Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, his skin went numb.
As one of the few scholars among Jianzhou Jurchens who had read and written, Haha Qi Mu naturally understood what Zhu Houcong meant.
This is a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves!
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a book that every Jianzhou Jurchen has in hand, so he can naturally see this plan at a glance.
This is to make us Jurchen brothers kill each other!
Haha Qi Mu clenched his fists, but did not dare to speak. He still lowered his head, with a touch of sadness in his heart, and bowed to Zhu Houcong: "Please show mercy to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Houcong narrowed his eyes, and a frightening aura rushed towards Haha Qi Mu: "What do you mean, sir? Do you want to refuse to obey the imperial edict?"
Hearing these words, Haha Qi Mu was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I don't dare."
"In that case, then retreat."
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, and then said: "By the way, don't forget to inform North Korea and order the King of North Korea to come to Beijing for an audience!"
"promise!"
Haha Saiki is submissive.
After all, their Fulin lineage had exterminated themselves in Manchuria after killing Dorgon. Now they can only serve as pawns in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the Southern Huns in history, they have become dogs raised by the Ming Dynasty and bite anyone who barks.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Youjian on the side immediately said: "Step back."
"I excuse myself."
Haha Qi Mu retreated respectfully, and under the leadership of the eunuch, retreated from the splendid hall.
After Haha Qi Mu left the hall, Zhu Houcong turned around. After thinking for a moment, he looked at a minister behind Zhu Youjian. He couldn't help but have an idea and said with a smile: "Servant Qian, where is Mr. Mu Zhai? "
Standing behind Zhu Youjian, Qian Qianyi originally thought that he had nothing to do, but when he heard Zhu Houcong's roll call, he couldn't help but stood up, and then stood up, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Emperor Shizong, I am here, Your Majesty Holy Gong."
In history, Qian Qianyi was greedy for life and afraid of death. He was famous for "the water is too cold and the scalp is itchy".
Historically, when the Manchu and Qing soldiers approached Nanjing, Liu Rushi, Qian Qianyi's step-wife, persuaded Qian Qianyi to join him in drowning himself in the country. Qian Qianyi was silent for a moment, then stepped into the pool and tested the water, saying, "The water is too cold." , "Can't get down," Liu Rushi "struggled to sink into the pool," but Qian Qianyi held him back.
Later, Qian Qianyi led his ministers to open the city in the pouring rain to welcome Duduo, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army.
Shi Dun's "Miscellaneous Notes on Weiyu" records: "The King of Yu (Duduo) went south to the south of the Yangtze River and ordered his head to be shaved."
The people of Southern Ming Dynasty talked a lot about this and the public sentiment was passionate.
Qian Qianyi suddenly said, "My scalp is itching so much" and suddenly went out. The family thought he was going to use a hair pick to chop his hair, but after a while, Qian Qianyi came in with his hair cut and braids.
Regarding this kind of thing, someone wrote a poem to satirize it: Mr. Qian has a good mind, and he is famous all over the world for his talent in mountain fighting. After the country was broken, we headed back to the North Palace, and our official positions remained at the old Donglin level.
At that time, Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, and Yuan Shu, the governor of Henan who were good friends with Qian Qianyi, and Yuan Shu, the political and military patrol officer of Henan, both swore not to serve in the Qing Dynasty and died on hunger strikes one after another.
It is normal for people to be afraid of death.
But for Qian Qianyi, it is not possible!
Ordinary people could shave their heads and accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but could Qian Qianyi? He was an official of the Ming Dynasty. He was the Minister of Rites of Emperor Hongguang of Nanjing. He was also the leader of Donglin, the Tanhua of the Wanli Dynasty, and the Minister of Rites of the Chongzhen Dynasty!
Received the favor of the country, the leader of Donglin!
His surrender gave the civil servants of Nanming a high-sounding excuse to surrender. His representative in Nanming had a much higher status than the Kong family who had "surrendered the world."
