Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is a tiger in the dragon pan!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established a foundation in Nanjing, Zhu Di moved the battle of Jingjing, and the capital moved north, Nanjing has been used as a companion capital, with a set of bureaucratic institutions opposite to Beijing, six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., all available, and the grade is the same as Beijing, but there is no real power.

When the Dashun army captured the capital, Nanjing became the center of the Ming Dynasty as a matter of course, but in the face of an unprecedentedly complicated situation, Nanjing was also confused and confused.

Among the hundreds of civil and military officials in Nanjing, there were three of the most powerful positions, the military department secretary who was the counselor, the eunuch who represented the emperor, and the military minister.

These three also represent the three major forces of the Ming Empire, but now that the emperor is finished, the eunuchs who stayed behind naturally stand aside, the same reason, the lords are also dependent on the emperor, and there is no weight in speaking, and the one who can really lead the affairs of Nanjing is the military department Shangshu, the famous Shi Kefa!

From standing aside to entering the center of history, in fact, you can also rely on pie in the sky.

However, in front of Shi Kefa is a big mess, as the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now that Beijing has fallen, the most important thing is to elect a suitable monarch and inherit the throne.

Choosing who to inherit the throne is really painstaking, in fact, this question is not complicated, choose the emperor according to the bloodline, Fuwang Zhu Youxiang is the grandson of Wanli, Chongzhen's cousin, the closest bloodline, and should ascend the throne.

But there is a feud in this, Wanli favored the old Fu King, but the princes of the Donglin Party supported the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo, and around the throne, launched the famous three major cases of the attack, the red pill, and the palace transfer, and finally the Donglin Party had the upper hand, and the Fu King had to leave Beijing gloomily.

But feng shui takes turns, and now Zhu Youxiang, the king of Xiaofu, has become a popular candidate for the throne, and the princes of the Donglin Party are very unhappy one by one, for fear that this Xiaofu king will avenge his father and counterattack.

Therefore, they resolutely played the banner of Lixian and wanted to support King Lilu. In fact, it's just rhetoric, they are all the descendants of the old Zhu family, and the vassal kings are all virtuous except for a few superlative, and King Lu has done more than that.

Shi Kefa, as a disciple of Zuo Guangdou, a cadre of the Donglin Party, and a long-tested party member, it stands to reason that he should not hesitate to support the ideas of the Donglin Party, but Shi Kefa is not stupid, knowing that he supports King Lu, and if he does not agree with reason, he will definitely be annoyed, and there will be a civil war if he doesn't do well, so he is indecisive and suffers.

On this day, when Shi Kefa was meditating, suddenly his subordinates came to report that the scholar Wei Zhicheng had come to pay a visit. When Shi Kefa heard this, he hurriedly got up to greet him, this Wei Jiongcheng was one of the officials who ran out of Beijing, and it was he who personally confirmed the news that Beijing had been breached and Chongzhen was hanged on the coal mountain.

Shi Kefa politely invited Wei Zhicheng into the study, and after the two of them sat down to offer tea, Shi Kefa showed that Wei Zhicheng was restless, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Master Wei, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen to you."

Wei Jicheng looked left and right, deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I got a little rumor, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the world, and he was rescued from the capital. ”

"What?" Shi Kefa suddenly stood up and hurriedly asked: "Master Wei, it's about Jiangshan Sheji, you have to be sure!" ”

Wei Jicheng sighed: "I don't know how important the truth is, in fact, when the thieves entered the capital, some people said that the first emperor entrusted the crown prince to Zhu Chunchen, and left a posthumous jade seal." Later, someone spread a proclamation in the capital, causing chaos in the capital, and I also took advantage of the chaos to escape. Thinking about it in hindsight, maybe it was an arrangement made by someone in order to cover the prince's departure from Beijing. ”

When Shi Kefa heard this, he immediately frowned, and couldn't help but complain: "Since there is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier, Master Wei?" ”

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's really chasing the wind and shadows, and I don't dare to speak casually."

"How dare you say it now?"

Wei Jicheng smiled bitterly: "Two days ago, a family member could not escape from the capital, and brought news, saying that he had heard that after the prince left the city, he went to Wu Sangui's army, and it is said that there is a lord surnamed Gu who protects the prince. ”

The surname Gu?

Shi Kefa's brain turned around a few times, and he didn't come up with such a character, but since the crown prince is still there, especially with the edict of the first emperor, he is a veritable candidate for the emperor, and other vassal kings don't need to think about it at all.

"Master Wei, according to what you said, the prince should be in Wu Sangui's army, and we should immediately send someone to greet the prince!"

Wei Jiongcheng's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but say: "Things are not so simple, according to my family, it seems that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchus, and he also brought a proclamation, counting the various acts of Jin merchants colluding with the Manchus and betraying the Ming Dynasty." ”

Saying that, Wei Jicheng took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and sent them to Shi Kefa's hands.

Shi Kefa glanced at it a few times, and immediately his brows stood up, and his fist slammed on the table: "That's true, Jin merchants can be killed!" ”

"Master Shi, take a look at the payment below."

Shi Kefa came to his senses at this time, and saw the last line of small characters, which read: Daming Zhongyong Bo'an ** commanded Gu.

"This, where did Daming come from, and what is this An**?"

"Master Shi, this loyal and brave uncle may be the one who saved the prince from Beijing, but it stands to reason that they should be with Wu Sangui, and they are also allies with the Manchus, and they must deal with the thieves together. How could he be against Jin Shang, it's really incomprehensible! ”

Shi Kefa frowned, spun around on the ground, and finally stomped his feet, and said fiercely: "Master Wei, this matter is very important, you must not mention it to anyone, I will find a way to verify it immediately." ”

Wei Zhicheng also knew what was at stake, how dare he say more, hurriedly said goodbye and left, after Shi Kefa thought about it, he immediately sent someone to invite Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, who held the military power, and the two of them had a secret meeting in Pukou.

Ma Shiying also came immediately, he and Shi Kefa are also old acquaintances, and the two met and exchanged a few words, and then went straight to the point.

Ma Shiying smiled first: "Brother Xian, you wrote a secret book before, mentioning yì to support King Gui, I think it is absolutely impossible." King Gui is far away in Guangxi, the road is far away, and now the situation is turbulent and changing rapidly, I can't afford to wait! Moreover, King Gui is the uncle of the first emperor according to his generation, if he ascends the throne, where the first emperor is, and where the blessed king is, it is against the norm and it is not feasible. ”

Shi Kefa was also bitter in his heart, the Donglin Party proposed to support King Lilu, but others agreed with King Fu, Shi Kefa was in a dilemma, so he had to put forward an idea to support King Gui, but after Ma Shiying's refutation, there was nothing to refute.

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly and shook his head, fortunately, there were other plans, so there was no need to go around among these feudal kings.

"Brother Yaocao, take a look at this."

Saying that, Shi Kefa sent the proclamation that Wei Zhicheng gave him to Ma Shiying, and told Ma Shiying what Wei Zhicheng said to him, and Ma Shiying hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

When it comes to ingenuity, Ma Shiying threw off Shi Kefa for 108,000 miles, and as soon as he saw the payment, he was overjoyed.

"Brother Xian, if my guess is right, this loyal and brave uncle should be the new seal of the prince, and since it is known as An**, it means that they have a lot of men and horses, if there is still a loyal and brave army in the north to protect the prince, it is really the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the common people!"

Shi Kefa also smiled: "If it is really as Brother Yaocao said, it is true, but how to contact Shang'an** and how to get the news of the prince is really a little difficult." ”

While the two were talking, suddenly Ma Shiying's master ran over in a hurry, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

But he didn't care about it, and hurriedly sent a letter to Ma Shiying.

"My lord, I am very happy, the prince has news!"

Ma Shiying hurriedly snatched the letter, which was written by Gu Zhenhua to Ma Shiying.

An ** goes south, he will inevitably be involved in the disputes of Nanming, and he is extremely disgusted with Gu Zhenhua of the Donglin Party, a group of guys who can only scold people and can't do things, with them, good things can also become bad.

Relatively speaking, although Ma Shiying has left a bad reputation as a traitor in history, looking at what Ma Shiying has done, he is not close to the traitor at all. On the issue of supporting King Fu, Ma Shiying did not make any mistake at all, but the selfishness of the Donglin Party. Later, Nanjing was broken, and Ma Shiying was brave and righteous, much stronger than the princes of Donglin.

Because of this, Gu Zhenhua chose to cooperate with Ma Shiying to share the merits of support.

In the letter, he briefly introduced what happened, and then wrote that An ** was heading south, and the prince and the edict were in the army, so Ma Shiying asked Ma Shiying to arrange for someone to respond!

Along with the letter, Gu Zhenhua also attached a jade pendant of the prince as evidence.

After Ma Shiying saw it, he immediately knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

"God bless Daming, God bless Daming!"

Ma Shiying kowtowed three times in a row, then stood up suddenly, and arched his hand at Shi Kefa: "Brother Xian, the prince is safe, we don't have to worry about the things that support us, I want to greet the prince immediately!" ”

"Brother Yaocao, isn't it a little hasty, the identity of the prince does not need to be verified, and since you are going to welcome the prince, you should put out a full set of honor guards and send important ministers."

"No need." Ma Shiying shook his head: "The letter is clearly written, the Manchu army is still chasing after it, the An ** people are sleepy and lack horses, and they are in urgent need of assistance, I will immediately take the army over, even if there is a fake, there is no problem with the protection of 50,000 troops." ”

Saying that, Ma Shiying arched his hand at Shi Kefa: "Farewell." ”

Under the canal, the fleet went south, Gu Zhenhua sat firmly on the bow of the boat, Mei Junruo, a little girl, accompanied by her, although she was a famous lady and had a lot of courtesies, but Mei Junruo was born with a rebellious energy, and with Gu Zhenhua's instigation, the two of them were no one next to them.

Gu Zhenhua's big hand lightly pressed on the jade hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Mei, do you have any relatives in your hometown, if you have, you should meet each other!" ”

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"What do I have in mind, sooner or later we are a family, close and close!"

Mei Junruo's face turned red suddenly, and she swung her pink fist and smashed it on Gu Zhenhua's shoulder without hesitation. In the sunset, the boats sailed by, the reeds were swinging, the gulls and herons were flying together, and there was a chaotic ......
