An ordinary person has only one life, and an official has two lives, that is, natural life plus political life, the legend of the cat has nine lives, so the official who has one more life than ordinary people is infinitely close to the cat ‰ use to visit this site. When a cat sees its owner, it will be very docile, whether it is voice, appearance, or posture, it is impossible not to have a good impression, but when it comes to small animals weaker than it such as mice and sparrows, the docile cat will change its face and become a majestic and murderous tiger. In the same way, many officials will generally smile and curry favor when they meet their superiors who have the power to deal with their own future, and when they see ordinary people, they will naturally change their faces.

Another characteristic of cats is that they will look very lazy when they are full, and they will accept the sun if they have the conditions, and they will go to the pot stove door to turn around if they are not conditional, anyway, where there is heat. The same is true for officials, when they have enough to eat and drink, they must think about who they should be next to in the future, so that they can speculate and seek fame and fortune. Cats generally have to shake their fur when they have rested enough, indicating that they are going to catch mice, and the same is true for officials, who generally shake their majesty in a suitable place before rectifying themselves. Another characteristic of cats is that they can go up and down the branches of the house and will not fall ugly, and the same is true for officials.

If the owner does not like the cat, the most he can do is ignore it and let it get off his lap and stay aside, which envy the death of the perennial tired cow and the pig destined to repay the death. If an official receives a cold reception, at most, he sits on a cold bench and gradually marginalizes him, which is a very heavy punishment for officials who pay attention to political life, but even if they sit on a cold bench and are marginalized, their treatment is not bad, and it is several streets stronger than ordinary people who go out early and return late to earn hard-earned money.

Yang Lian is an official, and after being squeezed out by Wei Zhongxian, his political life was ended, and ordinary people would stop here, after all, it was nothing to win and be generous. But Wei Gonggong is not an ordinary person, he was born in the grassroots and has some decisive ability to dare to be ruthless, he is illiterate, it is estimated that he has not read Bai Juyi's poems, but he must understand the truth that "wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows", in line with the idea of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, he wants to arrest the more active Donglin Party members and end their natural and political lives.

Wei Zhongxian's actions are understandable from his own standpoint, the class struggle is life and death, either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and there is no room for reconciliation in between. However, Wei Zhongxian's doing this is also one of the reasons why the Donglin Party hates him the most, the Donglin Party now controls the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and has absolute power over the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials, and all of them can be called experts in the whole person, but Wei Zhongxian's practice of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots They can't do it, and this hatred contains both contempt for its methods and a taste of self-pity.

Yang Lian was one of the most victims, and he was almost completely destroyed by Wei Zhongxian from the **, it stands to reason that Wei Zhongxian should be hated the most, but now he actually said something that he didn't hate, which made Deng Yuhan who asked him very surprised, not only did he even understand the apocalypse and Wu Zhiwang, and they all looked at him with wide eyes, thinking that he was not a little sober in his head.

Yang Lian saw everyone's incomprehension, shook his head and explained: "Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, he has no culture, no morality and no ability, and he is not qualified to serve in the palace, how can he grasp the power?" It was a misfortune for the Ming Dynasty that he held great power to interfere in the government affairs, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate would never allow people like Wei Zhongxian to appear in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty in the future. ”

When everyone heard it, they immediately understood that what Yang Lian said was not hated because he hated it to the extreme, not only did he hate Wei Zhongxian, but he also hated such a person, and he had to find a way to prevent such a person from coming out to do bad things again by improving the system. From hating a person to hating the previous type of person, and finally being able to despise the person he hated no longer hates him because he is confident, this should be regarded as a great hatred of hatred.

Seeing that Yang Lian and Deng Yuhan came with him today, Tianqi wondered in his heart that he was confused by the rhetoric of Deng Yuhan and these Taixi people, so he asked, "What does Lord Yang think Wei Zhongxian is doing now?" ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said: "Dongchang is an institution personally managed by the emperor, and the emperor can approve it, and it is inconvenient for the minister to evaluate the minister." ”

Yang Lian said this not only to say that he didn't want to have anything to do with Wei Zhongxian, but also said that he didn't want to abolish the public for personal reasons≡ implying that he was just one of the emperor's dogs, and where to put him to bite people was your business, if you think he can continue to use it, I hate dogs from the bottom of my heart, especially the castrated dog you said.

Tianqi understood that Yang Lian didn't want to mention Wei Zhongxian more, and he also understood what he meant, nodded and didn't speak, who knew that there was another person next to him who didn't know how to get to the bottom of it, this was Deng Yuhan, who was also dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian. Deng Yuhan asked: "I don't understand what Lord Yang means by the ministers and the ministers, if there is no distinction between inside and outside, can Lord Yang say what Lord Wei did, right?" ”

Yang Lian is not a fool, and he doesn't want to be seen as a fool by others, today Deng Yuhan was the first to mention Wei Zhongxian, and he wanted to arouse Yang Lian's resentment with the same enemy several times in the middle, Yang Lian knew that if he didn't give these foreigners a little bit of power, they really thought that they would become the object of their casual instigation☆ Lian thought about it and said: "At the beginning, the emperor has already said that Wei Zhongxian sent people from Dongchang to follow you, and it is the emperor's intention to send people from Dongchang to follow you, if you abide by the law, the people of Dongchang will protect you." But if some of you have ill intentions, we also have a saying that we will fight evil with evil and fight poison with poison. ”

