Beiyang new warlord

Also impatient, with the support of the eunuch Tian Cheng, a pair of stubby radish legs moved like flying, Zhu Yousong rarely ran up the dragon chair quickly by himself, and before the ministers finished saluting, he had already Can't wait to lean forward half body.

"Bachelor, what does the regent mean?"

"Mr. Shi, I beg you, you must speak a few words of kindness for me! As long as the regent agrees to make me King of Fortune and occupy the Henan fief, no, half, half of the fief will do! I will leave the city and surrender!"

The emperor lost his heart to protect the country. In the entire court, the faces of the officials kneeling on the ground turned ashen, and they sighed. This double standard of morality was once again revealed. Gao Hongtu was full of resentment, he patted his thighs angrily, knelt up straight, and shouted in pain.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, a saint! The grandson of the Daxing Emperor Wanli, when he lives with the country, how can he bow his knees to the savage in Liaodong, that rough warrior? Your Majesty is so worthy of the ancestors?"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Following that, a group of ministers also knelt down one after another and kowtowed heavily.

Now Shi Kefa understands Ma Shiying a bit. He has seen the ugliness of the ministers to the fullest. It took more than half of his effort to call these well-dressed colleagues back in one afternoon. Hundreds of horses were running out of breath. Come pretend to be a good person, pious appearance is a true portrayal of them!

Among the group of gentlemen, the real villain also looked cute. Standing against the officials, Ruan Dacheng, Minister of the Ministry of War who was beaten as an eunuch before, bravely stood up and shouted out of righteous indignation.

"Now that the Northern Army is approaching the city, where are you waiting? Now you are talking hypocritically again? How shameless are you waiting?"

"Besides, there will be no reply tomorrow, and the heavy artillery of the Northern Army is about to approach the city! In the battle of Yangzhou, the regent's cannons were fired, and the defenders were cut to pieces in an instant. The heavens will also have such a catastrophe, will you put your Majesty in a difficult situation? You should not be a servant of a man! Don't be a son of a man!"

This is the ability of the Donglin Party, and he deserves to be wronged. Hearing Ruan Dacheng's accusation, Li Zhan, the censor of Zuodu, knelt up straight without blushing, and worshiped with high spirits.

"All the officials returned to their hometowns, scattered all their family resources, and called on the righteous soldiers to fight the northern bandits to the death! You are a remnant of the eunuch party, what face do you have to be a minister in the same hall in front of the princes, and talk freely? The most shameless is If it wasn't for you, you unrestrained and unrighteous people, how could the Ming Dynasty have what it is today?"

After cursing, Li Zhan kowtowed heavily to Hongguang again, kowtowed his head and said: "I implore Your Majesty, behead this treacherous minister!"

The Donglin Party's usual big move was to attack all over the screen, followed by the Zuodu Yushi, and with a whimper, hundreds of people knelt on the ground again, kowtowing their heads heavily.

"I implore Your Majesty, behead this treacherous minister!"

Listening to these pieces, Ruan Dacheng's old face was livid with anger, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

But just as the factional struggle was raging again, a roar suddenly rang out from the hall!

"enough!"

Indeed, Zhu Yousong is stupid, lazy, greedy and lustful, but compared to Emperor Chongzhen, his only advantage is to save face by not dying, and a man can bend and stretch!

"When the country is dying, all of you are still making endless noises for your own self-interest. You should all be killed!"

The emperor was the emperor after all, the first time Zhu Yousong was furious, it really shocked the ministers, all the ministers knelt down dumbfounded, not daring to vent their anger.

It's a pity that Zhu Yousong was handsome for less than three seconds, and only then did he scare the officials. He smiled again, nodded to Shi Kefa and asked kindly: "Sir, don't go around in circles, what is the regent?" How to negotiate with you, is it easy for everyone to discuss sometimes!"

At this time, Shi Kefa was clearly disheartened, he straightened up on his knees, and said in a cold voice while holding his fists heavily.

