Chapter 89: Wind and Cloud (5)
"You young man is bold, who is your father?" Liu Zeqing looked suspicious, looked up and down for a while, and his eyes were also suspicious.
The young man in front of him is at most fifteen or sixteen years old, but he has an extraordinary bearing, and he really can't be despised because of his age. But in any case, what is the big deal for a teenager? Thinking about it, this is a son of a wealthy family, I don't know how to run to Huai'an Mansion, I can't see it for a while, and as soon as the young man's blood and courage are released, he will come out and meddle in his affairs regardless of it.
The top priority is to see which family's children, but Liu Zeqing thinks to himself, now looking at the world, the future Emperor Yanjing can be the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, this Daming, a big man he can't provoke, really can't think of it.
The one who came out to speak was naturally Zhu Cihong.
Last night, he took a few of his most confidant companions into the city, first looked for Lu Zhenfei, and after asking to see him, he did not reveal his identity, but stayed in the governor's yamen with Wang Zhiming's fake name and false identity, and then inquired about the news of King Fu and King Lu, and after confirming the information, he corresponded to his previous news, and naturally knew that Liu Zeqing summoned the generals in the city, and what was the reason for such a big move.
Looking at Liu Zeqing, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly and replied, "My father...... Speaking of which, the chief military officer is recognized, Chongzhen's early years, the chief military officer went to Beijing to report on his work, and he once met with his father, as long as I say it, the chief military officer can remember. β
"Oh, I see." Liu Zeqing's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face became even more arrogant, this young man, sure enough, is the son of a high-ranking official or a senior official in Beijing...... This young man probably saw Liu Zeqing's respectful appearance in front of his father back then, and thought that it was back then?
"So, the name of the father?" Liu Zeqing raised his hand, a personal soldier had already moved a chair over, after he sat down, he crossed his legs, and then smiled at Zhu Cihong again: "Okay, since you are the son of the old man, I will let me know which family it is, but at the moment of military law, you young man does not know how powerful, dare to come out and disrupt the military law of the commander, do you know how big it is...... Well? β
He has already made up his mind, as long as he is not the son of a big man who can't afford to offend, he can't say that today for the sake of marching law and big things, he can only kill this young man and Liu Konghe together.
I don't know how many people, under Liu Zeqing's fierce eyes and cold snort in a long tone, Zhu Cihong just smiled slightly, and he also raised his right hand, ready to give an order...... However, in the blink of an eye, he also turned his head slightly south...... At this time, I don't know what the situation is like in Nandu, and I don't know, has Chongzhen arrived?
And on the other side of Nanjing, is it preparing to welcome King Fu as it has evolved in history?
............ "Shi Gong, Shi Gong!" β
"Shi Gong, stay!"
Under the city wall of Nanjing, outside the tall and majestic Shuixi Gate, the deacon of the brigade is the leader, a pair of avoidance cards, tin guns, lances, water and fire sticks, lined up as the leader, the middle is the green sedan chair carried by eight people, and then back, it is a cavalry team of more than 100 people, copper helmets and iron armor, red tassels fluttering, each person is killing a cowhide belt, hanging a refined waist knife, showing a very capable and beautiful, everyone's face is vigilant, after the sound of the head came over, all the cavalry turned around, and saw that it was a few wearing Confucian beards, The scholars wearing square scarves chased after them, and a team of personal soldiers drove their horses to meet them, jumped off the horses, and blocked the way of these scholars with open arms.
In addition, the soldiers did not dare to do anything excessive. After all, this is the Southern Capital, the eldest of the heavens, and the scholar is the second, and no one can be fucking provoked.
"Shi Gong, the students came to see them off, I hope to take the time to see them!"
The people who came to see Shi Kefa were all scholars in their twenties and thirties, although they were ordinary scholars who had never been officials, but no one dared to underestimate them. These young scholars in Nanjing, either Donglin or Fushe, have great potential, even the emperor has no way, they can control the township, what lawsuits, taxes, engineering, education, basically these scholars and their clans are under the control, an ordinary Confucian can call the county order, this is not an uncommon thing in Jiangnan, if there is the identity of a person or a jinshi, interfere in the court situation, and influence the general trend, it is not impossible.
At the same time, because of their reputation and family background, they can also make friends with court officials like Shi Kefa, two or three of them are still Shi Kefa's staff, but this time because they are very dissatisfied with Shi Kefa's mission and whereabouts, so they have not followed together.
"Huh?" Hearing the shout, Shi Kefa stomped his feet in the sedan chair, and the sedan body shook, and it had stopped steadily.
"It turned out to be Brother Mao, as well as Er Gong and Man Gong...... Why, today we are here to embarrass the students again? β
Shi Kefa's face was very calm, and he greeted them one by one, but he didn't show much difference from usual. However, after all, the voice is also trembling, revealing that the master's current state of mind is not peaceful, on the contrary, he is also very excited.
