I have a cornucopia

Chapter 151 Men who want to be part of the Homecoming Group

Poor Hou Fangyu and others still don't know that they are surrounded by a wolf in sheep's clothing...

Of course, Du Li is not a good person either.

He actually cooperated with Yang Feng and acted as a villain to paralyze Hou Fangyu and others.

Including his uncle.

His uncle is a core member of Fushe.

His special status actually made Hou Fangyu and others disgusted with him. However, because his uncle could only be hypocritical, his opposition would naturally be supported by Hou Fangyu and others, mainly Yang Feng. I'm afraid that my acting will be too fake and these guys will see the flaws. Although Hou Fangyu was a bit smarter when he was proposing plans for the Qing Dynasty to drain the Yellow River, his performance in history was actually quite ordinary. However, there were still many smart people among the Fushe members in Nanjing at this time.

You need to get insurance.

With Du Li cooperating with him, it was enough for Hou Fangyu and others not to doubt him.

He, a wolf in sheep's clothing, descended from the Lion Rock surrounded by sheep. Poor Du Li was left alone to enjoy the wind.

He held the emperor hostage to order the princes, so you stupid old people just pretended not to see it?

Everyone looked a little impatient.

Because of the long distance, Hou Fangyu sent his slaves to blow whistles and call people on the road...

"You are a student member of Guangping Prefecture. Who is your teacher? Where do you live? Who is your father?"

Reasoning with a group of scholars who were slapped by him?

……

How can they fight back?
So they don't care at all whether the news Yang Feng said is true or false. Even if it is false, they still have to say it is true.

"Shi Gong, are you saying that the students lied?"

If you take mine, give it back to me; if you eat mine, spit it out!
but……

In this way, the dreams of these exiled scholars were ruined.

"Shi Gong, you haven't answered my question yet."

They mounted their horses and went straight to the Nanjing Military Headquarters.

"Shigong, why are you talking about these irrelevant things at this time? Since His Majesty has already been killed by Chuangtei, the Southern Capital, with the Duke as its leader, should raise its arms and call on the loyal and righteous people in the world to fight against this thief, and quickly send envoys to the north to meet him. The prince went south to take the throne. Ning Nanbo's army was here, so he asked Ning Nanbo to take charge of the military affairs and mobilize his generals. However, loyalty and righteousness in the world have been struggling for a long time, and everyone in the world follows the banner of righteousness to reorganize the Ming Dynasty. Rebuilding mountains and rivers will achieve eternal glory.”

"Push against rebellion, protect the country and fight against rebellion!"

Isn’t it just sacrificing Chongzhen?

"Nonsense, how can one rumor determine the emperor's downfall?"

In the end, when Yang Feng and his party arrived in the south of the city, thousands of people had gathered.

They used to live a happy life in their hometown with houses, fields, and many beautiful wives and concubines. However, after Li Zicheng passed away, they had nothing. They could only run away with their fame and fame on their heads, and lived a life of idleness in Nandu. The only fun we had together was imagining the beautiful scene where the imperial army would fight back and then they would happily join the returning regiment.

This dog emperor has torn the world apart for seventeen years, causing them to leave their hometowns and ruining their beautiful lives. It would be no pity for an emperor like this to die long ago. His death would be the most satisfying thing. If he doesn't die, he must die. . As long as he dies, Shi Kefa and others will have no excuse to maintain their relationship with Li Zicheng. They will have to break with Li Zicheng and crusade. Only when Nandu crusade against Li Zicheng can they, the exiled scholars, have a chance to kill him back with three swords. There was no opportunity in the past, but now there is an opportunity. Of course, it is impossible to miss it no matter what. Shi Kefa has to do it even if he doesn't want to do it.

These old guys from Tamar's Nandu actually accepted the imperial edict issued by Li Zicheng?
He is a rebel!
He is a piece of shit King Qin.

Shigebu is so funny.

The excited scholars shouted.

He said.

Just go to the Imperial College and shout.

Hou Fangyu said.

Who can be rational at this time?

Just like the masters at Peking University during the warlord war, they clung to the Imperial College.

But it is indeed the case.

Yang Feng said calmly.

In fact, many of these guys came to Nandu to seek refuge from various places.

Of course, they were really impatient.

Shi Kefa looked at this guy with complicated eyes...

Yang Feng said dissatisfied.

Shi Kefa, who found out their purpose, immediately became angry.

Both the Dukes of Nandu and the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River seemed to be prepared to go on like this, turning a blind eye to the fact that Li Zicheng was holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. Instead, they continued to maintain their recognition of the so-called imperial court in Xi'an, and then continued trade between various places. .

