Everything has been arranged, and now the show is about to begin!
On June 21, Zhu Yousong finally issued an "imperial edict" to "summon" Ding Yunyi.
From early in the morning, the atmosphere in Nanjing has been a little different.
"King Wu Lie, the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, the Crown Prince and Grand Master, the General of Dragon and Tiger, Ding Yunyi of the Youzhu Kingdom has arrived!"
As this long string of names was read out, all the ministers' eyes fell outside the palace.
King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi has arrived!
In order to show his "favor" to King Wu Lie, Zhu Yousong specifically allowed him to go to the temple wearing a sword and avoid kneeling in front of the saint.
Ding Yunyi walked in step by step!
The air in the court suddenly became solemn. Most of them saw Ding Yunyi for the first time, and they never thought that the world-famous King Wu Lie was so young.
"King Wu Lie has met King Fu." Ding Yunyi came to the palace and said calmly.
He said "King Fu" instead of "Your Majesty", which immediately shocked the pro-Fu faction headed by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, but made the pro-Lu faction headed by Shi Kefa and the pro-Gui faction headed by Lu Daqi look happy.
"I'm afraid I called him wrong King Wu Lie." Ma Shiying coughed twice: "This is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Ah, Your Majesty? Why didn't I know?" Ding Yunyi looked "surprised": "Holy Lord Long Yu, has the new king already been established?"
Ma Shiying's face showed displeasure: "Did King Wu Lie come to entertain us? Being so rude to the Holy One is a capital crime!"
As soon as King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, which no one had expected before. Looking at Zhu Yousong's face, it became obvious that he looked ugly.
Although he had already compromised on this issue and had agreed to support Zhu Yousong as emperor against his will, and even Zhu Yousong had ascended the throne and "proclaimed himself emperor", Ding Yunyi's sudden attack gave Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi and others hope of a big comeback!
Shi Kefa knew it was time to find out, so he immediately stood up and said, "Isn't King Wu Lie having some ulterior motives?"
"Master Shi, what do you mean?" Seeing Shi Kefa coming out, Ma Shiying felt a little worried.
Shi Kefa glanced at Ding Yunyi and saw a smile on King Wu Lie's face. He seemed to be encouraging him, and his courage suddenly became much bolder. He said in a loud voice: "When King Fu ascended the throne, it was because you people with military power suddenly launched an attack.
His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, has a good character and a kind personality. He is the right choice for the emperor!"
"Master Shi, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ma Shiying's face darkened: "Your Majesty has already ascended the throne, what's the difference between saying this and treason?"
"I don't want to rebel, and I won't rebel!" Shi Kefa said loudly with Ding Yunyi's support: "Justice is in the hearts of the people. Why would Ma Dushuai label him as a rebel whenever he doesn't understand?"
"It's not appropriate for Prince Fu to ascend the throne!" At this time, someone else said. Everyone looked over and saw that the person speaking was Lu Daqi.
Shi Kefa was overjoyed and thought that Lu Daqi also supported him. However, Lu Daqi said: "But King Lu is not the most suitable candidate. Only King Gui can inherit the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present knew that the Yongfu Faction, Yonglu Faction, and Yonggui Faction were going to fight again!
The most useless person is Zhu Yousong. He tried his best to get this position. Today was supposed to be a happy day, but who would have thought that he would end up like this.
It suddenly occurred to me that everything was already in peace, but as soon as Ding Yunyi, the King of Martial Arts, appeared, the situation suddenly became chaotic. When he looked at Ding Yunyi, he felt a little more resentful.
Ding Yunyi lowered his hands and raised his eyes to the sky, as if he didn't see anything at all.
Ma Shiying looked at Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing. Gao Jie suddenly understood and stood up and said sternly: "Shi Kefa, what do you mean? Why are you objecting to something that everyone agreed before? Are you instigated by someone?
?"
When he said this, he kept looking at Ding Yunyi. The meaning was very obvious.
Although Ding Yunyi is famous all over the world, he is the only one here at this time. Even if a conflict breaks out, can he still deal with Nanjing's tens of thousands of troops by himself?