A while ago, he and Ma Shiying had discussed properly in Pukou, and had already asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare to go to Guangxi to pick up King Gui to Nanjing...... turned out to be Ma Shiying's sale as soon as he turned around!
Now the four towns are together with Ma Shiying, plus Lu Jiude, the eunuch of Fengyang, and the power of Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of Nanjing, and Liu Kongzhao, the minister of Yejiang, who is against the water, openly supports Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet...... The general trend has gone, and the Donglin Party can only accept the facts, so far, this major event has made a disgraced face, King Lu has failed to supervise the country, and King Gui has also failed, but the most unwilling to support King Fu has become a sure thing, when I think of the letter I wrote to Ma Shiying, it is written in black and white that King Fu can not stand...... Of course, that was the unanimous statement of the Donglin Party, but it was written by himself, such a letter was in the hands of political enemies, and with Ma Shiying's surname, how could he not show it to King Fu?
In this way, the opportunity is lost, I have personally said before, the emperor, but the real power of the cabinet will obviously fail, because the center will not be completely controlled by himself and Donglin, at least, Ma Shiying will enter the cabinet, this person is very difficult, and there are many people in the government and the opposition who support him...... As a result, Shi Kefa is also depressed about the future and feels very gloomy.
"Shi Gong's trip, the students and others must not take it seriously!"
"The four towns are dominant, and Shi Gong is so obedient, isn't it a precedent for Kaifan Town to interfere in major politics?"
"There are still big things to do, Shi Gong can convene a meeting, and see how the public discussion goes, and then it's not too late to go to Huai'an!"
These people who rushed over were all cadres in the Donglin Restoration Society, and they were very famous young talents. For example, Fang Yizhi and Mao Xiang are both famous people in Wuzhong, and they are from a well-known official family, and they have a strong power in the Fushe, and they have a strong appeal among ordinary members.
The Restoration Society convened a meeting of its members on time in Suzhou Tiger Hill, and when the time comes, all the celebrities and talents in the south of the Yangtze River will gather in Suzhou, which is a major event in the south of the Yangtze River.
Listening to everyone's words, Shi Kefa's expression was still faint...... These young people have too much time to chase joy and laugh and write poems and arguments, and of course, they are also very concerned about state affairs, but there is still too little time to calm down and think carefully...... "You don't need to say any more, the matter has been decided, and it cannot be changed." β
Seeing that everyone didn't think so, Shi Kefa said to everyone in a very sincere tone: "At the moment of the great enemy, our generation should work together in harmony and put national affairs first. In any case, it is an immovable fact that King Fu is in charge of the country, and my generation should serve as the main, do everything in parallel, and take the revival of the Ming Dynasty as the top priority. β
Although everyone was not very convinced by his words, they also knew in their hearts that what Shi Kefa said was indeed the truth. Now not only the four towns and local governors, but also the eunuchs all support King Fu, and there are also many local gentry who are interested in King Fu, such as Zheng Yuanxun in Yangzhou and other famous gentry, who are mainly based on Lun Xu, and advocate that King Fu should be the most established. On the Donglin side, as soon as he heard that the general trend had been decided, he went to Nanjing a few days ago, and Qian Qianyi, who was building momentum for King Lilu, was the first to turn against the water, and now he has rushed to Longjiang Pass as a squire, and there are many ministers who go with him...... The general trend is like this, Shi Kefa couldn't make a decisive decision before, and now it is naturally impossible for him to come forward to oppose it.
The crowd sighed...... They all said goodbye to Shi Kefa, the weather in Nanjing today is particularly good, the spring breeze is warm, and the breeze is blowing, it feels particularly warm and comfortable, however, seeing Shi Kefa nodding to everyone, after getting on the sedan chair with a heavy expression, everyone's mood is also very heavy, and after the team gradually walked away, Mao Xiang and others turned around and walked slowly towards the city.
"How?"
Not far from the city, a group of friends are also waiting for news, among which Huang Zongxi, who is slightly short and thin, and his face is also very thin, is the most eye-catching, this friend from Zhejiang, studied under Liu Zongzhou, and his academic conduct is not said, but he is very stubborn, and he is not very good at making friends with people, but with his character and family background, and then there is a teacher, they are all well-known golden signs in the society, so many members of the society who are upright and upright are headed by Huang Zongxi, and they are secretly in the society is a faction of their own.
This group of people, unlike Mao Xiang and other people who wear silk shirts and have folding fans in their hands, are mostly blue-gray cloth robes, with a square scarf on their heads and a pair of cloth shoes on their feet, and they are all dressed very coldly. And Huang Zongxi is the most eye-catching one, seeing Mao Xiang take the lead, he stepped forward, his face was flushed, his fists were clenched, and he didn't salute, just asked Mao Xiang straight: "How?" Can Shi Gong change his opinion? β
