Chapter 251: What? Have the eunuchs entered the interior of Donglin?
After Dagongfang came again, the scenery was still the same, but Zhu Guobi, who was waiting to be seen, had a very different mentality.
The last time he came, he was still a guest, and he could discuss with a group of Nanjing nobles and ministers who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth how to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujun.
But now, he is already a prisoner of the ranks, a eunuch sinner! Some of the nobles and ministers who talked with him in the past have already died-Xu Hongji, Zou Cunyi, Liu Yunji, Fang Yiyuan, Jiao Mengxiong, Zhang Guocai, Huang Jiuding, Liu Zuochang, Tang Guozuo, Guo Zuoyong, Li Zushu and other eleven great nobles have been executed in the first batch!
And those who are not dead are either waiting for death, or with the best attitude of confession, cooperate with Jinyiwei to raid their own homes - this is not raiding their homes, this is redeeming their lives! If you don't perform well, you have to go to Dayuan Island...... It's a ghost gate known as "ten people go, six people die"!
But Zhu Guobi now wants to go to Dayuan Island to spend the rest of his life...... Because he felt that his sin was too great! And the family property is too small, it is not enough to atone for sins! I was already overjoyed to be punished by a large number of people.
Who made him a noble sent by Beijing, most of the family property was lost in the north, although he had worked hard to embezzle after arriving in Huai'an, but the amount was limited, and it was nothing compared to his own big crimes.
However, compared with those nobles and ministers in Nanjing, he also has luck. He is the only one in Nanjing, and several of his brothers, nephews, and his son all live in Beijing. Among them, there is also a brother and two nephews who followed Zhu Cihong to break through to the south, and now they are heroes who have overcome difficulties.
They are heroes, of course, they don't need to help copy Zhu Guobi's house to atone for their sins (copying their brother's home is an insult after all, Zhu Cihong will not treat heroes like this), and they will not be implicated by Zhu Guobi, it is said that Prince Zhu also planned to let one of them attack the title of Marquis of Funing.
So in order to behave well, Zhu Guobi made a list of his property, and now he has it with him, ready to send it to atone for his sins when he sees Zhu Cihong.
If you don't ask for full redemption, you will be satisfied if you can redeem a place to go to Dayuan Island, and you will shed tears when you think about it......
The place where Zhu Cihong personally interrogated Zhu Guobi was placed on the edge of the Great Gong Hall Yongchun Pavilion, which is a rather elegant courtyard, planted with a lot of evergreen plants in all seasons, and also placed a few strange stones transported from Taihu Lake, as well as a two-story small building that has just been renovated, the layout in the building is not luxurious, but it is also everywhere with thought, giving people a comfortable and comfortable feeling.
Zhu Cihong regarded this place as his "upper study" for handling government affairs, and every day before the start of the noon dynasty (in the house), he would watch the music here for a while, and sometimes meet guests here.
When Zhu Guobi was escorted in by the eunuch Chen Shifang of the East Factory and several armed eunuchs of the East Factory, Zhu Cihong was talking with Zhu Chunchen, the new head of Nanjing Jingying, and the senior brother Zheng Sen.
By the way, Zhu Cihong is different from the previous Ming emperors who were set up by the civilian clique, he has a reliable team - the nobles, ministers, civil officials, and military generals who "walked the Long March" with him, as well as those heroes who overcame difficulties and righteous servants who joined on the way to the south, and even the salt merchants who only entered the bureau in Yangzhou, are all very handy. Therefore, the role of eunuchs under Zhu Cihong is not very large.
But he still retained the terrifying Dongzhi Factory, but no longer used them to investigate the rebellion, but became the bodyguard of the family care home, with Chen Shifang, the leader of the former Huojiao eunuchs, as the commander, and let a group of Huojiao eunuchs serve as the backbone, and finally incorporated the Jingjun here in Nanjing into the Dongchang. An armed group of eunuchs was formed, and together with the guards of the East Palace, they were responsible for the security of Dagongfang and Xipu.
And Zhao Zhilong, Han Zanzhou, Zhu Guobi and Zhang Shenyan, the four "eunuch leaders", were also detained by Dongchang - only detained, not interrogated. This Nanjing eunuch rebellion case was handled by Jin Yiwei.
"The criminal minister Zhu Guobi respectfully invites His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An! The guilty minister has drawn up a list of adverse births, please look at it ......"
Zhu Cihong was stunned, "Reverse birth list? You are a Beijing noble, how much can you have in Jiangnan? ”
Zhu Guobi hurriedly said: "Yes, the minister is a corrupt official, and there are many adverse properties that can be sacrificed to the court to atone for their sins!" ”
"Oh, take it and see."
