Chapter 1089: Ruan Dacheng's heart
Sure enough, as Ma Shiying expected, on the morning of the second day, when he informed the cabinet and told the emperor, xt full works download waited for the place, and overnight, the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, or the Yangzhou Town Office in Beijing, had set up a color shed and set up a seat. It was full of officials, and when they looked at it, they were all members of the six departments in Beijing. It's bustling, huddled together, and it's so lively.
Ma Shiying was naturally invited to the high platform at the top, and Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi and others sat next to him.
Ruan Yuanhai and Qian Qianyi are now on the verge of fire, and as soon as they sit down, Lao Ruan will take his eyes and rip off the old man for a while.
Qian Qianyi sat there for a long time, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he only looked at the river.
At this moment, it is the hour of the hour, Nanjing is the southeast center, if in the past, the river has already been covered with ships coming and going, a prosperous scene. It is a pity that after Jiannu Azig occupied Jiujiang, Anqing, and Wuhu in the upper reaches, the Yangtze River shipping has been cut off. Now the river is empty, with only a few small fishing boats
。 Even in the bright May sun, it looks very bleak.
Seeing Ma Shiying on the high platform, all the officials stood up and bowed: "The elder is here." ”
Seeing so many ministerial-level high-ranking officials at the same level as himself respectfully greeting him, Ma Shiying especially enjoyed the feeling of being held by everyone's stars, and smiled: "The old man specially went to report this matter to the Son of Heaven, so he came late, sorry, sorry." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the Son of Heaven also knows about this, but I don't know what His Majesty said?" A cousin asked.
Ma Shiying replied with a smile and said: "Long Yanyue, the Son of Heaven, said that this is the first Qinwang army since Nanjing was invaded by Jiannu, even if there are not many people, it is good to be comforted, don't chill the heart of the loyal people who serve the country." ”
"Yes, what the Son of Heaven said is very true, and I think so too." All the dignitaries nodded one after another, and said in their hearts, when it was related to the safety of the capital and themselves, Emperor Hongguang, the absurd king who had always only liked to eat and drink, and did not ask about political affairs, could also see it.
In fact, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the prestige of the imperial court had fallen to the point where it could no longer fall. In the past, when foreign enemies invaded, without waiting for the emperor's holy decree, the town troops from all over the country would rush to lead troops into Gyeonggi, lest they miss the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.
But after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty one by one, the town troops in various places were afraid of the enemy, and they also felt that the Ming Dynasty was afraid that it would not be able to support it for a few years, so they naturally refused to lead troops to consume their strength in this kind of Qinwang War, which had nothing to do with their vital interests.
This is also the reason why when Li Zicheng broke through the Yongguan Pass and attacked Beijing directly, but no army went to Beijing to participate in the war. [See the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow] The chief officer of the Shandong Army directly pretended to be injured while riding a horse, even so, the court had nothing to do with them.
There is also a right Shaoqing of Dali Temple said: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the DPRK and China these days, the weather is hot, and it is good to come out and blow the river wind to scatter your heart." Stealing half a day's leisure. It's rare for everyone to gather like this today, so it's better to wait and find an elegant place to eat a few wines and write a few poems. ”
Another general secretary of the right general administration shouted solemnly: "Okay, Li Shaoqing, the country is in turmoil, Jiannu has already won a big victory, you don't want to think about how to retreat from the enemy, but you are worried about eating, drinking and having fun, is it possible that you still want to go to Qinhaihe to invite a few Qing people to come over?" It's not right for you to do this, the old man just wants to say, can you let me have fun too. ”
Although they were all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, everyone couldn't help but snort and laugh.
That right Tongzheng is a witty person, and when he saw that everyone was amused, he was even more proud: "Speaking of inviting a singer to accompany the wine, the old man has encountered an interesting thing."
。 ”
Li Shaoqing: "Huang Tongzheng, you have always had a lot of stories, tell it quickly, tell it quickly." ”
Huang Youtong said: "Last night, two people came to stay in the capital to see the old man in the same year, and the old man invited them to a painting boat on the Qinhuai River to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. But the singer she ordered waited for a long time to arrive, and the old man was displeased, so he scolded her and asked why she came so late. Guess what the singer answered? ”
At this time, someone asked curiously, "How do you answer?" ”
Huang Tongzheng said: "The woman replied that she was reading, and the old man was curious for a moment and asked her what she was reading. The woman replied again that "The Legend of the Martyr Girl", which immediately annoyed a person of the same year, and immediately scolded, "What does the read "The Legend of the Martyr'?" But the woman was not angry, and said, 'I am a female dog, but the adults are princes, and the female dog and the male monkey are perfectly matched.' ’”
After speaking, he glanced at Qian Qianyi.
"Haha!" Everyone in the room burst into laughter at the same time.
Everyone is happy in their hearts, knowing that this Huang Tongzheng is Ma Shiying's person, he is satirizing Qian Qianyi for marrying Liu Ruyi.
Although Qian Qianyi was extremely angry in his heart, he couldn't help himself, and his face was expressionless.
Ruan Dacheng, who was sitting next to Ma Shiying, touched a sip of tea with a "poof", his face was full of smiles, and he was hearty.
Since he sat down, Ruan Dacheng has been wearing a tiger face, looking preoccupied. In fact, he has this unyielding expression these days.
As for why this close friend is like this, Ma Cifu naturally knows in his heart: This old friend has a ghost in his heart!
At this moment, Ma Shiying couldn't help but ask in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Yuanhai, has Gu Yunchang been to your mansion recently?" ”
When Ruan Dacheng heard this, Huo Yisheng turned his head, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes. Seeing that it was Ma Shiying, his eyes retracted and became flickering, but he pursed his mouth and did not speak.
