Chapter 420 Lets die together for the sake of the emperor!
In the Jiangnan Governor's Office in Jiangning City, Jiangnan Governor Zu Zepu and Jiangnan Admiral Zu Yonglie, as well as several other ancestral families of the "Li" and "Liang" generations, are now gathered in three halls.
, everyone stared with big eyes and small eyes, all with helpless expressions on their faces.
Although these ancestral family members are related to Wu Sangui, they are different from Zu Zeqing. They are not Wu Sangui's "little fans". They don't want to follow Wu Sangui to rebel against the Qing Dynasty... They just want to live in peace and stability.
day.
But the problem is that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop!
Someone forced their family to rebel!
What is even more worrying is that none of them dared to expose the person who forced them to rebel to the court, because that person was none other than Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the ancestor of Mayan in the Qing Dynasty.
How to expose this? Can they still expose Xuan Ye's rebellion to Kangxi's secret report? It's useless to go up to the secret report!
So now these family members who are forced to board the pirate ship really have no choice... Either the whole family hangs themselves together and ends up "resisting the order and becoming a loyal minister". Or they all follow the order together.
Rebellion and join Wu Sangui!
But the problem is...Wu Sangui, an old fox, still hasn't said he's willing to accept them!
Wu Sangui was related to his ancestors' family, but being related meant that Wu Sangui would unconditionally accept the "Shangdang" given to him by his ancestors' family? Did Kangxi and Zhou Peigong think that Wu Sangui had not read Warring States Policy?
Wu Sangui was familiar with "Warring States Policy" and knew what these two bastards Kangxi and Zhou Peigong were planning!
What if they rebelled in Jiangnan and defected to Wu, but Wu Sangui refused to accept them, and Zhu Heji became anxious and wanted to kill them?
"How about we join the Ming Dynasty!"
The person speaking was Zu Kefa’s son Zu Yonglie. He really looked unjust. He used to be the commander-in-chief of the Han army in Beijing, how happy would he be just hanging around and waiting to die? Now he suddenly became a polished admiral of the south of the Yangtze River...
... He is said to be an admiral, but he only has dozens of geshhars under his command, and even the promotion bid is not his.
According to the edict of Emperor Kangxi, the governor, admiral, and governor of Jiangnan were all controlled by Sun Sike, the minister in charge of the Jiangnan camp.
"Vote to the Ming Dynasty?" Zu Zepu glanced at Zu Yonglie, "What to vote for? Do you, the Jiangnan admiral, have soldiers in your hands to supervise? Our lives are all in the hands of Sun! We want to
If you dare to vote for the Ming Dynasty, your head will be moved immediately!"
"Exactly!" One of Zu Yonglie's cousins, Zu Chenglie, who was also born with the word "lie", nodded and said, "As the prefect of Jiangning, I don't even have a strong people, but they are all in the hands of Hong Shiming!"
Zu Zepu sighed: "Not only can we not bring Jinling City to join the Ming Dynasty, we can't even escape by ourselves..."
"Then what should we do? Is it possible that we have to hold on and die?"
"How come there is no way to survive if you are doing well?"
"Death is certain..."
Just when a group of family members were lamenting the unfair fate, they heard Geshiha standing guard outside the door shouting: "Hong Futai is here!"
The room suddenly became quiet, and then he saw Hong Shiming coming in. Hong Shiming had been in the doldrums for most of his life, and now he finally reached the position of governor of Jiangnan. Of course, he had to hurry up to do things for the court and make money for himself...that person in later generations.
If he knew about "996", he would have to scold him as a slacker. Now he wishes he could have eighteen hours a day to be the governor!
So after working hard during this period of time, I feel a little exhausted, but my energy level is excellent.
Seeing Hong Shiming coming in, Zu Zepu quickly lowered his head to drink tea. Several family members also shrank there and sat on chairs to pretend to be invisible.
Hong Shiming glanced at him and raised his hand to his ancestor Ze Pu: "Zhi Zhijun, the emperor has spoken and asked you when you plan to rebel?"
Zu Zepu raised his head and spread his hands: "It can't be done...Wu Sangui just ignored me!"
Hong Shiming stamped his feet: "If he ignores you, won't you fight back on your own?"
"Rebel yourself?" Zu Zepu asked, "Should I also become the president?"
"What kind of president do you want to be? You don't call yourself the Jiangnan Governor of the Great Zhou Kingdom? Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places are still waiting for our edicts!"
