The Donglin Party members have always appeared as honest men, so why did they suddenly collude with the spies? Naturally, this is a political "expedient measure", and for the sake of "political struggle", means can be ignored.
Not only that, Wu Changshi was also famous for his greed.
Chongzhen tried every possible means to raise military pay to wipe out the bandits and resist the Jinluo. After much deliberation, he decided to sell his ancestral property.
"Concerned about the shortage of national supplies, the Liao ginseng stored in Wanli was sent to the market for foreign trade. Among them, there were micropores, firm color and long-lasting flavor, which were very different from other ginseng. However, Wu Yi and Cao Chang had the most on the market, and they all used the best ones.
, I heard that I can get tens of thousands of gold from this trade.”
Wu Changshi took this opportunity to make a deal. This deliveryman, Mi Hujue, was not only corrupt, but also had no credit for corruption and could not get bribes from others.
"I and Wu Du admonished Lin Zheng, who was appointed as an official at the same time, and once secretly inquired about it. Mr. Wu was arrogant, so why did he blame him? Lin Zheng said: He is not the only one from his hometown, but also a member of his family. However, he really despises his actions. For example
The prince and prefect of Jiaxing Prefecture offered money to the father-in-law for his ancestral property. He heard that he had given two thousand gold in trust, but he actually pocketed it. When he was about to be imprisoned, Yi Cang was panicked and hurriedly loaned money to Chang'an to make up for the problem. He also ordered Liu from Haiyan to give it to his parents in the city.
Also, he lured tens of thousands of dollars into his own country and made excuses to seek good opportunities. However, even his room master did not communicate with him. Now he is in jail and has no money to dress up. He is especially greedy during the prosperous period...Chu Liu
When someone entered the palace, he secretly entrusted it to his son when he was prosperous. Liu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he circled it again with a blue pen and erased it with an ink pen. He blamed the chief minister Wu Hanlin Guohua for doing it.
, No. That’s why I hate it. If Wang gave me five hundred gold as a gift, I would not be happy with Chang Shi Yier. This is not what Shu Cao Gang said."
Corruption caused strife among the bureaucracy, and each other used censors to impeach each other. The censors actually became a tool in their political struggles.
"Just use these things to make a fuss." Ding Yunyi said coldly: "First, he made friends with factory guards. Another minister had an affair with an eunuch. The second reason is that he is corrupt... Sir, what the emperor hates the most is
It's these two points, I don't believe that I can't defeat him. If he collapses, Zhou Yanru will be like losing an arm."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Pu praised repeatedly. Then he heard Ding Yunyi say:
"In addition, how to protect your husband's safety is also crucial. My idea is to hire more loyal guards for you, who will stay with you day and night. As for the cost, I will bear it all."
Zhang Pu's eyes were filled with gratitude: "Xiang Wen has done this for me, how can I repay him in my life?"
"Why are you so polite, sir?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "Although Ding Yunyi is a vulgar person, there are not many people who can look at him, and sir is the first one. Ding Yunyi's admiration for sir cannot be expressed in words.
It's an honor for me to do something for you. If you really want to thank me, just treat Yun Yi to a good meal in Nanjing."
Zhang Pu was startled, then laughed: "Okay, okay. It's a coincidence that Xiang Wen has come. Tonight is the Oiran Conference on the Qinhuai River. There are gatherings of literati and elegant people. Why don't Xiang Wen come with me?"
Oiran convention? Ding Yunyi immediately became interested.
I had heard about the Oiran Convention a long time ago, and my concubine Han Xiaoxiao even won the top prize in the Oiran Competition. I didn't expect that this time I would be lucky enough to be able to see the grand event of the Oiran Convention.
Zhang Pu was grateful to Ding Yunyi for saving his life. With a series of previous arrangements, Nanjing was not far from Suzhou and could be considered his territory. This time, he had already made up his mind to fulfill his duties as a landlord.
