"Chitose Lord, the minister is really wronged! Where is the eunuch party? Chen is a disciple of Mr. Jingyi (Gao Panlong), a fellow villager of Mr. Fuqiu (Zuo Guangdou), and has always been listed in Donglin. In "Donglin Point General Record", he is nicknamed 'Unblocked'. It was only in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, because of the time when the replenishment was in the middle of the matter, there was a dispute within Donglin, and Mr. Jingyi and Mr. Fuqiu insisted on their own words...... The minister was supposed to make up for the department, but Mr. Jingyi and Zhao Mengbai (Zhao Nanxing) asked the minister to make up the engineering department, and the six departments were the end, and letting the minister make up the engineering department was suppressing the minister. As a result, Wei Wei somehow intervened and asked the minister to make up for the clerk's department. Then the minister was erased as a eunuch, and he could only abandon his official position before he took office for a month.

Later, it was Wei Wei's advocacy that made the minister too often Shaoqing. The minister had no choice but to take up this position, but he resigned again after not long in his work, and he really didn't do anything evil! Later, Wei Wei was defeated, and the minister proposed to remove the officials who were attached to Wei Wei and Wang An (Da Jue, who had been in power four years before the Apocalypse). It can be regarded as completely offending the officials of the Donglin Party, and they are included in the reverse case......"

The one who is telling his grievances in the White Gate Pavilion is a very elegant white-faced old scholar, who is in his fifties and less than sixty years old. With a sad face, tears fell as he spoke......

This guy is Ruan Dacheng, the "anti-Qing literary and artistic worker" in Zhu Cihong's mind, and he has also been a traitor in history!

However, in the thirty years before he became a traitor, he did live a little aggrieved. He is a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and he became a minister in the early years of the Apocalypse, and he is also a recognized Donglin cadre. If he hadn't been involved in the internal strife within Donglin, he would have been a righteous gentleman admired by everyone now.

But his officialdom career turned into a nightmare step by step because of Donglin's infighting and Wei Zhongxian's intervention later.

Zhu Cihong listened to Ruan Dacheng finish telling how he became a eunuch, and asked with a smile: "Ruan Dacheng, you tell the truth to this palace...... Is there a true eunuch or not? ”

"This ......" Ruan Dacheng couldn't answer for a while, just looked at Zhu Cihong in a daze.

What does the prince's question mean?

He himself has "created" so many eunuchs, and now he still asks if there is one? Is there anything he wouldn't know?

"Tell the truth!" Zhu Cihong said gently, "This palace knows everything, but I want to hear you tell the truth!" ”

"Returning to the Chitose Lord," Ruan Dacheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "A notorious eunuch like Chen is cautiously trying to draw a line with the eunuch party, do you think there is a real eunuch party?" ”

"Huh." Zhu Cihong smiled, noncommittal.

Ruan Dacheng said again: "Of course there are officials who go through the way of eunuchs in order to get in...... When Wei Gelding was most proud, there were many officials who were superficially attached to him. However, there are great doubts about whether these officials are real eunuchs. ”

"Hehe......"

Ruan Dacheng glanced at the expressionless prince and sighed: "Actually, everyone knows during the Apocalypse that behind Wei Wei is actually the first emperor, the so-called eunuch party, it may be more appropriate to say that they are the imperial party." However, it is difficult for them to be called a party, because they are only for the sake of becoming officials, and there is no successor.

If it weren't for this, after the death of the first emperor, how could the officials who were attached to Wei Rebellion fall apart so quickly? This Wei rebellious...... It's just a lackey who does things for the first emperor.

And the name of this eunuch party is nothing more than the notoriety of the Donglin party members to smear the officials of the imperial party! ”

What he said is also true. Zhu Cihong has encountered many "successors of Donglin", but he has never heard of "successors of the eunuch party". Even in the years when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the so-called eunuchs were all officials, and it was very rare for people who were enrolled in the school to raise people and show off their talents to claim to be eunuchs - not a single one!

In other words, the "eunuch party" has no foundation at all, and there are no disciples. Dingtian is a clique of bureaucracy, and it does not have the social influence of the Donglin Party at all.

If it weren't for the emperor's support, they would have collapsed early in the morning......

