Chapter 108: The Prince Case and the Concubine Tong Case
Ruan Dacheng, who was sitting at the bottom of him, was a hundred in favor of this: "Yes, it should be done like this, what should the four towns in Jiangbei do with Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing so nonsense?" ”
It's just that Yang Longyou on the other side has some different opinions: "It's better not to force Liu Yongxi and Xing to be anxious first, now that the Tong Concubine case and the Prince case are so intense, if Donglin pins his hopes on Xiao Chengyibo, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles......"
For the current imperial court, although the tens of thousands of troops of Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing are only more than 200 miles away from Nanjing, they are not the real henchmen of the imperial court, and the real henchmen are in the "Prince Case" and the "Tong Concubine Case".
Originally, the prince case and the concubine case were not a big deal, Ma Shiying estimated that the young man who claimed to be the crown prince and the monk of Great Compassion were both standard parallel goods, but the concubine Tong who claimed to be the stepconcubine of Hongguang had some credibility, but from the perspective of Emperor Hongguang, this concubine must be an impostor.
But because the Hongguang small court has made all the mistakes for more than half a year, so the truth of the prince has become a standard political issue, although the court has countless evidence to prove that the prince is an impostor, but those gentlemen who are dissatisfied with the court have a hundred reasons to prove that this is the real crown prince.
This is not only a comprehensive counterattack by the people in Donglin, but also a carnival of all those who are dissatisfied with the small court of Hongguang, although Ma Shiying and other ministers have tried every way, but they just can't suppress the discussion of the government and the opposition, and even many middle and high-level officials have been coerced in, so that in order to calm these voices, the court has to decide to invite the "prince" and "concubine" to Nanjing to argue the truth or falsehood, even if the Hongguang emperor has repeatedly reiterated that the concubine is an impostor, it will not help.
One of the simplest examples is that the authenticity of Concubine Tong is irrelevant, but the "heroes" who sent Concubine Tong to Beijing are Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, and Liu Liangzuo, the governor of Guangchangbo, and now these two "heroes" are fully supporting Concubine Tong.
Yue Qijie is Ma Shilin's brother-in-law, he said in a private message that although this concubine is a folk woman who is vulgar and rude, she told a lot of details about King Fu's trouble, and her credibility is very high, but since it is his brother-in-law, Ma Shiying has countless ways to make Yue Qijie change his words, but Guangchangbo Liu Liangzuo is a big trouble.
This warlord regarded Concubine Tong as his number one battle achievement, and was bent on taking this opportunity to borrow another step, so he was particularly tough on this issue, and the slightest mishandling could lead to a mutiny.
And the prince case is even more troublesome, after all, King Fu was established by Queen Zhang of Yi'an, and Queen Zhang and King Fu were already well known for the three chapters of the covenant, but the three chapters of the covenant have not even been complied with by King Fu until now, not only with the Qing State to negotiate peace, but also in Suzhou, Hangzhou wantonly elected concubines to alarm the people, as for the things in the cup has not stopped for a day, in this case, the people hope that there will be a virtuous crown prince to replace the immoral Hongguang Emperor.
Not only did the gentleman of Donglin think like this, but even Lu Zhenfei, a hero who made a decision, went to Jinhua to meet Empress Zhang, hoping that she could stand up and establish a new monarch, and Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao were even more sloppy every day, but the letter not only asked to ensure the absolute safety of this "prince", but also scolded Ma Shiying as a traitor, and even prepared to raise troops in Jingnan.
Compared with Zuo Liangyu, He Tengjiao, and Liu Liangzuo, although Liu Liangxi has been messing around, things are well controlled, and Ma Shiying feels that he will have to borrow Liu Yongxi's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the future: "Empress Zhang is well aware of the righteousness, and Xiao Chengyi Bo also knows that things are proportionate, and he has not been in the same stream with Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao, this matter should indeed be discussed in the long run!" ”
But Ruan Dacheng's opinion is completely different from Ma Shiying: "It is precisely because Xiao Chengyi Bo is not the same as Zuo Liangyu, He Tengjiao and the like, so we must try to be as restrained as possible in the supply of food and salary, otherwise he can know what is right and wrong when we really want to win Chengyi Bo!" ”
Although Liu Kongzhao has been promoted to the Marquis of Sincerity because of his decision-making, Ruan Dacheng is still used to calling him Sincerity Bo.
Yang Longyou couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to actually prepare to make a move on Liu Kongzhao: "Brother Yuanhai, this matter is not appropriate, right?" Liu Kongzhao has always been quite reliable! ”
Liu Kongzhao not only acted reliably, but also sent Ma Shiying into the cabinet, and Ruan Dacheng's comeback Liu Kongzhao also made a lot of efforts, and he is Ruan Dacheng, Yang Longyou, and Ma Shiying are all old friends in the real sense, and it is a little inappropriate to transfer Liu Kongzhao out of Nanjing City, and now Ruan Dacheng seems to be too much to prepare Liu Kongzhao.
If you really want to take down Liu Kongzhao, I am afraid that it will trigger a chain reaction in the two directions of Jinhua and Jiangdu, but Ruan Dacheng did not put his friendship with Chengyi Bofu in the bottom of his heart: "I know that Ma Xiangguo is compassionate, so I must have a thunderbolt method, and at this point today, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I can only first wronged Chengyi Bo, otherwise you and I will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Yang Longyou just wanted to speak, but Ma Shiying felt that Ruan Dacheng's words were very reasonable: "This is indeed the case, and we are also for the long-term consideration of the Sincere Bofu, since the Admiral Caojiang, Brother Kong Zhao has not had a good rest, so let him enjoy more happiness in Beijing!" ”
Speaking of this, Ma Shiying said one more sentence: "And it won't be wronged Liu Kongzhao, the Liu family in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years has been just a sincere uncle, and now Liu Kongzhao has not only been promoted to the sincerity of the Hou, but also will be promoted to the Duke of Cheng soon, how can he be satisfied!" ”
Seeing that Ma Shiying had made up his mind, Yang Longyou could only change his position: "Since Xiangguo said so, then let Chengguo be satisfied, don't wronged him!" ”
Ma Shiying glanced at Yang Longyou a few more times and finally said: "There is one more thing to grieve Wen Cong, Your Majesty means to let Lizhen enter the palace as the queen mother, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I have already helped Yuanhai agree!" ”
Yang Longyou was so frightened by this sudden attack that he jumped up, the reason why Ruan Dacheng got the full support of Ma Shiying, the Guizhou Township Party, was because his daughter Ruan Lizhen had a marriage contract with Yang Longyou's youngest son Yang Zuolin, but no one expected Ruan Dacheng to immediately regret his marriage and prepare to send Ruan Lizhen to the palace.
Yang Longyou felt that he had swallowed a cup of bitter wine for more than ten years, but since this was a decision made by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng together, and it was beneficial to the Guizhou Township Party, he could only continue to endure the humiliation: "If this matter spreads, I'm afraid those officials will make trouble again." ”
