On the fourth watch, it was still early from the early dynasty, and the city of Nanjing was dark and silent.

On Taiping Street, the mansion of Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of the military department, was lit and flashing.

Ruan Dacheng slept in a daze, and suddenly someone outside the house shouted, "Master, master, Old He Ge is coming to visit." ”

It was still early for the last dynasty, Ruan Dacheng propped himself up, "He Tengjiao?" ”

"Yes, it was He Ge Lao who came in person!" The door is humane.

"Nope!" Ruan Dacheng impatiently threw out a sentence, "There is something to say in the cabinet." ”

The current situation is that the Donglin Party wants to take He Tengjiao, and he came to his house in the middle of the night, and he must have wanted to find himself to rescue.

Ruan Dacheng has received the news, Donglin has made sufficient preparations, and the dynasty will be in turmoil this morning, and He Tengjiao doesn't seem to have any chance of winning, he is not his own person, Ruan Dacheng is happy to watch the show, there is no need to stop him.

Besides, Gao Jingzhong really rebelled, and he couldn't help him, but he would be caught by Donglin.

Ruan Dacheng can do a little favor at most and give Donglin some eye medicine, even if He Tengjiao doesn't come to him, he will do it, but if he wants to come out, then forget it, there is no need for that.

Take He Tengjiao away, just come out with an empty position, as soon as yesterday's incident came out, someone on his side stuffed silver, and lined up to take He Tengjiao's seat.

"Master, Elder He Ge gave you a gift." The doorman did not leave, and the money bag hanging from his waist was heavy, and he pulled down his belt.

"Oh, gift-giving?" Ruan Dacheng became interested, he estimated that it was almost early, and he was silent for a while, "Let He Ge Lao wait in the living room." ”

In the living room of Ruan's Mansion, He Tengjiao asked a jade Buddha sitting on the jade lotus platform with three-color gems inlaid on the back on the table, and then asked people to step back, while he sat in the hall and waited.

Not long after, Ruan Dacheng walked into the hall, and under the light of the candlelight, the gems on the jade Buddha shimmered, which was a little dazzling.

Ruan Dacheng smiled at the corner of his mouth and sat down on the main seat, "Elder He Ge, come to me so early, but what's the matter!" ”

He Tengjiao didn't hide it, "Elder Ruan Ge, everyone knows what happened yesterday, so I'll just say it." I am alone in the middle of the court, so I want to ask Elder Ruan Ge to help. ”

"Hehe~" Ruan Dacheng waved his hand, "He Ge Lao, stop." It's not that Ruan doesn't want to make a move, but that he really can't do anything about it. ”

After speaking, Ruan Dacheng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and signaled He Tengjiao to leave.

However, He Tengjiao was not interested, but took out a file from his sleeve, put it in front of Ruan Dacheng, and then said with a smile: "Ruan Gebu, Ming people don't say dark words. Since the establishment of the Nanjing Dynasty, there has been constant fighting between the DPRK and China, and now the DPRK and China are the strongest with the Ruan Pavilion Department, the Ma Pavilion faction, and the Donglin faction, but none of you can help anyone. He first came to Nanjing, and his strength was not worth mentioning, but he did not agree with Donglin. If Donglin uses despicable means to bring He down Mou, it will only make Donglin more arrogant, and it will not be good for Ruan Gelao. ”

Ruan Dacheng put down the teacup, but his face did not change, and he did not express his position.

Seeing this, He Tengjiao continued: "Ruan Gebu looked at this dossier, and understood the true intention of Donglin to instigate Zuo Liangyu to stir up trouble in Wuchang, Qian Qianyi and others were just to change Donglin's predicament in the court, hoping to turn the court's attention to Huguang. If they succeed, the money and grain that the imperial court is preparing to guard against the eastern captives will be tilted towards Wuchang, so that Donglin, who was originally out of power because of the lord and the emperor, will regain control of most of the resources of the imperial court. This is not good news for Ruan Gebu and the towns of Jiangbei! ”

Ruan Dacheng frowned and picked up the file, because the demise of Li Zicheng and Gao Yihuan's victory against the Qing Dynasty made Nanjing's morale high, and Ma Shiying was forced to turn to the main battle, and the Nanjing Imperial Court naturally tilted its resources to the four towns of Jiangbei in order to prepare for the war.

