Chapter 253: The Prince Has Arrived

When the Dashun army captured Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, most of the states and counties in the south were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Chongzhen Dynasty has fallen, it is urgent to re-establish the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing and continue the national ancestry.

For all generations, supporting the new emperor to ascend the throne has been a matter that can grab major political benefits.

At this time, whoever can take the lead in supporting the new emperor will be able to grasp absolute power in the Nanjing court.

Although the fall of the Ming Dynasty has various reasons, not one person, one force can carry all the pots, but the responsibility of the Donglin Party will definitely not be able to escape.

Proceeding from its own and the party's interests, the Donglin Party must take the initiative in formulating policies in order to safeguard its own interests.

If the eunuchs and other parties were to support the new emperor, they would surely be liquidated for their faults and held them responsible for the demise of the Chongzhen dynasty.

At the beginning, the eunuch party was in charge, and the court did not collapse, but in your hands, the court collapsed, in short, the reason is casual.

As the main force of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party has a deep understanding of the cruelty of the party struggle, and there are several bigwigs who were killed by the eunuch party.

Now that they have finally seized the right to speak in the government and the opposition, it is natural that they should always tighten the string of party contention to prevent it from being beaten by other parties.

Because of this, when someone proposed the Fu Domain, everyone did not think about it, so they fiercely opposed it.

At this time, Zhang Shenyan, the imperial history of the right capital, looked at Qian Qianyi, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Mu Zhai, it's very passive!" ”

Everyone in the hall did not look very good, and this time the Donglin Party was really passive.

This problem is because of an old case decades ago. At that time, Emperor Shenzong wanted to establish Lao Fu Wang, but the Donglin Party desperately blocked it, and finally forced Lao Fu Wang to become a vassal.

With this grievance, how can the Donglin Party establish the king of Fu? In case King Fu ascends the throne, rehashes the old case, and vents his anger for the old King Fu, the Donglin Party should not lose its political position.

If this is just the point, then it is easy to solve, just support others, but the key reason why the Donglin Party opposed the establishment of the old Fu King is the best reason for the Fu Fan to ascend the throne now.

This time it was very embarrassing and passive.

The Donglin Party opposed the establishment of the old Fu Wang, and maintained the feudal concept of wheel order, and maintained the etiquette of the order of the elder and youngest.

Everyone is a cultural person, and they have to be cheeky, so they can't suddenly overturn their previous statements.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and after a while, Qian Qianyi broke the silence with a deep groan, "Legally speaking, the Fu Domain and the Gui Domain are the most suitable to inherit the unification, but the Gui Domain is far away in Lingnan, and it is too late to catch up. Fu Fan is the brother of Emperor Daxing, the bloodline is suitable, and the person is in Huai'an, he was originally the best candidate, but ~~~"

When everyone heard "but", they couldn't help but look at Qian Qianyi, depending on what the party leader said.

Qian Qianyi glanced at everyone, "I heard that Fu Fan has been stubborn since he was a child, greedy for wine, mean and unkind, and cruel, I am afraid that he is not a virtuous monarch." At present, the country and the DPRK are turbulent and full of crises, which is a special period, and special things should be done. I think that on the issue of the new emperor's policy, we, as the pillars of the country, should not tacitly abide by the old rules, but should shoulder our responsibilities and fight on the basis of reason, so as to choose a virtuous monarch for the country. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Shenyan, the imperial history of the right capital, raised his eyebrows, "Brother Mu Zhai means that he is virtuous or not long?" ”

Qian Qianyi nodded, "Yes, I heard that Lu Fan has been smart and studious since he was a child, and if he is allowed to ascend the throne, he must be a virtuous lord." Moreover, Lu Fan had no chance to ascend to the throne, and if we helped him ascend the throne, Lu Fan would definitely repay the favor, and I, a member of the Donglin Party, could continue to work for the court and the people! ”

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but light up, they were already a little tempted, Lu Fan has no foundation, and when he ascends to the throne, he will inevitably not be able to become a strong monarch, and the government is naturally controlled by our Donglin.

The people present had never even seen King Fu and King Lu, so they said tacitly. "Well, King Lu is wise."

"Brother Mu Zhai is right!" Zhang Shenyan still has some doubts, "It's just that the young and the young are orderly, and the elders are not virtuous, which is what we desperately defended at the beginning, and it is also something that our party is proud of." Now suddenly the other way around, saying that the virtuous do not stand up, I am afraid that it will make the world laugh! ”

"Brother Despise Mountain!" Qian Qianyi put his face on the board and said earnestly, "At present, the country is turbulent, and we in Donglin should take responsibility and choose a virtuous monarch." How can we not think about society because we are afraid of the gossip of mediocre people? ”

The leader of the party is the leader of the party! Obviously it was for the interests of Donglin, but when he said it, it was as if he was going to be martyred.

This prevents King Fu from ascending the throne, it has become a consideration for the world, and in front of the world and the country, what is it to slap one's face? It's no problem to get swollen.

Everyone was amazed, and Lin Shi said, "What Mr. said is reasonable. Now that the situation is turbulent, the dynasty needs Mingjun, what are we infamous for the sake of the country? ”

"What Mr. said is reasonable, but people in the world may not understand our good intentions, and the students think that they still need to lobby separately." Huang Zongyi made a plan.

Qian Qianyi nodded, "Then let's go separately, I will lobby Shi Gong, he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the southeast officialdom is headed by him, as long as he is moved, the big thing will be half done." You will go to lobby the Nanjing officials separately and persuade them to support the King of Lu~"

After the discussion, everyone dispersed, and the lobbying of the Donglin Party was nothing more than a rumor for the benefit of the king, and then touted King Lu.

