I found that there was one less chapter in the seventh volume before I found it, and I hereby make up :)

——————

The more Gao Panlong spoke, the more angry he became, and he said sharply: "Ye Fuqing, as long as you and I take the lead in writing a joint letter and copying all the people in Donglin in the world, the old man dares to guarantee with the head of the Xiang, and he will definitely be able to force the emperor to change his mind and recall us to return to the imperial court." ”

Ye Xianggao saw that he was angry and didn't know how to speak.

Sun Yueling couldn't help it, and interjected: "Lord Gao, this matter must not be, it will definitely trap Donglin in fire and water, and cause disaster for Donglin!" ”

Gao Panlong glared at Sun Yueling with a pair of thin eyes, and shouted angrily at Sun Yueling: "What did you say? ”

Sun Yueling did not avoid his aggressive gaze at all, and said calmly: "Lord Gao, what Elder Fang Cai said is the words of Jin Yu, all for the sake of my overall situation in Donglin. The reason why the Son of Heaven gave up on me Donglin is that he is disgusted by what we have done, and if we still adopt the same way as we used to admonish and force the palace, I am afraid that all Donglin people will not die well and will be persecuted to death by the eunuchs......"

After the defeat of the Donglin Party in history, it was because he did not know how to converge, continued to form a party in the south of the Yangtze River, and ruled the government remotely, only to finally end up with all the annihilation and death, since Sun Yueling knew the trend of history, how could he watch Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others dig their own graves, raised their voices, and continued, "What the old man said is very reasonable, this time and that time, the reason why I Donglin was able to return to the temple was because of the collapse of Guangzong, the Son of Heaven was young, and now I am waiting to implement the law of the year, It will definitely bring the disaster of destruction to Donglin......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shunchang slapped the table, stood up and pointed at him and scolded: "Nonsense, big talk, Lord Gao and the elder of the pavilion are talking, when will it be your turn to interject?" ”

As soon as he said this, Sun Yueling's face was a little unbearable, at this time he was still an official in the court after all, and Zhou Shunchang was just a commoner, so ruthless, he simply didn't take him, a backward official of Donglin, in his eyes.

What kind of character is he, how could he allow Zhou Shunchang to be so insulted? Moreover, Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others were all present at this time, if he was willing to be reprimanded by him, how would he gain a foothold in front of them in the future, he also slapped it heavily on the table, stood up, and shouted at Zhou Shunchang: "Zhou Shunchang, you don't want to be noisy, are you still less than the Donglin people who plague us?" If it weren't for your insistence on going your own way and forcibly forcing the palace, how could the emperor agree to the old man of the pavilion, and my master Li Ruobing would not have been banished from Beijing! The reason why Donglin has today's situation is all thanks to you! ”

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't expect the two of them to go crazy on the spot and reprimand each other.

"Okay, you Sun Yueling!" Zhou Shunchang didn't expect him to dare to speak out, so he was furious, pointed at him and continued to scold, "A gangster in the market, a treacherous person, a dog is not as good as a dog, he dares to bark in the middle of the clear stream, and he doesn't look for a mirror to take a good look at his image, it's really shameless!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Yueling was already so angry that his face was flushed, and his blood was rushing to his brain, since he was attached to Donglin, except for the eunuchs who would make a big fuss about his life experience, no one would be so despised by him at all. Zhou Shunchang, as a cadre of the Donglin Party, even ridiculed his humble background, which has never happened since he entered Donglin.

was about to sneer at each other, but he heard Han Qiaoshui stand up from the next table and shout: "Bold, Zhou Shunchang, what is your identity now, you dare to shout at the adults of my family, believe it or not, I will punish you?" ”

Zhou Shunchang squinted, saw that it was Han Xiaoshui, and said coldly: "What? Do you want to deceive us and others because you have an official position? This is Suzhou, not Fujian, Zhou Zhongcheng has not yet expressed his position, when will it be your turn to speak? ”

His words circled Zhou Qiyuan again, and Zhou Qiyuan couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Gao Panlong smiled coldly and said: "What a deputy envoy for punishment and prosecution, he actually shook the official authority to the ground in Jiangsu, it is not in vain that I waited for you to be vigorously promoted in the court back then, amazing, amazing!" ”

Gao Panlong said this, but Sun Yueling felt frightened, and couldn't help but calm down, knowing that this was an extraordinary time, why bother with Zhou Shunchang, so he said: "Lord Gao is serious, what the officials said just now comes from the bottom of their hearts, all for the sake of the overall situation of Donglin, at this time, we can only wait patiently, in order to turn defeat into victory, and return to the government, I hope that the Lord understands my hard work." ”

Unexpectedly, Gao Panlong laughed and said: "The old man is no longer in the court, Lord Sun still don't call the old man an adult, the old man can't afford it." Besides, Lord Sun received the emperor's holy grace and personally bestowed the decree on you, this kind of glory is also beyond the reach of the old man, and he admires it! ”

Sun Yueling felt even more cold when he heard this, and he couldn't speak anymore. Gao Panlong in front of him not only showed no mercy to him, but also took the emperor's decree to him, which was clearly not at all affectionate, completely ignoring his existence.

