On the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Apocalypse, everyone celebrated the New Year with joy and welcomed the new atmosphere.
At this time, Nanjing was filled with the sound of horse hooves and armor clashing together.
"Open the door, open the door, or if you don't open the door, the door will be knocked down!"
At this time, Qian Qianyi was hiding behind the door and shivering. When he heard the servant report that the Jin Yiwei and the army were coming, he already knew that he was going to be doomed and that his incident had happened.
"Go away!"
Seeing that the door still didn't open, the Yulin army directly found a big piece of wood. The four people lifted it up and ran directly towards the door.
Qian Qianyi was heartbroken, but he was unwilling to give in. He was a noble gentleman from Donglin, and even had a high prestige among the Jiangnan gentry. How could he be so insulted by these eagle dogs?
He simply went to the back hall and prepared to hang himself from the beam. Just as he was preparing Bai Ling to stand on the chair, more than twenty Jinyi guards and sergeants rushed in from outside. The sergeants of the Yulin Army saw this and were about to stop him.
But a uniformed guard standing next to him stopped him.
"Anyway, if you take him back, you will die, so why not give him a favor and let him hang himself?"
And everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, and it would save them some effort, so they watched him commit suicide with great interest.
And how could Qian Qianyi dare to die? He was just acting. He had calculated the time and would hang himself when they came in. He thought that these people would definitely stop him, so that he would be fine for the time being.
When they tell His Majesty about this later, His Majesty will definitely be moved by his behavior and think that he is a loyal and righteous man who is not afraid of the axe. In this way, he can at least save his life.
It's a pity that God is not as good as God. Although Jin Yiwei's hands were stained with blood, they had never seen anyone commit suicide with their own eyes. The sergeants of the Yulin Army were even more curious.
After half a quarter of an hour, everyone saw that Qian Qianyi had been preparing for so long, why didn't he start?
"Hey, are you hanging on or not?"
A sergeant finally couldn't bear it any longer. You should hurry up and take your time.
Qian Qianyi said coyly:
"I was born to be afraid of heights!"
Is that all there is to it? If you stand a little higher, you won’t dare to die?
"Then you can use my knife to solve it yourself!"
The Jin Yiwei was very generous. He took out his sword and threw it on the ground. Qian Qianyi carefully picked up the sword. However, after a while, everyone saw that he had not made any move yet.
He asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong with you?"
"I am afraid of the pain of swords and sharp weapons!"
The fiery sergeant couldn't help it when he heard it. He was about to scold him when he was stopped again.
"Then take the poison. You won't be afraid after taking the medicine and drinking water, right?"
Qian Qianyi's expression changed slightly and he said again:
"I only drink hot water, not cold water!"
"Bang!"
The sergeant couldn't bear it any longer. Was he going to die or not? He kicked Qian Qianyi to the ground and cursed:
"You bitch, you don't dare to die, then why are you pretending to be here? I'll kick you to death!"
After saying that, he kicked Qian Qianyi a few more times, making Qian Qianyi cry for his father and mother.
"Forget it, forget it, we can't really kick him to death, take him away!"
After speaking, he also spat on Qian Qianyi.
"What a bitch!"
"Zhang Fengxiang, something happened to you. Should I, the commander, take action myself or should you be wiser?"
Zhang Fengxiang, who was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in Nanjing at the time, was Zhu Youxiao's key target. He also specifically told Tian Ergen in a handwritten edict that this person must be brought back to the capital for disposal. Seeing that the emperor valued it so much, Tian Ergen personally
Come to arrest him.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao wants to focus on taking care of him is because he is also a dog who does not want his ancestors and is willing to be a slave, even worse than Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi later in history at least made a lot of contributions to the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong almost regained Nandu because of Qian Qianyi's intelligence. If Zheng Chenggong hadn't hesitated and made mistakes in judgment, he really could have regained Nandu.
Worshiping Xiaoling.
And this Zhang Fengxiang was promoted to Shangshu during the Chongzhen period and was deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. However, he later surrendered to the Manchus.
Forgetting surrendering to the Manchus, he instead made plans to help the Manchus massacre their own compatriots and suppress rebels from all over the country. He also completely changed his person after surrendering to the Manchus.
I am no longer greedy for money and fame, and my abilities have improved a lot. I am willing to kneel at the feet of the barbarians without saying so.
"What happened to me? According to my opinion, it is you hawks and dogs who are about to be in trouble. I believe that the princes have already advised your majesty at this time. I will only be imprisoned for a few days at most!"
Zhu Youxiao's purge in Beijing had not spread to the south yet. This is why Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Shize and others to rush to Nanjing as quickly as possible without giving them time to react.
"While you are still here daydreaming about the blue sky, Your Majesty has ordered that your home be ransacked immediately. Not a single dog can escape. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"
Dozens of guards and sergeants behind Tian Ergen immediately took action. Zhang Fengxiang's house was in a state of panic. He said angrily:
"How dare you, Eagle Dog! Your death is not far away!"
On that day, Nanjing had a panic-stricken New Year. Wei Guogong also mobilized 3,000 troops from the Beijing camp to maintain stability everywhere, and sent servants to announce everywhere, so that Nanjing could be settled.
Nearly 20 left-behind officials in Nanjing, including Zhang Fengxiang, Wang Jialu, Shen You, and Li Rixuan, were sent to Nanzhen Fusi Prison and their homes were ransacked. More than 70 gentry including Qian Qianyi were also sent to prison and their homes were ransacked.
The Xiaoling Guards and Yulin Army led by Li Zhicai were stationed in Nanjing in accordance with His Majesty's decree, and together with Tian Ergeng, they helped Zhu Youxiao take care of the entire Yingtian Mansion.
The two capitals of the Ming Dynasty were both under the control of Zhu Youxiao.
…
Zhu Youxiao was carried back. Is the wine in Ming Dynasty so powerful? Although he is still conscious now, his body is a little out of his control.
"Your Majesty, take a sip of the hangover soup!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at the cute and beautiful woman in front of him, with a voice like a silver bell, and felt his adrenaline rising sharply.
This was actually arranged by Mrs. Liu deliberately. Based on the emperor's various behaviors since he ascended the throne, she was really a little worried.
She heard that most of the Qianqing Palace was staffed by eunuchs, and there were only a few experienced old palace maids. How could the emperor not be so lecherous?
She was afraid that Emperor Xiaozong would come again, so she had this opportunity today, so she decided to test whether the emperor was a womanizer or not.
Unfortunately, Zhu Youxiao is really not Liu Xiahui.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao had been worried about his personal expedition, so he simply let nature take its course. Whatever happened, he would give himself a son first. Anyway, if something unexpected happened to him, he wouldn't be advantageous to others.
Soon, only Zhu Youxiao and Qin'er were left in the Qianqing Palace, and Wang Chaofu personally guarded the gate with a smile on his face!
