Nanking.

Qinhuai wind and moon, spring * color does not end with the death of the country.

In that year, Duoduo led the Qing army south, and Nanjing surrendered without a fight. A few years have passed, the city is still the same lively and prosperous, although the original Qinhuai Bayan and celebrities have been blown away with the rain and wind, a new generation of "talented and beautiful women" has emerged again...... Xiao Bayan, the twelve hairpins of the new Jinling, all of them are famous, and the celebrities who drag their braids are all flocking to it.

In addition to men and women, the most popular ones in Nanjing are Liu Jingting's comments and Li Yu's troupe.

Liu Jingting is good at saying "Water Margin", and if you listen to it once, it will cost a high price of one or two silver, and you have to make a decision more than ten days in advance, otherwise there will be no schedule. Li Yu is a prolific writer, good at writing novels and scripts, and has organized a troupe by himself, and every performance is full. Whenever the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in Nanjing held a church meeting, they had to invite the two of them to perform, so that the church meeting could be regarded as of a high grade.

(All of you are experts who have read countless films, and you must have read the "Meat Futon" series, and the original novel is Li Yu's masterpiece.) ）

Today in Zhangfu Taoyuan in the east of the city, there was another grand hall meeting, and Liu Jingting and Li Yu were invited.

Of course, the owner of Zhang's house is surnamed Zhang, this public name is Zhang Dai, Tao'an, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, born in a family of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and is over 50 years old this year. He does not care about external affairs in his life, he likes to be romantic and elegant, and he is also erudite and talented, calligraphy, painting, silk and bamboo, food and tea ceremony, flowers and birds and antiques, subsets of classics and history, astronomy and geography, all proficient.

In other words, Zhang Dai is a tasteful family. I have played for a lifetime, and I have been chic for a lifetime, and I have been doing learning in my spare time. The prose sketches are all well written, if the Jia Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions" does not collapse, after Jia Baoyu gets old, he will basically be like this...... For this kind of non-threatening opposition celebrities, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always given preferential treatment, showing favor and wooing, from Hong Chengchou to Ma Guozhu. If Zhang Dai asks them for something, he will give them some face.

Today's meeting in Zhang's mansion is nominally for his concubine's birthday. In fact, it was for Qian Qianyi, who had just been released from prison, to clean up the dust.

Qian Qianyi is the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, and the article can be good at everything, but the bones are too soft. He surrendered to the Manchus and became a traitor, but his conscience was uneasy. Soon resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Because of his many connections with the anti-Qing righteous teacher, he has been imprisoned twice in just a few years.

The first time he was arrested, he was released from prison quickly, but the second time he almost killed Qian Qianyi. Jiangyin Huang Yuqi plotted to raise troops to resist the Qing Dynasty and instigated Qian Qianyi to participate in the uprising, Qian Qianyi did not agree, but he did not denounce him, and later Huang Yuqi was arrested. Qian Qianyi was also arrested.

This is a crime of cover-up, even if the matter is revealed. Qian Qianyi didn't have much trouble, but the governor of Fengyang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty saw that he was not pleasing to his eyes, and easily filled in a charge for him, "Qianyi once left Huang Yuqi to stay at his house, and promised to help recruit soldiers...... "From knowing that he did not report it, he directly participated in the rebellion, and Qian Qianyi's head was in danger.

At the critical moment, he had to rely on his wife to save his life, Liu Ru tried his best to rescue him in many ways, and finally saved Qian Qian from disaster. Zhang Dai also made a lot of efforts to match the bridge, and he was not afraid of trouble, Qian Qianyi had just been released from prison, and invited Nanjing celebrities to drink for him.

Gongs and drums sounded in unison, the opening scene, the first is "Eight Immortals Wishing Birthday", the second is "Blue Bridge Meets Immortals", all of which are the opening scenes of birthday celebrations, and the third "Huizong Prostitution" is today's finale, a comedy with twists and turns, and laughter in the field.

