Chapter 93 Leaving Hangzhou, when will I see you again
The Hongguang Dynasty fell in just one year, and as courtiers who had been in charge, as long as they were not fools, they would reflect in their hearts, but although they had gained in their hearts, they were unwilling to admit their mistakes.
Whether it is Donglin, who has the right to speak, or Ma and Ruan, who have wandered to Zhejiang Province, they are just instinctively shirking their responsibilities, so as not to leave an infamy, so as not to affect their ********, so Ma and Ruan said that Donglin was a party dispute, colluding with Zuozhen, resulting in the overthrow of the imperial court, and Donglin scolded the traitorous party for messing with the country, the emperor was mediocre, and Qian Qianyi even put the blame on the Jingling faction, which was a ridiculous scene.
Why did the imperial court overturn, can the people who are ministers not know?
"Huang Zhangpu Collection" records that when Huang Daozhou saw King Lu, he asked: "Liu Zongzhou is an old man in Jiangdong, how can he not be called?" His Royal Highness Yun: "Ma Fu is afraid that the Liu family will come and divide the portal." ”
Ma Shiying's refusal to allow Lu Fan to recruit Liu Zongzhou into the court can be regarded as his seizure of power, and it can also be considered that he hated the party strife during the Hongguang Dynasty and did not want to form a constraint in the court, so he could achieve nothing.
This reflection made Ma and Ruan not entangled in the matter of Wang Yan leading troops to break into the palace, but in order to maintain the authority of the central government, they still took away Wang Yan's title of right governor.
Such a punishment is insignificant to Wang Yan, he is busy receiving supplies, and then carrying the army and civilians south.
On 28 July, on the Qiantang River, bags of rice were loaded onto big boats, and groups of people helped the old and the young, carrying carts out of Hangzhou City, crossing the Qiantang River, and heading south along the coast.
After staying in Hangzhou for less than half a month, Wang Yan took 500 warships and 300,000 soldiers and civilians to Tiannan again because of the change of the situation.
Outside Hangzhou, by the Qiantang River, Zuo Maodi, Huang Daozhou and other ministers put wine for Wang Yan and said goodbye.
Guangdong in the Northern Song Dynasty was still exiled prisoners, resettlement of degraded officials, although now has been developed, but after all, it is located in Tiannan, far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to come back when you go.
"Ma Fu is keen on the policy of the main peace, but the credibility of the north is worrying, and sooner or later he will inevitably go south. Yan is in Tiannan, the whip is out of reach, Lord Zuo and the princes are in the court, and they should always be on guard against this matter. Wang Yan said to many ministers.
"Shiheng rest assured! For the sake of the Ming Sheji, the mountains and rivers of the Han family, we will definitely raise the spirit, escort the imperial court, and do not let the northern captives have a chance to take advantage of it! Zuo Maodi held Wang Yan's hand and said solemnly.
"In this way, please entrust the princes with all the things in the court!" Wang Yan saluted again.
"Shi Heng is going, don't be discouraged, when you are in Tiannan, you can pass through the place, and get the soldiers and horses. If the war resumes, it will be the time to resume, and the imperial court will inevitably recruit Shiheng to fight north and clean up the old rivers and mountains! Zuo Maodi comforted.
"The north has not been destroyed, the rivers and mountains have not been recovered, how dare Yan slack off!" Wang Yan is right.
"In this way, I will be at ease!" At this time, Zuo Maodi picked up a glass of practice wine and handed it to Wang Yan, and said with some sadness: "After many years, Shiheng has a safe journey." ”
Wang Yan took the wine glass and drank it all, feeling very sad in his heart, but he didn't show it, but said proudly: "Don't pass it today, when the storm rises again, see you again!" ”
At that moment, Zuo Maodi sang the song written by Wang Yan for him outside the city of Sizhou: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening breeze is blowing, the willow flute is remnant, and the sunset is outside the mountain." The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintances are half scattered, life is rare to gather, only parting more. Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, ask when you will go, and don't linger when you come. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered, a pot of turbidity is sprinkled with all the joy, don't dream cold tonight. ”
Wang Yan boarded the big boat, and the farewell song still came from the shore, and he was very moved in his heart, and he also wrote a poem: "Boarding the boat and wanting to go south, leaving the singing on the shore, thousands of rivers and thousands of mountain roads, there is no one in the south of the sky." ”
On the banks of the Qiantang River, there were also thousands of people from Hangzhou who spontaneously sent each other, they thanked Wang Yan for guarding Yangzhou, blocking the captives and riding for two months, and then let Duoduo withdraw his troops from the city of Hangzhou and return to the north, so that Hangzhou was saved from the grace of war.
