Chapter 628: The King Waits
In Beijing, a distinguished guest came to the mansion of Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Tong'an, but it was Feng Quan, a scholar of Zhonghe Temple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Speaking of this Lord Feng Quan, he is a strange man, this person won the Jinshi in the forty-first year of Wanli, and he was only 19 years old that year, and he was really proud of his youth. Not only is he well learned, but he looks like water, with red lips and white teeth, like a virgin, not to mention how handsome he is. After winning the Jinshi, Feng Quanguan went to the Hanlin Academy for review, and later returned to his hometown with his father because his father Feng Shengming was impeached and removed from office when he was the political envoy in Henan.
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, when Wei Zhongxian, the crotch of the dynasty, went to Zhuozhou to make incense, Feng Quan knelt beside the road and cried about his father being impeached and disgraced by the Donglin Party. Wei Zhongxian was furious when he heard this, upheld justice for the Feng family, and ordered Feng Quan to remain the original official. Since then, Feng Quan was grateful to Wei Zhongxian, and when the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party was the most intense, he made a lot of efforts for Wei Zhongxian, and was promoted to the auxiliary minister of the imperial court in just one year.
After the death of Emperor Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian lost his backer, and the enthroned Emperor Chongzhen made a list of eunuchs, and Feng Quan's crimes were ranked second until the death of the Ming Dynasty and were not used by the Ming Dynasty. In the first year of Shunzhi, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, summoned Feng Quan to the court by letter, gave him court clothes, hats, saddle horses, and silver coins, and ordered Feng Quan to enter the inner three courts with the official title of Ming Dynasty.
Feng Quan Shunzhi has returned to his hometown in the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, but last year, Emperor Shunzhi and Prince An Yue Le and Prince Jian Jidu competed for the cabinet, and after the success of this year, Feng Quan was recalled by Shunzhi to the original title and a scholar of Zhonghe Palace. However, even though Feng Quan is now a scholar, his reputation in Beijing officialdom is insignificant. This notorious reputation is not something that Scholar Feng was a eunuch in the past, nor is it a matter of his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, if you really have to calculate it carefully, which of the Han officials in this Beijing division has a clean ass, and which one did not come down from the Ming Dynasty? The reason why Feng Daxue is ashamed is that he was chicken. Adultery.
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was very masculine, and the yamen of other ministries were fine, but this style was the worst in the Hanlin Academy. Because these Hanlin are all idle officials, they have nothing to do on weekdays, either prostitutes or prostitutes, and eight out of ten are all good goods. Feng Quan was handsome, and he was not yet 20 years old when he entered the Hanlin Academy, so he naturally became the target of the old pervert in the Hanlin Academy.
At the beginning, although Feng Quan's group of Hanlin colleagues teased him, but it was only verbal teasing, but no one really dared to ride on him, pitiful, Feng Quan's life was really bitter, but he was on the stage of Zuo Yu De Miao Chang, this person was a Mongolian, extremely stout, not like a scholar at all, but he was a protΓ©gΓ© of the head of the court, Ye Xianggao, and the position of "Zuo Yude" was in charge of the prince's study. However, at that time, Tianqi had just ascended the throne, and he was young, and there was no prince for Teacher Zuo to educate, so he had nothing to do, and the thief's eyes were fixed on Feng Quan. One day, Xu was hungry and thirsty, and he couldn't stand it, so Miao Changqi took advantage of no one in the house to rape Feng Quan in broad daylight!
If it was just raped by Miao Changqi, then it would be okay, after all, no one knows, you know this, I know God knows, as long as it is not leaked, Feng Quan can always save face. How do you know that this Miao Chang period is really not a thing, after finishing the matter, he walked away in Feng Quan's crying, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen people from the Hanlin Academy to come to Hulala. Seeing so many colleagues coming, Feng Quan naively thought that his colleagues would be angry for him, but after these colleagues entered the room, they looked around Feng Quan, who was bare-assed, for a while, and then closed the door again, and in Feng Quan's bitter pleading, he was wheeled again. Rape!