Huang Xiaobao, who was waiting for Zhu Cihong, took the three-page list and handed it to Zhu Cihong.
"So much? How many are there in total? ”
"Returning to the Chitose Lord, not counting the minister's industry in Huai'an, here in Jiangnan alone, there are 3,000 acres of land, seven houses, and 530,000 ......taels of silver."
"So much silver?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, "How did you get greedy?" ”
"The criminal swallowed 200,000 yuan of tax silver to be released from the treasury, and in addition, he ate empty quotas, deducted more than 200,000 yuan of military salaries, and the rest was used to sell smuggled ...... boats."
"What? How much can there be for empty quotas and military salaries? The grain army has such a big oil and water? ”
"Of course, there are not so many food carriers...... The minister, the minister was also ordered by the traitor Xu Hongji to supervise the rectification of the Nanjing camp, and by the way, he made a little ......"
"What? You rebelled with your head on your belt, and you didn't forget to embezzle? Zhu Cihong was a little speechless, shook his head and checked the list of Zhu Guobi's family property, and the first asset on the list confused the dignified Prince Zhu.
"What is the White Gate of the Kou Clan? Is it a property? ”
"It's not real estate, it's ......" Zhu Guobi blushed, lowered his head, and looked ashamed.
"It's a woman!" Zheng Sen on the side answered for him, "It's Kou Baimen among Qin Huai's Bayan." ”
"Oh......" Zhu Cihong nodded, "Then keep it for reward." ”
He didn't have much interest in Qin Huai Bayan, he ignored Chen Yuanyuan when he robbed Wu Sanmei before, and later saw Gu Hengbo when he went south from Dagukou, and saw Liu Rui again at Qian Qianyi.
These three are all big names among the eight Yan, and their names are much louder than Kou Baimen, but in Zhu Cihong's opinion, that's the case. The face is not as good as Fei Zhen'e, the figure is not as good as Wu Sanmei, and the dignified is not as good as Ning Xiangyu.
"Your Royal Highness," Zheng Sen whispered to Zhu Cihong, "This woman is famous in Jinling, so she can't just reward people......
Zhu Cihong looked at Zheng Sen with a smile, "Senior brother, do you want it?" ”
"No, it'......s not," Zheng Sen shook his head repeatedly, "Your Royal Highness, I, I haven't thought about it." ”
"What are you going to do with that woman? Public auction? ”
Zheng Sen hurriedly shook his head: "Can't it be auctioned...... Your Royal Highness, if you want to mingle with Donglin talents, you have to have a bridge, and this Kou Baimen is the bridge to contact Donglin talents for you. ”
"Oh, courtesan, the clubhouse ......" Prince Zhu nodded, and then said two words that Zheng Sen didn't understand well, "Okay, you can do it." ”
Listening to Zhu Cihong and Zheng Sen talking lightly about Kou Baimen, Zhu Guobi's distressed tears fell, that was the "goddess" in his eyes, and he gave it away like this, and people didn't take it seriously!
"Zhu Guobi," Zhu Cihong had already lowered his tone at this time, "Do you want to live or die?" ”
"I want to live, the criminal wants to live......" Zhu Guobi heard this, and his heart was overjoyed.
"Then are you the leader of the eunuchs?"
What the? Eunuch leader?
Zhu Guobi was stunned, he was Wei Zhongxian's opponent! was also robbed of his knighthood because of his closeness to the Donglin Party against Wei Zhongxian, and it was only after Chongzhen came to power that he was reused.
How did this become a eunuch? Or the boss......
"Sinner, sinner......" He hurriedly turned his eyes to Zhu Chunchen for help, and saw Zhu Chunchen nodding, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Sinners are the leaders of the eunuchs!" ”
"Then why did Wei Zhongxian take your knighthood?"
Why?
Zhu Guobi said in his heart: I have to make it up......
"Because, because Wei Zhongxian wants the criminal ministers to blend into the Donglin Party!"
There's a future! Zhu Cihong nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, you must be a spy who has infiltrated Donglin!" You say, what is the purpose of you blending into Donglin? ”
What purpose?
Zhu Guobi thought hard for a while, and said, "The criminal minister is to inquire about the inside story of the Donglin Party for Wei Zhongxian......"
"That's all?" Zhu Cihong's face was already sunk.
"And, there'......"
"What else?"
What else? I don't know!
Zhu Cihong snorted and thought: Why are you so stupid!
"Are you developing the same party within Donglin for the eunuch party?" Zhu Cihong asked sharply.
"Yes, yes......" Zhu Guobi replied in a trembling voice.
