Qian Qianyi suddenly fainted during the Prime Minister's Office meeting in Wuying Hall, and even became incontinent. The meeting in front of the Holy Land was stopped halfway, and the imperial doctor did not wake him up even after he came and administered acupuncture and medicine. In the end, Qian Qianyi
Yi was carried out.
Zhu Yihai was in a very unhappy mood.
Geng Laoer committed suicide on Pidao, which made him dissatisfied. He originally wanted all the ministers to hold a meeting and properly liquidate Geng Laoer. The drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to deal with some internal instability before taking the throne.
Factors, and even some confusing trends of thought have their roots cleared.
But he committed suicide.
Even the Jin Yiwei couldn't stop him. It has to be said that Geng Laoer rebelled again until his death. Zhu Yihai always suppressed his anger in dealing with him and the Geng family in the palace. He died too easily.
It failed to achieve the typical effect he wanted.
As a result, Qian Qianyi, a typical example of booking, did this again.
Chamberlain Zhao An came in to report.
"How's it going? Is Qian Qianyi awake?"
Zhao An bowed and replied: "Qian Qianyi has woken up, but he started talking nonsense, as if he was crazy."
Zhu Yihai snorted coldly.
The emperor hates it when his ministers speculate on his own thoughts, but Qian Qianyi violated the taboo and speculated on the holy will, and even let Liu Rushi enter the palace to seduce him. Now he is crazy?
He never believed it. When he was in the palace, he suspected that Qian Qianyi's coma and incontinence were actually deliberately faked by this old guy.
In order to survive, he resorted to all kinds of bad tricks.
In vain, he was also called the leader of Donglin and the master of literature. However, this person thought he was a clean figure but was extremely passionate about fame and fortune. He was sanctimonious on the surface, but he flattered the eunuchs and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He was by no means a loyal and patriotic person. He was just a repeater.
Impermanent people.
He was a prodigal in his youth, a passionate politician in his middle age, a traitor who surrendered in his later years, and even in the past few years, he has been a sycophant who only flattered and catered to the king without the bearing of a true minister.
His life was full of ups and downs, he had no position, no national integrity, and nothing else except fame and fortune. Although all the scholars respected him as the Master of Articles and said that he was unrivaled in a century, no matter how talented he was, what else could he say about his evil intentions?
Although this is also a common problem among countless scholar-bureaucrats since the late Ming Dynasty, for Zhu Yihai, who almost restarted the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt the Ming Dynasty, especially when he was about to abdicate, he had to deal with Qian Qianyi, a repeatedly selfish civil servant.
We should vigorously punish those warriors like Geng Zhongming and Wu Sangui who betrayed their country and sought support, supported their own troops, slaughtered cities and plundered people without taking it seriously, and regarded them as having no imperial power or country.
Even if it's overkill, it's still necessary.
Before he retreated, he did what he had to do. Even if he killed a bit more harshly, it would be a good time for the new emperor to show his kindness.
Otherwise, if everyone still has the same old thinking since the late Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty reinvents it, I am afraid it will not flourish for long.
Basically within a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty in the East had no real foreign enemies.
But strong fortresses are often breached from within.
Zhu Yihai's current liquidation of Geng Zhongming, Qian Qianyi, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others would be like burning down bridges and killing donkeys, but he had to do it.
If he was given another twenty or thirty years, he could be more gentle and slowly reverse the evil trend since the late Ming Dynasty, but he didn't have time.
The prince is still too young and has not really experienced that chaotic era. He also lacks sufficient means to control those people.
He can't take risks.
Since he didn't have time, he would cut the knot quickly. Even if he would suffer some infamy, he didn't care. The emperor was not a saint, and governing the country was not about treating guests to dinner.
At that time, the situation forced us to compromise and give in. Now that we have the conditions, of course we have to settle the old and new accounts together. When there are no conditions, even if we are supported by these rebellious ministers and traitors, they can't help themselves even if they support the bandits. They can even be kidnapped and surrendered.
The enemy could only lament their bad fate. They could only give them whatever they wanted, including making them dukes and kings. Even their ancestral graves were dug up by intruders and thieves, but at the critical moment they still had to make them dukes and marquises to unite them.
But once you have the conditions and capital, who will let go of the opportunity to kill the other party?
Just like the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history. Although they recruited Shunying, they later united with Xiying. Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and others from Xiying, who were once life-and-death enemies, and Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others from Shunying, faced the great enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
, also (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 895
deceive the king
They can only be united temporarily.