Thinking about this, Gao Jie became bolder and no longer feared Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi remained silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Liu Liangzuo also said at this time: "Shi Kefa. You want to disrupt the government, but you have a vicious intention. If you continue to nag, don't blame me, Liu Liangzuo, for being ruthless."
"Does Mr. Liu want to threaten me with a sword?" Although he tolerated the issue of support, Shi Kefa was actually extremely stubborn: "Here I am waiting for these officials from the Ming Dynasty to discuss matters. Mr. Liu yelled for a beating.
What does he mean by shouting to kill? Although Shi Kefa has no power to restrain a chicken, he is still not afraid of threats. Mr. Liu can give it a try!"
Liu Liangzuo was originally a bandit, and he became furious when he heard this. But he could not openly kill Shi Kefa in front of these ministers, not to mention that Shi Kefa still had a great reputation in the Jiangnan area. He was also the Minister of the Ministry of War, Dongge
The great bachelor didn't know how to deal with him for a while.
But Gao Jie couldn't control that much: "Shi Kefa, you are a complete bastard. Do you want to overthrow the world? Ask the tens of thousands of elites under my command if they will agree!"
"Why does Gao Zongzhen use tens of thousands of elites to scare people?" Ding Yunyi, who had been silent since provoking the trouble, finally spoke: "There are tens of thousands of elites in Gao Zongzhen, doesn't it mean that our Tiger Guards don't have tens of thousands of elites? I, Huben,
Where were the tens of thousands of elites in Gao Zong Town when the Ming Dynasty was restored through blood in the bathroom? Where were the tens of thousands of elites in Gao Zong Town when our Huben Guards fought a bloody battle at Shanhaiguan?"
Gao Jie was suddenly shocked.
It would be inappropriate to threaten him with force. Who is standing in front of him? It's King Wu Lie! He's the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he's the leader of the Huben Guard Group! It's Ding Huben who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers! If it's true
No one knows what the consequences will be if you fall out with him.
Seeing that King Wu Lie openly supported him, Shi Kefa became bolder. The bad temper he had been feeling for so long was temporarily gone.
In fact, Shi Kefa was quite a talented person, and the court really wanted to reuse him. When King Fu first came to supervise the country in Nanjing, Shi Kefa was indeed appointed as the chief assistant, but because Ma Shiying felt that he had made meritorious service, he was not named the chief assistant.
As a result, he instigated a mutiny in the army near Nanjing and forced King Fu to change himself to the title of First Assistant when he came to the throne as a vassal. Shi Kefa only ended up as a bachelor of Dongge. Another reason why King Fu did not reuse Shi Kefa was because his father was old.
Prince Fu was the son of Wanli, and Wanli favored Concubine Zheng at that time. He wanted to change the old Prince Fu to the crown prince, but the Donglin Party members tried their best to obstruct the matter and failed. The Donglin Party members considered Shi Kefa to have the highest status, and Prince Fu would naturally not forget this reason.
, and therefore deliberately alienated him. Various reasons led to Shi Kefa's failure.
Shi Kefa was later squeezed out by Ma Shiying and others. After losing power, he asked himself to be the governor of Jiangbei. He went to Yangzhou to coordinate the military affairs of the four towns in Jiangbei such as Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong. However, the four towns became domineering because of their decision-making, and each of them had its own stronghold.
, Shi Kefa and the imperial court were unable to control it. The four towns could not be defeated, and they each had their own affairs.
At this time, he let out a bad breath and immediately said: "As a holy person, upright moral character should be your first priority..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yousong couldn't bear it anymore: "What Shi Gebu means is that my moral character is not upright?"
Shi Kefa was shocked to realize that he had let slip: "Your Majesty..." The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back. It would be inappropriate to call Zhu Yousong "Your Majesty". It would also be inappropriate to call him "Fu Wang". 1
He didn't even know what to call him for a while. He mumbled the word and then said:
"I didn't mean that..."
Zhu Yousong was even more displeased when he heard him call him "I" instead of "Chen". He had worked hard to get the position of emperor. He originally thought that now that he had taken the position of emperor, the bandits would be eliminated and the Qing Dynasty would be wiped out.
After being eliminated, as long as Ding Yunyi is recruited, he can return to the capital in glory within a few days.