After all, the Kong family is only the spiritual leader, while Qian Qianyi is the actual leader!
By the way, there is also the Kong family, who was brought down by Shi Xiu.
Zhu Houcong's heart arose to deal with the Kong family, but he put it aside for now and dealt with the matter at hand first.
Previously, Zhu Houcong's thoughts had been on Li Chuang and Jiannu, but he paid little attention to Qian Qianyi. After all, this person stayed here to secretly support anti-Qing martyrs after he was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
In this regard, Zhu Houcong commented that he was just feeling guilty and dissatisfied with the treatment given by the Qing Dynasty.
Do you think if the Qing Dynasty gave him the same treatment as Fan Wencheng, would Qian Qianyi still be able to fund anti-Qing martyrs?
After hearing Qian Qianyi's greetings, Zhu Houcong smiled slightly and did not answer anything. Instead, he said to Wang Chengen who was beside him: "Wang Chengen, get a basin of hot water."
Although he didn't know what Zhu Houcong wanted to do, Wang Chengen focused on being obedient and immediately ordered two young eunuchs to fetch a copper basin of hot water.
All the ministers were confused as to why Zhu Houcong brought the hot water, and Zhu Houcong did not explain. Then he looked at Qian Qianyi and said, "Mr. Qian, let's take a look at this basin of water. Is it cool?"
Hearing these words, Qian Qianyi's heart thumped, and he could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty is joking, how can boiling water get cold?"
Zhu Houcong nodded: "Is Mr. Qian's scalp itchy?"
I wasn't itchy at first, but I was scared to death by you.
Qian Qianyi cupped his hands and said: "It's quite a bit, but His Majesty Shizong, this matter..."
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Then the Minister of Qian will cut off the three thousand troubles, leaving only one rat braid that is enough for copper coins to pass through."
"His Majesty!"
After hearing Zhu Houcong's voice, Qian Qianyi seemed to be very angry, and his whole body was shaking with anger. Then he took off his official hat, his gray hair was messy, and kowtowed to Zhu Houcong as the leader, looking deeply humiliated. : "You can't abandon your parents who love your body, hair, and skin! I am a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and all I want is respectability! Why does Your Majesty humiliate me like this?!"
Qian Qianyi looked very strong, not at all like the water was too cold or his scalp was itchy.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong sneered, overturned the boiling water, poured it directly on Qian Qianyi's body, and angrily said: "If I hadn't come with Taizu and Taizong, you would have shaved your hair in Nanjing and led the Nanjing officials. I knelt down in the heavy rain to welcome Jian Nu into the capital!"
"me……"
Hearing these words, Qian Qianyi's face turned pale and he didn't care about the scalding hot water on his body. He was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Your friends, Yue Qijie and Yuan Shu swore not to surrender and died on a hunger strike! Your colleagues, Shi Kefa, fought to the death in Yangzhou and refused to retreat. Ma Shiying was defeated after an attack on Taihu Lake. The Qing soldiers skinned him and used grass to kill him!"
"What about you? Your step-wife Liu Rushi, a weakling who hangs around in romantic places, wants to die for her country! You, who are deeply favored by the emperor and have a first-class official position, Qian Shangshu or Qian Shilang, do you want to relieve your itchy scalp?"
"I am extremely disappointed with you, but you are of some use. Today I will go home and have my hair shaved. I will go with Jianzhou Wei Haha Qimu to serve as the Prime Minister of Jin and assist the King of Jin Li Fulin."
Zhu Houcong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Keep an eye on him. If there is any collusion with Duduo and Haoge, report him in time! He goes to Liao to show his face every month. If King Li Fulin of Jin does not allow it, he will do it himself. There is an army to fight for you!"
Qian Qianyi shivered and could only kowtow in agreement.
Boiling hot water flowed freely in the hall, and Qian Qianyi's skin was already scalded red.
