golden scales

Nanjing in July is so dull that there is no wind, and no clouds have ever been seen floating in the sky. The whole world seems to be frozen.Gao Hongtu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Nanjing, was sitting in the gazebo, just closing his eyes and meditating.The other people in the booth were also in a daze, and didn't talk about it.

Under the guidance of Gao Hongtu's family, Shi Kefa quickly stepped into the gazebo.There were many gray-haired people in the gazebo, and when they saw Shi Kefa coming in, they all got up to pay respects.

Shi Kefa greeted Gao Hongtu who came out first.Seeing the silver-haired Zhang Shenyan in the crowd, Shi Kefa hurried forward and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Miao Shan is here." Zhang Shenyan is the recommender of Donglin Party Leader Xingxing, and Shi Kefa is a student of Donglin Zuo Guangdou, so naturally he does not know Dare to meet in an official position.Moreover, Zhang Shenyan was the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, and he was in charge of the imperial envoy of the right capital, so he was not inferior to Shi Kefa in name.

Zhang Shenyan smiled and sat down immediately.

Seeing Lu Daqi present again, Shi Kefa stepped forward to bow to meet each other, and then bowed hands with several other accompanying guests.

After this cutscene was over, Shi Kefa thought to himself that Mr. Yao had miscalculated this time, all the people present here are gentlemen of Donglin, how could there be such disobedience?

"Dao neighbor," Gao Hongtu said to Shi Kefa, "I see Eunuch Wang and Uncle Xin Cheng today, what can you say?"

"Eunuch Wang is just asking for money, Uncle Xin only knows how to smooth things over, so what can he say?" Shi Kefa smiled wryly, and then asked again: "You guys can find a way to save the country here?"

Gao Hongtu glanced at Zhang Shenyan and said, "Let alone save the country, let's save the Holy One first."

"The Holy Majesty is currently stationed in Tai'an Prefecture, and I am lucky to point you to the South, what can I do to save you?" Shi Kefa asked with a frown.

Lu Daqi said bluntly: "Sima Gong, Laizhou is only more than [-] miles away from Nanjing. Why didn't they arrive from March to July? On the contrary, several imperial edicts were issued to easily supervise and township. There are even kings with different surnames and so on. Shocking thing! Don't Sima Gong find it strange?"

"First of all," Shi Kefa said kindly to Lu Daqi, "how can we gossip about chasing after wind and shadow? Jiang Yanji (Jiang Yueguang's name Yanji) accompanied him to the south, and letters came from time to time. He also said that it was because of the urgent military situation in the north. Send troops to protect Shengjia. If there are soldiers in the south, they will naturally return to welcome the emperor and return to the court as soon as possible."

Lu Daqi sneered, and said: "If there is really such a thing as Suzong's spirit and martial arts, Jiang Yanji may only be able to say insincerely."

Seeing that the tone of the two men was too intense, Gao Hongtu intervened and said, "Whether the East Palace has the heart of martial arts or not, it is true that Sheng Jia will not be able to return to court for a long time to ask about politics. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and now it is time for soldiers." How can we waste time when the battle is fierce and dangerous?"

Shi Kefa paused in his heart, and thought to himself: Did Mr. Yao really hit the mark?How could Gao Hongtu have such delusions!

"Someone in the Nanchen said that they want to use the King of Fortune to supervise the country." Zhang Shenyan said cautiously.

Shi Kefa stood up abruptly: "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! The Holy Son of Heaven is on his way. But my officials in Nandu are good at discussing the establishment of a prison country? What are you talking about!"

"My neighbor, don't be anxious." Gao Hongtu said: "This theory is not what we advocate."

Just now Shi Kefa's blood poured into his head, only then did he calm down, his whole body shuddered, and said: "Who is talking about it! You can kill him! How dare you say such disobedient words!" He said, looking at Lu Daqi.

Lu Daqi knew that he had been reckless just now, and Shi Kefa misunderstood him, so he could only scold him: "Sure enough, it's not a minister! You can't be a son of man! But, Sima Gong, there are fierce discussions, all saying that the Holy Son of Heaven is held hostage by others. But there was indeed a hero in the East Palace before. posture..."

"Cough cough," Zhang Shenyan coughed softly, "don't confuse the facts. The important thing now is that if the Holy One doesn't return the court, there will be no one to take charge of the overall situation. No matter what the situation in the north is, it is also necessary to set up a prison country to consolidate people's hearts. As it should be."

Shi Kefa knew what Zhang Shenyan meant.If the prince is coercing the emperor to make the princes, then using the prison country can indeed get rid of this ambition, so that he can only send the emperor back to the court.

"Then, what if Donggong is indeed a pure and filial person?" Shi Kefa said, "Isn't it a crime of treason to set up a prison without authorization!"

