Chen Zilong left the gate of the governor's yamen, called his sedan chair and hurried to the yamen of the jail, where Huang Daozhou and others were locked up.

Although Chen Zilong is now acting as the governor of Hangzhou, everyone knows that he is a popular man around Ma Cheng. The soldiers guarding the prison dare not stop Chen Zilong and respectfully put Chen Zilong in prison.

In prison, Chen Zilong saw Huang Daozhou, whose official uniform was stripped naked. Ma Cheng was not bad to the Donglin Party and did not treat them badly, but just detained them. Huang Daozhou, Zhu Dadian and others were locked in a single room because they were cabinet ministers, which was one of the few benefits.

Chen Zilong and other prison soldiers opened the door of the cell, then entered the cell, and saw his teacher Huang Daozhou wearing a moon-white shirt, sitting in the straw pile in the corner of the wall, closing his eyes to rest. It is now past August 15th, and the temperature in Hangzhou is very cold, so there is naturally no heating equipment in the cell. Chen Zilong saw that the teacher was trembling with cold, and quickly shouted to the prison soldiers: "Go and get the charcoal basin for the teacher to keep warm!"

The prison guard did not dare to offend Chen Zilong, so he had no choice but to go out and find a brazier, put charcoal and took it in.

With the charcoal cell warmer, Chen Zilong knelt in front of Huang Daozhou and said sadly: "Teacher, I'm late for the disciples, so I've been suffering!"

Huang Daozhou closed his eyes and said coldly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out that it is a celebrity around Ma Cheng. Lord Chen must not do this. Where can I have a student like you? I can't afford it!"

There was nothing he could do when Chen Zilong heard that the teacher said, and he didn't want to explain anything. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. Since Chen Zilong knew Ma Cheng, he had to follow Ma Cheng to the end.

"Teacher, the supervisor of the teacher, Ma, has promised the students that he will definitely send the teacher and all the adults to Nandu safely!"

Huang Daozhou was already ready to die when he was captured this time. Now, after hearing what Chen Zilong said, he quickly opened his eyes and asked, "What about Your Majesty? Does Ma Cheng also want to send Your Majesty to Nandu safely?"

The emperor in Huang Daozhou's mouth was Lu King Zhu Changqing. Chen Zilong smiled bitterly when he heard Huang Daozhou say this: "Teacher, the supervisor promised to let the teacher and others go, but how could he let the Lu King go?"

Huang Daozhou sighed when he heard Chen Zilong say this. He knew that although he was of high power, he did not threaten the emperor Zhu Lunkui at all. However, Lu Wang was different. How could he allow others to snore beside his bed? Even if Lu Wang attacked Nanjing and captured Zhu Lunkui, Huang Daozhou would definitely persuade Lu Wang to kill Zhu Lunkui. After all, there is no two days and no two masters in the world, and there can only be one emperor in the world.

When Chen Zilong saw the teacher stunned and didn't say anything, he had no choice but to quietly prepare to quit. When Chen Zilong left the door, Huang Daozhou said: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Since you want to assist Ma Cheng, don't forget your original intention of becoming an official! Go, your fate between you and me has ended, and you will be passers-by in the future!"

When Chen Zilong heard Huang Daozhou say this, he knelt outside the cell again and kowtowed to Huang Daozhou three times, which was a way to save the fate of master and apprentice.

The next day, Huang Daozhou and other twenty-four senior officials of the Donglin Party were shackled and then locked up in a boat and sent to Nanjing, and handed over to Emperor Zhu Lunkuiluo. Lu Wang Zhu Changqing and others were also walking with Huang Daozhou and others, as well as his wife and children. However, Ma Cheng was pretty good to Zhu Changqing, and did not imprison Zhu Changqing, but prepared a large ship for him.

When riding alone, Zhu Changqing saw Ma Cheng's courteous treatment, he still had a slight fantasy in his heart, thinking that he could still see Zhu Lunkui alive.

Zhu Changqing had practiced many times along the way. When he saw Zhu Lunkui, he cried bitterly. He said that the emperor was forced by Huang Daozhou and others to be the one who was forced by Huang Daozhou and others. He hoped that the emperor could spare him and let him be a idle prince.

Zhu Changqing sat as the prince's dream and the boat arrived at the wharf of Wujiang County, which was more than fifty miles away from Suzhou. The deputy general who escorted the fleet decided to stop the boat and rest here. Just when everyone was sleeping at night, a group of people in black appeared on Zhu Changqing's boat. These people sneaked into the boat, killed all the sailors, and then awakened Lu Wang Zhu Changqing.

Zhu Changqing saw a group of men in black appearing in front of him, and immediately knew what was going on, shouting: "What are you doing? I am Zhu Lunkui's uncle. Are you not afraid that Zhu Lunkui will kill you to silence you?"

The man in black did not speak, took out the portrait and looked at Zhu Lunkui, nodded after confirming the target, stepped forward and killed Zhu Changqing's life. Then he killed Zhu Changqing's official concubine Chen, concubine Cao, and two sons and one daughter in the boat. Finally, he sank the bottom of the ship, causing the illusion of sinking.

It was not until dawn the next day that the deputy general in charge of escorting Zhu Changqing's ship had sunk. After picking up Zhu Changqing's body, he was already dead and could not die anymore. The deputy general did not dare to hide the news and quickly reported it to Qi Biaojia, the governor of Nanzhili in Suzhou.

