Nanjing City, Ministry of Officials.

Liu Yan chose to convene six officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and he was already a number of nobles in Nanjing.

In the hall of the Ministry of Officials, dozens of people were seated, Liu Yan sat at the top, and Bao Qiang, Han Qin, and Qin Chenghu each led 20 soldiers of the National Defense Army to guard the surroundings, so that everyone was also terrified when they sat in the hall.

Liu Yan saw that everyone had already arrived, so he said: "Since you all took time out of your busy schedule, then Bengong will ask one by one, to what extent the various ministries have implemented the new policy and military reform!" ”

Liu Yan took the lead in looking at Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked, "Master Shi, how has the military reform policy of Nanzhili and all parts of Jiangnan been implemented?" ”

Shi Kefa was slightly shocked, then got up and clenched his fists and said: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, the lower officials think that the military reform policy is too harsh, if the military reform policy is strictly implemented, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be dismissed in Nanzhili and Jiangnan provinces, and when the time comes, there will be turmoil in various places, and it will be out of control......

Liu Yan looked at this national hero who went down in history, and his heart was also entangled. It is true that Shi Kefa is impeccable in terms of integrity and remarkable, and he is also commendable in terms of national righteousness, but his specific governance ability is somewhat poor.

So Liu Yan said: "Master Shi, if this duke recruits soldiers from the southern Zhili and Jiangnan provinces, and goes north to Shanhaiguan to recover Liaodong, is it feasible?" ”

Scofar's words were immediately speechless.

"If Bengong had mobilized soldiers from Nanzhili and Jiangnan provinces to guard Beizhili and resist Li Zicheng's million-strong army, would it be feasible?"

Shi Kefa was speechless.

Liu Yan said: "This is naturally not good, my father knows it, and Master Shi also knows it."

Road. Let's ask, what is the use of such soldiers and horses who can't fight! ”

Shi Kefa hurriedly said: "But if the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern provinces become stiff because of the military reform policy, what should it be? ”

Liu Yan countered-for-tat and said loudly: "If the imperial court stops implementing the military reform policy just because it is afraid that someone will make trouble, then where is the authority of the imperial court and Your Majesty!" ”

"The reason why this duke sent the Wehrmacht Escort Patrol Team to the south is for those clowns who jumped off the beam, does Lord Shi think that tens of thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers can't stabilize the place?"

Shi Kefa was shocked when he heard this, and everyone also looked sideways, they couldn't imagine that Liu Yan had made such a big determination.

Immediately, Liu Yan said: "The Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Shi Kefa did not implement the military reform policy effectively, and he was dismissed from the post of Shangshu of the Military Department, and transferred to Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province as the prefect, to see the after-effects!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Shi Kefa blushed, and wanted to say something, but saw Bao Qiang walking up to him, and said respectfully: "Please Lord Shi go back and prepare your bags, and send your own carriage and horse to Jinan Mansion." ”

"Leaving now?"

"Let's go now!"

Shi Kefa angrily brushed his sleeves away, and everyone couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to protest.

Liu Yan said directly and loudly: "This public discussion, who dares to make a noise!" ”

The protests of the crowd stopped for a while, and then Liu Yan said to Bao Qiang, the deputy commander-in-chief: "If anyone disturbs the order of the court meeting, he will be taken down and imprisoned immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

When everyone saw this, they all sat back with pale faces.

Then there is the right attendant of the military department, Lu Daqi, this person still has some military ability, Lu Daqi once after the Qing army went south, led the soldiers and horses to recover Yuanzhou, Pingxiang,

Wanzai, Ji'an, Luling, Jishui, Yongxin, Taihe, Anfu and other places.

In history, Lu Daqi was a jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, a pedestrian, the director of the promotion department, and the four divisions of the calendar. In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to the imperial history of the right and governor of Gansu. Chongzhen was the right attendant of the military department for fifteen years, and when he saw the world, he resigned and went into hiding. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he served as the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Henan, and soon became the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Yingtian, and Anqing, stationed in Jiujiang, and joined forces with Zuo Liangyu to resist Zhang Xianzhong. Rotate and change the right squire of the Nanjing Military Department.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Jingshi was trapped, and King Fu stood in Nanjing, and moved Lu Daqi as the left servant of the ministry. Because of the impeachment of traitorous ministers Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, he was stripped of his post and reduced his status. In the first year of Longwu, King Tang of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne in Fuzhou and summoned Lu Daqi as the secretary of the military department and the scholar of Dongge University. In the second year of Longwu, he went to Guangdong, supported the Yongming King to supervise the country, and ordered the original official to be in charge of the army. For a long time, he entered the young master, supervised the southwest armies, and other generals were all bound by him.

