But at this time, Chongzhen would not give them another chance to meet in private.

"Xu Yingwei, send Mr. Gao Ge back home!" Chongzhen ordered, "There is some chaos in Nanjing during this period. You must ensure Mr. Gao Ge's personal safety and make sure no mistakes are made."

"Students accept the order." Xu Yingwei agreed loudly.

Then he bowed his hands to Gao Hongtu and said: "Mr. Gao Ge, please get in the car."

Gao Hongtu could only glance at his three disciples with gloomy eyes, then lowered his head and got on the carriage.

Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were soon sent away by Prince Qin. Only Yuan Pengnian was taken into the imperial carriage and rode back to the city with Chongzhen and his son.

Zhu Cijiong pressed the handle of the waist knife with his hand and stared at Yuan Pengnian warily.

Although Zhu Cijiong is only fifteen years old this year, in the spring of this year, he started to grow up like crazy, and now he has grown to the position of Chongzhen's ears.

Moreover, this boy looks burlier than Zhu Cixiang.

So sitting there with the handle of the knife on your knees is quite intimidating.

But in fact, his worries were completely unnecessary. Yuan Pengnian was wearing shackles.

"Yuan Pengnian, you must really want to know what I and Gao Hongtu said in the lake, right?" Chongzhen smiled faintly and said, "It's okay to tell you, we just talked about our respective ideas."

"Gao Hongtu told me the reasons for regicide, and I also told him why we wanted to eradicate the Donglin Party."

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "Because there is no one else within a few hundred steps, it's just the two of us, so we didn't hold anything back and said everything we wanted to say."

"The Holy One is hinting to me to admit my connection with the regicide case?"

Yuan Pengnian smiled and said: "If this is the case, I don't need to bother to advise the Holy One. I only have one sentence at any time. I am not involved in the regicide case. If you don't, then you don't."

"I do know Du Hongyu, but they are just acquaintances."

"Why Du Hongyu committed regicide and rebelled against the emperor, I really don't know, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Of course, if Your Majesty insists on beating me up just because I know Du Hongyu, and puts the charge of regicide and rebellion on me, I can't do anything about it."

After a pause, he added: "After all, if you want your minister to die, you will have to die."

"Yuan Pengnian!" Zhu Cijiong was furious, "I advise you not to be too arrogant."

"Your Highness Prince Ding, please calm down the anger of Thunder." Yuan Pengnian said, "I can only tell the truth."

"You have such a sharp mouth, no wonder Gao Hongtu thinks so highly of you." Chongzhen said with a smile, "However, if you think that you have controlled the public opinion in Shilin and Jiangnan, so I can do nothing to you, then you are totally wrong.

.”

"The Holy Spirit's words are serious." Yuan Pengnian said, "How virtuous and capable is our Donglin Party that we can control the political debate and public opinion of scholars?"

After saying this for a while, Yuan Pengnian continued to say solemnly: "In addition, I also want to sincerely advise the Holy One, justice is in the heart of the people, and the eyes of the people in Jiangnan are sharp!"