Who would have thought that Ding Yunyi would cause such a thing as soon as he arrived.
Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Gao Jie and others are also idiots. After Ding Yunyi came to Nanjing, what he reported to himself every day was that Ding Yunyi had no problem and would definitely be loyal to him.
But what about now? What has it become now?
How can this be the case? How can there be no such reason!
As Shi Kefa took the lead in attacking, chaos broke out in the court. The pro-Fu faction, the pro-Lu faction, and the pro-Gui faction argued endlessly, and everyone was red-faced and thick-necked.
If this was not a court, a fight would have been possible...
And Ding Yunyi, who provoked this incident, just watched it all with a cold eye. When the capital was destroyed and the Ming Dynasty was in danger, why didn't these people get so excited?
This is not only for the emperor's position, but also for their future future.
The show is going on quietly...
Everyone participated in the debate, and everyone kept shouting. It seemed that whoever had the loudest voice would get the upper hand.
Seeing that the commotion was unseemly, Zhu Yousong scolded him several times, but no one could hear him. The authority of the so-called emperor disappeared in front of these ministers.
It took a full hour, maybe because everyone was a little tired, and then it became quiet a little. At this time, some people began to realize that something was wrong.
Where is King Wulie? Why has King Wulie not spoken until now?
More and more people think about this issue, and more and more people turn their attention to Ding Yunyi...
"King Wu Lie, tell me openly and honestly who you support!" Gao Jie gasped.
Ding Yunyi knew it was time for him to take the stage. He calmly said only one sentence: "Where is the late Emperor?"
Where is the late emperor? What do you mean? All the ministers looked at each other.
"None of them are loyal to the emperor and patriotic!" Ding Yunyi suddenly sighed: "The late emperor passed away, but the heirs are still there. Why are you waiting for blessings, support for Lu, and support for laurels? Isn't it possible that no one thinks of the late emperor?"
For a moment, there was silence in the hall...
According to orthodoxy, Chongzhen's son is the most qualified to sit in this position...
Shi Kefa also felt a little embarrassed. Yes, everyone was arguing about who should be the emperor, but everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of Emperor Chongzhen and the prince...
"King Wu Lie, it seems that everyone has this last resort..." Shi Kefa said slowly: "After the capital was destroyed, the late emperor died for his country, and I heard that several princes also disappeared, so we can only stay in Nanjing.
..."
"If the prince is missing, then you should search for it with all your heart." Ding Yunyi said calmly: "You don't want to be loyal to the country, but you are here talking endlessly about who should be supported. I, Huben Weiyu, fight with blood to restore the Ming Dynasty. And you
What? But they only do it for their own selfish reasons. Does the person above really deserve to sit in that position?"
He pointed his hand directly at Zhu Yousong, who was sitting stunned.
"Ding Yunyi, you are so courageous!" Gao Jie couldn't bear it any longer: "You have committed the following crime, do you think we are really afraid of you?"
Ding Yunyi's cold eyes fell on him, making Gao Jie shiver involuntarily...
Ruan Dacheng had never spoken before. When Ding Yunyi first came to Nanjing, he still had a "friendship" with King Wu Lie, and he was worried about Ding Yunyi's powerful force, so he kept pretending to be dumb.
However, the question of who to support is related to his own future plans. At this time, Ruan Dacheng had to speak: "King Wu Lie. Actually speaking of the question of who to support..."
"What qualifications do you have to speak?" Who would have thought that Ding Yunyi interrupted him rudely: "Ruan Dacheng, you first relied on the Donglin Party, and then on the Wei Zhongxian Party. You are just a capricious villain! But through
This is the only opportunity to be able to stand in the court with the ministers!"
Ruan Dacheng was stunned. He never expected that Ding Yunyi would not have any old feelings and scolded him so angrily that he blushed for a while and could not say a word.
Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi and others were immediately proud. They had long disliked Ruan Dacheng, a traitor to the Donglin Party, but now they didn't want to, but King Wu Lie helped them to do so.
However, something even more unexpected happened. Ding Yunyi quickly targeted them:
"Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi, you guys are the same way. You don't think about how to revitalize our Ming Dynasty all day long, but you think about intrigues and intrigues. How shameless are you!"