Now because the city is full of Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, these young men don't dare to show off outside like they used to. If they are spotted and robbed by soldiers, they will have to consider themselves unlucky. No one will give them anything anyway. To uphold justice, the Imperial College became their largest gathering place.

All the talents have arrived!
Then they all burst into the Nanjing Military Department Yamen with excitement about the news...

Anyway, most of them are there.

"Your Excellency, please give the order!"

They obviously wanted to settle down in a corner, and would rather go on like the ministers.

This is not possible!

It was no longer up to him.

"Mr. Yang, to answer my question, you are a student member of Guangping Prefecture. Who is that teacher? Where are you from, and who is your father?"

Shi Kefa shouted in the confusion to Yang Feng who was looking at him and smiling.

The latter's smile can be said to be unscrupulous.

"Shi Gong, trustworthiness is a student's classmate. Does Shi Gong want to check even the students?"

One of the scholars, who clearly had an accent from Guangping Prefecture, said angrily.

"Shi Gong, the student and Shouxin have known each other for twenty years, does Shi Gong even doubt the student?"

Another scholar shouted.

"Shi Gong, Emperor Daxing has entrusted you with important responsibilities and treated you as a loyal minister. Your Excellency learned that Emperor Daxing was killed for rebellion. Not only did he not retaliate against rebellion, but he also made things difficult for him. I don't know what you will do in the future. Facing Zuo Zhongyi?”

The other simply attacked Shi Kefa righteously.

Shi Kefa...

He was already convinced that Yang Feng was here specifically to spread rumors.

It's not like he can't even see this.

I just don’t know which force it belongs to.

He is also considered to have great power. Although Zuo Liangyu has the final say in Nanjing now, he can at least order this guy to be arrested and tortured. But the problem is that he has never been a decisive person. He is an official with certain talents, and his integrity is worthy of recognition, but it must be understood that he is not a person who can act decisively in complex situations like a decision-maker who can turn the tide.

He is a civil servant.

A standard civil servant of the Ming Dynasty.

Being conservative, looking forward and backward, being indecisive...

He is not the hero who turns the tide.

Just look at his performance in Hongguang Dynasty in history and you will understand.

Caught between Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party, he really did nothing useful except escape.

Now that he is facing the fierce public sentiment, he cannot make a decisive decision either. He does not want to be scolded as a traitor by the scholars. He is also afraid that Yang Feng is arranged by the Donglin Party. He does not want to offend his old friends. He is also worried that Yang Feng is Zuo Liangyu. The people may even be sent by Dorgon. If it is the latter, it means that Dorgon is eager to negotiate peace and send the prince back. And of course he knew in his heart that it would be a shame to continue to recognize Li Zicheng's court.

He also wanted the prince to succeed him.

But he didn't want to bear the stain of betraying Chongzhen.

What's more, he has always loved these scholars.

It was enough to shoot and beat the unruly people when they caused trouble, but even if these people scolded him in person, he had to coax them like tolerating naughty children, but he could not hurt them, not even emotionally...

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say!"

he shouted anxiously amid the confusion.

听？
What the hell!

Who would listen to the explanation in this case?
They have all been dominated by emotions, and the voice of reason is like a gnat amidst the fanatical shouts of the scholars.

"Uncle Ning Nan is here!"

Suddenly there was a shout outside.

It fell silent inside for a moment.

Shi Kefa, who was still surrounded, quickly pushed away the soldiers who were besieging him. At the same time, with the sound of steel, a group of servants like wolves and tigers rushed in, and then Zuo Liangyu, who was wearing a python robe, walked in proudly, but it looked like He doesn't look too good when he looks up, and he may have begun to suffer from physical problems.

This guy is pretty good-looking, and he has the demeanor of a somewhat decent person.

After all, that would win Hou Xun's favor.

"Shi Gong, what are you doing?"

he said in feigned surprise.

Hou Fangyu immediately stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle Ning Nan, this is Yang Shouxin, a member of the Guangping family. He has just fled from the north. He has obtained conclusive evidence. His Majesty has been murdered by the rebels a long time ago. The one who is now in Xi'an is just a fake. We are here to ask for help. The Duke issued an order to suppress rebellion, but Shi Gong refused to believe it."

He said.

"That's a coincidence. Quanzi just sent a chamberlain from Wuchang who escaped from Xi'an. He also said that His Majesty had been killed a long time ago."

Zuo Liangyu stared at Shi Kefa and said deeply.

Shi Kefa...

"Uncle Ning Nan, this matter is serious and needs to be verified."

Shi Kefa said also somewhat profoundly.

"Shi Gong still has doubts?"

Zuo Liangyu said.

Shi Kefa was obviously struggling.

