Chapter Ninety-Three: The Next Means

Ma Cheng sighed when he heard Ruan Dacheng say this, and had no choice but to say: "Uncle, the biggest difference between you and the Donglin Party is your name!" ”

What is Ruan Dacheng when he hears this, who is not famous in this world, is Ruan Dacheng himself desperately sorting out the opera? Isn't it also for a name!

Ma Cheng saw Ruan Dacheng's appearance and knew that this old guy didn't understand, so he had no choice but to explain: "Uncle, the name that the Donglin Party needs is different from yours!" You are already a eunuch, and your name is already stinky, but the Donglin Party is different, they still need to clear their name! ”

Ma Cheng pointed at the monk and scolded Ruan Dacheng, who was bald and donkey, and jumped up, but Ma Cheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, you see that since the Donglin Party needs to be famous, then we will destroy their reputation and let the people of the world see what kind of goods these Donglin Parties are." ”

Ruan Dacheng thought about it, this was a good idea, the Donglin Party guys had always prided themselves as righteous people, and if they could dismantle their hypocritical masks, they could be ruined. But this kind of thing takes time, Ruan Dacheng can't wait to kill the Donglin Party now, and he can wait there.

"Virtuous nephew, this plan is feasible, but it takes time, and your father and old man can't afford to wait!"

Ma Cheng couldn't help but secretly curse when he heard Ruan Dacheng say this, what do you have to do with time, can't you just scold?

"Uncle, do you think this will work, tomorrow you will shoot directly at Zhang Shenyan, what kind of dusty steaming mother, bullying brother and sister-in-law, write everything to him, and then find a few ministers to scold Zhang Shenyan at the court meeting, I don't believe that Zhang Shenyan still has the face to stay in the court?"

Ruan Dacheng's face turned green when he heard Ma Cheng's next move, this Ma Cheng is too unhuman, and this kind of immoral means can be thought of. However, Ruan Dacheng thought about it and thought that it was a good idea, Zhang Shenyan was a Confucian scholar, and if he really wanted to do something to pick up ashes, it would be really ruined.

Ruan Dacheng asked hesitantly: "But virtuous nephew, this kind of thing is a private matter, and the old man can't speculate out of thin air without evidence." ”

"Oh uncle, this kind of thing is originally to splash dirty water, so what kind of evidence does it matter? Uncle, you are an opera, so you don't need to be taught by your nephew to make up these things. In addition to these, there are some secret things about the Donglin Party cadres, what story Zhang Shenyan and his daughter-in-law have to say! Gao Hongtu and his sister-in-law practiced the old man's cart and Guanyin grinding the mirror! Lu Daqi's younger brother was born to his steaming mother back then! The people are most interested in this thing, as long as it spreads, the little nephew doesn't believe that those righteous people can still have the face to stay? (Don't think I'm making it up, in history, Ruan Dacheng used the matter of picking up ashes to drive Jiang Yueguang back to his hometown, as for whether it's true, I don't know!) )

Ruan Dacheng saw that Ma Cheng said happily and foaming at the mouth, and Ruan Dacheng, who was frightened, was glad that he and this guy's father were in an alliance relationship, or he didn't know how to arrange himself according to this guy's means.

The more Ma Cheng talked, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but tell the scenes in the later Japanese love action movies, what brothers and sisters, infidelity, stepmother, husband, imprisonment, nursing, etc., heard that Ruan Dacheng, a veteran in the flowers, was stunned. In the end, Ruan Dacheng couldn't listen anymore, interrupted Ma Cheng and said, "Okay, okay, these are enough!" ”

Ma Cheng was very unhappy that Dao Xing's head was interrupted, but Ruan Dacheng was also his uncle no matter how he said it, so Ma Cheng calmed down, and then arched his hand and said, "Uncle, do you think this is feasible?" ”

What else can Ruan Dacheng say, don't say that the Donglin Party as a clear stream, even Ruan Dacheng, who was born in the Eunuch Party, is embarrassed to do it, after all, Ruan Dacheng still has face.

"Good nephew, the old man will contact the officials in the past few days, and wait for the court meeting to launch against Donglin!"

Ma Cheng heard Ruan Dacheng say this, got up and arched his hand: "In this case, the little nephew is waiting for the good news from his uncle!" After speaking, Ma Cheng went out to find the officials of the Ministry of War to get the weapon map.

Ruan Dacheng sat in the room, although he felt that Ma Cheng's idea was dirty, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. The Donglin Party group called themselves upright men and gentlemen, and they used to bully themselves from the moral high ground, but now they are fighting poison with poison and letting Shilin see what kind of virtue they are.

Thinking of this, Ruan Dacheng picked up a pen and paper and worked hard to write, in addition to preparing a recital for the court meeting in a few days, he also had to write letters to a few friends, asking them to pull their brothers at a critical moment.

Ruan Dacheng was born in Donglin, and has been mixed in Nanzhili Shilin all the year round, although his character is not very good, but there are still a few fox friends and dog friends, such as the original Sichuan governor Tian Yang, the current household servant Zhang Youyu, Shandong Governor Guo Jingchang and so on, these officials are either unwillingly criminal officials, or they are eunuchs who were demoted because of the reverse case in the first year of Chongzhen, and there are non-Donglin party officials who are not very good in Nanjing. These people are all potential opponents of the Donglin Party, but Ma Shiying is an outsider and does not know about these people.

But Ruan Dacheng is different, Ruan Dacheng was born in Nanzhili, Zhongju is in Nanzhili, and he has lived in Nanzhili for more than ten years after being dismissed, so he knows the details of the Donglin Party. Ma Shiying's release of Ruan Dacheng also took a fancy to him, and he could win over some officials to deal with the Donglin Party.

