After finally hearing a satisfactory answer, Zhu Cixiang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Zhu Chunchen: "Mr. Cheng Guo, I didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian was so cunning. He has been dead for so many years and his ghost is still there."
Wei Zhongxian is really unjust
Zhu Chunchen said in his heart: Wei Zhongxian has been dead for so many years, and you are still using it. It is really unfair.
"What Mr. Qiansui said is absolutely true." Don't say what's in your heart casually. Zhu Chunchen naturally told lies with a righteous face, "Wei Zhongxian is a cunning and cruel thief, and he also wants to seek great power. Therefore, he has planted close friends and deployed in many directions, which has caused great harm." Ju, he is truly the most treacherous person in history."
Are you talking about Wei Zhongxian? After Zheng Sen heard Zhu Chunchen's evaluation of Wei Zhongxian, he thought of his junior brother Zhu Cixiang.
Zhu Cixiang had an angry look on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this time the rebellion in Nandu was caused by Wei Zhongxian's remnants of Zhu Guobi. Tell me honestly, are you remnants of the eunuchs colluding with the Eastern captives to kidnap the emperor? Traitor to the country”
Why are there still Tongfan traitors?
Zhu Guobi was shaking so much that he couldn't speak. His crime is already very great, and his hope of survival is very slim. Now there is another Tongfan traitor, and he must be executed without delay.
Zhu Cixiang saw that Zhu Guobi was so frightened that he could not speak, so he put on a gentler expression and said, "Zhu Guobi, don't be afraid. Although you have committed an unforgivable crime, I have always been merciful. As long as you can If your conscience is discovered, you sincerely repent, and you honestly confess your crime, I will be able to grant you extrajudicial mercy and spare your life. Instead of sending you to a senior officer, you will be sent to Majishan to be imprisoned. I will also give you a life. You can live with tens of thousands of taels of silver. Think carefully whether you have any intention of betraying the country."
Zhu Guobi was confused after hearing this. What on earth did Prince Zhu want to do?
Zhu Chunchen saw that Zhu Guobi was so frightened that he couldn't speak, so he helped Zhu Cixiang comfort him and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhu Guobi's words are gold-plated words. Don't you believe it? Stop talking. The crime you have committed now is already so serious that you will be killed or beheaded." That’s enough, a few more will do nothing. Why don’t you recognize them all, and then you go and expose whoever the prince asks you to expose.”
Only then did Zhu Guobi suddenly realize that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted him, "a traitorous eunuch rebel who had penetrated into Donglin," to bite people.
If he is "a traitorous eunuch rebel who broke into Donglin", then the Donglin gentleman who was bitten by him as an accomplice would not be able to cleanse himself by jumping into the Yangtze River.
And with this function of intimidating Mr. Donglin, of course he can live a good life.
"The guilty minister remembered it. The guilty minister is really Wei Zhongxian's traitor. The guilty minister was entrusted by Wei Zhongxian to win over many hypocrites in Donglin. Huang Shu, who is now on the run, is one of them."
Zhu Cixiang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, this is a meritorious service. Now tell me, how did you betray the country? How did you contact Dorgon?"
Also, how do you make this up?
Zhu Guobi couldn't tell stories, so he had to look at Zhu Chunchen for help.
Zhu Chunchen asked with a stern face: "Zhu Guobi, tell me honestly, is Sun Zhixian, the remnant of the eunuch party who was sent by Dorgon this time, a middleman for you to betray the country? You must have contacted Sun Zhixian before starting the incident in Jinling. , who wants to hold the emperor hostage and betray the country in the name of the emperor, isn’t that true?”
The story was well written and even Sun Zhixian somehow brought it along with him. Sun Zhixian was a die-hard eunuch. In the early years of Chongzhen, the court officials requested that the three dynasties' dian be destroyed, but he went to the Ancestral Temple to cry bitterly with the three dynasties' dian. As a result, he was regarded as a hardcore member of the eunuch party, and he lost his status and returned to his hometown.
Although many years have passed since the incident, Sun Zhixian is still despised by the scholars. Now he has become the Minister of War of Donglu. He is a hardcore eunuch and a hardcore traitor. If the purpose of his coming south is to collude with the traitors of the Nanjing Eunuch Party represented by Zhu Guobi, then the charge of treason with the Eunuch Party traitors can be confirmed.
