I have a cornucopia

Chapter 152 Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away
When Yang Feng and others went out, they found that thousands of scholars had gathered outside.

This is the inevitable result.

In fact, it was not just the exiled scholars who were dissatisfied with Shi Kefa's mediocrity...

It’s just a matter of coercion!
You all know that Li Zicheng held the emperor hostage to order the princes. You all know that all the imperial edicts were issued by this traitor and have nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor. This traitor even dared to steal the women given to His Majesty the Emperor. But you have never dared to break with it. Under the guise of protecting the emperor's safety, you have been living in peace and contentment, and just sit back and watch the people in the north suffer in the clutches of this traitor. What is the difference between you and the ministers? Are you just going to live in peace and quiet forever, like those emperors and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty who always regarded Hangzhou as Bianzhou? In the intoxicating warm wind, you forgot the fact that half of the Ming Dynasty was in the clutches of the devil?
Pooh!
A bunch of old men!

You old people occupy high positions. Not only do you not think about revolting for the country, reorganizing the country, and restoring the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, but you also suppress these young people who are truly ambitious, passionate and powerful, unable to get ahead.

Aren’t you just after power?

As long as you continue to live with Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng will not dismiss you from office.

And others don’t have the power to dismiss you from office.

You can always be your ministers and governors.

Really.

Only by breaking the relationship between the two parties and clearly restoring Li Zicheng to Chuangni will those of them who have been eager to return to officialdom have a chance, and now is the critical moment to break the status quo.

He was one of those who were dismissed and never used. From the fact that he happily ran to become an official for me in the Qing Dynasty, we can see that he was still eager to be an official. After all, he was also the second in the class. He studied hard for so many years in Hanchuang. He was ranked second in the rankings, and he was full of pride and ambition. However, the next year, he was innocently blamed by Chongzhen because his father was defeated and committed suicide. Then he was not only kicked out of the Hanlin Academy, but also never used.

Of course, there is no need to move, after all, no one will remove their positions, so as long as they do not break with Li Zicheng, they can always occupy these official positions.

This is actually the key.

Therefore, Zhang Guowei's new army had no support.

It's not a last resort, there's no need to send him up to kill him.

The latter wanted the army under their own control, not the court's army.

In fact, not only Xu Shiqi but also Zhang Guowei were also in the capital. After they were kicked out of the capital deliberately by Chongzhen, Xu Shiqi was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Nanjing, and Zhang Guowei was kicked to Zhejiang to become the restored governor of Zhejiang Province. In fact, he was asked to form a new army in Zhejiang. , this was Chongzhen's plan for going south, but this plan died when Chongzhen fell into the hands of Li Zicheng.

This must have an imperial edict, and it cannot be solved by manipulation by the officials.

This is very annoying.

However, the team training of Xu Du, Chen Zilong and others received full support.

Although Nanjing can currently use the Jiuqing Conference to decide government affairs, the problem is that the power to replace them lies with Li Zicheng. Although the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs can maintain the promotion of some officials with relatively low official positions in various places, not to mention these ministers and governors, it is the local layout The envoys and soldiers were prepared, but they could not move.

The latter, surrounded by a group of old ministers and scholars, walked towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate like a hero, followed by a mighty team of thousands of people.

But Chen Zhilin cannot be considered a rural eunuch.

"Mr. Su'an, Mr. Meicun, students have a clear conscience. Not to mention going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even going to the Jinyiwei Prison, they only have a pair of iron bones!"

The imperial edict needed to be issued from Li Zicheng.

"Even if he puts on a disguise, he can't change the emphasis in his speech. The words he uses are different from ours. The fox's tail can't be hidden after all."

But asking Li Zicheng for an imperial edict would give him an opportunity to blackmail him.

Zhang Guowei hurriedly stopped him.

How unjust is this to Tamar?

"do not go."

Zhang Guowei sneered.

Then the two guys were there, watching Yang Feng's performance.

How many times in the dead of night he couldn't help but cry.

"Is it him?"

Not only scholars, but even some old officials in Nanjing showed up...

After all, this was Chongzhen's plan, not the plan of the Jiangnan gentry.

How many high officials of the original court, such as Qianyi and Hou Xun, who were in opposition, were waiting to revolt, how many young officials were waiting to be promoted, how many scholars were waiting to enter the officialdom, but if these old men refused to get out, they would have no chance at all. As long as these old men don't anger Li Zicheng, the latter will never withdraw them. Anyway, Li Zicheng just wants to extort some food from time to time. As long as the amount does not cause resistance, these old guys will give it to him. In fact, up to now, they have given Li Zicheng more than 800,000 stones and transported them to Nanyang via the Han River. How Li Zicheng transported them to Guanzhong has nothing to do with them. Of course, as long as there is food there, Li Zicheng will transport it there even if he organizes porters to pick it up in Xi'an. The price of rice in Xi'an is now comparable to that in the capital, so he doesn't care about anything else. Therefore, the two parties maintain this strange relationship, tacitly understanding that they will never break it, but it also means that if they don't break it, Qian Qianyi and others will never have a chance. I'm afraid this is the real reason for them to cause trouble.