"Return to Your Majesty, I learned from Dr. Zuo! The first lesson taught by the teacher is loyalty to the emperor and filial piety to the father. I will never forget it for a moment. If I am not a traitor, I am still a subject of your Majesty. Once the country is overthrown, I am willing to die here." Your Majesty, serve the country with death! Mao Ni has no orders!"

"Then what are you doing here?"

Even though Shi Kefa expressed his allegiance with tears in his eyes, Zhu Yousong still made a 180-degree turn in his attitude, his smiling face disappeared, and he hummed angrily.

"Returning to Your Majesty, that Mao reversed the minister and made a proposal. The minister thought it would be beneficial to the country, so he had the audacity not to die in Yangzhou, and brought him back to Nanjing to be judged by the emperor!"

"Mao Jue wants to make peace!"

In an instant, the entire court seemed to be frozen by magic. Both the emperor and the ministers were silent and stunned. In the entire hall, only the whistling night wind could be heard...

Chapter 626. North and South Ming Dynasty

"And other good things?"

After a few minutes of silence in the courtroom, Zhu Yousong unbelievably spoke out the aspirations of almost all the officials.

Mao Jue's summation is like a robber's pen on your neck with a knife, and he is about to slap you on the ground to let blood, and suddenly the robber is enlightened and believes in Buddha.

However, seeing his colleagues and ministers rejoicing, Shi Kefa's tone became hasty again. Kneeling on the ground, he held his fists heavily: "Your Majesty, everyone! Mao Ni's request for peace is not without Conditional!"

"What request does the Prince Regent have, Mr. Shi will come quickly!"

Hastily sat up his fat body again, and helped the crown on his head. Emperor Hongguang asked impatiently again, and the rest of the scholar-bureaucrats also pricked up their ears, with heavy faces. I got the condition list drafted by Mao Jue yesterday.

"The two sides draw the river to rule, Huguang and Sichuan belong to our Southern Dynasty, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to his Northern Dynasty!"

"can!"

Most people are already mentally prepared for this point. After all, these sites are under the actual control of Mao Jue. It is enough for you if they are not destroyed. Why do you want to grab them back?Zhu Yousong nodded directly, but the rest of the officials acquiesced in their hearts and kept silent on their faces, just like the Chongzhen Dynasty, waiting for the big head to come out and take the blame, so as to prevent historical stigma and future settlements.

"Ceded Shanghai County, Hangzhou, Ningbo County, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen Island, Xinnan County! Ceded Qiongzhou, Ryukyu, the Northern Dynasty stationed troops here, and the Southern Dynasty must not interfere!"

"This......"

Not too difficult, but too weird!Regardless of whether the land Mao Jue asked to cede was poor or rich, since ancient times the cession of land has always been to cede areas that are close to the border and easy to guard. What he cede is like a pearl necklace, cutting a large circle along the southeast coast, military Speaking from the top, it is said that the first person does not care about each other. Listening to this request, not only Zhu Yousong, but also all the officials in the huge court are at a loss.

Suddenly, Wang Qia suddenly jumped out, pointed at Shi Kefa's nose and cursed: "What a Shige department, and you said you didn't turn your back on the enemy! In this court, you are clearly looking for Mao Ni! "

"Ming is asking for peace! You are trying to paralyze my dynasty, cut off Shanghai and Hangzhou, and while my dynasty is being careless, you circle around from behind and outflank me, trying to annihilate my Daming with one blow! What a wolfish ambition!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yousong's old face immediately turned pale with fright, and he sat trembling on the dragon chair. Scolding, Shi Kefa didn't even bother to explain, and stood up with his arms folded, looking at his colleagues so coldly.

"My lord, please kill this traitor!"

Another full-screen big move, Wang Qia, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, a large group of Donglin officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed. If it was the Chongzhen Dynasty, Shi Kefa would have to be dragged down by his official uniform immediately, but However, the weak and wimpy Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong encountered by these "gentlemen" had a fat head shaking like a rattle drum, and he was begging and shaking his head.

