Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ding Yunyi finally made up his mind to kill Wang Qingheng.

    And these choices were made under Ye Yuan's "persistence". All the infamy of being unkind and disowning his relatives naturally fell on Wang Qingheng.

    This is what makes Ye Yuan so smart.  Taking on some of the infamy for King Wulie will be of great benefit to his future development.

    Wang Qingheng is Ding Yunyi¡¯s eldest brother-in-law, while Deng Muzhi is Ding Yunyi¡¯s eldest brother-in-law.

    Once upon a time, Ding Yunyi always thought that Deng Muzhi was a good official, an upright official, and an official who was loved by the people, but from Lu Yanhan's mouth, he discovered that maybe that was not the case.

    At this time, Lu Yanhan no longer needed to frame Deng Muzhi.  .  .  .  .  .

    "Your Majesty, this is the information collected." Xie Tian handed all the information he collected into Ding Yunyi's hands: "Deng Muzhi is very smart and cautious in his work, so he has never left any flaws, but if he really wants to  It¡¯s not that difficult to collect. The evidence is all here, please take a look at it yourself.¡±

    After reading only two pages, Ding Yunyi's face became angry. After reading another page, Ding Yunyi slammed all the evidence onto the table.

    After being silent for a long time, I thought that Ding Yunyi would be furious, but he didn't expect that Ding Yunyi suddenly sighed: "You said, these officials have hollowed out the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Aren't they still satisfied? Do they have to get it?"  Will the Ming Dynasty be satisfied with another disaster?"

    Qin Yun and Xie Tian glanced at each other, and Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "There are people like this in every dynasty and every generation. For example, in our Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu killed too few corrupt officials? But there is such a group of people who come one after another.  , are not afraid of beheading or skinning, only have money in their eyes, and do not have the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not afraid of punishment. One sword can kill hundreds of people, but it cannot kill all the corrupt officials in the world.  But you can¡¯t scare those officials!¡±

    Ding Yunyi nodded slightly: "So our newly enacted laws should be implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Although a perfect law and a perfect supervision system cannot fundamentally eliminate the emergence of corrupt officials,  This will be done to the greatest extent possible. Also, the judicial system must be established. I am already making preparations for the appointment of the Supreme Court, and the court will not be dominated by anyone.  ."

    He expressed many of his ideas, some of which were unheard of by Qin Yun and others.  But at this time, Ding Yunyi's determination to implement these ideas has become irreversible.  .  .  .  .  .

    "Your Majesty, Zhu Yousong has proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing!"

    After Li Zicheng conquered Beijing.  Zhu Yousong fled south to Huai'an, and was rushed to Nanjing by Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying and others. He was first proclaimed the supervisory state, and then the emperor, Jianyuan Hongguang.

    This news immediately interrupted everyone¡¯s conversation.  Ding Yunyi was not very surprised, but Qin Yun and others were furious: "How unreasonable. We fought bloody battles, risked our lives, and finally defeated the rogue bandits and the Manchus. Who are they? How dare they proclaim themselves emperor in Nanjing?"  "

    As soon as Qin Yun said these words, there was a lot of noise, and the officials and generals of the Huben Guard Group were all shouting.  Everyone looked indignant.  Some of the impatient ones even called for the army of Tiger Guards to be raised immediately to attack Nanjing!

    Ding Yunyi sneered a few times.

    Okay, now that Zhu Yousong has become emperor, how many other clowns will jump out?

    It¡¯s time to resolve these things!

    "Report. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian has arrived in the capital, asking to see King Wu Lie!"

    The king of Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yujian, is here?

    Ding Yunyi was startled after hearing this. He had met Zhu Yujian several times back then, and his impression of this man was quite good.  And I know that this person was the famous Emperor Longwu in another period of history.

    But in this period of history, he could no longer sit on the throne.  .  .  .  .  .

    Zhu Yujian was invited in and saw Ding Yunyi's face.  Zhu Yujian said something that stunned everyone:

    He actually knelt on the ground!

    "Why is the King of Tang like this?" Ding Yunyi was shocked and hurriedly wanted to help him, but Zhu Yujian said sternly: "King Wu Lie, please sit upright and don't move, otherwise Zhu Yujian will be killed here!"

