Chapter 112: Nanjing (8)
"Your name is Huang Zongxi?"
"Yes, the minister's name is Huang Zongxi, and my grandfather is Zhong, and my father is respectful."
"Lone knows your father, and he is very loyal! Your great-grandfather, grandfather, was also famous in the township. Your Huang family is good for life and hope in the local area. β
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
involves father, great-grandfather, grandfather, and is a gentle compliment, and he is very good at speaking, which shows that the crown prince also knew something about Huang Zong in the past.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Zongxi's face became more and more red, thinking about Chongzhen's father and son, they seemed to be not thin on themselves...... "When you were thirteen years old, you once went to the Beijing Normal School to take the test, but you never got it, and I heard about it at the time, and I feel sorry for you." β
There was nothing to answer to this, Huang Zongxi could only snort.
After saying a few words, the people around him nodded frequently, it seems that the crown prince is not as legendary, arrogant and ferocious, and he is the image of a tyrant who kills people without blinking.
Shicai was still tense, but the crown prince was not angry at all, and between the words, he was still very good at the Shilin inheritance, which made many people present have a good impression.
But that's not all.
Zhu Cihong turned to Gu Gao and said with a smile: "Father Gu Xiancheng, is a good scholar and a good gentleman. β
Looking at Fang Yizhi again, this time he restrained his smile and asked, "Where is your father?" β
Fang Yizhi was a very reluctant member of the crowd, but because of Chen Zhenhui's face, he had to reluctantly make it. He was a jinshi in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and he was appointed to review, and he also served as a lecturer to the prince and the king of Yong, and Chongzhen also appreciated him very much. But because he saw that the times were wrong, and Wu Weiye invited him to go along, he escaped from Nanjing, sang and sang with the people in the Fushe Society, and in the past few months, he has become a big name.
Of course, he himself is indeed very knowledgeable and talented, in history was squeezed out by Ma Shiying and fled to Guangzhou, and later cut his hair to become a monk, secretly opposed the Qing Dynasty, and finally died, leaving more than 4 million words after his death, involving many categories, and it is also one of the true talents and real learning in the Restoration Society.
Moreover, there were not many people in the Donglin Restoration Society who resisted the Qing Dynasty to death, and Fang Yizhi was one, so Zhu Cihong paid great attention to him.
Of course, it's not just that, his father Fang Kongzhao is the one that Zhu Cihong pays more attention to.
"Father, father, father......" Fang Yizhi was almost sweating profusely, his family had been developed for several generations, and his father was the governor of Huguang, and whether it was handling local government affairs or military affairs, he was very talented. Especially in military affairs, when Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo and many other thieves rushed to Huguang, even Zuo Liangyu was defeated repeatedly, but Fang Kongzhao and his governor Fubiao repeatedly defeated the thieves and beheaded many people, and the situation in Huguang has maintained a fairly good situation until the arrival of Yang Sichang.
Yang Sichang was a very talented person, and his appointment as a superintendent and assistant minister was also unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty. But after all, he is young and developed, and he has too much arrogance, and Fang Kongzhao is a senior of Donglin, so he doesn't appreciate Yang Sichang so much in terms of family background or morality.
One is arrogant and anxious to open up the situation, but the other is proud of his military exploits and the identity of his predecessors, and he doesn't look at the other party very much.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the contradiction intensified, and later Yang Sichang was secretly impeached, and Chongzhen's lack of talent was reflected here. Listen to and believe in everything, the person he believes in can do anything, but once the person who trusts loses trust, the end will be extremely miserable. In the matter of Fang Kongzhao, Chongzhen made a big mistake, he didn't know much about the front-line military affairs at all, he read a lot of war reports every day, some were true and some were false, some were big defeats and small defeats, or big defeats and small victories were exaggerated, and he read so much every day, but because he didn't understand geography and the actual situation of the provinces, he didn't understand the actual situation of the army, so in addition to not knowing much about the people's suffering, he was not completely clear about the ability of the officials under his rule. In the past seventeen years, he just trusted a few eunuchs around him and confidant ministers like Yang Sichang, and he couldn't tell the truth from the false from the other party's previous good news from Kong Zhao.
Fang Kongzhao was arrested because of this, and he was imprisoned for several years before being released last year, and when Li Zicheng marched to Yanjing, this person was reinstated, and he was in charge of military affairs in Tuntian Zhili and Shandong.
However, the situation quickly deteriorated, Fang Kongzhao did not seem to take office, and his appearance was unknown at this time, of course, it became a matter of great concern to Zhu Cihong.
This person is a rare and useful talent among the local governors, although he is not as good as Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting and others, but he is also first-class and available.
And...... In this situation, it seems that it is very interesting to ask...... "What?" Zhu Cihong forced him to ask, "Where is your father?" β
"The courtier's father escorted the grandmother and has returned to his hometown in Tongcheng."
"The last time, someone promoted him to Tuntian Shandong and was also in charge of military affairs, so he didn't take office?"
"Yes, the capital offense."
When it came to his father, Fang Yizhi could only kowtow again and again, banging loudly.
After all, at the moment of the great disaster, the monarch's father is in trouble, but his father has never been to the monarch's trouble, this is okay, abandon the official and ignore it, and he didn't even ask for leave, this is a bit too much.
Seeing that Fang Yizhi was so embarrassed, Mao Xiang, who was still behind Shi Kefa, also turned pale, his father was sent to Xiangyang as an official, as everyone knows, the thieves in Xiangyang are powerful, and they are in danger of being captured at any time.
