Chapter 253 The Prince Arrives
When the Dashun Army captured Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, most of the southern states and counties were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the Chongzhen Dynasty has collapsed, it is imminent to re-establish the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing and continue Guozuo.

Over the past dynasties, supporting the new emperor's ascension to the throne has always been a matter of grabbing major political benefits.

At this time, whoever can take the lead in supporting the new emperor will have absolute power in the Nanjing court.

Although there were various reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, not one person or one force could bear all the blame, but the responsibility of the Donglin Party must not escape.

Starting from the interests of itself and the party, the Donglin Party must take the initiative in policy-making in order to safeguard its own interests.

If the eunuchs and other parties are allowed to support the new emperor, their faults will definitely be liquidated and they will be held responsible for the demise of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

When the Eunuch Party was in power, the court did not collapse, but in your hands, the court collapsed. In short, the reason is arbitrary.

As the main force of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party had a deep understanding of the cruelty of the party struggle. There were several big bosses who were killed by the eunuch party at the beginning.

Now that they have finally seized the right to speak in the ruling and opposition parties, it is natural that they are always tightening the string of party struggles to prevent being beaten down by other parties.

Because of this, when someone proposed Fufan, all the people strongly opposed it without even thinking about it.

At this time, Zhang Shenyan, the censor of the right capital, looked at Qian Qianyi, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Muzhai, you are very passive!"

Everyone in the hall didn't look very good-looking. This time, the Donglin Party was really passive.

This problem is because of an old case decades ago.At that time, Emperor Shenzong wanted to establish Lao Fuwang, but the Donglin party members tried their best to stop him, and finally forced Lao Fuwang to become a vassal.

With this kind of grievance, how could the Donglin Party members establish King Fu?If King Fu came to the throne, revisited the old case, and vented his anger for the old King Fu, wouldn't the Donglin Party lose political power.

If it's just this point, then it's easy to solve, just support others, but the key reason why the Donglin Party opposed the establishment of the old Fuwang at the beginning is the best reason for Fufan to ascend the throne now.

It was embarrassing and passive.

The Donglin Party opposed the establishment of the old King Fu at the beginning, and what they defended was the feudal concept of rotation and the etiquette of the order of seniority. Now that the blood of King Fu is close, and he is in Huai'an, it is obviously the most suitable. They want to overthrow the previous statement, which is tantamount to It's a self-slap in the face, very shameless.

We are all cultural people, and we have to be shameless, so we can't suddenly overturn their previous statement.

There was a silence in the hall, and after a while Qian Qianyi broke the silence with deep groans, "From a jurisprudential point of view, Fufan and Guifan are the most suitable to inherit the Datong, but Guifan is far away in Lingnan, so there is not enough time. Fufan is the brother of Emperor Daxing , the pedigree is suitable, and the person is in Huai'an, he was the best candidate, but~~~"

When everyone heard "but", they couldn't help but look at Qian Qianyi, depending on what the party leader said.

Qian Qianyi glanced at everyone, "I heard that Fufan was stubborn since childhood, greedy for sex, mean and ungrateful, and cruel. I'm afraid he is not a wise monarch. The current state is in turmoil and crises. It is a special period, and special measures should be taken." I think that on the issue of the new emperor's policy, we, as the pillars of the country, should not stick to the rules, but should take responsibility, fight hard according to reason, and choose a virtuous monarch for the country."

Zhang Shenyan, the imperial censor of the right capital, frowned after hearing this, "Brother Muzhai, what do you mean to establish the virtuous but not the superior?"

Qian Qianyi nodded, "That's right. I heard that Lu Fan was smart and studious since he was a child. If he is allowed to ascend the throne, he must be a wise lord. Besides, Lu Fan has no chance to ascend to the throne. I will help him ascend the throne." , Lu Fan will definitely reciprocate, and I, Donglin Party members, can continue to work for the court and the people!"

The eyes of everyone in the hall could not help but light up, they were already a little tempted, Lu Fan has no foundation, and if he ascends to a high position, he will definitely not be able to become a strong monarch, and the government will naturally be controlled by our Donglin.

The people present have never even met King Fu and King Lu, so they all talked tacitly. "Well, Lu Wang is wise."

"Brother Mu Zhai is right!" Zhang Shenyan still had some doubts, "It's just that the elders and the younger are orderly, and the elders are not established for the virtuous. This was something we desperately defended at the beginning, and it is also something our party members are proud of. Now it is suddenly reversed. To say that the virtuous but not the superior will make the world ridicule!"

"Brother Miaoshan!" Qian Qianyi put a straight face on his face, and said earnestly, "The current state is in turmoil, we Donglin should take responsibility and choose a wise monarch. Don't you consider it for the community?"

The leader of the party is the leader of the party!It was obviously for Donglin's benefit, but when he said it, it seemed like he was going to be martyred.

Now preventing King Fu from ascending the throne has become a consideration for the world, and in front of the world and Jiangshan Sheji, what is it to slap yourself in the face?Swelling is okay.

Everyone sighed in admiration, and Lin Shi said to him, "Mr. is right. Now the situation is turbulent, and the country needs a wise king. For the sake of the country, what's the point of infamy?"

"What you said is reasonable, but people in the world may not understand our good intentions. The students think that we need to lobby separately." Huang Zongyi suggested.

Qian Qianyi nodded, "Then let's split up. I'll lobby Shi Gong. He is the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, and he is the head of the southeast officialdom. As long as you talk to him, the big deal will be half done. You will go to lobby Nanjing officials separately. , persuade them to support King Lu~"

After the discussion, everyone dispersed, and the lobbying of the Donglin party members was nothing more than rumors to benefit the king, and then flatter King Lu.

