Chapter 368 Let's watch him rise from a tall building! [3 more]
Taking a step forward, Yu Huatian placed the chess pieces on the chessboard and said with a wry smile: "The governor's cultivation has become more and more profound, but my subordinates are far behind!"
Looking at Yuhuatian lightly, Chu Yi turned over a page of the classics and said, "Is there any news coming from Nanjing City?"
You must know that if Yuhuatian says there is nothing important, he will usually not come to see Chu Yi.
Now that she appeared in front of him, it goes without saying that something must have happened.
Yu Huatian looked serious, raised his hands and said in salute: "Just now, the people from the Jinyiwei sent news that King Ning had conquered Nanjing City, and on the second day after entering the city, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
When Chu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He tapped the classics in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "Emperor Wu? Who is Zhu Chenhao? He dared to call himself Emperor Wu. He wouldn't think that he was
You can really win the world with your martial arts skills!"
Yu Huatian said with a sarcastic look on his face: "Zhu Chenhao established the Nanming Dynasty and spread the decree to the world, depriving the emperor of the present day of his throne, calling the emperor a false emperor, and granting ministers great titles..."
As he spoke, Yu Huatian looked at Chu Yi and said: "Master Governor, Zhu Chenhao is really too arrogant. We have been away from Beijing for a long time. If His Majesty is stimulated by Zhu Chenhao's fake emperor's edict..."
Chu Yi breathed out slowly, looked towards the direction of Nanjing City and said: "Zhu Chenhao lived up to the governor's high hopes. He finally conquered Nanjing City and gathered around him a large number of people who were dissatisfied with the imperial court. He can be described as a monster.
Come together, I have been waiting for this for a long time!"
Hearing Chu Yi's words, Yu Huatian couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said: "Lord Governor, are we going to attack Nanjing City now?"
Chu Yi stood up, stretched his waist and said, "If this governor doesn't go, Zhu Chenhao will be so arrogant!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Lin Pingzhi was seen walking quickly. He saluted Chu Yi and said: "Report to the governor, Nanjing garrison eunuch, Fan Heng, and Wei Guogong Xu Yan to see you!"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Invite them in!"
Soon they saw Fan Heng and Xu Yan came over. It was obvious that both Fan Heng and Xu Yan looked extremely tired. It was obvious that they had escaped from Nanjing City and were able to escape all the way under the pursuit of King Ning's men.
Getting to Huai'an is not easy either.
When he saw Chu Yi, Fan Heng couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and saluted Chu Yi and said, "Fan Heng has met the General Manager, and the General Manager is a thousand years old!"
After all, Xu Yan is also a dignified prince, so naturally he will not be as careless as Fan Heng. He has to worry about his face no matter what, so he bowed his hand to Chu Yi and said, "I have seen the chief steward!"
Chu Yi said with a smile: "You two, please sit down and talk."
After greeting Ranran and sitting down, Chu Yi looked at the two of them and said, "I was just discussing with Governor Yu about sending troops. They happened to be coming from Nanjing City. You might as well tell me what is going on in Nanjing City right now."
It’s a scene that can be used as a reference for this governor.”
After looking at each other, Xu Yan took a deep breath and said: "General Manager, Xu is incompetent and has failed the emperor's favor, but he failed to defend Nanjing City, so that even the Ming Emperor fell into the hands of the rebels."
Seeing this, Chu Yi comforted Xu Chu and said: "Why did the old Duke say this? As far as Chu knows, the old Duke has tried his best to defend against the rebels. It's no wonder that too many people in Jiangnan have betrayed the emperor's favor and actively colluded.
By rebelling against King Zhu Chenhao, the city of Nanjing suffered a loss. Although the old Duke made mistakes, he is excusable!"
Xu Yan looked at Chu Yi with a firm face and said: "I would also like to ask the General Manager to allow Xu to accompany the General Manager to Nanjing City. I am willing to help the General Manager retake Nanjing City and perform meritorious service to atone for his own sins!"
Chu Yi looked at Xu Er, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, shook his head slowly and said: "The old man is already old. If your majesty knows about this loyalty and patriotism, he will definitely be very pleased. But this time before
Go, good or bad is uncertain, if something happens to the old Duke, how will I explain to His Majesty, so the old Duke should go to the capital by boat!"
Xu Yan wholeheartedly wanted to return to Nanjing with him, and his purpose was very clear to Chu Yi.
The Wei Guogong lineage is truly deeply rooted in Nanjing.
Even if King Ning rebels, even if he recaptures Nanjing City one day, as long as Xu Yan can return to Nanjing City, it will not be long before the Wei Guogong lineage has managed Nanjing City for hundreds of years, and the custody of Nanjing City will once again fall to the Wei Guogong lineage.
within the control of.
Of course, this control does not mean complete control of Nanjing City, but the influence of Wei Guogong's lineage on Nanjing City.
If this were the case in the past, even the emperor would not be able to break the rules and transfer Wei Guogong's lineage to the capital. After all, Wei Guogong's lineage stayed in Nanjing, which was a rule established since the founding of the ancestors.