They arranged for Ding Yunyi and several of his brothers to have some snacks and chat casually for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he took Ding Yunyi and others out together.
Just then he stood up and saw that Ding Yunyi was still carrying the world-famous sword "Dragon Tooth". He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is Xiang Wen still preparing to fight with the enemy here?"
Ding Yunyi also smiled and said: "I'm used to carrying it around, and I can't leave it for a moment."
After leaving Zhang's Mansion, I got on the carriage and soon arrived at the Qinhuai River.
It is said that when King Wei of Chu visited the east, he saw the purple air rising above Jinling. He thought it was the king's energy, so he cut a square mountain and cut off a long ridge to create a dam and entered it into the river. Later generations mistakenly believed that this water was opened during the Qin Dynasty, so it was called "
Qinhuai".
Both sides of the river from Dongshuiguan to Xishuiguan have been the residential areas of prosperous commercial areas since the Eastern Wu Dynasty. During the Six Dynasties, it became a place where famous families gathered, merchants gathered, literati gathered, and Confucianism flourished. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it gradually declined.
, but attracted countless literati and poets to come here to pay their respects, chanting that "in the old days, the kings and the swallows in front of the hall flew into the homes of ordinary people." In the Song Dynasty, it gradually recovered and became the cultural center of Jiangnan. The Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty, were the heyday of Qinhuai in the Ten Miles.
.Golden powder towers, row after row; painted boats rippling in the waves, the sound of oars and lights and shadows form a dream-like beauty and wonder.
Huangfu Yunjie, Hou Lu, and Deng Changgui either spent many years suppressing bandits in the Central Plains or guarding the border in Liaodong. Later, they all followed Ding Yunyi to Taiwan. When had they ever seen the dreamlike scenery of the Qinhuai River? They were all fascinated by it for a moment.
Already.
At this time, the Qinhuai River was already full of flower boats. The literati, gentry and wise men had already ordered flower boats, and the Qinhuai River was filled with people.
What kind of person is Zhang Pu? The leader of the Jiangnan scholars, almost no one recognized him. As soon as he arrived, everyone was greeted by "Mr. Ximing".
"Zhang Tianru." Suddenly there was such a call.
Ding Yunyi was very curious, who dared to call Zhang Pu so directly? Zhang Pu's courtesy name was Tianru, and his nickname was Ximing. Anyone who could call Zhang Tianru directly must be either his teacher or a good friend.
When Zhang Pu saw the visitor, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out Mr. Mu Zhai has arrived."
Mu Zhai? Why does it sound so familiar? Ding Yunyi looked at the person. He looked about in his early fifties. He looked full of energy, but there was a bit of decadence between his eyebrows.
"Come on, come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qian Qianyi Qian Shouzhi, named Muzhai." Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Qian Qianyi? Is this person Qian Qianyi? Ding Yunyi couldn't help but look at him more.
The leader of the Donglin Party later offended Wen Tiren, lost his official position, and spent half his life frustrated. This man had serious integrity problems, and the things he did were really disgusting.
After Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Meishan, the Ming Dynasty fell. In April, Qing troops entered the customs and occupied Beijing. On May 15, Ming Fu King Zhu Yousong was located in Nanjing and changed his reign to Hongguang. At this time, Qian Qianyi used his wife
Liu Rushi was acquainted with Ruan Dacheng and got the position of the Minister of Rites. "Qian (Qianyi) entertained himself with sex and sex, and lost his integrity. He surrendered to Ruan Dacheng and offered his concubine Liu as a gift. Ruan gave him a pearl crown as a gift.
It’s worth thousands of gold. I ordered Liu Ji to thank Ruan for the money. She was also ordered to move to the table near Ruan. His ugly appearance is disgusting.”
