Zhu Hongsan said: "The most important thing to pick up my uncle to go to Guangdong is that my second cousin wants to let my uncle live in retirement. The second point is that the second cousin is now the commander of Dongguan County, and Shen Youlong, the governor of Liangguang, is very unkind to the second cousin. I want my uncle to support him. ”

Feng Ruoshu raised his eyes and asked, "Oh? Isn't Shen Youlong good friends with Ma Guoan? How can this still be the case? ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a low mouth: "Ma Mingyuan's second brother went to Shen Youlong, and the old guy said that Ma Guoan's family is easy to say, but this son of Feng Lao Gelding is not good." also said that he would let his second cousin be rated inferior in the assessment three years later, and let him roll up and go home. ”

Feng Ruoshu heard someone mention his disgraceful things back then, and scolded: "This old man, all the governors in the world had to give Wei Gelding to cultivate the ancestral hall, and I didn't repair it." He and Ma Guoan were officials at that time, they could scold Wei Gelding at will, what should the old man do if he wants to act willfully, and the people of Hunan?

I wrote to him back then to explain, but I didn't expect this old man to still linger after so many years. I'm going to Guangdong right now to scold this old thing. ”

Feng Ruoshu reacted as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Youlong couldn't say this, if he really hated himself, he couldn't give his son an official position. Isn't it better to give Maji directly? After all, both of the Ma brothers are Jinshi.

Thinking of this, Feng Ruoshu smiled and said: "You little slippery head, you will provoke me to be angry when you enter the house, and then use Shen Lao to squeeze me, you want me to go to Guangdong with you in a fit of anger, right?" ”

Zhu Hongsan was stunned, he used to use this trick to deal with Feng Ziyong and Ma Jiyuan, but he didn't expect it to be difficult to deal with Old Man Feng. It's really cunning.

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Let my uncle see it?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "Say, what do you want the old man to do in Guangdong?" ”

Zhu Hongsan looked up at Feng Run. Feng Ruoshu said: "It's okay, Run'er knows everything in the family, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Let my uncle go south, I discussed it with Mingyuan's second brother and my second cousin." We have no roots in Guangdong. Although Shen Youlong takes care of us, he is not our own person. Therefore, I would like to ask my uncle to go south to take up the post of governor of Liangguang and support us for a while. ”

This was Zhu Hongsan's truth, and Old Man Feng also heard it. Old Man Feng said in a deep voice: "The old man is now at the same level as the governor, but how can you be sure that Old Man Shen will definitely leave?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Does my uncle know where Liukou is? ”

Feng Ruoshu, as one of the Jiuqing, how could he not know the military situation, and said: "Yesterday, the military reported that the Liukou was in Changping. ”

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Uncle does you see if this Beijing city can be defended?" ”

Feng Ruoshu was taken aback, he has been an official in Beijing for a long time, so he naturally knows what virtues Beijing is doing now. Yesterday, when he was in court, the emperor actually said that he was going to Fengtian Hall to finish his work, that is, he wanted to commit suicide in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's ranking. The emperor is like this, let alone the mentality of the officials below.

Not to mention others, even Feng Ruoshu himself is a little tempted, looking at the posture of the Ming Dynasty is no longer good. Li Zicheng is the next Zhu Yuanzhang. If he wants to succeed, he has to rely on himself, the scholars. Feng Ruoshu still had the intention of being a minister of the dragon, so he did not resign and go south.

But these can only be known when you are an official in Beijing, and I didn't expect this kid from the south to know it.

Feng Ruoshu thought for a while and asked, "What do you think, virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty still has a lifespan of more than ten days, I dare to guarantee that now the ministers in the city have already gone to Li Zicheng to prepare to make a dragon work." I also dare to guarantee that Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing is the death date of your ministers, and he will not use your former ministers.

Also, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan is enough for Li Zicheng to drink a pot, and if he can't get the Manchu big braids outside the customs, he will enter the customs, and it will be good for everyone to shave their heads and keep braids together. ”

Zhu Hongsan's grinning words shocked Feng Ruoshu too much. Feng Ruoshu hurriedly asked, "You said that Li Zicheng wouldn't use us?" Tell me why. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Uncle, Li Zicheng also has his own team, what do you want the cabinet nine secretaries to do?" Do you still want to be your father? Important official positions must be reserved for their own people, and my uncle still doesn't know this truth after reading poetry and books? ”

Feng Ruoshu nodded and said, "Even if you are polite, it is unlikely that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will enter the customs." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Those Qiu Ba can buy whatever courtesy, righteousness and shamelessness are beneficial to their own affairs." Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything about Chong Guan's anger, after all, this matter is too sensational. If you are in the general direction, others will say that you are a talent, and if you say that an event is accurate, it can only be a monster.