But their alliance was nothing more than their own calculations. Historically, even under the pressure of the Manchus, they would still fight among themselves at every opportunity. This kind of calculations and internal strife never stopped until their demise. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty thought about it all the time.
In order to kill these traitors, Sun Kewang was actually just borrowing the banner of the Ming Dynasty temporarily, or even to avoid being attacked from both sides. He had no real respect for Emperor Yongli and the court. If he could really defeat the Manchu Qing, even if
If you can separatist power in the south and stabilize half of the country, you will probably immediately kill Emperor Yongli and abolish the decorative court.
Everyone knows it, but sometimes they have to compromise to get what each other wants.
Compared with other emperors, the difference between Zhu Yihai and others may be that he sees these things more clearly, without any coyness, and directly joins forces to appease them when needed. He can even truly unite them and give them enough trust. Although
There are also reservations.
No one really trusted the small imperial court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, whether it was Shunying or Xiying, or even those who surrendered anyway. They always thought about internal strife and annexation. However, Zhu Yihai was able to unite well and use these troops to concentrate on the Northern Expedition first.
The great work was completed until now.
It is too late to take action now, and the current liquidation is relatively restrained. It only targets these people themselves, and in the end it will even be about their merits and their legacy to their descendants.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes.
It’s not that they don’t have small plans, it’s just that they haven’t had a chance and they don’t have enough chips.
But at this time of life and death, I still want to struggle.
Geng Laoer directly looked for an opportunity to get rid of Jin Yiwei and committed suicide, hoping to kill him once and for all and save his family's wife and children. Qian Qianyi pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, hoping to get through.
"Send the royal doctor to treat him well, and send the royal guards to protect him. Don't let him accidentally slip into the water or fall to his death." Zhu Yihai said angrily.
What he wants is to publicly and formally try these people, to show their merits and demerits, especially those who have repeatedly jumped up and down, betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and led the way. He does not just want him to disappear.
.
It is easy for the emperor to kill someone, but what he wants to kill now is Qian Qianyi, Wu Sangui and other civil servants and military generals who once held high positions and held real power, and even the so-called elite celebrities and scholar leaders for their repeated, traitorous and treasonous behavior.
Your thoughts.
A group of typical representatives of this ideology must be brutally killed in order to truly have a deterrent effect.
Of course, it also clears some obstacles for the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne that are difficult for him to control.
Geng Zhongming committed suicide after being defeated in his conspiracy, Qian Qianyi passed out and went crazy in the palace, and the city was filled with uproar for a while. These news were very shocking.
In Sijiu City, there were many officials and relatives who were well-informed. Soon, various rumors spread, including the news that the emperor was about to give up his throne to the prince.
There is a rumor that is spreading more and more.
It was said that the emperor was seriously ill and his time was running out. In order to ensure the stability of the Ming emperor's power, Emperor Shaotian wanted to kill the meritorious officials to protect the country and the country.
He also said that Zhu Yihai would be Zhu Yuanzhang's second, and all the heroes would be difficult to protect.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang secretly reported the detected information to the emperor. Someone was indeed fanning the flames behind these rumors. Zhu Yihai looked at the lists one by one and just smiled without saying a word.
Before the storm comes, it is normal for wild animals to run wild in the forest.
Qian Qianyi was still crazy. He even poured down the rice he was served, then pooped in the bowl, picked it up and put it into his mouth to eat.
When it comes to an actor's self-cultivation, Qian Qianyi is already at the level of a master.
It has to be said that he spent half of his life in a brothel and learned a lot about the ability to act on the spot. Not to mention his superb acting skills, especially his ability to take risks.
Facing such a guy who refused to cooperate, Zhu Yihai had little patience.
Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou were also on their way to Beijing.
This time, the factory guards sent many more people to watch overtly and covertly, and the generals of the imperial guards personally went to pick them up to ensure that Geng Zhongming would not be the second one again.
Faced with Qian Qianyi's lack of cooperation, Zhu Yihai directly asked people to summon Liu Rushi. Among the various rumors recently, there was also a scandal about Liu Rushi entering the palace and being favored by the emperor. The people were very excited about this news.
But there are no bad comments, on the contrary, they are very gossipy. After all, today’s people are very popular (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 895
deceive the king
It is generally accepted that the six concubines of the six palaces often promise hundreds of things, and the emperor has more than eighty children. How can he not be romantic?
Especially the incident between the emperor and Wang Sangyu of Shandong was even more talked about. Didn't Concubine Ruan also get together with the emperor before they were divorced?
