Chapter 408: Burning the Governor's Yamen
Huiji Mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mountains and rivers are connected, green trees are in the shade, clear water and blue waves, and the scenery is picturesque.
Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others, plus Wang Wei, Liu Mei and other famous prostitutes, sat in the high pavilion, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, the breeze came slowly, the piano sang and danced, so uncomfortable.
Due to the blockade of the news in the capital, the news of the collapse of the Donglin Party has not yet reached Zhejiang/Jiangsu, recently they have been climbing the mountain, drinking at noon, swimming in the river at dusk, and staying in the Qinglou at night, which is really hearty and happy.
Zhang Pu drank a little too much, his face was flushed, he was wandering, dragging his long sleeves, and singing there: "Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, endless autumn colors, talking about the Han Tent of the Qin Palace, Yaotai Yinque, the long sword leaning on the sky outside the fog, and the treasure light hangs on the side of the smoke and dust!" Clap your sleeves to the stars, and the news will stop. The dragon and tiger roared, the phoenix cloud cried, and the eternal hatred, Pinghuai said. The mountains and rivers are stubborn, and the tears are stained with blood. Bianshui blows the Qiang pipe flute at night, and Luan Yu walks the old Liaoyang. Smash the spit pot and ask the toad, what is the lack of roundness? ”
Wang Wei and other famous prostitutes were not embarrassed, and sat beside the piano with a high voice, and the sonorous and powerful music sounded, and there were bursts of applause in this pavilion.
After a long while, Zhang Pu stopped, sat on the stone bench, looked at Wang Wei, and said with a red smile: "It's called Wang Gongzi a joke." ”
Wang Wei's men's clothes, the shape is also like a man, and he said: "Why should Brother Zhang be humble, this is his true temperament, if the princes of the court have half of Brother Zhang, how can the world be here!" ”
Liu Mei and Wang Wei are also dressed similarly, with a white Confucian shirt and a long scarf hanging in front of him, and said: "Today's situation is erosive, all the princes are stupid, Brother Zhang must not be discouraged, when he works hard, he will go to high school every day, and ascend to a high position, but he can wash away the decadent color, and he will be bright and bright!" ”
Zhang Pu listened to the words of the two 'beauties', and was quite proud in his heart, and sighed with shame on his face: "Let the two virtuous brothers laugh, for the brother is shallow in learning, and he has tried and failed. ”
Wang Wei looked at Zhang Pu's face with a gray look, his pretty face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, don't be discouraged, the more you are like this, the more you should forge ahead!" The little sister is not as knowledgeable as Brother Zhang, and she has no long things, but she has some silver taels, and she is willing to use it for Brother Zhang to catch the exam! ”
Wang Wei knew Zhang Pu's family background, he was a concubine, and he was extremely unvalued, so he was very short on hand, which was a tactful help.
Zhang Cai watched from the sidelines, with a flash of jealousy in his eyes.
Wang Wei didn't take out the money now, indicating that he wanted Zhang Pu to go to her small building for the night to spend the night!
Zhang Pu knew Wang Wei's personality very well, so he deliberately said what he had just said, and when he saw that Wang Wei really hit the plan, he was happy in his heart, but he waved his hand again and again: "Thank you, but the foolish brother is not lacking these, what is lacking is a bright and prosperous world, and what is lacking is a prosperous and prosperous era!" ”
Wang Wei listened to his words, his face became more and more admired, and he said firmly: "The little sister is humble and can't enter the door of the Zhang family, if Brother Zhang doesn't take it, the little sister will wait outside the door of the Zhang family every day!" ”
Zhang Pu smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed.
Liu Mei is different from Wang Wei, Wang Wei is really talented and learned, and he also walks around West Lake and Qinhuai for a long time, with a loud reputation and bright vision.
She followed Wang Wei cheekily, just to increase her worth. Seeing that Wang Wei took Zhang Pu under her skirt, her eyebrows were like waves, she looked at Zhang Cai, and said softly: "Brother must not give up, and he is a true gentleman who is not afraid of difficulties." ”
Zhang Cai liked Wang Wei quite much in his heart, but when he looked at Liu Mei, he took a closer look, and found that he was also a charming character, and said with a smile in his eyes: "What I said is that today I only talk about Fengyue, not anything else, drink!" ”
Several people also have this intention, indulging in singing and talking about poetry and songs.
Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, with a literary style like a tide and extravagant and picturesque.
Suddenly, a person who looked like a small guy rushed up, pulled Zhang Pu, who was too drunk with more than half of the wine, and said urgently: "Young master, young master wake up, something is wrong, the master asked me to take you back!" ”
Zhang Pu's wine woke up most of the time in an instant, he was very afraid of his uncle, who not only controlled his 'money', but also determined his future, looked at this little guy and said: "What's wrong, did uncle say anything?" ”
The little guy glanced at the others, and saw that they were all acquaintances, so he said impatiently: "Young master, talk while walking, the other sons should also hurry back, something is wrong." ”
When Zhang Cai, Wang Wei and others heard this, they all came over curiously, asking the little guy to understand.
