Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 175 Working in Collusion

"Haha, Brother Zhu, don't say that. To be honest, someone from Qi is already a Marquis outside the Great Wall!" Having said so much, Qi Zanyuan was also relieved to see that Zhu Chunchen finally got on the road.

"What marquis?" Zhu Chunchen couldn't sit still for a while. Only when things are lost, can they know how valuable they are, and the title is the same.

"Of course it's the Marquis of the Qing Dynasty!" Qi Zanchen's face suddenly became serious.

"Da Ming's life is exhausted, look at the people who are in the court hall now? A countryman, a shabby prodigal son can run and jump on the court hall, and dare to squat on our heads to shit!
It is tolerable or unbearable! "The countryman is talking about Huang Degong, the new governor of Xuanliao, and the prodigal son... must be Liu Hongjian, Marquis of Anguo.

Zhu Chunchen was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat.

Qing?Build slaves?Tartar?In an instant, words popped up in my mind.

Although he has not had any dealings with the Qing Dynasty since he inherited Cheng Guogong, as the governor of the five armies in charge of the world, he is naturally very familiar with this old opponent who has been fighting with the Ming Dynasty for decades.

Speaking of it, Zhu Chunchen didn't have any liking or dislike for the Qing Dynasty. After all, the soldiers who died in battle had nothing to do with him, and the dead were not his relatives. Besides, he also used the empty salary of the Qing Dynasty for several years.

Speaking of which, I should also thank others.

Zhu Chunchen remained silent, as if he was struggling in his heart.

He used to be the hereditary prince of the state, and he was once the nobleman among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, but what about the Qing Dynasty?For decades, it has been a serious problem for the court. If I really took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, what would future generations think of me, Mr. Zhu?

"Brother Zhu, why are you still hesitating? Now that you have lost your holy family and title, only that Huang Degong will let you go? And that man An Guohou, I had a feud with you before I heard about him.

Now Brother Zhu, you are bullied by dogs, do you still think they can let you go?
Even if they can let you go, the court can tolerate your mistakes, but what about your descendants?Your descendants have not been the Duke of the state for decades like you, how should the court treat them?

Brother Zhu, it’s not good, your old Zhu’s family..." Qi Zanyuan’s words were like knives, and every sentence pierced Zhu Chunchen’s heart, and Zhu Chunchen’s face became more and more ferocious when he heard it.

"Let's not talk about it, this old man used to work hard for the Ming Dynasty. For decades, he has worked for the imperial court tremblingly and like walking on thin ice. Now the emperor's relatives and ministers are full of native chickens and dogs. This old man is disappointed!

The old man is in a state of disarray right now, that's all, tell me, as long as the old man's descendants can keep their wealth and honor, the old man will listen to you! "

The more Zhu Chunchen thought about it, the more wronged he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt disappointed. He felt that his heartfelt efforts for decades had been fed to the dog, but in the end he choked down the wine on the table and said as if he had made up his mind.

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero, and the Qing Dynasty has another great talent. Master Fan thinks highly of Brother Zhu. I believe that as long as Master Fan learns about it, he will be very happy!" Qi Zanyuan was also full of joy on the face, but in his heart It is impossible to despise Zhu Chunchen.

Old thing, if Master Xiang didn't value your relationship in the palace, I would come here and tell you so much nonsense.

Everyone in the world knows that the prince consort Qi Zanyuan doesn't care about political affairs, but only likes to do business, but only he knows that the prince consort can't keep safe forever, and he is the consort of the former dynasty, and now the Emperor Chongzhen can't even see him face to face .

I want to keep my family business, and I want my children and grandchildren to trample down the untouchables like him.

Then he had to be willing to pay, so he sent all the four losers born to him and Princess Suiping to be concubines outside the customs. The officials in the clan manor who were in charge of recording the roster only needed him to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they were settled .

He is so thirsty and crazy about power, but he pretends to be a businessman who has no interest in political affairs. In terms of scheming, it is estimated that only Littlefinger in a later drama can compare with him.

When he heard the news that Zhu Chunchen had been expelled, he immediately ordered someone to write a memorandum stating Zhu Chunchen's numerous crimes, which was more "thought-provoking" than An Guohou's.

Then, at a cost of only a few thousand taels of silver, he bought a few impoverished censors and asked them to help continue to impeach Zhu Chunchen.

In fact, these censors still abide by the way of courtiers, so they accepted the letter. After all, it is their bounden duty to expose corruption.

But one tael of silver was confiscated, and the several thousand taels of silver were all stolen by the steward who delivered the letter.

Then came the current situation, Zhu Chunchen had no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth, so he had to fall into the trap set by Qi Zanchen.

And the reason why Qi Zanchen went to great lengths to do all this is because of one person, a person who can not only reach heaven, but also win the favor of the queen and Chongzhen——

Li Yunkui, the eunuch in charge of the internal official supervisor.

Although this person is not as powerful as Wang Cheng'en, the chief inspector of ceremonies, but he is also favored by Empress Zhou and Chongzhen. Moreover, this person's palace is full of meticulous work, and he is the first to know of almost any disturbance in the palace.

The most important thing is that Wang Chengen, the chief inspector of ceremonies, is getting old and has few days to live. When Wang Chengen vacates his seat, it is almost a certainty that Li Yunkui will join the supervisor of ceremonies.

During the Wanli period, if Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had not had the internal and external cooperation and full support of the eunuch Feng Bao, let alone reforms, even the former chief assistant Gao Gong would not have been able to defeat him.

Of course, there is no doubt about Li Yunkui's sincerity to Daming. In fact, most of the eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty were not bad. It is impossible to ask Li Yunkui to help him betray the court.

This is also the reason why Qi Zanyuan came to Zhu Chunchen.

In the early years when Li Yunkui was still a small supervisor of the internal official supervisor, he received the favor of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Cheng, and was promoted to the junior supervisor of the internal official supervisor.

So in the next few years after Li Yunkui was promoted to be the supervisor of internal officials, Li Yunkui was still very grateful to Zhu Chunchen, and the two supported each other internally and externally, which was no secret in the court.

And Qi Zanyuan's ultimate goal is to use Zhu Chunchen's relationship to find out about the Ming court's internal and external trends, as well as important military affairs.

This is a major event in the country, even if it is a setback, it is worth a try. Fortunately, Zhu Chunchen, an old horse, is finally tied down, and he can have an explanation when he goes back.

Maybe the regent will praise him greatly when he finds out. Qi Zanchen can almost imagine that after the big event is completed, he will be able to stand above the court of the Qing Dynasty in an open and aboveboard manner.

And Daming's group of so-called nobles who were raised like pigs in captivity will all kneel in front of him.

"I don't know who this Mr. Fan is mentioned by Brother Qi Xian?"

Unknowingly, the address of the two has changed from Duke of the State and Prince Consort to Brother Zhu and Brother Qi Xian, a conspirator and a down-and-out veteran dignitary.

"Who else can there be? Master Fan is the current minister of the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, who is known as the Prime Minister of the country!" Qi Zancong clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards the north.