There are many members of the Donglin Party, and they have the right to speak in the government and the opposition, and within a few days, there are many messages in the south of the Yangtze River that are unfavorable to King Fu.

King Fu, who was in Huai'an, did nothing, disaster fell from the sky, and he could only ask for help and the generals.

In fact, in history, Chongzhen and the crown prince did not go south, and King Fu inherited the unification, which was also in line with etiquette and rules.

The dispute over the order of the Southern Ming Dynasty was mainly provoked by the Donglin Party, who broke the things they had maintained, picked an irrelevant Lu Domain, and brought a very bad head.

From the perspective of dynastic stability, there is actually a certain truth in the orderly order of the young and the young, and the elders are not virtuous.

Because in this way, there is a standard, according to the order of the bloodline, the prince is very easy to choose, and there will not be too fierce competition for the throne, but if it is a virtuous, then there is no fixed standard, anyone can say that they are "virtuous", and all the clansmen have a chance, so it will be chaotic.

The early Donglin Party members were the defenders of etiquette and law, but the current Donglin Party members started from narrow selfish interests, overturned the original rhetoric, and strongly opposed the Fu Domain, so that the Fu Fan could only ask for help from the feudal town, and finally caused the situation that the feudal town became bigger and did not listen to the central government.

After Fu Fan ascended the throne with the help of other towns, at this time it should have been united and united with the outside world, but the Donglin Party created the "Great Compassion Case", "Tong Concubine Case", and "Fake Prince" three major cases to shake Hongguang's rule and deny his legitimacy, and finally instigated Zuo Liangyu to rebel eastward, and together with Zuo Liangyu, he collapsed the Southern Ming court, and then surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This kung fu of making wedding dresses for foreigners is not lost to Li Zicheng at all.

As the saying goes, the merit is greater than the Savior, the support, and the dragon.

Now the Lord is not saved, and the support and conviction, not only the Donglin Party wants to fight, but the border towns and governors in Jiangbei also want to seize political interests through support.

Under the premise that Chongzhen hanged himself, and the prince and the princes had no news, the blessed king Zhu Youxiang became a strange treasure.

Due to the location, Ma Shiying and others were far away from Huai'anjin, and they had already met with King Fu and expressed their support.

This was originally a logical thing, supporting King Fu's accession to the throne, in line with the etiquette and law, and by the way, he could also take the credit in his hands, but he didn't want Nanjing to have a moth, and he wanted to support an irrelevant King Lu, under the pretext that King Lu was more virtuous.

In Fengyang Mansion and the Governor's Yamen, Ma Shiying read the documents sent by Nanjing, and his face was gloomy.

"Brother Haiyuan, Shi Shangshu said in the letter that King Fu is the grandson of Shenzong, and he should be established as a king according to his generation and rank, but he has seven major shortcomings, greed, lewdness, alcoholism, unfilial piety, abuse of subordinates, not studying, and interfering with officials. Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, is the nephew of Shenzong, virtuous and intelligent, and should be made king. What do you think? ”

After hearing this, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but sneer, "Donglin Party members, this is completely shameless." At the beginning, they were not virtuous, but now they are the opposite, they are all reasonable. How about King Fu? We have seen it, although it is not the master of eloquence, but it is not as unbearable as Donglin said. Nowadays, if the king is established in the order of Lun, who of the vassals cannot be established? In case Zuo Liangyu establishes a feudal domain, Zheng Zhilong establishes another feudal domain, and each narrow emperor orders the princes, won't the world be in chaos? ”

Ruan Dacheng arched his hand to Ma Shiying, "Brother Yaocao, now we must establish the Fu Domain in the order of Lun. The fact that the Donglin Party is like this is also a good thing for us. Brother Yaocao can send a letter to King Fu, and then support King Fu as an enemy, so that we can set things right and grasp the power of Nanjing. ”

Ma Shiying was a little moved, but he was still very hesitant, "The Donglin Party is very powerful, in addition to Shi Gong, the right capital of the imperial history Zhang Shenyan, the great Si Nong Gao Hongtu, the governor of Jiangxi Lu Daqi, the general secretary Jiang Yueguang and others have all listened to Qian Muzhai's lobbying, and they all want to support Lu, we are alone!" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "Brother Yaocao, you have more than 100,000 soldiers, are you still afraid of the Donglin Party's two mouths?" ”

Ma Shiying's face was flat, "It's just that the two mouths are very tight." If I support the troops, the first is the already difficult military general, with the merit of supporting, will inevitably be more disobedient to orders in the future, and the second is the Donglin Party, which will inevitably give the governor a big hat and designate the governor as a traitor. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying sighed slightly, "If Your Majesty and the crown prince go south, how can there be so many things." ”

While he was talking, he ran in in a hurry, and said incoherently: "Governor~ Governor, the prince has arrived in Haizhou." ”

"Haizhou? How did you get to Haizhou? Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but ask urgently.

"The crown prince and Princess Kunxing are from the sea. Gaofutai in Shandong has already sent troops south. ”

Ma Shiying's body shook up, and he had already reached out to get the official hat on the table, "Let's go, go to Haizhou quickly." ”

Ruan Dacheng hurriedly followed, and the general behind him hurriedly asked: "Governor, do you want to send the news to Nanjing to calm the hearts of the people on the right side of the river?" ”

"Nope! Block the news and don't report it for now. Ruan Dacheng turned around and said for Ma Shiying.