On the stage, a Dan role plays Li Shishi, and a reverse character plays Song Huizong, all of which are carefully selected by Li Yu.

The deep courtyard, the lively stage, the beautiful girl ring, the flowers and the young man in brocade clothes, the new green tea leaves slowly unfolded in the water, and in the corner under the flower stand behind, there were still two monks sitting.

"This play is obviously "Zhengde Prostitution", how can it be Song Huizong's head?" The shorter monk's name is Jiang Cai, Chongzhen four years of jinshi, after the Qing army went south, he cut his hair and became a monk, but he did not have the consciousness of being a monk, and he has always called himself a veteran of Xuanzhou.

"It's just a cover-up, Li Yu's troupe has turned purple in the past two years, I don't know how many people are watching it, so I have to be careful." The higher monk's name is Zhang Zhengchen, and he is also Chongzhen's four-year jinshi, the same year of Jiang Cai, he is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, when Boluo invaded south, he organized volunteers to stick to Zheshan County, and after the defeat of the army, he also escaped into the empty door, and became a monk in order to avoid trouble, in fact, he was also a fake monk.

"You brought me all the way here, not just to watch the show, do you want to give 'the water too cold' stinky feet? Hey, this man is cowardly and unscrupulous, and I don't want to be with him! Jiang Cai mentioned Qian Qianyi, his face full of disdain.

"I'm looking for you because I have a confidential matter to discuss......

Zhang Zhengchen had just said halfway through when the noisy gongs, drums, and bamboos suddenly stopped sounding, and the drama on the stage also stopped.

Under the pergola in front, a group of people got up to greet the gate, led by Qian Qianyi and Zhang Dai, Jiang Cai and Zhang Zhengchen frowned, and their expressions were a little nervous. Theoretically, both of them were wanted criminals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they usually hid in the temple for nothing, but if they were bumped into by the Manchu officials, they were likely to show their feet.

After a short time, Ma Guozhu and Qian Qianyi walked side by side, with a kind smile on their faces, and kept nodding to everyone, Tian Xionghu, who was dressed in military uniform, followed with a face on his face, eagle and wolf, and fierce eyes, Zhang Zhengchen and Jiang Cai both retracted their gazes and sat upright, like two eminent monks.

After Ma Guozhu and Tian Xiong sat down, the drama on the stage continued to sing.

"Isn't this "Zhengde Prostitution"? Hehehe, why change it to Song Huizong? It's good to play Zhengde, and let everyone in the world see how absurd and immoral the former Ming Emperor was, I only want to enter the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty and save the people from fire and water......" Ma Guozhu talked and laughed and was full of aura, but unfortunately there were few responders, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

"This drama existed in the early years, and the old drama was revised. Let's just have fun. Qian Qianyi responded without being salty, and there was no cold scene.

"The official was overlooked for a while, which made the pastor feel wronged. Today I am here to make amends. This case even the regent (Dolgon) was alarmed, and the official ate the boss and hung up, and asked the shepherd to let me go, don't be angry again...... "Ma Guozhu was very polite to Qian Qianyi, Qian Qianyi was called Mu Zhai, he was commensurate with the shepherd, and he called himself the official. There was no shelf for a provincial governor. Of course, having said that, although Qian Qianyi has no official status now, his status is still very high. The governor of a province had no stand before him.

"Qian is a criminal minister, and he doesn't dare to be treated so favorably as a governor." Qian Qianyi smiled reservedly, his words were like gold, he had been up and down in the sea for many years. Three ups and three downs. is accustomed to all kinds of big scenes, and Ma Guozhu's fluttering words are impossible to move him.

"Hehehe, Mu Gong is a generation of Wenzong, and it is always inevitable to communicate back and forth, but the tree is a big wind, and there are always some bandits who want to use the name of Mu Gong to demagogue. Hmph, Huang Yuqi is just a madman, and it is natural for him to rebel against the Nine Clans. I just dragged the shepherd in, but fortunately, the emperor Shengming didn't hurt my Jiangnan Wenqi......"

