Huang Gongfu's delegation of 13 people was "retained" by the Qi Dynasty on the grounds of "revising the covenant", and they were all put under house arrest in Xuzhou.
Zhang Dai, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River who followed the mission all the way north and hitched a ride to Xuzhou, was sent to Ninggu Pagoda by officials of the Daqi Criminal Department because of his wanton behavior (asking Emperor Wuding to help him marry Liu Rushi). Hard labor, servitude with armored men, and the realization of his beautiful romantic fantasy of a talented man and a beautiful woman among the white mountains and black waters.
Regarding Zhang Dai's tragic experience, everyone in the industry dared not speak out in anger. Everyone knew that Zhang Dai was perverse and his behavior was outrageous, but they did not expect that this kid would dare to let the emperor act as a matchmaker.
Emperor Wu Ding specially revised a letter of state and asked Du Yinxi to take it back to Emperor Hongguang. Yes, in the end, Qi State only allowed Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, to return to Nanjing.
Liu Zhaosun informed Zhu Changhui in his credential that Huang Gongfu, Lu Zhenfei and others had abandoned the secrets and defected to the Ming Dynasty and defected to Da Qi. Now they are all entrusted with important tasks by the Qi State. Qi Ming is a country of brothers, so he hopes that Nan Ming can treat their families in Nanjing well. In the end, Emperor Wu Ding did not forget to threaten that if anything happened to the family members of Huang Gongfu and others, Qi would regard it as Ming's betrayal of the Xuzhou Covenant. At that time, the Supreme Emperor would personally lead an army to cross the Huaihe River, reoccupy Hefei, and capture Nanjing. ·····
Emperor Wu Ding vividly explained what shamelessness means with his actions.
He judged that the Hongguang court would never dare to do anything to the families of these "defected" ministers. Zhu Changhuan was now possessed by Wanyan Gou and feared Qi like a tiger. His fear of Qi Jun was no less than that of Wan Yangou who feared Jin Guojin. Wushu.
There are many talents in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Wu Ding hoped that Nanming could be like this in the future and regularly deliver talents to Daqi in batches.

The Xuzhou Alliance marked the determination of the northern and southern borders of the Qi Ming Dynasty. The war gradually faded away. Da Qi's military operations in the south temporarily came to an end. At least in the short term, neither side had the intention to continue the war.
The next focus of the time traveler's work will be the internal construction of Qi State and the northern campaign.
Just like when I joined TG in 1949, after the Battle of Xiangyang, local tyrants, evil gentry, evil gentry, demons, ghosts, and snakes were everywhere in the newly occupied areas seizing power. It was time to completely clean out these forces.
According to Liu Zhaosun's idea, a new round of purges will soon begin. The people in the occupied areas will be effectively organized to focus on criticizing and rectifying those officials who have objections to the New Deal (including poor political performance) and all local tyrants and evil gentry who are unkind and rich.
Before this bloody storm comes, it is necessary to recruit a group of talents who can be put to great use for Daqi.
This group of envoys who came to the door on their own were undoubtedly the best candidates.
As long as these people's minds are slightly modified, they can become the pillars of the empire.
On the sixth day of October in the second year of Taichu, Huang Gongfu, the Minister of Rites of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was brought to the palace of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor intended to start with this person to break the psychological defense of the envoys of the Southern Ming Dynasty and make them all submit to Da Qi and serve him.
However, it seems that it is still difficult to achieve this goal. The Huang Shangshu in front of him would rather die than surrender. It is said that he has not eaten for two days.
"Kneel down!"
After Zhang Dong brought the people there, he shouted loudly at Huang Gongfu and ordered him to kneel down immediately.
Huang refused to kneel down. Instead, he pointed at Liu Zhaosun, who was hugging him from left to right, and yelled:
"How can I, the minister of the heaven, worship the prince of a small state! Liu Zhaosun, you are a beast, you regicide and usurp power, massacre the gentry, you are greedy for money and lust, cruel and cruel, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, you will not die well! I can't see you die. That day, someone will finally see it!”
"Bold!" Pei Dahu pulled out the heavy sword with a clang and slashed it down.
