Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Surprising Statement

"Ma Shiying's traitorous minister, taking power and misleading the country, the saint has already made a conclusion, although the dead are great, they cannot be wiped out...... Why, if PTZ wants to overturn the case for him? ”

Fu Guan usually looks like a kind old man, but at this time, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were blazing and staring at Wang Kefan, with great meaning in his eyes.

He mentioned in his words that "the dead are great" because Ma Shiying had just died not long ago.

Ma Shiying was the first assistant of the Hongguang Dynasty, he did nothing during his reign, he was a relatively dim prime minister, and because of his falling out with the Donglin Party, he was notorious in Shilin, and was put on a big hat, thinking that he was a traitor who caused the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty. Huang Zongxi once said that from ancient times to the present, Emperor Hongguang is the first faint monarch in the world, and Ma Shiying is the first traitor in the world -- "Those who are kings in ancient times are faint to the extreme of Hongguang, and those who are prime ministers are extremely traitorous to Ma Shiying." ”

However, this evaluation is a bit excessive, Ma Shiying is just stupid, not a traitor.

After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, Ma Shiying became a rat crossing the street, and his life was very difficult, and he once wrote a letter to ask for a face saint in Fujian, and wanted to take refuge in Emperor Longwu, but was unanimously opposed by the ministers. Emperor Longwu had no choice but to issue an edict, designating Ma Shiying as a "criminal auxiliary" and ordering him to make meritorious contributions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to atone for his crimes, but privately wrote an edict to Ma Shiying's henchmen to appease him.

Ma Shiying tried to take refuge in the king of Lu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but was also rejected and insulted, in the embattled situation, he actively organized the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and crossed the Qiantang River many times to attack the Yuhang area, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty Dorobelle Bolo went south, Ma Shiying was defeated and captured, refused to surrender and was killed, it was a month ago. Wang Kefan's evaluation of Ma Shiying was not high, and when he was in charge of the Qing army in Duoduo, he transferred the main force of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River to fight a civil war with Zuo Liangyu, which led to the rapid loss of Yangzhou. The Qing army easily captured Nanjing, but it was Huang Zongxi and other Donglin Party who deliberately smeared all the blame on Emperor Hongguang and Ma Shiying.

Fu Guan's rhetorical question was very sensitive, obviously tentative, and Wang Kefan avoided answering, and gave him another rhetorical question.

"Then I would like to ask Uncle again, what do you think of this person from the Skobu?"

Wang Kefan asked rhetorically, somewhat relying on small and selling small. Fu Guan is an elder, so it's not good to be cheeky and ask rhetorical questions, so he has to answer positively.

"The Cabinet Department is loyal to the country, and it is worthy of the word 'loyalty', as for the rest...... The dead are greater. Not much more. ”

Shi Kefa, nicknamed "Zhongjing", is a recognized national hero. But at the level of Fu Guan. also saw Shi Kefa's shortcomings very clearly, since Wang Kefan had this question, if Fu Guan didn't say anything, he seemed incompetent, so he nodded vaguely.

Obviously, Wang Kefan asked these two questions in a row. There is something in the words, and there must be something to follow. Fu Guanhuan has been up and down for decades, with a lot of words and words. Although it was just an ordinary conversation, how could he be led by Wang Kefan's junior.

Boy, just say what you want, don't just try to trick me!

Wang Kefan smiled slightly, and his words were amazing.

"According to the little nephew's opinion, the Hongguang Dynasty died in one year, the crime is not Ma Shiying, the crime is Shi Kefa!" Wang Kefan knew that his words were somewhat extreme, but in order to convince Fu Guan, he had to take the sword sideways.

If it is Zhou Guodong, Xu Bingzhong, Jie Chongxi and others, they will definitely jump up after hearing this sentence, and Wang Kefan is fierce, who in the world does not know, Shi Kefa is a loyal minister, Ma Shiying is a traitor, saying that Shi Kefa is misleading the country, wouldn't it be a reversal of black and white!

However, Fu Guan was not angry, his eyes were shining, and he looked straight at Wang Kefan, as if he had just met him.

"Where do you start with this ......?"

"When Hongguang was not established, the Shi Pavilion Department was the head of the hundred officials in Nanjing, if the ability to override the public opinion and support orthodoxy, how could Ma Shiying's disaster come?"

When Wang Kefan asked in one sentence, Fu Guan's eyes immediately dimmed, and he was silent for a long time before sighing.

"Well...... yes, I didn't expect you to be so young and young."

After the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen, the civil and military officials of Nanjing, headed by Shi Kefa, had the decision-making power on the issue of welcoming the emperor, but he lacked the eloquence of a politician and hesitated in the opinion of King Fu and King Lu.

According to feudal ethics, King Fu (that is, Emperor Hongguang) is the natural heir to the throne, but the Donglin Party and King Fu have a feud and grudge, and they are worried that King Fu will come to power to suppress the Donglin Party, so King Lu and King Fu are launched to compete for the throne.

(Fu Wang Zhu Yousong's grandmother is Wanli's favored Zheng Guifei, from Wanli to the Apocalypse has been competing with the Donglin Party for the throne, in the efforts of the Donglin Party, Zheng Guifei's son, that is, Zhu Youxiang's father, Lao Fu Wang, did not become the emperor, in other words, although the Fu Wang lineage is also the descendant of Wanli, but it is the political enemy of the Donglin Party.) )

Shi Kefa is a righteous gentleman, originally willing to support King Fu, but he is a disciple of Zuo Guangdou, the leader of the Donglin Party, out of the view of the door and favoring the Donglin Party, swaying left and right on the issue of welcoming the emperor, under pressure, Zuihou is ready to sacrifice King Fu who should succeed to the throne, causing King Fu to ask for help from the warlords of the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ma Shiying joined forces, relying on the intervention of the army to regain the throne.