Everyone thinks this kind of romantic thing, especially towards the emperor, is normal. After all, it is not a matter of oppression and coercion. It is still very different from the emperors of the Gaoguan Beast Dynasty in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The factory guard found out that the sleazy rumors were secretly spread by members of the Qian family.
When Liu Rushi received the order at home, she felt complicated.
After she returned home that day, she ignored Qian Qianyi again. Her husband thought that the emperor had favored her, and she did not explain or deny it, or even deliberately refused to explain. This made her a bit revengeful for her husband's happiness.
She returned to the manor in Xishan early the next morning after that day. A few days later, her husband fell into a coma and went crazy in Wuying Hall. She also sent someone to visit him, but the emperor left him at the Imperial Hospital and could not bring him back.
She was also worried these days. She had trouble sleeping and eating for several days. Later, she learned from Qian Yangxian, who came back from visiting her husband, that her husband was pretending to be crazy. Although she felt more at ease, the scandal later came out, which made her feel ashamed and confused.
angry.
This made her recall the scene of being mercilessly rejected and even humiliated by the emperor.
But now her husband secretly instructed Qian Yang to spread the scandal, which made her even more sad.
These days she felt as miserable as every day.
The emperor suddenly summoned her to the palace. She was stunned for a long time before calling the maid to dress her up. Looking at herself in the mirror, her face was still so beautiful, and her skin was still so shiny and delicate. She was at her most mature and beautiful, so why did the emperor
Indifferent?
Now you are summoned suddenly, but you have changed your mind?
If the emperor has that idea after meeting, what should she do? Refuse or accept?
A mind full of confusion.
When Qian Yang first heard that the emperor had summoned Liu Rushi, he hurriedly asked to see him, dismissed his servants, and explained everything in a low voice.
"Please, madam. The master and the Qian family are all counting on madam."
Liu Rushi's delicate face was filled with both shame and anger. She pointed at Qian Yang and cursed, "You bastards, how can you be so filthy and rely on a woman for your men's affairs?"
"Madam, please think about the master and the family, even if it is for the sake of the young lady."
"By selling your wife?"
Qian Yang knelt down and kowtowed to her first.
Liu Rushi was so angry that she smashed her beloved tea set, and even her favorite pot of jasmine tea was knocked to the ground. She went out in shame and anger, and finally got on the carriage arranged by Qian Yangxian, and got into the car.
I even touched up my makeup.
In the emperor.
The prince came to pay his respects to the emperor, and brought up some of the rumors that were abuzz in the capital. He even asked some unbearable questions. Since Qian Qianyi was so crazy and stupid that he would eat his own shit, should he be spared?
Zhu Yihai smiled.
I gave a four-word reply, "A woman's kindness!"
"You don't have to worry about these things. Just take care of the rest. I will take care of these things myself."
The prince still doesn't believe that Qian Qianyi is actually pretending. How could the dignified former leader of Donglin and Tian Wenzong do such a disgusting thing because he was afraid of death?
But Zhu Yihai told him, hadn't Qian Qianyi done enough disgusting things? The water was too cold and his scalp was itchy, wasn't it enough?
Zhu Yihai met Liu Rushi in the Imperial Garden. This place is also called Gonghouyuan. Behind Kunning Palace, it is the first of the four major gardens in the Forbidden Palace and can lead directly to the six east and west palaces.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Imperial Garden is very elegant, with many colorful pavilions and pavilions in the garden.
"Your Majesty summons Madam at Wanchun Pavilion, please."
Liu Rushi was in a daze all the way, thinking wildly, and even couldn't help but think of some charming scenes with the emperor. Her face couldn't help but turn red, and the waiter thought she was unwell.
When I heard about the summons at Wanchun Pavilion, I began to wonder if it had any special meaning, otherwise why I chose this place. The word Wanchun always seemed to have an allusion.
Did the emperor really want to..., but what was the emperor's attitude that day?
"Madam, we're here."
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 895
deceive the king
The voice of the chamberlain brought her back to reality from her wild thoughts.
A chamberlain announced the call in a loud voice, and the voice of summons came from inside.
"Madam, please."
Liu Rushi touched her hot face, hesitated for a moment and finally stepped into the moon gate.
The Wanchun Pavilion in midsummer is still surrounded by flowers and green leaves, and the emperor is in the pavilion.
She walked over bravely and bowed.
Zhu Yihai nodded to her: "Sit."
"Qian Qianyi and I are pretending to be crazy, and I'm very unhappy. So I called my wife here today to let her convey a few words to him. I can't stop what's coming. It's better to let nature take its course. If I can cooperate with him, I will too."
