"King Fu is not virtuous, as everyone knows, when Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, King Fu abandoned his parents and fled alone, this is unfilial piety, when he was in the domain, he coveted beauty, sang every night, did not pragmatic things, and all the rumors, the Ming Dynasty has come to the edge of life and death, half of the country has been lost, if such a person sits on the throne, then then this half of the country is afraid that it will be difficult to survive, what face do I have to see the first emperor?"

"That's right! King Lu Yaliang high festival, in the time of the domain, known as the name of the virtuous, only the virtuous monarch in the dynasty, in order to save the Ming Dynasty, never set up the king of blessing! ”

In the Nanjing Council Hall, for more than 200 years, there has not been a day as lively as today, all of them are red-faced and red-eared in the national plan and speak freely, express their own opinions, in the Nanjing court, all the civil and military officials above the sixth grade are here, an unprecedented grand event, amazing.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid of empty words! What is virtuous or not, what evidence do you have, it's just a rumor, the country is the first, ethics is the most important, if you don't set up the king of blessing, with uncle and nephew, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people, and the people of the world are uneasy, don't take care of the country's common life for a little selfish gain. ”

In the face of a group of officials of the Donglin Party, the left-behind eunuch Han Zanzhou was also outspoken, at this time, he also had a certain status as a left-behind eunuch, because he controlled 10,000 soldiers and horses in the inner city in his hands, and he was a force that could not be ignored. Han Zan Zhou has been a eunuch for fifteen years, he doesn't understand anything, he can't see through anything, are these people really for the sake of being virtuous or not, deceiving ghosts, but they are just worried that their interests will be threatened.

In the face of Han Zanzhou's directness, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, also blushed, not ashamed, but angry, in the Nanjing court, the strength of the Donglin Party is very substantial, among the six departments of Nanjing, there are their people, the only person they want to fight for now is Shi Kefa, the chief minister of military and political affairs in Nanjing, Shi Kefa studied from the ancestor of the Donglin Party, Zuo Guangdou, but on the issue of support, they have always wavered, Qian Qianyi They are also helpless, and they have said a lot of persuasion, Shi Kefa still failed to make up his mind.

"The country is at this point now, it is you eunuchs who did it, back then, killed Lu Xiangsheng, cut off my Ming arm, and later Sun Chuanting, it was also you people who pushed into the army, so that they would be defeated by the rebels when the soldiers and horses were not good, and finally lost Shaanxi, Han Zanzhou, do you still have the face to stand in the court, are you not afraid of being scolded?" Qian Qianyi almost gritted his teeth and said, eager to bite Han Zanzhou to death.

Han Zanzhou is a person, after becoming a eunuch, he is already shameless, and he also got up angrily at the moment and scolded: "Bold! You said that Gao Qiqian killed Lu Xiangsheng, our family has nothing to say, but how Sun Chuanting died, you know it well, and you dare to frame it like this, hateful! You Donglin Party members, don't think that outsiders don't know what your idea is, people in the world are not blind and deaf, and what you do will be scolded by all generations. ”

Han Zanzhou is not a scholar and a gentleman, what kind of mercilessness will he talk about, he is very direct, that is, he pierces the fig leaf of these people, he is ruthless, and he will not be merciful, he is a person with soldiers and horses, and he will not be afraid of these people, it is a big deal.

"You ......" Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth, not knowing how to refute.

"That's it!" Shi Kefa also immediately took the case, and scolded: "This is the council hall, not the vegetable market, this time we are going to discuss the matter of supporting the new monarch, not to quarrel with you as a guest, they are all ministers of the court, such rudeness, spread out to make people laugh, don't you think there are enough things?" ”

As soon as Shi Kefa spoke, he really shocked the two of them, they both closed their mouths in interest and sat back in the distance, both staring at each other viciously with their eyes, and never showing weakness to each other.

Gao Hongtu, the head of the household department, got up and said: "Shi Shangshu, you are the secretary of the military department in Nanjing, the head of the hundred officials, who should be supported to inherit the unification, you should always express your position, if it is delayed for a long time, people's hearts will be unstable!" ”

"Let me think about it, and then let's discuss it again, and disperse!" Shi Kefa is also tired, listening to these people chattering and arguing every day, how not to be tired, I really want him to say, he naturally wants to support King Fu, the name is right, but he really supports King Fu, he is worried about causing riots afterwards, the Ming Dynasty can't stand the toss, when the time comes, the three major cases will be tossed, this last bit of vitality, I'm afraid it will also be tossed away, he is difficult to decide!

After the meeting dispersed, Shi Kefa returned to the official office and immediately asked his confidants: "Has Ma Shiying arrived?" ”

"My lord, Ma Shiying has arrived in Pukou, and it is inconvenient to come to Nanjing, so please go to Pukou for a while!"

Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, controlled the Jiangbei garrison, is a force that can not be ignored, when a generation of literary heroes Zhang Pu died of illness, Ma Shiying in order to manage the aftermath for him and traveled thousands of miles in a month, so that he won a high evaluation, but also washed away his years of eunuch charges, and finally served as the governor of Fengyang, will be so smooth.

"Prepare immediately, I'll go, if this major event is not planned earlier, I'm afraid that if the Dashun army doesn't come to fight, the Nanjing court will fall apart!" Shi Kefa was also quite helpless, and he had to take care of all aspects, which made him anxious and very hard, so he could only find an outsider to talk about it.

Pukou is not far from Nanjing, across the river, Shi Kefa dressed in civilian clothes, quietly left the city of Nanjing, after crossing the river, came to the post station in Pukou, and secretly met with Ma Shiying.

"The ministers are worried about the blessing of the king, or the three major cases of resentment; Lu Wangli, there is no trouble. However, the ministers of the court, there is a gap with King Lu, King Lu is far away, and he does not approve of this move, so he might as well adopt a compromise method and support King Gui? King Gui is the son of Emperor Wanli of Shenzong, and he is close in blood, and he will not have any suspicion of the Donglin monarchs, isn't it a way to kill two birds with one stone? ”

I have to say that Ma Shiying's idea is very rancid, and now it is about ethics, which is naturally the closest and most suitable for Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, if he supports King Gui, it is not an uncle to inherit his nephew, and it is still unreasonable to say, but although this idea is very ranciful, Shi Kefa thinks it is feasible.

Anyway, he is thinking about making peace with the mud now, and solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if it is delayed any longer, the entire Nanjing court will have to collapse, King Gui will be King Gui, he has no opinion on who comes, as long as the court is stable, those ministers don't make trouble anymore, as for King Gui or King Hui, it is the same for him.

But Shi Kefa didn't think about how bad this idea was, first of all, it didn't fit the rules and regulations, and let Emperor Chongzhen's cousins not stand, but set up Emperor Chongzhen's uncle, and its essence was not much different from "Yonglu". Moreover, there is an extreme lack of operability, which is not as good as "Yonglu", and Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, is the same as King Fu, and he is close to Huai'an, and he can go to Nanjing in a few days. And King Gui is thousands of miles away in Hunan, a month back and forth is always wanted, I am afraid that this King Gui has not yet arrived in Nanjing, and the Dashun army has already come to the city.
