Chapter 197

Zhu Yihai frowned.

"We'll talk about these things later. Let me kill Fang Thief first." After saying that, he ignored them and came to Fang Guoan with his sword in hand.

Raise the sword and swing it down.

The sharp sword made by Shang Fang fell hard, and Fang Guoan's screams stopped abruptly.

The head rolled down and blood spattered.

Zhu Yihai is now used to killing people, and there is nothing unusual about blood.

He threw the sword directly to Zhu Shengli and returned to his seat.

"Okay, now we can talk about the supervision of the army."

Everyone was deeply shocked when they saw Jian Guo beheading Fang Guoan with his own hands and still looking calm.

Fang Yuanke from behind roared even more angrily, "His Royal Highness Zhennan Bo is the earl. He has an iron ticket to avoid death, and he will be spared three deaths!"

Zhu Yihai sat down and replied calmly, "It's true that the iron certificate in the elixir will forgive three deaths, but treason will not be forgiven!"

"Fang Guoan's deeds are a blatant conspiracy to rebel and will not be spared until death!"

"Pass the thieves' heads to all camps as a warning!"

Fang Guoan's body was dragged out, and the Yulin Army came in and quickly wiped away the blood stains.

The floor was clean, but the room was still filled with a strong smell of blood.

There was dead silence in the room.

Although everyone knows that His Royal Highness Jianguo is not an ordinary person, there are many rumors about Jianguo now, not only how Jianguo led his troops in the Northern Expedition to kill enemies and annihilators, but also how he defended the country when he was just a general in Shandong.

There were many things that happened in the city to resist the Qing Dynasty, such as directing artillery to bombard the enemy, and carrying fowling guns to fight with the prisoners in the streets.

In the end, he was stabbed three times and lay in a pool of blood, but he luckily escaped and so on.

But Fang Guoan is a count after all.

And Jian Guo was able to cut off a person's head with one blow, which was even more unusual. Even if ordinary people were brave and strong, it would be very difficult for them to behead someone without any experience.

"Miao Zhixian continues."

Miao Faxin was a little frightened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He stuttered when he spoke, "Fang Duanshi, Ruan Dacheng, and Pan Yinglou are all from the same hometown. It was Ruan Dacheng who recommended him to Fang Guoan before..."

It turns out that Fang Duanshi was also from Tongcheng, Anqing, and Pan Yinglou was originally an official in Taizhou. It was he who presided over the repair of the current city wall in Taizhou when he was in office. When Zhu Yihai went south to Taizhou, he had dealings with Pan Yinglou.

He still has some official reputation among the people.

After the news of the fall of Nanjing reached Taizhou, Taizhou became turbulent. Pan Yinglou went to Hangzhou to ask for troops to maintain local peace. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, King Lu surrendered, so Pan Yinglou stayed with him in Hangzhou.

After being surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was directly appointed as the Tongzhi of Hangzhou.

Pan Yinglou himself is very capable, especially handsome and has a good background. His father Pan Ruzhen was once the governor of Zhejiang, and he was the first to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, so the Pan family and his son were famous among scholars.

not too good.

In particular, Pan Yinglou had a close relationship with fellow countryman Ruan Dacheng. They organized the Zhongjiang Poetry Society together. Then Pan Yinglou had a daughter, Pan Fanghua, who married the son of fellow countryman Fang Kongzhen. Fang Kongzhen served as an official in Huguang during the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The governor encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong in eight battles and eight victories. He was a ruthless man.

Of course, Fang Kongzhen's son is also quite famous, because he is Fang Yizhi, one of the four great sons of Fushe.

Although Fang Duanshi said that he was from Hezhou, Nanzhi, his hometown was actually Tongcheng, Anqing. He was of the same clan as Fang Yizhi, but he later moved to Hezhou.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Fang Duanshi took in Pan Yinglou's wife, children, and even frequently exchanged letters with him. He also had a very close relationship with Ruan Dacheng.

To put it bluntly, they are from the Tongcheng circle.

Miao Faxin impeached Fang Duanshi for harboring the traitor Pan Yinglou's family and communicating secretly. He also had close private contacts with the treacherous minister Ruan Dacheng.

Not long after Pan Yinglou became a magistrate in Hangzhou, he was promoted to a salt law priest because of his strong ability in doing things. He often wrote letters to Ruan Dacheng, Fang Duanshi, etc., and contacted Fang Guoan through them to recruit security for the Qing Dynasty and persuade them to surrender.

"Fang Qing, is this something?"