Behind him is Wu Weiye, my in-law from the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty.

Break the status quo.

……

"Trustworthy, don't be afraid, I will go with you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Albert Wu immediately praised.

Yang Feng didn't notice that Xu Shiqi was looking at him with a deep expression not far away.

I, the great scholar Chen Zhilin, the Taibao of the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, patted Yang Feng on the shoulder and said.

Yang Feng said.

Xu Shiqi said immediately.

Xu Shiqi looked at him doubtfully.

"Let's go find Shi Daolin."

"Okay, it turns out that he is a hero of Yan and Zhao, and what he wants is this strong and strong character!"

As for Zhang Guowei's secret trip to Nanjing this time, it was because of the current situation in Nanjing. After all, after Zuo Liangyu occupied Nanjing, it was his responsibility as the governor of Zhejiang Province to deal with it next, although a crusade was definitely impossible. The Elders' Associations in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other prefectures have made it clear that they will not send out regiments to expel Zuo Liangyu. This has nothing to do with them. In fact, Qian Qianyi, who has returned long ago, is still secretly lobbying the Suzhou Elders' Association to support Zuo Liangyu. In fact, there was an undercurrent in Jiangnan. Zhang Guowei had to go to the capital to discuss it with Shi Kefa and others. However, he and Xu Shiqi did not expect to see someone here who should not be here.

"What's the use of Shi Daolin knowing about it? Now it's Zuo Liangyu who wants His Majesty to die. Even without Yang Feng, Zuo Liangyu will have to confirm the matter. If he knows that Yang Feng is in Nanjing City, he will probably mobilize his elite to plan. Kill him. If Yang Feng dies in Nanjing, no one can stop Zuo Liangyu. Even if he welcomes the prince back, he will end up like Gao Huan.

If Yang Feng wins, he will still be Gao Huan when his army enters Nanjing.

They are all tigers and wolves.

Whoever wins will lose.

But let the tigers and wolves fight, Ming Dynasty still has a glimmer of hope.

What's more, even if the choice is the lesser of two evils, it will be Yang Feng instead of Zuo Liangyu. Since he has already taken action, let's forget about it and let him do whatever he wants! "Zhang Guowei said sadly.

Xu Shiqi was also speechless.

Indeed, whoever wins, Yang Feng or Zuo Liangyu, will end up with Huanhuan. What's more, even if you choose one of the two, you will choose Yang Feng instead of Zuo Liangyu. Yang Feng is at least still a human being. Zuo Liangyu is a beast. , Yang Feng's role as Huanhuan, at least it won't be too ugly, after all, there is a princess in the middle, but Zuo Liangyu's role as Huanhuan is to lead the beast to eat people, he has no bonds, even Huanhuan is To beautify him, he is just like Zhu Wen.

The two solitary loyalists of Chongzhen looked sadly at the chaos outside.

"Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away."

Xu Shiqi sighed.

At this time, Yang Feng was surrounded by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was not far away.

As for the results...

Of course there will be no suspense.

Su Jing, the censor of the right capital, and Zhang Shenyan, the censor of the right deputy capital, are also Donglin elders. One has evil intentions, and the other, although considered a loyal minister, has long been deceived by Hou Xun and Qian Qianyi. They jointly confirmed Yang Feng's identity. At the same time, Zuo Liangyu's so-called chamberlain was also sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The latter cooperated very well and was heartbroken about the death of the chamberlain that Yang Feng made up, and said that it was his good friend. They witnessed Li Zicheng strangle Chongzhen to death, and then burned him for fear of being discovered. In the end, the emperor turned into ashes. Got praised.

Of course, Su Jing and Zhang Shenyan only confirmed Yang Feng's identity. He was indeed a student in Guangping Prefecture. Su Jing had heard of his father, although it was not certain whether he was his father's son. As for the emperor's death, , they certainly cannot confirm directly.

But it's already possible.

This matter has entered official discussion.

And that night, the chamberlain suddenly died suddenly where they were under house arrest.

As for Yang Shengyuan from Guangping Prefecture, he disappeared mysteriously.

Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu furiously ordered a city-wide search, but nothing was found. At the same time, rumors spread in the city that Yang Sheng had been killed like the servant. As for the person who killed them, it was of course Shi Kefa.

As for the reason...

He doesn't want to rebel!

He wanted to continue to live quietly and did not want to anger Li Zicheng.

