The twilight was getting darker, and the guards of the Doge stood quietly in the night, as tall as statues, except for the bayonet with the tip of the spear, which glowed coldly in the moonlight, adding the only sparkle to the dreary night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Came to a small courtyard in the governor's mansion, Zhang Liang stood outside the courtyard gate, he listened carefully and there was no movement inside, but the lights were still on in the courtyard, looking at the room where the light came, there was a faint smile on his lips, and he walked in.

Walking into the courtyard, there was no human language in the study, and the slight and even sound of flipping books came from time to time through the window, first knocked on the door, and then Zhang Liangji walked in.

"Ruzhai, I'm so interested!"

Luo Bingzhang, who was reading a book, listened to the voice and looked up at the visitor, but there was no wave on his face.

"You're here!"

There was neither joy nor annoyance in his words, and the whole person seemed very calm.

During these days, many former people came to visit him, and in the end they had only one purpose - to persuade him to submit to the Han Governor. At first, he refused, but later he simply ignored it and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Now, at last, such a "big shot" has come!

In the so-called Han Governor's Mansion, I am afraid there is no more prominent person than Zhang Liangji, this is the former governor of Huguang, and he is Luo Bingzhang's top boss. But in the end, the news of Zhang Liangji's surrender to the thief was confirmed through the words of others.

Now, looking at Zhang Liangji in a Confucian robe, Luo Bingzhang no longer needs to doubt it, but although his expression is calm, the disrespect in his words shows his attitude.

"Ru Zhai, you must think that I Zhang Liangji is spineless!"

Zhang Liangji sat directly opposite Luo Bingzhang and looked around again.

"At the beginning, Liang Ji was imprisoned in the prison for several months, and how could others know about the hardships he suffered during this time?"

Before Zhang Liangji finished speaking, Luo Bingzhang snorted coldly.

"Is this the reason for the thief? And what kind of face do you have against the king? ”

"The King?"

Luo Bingzhang's words were exchanged for Zhang Liangji shaking his head.

"What Ruzhai is referring to is Chief Hu in the Forbidden City of Jingshi?"

"You're ......"

The phrase "Chief Hu" came into his ears, but Luo Bingzhang's eyes widened suddenly, first he asked sharply, and then sneered.

"Didn't you Zhang Liangji also feel his kindness and receive his will? Today, it is like this, so you can see your character! ”

The question with a sneer can be described as a three-point question, but Zhang Liangji shook his head disappreciably and said.

"In his day, Liang Ji has not found the true monarch, so naturally he has to do this, and now, since Liang Ji has found my Allah of China, how can he do the thing of recognizing the thief as his father!"

Zhang Liangji's self-defense was exchanged for a burst of laughter from Luo Bingzhang, and in addition to laughing, he even said.

"Hmph, in your Zhang Liangji's eyes, could it be that this traitor is the so-called true ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Bingzhang was interrupted by Zhang Liangji's actions, only to see him pick up the pen and paper on the table, dip it in ink and write a few words on the paper.

"It's ...... by the way"

Looking at the words he wrote on the paper, Luo Bingzhang's eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Zhang Liangji with some puzzlement.

"Fire, earth, gold, water and wood!"

If it were someone else, he might not know what Zhang Liangji was talking about, but for Luo Bingzhang, who had been working hard for more than 30 years, he naturally knew what Zhang Liangji was talking about, he was talking about the royal family of the previous dynasty.

"Hmph, it's nonsense, and after the martyrdom, it will survive in the world!"

Although he is an official of this dynasty, for Luo Bingzhang, he knows very well about the affairs of the previous dynasty.

"Did that Ruzhai ever remember the "Jianshu people" contained in the history books! ”

"Jianshu people!"

Eyes widened in surprise, although the "Jianshu people" in the history of the Ming Dynasty are only a few crosses, but this is called the "Jianshu people" Zhu Wengui, is indeed the descendant of the Jianwen Emperor of the previous dynasty, he was imprisoned in the Guang'an Palace in the central capital at the age of two, and was not released until he was fifty-six or seventeen years old.

"Those who have a destiny are left to their own devices."

In Luo Bingzhang's surprise, Zhang Liangji said the words of the former Yingzong when he released the Jianshu people. In fact, he did not initially associate Zhu Yifeng with the Jianshu people, let alone with the previous dynasty, because he himself did not associate this with it, and the reason why he mentioned this matter was because Hu Linyi had a long conversation with him all night under the city of Yuezhou.

That is, under the city of Yuezhou, Hu Linyi listed several names, which were the names of the ancestors of the Han Governor Zhu family, that is, among those names, he found a strange place.

"Zhu Shengqi, Zhu Shengdong, Zhu Shuncan, Zhu Shunxi, Zhu Daoming, Zhu Daobu, Zhu Yifeng, Zhu Yitao, ......"

Looking at the names listed on the paper in surprise, Luo Bingzhang vaguely guessed something.

"These ......"

"Look at the words......"

