After all, he was his own son, and at this critical moment, Empress Zhou finally gave Zhu Ciyang a deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, asking Zhu Ciyang to watch the matter himself.

However, after Zhu Cilang left, Empress Zhou became a little worried about gains and losses.

This hole is obviously not very good, nor is it a good sign.

Even if it is a real son, many of them are difficult to express.

Although there has never been a case of "killing the mother" in the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is still not difficult to make any moves.

Especially in the future, Zhu Cilang wanted to find a support, but it was very easy to find. The cabinet was his natural alliance.

"call."

After thinking for a while, Empress Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and decided to believe her son. After all, all she did was for him and for his throne.

Just as I was about to see Xiao Nannan, a purple-robed eunuch rushed over and said hurriedly: "Empress Dowager, Haicheng's emergency military situation is the personal commander of the Marquis of Haicheng, General Wang Xi, who was personally sent by him..."

"Um?"

Queen Zhou was clever: "Hurry, invite people in!"

"yes."

Soon, Wang Xi, who was exhausted, quickly walked into the door and saluted respectfully: "Wang Xi, I have met the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Feng Tie Jin'an."

Wang Xilai's journey was obviously not going well, and there were still many blood stains on his body that had just dried up, and there were several bandaged wounds. Even if they were hidden under his clothes, they could still see the clues.

"General Wang is exempted from gifts. How is the situation in Haicheng now?"

Queen Zhou hurriedly asked the eunuch next to him to help Wang Xi up, gave him a seat, and asked urgently.

Wang Xi immediately described the situation in Haicheng, took out Xu Changqing's handwritten letter, and raised his hands respectfully over his head: "Empress Dowager, this is the handwritten letter of the Marquis."

The palace maid hurriedly took the letter, carefully checked it, and handed it to Queen Zhou respectfully.

Queen Zhou opened it and checked it carefully. Soon after, her eyebrows became tightly furrowed.

She had already expected that the situation was very critical, but she did not expect that the situation would be so critical. Even Xu Changqing was very cautious and told her several times.

In the letter, Xu Changqing not only told her to pay attention to Nanjing's defense, especially along the river, but also specifically told her to pay attention to the status of the Nanjing nobles and the detailed works of the Qing army in the city, including military forces that might be bribed by the Qing army.

Among them, especially the Nanjing nobles, Xu Changqing had a red line, which was obviously the top priority!

This is not Xu Changqing's personal revenge and deliberately criticizes the Nanjing nobles, but the need to deal with the pig teammates!

Even these pig teammates will only be even more serious and worse than Xu Changqing thought.

For the Nanjing nobles, the situation at this time may be just Xu Changqing's situation, which is to deal with them. In addition, the city of Nanjing is high and thick, and most of the defenders are their people. So what if the Tartars come? Could it be that they flew into the city?

It should be noted that there are countless people in this world who do not give up until they see the Yellow River and do not cry until they see the coffin.

The people in the south have no experience in facing the Tartars and have been living a pampered life for many years. I am afraid that they all fantasize about being their ancestors.

I seem to trust Queen Xu Changqing and Zhou.

Her political wisdom and vision were no longer comparable to those when she was in the capital before. She understood very well that without Xu Changqing, there would be no situation in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Even though Xu Changqing was a tiger, he was a tiger on their side, and the Nanjing nobles were hungry wolves who could take their mother and son's lives.

After all, Zhu Cilang's throne has not been truly stable yet, and it is not impossible to "change a new heaven".

I talked with Wang Xi again and basically understood the matter thoroughly. Then Queen Zhou asked Wang Xi to arrange for him to go down and rest first, and directly attracted Zheng Yingchun and quickly carried out Xu Changqing's arrangement.

...

With Empress Zhou and Zhu Cilang personally taking charge, the Jinyiwei took two forces to work together, and soon

A tide was set off in Nanjing City, gradually silencing a lot of public opinion in the city.

Although since the middle and late Chongzhen period, because the court had no money, Emperor Chongzhen did not attach much importance to the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei was once weak and transparent, but the three hundred years of pressure was like the sword of Damolis hanging on the heads of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to be unable to get along with the old men of the Jinyiwei.

The imperial prison of the Jinyiwei is synonymous with hell.

As the investigation deepened, the finger quickly pointed at Hou Fangyu!

The main reason is that Mr. Hou was too abrupt. Many people confirmed that the sentence "Xu Changqing was powerful and powerful" was the first time he said it in a vassal building.

At the end of the evening, the news came back to the imperial city, and Empress Zhou quickly reached an agreement with Zhu Cixuan and ordered the Jinyiwei to take the people!

Soon, the quiet marquis' mansion was surrounded by a group of Jinyiwei, which looked like a wolf and a tiger, and hundreds of people rushed in directly.

