Nanchang, outside Zhangjiangmen.

Li Zhicui, formerly the Qing Jiangxi Censor and now promoted to Jiangxi Governor, was full of energy. He was surrounded by the Right Governor of the Royal Court and the commander of the Provincial Security Corps, and others, and was waiting with a chat and laugh.

"Mr. Wang, the preparation of the Nanchang Massacre Memorial Hall in Jihai is a major event that His Highness King Qi personally inquired. You can't be careless."

"Your Majesty Futai University can rest assured that the officials of the memorial hall are built according to the highest specifications, and will never be worse than Yangzhou, Jiangyin, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places."

The Right Commander Wangting, who was also a demoted official, almost patted his chest and promised Li Zhicui that there was no problem with the memorial hall.

Li Zhicui believed that Wang Ting would not be obsessed with profit and would be full of his own pockets, because this project was a perfect match. If Wang Ting was really confused, he would be seeking death himself. By the time the Jinyiwei locked him into Beijing, no one could save him.

"By the way, has the tomb of Jin and Wang been built? One of them is Duke of Yu and the other is Duke of Jianwu. Both died of state affairs. King Qi ordered a grand funeral, so the tomb must be built more decently."

"Sir, this is a bit tricky."

Wang Ting looked embarrassed. Jin Shengheng committed suicide by jumping into the lake with more than 20 arrows. His body was salvaged by the Qing army and his body was dismembered. Wang Deren was also dismembered by the Qing army. Therefore, the bones of the two of them were not preserved. Now they wanted to build a tomb for them, but they asked him where to find Jin and Wang's corpses.

Li Zhicui thought for a while and said, "Since you can't find the bones, you can build a tomb of clothes. Isn't Shi Kebu on Meihua Ridge also a tomb of clothes?"

"This is a good idea."

Wang Ting nodded deeply and thought it was right, but said again: "Actually, Your Highness of Qi and Wang took Jin and the two of them too seriously. When they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty earlier, they also harmed many anti-Qing military and civilians. It was just a matter of building the Jihai Massacre Memorial Hall, but why do you need to build a tomb and erect a monument for these two people to write a biography?"

"Are you saying this? If you have surrendered to the Tartars, you can no longer be a Ming minister? Then Li Chengdong also slaughtered Jiaxing three times, and wasn't he also named King of Yongli?"

Chen Sheng, commander of the Security Corps, was originally the general of the Qing Dynasty. When the Taiping Army entered Nanchang that day, the governor Zhang Chaolin ordered him to hunt down Li Zhicui. Chen Sheng did not obey the order, but asked his subordinates to treat Li Zhicui well and save Li Zhicui's life.

After Nanchang surrendered, Li Zhicui was trusted by King Zhou Shixiang of Qi. He first served as the Left Governor of Jiangxi and was promoted to the Governor of Jiangxi. In order to thank Chen Sheng for his life-saving grace, Li Zhicui tried his best to recommend Chen Sheng to Zhou Shixiang. Chen Sheng transformed into the commander of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Corps with the rank of general. Although he led the local security team, he was also a member of Jiangxi Wu.

With the grace of saving lives and the love of recommendation, Li and Chen have a very close relationship.

Chen Sheng was dissatisfied with Wang Ting's words just now, because according to his words, what were they? Most of the Jiangxi Wushu present, except for a small number of people, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. According to Wang Ting's view, wouldn't they not be valued?

Li Zhicui heard the implication of Chen Sheng's words, smiled slightly, and half warned and half reminded Wang Ting: "The King of Qi will not doubt people, but no doubt people. Anyone who has made contributions to the country and the people will treat the King of Qi well and will not take grudges. Therefore, we must follow the King of Qi in the future. We must not have any self-sentence or look down on others.

Lord Wang, please know that King Li Dingguo of Jin and King Shun of Li Laiheng were both thieves, and the rest, such as King Gongchang and King Jianchang, were also born. The generals under King Qi were even from the Qing army, but now, who dares to underestimate them at all?" After saying that, he paused, "There are no outsiders here, and you will forget that after saying that, if you ask someone with a heart to listen, I'm afraid it will be a problem."

"Yes, yes, what Master Futai taught me is the lesson."

Wang Ting's heart was terrified, his scalp tingled, and he secretly scolded himself for being very quick-talking. What did Li Chengdong or Jin Shengheng do in the past? Now the King of Qi has set the tone. If you say that they are not good, wouldn't they sing the opposite tune with the King of Qi?

Wang Ting knew very well what the consequences were when he sang against the Taiping Army and His Highness of the Ming Dynasty. Those who were slaughtered in Ganzhou and Ji'an, Zhang Chaolin, Tong Fengcai, Liu Tongchun and others were dismembered in front of him.

Li Zhicui broke through this matter and asked about the construction of the Wangting Memorial Hall. Chen Sheng listened to a few words on the side and suddenly asked with concern: "Master Futai, the King of Qi will organize the imperial officials to visit the Jihai Massacre Memorial Hall in Nanchang. Is it just that they know the tragedy that year or something else? The last one is really stupid. Please let the two masters reveal it."

Wang Ting shook his head and said, "If there is nothing else, I think King Qi just wants the officials of the court to look inside and outside my Nanchang City, let them see the atrocities of the Qing army in Jihai, and see the countless people trampling on the iron hooves."

Li Zhicui had thought of something and wanted to speak, but then he thought about it and didn't speak.

"Can't the two adults guess something else?" Chen Sheng always felt that this was not that simple. Otherwise, how could he mobilize so many people to bring officials above the heads of the nine ministers and above to various provinces to visit one by one.

Li Zhicui shook his head, Wang Ting didn't think much about it. At this time, someone came to report that the imperial team had arrived.

"Oh, here we come!"

Li Zhicui smiled and waved his hand, signaling the Wushu to accompany him to take over the imperial official group. Although he was the governor of Jiangxi and a provincial official, there were many high-ranking officials who came and were escorted by Jinyiwei, so he did not dare to act like a governor. After all, he was demoted and there was no harm in acting respectfully.

The group of officials who came to Nanchang came from the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Works, Taichang Temple, Dali Temple, and Censorate, with a total of 126 people. They were escorted by Jinyi's personal army, boarded the ship from Nanjing, went upstream, first to Anqing, then to Jiujiang, and then to Nanchang from Jiujiang.

According to the plan, this is the first batch, followed by the second batch and the third batch. After the officials from all over the Jiuqing Yamen visited, there will be students from the Imperial College, Nanjing Military Academy, Jiangnan Army University and University, and middle schools in various provinces. The expenses required will be paid by the Grand Governor's Office, and the local government does not have to bear it, they only need to provide food and housing.

The local governments bear 30% of the massacre memorial halls in various places, and the remaining 70% are allocated by the Grand Governor's Office. From this, we can also see that Zhou Shi attaches great importance to this matter.

The first batch of officials who arrived in Nanchang were led by Grand Secretary Ding Zhixiang, and the Jinyi personal army escorted was led by Pan Xuezhong, Qianhu, Nanzhen.

"See Grand Secretary Ding!"

Li Zhicui led a group of Jiangxi Wushou to meet Ding Zhi. Ding Zhi waved his hand and said seriously: "I am representing the court and representing His Highness of Qi to come to Nanchang to pay tribute to the Jihai Massacre and the deceased death of the military and civilians. Therefore, I don't want the vain rituals and other things, and I don't have any reception banquets. In the past few days in Nanchang, all the officials accompanying him will eat and live together, and their diet is mainly light. Now, let's take us to the memorial hall."

Li Zhicui and others were stunned. This Grand Secretary Ding is so decisive?