Qi Biaojia sighed after receiving the message. He knew that Ma Cheng would never let Zhu Changqing go. Although Ma Cheng had a bad relationship with Emperor Zhu Lunkui, he was consistent in maintaining Zhu Lunkui's imperial power, because Ma Cheng's rights also came from Zhu Lunkui, so Ma Cheng naturally did not want Zhu Changqing to live to Nanjing.

Although Zhu Changqing's death became inevitable, the procedure that should be taken was still gone. Qi Biaojia immediately wrote a letter to the emperor of Nanjing Zhu Lunkui, and explained the matter in detail. However, now Qi Biaojia is already a minister of Zhu Lunkui, so he naturally has to be a taboo for his respected person, so he attributed the cause of Zhu Changqing's death to a shipwreck.

Zhu Lunkui from Nanjing breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news. He was too afraid that Zhu Changqing would arrive in Nanjing. Zhu Changqing's bloodline was closer than him. What if he was used by someone who was interested in the future? So death was the most perfect ending.

Although Zhu Changqing was dead, he had to do what he should do. Zhu Lunkui immediately issued an edict to guilty himself, saying that he was sorry to Lu King Zhu Changqing. He originally wanted to take Lu King to Nanjing to enjoy his happiness, but he did not expect that Zhu Changqing would die halfway through the journey. In the end, in order to cover up his eyes, Zhu Lunkui also executed the deputy general in charge of escorting him to compensate Zhu Changqing.

Just when Zhu Lunkui gave the posthumous title to King Lu, Huang Daozhou and others were safely sent to Nanjing. Zhu Lunkui was completely different from these people. He went to the dock to greet him in person, but also ordered Huang Daozhou to live in a temple outside the city.

Everyone naturally saw this in their hearts and understood what the emperor meant. Under Qian Qianyi's leadership, the Lin Party of the Middle East wrote a letter to the emperor and wanted to use Huang Daozhou and others. Naturally, Ma Shiying's party did not do it, so they wrote letters to oppose it. They finally drove Huang Daozhou away back then, but now they are back. How can this be done?

However, in the past few months, Emperor Zhu Lunkui has cultivated a large number of officials loyal to him. With the help of these officials, Huang Daozhou was re-activated as

The Minister of Rites, three days later, the emperor issued an order to order Huang Daozhou to enter the cabinet.

Entering the cabinet is a big deal. There are now three people in the cabinet, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi. If they join another person, they will definitely divide the rights of Ma Ruan. At this time, Ruan Dacheng knew that something was wrong and immediately joined forces with Ma Shiying to oppose Huang Daozhou's entry into the cabinet.

However, the opposition between the two of them was not a result. Emperor Zhu Lunkui issued a central order to bypass the cabinet and directly let Huang Daozhou enter the cabinet. At this time, Huang Daozhou wanted no fame and integrity to deal with his mortal enemy Ruan Dacheng. Regardless of criticism from the court and the opposition, he immediately took over the emperor's central order to take office.

Huang Daozhou is worthy of being the vanguard of the anti-eunuch party. The first thing he did when he took office was to write a letter to impeach Ruan Dacheng's iron-killer. Tian Yang, Minister of War, said that Tian Yang did not resist when the Qing army occupied Yangzhou, but instead took his men back to Nanjing.

Now Ruan Dacheng has become the target of public criticism, and the first thing Huang Daozhou did to deal with him was to deal with him. Seeing that Ruan Dacheng was going to be unlucky, Ma Shiying immediately took the blame and sent shit in the snow, impeaching Ruan Dacheng another iron-killed man, Zhang Youyu, Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works. In this way, under the joint attack of the Donglin Party and Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng lost the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, and became a bare-legged elder.

Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party won a great victory in this party struggle. The Minister of War was given the corrupt official Zhu Dadian who had just surrendered, and the Minister of Works was given the throne of Ma Cheng's cheap master, Song Yingxing.

After Ruan Dacheng lost power, he took leave and hid at home to recuperate. The next step was the battle between the Donglin Party and Ma Shiying.

The first step is the candidate for the governor of Zhejiang. After receiving Ma Cheng's recommendation letter, Ma Shiying also praised the wise and did not avoid relatives, and recommended his brother-in-law Yue Qijie. However, Luo Wanxiang was a clerk in the first year of Hongguang, and his qualifications were a little worse than Yue Qijie. However, there was no suitable candidate in the Donglin Party. In recent years, due to Ma Shiying's unlimited efforts, the senior officials of the Donglin Party were all removed from office and returned home. Now there are only a few senior officials left in Nanjing, so they had no choice but to choose from the intermediate officials.

The position of governor was finally granted Yue Qijie. It was not that Ma Shiying had a strong power, but that Emperor Zhu Lunkui considered Yue Qijie to be imprisoned for him for two years in Hangzhou. This was an amazing political capital. Being trapped in the enemy camp could protect him. This was a typical example that Zhu Lunkui wanted to establish, so he finally chose Yue Qijie as the extremely important governor of Zhejiang.

By the time Yue Qijie's appointment was passed to Hangzhou, Ma Cheng had already led the army and the Lu King in Hangzhou had been resolved, but there was another vassal king in Ningbo, that is, Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu who was promoted to the supervisory state under the support of Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule and other officials in eastern Zhejiang.

Zhu Yihai is the least threatening Zhu Lunkui around Nanjing. Zhu Yihai's bloodline is similar to Zhu Lunkui. The first King of Zhou Zhu Xu was the fifth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the first King of Lu Zhu Tan was the tenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although his bloodlines were very far away, King of Zhou Zhu Xu was the younger brother of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di. He was born with a mother, so naturally his relationship was closer than King of Lu, so compared to Zhu Changqing, Zhu Yihai's threat to Zhu Lunkui was much smaller.