They are both eunuchs and traitors. Whoever gets involved will be infamy for thousands of years.
Therefore, Zhu Guobi is no longer Zhu Cixiang's enemy, but the weapon used by Zhu Cixiang to rectify Jiangnan Shilin.
"Zhu Guobi, it's good that you can repent." Zhu Cixiang said warmly, "Now Zhao Zhilong, like you, has repented and confessed all his crimes. But Han Zanzhou is stubborn and unwilling to admit that he is a remnant of the eunuch party. You Go with Zhao Zhilong to persuade him and tell him clearly that I don’t have to kill him, as long as he can be like you. How can I not tolerate a dying old eunuch? Not only can I keep him , and you can also let him serve the Holy One."
As for eunuchs, there must be an eunuch to decorate the facade, otherwise they are all able-bodied men and not convincing enough.
Therefore, Han Zanzhou, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing, is also a "treasure". As for Zhang Shenyan, who was arrested together with Han Zanzhou, Zhu Cixiang didn't expect him to bite anyone randomly, so he didn't interrogate, question or kill him, so he just locked him up and settled the matter.
Anyway, he is already terminally ill. He will die after a while. Let’s just pretend that there is no such person as him.
"Damu, Chunfan, Grand Duke, what do you think?"
Qian Qianyi's old eyes seemed to be closed, and he held up his gray-haired head, just looking at the confessions of Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Chunchen.
There was silence in the room, and his three disciples, Zheng Sen, Ji Kun and Grand Duke Luo, were all speechless for a moment.
Qian Qianyi is the leader of Donglin and has been famous for a long time. Of course, many people worship him as their teacher. Zheng Sen was just one of them, and he wasn't exactly his favorite disciple. It was just that Zhu Cixiang was particularly interested in him. Ji Kun, on the other hand, had just become Qian Qianyi's disciple not long ago. Ji Kun is now the Zuoban Supervisory Censor, who specializes in investigating corruption among civil servants. Qian Qianyi is so corrupt, so of course he had to win over him early to give himself some air. Report the news.
The Songjiang Juren Luo Dagong was Qian Qianyi's real protégé, and Luo Dagong's "Dagong" name was given to him by Qian Qianyi. Because Qian Qianyi believed that he did not love power, wealth and beautiful women. He was an upright gentleman who only loved the emperor and Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. So he praised him for his selflessness and even gave him the title of "Da Gong", hoping that he would inherit his mantle.
However, Grand Duke Luo's performance in the examination room was not good. He failed in the two examinations in Chongzhen 13 and Chongzhen 16, and was not in high school.
After a long while, Qian Qianyi's Gao Tuluo Grand Duke finally broke the silence: "Teacher, I'm afraid this matter is aimed at Qingliu Wu. We have to be more careful in the future. If we are accused of being a remnant of the eunuchs and a traitor to the country, we will be in trouble." If you look like a coquettish person, you might even be ruined."
Qian Qianyi glanced at the disciple and sighed softly. My favorite disciple is not very old, but he behaves like an old man, without any motivation. A gentleman in Donglin must have backbone, dare to stand up to powerful ministers and eunuchs, dare to petition for the people and landlords, dare to stand up and speak out
Seeing the disappointed expression on the teacher's face, Grand Duke Luo hurriedly continued: "Teacher, this is also a rare opportunity for us."
"Opportunity" Qian Qianyi raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: You have stepped forward to advocate for the people of Jiangnan.
"Tell me about it." Qian Qianyi said again.
Grand Duke Luo twirled his beard, which was not very long under his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Master Qiansui calls himself the Prince of Donglin and beats his opponent as an eunuch. His intention is very obvious. He just wants to win over us. Donglin succeeds, thus controlling the clear flow of materials in the south of the Yangtze River."
Qian Qianyi nodded and smiled, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Grand Duke Luo thought about it and said: "The prince only sees a few big guys now and ignores the talents below. This way it is difficult to fully control Qingliu Wuyi. The ones who really dare to speak are not the big guys above, but the talents below." Jun. And we are just there to recruit a group of young talents for Chitose and act as Chitose’s mouthpiece.”
When he said this, he already showed a proud smile, "This is actually what this Qingliu material discussion is about. First, it pays attention to the number of people and loud voices; second, the people in the sedan chair carry people. Isn't he going to be the Prince of Donglin? We can look for more Some talented people come to support him and say good things for him."
