From mid-October to the end of October, Wang Zhizheng recuperated at home for half a month. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this time, Emperor Chongzhen specially granted him a vacation, saying that he was a little exhausted, looked thin, and was in a bad mental state.

Wang Zhizheng understood that he was disgusted with the struggle during this time, and not only was he exhausted, but his martial arts were also a little wasted.

During the recuperation period, Wang Zhizheng lived in the Chongguo Mansion and did not go out, and accompanied Qingqing, Ruan, and Yanhong to play chess and cards every day, or take his son to play.

October 25 is the 70th birthday of Wang Zhizheng's grandmother Zhang Taijun.

On this day, Chongguo Gong's father and son, including the people from the close branches of Chongguo Mansion, came early, including Wang Zhichen, Wang Liangfu and his son, and Huang Zongxi, who has not yet been named and still uses Wang Zhiyi's identity.

Chongguo Mansion is full of lights, lively and extraordinary, and Mrs. Zhang sits in the position of the birthday star to receive the congratulations of the clansmen.

Xizong once named Zhang Lao Taijun as the first lady of the order.

And Zhang Lao Taijun also has an identity, which is the grandmother of Emperor Chongzhen.

So on this day, Emperor Chongzhen also approached Chongguo Mansion to pay homage to his grandmother.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and held Emperor Chongzhen's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs, why do you come to pay homage to the old man?"

Emperor Chongzhen lost his parents when he was a child, so Zhang Lao Taijun cared for him very much, and Emperor Chongzhen could occasionally get some family affection from Zhang Lao Taijun and Chongguo Gong.

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Grandma, your seventieth birthday, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time to pay your birthday greetings!"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "The emperor has a chance, and as the emperor, everything will be fine." ”

Emperor Chongzhen sat beside Zhang Lao Taijun with a smile and said: "Whether you are an emperor or a commoner, you can't forget it. ”

Taking advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's birthday greeting Mrs. Zhang, Wang Zhizheng hurriedly invited hundreds of officials to the table, but the emperor did not enter the table, how dare the hundred officials enter the table, they all bowed down and stood aside and waited.

At this time, Huang Zongxi came over and bowed down and said, "Master Taifu, Xia Guan has some things and wants to talk to you alone, don't you know if it's convenient?"

Wang Zhizheng looked at Huang Zongxi, after two years of training, that impulsive and hot-blooded young man has become a stable old city.

Wang Zhizheng patted Huang Zongxi's shoulder with a smile and said, "My brother, if there is anything convenient or inconvenient, let's go." ”

With that, Wang Zhizheng led Huang Zongxi to the big study.

Entering the study, Huang Zongxi looked left and right to see if there were no outsiders, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Huang Zongxi asks for peace to Engong." ”

Wang Zhizheng was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up Huang Zongxi and asked with a smile: "What's the trouble?" Hehehe, why did you suddenly give me this big gift, do you have any more requirements?"

Huang Zongxi heard Wang Zhizheng joking, and said with a smile: "In the past two years, I have seen my own eyes that adults have been running around for my father in order to eradicate traitors, facing crises several times, and trying their best again and again, I feel both grateful and admired. ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and pointed to the seat: "Come on, come on, sit down and say, why do I think you have something important to tell me today?"

Huang Zongxi nodded, poured tea, and handed Wang Zhizheng a cup, Wang Zhizheng took the tea, took a sip, and waited for Huang Zongxi to speak.

Huang Zongxi said: "Brother Wang, since my brother has been fighting with you, he has repeatedly watched your efforts, as a loyal minister, I don't have your efforts, I really have a guilty conscience." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, you, don't pat me on the back, wear a high hat, when will you Huang Zongxi learn this set?"

Huang Zongxi nodded and asked solemnly, "I don't know what your lordship plans to do in the future?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Wang Zhizheng felt a little abrupt, so he took a sip of tea and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Huang Zongxi asked reluctantly: "Please answer me, Brother Wang!"

Wang Zhizheng sighed and said: "I helped King Baoxin to become the emperor, Lao Tzu said: If you retire after success, the way of heaven is also." I plan to resign from all my positions and devote myself to studying at home, teaching my children, and traveling all over the world!"

Huang Zongxi suddenly stood up and said: "Brother Wang, brother, I coincide with you, I want to resign from the position of the forbidden army, and then go back to my hometown to study hard, do learning, and never step into the eunuch road again!"

Wang Zhizheng was taken aback, stared at Huang Zongxi and said: "You are different from me, eradicate the eunuch party, help King Baoxin to ascend the throne as the emperor, my mission in this life will be completed, you are only in the year of the weak crown, the future is limitless, how can you give up on yourself?"

Huang Zongxi said sincerely: "Brother Wang, my younger brother is not giving up on himself, but witnessing the cruelty of the political struggle! My father died because of the struggle, and now all the eunuchs have been killed, although revenge is very pleasant, but I am tired of fighting, and I really don't want to struggle in this political whirlpool anymore!"

Huang Zongxi said everything from Wang Zhizheng's heart, and he didn't know how to dissuade him for a while.

