Chapter 5 Yang Longyou
Yang Longyou, a native of Guizhou, is an old friend of Chengyi Bo Mansion. I don’t know how much he has done to Chengyi Bo Mansion over the years. This time he helped Empress Zhang contact Liu Yongxi and Donglin and Fushe, so Liu Kongzhao immediately held Yang Longyou’s hand and called out his words enthusiastically: “Wen Cong, what wind has blown you!”
Yang Longwen said straight to the point: "Now all the civil and military officials in the court are going to invite Empress Zhang to get off the boat, but Empress Zhang said that she thinks the scenery of Yanzijie is good, and she wants to stay for a few more days. She can only trust Xiaochengyi Bo. Unless Xiaochengyi Bo has gone there personally, she will not get off the boat!"
"The scenery of Yanziji is good" is just an excuse for Queen Zhang to refuse to get off the boat. Although Queen Zhang was a little tired of staying on the imperial boat, and now the imperial boat is full of Zhou Zhisheng's personal soldiers, she is not comfortable at all, but she knows that she must not give in to such a principled issue.
But tomorrow is the day when King Fu ascends the throne and reigns. Empress Zhang refuses to get off the ship and makes King Fu ascends the throne unjust.
When Liu Kongzhao heard this, he said enthusiastically: "Yongxi, since it is Empress Zhang who is invited, please come with your Uncle Yang!"
Liu Yongxi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Yang, before I got off the boat this time, the empress specifically told me that unless there was her handwritten edict, even if the Marquis Taikang came and invited me, I would not be allowed to go back!"
This is equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Yang Longyou. He could only persuade him hard: "Yongxi, can you sell your Uncle Yang for a face? What is waiting for you now is not only Shi Kefa, but Zhao Zhilong and Han Zanzhou, and you Uncle Ma and Uncle Tian are also waiting there!"
The "Uncle Tian" he mentioned is Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and "Uncle Tian" is Tian Yang, the former governor of Sichuan. These two Guizhou people, like Yang Longyou, have a very close relationship with the Chengyi Bo Mansion. A few months ago, Liu Kongzhao also wrote a letter to the court to advise him to restore Tian Yang.
Liu Yongxi did not refuse directly, but said to the prince Sun Fan on the side: "Uncle Sun Fan, I really can't agree to this matter. My two battalions of righteous troops have been left in Jiangbei. Now if I persuade the Empress to get off the boat, what will I see the two late emperors?"
The more he looked at Liu Yongxi in the past two days, the more he liked him, he felt that he was better than Liu Kongzhao, Cao Jiang Chengyibo, no matter which aspect, he was even considering how to further deepen the relationship between the two sides.
Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, Wang Sunfan naturally stood up to speak for Liu Yongxi: "Brother Wencong, I know you are kind-hearted, but now Ma Yaocao has not officially entered the cabinet yet, so it's better to use more thoughts on the major matters of his entry into the cabinet!"
Before coming, Yang Longyou had already communicated with Ma Shiying specifically, although he felt that it was inappropriate for Liu Kongzhao and Liu Kongyongxi to divide the water and land into different rivers.
However, Empress Zhang was extremely stubborn about entering the city, and the Taikang Hou, Tong Yili, Shi Chaoli, and Zhou Zhisheng were all extremely firm "back party". She always argued with the ministers of Nandu in this matter.
Even though Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa, Han Zanzhou tried his best to persuade Empress Zhang to enter the city to participate in tomorrow's ceremony of ascension to the throne.
But Empress Zhang didn't say anything, saying that she could only trust Liu Yongxi, the sincerity uncle, and as long as Liu Yongxi, the sincere uncle, came out of the ship immediately.
Therefore, after Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa asked King Fu, he felt that Liu Yongxi could lead a town alone in Jiangbei. Anyway, the four towns in Jiangbei were already big, so it didn't matter if there was one more army. Moreover, Liu Yongxi was a nobleman for many generations, and his loyalty to the court was definitely not comparable to Gao Jie, and Liu Zeqing.