Later generations of emperors also acquiesced that Wei Guogong's lineage was the noble hand of Nanjing and took over the city of Nanjing on behalf of the Tian family.
But people's hearts can change. After hundreds of years of development in Nanjing, Wei Guogong's lineage has already been integrated into all aspects of Nanjing. Its influence on Nanjing is really great. It can even be said to have exceeded the royal family's influence on Nanjing.
Influence.
It would be an absolute lie to say that the emperor had never thought of transferring Wei Guogong's lineage away from Nanjing.
However, without a reasonable reason, it is not so easy for Wei Guogong's lineage to be transferred out of Nanjing.
And now is a perfect opportunity. The direct members of Wei Guogong's lineage are forced to leave Nanjing. It is the best time to transfer Wei Guogong's lineage away from Nanjing.
Unless Chu Yi had water in his head, he would never give Xu Guo a chance to return to Nanjing.
And Xu Ren obviously realized that once the Xu family left Nanjing City, they would never regain their former glory, so he begged Chu Yi to take him to Nanjing City with him.
Even though he knew there were certain risks, for the sake of the future of the Xu family, Xu Yan couldn't care less.
It's a pity that Chu Yi is not a fool and will not give him this opportunity at all.
Seeing Chu Yi's resolute look, Xu Er couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After glancing at Chu Yi, Xu Yan said to Chu Yi: "That's all, in that case, I will go to the capital to plead guilty to His Majesty. The Governor is here to put down the rebellion, but he must be careful of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River!"
As an old fox who is accustomed to all kinds of intrigues, Xu Yan dare not say that he has seen through all Chu Yi's schemes, but he can vaguely grasp some of them.
Therefore, Xu Yan reminded Chu Yi, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi felt the sincerity in Xu Yan's words, smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, old master, Chu will make sure those rebels know what the strict laws and the laws of the country are."
No matter what Xu Yan thought in his heart, it was necessary for Wei Guogong and his family to go to the capital anyway. It was not easy for Wei Guogong and his family to leave Nanjing. Chu Yi felt sorry for God if he didn't get it to the capital.
I originally thought that Xu Er might welcome King Ning into the city, but I never thought that Xu Er was not an old fool. He appeared to be very rational and firm in his position in the face of Prince Ning's rebellion.
Putting aside everything else, Xu Er may not be truly loyal to the emperor, but at least he did not choose to betray the court. For this reason alone, Chu Yi could not do anything to Xu Er.
His eyes fell on Fan Heng.
To be honest, Fan Heng is the important person in Chu Yi's control of Nanjing City. Although it is impossible for Chu Yi to have only Fan Heng in the entire Nanjing City, Fan Heng is definitely the most important one.
When Fan Heng saw Chu Yi's eyes on him, he pondered and listed all the arrangements he had made in Nanjing.
Xu Yan, who was sitting aside, was shocked as he listened to Fan Heng arrange it one by one.
If Fan Heng is not lying, then just listening to Fan Heng's various arrangements can be seen that the fall of Nanjing City has long been expected by Chu Yi. To put it bluntly, this fall of Nanjing City, the great Chu Yi
The manager is definitely not involved.
At the same time, Xu Ru's heart was filled with turmoil. When he even guessed Chu Yi's ultimate goal, cold sweat broke out on Xu Er's back.
The look in Chu Yi's eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of fear and apprehension.
Being able to make Xu Er, an old fox, be afraid of Chu Yi shows that Xu Er was definitely shocked.
Chu Yi nodded appreciatively at Fan Heng and said: "This time, it is thanks to General Manager Fan. If Jiangnan can be pacified this time and returned to the rule of the imperial court, General Manager Fan will be indispensable."
Fan Heng said quickly: "Our family is just following the instructions of the governor, how dare we take credit!"
Although there was news from the Jin Yiwei, Chu Yi still asked Fan Heng and Xu Yan one by one. Combining the news brought by the two, Chu Yi had a clear understanding of the current situation in Nanjing City.
Hundreds of large ships set off from Huai'an and headed straight for Nanjing along the Grand Canal.
Huai'an is hundreds of miles away from Nanjing. As long as there are no accidents on the Grand Canal, the troops can arrive at Nanjing in at most two days.
Several days have passed since the city of Nanjing was defeated that day, and Prince Ning ascended the throne in Nanjing yesterday with the support of hundreds of officials.
Following this, King Ning issued a series of rewards. Except for dozens of officials who refused to obey King Ning's edict and were thrown into prison, the entire Nanjing court really looked like a new dynasty.
"Report, urgent report to Nanchang!"
A fast horse carrying a messenger galloped through Nanjing's Long Street.
At the same time, on the mighty canal, dozens of large ships carrying rebels blocked Chu Yi's hundreds of large ships. Following Chu Yi's order, hundreds of large ships rushed directly up, and suddenly the river surface was flooded.
There was a cry of killing.
The artillery blasted, the cannons fired, and the small boats carrying brave soldiers shuttled between the big ships looking for opportunities to board the big ships.
Large ships collided with each other, just for a while, and the situation became clear after the water battle started.
