Chapter 800: Lu Jiude
"Smack!" Lu Jiude slapped his hand on the table in annoyance, only to feel a hot pain in his throat and eyes, and poured the teacup into his mouth, but he couldn't pour half a drop of water
。
The time has come to July of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the sun is shining brightly in the courtyard outside, there is no wind, and the heat is almost crazy.
There was sweat all over the fingers, and even the vest was wet.
He wiped his hand on his thigh fiercely, wiping the sweat from his palm. Then he used his fingers to flick the pants under his crotch, it was so hot that the crotch was already stuck to the root of his thighs. Even if a eunuch is missing that thing, it is still extremely uncomfortable.
His uncivilized behavior made Fu Shan, who was sitting next to him, raise his eyebrows.
In the past half a month, it was a torture to Lu Jiude, and he turned around in a big circle between Tianchang, Yizhen, Shouzhou, and Yangzhou in twenty days. It can be said that people don't undress, horses don't unsaddle, and two horses are killed in one go, until he is so tired that he is completely black and thin, and he is no longer like the pampered big white fat man at the beginning.
Needless to ask, he crossed the river this time to persuade the commanders of the towns in Jiangbei to unite and send Fu Xiang to the emperor's throne.
It's not that Lu Jiude wants to be greedy for the dragon's work, since he entered the palace as a eunuch at the age of six, it has been sixty-four years now. The ups and downs of personnel in the Forbidden City, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs of honor and disgrace. As the saying goes: watch him rise up, watch him collapse.
In the past 60 years, Lu Jiude doesn't know how many people he has seen for a while, and then there is a place to collapse and die. As a seventy-year-old man, he has long regarded the so-called fame and power lightly. Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron threshold, there will eventually be a soil steamed bun. He is not in good health, he knows that his days are numbered, and there is not much to worry about in the world.
It's just the great kindness of King Fu's thousand years old, but he has never repaid it. If he doesn't put Fu Fan in the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor for a day, he refuses to close his eyes for a day.
When he was in the Beijing Imperial Palace, King Fu's mother Zheng Guifei was an impatient person, so he completely handed over Chitose to Lu Jiude, his companion. [Marshmallow]
It can be said that Lao Fu Wang is the church of Lu Jiude who speaks and the church walks. To this day, he still remembers the first time Chitose spoke, the first time he walked. Although he didn't dare to think so, in his heart, Lu Jiude had long regarded Lao Fu Wang as his own son.
Lu Jiude has cried twice in his life, both for Lao Fuwang.
The first time was when Lao Fu Wang failed to seize the throne and was driven to Luoyang by the civil officials, and he was sent to Nanjing to see the imperial tomb of Emperor Taizu
。 When Lao Fuwang broke up, Lu Jiude knew that if he said goodbye today, the two would not have a chance to get together in the future, so he couldn't help but burst into tears.
The second time was when I heard that Lao Fuwang was cut by Li Chuang, boiled into a pot of broth with venison, and held a so-called Fulu banquet. As soon as he heard the news, Lu Jiude fainted from crying and lay in bed for three days without eating or drinking. Later, after hearing that King Fu escaped from Luoyang, he regained his strength.
Since the fall of Beijing and the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Jiude has made up his mind that even if he fights for his life, he will help King Fu to the throne of the emperor. Think back then, if Lao Fu Wang was not driven out of the capital, but became the Son of Heaven, would the Ming Dynasty be defeated by Chongzhen's eager child, and would Lao Fu Wang die? This time, Fuwang Chitose must ascend the throne, and whoever dares to stop in front of him will be the enemy of our family.
Therefore, after Fang Yizhi fled from Beijing to Liudu and brought the news that the direct bloodlines of the three Chongzhen emperors, the crown prince and the two kings of Yong and Ding, had fallen into the hands of the thieves, Lu Jiude's whole person cheered up and moved around. But as an internal servant, he can hardly think about it on the side of the civil official. The Ming Dynasty and the civil official system and eunuchs are heaven and earth, and there is no possibility of cooperation, especially Donglin.
Lu Jiude set his eyes on Ma Shiying, Lao Ma held military power in his hands, and his prestige in the Nanzhili army was extremely high. And this man is not ashamed, he is undisciplined, as long as you give him certain benefits, he can do anything.
When Lu Jiude proposed to support King Fu and promised that once Fu Fan succeeded to the throne, Ma Shiying would enter the cabinet as the prime minister, Ma Shilang nodded very happily.
As a result, there was a so-called struggle between the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China for "supporting blessings" and "supporting Lu", and the small court in Nanjing had a tendency to split.
Originally, this situation was also expected by Lu Jiude, when King Fu and Donglin had become enemies, the civil officials naturally did not want to see the Fu Fan succeed the great treasure and give them a political reckoning.
When Lu Jiude was thinking about what to do next, a piece of news came that made him angry---- Ma Shiying was shaken----- he compromised with Shi Kefa, and the two factions each gave in one step: let King Gui inherit the throne, and King Lu became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, similar to the role of Zhao Gou in the Southern Song Dynasty.
After making trouble for a long time, in the end there was nothing to do with King Fu.
