Lu Hanqiang resigned from all official posts and returned home, Chongzhen's reply came very quickly, although it is related to Chongzhen's character, but more from the oppression of the Donglin courtiers, this time, Lu Hanqiang killed the prisoners in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, this is a demonstration, want to go up to the emperor, down to the hundred officials to demonstrate, and kill 25,000 unarmed prisoners at a time, which is so outrageous that it can be compared with the Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao pawns.
The consequences of this are very serious, first, this time he once again seriously contempted the imperial power, which made Chongzhen very angry, even a gentle Cao Huachun could no longer help Lu Hanqiang say anything.
Second, due to Lu Hanqiang's killing of prisoners, Huang Taiji was completely angered, so the door to peace with the Ming Dynasty was completely closed, and the Ming Dynasty and Houjin were once again on the opposite side.
Third, this incident gave Donglin the excuse to attack Lu Hanqiang's brutality and domineering, so brutal and domineering, if he stood in the court again, it would be a great misfortune for the court.
Fourth, even the public opinion that has always been on Lu Hanqiang's side has been divided into two factions because of Lu Hanqiang's behavior, with many critics and few supporters.
And Lu Hanqiang did not explain, because he knew, and no one believed and understood his own suffering, because they did not know history.
In April, Lu Hanqiang took his mother and Ruyu home from the palace, with the thoughts of the old ladies and the reward of Chongzhen, but Lu Hanqiang sneered at these.
Back in the familiar small courtyard, the family was reunited again.
The mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Hanqiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything is over, everything is finally over, and everyone can live the life they want to live together in peace again.
For the way forward.
Mother thought there was no need to ask her son Lu Hanqiang, because he thought that Lu Hanqiang would be able to arrange it very well, so Lu Hanqiang reported his thoughts to his mother, "Mother, this time I am unofficial and light, I can walk freely everywhere, I want to achieve my mother's wish, and we will return to our hometown in fine clothes."
Although this cloth is not a high-ranking official, it is just a good money, but I think my mother can understand it. ” The mother grabbed Lu Hanqiang's head and held him in her arms: "When your father died, neighbors bullied, I had to take your three brothers to flee to Beijing, I was already desperate and was about to bury my bones in a foreign country, but God is pitiful, let my son have such a great fortune, do such an earth-shattering thing, you can go back to your hometown to comfort your ancestors, you can comfort your father's spirit in the sky, are you still ashamed to see people with such a great achievement, but it depends on my son's arrangement, as long as the family is stable." ” With his mother's consent, Lu Hanqiang began to arrange the future affairs of Beijing. convened a meeting with the person in charge of his own industry, he could go, but the industry could not go, the newspaper and the teahouse were still operating normally, and the shares of the commercial bank were not sold, leaving Steward Zhang to coordinate the overall situation.
As a result, Steward Zhang firmly asked the whole family to follow Lu Hanqiang to Shanxi, the reason is that he is a housekeeper, and if he doesn't follow the family, he is still a housekeeper, this reason is very legitimate, and Lu Hanqiang agreed.
Therefore, the affairs in the capital can only be handed over to Huang Weiwei for unified management, and Huang Weiwei will not let it go.
The third uncle and the little sixth son also insisted on following, and Lu Hanqiang also made proper arrangements.
Chen Liang and Gao Xu resigned from all the officials on their bodies and resolutely followed Lu Hanqiang back to their hometown, and Xu Jie said lightly: "The capital is pickled, if you look at the scenery of Shanxi, the bullshit official position given to me is useless, and the fart can not support the family, if you continue to mix with the proprietor, it is also a good food and clothing." ” So Lu Hanqiang agreed to their request and promised to return to their hometown together.
But Lu Hanqiang resolutely rejected the request of Wang Dazhuang and other brothers to resign and follow, and he said sincerely: "Daming needs you to continue to take care of it, this is what a man should do." ” So, I got drunk with Wang Dazhuang in the restaurant in the dark, and then said goodbye to the brothers who took their subordinates to work one by one.
Lu Hanqiang refused the request of the officials of the Guchen Party, saying that he was no longer an official, and if he resumed his clothes, there would be no need to have any dealings with the Guchen Party, and at the same time, if he interacted again, it would be no good for the Guchen Party and himself.
As a result, no one from the Lone Ministers Party came to the door again.
Wang Fang didn't shy away from anything, he has been helping Lu Hanqiang run around, and showed his unwavering indefatigability to Lu Hanqiang.
On the last day of leaving, Lu Hanqiang and Wang Fang, Zhao Liang and Xu Jie discussed in the secret room for half a day before they dispersed.
Originally, the small yard wanted to be sold or given away, but the mother already had a deep relationship with this yard, and said that Lu Hanqiang would have a home if he returned to Beijing in the future, so Lu Hanqiang hired an elderly couple to take care of him.
After arranging all the funeral affairs in the capital, Lu Hanqiang drove lightly, took his mother, and the Ruyu family who followed with Yili, as well as the little fat man of Zihan Guogong, and the family of the prince of loyalty and righteousness, went out of the capital alone, without officials to see him off, without the emperor's favor, nothing.
When he walked out of the capital and walked to the small pavilion, Lu Hanqiang was shocked by the huge scene in front of him.
Hundreds of people, countless literati, and 500 brothers who live and die together and are willing to return to their hometown with Lu Hanqiang, crowding the small pavilion within a radius of ten miles, Lu Hanqiang's motorcade walked on the road, and hundreds of people and scholars on both sides of the road knelt down like waves in the sea, but no one called Lu Hanqiang the prince Wandai again, and some were just low desperate cries, but this low cry converged together, which was the sadness of the sky.
Wang Shilang stood in the middle of the road, holding a wine glass, representing the countless Lonely Party members behind him to make three glasses in a row.
Lu Hanqiang accepted it calmly, and then gave a deep salute: "Empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country, this Ming Dynasty will please you." ” When he raised his glass again, he sang softly: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green."
The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain The end of the sky, the corner of the sea, half of the acquaintances Life is rare to get together, only parting more Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green Ask you when you will go, and don't linger when you come The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered A pot of turbidity sprinkled with all the joy, don't dream cold tonight" All the officials wept excitedly, all the scribes were intoxicated, they heard a swan song for the ages, and they saw the demeanor of the first lyricist who came and went in the Ming Dynasty.
When Lu Hanqiang waved goodbye, countless scribes abandoned their scarves, their hairs were scattered, and thousands of arms were waved in the air as if drunk, chanting loudly: "If life is only as it is", over and over again. t1706231537:
