Chapter 645. There is no room for softness in party contention
In the seventh hour of the coup, the turmoil continued.
It is a terrible scene, the ruling heart of 80 million people in the seven southern provinces was blocked by more than 10,000 scholars, the central core was paralyzed for a whole day, and the government decree did not leave the palace.
The noise is getting louder and louder, Zhu Yousong's round and bulging fat face has also become like a bun that has just come out of the pot, shiny and white, and big drops of sweat beads continue to drip down on his forehead, as an emperor, Emperor Hongguang's qi cultivation kung fu is obviously too poor, at this time he actually stood up from the dragon chair, in front of the ministers, kept pacing back and forth.
In the court, the expressions of the ministers also became quite exciting, Ma Shiying was full of anxiety and anger, Ruan Dacheng was immersed in deep fear, and the officials and henchmen who were closer to them were also like earth, Donglin faction, more than 100 people were silent, surprisingly, regardless of Qian Qianyi or Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang did not take the opportunity to fall into the well and remained silent.
Among them, the most embarrassing thing is Shi Kefa, a scholar of Dongge University, who has lost the trust of Emperor Hongguang, and the Yangzhou peace bill has been regarded as a traitor by the Donglin people, and both sides have lost their influence, Shi Kefa knows the danger of this situation too well, but he is powerless to change!
Seeing that the sun is in the west, it seems that the hundred officials will be trapped in the palace by the scholars tonight, and finally, after a dull day, Zuo Zhongyun Wangtu, whose status is close to neutrality, spoke out, this old guy is almost eighty years old, and the trembling old waist pole stood up, and knelt down with a wat board.
"Your Majesty, the ancient sage cloud, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death, because the courtiers are trapped in the danger of the lord and the king, and it is for the unrighteous ........"
"Lord Wang, what do you mean is to send the Ma Pavilion Department and this official to those rebellious ministers and thieves?"
Ruan Dacheng immediately jumped up like he had a hot buttocks, and roared with his teeth bared as if he was about to bite, and these words immediately attracted Ma Shiying's murderous eyes, but Lao Wang Tu was not angry at all, and he didn't even change his emotions, just like an old turtle, he shook his head slowly.
"Your Majesty, what the old minister means, since the scholars are besieging Lord Ma and Lord Ruan, then send the Han general to send the two adults back to their homes first, there is no goal, these scholars will naturally disperse, and the siege of Your Majesty will be lifted, and when the time comes, then send the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to arrest and try the first evildoer, what does Your Majesty think?"
A pair of eyes converged on Wang Tu in an instant, and Ruan Dacheng's heart couldn't help but chuckle.
Donglin's killer move is here!
It's a good thing to say, protecting the two of them is actually just to transfer them away, and the emperor is between their Donglin hostage, and when the time comes, there will be no two of their own arguments, and it's not a crime that any dirty water can be poured on themselves?
However, the target he solicited was not himself, but Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, even if he and Ma Shiying were in power, it was still the emperor who ruled everything, and at this time, Zhu Yousong was obviously already a frightened bird.
"Your Majesty, give Weichen some more time, just a group of scholars! Half an hour in hand! In half an hour, the minister will be able to clear the riot! ”
In the end, he tried to work hard, Ruan Dacheng was sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily, however, Zhu Yousong obviously didn't have the patience anymore.
"Ruan Shangshu's ability, I naturally don't doubt it, but after all, these scholars are also pillars of the country, and it is not appropriate to kill at every turn, so let's deal with it as Lord Wang Tu said!"
Anyone can say beautiful words, but in terms of attitude, Zhu Yousong is already impatient, and before he has time to defend Ruan Dacheng, he has already shouted outside the door: "Come on, send Mr. Ma and Ruan Shangshu out of the palace to each other, be sure to take good care of them, lose a hair, I want your head!" ”
The matter has come to this point, it is useless to resist, following Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng has no choice but to kowtow to receive his life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for complying with the order!"
........
There was no electric light in these years, at five o'clock, the night of the Nanjing Imperial Palace had already lit up, behind him, more than 20 forbidden soldiers were carefully protected on the left and right, while walking, Ruan Dacheng looked back at the Dezheng Hall that had been sleepy for a day, had just put on the candles, and the lights were flickering, gritting his teeth with hatred, he suddenly untied the cloth bag hanging around his waist.
A large strip of Dongjiang soft Chinese red lockets were revealed in front of the sergeants who sent each other, it is estimated that even Mao Jue did not expect how popular he was to bring this devil from the afterlife, and the Nanjing Forbidden Army guarding it obviously squirmed up and down his throat, and asked greedily.
"Lord Ruan, who are you?"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, the old man is just a mouthful, he is addicted to smoking! Anyway, it's not too late to get out of the palace, come, one person and one bag, a few, can you help the old man find a secluded place? ”
"Lord Ruan!"
Ma Shiying was obviously anxious and shouted dissatisfiedly, but then Ruan Dacheng hurriedly glanced at him. Being aroused by this hot China at hand, the two Han generals who were in charge of sending each other discussed it slightly, and immediately nodded in approval.
"Two adults, please!"
Because they want to go to the side door to avoid the scholars who besiege the main gate, it is to provide convenience, the dilapidated Nanjing Forbidden Palace has a lot of palaces that have been in disrepair for a long time, and they don't care about a few more cigarette butts, and they randomly found a side hall that has not yet been repaired.