At this time, Shi Kefa had already left, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Daqi, only to see Liu Yan say: "Lu Daqi, the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, was dismissed from his post as the right attendant of the Military Department due to the ineffective implementation of the military reform policy, and immediately went to Qingzhou Mansion Huangming Military Academy to study. ”

Lu Daqi was first shocked when he heard this, and then there was a burst of joy in his heart, which showed that Liu Yan was still ready to use his own, and now that he had lost his official position as the right attendant of the military department, he might not have a good way out in the future.

So Lu Daqi didn't care what other people looked at at this time, he bowed directly to Liu Yan, and then turned around and left.

Then, Liu Yan looked at Gao Hongtu, the head of the household.

Gao Hongtu is the thirty-eighth year of Wanli

Scholar, official imperial history. At the beginning of the apocalypse, he patrolled Shaanxi, and because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he returned. In the Chongzhen period, Gao Hongtu moved to the right of the Ministry of Labor, but he was ashamed to sit with the lieutenant Zhang Yixian, and returned with a reduced nationality. In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Gao Hongtu worshiped the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, and later moved to the Ministry of Books.

After the Fu King Zhu Yousong succeeded to the throne in history, Gao Hongtu was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the scholar of the East Pavilion University, and the court discussed more of his hands, but he was jealous of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, and then Xie Zheng, homeless, and Liuyu Huiji.

When the Qing soldiers went down to the south of the Yangtze River, Gao Hongtu fled to the wild temple and died on hunger strike, which can be regarded as a very tragic character.

"Gao Shangshu, according to the new policy strategy of the imperial court, the household department of Nanjing should be reorganized into the Ministry of Finance, why has it not been effective!"

Gao Hongtu raised his head and said: "The policy of the new policy is not so much the policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, but the policy of the current Legalist. ”

Liu Yan said: "My father doesn't need anyone's approval! Now this prince is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the new policy and military reform policy have also been approved by His Majesty, and the trial effect in Beizhili and Shandong is good, Gao Shangshu and you only need to find the right implementation, and the rest is not what you need to pay attention to! ”

When Gao Hongtu heard this, he seemed to be hit by Liu Yan, so he wanted to be impassioned, but was interrupted by Liu Yan's words: "Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, resisted the new policy, and immediately removed him from the post of secretary of the household department, and was demoted to the squire of the Ministry of Finance, in charge of the money village under the Ministry of Finance, responsible for the minting and issuance of silver coins in the imperial court, and will leave for Qingzhou Mansion early tomorrow morning!" ”

"What!"

Gao Hongtu couldn't believe his ears, he actually was

Then was thrown to Qingzhou Mansion to mint money?

And Liu Yan disposed of the two Shangshu in a row, and the rest of the people didn't dare to say anything more, at this time, there was silence in the lobby, and Gao Hongtu saw this, just like Shi Kefa, and turned around and left angrily.

After Gao Hongtu left, everyone looked at each other, Liu Yan looked at everyone, and the next one was Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying is a Wanli Jinshi and is the head of the household department in Nanjing. At the time of the apocalypse, Qianlangzhong knew the three prefectures of Yanzhou, Henan and Datong. After the tired official right to the imperial history, the governor of the Xuanfu. Because of taking public funds and bribing without authorization, he sat on the throne and lived in Nanjing. After the recovery, Ma Shiying served as the right attendant of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, and the governor of military affairs in Luzhou, Fengyang and other places. At the time of the national disaster of Jiashen, Ma Shiying supported the army and established the king of Fu in Nanjing, and entered the Dongge University and the secretary of the military department, but because of greed for power, Ma Shiying fought with Gao Hongtu and Shi Kefa. caused Shi Kefa to go out of the town, and supervised Huai and Yang.

Later, the Qing soldiers broke through Nanjing and Hangzhou, and Ma Shiying went to the Tang Dynasty to surrender to the king of Tang, but he did not accept it. He was in the Guoan Army, Guoan was defeated, and he wanted to vote for the Tang Dynasty, but he was also refused.