In Yiyou, the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and in May of the first year of Hongguang in the Qing Dynasty, Qing troops approached Nanjing. Liu Rushi persuaded Qian Qianyi to die for the country. Qian Qianyi refused. Not only did he surrender with a shy face, but he also shaved his hair. At that time, Qian Qianyi
Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan and Yuan Shu, the governor of Henan and Yuan Shu, who was a good friend of Qianyi, both vowed not to serve in the Qing Dynasty and died in depression.
This man can be considered a big traitor.
His future wife, Liu Rushi, was a chaste woman. The Qing soldiers came to the pass and urged her husband to commit suicide to keep his reputation. It would be a pity for such a woman to marry a piece of shit like Qian Qianyi.
That's right, that's right, Liu Rushi still doesn't recognize Qian Qianyi, so he has to find a way to mess up this marriage. It's best... just find a way to recruit Liu Rushi into the Ding family.
That's the best thing...
He was thinking about his sweet dream, but Qian Qianyi also paid attention to him. Seeing this man with a knife hanging on his waist, he must be a martial artist, and he was surprised. Zhang Pu was a great scholar, and he didn't think highly of dancing with swords and guns.
Why did you get mixed up with a martial artist today?
"Mu Zhai, let me introduce you." Zhang Pu looked to the side and lowered his voice: "Do you know who this is? He is Wu Liebo, a Fujian man who conquered the Central Plains, fought bloody battles at the border, and fought against the enemy in Taiwan.
Commander-in-Chief, General Hussars, and Guardsmen Ding Yunyi and Ding Xiangwen!"
Qian Qianyi took a breath of air.
Although he traveled to Jiangnan and other places after being dismissed from office, Ding Yunyi's reputation in the past two years has become so famous. There is no one in the country who has not heard of his reputation.
Especially after Zhang Pu returned to Suzhou, he promoted Ding Yunyi everywhere. Everyone said that Taiwanese Ding Yunyi was the first official in the world who valued scholars. He treated scholars well and valued them as much as anyone else. Especially when listening to
After he said that Zhang Pu wanted to build Jiangnan Academy, he even spent a huge sum of money to finance it. It would be difficult to find another person like him in the world.
What is Zhang Pu's identity? After his publicity, the Jiangnan scholars knew that Ding Yunyi from Taiwan was the number one confidant of scholars in the world. There were even some frustrated scholars who had gone to Taiwan to find a way out.
What surprised Qian Qianyi was not this, but that Ding Yunyi actually came to Nanjing.
His mind was spinning very fast.
He was ostracized by Wen Tiren. Although Wen Tiren was dead now, his career as an official was far away. Ding Yunyi in front of him might be able to help him.
He has won the trust of the emperor, holds great power, and is a good friend of Wang Chengen, the father-in-law of the imperial court. His father and brother-in-law are both officials. If he is willing to help, it will be easy for him to come back.
Thinking of this, he actually bowed deeply to Ding Yunyi: "It turns out to be the world-famous Ding Zongzhen. It's so glorious that Qianyi can actually see Ding Zongzhen in Nanjing. When I get back, I have to publicize it."
These words not only made Ding Yunyi feel cold all over, but even Zhang Pu couldn't help but frown.
Although Qian Qianyi has no official position now, he was once the leader of the Donglin Party and a great scholar. How could he be so groveling?
Qian Qianyi didn't feel anything at all: "I wonder if Mr. Ximing and Mr. Ding have arranged the flower boat?"
Seeing Zhang Pu nodded, Qian Qianyi said: "Tianru, I came a little late, and I couldn't find the flower boat. I want to be shameless today, so how about I come on your boat?"
Zhang Pu was surprised. He heard that Qian Qianyi came to Nanjing a few months ago. Why hasn't the flower boat been found yet? After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he had heard of Ding Yunyi's name and wanted to use this to get closer.
Ding Yunyi.
He had a good relationship with Qian Qianyi before. Firstly, because Qian Qianyi was the leader of the Donglin Party, and secondly, because he lost his official position because of his fight with Wen Tiren, Zhang Pu could not help but feel that they shared the same enemy. He never thought that Qian Qianyi
Yi Ze has this kind of character, and I can't help but look down on him a little bit in my heart.
