Chapter 126: Qu Shiyun
Chapter 126: Qu Shiyun
Guilin City.
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, what is the scenery of Guilin, at this moment, the big people in Guilin City have no heart to appreciate Guilin's landscape.
They're all struggling with the same thing.
At this moment, in a small courtyard in Guilin City, Hu Tang was pacing back and forth, holding a folding fan in his hand, knocking on it again and again.
Hu Tang has been coming to Guilin for a while, and the news of Guilin City has all reached Hu Tang.
There has never been a secrecy system in the Ming court, and it was impossible to keep secrets when it was in Beijing, and naturally it couldn't be kept secret after arriving in Guilin.
Not long after Hu Tang came to Guilin, he collected a lot of information.
He had already put his mind at ease about his errand, because he felt that the situation here in Guilin did not need him to take care of it at all, so he naturally embraced King Yongming to the throne.
First of all, King Yongming's father is not unconnected in Guangxi.
When King Xiangui died, it was Guangxi, and when he was dying, he specially met with Qu Shiyun and entrusted King Yongming to Qu Shiyun.
Therefore, King Yongming is not without roots, at least a considerable number of officials in Guangxi and Guangdong have dealings.
Of course, if there is a relationship, they don't all have to support King Yongming. Moreover, during the Chongzhen period, the central power declined. The rebellion of King Jingjiang is a clear proof of this.
There are many people involved in the rebellion of King Jingjiang, such as Jiao Lian, who was involved, and in the end, although he made meritorious service and redeemed himself. Become a hero in quelling the rebellion of King Jingjiang.
Jiaolian's incident shows that the two localities do not recognize the Longwu regime too much.
The reason is that Longwu is not the blood of Wanli. Not Orthodox.
When Longwu was in Changsha, he also knew the inside story of the two places. What can only be completely controlled by Longwu, in fact, is Hunan, some prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, south of Wuling, and many places Longwu's orders cannot be implemented smoothly.
After Longwu's self-immolation, the Ming Dynasty had no emperor, and for this position, many people couldn't wait more than Hu Tang.
Hu Tang is just fueling the flames in the shadows, and there is no need to come forward at all.
"My lord, there is news from Guangdong, the king of Tang has ascended the throne, and the year name is Shaowu."
A plain-looking man suddenly came in and said.
The corners of Hu Tang's mouth smiled slightly, and he said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Shaowu, inherit the foundation of Longwu and only be the emperor for a few months?" ”
Shao, is the continuation, the meaning of inheritance, Wu, naturally Longwu, perhaps can also be said to be Hongwu.
"My lord," said the mediocre-looking man, "it has been determined that there will be any changes in Guilin?" ”
"No, it won't." "They're only going to be faster, because they're already riding tigers," Hu said. ”
Hu Tang saw it clearly, and there was nothing wrong with the fierce party struggle in the Ming court
It is possible to cooperate, and this partisan dispute is reflected in the struggle for position.
Historically, the Donglin Party competed with Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, and was able to lead Zuo Liangyu south, regardless of the safety of the upstream. And Ruan Dacheng can do it, he would rather let the Qing soldiers fight across the river than fall into the hands of Zuo Liangyu.
You can see it.
The situation today is no worse than it was then.
The people on both sides did not establish a position at the beginning, and did not want to express their attitude in Guangzhou, and in Shaowu's view, it was already a sign of support for King Yongming.
Heretics are more hateful than heretics, and that's it.
Shaowu's ascension to the throne will not let them stop, but let them speed up.
As Hu expected.
At this moment, Qu Shiyun's mansion was densely packed with people. Most of them are local officials in Guangxi.
Qu Shiyun closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The rest of the story is being debated.
After all, Liangguang is not Zhang Xuan's territory, and Zhang Xuan's intelligence agency in Liangguang is not so mysterious, so when this news reached Hu Tang's ears, a big official like Qu Shiyun had already gotten the news earlier than them.
