Now that they were down to business, all the ministers straightened up. （）

Shi Kefa glanced at Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the ministry: "The ministry is the head of the six departments, what does Zhang Tianguan think about this matter." ”

Zhang Shenyan understood and knew that Shi Kefa was letting the new monarch set the tone for the new monarch this time, he coughed, slowly clarified the situation of the proposal, and finally said: "The new monarch should be based on the principle of morality, one is to establish a family, the second is to establish a long, and the third is to establish a virtuous." You don't have to worry about anything, just say it. ”

Speaking of this, he swallowed another mouthful of saliva: "Nowadays, thieves are wreaking havoc on most of China, and the local feudal kings Tai are half dead in the war. Nowadays, there are not many people who have taken refuge in the south, and the five feudal domains of Gui, Fu, Lu, Hui, and Rui can be negotiated in the order of Lun

。 What the old man means is that he chooses a virtuous king among the five feudal domains, and he doesn't know what to do with the public will? ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and without waiting for everyone to speak, Shi Kefa took the lead and said: "Old Zhang's words are very true, that's all." ”

At this time, Li Zhan stood up first and said excitedly: "Prince, the two kings of Yong and Ding are both caught in the thief, and the order is behind Shenzong, and King Gui, King Hui, and King Rui are far away. Fu Wang Yousong, the grandson of Shenzong, is now in Huai'an. The meaning of the lower officials is to be established. ”

That's right, the crown prince and two sons of Emperor Chongzhen of Daxing fell into the hands of the thieves. Whether it is in terms of generation or blood distance, Fuwang Zhu Yousong is the first candidate. The grandson of Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, the second son of Emperor Wanli, the cousin of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong and Zhu Youzhen of Daxing Emperor, and the eldest son of Zhu Changxun, the former Fu King.

Speaking of the old Fu King Zhu Changxun, who died in Luoyang and was boiled into broth by Li Zicheng to make a Fulu banquet, this person was deeply favored by Emperor Wanli back then, and Emperor Wanli also thought about making him the crown prince, and almost defeated Emperor Xizong to inherit the throne. It's a pity that because of the strong opposition of the civil officials, he gave up, was named King Fu, and went to Luoyang to become a vassal domain.

Therefore, no matter from the perspective of his blood relationship with Emperor Chongzhen or legitimacy, King Fu is the first candidate. Inheriting the position of the emperor is reasonable and legitimate.

Among the Donglin officials here, many of them have read and read well, and they also feel that Li Zhan's words are reasonable. From this point of view, in fact, there is really nothing to discuss about the issue of the throne, except for King Fu, others inherit the throne, and they always feel that they are a little bit less interesting in the legal system.

Everyone nodded one after another, and depending on the situation, there was no controversy about King Fu succeeding Dabao.

Even Mao Xiang, who was sitting in the corner and listening, nodded silently, but because he was an outsider, he was a little more sober. He saw the indifference on the faces of Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu, who were sitting at the top, and as for Jiang Yueguang, because of his impatient temperament, there was even a trace of anger on his face.

Seeing that Jiang Zhan was about to take the case, Mao Xiang felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly understood that it seemed that Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Jiang Yueguang, who were important figures in the six departments of Nanjing, rejected King Fu, and perhaps, there was another suitable candidate in their minds. My visit to Nanjing to participate in such a confidential event is due to the support of my secret brother. The situation in front of me is a rare opportunity, and it is a great opportunity for me to take the plunge. Anyway, it's right to oppose the Lifu Domain.

He had an impulse and was about to stand up.