Ma Guozhu's words seem to be heartfelt. In fact, it implied threats and warnings, and after a few more idle words, he finally threw out his intention: "Shanxi Jiang Huang raised troops to make a rebellion, and the regent led a large army to collect it, and while he was busy with military affairs, he was still very concerned about the herdman. Hearing that Mu Gong and Huang Yuqi are not too deeply entangled, the regent was deeply pleased, and instructed the official to convey on his behalf that the imperial court still has a lot to borrow from Mu Gong, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, please choose any one of the three places to raise, and it will be used again in the near future......"

This is house arrest and surveillance in disguise, but the conditions are relatively favorable, Nanjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou are both good places, you can pick one at random and stay, and you are not allowed to run around anymore.

"Thank you, Lord Regent." Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said, "Qian has just been released from prison, and he will have to discuss with Humble Jing where he will live in the future, and he will reply to the governor soon." ”

Qian Qianyi's wife is Liu Ruyi, one of Qin Huai's Bayan, born in the dust but with noble ambitions, she is a figure like Liang Hongyu and Li Shishi, and she is very famous in later generations.

"Haha, the shepherd's old husband and young wife, I am really afraid of my wife. Well, why don't you see where Madame Zun is? Ma Guozhu looked left and right, but he didn't see any woman like Liu Rus.

"It's a little sick and it's inconvenient to see guests."

"Alas, what a pity! I have heard the name of Hedongjun for a long time (Liu Ru is self-named Hedongjun), but he is stingy and ......"

Under the flower stand in the back, Zhang Zhengchen and Jiang Cai whispered.

"That is Tian Xiong, the rebel general who betrayed Emperor Anzong, I can't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!" Zhang Zhengchen stared at Tian Xiong's back, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.

"Yes, this kind of traitor is the most hateful, who can slash this fang, I, a veteran of Xuanzhou, am willing to drive it for the rest of my life!" Jiang Cai also gritted his teeth, if it weren't for the many guards around Ma Guozhu and Tian Xiong, they would have pounced on them a long time ago.

Tian Xiong turned out to be the general of Huang Degong in the four towns of Jiangnan.

Huang Degong was the strongest in the four towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was also the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty, when Duoduo went south, Emperor Hongguang fled from Nanjing to Huang Degong's army, Huang Degong and the Qing army fought fiercely, and unfortunately died. His generals Tian Xiong and Ma Degong secretly colluded with the Qing army, and after Huang Degong's death, the two of them immediately took Emperor Hongguang to ask the Qing army for credit.

Emperor Hongguang is a big fat man, Tian Xiong carries people, Ma Degong lifts his legs, runs fast with a smoke, Emperor Hongguang keeps begging and crying, and the skin of Tian Xiong's neck is opened, and blood bursts out, but Tian Xiong endures it and dedicates him to Duoduo with his own hands...... With such a great achievement, Tian Xiong was naturally reused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, and he has been fighting against Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, for several years.

……

Let's talk.

Qian Qianyi was famous for "the water is too cold" and "the scalp is itchy", and among the many civil and military generals who defected and surrendered at the end of the Ming Dynasty, his status was too high, so he was criticized and discredited. But objectively speaking, he did not have too many evil deeds after surrendering, and in his later years, he also supported the anti-Qing movement, and secretly communicated with Zheng Chenggong and the Yongli regime, at least it can be said that his conscience is not clear.

The traitors who really aided the abuses were still Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others, second-class civil officials such as Jin Zhijun, Feng Quan, etc., and military generals such as Tian Xiong, Li Guoying, etc., all of whom were standard traitors who were completely involved in the arms of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but these people were not as famous as Qian Qianyi, so they were not infamous in later generations.

Qian Qianyi is a cowardly literati in his bones, and he is not worthy of sympathy as a traitor, but he can be used as a united front object. (To be continued......)
