    "I did not lose to Ma Shiying." Wang Duo, a former university scholar, tried to straighten his body, suppressing the trembling that he could not hide no matter how hard he tried, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I lost to God."

    Wang Duo seems to have forgotten that the Donglin Party headed by Ma Shiying has never won a single victory in the face of Ma Shiying.  Not only that, after the crisis of the Manchus moving south, the Donglin Party split in his hands and then slowly died.  Four years later, everything has changed.  It seems that the Donglin Party only exists in memory, and now the mainstay of Qingliu is Fushe.  Among the people seeing him off in front of him, most of the officials were from Fushe.  Each of them is young and dazzling, even though they are as quiet as virgins, this cannot hide the passion buried in their hearts.

    As a former Qingliu leader, Wang Duo does not need the pity of these young people.  He must maintain his last dignity Therefore, he has not failed, and there is no failure in his dictionary, just setbacks leading to success.  If God gave him enough time, he firmly believed that he would be able to defeat the eunuchs.  It's a pity that God doesn't seem to give him too much time.

    Over the past six months, Wang Duo's health has been deteriorating.  His back gradually became hunched, his steps became less flexible, and he couldn't see anything.  Everything was a warning from God through his body His time was running out.  But he kept gritting his teeth and persisted, shouting for ginseng slices and taking pills every day to hold on.  It wasn't until he fainted in the main hall half a month ago and woke up again that Wang Duo finally understood that he really had to leave the court this time.  But even if he leaves, he must retain his last persistence, for reputation and pride.  So he ignored the strange expressions on the faces of those who saw him off, and continued to speak without shame: "I am old and can no longer accompany His Majesty. You should fulfill your duties and protect the Ming Dynasty. Don't let the two hundred years of foundation be ruined in the hands of the eunuchs.  ."

    "I will obey the teachings of the old man!" The officials No. 30 and 40 in front of them all bowed.

    Wang Duo nodded with satisfaction and closed his eyes, as if he wanted to imprint the scenery of Nanjing firmly in his increasingly dull mind.  After a long time, Wang Duo opened his eyes and suddenly shouted: "I will serve you with pen and ink!"

    In just a moment, the servant brought the Four Treasures of the Study one after another.  Spreading out the silk paper, Wang Duo took up his pen and thought for a long time, then said: "On the occasion of parting, I would like to give you a message to encourage all of you." After saying this, he brushed up his pen and finished it in one go.

    There were four big words written on the paper: Time waits not for us.

    ¡°Perhaps he was sighing at God¡¯s harsh treatment of him, or perhaps he was regretting the wasted years, so Wang Duo left these four words.  Then he left happily and gracefully.  Two servants.  A green carriage disappeared leisurely at the end of the official road.

    After seeing everyone off, they looked at the calligraphy treasure left by Wang Duo and pointed at it.  There are those who are disdainful, there are those who touch the heart, and most of them are confused.  I don't know what Wang Duo means. Are they, the fifth and sixth grade petty officials, colluding to defeat Ma Shiying?

    So many people unconsciously looked at Yang Tingshu, the backbone of the leader of Fushe despite not having an official position.  Yang Tingshu just smiled.  Pointing at the calligraphy treasure, he said: "Master Wang is encouraging us not to waste our time." A gust of wind blew by, Yang Tingshu turned his head and looked at the sky, frowned and said: "I'll go back later, the wind is blowing  "

    Everyone dispersed, or rode in sedan chairs.  Or take a carriage and return to Nanjing along the official road.  Several key members of Fushe were crowded on a carriage, frowning all the way.

    There is no doubt that they respect Wang Duo¡¯s character, but this cannot deny Wang Duo¡¯s rolewaste!  Although a little mean.  But that's what it is.  Wang Duo has accomplished nothing over the years, just like Ma Shiying commented, he is just a annoying fly.  It's not even as good as a mosquito, because mosquitoes can at least bleed Ma Shiying.  Leave a bag or something.  And the miserable Wang Duonothing, nothing.

    Come and go alone.  All that's left is an even more headache-inducing mess.

    "Time waits for no one Mr. Wang really thinks that my three thousand disciples who have returned to society can move Ma Shiying? You are confused!" Huang Chunyao's tone was slightly harsh.

    "If Mr. Wang is not confused, he is not Mr. Wang Otherwise, Jin Yao thinks how could Ma Shiying keep Mr. Wang to this day? It's because he is confused." Fang Yizhi, who saw through Wang Duo's background, said with a smile.

    Gu Yanwu, who was sitting across from him, frowned unhappily: "Master Wang is highly virtuous and highly respected. Although he has no achievements, he is not someone we can criticize at will" He couldn't even continue to speak.  Even Gu Yanwu was very dissatisfied with Mr. Wang.  If your virtue is noble enough, then nothing will be achieved.  There is neither the unifying power of the leader nor the management ability of the leader.  In the past four years, Qingliu's power has not only failed to expand, but has gone from bad to worse.  Gu Yanwu guessed that if it were not for the support of Fushe, the court would have been completely occupied by the Ma Party, right?

    "It's useless to talk more. We might as well discuss who will fill the vacancy of Mr. Wang."Wang Duo is a bachelor of the cabinet. When he retires and returns to his hometown, there will naturally be a vacancy.  This is what everyone is most dissatisfied with Wang Duo. Since he knew that he was going to retreat, he had to risk his life to support his people to go up.  Fortunately, Wang Duo left without appointing a successor or providing any support.