In the end, Ma Shiying was captured by the Qing army, unwilling to surrender to the Manchus, and was killed.

Although Liu Yan was very disgusted with Ma Shiying's power, he also had to admit that in the era of the general lack of civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty, Ma Shiying was still a middle-class and upper-class person who could be civil and martial.

At the same time, Ma Shiying's ability to refuse to surrender to the Qing army when he was defeated one after another, this integrity is also worthy of recognition.

So Liu Yan said: "The right imperial Shi Ma Shiying of the Inspectorate failed to implement the new policy, removed Ma Shiying from his official position, and was reappointed as the director of the Supervision Office of Dongchang Mansion in Shandong Province to see the after-effects!" ”

Although Ma Shiying resisted the new policy, it was a time

Since then, I have a very good understanding of the new policy, and when I heard that I was appointed as the director of the Supervision Department of a government, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it was better than losing my office.

For a person like Ma Shiying who is full of dedication to power, as long as he still has an official position, as long as there is a chance of recovery, he will never give up easily.

At this time, Ma Shiying made a straight face, saluted Liu Yan with a fist, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Liu Yan saw Qian Qianyi, the "water is too cold" Shangshu.

Qian Qianyi is the third Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, and he was awarded the compilation of the Hanlin Academy, and is now the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs in history, Qian Qianyi was also in charge of the secretary and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and served as the vice president of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" Museum. Shunzhi said that he was sick for three years, and in five years, he was implicated in the anti-Qing case of Jiangyin Huang Yuqi and imprisoned. After being released from prison, he stayed at home and secretly engaged in anti-Qing and Ming restoration activities, and had contacts with Huang Zongxi, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Qu Shiyun, etc. The poems were very prestigious at that time, and the southeast area was regarded as the leader of the "Wenzong" and the "Yushan Poetry School". Yan Ruoxuan said that he traveled with domestic readers, and there were only three people who were knowledgeable and capable, including Qian Qianyi, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi. Especially with the name of the poem, together with Wu Weiye and Gong Dingyu, he is called "Jiangzuo's three masters".

But for Liu Yan, Qian Qianyi's evaluation is very negative, no matter how good Qian Qianyi's poems are, his actions of lowering the Qing and Shi Qing are stains that cannot be washed off.

Even Qianlong, the Manchu slave chieftain, regarded Qian Qianyi as a transgressor and ordered the censorship of his writings. Qian Qianyi privately plotted against the Qing generals, secretly funded Zheng Chenggong to oppose the Qing Dynasty, etc., no matter what the purpose was, it was just to talk about masturbation.

Especially Qian Qianyi's

hypocrisy is even more unacceptable to Liu Yan.

In May of the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing soldiers came to the city of Nanjing, Liu Ru persuaded Qian Qianyi to throw himself into the water with him to martyrdom, Qian Qianyi was speechless in thought, and finally went down to the pool to try the water, saying: "The water is too cold to go down", Liu Ru is "trying to sink into the pool water", but Qian Qianyi held it hard.

Then on May 15, Qian Qianyi led the ministers to open the city in the torrential rain to welcome the Qing army commander Duoduo, in the heavy rain, Qian Qianyi's attitude was deferential, which made people look sideways.

Stun's "Miscellaneous Records of the Aftermath" recorded: "King Yu (Duoduo) went south to the south of the Yangtze River and ordered his head to be shaved. The people of Nanming have a lot of discussions about this. One day, Qian Qianyi suddenly said: "The scalp is itchy terribly", and suddenly went out. The family thought he was going to grate his hair with a grate. After a while, I cut my hair and came in with braids. ”

At that time, Yue Qijie (Ma Shiying's brother-in-law), the governor of Henan, who was good friends with Qian Qianyi, and Yuan Shu (Yuan Kelizi, the secretary of the military department) who was a good friend of Qian Qianyi, swore not to go on a hunger strike and died one after another.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan didn't bother to say anything more to this Shui Tailiang Shangshu, and said directly: "Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, resisted the new policy and removed him from his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

After saying it for a while, Qian Qianyi was still sitting in place and waiting in a daze, who would have thought that Liu Yan didn't have anything to say behind him, but he really dismissed himself.

Qian Qianyi's heart was excited, and he stood up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Bao Qiang: "Lord Qian no longer has an official position, this is the place of court discussion, please leave first!" ”
