Chapter 539: Reformers
When Xin Qiji and Peng Guinian walked to the Imperial City Division, they happened to hear Wu Juan and Lin Guangchao surrounding Zhu Xi, and listened to Zhu Xi talk about his views on the reformers.
And in and out of Zhu Xi's words, he is naturally also full of contempt for the reformers, especially when mentioning Xin Qiji, Zhu Xi shows his noble side as an orthodox Song person.
In his opinion, the reason why Xin Qiji tirelessly tried to curry favor with him and get close to him was that he hoped to use his influence and the trust of the world's humanities to correct his name and gain the recognition of the literati for him, so as to eliminate everyone's bad impression of Xin Qiji's identity as a reformer.
After all, in this era, for a scholar, fame and fortune obviously care more about fame, and Xin Qiji, a returnee with the identity of a reformer, wants to really blend into the circle of literati and writers in the Southern Song Dynasty and become a real Southern Song Dynasty person, just like a student from a prestigious university who wants to graduate, he must have a graduation certificate.
Although there is no graduation certificate to prove that he has enough qualifications to truly enter the circle of literati in the Southern Song Dynasty, with Zhu Xi's influence and prestige on the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as he says a word, as long as Zhu Xi recognizes Xin Qiji's identity, then Xin Qiji is like a student who graduated from a prestigious university, and he will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort when he finds a job.
Did he do this to dispel other people's perceptions of him? Although I'm not a reader, I don't understand the big truth, it's pure nonsense, I think...... In my opinion, there is no need for a person to live in this world to care too much about the world's eyes, right? As long as you are acting upright and sitting upright, and you are loyal to the court, why should you care about your identity as a reformer? Wu Juan stepped on the edge of the chair, looking completely out of step with the reader, and said with a wine glass in one hand.
Zhu Xi looked at the appearance of the reckless man and smiled, slowly picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth to chew slowly, then put down his chopsticks and thought about it: "It's not that the old man is careful to spend the belly of the gentleman, but the purpose of this Xin Qiqi is that he is close to the old man, just to use the old man to say something for him, so as to pave the way for him to rise in the official career and clear all obstacles." The reformed people can be reused, but after the current saint inherits the throne, when the emperor is still a saint, how many reformers are valued, why? ”
"How do I know where to go? Don't look at me like this, I'm not too much of an old man. Looking at Zhu Xi's eyes, he pondered the martial judgment that he didn't understand for a long time, and hurriedly put down the wine glass and said with a weak heart.
"It is said that since Emperor Taizu, our dynasty has set the tone for my Great Song Dynasty to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts, although this statement is true, but don't you know what happened to Emperor Taishang after he led the imperial court to go south?" Zhu Xi asked in a low voice.
Wu Juan and Lin Guangchao glanced at each other, and almost at the same time spoke: "Miao Liu mutiny? ”
"Yes, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan forced the Emperor Taishang to take the throne for the sake of the Qing monarch, and this matter is ...... for the Emperor Taishang." Zhu Xi pointed to his heart and said: "I have left an indelible pain and shadow, so I naturally distrust the generals even more." Don't forget, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan both followed the Emperor Taishang all the way to the south, and they should be loyal to the Emperor, but in the end, they didn't have bad intentions? ”
"Oh, I see, what do you mean...... Even the emperor who has been by his side can't be trusted, let alone a reformed person like Xin Qiji, who has returned from the north, naturally he can't trust more. Lin Guangchao suddenly realized.
The military judge on the side waited for Lin Guangchao to finish speaking, and hurriedly retorted: "Mr. didn't mean that, Mr. meant ...... Is that the ...... Mr. is afraid that after Xin Qiji's illness, what if Xin Qiji's hands are heavy in the future, he will be like Miao and Liu? Let's not talk about what will happen to the court, at least Mr. can't get out of it, right? After all, is it Mr. You are the one who gave Xin Qijian a guarantee, and the imperial court will not be able to arrest him to the Imperial City Division for questioning at that time? ”
Zhu Xi listened to the words of the military judge, and his dark face, which was still smiling, suddenly turned extremely blue: "Boy, you tell the old man, where is the old man now?" Does the old man have to wait until that time to be misunderstood? Isn't it in the Imperial City Division now, is it still in the brothel of the Qinglou! Hum! ”
Wu Juan and Lin Guangchao looked at Zhu Xi, whose face was full of iron, and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "Two different things, two different things, today's events and things that have not yet happened are naturally not comparable...... ”
"But even so, even if the old man is cautious everywhere and cautious in making friends, isn't he still caught by Ye Qing in the Imperial City Division? If the old man really has anything to do with that reformed man, and corrects his name in front of the people of the world, I am afraid that what the old man can enjoy now is not the good food and wine on this table, but the dark and damp dungeon, right? Zhu Xi said with a displeased face.