Dang~~
A teapot flew from the throne and hit Pei Dahu's blade impartially. The leader of the Imperial Guard felt numbness in the tiger's mouth, and the heavy sword he was holding tightly flew out of his hand.
Everyone looked overhead. The Supreme Emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, put away his sleeves, grabbed another teapot on the table and started pouring tea.
Several generals present were shocked by the strength of the Emperor's arms. He just threw the sword so accurately and cruelly that he knocked the heavy sword to the ground!
Emperor Wu Ding's steady and powerful voice came from the throne:
"stop!"
"It doesn't hurt to let him curse a few times."
After saying that, the Supreme Emperor gently pushed away Jin Yuji and Daphne, who were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. He stood up from the two beauties, quickly straightened his clothes, walked down the steps, took three steps and then walked straight. When he came to Huang Gongfu, he personally took off the rope from Huang Gongfu's body and said with concern:
"Shang Shu Huang, I'm frightened. Please get up."
In the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Huang Gongfu was far less famous than Shi Kefa, Liu Zongzhou and others, and he was not as talented as Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan. However, this person can be regarded as a typical example of loyal civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the 13th year of Yongli reign (1659), King Ping Nan of the Qing Dynasty sent a letter to Gongfu, urging him to surrender. Gongfu said, "I would rather have broken jade than complete tiles." He resolutely set himself on fire at the age of 83. Later, the second son Huang Duyu died in the battle in Xunzhou, and the eldest grandson Huang Que died in Guangzhou.
Although the time-travelers are cruel and cruel, they still feel a bit of awe when facing such historical figures.
"Kneel down!"
Zhang Dongqiang held Huang Gongfu's neck and forced the old man to kowtow to the Supreme Emperor. Huang Gongfu held his head high, with veins bulging under his gray hair.
"Kneel down! Kneel down! Kneel down for me!"
Liu Zhaosun couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and kicked Zhang Dong away, saying angrily:
"That's enough! Zhang Mazi, get down!"
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was angry, Zhang Dong did not dare to hesitate and quickly stood up and retreated. Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Dongfang Zhu.
Dongfang Zhu stepped forward on tiptoe, gently helped Nanming Shangshu up, and whispered with a cigarette in his mouth:
"Huang Shangshu, why bother? Zhu Changhuan betrayed Da Qi, sent troops to attack Shandong, and killed many innocent people. As a result, my life was cut off in Linqing, and I became an incomplete man... The Supreme Emperor With kindness in mind, I have pardoned your death penalty and still want to use you again. If you don't quickly thank the Supreme Emperor, what are you doing?"
When Huang Gongfu heard what his father-in-law said, he looked at Dongfang Zhu with tears streaming down his face. His rock-like heart suddenly softened. However, when he thought of Emperor Hongguang's kindness to him, he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Emperor Hongguang was kind to his ministers. He lived on the emperor's salary and died for the emperor. Thanks to the great love of the emperor, I am now in a desperate situation and regard death as home."
Senti advised: "Emperor Hongguang is not a direct descendant of Shenzong, but the four towns of Jiangbei and Liu Zongzhou. How can he be called the emperor? Only our emperor Wu Ding is the emperor who abdicated by the previous emperor Tianqi. This is known to the world. , the battle of Xiangyang, the battle of Hefei, the Qi army was invincible, and the people were eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's army. It can be seen that people's support is against them, and destiny is coming!"
Several civil servants next to him continued to persuade Huang Gongfu, but Liu Zhaosun waved his hand and ordered the mission to "settle in the Beiguan" and let him decide whether to stay or leave on his own.
In the next few days, Liu Zhaosun sent Ma Shiying, Sen Ti and others to persuade him to surrender.
Huang Gongfu just sat cross-legged and meditated in the guest room, saying nothing, neither agreeing nor running away.
Zhang Mazi led people to rush in several times to kill people, but Huang Gongfu unexpectedly "stretched his neck to bear the blade and remained unyielding."
The secret agent leader was helpless when he didn't eat food like this.
In addition, Huang Gongfu also went on a hunger strike to resist, going so far as to "not eat rice milk for seven days", showing his willingness to die for the country.
So how did such a stubborn Huang Shangshu finally surrender?
Regarding Huang Gongfu's surrender, there are three theories in the historians.