The situation in the field turned to this point, even Ye Xianggao was unexpected, he said with a smile: "Everyone, you and I are both fellow practitioners, you can discuss things slowly, why make a big fuss, come, eat something first and then it's not too late!" ”

Zhou Qiyuan and Qian Qianyi hurriedly persuaded: "That's it, everyone is from Donglin, why make it so unpleasant, Lord Zhou, Lord Sun, sit down and talk, sit down and talk......"

Sun Yueling and Zhou Shunchang glared at each other, and then they sat down separately.

After eating and drinking for a while, Gao Panlong and Zhou Shunchang no longer cared about Ye Xianggao and Sun Yueling at this time, but just turned their heads to Zhong Buli, Qian Qianyi and others, as if they no longer existed.

Only Ye Xianggao's fellow Zhou Qiyuan felt very embarrassed, and asked Zhang Tie and Yang Tingshu to toast Ye Xianggao and Sun Yueling, but after some argument just now, Sun Yueling sensitively found that Zhang Tie and Yang Tingshu's attitude towards them was obviously different from before, and they were much colder, although they were not contemptuous, they always deliberately kept their distance, and they were no longer as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning.

Sun Yueling sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the influence of Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others in Jiangnan is still extremely huge, and after they strongly inserted themselves into the game, even the attitude of the leaders of Xiao Donglin was swayed by them.

After the banquet was more than halfway through, Gao Panlong saw that Ye Xianggao had never expressed his position, knowing that he did not agree with his concept and did not plan to act with them, and his heart became more and more angry. When he came here today, he thought that Ye Xianggao must be extremely unhappy when he left the center, as long as he vigorously persuaded him, he would definitely be able to persuade him to follow his own methods. Unexpectedly, Ye Xianggao had lost his ambition and was indifferent to returning to the imperial court.

Gao Panlong sneered in his heart, Zhao Nanxing was really not wrong back then, Ye Xianggao was a villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and was timid and repeated, so he turned to him and said: "Since Lord Shoufu plans to return to his hometown to retire and enjoy the joy of teasing Sun, then we won't bother Shoufu and say goodbye!" So saying, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Brother Yuncong!" Ye Xianggao's old eyes suddenly became sincere, and he said to Gao Panlong, "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, you have worked hard in the court for half your life, and you can enjoy the joy of family with your family, why bother......"

Gao Panlong waved his sleeves and interrupted him: "You don't need to say anything more, things are promising, how can I retreat like you?" Let's go! He stood up and led the way to the stairs.

Gao Panlong got together, Zhou Shunchang, Zhong Buli and others also stood up and bowed to Ye Xianggao to retreat first.

Gao Panlong walked to the top of the stairs, suddenly turned to Zhang Pu and said, "Didn't Qiandu always want to open a lecture hall in Wuxi?" Mr. Zhong is here today, and he may be able to help you. ”

Zhang Jian hesitated for a while when he heard this, Gao Panlong did this, undoubtedly asking them to go in court, which was very rude, but in order to be able to carry forward the Ying Society, meet their peers, and open a study hall in Wuxi, it was their heart's wish, and now Gao Panlong and Zhong Buli could help them, which made him feel very moved.

Seeing that he hesitated, Zhong Buli said at the right time, "I am also very yearning for the retro learning of the Society, if Mr. can come to Nanjing to give a lecture, I will let the dog worship Mr. Tou, and learn the art of scripture and righteousness with Mr. ”

This sentence was even more tempting, Zhang Pu couldn't hold it anymore, and exchanged glances with Yang Tingshu, then got up and said goodbye to Ye Xianggao, Zhou Qiyuan, and Qian Qianyi.

Even though Qian Qianyi and Zhou Qiyuan were unhappy in their hearts, they couldn't stop it, so they had to watch them go with Gao Panlong.

Soon, there was only one table left above the restaurant, and only Qian Qianyi and Zhou Qiyuan were still accompanied.