How could anyone have imagined that Ding Yunyi would scold most of the people present? How could this be King Wu Lie, who only knew nothing but obedience and loyalty when he entered Nanjing City?
But this is just the beginning.
Ding Yunyi sneered and said: "You Donglin Party members complain about not being reused and blame everyone all day long, but what about the things you do? Zhu Yousong has ascended the throne. Whether he is the emperor or the leader, there must be a group of available people under his command.
, some people cheered, Zhu Yousong had no choice, he could only rely on the four towns and Ma Shiying for civil and military affairs. You Donglin Party members will complain in the future, complaining that Zhu Yousong cannot trust Donglin Minister. Yes. Some of you Donglin Ministers are Ma Shiying, at least.
You are much better than Ma Shiying in terms of personality, but if you are not reused, you will ultimately end up in a cocoon!"
The Donglin Party members were scolded by Ding Yunyi one by one until they were speechless, and no one was speechless.
These words, Ding Yunyi actually said is not wrong. The Donglin Party members are indeed not people who do big things, and they regard the interests of their own small group above all else!
After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he had to reward his merits and thank the civil and military ministers who supported his succession. As the emperor and his ministers, Zhu Yousong also had to form his own team.
The first thing to bear the brunt of this is the formation of a cabinet.
The difference between the central authority of the Ming Dynasty and the previous dynasties was the addition of the cabinet. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the powerful prime ministers and treacherous prime ministers in the previous dynasty were emerging one after another. In order to prevent the prime minister's power from endangering the imperial power in this dynasty, he abolished the position of prime minister, and the six ministries and nine ministers directly
Responsible to the emperor. However, the emperor's energy was limited after all, and it was obvious that he could not take care of the affairs of the empire. Therefore, a cabinet was established to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. The cabinet at that time was completely different from the cabinet today. In essence, it was a secretariat.
, members are appointed by the emperor or recommended by the court ministers. Generally speaking, the six ministers and ministers have a greater chance of joining the cabinet. Cabinet members are called bachelors, and their main right is to have the right to "vote". What is "vote"?
In ancient times, ministers reported political affairs or requested matters to the emperor and had to write a memorial. The memorial was first read by the cabinet ministers, who wrote an abbreviation, which is the "central idea". Then the ministers wrote opinions on how to deal with the memorial and reported it to the emperor for his decision.
A group of people "agreed". Therefore, the power of "voting" is not trivial, especially when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely lazy, as if he was "acting on behalf of heaven".
Among the cabinet members, the chief scholar has the most respected status, also known as the "chief assistant". According to the Ming Dynasty system, the Minister of War was ranked first among the hundred officials in Nanjing. Zhu Yousong succeeded Nanjing, so it was logical that the Minister of War became the first assistant scholar.
, Shi Kefa did indeed serve as the first assistant bachelor. However, at this time, a subtle but far-reaching personnel transfer occurred: Ma Shiying entered the cabinet to work, and Shi Kefa supervised Jiangbei. Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet was a matter of course, regardless of Zhu Yousong
Whether it is to reward Ma Shiying for his support, or to form a team that he can trust, Ma Shiying must join the cabinet.
However, in order to strengthen the defense of Jiangbei, the cabinet of bachelors must have a "supervisor on behalf of the emperor". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to deal with the tense and complex military situation, bachelors such as Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were often sent to supervise as bachelors.
It is said that Ma Shiying is the most suitable candidate for Nanming to send a bachelor to supervise the division at this time. Firstly, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others who are stationed in Jiangbei are his deployment. They are under his control; secondly, the first assistant bachelor cannot leave lightly.
, except for Shi Kefa, only Ma Shiying is the most suitable. None of the other cabinet members have ever led troops and have no knowledge of military affairs.
However, in the end, it was Shi Kefa who was the supervisor of Jiangbei. Although Shi Kefa's title at this time was still higher than Ma Shiying's, the difference between the supervisor outside and the assistant manager inside was huge! Sending Supervisor Shi Kefa outside was obviously to keep him away.
Shi Kefa had no choice but to rush to Jiangbei and take office.
