Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After Hou Xun entered the court again, he was quite proud in the officialdom.In May of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Hou Xun was promoted to Minister of the Household Department.But just one month after he took office, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant, was squeezed out by Wen Tiren and resigned from office.

However, even though Wen Tiren was replaced as the chief assistant, he still dared not make it clear that he was in a difficult position with Donglin and Fushe.Because of Hou Xun's prominent position in the Donglin Party, and because he discovered two important generals who were in danger - Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu, Hou Xun had to be content with his position.Even later, Hou Xun was seriously injured in an explosion while inspecting the gunpowder depot, and the court kept him in place, allowing him to recuperate in the capital with peace of mind.

During this period, Hou Fangyu was selected as a scholar and married.And when he was 16 years old, he went to Beijing to serve his father.Wu Shigong also knew about these things, but he just sent someone to present a generous gift because he was out to fight.

But this time Hou Fangyu returned to his hometown to join this commercial gilding group, what was he doing?If you want to make commercial profits, with the relationship between the Hou Mansion and Wu Shigong, Mrs. Hou only needs to write a letter to Wu Shigong.And Hou Fangyu wanted to go to the examination hall to make meritorious service, so why is it necessary for him to go to Runing to make some military merits?So Wu Shigong was puzzled.

Seeing Wu Shigong looking at him, Zhao Ming spread his arms and shrugged.His attitude was very clear: If Hou Fangyu wanted to come to Runing, he couldn't stop him?

Wu Shigong didn't know that the Hou Mansion's cultivation of Hou Fangyu had actually started a long time ago.

In the second year of Hou Fangyu's arrival in the capital, he drafted a memorial to the field on behalf of his father, scoring ten items such as Guantun, Juntun, Bingtun, Mintun, Shangtun, Futun, Biantun, Reclamation, Examination, and Trust. , Eloquent, smooth and sophisticated, expected to be feasible.

Although Hou Fangyu's memorial must have been completed under the guidance of Hou Xun, and he borrowed many of Wu Shigong's farming methods.Moreover, because of the complex and changeable situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many items in the memorials were inevitably a bit of a theory.But after all, Hou Fangyu is a 17-year-old boy.It is also a remarkable thing to be able to draft such a large character.

And this time Hou Fangyu went to the Runing Army after returning home, it was the Hou Mansion who wanted Hou Fangyu to be familiar with military affairs, make friends with generals like Wu Shigong and Zuo Liangyu, and make Hou Fangyu's reputation in the court again.

Then the Hou Mansion will arrange for Hou Fangyu to go to Jinling, and once again establish his reputation as a talented scholar among the scholars of the world.

It can be seen from this that the Hou Mansion trained Hou Fangyu as a future political leader.Of course, what we know now is the poignant and euphemistic love story between Hou Fangyu and Li Xiangjun in Jinling in "Peach Blossom Fan".

in the original history.Hou Fangyu did not return to his hometown until the 11th year of Chongzhen to prepare for the provincial examination and went to Jinling.Because of the variable Wu Shigong now, he returned home early, and history has quietly changed here.

Because he wanted to find out, Wu Shigong called Zhao Ming to the back hall alone at this time.And left the other officials and gentry children in the front hall.But when he heard Hou Fangyu's arrival, he immediately ordered: "Come here! Please come in, Young Master!"

But I haven't waited for the next person to agree.Wu Shigong stood up.Said: "I still welcome the young master personally!"

When Wu Shigong and Zhao Ming came to the front hall, they heard a handsome young man with sword eyebrows impassioned: "The country's troubles are just when we rise up; the journey of a thousand miles, it's time for us to start. Today, we have this good opportunity to wipe out the thieves. It is our luck to wait for the world to be peaceful. It is also our generation's ambition to inherit Lingyan and Yuntai...."

Of course that boy was Hou Fangyu.It can be seen that his agitation is very strong, and his eloquence is also very good, which made a group of passionate young people listen with enthusiasm and excitement.

What a noble group of people.A group of pure people, a group of moral people, a group of people who have escaped vulgar interests, a group of people who are beneficial to the people!

Wu Shigong couldn't help being overwhelmed, he pumped his palms loudly excitedly, thinking: "Little ancestors! Can you please stop messing around?"

Seeing Wu Shigong smiling and applauding, Hou Fangyu immediately stopped his speech and saluted Wu Shigong: "Brother Shi! I can't wait anymore! I'm going to take Qingfeng and kill all the bandits."

When they got here, those old and cunning officials of the Guide Mansion also went astray.They originally wanted their children to be gilded, but those are all passionate youths!It is a matter of romantic heroism to have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield, so they are eager to go to the battlefield.

Wu Shigong was eager to gain wisdom, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "This is the time when the name of a man will go down in history. You are all the sun in the morning, and the future is yours!" Anyway, who can't shout slogans?Let's fool this group of hot young people first.

Wu Shigong's slogan immediately won a burst of deafening cheers.Reqing is so deceitful!Strike while the iron is hot, Wu Shigong continued: "However, the troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first! Commander Zhao is also a veteran in the battlefield and has rich experience. You can go to our Runing Army to get what you need. Once you are fully prepared, you can set off to wipe out the Shaanxi bandits." .”

