctly, the emperor was convinced by what they said in the past and respected their opinions. Why was the capital suddenly so hostile to them? Is it really because the Donglin Party opposed the relocation of the capital at that time?
?Or was it earlier, because they insisted not to compromise with the peasant rebels?
But aren't these all things that should be done? These are the rules left by the ancestors. They just brought them out to remind His Majesty to prevent him from doing something wrong in his youth and arrogance without realizing it. Did they do something wrong?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. He didn't even go to court these days. He stayed at home claiming to be sick every day, which was a comfortable life.
Originally, he thought that his life would be spent idle and hopeless, but one day a mysterious person suddenly visited his mansion.
This man covered himself tightly with a big cloak, and it was impossible to tell who he really was. Qian Qianyi couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart, could this man be an important criminal wanted by the court?
Bar?
If he let him in so rashly, could he be causing a big trouble for himself? He even planned to find someone to drive this guy out, but was stunned for a moment after the other person took off his cloak.
.
"Are you... Zheng Chenggong?" Although he has never seen what Zheng Chenggong looks like, isn't the mask in front of him the representative of Zheng Chenggong? I heard that he wears this mask everywhere except eating and sleeping because of injuries on his face.
Due to injury.
"Zheng Chenggong" in front of him let out a strange laugh: "Who do you think I am?"
Qian Qianyi frowned. The voice seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. It was definitely not because he met Zheng Chenggong a few days ago. His voice sounded different then.
A little different, aren't they the same person?
Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi became nervous: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to me?"
The masked man smiled: "Then how long do you think you can continue to be an official?"
"What do you mean by that?" Qian Qianyi frowned. This guy doesn't look like a good person. It's better to stay away from this kind of person to avoid getting burned in time.
"You know very well what I mean. Now that the emperor's attitude towards your Donglin Party is known to everyone in the civil and military circles, who is still willing to get close to you? I want to ask you if you have ever thought about why this happened.
What about this situation? Didn't the emperor trust you very much in the past?" What the masked man said was exactly what Qian Qianyi felt, but he suppressed his desire to rush forward and ask questions.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. If there's nothing else, please leave as soon as possible." He shook his sleeves and prepared to see off the guests.
"Let me tell you why. Your Excellency, you have watched the emperor grow up. Don't you think that he has changed too much recently? There are too many things that are wrong. Have you never
Have you ever had any doubts?" The masked man took a step closer.
Qian Qianyi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Finally, he asked with great difficulty: "What do you want to say?"
The man slowly took off the mask on his face and said with a smile: "If I want to ask you to help me, I wonder if you are willing?"
"Do you want to rebel? I tell you this is a serious crime that will punish the nine tribes. You'd better..." His voice stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you, who are you?" After taking off the mask, there is no doubt that it is the emperor himself. Could it be that this is a private visit incognito, or a test for him? His Majesty has already seen that Zheng Chenggong has the intention to rebel.
, so you want to test him? He couldn't figure out what the other party meant.
"Lord Qian is really the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. Even if he is ignored and not reused, he can still stick to his true heart and never thought of betraying the Ming Dynasty. He is really worthy of commendation."
Qian Qianyi was already breaking out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, you are very grateful, but I dare to ask, what is the reason for this injury on your face?"
There is a scar on the face of the person in front of me that goes straight from the eye to the bottom of the face. It looks very scary. And the most frightening thing is that this injury does not look like it was caused in the past two days. What is going on?
?
"Master Qian is so smart and talented, can't you guess what I'm going to say?" Zheng Chenggong looked at Qian Qianyi, who was already so nervous that he didn't know what to do, with a half-smile.
After being silent for a long time, Qian Qianyi heard his dry voice: "So you mean that the emperor in the palace is fake, and you standing in front of me are the real one?"
In any case, this is too unbelievable. How could the emperor be fake? If it was fake, then no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew about it? The most important thing is that there is Manager Wang. If the emperor is fake, he will not
Maybe not say anything? He has always been the most loyal to the emperor.
Qian Qianyi now has too many doubts. He can't completely believe the person in front of him, but he feels that what he said makes sense. He doesn't know how to answer his question about whether he is willing to help him.
"Are you really His Majesty?" He still wanted to make sure again.
"Of course, Mr. Qian, do you still remember what I gave you as a reward when I first went to court? Was it a pendant of mutton-fat white jade? I wonder if you still have it with you now." Zheng Chenggong seemed to recall the past.
Things that happened, the tone also brought some exclamation.
