Liu Rushi picked up these pieces of paper, and after just a few glances, he was greatly shocked. The person who wrote the article was a master of writing, and his writing was fluent. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.
Putting aside Qian Qianyi's character, this leader Dong Lin is naturally not very talented in literature and knowledge. Liu Rushi can chat with him easily and has a lot of knowledge.
After all, scholars delve into eight-part essays and classics and history collections for the sake of being named on the gold list and winning the toad palace.
Liu Rushi, on the other hand, studies purely for the sake of having a bite of food and jumping out of the pit of fire. He spends more thought than most scholars.
Therefore, she quickly understood the essence of this article, and even paid attention to the hidden message. In the article, the change of dynasty was described as a new covenant between the founding king and the people.
This is not only a further explanation of winning the hearts of the people and winning the world, but also has a hidden meaning, which is to deny the divine right of kings and overthrow the illusory concept of destiny.
"You really have such a big heart and courage."
Liu Rushi read the end, and the article was signed with the word "One Yuan".
These two words can easily make people think of Zhu Yiyuan, and this is indeed the case. Gu Yanwu was inspired to write these articles by Zhu Yiyuan, so he had the nerve to put his name on it.
It seemed inappropriate to write about Zhu Yiyuan directly, so Gu Yanwu made a homophonic joke.
The word "一元" is inscribed on it, which means "One Yuan begins again and all things are renewed."
This is in line with the purpose of the article, and these two characters are also very convenient to write, so Zhu Yiyuan simply wrote "one yuan" under normal circumstances. In addition, he also gave himself a character called "新之".
Liu Rushi focused her attention on the article again and thought about it again. Gradually, she frowned deeply and fell into deep thought. Liu Rushi was not from a humble background. She was just unlucky in her childhood. She was sold to a wealthy family when she was only a few years old.
, later on, as she got older, her appearance was like that of a fallen flower, but she was abducted by the host's concubines, sold to a brothel, and became a prostitute.
But she is smart and talented, and has outstanding literary talent. She is appreciated by Qian Qianyi, and she has escaped from the pit of fire... But has she really become a master?
What are you thinking? Qian Qianyi is a bad old man who originally had a good reputation. Now that he has surrendered to the Qing court, his integrity has been lost and he has become a laughing stock.
The relatives of the Qian family also looked down upon Liu Rushi and criticized and slandered him in every possible way.
If Qian Qianyi died in the morning, Liu Rushi would be expelled from the Qian family before noon.
In fact, according to the laws of Emperor Taizu, it was impossible for a girl from a good family like her to be sold to a brothel... In other words, if it weren't for the land annexation and her parents couldn't survive, they wouldn't have sold her.
Tracing back to the root cause, it is what the article mentioned, that constantly violated the laws and destroyed the agreement with the people at the beginning of the founding of the country.
With this in mind, I read the third article again, about redistributing land, determining taxes, and gaining support from the people, especially the elimination of lowly status, the release of slaves, granting acres of land to women, etc... Almost every one of them was focused on Liu Rushi.
heart.
In a daze, she actually felt yearning for it.
At this time, a maid suddenly came over and said that the Lord invited her to come over.
Liu Rushi quickly hid the article and went to see Qian Qianyi.
It was no coincidence that Tianqiaoxing was the governor. It was too difficult to be the governor. Tens of thousands of troops encircled and suppressed the Zhu thieves, but they returned without success. The court was furious, and Dorgon issued a handwritten edict, scolding Qian Qianyi.
Showering his head doesn't give him any dignity at all.
To put it bluntly, he was originally a minister who had subjugated his country. The Qing Dynasty was merciful and gave him the opportunity to recruit a party. Now that he is incompetent and unable to be driven, should the Ming Dynasty also remove him?
Qian Qianyi was so frightened that he almost collapsed and quickly apologized.
"In the end, I was still not familiar with the situation of thieves. I took it for granted, thinking that he was just a bandit and would be easy to deal with. But now it seems that this bandit is good at deceiving people.
You’re no longer young!”
Liu Rushi moved slightly and said, "Master, what do you think the fate of the red thief will be?"
Qian Qianyi chuckled, "If ten years ago, he and Li Zhang were competing for the world, he still had some chance of winning. Now, in the Central Plains of Dingding in the Qing Dynasty, he is already a trapped beast in Shandong, and his death is imminent."