    Ding Yunyi didn't know what he wanted to do, so he could only sit down as he said. Zhu Yujian said loudly: "The late Emperor Long Yu, the Ming Dynasty collapsed, there were rogues inside and occupied the capital, and there were Manchus watching eagerly outside. It was a life-or-death opportunity.  King Wu Lie sent out a strong army to defend the capital, and then destroyed the Qing Dynasty. He avenged the bloody vengeance for our Ming Dynasty, avenged the bloody vengeance for our Zhu family, and performed unparalleled feats for our Ming Dynasty. As a descendant of the Zhu family, I will take my place.  The Zhu family and Daming kowtowed to King Wu Lie! "

      This descendant of the Zhu family, King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty, really kowtowed three times to King Wu Lie Ding Yunyi after saying these words.  When I raised my head again, tears were already streaming down my face:

    "King Wu Lie, I, Zhu Yujian, will never be able to repay your kindness to the Zhu family in this life!"

    The ministers such as Ding Yuanzhao and Zhang Pu could not help but shed tears.  .  .  .  .  .

    Zhu Yujian was at least right about one thing. Everything in the Ming Dynasty was given by Ding Yunyi. Without Ding Yunyi, the world of the Ming Dynasty would have changed long ago.

    "Prince Tang, please get up!" Ding Yunyi said loudly.

    Zhu Yujian stood up and immediately said: "When I entered the capital, the first news I heard was that Zhu Yousong had proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing. How is King Wu Lie prepared?"

    Ding Yunyi glanced at him: "I want to surrender to Zhu Yousong, what does the King of Tang think?"

    "Why is King Wu Lie so confused?" Zhu Yujian's voice was so anxious that he asked, "Who is Zhu Yousong? He is fatuous and decadent, pursues lust and lust, and uses non-human beings. How can such a person become emperor? If King Wu Lie surrendered to  He will be harmed sooner or later!"

    "I also know what kind of person Zhu Yousong is, so I just tested the king of Tang." Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "If I, Ding Yunyi, want to surrender to such a stupid person, then I will surrender. Will my soldiers be lucky?  ?¡±

    He said with a half-smile, "I want to make the King of Tang the emperor, what do you think?"

    "No!" Zhu Yujian shouted again: "How can I be worthy of being called emperor? The late emperor's descendants are still living among the people. Why doesn't King Wu Lie urgently look for them?"

    Ding Yunyi nodded slightly. In fact, he was already looking for several sons of Emperor Chongzhen.  If you can find one of them, things will be much easier.  If you really can't find it, you can only find another way.

    While they were discussing, someone came to report: "The imperial envoy sent by Zhu Yousong from Nanjing is here."

    "Imperial envoy?" Ding Yunyi sneered: "Let him in."

    As soon as the imperial envoy came in, he shouted loudly: "Wu Lie King Ding Yunyi accepts the order!"

    "Your Majesty, Ding Yunyi, accepts the order!" To everyone's surprise, Ding Yunyi actually accepted the order.

    The imperial minister breathed an unknown sigh of relief.

    Zhu Yousong's proclaimed emperor was actually very accidental.

    During the Tianqi Dynasty, in order to oppose the succession of King Fu and his mother Zheng Guifei from intervening in politics, the Donglin Party members had formed an indissoluble feud with the Fu clan.  In order to prevent Zhu Yousong from taking the opportunity to retaliate after he ascended the throne.  Led by Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, he was named as a virtuous man.  An inexplicable heir, King Lu, was launched with great fanfare.

    King Lu has a remote bloodline, so he naturally lacks a reason to succeed.  But his so-called virtuous reputation has won the sympathy and support of many people.  In fact, regardless of whether King Lu is a true virtuous person, the inheritance system is the eldest son.  It has its own practical considerations.  In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was responsible.  Even if the emperor is weak, responsible ministers can still keep the political institutions functioning normally.  Considering the situation, all the ministers in the capital need is a formal spiritual leader.  But it does not necessarily have to be a wise king with great talents and strategies.  Historically, Sima Rui was able to favor the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but he was nothing more than a cowardly and incompetent monarch.  The key is for the ministers to work together.  Only in this way can the crisis be maintained.  Now let go of the King of Fortune in the name of establishing a virtuous person.  The Ming Dynasty was scattered all over the country, and there were many dragon sons and grandsons who were famous, ambitious and talented.  Since King Lu can be established, who cannot be established?  Naturally, it is impossible for them to demand nationwide universal suffrage, but there are always a large number of careerists who take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it.  Use support to gain merit.  The situation in Nanming is bound to collapse and be out of control.