Fang Duanshi was sweating on his forehead, and he knelt on the ground and replied, "My ancestral home is indeed from Tongcheng, Anqing Prefecture. I am indeed from the same hometown as Ruan Dacheng and Pan Yinglou, and we have exchanged letters. However, I only took Pan in because we were fellow townsmen and relatives."

I only talked about my wife and children in my correspondence with my family members, and nothing else. I have never thought of accepting the surrender of the Tartars..."

"The exchanges between the minister and Ruan Dacheng are just ordinary contacts between the township party. Moreover, Ruan Dacheng has been pardoned by His Highness a long time ago, and he is still serving as Shaoqing."

Ruan Dacheng was recognized as a member of the Wei party, also known as the eunuch party, and was considered a traitor to the Hongguang Dynasty. He was criticized together with Ma Shiying, but Zhu Yihai knew that Ruan Dacheng was actually a member of the Donglin party.

The Chongzhen Emperor convicted Ruan Dacheng of seven counts of crimes. The Donglin Party convicted Ruan Dacheng of the fifth degree, and the second degree of making friends with close servants. The crime was "Yin Xing Zan Dao", which means that although there is no evidence, there are private behaviors, which are somewhat unfounded anyway.

I feel that during the Chongzhen dynasty, officials were reduced to serving the people for seventeen years.

But back then, Ruan Dacheng was a rising star in Donglin, and he was a handsome man for a while.

He was once the proud disciple of Donglin leader Gao Panlong, and had a wide network of contacts among Donglin Party members. In the fourth year of Tianqi, when Ding You was at home due to his father's death, Zuo Guangdou, the backbone of the Donglin Party, wrote a letter asking him to come to Beijing as soon as possible and serve as an official.

They all gave Shizhong this important position. As a result, when Ruan Gaoxing came to Beijing, Donglin leader Zhao Nanxing and others rejected Zuo Guangdou's proposal, letting another Donglin rising star Wei Dazhong take the position, and let Ruan Dacheng do it.

All engineering subjects are in trouble.

The opinion of Zhao Nanxing and others was that Ruan Dacheng was too flamboyant, while Wei Dazhong was more established. There was no malicious intention at first, it was just a normal consideration, but Ruan Dacheng was unconvinced and felt that Wei Dazhong was inferior to him in every way, and now he has taken his position.

After raising his dissatisfaction with the leaders of Donglin, he was not resolved, so he couldn't swallow this and turned to Wei Zhongxian for help. Through his extensive connections, he found Wei Zhongxian's nephew and adopted son Fu Yingxing. Ruan Dacheng was willing to pay.

So a large amount of money was spent, and Wei Zhongxian asked Ruan Dacheng to take the position of Li Ke Du Shi Zhong.

Ruan Dacheng took back the position that originally belonged to him, but his young and energetic actions also offended the entire Donglin Party bosses, so Ruan Dacheng was finally forced to resign and return home.

At the end of Tianqi, the party struggle between Donglin and Wei Zhongxian was fierce. After Chongzhen came to power, the Wei Party was purged. Ruan Dacheng, who was living idle in his hometown, planned to come back and wrote two memorials, proposing that the chaos in the Tianqi government was blamed on the Donglin Party for the first four years and on the Donglin Party for the next three years.

Blame Wei Zhongxian.

His behavior of attacking both sides was praised by Chongzhen, who was awarded the title of Minister of Guanglu Temple of the third rank. However, it also violated an official taboo, so both the Wei Party and the Donglin Party attacked together, especially later.

When Dong Lin took charge of the Imperial Rebellion Case, he did not hesitate to regard Ruan Dacheng as a traitor who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, and was included in the eunuch party.

So Ruan Dacheng was immediately demoted to a civilian position and could not be reinstated until the Hongguang Dynasty, when Ma Shiying came back for him and recommended him to the court, and later served as Minister of War.

The rising star of Donglin back then turned out to be a rebel of the eunuch party. The story here is very legendary, and it was all the result of party struggle anyway.

However, Zhu Yihai had already issued an edict, banning the important documents of the three dynasties, pardoning the Wei party, obeying the rebels, etc., and he did not pursue the past matters. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were two traitorous officials who everyone called beating, but he did not pursue them either.

He was given the post of Shaoqing and summoned to work in the industry.

The purpose is also to unite all forces and stop blindly fighting between parties.

There is indeed something in the current impeachment of Miao Faxin, but in Zhu Yihai's view, it is not something too principled.

"Dismissal of Fang Duanshi's post as Supervisor of the Army and Censor, fined him a year's salary, demoted him to head of the Ministry of Works, and joined the Imperial Camp and Food Station to help with logistics." Zhu Yihai made the decision.
