Chapter 77: Settlement of Accounts
Roosters crowing in the ten directions of the waning moon, and a little candlelight catches the morning light.
Zhu Changqing stood in the garden sweating profusely, with a Qin sword dancing with all sides.
Li Bao stood in the distance, holding a sweat towel in his hand, and looked at his highness with admiration.
In the garden, flowers bloom, bees and butterflies circling, the fragrance is refreshing.
Next to the huge three-dimensional map, there were three people kneeling, with their heads hanging down, and their faces unkempt.
They have been kneeling here for an hour.
Zhu Dadian moved his knee slightly, and it felt like something had broken the bone, and it hurt so much.
Ma Shiying looked dead and looked like she had no business.
Chen Hongfan wanted to look up from time to time, but he was pressed by the guards of the royal palace standing behind him.
After Zhu Changqing finished practicing swords, Li Bao handed over a sweat towel, wiped the sweat, and walked to the three of them.
"It's time to finish the old thing today." Zhu Changqing gasped slightly and glanced at the people and said.
"Please spare my life, the criminal is willing to make meritorious service!" Chen Hongfan hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. He has been detained these days, and he has eaten and drunk food every day, which makes him frightened and feels that he is about to set off every day.
"I will spare you, have the Qing people spared Zuo Maodi?" Zhu Changqing glared at Chen Hongfan and said.
Chen Hongfan was silent for a moment, and his original desire to survive was extinguished by Lu Wang's words.
He knew that the Northern Mission had been known by King Lu, and he had no chance of life.
But he was still confused in his heart how King Lu knew the inside story.
"Zhu Dadian, go back and do things."
"Hey! I'll go now, thank the governor!"
Zhu Dadian hurriedly saluted and stood up, lifted his robe and disappeared.
These days, he would be called by the eunuchs from the royal palace every morning, kneeling in the garden for an hour, and dancing with Lu Wang.
Then there will be nothing and be put back to work.
He knew that this was the little punishment of King Lu, but compared to those two, it was already very good, and Zhu Dadian was content.
"Ma Shiying, in order to support your king's rule, you can spare your family's death. You will decide."
"Thank you, the gangster, please leave your son with your life. He is just a playboy and knows nothing."
Zhu Changqing nodded and looked back at Li Bao. Li Bao understood and soon brought two glasses of hot wine and handed them to them.
Ma Shiying silently picked up a cup and drank it all without hesitation.
Chen Hongfan was shaking like a sieve and was reluctant to take the wine glass.
After drinking, Ma Shiying was carried away by the guard behind him.
Chen Hongfan crawled in front of Zhu Changqing with pleading eyes, hugging Zhu Changqing's calf and begging for mercy.
"I have given you the opportunity, don't say that I am ruthless, if you come, you will be dragged down, and Lingchi from Caishikou will be executed and Zhu Dadian will be sentenced."
"I'll drink, I'll drink, give it to me!"
Chen Hongfan was so scared that he seemed crazy. He wanted to steal the wine from Li Bao, but was held tightly by the guards and quickly dragged away.
When the garden calmed down, Zhu Changqing sat in the pavilion and drank hot tea soup.
Li Bao led a man over.
"Niu San, sit down."
"I don't dare!"
Niu San stood by the table, a little restrained.
"When you were in charge of the army in the city, you were honest and dedicated. The city gates you guarded were the ones that caused the most problems. Since your family was poor, why didn't you take some bribes like others?"
"I haven't read a book, but I know that being a human being is like farming. Grain is planted, not fallen from the sky."
"Everyone else asks for bribes, but you are not stained with the mud, are you not afraid of offending people?"
"Not afraid, I'm going to see my parents, brothers and sisters when I die."
Speaking of Taoist family, Niu San looked sad. Now he is the only one living alone in the family, which is so desolate that he has nowhere to talk about.
Zhu Changqing was also moved by Niu San's straightforward words, put down the teacup and stood up.
"I want to form a personal guards, you can command."
Niu Sanyi was shocked and almost thought that he had heard it wrong. Commander? What a great official, he couldn't read a lot of words and could never do it.
"Thank you, the young man, but the young man is just a farmer. It's already the best place to make a small flag. How can you do such a big thing?" Niu Sanxingli said carefully.
Li Bao, who was standing by, was really worried for Niu San, thinking that this man was really honest and honest. His Highness Lu Wang wanted someone like you. He did not have the messy thoughts of scholars, nor did he have any relatives to do with him.
It can be said that Niu San has no weaknesses, and being the leader of the personal guard is just right! As for what he is illiterate and has never read, it is all a small problem. At worst, he can only find someone to teach him.
"I said you can do it, you can do it, and you are not allowed to refuse!" Zhu Changqing smiled, but instead felt that this man was more and more reliable.
"Yes! The country is supervising! The young one won't let it go!" Niu San agreed with a gritty bullet, afraid that if he would continue to say anything, he would make King Lu unhappy.
"I will find you a gentleman. You can follow him to study hard, and wait until the personal guards are formed, and you will take office."
"Little one... obey the order."
"Li Bao, take him to find Zhang Yuxiu, just say that I will arrange for him a disciple."
"Sister obeys the order."
After arranging Niu San, the last thing left was Zheng Hongkui's deputy general. This man used his position to smuggle Ruan Dacheng and must be dealt with strictly.
It has been found that this person is from the Zheng family and is considered a branch of the Zheng family, so Zhu Changqing has never been in a hurry to deal with this person.
Because Lu Zhenfei also ordered warships in Fujian, he could not have had a stalemate with the relationship between this person and Fujian.
But now, the Jinghai Navy has formed an army in Fujian and is heading north along the coast and on its way back to Zhejiang.
Afterwards, Zhu Changqing personally wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Lu Zhenfei directly, and ordered him to immediately capture Deputy General Zheng Hongkui and rectify the Dharma on the spot.
At this point, something completely finished.
......
cabinet.
Gao Hongtu was busy examining the fish scale picture albums of the eastern Zhejiang prefectures, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot.
He, the Minister of Revenue, must have to worry about such a big thing as clearing the land of Zhangzhang. In his opinion, the resistance to this matter must be very huge. Although he was conservative in his heart, Lu Wang insisted on insisting, and he could only do his best to promote it.
Huang Daozhou was not in the class room. Today he went to Cining Palace to pay homage to Empress Dowager Zou, and was preparing to advise the Empress Dowager to persuade King Lu to advance.
In this matter, Huang Daozhou believed that he was just in time to repel the power of the Qing army and rule the world.
Jiang Yueguang could not stop Huang Daozhou, so he could only let him go. He could see the nature of Lu Wang clearly that he was not a monarch who would be influenced by his subjects. As a subject, he just needed to cooperate with him.
Gone are the days when the world is full of people and guides the country.
"Brother Yanwen, will we go to observe the punishment later?" Jiang Yueguang asked.
"You have to go. The supervisor specially asked Zhu Yanzhi to be sentenced. This is telling us that the new candidate for the Minister of War must be cautious." Gao Hongtu said without raising his head.
"Brother Yanwen, can anyone choose?"
"Who else can it be?"
Both of them actually guessed the person Lu Wang wanted.
"Let's go, the time is almost over. Let's go and accompany Zhu Yanzhi. I heard that he was scared by the regent recently. Don't be scared anymore." Jiang Yueguang said with a smile.
"This guy just can't control it!" Gao Hongtu gritted his teeth and said with regret.
