After hearing this, Ma Shiying looked at Wu Zheng. Seeing that Wu Zheng looked calm, he did not intend to humiliate him, so he did not be as angry as before, but replied calmly: "This year, Shiying has traveled to the mountains and villages in Zhejiang. I have heard something even worse. If Hou Jinghai is willing to listen, Shiying can repeat it one by one to enjoy the fun of Hou Master."

Wu Zheng smiled, but no smile at all, and shook his hand and said, "No need, Wu is not interested in listening."

Ma Shiying suddenly said, "What does Master Hou want to hear? As long as Shiying knows, he will know everything and say everything."

Seeing Ma Shiying Ting on the road, Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are Hongguang Chaofu, you must know the real reason for the demise of Hongguang Chao. You will not forget the past and the next thing. You might as well tell me."

Ma Shiying was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that what Wu Zheng wanted to know was these. Shouldn't he ask more important things? For example, his whereabouts in the past two years, etc.

"Mr. Hou wants to hear it, Shiying will talk about it, but I just ask Mr. Hou to wait a moment and let Shiying think about where to start."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "If you are not busy, think slowly, just talk slowly."

Ma Shiying pondered for a while and looked up and said, "Actually, I said this result has been buried since the time of supporting King Fu. Does Master Hou believe me?"

Wu Zheng said "hmm" and said without comment: "Continue talking."

"The late emperor died, and Nanjing proposed to establish a new king. I proposed to support King Fu... Hou Ye was clear about it, according to the royal bloodline, the eldest legitimate and the relatives, and the rule of the ancestors and the common people. King Fu Zhu Yousong is the only one who is the only one to choose."

Wu Zheng said "hmm" again: "Continue talking."

"But Qian Qianyi's Donglin Party members insisted on supporting Lu Wang Zhu Changqing, saying that they would not be the eldest legitimate, but would be the wise. But as we all know, the father of Fu Wang Lao Wang Wang, the eldest king of Hui Wang Zhu Changrun, and the King of Gui Zhu Changying, and the eldest son of Fu Wang, and the eldest son of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was the same generation as Emperor Chongzhen, and he was the cousin of Chongzhen. Therefore, whether it is in terms of age or the elder brother and precedent of Emperor Jiajing's succession, King Fu was obviously better than Hui and the two kings of Gui. As for Lu Wang Zhu Changqing, not only had a blood relationship, but also had a greater generation than Emperor Chongzhen, and it was unlikely that he would be his turn."

"I believe that Mr. Hou had also heard of the great rituals and discussions in the Wanli Dynasty. What the Donglin Party members were fighting for was the closeness and the eldest legitimate rule. According to their theory, King Fu Zhu Yousong was the only one who chose them. But when they supported King Fu, the Donglin Party members kept silent about their previous set of rules and regulations that were regarded as the law of all ages, but began to talk about the establishment of wise men."

"In fact, the deep meaning is nothing more than worrying about the establishment of King Fu, or chasing the evil book, upsetting the palace, and moving the palace. However, King Lu had no such trouble. With the discussions, the Shige Department asked me to meet and discuss the matter of supporting the army. He claimed that supporting the Lu was a matter of rising up, and also agreed with my suggestion of supporting the king Fu, but also suggested that for the sake of the court, a compromise method was chosen, that is, not to establish King Fu or Lu, but to establish King Gui."

"After hearing this, the Donglin Party members no longer objected. As long as they did not succeed to King Fu, no matter who they chose, they would not have any objection. So as soon as they received the proposal from the Shige Department, the Ministry of Rites immediately prepared various ceremonial wars and planned to go out to Guangxi to take King Gui to Nanjing to succeed to the throne."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying smiled proudly, "But they forgot who I am? I just used a delayed military strategy. I secretly contacted Han Zanzhou, Liu Kongzhao, and the generals of the four towns Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, etc., and led a 50,000 army to Fengyang to support the legitimate king, and then supported the Fu King straight to Yizhen. At that time, the Shige tribe could only accept the facts, so I took the Shige tribe there and went to Nanjing, and I led the army to station it to shock Nanjing."

Wu Zheng secretly praised in his heart that Ma Shiying's move was indeed brilliant. He built a plank road and crossed Chen Cang secretly. The key was to use Shi Kefa to conceal the Donglin Party members.

However, Wu Zheng also felt sorry for the great men of Shige's generation, but his character was not as decisive as Ma Shiying, and he was too indecisive.

In fact, as Ma Shiying said, Shi Kefa is very clear about the right and wrong.

No matter where he decided the candidate, King Fu should choose, but in order to take into account the Donglin Party, he concocted a "Gui" plan to support the two people, so as not to offend them.

But this plan to embrace "Gui" is ridiculous. It is not in line with the rules of ethics. Emperor Chongzhen's cousin did not establish him, but he went to establish Emperor Chongzhen's uncle. Although they were all born by Emperor Wanli, in this way, where did the Chongzhen emperors be appointed? Where did the Chongzhen emperors be appointed? Where did the Fu King be promoted or killed? Therefore, their essence is not much different from "Encouraging Lu".

Second, it is extremely lacking in operability, which is worse than "Encouraging Lu". Lu King Zhu Changqing, at least like King Fu, is close to Huai'an and can reach Nanjing in a few days. However, King Gui is far away in Guangxi, thousands of miles away, and it is always necessary to go back and forth for several months. At that time, I am afraid that before the King Gui arrives in Nanjing, the Dashun army or the Qing army will already be at the city.

In this matter, from Shi Kefa's insights and political means, it was extremely disproportionate. He realized the essence of the matter, but he was indecisive and worried, and did not have the determination and courage of an outstanding politician. He did not dare to cut the chaos and stabilize the situation quickly, and later he had to go out of the capital to avoid disaster, and he lost the great opportunity to reorganize the court. When it comes to the establishment of a monarch, he did not have the courage to speak up for justice when encountering resistance and opposition, and only wanted not to offend all forces. This was a little different from his teacher Zuo Guangdou.

In fact, there have been such support in all dynasties. If you are decisive in this kind of thing, you will stand up, and if you do not stand up, you will not stand up.

Where is there any compromise?

This is even more ridiculous than Wu Zheng deposed the king of Lu and supported Princess Changping.

Because Wu Zheng only supported the governor of the country, although he was also a king, after all, the word "一" was added to the front.

The reincarnation of a country is a king to a minister, but to an emperor, he is still a minister.

Deposing a minister is not considered a rebellion in the end. This is also the key reason why a righteous minister like Qian Sule did not object to Wu Zheng's "rebellion" in the end.

It was too ridiculous that Keshi and Kefa supported the emperor so much. The emperor was actually chosen by the powerful ministers from these places.

Although this is the essence of the world, some things can be done but cannot be said.

Especially Shi Kefa was the most powerful minister in the Southern Ming Dynasty at that time. At this time, he decided to designate one person, so he could avoid the dispute over support. Perhaps the party struggle would not have been so rapid.

At this time, Ma Shiying continued: "I did win this support, but I also know that this matter was not over so quickly. King Fu's ascension to the throne was just the beginning of the party struggle. And the most dangerous thing among them was not the party struggle, but King Fu and Emperor Hongguang himself."
