Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 108 Liu Rushi, Farewell to Wang Yan
Wang Yan hid in Qian Qianyi's mansion and was unable to leave the city. After a few days, Qian Qianyi came again and said: "Azig has raised all the soldiers from Anqing and rushed straight to Yuhang!"

These days, ever since Wang Yan learned of Azigdon's troops in Anqing, he has had trouble sleeping and eating. Although he was prepared for the Qing army breaking the contract and going south, when he really heard the news, he was still struck by lightning.

Seeing Wang Yan's appearance, Qian Qianyi said, "The general situation is gone now. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Shiheng should take care of himself. It is better to surrender as soon as possible, and a high official can be obtained!"

Taking advantage of Liu Rushi's absence, Qian Qianyi persuaded Wang Yan to surrender to the Qing court now that the situation was completely tilted toward the Qing court.

Wang Yan heard the bad news suddenly, and listened to Qian Qianyi's words, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and after a while, he replied: "Sir, I hid me in the mansion, and I have been kind to me, but don't bring up the issue of the Qing Dynasty again. Our scholar-bureaucrats are deeply favored by the state, eat the royal salary, and do things loyal to the emperor. How can we ignore the existence of clothes because of personal life and death? If I descend to the Qing Dynasty, how can I see my mentor in Jiuquan?"

Although Wang Yan did not open his mouth to scold Qian Qianyi, his words seemed to speak of his own aspirations, but every time he hit Qian Qianyi's heart, he seemed to be asking him, what are you doing today, a member of the imperial court and the leader of the Donglin Party? Face here!

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but change his face, but he persuaded again: "Why doesn't Shi Heng know how to rise and fall?"

"This is not the change of the Han family dynasty, but the invasion of the Hu captives to the south. It is not the subjugation of the country, but the subjugation of the world!" Seeing him persuading him again, Wang Yan couldn't help being a little angry: "I am ashamed, and I dare not forget my ancestors. Don't say too much, sir!"

The implication of Wang Yan's words was that Qian Qianyi had no sense of shame, which immediately made this Donglin giant face embarrassed.

"If you admire Hou Ye's words, you should be like that of a scholar-bureaucrat!" At some time, Liu Ruyi came outside Wang Yan's house, and she heard the two talking, and walked into the room with a sigh of admiration.

Seeing that Liu Rushi treated him coldly, Qian Qianyi knew that he was secretly persuading Wang Yan to surrender, which made Liu Rushi very unhappy, and Wang Yan was also firm in his attitude, which made Qian Qianyi completely give up the idea of ​​surrendering, and began to send him out of the city with all his heart. .

At that time, the manhunt in the city was still going on, and after Wang Yan learned of Azignan's invasion, he felt as if he was sitting on a needle blanket.

At this time, the number of arrests in Nanjing had exceeded 200, and Tulai received nearly [-] million taels of silver for this. The stimulation of money made Tulai even more indulgent in the arrest of the Qing army in the city, and Nanjing was suddenly in chaos.

Under the connivance of the generals, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty became more and more presumptuous. After the wealthy households were almost extorted, they actually extended their eyes to the honored ministers who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

On August [-], the surrendered minister Longping Hou Zhang Gongri's mansion first broke into a large number of Manchurian soldiers, and plundered his property in the name of searching and arresting. become seriously injured.

As soon as this incident happened, the surrendered officials in the city of Nanjing were panic-stricken. They secretly joined forces with people who were filled with righteous indignation. Tulai was informed by the spies before he suddenly woke up. He was afraid that Nanjing would be unstable and he would make a big mistake. With enough silver taels, the Qing army was ordered to stop the search.

That day, when Wang Yan was thinking hard about how to get out of the city, Qian Qianyi came again and said to him, "The Qing court recruited Nanjing's descendants to go north to Beijing, and Shi Heng's chance to leave the city is here!"

