Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 6 Visitation
Although Ma Luan relied on his father's influence to climb to this high position that daunted all civil and military officials, he was not a mediocre person. He was full of martial arts and he could tell at a glance that this Emperor Hongguang was different from before. His eyes are clear, he stands as firm as Mount Tai, and speaks with full confidence, not at all like someone recovering from a serious illness. He is completely different from the bloated Zhu Yousong who was drunk in the past.This kind of temperament is not something that a person who is strong on the outside and capable on the outside can handle.In addition, the royal banquet of the palace, the full banquet of Manchu and Han, I don’t know how many options there are for changing tastes, why did I think of eating game, never heard that the emperor has this hobby?
Ma Luan left Zhu Yousong's bedroom, thinking about this in his heart, at this moment several court officials came to meet him, and when he saw who they were, he hurriedly saluted.

Hearing that the emperor had recovered, Ma Shiying, Liu Zongzhou, Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi all wanted to come to congratulate the emperor and say hello. The four met unexpectedly at Chengtianmen, and then met Ma Luan at Fengtianmen.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ma Shiying pulled his son aside, the two muttered a few words, Ma Luan left in a hurry, four court officials came to the Hall of Martial Arts one after another to see the holy driver, and Xiao Huangmen hurried in to report.

Hearing that Ma, Liu, Shiqian and the four court officials once again invited the order to visit the palace, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but be stunned. When meeting your in-laws, it’s not an option to hide them all the time. Besides, three days later will be the day of the Great Court. It’s good to meet them first, but Zhu Yousong doesn’t know how these four people got together. In my impression, they are not from the same way. ah?
Of course Zhu Yousong knew that since Nanming was a new court, many court officials inherited their old posts, and some new Muliao from Jiangnan joined in. shuffle.The process of shuffling the cards is a process of party struggle. Under the influence of powerful officials such as Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying, that Zhu Yousong lost his soul when he started shuffling the cards.

Ma Shiying's current position is still the governor of Fengyang. He claims to be the number one hero of Conglong. The benevolent Ruan Dacheng squeezed out the Donglin Party and was determined to win the position of chief assistant of the cabinet.

Shi Kefa can be regarded as half of the Donglin Party, because he is a disciple of Zuo Guangdou, the former important minister of the imperial court with meritorious service and amnesty, and he is the most powerful minister in the cabinet. The chief minister of the cabinet took the top spot.

The Minister of Rites, Qian Qianyi, is the leader of the Donglin Party. He represents the interests of the vast gentry group in the south of the Yangtze River. With petty bourgeois ideas, he has always opposed the feudal imperial power, advocated free trade, opened his mind, advocated this and that, in short Love sings against the emperor.

But Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu, is different from them. This veteran of the four dynasties can be called a master of Confucianism. He is the best at preaching scriptures. He has criticized the Donglin Party and impeached Wei Zhongxian. Integrity, honesty and integrity as an official, was one of the rare clean streams at that time.

These four people cannot be pinched together like sand and clay. It should be a coincidence that they came together in a group. Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong sent a message to see the four of them.

The four of them adjusted their clothes and entered the bedroom with the eunuch on duty. They saw that Zhu Yousong looked very good, and beside him stood the eunuch Han Zanzhou, who was in charge of the official seal. Almost in unison, "The ministers greet His Majesty. The Holy Lord is blessed and blessed. We congratulate Your Majesty."

"Ah, same joy, same joy, the four Qing families, flat life, bestow a seat."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Yousong met them one by one, because this is in the bedroom and not the court, so there is no need to be so serious and cautious, so Zhu Yousong returned to the case and sat down, ordered the eunuch to move a few chairs, and the four of them Thank you and take a seat.

Zhu Yousong guessed that these four people should not only come to the bedroom to visit him, but there may be other things besides asking An Daoxi for himself.

Sure enough, Shi Kefa stood up and saluted him, and said with a smile on his face: "The recovery of your majesty's dragon body is the blessing of the whole country, and I have a great event to honor my lord."

Although Zhu Yousong didn't have a good impression of this timid and lacking political foresight Shi Gong, he made outstanding contributions in the Chongzhen era and was the powerful minister who supported him to the throne. His performance was lamentable and even resentful, but even if there was no credit, there was hard work, and he came all the way to say hello to him, and he was well-behaved, so he smiled at him with great interest: "Oh, what is your happy event? Play it quickly."

"Your Majesty, Rong Bing." Shi Kefa put on a loyal face and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the latest news, the intruder was defeated by Wu Sangui, the commander of Ningyuan, in a stone, and his troops were lost. After several defeats, he has now escaped from Yanjing and fled westward, and General Wu led his elite cavalry in hot pursuit."

Speaking of this, Shi Kefa shook his head with a sense of accomplishment, and glanced at the other three colleagues from the corner of his eyes, with a sense of superiority written all over his face.

Sure enough, the three officials stared at Shi Kefa in disbelief, their faces were full of excitement, as if they heard that Nanming's army had won a big battle, they asked Shi Kefa with their eyes, did they mean true or false, and was the news reliable?

It turned out that these people had always hated the Peasant Army, and when they mentioned Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they hated them so much that they hated them like old plaster. It was just that they didn't expect that the unstoppable Dashun Army would be defeated so quickly. I went there in a hurry, you know, they occupied Beijing aggressively two months ago and controlled half of China, and now they are defeated if they say they are defeated?Therefore, when Shi Kefa said this, he was surprised and even a little unbelievable.

But they are still willing to accept this news from the bottom of their hearts. If nothing else, does Shi Kefa dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor?Therefore, they had no reason to be unhappy when they heard the news of Li Zijun's disastrous defeat.

During the war years, the news was blocked, and the northern and southern capitals were far apart, and because the capital of the Ming Dynasty was taken over by others more than two months ago, the survivors ran to the southeast corner of the south of the Yangtze River to live on their last days, where what happened more than a month ago It's sad that they're only now hearing about it.

What's even more tragic is that these civil and military officials still don't know that Wu Sangui has become a shameful traitor when he became a confidante in a rage. Eight Banners Army.

Seeing that the three colleagues looked at him like this, Shi Kefa felt a sense of accomplishment and superiority, and continued, shaking his head, "Your Majesty, I think that we should reward Wu Sangui's troops, encourage the soldiers of the three armies, and let them feel the majesty of the emperor's grace. Come and pay homage to His Majesty after killing the intruders..."
