Ming Dynasty Emperor Chat Group: Zhu Qizhen Quits The Group At The Beginning

35: Niu Jinxing heard about Ruan Dacheng’s plan.

After everyone asked for help, Ruan Dacheng first put forward his own request,”If you want to survive, you must fully cooperate with me.……”

“Of course it is so!” Chen Yan said excitedly:”Brother Jizhi saved us, we should fully cooperate!”

Chen Yan’s words were within Ruan Dacheng’s expectations. His eyes swept over the people at the scene one by one, obviously paying more attention to their attitudes.

Under the huge pressure brought to them by Zhu Gaoxun, everyone present agreed with Chen Yan’s words.

Only Zhou Kui……Thinking of the man who came to his house late at night and talked to him yesterday, he silently made up his mind. Seeing that everyone present agreed, Ruan Dacheng was relieved.

Although this party was initiated by Chen Yan, the invited people were actually carefully selected by him and Chen Yan.

The people present were either extremely corrupt or had done something unacceptable to the court…….It can only be said that everyone is on the same boat. If something really happens, no one can escape!

However, Ruan Dacheng, in accordance with the principle of caution, still removed some people from the group to avoid accidents.

Of course, Zhou Kui, who was the Earl of Jiading and was known for his corruption in the Shuntian Prefecture officialdom, was also among those discussed.

“If we want to survive, we must not hand over our wealth. Emperor Tiancheng is extremely powerful and will not tolerate us! Even if he can tolerate us, Taizu and Chengzu cannot tolerate us!”

“so……If you want to survive, you must find another way and survive from death.”

After speaking, Ruan Dacheng briefly analyzed the current situation and explained the prerequisites for doing this. Everyone present agreed.

Seeing that people’s hearts were willing to work, Ruan Dacheng just told him his shocking plan,”Li Zicheng is only 500 miles away from the capital, and his troops are heading straight for the capital. If we want to survive, it depends on this man.”

Chen Yan immediately understood Ruan Dacheng’s plan, but he still had concerns,”I heard that Li Zicheng has always been harsh on gentry. Is this method feasible for us?”

“Whether it is feasible or not is not up to him.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Ruan Dacheng laughed coldly and said,”If this man occupies the capital, he will have the ambition to swallow up the world. If he wants to swallow up the world, we old Ming officials will be indispensable.”

“In this way, we can cater to their needs, surrender in advance, plan in advance, and survive!”

Chen Yan was shocked:”Brother Ji wants to disrupt the capital? If not, we will not be tolerated by the world!” Ruan Dacheng said grimly:”The Zhu family has tens of thousands of princes and vassal states, who do not produce and oppress the people. The world has suffered from Zhu for a long time! Moreover, that sincere kid is still acting like a tyrant in the city. It is the right way for us to abandon the dark and join the light!”

When the words fell, everyone present was shocked and terrified. Ruan Dacheng was too bold!

Once the truth was revealed, it would not be as simple as death, but also a disaster for the family!

But Ruan Dacheng’s words undoubtedly touched their hearts.

Yes, with the character of the old Zhu family and the style of Taizu and Chengzu, if they really offered their family wealth, they would probably be close to death.

Why should the money we got with great difficulty be given to the Zhu family?

Anyway, it’s a dead end, so it’s better to survive!

Only Zhou Kui, with his head lowered and his eyes dim, he remembered the words of that man yesterday….

Chen Yan did not notice the change in Zhou Kui’s expression, and excitedly said to Ruan Dacheng:”Brother Jizhi, what are you going to do? We will definitely cooperate with you!”

Out of the desire for life, this statement immediately aroused the echo of the people at the scene, and they all prayed to Ruan Dacheng

“Mr. Ruan is a great talent. If I can survive, I will definitely thank Mr. Ruan for his kindness. I also hope that Mr. Ruan will not hesitate to give me some advice.”

“Yes, the Zhu family emperor has been in power for so many years, swallowing up all the wealth in the world. We are just trying to get some foundation to establish our family, but they are calling for our killing. It is really despicable!”

