Tokugawa Hideki was loyal, but he didn't dare to disobey the will of the Ming Dynasty now.Therefore, he couldn't help but listen to the words of Chen Xinjia, the official stationed in the Ming Dynasty.Tokugawa Hidetada also asked Tokugawa Iemitsu to send a group of shogunate troops to detain Hong Chengchou and other reactionary gentry who remained in Edo.So, the elder Sakai Tadanobu rushed to Hong Chengchou and the other residence in Edo with a group of shogunate troops."
Please come out with Hong Laozhong and all the Fu Gong Wa Shogunate Shogunate Shogunate Shogunate Positions!
Your envoy is demanding your immediate detention, and I beg you to obey!
”However, Sakai Tadanobu was polite to Hong Chengchou and others.Because his younger brother Sakai Tadashi died at the hands of Ming officials, he was regarded as an anti-Ming faction in the shogunate, and naturally he was very respectful to Hong Chengchou and others, who were also anti-Ming.At this time, Sakai Tadanobu stood politely outside the mansion of Hong Chengchou and others and shouted.But after more than a quarter of an hour, no one came out of Hong Chengchou's mansion.Sakai Tadanobu had to break in with the shogunate army, only to find that the entire mansion was completely empty."
Search!"
Although Sakai Tadanobu wanted Hong Chengchou and the others to escape, he was also worried that Tokugawa Hidetada would blame him for letting Hong Chengchou and the others go, and let himself be guilty in order to give Ming Guo an explanation, so he immediately ordered a search.And it wasn't until Sakai Tadanobu saw the unlocked back door that he didn't let his people search for it anymore, and he was already sure that Hong Chengchou and the others had fled in advance.Hong Chengchou did flee overnight when he learned that the foreign affairs officer of the Ming Dynasty had come to Edo."
Ladies and gentlemen, you must believe that some of us are secretly communicating with the Imperial Court!
Otherwise, this Chen Xinjia would not have detained the shogunate as soon as he came to the Wa Kingdom, and even knew clearly about the iron materials we sacrificed to craftsmen, it was like growing a pair of eyes around us, and I had heard that Dongchang had many ears and eyes for a long time, and Hong was really eye-opening today!
”Hong Chengchou glanced at Ding Qirui, Ye Chuchun, Ye Chengmin and others as he spoke, as if he wanted to see some clues from the eyes of these gentry.Ding Qirui, Ye Chuchun, Ye Chengmin and others were all stunned, and they all looked at each other.For a while, Hong Chengchou couldn't see any clues.Therefore, Hong Chengchou continued: "Of course, Hong has already expected that this time he came to the shogunate to see Tokugawa Hidetada, and he might leak the news, but why Hong still did this is because Hong wants to try, to see if any of us are secretly communicating with the imperial court!"
”Hong Chengchou said that he stared directly at Ye Chuchun and Ding Qirui, the two court criminals who finally escaped from the mainland, stared intently, and said: "Before Yang Gong had an accident, Hong reminded him that everything should be cautious, he didn't care, he thought that the court would not work this kind of thing, but the march to fight the war first lies in the news of the enemy, Hong is not a great wisdom, but Hong knows that everything lies in the word prudence, Nagasaki, the incident happened only half a month, and the court sailor arrived in Nagasaki, even if the new soft sailing ship of the court is as fast as a sharp arrow, It's not going to be half a month, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court learned the news in advance and mobilized the troops in advance, it would never be so fast!
”"Is this the case?"
Ding Qirui asked first, and glanced at Ye Chuchun in amazement.Ye Chuchun's heart was beating like numbness, and he wanted to avoid Hong Chengchou's eyes, but he still raised his eyes and bumped into them, but he didn't speak at first, first, he didn't know how to say it to hide himself, and second, he felt that it was best not to speak at this time, otherwise the more words he had, the more flaws he would have.Ye Chuchun pretended to think about it, touched his chin, and scanned all the gentry present, as if he was thinking about who was undercover.Hong Chengchou looked at Ye Chuchun and Ding Qirui's demeanor, and became uncertain for a while, he didn't know if Ding Qirui was pretending to be surprised, and he didn't know if Ye Chuchun was pretending to be calm."