The Donglin Party has a large number of members and holds the power of discourse in the government and the public. In a few days, there are countless messages unfavorable to King Fu in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

King Fu, who was in Huai'an, had nothing to do, and misfortune fell from the sky, so he could only ask for help from his generals.

In fact, in history, Chongzhen and the prince did not go south, and King Fu inherited the rule, which is also in line with etiquette and rules.

The dispute over the order of the Southern Ming Dynasty was mainly provoked by the Donglin Party members. They destroyed what they had once maintained, picked an irrelevant Lu Fan, and made a very bad head.

From the perspective of dynasty stability, there is actually a certain reason for the order of the elders and the younger, and not for the elders.

Because in this way, there is a standard. According to the order of blood lineage, Li Chu is easy to choose, and there will be no too fierce competition for the position. But if Li Xian, then there is no fixed standard. It can be said that he is "virtuous", and all clan relatives have the opportunity, then it will be messed up.

The early Donglin Party members were the defenders of etiquette and law, but the current Donglin Party members, starting from narrow self-interest, overthrew the original rhetoric and strongly opposed the Fufan, so that the Fufan could only ask for help from the Fanzhen, and finally caused the Fanzhen to become a vassal. Don't listen to the central government's situation.

After Fufan ascended the throne with the help of Waizhen, this time should have been united and united to the outside world, but the Donglin Party created the "Great Sad Case", "Tong Concubine Case" and "Fake Prince" three cases to shake Hongguang's rule , denied his legitimacy, and finally instigated Zuo Liangyu to rebel, and together with Zuo Liangyu brought down the Nanming court, and then surrendered to the Manchu Qing.

The kung fu of making wedding dresses for foreigners is no less than that of Li Zicheng.

As the saying goes, there is nothing greater than the savior, support, and follow the dragon.

Now the Lord is hopeless, and the support and contribution of Conglong are not only the Donglin party members who want to fight, but the border towns and governors in Jiangbei also want to grab political benefits through support.

Under the premise that Chongzhen hanged himself and there was no news from the crown prince and other princes, Zhu Yousong, the King of Fu, became a rare treasure.

Due to the location, Ma Shiying and others are close to Huai'an, and they have already met King Fu and expressed their support.

This was a matter of course. Supporting King Fu's ascension to the throne is in line with the etiquette, and by the way, he can also take the credit into his hands. I don't want Nanjing to support an irrelevant King Lu. The excuse is that King Lu is more wise.

In Fengyang Mansion and Governor's Yamen, Ma Shiying read the documents sent by Nanjing with a gloomy expression.

"Brother Haiyuan, Shi Shang said in the letter that King Fu is the grandson of Shenzong, and should be established as a king according to his seniority and ranking, but he has seven major shortcomings, greed, prostitution, alcoholism, unfilialism, abuse of subordinates, not studying, interfering with officials Lu Wang Zhu Changhao is Shenzong's nephew, he is virtuous and intelligent, he should be made king. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help sneering, "Donglin party members, this is completely shameless. At the beginning, the leaders were established but not the virtuous, and now it's the other way around. They are justified no matter what. How about King Fu? We see Although he is not a master of great talent and general plan, he is not as unbearable as Dong Lin said. Nowadays, if the King of Fortune is not established in accordance with the order of ethics, who can not be established? If Zuo Liangyu establishes a feudal domain, Zheng Zhilong will establish another A feudal clan, each coercing the emperor to command the feudal lords, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Ruan Dacheng bowed his hands to Ma Shiying, "Brother Yaocao, at present we must set up Fufan in accordance with the order of ethics. The Donglin party members are like this, and it is also a good thing for us. Brother Yaocao can show the letter to King Fu for a look, and then support King Fu as the king. The enemy, so we can put things right and take power in Nanjing."

Ma Shiying was a little moved, but he still hesitated, "The Donglin party members are very powerful. In addition to Shi Gong, Zhang Shenyan, the censor of the right capital, Gao Hongtu, the governor of Jiangxi, Lu Daqi, the governor of Jiangxi, Jiang Yueguang, the chief minister, and others have all listened to Qian. Mu Zhai's lobbying must support Lu, we are alone and alone!"

But Ruan Dacheng said: "Brother Yaocao, you have more than one hundred thousand soldiers, are you afraid that the Donglin Party members will talk twice?"

Ma Shiying's face was serious, "It's just that the two mouths are tight. If I go with troops, the first is the general who is already difficult to control. With the merits of supporting him, he will definitely not listen to orders in the future. The second is Donglin. Partisans must give this governor a big hat and label him a traitor."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying sighed slightly, "If Your Majesty and the Crown Prince go south, there will be so many things."

While he was talking, he rushed in in a hurry and said incoherently: "President~Governor, the crown prince has arrived in Haizhou."

"Prince, why did you come to Haizhou?" Ruan Dacheng couldn't help asking anxiously.

"The crown prince and Princess Kunxing came from the sea. Shandong Gaofutai has sent troops south."

Ma Shiying got up and reached out to grab the official hat on the table, "Let's go to Haizhou quickly."

Ruan Dacheng hurriedly followed, and hurriedly asked behind him: "Governor, do you want to pass the news to Nanjing to stabilize Jiangyou's heart?"

"No! Block the news, don't report it for now." Ruan Dacheng turned around and said for Ma Shiying.

How can the merits of decision-making and support be distributed to others...
