Ruan Dacheng hurriedly changed his clothes and walked out without even having time to put on his shoes.
Under the corridor of the courtyard, a beautiful woman in her thirties came slowly and gracefully. She was wearing a silk skirt, which made her look particularly elegant and intellectual. The cut was decent and set off her figure well. She looked like a blooming flower.
Gardenia, she is Ruan Lizhen, the daughter of Ruan Dacheng.
A beauty full of Jiangnan water town temperament, she is also a talented woman who is famous in Jiangnan. Because she was exposed to dramas at home since she was a child, she grew up to become a famous dramatist. The script she wrote is also famous in Jiangnan.
Perhaps it was because Ruan Dacheng had betrayed Donglin by betraying his master and destroying his ancestors, and was shamelessly cursed by Shilin, so Ruan Dacheng had no children.
Ruan Dacheng was originally adopted as an heir to his uncle Ruan Yidian who had no heirs. As a result, he turned sixty and had no heirs, only one daughter.
I had no choice but to raise my nephew as a grandson.
Ruan Lizhen married Cao Taiwang, the son of Guanglu Shaoqing Cao Luji in the same year as Ruan Dacheng's hometown in Tongcheng, and they had several children. However, her husband had a bad reputation in the forest because of his father-in-law, so the couple did not get along well, and they wanted to divorce.
Just move back to your parents' home.
Today she was playing the piano, composing poems, and talking about script writing with several cousins. When she talked about the idea of writing, she came to her father for advice.
Several young Ruan girls are also beautiful.
"Father!"
Ruan Dacheng was not in the mood to talk to his most beloved daughter at the moment. He waved his hands as he walked, "Father, I have something urgent to do and I have to go out. Let's talk about it later."
Ruan Lizhen couldn't help but be surprised when she saw her father in a hurry. In her impression, her father always looked like he was very smart, so why was he so anxious today?
"What happened, Third Uncle?"
The butler then told him the shocking thing that had just happened.
Lu Jianguo led his imperial battalion to Fuyang, where he personally beheaded Nanbo Fang Guoan with his sword, recruited Fang Guoan's troops, and then ordered the Yulin army to send troops to Shaoxing, Tokyo, and issued an edict to remove Fang Fengnian from the post of bachelor.
Ruan Lizhen was also shocked by the news.
She knew very well that her father had a close relationship with Fang Guoan and Fang Fengnian, and even had a vague idea of what her father was planning recently. Now that something happened to Fang Guoan, she was worried that her father would be implicated.
Several little girls from the Ruan family turned pale with anxiety. In the past few years, the current situation has been turbulent, and they have experienced a lot of ups and downs. They have seen many ladies from famous families, but they have fallen into the dust.
"You go back first, don't worry, nothing will happen." Ruan Lizhen comforted her sisters.
······
Ruan Dacheng hurried out, got on the carriage and rushed to the Yamen.
Lu Jianguo launched an uprising in Taizhou and called himself the Jianguo. At first, he made Taizhou his headquarters, and later decided that Shaoxing would be his headquarters in Tokyo. He used the branch patrol yamen as his palace, various government offices as cabinets, and six provinces and other yamen.
There have been obvious changes on the streets of Shaoxing City.
The news had spread throughout the city, and everyone was shocked.
Along with Fang Guoan's leader came to Shaoxing, there was also the Yulin Army of Lu Jianguo's imperial army. After they entered Shaoxing, they quickly took over the city defenses of Shaoxing's gates.
Wang Zhiren, the governor of Beijing Camp, also received the order and immediately instituted martial law in Shaoxing.
The 3,000th Battalion of the Fifth Army Battalion cooperated with the Yulin Army and began to arrest people.
Ruan Dacheng rushed to the Yamen and found that many official officials had gathered here, including cabinet ministers, the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and even Zhang Guojun, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was there.
Everyone's face has a solemn expression.
When everyone saw Ruan Dacheng coming, they all just had cold faces. Most people still hated Ma and Ruan, especially those from Donglin. They always regarded Ruan Dacheng as a traitor, betrayed Donglin, and deceived his master to destroy his ancestors.