"Who dares to stand alone? Naturally, it is necessary to perform the emperor's sage." Lu Daqi said: "It's just that someone wants to establish the King of Fortune. This is something we cannot agree to anyway."

Shi Kefa frowned even tighter and said: "The prince is the head of the supervisor, followed by King Ding and King Yong. How can it be Fufan's turn?"

"Hehe," Lu Daqi laughed dryly, jumped over the crown prince, and said, "Prince Ding and Prince Yong both follow the holy chariot, so naturally they can't come."

Shi Kefa finally understood that some people just wanted to use the theory of establishing a prison to scare the snake.

Because this "Fu Wang" is too sensitive.

Today's Fu Wang Zhu Yousong is the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, and his father, the old Fu Wang, was another protagonist in the original national struggle, Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng.In order to keep the crown prince of Lord Guangmiao, the Donglin party members waged a protracted war with Emperor Shenzong for decades. The palace case can be said to be devoted to Guangzong's branch.

If King Fu's branch returns to Nanjing to supervise the country, what should we do if we turn over the old scores?And when the time comes, there will definitely be villains who will attach themselves to Fufan, wouldn't it leave a great hidden danger?

"This matter is quite strange." Shi Kefa frowned and said, "Why would someone want to risk the world's displeasure by instigating this matter?"

"Because they are worried that the Son of Heaven is really Nan Xing." Zhang Shenyan said in a low voice.

"Mr. Xiaoshan means..." Shi Kefa has not yet reacted.

"Everyone present here, what clues can Duke Sima see?" Lu Daqi asked.

——They are all old people from Donglin.

Shi Kefa secretly thought, but shook his head, expressing that he didn't see it.

Lu Daqi chuckled: "Everyone thinks we are from Donglin, but Lu is from Suining, Sichuan, Mr. Sima is from Xiangfu, Henan, Mr. Gao is from Jiaozhou, Shandong, and Mr. Miaoshan is from Yangcheng, Shanxi. Other lords Most of them are from the north and came from the south, although they are called Donglin, they are not from the south. Do you understand, Da Sima?"

——It turns out that the mystery is here!No wonder Qian Muzhai is not here!

The Donglin Party, known as the Donglin Academy, entered the stage of history in the Wanli Dynasty.Leaving aside the merits and demerits of this party, it is only said that their cruelty to political enemies and the speed at which they betrayed their allies were very rare in the Ariake Dynasty.This is why many people voted for Wei Zhongxian, and the Xuan Party, the Kun Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party all preferred to form an alliance with the Eunuch Party.

After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he first eradicated the eunuch party, not because of his literary and youthful nature, but because the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian did indeed threaten his life.Coupled with the fact that Emperor Tianqi fell into the water, there was suspense, which made Chongzhen feel resentful.Under such circumstances, Wei Zhongxian must die, and the eunuch party can only die with him.Emperor Chongzhen acted swiftly and resolutely in this regard, without the slightest bit of benevolence for women.

After the fall of the eunuch party, Chongzhen made great efforts to govern, but he was actually very cautious in employing people.Especially when dealing with Donglin party members, it is not used at all, but it is only used for rhetoric, and it is never allowed to control the real affairs.Zhou Yanru finally made Chongzhen furious and felt betrayed. Not only did he lie about the military situation, but the outer court concealed it for him.It was because he had colluded with "Dong Lin", and this was the real cause of death.

Therefore, during the Chongzhen Dynasty, Donglin had already existed in name only, and it no longer had the political influence of the Wanli era.

But in Jiangnan, Donglin is still a true gentleman in the minds of scholars. The famous Fushe was established under the banner of Donglin, which also makes Jiangnan ministers somewhat have Donglin background. Even if they are not partisans, they are also sympathizers .Among them is Qian Qianyi Qian Muzhai, who is known as the leader of the Donglin Party and has a very high reputation in Jiangnan.

"If Your Majesty is lucky to be in the south, the court will be filled with ministers from the south, wouldn't it be a blessing for them?" Shi Kefa hesitated.

"First of all, Qian Qianyi will not be hired." Lu Daqi said: "Furthermore, which of the ministers in the south of the Yangtze River is not Tianlianqianmo, a mansion in Guangsha? The emperor is recruiting in Beijing, the East Palace is searching everywhere, and even Gao Gong is in Laoshan. His villas have been confiscated... Sima Gong thinks, which is more important, the vain position of the court or the wealth of the family, and which is the lesser?"

Shi Kefa looked at Gao Hongtu: "This... how could you confiscate Mr. Xiaozhai's villa?"

Gao Hongtu waved his hand and said, "It's also caused by a misunderstanding, so there's no need to mention it. Just talk about the immediate matter."

Lu Daqi continued: "Because of this matter, I invite Sima Gong to discuss with us and see how we can deal with it. Lu believes that if it is inevitable to supervise the country, the Lu Fan will always be stronger than the Fu Fan." (To be continued..)