This made Ma Ruan and the imperial party indeed seize a lot of financial power from Donglin, but if Wuchang went to war, then Donglin would have an excuse to tilt the resources of the imperial court towards Wuchang, which would damage Ma Ruan's interests.

Moreover, after Nanjing cut Kong Youde, he had already turned against the Manchus, and the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty was not safe.

Jiangbei is Ma Ruan's sphere of influence, and if the Qing army really goes south, they will bear the brunt of it, and they can't do it without resource support.

He Tengjiao's words moved Ruan Dacheng, he unfolded the file and read it again, it was a copy of a confession, which said that Donglin instigated Zuo Zhen to sneak attack Gao Jingzhong, and was beaten out of as a result.

Ruan Dacheng frowned, but He Tengjiao said: "Elder Ruan Ge, this is just one of them, and He still has a lot of evidence in his hands. ”

Ruan Dacheng was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at He Tengjiao with more interest, "What is Elder He going to do?" ”

He Tengjiao didn't hide his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Qian Qianyi wants to put He to death, and He naturally wants Qian to spend the rest of his days in prison!" ”

Ruan Dacheng laughed, "Donglin has brought disaster to the country and the people, and I don't hide it from He Ge Lao, Ruan was also arranged by them in a booklet at the beginning." It is truly abominable for these people to pervert right and wrong and deceive the Holy Hearing. Benge has long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, and this favor Ruan helped. ”

Defeated Donglin, the court is Ma Ruan's dominance, since He Tengjiao has dry goods in his hands, why not give it a try.

At that moment, the two continued to discuss the details, and Ruan Dacheng asked some more about the situation in Wuchang.

After a while, the door of the house was pushed open, He Tengjiao walked out, and Ruan Dacheng sent it to the door, with a kind face and a smile like Maitreya Buddha.

"Old Ruan Ge, don't send it!" He Tengjiao arched his hand and left.

Ruan Dacheng waited for him to leave, walked back to the living room, glanced at the Jade Buddha, it was not like the style of the Central Plains, let people put it away, and then waved his hand: "Prepare the sedan chair, this pavilion is going to the horse mansion." ”

He Tengjiao left Ruan's mansion, and the officials in the city had already gotten up one after another, preparing to go to court, and the shops on the street were opened, and in front of the stalls selling breakfast, there was a lot of white gas.

He Tengjiao got into the carriage, and the doorman asked, "Master, where are you going?" ”

"Go directly to the Imperial City and prepare to go to court!" He Tengjiao looked up at the sky and walked into the carriage.

In a small house near the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Wang Yan finished cleaning up the matter, went out of the courtyard and sat down next to a small stall on the side of the street, and was about to eat something when an official walked across from him and sat down.

"In the royal matter, this is something handed over to you by Elder He Ge, please try to hand it over to Your Majesty as soon as possible." Wang Shicong pushed over a cloth bag, and then lowered his voice and said: "He Gebu is ready to use the power of the eunuch party to deal with Donglin~"

On the fifth watch, on the square in front of the imperial city, officials who participated in the early dynasty came one after another.

At this time, there were already many people gathered in the square, but no one spoke, just made eye contact.

Suddenly, Qian Qianyi came to the crowd, and dozens of people immediately gathered around, "Mu Zhaigong." ”

Qian Qianyi bowed slightly, glanced at He Tengjiao, who was standing alone in the distance, and said contemptuously: "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready. However, someone saw that He Tengjiao went to Ruan Dacheng's mansion. A Donglin official said.

Qian Qianyi frowned, but then he waved his hand, he didn't care, it wasn't that he hadn't fought with Ma Ruan, if these two hadn't had the support of the army, they would have been kicked out of the court long ago, "Don't get in the way, act as usual!" ”