Things have developed to this point, and everyone only feels that the food is tasteless, so after chatting for a while, Zhou Qiyuan and others escorted Ye Xianggao to board the car and go towards the dock.

Sun Yueling, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the snow flying outside the window, but his heart was very congested and depressed. After this hospitality, Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others came strongly, which made him completely see his status in Jiangnan Shilin. In the eyes of Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others, he Sun Yueling is not even a fart, and he treats Ruosi coldly, and does not have the slightest respect for him because of his position in the court.

I'm afraid that the reason why Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others are respectful to him on the surface is all because of Ye Xianggao's face, and they don't know what they think in their hearts, what is their perception of him, a Donglin outlier from a humble background who is good at receiving the central order.

The more he thought about it, the more discouraged he became, and the more depressed he became.

Han Xiaoshui and Dongfang Shengping, who were in the same carriage with him, also felt uncomfortable. Sun Yueling was humiliated, and their faces were not bright, even if they were ordered by the emperor to take up their posts, but when they arrived in this place where the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River was full of hustle and bustle, they couldn't play the slightest prestige.

Sun Yueling was extremely depressed in his chest, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. If the situation continues to develop like this, let alone change the Donglin Party, he is afraid that he will be abandoned by Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang and others, and will no longer be tolerated by Jiangnan Shilin.

Can't wait for death silently like this, you must do something, Sun Yueling suddenly made a heart, things are man-made, the Jiangnan area is the base camp of the entire Donglin Party, if you want to have the right to speak in Donglin, you must take root in Jiangnan, otherwise everything is in vain. Although he can't stay in Jiangnan now, most of his subordinate brothers may not be able to stay, as long as they blossom and spread out in Jiangnan and operate strongly, they will definitely be able to play a great role in helping him to become the master of Jiangnan in the future.

Aren't Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu's generation being co-opted by the Jinling Society, which has great power? His entire Sun Mansion's family business is not small, if Han Xiaoshui and they can work hard in Jiangnan, they may not be able to monopolize one side.

Thinking of this, he blurted out to Han Qianshui: "Weak Shui, there is one thing I want to leave to you, this matter is very important, and only you can reassure me." ”

Han Xiaoshui seemed to have been waiting for him to speak, and when he spoke, his eyes sparkled, and he said to him, "My lord, don't you want to keep us in Jiangnan?" ”

Sure enough, Sun Yueling nodded and said, "That's right." ”

On the big ship, Sun Yueling watched the people of the Sun Mansion and the hired porter move boxes of goods off the ship, and he sighed with emotion in his heart, turned his head to Han Xiaoshui and continued to explain: "From today on, you will stay in Suzhou and do your best, and everything will be headed by you." You have to buy houses and fields in Jiangnan, and restore the business we have left behind one by one; Second, I will repair two letters, one to Chu Zhennan, Baishi City, Sichuan, so that he can trade with you. the other letter to the thirty-six Dao Wu Chengde, so that they can also take care of your business; Third, you must not only run all kinds of business, but also make friends with local magnates, especially Xiao Donglin, led by Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu, even if you can't win them over, you must maintain a close relationship with them and make them agree with us. ”

Han Wanshui looked solemn and listened carefully to Sun Yueling's instructions.

Sun Yueling continued: "These may not be enough, you also have to learn from the Jinling Society, try your best to provide convenience for the Jiangnan scholars, support them to open lecture halls, form associations, and invite some famous scholars and great Confucians to give lectures and lectures for them." Speaking of this, he took out a stack of books from behind him, put them in front of Han Qianshui, and said earnestly, "The lectures and teachings in our East Hall are not only Confucian scriptures, but also very important, you have to gradually influence them and let them take these books as the focus of their lectures." ”

Han Qianshui took out the bibliography and read them one by one, only to see that they were all books such as "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", "Fire Attack Strategy", "Principles of Geometry", etc., and couldn't help but be surprised: "My lord, can this be done, after all, the scholars in Jiangnan attach more importance to Confucian scriptures and righteousness, and they can read and listen to these practical learnings of governing the world?" ”

"So, that's why I left you to preside over the overall situation in Jiangnan, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy!" Sun Yueling sighed in relief, leaving them in Jiangnan was also a last resort, if they didn't do it, how could they know that they would not succeed? continued, "These are all the books that Mr. Xu Guangqi gave me when I was in Beijing, you have to print these books and periodicals, spread them widely, invite some people who know this aspect to preach, and find a way to make these books become popular books in the Jiangnan area, even if those scholars can't agree for a while, let them know the importance and practicality of these books." ”

Han Qiaoshui nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best." ”10
