The most famous singer in the late Ming Dynasty was "Qin Huai Bayan", and the most famous of these eight people was naturally Chen Yuanyuan.

After all, Wu Sangui's "rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face" made her synonymous with the red face and the troubled water.

The second is Liu Ru, and her union with Qian Qianyi's old husband and young wife is also a sensation.

Qian Qianyi officially welcomed Liu Ru into the door with a sedan chair, which was completely inconsistent with the etiquette law at that time.

Ordinary concubines don't have any rituals at all, and most of them are sneaky.

However, Liu Ru is also regarded as Qian Qianyi, and when Qian Qianyi was in trouble, he ran in many ways to rescue him from the cage!

The most admirable thing is her integrity, after Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Ru swore that he was unwilling to follow him into Beijing, and constantly persuaded him to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi actually resigned after only staying in Beijing for three months after the Qing Dynasty, and since then he has been secretly funding the anti-Qing Dynasty, and has participated in the planning of the former Ming generals many times.

Including his student Zheng Chenggong's counterattack on Nanjing, Qian Qianyi also participated in the planning!

The ranking of Qin Huai Bayan is quite controversial, but from the point of view of national righteousness, Liu Ru is the first of Qin Huai Bayan, and it is well deserved.

Although Liu Ru should have only been 13 years old at this time, out of curiosity about her, Li Xianzhong still decided to take the risk of meeting her.

In order to entertain Li Xianzhong, Wang Shiming gave up a courtyard on the bank of Slender West Lake as Li Xianzhong's foothold in Yangzhou.

And this place is naturally heavily guarded, and Zhang Zhiji's men are responsible for the security work on the periphery of the courtyard.

Li Xianzhong's own guard battalion is responsible for the security of the courtyard, and there are also secret guards of the Jinyi Guard and the Intelligence Division, which can be said to be fortified everywhere.

After all, now that he has such a thing as a firecracker, although Li Xianzhong's skills are good, he can't stop it when he encounters a firecracker.

Now in Yangzhou, he naturally doesn't dare to be careless.

Although it has approached the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou in November is still a bitterly cold wind, and Li Xianzhong, who was originally slightly drunk, was suddenly sobered up a lot by this cool breeze.

Led by a group of guards, he made his way through the rockery in the garden and finally came to his destination tonight.

The three gilded characters of "Treasure Pavilion" are still colorful under the illumination of the lantern!

Walking into the Treasure Pavilion, Li Xianzhong immediately felt the warmth, although it was already cold outside, but the charcoal fire made this a real warm pavilion.

Soon, a pipa sound reached Li Xianzhong's ears.

However, unlike the melodious sound of the ordinary Qinglou, Liu Ruye's pipa is very eager, and it seems to have the momentum of thousands of troops and horses.

Although Li Xianzhong is not very proficient in music, he also knows that Liu Ru is playing the ancient song "Ambush on All Sides".

Li Xianzhong said: "This king originally thought that Jiangnan women should like graceful tunes like "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", but I didn't expect the girl to be different! ”

At this time, Liu Ru got up with the pipa in his arms and saluted Li Xianzhong.

Liu Ru is wearing a cyan brocade robe, although it is not as gorgeous as most Qinglou women wear, but it is also a little elegant.

However, after seeing her face, Li Xianzhong was still a little disappointed.

It's not that Liu Ru is not beautiful.

Although she still looks a little green at the age of 13, her delicate facial features and a pair of clear and bright big eyes must be a big beauty.

It's just that Li Xianzhong can be regarded as a veteran in this area now, and he has a lot of contact with all kinds of beauties, to be honest, Liu Ru didn't surprise him too much.

The main reason is that it is difficult to live up to the fame, and the title of "the head of Qin Huai Bayan" is too big.

But soon Li Xianzhong felt that Liu Ru was different.

Liu said: "The prince was born in Jiangmen, Liaodong, and the slave family thinks that the prince likes Jin Ge Iron Horse, but he doesn't want the prince to like "Spring River Flower Moon Night"! ”

It seems that Liu Ru regards himself as a big boss.

The atmosphere in Jiangnan has always been like this, the consumption of Qinhuai River is not low, and most of the people who can go in and out of it for a long time are the children of rich families in Jiangnan.

These people's marriages are all based on family backgrounds, and even if they don't like their wives anymore, they don't dare to offend their parents.

Even if it is the top brand of Qinhuaihe, its best destination is just to be favored by those literati who like to sell poetry and vassal elegance, and redeem themselves as a concubine.

Li Xianzhong naturally can't let Liu Ru take it lightly.

He said: "Mr. Ruoxu is alone in the whole Tang Dynasty's work, although this king is coarse and ink, he has always heard it!" ”

"Jiang Tian is free of fiber dust, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside, and when did the river moon shine at the beginning of the year? Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water."

In the mouth of the Jiangnan gentry, Li Xianzhong, the king of Liaodong County, is just a martial artist.

Liu Ru never thought that the prince in front of him was not only handsome, but also able to discuss poetry with him.

Liu Ru was also interested all of a sudden, and she said: "There is also a song "Spring River Flower Moon Night" here in the slave family, I don't know if the prince has heard it?" ”

"The twilight river is not moving, and the spring flowers are in full bloom. The waves will go to the moon, and the tide will bring the stars! ”

This "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" was written by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and it was not widely circulated.

Unexpectedly, Li Xianzhong said: "The world only knows Yang Guang's bad deeds, but they don't know that his poetry is the crown of kings in the past; I'm afraid that only the Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty is in between! ”

"From this king's point of view, this song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" is ingenious and unique, and it is no worse than Zhang Ruoxu's."

"If this king is not mistaken, Yang Guang's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" has two songs, and this is just one of them."

The other is: The night dew contains flowers, and the spring pool is rippling with moonlight. Hanshui is a wandering girl, and Xiangchuan is worth the second concubine. ”

At this time, Liu Ru looked at Li Xianzhong incredulously.

Although the Li family in Liaodong is a general, it is also a big family after all, and it is not surprising that Li Xianzhong knows some Tang and Song poems.

However, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had a very poor reputation, and his poems were extremely unpopular.

Don't say that it is Li Xianzhong, even some Jiangnan literati who are vassal and elegant may not know!

Li Xianzhong not only knows the first poem, but also can produce the second poem, which can only show that he really likes Yang Guang's poems.

It's not a martial artist!

Liu Ru said: "Since the prince likes Yang Guang's poems, he should also have heard this poem "Xingjiang Composed Poems". ”

"If you can't go back, it's really a spring. The birds fight for wine, and the plum blossoms laugh and kill. ”

After Liu Ru said this poem, he saw Li Xianzhong's face sank, and he said with some displeasure: "This poem was written by Yang Guang when he was trapped in Yangzhou. ”

Instead of being afraid, Liu Ru said sternly: "It is really a big mistake for the prince to help the emperor to abuse, provoke a war, and force Emperor Chongzhen to death!" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong only felt that his head was groggy, and he said: "There is something wrong with this incense!" ”

Then he fainted!

Liu Ru pushed Li Xianzhong and said softly: "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

Seeing that Li Xianzhong didn't react, she pulled out her golden hairpin!

said to Li Xianzhong who was in a coma: "Lord, Liu Yin is also a last resort, killing you alone can save the people in Jiangnan; The debt to the prince can only be made up for in the next life! ”

After that, the golden hairpin in her hand pierced Li Xianzhong's neck!

At this time, I saw Li Xianzhong suddenly open his eyes, and one hand quickly grabbed Liu Ruye's golden hairpin and pushed it to the ground!

Li Xianzhong scolded: "You really dare to assassinate this king, don't you want to die?" ”

Then the guards outside the house rushed in.

Li Xianzhong waved his hand and said, "This king is fine, you can extinguish the incense!" ”

At this time, Li Xianzhong pulled out a silver needle from his neck and said, "You are very clever, you did not open the window to ventilate, and let yourself be close to the window to arouse the suspicion of this king. ”

"I didn't carry any refreshing herbs on my body, so that this king smelled an abnormal smell."

"I guess you must have smelled this incense for a long time and developed a certain resistance to it, so you can make sure that you faint later than this king!"

The reason why Li Xianzhong knew this was because the Intelligence Department also used a similar method to train agents.

Putting yourself in the same environment as your target will ensure that you will be captivated while you are still awake!

Li Xianzhong was a family of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, so his sense of smell was still more sensitive than ordinary people, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt that the sandalwood here seemed to have a little more flavor than usual.

He had already taken advantage of Liu Ru's inattention to pierce a silver needle into his Feng Chi acupoint to ensure that he could stay awake for a long time.

Just in case, he also bit the tip of his tongue!

Looking at the surprised Liu Rus, he said, "Don't you say that I also know which Jiangnan gentry sent you to assassinate the king?" ”

"Let me guess if it's the Fushe or the Donglin Party?"

In his previous life, he was still very interested in Qin Huai Bayan, so he knew Liu Ruyi's details very well.

