: Force them to step on the wall

"Who?" Wang Pu said in a lost voice, "Princess?"

Lu Liu nodded with a serious expression and said, "It seems to be quite anxious."

Wang Pu frowned and said, "Where is she?"

Lu Liudao: "It's in the side hall of the front yard. She said she wanted to see the Marquis and didn't want to disturb others."

"Let's go." Wang Pu said, "Look and go."

Jingnan Hou Mansion, side hall of the front yard.

Princess Changping Zhu Weiru was crying silently, and her ears were heard from time to time, the eunuch Zhang Zian, the eunuch in charge of the Sili, said to her not long ago: "Her Long Sui was bewitched by Gao Hongtu and his gang, and wanted to get rid of Sun Ge Lao and the Prince Consort. Sun Ge Lao is a kind person. Fortunately, the Prince Consort is a cruel character who kills people without blinking. Gao Hongtu and Wansui are not his opponents. In the end, they can only harm themselves. Princess, you must try to prevent the tragedy from happening."

Princess Changping was shocked and said, "Eunuch Zhang, are you saying the truth?"

Zhang Zi'an said with a serious expression: "Gao Hongtu has been arranged."

"What should I do?" Princess Changping said anxiously, "What should I do?"

Zhang Zi'an said: "Your Highness, now you are the only one who can save Master Long Live! Otherwise, let Gao Hongtu and Master Long Live will continue to make mistakes, and in the end, they will definitely anger the prince-consort. Although Gao Hongtu's group of people cannot escape death, maybe Master Long Live may be deposed by Master Long Live..."

"Deposed?" Princess Changping was startled and murmured, "Deposed? Is this possible?"

"What's impossible?" Zhang Zi'an said, "I have seen it long ago. The prince-consort has already been wary of the prince-consort. The prince-consort is too impatient. He is not as good as the prince-consort. It is impossible to succeed. Gao Hongtu, an old boy, is very obedient and low-key, only knows how to fight against the common people and talk about war on paper. He is far inferior to the prince-consort and the prince-consort. I am really worried. If the matter is exposed, the prince-consort may really depose the prince-consort and establish the king of Yong or the prince-determined as the emperor in anger."

"Father-in-law." Princess Changping said anxiously, "You said, what should I do to help Master Long live to escape this disaster?"

"Oh." Zhang Zi'an sighed and said sadly, "If you want to help Master Long escape this disaster, your princess has to ask the princess to beg for the princess. Now you are the only one to ask for the princess. Maybe you can still let the princess go and save Master Long's throne."

Princess Changping was shocked when she heard this and said silly: "You mean... let me ask him to ask him?"

Zhang Zian said again: "Your Highness Princess, don't look at Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo have already entered the pavilion, but they are like Monkey King Sun. No matter how hard they jump, they can't jump out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha. How can the power of Master Sun and the Prince Consort are so easy to shake? You can't tell Master Wansui these words. Master Wansui is in a good mood now. Anyone who pours cold water on him will definitely be bored. There is no way. Your Princess, you can only come forward to beg for the Prince Consort."

Princess Changping thought of her dignified princess, but she wanted to whisper to ask Wang Pu. She couldn't help but feel sad and she burst into tears.

Zhang Zi'an said again: "Your Highness, Princess Sun Ge Lao and the Prince Consort are now in power. They not only control the entire Shilin class in Jiangnan, but also control the 100,000 most elite Central Army. Only idiots like Gao Hongtu would naively think that as long as they control the cabinet, they could control the government. Who knows that the cabinet is simply a puppet in the Prince Consort's hands."

...

When Wang Pu took Lu Liu into the side hall of the front yard, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the screen. The man was wearing a thick black cloak and a hood on his head. When he heard the footsteps, the beautiful figure slowly turned around. Wang Pu's eyes met him and couldn't help but be stunned. This man was indeed Princess Changping Zhu Weiru, and his beautiful eyes were red, and he clearly had just cried.

Wang Pu waved his hand, and Lu Liu quietly retreated and brought the door with him.

Wang Pu calmed down and was hesitating whether to bow to the ceremony, Princess Changping suddenly bent her knees towards him, which scared Wang Pu. He quickly stepped forward and helped Princess Changping up and ate and said, "Princess, what are you doing? How can I kneel down as a minister in the imperial family?"

Princess Changping gently broke free from Wang Pu's support, insisted on kneeling on the ground, and cried, "Husband, Ru'er has something to ask for."

"Oh, princess, get up quickly and talk." Wang Pu said anxiously, "If the censors see this, I should be in trouble."

Princess Changping said, "If your husband doesn't agree, Ru'er won't get up."

Wang Pu rubbed his hands in a hurry and said with a bitter face: "But I have to know what's going on, right?"

