Chapter 912: The First Wave of Party Fighting

ο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώ

Fu Shan's remarks are exactly what has been the fierce party struggle between the DPRK and China over the past two months.

Up to now, the original pro-Fu faction led by Ma Shiying and the Donglin Party have reached the point of incompatibility.

The incident started when Shi Kefa went north to supervise the teacher, Shi Xianzhi was actually not a person of outstanding prestige during the Chongzhen period, and he was not a pivotal figure in Donglin. Whether it is military talent or political talent, in fact, it is not as good as several party leaders in Donglin. Now the reason why he has become the leader of Donglin is because he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

In the past, although Nanjing had set up a complete set of central organs like Beijing, it had no office or power, and it was a pure pension institution, and Nanjing's military and political affairs were in the hands of Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch who stayed behind.

It is precisely because this position is so important that after the hundred officials crossed to the south, Shi Kefa became the head of the hundred officials. Later, he became the first assistant of the cabinet of the Hongguang Dynasty.

After all, he has been in charge of the military and political affairs of Nanjing for many years, and if he is in charge of Nanjing and is the head of the cabinet, the people of the pro-blessing faction will have to worry a lot about acting.

Probably realizing one point, Ma Shiying took the private letter that Shi Kefa wrote to himself to see Emperor Hongguang.

Hongguang was furious, and on the second day, he ordered Shi Kefa to go north to supervise the division and drive him out of the imperial court.

As soon as Shi Kefa left, the pro-blessing faction immediately looked for an opportunity to prepare to launch.

The opportunity soon came, and soon, Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Although the ministers from the north are shy and shy, they may be coerced and subordinate, and the situation is not submissive. If you can pull yourself out of the south, you can decide how to use it. ”

It means that when Beijing fell, many civilian officials fell into the hands of Li Zicheng and were forced to surrender to save their lives. If they really have the heart to come south, the court should not ask about the past and still reuse it.

Lao Zhang's excerpt is actually a bit selfish, after all, most of the civil officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were from Donglin. Now because of the dirty matter of surrendering Li Chuang, they have been removed from the official status of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and none of them have been found.

But after all, it is the Donglin lineage, and many people are still very capable. If they can restore their official status and introduce the new Hongguang Dynasty, they can also strengthen the power of Donglin.

Immediately, Zhang Shenyan recommended Wu Fu to Hongguang.

Wu Fu is a powerful character, he is a Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, he has been an official for decades, starting from a small county, until the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan. In Chongzhen's fifteen years, he also served as a scholar of Dongge University and served as a second assistant in the cabinet.

Emperor Hongguang agreed, and sent a decree to summon Wu Fu and pardon his sins.

This stabbed the hornet's nest of the pro-blessing faction. This Wu Fu is not a scholar like Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zhang Shenyan. His position is very high, and if he enters the court, it is not good to say that he will have a position in the cabinet.

In the face of such a ruthless character, everyone in the pro-blessing faction was frightened and decided to do whatever it took to obstruct it.

On the morning of October 23, when the court was over, and the courtiers were just about to disperse, Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle, suddenly stood up with a group of lords and shouted: "Don't leave for the time being, there are traitors in the court, which endangers the country's society and must be eradicated as soon as possible." ”

He is a cannon under Ma Shiying, and his combat effectiveness is outstanding.

The ministers were at a loss, and Liu Kongzhao suddenly pointed to Zhang Shenyan, the minister of the left class, and said, "This person is Zhang Shenyan." ”

The ministers were even more surprised. Liu Kongzhao then pointed at Zhang Shenyan and scolded: "Snow shame to eliminate the evil, prevent the river and the river, and raise the courtiers to focus on this." Today we will talk about promoting officials, and tomorrow we will talk about promotions. Ignore military ministers, select civil ministers, and form a party for personal gain. The recommended Wu Fu and Zheng Sanjun are contrary to the constitution, and they are really traitors. "The sound of the throne is loud.

Zhang Shenyan knew that this Liu Kongzhao was a cannon, and the more you paid attention to him, the more energetic he became, so he simply stood there without saying a word and ignored him.

Donglin jumped out of the matter: "Zhang Shenyan's life is there, and the incident is hastily created, or there is something unknown, which cannot be said to be selfish." Wu Fu has always had a clear hope, and An De is accused of treachery? ”

Gao Hongtu, a university scholar, said sharply: "The tomb minister has his own roots, why not fight for the palace?" ”

Emperor Hongguang was stunned for a long time, and then he came back to his senses and said: "All civil and military officials should be harmonious, and don't be extreme." ”

Who knew that Liu Kongzhao suddenly took out a knife from his sleeve and killed Zhang Shenyan: "Kill this old traitor!" ”

Zhang Shenyan was busy tossing and turning in the crowd to avoid each other. Liu Kongzhao chased after him, and the class was in chaos for a while.

The eunuch Han Zanzhou shouted loudly from the palace: "There has been no such ceremony since ancient times. Don't be rude! ”

Only then did Liu Kongzhao put away his knife, and cried bitterly on the ground: "Zhang Shenyan is not as good as a military minister. ”

The imperial historian Sun Fan and others couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to impeach: "The first emperor cut the Wen Cao Jiang and returned to the Wu Cao River, and he didn't see any cause; And the officials and departments have no other responsibilities except for promotion and promotion. Why did the court humiliate Tsukasa Jae? ”

Seeing that the hundred officials were in a mess, Emperor Hongguang was originally a character who was kind to the mud, but after a few vague words, he retreated.

But Wu Fu's comeback was no longer mentioned, and he was stirred up by the Yongfu faction and others.

The first battle was downwind, and Ma Shiying, as the soul of the Yongfu faction, felt that it was time to take out Zhang Shenyan while the iron was hot.