Maybe an official from the shogunate betrayed the news!"
Ye Chengmin suddenly said at this time.Hong Chengchou looked at Ding Qirui and Ye Chuchun again.Ye Chuchun wanted to echo for a while, saying that it might be that the officials of the shogunate informed the people of the imperial court in advance of what they heard when Tokugawa Hidetada saw his people.But Ye Chuchun held back at the last moment, he knew that he couldn't rush along at this time, otherwise he would be seen by the guy named Hong Chengchou in front of him.However, when Ding Qirui was about to speak, Ye Chuchun immediately said before Ding Qirui spoke: "Now we need to find out if there are eyes and ears of the imperial court among us!"
”"That's right!
That's what I mean!
”Ding Qirui glanced at Ye Chuchun unexpectedly, he didn't expect Ye Chuchun to have the same opinion as him.Hong Chengchou began to focus more on Ding Qirui.And Ye Chuchun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said in his heart: "This surname Hong is really fucking amazing!"
”"The traitor Ding Qirui actually wrote a secret letter to the courtiers, why, did he really think that the ministers of the court and the central government also wanted to kill the king like him?"
Jingshi Damingyuan, Qinzheng Palace.Zhu Youxiao received a secret letter from Jiang Dejing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, a secret letter written by Ding Qirui."
The minister didn't expect him to send a letter to the minister, but the minister did just have a friendship with him, and had no other relationship, please let Your Majesty know!"
Jiang Dejing replied.Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I know that if you take the initiative to hand in the letter of the traitor, you can know your loyalty, and you can continue to contact him, but you need to tell me the content of the contact, I want to know what they want to do." ”"Obey the order!"
And because of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and think deeply, and said in his heart: "Will these people still have contact with other ministers?"
”"Spread the word that Wei Zhongxian came to see me."
So, Zhu Youxiao called Wei Zhongxian and asked, "What secret letters have other officials in the DPRK received?"
”Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Dongchang has not yet found out, but according to the report of the Dongchang eyeliner, Hong Chengchou, a gentry who has been active overseas recently, took the initiative to suggest that other reactionary gentry contact the ministers of the DPRK and China!"
And Hong Chengchou also personally wrote a secret letter to Da Sima. ”Yuan Keli?
Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought."
I know!"
Zhu Youxiao then only replied with such a sentence, and said: "This matter is here, this Hong Chengchou, can Dongchang find a way to get rid of him, you Wei Zhongxian really can't clean him up." ”Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said in fear: "The slave is incompetent!
Please punish the emperor!
”"Stand down, it doesn't have to be this way."
Zhu Youxiao only said this.Wei Zhongxian wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and hurriedly came to the East Factory, called Sun Yunhe, who was transferred back to the East Factory to be in charge of overseas reactionary affairs, and shouted: "Someone brought a secret message to Ye Chuchun!"
Hong Chengchou can't stay any longer, if he can't let Hong Chengchou come to our family to play with our family once within a month, then he will personally kill Hong Chengchou at the cost of exposing himself, and our family will ask the court for him to reward and posthumously present the official title, and will also regard his family as our own family, but if he doesn't finish it, then our family will kill his whole family before being punished by the emperor!
”Ye Chuchun didn't know that Wei Zhongxian had put pressure on him because of the great pressure from the emperor, and he was now instigating Ye Chengmin: "Son!
We went to sea to oppose the court because of the death of our teacher, I don't know if the son still remembers the death of his teacher, he had an accident after climbing the mountain with his fellow traitor Li Zhizao!
And Li Zhizao has been added to the rank since then. ”"What do you mean?"
Ye Chengmin somewhat understood what Ye Chuchun meant, and hurriedly asked.Seeing this, Ye Chuchun hurriedly said: "I mean, Hong Chengchou may also be a person like Li Zhizao!"
He wrote to Yuan Keli, although he let us know, but maybe he did it on purpose, so that we would not be suspicious, and also offered to suggest that there were eyes and ears of the court among us, so that he could kick himself out. ”"Makes sense!
This surnamed Hong is also bad enough!
”Ye Chengmin nodded.