Wu Shigong lifted the ball to Zhao Ming with a big foot.Anyway, in the future, I will leave it to Zhao Ming to fool those hot young people!

But how could Zhao Ming not understand Wu Shigong's intention?He immediately said with a smile: "Deputy General Wu is also a rising star. When he leads the army and leads you into battle, you will definitely see his galloping demeanor!"

Zhao Ming's intention was also very clear, anyway, tie Wu Shigong into a grasshopper on a rope so that no one can escape.

Wu Shigong avoided everyone's gaze and rolled his eyes at Zhao Ming.Then he turned around and returned to his normal expression, and said to Hou Fangyu and the others: "I am very happy to see all the talented people today, and I am also very happy. Tonight, I will clean up the dust for you. I hope you will rest easy and write more clever sentences. When it was released, it was also a good story."

Those enthusiastic youths immediately applauded, this is their favorite entertainment.So Wu Shigong immediately asked the housekeeper Liu Yuan to arrange a banquet for the singing girls, and invited Deng Qifan to come and accompany them, and entertain the group of enthusiastic young people in the evening.

When Wu Shigong left, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's not easy for this young man to do his job!"

Wu Shigong didn't want to attend the literati's banquet at night because his literary talent was very poor.But because of the sincere invitations from those hot young people, and because Hou Fangyu had to save face, Wu Shigong also participated in the literary meeting in the end.

The banquet was held quite successfully, and the scene was quite lively.Those Reqings who were tightly controlled by their elders at home were finally able to be entertained by delicious wine and beautiful women in Runing, and they immediately became unrestrained.

Under the enthusiasm of the enthusiastic young people, Wu Shigong also composed two impromptu poems, which also received a lot of applause.It's not that those hot young people are flattering, in their opinion, it's pretty good that Wu Shigong, a military officer, can make such a rhyming doggerel.

After the banquet, Wu Shigong happily returned to the inner house, but was surprised to find that none of his wives fell asleep.They gathered together to discuss something, and they laughed like silver bells from time to time.

Wu Shigong became curious, he sneaked to the door and eavesdropped.

"I didn't expect our husband to be able to write poems?" Zhao Ruya's words caused another burst of coquettish laughter.

Didn't expect that the deeds of his writing poems would spread to the inner house so quickly?Wu Shigong suddenly felt a little flustered.He didn't hide any more, pushed the door open, and said proudly: "How is it? Are your husband's poems good?"

"It's not bad!" Qiong Niang whispered, "At least the words in the poem are enough."

Although Qiongniang's voice was very low, it was enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly, so her words caused another burst of charming laughter.Wu Shigong suddenly became angry from embarrassment, he didn't expect that the more considerate Qiongniang would laugh at him, so he immediately acted like a hungry tiger rushing to eat, and wanted to catch Qiongniang and ravage him well.Qiongniang was so scared that she hid behind Mei Yun and kept laughing.

"Actually, the young master's poems are still well written!" Xiuzhu said seriously.

Tears filled Wu Shigong's eyes immediately, it was still his little padded jacket that cared about him!Although Wu Shigong knew that his two poems were not very good, he still hoped that others would praise them for the poems he managed to hold back.

Wu Shigong immediately wanted to give Xiuzhu a warm hug, but unexpectedly, Xiuzhu continued: "It's much better than the poems that the young master wrote when he was studying."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then laughter broke out, and the ladies rubbed their stomachs and burst into tears.

Wu Shigong immediately became angry, this time he would not let Xiuzhu escape again, so he grabbed her into his arms.Huo Gang seems to be in a bad mood, and those ladies are going to climb on their own heads.

So Wu Shigong said viciously to Xiuzhu: "Then tonight, the young master will write two poems on you!"

Xiu Zhu also immediately put on a frightened expression, she tremblingly said to Wu Shigong: "Then come!" .

When going to the embroidered bamboo room, Wu Shigong sighed again: "It's not easy for women to do their jobs!"

Entering November, Gao Yingxiang, Ma Shouying and other peasant troops who retreated to the border of Henan hovered there, constantly looking for opportunities to re-enter Henan.Zuo Liangyu and other Ming troops also stood ready to prevent the peasant army from finding a gap.

After three disastrous defeats, Zhang Xianzhong's troops went all the way south and entered Nanyang Mansion.Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong might re-enter Huguang through Nanyang, Lu Xiangsheng also led the Tianxiong army to rush to Huguang.

After entering Nanyang, Zhang Xianzhong first sent a partial division to Nanyang Fucheng to feint a shot, pretending to attack Nanyang Fucheng, and frightened the prefect of Nanyang and General Sun Wei who were guarding Nanyang Fucheng to death. Letters were sent out one by one.

But in the city of Nanyang Prefecture, there was one person who was very happy, and that was the Tang King Zhu Yujian at that time.That Tang Wang Zhu Yujian is simply a strange flower among the vassal kings. He is not like other vassal kings who waited to die.And this battle started from Tang Wang Zhu Yujian! (To be continued..)