After this incident, Feng Quan's heart changed greatly, and he hated the Donglin Party to the core, and then he found an opportunity to complain to Wei Zhongxian, and after being reused at the age of 9,000, Feng Quan ruthlessly cleaned up the group of Hanlin colleagues who bullied him. It's just that no matter how ruthless he cleaned up, he Feng Bachelor was wheeled by a group of men. The fact of rape can't be changed, so after so many years, officials always have to laugh at Feng Quan when they talk about it.
Zheng Zhilong knew that Scholar Feng had "ugly things" back then, but he didn't dare to show half of the ridicule, on the contrary, he had to be careful and respectful, lest he snub Scholar Feng a little. The second son, Zheng Du, was on the side, and he was extremely careful on his face, but he couldn't help but think of the humiliation history of Master Feng in his early years.
Feng Quan's visit to the Anhou Mansion was not because he wanted to see how the leader of Zheng Da, who had fallen into Pingyang, was doing now, but by order. There was another person who came with him, but it was Shi Lang, who defected from the Zheng family.
Shi Lang and Zheng Chenggong have the hatred of killing their father and brother, so they hate Zheng Chenggong to the bone, they thought that they would be reused after they voted for the Qing Dynasty with their naval combat skills, and he would be able to repay the revenge with his own hands. Shi Lang, who had nothing to do in Beijing, was extremely poor, and had to rely on his wife to work as a female tailor to supplement the family, otherwise the family would not even be able to eat. Yesterday, Shangguan suddenly informed Shi Lang that he would go to Tong'anhou Mansion with scholar Feng Quan today, Shi Lang was excited and thought that the imperial court was ready to reuse his own water trainer to suppress Zheng Chenggong, but he didn't want Master Feng to come to Tong'anhou Mansion for the purpose of still wanting to recruit Zheng Chenggong.
Shi Lang listened to it very badly, and felt that since the emperor wanted to recruit Zheng Chenggong, what should he do with Feng Quan to the Anhou Mansion. Because it is not a taste, coupled with the great enmity between the Zheng family and himself, since he entered the mansion, Shi Lang has not shown the slightest smile on his face, his face has always been tense, and his eyes looking at Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Du are also fierce. Zheng's father and son knew why Shi Lang looked at his father and son, and Feng Quan also knew, so the three of them tacitly didn't see it.
said a lot of polite words and nonsense, Feng Quan finally made his intentions clear, and he said: "The emperor said, as long as your family is willing to return to the imperial court, the emperor will not care about everything in the past, and the emperor will return to the king, and the province of Fujian will be returned to Damu to raise soldiers, and then Tonganhou can also return to Fujian to enjoy the joy of family." β
"Huh?!"
Zheng Du and Shi Lang screamed at the same time, the former was surprised, and the latter was stunned.
Zheng Du was very suspicious, in the past, the Qing court did not talk to the eldest brother, but he was only willing to give a title of Haicheng Duke, and then raise soldiers in the land of a mansion, but the elder brother was the king of Yanping County in the Ming Dynasty, so the price offered by the Qing court was really a bit cold, and he would not agree to it. How did Shunzhi suddenly open his mind, and the price was so big that he not only became the king but also raised troops for a province, which is really incredible.
Shi Lang was stunned in his heart, but if Zheng Chenggong accepted the conditions of the Qing court, wouldn't he be able to take revenge for the rest of his life? He is a person who is not treated well and is not reused, how can he find a vassal king to take revenge!
Feng Quan opened the bid code, very satisfied with Zheng Du and Shi Lang's reaction, when he heard this price code in front of the emperor, he was really shocked.
"The emperor treats Damu and your Zheng family, it can't be said to be insincere. Tong Anhou, your Zheng family can't be confused anymore this time. Feng Quan said meaningfully.
Zheng Zhilong said with an embarrassed face: "The scholar knows that my rebel ghost is obsessed, and he doesn't listen to my words at all!" β
Feng Quan said with a smile: "Then it depends on the affection of Tongan Hou, and the understanding is reasonable, after all, you have the love of father and son!" β
Zheng Zhilong sighed and shook his head: "I have written several letters, but he hasn't even heard back. β
"This time it's different, many people in the court heard that the emperor was going to give Damu the king, and they were clamoring to oppose it." Speaking of this, Feng Quan glanced at Shi Lang intentionally or unintentionally, "Prince An has an excerpt, and he wants the emperor to use Shi Lang to train in Jiangnan." If the sailor is trained, I am afraid that such good conditions are impossible. β
Water trainer?