After all, Zhang Shenyan is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the use of human rights in the imperial court, and to put it mildly, it is to issue official hats to people.

Ma Shiying is bent on making Ruan Dacheng make a comeback to repay his kindness back then. But with Zhang Shenyan, it is impossible for Lao Ruan to go out of the mountain.

So, the next day, Liu Kongzhao once again impeached Zhang Shenyan and said:

"The minister saw that he was a pseudo-order, and he was a shy minister, and he was not obedient. Once it is corrected, there is no need to be harsh. The audience was stunned. I also saw that he recommended Wu Fu, which is even more different. He was appointed to supervise the teacher, stayed for three months, and went abroad. After the death, he was sent to live in a leisurely life. Sanjun Bao used Hou Sui, mourned the teacher, and quoted Wu Chang when recruiting power to plant the party. These are all sinners for all eternity, why should they be recommended? Shen Yan originally had two hearts. When the temple decided to set up the Lord, it was difficult to distinguish between the two sides, and everyone was speechless. The courtiers are qualitative. Fu Qi took back the order of His Majesty Wu Fu, and punished Shen Yan for accepting bribes, thinking that it was a ring of deceiving the king and misleading the country. ”

Zhang Shen was discerning, and because he was angry, he simply said that he asked Zhishi to retire because of old age and illness.

Although Emperor Hongguang is very uninterested in Donglin, he has only been on the throne for more than ten days, and his butt has not been hot, and Zhang Shenyan, the head of the six Shangshu, is about to resign, and it is very shameless to say it. So, he issued an order to comfort and reconcile him and Liu Kongzhao.

It is said that at this time, everyone should take a step back, temporarily suspend their troops, and wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle later. After all, Wu Fu has been Li Zicheng's puppet official, and he has already been politically stained. Liu Caojiang's words can be regarded as catching Zhang Shenyan's handle.

But Donglin's group of scholars are used to being arrogant, and their minds are relatively naΓ―ve, thinking that the current Hongguang Emperor is still Chongzhen who was fooled by them and couldn't find the north.

Next, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang followed in the fun. Emperor Hongguang was dumbfounded, there are only a few people in the cabinet, and there are two cabinet elders who want to pick a child, plus Zhang Shenyan, if they are all gone, the court will not be shut down immediately.

He specially sent the official of Honglu Temple to the house where the two lived to preach and retain.

After coming down, Hongguang also summoned the auxiliary ministers Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and Ma Shiying in the palace to talk to the two factions.

But when it came to it, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang were not only not moved, but impeached Lu Jiude and Han Zanzhou, the emperor's most trusted heroes and close ministers, for corruption and perversion of the law in front of the emperor, and demanded that the emperor immediately take down the two of them and hand them over to the court for punishment.

Now, it is completely not giving the emperor face.

On October 27, in order to exert pressure on the emperor, Zhang Shenyan asked for a second reprimand, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it. Donglin cadres, Lu Daqi, the left attendant of the ministry, as Zhang Shangshu's deputy, and Donglin cadres, also came to join in the fun, and at the same time proposed to resign. Emperor, don't allow it.

On October 28, Lao Zhang asked for his resignation for the third time, but Emperor Hongguang refused to allow it. Zhang Shenyan no longer went to the court and no longer went to the ministry to see things. Anyway, in a word, if you don't cure the crimes of Lu Jiude and Han Zanzhou, and if you can't use Wu Fu, the old man will be passive and slacking off.

These completely angered Emperor Hongguang.

Emperor Hongguang has a characteristic, he is particularly short-sighted, and he remembers the merits of Ma Shiying, Sun Yuan, Lu Jiude, and Han Zanzhou, anyway, he doesn't care how these heroes play in the middle of the court and outside the court. But if someone finds them uncomfortable, it is to slap the emperor in the face.

The emperor was furious: "Zhang Shenyan said that if you don't come to work, okay, I will order you to go to the court to do things." He ordered the officials of the ministry to urge Zhang Shenyan to take office to manage affairs.

Zhang Shenyan was still playing with his temper, thinking that if he persisted, the emperor would give in.

It's a pity that he doesn't understand what kind of person Hongguang is.

On the eighth day of November, Emperor Hongguang issued a special edict to praise Liu Kongzhao for his "meritorious service".

In two days, Zhang Shenyan's request was approved, and the silver coin was fastened and the grace was given.

So, Lao Zhang retired like this.

If he is facing Emperor Chongzhen, reading books (http://) it is a pity that he meets Hongguang, the famous "king of debauchery" in the history books, the so-called king of debauchery, generally speaking, people who dare to do unexpected things.

Therefore, Lao Zhang lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Zhang Shenyan said to Shi, seven days later, Lu Daqi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, returned to his hometown after illness, and Gu Xichou, who was not of the Donglin faction, acted as an agent to exercise the authority of the Ministry of Officials. Since then, all the positions of the Donglin Party in the Ministry of Officials have fallen, and the power of the imperial court has been ceded.

Regarding Zhang Shenyan's resignation, in fact, the Donglin Party members are still psychologically prepared. After all, Lao Zhangtou is in his early seventies, and he is in his prime, even if he is in the Li Department, he can't work for a few years. Moreover, he was personally threatened by Liu Kongzhao, and his mental state deteriorated every day. Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and others are also considering the issue of succession.

But Lu Daqi went to join in the excitement, but everyone was caught off guard. Lu Daqi was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was also talented. He impulsively threatened the emperor with resignation, but was pushed by Emperor Hongguang and drove out of Nanjing, causing Donglinmeng to suffer heavy losses, not to mention losing his spokesman in the ministry.

The offensive and defensive momentum of the two factions reversed.

Ma Shiying felt that the time was ripe to promote Ruan Dacheng to the emperor.
