Wang Zhizheng put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Zhang Pu with a smile and asked, "Brother Zhang Pu, you said that there are some important things to negotiate with me, so you don't say it, I can see that you are taking care of Ruan Dacheng and my father-in-law here, can you say it now?"

Zhang Pu looked at Zhang Cai and Xia Yunyi, shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "Master Hou, I can't hide it, now the situation in the DPRK and China is very good, and I also have a big plan, I want to discuss it with you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Pu cranked the folding fan and said: "You should know that I established the Fu Society in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, recruiting talents in Wuzhong, with the purpose of sharpening articles and respecting teachers and making friends, and later Zhang Cai established several clubs, Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong established the United Society, these three major societies are the largest reading clubs in the south of the Yangtze River, and almost all the heroes in Wuzhong have been covered. The Cloud Hairpin Club has been established, but the reading club is too much and too complicated, so it needs unified management and integration, and I negotiate with the leaders of the reading club to unify it into the name of the Fu Society, and then elect a common leader. ”

As soon as Zhang Pu's voice fell, Wang Zhizheng felt that it was not good, Jiangnan associations became a trend, this was originally a kind of self-protection of the Donglin Party, if these associations were integrated together, wouldn't it be the party struggle that had just been extinguished by the Apocalypse Dynasty to be rekindled.

Wang Zhizheng lowered his head and muttered silently.

Zhang Pu didn't see what Wang Zhizheng was thinking, and continued to shake the folding fan and said: "The integration of these dozen or so reading clubs must prevent the chaos of Wei Zhongxian and his ilk in the DPRK and China again. ”

Wang Zhizheng took a sip of tea, smiled, and asked rhetorically: "Brother Zhang Pu, let me tell you what I think in my heart, association and study are originally the freedom of scholars, but if so many associations are combined, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be internal disagreements, and at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that a new round of party struggle will arise within the resumption of society!"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng's words fell, Xia Yunyi, who was starry with sword eyebrows, spoke: "Master Hou, our Fushe is different from the ghost spirit of the eunuch party, we will not rise up party strife to attack each other, you can rest assured of this." ”

Wang Zhizheng stared at Xia Yunyi and retorted: "Of course, the literati are different from the eunuchs, the eunuchs are unscrupulous and ruthless, and the literati are bright and principled, but there are two drawbacks, one is that once the society is integrated, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no villains and divisions." Second, if a community is too powerful, the emperor will also be frightened, which is not a good thing for you. ”

Zhang Pu folded his fan and waved his hand and said: "No, Hou Ye, I don't agree with your opinion, the power of joining together is great, if we don't unite, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no more powerful ministers who control the court, and we can also play a role in counterbalancing the evil spirits in the court, how can the emperor be alarmed." ”

Wang Zhizheng knew very well in his heart that the Fushe Party was ready to unite and inherit the political resources left by the Donglin Party, first, to ensure that the interests of the Jiangnan chaebol would no longer be exploited by the imperial court, and second, to use the teacher-student relationship to manipulate the cabinet of the DPRK and China.

For Wang Zhizheng, who is extremely disgusted with party disputes, he resolutely disagrees with the reunion.

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Brother Zhang Pu, my attitude shows you that I don't approve of the union of the resumption of society, if you think it is necessary, I can't stop it as an idler." I won't be involved in this matter!"

As soon as Wang Zhizheng's words fell, Huang Zongxi came out and knelt on the ground and said: "Master Hou, I, Huang Zongxi, have been fighting with you and Wei Zhongxian since I was sixteen years old.

After hearing this, Wang Zhizheng stared at Huang Zongxi incredulously, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Pu beside him: "Brother Zhang Pu, what Tai Chong said, is it true?"

Zhang Pu smiled and nodded: "Yes, otherwise why would we discuss this matter with Lord Hou?"

Wang Zhizheng hurriedly stood up and paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back a few times, then turned around and said a little angrily: "You want to form an association, and I can't stop it, but why did you let me be the leader, is it easy for me to be idle?!"

Wang Zhizheng said this from the bottom of his heart, but Zhang Pu thought that Wang Zhizheng was polite.

He put down the folding fan in his hand and stood up and said to Wang Zhizheng sincerely: "Master Hou, now that the Restoration Society has been contacted, the first meeting will be held on March 25, if you don't agree, how will I deal with the social organizations?

Wang Zhizheng stared at Zhang Pu and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Pu, don't you know who I, Wang Zhizheng, are? If I covet power, I will not resign and go into hiding, and I finally get a light life, and I really don't want to cause so many troubles anymore." ”

Zhang Pu continued to advise: "Master Hou, we are just a reading club, and we are not an official position in the court, this is only good for your prestige but not harmful, what are you worried about?"

Wang Zhizheng was so stubborn that he continued to wave his hand: "I disappointed Brother Zhang Pu." It's not that you don't know the level of literature below, in fact, if the Fushe really has to be combined, you, Xia Yunyi, and Mr. Zhang Cai can all be competent, but it's really not good, and Qian Qianyi!"

Zhang Pu waved his hand: "Qian Qianyi can't do it, he is a courtier, and our Fushe does not accept Beijing officials, only Jiangnan scribes." Zhang Cai and Xia Yunyi and I are too young, and our qualifications are not enough, think about it, only you, Lord Hou, not only have the merit of eradicating the eunuch party and supporting the emperor, but also the Taifu who has retired from the court, and you can lead everyone to the right path by commanding the restoration of the society!"

Wang Zhizheng paced back to his seat, lifted his robe, sat down, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Actually, the age is not much different from yours, let this matter go for the time being, you didn't tell me in advance about such a big thing, it's always okay for me to think about it, right?"

Zhang Pu saw that Wang Zhizheng was a little relieved, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, then please ask Hou Ye to think about it for a few days, we also happen to rest in Tongcheng for a few days, then we will be thoughtful and decided, how about we rush to Songjiang together?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded: "It's okay." I'm not going to talk about it for now. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly, turned around and walked over to open the door, only to see Ruan Dacheng smile and said: "Gentlemen, the banquet has been arranged, please come with me to the banquet." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said, "I'm bothering the third uncle this time." ”