But at this time, Hou Fangyu had already learned about the signs through the "special channel" and even the specific actions of the Jinyiwei. He said to Hou Xun righteously: "Father, don't worry, you are not afraid of the shadow slanting. I will go to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei!"

Hou Xun was already crying at this time: "My masters, you guys, you can't punish the literati. For the sake of this little thing about the old minister, please show mercy and mercy..."

"take away!"

Although these Jinyiwei in Nanjing were first established, they were built on the old Jinyiwei here as the team. Their work may not be good, but they are full of majesty.

He ignored Hou Xun's plea and took Hou Fangyu away directly.

Hou Fangyu was still very nervous and his legs were trembling. Even though the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei was far from the capital at that time, it was a bad reputation. He was really afraid that the Jinyiwei would torture him.

Once he is punished, God knows how could he withstand such a small body?

"Young Master Hou, please come here!"

Just as Hou Fangyu was nervous and as if he was above Naihe Bridge, he suddenly encountered a familiar face, which was the "ordinary man" who gave him the silver notes at noon this day!

This ordinary person turned out to be a Qianzheng, and he was obviously a real Qianzheng!

This made Hou Fangyu suddenly have a backbone, and he quickly forced himself to be righteous and even sang a song to boost his momentum.

...

Not long after Hou Fangyu was arrested, the news was that it was passed back to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Duke Xu Hongji of Wei has been in a bad mood these days and hasn't slept much. He has relied on a mouthful of smoke and a woman to hang it. His already dry body is even more dry and thin. He can play a mummy without makeup, almost as if he is about to go.

It was Dan Fatty who came to report the news.

He carefully reported the matter to Xu Hongji in detail and said in horror: "Mr. Master, I heard that the Empress Dowager received Xu Changqing's handwritten letter, which made the Jinyiwei move. If Hou Fangyu can't hold on, we will give us..."

"waste!"

"Did you leave any evidence to Hou Fangyu?"

After all, Xu Hongji is a big boss. Even though his health is not good, he is still full of momentum. His eyes are full of fierce and ferocious questions.

"There is no direct evidence for this. The young man only communicated with Hou Fangyu verbally. However, Mr. Xu Changqing has always been very wary of us, and he is afraid that even if there is no evidence at that time, we will fall into our crotch. It's either shit or shit..."

It's hard for a fat man to have a hard time.

He is Xu Hongji's confidant. He knows too many things, too many dirty and slutty jobs, and he basically deals with them by himself. Although he is afraid of Xu Hongji, he dares to speak.

"I'm so panicked!"

"Is the sky falling? I'll take it with you if the sky collapses!"

Xu Hongji sneered indifferently, "You should first stare at this matter, don't be rash, it is limited to the morning hours. If Hou Fangyu is released before morning hours, things will be like this. If he is not released, let the scholars make trouble!"

"this……"

Fatty Dan was stunned for a moment: "Marty, this, this is one night after all, this night..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Just do that!"

"yes……"

...

The newly established Jinyiwei Zhaozhu is near Fugui Mountain in the north of the imperial city.

Hou Fangyu had already sorted out his thoughts by a carriage all the way, but when he actually entered the deep and cold dungeon, Hou Fangyu was still trembling.

Even though the Jinyiwei had not performed well at this time, there were still many people locked up in the dungeon. When they saw someone coming in, there was a miserable cry for help.

This made Hou Fangyu feel even worse. This is a damn place, this is not a place for people to stay...

Fortunately, the general surnamed Du, accompanied him all the way, gave Hou Fangyu a lot of confidence.

He came to the inner prison all the way and was about to go to the torture rack. Even with Mr. Du Qian's protection, Hou Fangyu's legs were still weak and he almost urinated, and his intestines were regretful.

Only then did he realize that heroes are not that easy to be?

Even if this surnamed Du is protected, I am afraid that if I don’t die tonight, I will have to peel off my skin.

When Du Qian saw Hou Fangyu's appearance, he couldn't help but scold him.

I thought Hou Fangyu was a real man, but who would have thought that this guy was just a waste, and he was not as good as a woman!

But at this time the master had chosen him, and he could not change it. He could only take a gap and said to him: "Mr. Hou, don't panic, I will try my best not to let them punish you. You must also show your power and don't weaken your aura."

Hou Fangyu nodded subconsciously, but how could he have any aura at this time?

"Clang clang!"

As he was fixed on the torture rack like a livestock, his whole body was gone, as if he was about to be cracked by a car, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but pee, and gritted his teeth desperately to keep his face.

At this time, a hustle and bustle from outside quickly came, and several big men from the Jinyiwei arrived.
To be continued...