Princess Changping raised her pear blossom-like face and cried, "Husband, no matter what mistakes Emperor Longsheng made, he is the eldest son of the late emperor and the most orthodox royal bloodline of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he is still young now, and the age that is most susceptible to being bewitched. Please do not depose or establish him no matter what, okay?"

"Defeat?" Wang Pu said in surprise, "Princess, what are you talking about?"

Princess Changping said sadly: "As long as you agree, Ru'er will tell you everything."

"Uh..." Wang Pu pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Okay, I promise you that you will not abandon your position no matter what."

Princess Changping was willing to get up and told Wang Pu what Zhang Zi'an told her in the original form. Wang Pu was stunned when he heard it. He really didn't expect Gao Hongtu to collude with Jiannu to deal with him, and he didn't expect that the entire plan that Gao Hongtu came up with would be so mentally retarded, and it was full of flaws.

After listening to Princess Changping’s retelling, Wang Pu shouted: “Lu Liu!”

Lu Liu came in and said loudly: "Here."

Wang Pu said: "Go and get the cart immediately and send His Highness the Princess back to the palace."

"Yes." Lu Liu responded and said to Princess Changping, "Please ask your princess."

Watching Princess Changping's figure go away, Wang Pu said again: "Come."

Another servant came in and responded, "What are the instructions of the marquis?"

Wang Pu said: "Let Xiaoqi come to the side hall to see me immediately."

"yes."

The servant agreed and was about to look for Xiaoqi when Xiaoqi came to him: "Mr. Marquis, Fei Ge passed on the letter!"

"Oh?" Wang Pu's heart moved and asked, "Where is Fei Ge delivering a letter?"

Xiao Qi said: "It's from Wuchang."

Wang Pu said: "Give it up."

Xiaoqi handed a small roll of paper in his hand to Wang Pu, and waved to the servant on the side. The servant exited the side hall in response. Wang Pu hurriedly read it, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, okay, great!"

After laughing, Wang Pu said to Xiaoqi again: "Xiaoqi, two things."

Xiao Qi snapped his legs together and replied with a loud bang: "Yes."

Wang Pu said: "First, condemn the fast horse to Yangzhou, and ask the Yangzhou prefect Wang Shi to set up a ward to suppress the peace agreement, and take Yang Tingjian and others back to Beijing! Second, inform Zhao Xin with a letter from Fei Ge, asking him to send the fast horse to escort the big traitor Fan Wencheng. To be quick, Fan Wencheng must be sent to Nanjing within five days!"

"yes."

Xiaoqi responded with a loud bang and took the order.

Wang Pu summoned the servant to the side hall and ordered: "Send someone to Mr. Qiange Lao, and Luge Lao's mansion immediately. Please ask the two masters to go to Mr. Sunge Lao's mansion immediately, and say there is something important to discuss!"

Half an hour later, Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi rushed to Sun's mansion.

Wang Pu and Sun Chuanting had already been in the study, and the four of them had already talked about etiquette. Wang Pu said: "Master Qian Ge and Master Lu Ge, there are a few latest situations to inform you. Gao Hongtu and others have given up collecting wages from the people of Zhejiang, but they have tempted their brains on the silk and cotton and linen farmers in Songjiang, Suzhou and Changzhou. They intend to charge them of inciting civil unrest and confiscate their property as officials."

"ah?"

"This is actually happening!?"

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi were shocked when they heard this, especially Qian Qianyi. His hometown is Changshu, Suzhou, with nearly 10,000 mulberry fields. He is a well-known silk household and the richest man in Changshu. Gao Hongtu took the silk and cotton and linen households in Songjiang, Suzhou and Changzhou to take action, and the Qian family naturally could not escape this disaster.

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't sit still anymore and said anxiously: "Marty, Master Sun Ge Lao, you must stop them."

Wang Pu waved his hand and signaled Qian Qianyi to remain calm. He continued: "There is even more shocking news. Gao Hongtu is preparing to collude with Jiannu from the north to deal with this hou, and has a complete plan, which is exactly like this..."

Wang Pu recounted Gao Hongtu’s overall plan to Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi again.

Qian Qianyi changed his sarcasm: "Gao Hongtu really dares to understand foreign countries?"

Lu Daqi said furiously: "Marty, Master Sun Ge Lao, my subordinates thought they could get people now!"

"No," Qian Qianyi also echoed, "The Marquis and Sun Ge Lao have endured for several days. Many officials in the court have turned to Gao Hongtu's party, and many villains in the Donglin party secretly surrendered to the enemy. The subordinates thought it was time to close the net! Otherwise, if Gao Hongtu and the others really messed up Songjiang, Suzhou, and Changzhou, it would be difficult to deal with it."

