Seeing that Li Ruolian was listening carefully, Ma Shiying quickly continued: "He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He is good at poetry, lyrics and songs. He is also good at composing and singing. He has dramas such as "Swallow Notes" and "Spring Lantern Riddles".
The most popular, everyone loves to watch it, it’s hard to get a ticket, and he can also perform and sing the music himself..."
Listening to his introduction, Li Ruolian immediately remembered that the emperor seemed to want people with talents in this field very much, and it was said that Concubine Tian would be summoned to the palace for assessment.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard and the emperor's trusted general, he knew that this might have something to do with the immortal.
Of course, the Department of Political Affairs and Communication seems to be in need of talents who are good at these aspects. If you can uphold your intentions and conscientiously do what your Majesty has assigned you, that would be a good candidate.
Thinking of this, Li Ruolian immediately asked: "Who is this? Whose name is it?"
"Ruan Dacheng is now dismissed from office!" Ma Shiying felt that the ground had been laid, so he carefully said his friend's name.
After he finished speaking, he stared at Li Ruolian's face, worried that he would be rejected by Li Ruolian.
Because Ruan Dacheng's reputation is even worse than that of Lu Bu, a domestic slave with three surnames.
Why?
Because he offended the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party were all great Confucians, so his writing style was absolutely nothing to say. His criticism made him stink, and no one dared to use him.
As for the Eunuch Party, it fell apart because of the rise of Emperor Chongzhen. Ruan Dacheng was identified as a member of the Eunuch Party and dismissed from office. However, he wanted to be an official, so he went to curry favor with the Donglin Party and the successors of the Donglin Party, Fushe.
.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen felt that Donglin Party members were difficult to use, and he appointed former eunuch Party officials as officials. Ruan Dacheng was once again disliked, and he was disliked by both sides.
At this time, Li Ruolian heard that it was Ruan Dacheng. Not to mention, he had indeed heard of Ruan Dacheng's reputation.
If Ruan Dacheng was just a mediocre person, he wouldn't have ended up like this. His talent and learning can still be affirmed.
However, when everyone recommends someone, it is rarely selfless. In fact, in history, some people who were truly selfless and even recommended enemies to high positions for the State Council will leave their names in history.
When Li Ruolian heard the name Ruan Dacheng, he naturally had to consider what the consequences would be if he recommended this person to the emperor.
While he was thinking about it, Ma Shiying seemed to have something wrong. He knew in his heart that this opportunity was rare, so he immediately told Li Ruolian: "Jiangnan is mostly former Donglin Party members, but now it is a place for people who are in the society. The court wants to check the hidden households.
If the land is remeasured and taxes are strictly imposed, it will definitely harm the interests of these people. Now, Ruan Dacheng is being attacked by them. Whether it is public or private, he must try his best to do this well and will never let down the holy will.
of!"
At this point, seeing that Li Ruolian seemed to be a little moved, Ma Shiying immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Do you think this is good? I will go and fetch Ruan Dacheng immediately, and he will be responsible for conveying the intention of the court, appeasing the people's livelihood, and letting him
How about giving it a try within my own government?"
Hearing this, Li Ruolian no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded and said: "This is under the rule of the Governor. Whatever the Governor wants to do, just do it. The general will only be in charge of the military, and the prince will be in charge of civil affairs. If
If everything is convenient, then everyone will be happy!”
Although there was no direct reply, Ma Shiying was still overjoyed. At least for Ruan Dacheng, this was a trial opportunity. As long as he did well, returning to officialdom would not be a dream!
Thinking like this, he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately ordered his personal guards to explain, and immediately asked Ruan Dacheng to come to Fengyang. Then, he and Li Ruolian left the front office.
There was nothing much to say next. Ma Shiying announced the reorganization of Liu Liangzuo's troops and assigned various personnel to their stations. Among them, Huang Degong's troops were stationed in Fengyang and were watching the reorganization of Liu Liangzuo's troops.
Although Liu Liangzuo was not very happy about this, he was relieved. At least he was not punished, but he was only required to reorganize the army as ordered by Hu Dawei.
When the army is stationed in the area, it must also defend against thieves, then reorganize the army, pre-process the affairs of the state capitals, etc. This is a lot of things that cannot be done at once.
On this day, when Ma Shiying was busy handling government affairs, he suddenly heard his subordinates reporting that a friend was visiting outside the door.
When he saw the name card, he was immediately shocked. So he quickly put down what he was doing and hurried out to greet her.
Ma Shiying hurried to the gate of the Governor's Yamen. When he saw the man with a gray beard waiting at the door, he quickly clasped his fists and said in surprise: "Brother Ji, how come you arrived so quickly?"
The name of the collection is Ruan Dacheng, and the person who came here is Ma Shiying's best friend Ruan Dacheng.
What Ma Shiying didn't expect was that Prince Dehua of Dongchangchang from Songjiang Prefecture had not arrived yet, and Ruan Dacheng, an old man of nearly fifty-five years old, arrived first. It was really a bit of a surprise.
