Chapter 436, The Prison State (6)
Once he made up his mind, Ma Shiying acted very quickly. Early the next morning, Ma Shiying summoned Huang Degong, showed him two documents from Nanjing and Shanhaiguan, and then silently watched Huang Degong finish reading these two documents.
"Your Excellency the Governor...... This...... These two instruments? After reading these two documents, Huang Degong stood up and said.
"Huang Shuai, I invited you to come this time, that is, to discuss what to do. Well, sit down first, sit down first. Ma Shiying replied quietly.
"Your Excellency Governor." Huang Degong put half of his butt back on the chair, and quietly glanced at the door and the screen on the right.
"Huang Shuai thinks, which order should the old man obey?" Ma Shiying asked again.
When Huang Degong heard this, he hurriedly stood up again and hugged his fists and said, "Your Excellency, Huang is a rough man, how can he understand this?" What you say we should do, Your Governor, we will do! A certain general is the only one who looks forward to the Governor! ”
Ma Shiying saw that although Huang Degong said it simply, his eyes flickered, and he knew that he actually had quite doubts in his heart, so he said: "Huang Shuai, you sit down first, and wait for the old man to tell you about the Tao here, and then we will take a closer look at it together." ”
Huang Degong sat down again. Ma Shiying smiled and said, "Huang Shuai knows who has a closer relationship with the Son of Heaven between His Royal Highness King Fu and His Royal Highness King Lu......
Ma Shiying talked about the dispute between King Lifu and King Lilu and Huang Degong, and said: "In the past, there were rumors that King Fu was not virtuous. Today, however, this rumor may not be reliable. Not to mention anything else, just coordinating and commanding the soldiers and horses of the two roads and defeating the thieves is not something that an unvirtuous person can do. I think most of the adults in Nanjing have misheard other people's rumors. ”
While saying this, Ma Shiying observed Huang Degong's expression, and he noticed that when he said that King Fu was originally closer to the Son of Heaven, and was more qualified to serve as a prisoner according to the etiquette law, and King Fu was not unvirtuous, Huang Degong's expression seemed to be a lot easier, and he knew that Huang Degong was probably also inclined to support King Fu.
This is actually not surprising, because if you want to support King Lu, it means that Huang Degong will not only have to deal with Li Chuang, but also have to be enemies of Liao Zhen and the Zheng family. And if he supports King Fu, then he will have to face far fewer opponents, in several military towns, Gao Jie is sandwiched between Li Chuang, King Fu and himself, as long as his head is not broken, he knows that he can't fight with all of them at the same time. And the Nanjing Imperial Court did not have any troops in their hands at all, and the nearby military towns probably only Zuo Liangyu could support them. However, Zuo Liangyu's lonely palm is difficult to sing, and the distance is also far away. Therefore, supporting King Fu is much more stable. What's more, the relationship between Huang Degong and the Zheng family is not bad, and there are many business contacts.
"The official wrote a letter to persuade the ministers of Nanjing not to believe the rumors by mistake and do anything that makes the relatives painful and the enemies happy. I don't know if Huang Shuai is willing to sign with this official? Ma Shiying asked.
"The Governor loves the last general, how can the last general refuse?" Huang Degong hurriedly said gratefully.
……
With the support of Huang Degong, Ma Shiying immediately sent a letter to Gao Jie, asking Gao Jie to lead his troops to retreat to Xuzhou, and he himself rushed to Xuzhou to meet Gao Jie at the same time.
Gao Jie already knew about the two prisons on the way back to Xuzhou, so he naturally understood what Ma Shiying was looking for him. Gao Jie hurried all the way back to Xuzhou, but Ma Shiying was still on the road at this time. Gao Jie first returned home to discuss the matter with his wife, Mrs. Xing. This Xing was originally Li Zicheng's wife, and later hooked up with Gao Jie, and Gao Jie surrendered to the Ming army because of this. When Mrs. Xing was Li Zicheng's wife, she was responsible for managing the logistics of the army, she was quite knowledgeable and decisive, not to mention ordinary women, it was Gao Jie, and she was not as good as her in many things. Therefore, whenever there is a major event, Gao Jie has to discuss it with the Xing family first.
"Governor Ma must be planning to stand on the side of His Royal Highness King Fu." Hearing Gao Jie's explanation of the situation, Mrs. Xing immediately made such a judgment.
"Why does Madame say that?" Gao Jie asked.