Ma Yaocao's thoughts, Lu Jiude knows best, this old bureaucrat is a ruffian, as long as he is an official, as long as he can enter the cabinet, he has great power, no matter who is the emperor, he has nothing to do with Ma Shiying
。
When Lu Jiude was about to go to find Ma Shiying's bad luck, the willows were bright: Ma Shiying set up a banquet to invite the leaders of Donglin, in order to reach an understanding with them and have fewer assistants on his way to the cabinet in the future. However, the people of Donglin looked down on Ma Yaocao at all, and they didn't go alone.
Ma Shiying went to Yuejianglou early in the morning, but waited for two or three hours, from dawn to afternoon, and no one waited. As a result, Ma Yaocao became a joke in Nanjing.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "great shame".
Lao Ma, Lu Jiude is a person who understands. On the surface, this man seems to be undisciplined and brazen, but sometimes he is extremely narrow-minded and vindictive.
If he doesn't win back this face, he won't want to mix in Nanjing City in the future.
After hearing the news, Lu Jiude gloated, but also knew that his opportunity had come.
Sure enough, this Ma Yaocao's revenge did not stay overnight, and he went to Yuejiang Tower on the front foot, and invited Lu Jiude over on the back foot, proposing that the two sides cooperate to help King Fu ascend the throne.
At that time, Lu Jiude couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words to Ma Shiying.
Ma Shiying is a person who can afford to let go, so he immediately apologized to Lu Jiude, and said with a wry smile: "Duke De, it is useless to say these angry words now. The reason why Ma hesitated on this matter was because he couldn't bear the pressure of Donglin. After all, no matter which vassal king ascends the throne in the future, the major affairs of the court will have to rely on the support of the princes of Donglin. There is a lot of waste to be done, and I don't want to split the court because of this matter. In this way, it is not beneficial to the country or the imperial court. So, there was a compromise. ”
"However, this time Donglin insulted me too much, and the old man had to accept it. Degong, the old man only asks you one sentence, what do you think about this matter? ”
Seeing Ma Shiying's sincere eyes, Lu Jiude's anger also disappeared, and he sighed: "Our family is deeply favored by Emperor Shenzong and Concubine Zheng Guifei, and I have not wanted to repay their great kindness all these years, even if I don't want to abandon this old life." It's just that the situation has reversed, and now that the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are all bent on supporting King Gui, what can our family think of. Is it possible to lead troops into Nanjing? Not to mention how many people in the Nanjing Army will fight with our family at that time, when the time comes, Shi Xianzhi only needs to stand at the head of the city and shout, and the team will disperse. After all, he is the secretary of the military department, and he holds a military talisman in his hand, and you and I can't help him. ”
Speaking of this, he looked dejected.
Ma Shiying laughed when she heard this
。
Lu Jiude was unhappy in his heart: "What are you laughing at, when can you still laugh." ”
Ma Shiying shook his head with a smile: "Duke De's eyes are stuck in a mere Nanjing City, haha, I don't blame you, I don't blame you, the so-called authorities are confused, and care is chaotic." Degong, you might as well set your sights on Jiangbei. ”
Lu Jiude's body was shocked, and he lost his voice and shouted: "Five towns in Jiangbei? ”
The five towns of Jiangbei are the five army leaders who are now stationed north of the Yangtze River: Sun Yuan of the Ningxiang Army, Gao Jie of the Qin Army, Liu Zeqing of the Shandong Army, Huang Degong of the Luzhou Army, and Liu Liangzuo of the Shouzhou Army.
Ma Shiying said: "The battle in the court is like everyone sitting down to eat together, and then each taking a step back, and an agreement that everyone can accept." But what Donglin means now is that he wants the family to eat up the whole table of wine and food, and he wants to grab our chopsticks. Hehe, there are many of them, and you and I can't fight for them. I had no choice but to flip the table and open another seat. ”
"As the Duke of Germany just said, if we gather the soldiers and horses near Nanjing to enter and stay in the capital to implement martial law, these old men of the Nanjing army know best, and they are as timid as mice. When the time comes, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and others will ascend to the top and shout, and they may disperse. After all, the prestige of the princes of Donglin is there, and the prestige is especially there. However, the soldiers and horses of the five towns in Jiangbei are different. ”
"These soldiers and men have their hands stained with human blood, and if there is a benefit, they will go up, and if there is no benefit, even if the Son of Heaven comes, they will not pay attention to it. Since they entered Jianghuai to eat, they have attacked cities and plundered land, and everything has been done, so do they care about Donglin? That's right, you and I can't help the Donglin Party, but they can't help it! ”
"Wonderful!" Lu Jiude applauded: "Yaocao's words really cut through the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, and woke up the dreamer with one word." Yaocao, what should you do to persuade the five towns of Jiangbei to support Dai Fufan? ”
"What else can it be, it's nothing more than high-ranking officials and golden silk things." Ma Shiying smiled confidently: "The temperament of those generals who lead the troops, the old man knows best." ”
"The official can give them permission, as long as the Fu Fan ascends the throne, all of them will be allowed." Lu Jiude gritted his teeth: "As for gold and silver, our family has been in Nanjing for more than 20 years, and the eunuchs are rich. Anyway, I'm already old, and I don't have any children or grandchildren, so it's hard to bring the money into the coffin. Tomorrow, our family will take all the soft at hand and go to Jiangbei to be a lobbyist. ”
Ma Shiying: "If it doesn't work tomorrow, Duke De will cross the river tonight." ”