But since the other party has made this request, Zhang Pu can't refuse.
Upon hearing Zhang Pu's promise, Qian Qianyi was elated. His dignified former leader of the Donglin Party, a great Confucian from Jiangnan, actually led the way, like a servant.
Ding Yunyi and Zhang Pu looked at each other with sarcasm in their eyes.
Qian Qianyi, however, was in high spirits. He got on the flower boat and flattered Ding Yunyi over and over again. He tried his best to talk about how brave Ding Yunyi was and how he gained the trust of the emperor. He also said that without Ding Yunyi, half of the Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed.
"Yes, yes, what Mr. Mu Zhai said is exaggerated." Ding Yunyi said quickly: "I am just a nobody. Fortunately, I am appreciated by the Holy One and supported by the three armies. I only succeed occasionally. I cannot deserve such praise from you sir."
"It's worth it, it's worth it." Qian Qianyi was completely unaware of what Ding Yunyi said: "Not to mention Mr. Ding's great martial arts in guarding the sea area, let's talk about capturing Gao Yingxiang alive, fighting Zhang Xianzhong, and defeating Li Zicheng. How can he achieve such great achievements?
I will never be a second person again."
Ding Yunyi felt like vomiting. He had heard too many flattery words, but why did he feel so disgusting when he said them in Qian Qianyi's mouth.
"Mr. Ximing, Mr. Mu Zhai, I don't want to meet you two gentlemen here. Ding Zi has met you two."
At this time, a flower boat came over, and at the bow stood a young Confucian scholar in his twenties, bowing and saying.
"It turns out it's Xiaosheng, Xinghui, Xinghui." Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi said at the same time.
Qian Qianyi was afraid that Ding Yunyi would not know who this person was, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Ding, this person is Gong Dingzi, a native of Hefei, Anhui. He has been a Jinshi for seven years and is very talented."
Gong Dingzi? Good, very good. Ding Yunyi smiled bitterly in his heart.
What is today? A meeting of oirans? Or is it a traitor? First came Qian Qianyi, and then came Gong Dingzi.
Gong Ding was born after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and he said, "When you come, you will be defeated, and when you are full, you will be full." His moral integrity has been reduced to the extreme. He is romantic and debauched, regardless of gender. When his father died and went to the funeral, he was especially dissolute and caroused every night.
Gong Dingzi's grandfather and father were both well-known for their literary reputation. He was a precocious young man and could write eight-legged essays when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He was also good at poetry and ancient prose.
Li Zicheng captured Beijing. He surrendered, was given the direct command, and inspected the north city. In the first year of Shunzhi in the Manchu Dynasty, Dorgon came to Beijing, and Gong Dingzai welcomed the surrender. He was appointed an official to Shizhong, moved to Taichang Temple, Shaoqing, and became the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
The envoy of the capital, etc.
Gong Dingzi was despised not only by the people of the Ming Dynasty but also by the people of the Qing Dynasty because of his lack of moral integrity.
When King Fu of the Ming Dynasty established his power in Nanjing, he established a system for investigating and punishing "thieves", and Gong Dingzi was included in the list of criminals.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties also ridiculed him as "a sinner of the Ming Dynasty and a traitor to the imperial censor". Dorgon even thought that Gong Dingzi "should just sit down and sit quietly, why talk about others" and "if a person is loyal and loyal, he can be punished."
people".
It is shameless to ridicule him for "comparing himself to Wei Zheng and comparing Li Zei to Tang Taizong".
Today is really good. The two traitors Qian Qianyi and Gong Dingzi came here for a "meeting". What other shameless traitors will we see soon?
Ding Yunyi sneered disdainfully in Gong Dingzi's direction, slightly raised his hand, and reluctantly said hello to him.