Feng Ruoshu very much agreed with Zhu Hongsan's comment on Qiu Ba. said: "What you said is speculation, and the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not yet certain. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "But Chongzhen is about to be unlucky in front of him, if my uncle doesn't think about himself, doesn't he think about his second cousin and Feng Runxian's nephew?" ”

Feng Ruoshu glanced at Zhu Hongsan and asked, "How are you developing in the south?" ”

Zhu Hongsan knew that he was going to show his strength, and hurriedly said: "My son-in-law has trained 50,000 elite soldiers in Guangdong (he can really blow it), and there are 100 generals." is the lack of civil officials, my uncle went to Guangdong and was the first civil official of my son-in-law, and my uncle will be the first assistant after my son-in-law becomes a good man in the future. ”

Zhu Hongsan knew that dealing with this kind of old bureaucrat was nonsense about the righteousness of the family and the country, and it was still the grasp of the official position, so he promised the position of first assistant when he came up.

Not to mention, Feng Ruoshu is really a little excited, he is sixty-seven years old this year, and he doesn't know how many years he can live. Everything else is downplayed, but it's this Shoufu who makes him excited.

Feng Ruoshu didn't study well that year, he only took the second grade, and he didn't enter the Hanlin Academy, so he couldn't enter the cabinet normally. But the Zhu Hongsan in front of him said that he wanted to make himself the first assistant, even if it was just one day, he would be the first among the famous ministers in the history books in the future.

Thinking of this, Feng Ruoshu's whole body trembled, this time he was not angry, he was excited. But reason told him that he couldn't promise the little fox in front of him, because now Chongzhen is not dead, and he promised him that he would be a mess, which is fatal.

Thinking of this, Feng Ruoshu asked: "Now that the emperor is still here, how dare the virtuous son-in-law say such a rebellious remark?" ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart: "This old guy was so excited just now that he almost didn't have a stroke, but now he is saying this, he really doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle." ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Then what if the emperor fails to go south, or the crown prince fails to go south?" ”

Feng Ruoshu said: "Then the old man has to rise up for the rest of his life, and he also has to assist the master of Yiming to prosper the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "The son-in-law brought two hundred musketeers this time, all of them are elite people, and this time I came to ensure that the emperor and the crown prince could not go south." ”

Feng Ruoshu nodded and said: "If the position is not moved, it proves that the mandate of heaven is still there, and the virtuous son-in-law is good to do it." Run'er, take your uncle down to rest. ”

Feng Run took Zhu Hongsan down and turned around and asked, "Grandfather, can what Zhu Hongsan said come true?" ”

Feng Ruoshu looked at his eldest grandson and asked, "Run'er, what do you think of this Zhu Hongsan?" ”

Feng Run said: "I don't think it's very good, full of intrigues. It's not like a master who can be trusted. ”

Feng Ruoshu sighed secretly, this grandson and the scholars of the Guozijian have been stupid for a long time, and such troubled times are exactly what they need for a thick black person like Zhu Hongsan. The second Feng Ziyong made it clear in the letter that this Zhu Hongsan was vicious and unscrupulous. There are talents of Liu Bang and Liu Bei.

Now in such troubled times, in order for the family to be passed on for a long time, it is natural to find such a monarch who can achieve things. That kind of benevolent monarch like Song Xianggong can't have the last laugh, Zhang Shicheng, who fought with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world back then, was a benevolent and righteous warlord, but what happened later? After the hooligan Zhu Yuanzhang defeated another hooligan Chen Youliang, he killed Zhang Shicheng with a backhand.

It seems that Feng Run is only a middle-aged person, I heard that Feng Ziyong's son is five years old, I don't know how that child is?

Thinking of this, Feng Ruoshu asked Feng Run to go down and arrange for the two hundred people brought by Zhu Hongsan, and sat in the room and pondered.

Zhu Hongsan naturally knew what Feng Ruoshu, the old guy, thought, that is, he must go to Guangdong with him after Chongzhen's death, plus the prince can't go south. But it's not a thing, today is the fifth day of the first month of March, and Chongzhen will hang himself in half a month, and if Chongzhen can't do it, he won't mind helping him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan called Wang Jinbao and said, "Xiaobao, you take twenty people, take the silver, go around the palace city, and inquire more about the affairs in Beijing." There is also a good road gateway to the palace, you know? ”

Wang Jinbao nodded and went down to arrange.