After replacing "Qi", "Xi", "Ming", and "Tao" with another phonetic or nearphonetic word, Luo Bingzhang immediately understood everything, and he looked at the names on the paper in surprise.

"Zhu San is Wang Shiyuan, and Ling Chi was executed. Iko ...... All of them are immediately slashed. ”

In Luo Bingzhang's surprise, Zhang Liangji said "the case of the third prince of Zhu in the forty-fifth year of Kangxi", and then said it quite seriously.

"After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the Ming royal family was killed several times, and those who escaped by luck were all incognito, the ancestors of the Han Governor sought self-protection, although they did not change their names, although they followed the ancestral teachings, but they had to be cautious about it, they followed the emperor's generation, but their names were borrowed to pass the fake words, such as the father of the Han Governor, Zhu Daoming, the Han Governor Zhu Yifeng, so the wrong generation is not policed by the outside world, such as the second uncle of the Han Governor, although Zhu Daobu, and his son is Zhu Yitao's fake "Lu" ......"

In the eyes of others, the name "Han Du" is just a title, but in Zhang Liangji's view, the word "Han Du" has a deeper meaning, such as the future can be "Han Wang", which is naturally different from the Cantonese bandits.

"After Han Du is really a dignified man, he has a destiny of heaven, and since he should be the Allah of my China, after Han Du rises up now, he will return to China, is not it a move to conform to the destiny of heaven, and I hope that Ruzhai will not make mistakes!"

What is Destiny?

The Mandate of Heaven is always ethereal, but for any reader, this seemingly ethereal Mandate of Heaven will always have a certain impact on them, even if it is like Luo Bingzhang.

Luo Bingzhang didn't think anything about the so-called "After the Emperor Ming", but he knew very well what this banner meant to the Han people, even if the banner played by the Cantonese bandits at the beginning of the army was not also "anti-Qing and Ming"? If the so-called "Han Du" in the future played the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", he would naturally be able to win the hearts of the people.

Can a banner of "former dynasty" be exchanged for the hearts of the people?

At least part of it can be exchanged, and Luo Bingzhang, who is a native of Guangdong, doesn't know that although the former Ming Dynasty has been dead for nearly 200 years since Yongli, it is still remembered by the people, whether it is Hongmen or Tiandihui, all under the banner of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty". Moreover, the so-called identity of "after the emperor" is also very demagogic to ordinary people, and for many people, this bloodline alone means that it has a "mandate of heaven".

Mandate of Heaven!

If the people believe in the Mandate of Heaven, then what can this court do? Thinking of the current situation, Luo Bingzhang's mind couldn't help but waver, and his eyes became a little confused.

Don't make a mistake!

Reading Zhang Liangji's reminder in his heart, Luo Bingzhang asked rhetorically.

"Is it because of this that Shi Qing is willing to be used by Han Du!"

A slight change in the title, so that Zhang Liang smiled from the bottom of his heart, he was the official of the frontier he knew Hanchen's mind better than anyone else, for most Hanchen, maybe they said "my emperor Shengming", but in fact, the reality of "Manchu and Han Dynasty" is that no one can ignore, in that "first worship Manchuria" atmosphere, Hanchen will always be inferior to Manchu The reality is always reminding them, what kind of people they are, and because of this, except for a few people, most of the Hanchen's loyalty to the Manchu court is also on the surface, All it takes is proper lobbying to bring them to obedience.

Just like him Zhang Liangji, when the safety of his family was guaranteed, he made a decisive choice when he realized that the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom was about to run out.

"Please also ask Ruzhai to write a letter to his family, so that the Han Governor can send someone to take the family to Wuchang, so as not to be harmed by the Manchus!"

Seeing that his mind was fluctuating, Zhang Liangji specially reminded him that if Han Du hadn't sent someone to take his family to Wuchang, how could he have no worries?

In the face of Zhang Liangji's request, Luo Bingzhang couldn't help but fall into thought again, he first thought of his ambition to achieve a career, and then thought of the emperor's grace for more than ten years, and also the ubiquitous "Manchu and Han Dynasty" in the court, on the surface, the emperor is "both Manchu and Han, not a little biased", but in fact, since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it has adhered to the principle of "the first to worship Manchuria, according to the appropriate", as for the royal precepts of the suspicion of Han officials is also repeatedly visible. It is even said that even the emperor has publicly said that "Han Shangshu I can't fully believe it", and it is precisely because of this that he will give the first choice to the banner man in the shortage of good fat in the province.

In this case, Hanchen is almost always submissive, in vain for the sake of self-preservation, silent, thinking that to protect his life, the Kangxi Dynasty is like this, and now it has never been so! So much so that before leaving the office, the master specially told him the way to protect himself, and reminded him with the words when Tu Tianxiang was reprimanded.

"I'm Han, use me, and go back to my hometown to teach without me!"

This is the situation of the seemingly beautiful Hanchen in the court! After thinking for a long time, Luo Bingzhang looked at Zhang Liangji and asked,

"What Shi Qing said just now is the words of Han Du and the guess of his subordinates?" (To be continued.) )