The little guy knew the seriousness of the matter, and while pulling Zhang Pu away, he said: "All the sons hurry back, the governor yamen has issued an announcement, saying that the imperial court will abolish the imperial examination and implement the literary academy system, and all those who form associations and parties will never be entered!" ”
When they heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they didn't care about what to say to the little guy, so they quickly went home.
Wang Wei and Liu Mei were also anxious, but it was useless to go back, so they stood for a while, and each of them asked for advice from the familiar 'Xianggong'.
Zhang Pu hurriedly returned to the mansion, an old man with white hair sat in the lobby, with a rattan beside him, and on both sides of the lobby, there were more than 20 people of all ages.
The Zhang family has been an official eunuch for generations, and the old man sitting in the main hall is named Zhang Fuzhi, eighty-one this year, the official is still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the fifth year of the Apocalypse.
He watched Zhang Pu walk in coldly, and his old face showed a fierce color. Zhang Pu is not his parent, but his nephew, because he is a concubine, he is extremely unvalued, and the people of the Zhang family have been repeatedly bullied.
Zhang Pu walked in, his eyelids jumped, he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, walked in, raised his hand and said, "Uncle." ”
Zhang Fuzhi took the rattan, slammed it on the ground, and said coldly, "Kneel!" ”
Zhang Pu knelt down in response, with a thought flashing in his heart, and said stubbornly: "Uncle, the court is stupid, and my nephew is just ......."
Syllable!
Zhang Fuzhi directly pumped it over, and said coldly: "Presumptuous! My Zhang family has been loyal for generations, but virtuous and virtuous! It's good for you, not to mention gathering crowds to make trouble, forming a refuge society, arguing about the government in vain, slandering the court officials, and leading the mob to forcibly break into the Su/Prefecture Yamen and drive out the prefect, who taught you this, who gave you the courage! ”
Zhang Pu is a scholar after all, a rattan stick was pumped on his body, it hurt hotly, he gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle, at the moment of national disaster, the husband is behind, how can we watch!" My nephew has already contacted Xuezheng, and the Su/state magistrate will be promoted next year, and he will be ......"
Zhang Pu's Fushe was not a simple non-governmental student organization, but through the collusion of friends, it was extended to the officialdom, and the imperial examinations in Jiangsu/Zhejiang were almost infiltrated. Although it is far inferior to the historical resumption of the Society's control of the imperial examination, the control of the court, and even the replacement of cabinet assistants, it has also begun to take shape.
Syllable!
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fuzhi pulled it down again, and he didn't stop pumping, his tone was faintly murderous, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard!" The 'nine' is all over the world, do you think I can't see it? Which one has brought disaster to the country and the people? Which one suppressed the world's soldiers? You think I don't know what you're thinking? If you want to ascend to the sky in one step, you can become the first assistant of the cabinet in one step! ”
Zhang Pu shrunk there, full of unwillingness, in his opinion, Zhang Fuzhi is just a corrupt bureaucrat, the Ming Dynasty needs to reform, it needs to get rid of these old officials who are 'for the country'!
He knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Zhang Fuzhi smoked for a while, and he was also sad about Zhang Pu's misfortune and angry with him, but if the Zhang family wanted to continue, Zhang Pu couldn't have an accident. He threw away the rattan, looked at Zhang Pu who was trembling coldly, and said coldly: "Lock him up for me, you are not allowed to leave the house without my permission!" ”
"Yes!" Jia Ding walked in and dragged Zhang Pu out.
Zhang Fuzhi took a breath, glanced at the people in the lobby again, and scolded: "You will all give me an honest study in the mansion in the future, if anyone goes out to make trouble again, I will break your legs!" ”
Zhang Fuzhi said everything in the Zhang family, and a group of juniors listened honestly.
Zhang Fuzhi sat there and took a breath, then glared and said, "Prepare the gift, prepare the car, and go to the governor's yamen." ”
"Yes." Own family arrangement.
At the same time, such scenes are happening in many mansions, but the people are changed and the lines are changed.
Some have a hard top, some bow their heads, and some are like Zhang Pu, who are not hard tops or bow their heads.
For example, Gu Yanwu, such as Chen Zilong.
The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north, and the situation that has emerged is also strange. A cadre of young scholars was the main force of opposition to the political reform, while the old bureaucrats became supporters of the political reform.
With their support, or perhaps the trend of the times, Zhejiang/Jiangsu's political reform has been surprisingly smooth, according to the judicial department, the political department has been merged, and the county governments are also undergoing a major reform.
But in just half a month, a fire broke out in the night of the governor's yamen, burning in all directions, burning for more than an hour, burning more than 20 people, including two five-grade and one fourth-grade, all of whom were members of Zhejiang/Jiang officialdom, and the chaotic people took the opportunity to attack, and the governor Zhou Weijing was escorted by the guards and rushed out of the fire and fled to Hangzhou/Prefecture to live temporarily.
Zhejiang/Jiang was shocked, and the world was shocked.