"Gentlemen, the two countries are at war without beheading the envoys! What if Mr. Shi is injured and the regent's army crosses the river in a fit of anger, what shall I do?"

"Your Majesty's words are true! Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think highly of yourself? The Regent didn't want to discuss peace, so he directly attacked the army. Why should he resist, relying on your king? Or relying on Gao Hongtu, who abandoned his official position and fled? Qian Qianyi? I heard that this old man was not willing to send Master Liu off. Your old romantic leader combed out Master Gu from Meilou and sent him to Jiangbei! It’s still a detour, does the Regent need this detour?"

No matter how thick-skinned, Ruan Dacheng robbed everyone of them with red faces, especially Qian Qianyi, who was named by him, causing some cracks to appear in Donglin. This news cannot be concealed, and many Everyone has heard about Qian Qianyi grooming Gu Hengbo. Looking at his back, a group of people couldn't help pointing.

The court was a little quiet, and Shi Kefa finally cleared his throat heavily: "Everyone, although Mao Ni's request for peace was sudden, it was not without trace! According to my estimation, Mao Ni has already lost his desire for power. I'm going back to the capital to become emperor! Although Mao Ni is unstoppable, he is only a military leader after all, and his vision is short-sighted. Xiaofu will be safe, and it is estimated that the north is enough to satisfy his appetite!"

"On the other hand, Jiangnan Shilin's style of writing is clear and bright, and his integrity is extremely upright. He is also afraid that once Jiangnan is captured, Shilin will enter the court and cause obstacles for his usurpation of the throne!"

"As for cutting these lands, I don't think he has any bad intentions. It's all about greed! Mao was against merchants, and ships went directly to all countries in Southeast Asia. Although these lands are scattered, rich or poor, they are good ports! They can berth for him. And Mao Jue's next request is also extremely confirmed this point. He asked the caravan under his name to enter the south of the Yangtze River for business, and the imperial court should not levy a penny of taxes. The imperial court pays 1000 million taels of silver, 400 million taels of silver in annual tribute to the north, 100 million pieces of juan cloth, and 400 million shi of rice grain. Apart from asking for money, he didn't even mention asking His Majesty to abdicate to supervise the country. Mao Ni has completely fallen into the eyes of money!"

"Everyone, Mao Ni's move is a rare opportunity to breathe for my Daming. Although it is humiliating now! But it has preserved the fire of my Daming clan, so that we can try our best! Waiting for Mao Ni to do the opposite, and Jiangbei people's grievances are everywhere. It is not impossible for the great cause of Taizu to be carried out and the army to march northward to recover the rivers and mountains! Everyone, I, Shi Kefa, beg you to think twice, don’t follow the old path of killing Mongolian envoys in the Southern Song Dynasty and eventually destroying the country!”

What Shi Kefa said was really heart-pounding. For a while, all the officials in the court were stunned and thoughtful, and there was silence for a few minutes, and a light cough suddenly sounded. In his expression, one of Shi Kefa's political opponents, Ma Shiying, a scholar of the First Assistant University, stood up.

"Master Shi agrees with Mr. Ma!"

"As long as you keep my Ming Dynasty! There is a chance. Even if the Lord Regent's plan is to hide the old warehouse, as Lord Wang Qia said, during this period, we can still mobilize our troops to defend the vicinity of Hangzhou. No matter how bad it is, the situation will not be bad. go there?"

To say that the Donglin Party is hypocritical is really extremely hypocritical!At this juncture, he was still worried about his own reputation, so Gao Hongtu flicked his sleeves heavily on purpose.

"Today's discussion, the old man objected. This is clearly a plan to cover up the old warehouse. If we cede the land and pay money in the future, we will not protect our Ming Dynasty, and we will not fight unless we are civil servants! Gai Fuchen has no intention of fighting!"
