Penghu.

Under the coconut grove.

"The old minister bows to your Majesty."

Former Nanjing Minister of Rites Lin Shizhang knelt down in front of His Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor has lived here for three months at this time.

Although he was imprisoned here, he was the emperor of the current dynasty, and Yu Zigao and others dared not neglect it, so they set up the original inspection office to serve him and even made several maids to serve him.

These days I was just tanned a lot, but I was still in good spirits.

After all, he was only less than forty.

In the past, he was either intrigue or in exile all year round, and his mental state was inevitably worse. But now he doesn't care about the world for three months. He blew the sea breeze, fished, and ate all kinds of seafood every day, but instead he was full of energy and looked like a second spring. The key is that he had a stable mentality. He knew that Yang Feng was suppressing the north, and the nobles of the Guangzhou court did not dare to do anything to him after all. This kind of imprisonment is not worth mentioning. His Majesty the Emperor had never seen any storms in recent years?

Three months?

He has been dormant in Yang Feng's hands for so many years, and these three months are nothing to him!

"You are not dead yet!"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the rattan chair, said bluntly.

"Well, the old minister is indeed silly."

Lin Shizhang said.

"Then you are waiting at home to enter the coffin. Are you not afraid of burial waves when you come here?"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

"Uh, Your Majesty, the old minister is nearly 80 years old, so he came here to take the risk of burying the waves, just for the Ming Dynasty..."

Lin Shizhang lay there and howled.

"Shut up, do you want to beg for mercy?"

Wanli shouted.

Among the gentry of Zhangzhou and even Fujian, Lin Shizhang can be described as an old man.

This 76-year-old old guy is Tanhua in the 38th year of Jiajing. He has always been pretending to be a hermit before, not involved in anything outside, not in the court or in the village sage meeting.

In fact, the real old men behind Fujian and Guangdong did this at this time.

They decorated hermits at home, clan control councils and village geniuses, and those who went to the court were juniors. They would not be officials like this. Everyone understands the nature of the Guangzhou court. They have been high-ranking officials of the Nine Ministers for decades, so how could they care about that little official position? They are all hidden behind the scenes and leave the things outside to the juniors. They should write books when they live in seclusion, and recite the Buddha's name. Only when they really reach the most critical moment will they come out to take charge of the overall situation.

And send him here...

Then something happened, and Li Tingji and others couldn't hold on.

With His Majesty's mind, you can see that this is coming to beg for mercy from him.

"Your Majesty, they are all obsessed with ghosts and are bewitched by the heresy of the barbarians in Taixi. However, their original intention is to survive the Ming Dynasty, so they have done this rebellious act. Now they have repented. Li Tingji feels that he has no face to deal with Your Majesty and has committed suicide by hanging himself.

The old minister begs Your Majesty to reconcile his country and forgive his crime of great rebellion, and use this example to pardon the ministers whom he is confused about. In this way, Fujian and Guangdong can be safe, and Your Majesty can also return to the palace.

As for the past, all the past are the past, and the monarch and ministers will change from then on."

Lin Shizhang said crying.

Well, he's here to beg for mercy.

The problem now is no longer a matter of reform, but how can the emperor not confiscate his family and destroy his family.

The gentry of Fujian are very smart. If the gentry of Guangdong refuses to fight for this, they will be even more reluctant.

What's more, it's meaningless for them to fight. After all, Fujian is isolated in the southeast, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are already Yang Feng's territory. Guangdong was originally an alliance with them, but now Guangdong gentry stabbed him back, and they no longer have alliances, so they are alone to resist the enemy!

They are very powerful at sea.

But that's useless!

The ships in the sea can't drive on land!

But even if they let the emperor go, the emperor will not let them go.

So the most important thing is to take advantage of the fact that the emperor does not know the specific situation, and Fu Zonglong's Yingzheng army did not come, so he coaxed the Emperor to come to an amnesty first. In fact, they didn't care about Fu Zonglong's Yingzheng army, and even those mobs could not defeat Yu Zigao's fleet. So now we should take a step back. The emperor should not pursue their previous behavior. They would not imprison the emperor. In the future, the monarch and ministers should continue to do whatever they want. It is impossible for the monarch and ministers to fight against each other and Yang Feng, right?

Although His Majesty the Emperor is indeed likely to turn against each other after returning, he doesn't have to consider that at this time.

Besides, they didn't think the emperor would do this. After all, he had to rely on Fujian gentry to fight against Yang Feng. After all, everyone still had a common enemy.