If you are an eunuch and rebellious, you have already sworn quarrels with him.
Ruan Dacheng walked straight to Ma Shiying and asked, "Brother Yaocao, what's going on?"
When working in Shaoxing, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were good brothers who shared weal and woe. He was from Guizhou, and they took the examination together in the 47th year of Wanli. Compared with Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying had a smooth official career at first, and was first appointed as the head of the Nanjing Household Department.
During the period, he successively served as the prefect of Yanzhou, Henan and Datong. In the early days of Chongzhen, he moved to Shanxi as deputy envoy to Yanghe Road. Five years later, he was promoted to censor of Youqiandu and governor of Xuanfu.
However, just one month after taking office, he was exposed by the guarding eunuch for embezzling thousands of money from public funds and bribing dignitaries in the country. He was dismissed from office and exiled. At that time, Ma Shiying was also a member of the Donglin Party. When he was demoted, the Donglin Party still remained
Call it a trap set up by the eunuchs and defend him.
Later, Ma Shiying lived in Nanjing and reunited with Ruan Dacheng, who was well-known and well-connected in Jiangnan, in the same year. The two frustrated people got along very well.
Although Ruan Dacheng was listed as a rebel and could not be re-employed, he had extensive relations with the DPRK and China. After some operations, he donated tens of thousands of dollars to help the Donglin Party and Fushe to help Zhou Yanru enter the cabinet.
Zhou Yanru originally wanted to repay Ruan Dacheng after he became the first assistant, but because Ruan was hated by everyone in Donglin, Ruan Dacheng finally asked Zhou Yanru to help Ma Shiying come back. Ma Shiying naturally remembered this great kindness after she successfully made her comeback.
Therefore, Ma Shiying later led the four towns in Jiangbei to support Prince Fu as Governor of Fengyang. After becoming the first success of the Hongguang Dynasty, he spared no effort to recommend Ruan Dacheng to come back.
The two of them shared weal and woe, and they were once both heroes of the Eastern Forest, but later they both became traitorous officials of the eunuch party.
After arriving in Shaoxing, the two frustrated people could only hug each other for warmth.
Ma Shiying, who used to be the chief assistant of the Hongguang Dynasty, sighed to Ruan Dacheng, "Something big has happened. Fang Guoan was executed by the Supervisor, and Fang was dismissed from office every year."
"How could this happen?" Although Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying have a bad reputation, compared to most Donglin Party members who claim to be upright gentlemen, they are both more capable people. Although Hongguang Chao and the two leaders are
The government had no merit at all, and the Hongguang Dynasty was quickly destroyed. The two of them had unshirkable blame. However, given that the grassroots team at that time was still busy with internal fighting, no one could succeed and no one could turn the tide.
Just like the very loyal Governor Shi Kefa of Jiangbei, although he was full of loyalty, he could not command the warlords of the four towns. He had no feasible way to resist the Qing Dynasty and defend Huaihe. In the end, he could only fight with Yangzhou
The city perished together, just to repay the country with death.
Ma Shiying pulled Ruan Dacheng aside and said, "There are more than ten major crimes in supervising the national security of several countries, the most critical one is conspiracy."
"Hey, actually, I think it's because Fang Guoan secretly caused the incident with King Yiyang. He didn't listen to advice and was too domineering. But he didn't look at who he was facing. The supervisor was not Emperor Sheng'an. He
It’s not like Zuo Liangyu and Jiangbei Four Towns don’t have that kind of capital.”
"The fate of the separated corpses now can be regarded as self-inflicted." Although Ma Shiying originally joined Fang Guoan's army from Hangzhou City and spent a long time together, Fang Guoan's actions were indeed self-inflicted.
Lu Jianguo was so powerful that he didn't know how to restrain himself. Instead, he changed his mind and was beheaded by Lu Jianguo himself with a sword. Who can blame him?
Ruan Dacheng felt that his hands and feet were always cold, but even in the hot weather in July, he was shivering slightly.