Of course he understood Zuo Liangyu's true purpose of raiding Nanjing. It was impossible for him not to find out what Yang Guanguang could find out, but the problem was that he could also find out the other part that Yang Guanguang could find out. Hou Xun and others' move was obviously a bit naive. They thought that if they raised their arms in Nanjing, the wise people in Jiangnan would immediately respond in droves, but in fact there would not be many. The wealthy families in Jiangnan just want to survive. They don't want to break up with Li Zicheng. The current situation is the best for them. Let Li Zicheng, Yang Feng, Dorgon and others fight in the north while Jiangnan continues to sing and dance. Shengping can also take the opportunity to develop and build their own military force.

The only ones who are eager to break up are Hou Xun, Qian Qianyi and other politicians who have lost power. They want to turn around by breaking up.

There were also the northern exiled gentry.

They want to fight back by tearing their faces apart.

And what Zuo Liangyu wants is Huanhuan to become the Ming Dynasty by revolting against rebellion...

He just wanted to be Huanhuan.

Once Nanjing uses this to fight against rebellion and welcome the prince to the south to succeed him, then he will be the Ming Dynasty's Huanhuan. He will control the capital, influence the government, and command the world. Li Zicheng will hold the emperor to order the princes and become a leftist. It is not impossible for Liangyu to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes to change the dynasty one day.

He understands everything.

but……

“It’s always worth checking.”

He said with obvious lack of confidence.

"Then let's check it out. But I'm not a judicial officer. I'll ask Mr. Shi to take charge of the investigation, and the chamberlain will also be handed over to Mr. Shi."

Zuo Liangyu smiled and said.

Then he turned and looked at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng stood there with a solemn and upright face, as if he had a clear conscience.

Zuo Liangyu nodded and left with his servants.

There was silence in the lobby.

"Master Shi, how do you want to investigate? Should I be tortured or put on a stick? Should I go to the Imperial Guard, the Criminal Department, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Yang Feng said calmly.

Shi Kefa looked at him deeply.

Whoever checks it means what result he wants.

The Minister of Punishment is Xu Shiqi, and behind him is the Suzhou Elders Association, Su Song's aristocratic family. I'm afraid they will not investigate and find out that the emperor is dead. Moreover, Xu Shiqi himself is loyal to Chongzhen, and he will not let himself be blamed for being disloyal to Chongzhen. stain. If you let the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate, it must be false, because the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was Su Jing sent by Yang Feng, and the current situation was originally manipulated by Yang Feng. Let the Jinyi Guards investigate, then it must be true. The Jinyiwei are controlled by the Honorable Group, who are trembling under Zuo Liangyu's power and begging for mercy. Zuo Liangyu's look tells them what they should find out.

"Send to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Shi Kefa said.

This can be regarded as his last effort to save the situation.

In other words, he can make himself feel worthy of Chongzhen.

"Let's go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Yang Feng said.

"Let's go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Hou Fangyu raised his arms and shouted.

Then the scholars surrounded Yang Feng and walked outside like a hero. When he was about to go out, the scholar who called himself his classmate quietly squeezed beside him, and then secretly stuffed a note into his hand. Yang Feng turned to look at him, and he looked at Yang Feng, all without saying a word.

As for the note, of course it was his exact identity.

He was born in Handan County, Guangping Prefecture, his father's name, and his teacher. He was a scholar in that year, and even a private school teacher.

So these scholars from Guangping must have known that he was a fake, but there is nothing strange about this kind of thing. Maybe they are Tongsheng who fled, or maybe not even Tongsheng from Guangping Prefecture, who deliberately lied about being a scholar for the sake of convenience. . This kind of thing is very common. When Xu Xiake traveled around, he just lied about being a scholar and then wore a scholar's shirt. In fact, he was not a scholar, but just a boy. And it was hard to say whether he could pass the exam. His great-grandfather was imprisoned together with Tang Bohu because of the imperial examination fraud case. It is hard to say whether he was imprisoned for one generation or for generations. Anyway, the Xu family has disappeared from official career since then.

Of course, his family is not short of money.

Let alone a few thousand acres, there may be tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River!

Children's costume shows are a common thing.

But now he had to give him this identity, so this genuine scholar from Guangping Prefecture found him an identity that could withstand investigation.

But this guy is simply overthinking.

Shi Kefa thought that if Yang Feng was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Su Jing would definitely find out that he was a fake. Little did he know that it was only when he was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate that he would be found out to be genuine. Instead, he was sent to the Ministry of Punishments. Xu Shiqi recognized him at a glance. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing...

It's not like Xu Shiqi doesn't recognize him. The beard on his face is not enough for Xu Shiqi to recognize him.