First, the "Records of Taizu" records that after the civil servants failed to persuade Huang to surrender, Wu Ding Huangqi personally went to the place where Huang Gongfu was under house arrest. When Huang Gongfu saw Liu Zhaosun, he stood up without kneeling, and he didn't care. It was the middle of winter. Emperor Wu Ding saw that Huang Gongfu's clothes were thin, so he took off his cloak and put it on Huang Gongfu himself, and was very concerned about him. So Huang Gongfu was moved, and he surrendered to Da Qi.
The second is the "Annals of the Da Qi Empire: Biography of Huang Gongfu", which states that Emperor Wu Ding wanted to subdue Huang Gongfu, so he ordered Ma Shiying to persuade him to surrender. When Ma Shiying saw Huang, he didn't mention surrender, but just talked about the past and the present for a long time. Later, Ma Shiying reported to Emperor Wuding that while chatting, snow water under the eaves splashed on Huang Gongfu's cloth shoes, and Huang Gongfu hurriedly avoided it. Ma Shiying judged that since he cherishes his shoes so much, he must cherish his life. Liu Zhaosun then visited in person. Seeing that Huang Gongfu's clothes were thin, he took off his mink fur and put it on him. After some greetings, Huang Gongfu was deeply moved and knelt down to surrender.
The third is the record in "The Secret History of Emperor Taizu" (the history of the Qi State in the mid-19th century). It is said that although Huang Gongfu was upright, he was quite lustful, so the Daqi Chief of Ceremonies Bingbi and the eunuch Dongfang Zhu personally lurked in Yangzhou and paid a lot of money to buy beautiful women. Ji, send the beauty to persuade you to surrender...
It is said that although this Yangzhou skinny horse is not a beautiful lady, he has been trained in bed skills since he was a child, and he is so charming that Huang Gongfu was fascinated. He just kept thinking wildly, and after some good seduction , Huang finally gave up the idea of martyrdom for his country, and instead agreed to surrender to Da Qi.
The first two theories are both documented in history, but the story of Dongfang Zhu using Zhuang Fei to seduce her is obviously a fabrication made by someone to attract traffic.
In short, before the winter of the second year of Taichu, all thirteen envoys surrendered to Da Qi and began to serve Emperor Wuding from then on.
~~~~~
In early November, just before the army was preparing to return to the north, Wang Huazhen interceded for Kang Yingqian and begged the Supreme Emperor to allow Kang to retire and return home.
Only then did Liu Zhaosun think of Kang Jianjun who was far away in Shenyang.
After Kang Yingqian lost power, those who had trampled the threshold of the Prime Minister's Office to pieces immediately fell to pieces and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone stayed away from Kang Yingqian, fearing that they would have any contact with Prime Minister Daqi and be implicated.
Only Qiao Yiqi, Wang Huazhen and Xie Yang never left their old partner and took good care of him.
Emperor Wu Ding read the memorial under the whale oil lamp, read it carefully several times, turned around and handed the memorial to the Empress Dowager Cisheng.
Jin Yuji winked at Pei Dahu, and the head servant asked the emperor:
"Kang Jianjun and Qiao Jianjun are old subordinates who have followed the Holy Master for many years. Although they have made some small mistakes, they are loyal to the great unity. Kang Yingqian is sixty-two, and he doesn't know how many years he can live..."
Liu Zhaosun said coldly: "Did he make some small mistakes? Tell me, what mistakes did he make?"
Pei Dahu was speechless. He was suddenly asked like this by the Supreme Emperor, which made him a little at a loss.
"Chen... Chen."
Emperor Wu Ding motioned for him to get up and speak.
"According to the report, I am not a cold-blooded person. Let them retire and return to their hometown. I will allocate 80,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and reward Kang Yingqian and Qiao Yiqi. In addition, I will allow them to bring their own guards back to their hometown."
Wang Huazhen and Pei Dahu thanked you in unison: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kindness."
Liu Zhaosun looked out the window with a complicated expression. The cold wind was howling outside, and the gloomy clouds hung low in the Huaiyang sky like black cotton. During the twelfth lunar month, a heavy snowfall would fall at any time.
"It's going to change. I'm going to kill people again."