Ma Shiying sighed slightly, and said lightly: "Yuanhai, you have always been eclectic in your life and work, but there are some things that you really can't do, one wrong step, that is, you can't turn back." ”
Ruan Dacheng was silent for a moment, but he was especially stubborn: "Yaocao, don't listen to other people's nonsense, rumors stop at the wise, my heart is, and I am not afraid of people's words."
。 ”
Ma Shiying smiled bitterly: "Yuanhai, you are friends of life and death, in front of me, don't you tell the truth for a reason?" Actually, it was not that Gu Yunchang hadn't come to visit the old man, and the old man naturally wouldn't meet him, but the dog Ma Luan had met him and said a few words. ”
Ruan Dacheng looked at Ma Shiying, and said for a long time: "He also came to see Elder Ge, what did he say?" ”
Ma Shiying touched his beard: "What else can you say, don't you know Yuanhai?" ”
Ruan Dacheng was a little unbearable: "What do I know? ”
Ma Shiying patiently whispered: "Yuanhai, what else can it be, it is nothing more than that the Sixth Department of Beijing has prepared a seat for the old man, and it is estimated that it is the same as what you said." But have you thought about it, since a large number of officials from the north moved south, the six departments of Nanjing have long been overcrowded. To put it mildly, what used to be able to be done by one person, now three people can do it. There's no way, there are too many people, and they all need to be placed! You are the secretary of the military department, do you count how many waiters, langzhong, outsiders, and directors you have? If we go that far, can there be so many places to resettle in Beijing? ”
Ruan Dacheng's face moved, and he sat up straight.
Ma Shiying: "Yuanhai, you and I are now extremely human ministers, and we are about to show the burden in our chests. If I really went to Beijing, I guess I was an idle person. There are Manchurian people in Beijing over there, as well as old Han officials. Even if you and I pass, what about Hong Hengjiu, how about Wu Sangui and Kong Youde? I don't think this kind of day is what you and I want! This is a man and a worker, rather than the head of the chicken, not the queen of the cow. In two years, you will be able to enter the cabinet as a prime minister, is it not enough? Over there in Beijing, can you give you everything you have now? ”
"Besides, in Shilin, your reputation and I have been so bad that if you go to the north, how should history evaluate you and me, and how should history write this in the history books? It's hard to say that you want to be included in "The Biography of Shechen", Yuanhai, you and I are both old, what is the matter of life and death, and what is more important than the pen of a historian? Think twice, think twice! This is already heart-wrenching.
Ma Shiying can be said to have said all the words that were in his heart, Ruan Dacheng was also silent, and only after a long time did he look depressed, and muttered: "Huang Degong was defeated, and there was a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces over the Great Victory Pass, I don't know when this Nanjing will be lost, as for Sun Yuan, there is no news at all." Although the Ningxiang Army can fight, but if it loses, who can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield? What's the point of holding on? Mortals, birth, old age, sickness and death are just spring and autumn cycles. One person, one family, one country is nothing more than this, the so-called full moon is lost, our Ming Dynasty may have come to an end, and then martyrdom for him, even if the name of loyalty and righteousness of you and me is fulfilled? ”
Ma Shiying: "Isn't it enough to fulfill the name of loyalty and righteousness of you and me?" ”
Ruan Dacheng shook his head and said bitterly: "It's useless, Yaocao, you and I are already traitors in the mouth of the southeast gentleman, and our reputation is so bad that it can't be worse."
。 These bastards control public opinion, even if you and I are martyred in the future, it is estimated that they will not say a good word, and maybe there will be people who will clap their hands in celebration. Besides, what do you keep saying about Dong Hu's pen Dong Hu's pen, but Dong Hu and Taishi Gong have been dead for thousands of years, right? From that time to now, have you and I seen a few Sima Qian? ”
"Some are just those in power who wantonly falsify history, and history is like a little girl, at the mercy of the victors. Don't you see, the battle of Jingjing has not been conclusive until now? ”
"Once I was in the Ming Dynasty...... I said once ...... Yaocao, how many people can remember the persistence and sacrifice of you and me, and what is the value? You and I have been scolded as villains now, even if I die, I'm afraid I can't escape this reputation. ”
His voice was louder and excited.
The other officials didn't take Ma Shiying's review of the Ningxiang Sailor on behalf of the Son of Heaven to heart, in their opinion, it was to go to the river to blow a cool breeze, and at this moment they all gathered together to chat and laugh, and when they heard Ruan Dacheng's voice, they turned their heads at the same time.
Ruan Dacheng closed his mouth at this time.
This should be his psychological words, which means that he is bent on being a traitor, and he is completely desperate for the small court of Nanjing Hongguang.
Ma Shiying looked at him in surprise, and Ruan Yuanhai finally said something psychological. In fact, his remarks represent the sentiments of many Nanjing officials.
After a long time, waiting for the attention of other officials to divert their attention, the noise and laughter sounded again, and then he whispered: "You...... It's crazy......"
Ruan Dacheng: "Maybe." ”
Ma Shiying: "The old man and Sun Yuan have been on the battlefield together and know the combat effectiveness of the Ningxiang Army. The soldiers of Yangzhou Town are not inferior to Jiannu, and the battle of Jiangbei should still have to be fought, and the outcome is still unknown. As for Dashengguan, isn't the Yangzhou Town Water Division coming over soon? ”
Ruan Dacheng: "Five thousand sailors, a few boats, what use can they be, don't forget, Azig has 80,000." ”
