Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 135 Donglin is in action
Sending troops to fight is a major event among the major affairs of the country. Zhu Yousong made a decision with one word, and even the most basic court discussions were omitted. Although he does not know when the emperor became the double-faced role of the iron-blooded emperor and the eternal benevolent emperor.

"My minister obeys the order." Gao Hongtu didn't dare to say more, but he was in favor of the court's early use of troops against the Tartars.

At this time, the inner eunuch offered pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Gao Hongtu immediately drafted it. Zhu Yousong watched it from the side until Zhu Yousong was satisfied. Song asked Li Guofu, the head of the Yuma Supervisor, and An Lin, the admiral of the Yuma Supervisor, to send the two orders to Shouzhou and Huai'an.

The news that the imperial court was going to use troops against the Qing Tartars spread like wildfire. Gao Hongtu left the palace and returned to the cabinet. The crowd was crowded with Jiang Riguang, the Taishi Taishi Huang Daozhou, and Liu Zongzhou the Taizi Taifu. Spokesman, envoy, editor-in-chief, etc. of the four secretaries of the Academy came to visit one after another.

These people can be roughly divided into two factions, one is the main combat faction like Gao Hongtu, there is the grand master Jiang Riguang, there is the prince and grand master Huang Daozhou, there is the Hubu Shangshu Lu Daqi who was born in Donglin, and there is the national hero Zuo Du in the style of Wen Tianxiang Zuo Maodi, the imperial envoy, Huang Duanbo, the imperial envoy of the right capital, Qu Shixuwei, the right servant of the Ministry of household affairs, Wu Weiye, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and so on.

The other faction is the Zhuhe faction headed by Prince Taifu Liu Zongzhou. This Confucian master advocates prudence and independence, and pursues peace as the most important thing. Shangshu Qian Qianyi, Shi Kefa, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Liu Zongzhou's students, Huang Zongxi who escaped from Beidu Prison and joined the Fushe, etc.

On the issue of dealing with the Qing Tartars and thieves, the peace faction is the opposite of the war faction. They put forward the strategy of uniting with the captives and flattening the crown on the grounds that fighting against the outside world must first settle down. Yu Liu crowned Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng lost to the Tartars in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, so he came to the absurd and absurd theory that the Tartars' iron cavalry was invincible. The Qing Tartars ruled the Yangtze River in order to achieve long-term peace and stability.

The war faction and the peace faction once met in the cabinet. They fought tit-for-tat, and even fought each other. In the end, Gao Hongtu sent them all away and asked them to go to the imperial court to ask for a decision.

Liu Zongzhou and Qian Qianyi relied on their elders to sell their elders, and on behalf of the Zhuhe faction, they really asked Jin to meet His Majesty and forcefully stated their own opinions.

Zhu Yousong still summoned them in the Hall of Martial Arts. When Liu Zongzhou and Qian Qianyi put forward their claims and stated their sufficient reasons, Zhu Yousong got up after listening to the case and scolded: "If it is to appease the thieves, it is okay. Again, if you seek peace from the Qing Tartars, it is completely unreasonable. The Tartars have innocently violated our Ming Dynasty, plundered our people, and raped our women. Half the wall, but you must not embarrass your ancestors. If you offend my Ming Dynasty, you will be punished even if you are far away. Intolerance!"

These few sentences Zhu Yousong not only criticized the Zhuhe faction, but also meant to warn the two of them, to do their part honestly, to talk about government affairs is risky, and to offend Longlin will have to pay the price. "Rebellious ministers will be punished for their meritorious deeds, and they will never be tolerated!" is a powerful response.

Liu Zongzhou and Qian Qianyi were given a big neck of roast chicken. Seeing that the emperor was so determined, they didn't dare to say any more. Their faces were full of frustration, and they came back after being happy.

Zhu Yousong looked at the backs of the two, and really wanted to punish them for their crimes, but he did not say that they were veterans of the four dynasties, masters of Confucianism, and giants in the literary world. If Liu Zongzhou was punished, there might be Zhang Zongzhou, Zheng Zongzhou, Wang Zongzhou, etc. Zongzhou, etc. If Qian Qianyi is the whole one, there may be Zhao Qianyi, Sun Qianyi, Li Qianyi and others who stand up, because he knows that in the late Ming Dynasty, there were not one or two people with their kind of thinking, but a group of people, so the massacre is not the solution to the problem way.

Fundamentally speaking, the main peace faction is nothing more than the fear that they will not win, which will harm their own interests. Only when they use practical actions to prove that they have the strength to defeat the Tartars and revive Ming Dynasty, and let them see hope, will they be convinced. Ideology and speech such as surrender, compromise, and mediocrity will be completely eliminated.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong did not pursue the surrender remarks of these two for the time being, but only warned them and blasted them out.

After leaving the palace, Liu Zongzhou shook his head. Qian Qianyi saw that no one was coming, and cupped his hands and said, "Please, Mr. Liu. Your Majesty is now arbitrary in imperial power, self-willed, foolish, obstinate in his own way, respectful of eunuchs, faithful in his words, and the late emperor." Compared with Chongzhen, there is nothing worse than that, if things go on like this, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and Mr. Liu has to find a way."

Liu Zong shook his sleeves on Zhou Yi and said solemnly, "Mr. Qian really exalts old people. A certain man is weak, has no strength to restrain a chicken, and is at the age of death. What can he do?"

Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "Mr. Liu is too self-effacing. You are the grand master, the elder of the four dynasties, and he is the top of today's academic world. His disciples are all over the world. Who doesn't know you? As long as Mr. Liu raises his arms, he will follow you." More than ten million? I am not talented, and I am willing to be driven..."

"Stop!" Qian Qianyi had just learned this, and Liu Zongzhou sternly stopped, "Qian Gong said to keep virtue, Liu can at most know how to read and write, that's all, unlike Qian Qianyi who has lofty ambitions, although His Majesty today A bit stubborn, but in the eyes of Liu Mou, he is not considered a foolish king, Liu Mou has nothing to do with Qian Gong, Qian Gong must not mistake someone." After speaking, he walked away.

"Hmph! Pretentious, self-righteous, self-righteous, what's the big deal!" Qian Qianyi snorted coldly, slandered a few words, turned around, and saw three strangers nearby at some point. Wearing a pointed hat, brown clothes, a small waistband, and white leather boots, Qian Qianyi shut his mouth abruptly and walked away.

Of course, there were no idlers wandering around the palace. The three strangers Qian Qianyi saw were all the factory fans sent by Li Quan. Although the factory owner Lu Jiude was away, the East Factory was still operating as usual. Li Quan, who was in charge of the punishment of thousands of households and the commander of the Jinyiwei, became the No. [-] factory owner and governor. He and the Jinyiwei commander Zu Hai sent people to supervise the officials every day. The party is the focus of their surveillance.

Qian Qianyi felt as if he was being watched by someone, and hurried back to his mansion. His wife, Liu Rushi, greeted him like a little bird, with a happy face, so it turned out that it was a guest from the mansion.

The couple came to the living room, and there were many guests. They all stood up, clasped their hands, and greeted each other. The four sons of Fushe were all here, and five of the eight talented men and beauties by the Qinhuai River gathered together. Fang Gang's generation, this is Huang Zongxi, a rookie in the poetry society who escaped from the prison in the northern capital and lived in the south. He became famous all over the world in his twenties.