Yang Lian's words completely showed that he had no friendship with Deng Yuhan and these Taixi people, which made Tianqi very happy to hear it, and he saw that Deng Yuhan's face was a little not good-looking, so he said to Deng Yuhan: "A while ago, because I was sick, the imperial doctor in the palace had no forensic medicine, so I asked people who had learned some Taixi language to go to your library to find some books on Taixi medicine, and who knew that a manuscript was found in a certain volume. According to experience, many secret books of martial arts or medicine are copied by hand, who wants to translate this manuscript is written by a person named Bacon, the content is not a medical or martial arts secret book but some political commentary, does Mr. Deng know Bacon? ”

Deng Yuhan nodded and said: "After such a long time, His Majesty the Emperor should know that Tessie is not a country but a place, there are many countries in and behind the land of Tessie, Francis Bacon is a national of a country called Britain, and he put forward a slogan called 'Knowledge is power', which is what we admire him the most." He was not liked by Queen Elizabeth at the time, and there was an earl named Essex who valued him and supported him financially, but he remained loyal to the Queen and betrayed his benefactor friend and put him to death, and the general public did not understand that he thought that he had a problem with his personal character, but I think His Majesty the Emperor should like him very much. ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said: "There are many more kings of the Ming Dynasty than the kings of Taixi, but the kings of the Ming Dynasty do not have such a large kingdom land, and the female king of Britain should be lucky to have so much land∞ I really like Bacon, but it is not because he chooses loyalty to the country regardless of friendship, the earl named Essex should have done something disloyal to the country to let Bacon betray him, and my officials of the Ming Dynasty will also do what Bacon did. What Bacon did, most of my officials in the Ming Dynasty were able to do. ”

Deng Yuhan looked at Yang Lian and Wu Zhiwang with some disbelief, wanting to get a different reaction from them, because in his opinion, Bacon's betrayal was a bit unkind.

Wu Zhiwang looked at Deng Yuhan very calmly and said: "The education we have received since childhood is that the monarch, the ministers, the father, and the son, everyone understands from the heart that loyalty to the monarch is the first, and Mr. Deng does not have to have doubts. ”

Yang Lian also said: "The ancients said that the king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, and if he didn't die, he would be disloyal!" The ancients said that the righteousness of the relatives can be destroyed before the righteousness, and what is not to betray the friends? What's more, if you sacrifice small righteousness, you can't talk about betrayal. ”

Deng Yuhan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard the words of Wu Zhiwang and Yang Lian, he finally understood how it was so difficult for officials in the Ming Dynasty to be brainwashed by them, such people have been brainwashed by Confucianism since childhood, and loyalty to the country and the monarch is already an instinct. Deng Yuhan smiled bitterly and said: "I originally heard that an official was given a death by the emperor to thank him, and at first I felt that I didn't understand and felt a little absurd, but now it seems to be true." It's just that this monarch can execute his courtiers at will, which is a bit inhumane, and I don't think His Majesty the Emperor is kind and generous, like that. ”

Apocalypse said: "As an emperor, it is necessary to have that kind of power, so that you can ensure that you can make a decision immediately in the non-tide period, but an emperor can't easily kill a person casually, otherwise he will be the king of the Emperor, and the people will rise up to overthrow him ♀, which is why my Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory and only obeys my orders, but there are many kingdoms in the Taixi lands that kill each other and fight against each other." ”

Deng Yuhan nodded and asked, "At first, His Majesty the Emperor said that he liked bacon, but it was not because of his absolute loyalty to the monarch, so what was the reason?" ”

Apocalypse said, "Because those manuscripts, perhaps those manuscripts were written by Phogen himself, perhaps copied by his admirers, but there is a passage in them that is well spoken." It says that if an ordinary person does a bad thing is equivalent to staining a glass of water, and an official doing a bad thing is equivalent to soiling a water source, I think he makes sense ♀ in what he said, governing the country is divided into governing officials and governing the people, among which the ruler is more important, and Lord Yang can think about Bacon's sentence after he returns. ”

Yang Lian said: "The minister obeys the order! ”

Wu Zhiwang said at this time: "The minister began to hear the emperor say that because the imperial doctor was helpless against the emperor's slight illness, he wanted to read the Taixi medical book, and the minister usually often communicated with Mr. Deng and other people who understood medicine to discuss medical skills, why didn't I hear Mr. Deng talk about any medical books?" Isn't Mr. Tang willing to teach Thai-Western medicine? ”

Deng Yuhan said with some embarrassment: "I originally hid the book that His Majesty the Emperor mentioned at the beginning, and many people don't know about it, including Long Huamin, but His Majesty the Emperor has great powers to find that book, and it's not that I have any endangerment of you, Lord Wu." I think we often talk about medical skills in medical school, and I think that Daming medicine and Taixi medicine have their own strengths, Taixi medicine is good at specific diseases, and Daming medicine is good at systematic treatment. ”

Wu Zhiwang asked: "Leave the words of mutual praise for the time to talk about it, why does Mr. Deng even keep Long Huamin and them secret, I am very strange, please explain Mr. Deng." ”

Deng Yuhan said: "That book is called 'The Structure of the Human Body', it was written by a man named Vesalius by secretly dissecting the corpse of a criminal, and the church at that time forbade him to do so, and now even though he has been dead for decades, Jesus will not know the attitude of the Jesus, so I will bring it secretly." ”