However, Ma Shiying stayed away from these things, and pushed away the cigarette a little impatiently, and he asked hurriedly: "Lord Ruan, 100,000 urgent!" You still have the mind to move these playthings Shangzhi on this beard! ”
"It's because 100,000 people are in a hurry that they need to smoke a cigarette and calm down!"
took a heavy inhale, and immediately spit it out in enjoyment, the bright light of the fireworks head reflected Ruan Dacheng's fat face full of oil and sweat, his fingers gently dusted off the cigarette ashes, and he said in a low and hurried voice: "Brother Ma!" The big seal of the military department was secretly taken back to the house by the elder brother, and when I returned to the house, I immediately drafted the official defense, brother, you are tired tonight, immediately go to Stone City to find Liu Liangzuo to transfer troops, and enter the palace Qingjun side! ”
"Lord Ruan, are you crazy? Privately transferred troops into Beijing, is this a rebellion? ”
"Master Ma, your and I are all on this line! Don't you understand? Today, Zhang Pu's bastard gathered to make trouble, and the spearhead was pointing at you and me! Those bastards in Donglin are about to seize power! ”
The cigarette butt was thrown directly halfway, lowering his voice, and Ruan Dacheng roared anxiously.
"This bureau is set up today just to force you and me out of the emperor's side, if the old man is not mistaken, Qian Qianyi's bastards have already begun to force the palace! Now our advantage is only the Beifu soldiers, leading the troops to kill back, in Qian Qianyi Wang Duo a few bastards, we still have a way to live, otherwise, there is a dead end, and it is the disaster of the whole clan!! ”
When welcoming King Fu, Ma Shiying behaved decisively, but the biggest weakness of his character was to miss the old feelings, he originally belonged to the Donglin faction politically, but in the internal struggle of Donglin, he was framed for corruption and assigned to Guizhou, or Ruan Dacheng took the silver to help him dredge up the relationship, so he returned from exile.
If it is a mature politician, these enmities will be put aside for the time being, and choose to cooperate with the most powerful Donglin Party and gain a firm foothold, but Ma Shiying is impatient to pull Ruan Dacheng up again when he is not stable.
And he's not ruthless enough! With the support of the four towns of Jiangbei in history, he still connived at many Donglin veterans to climb to high positions, such as Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu, if it weren't for the aggressive soldiers of the Qing army that made many Donglin veterans hang up their crowns and flee, it is really a question whether he, the first auxiliary scholar, can sit firmly!
At this time, his Achilles' heel broke out, and in the face of the dynasty to which he was loyal, it was too difficult for him to hold high the anti-flag! After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head solemnly.
"Not really! After all, you and I don't have any guilt, and now that the court is troubled, do Qian Qianyi and others dare to really tear their faces? ”
"My Ma Yao grass! It's not a question of daring or not, they've already started to get started! ”
Once again, he was anxious, Ruan Dacheng shouted hurriedly, but at this time, the Han general at the door poked his head out slightly: "Lord Ruan, Lord Ma, it's not too early, please hurry up!" ”
"Got it, I'll take this bite!"
With a kind look of agreement, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead, Ruan Dacheng shouted fiercely and hurriedly: "Remember, go back to the house and bring the family soldiers to come to the old brother immediately!" You and I have two mansions, plus dozens of colleagues, and thousands of lives, all in Yaocao's thoughts! ”
Ma Shiying was silent.
Out of the palace gate, before parting, Ruan Dacheng once again solemnly showed his eyes, and saw Ma Shiying's figure disappear into the night, and then he hurriedly returned to the palace in Nanjing.
In these years, the Jiangnan family is so powerful, every family has private soldiers, Ruan Dacheng is no exception, or he has been at ease in Nanjing for so many years as a eunuch, he would have been killed, and more than 100 servants in the whole house were issued weapons and armor, and the whole was mobilized.
Holding this Guan Wen while blowing the ink dry, Ruan Dacheng was anxious at the door of the house waiting for Ma Shiying's visit, however, one stick of incense was burned, three sticks of incense were burned, five incense sticks were burned, and Ma Shiying's tall and thin figure was still not seen, and the sixth incense was just about to be lit, but Ruan Dacheng stretched out his hand to stop the house slave, and immediately stretched out his hand, threw the Guan Fang that had just been written directly into the brazier, and sighed with his head high.
"Ma Yaocao misunderstood me! Ma Yaocao made a mistake! ”
"Let each room be cleaned up softly, bring what you can bring, throw away what you can't, and take whatever the maids and servants want, everyone disperses quickly!"
shouted at the top of his voice, Ruan Dacheng personally carried the torch into the study, and in an instant, the place where he wrote the three-fold play was full of fire, and the servants and maids were like the end of the world, packed up some things and turned around and ran.
At this end, there was still a pungent smell of burning paper in the air, at the door of the mansion, a rush of footsteps had already come, under the light of the torch, Luo Zhen was relying on his prosthetic leg, and kicked open the door of the Ruan Mansion with a bang, but in addition to the messiness of the place, there was only a chair at the door, and on the chair, the jade belt of the official uniform of the Shangshu and the Shangshu seal of the military department were neatly stacked there.
"The old guy is a fast runner!"
Snorted coldly, he didn't even enter the mansion gate, Luo Zhen waved his torch violently again, and shouted loudly: "Go to the mansion of Sincerity Bo Liu Kongzhao, don't let one go!" ”
After the hustle and bustle of the day, Yingtian City in the night seemed to be more bloody and hidden, and in the streets and alleys, the guards with torches shuttled like fire dragons, and the once brilliant Zhumen Jiadi burst open in their rude smashing.
It's going to be a sleepless night!