Previously, Shi Kefa had written a letter to Ma Shiying regarding the "seven incompetencies" of King Fu: greed, sexual immorality, alcoholism, unfilial piety, failure to study, abuse, and interference.
Few people know whether Zhu Yousong saw this letter from Shi Kefa. A reasonable guess is that Ma Shiying did not let Zhu Yousong see the letter, but used it as a tool to blackmail Shi Kefa - whatever I, Ma Shiying, proposed
He advocated that you, Shi Kefa, should all support it unconditionally, otherwise, this treasonous letter would be handed over to the emperor. This speculation has its own reasonable elements, but it may not be the case. Based on Ma Shiying's character and eagerness to take credit, it is very likely that this letter will be handed over to the emperor.
The letter had been handed over to Zhu Yousong. Although Zhu Yousong was resentful, Shi Kefa was the leader of the officials who stayed in the capital after all. For the sake of the overall situation, he had to endure it. But he couldn't stay in front of him and sent Jiangbei to "redeem himself through service." From now on
Judging from the fact that Shi Kefa embarked on the road to Jiangbei without any complaints, the latter is very likely, and it is very likely that Zhu Yousong had a frank "heart-to-heart" with Shi Kefa.
Obviously, Shi Kefa compromised.
Hence the current chaos.
Ding Yunyi showed no mercy to anyone. And these are not the most shocking things. The most shocking thing is that Ding Yunyi finally began to target his last target:
Zhu Yousong!
"Zhu Yousong!" Ding Yunyi said his name bluntly without giving anyone any face: "In your eyes, what an emperor should do is drink wine and play with women. But you drink fire wine and play with young girls!
When you first came to the throne, you issued a decree to empty the harem and fill it with ladies from the world. Upon hearing the news, the eunuchs and officials, large and small, searched house by house. When they encountered someone with a slightly outstanding appearance, they tore off a strip of yellow paper and pasted it on their face.
, the so-called yellow label, means that the famous flower already has an owner and cannot remarry. After a search, you are not satisfied with the beauties you collected, and issued an order to severely punish the officials and eunuchs.
The official eunuch thought of the proverb that there were many beauties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so he went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to collect them. This widespread selection of beauties made people in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing resentful, and families with girls were even more upset. Families with girls couldn't bear it.
The child fell into the fire pit of the palace, and the girl was hurriedly married off before the beauty pageant officials arrived. Unable to find a suitable one for a while, he waited on the road. When he saw a man of suitable age passing by, he went up to say a few words, and found out that he was not married yet, so he
He snatched him into his home to marry his daughter. Later, when time was running out, he even snatched a half-centenarian man into his home to marry him! Is there anyone in the world who is more ridiculous than you?"
"You, you, you-" Zhu Yousong was so angry that she was speechless.
However, all the officials were silent. What Ding Yunyi, the king of martial arts, accused was not wrong at all.
In troubled times, girls suffer; in troubled times, girls with outstanding looks suffer even more!
Whether he can search for beauties is one thing, but whether he can tolerate these beauties for a long time is another matter. In order to make the "Golden Gun" forever invincible, Zhu Yousong humbly accepted advice, in addition to donkey whip tonics
, and adopted a toad folk remedy, that is, taking toads. Toads seemed to have really powerful powers, so a team to search for toads for the emperor came into being. Toads like the shade and are mostly active at night, and the city gates are not open at night.
So, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of people looking for toads, the eunuch in charge made hundreds of lanterns. On the lanterns were clearly written four words: "Catch toads by order". When the gatekeepers saw the lanterns arriving, they opened the city gate. This is
He searched for toads with great fanfare, and finally everyone in the city knew about it. The government and the public hated him, and gave Zhu Yousong the nickname "Emperor of Toads"!
In fact, Hongzhu Yousong should feel lucky - not many people know that he takes donkey whip, otherwise, the reputation of the "Donkey Whip Emperor" would be much louder than the reputation of the "Toad Emperor"!
Seeing the silence in the court hall, Ding Yunyi knew that his goal had been achieved.
If these people work together to deal with it, then they may not be able to get a good deal. But the people standing here at this time all have their own thoughts and are happy to see their enemies make a fool of themselves.
Almost everyone here is disloyal!