At this time, suddenly, Fang Yizhi shouted: "King Fu is from Song, and Lun is in order, but I heard people say that Fu Fan is mediocre." Although King Lu Changshu is a nephew of Shenzong, he is known as a virtuous name

。 After Mu Zong, Zhao and Mu are not far away. ”

Wang Zhan shouted angrily: "Fang Yizhi, you said that the Fu Fan is mediocre, but there is a certificate, but it is just a matter of course. If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. ”

At this time, Fang Yizhi, who had always been humble, suddenly sneered: "If you ask for evidence in the matter, Fang may not be able to come up with it." However, Fu Fan was dangerously established as a prince by the Son of Heaven of Wanli that year, and if it were not for the upright gentleman in the court, there would be no later Emperor of the Apocalypse. If Emperor Guangzong hadn't had Gu Xiancheng fighting in the court, I am afraid that the throne would have fallen to the head of the Fu Domain. Mr. Gu Ge Lao Donglin has a long-term vision, he said that the Fu Domain cannot be established, is it possible that the king can be stronger than Gu Ge Lao? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts were pang and they suddenly understood.

Gu Xiancheng, known as Mr. Donglin, was a cabinet scholar in the late Wanli Dynasty. The people he promoted during his attic were all disgusted by the Emperor Shenzong, which angered Shenzong even more, and he was stripped of his official status and dismissed from his post and returned home.

After Gu Xiancheng returned to his hometown, he and his younger brother Gu Yuncheng proposed to maintain Donglin Academy, and gave lectures with Gao Panlong and others, and at the same time promoted his political views. In October of the 32nd year of Wanli, Gu Xiancheng, together with Gu Yuncheng, Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Qian Yiyi, Xue Fujiao, Ye Maocai and others, initiated the Donglin Conference and formulated the "Donglin Covenant".

This is the origin of the Donglin Party, it can be said that Gu Xiancheng is the predecessor and idol of everyone here.

The meaning of Fang Yizhi's words is actually very clear: if everyone wants to establish King Fu as the emperor, the old King Fu back then was driven out of the capital by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Donglin, and others. If it weren't for the fact that King Lao Fu was driven to Luoyang to become a vassal, he would not have died in the hands of the thieves, and he would have died so miserably. Once King Fu ascended the throne as the emperor, as soon as he saw the Donglin Party of the Manchu Dynasty, new hatreds and old hatreds inevitably came to his heart. And the old Zhu family has a tradition of political liquidation, if you are not afraid of death, let King Fu be the emperor!

Hearing this, everyone changed their faces when they thought of the cruelty of the political disputes in the Ming Dynasty over the years.

First Donglin and the eunuch party fought, and finally the eunuch party won, after Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, with his support, Donglin defeated the eunuch party again.

Both sides exhausted their means in the struggle and showed no mercy.

How many people have fallen after these successive political struggles.

Indeed, if King Fu is established, once his throne is stable, the power is in hand, and the old things of Wanli are liquidated, everyone here is the Donglin Party who drove King Fu out of Beijing that year. Will you be able to live a good life in the future?

This is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot, so King Fu must not stand

。

Mao Xiang also instantly understood the meaning of Fang Yizhi's words, and immediately admired it, and said in his heart: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I just saw that Shi Xianzhi and Gao Hongtu and other Donglin grandmothers seemed to reject the Fu Domain, so I thought about speaking out against it and being opportunistic." But if I were to tell why I was against the establishment of the Fu Domain, I would not be able to make any sense. If you had recklessly stood up just now, you would have really made a joke. Brother Mi is worthy of being compiled by Hanlin who served for many years before the Son of Heaven drove, and he is strategic, and his thoughts are so deep that I can't do it! ”

He sighed in his heart: "My generation reads, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, only reading in the study, not understanding current affairs, really encountering major events, limited by vision, but useless for the country." It seems that if I want to make a difference in the future, I really need to go into the job. ”

Thinking of this, seeing the full house of ministers, Mao Xiang's heart became eager.

Hearing Fang Yizhi's sneer, Wang Zhan's face turned red with anger, and he shouted: "State affairs are like this, Fang Bian, you still think about the selfish interests of one party, and you don't despise it!" Since all the princes mean this, the Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, and take their leave! ”

After that, he didn't care about how important today's matter was, flicked his sleeves, and strode towards the flower hall.