The search for Wang Yan was caused by the Qing army's intrusion into Xunchen's mansion, which caused a wave of undercurrents, which made Nanjing unstable, and made Tulai aware of the power of Nanjing's surrender, which has huge hidden dangers.

Tulai couldn't kill them all, but he didn't have a way to control the hidden dangers. When he was in distress, Duoduo wrote to him, asking him to send troops to escort his surrender northward for centralized monitoring.

(In history, Qian Qianyi and others went north with Duoduo, but in the book, Duoduo left in a hurry, so the surrender was still in Nanjing.)
When Wang Yan heard Qian Qianyi's words, he was overjoyed immediately and thanked him again and again.

Tulai acted vigorously and resolutely. On August [-]th, hundreds of Qing soldiers escorted more than [-] surrendered ministers and honorable officials from Nanjing to Beijing.

During the trip, people and horses neighed, wheels rolled, and countless family members saw them off. Wang Yan hid in Liu Rushi's car and was able to leave the city.

At the ferry of the Yangtze River, the surrendered ministers entered Beijing with only a few family members, and then bid farewell to the family members who were sending them off. Liu Rushi also said Qian Qianyi said: "My husband went north to serve the Qing court, and my concubine's heart is in the Han Dynasty, so I don't want to go! This is going to Wanli Road. Husband take care, if he returns to the south, I will reunite with my husband again!"

After Liu Rushi finished speaking, he saluted slightly, then turned around and got into the car, leaving Qian Qianyi standing beside the Taotao River with a sad face.

After Qian Qianyi entered Beijing, he was not allowed to be reused by the Qing court. His position was reduced from Minister of Rites to Minister of Servant, and he was cut two ranks in a row.

When Qian Qianyi went north to serve the Qing court, Liu Rushi was unwilling to accompany him, but after Qian Qianyi begged to return, Liu Rushi stayed by his side all the time.

Since then, anti-Qing incidents have happened one after another across the country. Qian Qianyi, as the leader of the Donglin Party and the leader of Shilin, has disciples and old officials all over the world. , was imprisoned by the Qing court several times, and Liu Rushi was always by his side.

When Qian Qianyi served for the Qing court, Liu Rushi was unwilling to follow her, but after she returned to her hometown, she was imprisoned many times, but she never left her, lobbied for him, and even wanted to die on her behalf, which shows that she is a strange woman!

Outside the city of Nanjing, after seeing off Qian Qianyi, Liu Rushi ordered his servants to drive the car to a hidden place, and then called out Wang Yan to see him off.

"Madam's kindness, I will remember it in my heart, if we meet again in the future, I will definitely thank you very much!" Wang Yan bowed and thanked from the bottom of his heart.

Trapped in Nanjing for several days, the world has changed dramatically. Wang Yan's anxiety and remorse are beyond words. Every day he stays in Nanjing, he suffers more. Today, thanks to Liu Rushi's help, he finally escaped from the predicament. How could he not be grateful.

"Hou Ye don't need to thank you. If you can organize your army and prepare for war, and restore our land and save the people from the fire and water as soon as possible, it will be the greatest favor to my concubine." Liu Rushi sincerely returned the gift, and then untied a money bag and handed it to Wang Yan: "The road to the south is full of Qing soldiers. When Lord Hou returns to the south, he should be extremely careful. There are hundreds of taels of silver here, which can help Lord Hou make his journey."

Liu Rushi saved Wang Yan's life first, then hid him in the mansion at the risk of his life, and now gave him money to help him escape south, which moved Wang Yan greatly, and then bowed again, "Thank you for your kindness. The danger of the situation is like an emergency, so I will bid farewell to my wife because of this!"

After Wang Yan finished the ceremony, he put the money bag in his arms, and then turned to leave. Liu Rushi looked at the back of the man who was going away, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty is going, don't forget the people of Nanjing, and look forward to Wang Shi's return as soon as possible. Yea!"