    This created a bad situation. Qingliu, who was not at an advantage to begin with, had to fight to the death among himself before he could select a suitable candidate to replace Wang Duo.

    The four people in the car looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn¡¯t know what to say.  Maybe I should ask Yang Tingshu in the sedan behind for advice?  No matter what, Wang Duo's shortage cannot fall into Ma Shiying's hands.

    For a long time, Huang Zongxi, who had been silent, suddenly said: "How is Huang Daozhou?"

    The name of Huang Daozhou attracted the other three people's attention.  If Huang Zongxi's family member is a candidate, doesn't it mean that Fushe will have to bow to the Donglin Party?  Why?

    "Taichong"

    ?? Huang Zongxi shook his beard and smiled: "To resume society, we must accumulate more and more There are some things that are better to let people who want to be visible take the lead."

    ¡­¡­

    What the Fushe people didn¡¯t know was that while they were worrying about candidates, Ma Shiying didn¡¯t care at all about who would take over the position of bachelor left by Wang Duo.

    Swallowing the ginseng tea in small sips, tapping his right hand rhythmically on his knees, Ma Shiying, who was intoxicated in Kun Opera, suddenly said: "Wen Cong, what do you think those Qingliu are busy with now?"

    Yang Wencong¡¯s name contains the word ¡°Cong¡±, which fully shows that his parents are very foresighted.  Because Yang Wencong is indeed very smart.  At the end of Wanli period, Si was raised in his hometown. He also studied civil and martial arts and was good at painting.  After listening to the Chief Assistant's inquiry, Yang Wencong, who was also older than he knew his destiny, smiled and said: "What else can I do? I'm just worried about the vacancy left by Mr. Wang Duo."

    Ma Shiying nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Then what should we do?"

    Yang Wencong cupped his hands and said: "Dong Weng, God-given opportunity. I thought it was simple Why did Dong Weng shake his head?"

    Ma Shiying laughed out loud and pointed Yang Wencong in the air with his fingers.  After shaking his head, he sighed: "The structure is too small, and the spirit is too small. Wen Cong, you now know your destiny, why are you so fussy about it like a child in the society?"

    Yang Wencong was dumbfounded, not knowing what the chief assistant was talking about.

    "Even Wen Cong thinks like this. If you think about it, everyone in the society will only think that I will take the opportunity to plant cronies, right?" Ma Shiying smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wrong, how wrong. You don't know that when the moon is full, it will be weak, and when the water is full, it will be weak.  The truth of overflowing? It is naturally good to monopolize the cabinet, but that will inevitably lead to a backlash from the people of the world. So what if I give it to them and let them fight? There are old men, ministers, money and Qianyi, and the cabinet votes have already passed half. Even if it is  They compete for this vacancy, so what?"

    Yang Wencong was thoughtful.

    Ma Shiying was silent for a long time and said: "Let them fight. The more fierce the fight, the better. Only in this way can I have some peace and quiet to work with peace of mind. After fighting with them for half my life, I finally figured out some ways.  .Wen Cong, if you are willing to give up, you will get something if you give up. If you don't throw out a fleshy bone, those Qingliu gang will stare at you and make you tied up. They want it, okay! Then I will give it to them.  "Ma Shiying turned around suddenly and said with a satisfied smile: "When they fought to a bloody battle, they realized that they had thrown away the best feast for a meat bone."

    "Hiss Dong Weng, are you planning to" Yang Wencong took a breath of air.

    Ma Shiying nodded silently: "It's been four years it's time."

    "But what did Governor Sun say?"

    "Sun Chuanting?" Ma Shiying smiled confidently: "Sun Chuanting is probably more anxious than me. Even if the time is not ripe, he, Sun Chuanting, will send his troops north after accepting the imperial decree. The Ming Dynasty cannot afford to delay, and he, Sun Chuanting, can't afford to delay. I believe Wang  Duo's departure will make Sun Chuanting even more impatient. Sun Chuanting has been looking forward to raising people for several years and will never let the world down."

    "What about Australia? What do Australians say?"

    "Australia?" Ma Shiying stopped and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid this is the only constraint for us. Australia I plan to persuade the Australian ambassador in the near future to support the Northern Expedition!" The words "Northern Expedition" are difficult and yet  Sonorous and powerful words jumped out of Ma Shiying's mouth.

    "My lord, chief minister, I'm sorry for the presumption, but I'm afraid Australians won't be so easy to get along with." Yang Wencong bowed and said.

    Ma Shiying nodded silently.  Is it more than just difficult to deal with?  For Ming Dynasty, Australia is a big mountain weighing on its head, and I am afraid that several generations will not be able to move it.  The three armies have to go ahead without spending money on food and grass. The issue of military expenditure alone can stump everyone.  You must know that Australians are not charitable, and Ming Dynasty simply cannot afford the military expenses of this war.  So we can only?Australia to raise money.

    "No need to worry, I have already found a lobbyist." After a pause, Ma Shiying turned to Yang Wencong and said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will coordinate the Ministry of Household Calculation to calculate the money and food Fushe and the Donglin Party want to fight, so let them fight.  Okay. I said that their structure is too small, so I am the chief minister, and they are just junior officials. Time waits for no one" (To be continued)
