Chapter 15 indecisive

"The students invited the two of you here because they want to ask for advice: I have already heard about the 'seven incomprehensible' announcements. However, during the discussion a few days ago, I didn't hear this statement, and I don't know where it is based. Is it true?" Shi Kefa said these words at the same moment when Zheng Yuanxun said goodbye to his friends.Lu Daqi received a summons from Shi Kefa at home, but because he could not inform Qian Qianyi, he had to take Lei Zuo to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and met his master in the signing office. "This is what my brother sent people to investigate recently, and it is definitely not empty talk!" Lu Daqi clasped his hands and replied without hesitation.This little minister has a tough nature, unless he has not made up his mind, he will never hesitate to look back.In fact, in order to avoid wasting time on moral disputes, Lu Daqi even decided to keep the truth of the matter to a minimum.Except for the three people who participated in the pre-planning at the beginning, the rest will not be disclosed.Therefore, his answer to Shi Kefa just now was actually a gimmick, that is, he deliberately avoided the inquiry of whether it was "all true", and used the rather vague and general wording of "absolutely not empty words". Obviously intending to leave room for maneuver in the future.However, Shi Kefa is a very astute person, it is not easy to fool him.Therefore, Lei Zuo, who was sitting next to him, listened and stared at the master intently, for fear that the other party would hear the flaws in that sentence.

"Well, I would like to hear the details!" Shi Kefa asked calmly. Lu Daqi stroked his beard, collected himself, and began to speak in detail.He first talked about King Fu's "unfilial piety", and then he talked about "greed"-this was also discussed with Lei Zuo in advance.Because Fu Wang lost his mother when he was fleeing, and the two incidents of stealing old Fu Wang's treasures in the past, although the truth is not quite clear, but as long as there is something true, the other party can't deny it.As for the reason, it can be fabricated and played.Right now, Lu Daqi is using this method to highlight a few facts with relatively obvious basis, describe and exaggerate them in detail, and briefly describe the rest.When explaining the cause and process of the incident, he tried his best to extend it to the bad side, so that he came to the conclusion that King Fu's character was stubborn and his behavior was perverted, so he was really not suitable to be regarded as a monarch.Lu Daqi was not particularly good at eloquence, but his demeanor was resolute, his speech was sharp and fierce, and he was decisive. He had a hidden force that could not be doubted, which made people hear him more convincing than that kind of rhetoric.

High, eloquent voices hummed from the walls.Finally, Lu Daqi finished listing the grounds for the "seven inconsistencies", and the signing room returned to silence.Shi Kefa only caressed about stroking his beard, and didn't express his attitude for a long time. Lei Zuo began to feel uneasy beside him.In fact, Shi Kefa has always been a little hesitant about the choice of establishing "Fu" or "Lu".They know this level.They conspired to create the theory of "seven inconsistencies", which was mainly to deal with the "Fu" faction, but it was not without the intention of trying to force Shi Kefa to make an early decision.Now seeing that the other party is still hesitant, Lei Zuo is a little impatient.He exchanged glances with Lu Daqi, then turned to his master, leaning forward slightly, intending to test him.Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, Shi Kefa stood up and left his seat, and walked into the inner room without a word.After a while, he came back again, handed a stack of letters to Lu and Lei, and said:

"This is also received by the students, you may wish to take a look." Lei Zuo was a little puzzled.He hesitantly took it, opened it, and exchanged letters with Lu Daqi one by one.Only now did he realize that these letters were all written by officials and gentry from Nanjing and some other prefectures and counties.Some are signed by several or even dozens of people.Among them, there are many non-Donglin faction people, but there are also quite a few officials from the Donglin faction. Even Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huainan, and Zhang Zhengchen, the official secretary, all advocated for King Fu in their letters. It is believed that the theory of "seven things that cannot be established" is profound and thorough, and it is not credible.Many letters even denounced those who spread rumors as having ulterior motives and interfering with discipline and politics.Lei Zuo was a little guilty at first, but when he watched, he couldn't help but blushed, became short of breath, and even his hands trembled slightly.

"Then, my lord's intention..." It seemed that Lu Daqi was more calm.He put down the letter, looked at the master and asked. Shi Kefa didn't answer right away, he stood up, walked back and forth for a while with his hands behind his back, finally stopped beside the chair, grabbed the back of the chair with one hand, raised his head, and said with excitement: "Kefa, as a minister, received the kindness of the late emperor, and misunderstood the entrustment of my own soldiers. When the capital was in danger, it failed to pour out the troops from the south of the Yangtze River, and went north to serve the king, so there was a change on March 19th. The crime of wronging the country is ten thousand. Death is hard to redeem! Therefore, Ji Chi has never cited his own decision early to thank the world. In fact, Jiangnan is the life and death of the country, but the new king has not been established, and the overall situation is uncertain, so he has to endure death for a while, and wants to conspire with the public... ..."