So he sent people to assassinate the chamberlain and kidnapped Yang Sheng, trying to threaten the latter to change his story, but the latter refused with awe and righteousness. In the end, he became angry and poisoned Yang Sheng and sank him in Xuanwu Lake, so that he could neither live nor die. . Moreover, this rumor evolved into many versions in just one day. In the afternoon of the same day, the scholars besieged Shi Kefa again. The latter was injured by someone unknown in the chaos, and the next day he was too injured to be in charge. The meeting recommended agents, but he himself recommended Jiang Yueguang. This recommendation was immediately approved by the Jiuqing Conference. Finally, Jiang Yueguang, who had just returned from Huai'an, acted as the agent for the affairs of the Nanjing Ministry of War. Then, when Zuo Liangyu attended the meeting, the Nanjing court stopped sending reports to him on the grounds that it was rumored that His Majesty was killed by Li Zicheng. Guanzhong Water Transport stopped accepting all decrees issued by Xi'an, and jointly submitted a letter demanding that His Majesty the Emperor of Xi'an must go south...

Guazhou.

"It's ridiculous. You are going to lose your mind by using a rumor to predict the emperor's fall?"

Yang Feng looked at the joint petition.

This was sent specially for him to sign. Of course, this petition must be signed by all the governors from all over the country, but there is no need for others to worry. The key is Yang Feng, the governor of Jiliao. As long as he signs, it will be fine, or as long as he does not object. No one will object, but if he objects, it’s hard to say how many will object.

In fact, there must be a lot of opposition. Even the Nanjing officials who signed it actually signed it under the personal supervision of Zuo Liangyu.

No signature?
Then I won’t have to sign it in this life.

It's even worse for the governors in various places. Ma Shiying would not support it in the first place.

After all, he would bear the brunt of the fight, but he was very satisfied with how he managed to survive.

"Shaobao misunderstood. His Majesty's murder was just a rumor. But it concerns your Majesty, so we have to be cautious. We still have to investigate. That's why we wrote to ask your Majesty to visit Nandu. As long as your Majesty can go to Nandu, the rumor will naturally be false. But Li Zicheng If he refuses to let His Majesty go, then of course he has something in his heart. His Majesty's murder may be true. After all, this traitor does such crazy things. At that time, we will have no choice but to attack this traitor. "

The censor Yi Jing who sent this petition quickly explained.

Indeed, we cannot directly say that Chongzhen is dead.

But you can ask Li Zicheng to let Chongzhen go south. If you don't let him go, you have something wrong in your heart.

If you don't let go, you will have committed regicide.

"Then if Li Zicheng leads an army of 800,000 people and personally escorts His Majesty to Nandu, how do you want to face it?"

Yang Feng sneered.

"Uh?"

Zhou Yushi was confused for a moment.

"A bunch of idiots, haven't you even thought about this?"

Yang Feng said.

Then he tore up the letter.

"Go back and tell the princes of Nandu that the news that His Majesty was killed is false. The people I sent to pay tribute to Your Majesty just came back last month. They have seen Your Majesty and are sure that it is Your Majesty. Moreover, I have asked Li Zicheng to invite Princess Zhaoren to Nandu. You wait a month or two, and after Princess Zhaoren arrives in Nandu, it will become clear whether His Majesty is true or not. "

Yang Feng said while tearing it apart.

This thing is not actually made of paper, and it still takes some effort to tear it apart.

He did ask Li Zicheng to ask for Zhaoren. This was what her sister asked for. After all, in her sister's opinion, Zhaoren was also very dangerous in the hands of Li Zicheng. It would be best if he could come over. She is a little girl and it won't affect anything. Li Zicheng said It's no use holding her. It is estimated that Li Zicheng will agree. After all, she really has no influence, but it is impossible to ask the prince to come. Li Zicheng is also planning to depose the prince and make him the new prince once Nanjing welcomes the prince.

"Shaobao, your Excellency claims that you are sworn in with Chuangtei. I am a little confused. Why don't you see your Excellency to avenge the murder of my father?"

Zhou Yijing looked at his arrogant face and said with suppressed anger.

Yang Feng looked at him in surprise.

The next moment, he suddenly threw the torn letter in his hand on his face.

"Damn it, what's wrong with you? I'm the right deputy censor, and I want you to be the censor to teach me?"

Yang Feng cursed in obvious irritation.

Then he kicked Zhou Yushi down, took the riding crop from his subordinates and whipped it wildly...

"Go back and tell Zuo Liangyu, don't think that I don't know what he wants to do. How dare he reach out for my money? Who is he? A wild dog that was beaten by Li Zicheng and ran away with its head in its arms. How dare he grab the meat from my bowl?"

He cursed as he whipped.

Poor Zhou Yushi, who accidentally opened his scar, could only scream in agony as he beat him severely.