On the issue of who should be appointed as the emperor, there have even been "Great Tragedy Cases", "Fake Prince Cases" and "Tong Fei Cases".
After Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne, a monk named Dabei came to Nanjing. When he met everyone, monk Dabei would say that he was the "Concubine of Qi Fan". He was a descendant of King Qi's concubine. Emperor Chongzhen once named him "King of Qi" when he was in power. He did not accept it; now that King Lu is virtuous and respected by everyone, he should be made emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants have developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty. There are many vassals, and it is normal for the descendants of each vassal to not know each other. Since this person claims to be from the lineage of King Qi, He also spoke wildly, so he naturally needed to be screened, so he sent officials to inquire. After questioning, the Dabei monk's answers were wrong. He opened and closed his mouth and only said, "King Lu is wise and should be the emperor, and Hongguang should give up the throne." Later, he was tortured and interrogated. .Finally found out that this Dabei was originally a Suzhou monk. So he was beheaded.
This is the "Great Tragedy Case".
After Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne, Mu Hu, the servant of Gao Mengji, the minister of Lu Temple, fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. On the way, he met a young man. When he was sleeping, he found that the young man was wearing a gorgeous underwear with a dragon pattern embroidered on it. Mu Hu felt that I was very surprised and asked the young man his identity.
The young man said, I am the Crown Prince, and I am living here. So the news of the Crown Prince arriving in the south of the Yangtze River spread everywhere, and Zhu Yousong did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly sent eunuchs and ministers who had "worked" in Beijing to identify him.
Wang Duo, then a university scholar who had served as the crown prince's official lecturer for three years, found out that this person was obviously a fake!
This is the "False Prince Case".
It was still after Zhu Yousong ascended the throne. A girl named Yue Qijie came to the Yamen of Huai'an Governor Yue Qijie, claiming to be Zhu Yousong's successor concubine and fled here. After some questioning, Yue Qijie and Guangchang Bo Liu Liangzuo were convinced and sent someone to escort her. She went to Nanjing and first sent a message to Zhu Yousong to report the matter. She didn't want to slap her hand on the horse's hoof. After hearing the news, Zhu Yousong was furious and said, my concubine Huang died long ago, and my step-concubine Li is in Luoyang. They died for their country when the city fell. Both of these two people were posthumously honored by the court. You should know that apart from these two people, where are the other concubines?!
After the child concubine arrived in Nanjing, Zhu Yousong didn't even look at it and ordered her to be imprisoned. The child concubine said to Feng Kezong, the royal guard, "I met her in Weishi County. She kowtowed in the store and helped her up. He carried it in his arms. He said, "I have no one to accompany me. I don't know where Concubine Li is. You are good-looking, so I am here to do this." After staying there for more than forty days, I heard that the bandits were approaching, so he took me south to Xuzhou. When he met the concubine, he was filled with sorrow and joy. When the state official heard about it, he gave her residence and supplies. She lived in the eighth month and raised a son. He died in the first month of the month. At that time, he already had his wife accompanying him. When the thief Li broke through the capital, the place was difficult to accommodate, and he went to the capital again. We were walking and dispersed when we encountered bandits on the way."
Feng Kezong wrote down the child concubine's words in detail in the memorial. When Zhu Yousong saw it, his face immediately turned red. He threw the memorial to the ground and said angrily, "I don't recognize the temptress. I'll interrogate her immediately!" Soon, the child concubine was revealed. Died in prison.
In fact, these three cases are not that complicated. They cannot be called difficult cases at all. Each case has witnesses and physical evidence, so it is not that difficult to deduce the truth. Putting aside the appearance and looking at the essence, these three cases have one purpose. Stinky Zhu Yousong! The tragedy happened to tell the world that King Fu was not as virtuous as King Lu and should give way to King Lu; the case of the child concubine wanted to tell the world that King Fu was ungrateful and promiscuous; the case of the fake prince wanted to tell the world that Prince Fu's accession to the throne was unfair, and there was still a prince in the world during the Ming Dynasty.
What is the conclusion? It is that someone directed these three farces to disrupt the situation of the government, and then fished in troubled waters to seek their own benefits!