Zu Zepu was stunned, "Edict? What edict?"
Hong Shiming said: "Of course it was the two of us who led Suzhou, Songjiang, Taicang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Jiangningfu, Taiping, Ningguo, Chizhou, Guangde and other nine prefectures and one prefecture to rebel and betray the Qing's decree to surrender to Zhou...
.... I have to ask my subordinates to quickly change the banner and official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty to those of the Zhou Dynasty. I can no longer keep my braids, and I have to start growing my hair again."
"This is not okay!" Zu Zepu shook his head repeatedly, "My ancestor has been favored by the emperor in his life, how could he do such a thing of treason and surrender to the enemy?"
Hong Shiming had known that Zu Zepu would refuse to rebel despite all obstacles... Being favored by the emperor in this life is all an excuse, fear of death is the real thing!
If you want this kind of thing to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers will have to put a knife on his neck!
Thinking of this, he straightened his face and shouted: "Please give me an order!"
Then he saw Emperor Kangxi’s confidant, Young Guizi Eunuch, coming in with a yellow box in his hands. Young Guizi Eunuch said with a cold face: "This is the edict written by the Emperor himself... You must obey it immediately.
!The Emperor is watching from the Purple Mountain. If you haven’t done anything by night, then I will have to punish one of you for disobeying the decree!"
The few people sitting there were all shocked. They did not know that Emperor Kangxi had come to Jiangning Mansion, and they did not expect that Emperor Kangxi would be so disrespectful of "imperial virtues" that he would personally come to supervise the rebellion of his officials.
Zu Zepu had no choice but to stand up and bow, then he respectfully took the box, opened it and took out the secret fold inside to read.
He knew the contents of the secret book without reading it, which was to imitate Feng Ting, who dedicated himself to the party, to immediately raise the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Jiangnan, and call himself the Governor of Jiangnan, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zu Zepu let out a long sigh and said to Xiao Guizi's father-in-law: "Eunuch Gui... The emperor said that he should give up the flag of Zhou Dynasty, but where can the subordinate go to find the flag of Zhou Dynasty in such a hurry?"
"You don't need to look for it," Eunuch Gui said with a smile, "Jiangning Weaving Yamen has already prepared it for you...the flag, official uniform, and seal have all been prepared for you. All you need to do is make a ready-made counterattack."
Got it!"
Zuze Puxin said: "The emperor is my accomplice in the rebellion!"
"But," Zu Zepu still shook his head, "but a lower-ranking official will not rebel!" He looked at Hong Shiming and said, "Hong Futai, you are very knowledgeable. You must have learned how to rebel, right?"
Hong Shiming smiled and said: "Zuzhijun, don't push it away, you can't push it away! The emperor doesn't care whether you know it or not! If you haven't resisted by nightfall, the emperor will ask Sun Sike to lead troops to quell the chaos.
...Kill the whole family!”
Is this justified?
It was clear that he would not rebel, but Kangxi would send troops to quell the rebellion and kill the whole family. If he rebelled, Kangxi would leave with satisfaction...
"Then, we have no choice but to rebel!" Zu Zepu stamped his feet, "Hong Futai, don't hide from this matter. You tell me how to rebel!"
"Okay!" Hong Shiming was also a responsible person. He nodded and said, "First of all, of course, we must break the news to the emperor and tell him that we have rebelled!"
"But this fold...how to write it?"
Zu Zepu estimated that his master would not be able to write this kind of excerpt.
"I'll write it!" Hong Shiming patted his chest.
Then he added: "Then Wu Sangui went to Zhezi and told him that we had captured the Jiufu and one state in the south of the Yangtze River for him. Let him quickly send troops to take over!
The next step is to send an edict to the nine prefectures and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, telling the officials of these nine prefectures and prefectures that we have accepted Wu Sangui's appointment and become the governor, governor, and admiral of Jiangnan in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and require the following prefectures and counties to follow.
!
Finally, I would like all of you here to change into the official uniforms of the Zhou Dynasty with me, and take the officers and soldiers who have also changed into the Zhou Dynasty costumes, and go to the streets to patrol the city together... This must make the people in Jiangning Fucheng
You know we have turned against you!"
Zu Zepu looked sad, and finally asked: "Hong Futai, do you think we are now a real rebellion or a fake rebellion?"