Anyway, beg for mercy first.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly burst into laughter.

Lin Shizhang raised his head in shock and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in front of him.

Then His Majesty the Emperor suddenly stood up, kicked him over without hesitation, and then stepped on his face.

Old man Lin was caught off guard and screamed that he was stepping into the sand, and then blood came out of his mouth. However, His Majesty the Emperor was inconvenient in his legs and feet, and he almost fell down. The imperial concubine next to him quickly helped His Majesty the Emperor.

"Long live your life, please calm down!"

She said.

Then, with her support, His Majesty the Emperor continued to step on Lin Shizhang with her feet.

"I want me to pardon you? It's just a daydream. Even if I die of old age in Penghu for this life, I will never pardon you guys. If you have the ability, you will imprison me here for the rest of your life. Whenever I go back, I will search your house and destroy your family. I dare to negotiate with me. I will give you the opportunity to be loyal ministers. You don't want to be a rebel. Since you have become a rebel, don't think about being a loyal minister anymore.

Do you want me to forgive you?

Pooh!

Do you have this qualification?

Don’t think that I can let you deceive me in the past. Li Tingji suddenly realized that he had committed suicide by hanging himself?

Did you get hung up by someone else?

Is the news that I was imprisoned by you in Penghu leaked?

The people in Guangzhou have risen?

You are desperate, afraid that the people will be hung up by the tree branches, and you don’t want me to search your house. You want to come over and coax me to pardon you, right?"

He stomped while stomping.

Lin Shizhang was trampled by him and was left with wailing.

My face was also scratched by sand, my mouth and nose were trampled to death, and even a sand pit was stepped on under my face. The blood and sand mixed together and stuck to my face looked miserable.

Although he actually brought some entourages with him, the problem was that this kind of interview would definitely not be brought with him. Those entourages were more than a hundred meters away. When they saw him being beaten by the emperor, they could only run here quickly. Although this distance was not far, they had to run on the soft beach for a while, so no one stopped His Majesty the Emperor from committing violence. His Majesty, who turned into a berserker, stepped on his former Minister of Rites.

Then the Emperor, who was so excited, picked up his rattan chair and swung it up with a very savage style...

"You dare to rely on your seniority, old minister, I'm a thief, if you don't die, you're a thief!"

He scolded.

Then he patted Lin Shizhang on the back.

Old Man Lin is old after all, and after being beaten by him, he was already dying. Then, when he came to do this, he was left with half a breath.

At this time, the followers also arrived, one of whom was obviously a junior of his clan, and tried to push the emperor away with anger.

"What, I still want to kill the regency, aren't you afraid that Yang Feng will destroy your entire family?"

His Majesty the Emperor shouted.

The latter stopped instantly and stood there awkwardly.

His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly and suddenly swung the rattan chair again. The man was so scared that he quickly turned around and walked away with the dying Lin Shizhang. Then His Majesty the Emperor slapped his back with the sound of wind. He almost lay down, but he still held it. He hurriedly left with Lin Shizhang behind. His Majesty the Emperor swung the rattan chair over, but because they ran too fast, they didn't hit him...

"This tyrant!"

On the warship transporting Lin Shizhang, Liu Tinghui, the Minister of Personnel, looked at the scene and said angrily.

He was not in Guangzhou, but in Zhangzhou, so he escaped the Guangzhou Incident. After Li Tingji's death, he became the core of this small gang.

Because time was too late to go to Fuzhou to summon the elders, he invited Lin Shizhang to come and see if he could persuade the emperor. In their opinion, this was good to both sides. The emperor would still have to protect Fujian and Guangdong to fight against Yang Feng. Since they had already surrendered, the emperor would just do anything. In the future, both sides would continue to maintain their territory like in the past, but they did not expect that the emperor was so impulsive and irrational, but in this case, they would be in trouble.

I have to say that people nowadays are very impetuous and not rational at all.

All are like this!

A king is not a monarch, a minister is not a minister, an official is not an official, and a people are not a civilian.

Liu Shangshu, who was the three Jinshi of his brothers, now really missed the good era of the past when the king, the ministers and the simple customs of the people.

“What should I do now?”

Yu Zigao beside him said.

"what to do?

Since he doesn't want to reconcile with us, there is no need for us to find him.

The left and right sides have to divide the land, and he also has to search the house and destroy the family. Let's go and find the other side.
To be continued...