Liu Ru was originally a courtesan and could draw poetry.

When she first married Yunjian Xiaolian as a concubine, she learned poetry from filial piety. After being abandoned, he traveled in Wu Yuejian.

She was once interested in Chen Zilong, Chen Zilong is a native of Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili, Wang Shiming said that she is from Songjiang, and it is obvious that Liu Ru should be with Chen Zilong at this time.

And Chen Zilong is one of the main members of the Restoration Society.

Seeing that Liu Ru bowed his head and was silent, Li Xianzhong said: "Chen Zilong's wife Zhang Ru is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he categorically doesn't dare to accept you, it's just to use you!" ”

Liu Ru looked at Li Xianzhong in surprise and said, "How can the prince know this? ”

Li Xianzhong said with some pride: "Chen Zilong's poems are well written, and the abacus is good enough, but it's a pity that he ran into this king." ”

"Did he tell you that if he failed, he would say that Wang Shiming, a Hui merchant, instructed you to do it, so that this king would be angry with Hui Shang, and they would oppose this king's implementation of the 'Hongguang New Deal'!"

"These families have a lot of wealth in their hands, but they never pay taxes, and the taxes have to be borne by the common people. Over time, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. ”

"The people can't survive anymore, aren't they going to rebel?"

Liu said: "The little woman doesn't understand these big truths that the prince said. ”

"But heaven is constant, the prince supports the king of Fu to rebel, causing chaos in the world, this is a great sin!"

Li Xianzhong said with a smile: "At the beginning, Chengzu Zhu Di's 'Fengtian Jingdifficult' was a rebellion, and now Hongguang Tianzi has the edict of Wanli Ye, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan personally identified and confirmed it as Wanli Ye's will!" ”

"This king is ordered to rebel, how can he rebel?"

"This king doesn't need your confession!"

Then he said to the guards: "Songjiang Chen Zilong wants to assassinate the king, the crime is unforgivable, and the order is to arrest Chen Zilong, and it will be late to choose a day!" ”

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and this king will not punish his nine clans; No need to judge, directly wipe out the three clans! ”

Liu Ru said: "The prince is so big, now this Jiangnan is not under your rule, right?" ”

Li Xianzhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "This king's Liaodong Navy Division has already occupied Chongming, just let them take Songjiang and capture the thieves!" ”

Then he said in front of Liu Ruye: "The Fushe is suspected of murdering this king, and ordered Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, to immediately ban the Fushe and arrest its main members!" ”

Looking at Liu Ru's surprised expression, Li Xianzhong said with a smile: "Do you not believe that the eunuchs left behind in Nanjing and the officials of the six ministries will listen to the orders of this king?" ”

"So let's make a bet, if they refuse to carry out the king's order, ban the Restoration Society, and arrest its main members, then the king will release you, and I will only assume that this assassination has not happened."

"But if they carry out the king's order, you will come out to prove that Chen Zilong is the mastermind behind this assassination!"

Liu Ru thought about it for a while, even if Li Xianzhong deceived herself, she had nothing to lose.

Anyway, she eliminated thieves for the country this time, and since the assassination failed, she was already ready to kill herself!

A few days later, the Liaodong Naval Division went all the way up the river from Chongming and appeared on the Zhenjiang River.

Several 1,800-ton giant ships used the 18-pounder Hongyi cannon on board to bombard the Jingkou Fort.

Hundreds of huge cannons roared at the same time, and the huge power of the flowering shells made Zhenjiang City several miles away feel a noticeable vibration.

In just one pillar of incense, the impregnable Jingkou Fort and thirty Hongyi cannons were all destroyed.

Two days later, this Liaodong Navy Division appeared on the Nanjing River!

The people of Nanjing were amazed when they saw these huge masts and sails!

The naval warships originally stationed in Nanjing did not dare to meet the enemy at all, and had already sailed to the area of Quarry Rock in the west of Nanjing.

The beautiful name says: Prevent the Liaodong Army from crossing the river from Quarry Rock!

At this time, Li Xianzhong sent someone to deliver his order.

He did not demand that the city of Nanjing surrender directly, but only explained that Chen Zilong sent people to assassinate him in Yangzhou, and demanded that Nanjing ban the Fushe and arrest its main members.

Obviously, Chen Zilong angered Li Xianzhong, he was going to take the Restoration Society!

Although the Fushe formed an alliance with the Donglin Party, they did not have anyone who could speak in the Sixth Department of Nanjing.

Li Xianzhong wants the Donglin Party to make a cut with the Fushe in order to clear up the relationship!