Yang Longyou conveyed the consensus reached by Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa: "Yongxi, as long as you are willing to go over and persuade Zhang, Sima Shi Da has agreed to serve as a new deputy general in Jiangbei and lead the two thousand five soldiers!"
Liu Yongxi is not easy to take over this topic. After all, he is just the prince of Chengyi Bo now. Liu Yongxi, the Cao Jiang Chengyi Bo, is not at the turn of Liu Yongxi.
But Wang Sunfan said without any scruples: "Yang Wencong, you shouldn't make such promises. Now Ma Yaocao has not officially entered the cabinet. If you are beaten up, you Guizhou people will not even cry!"
Yang Longyou has been running around this matter these days, and he feels that everything has come naturally: "How is this possible? Sima Shi has already agreed, not to mention that I am a member of Fushe, and Ma Shiying is also a member of Fushe. The gentlemen of Fushe cannot make jokes about killing each other!"
Few people know that Ma Shiying was once one of the earliest members of Fushe. In the third year of Chongzhen, he and a group of Donglin were signed with a group of Donglin in Yang Longyou's "Landscape Movement Poems" and when he wrote the preface together with the "She brother Ma Shiying". Although he gradually got farther and farther away from Donglin Fushe in recent years, even directly removed from many meeting books, Ma Shiying always regarded himself as a member of Fushe.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Yang Longyou felt that the big guys of Donglin Fushe would not stop Ma Shiying from entering the cabinet, but Liu Kongzhao still advised him: "Always be careful! Longyou, Ruan Yuanhai and you are in-laws. The younger generations of Fushe hate the most is Ruan Yuanhai. If Ma Yaocao capsizes this time, you Guizhou Township Party will encounter big trouble!"
When it comes to Ruan Dacheng, Yang Longyou also feels very headache. His relationship with Ruan Dacheng is different. Ruan Dacheng's only beloved daughter Ruan Lizhen betrothed to his youngest son Yang Zuolin.
Although the children were not married yet, with such a relationship, he naturally had to support Ruan Dacheng's recovery. It was Ruan Dacheng's strength to be able to restore the governor of Fengyang in the 15th year of Chongzhen. In addition to Ruan Dacheng's decision-making achievements this time, these Guizhou Township Party felt that Ruan Dacheng must be restored both public and private.
However, in the eyes of many Donglin and Fushe juniors, Ruan Dacheng, a eunuch party, was not only a person who was in the case, but also an absolute Donglin traitor.
Attacking Ruan Dacheng has become their repertoire. They often criticize Ruan Dacheng while appreciating Ruan Dacheng's Yanzi's note. Sometimes they even curse from beginning to end in front of the opera troupe borrowed by Ruan Dacheng's family.
Yang Longyou, the backbone of the Fushe Society, was already stuck between his in-laws and good friends, and now he felt that it was adding fuel to the fire. He could only smile bitterly: "I think gentlemen such as Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi will not be so unwise, but no matter what they think, our Guizhou Township Party will not miss this opportunity!"
Although on the surface, this is just a question of whether Ma Shiying himself can join the cabinet, it actually concerns the long-term future of a large group of Guizhou Township Party members.
These Guizhou Township Party are all frustrated in the officialdom.
The former Sichuan Governor Tian Yang has been deposed for more than ten years and has not been able to recover. His uncle and father-in-law Yue Qijie has also been deposed for many years. Last year, he took advantage of the east wind that Ma Shiying has gained to have the opportunity to supervise the army in Fengyang.
Even Yang Longyou himself has been in office for many years. Now these village party members are waiting for Ma Shiying to join the cabinet and get back together.
Although he is the backbone of the Fushe Society and his sons are also the backbone of the Fushe Society, he can be humble in everything, but this matter must not be compromised.