    While the support meeting in Nanjing was getting lively, Zhu Yousong, who was far away in Huai'an, panicked.  As one of the three most popular candidates, no one asked him to deliver a campaign speech or policy platform.  There are only a few people who come to show their loyalty and engage in speculation.  All this made Zhu Yousong feel that the situation was not good.

    In fact, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying and other important ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty regarded the emperor they selected and prepared to support as an earthen puppet from the beginning.  No matter who is the king, the important thing is that it will not hinder them from grasping the power in their hands.  Deep down in his heart, the once majestic emperor was nothing more than a symbol to these important ministers.  A decoration.  Shi Kefa pointed out that among the seven reasons why the King of Fu could not be established, one of them was "there is a need for interference".  Yes, it is an emperor who is "unreasonable to interfere" that important ministers are taboo about.  To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yousong, who everyone thought was fat-headed, confused and mediocre, actually made a wonderful move.  In one fell swoop, he defeated the Gonggun princes in Nanjing who thought they had a plan.

    Zhu Yousong actually understood the truth that political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and directly sought help from the generals of the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River.  Gao Jie and Huang Degong were originally ambitious wandering warlords, and saw that there was a big deal to be made with "decided strategy and support".  What a great opportunity to make huge profits without any capital.  So they hit it off and got rid of their immediate boss, who was secretly discussing with Shi Kefa.Ma Shiying, Governor of Yangyang.  Became the hero of decision-making.  The news reached Nanjing.  Everyone was shocked.  Ma Shiying was old in the officialdom. When he saw that his generals were rebelling, it was useless to fight.  He quickly expressed his feelings to Zhu Yousong and became the first civil servant in Conglong.  Shi Kefa was kept in the dark at first and refused to accept the criticism. In a letter to Ma Shiying, he scolded Zhu Yousong for being confused.  Unexpectedly, it became a handle that fell into the hands of others.  Immediately, Ma Shiying led the army to escort Zhu Yousong to Pukou, Nanjing with murderous intent.  The situation has been decided, and the remorseful Shi Kefa and the Donglin Party members have no choice but to accept this reality.

    Ma Shiying and others who supported Zhu Yousong as emperor were not afraid of Shi Kefa, but they were deeply afraid of one person:

    Ding Yunyi!

    This is the prince with a different surname that Emperor Chongzhen granted him during his lifetime, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and a long list of official positions.  Apart from these good things, the most feared thing is his elite tiger guards!

    Especially after the Huben Guards recaptured the capital and destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, his reputation has reached an unprecedented level.  If he opposes Zhu Yousong becoming emperor, then Zhu Yousong's position will be unstable.

    There is even a possibility that Ding Yunyi would raise an army of Tiger Guards to attack Nanjing!

    ? Then the situation becomes more subtle.  .  .  .  .  .

    Therefore, after Ma Shiying discussed with Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and others, they decided to test Ding Yunyi first. In the name of Zhu Yousong, he ensured that Ding Yunyi's various positions would remain unchanged, and added "loyalty and righteousness" in front of his title "King Wu Lie".  "Two words.  He was also rewarded with thousands of taels of gold, a batch of jewels, and some brocade.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is is is without Ding Yunyi, and now he wants to canonize him, the danger of coming to the capital can be imagined.  Everyone knew that if they came to the capital to read out the so-called "imperial edict" to Ding Yunyi, they would most likely never be able to return alive.

    Who would have thought that the imperial envoy could finish reading the imperial edict in one go.  Ding Yunyi then loudly said: "Wu Lie King Ding Yunyi has received the decree!"

    The imperial envoy breathed a long sigh of relief and handed the imperial edict to Ding Yunyi: "Congratulations to King Wu Lie, congratulations to King Wu Lie. Your Majesty holds King Wu Lie in high regard."

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Imperial Envoy. Please go back and tell the Emperor. Ding Yunyi will come to Nanjing in person before the fifteenth of next month to express his gratitude!"

    The imperial envoy¡¯s expression changed slightly: ¡°King Wu Lie is going to Nanjing?¡±

    "Exactly, when the new emperor ascends the throne, how can we people not go?" Ding Yunyi was still smiling.

    The imperial minister was a little confused as to what Ding Yunyi was planning.  .  .  .  .  .

    Arrange the imperial envoys in good condition.  The officials and generals of the Huben Guard immediately started to make a fuss, shouting that they could not go to Nanjing under any circumstances. What if those people in Nanjing had ill intentions towards King Wu Lie?