"Logically speaking, King Fu should be in charge of the country, and King Lu's identity is far from King Fu, how can he be qualified to supervise the country? Unless he can make a great contribution to the country. If Governor Ma plans to fall to Nanjing and support King Lu, he will definitely order you to immediately lead your troops north and wait for the opportunity to recapture Jingshi. Because only by recapturing the capital can King Lu justifiably overwhelm King Fu. If Governor Ma is still hesitant and plans to discuss it with his husband, he will only let his husband return to Xuzhou by himself, and will not let his husband bring the team back. Now, since Governor Ma wants Fujun to bring the army back, it means that he has made up his mind to stand on the side of King Fu, and intends to use force to force Nanjing to obey His Royal Highness King Fu. The husband thinks that the concubine body makes sense? ”
"Ma'am." Gao Jie patted his thigh and said, "I can't figure this thing out after I think about it, or are you amazing, just make it clear in two sentences!" I heard that the book said that there was a paper house in the Han Dynasty, what can be in it, what is it, what is it, Mrs., you are my old high paper house! ”
Xing Shi listened, but he snorted and said: "You just don't have any knowledge at all, and there are so many learned masters around you, and you don't learn from others." What a paper house, that is Zhang Liang, the military advisor of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty! Zhuge Liang's same character! What about returning the paper house, and 'what is in the middle of what, what is outside', and I am not afraid of being embarrassed! ”
Gao Jie smiled disappreciatively and said, "In front of Madame, what are I afraid of being ashamed of?" As for learning, I don't want to learn anymore in my life, it depends on whether our son can have knowledge in the future. Well, ma'am, what do you say we should do? ”
Xing squinted his eyes and said to Gao Jie: "This kind of thing, naturally the husband takes the idea, where is my turn to speak as a woman?" ”
"Oops! My lady! Gao Jie looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he hugged Xing into his arms and said, "Who dares to say that you are a woman?" You are my Zhuge Liang, what kind of Zhang Zifang of mine! I don't ask you, but who goes? ”
"What to do! In broad daylight! How bad it is to make people see! Xing raised her eyebrows and scolded in a low voice, she struggled slightly, but she couldn't break free from Gao Jie's arms, she stopped struggling, but said: "You just don't want to work hard by yourself, and use your own thoughts." Naturally, we are now listening to Governor Ma. I guess Governor Ma has already negotiated with Huang Degong. Then come back to us. Do we want to be sandwiched between Li Chuang, Fuwang, and Huang Degong, what good fruits can we eat? Moreover, what good can it be to follow Nanjing? There are too many people in Nanjing, and we don't know where to go in terms of meritorious deeds and rewards...... Well, that's what I'm talking about? ”
"Madame said exactly what I thought!" Gao Jie smiled, "It can be seen that we are husband and wife, what is it!" ”
……
A day later, Ma Shiying also arrived in Xuzhou, Gao Jie met Ma Shiying, and straightforwardly mentioned the matter of the two prison states to Ma Shiying, and proposed to Ma Shiying with a serious attitude that he should support King Fu.
"I didn't expect Gao Shuai to be so profound!" Ma Shiying was naturally very satisfied with Gao Jie's attitude, and he smiled with satisfaction and said: "But the old man thinks that Gao Shuai is not thinking too much about things, those adults in Nanjing are also known for their loyalty, and they help the king of Lu to supervise the country, but they don't understand the truth and are deceived by some villains." As long as the old man, as well as Gao Shuai and Huang Shuai, go together to explain the truth to them, they don't have a reason not to repent, in fact, they don't need to use swords. ”
"That's what Governor Ma said." Gao Jie bowed his head and said.
A few days later, Ma Shiying took Gao Jie and his more than 10,000 troops south along the canal, and after the round with Huang Degong, who came halfway, he joined forces and prepared to go to Nanjing, intending to reason with those Ming loyalists in Nanjing; On the other hand, he also wrote a letter to Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, expressing his support for King Fu's attitude. The facts have also proved that Ma Shiying's judgment is very correct, and those loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty are really very reasonable. Han Zanzhou showed them Ma Shiying's letter, and they were deeply moved after reading it. Gao Hongtu immediately said that the reason why they established King Lu was entirely because they lost the news of the princes and King Fu, and they made such a move in anxiety. Now that His Royal Highness King Fu is still there, and he has made such a contribution to the country, it is really "in accordance with the heavens and in response to the people" that His Royal Highness King Fu has come down to supervise the country. As for His Royal Highness King Lu, it is natural that he should abdicate and make way for Xian.
Qian Qianyi seems to have some objections to this, after all, for Qian Qianyi, who has always been famous in the world, if he really gets the great merit of supporting him, then the dream of joining the cabinet to worship the prime minister is almost in front of him. And if you admit defeat, I'm afraid that it will be far from this dream. Speaking of Qian Qianyi, as the leader of Donglin, he has touched the edge of the cabinet several times, but every time he touches the edge of the cabinet, something happens, which can't help but make him not depressed.
"Yu Shan, the Mandate of Heaven cannot be resisted!" Gao Hongtu saw that Qian Qianyi was still hesitant, and hurriedly reminded him.
Qian Qianyi is not a stupid person, as soon as he was reminded, he immediately understood that there was no force near Nanjing that could compete with it, and the current situation was irreparable, so he said: "The destiny is like this, Da Ming is very lucky!" I have been cut down, but I have been pardoned. Be obedient to the will of heaven and be the precursor of the king. I heard that the superintendent of the country was in the north, and he was about to restore Shenjing, so I should drive there and join the army to serve His Royal Highness King Fu. ”
Since it was impossible to do anything, Qian Qianyi immediately changed his position and prepared to fall to King Fu. The leaders of the Donglin Party are like this, and the others will naturally not make any moths. So in the evening of the same day, several ministers entered the palace and persuaded King Lu to give up the position of superintendent, and the next day, the Nanjing court asked Zhang Shenyan and Qian Qianyi to go north with a seal and letter expressing their support to meet King Fu.
