Chapter 162: Donglin Hardliners
The second uncle is happy, Mr. Sun is a good man, what he said must be right, yes, as long as he is a good student and serves the school brother, he will definitely be able to get ahead in the future!
Well, the day when you really have your own family to get ahead, you have to get along with Mr. Sun, he is the teacher of the school brother, and the school brother is also happy when he gets along with him.
The more the second uncle thinks about it, the happier he becomes, and the more he ponders, the more sure he becomes.
Why?
Because before Mr. Sun, there were two people who said the same thing to him.
One is a monk who saved his life, and the other is his family's eldest nephew, Liangchen.
The former is a high-ranking monk, the latter is a close relative, and now there is a heavenly qu star bonus, everyone unanimously says that the second uncle will get ahead in the future, can the second uncle be beautiful in his heart?
It's a lot of fun!
Yes, do your duty, do things steadfastly, and in the future, you can be worse than Zhang Bing who steals chickens?
Glory to the ancestors, glory to the ancestors...
With this joy, the second uncle jumped a few steps like a child from time to time on the way back, which made the school brother very happy.
.........
The second uncle was in Donggongle, but there was a person outside the chessboard street who looked at Yang Dahong's house in the distance and hesitated.
This person is Wang Wenyan, the eunuch of the Si Li Suitang and the eunuch of the East Palace, the private minister of Wang An's father-in-law.
Wang Wenyan has not been too smooth in Beijing in recent years, he was originally a prison official, and was later accused of self-theft by prison guards, but fortunately he was rescued from prison by Yu Yuli of Langzhong of the Criminal Department of the same township.
But he couldn't get along in his hometown, so he had to listen to Yu Youli's words and come to Beijing to help him investigate, and set up a stall at the Miaoying Temple at Fucheng Gate, writing a letter to people on the surface, but in fact, he was specifically inquiring about the movements of the court.
This errand is also suitable for Wang Wenyan, and he did a good job at first, Yu Youli valued him a lot, and specially helped him buy a prisoner status in Guozijian, and later instructed him to join the East Palace steward eunuch Wang Anmen.
With his wit and intelligence, Wang Wenyan was very valued by Wang An and was accepted as a private minister, and was specially responsible for the liaison affairs between Wang An and the Donglin Party. If it continues, it is difficult to say whether Wang Wenyan can directly connect with the Donglin Party, so as to use the power of the Donglin Party to seek an official position for him and obtain his place in the court.
It's a pity that Wang Wenyan's good times didn't last long, and what caused Wang Wenyan to go downhill was that his position as a middle scholar was topped.
This position of Zhongshu Sheren was specially asked by Wang An to help Shoufu Ye Xianggao operate, it was originally said to be good, but he didn't want to kill a Cheng Cheng to bite the gold halfway, and the position of Zhongshu Sheren originally scheduled for Wang Wenyan was actually awarded by the emperor to a young man named Wei Liangchen.
Although in the end, Wei Liangchen did not become a member of the middle school, but was reappointed as a member of the two palaces, and changed from an official to a non-entry, but Cheng Yanjin, who was inserted into the bar, also lost Wang Wenyan's official body.
Although Wang Wenyan was a little disappointed at the time, he also thought about it, thinking that it would be a big deal to ask the prince to operate an official body after a while.
But four years later, in addition to the identity of the prince and private minister, he Wang Wenyan is still a cloth cloth. Moreover, his weight in the princes was much lower than before.
The reason is that the prince has a new powerful helper, this person is named Cao Huachun, who is also a eunuch, but he is the "champion of the palace" in the study.
Since Cao Huachun entered Wang An's door, Wang An always likes to discuss with Cao Huachun on big and small matters, so he naturally snubbed Wang Wenyan.
In the court, because of the failure of the Donglin Party's Xinhai Jingcha, Li Sancai resigned and returned to his hometown, and the Qichu, Zhejiang, and Kunming parties were closely united, making it difficult for the Donglin Party to launch a big move. The parties that had been fighting for twenty or thirty years suddenly seemed to shake hands and make peace.
This is not a good thing for Wang Wenyan, if an outsider like him wants to enter the game for profit, the chess pieces in the game must be moved, otherwise, what is the matter with him?
Wang Wenyan was unwilling to be so ordinary, he came to Beijing not only to take refuge, but also to get ahead, so he wrote a letter to Yu Youli about the grievances in his heart.
Yu Youli, who was also a member of the Donglin Party, was also an ambitious person, and he immediately pointed out a way for Wang Wenyan, so that he could make friends with the upstarts of the Donglin Party in the name of Wang An's private ministers, and then take advantage of the differences between the upstarts and the veterans of Lin Qingliu in the east of Beijing to arouse their morale through various actions, so as to set off another party dispute, which is bound to turn the three major parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang into two parties, and then collapse them one by one.
Yu Youli unmistakably told Wang Wenyan that now the veteran ministers of Donglin are either limited by their status or due to their age, and they have no spirit at all. For example, the first assistant Ye Xianggao, since the independent auxiliary of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other parties have been tolerant and retreating, and they also have the intention of compromising with the emperor, so they ignore the interests of the party.
The most typical thing is that Donglin Academy called a eunuch to lead the troops to burn it, Ye Xianggao failed to fight with the emperor to kill the eunuch, but instead said in the party that he would take this opportunity to supplement the cabinet ministers in order to make political efforts.
This kind of rhetoric is called a minister's steady work, but in fact, he is unwilling to punish the evil spirit!
The "radical faction" in the Donglin Party was very dissatisfied with Ye Xianggao's approach, and Yu Youli was a member of this radical faction, and he was quite disappointed in Ye Xianggao and others, but he was very fond and appreciative of some of the new backbone members of the Donglin Party.