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't dissuade me, although I am young, my father taught me that no matter whether I am in the temple or in the countryside, as long as I have the world in my heart, I can become a big mind! Brother Wang often taught me that a scholar should not seek fame and fame, but should seek to be used in the world!"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and sighed: "I just think it's a pity, you are different from me, I can't be an official, because if I continue to do it, I can't escape the infamy of the minister, and the emperor will definitely not tolerate me, so I choose to resign." You have a close friend with the emperor, the emperor will inevitably treat you sincerely, within ten years, you will be the secretary of the military department, and you will be in the prime minister, I think it's a pity to give up now. ”

Huang Zongxi smiled open-mindedly and said: "I have recognized a teacher who is a friend of my late father: Mr. Qishan, this opportunity cannot be easily missed, and the opportunity to study with Mr. Qishan is very rare!"

As soon as he heard Mr. Yingshan, Wang Zhizheng tilted his head and asked, "Are you talking about Liu Zongzhou?"

Huang Zongxi nodded proudly.

Wang Zhizheng exclaimed: "Liu Zongzhou is willing to accept you as an apprentice?" My God, this old Mr. Liu is notoriously weird and has always looked down on the children of the family, how can he accept you as an apprentice?"

Huang Zongxi grinned and said, "Sincerity is spiritual!"

Wang Zhizheng pointed at him and said: "No excuse you make, I won't let you go, but since you follow Liu Zongzhou to study, I won't stop you! Hehehe, the first emperor said that Liu Zongzhou was a powerful person, Wei Zhongxian dismissed him, and he even set up a banquet for Wei Zhongxian to celebrate, saying that he was grateful to Wei Zhongxian for saving him from the cage, hahaha!"

When Huang Zongxi heard this, he also laughed and said: "Mr. Liu had no way to fix Wei Zhongxian, and he went to eat his meal. Later, after my father, Gao Panlong, and Qijun were killed, Mr. Liu wrote a message of mourning and denounced Wei Zhongxian......"

Speaking of this, Huang Zongxi's tone became heavy.

Wang Zhizheng said with relief: "Tomorrow, the emperor will order an edict to lift the party ban of the Donglin Party, and the emperor said that after the party ban is lifted, arrest Wei Zhongxian, and then overturn the case for your father and the seven gentlemen." ”

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "Finally waited for this day, I thought that back then, I stabbed Cui Yingyuan, killed Li Kuilong, and captured Sun Yunhe, which can be regarded as avenging my father, and when the time comes, I will send Wei Zhongxian on the road, and my brother will not join in this fun!"

Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid that your master, Mr. Liu, will also be difficult to be idle, according to the emperor's style, he will definitely be ordered to go out of the mountain as a master!"

Huang Zongxi waved his hand and said: "If the master goes out of the mountain, I will follow him out of the mountain, no matter what the master does, the apprentice must follow closely!"

Wang Zhizheng pointed at Huang Zongxi and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is not authentic, the talents I have cultivated will be poached for me without saying a word, and he will not invite me to a meal when he arrives." ”

Huang Zongxi smiled and said, "It's not because you are in a high position, the master is most disgusted by associating with you dignitaries." ”

Wang Zhizheng pointed to his nose: "Dignitaries and nobles?...... I...... Hehehe, can you ask Mr. Liu if you can wait for a while until I resign and learn from him?"

Huang Zongxi smiled mysteriously: "Brother Wang are you sure it's not a joke?"

Wang Zhizheng really said: "What are you kidding, I seem to be joking?!"

Huang Zongxi arched his hand and said, "That brother will recommend the master for you." ”

On the second day, Huang Zongxi's resignation was handed to Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that Huang Zongxi was about to resign, he was a little anxious and a little angry and said to his personal eunuch Xu Yingyuan: "Go and call Huang Zongxi!"

After Huang Zongxi came, he knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only shallow in learning, only brute force, and lacks the talent to be used in the world, and when he returns from the study tour, he will definitely be loyal to the emperor!"

Emperor Chongzhen shook the edict in his hand: "Huang Zongxi, look at what this is?"

As he spoke, he handed it to Xu Yingyuan.

Xu Yingyuan handed it over to Huang Zongxi, and Huang Zongxi unfolded it to see "Lifting the Ban on the Donglin Party".

After Huang Zongxi finished reading it, he fell to his knees with tears in his eyes and said: "I finally waited for this edict! The emperor is wise, and he is really a generation of heroes!"

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "In the letter mansion, what I promised to you will be fulfilled! Don't resign from your official position, work hard in the Praetorian Guard, if you don't want to join the army, I will transfer you to the military department as a staff department." ”

Huang Zongxi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Wechen is grateful for the emperor's kindness, but there is no shortage of talents in the new dynasty, but Wechen lacks the talent to govern the time, so I ask the emperor for permission." ”

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen know that Huang Zongxi had made up his mind: "Taichong, you really want to leave, I won't stop you, you can go, but remember, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods will be with the emperor's family! After you finish learning, you have to come back! Not only do you want to come back, but Liu Zongzhou also has to come back, understand?"

Huang Zongxi smiled slightly and arched his hand: "Weichen thank the emperor for his grace!"
