When he was sick in his old age, how could he praise the new dynasty? ——From "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Yang Biao".

This sentence was originally Yang Biao's refusal to go out of Cao Wei, saying that how his old and sick people could help maintain the new dynasty.

Wei Gonggong quoted this sentence for another meaning - the court and the Chinese are all conservative and old-fashioned people, how can they be expected to help the country become stronger.

Restoration is the long-cherished wish of my father-in-law;

The Restoration does not need old people, but young and energetic people like my father-in-law, and even more so many young people in this house.

"Wei Gong!"

The appearance of Gonggong Wei surprised everyone in the house, and Cheng Zhengji and Sun Bixian stood up together and looked at Gong Wei excitedly.

In the hands of the two of them, without exception, they are holding a copy of "Wei Gongwen Collection"!

The green cover is very conspicuous.

Ruan Dacheng didn't hold the "Collection of Wei Gongwen" in his hand, but he held a thick stack of paper manuscripts, but he didn't know whether it was his recent experience of the spirit of Wei Gong's speech, or whether he listened to the conclusion of the business investigation arranged by Wei Gong in the southeast.

Seeing Father-in-law Wei coming in, the son of a wealthy man in Jiangnan almost subconsciously put a look of great admiration on his face.

He knew that the dead eunuch liked this.

"Sit, sit, sit,"

Grandpa Wei's gaze swept over everyone's faces, kind and kind. On Ruan Dacheng's face, he gave an extra three seconds.

My father-in-law saw a lot of acquaintances, in addition to Ruan Dacheng, Cheng Zhengji and Sun Bixian, there were also Lu Mingde, Jiang Tianxiu, Song Chengqing, Ge Xiuwen and other students who had studied in the Donglin study class.

These students all have two common characteristics, that is, when they participate in the study class, they are all famous, such as Cheng Zhengji, who has been awarded an official rank by Cheng Zhengji.

Another characteristic is that they are all Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli.

The oldest is 37 years old, and the youngest is only 25 years old.

It's really a group of energetic people.

Father-in-law Wei himself has no ability to take the imperial examination, so for these people who can be admitted to the Jinshi, regardless of whether what they have learned is conducive to the development of the country, he also admires it from the bottom of his heart.

He shook hands with these students one by one, accurately called out the names of each student, and even said where the other party was from, which made the students feel more cordial.

Whether they are older than their father-in-law or younger than him, in front of their father-in-law, every student is like a student standing in front of his teacher, his expression is so dignified and pious.

Xu Xianchun had never experienced the Donglin study class, so he couldn't understand the feelings of these students for Wei Gonggong, so he felt particularly incomprehensible about everyone's reaction when they saw Wei Gonggong.

"Duke Wei, everyone who can come is here, and if you can't come, you don't need them to come." As the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Mao Shilong, who was convened by the Jinshi and was responsible for maintaining direct contact with Gonggong Wei, said.

"Those who don't come, it's useless to force it, and the so-called Tao is different and doesn't conspire with each other."

Father-in-law Wei laughed, in the list that Mao Shilong compiled for him earlier, there were 23 Donglin students who participated in the forty-fourth year of Wanli Jinshi Examination, but only 8 people were present today, and the rest either didn't come for some reason or didn't want to have anything to do with Father-in-law Wei.

Or these people subconsciously don't want to mention their experience in the study class again, they want to forget, and they don't want people to know that they have such a past.

The root cause is nothing more than the eunuch of Wei Gongnai.

Wei Gong was going to rain on his side, and his mother was going to get married, so he went with them.

"We've been separated from you for three years, and you know, we want to kill you!"

Father-in-law Wei, who was very happy, talked about the past with the students again, and his words revealed the importance of the students and the blessing that they could embark on a career.

This made Song Chengqing and Ge Xiuwen even feel ashamed, because they did not choose to intern in the imperial army and the town guard yamen to observe politics, but returned to their hometown after the completion of their studies.

This is certainly because of their pursuit of the imperial examination, but it is not because they are afraid that any entanglement with the eunuch will ruin their reputation.

In officialdom, wind criticism can cost people's lives.

But they came today, and they came without hesitation, because they really understood the "Wei Gongwen Collection", and they also really understood what the experience of the study class meant to their lives.

As Gonggong Wei said, if you want to gain a foothold in the court, you must "form a gang", otherwise, it will be difficult for them to be a good official.

Those party officials are like mountains in front of them, and they can either join the same stream or can only stand still and watch them rise from tall buildings, while they can only live in rented houses.

So, they need to stick together!

At first, they were worried that the Wei Guild would be dissatisfied with them because of the events of the year, but now they were relieved, because the Wei Guild's expression clearly told them that he had never blamed them!

No matter where you are, no matter what choices you make, Wei Gong looks at you with a red heart!

What do those students who refuse to come know, they are just dolls in the eyes of Wei Gong.

"Gong Wei, in addition to the comrades of the study class, there are two newcomers who have come up to the mountain!" Mao Shilong said.

"Oh, which two?" When Wei Gong heard that there were still newcomers joining the gang, he was immediately even more happy.

Mao Shilong pointed to two young people in their thirties and introduced Wei Gong: "This is Yang Sichang, the director of the Fujian Department of the Ministry of Households, who is weak in words. This is Ma Shiying in Guizhou, the word Yaocao... But I didn't know how to try, and now I only make a name for myself..."

Gonggong Wei interrupted Mao Shilong's words, and said disapprerovingly: "Our family doesn't value fame or not, what our family values is like-mindedness, and what we value is speculation... Yang Wenweak, Ma Yaocao, good, good. ”

"I've seen Wei Gong!"

Yang Sichang and Ma Shiying, who was ten years younger than him, looked curiously at the very young Duke Wei in front of them, and the young nature of the other party made the two of them can't help but mutter, is the "Wei Gongwen Collection" really written by the other party?

Just as the two of them were muttering in their hearts, Father-in-law Wei had already extended a big hand of friendship to the two.

This etiquette made Yang Sichang and Ma Shiying very uncomfortable, but Mao Shilong was proud of shaking hands before, so the two hurriedly stretched out their hands.

"The Yang family is a father and son and two scholars, but it is a great story in this dynasty, and it is envious of the world." Sun Bixian said with a smile.

Yang Sichang's father Yang He is a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and Yang Sichang is a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli.

Father-in-law Wei also values Yang Sichang very much, because this person is a real handsome talent, and he has the ability to command thousands of troops and horses, which is not one or two times stronger than his father Yang He, who only knows how to appease, but a hundred times and a thousand times.

Ma Shiying's talent is not as good as Yang Sichang's, but his integrity is worthy of his father-in-law's high glance at him. Ma Shiying's status in the Southern Ming Dynasty was definitely able to get a high position, but he insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and martyrdom in Taihu Lake, which alone was 10,000 times stronger than several noble ministers in the southern capital.

Subscriptions are not as good as before, there are fewer and fewer paying readers, income has plummeted, yesterday I sold my beloved car for a living, to maintain the family expenses and repay part of the loan before the completion of this book, no debt, and I will write it down for all the officials. It seems that overnight it was back to when Han'er had a difficult start.