In this way, Emperor Hongguang naturally will not trust Shi Kefa, and Shi Kefa's exclusion and suppression is also an inevitable result, in other words, all of this is Shi Kefa's own fault.

If it is just a personal gain or disgrace, it will not have much impact, the key is that this struggle for the throne has caused a deformed political situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the party struggle between the DPRK and China has become more and more intense, and the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River have also been arrogant and domineering with their merits, and the warlords have countered the imperial court, so that they will collapse in the future.

If he can decisively support King Fu, or directly fall to the Donglin Party and support King Lu to ascend the throne, no matter how he chooses, the political situation in the Southern Ming Dynasty will be much more stable.

There are too many politicians like Ma Shiying who are in power, and without Ma Shiying, there will be Wang Shiying, Li Shiying, and Zhang Shiying, and there is no point in putting the blame on him...... To put it more radically, Shi Kefa is the initiator of all this, and he is the first person responsible for the demise of Nanming.

A politician has the responsibility of a politician, Shi Kefa is a civilian official, there is no problem if he can't fight, but he must win the political struggle, so as to ensure the normal operation of the country and be able to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

The Hongguang Imperial Court sits on most of China, occupies the richest Jiangnan region, and has more than one million troops, while the actual strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only 200,000 people, and all kinds of objective conditions are not much worse than those of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it collapsed in less than a year, and Shi Kefa is not to blame!

This topic is too heavy, Wang Kefan and Fu Guan were silent for a while, everyone understands people, many words can be understood at a glance, and the old and the young have already given birth to a trace of sympathy.

Fu Guan couldn't help but imagine that if he replaced himself with Shi Kefa, he would definitely do better, although this is a bit of hindsight, but one thing must be admitted, Shi Kefa's choice is the worst.

At this time, Teng Shuanglin hurriedly walked over and asked Wang Kefan for instructions to launch a general attack.

According to the rules of the Gongyi battalion, in small-scale battles, several important generals took turns to serve as the commanders of the former enemy, and it was Teng Shuanglin's turn to attack Dongxiang County, but before the general attack, he still asked Wang Kefan to give an order.

"I don't care, everyone listens to you today." Wang Kefan smiled and waved his hand, his prestige in the Gongyi camp was getting higher and higher, and he didn't use these false courtesies to maintain his authority.

Teng Shuanglin bowed and retreated, and Wang Kefan asked Fu Guan a new question.

"Excuse me, uncle, what do you think of Liu Zongzhou?"

"This, the leader of Liu Zong and Zhou Shilin, has a noble character, as for the other ......, people die greatly, so I won't say much."

Liu Zongzhou, a Confucian master in the Ming Dynasty, the leader of Wang Yangming's mind, an idol of the Donglin Party, and a teacher of Huang Zongxi.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty Dorobellebolo went south and defeated the Lu Wang regime who resisted the Qing Dynasty in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Lu King Zhu fled to the Zhoushan Islands by sea, and Liu Zongzhou died of hunger strike, which was a month ago.

If you look at Liu Zongzhou's academic achievements alone, he is worthy of the title of Confucian master, but there are certain problems with this person's political ability and character.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Hongguang Imperial Court, Liu Zongzhou was in an important position, and when he heard that the Qing army had entered Shanhaiguan, he was overjoyed, and advocated that he immediately contact Wu Sangui and Dolgon, "the father and elder of Yanzhong, and the king of Shangyi", to defeat Li Zicheng with the help of the Qing army.

Since the beginning of the Chongzhen period, Liu Zongzhou must go through the procedure of three resignations and three thanks every time he is appointed by the imperial court, and even four resignations and four thanks to show his nobility.

The Ming Dynasty here is about to end, but Liu Zongzhou is calm and unhurried, Emperor Chongzhen sent an envoy from Beijing, and it took a month or two to get to Zhejiang, Liu Zongzhou resolutely resigned and did not accept the appointment, and the envoy took another month or two to return to Beijing, and then took the emperor's appointment to Zhejiang to ......, back and forth for more than a year, Liu Zongzhou rushed to Beijing to take office.

Sentimental!

After the establishment of the Hongguang regime, Liu Zongzhou entered the dynasty to hold important positions, but refused to accept the official title given to him by Emperor Hongguang, calling himself "reckless and lonely minister", pointing at the civil and military generals, saying that this should be beheaded, that should be beheaded, except for the Donglin lineage, everyone mistook the country and traitors, everyone should be beheaded, and later everyone was jointly driven out of the court.

After the Qing army went south, the gentry from all over Zhejiang rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty, Liu Zongzhou decided to commit suicide by hunger strike, and some disciples advised him not to commit suicide and serve the country, Liu Zongzhou said that he was too old to be able to resist the Qing Dynasty Such a difficult job, or died clean.

A few days after the hunger strike, Liu Zongzhou sighed with emotion, he had seen through the red dust, the rise and fall of the world, and the misery of the people, it was not a great event, and then insisted on a hunger strike, calmly starved himself to death, and achieved the goal of the righteous death.

Wang Kefan really can't get used to this kind of person!

"May I ask uncle, do you want to learn from Liu Zongzhou's invitation to live in Shaowu Mansion?"

This question is straight to the heart, extremely sharp, and Fu Guan's face is about to be angry as soon as his face changes. (To be continued......)
