In the late Ming Dynasty.

There is a group of people criticizing current affairs, criticizing the court, opposing the eunuch party, claiming to be clear and boasting that "taking the world as their responsibility."

Gradually, these people formed a fixed interest group.

Over time, this interest group has become larger and larger, and has even become a politically indispensable "interest group".

This is the famous Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty!

The Donglin Party was a group formed by a bureaucratic class dominated by the literati and officials in the south of the Yangtze River. It was not until the Ming Dynasty was captured by Li Moucheng and finally the Qing Dynasty completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty. It took nearly forty years.

In the early days of the Donglin small group, social conflicts were becoming increasingly intensified in the late Ming Dynasty.

People in Donglin satirize the government and comment on officials. They demand integrity and commitment to public service, revitalize the administration, open up the way of speech, eliminate the accumulated corruption of the court and the country, and oppose the corruption of the powerful and indulging in the law and abuse of the law.

These proposals of criticizing current affairs were widely sympathized and supported by the Ming Dynasty and the people at that time. At the same time, they were also fiercely opposed by eunuchs and their dependent forces.

Due to political differences, the two developed and evolved to a fierce situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Donglin Party is a general term for the opposition groups such as eunuchs to teach Donglin Academy and those who have related to it or support sympathetic lectures.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this interest group was already profitable!

So people began to get in and take advantage of the situation. Those who dare to speculate are often smart people. They do whatever they can attract attention and increase their reputation!

If you dare to criticize current problems, I will dare to criticize the ministers!

If you dare to impeach the cabinet, I dare to write a letter to scold the emperor! In addition, some shameless villains were surprised to find that writing poems and lyrics can also make fans?

Then stay in the door and write poems and lyrics every day!

In short, one sentence: it is to quickly improve your reputation and become a high-pressed scholar as soon as possible. Then you can gain power and then start to reap benefits!

This is the "routine" of these Donglin scholars who claim to be Qingliu.

Qian Qianyi is the representative of this kind of opportunistic villain. He alone portrayed the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty to the fullest!

Qian Qianyi was already a little famous and was punished for opposing the eunuch party. This made him extremely famous at that time and naturally became one of the leaders of Donglin.

After becoming a leader and standing at the peak of power, Qian Qianyi also successfully attracted a brothel woman who is quite famous among celebrities and scholars.

——Liu Rushi!

Liu Rushi was smart and studious when he was young, but because his family was poor and difficult to raise, he was abducted and sold as a maid in a foreign land since he was a child. Later, he was sold to the public. At the age of ten, he fell into the Red House Qingyuan.

When traveling in Jinling, Yuhang in troubled times, Liu Ru's original name is not Rushi, but Liu Yin (it is not verified here whether it is the real name or the stage name).

Liu Rushi read the poem of Xin Qiji, a famous general of the Song Dynasty: "I saw that the green mountains were so charming, and I thought that the green mountains should be like this," so he called himself "Rushi".

Although Liu Rushi is in the dust, he has a noble ideal and noble heart, and wants to stand up again to be a human being.

When she was twenty-one, she met Qian Qianyi and fell in love with her at first sight. After that, Qian Qianyi, who was nearly sixty, married Liu Rushi, who was in her twenties.

Qian Qianyi built the "Jiangyun Tower" and "Red Bean Hall" for Liu Rushi, and the golden house was filled with charm.

The two of them read books and discussed poetry, and were so happy. In history, Li Moucheng captured Kyoto, Chongzhen hanged himself to sacrifice his country, and the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. The Ming Dynasty ministers had three ways to go:

First, resist resolutely and remain unswerving until death; second, live in exile and flee;

The third is to surrender to the enemy and become a slave to the country!

Liu Rushi strongly encouraged Qian Qianyi to work in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. When the court became smaller, Qian Qianyi's position was promoted and he became the Minister of Rites as a high-ranking official.

However, the Southern Ming Dynasty failed to withstand the Qing army's offensive. Later, Duoduo's troops came to the city of Jinling. As a woman, Liu Rushi showed a strong side no less than a man, and even persuaded Qian Qianyi to join the water and die for his country.

Qian Qianyi agreed even more!

This shameless villain even made a high-profile statement to the outside world that he wanted to follow Qu Yuan, jumped into the water and committed suicide, and vowed to live and die with the Ming Dynasty!

Not only that, he also led his family to Shanghu Lake in Changshu, preparing to commit suicide by looking for the lakeside.

However, what is ridiculous is that when it comes to the day when he commits suicide by jumping into the water, Qian Qianyi hesitates. Liu Rushi next to him told him, "What are you hesitating about when your husband dies loyal to the country?"

Qian Qianyi, who was forced to have no way to retreat, felt helpless, so he touched the lake water. Then, under the shocked gaze of Liu Rushi and others, Lei Ran said: "The water is too cold to go down."

Then, she left!

At this point, Liu Rushi was completely disappointed with him. The strong Liu Rushi turned around and was about to jump into the river, but was stopped by Qian Qianyi's orders.

Later, this shameless villain even posted a famous saying that was a famous person that has been through the ages afterwards:

"The scalp is very itchy!"

After saying that, he found a barber shaver, changed the Ming Dynasty hairstyle and shaved it into a standard "money rat tail" hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty.

Then he opened the city gate and begged for surrender to the Qing army!

The famous prostitute Liu Rushi, who was by the Qinhuai River, leaped, and made the reputation and dignity of Qian Qianyi, a great scholar who was famous all over the world, smashed it into pieces!

Zhu Gaochi stood beside Lao Zhu, looking at Qian Qianyi, who was as limp as mud in front of him, with unconcealed disgust in his eyes.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Zhu Gaochi's heart moved, looked at Yuhuatian beside him, and said, "Can Liu Rushi be there?"

Hearing this, Yu Huatian pointed to the crowd kneeling on the ground in the distance, a woman with a expressionless face and a beautiful appearance, about twenty-three or four years old, said:

"Criminal, that's Liu Rushi."

After saying that, he felt as if he was feeling emotion, saying, "It's a pity that this woman has also diluted the disgust towards Qian Qianyi in the history of later generations because of her various righteous actions."

"But now that I am influenced by Qian Qianyi, I am afraid I will die a bad death."

Listening to Yu Huatian's sigh in his ears, Zhu Gaochi's heart moved, and came to Lao Zhu who was looking at a group of rebel ministers, bowed and said:

"Grandpa, grandson wants to ask for one person from grandpa!"

"Huh?" Hearing the words of the boy Zhu Gaochi, Old Zhu frowned and said, "Who do you want?"

At this time, this kid asked for someone from him, obviously one of the rebels or his family members.

This made Lao Zhu dissatisfied!

When Zhu Gaochi noticed Lao Zhu's dissatisfaction, he felt numb again, but he still persisted. Liu Rushi was a person worthy of admiration.

If he died tragically because of a shameless villain like Qian Qianyi, he would be too proud.

"Tell me." Lao Zhu spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's heart moved and said, "She is Liu Rushi."

As he said that, Zhu Gaochi was worried that Lao Zhu would misunderstand, and then added:

"Grandpa must know her. When you were looking at historical figures in the Ming Dynasty, you also praised her and called her courageous and powerful."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhu suddenly realized, and then he remembered that Liu Rushi married Qian Qianyi, the shameless villain.

Unfortunately, I missed someone!

I thought I was interested in the real Qingliu, but I didn’t want it to be garbage.

At this time, Liu Rushi, who was kneeling in the crowd, heard that the famous Emperor Renzong in the history of the Ming Dynasty, actually pleaded for her, and a trace of surprise appeared on his desolate face.