A few officials came forward to admonish them, but they could not persuade them to come back.

was given such a fuss by the king, and the scene was a little embarrassing. In particular, this Wang Zhan is still Donglin's own person, and he proposed to establish King Fu, isn't this anti-water?

Qian Qianyi, who had been not speaking beside him and was one of the leaders of Donglin, smiled faintly: "The king is anxious and open-minded, which is really admirable." However, Fang compiled this sentence to avoid being heart-wrenching, not a gentleman's words, and there is no need to mention it. However, today Shi Xianzhi called everyone over, but he was just discussing the candidate for the new monarch in private, and he was not guilty. Fu Fan is just a choice, except for Fu Fan, is there no other candidate for everyone? ”

He touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Previously, Zhang Shangshu proposed five alternatives, in the old man's opinion, in fact, those who can inherit the throne are the Fu Domain, the Lu Domain, and the other three princes, but they are not under consideration. ”

"How?" Hearing him mention King Lu, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan glanced at each other. Then, Shi Kefa asked busily.

In fact, before this meeting, the entire Donglin Party did not have a unified attitude, and even the three of them did not think about the joints. Just now I heard Fang Yizhi talk about the old things of Wanli Year, and the three of them moved in their hearts at the same time, since they crossed out King Fu from the list of candidates

。

Qian Qianyi replied: "Although the three feudal clans of Gui, Hui, and Rui are of Taizu blood, they are a little far away from Emperor Daxing after all. The tenth grandson of Emperor Changshu Taizu of King Lu, the third son of Zhu Yiyi, King of Lujian, and the nephew of Emperor Wanli. King Lu has a kind personality, high moral character, generosity and benevolence, and is known as the son of Lu Buddha. Whether it is a chief or a virtuous, bribing the feudal clan is the best choice. And also. He smiled: "Lu Fan is fond of reading, proficient in music and painting, if it is not for the royal family, the imperial examination, with his talent in reading, he may not lose to the monarchs here, maybe it is still my Donglin lineage!" ”

All the officials were made laugh by Qian Qianyi's not-so-funny joke, "That's true, Lu Fan Xiande." ”

A vassal king who reads the books of sages will inherit the throne in the future, and he will naturally be closer to the Donglin Party who is also a scholar. From this point of view, King Lu is indeed a suitable candidate.

However, Shi Kefa was still a little worried: "Elder Mu, is Lu Fan really as virtuous as you say?" Reading a book well and drawing a good hand does not mean anything. ”

Indeed, emperors in history who can make good poems and paint good paintings, such as Song Huizong and Li Houzhu, are not qualified emperors!

Qian Qianyi was about to say more, when suddenly, Fang Yizhi let out a loud laugh: "Lu Fan is virtuous and virtuous, and now, King Lu is in Hangzhou, and Gui, Hui, and Rui are in Guangxi. Send an envoy to Guangxi from here, and then take any of the three vassal kings to Liudu, how can it take three or four months to come and go? State affairs are already like this, and the imperial court is about to be rebuilt. In the north, the people of the Ming Dynasty are looking forward to the king and the clouds like the great drought, can they still wait, can you still wait? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only everyone, but even Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Zhang Shenyan, who had been silent, were shocked.

Yes, we talked for a long time, but we forgot this crucial point. Emperor Chongzhen has been martyred for so long, the throne is vacant, the country is in chaos, it can't go on like this, and the Ming Dynasty can't afford to delay.

It doesn't really matter what King Lu is. The important thing is that he is now in Hangzhou, and if this matter is decided, it will only take a month to send someone to pick it up.

This is the most important reason why he was able to inherit the throne, which was ignored by two or three people. Now that Jing Fang reminded him with wisdom, he suddenly woke up.

The three of them glanced at each other at the same time, and secretly praised in their hearts: The future is terrifying, Fang Mizhi is so talented and knowledgeable, and he will definitely be the bull ear of Donglin the next day!