“The Zhu family is weak. Even with Emperor Tiancheng, Taizu and Chengzu, they will surely be defeated!”

“……”

The reason why the people on the scene were lucky was because they thought they knew the situation in the world very well, and they also believed that the Ming Dynasty would perish, so under the oppression of Zhu Gaoxun, they burst out with an extremely strong desire to survive.

But unfortunately, they underestimated the people of the old Zhu family and also underestimated Zhu Gaoxun. The limitations of the times doomed this group of people to have a bad end.

After Zhou Kui made some decisions, he also spoke out in a very timely manner.

Seeing that people’s hearts were available, Ruan Dacheng no longer hesitated and told his plan,”The first thing you have to do is to hide your property at home immediately and keep yourself ready for use!”

“Ruan Gong is a righteous man.”Hearing this, the people present were very satisfied,”But the soldiers are strong, how can we hide our money?”

“If you have a secret room at home, you can hide your wealth in it. If you don’t have a secret room, you should find a suitable place to hide it.”

The solution given by Ruan Dacheng was not good, but it was part of his plan.

What he wanted was nothing more than these people’s connections in Shuntian Prefecture to improve the feasibility of the matter.

What did Ruan Dacheng have to do with these people’s money?

“I know you have concerns, but please listen to me…….”Ruan Dacheng said slowly:”After the money in the family is hidden for a while, we will take out some money and present it to Emperor Tiancheng to ease his heart.”

“I spread rumors in the city to confuse the soldiers and the people. I also sent people to contact Li Zicheng and persuade him to attack Shuntian Prefecture.”

“When Li Zicheng attacks, Tian Chengdi and others will be panicked and will not be able to take care of us, so we can wait for the opportunity to act!”

In fact, Ruan Dacheng’s plan is very simple, that is, to cooperate with Li Zicheng from inside and outside.

Before coming, Ruan Dacheng had already arranged for someone to do this.

It’s just that what he said at this time is slightly different.

I heard that Li Zicheng was short of money…….

Ruan Dacheng planned to sell out everyone present, including Chen Yan! He was not afraid that Li Zicheng would not be tempted!���

There were also people who provided a list of names and charges to collect money. I’m sure Li Zicheng would not miss this opportunity…….Ruan Dacheng didn’t care. It was just a matter of success or failure. When he ascended to a high position, he would have the final say on how history books would record it! ?

Looking at the excited expressions of the people at the scene, Ruan Dacheng knew that this matter was already mostly accomplished!

“”Wait until we contact Li Zicheng.” Ruan Dacheng continued,”We can set fire in the city to cause riots, and cooperate with each other inside and outside! How can Emperor Tiancheng not be defeated?”

After all, it involves the matter of collusion with thieves and also involves the reputation after death, so it is better to be cautious.

So the people present discussed this matter in detail with Ruan Dacheng.

With Ruan Dacheng’s amazing eloquence, everyone present was convinced by him and went down to make arrangements.

Zhou Kui had made up his mind and pretended to agree:”But the city is strictly guarded. When Li Zicheng attacks, we will be strictly guarded. I’m afraid it’s not easy to set fire.”

Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng laughed.

He was prepared for this and grinned:”Then start setting fire from your own home! Put it to death and then survive! Gentlemen, only by giving up money for a while can the family continue. Of course, if we don’t want to, I won’t force it.”

Originally, when people heard Ruan Dacheng say that the fire should start from their own home, they were not very willing. But after listening to Ruan Dacheng’s analysis of the pros and cons, Chen Yan was the first to agree,”Just as Brother Jizhi said! Start the fire from your own home!”

Seeing Chen Yan’s agreement, no matter how reluctant the people were, they could only agree…….

Under Ruan Dacheng’s arrangement, everyone present was assigned tasks to seek great things.

At the same time, in

Taiyuan Prefecture, where Li Zicheng’s troops were located,

Niu Jinxing met with two groups of people in succession and immediately went to the commander’s tent.