This is also why Zhu Cihong started from Dagukou, and he wanted to usurp the leadership of the Donglin Party step by step without considering leading the eunuch party - because there was no eunuch party at all! There may have been a few fallen officials who were labeled as eunuchs, but they were not partisans at all, had little political activity, and were all eating rice in their hometowns.

Therefore, if he wants to usurp the party and seize power, he can only find Donglin, not usurp the party.

Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded: "It's still the gentlemen of Donglin who are smart...... The notoriety of a eunuch is intimidating!

Therefore, this palace can only be a prince of Donglin! ”

Ruan Dacheng said: No matter how high Donglin is, it is not as tall as you...... It's all about to be usurped by you, if your uncle knows how to do this, why did he die at a young age?

"Jizhi," Zhu Cihong called Ruan Dacheng's name, "Do you want to list Donglin again?" ”

Of course Ruan Dacheng thought about it...... But how can it be so easy? He had spent a lot of money for the restoration of Zhou Yanru, a member of the Donglin Party, and hoped to return to Donglin with this. But in the end, it was failed because there were too many people who opposed it within Donglin, so Zhou Yanru could only repay him by promoting his friend Ma Shiying.

Zhu Cihong knew Ruan Dacheng's concerns, so he smiled and said: "Jizhi, I am not Zhou Yanru, I have a way to firmly control the Donglin Party!" ”

A Donglin party firmly controlled by the crown prince? Ruan Dacheng said: If this is the case, the Donglin Party will be no different from the Eunuch Party......

Zhu Cihong said: "Jizhi, do you know what is the most powerful thing in the Donglin Party?" ”

"Plain and dull."

Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's bragging, rumors, and slander!" boasted that they were gentlemen, spread rumors that their father was a faint monarch, and slandered dissident officials as eunuchs...... Amazing! These people know the true meaning of propaganda, do you know what the true meaning of propaganda is? ”

"I don't know ......"

Propaganda is a word that has only become popular in modern times, and although it was used before, it did not mean that later.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "That is, he is a good person, and the enemy is a bad person!" And to say that everybody believes...... There are many means of propaganda, and the gathering of Donglin gentlemen is just one of them. Jizhi, the opera you are good at can also be used for publicity!

Why don't you help Bengong write a few operas that expose the evil deeds of the Tartars, so that the people of the southeast can recognize the true face of the Tartars as soon as possible! When everyone recognizes that Tartar is a bad person, they will naturally know that you are a good person, and then I will be able to use you greatly. ”

"This ......" Ruan Dacheng thought for a moment and nodded, "The minister can go and write...... Is it written that the Tartars are going to dig up the grave of the saint? ”

"This is just one of them," Zhu Cihong said, "but also to write the story of the Tatar circle occupying the land of the Han people in Beizhili, the story of forcibly seizing the houses of the people in Beijing, and the story of forcing the Han people in Beizhili to become slaves and driving hundreds of thousands of people away so that they all starved!"

In addition, it is necessary to write the story of the Tartar massacre of the city and the murder of people, the slaughter of Liaoyang, the slaughter of Shenyang, the slaughter of Liaodong, the slaughter of Liaoxi, the slaughter of Jinzhou, the slaughter of Jinan, the slaughter of Sanhe, and the slaughter of Changping......

By the way, I also want to write about how the civil officials who stayed in Beijing to take refuge in the Tartars were humiliated, how they shaved their hair and became easy to obey, how they became slaves, and how they provided their wives and daughters to the Tartar generals and soldiers!

In short, you must write that Tartar is worse than demons and monsters, more evil, and more shameless!

What do you think? Jizhi, would you write this? Can you write that much?

Feed! Ruan Jizhi! What are you thinking? ”

Ruan Dacheng was obviously frightened by Zhu Cihong's description, and was stunned for a while, and when he heard Zhu Cihong calling loudly, he stammered and asked, "Qian, Chitose Master, is Tartar really that bad?" ”

"Of course! Tartar is the worst......" Zhu Cihong said, "And this palace has always had one thing to say and two to say, and it will never slander others!" In a few days, the Tartar mission arrives in Nanjing, and you will know how bad they are! ”

"The Tartars' Mission?" Ruan Dacheng had heard a little, "Is it the mission led by Sun Zhiqi?" ”

"yes!" Zhu Cihong nodded, "They will be coming to Nanjing soon!" When the time comes, you will ask for yourself, and you will know how bad the tartar is! ”