Ruan Dacheng wrote several letters, met with a few close friends, and finally started on June 26.

The court meeting on the 26th was originally very simple, the emperor had to agree with the courtiers on the amount of food and salary to be given to the officers and soldiers of Jiangbei. Knowing that Gao Hongtu, the head of the household, had not spoken yet, Liu Kongzhao, the first to stand up and fire.

Liu Kongzhao was originally a nobleman, and he was not qualified to speak on this occasion, but Liu Kongzhao was the first among the nobles to stand up and support Zhu Yousong as emperor, so he had a lot of weight in the emperor's heart, and Liu Kongzhao is now the governor of Caojiang, so he has the qualifications to speak at the cabinet meeting.

Liu Kongzhao is aiming at Zhang Shenyan, the boss of the Donglin Party, Liu Kongzhao is very simple, now Beijing is in the hands of thieves, most of the doctors in the north have surrendered to Li Zicheng, and now they have switched to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who are these people? It's all your Donglin Party! Zhang Shenyan: Aren't you responsible as the boss of the Donglin Party? And you, Zhang Shenyan, was born in the fifth year of Wanli, and now you are sixty-nine years old, and you are still in love with the power position at a young age and do not go, what do you want to do? Do you want to be Yan Song?

Although Liu Kongzhao has no culture, this scolding completely hit Zhang Shenyan's bones, and the scolded Zhang Shenyan's eyes turned black for a while, so he died on the spot.

Of course, although Liu Kongzhao scolded very much, it had no effect on the Donglin Party, everyone was an official, and this kind of thing was worn out decades ago, so these people in the Donglin Party didn't pay much attention to it.

But the next step was a bit dramatic, as soon as Liu Kongzhao finished speaking, the other ministers had not spoken, and the emperor Zhu Yousong, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

"Lord Zhang is old, don't go to court if you don't have anything to do in the future, I allow Lord Zhang to work from home!"

Zhu Yousong said it very politely, but the big and small bureaucrats present knew that the emperor was ready to let Zhang Shenyan speak, but he just said it tactfully. Zhang Shenyan's face turned pale when he heard the emperor say this, the emperor said so, what else can you do? There was no way, Zhang Shenyan had to lean over, take off the official hat and put it on the ground, and invited himself.

In addition to the officials present who were sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox in the Donglin Party, the emperor's words also frightened Ma Shiying. Today, Ruan Dacheng is going to do something to the Donglin Party, and Ma Shiying also knows, but Ma Shiying didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to be able to contact the emperor, and the emperor was willing to speak for him in the end, which made Ma Shiying jealous.

Ma Shiying's recommendation of Ruan Dacheng out of the mountain originally had the idea of using him as a knife envoy and letting Ruan Dacheng fight with the Donglin Party on the surface, but Ruan Dacheng actually contacted the emperor quietly, so if he can get rid of Zhang Shenyan this time, will he be able to get rid of Ma Shiying next time?

Ma Shiying now regrets it in his heart, he knew that he might as well not recommend Ruan Dacheng at that time. But the wood has been completed, Ruan Dacheng's forces have been completed, and even Ma Shiying must deal with it carefully.

Ruan Dacheng was very happy to see that he had brought down Zhang Shenyan for the first time, and the next step was to make persistent efforts to bring down Gao Hongtu.

Gao Hongtu was born in the eleventh year of Wanli, and he is just sixty-three years old this year, and the word old cannot be used on him, but Ruan Dacheng has tricks. Under Ruan Dacheng's signal, Li Zhan, the imperial historian of the right capital, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have heard about it, and some of Gao Hongtu's family affairs have been rumored in the southern capital recently, saying that Gao Hongtu committed adultery with his widowed sister-in-law when he was young, and his nephew Gao Zhan was born to his widowed sister-in-law!" ”

As soon as Li Zhan finished speaking, there was a discussion on the main hall, everyone didn't expect Gao Hongtu to play so flamboyantly and start his sister-in-law's idea.

Gao Hongtu scolded angrily after listening to Li Zhan: "Li Zhan, you shameless villain, you actually arranged Gao for promotion!" ”

As soon as Gao Hongtu finished speaking with his deputy, Zhang Youyu, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department, did not respect His Majesty's holy decree, and did not collect the silver of Fujian and Zhejiang on time, and now the household department is short of 2.6 million taels of silver!" ”

What Li Zhan said just now can be said to be lace news, anyway, these Mrs. Shi looked like dogs, and they did a lot of things to steal their sisters-in-law behind their backs. Therefore, what Li Zhan said could only disgust Gao Hongtu for a while, and it had no substantive impact, but what Zhang Youyu said was terrible.

After Zhu Yousong came to power, in order to reward the four towns in Jiangbei, in addition to giving them land and the right to appoint officials, he also promised to give them a large amount of military salaries. The four towns in Jiangbei plus Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang, the five families asked for a total of 6.4 million taels of silver in military salaries, and there was no way for Zhu Yousong to raise it as long as he ordered the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to raise it. However, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have been transfused for the north for eighteen years since the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the gentry in the provinces south of the Yangtze River originally thought that the north was occupied by Li Zicheng, and now they don't have to collect the three major salaries! But I didn't expect the imperial court to issue an order, in addition to the normal collection of the three major salaries, seven cents of natural silver would be levied in each mu of land.

At this time, the entire Jiangnan gentry stopped working, and the Donglin Party was the representative of the Jiangnan gentry, and Gao Hongtu did not want to force the expropriation of food and wages to cause a popular uprising, so he ordered the following to relax the intensity of the levy. Gao Hongtu thought very well, for the sake of the people in Jiangnan to alleviate the difficulties, but now it has become a crime.