"The supervision of the state is becoming more and more unpredictable."
Ma Shiying was quite calm, "I think there is a track record for what the Jianguo does. This is the leader of Zhongxing. He is decisive in killing. He can tolerate King Yiyang, King Tongcheng, etc. who call the Jianguo the emperor. King Jingjiang can tolerate it."
Also known as the Supervisor of the State, he was imprisoned until death for provoking a civil war, and King Yiyang was even punished by an express decree."
"Chen Wu was killed and Huang Binqing was still safe after being handed over to Zhoushan. These are actually obvious."
Fang Guoan refused to truly accept Jianguo's edict and reorganization, which Lu Jianguo couldn't tolerate. Taking advantage of this return, he killed him with a black tiger strike out of his heart.
Fang Fengnian stepped down because Fang Guoan once recognized him as his adoptive father, and the two exchanged close secret letters. It is said that these letters have now fallen into the hands of the supervisor.
"Should Fang Fengnian be dismissed as prime minister or imprisoned?" Ruan Dacheng asked for details.
"Supervise the country's decree and leave some dignity to Fang Fengnian, so that he can become an official by begging for his own bones."
These results surprised Ruan Dacheng, "Only to resign and become an official? But not to go to jail?"
"No, Fang Guoan was executed for treason, but Fang Fengnian only allowed him to resign and did not pursue liquidation. He even gave him the title of Shaofu and Zhu Guo. He also ordered that he still receive full salary after becoming an official. He also ordered his two grandsons to be included.
Walk in front of the emperor and listen."
"His Highness, this person is really generous during the New Year." Ruan Dacheng sighed. For ordinary people, if it were Chongzhen or Hongguang who was involved in a case like Fang Guoan's, it would be impossible for him to escape unscathed. He would definitely be implicated and executed.
"It is said that His Highness said that Fang Fengnian had gone on a hunger strike in Shaoxing city before and was waiting to die, preparing to die for the country. It was Zheng Zunqian who rescued him during the Shaoxing uprising. The supervisor said that he, Liu Gong, Qi Gong and others were all loyal ministers of the country. Now he has made some mistakes, but
If his crime does not lead to death, leave him some dignity."
Ruan Dacheng didn't know whether to say that the supervisor was a bit cruel or kind.
Over there, Fang Guoan, a great general, was still Zhennan Bo, but he killed him whenever he was told, and he went to kill him himself. But here, Fang Fengnian gave him a leniency, and even gave him a job, a full salary, and hired his grandson.
"Fang Guoan was killed, did his subordinates cause rebellion? Does His Highness intend to use Fang Fengnian to recruit Fang Guoan's people?" Ruan Dacheng asked. After all, Fang Fengnian's hometown is Yanzhou, and he is Fang Guoan's adoptive father. If he goes to recruit Fang Guoan,
If Fang Guoan's troops are involved, it will be very effective and avoid unrest.
"Maybe." Ma Shiying said. He is also sitting on the bench now, and the information he knows is basically public.
Ruan Dacheng said, "We have also stayed in Fang Guo'an's army for a period of time, and we are familiar with the generals of Fang Bu. Why not take this opportunity to write to the Supervisor and invite us to recruit Fang Bu?"
Ma Shiying was stunned at first, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is really an opportunity. If they can handle this matter well, then they can prove their ability and attitude in front of the Supervisor.
"Thanks to Brother Ruan for reminding me to write the memorial quickly."
"Well, let's jointly petition." Ruan Dacheng said. Anyway, since the Hongguang Dynasty, the two of them have been inseparable from each other. Ruan has always been inseparable from his horse, and was attacked by the court officials.
Ma Shiying said excitedly, "I also served as the prefect of Yanzhou for several years. I think I am familiar with Yanzhou. Besides, I also know a little about the other party. I will do my part in this matter."
Ruan Dacheng stroked his beard and said, "Let's go together. Even if you become the magistrate of Yanzhou and I will be the magistrate, it will be better than staying here all day and sitting on the bench."