Liu Rushi was even more surprised, "Master, is this really true?"
Qian Qianyi was in a good mood and said with a smile: "The imperial court has cleared Guanzhong, Li Chuang has taken charge, and the remaining troops have retreated to Huguang, which is no longer worth mentioning. Now they have mobilized 30,000 people from the Central Plains to Shandong and Jiangnan. Although they are attacking eastern Zhejiang
, but they also sent 18,000 people to Xuzhou. Together with the soldiers recruited from Shandong, there are almost 100,000 people. Once the heavenly soldiers gather, the death of the red thief will be imminent."
Liu Rushi frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking.
Qian Qianyi said: "Why, you don't want the court to destroy the traitors?"
Liu Rushi hurriedly said: "That's not what I meant. I just think the red thief is cunning. Originally, he only had three counties and couldn't be eliminated. Now that he has conquered so many territories, it will be even harder to kill him."
Qian Qianyi laughed loudly, "You don't know this. In the past, the court did not know the true and false status of the red thieves, so it restrained its hands. This time it is different. I have captured a very important person for my husband."
"Who?" Liu Rushi's heart was beating wildly.
Qian Qianyi was so proud that he naturally said, "It's that Yan Ermei. He went to Yangzhou and met Shi Kefa, and later went to Shandong. He knew the true and false nature of the Zhu thieves, and he also followed Xie Qian to defend the city. This person is a thieves
The thief among them!"
Liu Rushi was shocked, and she quickly calmed down, "Master, I have heard of Yan Ermei's reputation, but he was actually arrested?"
"Well!" Qian Qianyi said proudly: "Although I didn't catch Zhao Shizhe, I caught Yan Ermei, which is ten times better than Zhao Shizhe. This Yan Ermei should be going to contact the Yuyuan thieves, but I didn't expect to be arrested in Jiyang. As long as
If you pry open his mouth, my husband will know clearly the true and false status of Zhu Thief and Xie Thief. When the time comes, the land of Qilu will be pacified, only in the blink of an eye."
Qian Qianyi laughed wildly, but Liu Rushi couldn't be happy.
Although Yan Ermei was a scholar, he had a lot of integrity. Killing such a person would be punished by God.
But who can save Yan Ermei?
Liu Rushi thought about it and suddenly thought of a way. She immediately called the maid and asked where she bought the storybook. There were omissions in the storybook and she asked to return it.
It's just that there is an extra letter in the returned storybook...
"What happened, Mr. Yan was arrested by the Qing court."
Zhu Yiyuan was shocked and immediately said: "Huang Gong, is the news reliable?"
Huang Peidao: "It should be reliable. This is news from the governor's office. There is also a letter here. Although it is not signed, judging from the handwriting, it should be written by a woman."
"Woman?"
Zhu Yiyuan was even more surprised. He inherited his original memory and had no problem writing and reading, but it was a bit difficult for him to distinguish the handwriting.
Fortunately, there are many experts around Zhu Yiyuan. Zhao Shizhe, Song Jicheng, Ye Tingxiu, and Gu Yanwu all got together and studied it for a while. Ye Tingxiu coughed and said, "If I guess correctly, this is Liu's handwriting!"
Gu Yanwu also sighed and said: "People say that Liu Ru is so strong and powerful. Now that I see it, you really don't deceive me!"
With the certification of these two people, it is basically certain that this is what Liu Rushi wrote.
Originally, Zhu Yiyuan thought of contacting Liu Rushi to investigate Qian Qianyi's movements, but he did not expect that she would take the initiative to come over.
Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed and said, "If there is a lot of help, there will be a lot of help, but if there is not a lot of help, when we are fighting against the Qing government, we must not just look at the comparison of strength on paper. We must also consider that there are too many knowledgeable people of all kinds. Although they did not immediately seek refuge with us, they
But they are helping us in various ways. This is what the people want and where the strength of the people lies."
Zhu Yiyuan's words touched many people, especially Zhao Shizhe. He was able to escape because he talked through several government officials and returned safely.
"Qian Qianyi might not have thought that the person next to him would actually be on our side. If he knew about it, he would be furious... But in the current situation, how to save Yan Ermei cannot be delayed.