It is "the bank of the Qiantang River is full of Wu, because of the feeling of the general Yu Hulu, who ordered the king to leave Hangzhou?" Shizi Xiang Weng sent tears to each other. ”
Suzhou Mansion, Su Kunsheng took Xu Yanyan, Li Xiangjun, and Li Zhenli to flee to Fucheng, and found an inn to live in.
At this time, Xu Yanyan mistakenly thought that Wang Yan had been martyred, and under the sadness and grief, she couldn't afford to be sick, Li Zhenli invited Lang Zhong to treat her, but Lang Zhong said: "The body disease is easy to treat, but the heart disease is difficult to treat!" ”
There are not many three people entangled, because Xu Yanyan fell ill and spent a lot of money, Li Zhenli, as the mother-in-law of the second daughter, naturally shouldered the responsibility of taking care of the second daughter, she saw that the money was getting less and less, and she couldn't help but feel anxious, and finally had to follow Su Kunsheng around various restaurants, and earn a little copper money by singing, so as not to sit on the mountain.
In the past, Qinhuai was a famous prostitute, the owner of Meixianglou, who had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a life much richer than ordinary people.
On this day, after Li Zhenli finished singing, she sat in a corner of the restaurant with Su Kunsheng and ate some simple food to satisfy her hunger.
In the lobby, a thin old man in a long shirt was about to climb the high platform in the restaurant, and Li Zhenli knew that this was the new storyteller in this restaurant, and it was said that he was an old talent who fled all the way south from the north.
The family and country were shattered, Hu Lu invaded the south, and countless literati crossed to the south, lost their livelihoods, and had to live in restaurants and warehouses, and even became the lyrics and composers in the hook column.
The rise of the citizen class in the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of various novels and paintings, and the rise of southern opera, made people's lives richer and richer, and listening to books and watching operas became a part of people's lives.
Some people say that in the culture of the Ming Dynasty, the bottom language began to be popularized, compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, it can be said that it is "not doing business", and the people of the time are better to write essays, novels, and songs, from elegant to vulgar, and the ideological luck is not as good as that of the Tang and Song dynasties, but is this transformation really bad?
Zhang Dai's "Preface to the Night Sailing Boat" wrote: "However, Yuyao customs, the children born later, all read books, and when they are twenty years old, they are not successful, and then they learn to be crafts." ”
What can we see from here? You can see the rise of a new class, and the craftsmen on the street are all educated.
In the past, the Tang and Song dynasties were elite societies, but the citizens of the Ming Dynasty began to slowly grasp the right to speak, and the entire late Ming society was in the process of slow change.
How similar is this to the rise of online literature?
Let's look at another social atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty and think about the government.
Shen has always written: "In the past, those who privately discussed the government and politics were just whispering in the streets and alleys, but now they are in the streets and streets, singing and telling stories, openly making up routines, talking about dramas, and having no scruples. ”
Compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, the society of the Ming Dynasty has been loosened, and the people dare to talk about anything, they can talk about it anywhere, and they still talk about many mistakes of the imperial court, and it is also very marketable, and the citizens are very willing to listen.
In the past, scholars held the right to speak, and in the Ming Dynasty, the citizens could also speak through storytelling, singing, etc., so the society of the Ming Dynasty was changing, it broke the original very rigid, very strict regulations, but from another aspect, there are also a lot of bad things, because it destroyed the old system, and the new failed to establish, making the social thought chaotic, the citizens were politically confused, and the court lost its centripetal force.
How similar is such a change to the present, how many dynasties in history can there be?
At this time, the storyteller walked up to the high platform with a scripture, and the waking wood fell on the table with a snap, which immediately attracted the attention of many diners.
"What I want to say today is that Wang Shiheng and the people crossed to the south, and Wusongkou Taizhen was martyred!"