Not only that, Zuo Liangyu's officers and soldiers are not divided into soldiers and thieves, and when they are killed and plundered, the magistrates are also poisoned.
Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will not be able to escape prison.
Because of this incident, Mao Xiang kept running, and finally allowed his father to resign and return to Li, which alarmed many people at that time, and it was also a major event that remained famous in the capital.
Of course, many people praise him as a filial son, but if the law of the country is mentioned, his father and son are also not guilty of a small crime.
As for Hou Fangyu and the others, they also have a ghost fetus in their hearts, his father was locked up in the prison when Jingshi fell, and it is very difficult to say whether he is a martyr or a thief now.
Anyway, there is a secret letter in Houfu, and after the fall of the city, Hou's father has escaped from prison, and it seems that he still broke into the prison door opened by the army. If such secrets are known...... There are really a lot of people who are pregnant with such ghosts. After all, most of the hundreds of people in front of him are from official families, and there are indeed not a few fathers and brothers who are officials in the court.
Now that Zhu Cihong is scanning the past one by one, many people in the crowd who were originally still high-spirited have lowered their heads, avoiding his gaze, and dare not be so arrogant anymore.
However, Huang Zongxi's eyes were still calm and calm, and only he and a few people were still calm, kneeling on the ground, but they were holding their heads high, waiting for Zhu Cihong's next move.
Huang Zongxi said that Gu was a stolen name...... "After successfully suppressing the arrogance of these scholars, Zhu Cihong knew that it was useless to only go so far."
At present, in the eyes of the people, he has only one image, that is, the prince who is blocked from going and has no way!
Coupled with the dialogue with these talented people of the restoration society, this impression was deepened.
Although the parties know that the conversation just now was not easy, and it was not entirely a show of goodwill, in the eyes of many people, it was the prince who was buying peace from these scholars who were blocking his way!
He looked up.
There were low-rise bungalows everywhere in front of me, and near the city gate, many poor people lived, so there were no decent houses.
Until a hundred paces away, there are scattered buildings, hanging a long guise, are all kinds of businesses, inns, restaurants, far away, you can also see these buildings are dense crowds of people, everyone is looking this side, within a radius of a few miles, except for the head, there is nothing else to see.
"I've been forced to such a point again......" Although it was indeed just a group of scholars in front of him, Zhu Cihong knew in his heart that the public opinion energy they had was really not something he could compete with now.
Just like the unlucky Ghost Fu King, although the four towns supported him to become the emperor, the Donglin Party and the Fushe did not agree with him, and the result was that his reputation could be stinked.
"What, sir?" Wang Yuan got close and asked with a pair of bull's eyes.
"You don't understand?" Zhu Cihong smiled and shouted, "Lone ordered you to bring your bow and arrows!" β
"Yes, the minister knows!"
Wang Yuan made a violent promise, stretched out his hand and handed the longbow behind him, his figure was very low, this big bow seemed to be older than his people, the bowstring was very tight, and then looked at the fetal quality and horn tendons, many knowledgeable people had already whispered: "This bow has at least twenty-four forces." β
"I'm afraid, I think there are thirty forces."
"With such gravity, the master is not afraid of bow bullying?"
"Since you have taken it, of course you are sure. However, does the master want to shoot the nerd scholar surnamed Huang to death? β
", if you want to shoot someone, what did you do just now? I think I want to shoot an arrow to show these stupid birds. To be honest, the young master's riding skills have just shown his hand, and if he opens such a strong bow, no one can say that he can't ride and ejaculate. β
"That's very reasonable!"
"However, I can't say anything just by riding and shooting...... Besides, this south to the north, many people say that it is a great contribution made by the master, and I heard that when he was in Tianjin, the emperor said it in front of thousands of people, saying that the master saved him from the palace and escaped...... According to me, this group of scholars is deliberately looking for trouble, even if the young master shows such a hand, they still have something to say. β
Everyone is talking about kung fu, Zhu Cihong has already taken a bow and arrow in his hand.
After a while, he suddenly laughed at himself, and said to the people around him: "After fighting Liu Zeqing last time, I once secretly resolved that from now on, I will only be a commander of a large army and no longer do martial arts." Unexpectedly, current events are like this, and now I say this, no matter how I block it back, it is that this martial art is a high level of pretense, and if I don't show my hand, how can I pass the test? β
Everyone burst into laughter, and before anyone could reply, Zhu Cihong had already pulled his bow like a full moon!
Only Wang Yuan and the military attachΓ©s of the East Palace knew that Wang Yuan was born with divine power, and his bow foot had thirty-five strengths, so it was very heavy and laborious, and seeing Zhu Cihong pull it away, Wei Yue was taken aback, and couldn't help but say to Li Gong: "The strength of the young master seems to have grown again." β
Li Gong nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's still useless for us......"
There were unfinished words in these words, but Wei Yue understood as soon as he heard it, nodded very calmly, and said, "I hope this is the last time." β
Before the words fell, he saw that Zhu Cihong had already spread the bowstring in his hand, and with a buzz, the arrow flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then it swept over the heads of the Fushe sentient beings, and swept towards everyone's back.
The arrow wind swept by, and everyone subconsciously turned back, but only saw an iron feather flying a hundred steps away, but it was hanging on the hook of a signboard on a two-story building.