    After his subordinates calmed down a little, Ding Yunyi said slowly: "There are only a few roads today. The first is to recognize Zhu Yousong as the emperor. From then on, we will do whatever he asks us to do. Second, we  Establish a new emperor and raise an army to attack Nanjing!"

    "A crusade is a crusade. How can we, the Tiger Guards, be afraid of them?" Wang Wei was the first to shout loudly.

    "The Ming Dynasty has experienced too many wars. Do we still want our own people to fight our own people?" Ding Yunyi shook his head and said: "Now everything is waiting to be done, and everything has to be started again. The Ming Dynasty cannot withstand wars. Jiangbei Four  Although Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others in the town are all brave men, their subordinates have their own agendas, but there is no shortage of good generals and warriors. Once a fight starts, it will be those innocent people who will be the unlucky ones!  "

    "Are we really going to surrender to Zhu Yousong?" Wang Wei said unwillingly.

    "If you ask me to surrender to someone like Zhu Yousong, not only will I not be willing, but everyone in the world will also not surrender." Ding Yunyi sneered and said: "To deal with him, only a hundred people are enough!"

    Everyone took a breath of air.  Could it be that King Wulie went to Nanjing this time to solve Zhu Yousong's problem?

    "King Wu Lie, think twice!" Zhang Pu said hurriedly: "After all, that is their territory now. King Wu Lie only brought a hundred people to Nanjing. I am worried that they will plot against you!"

    "Mr. Ximing, why worry!" Ding Yunyi said proudly: "I, Ding Yunyi, have never been afraid of anyone in the world. Those people in Nanjing are just a mob. Besides, they themselves are not united. Between Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa  . Shi Kefa and Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying, and even the four towns in Jiangbei have different intentions. I am going to defeat them one by one and determine the situation in the world. "

    As he said that, he looked towards Zhang Pu: "Mr. Ximing, I have to ask you for a favor."

    "No matter what King Wu Lie said, I am willing to take Zhang Pu's head." Ever since Zhang Pu saw King Wu Lie's loyalty and bravery with his own eyes,Later, he had already given up his heart on Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yunyi nodded and smiled and said: "Please Mr. Ximing, please leave immediately and summon all the scholars from Jiangnan to gather in Nanjing, and then meet me when I arrive in Nanjing."

    "Yes, I will go back to Jiangnan right now." Zhang Pu said without thinking.

    "Thank God, find the late emperor's heir at all costs!" Ding Yunyi ordered: "Father, you stay in the capital. I will send Qin Yun, Xie Tian, ??Li Dingguo and others to stay to assist you. Once the late emperor's heir is found, he will immediately support him and enthrone him.  No need to wait for me."

    "Don't worry." Ding Yuanzhao was also extremely convinced of his son's words at this time.

    "Li Dingguo, I will leave you 30,000 elites. If there is any civil strife in the capital, we will kill them without mercy!"

    "Yes, kill without mercy!"

    "Cai Jiuzhou and Zhang Xianxuan led the navy up the river. One force threatened the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River, and the other force threatened Nanjing. But remember, don't take action unless it is absolutely necessary!"

    "yes!"

    "Duan San'er, select one hundred elites to go with me to Nanjing. Wang Wei and Xiao Yifeng each lead 15,000 troops and secretly assemble to Nanjing. Shi Weide and Mansura select 2,000 musketeers from the major regiment.  , sneak into Nanjing in batches, all carrying short fire muskets, and don't show any signs of weakness. Immediately hide and wait for my order!"

    "yes!"

    Orders were passed down one after another, and all the generals obeyed them. Ding Yuanzhao never forgot to tell his son: "Xiang Wen, I know that your bravery is invincible, but you only bring a hundred people into the mirror, so you must pay attention to safety.  Those people are not good at dealing with foreign enemies, but they are very good at dealing with their own people.¡±

    "My Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these people!" Ding Yunyi said coldly: "If I attack Nanjing, we can be decisive in one battle, but Nanjing has to face artillery attacks. This is not what I want to see.  It would be great if these things can be solved without any bloodshed. Father, just don¡¯t worry, I know how to take care of myself.¡±

    Ding Yuanzhao nodded.  He is still full of confidence in his son.  His son's majestic appearance on the battlefield has always been deeply engraved in his mind.

    Ding Yunyi is also full of confidence that he will win. After so many storms and waves, is he still afraid of going to Nanjing?

    Not ending these things in the form of war is exactly what Ding Yunyi, the Martial King of the Ming Dynasty, most wants to see!  £à