After saying these few words, for a while, Shi Kefa's feelings seemed to be so agitated that his voice choked up.He had to pause, trying to control himself, before going on: "Since ancient times, a country has been in peril, and the ruler must be virtuous, and Zhongxing is only hopeful. Today, if the king of fortune is cowardly and does not learn, that is, there is no such thing as 'seven things that cannot be established', and it is not an appropriate choice. If you don't pay attention to the times, you will be in vain. The theory of kinship and estrangement is completely missing the grand purpose of the country. The law of the family is to the country as hair is to the skin. If the skin does not exist, how can the hair be attached? Therefore, the law is willing to wait for death, and the three The Five Gentlemen will preside over it. We must wait for a virtuous ruler to be established and the south of the Yangtze River to be settled, and then ask ourselves to lead the Northern Expedition, vowing to destroy the mad bandits, so as to avenge the previous emperor. Although the law is smashed to pieces, it is what you want!"

Lu Daqi and Lei Zuo listened nervously from beginning to end.They naturally knew that despite their great efforts, it was still up to the supreme military officer in front of them to decide how to make decisions.Therefore, when Shi Kefa made it clear that he would rule out Fu Wang's choice, they all breathed a sigh of relief and became very excited.However, they are all people who are old in the officialdom, and although they are happy in their hearts, they don't show any emotion on their faces.Especially when they saw Shi Kefa's expression of grief, indignation and sternness at the moment, with tears clearly flashing in his eyes, in order to show their respect to their superiors, they all put on heavy expressions together.After a while, Lei Zuo raised his head and carefully reminded:

"My lord's decision to establish a virtuous man is the blessing of the country and the fortune of the people. Even if there are those who hold it, there is nothing to worry about. Only those general soldiers who hold the military power, how to caress them with good laws and make them support them with one heart, But it has to be carefully considered.” Shi Kefa nodded: "Mr. is worried about this, and the students have also thought about coming. At present, Zuo Liangyu of Wuchang, the general of the towns in the south of the Yangtze River, has a deep relationship with my generation, so there is no doubt about his second opinion; Zheng Zhilong is far away in Zhejiang and Fujian, so there is nothing to worry about. Now Those who need attention are the four towns in the north of the Yangtze River. Among them, Liu Zeqing entrusted someone a few days ago to say, I hope that I will obey the orders of the gentlemen in the capital. Then there are three towns of Gao, Liu, and Huang. Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo are all under the orders of Ma Duyao Grass; as long as Ma Yaocao does not hold objections, the two towns will be safe. In the end, Gaojie is left in one town. He indulges his desires and rebelliousness, and it is expected that he will be alone. If he caresses him with kind words, he will not dare to disagree."

After such an analysis, he paused, and added: "Besides, those who supported me in the past were only because of the lack of order in Lu Fan. Now that the Gui Fan is established, it can also slightly suppress the mouth of others!" Lei Zuo just nodded while listening at first, and didn't pay special attention to the last sentence.However, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked: "Ah, your lord is saying, is it changing to set up Gui Fan?" "Well, the former established 'Fu' and established 'Lu'. The dispute was too fierce, and the two sides were already in conflict. If 'Lu' was established suddenly, those who hold 'Fu' would be terrified and hard to be at ease. There are countless people in this generation. How can we help each other if we can't resolve the dangers and doubts? If we can't help each other, how can ZTE's career be prosperous? Therefore, "Fu" is definitely not suitable to be established, but "Lu" is also not suitable to be established. Today, Guifan has always had a virtuous voice , and the moral order is closer to Lu Fan, and there is no suspicion of love or hatred between the two factions in the past, so it is the most appropriate to establish it!"

Shi Kefa still analyzed calmly, but Lei Zuo was stunned.To be honest, they tried their best to reject King Fu a while ago, just to support King Lu as soon as possible.Now it's been a long time, but it's back to King Gui.Well, it looks like things are still going to have to drag on.In a situation where the opposition between the two factions has reached such a sharp and intense situation, this is really very dangerous.Therefore, Lei Zuo felt anxious and couldn't help arguing: "It's inevitable that there will be many dreams in the long night. It seems inappropriate to look far away instead of near. Besides, Lu Fan is worthy to be established. This discussion has been rumored for a long time. Once the Gui Fan is changed, I am afraid that I will lose the hope of gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Shi Kefa gave him a sharp look, and said lightly: "Students also know that it is inevitable that some people will be disappointed. But as a minister, if you seek to do things for the country, you must ultimately take the interests of the overall situation into consideration. If you cause resentment and hatred, you may The only way to deal with it is with one body!" "Old Dao!" Maybe he found Shi Kefa's tone too harsh, Lu Daqi coldly took it up, "The intention of referring to the old man is that he is sincerely afraid that the establishment of Gui Fan may not be enough to block the mouths of those who support 'blessing', but rather The "Lu" supporters were disappointed and kept silent. If there is a situation of "the pole is not tied, and the two ends collapse", it will be even more difficult to deal with!" "Then, according to Young Master Sima's opinion?" "How dare you specialize in a lowly job, and ask Da Sima Zhuo to judge!" The two people who have a close relationship on weekdays are actually commensurate with each other's official positions. Needless to say, they are a little angry with each other.Shi Kefa obviously realized this.He squinted his eyes, staring silently at the deputy who pursed his lips and turned his head angrily.After a while, he finally lowered his eyelids and said in a slightly conciliatory tone: "My brother has reconsidered again and again. It is better to change the establishment of the Gui Fan. As for the Lu Fan, he can be entrusted with the post of 'Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses' and let him command the three armies-however, these two things are now It's not just decided like that, we have to wait until my younger brother has met Ma Yaocao and discuss with him!"