"It's ......." The military judge and Lin Guangchao glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to speak for a while, and finally the military judge said: "But it's not right for you to frame our commander, murdering Fan Niande, this is not a small crime, is it?" ”
"Whether he does it or not, he knows it best in his heart, maybe your hearts are like mirrors, the Imperial City Division, Wuyi Lane, is there a more mysterious, dark, and secluded place than here? What's more, if you Imperial City Division, if you want to die alone, you can naturally do it without knowing it, this old man...... If there is enough ironclad evidence in hand, he will never let him go Ye Qing! Zhu Xi looked sad, although he said that he made friends with Fan Niande at the beginning, partly because Fan Niande was able to provide financial support to him, a poor scholar, but a more important part is that Fan Niande has a similar personality with him, although some things are not used to his actions, but in terms of learning, I have to say that Fan Niande and him have the same ideas and views.
As the saying goes, the soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases himself, although Zhu Xi will not break the piano like Boya, but he witnessed his friend being framed by someone and drowning, but he couldn't ask for justice, and the grief and indignation in his heart can be imagined.
Peng Guinian glanced at the side from time to time with a look of joy or worry, but Xin Qiji, who frowned, didn't know whether to be happy or embarrassed.
He believes that after hearing these words today, Xin Qiji will definitely not entangle Zhu Xi in the future, and from now on, Xin Qiji should be farther and farther away from Zhu Xi, but what is slightly embarrassing is that Zhu Xi did not say these words in front of Xin Qiji, so what he did was not a gentleman's doing.
Just when Xin Qiji and Peng Guinian listened to the conversation between Zhu Xi and the two Imperial City generals inside, and hesitated whether to go in, noisy footsteps suddenly sounded behind them, making Xin Qiji and Peng Guinian, who were not only standing at the door, turn around in an instant, but even the three people in the room, Zhu Xi, Wu Juan, and Lin Guangchao, also followed the footsteps and looked at the door of the hall.
Li Heng's expression was solemn, and he walked over to this side with Song Qian behind him and several Imperial City Priests.
The martial judge and Lin Guangchao in the room, when they saw Li Heng walking over quickly, they couldn't help but stand up, at this time, Lin Guangchao should have been in the Shenjin Army, but he still appeared in the Imperial City Division, which was by no means a pleasant thing for the new deputy commander Li Heng.
"Why are you here?" Li Heng frowned, and he could obviously feel that the moment he saw Lin Guangchao, the look on Li Heng's face was much colder than just now, and his eyes instantly became sharper.
Zhu Xi was still sitting at the table, looking at Li Heng who came in quietly, he knew a little about the dispatch of court officials, especially the personnel changes in the Imperial City Division, because of Li Heng's relationship.
After all, if Li Heng wants to sit in the position of deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, he must have someone to leave, and it is obviously impossible for Guan Li, the eunuch in front of the saint, to leave, so the one who makes way for Li Heng can only be the one named Lin Guangchao in front of him.
"I happened to come to the Imperial City Division to get some things, and I was in a hurry, and neither the head of the house nor the department had time to clean up, so I came over." Lin Guangchao didn't treat himself as an outsider, and stretched out his hand to invite Li Heng to come in and sit down and talk.
Li Heng ignored Lin Guangchao's gestures, silently glanced at the military judge, and then turned to Zhu Xi, the look on his face changed from the coldness just now, and suddenly changed to a warm and humble smile and saluted: "Mr. Zhu, I am here to ask you to leave the Imperial City Division." ”
"Oh? So Ye Qing was willing to let go of the old man so early? I thought I would have to lock up the old man for a few days. Zhu Xi said with some surprise, and only then did he notice Peng Guinian and Xin Qijian at the door, and Xin Qijian and Peng Guinian probably came with Li Heng.
Seeing that Li Heng was about to take Zhu Xi away, Lin Guangchao naturally had no right to stop him, but Wu Ju obviously had this right, after all, before receiving Ye Qing's order, he would never let anyone take Zhu Xi away from the Imperial City Division.
"Commander Li, the person was captured by Commander Ye, if Commander Li wants to take people away directly, I also hope that Commander Li can show ......."
"What? Could it be that I, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, can't take a person away? Do you want to ask for instructions? Li Heng's face sank, straightened up the body that had saluted Zhu Xi just now, and said coldly to the military judge.
"The last general doesn't dare, but the last general is ordered by Commander Ye to supervise the criminals, if Deputy Commander Li wants to take people away directly, the last general is afraid...... When the time comes, if Commander Ye asks, the last general can't afford it. Wu Juan looked directly at Li Hengdao, whose expression had become gloomy.
"I'll explain this to Commander Ye when I get back to it, so you don't have to worry about it. Someone, please go back to your home. Li Heng turned his head and said to the janitor behind him.
"Wait." The martial judge walked forward quickly, stopped Zhu Xi behind him, looked directly at Li Heng, whose expression was getting colder and colder, and said-for-tat: "Unless Deputy Commander Li takes out Commander Ye's handwritten documents, or...... Deputy Commander Li can also step on the corpse of the last general and then take Zhu Xi away. ”
The military judge bit the deputy character of Deputy Commander Li very hard, as if reminding Li Heng that the Imperial City Division was not his turn to call the shots now.
"I have here Commander Ye's handwritten paperwork." Xin Qiji was in a-for-tat confrontation with Li Heng, seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more tense, and even at the moment when he was about to do something if he didn't agree, he walked over and took out the handwritten document that Ye Qing gave him.