At present, among the capitals, if you want to say which ones are the "upstarts" of the Donglin Party, they are undoubtedly Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian. The latter is in the limelight even more than the previous one, and it is already faintly the new generation of leaders of Donglin.
Yu Youli hopes that Wang Wenyan can make friends with Yang Lian, thinking that he plans for the future.
After careful consideration, Wang Wenyan adopted Yu Youli's suggestion and believed that he must make friends with Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. But although he had contact with Yang, Zuo and others before, he was a one-sided friend, and only in the name of Wang An's personal minister, and had no official status, which would surprise him by asking to see Yang Lian, and Wang An was afraid that he would be dissatisfied after knowing it, so he thought of an excellent reason.
.......
Yang Lian's house is on Qipan Street, which is a treasure in Beijing, although it is not as good as the Gongzi Factory where the officials and nobles live, but it is also where the high housing prices in Beijing are.
Of course, Yang Lian was an official in Beijing in the name of the world's most honest official, so he could not and must not have the money to buy a house on Qipan Street, so this house was given to him by Zou Yuanbiao, the patriarch of the Donglin Party.
Back then, when Yang Lian was studying, it was the time when the Donglin Party was flourishing, and he admired Gu Xiancheng and others very much for their integrity in taking the world as their own responsibility, not fearing power, and daring to discuss the government.
Whenever he encounters a lecture in Donglin, Yang Lian must do everything possible to rush to Wuxi to discuss the study of sex and reason with the gentlemen of Donglin and discuss the way to govern the country.
Like-minded with each other, and gradually became the rising star of the Donglin Party, into the eyes of Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao and other Donglin bigwigs, after which Yang Lian was sent to Changshu, where the Donglin nest is located, as an official, he was promoted to the household department in the name of "the world's first honest official" in less than a year, and behind all this is the gang of bigwigs in operation.
Today, Yang Lian's house seems to be the meeting place of the Jinglin Party, or the meeting place of the new generation of backbones of the Donglin Party.
Zuo Guangdou, Hui Shiyang, Zhou Chaorui, He Erjian, Wei Dazhong, and the dignitaries and upstarts of the Donglin Party in Kedao are all frequent visitors to this house.
When Wang Wenyan arrived, two carriages were parked outside the house.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Wenyan finally walked to Yang Lian's house and knocked on the door gently. After a while, a servant came to open the door, Wang Wenyan handed over the name sticker, and the servant accepted it and went to report to the master. After a while, he replied to invite Wang Wenyan in.
After Wang Wenyan entered, he went to the living room of the Yang family with the servant, and before he could get there, he heard someone say: "Wu Yong, the governor of Sichuan, first played a victory to the imperial court, saying that Jianchang won a great victory. ”
"This is a matter of the military department, you don't ask the good children, ask me what this household department does?" The voice was very loud, and Wang Wenyan was also familiar, and when he heard it, he knew that it was Yang Lian, the owner of this house and the upstart of Donglin.
Good children?
Wang Wenyan searched for this name in his mind, and knew that it was Xiong Mingyu in the military department.
"In the 40th year of Wanli, Sichuan Jianchang had an incident, and the imperial court ordered Liu Wei to be the chief military officer and lead the army to suppress it. Liu Wei then led the political Wang Zhiji and others, the troops were divided into eight routes, Liu Wei was in the middle of the control, successively captured Tongchu, Shen Zha, Adu, Xiabu, Yuebei Zhuzhai, after 56 battles, beheaded more than 3,300 people, captured 975 people, obtained more than 2,840 cattle, horses and sheep, countless battles, Sichuan governor Wu Yongxian said in the good news that the nest has been empty, it is a rare victory in our dynasty in recent years. It was Xiong Mingyu who spoke in the military department, who had been to Jianzhou in eastern Liaodong three years ago.
"Liu Wei fought for two years, and only killed more than 3,300 people, and the surname Wei was only ten months, so he killed more than 10,000 people?" A voice in the room questioned.
"Jianchang is under the rule of my Ming Dynasty, Sichuan is called counterinsurgency, Dongfan is an overseas desert island, although I have a Penghu Inspection Division, but Yu Dongfan has not been governed, how is this a counterinsurgency? And the army of Emperor Nalaoshzi is not under the jurisdiction of our military department at all, and who in the court can control him, and which one of the men he reported! ”
Xiong Mingyu couldn't get angry when he thought of the Wei She person who embarrassed him, and the only thing that could make him feel a little relieved was that the kid was castrated.
Someone slapped the table with the sound of the "horn" and said: "Wei Eunuch relied on His Majesty's favor and trust, regarded the forbidden army as a forbidden army, and transferred it without going through the court, and even committed murder overseas, killing innocents indiscriminately, killing good and risking merit, but came to report to the court to invite merit, these people are really lawless!" ...”
Yang Lian, who is familiar with him, often compares him to a "tiger", and when he encounters injustices, he often takes up the case, giving people a feeling of being a tiger and a tiger. His speech is more like Hong Zhong, between a beat and a drink, it is described as a sonic shock roof tile, which is really not too much at all.
"What Da Hong said is that a Korean envoy came to Beijing a few days ago, crying that the Wei eunuchs had plundered North Korea, and the Ministry of Rites had sent someone to investigate, if it is true, I will impeach this Wei eunuch tomorrow, please Your Majesty remove this person and withdraw the pro-army, otherwise wouldn't everyone of my Ming vassals be in danger and regard my Ming Dynasty as a treacherous and unrighteous country!"
