Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan
Chapter 10 The shit stirrer
Ruan Dacheng, 1586-1646, named Yuanhai, Shichao, Baizishanqiao in the collection of calligraphy, was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and successively attached to the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian, and was dismissed from office in the Chongzhen Dynasty for treason.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, served in the Southern Ming Dynasty as a middle official, minister of the Ministry of War, right deputy censor of the capital, and a bachelor of Dongge. He took great revenge on the Donglin Party and Fushe. After the fall of Nanjing, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
Ruan Dacheng now lives at home leisurely, reciting poems and writing poems with a group of friends all day long, playing games, and living a carefree life.
Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that this was just an appearance. Ruan Dacheng was very ambitious and thought about making a comeback all the time, but he was not favored by Emperor Chongzhen and had no chance. Now, Emperor Chongzhen has become Zhu Youjian, and Ruan Dacheng's spring has come.
The use of Ruan Dacheng was one of Zhu Youjian's bad moves against the Donglin Party. Ruan Dacheng's reputation among scholars may not be as good as Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party bosses, but he still has a good reputation and influence, and there are many people around him. As a friend and supporter of the Communist Party of China, there is nothing better than using him as a troublemaker for the disgusting Donglin Party.
"Wang Daban, you will personally escort Ruan Dacheng out of the palace later, and then..." Zhu Youjian rubbed his fingers with a smirk on his face.
Ruan Dacheng is a rich man, so if you don't rip him off, it would be a shame for him, hehe.
"Well..." Wang Chengen nodded helplessly. The emperor is crazy about money. He even dares to blackmail the ministers? It's unbecoming.
But having said that, it is really hard for the emperor. He is so poor that he has to sell the palace collections to make a living, alas.
Ruan Mansion, the inner house is brightly lit.
Ruan Dacheng, who had nothing to do, was holding a wine glass in one hand and squinting his eyes, comfortably enjoying the meticulous service of several concubines.
"Old... Master, Eunuch Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch Wang Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is here... here..." The steward ran in and reported.
"What?" Ruan Dacheng was stunned. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and broke into more than a dozen pieces.
"Eunuch Wang Cheng'en is here?" He was stunned for a long time before reacting, and his old face turned red with excitement.
The eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremonies, Bingbi, was a popular man who had been serving the emperor. Suddenly he arrived in the middle of the night. There must be something important happening. This also meant that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally came.
"Eunuch Wang, thank you for your hard work in the middle of the night." Ruan Dacheng stood up and went out to greet him. He held Wang Chengen's hand warmly.
"Our family dare not disobey the sacred mandate." Wang Chengen replied with a smile, and calmly put the ingot in his hand into his sleeve pocket.
Judging from the feel, it weighed twelvefold, and his shots were so generous. No wonder the emperor said he was a rich man.
"Quickly, follow our family into the palace."
"Okay, please wait a moment, Your Majesty." Ruan Dacheng said excitedly. He was wearing white home clothes. When entering the palace to meet the saint, he naturally had to change his clothes before entering the palace to meet the saint.
Under the guidance of Wang Chengen, Ruan Dacheng entered the palace very low-key to meet the emperor. The emperor not only treated him with courtesy, but also gave him a seat, which made him feel flattered.
However, what made him depressed was that the emperor actually started to talk to him about daily life, and all the inquiries were about trivial matters of daily life. He didn't mention a word about political affairs, and didn't even reveal the slightest intention to use him.
Then, the emperor said that it was getting late and it was time to rest, and asked Wang Chengen to escort him out of the palace and go home.
"Eunuch Wang, what... is going on?" Ruan Dacheng was tortured to the point of death. He couldn't bear it anymore and had to ask for advice.
Of course, he stuffed another ten-ounce gold ingot to the prince and asked for advice, which cost money.
"Your Majesty, it's so difficult..." Eunuch Wang Chengen groaned for a long time before he uttered these words.
"Eunuch Wang, Your Majesty..." Ruan Dacheng asked in a low voice. He knew that Wang Chengen's next words must be a major event, so he hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
"Alas, the emperor wants to form a new army, but he still lacks about two million in military expenses..." Wang Chengen sighed before revealing the reason for the emperor's difficulty.
He said this according to the emperor's instructions, and he even tried hard to squeeze out the frowning look on his old face.
When it comes to acting, of course you have to do a complete set. Any old official who has been in the officialdom for many years is at the level of an actor.
"Ah..." Ruan Dacheng was confused. Why did the prince get involved in forming a new army?
His heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to understand what Wang Chengen meant. It was only two million in military expenses, but it was really a bit fatal.
No matter how rich he is, it doesn't come from strong winds.
"The Emperor knows that the Donglin Party is powerful and wants to find a loyal and respected minister to compete with it..."
