Chapter 1024 You say you don't know, I believe it!
Just like the court officials who were under house arrest for one day and one night, they were finally able to return home.
Thanks to Zhu Ma's "decree" and also to their no longer oppose Wu Zheng's advice, Wu Zheng was able to adapt and allowed officials to go home, but they were not allowed to leave the capital, which was equivalent to surveillance.
Too rampant!
Too domineering!
Today’s Cao A-man!
The officials left in groups of three or five, and these words were heard endlessly.
Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In their hearts, they actually thought that Wu Zheng's move was indeed a bit too much. These officials were the pillars of the Yixing Dynasty. Wouldn't Wu Zheng offend all civil and military officials and cut himself off from the court?
....
Wu Zheng left the palace and headed straight to Xia Wanchun's mansion.
I originally wanted to wait until Xia Wanchun recovered and then ask about it, but now Wu Zheng is out of patience.
Xia Wanchun and his wife obviously did not expect that Wu Zheng would come to the door again a day later.
But the good news of recovering the Great Victory Pass has been obtained.
"Congratulations to the prince for his victory in the flag and to show his power in our country!" Xia Wanchun bowed his hand on the couch and said solemnly.
This is really from Xia Wanchun's heart, not a compliment.
With less than 20,000 people in one day, it is indeed worth congratulations to recover the strong pass with more than 20,000 Qing troops stationed.
However, Wu Zheng was not very interested, so he just nodded with a smile, and then said to Qian Qinzhuan: "I haven't eaten a grain of rice from last night to now, for seven or eight hours. I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed on my back... I'm sorry to ask my brother and sister to cook a bowl of noodles for me, okay?"
Qian Qinzhuan was very smart. After she was stunned, she quickly realized that Wu Zheng had something to talk to Xia Wanchun, otherwise, even if the prince of the dynasty was really hungry, he would not have asked for food.
When Qian Qinzhuan smiled and left, Xia Wanchun also realized that Wu Zheng was coming in a hurry at this time, and there must be something big to tell him.
"Wu Zheng, is it a difficult situation?"
Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Wanchun's eyes and said, "I originally wanted to wait for you to get better, and then talk about this, but I felt that it was inappropriate in my heart. The more I delayed the matter, the more serious the consequences, and I must be corrected quickly."
Xia Wanchun's face became serious, and he straightened his body, "What do you think?"
"Last time I met you, I specifically mentioned the scale of Mingshe, reminding you that you would rather be short than excessive. You need to clean up Mingshe members, right?"
"Yes, this is the case." Xia Wanchun nodded and responded.
"But this time I came to Beijing, I learned that Mingshe not only did not restrain himself, but was even more unscrupulous. Even ordinary peddlers and pawns came... Do you know this?"
Xia Wanchun's face changed and said, "So you are talking about this matter... Speaking of which, I was negligent. After you said it last time, I did explain to temporarily stop expanding the number of Ming Society. It was just that because the war began, I led Jianyang Guard to help. I was negligent for a while and did not inspect it myself... This matter is indeed blamed by me, please punish the prince."
Wu Zheng frowned. He was most afraid that Xia Wanchun was involved in this matter. However, since Xia Wanchun admitted it, Wu Zheng could not blame him too much.
Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "If the ancient sayings are heavy, it is your unintentional mistake after all, but this matter cannot be delayed and must be corrected immediately. Otherwise, if this continues, the Ming Society will become a gang of the martial arts community, such a cross-class and racial giant, once controlled by those who are interested, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Xia Wanchun disagreed, but he also said: "Just do it according to the prince's wishes... However, this matter is not as serious as the prince said. After all, people in the Ming Society advocate loyalty to the country and the nation..."
Wu Zheng was a little annoyed and held back his anger, but his tone was a little bad. "Cungu, when a community expanded to cross classes and races, this was not an ordinary community. In fact, it had already formed a restraint and threat to the government. Once something happened, it would be a storm, a riot, or even a civil war... This has nothing to do with its advocacy. You have also raised the flag and advocated the rebels against the Qing army. The people are of different quality. They have not been trained and are not like soldiers' orders. This can tolerate the enemy when facing the enemy, but once it is internal, it is a disaster... Remember, it is easy to start the people's movement, but it is extremely difficult to collect it."
Although Xia Wanchun did not fully understand what Wu Zheng meant, Wu Zheng's solemn matter made him realize that something might be wrong with this matter, so he replied: "I've recorded it."
Wu Zheng sighed and said, "There is another thing, which is also from Mingshe... I heard that now that you can join Mingshe, you only need to pay two taels of silver a year. This is very inappropriate. Isn't this disguised form of making money? If Mingshe lacks funds, you can tell me that I will find a way. At least I am still a Mingshe senator and have no responsibility. However, making money like this will only bring one consequence, that is, those with rich come, those without money will get out... Is this your original intention of starting Mingshe?"
Xia Wanchun's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Where did the prince hear about this? Why don't I know?"
Wu Zhengdemei, he obviously did not expect Xia Wanchun to deny it. In fact, in Wu Zheng's opinion, this matter is not too great. Before it is worthy of the worst result, unify the thinking and correct it.
But Xia Wanchun's denial made Wu Zheng a little impatient. He said, "This information will definitely not be wrong! Cungu, if you were not the leader of the Ming Society, I would have ordered the ban on the Ming Society at that time... I would never allow the Ming Society to become a gang, even if there is only a 10% chance. This matter must be corrected and urgent!"
Xia Wanchun also became anxious. He shook his head and said, "Wu Zheng, don't be anxious first... I really don't know about this. Think about it, how could I use such despicable means to make money?"
Wu Zhengwen fell silent when he heard this. It was indeed very strange. According to Xia Wanchun's character, he should not be able to do this, but Chang Lin Wei's information should not be wrong.
Wu Zheng looked at Xia Wanchun and said, "You said you don't know, I believe it! But there must be something, and it must be investigated. Maybe someone is doing it on your back."
These words made Xia Wanchun's face change drastically. He turned his head slightly and avoided Wu Zheng's gaze.
This made Wu Zheng's heart jump, "Cungu, I think there should be nothing that cannot be spread out between you and me?"
Xia Wanchun hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Zheng, I do have something to hide from you... Do you know that Mr. Wozi is my teacher. He intended to make a coup before he was discovered and was convicted by His Majesty. Or did you plead with His Majesty to save the teacher's life."
Wu Zheng said in surprise: "Did you hand over Mingshe to him... Mingshe is actually under Chen Zilong's control?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. How could I send Mingshe to the teacher? Besides, the teacher has gone to Hangzhou to join you... I mean, Mingshe is a loose club, and there are no positions in the club, so only a few of us founders are managing it."