Think about old feelings."
"I give him two options now. One is to continue pretending to be crazy and acting stupid like me. The result will be that Qian Qianyi and the Qian family will be killed. This is the end of deceiving the emperor."
"If he can cooperate, then I will only deal with him. The three direct generations of the Qian family will go to Annan, and the rest of the Nine Clans will go to the Western Regions, Heilongjiang and other places to cultivate land. Although the Qian family's official title and family property cannot be preserved, their lives are not worried, and I
Return one hundredth of their property to them so that they can buy new homes and settle down in the places of exile. Except for the three-generation restriction, they are not allowed to take imperial examinations, join the army, or move back to the mainland. The rest are not restricted and they are still registered citizens."
"Choose one of the two, I will get the result today."
Liu Rushi didn't expect that this was what she was called to do. She was in a daze and said after a long time: "Is there anything else your Majesty needs me to do?"
Zhu Yihai said bluntly to her: "I am the same age as you, and I know that your background was not easy, and you had a hard life. In the end, you followed Qian Qianyi, which is considered a bad person. I heard that when the Communist Party went south to cross the river, you took Qian Qianyi with you.
You went to drown yourself in a lake, but when you jumped into the water, he dragged you back because he said the water was too cold. For this alone, your wife deserves my respect.
I know that Qian Qianyi wants to sell his wife to save his life, but I respect my wife."
"I will pardon my wife and daughter, and leave you a house and a farm from the Qian family's property to support you..."
After Zhu Yihai finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Liu Rushi was left alone to sit in the Wanchun Pavilion in a daze. The random thoughts and entanglements that he had when he came were all in vain, but this time it was not as humiliating as when he was rejected for the first time. On the contrary, he felt a little more
Feeling relieved, even grateful and respectful.
Under the escort of the guards, Liu Rushi went to the Imperial Hospital and met Qian Qianyi. He was disheveled, smelly, and even grabbed feces with his hands and scrawled graffiti on the wall...
Seeing him like this, Liu Rushi frowned and suddenly felt very disgusted with this bad old man.
She stepped forward, Qian Qianyi's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw her, but then he pretended not to recognize him and continued to act crazy.
She stayed far away, and the general of the imperial guards directly called the other guards away.
There are only two people left.
Qian Qianyi was still pretending, while Liu Rushi watched quietly for a while, finally took a few steps forward, and stopped a few steps away.
"I just went to see the saint."
Qian Qianyi stopped his hand, his eyes filled with sorrow and anger.
"The saint would have known that you were pretending to be crazy, so he would have given you two choices!" Liu Rushi's voice was very cold. The stinky old man in front of her was once the one she loved with all her eyes.
"Nothing can escape the sage's discernment, and there is no way for you to pretend to be stupid."
Qian Qianyi stared at Liu Rushi, the most talented and beautiful woman on the Qinhuai River ten miles away, but now she stood far away in disgust.
Sure enough, he has climbed to another high branch.
"We have been sleeping together for more than ten years, but we are no match for the second spring breeze. When we have a new love, we forget about the old one. Are you also so impatient for me to die?"
"Don't you have any old feelings in your heart?"
Liu Rushi didn't want to explain.
"His Majesty said that he would let our daughter stay with me, as well as a house and a farm."
Qian Qianyi was angry. He raised the dung in his hand and threw it at Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi screamed and ran away in panic, without even looking back.
Qian Qianyi angrily chased him with his hands full of feces, but was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the courtyard.
The guard general who sent Liu Rushi pressed his hand on his knife and shouted angrily to stop him, "Qian Qianyi, do you choose?"
Qian Qianyi was frozen on the spot, his whole body shaking uncontrollably (this chapter is not over yet!)
Chapter 895
deceive the king
Finally, his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground, sobbing and extremely desperate.
Seeing Liu Rushi avoiding him from a distance, Qian Qianyi, who was heartbroken, finally had to choose the first option.
"Have you chosen?"
Qian Qianyi nodded.
"Then please go take a shower and change clothes, then go to Dali Temple for interrogation, and cooperate with the investigation."
Qian Qianyi lowered his head, his eyes lost all color. At this moment, he almost went crazy.
The general of the imperial guard had no sympathy for him at all. "Qian Gong was born with a good heart, and his talent in mountain fighting was famous all over the world. After the country was defeated, we moved to the north from the new direction, and our official position remained the same as that of the old Donglin." The general read this with ridicule.
Poetry, this old guy should have been liquidated long ago.