"Let them jump for a few more days and wait for them!" Wang Pu said with a grim voice, "As for Songjiang, Suzhou and Changzhou, as long as I, Wang Pu, are there, I will be in chaos! Tang Sheng will lead the two battalions of the Central Army tonight to block the various gates of Nanjing. All officials and officials in the capital, and without the orders of the Governor's Office, will not be allowed to leave the city!"

Qian Qianyi said sternly: "Does the Marquis want to force them to jump over the wall?"

"That's right!" Wang Pu said grimly, "If they don't force them to the dead, how could they take out all their assets?"

Lu Daqi said: "Marty, Yang Tingjian is an important witness to the peacekeeping mission, and people must be sent to arrest him immediately."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "The Yangzhou magistrate Wang Shicheng has already taken the man."

Jiangdu, Yangzhou Prefecture City.

When the Yangzhou magistrate Wang Shicheng received the urgent delivery from Wang Pu, Yang Tingjian's peace talks had just arrived in Yangzhou and was about to rest at the post station, planning to rush back tomorrow morning.

Yang Tingjian and the two deputy envoys had just dismounted, and a group of yamen runners rushed into the post station in a mess, surrounding Yang Tingjian, the two deputy envoys and more than a dozen followers. Yang Tingjian couldn't help but frown when he saw this. A deputy envoy stepped forward and scolded, "Who are you? What do you want to do? Do you know that this is the imperial envoy?"

"Sir, the Imperial Envoy?" Wang Shicheng, dressed in the fourth-rank official uniform, stepped forward with several aides, and said coldly, "What are the certificates?"

Yang Tingjian frowned and said, "Are you the prefect of Yangzhou Wang Shicheng?"

Wang Shicheng said coldly: "It's my official, are you Yang Tingjian, the envoy to discuss peace talks?"

Yang Tingjian said: "That's right."

"It's good." Wang Shicheng waved his hand and shouted, "Take it all!"

"yes!"

Dozens of yamen runners responded to the promise and rushed up like a tiger and wolf. In the blink of an eye, Yang Tingjian, the two deputy envoys and more than a dozen followers, pressed to the ground. Yang Tingjian struggled and shouted, "Wang Shicheng, you are crazy. I am the envoy of peace talks, Yang Tingjian..."

"You are the ones you take!" Wang Shicheng groaned and waved his hand, "Bind it, take it away!"

When the yamen runners were swearing and tied people with ropes, a follower suddenly jumped up from the ground and kicked over the two yamen runners beside him. Then they jumped into the air and slid into the cold canal with a loud bang. When the water surface calmed down, the follower who jumped into the river had already disappeared.

Nanjing, Taiping Gate.

The two teams of fully armed Central Army soldiers stood straight on both sides of the city gate like two rows of javelins. The city gate was full of traffic and pedestrians. Although the two teams of Central Army soldiers were holding rifles and wearing bright bayonets, they looked murderous, but the pedestrians entering and leaving were not afraid.

A few brave little wives even secretly glanced at the Yingting soldier, took a few steps and then looked back and took a look.

Thanks to Wang Pu's iron-fisted military management, coupled with the rich salary and generous welfare system, the image of the army in the minds of the people is undergoing a subtle change. At least in the eyes of Nanjing citizens, the Central Army is a disciplined army. Many small families with unmarried daughters in their families want to recruit a son-in-law of the Central Army.

If you really want to recruit a son-in-law from the Central Army, you will not only be ashamed of neighbors and fellow villagers, but your family's life will also be improved quickly. You must know that the Central Army recruits all have 50 taels of silver for a year, which is a lot of money, enough to buy 5,000 kilograms of rice or four and a half acres of good land!

Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, a toll ran his horse straight into the city gate. Seeing that he had no posture to slow down, he seemed to be rushing straight through the Central Army's checkpoint. Originally, the Central Army's checkpoint outside Taiping Gate did not even stop the passing people, and the six ministries' offices did not dare to stop the tolerances.

"stop!"

A Central Army officer suddenly stood in the center of the official road, raised his right hand high, and the white gloves he wore on his hand looked particularly eye-catching!

The officer was shocked and quickly tied the reins of the horse, shouting with a stern look: "What do you want to do? I am a court's tolerance, and a cabinet urgently deliver it to Changzhou!"

The officer was unmoved and said coldly with his right hand: "The order of the Governor's Office?"

"What kind of order?" the servant said in surprise, "What kind of order from the Governor's Office?"

"I'm sorry." The officer said coldly, "Without the Governor's Office's order, all officials and servants are not allowed to leave the city. Please go back!"

The officer said angrily: "Do you dare to block the court's tolerance? Do you want to rebel?"
Chapter completed!