Who is most likely to be behind the scenes? At that time, the main dispute in the court was between Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party members. Ma Shiying and his party would never direct such a farce, because Zhu Yousong was established by him, and he and he were already on the same rope.
Grasshoppers, both prosper and lose. So it can only be the Donglin Party!
At this time, the Donglin Party members had long lost the ambition and character of their predecessors, and they only had the reputation of being a Donglin Party member.
It's just that the farce was so poorly directed. Looking at the "False Prince Case" alone, I never thought that Wang Duo, then a scholar, had taught the prince for three years. How could he not know the real prince? Maybe they just wanted to muddy the water.
That's enough!
The scary part of the problem is that through these three cases, it is not difficult to find that the Hongguang court has lost its credibility and the prestige that a court should have. No matter what the court publishes, no one believes it. Even if it is true,
No one wants to believe it! At the beginning of Shang Yang's reform, he erected a wooden pole outside the city gate and ordered the people to say, whoever carries this pole to the designated position will be rewarded with fifty gold. Fifty gold was not a small amount at that time. It was not a small amount for carrying one.
It can be earned with just a wooden pole, so for a while the common people looked at each other, but no one carried it. Later, a man tried to carry it. As expected, he got fifty gold, so the common people in the country thought that the official order
Everything must be done! Why did Shang Yang do this? It was just to win the trust of the people! No matter which dynasty or generation, when it loses its trust to the people, it will be the beginning of its demise!
Ding Yunyi can see this very clearly.
But Zhu Yousong couldn’t see it at all!
Even if he was afraid of the majesty of King Wu Lie, no matter how afraid he was of King Wu Lie, Zhu Yousong could no longer bear it at this time. He couldn't help shouting: "Ding Yunyi, do you really want to rebel?"
This sentence again! Ding Yunyi smiled contemptuously.
Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and Gao Jie finally woke up from the shock. Gao Jie is a reckless person and can no longer care about anything: "Ding Yunyi, you have so slandered the current emperor, do you still want to leave here alive?"
Ding Yunyi ignored him at all, but looked at the ministers and said word by word: "The person who can truly inherit the throne is the prince of the late emperor. And the fifth prince Zhu Cihuan has already ascended the throne in Beijing and proclaimed himself emperor!"
This sentence hit everyone's head like a thunderbolt!
Zhu Yousong was so shocked that he almost fell off the throne...
Before Emperor Chongzhen's son was found, he was indeed the first choice to succeed the throne, but now has Chongzhen's son really been found?
Everyone thought they heard wrongly.
After all, Gao Jie was born a bandit, so he was more courageous: "Did you just say that he was the late emperor's prince? Who knows where you found a fake like the one in the 'False Prince Case'!"
This sentence immediately woke up all the ministers, and their doubtful eyes fell on Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi had known someone would say this...
He suddenly raised his voice: "Princess Kunxing please!"
In an instant, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Princess Kunxing? Emperor Chongzhen’s daughter?
Impossible. Impossible! I heard that Princess Kunxing is dead. Can the dead be resurrected?
But when a fifteen-year-old girl walked in slowly, everyone's eyes widened.
Zhu Yousong also let out a long sigh. He recognized this girl who was missing an arm——
Princess Kunxing!
Yes. This girl is Princess Kunxing! He has seen her many times. Not only Zhu Yousong, many people in the court have seen Princess Kunxing!
The real Princess Kunxing!
"Prince Dechang. Do you still recognize me?" When Princess Kunxing opened her mouth, she didn't call her "Prince Fu", let alone "Your Majesty", but Zhu Yousong's former title "Prince Dechang".
Zhu Yousong let out a long sigh in his heart. What should have come has come. He forced a smile and said: "Princess Kunxing, there are rumors that you have been in trouble, but you didn't want to but you still escaped."
After Zhu Yousong said this, even those who did not recognize Princess Kunxing no longer had any doubts about her identity...
"My escape from the catastrophe is all thanks to King Wu Lie." Princess Kunxing smiled slightly: "And there is also good news to tell King Dechang that my fifth brother has also escaped from danger."
Another thunder exploded on Zhu Yousong's head...Zhu Cihuan was really out of danger, Zhu Cihuan was really out of danger!