As he spoke, he quickly welcomed Ruan Dacheng into the house.
Not to mention, Ruan Dacheng, who usually likes to be elegant, turned out to be a little embarrassed and sweating profusely, which was not at all like his usual person.
At this time, Ruan Dacheng was seen walking inside with Ma Shiying, and he hurriedly asked Ma Shiying: "Brother, you can't just hang around as a brother! When I heard the news you sent, I really had to come here day and night.
!If Huangyou is your brother, you will be so angry!"
When Ma Shiying heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Brother Ji's great kindness has always been in my heart, so how can I sway my brother? Come on, let's talk inside!"
Ruan Dacheng looked very tired, and he seemed to be unable to walk. After hearing these words, his steps actually accelerated again, and his speed suddenly picked up.
Soon, Ma Shiying led Ruan Dacheng to the back office. After the guests and hosts sat down in the living room, Ruan Dacheng couldn't wait to ask Ma Shiying again after he asked his men to serve tea: "What kind of opportunity did you say, brother Xian, can make you?"
Brother, do you still have a chance to enter the officialdom again?"
In the past, he spent a lot of effort, money and effort to help Zhang Pu put Zhou Yanru on the throne of chief minister. However, under such circumstances, Zhou Yanru did not dare to use him as an official.
To be honest, this incident really hit him. It also made him realize that those Donglin Party members and Fushe people used him like a dog and then abandoned him after using him.
Therefore, he actually despaired of entering the officialdom again.
In the original history, after he was activated by Ma Shiying, he immediately set out to retaliate against the suppression of the Donglin Party and Fushe people.
This shows how much he hates the Donglin Party members and Fushe people in his heart.
Blocking his official path, humiliating him and not giving him a way to survive!
At this time, Ma Shiying heard Ruan Dacheng ask about this matter again, so he told Ruan Dacheng the situation.
In the meantime, while his men were serving tea, he paused briefly, but other than that, he almost finished speaking in one breath.
After listening to Ma Shiying's introduction, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but feel disappointed, and said a little angrily: "Brother, I thought Mr. Sun or Mr. Chief Assistant had some news for me, but what does this mean?"
When Ma Shiying heard this, he quickly said to Ruan Dacheng: "Brother Ji, if this matter doesn't have great potential, how could my foolish brother send a message? Zhengtong envoy, a third-grade official title, is waiting for brother Ji!"
After Ruan Dacheng became a Jinshi, he only served as an official for a total of three years. Not to mention a third-grade official who was in charge of a yamen, and officials at several lower levels had never done a good job.
Therefore, after hearing Ma Shiying's words at this time, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention other things, it is impossible for me to have a high position in the eyes of today's emperor just because of my brother."
After Ma Shiying heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't look at today's emperor with old eyes! Brother Ji, think about it, Jizhou Bo was before, but he was convicted by the emperor's decree and imprisoned for many years. No,
It’s not like he became the uncle of Jizhou, the third civil servant of our Ming Dynasty was knighted!”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up: Yes, Sun Chuanting was treated badly by him before. At least he only lost his official position, while Sun Chuanting was imprisoned and questioned!
Seeing the change in his expression, Ma Shiying smiled and continued: "Brother Yu has been paying attention to the capital. Since the news of the Battle of Songjin last year, it is said that after Emperor Taizu appeared, today's life is no longer the same as before.
And Yu, we can no longer use the previous methods to figure out the Holy Will!"
"Oh, please teach me, dear brother!" Upon hearing this, Ruan Dacheng felt happy again and quickly asked for advice.
Ever since Zhou Yanru didn't use him, he had actually become discouraged. He spent his days enjoying himself and really no longer cared about matters in the court.
After Ma Shiying heard this, he carefully explained some of his summary of Emperor Chongzhen to Ruan Dacheng.
"... From these things, we can see that today's people pay attention to reality. Whether they are members of the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, or the Zhejiang Party, as long as they have skills that can rejuvenate the country and secure the country, today's people will use it. And the more the
If there is an urgent need, Your Majesty will be promoted higher up!"
When Ma Shiying said this, he paused and then said: "Now, His Majesty is laying out an overall plan, the purpose is to rectify the officialdom and the people in Jiangnan, even if he cannot collect taxes for a few years, let the thieves cause chaos here. From this
It can be seen that His Majesty is very determined! If Brother Ji can help Your Majesty in this matter, I believe it is not impossible for His Majesty to be promoted beyond the level, no matter what happened in the past!"
Listening to Ma Shiying's well-founded analysis, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and quickly promised: "Don't say that I am doing this to give those Donglin Party members a good look. Even if it is not, I can do something for the emperor, so I am my brother."
I will do my duty and do my best to die!"
When Ma Shiying heard this, he burst into laughter. He knew that Ruan Dacheng would definitely do his best on this matter.
Thinking of this, he said to Ruan Dacheng again: "There is one more thing that can give Brother Ji an extra guarantee for his official career!"