"Now that the Tang King has ascended the throne in Guangdong, how should we deal with it, there must be a charter, and in a few days, the edict from Guangdong will come. Do we recognize it or not? ”
"Why don't you admit it, and now is the time." There are also sober people who said: "There is only this point left in the Ming Dynasty." If you can't cooperate sincerely, won't you be broken by the summer thieves? ”
"It's easy to say, the first emperor was also heroic, but he lost the battle of the great rivers and mountains to the Xia thief, and the Tang King had a line that was not an emperor in the first place, so what qualifications did he have to inherit the unification, and now it is just a matter of setting things right. Since ancient times, there are clouds, if the name is not right, the words are not good, and if the words are not good, the things will not be done, if you want to recover the world, you must first correct the name and sort out the top and bottom. This can be invincible. ”
"Rotten words."
When Qu Shiyun closed his eyes and had no one to control him, their remarks became more and more radical.
It even escalated to personal attacks.
In this regard, Qu Shiyun was also very helpless.
First of all, the Ming civil officials pay attention to morality, the sacred feeling of moral supremacy, even if the emperor is concerned, he doesn't do anything, let alone the boss.
Qu Shiyun estimated that when he opened his mouth, he could only alleviate one or two. couldn't solve the contradiction, so he simply didn't speak.
Secondly, Qu Shiyun also had doubts in his heart.
He wasn't sure where to go.
Anyone can say the truth, but when the real truth falls on you, you will know the pain of the skin.
As a student of Qian Qianyi, he can be regarded as a leader in the Donglin lineage, and he should still have a sense of the overall situation.
Of course, he knew that the current situation in Daming was extremely bad. The best way is to establish a center, gather the strength of the two broads, and not mention the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, but to keep the two
Guang, let the Ming Dynasty gain a firm foothold in the land of Tiannan, and when the East Captives go south, they will go north again and restore the south of the Yangtze River.
But let him bow his head to Shaowu's side, but he can't.
He is under one person and above ten thousand people, although there are many people who want to support King Yongming.
But without Qu Shiyun's nod, it would have been impossible at all.
At this point, he is still confident.
Supporting the Yongming King, he is the important minister under the Yongming throne, and it is possible to be the first assistant. I don't dare to say that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and at least I want to make a difference, but I can.
But on Shaowu's side, even if he was tied up, he sent King Yongming to Guangzhou and obeyed the Shaowu regime.
Can Shaowu's side really rest assured of him?
Qu Shiyun thought to himself, it was absolutely impossible. Even if it is not liquidated, it is better to idle for a period of time before it can be reused.
Now the situation of Daming can withstand a while.
Qu Shiyun was afraid, and before he could recover again, Daming would be gone.
And pinning his hopes on people like Ding Chukui, Qu Shiyun is not at ease. In his opinion, Ding Chukui is capable or not, but the word greed is engraved on his brain.
There is not much time in Guangzhou, and there is not much in terms of military and political achievements, but I heard that millions of furniture have already been praised.
The people of the two provinces are full of complaints.
Can such a person shoulder the role of supporting the building to the collapse and turning the tide of the tide?
Of course not.
Qu Shiyun has this sense of mission deep in his heart, if he does not have this sense of mission, Qian Qianyi has come to the book many times to recruit surrender, Qu Shiyun does not look at it, and directly says to the person who sent the letter: "My teacher is dead." ”
Treat Qian Qianyi as a dead man.
Otherwise, with his ability and Qian Qianyi's power in Great Xia, as long as he defected to the Xia Dynasty, it would be easy to rise step by step and become a member of the Great Xia Cabinet, maybe after a few years of training, he would become a member of the Great Xia cabinet.
Many people feel that they are doing the wrong thing for the right goal, but they are actually doing it as a last resort.
It's just that only they know whether they have to do it or whether they are reluctant to do so.
Suddenly, someone walked in softly and said a few words in Qu Shiyun's ear, Qu Shiyun opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "Okay." ”
Qu Shiyun said a word, and these people all stopped and listened to Qu Shiyun.
Qu Shiyun said: "You are tired, let's rest for a while." With that, he got up and walked inside.
For a while, everyone talked about it, and they didn't know what it was.
Qu Shiyun came to the inner room, but there was a person who had been waiting here for a long time, and said, "Meet Qu Gong." ”
Qu Shiyun knew this person, it was none other than Ma Jixiang, who was born in Jinyiwei. That is, the brocade guards who received the Yongming King outside the city of Yongzhou.