Princess Kunxing said slowly: "Besides these, my fifth brother is ready to ascend the throne in the capital!"
The ministers looked at each other, Zhu Cihuan ascended the throne? Zhu Cihuan ascended the throne? What kind of drama is this? Who is the orthodox one?
Before they could react, they saw Duan San'er, a subordinate of King Wulie, striding in: "Go back to the prince, it's eight hundred miles from the capital. The fifth prince, Zhu Cihuan, will ascend the throne in the capital. Next year will be the first year of Jingping."
'. Consecrate King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi as the regent! He takes over all military and political power, and the regent has the power to kill all officials in the world without doing anything!"
Regent——Ding Yunyi!
All officials in the world, including the regent, have the power to kill them without doing anything!
This is a precedent that has never been seen in Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, King Wulie Ding Yunyi, has received the decree. Long live, long live, long live your majesty!" Ding Yunyi said loudly and energetically.
The court was condensed in a terrifying silence.
"Ding Yunyi!" Ruan Dacheng saw Ding Yunyi looking at him and knew that no matter what, his fate and Zhu Yousong's fate were already connected. Once Zhu Cihuan proclaimed himself emperor, everything would be irreversible: "Even if this is true, Kun Xing
Princess, what does that mean? The Emperor of Heaven is here, and the rest are all false emperors!"
"King Wulie, who is he?" Princess Kunxing asked calmly.
"Back to the princess, this person's name is Ruan Dacheng, he is just a despicable and shameless villain." Ding Yunyi said with a sneer.
Princess Kunxing said "Oh": "Ruan Dacheng insulted Your Majesty like this and punished the nine tribes! Regent, Your Majesty has a decree. All officials in the world, the Regent has the right to kill them without doing anything!"
"I obey the decree!"
Ding Yunyi suddenly pulled out the dragon's fang. When no one was prepared, a scream was heard, and then blood splattered. When Ding Yunyi sheathed the sword, a corpse had fallen into a pool of blood.
Ruan Dacheng!
It's chaos, the court is completely in chaos!
Some people screamed in fear, and some collapsed on the ground. This sudden change is really shocking. Ding Yunyi actually openly killed someone in the court!
Zhu Yousong's legs were trembling. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Ding Yunyi, you, you!" Ma Shiying pointed at Ding Yunyi, but could not say a word.
People like Shi Kefa and Lu Daqi were also dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that Ding Yunyi would have such courage to kill Ruan Dacheng in the court hall!
"Who else!" Ding Yunyi looked at everyone coldly.
"Ding Yunyi, you are so arrogant!" Gao Jie jumped out: "This is Nanjing, not the capital, nor your Fujian. You are blatantly killing imperial officials here. Do you still want to leave here alive?"
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired! Liu Liangzuo also stood up: "Ding Yunyi, no matter who you support, stay here today!"
A chilling atmosphere instantly filled the court...
"Report!" Another person came in: "Report to King Wu Lie, our 300,000 elite Tiger Guards have arrived in Nanjing!"
With a "crash", the court hall began to boil like boiling water. The Tiger Guards are here, the Tiger Guards are here! The invincible Tiger Guards have really arrived in Nanjing!
In fact, only 30,000 Huben Guards came this time, pretending to be 300,000. This was to create the strongest sense of fear in the hearts of Nanjing officials.
"Okay, pass it on and set up camp temporarily!" Ding Yunyi said with a cold expression: "No one is allowed to attack without my order. Anyone who violates will be killed!"
Gao Jie's lips trembled. He never thought that Ding Yunyi had actually transferred the Tiger Guards.
That is the Tiger Guard. Even if he gathers all the strength of the four towns in Jiangbei, he may not be able to stop it. But now he is riding a tiger and has to hold on no matter what, otherwise his future and even his life will be over.
"Hu Ben Guards? Can we save you now?" Gao Jie said murderously: "Ding Yunyi, you can't even take this step today!"
"Really?" Ding Yunyi asked suddenly, and then smiled.
Looking at Ding Yunyi's face, calm and calm, Gao Jie didn't know why he was like this, but his heart was telling him that Ding Yunyi must have made some perfect preparations!