Shi Lang's heart froze, and he was immediately a little excited, but soon his heart cooled down again. He knew that the imperial court said in front of Zheng Zhilong that he would let Shi Lang go to practice as a water master, which was mostly a lie, and the intention was probably just to beat the Zheng family. If you really want him to practice as a water master, why should he reveal it to the Zheng family, most of the emperor still has the idea of surrendering Zheng Chenggong, and this time the chips are also full, I am afraid that Zheng Chenggong is not moved.
Zheng Du thought about it about the same as Shi Lang, and he also thought that the Qing court meant to beat it.
"Please return to the emperor Lord Feng, the emperor treats me like a mountain of kindness to the Zheng family, and never gives up on my son, this time I will persuade my son to return no matter what." Zheng Zhilong's face was moved, and he bowed heavily in the direction of the palace.
Feng Quan smiled, stretched out his hand to help Zheng Zhilong up, the word arrived, and it was time for him to return to the palace to resume his life. How Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Damu choose is not his business.
"The old man takes his leave!"
"I'll send a bachelor!"
Zheng Zhilong was busy taking Zheng Du to send Feng Quan out of the house, talking and laughing along the way, and Du Shilang was sullen.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Zheng Zhilong found that at some point, a team of spear-wielding Qing soldiers had surrounded him and Anhou Mansion. Seeing that Zheng Zhilong was about to come out, one of the leading officers stepped forward and shouted, "Please stay with Anhou!" β
"This...."Zheng Zhilong frowned, for unknown reasons, and looked at Feng Quan in confusion.
Feng Quan smiled slightly and said, "The emperor is not worried about the safety of Tong Anhou, so he specially transferred someone to protect Tong Anhou." β
Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Du changed color at the same time, Zheng Zhilong asked Feng Quan a little angrily: "Lord Feng, is the emperor going to put me under house arrest?" β
Feng Quan snorted and said, "What house arrest is not house arrest, don't misunderstand with Anhou." Your Majesty is also kind, don't think about it. β
"What kindness, isn't this clearly going to put my father and son under house arrest!" Zheng Du was straightforward and shouted indignantly.
Shi Lang raised his eyebrows, a little gloating.
"I, Zheng Zhilong, have a heart for the court and am loyal, but the court doesn't treat me as my own family!"
Zheng Zhilong was also angry in his heart, it would not be easy for anyone to be placed under house arrest, not to mention that Feng Quan just said that the imperial court was going to give his son the title of king, and take a provincial territory to the Zheng family to raise soldiers, but before this thing was done, he sent troops to put him under house arrest, what does Shunzhi mean by this!
Feng Quan waved his hand to signal the officer to step aside, and said to Zheng Zhilong: "Don't think about the bad with Anhou, the emperor is doing this, in the final analysis, it is also for your good." Besides, this is also an expedient measure, as long as the big wood returns, this sergeant will naturally be removed. In short, don't think about it, let alone do anything to deceive the emperor, write the letter early and send it early, the emperor is looking forward to the good news of Damu. β
Feng Quan said so, what else could Zheng Zhilong say, he watched Feng Quan and Shi Lang leave with high spirits, and then returned home without saying a word.
Late at night, under the oil lamp, Zheng Du soaked a bowl of Tieguanyin in his hometown for his father.
"Father, why did you say that the imperial court softened so quickly this time?"
Regarding the day's events, Zheng Du is still puzzled when he thinks about it now, and he doesn't know why Shunzhi wants to give his brother the title of king, and he has to give up the land of Fujian Province to his Zheng family.
Zheng Zhilong took the soaked Tieguanyin, held it in his hand, felt the temperature of the tea bowl, and slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, he opened his eyes violently, lowered his voice and said to Zheng Du: "Move the secret stake to bring a message to your eldest brother, the Qing court will not be able to hold it." β
