Chapter 126 If you say you turn your face, you turn your face
Lv Daqi, Yang Tinglin, Lu Zhenfei, Zhai Shiyun...... Even including Fan Wenqin, the surrounding civil officials were all dumbfounded.
Is Huang Jin talking back? Or is it a trap set for Wang Kefan? You must know that among the living elders of the Donglin Party, Huang Jin's status is the highest, how can he forgive his sworn enemy Wei Zhongxian?!
Wang Kefan was also quite cautious, and responded cautiously: "Mr. Zhu'an has a good mind and profound understanding, and he is ashamed of himself in his later life." β
Obviously he was patting on the back, but secretly blocked Huang Jin's words - don't try to wrap me in, I won't let go lightly.
Huang Jin sighed and said, "Alas, how can there be any enlightenment? But when it comes to the year of doing what you want, there are no longer so many fetters. β
Sixty ears are smooth, seventy do what you want, these are the words of Confucius, the meaning of these two sentences is easy to understand, but before that age, it is difficult to really understand the mood.
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Huang Jin lowered his voice, and even Lu Daqi avoided it, only letting a few people around him hear: "When Emperor Si Zonglie returned to heaven, he shouted bitterly, 'The ministers misunderstood me', and the old man was grieved when he heard it, and he reminisced about the past. The death of the Ming Dynasty was due to party strife, and what the old man did back then, although it seemed that he had taken up all the righteousness, was actually harmful to the country's society. Seeing the PTZ today, the old man only has a word, no matter what he does, he should focus on the overall situation! β
He was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I know that the reason why Yuntai made this decision must be a last resort, the imperial court has been ill for a long time, and it is difficult to get rid of it in a moment, and Yuntai's military salary has been repeatedly in arrears. The old man has heard of it. However, these people who came to ask for the treasury money today are not all corrupt officials and beetles, but they are just responsible for their duties. I have to be embarrassed by the gimbal. The old man also saw it just now, the soldiers of Yuntai shot into the sky several times, and they did not want to shed blood and kill, if they still want to work together in the future, why humiliate them too much. β
After a moment's time, Yang Tinglin's face immediately turned red, and he opened his mouth and closed it again. Huang Jin was still talking, and he couldn't interrupt.
"Tuk, tuk. ......With the sound of heavy and strange footsteps, accompanied by the sound of hard breathing, Lu Daqi jumped over on one leg with the support of his two sons.
"The old man came to Guilin this time. It's not to be biased towards the Donglin line. I just want to persuade you a few words, the world is divided into three, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has won two, at this time, if your family makes trouble again, isn't it a dead end? We should try to be as peaceful as possible in everything, and we must never cause the scourge of party strife again. Hehe, the old man's face still has a little face in front of the court and the saint. If the PTZ is willing to take a step back and settle the matter, return the treasury silver first. The old man is also willing to mediate, not only the matter is written off, but the arrears are also distributed, what does Yuntai think? β
He spoke at length, Wang Kefan didn't speak, and it wasn't until this time that he suddenly smiled: "Ha, the shot at the sky has been seen through by you, so it must be not good...... Li Yushi, come here! β
He suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, Li Yushi ran over when he heard the sound, and Wang Kefan said: "Sue your soldiers, from now on, anyone who enters within seventy steps does not need to fire a warning gun, and directly fires." β
"Whoa!" Li Yushi gave a military salute, turned around and ran away.
"Is the PTZ really obsessed?"
Huang Jin's voice was still so old, but his tone suddenly became cold: "I am in the Donglin lineage, there has always been no shortage of iron-clad people, Yuntai looted the treasury silver, there is already a mistake first, if you don't want to return it, we can only swear to the death!" β
"That's right! Swear to the death! Yang Tinglin was calling.
"It's better to be broken than to be complete!" Lu Daqi roared.
Lu Qian, Lu Yuan, Li Shi and others stepped forward one after another, facing the bayonets of the Chu soldiers, without fear.
Hearing Huang Jin's questioning and threats, in the face of the menacing Donglin people, the smile on Wang Kefan's face became even brighter, and he clapped his hands and said: "Everyone is fighting for these treasury silver, but unfortunately I haven't taken a look at it yet, come on, let's take a look together, if these silver are not in good condition, then I will return them to you first." β
He turned and walked towards the cart with the silver box, and said to an officer: "Come, open the silver box, which car belongs to Taicang?" Taicang's, Jieshen's, Changying's, Guanglu's Library, each opened a box, let me take a closer look. β
Is this a soft way to find steps?
For a while, everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Kefan's gourd was selling, but since he said that he could return the treasury silver, he had hope in his heart and followed together. Listening to his words, it seems that he only intends to repay a part of the silver, and it is uncertain whether it will be returned to the household department, or the military department, the rite department, or the Ministry of industry.
Lu Zhenfei and Zhai Shiyun and others accelerated their pace together, trying to persuade Wang Kefan to return the silver of his yamen first, how will this matter develop later, and whether it will become an uncontrollable mess, it is still difficult to say, it is the best policy to get the silver back as soon as possible.
"Mr. Ji'an, what you just said is lying to him, right?" Lu Daqi leaned into Huang Jin's ear and whispered: "Even if he returns the silver, this matter can't be written off, let alone give him another salary." Otherwise, all military towns will follow the same example, and the court law will not be wiped out! β
Huang Jin glanced at him, his eyes were cold: "The Tartar army has repeatedly gone south, relying on the Chu army to support the crisis, if the battle of Huguang is defeated, Guilin has been owned by Luckdhun, can you still fight for silver here?" The Qing army will go south sooner or later, and of course the Chu army must be close to the Chu army if there is silver, why did the old man lie to him? β
"But ......" Lu Daqi hesitated: "If Chu Xun gains power, the Donglin vein will definitely be shattered!" β
"Take care of this matter again, first calm down the catastrophe in front of you, Wang Kefan only needs to return the treasury silver today, this matter is his fault, wait until the emperor asks, I can't wait to embarrass him, how can he have the strength to come to you again?"
"Hiss......" Lu Daqi suddenly realized, in the end, Jiang is still old and spicy, whether it is coaxing or cheating, as long as Wang Kefan bows his head and submits to softness, the robbery of Taicang is an iron case that is sure to be determined, and Chu Xun will inevitably be attacked by a group. At that time, whether the Donglin Party is fishing in troubled waters, fanning the flames, or joining forces to protect itself, the chances of self-protection are much greater.
"Well, as long as I can get him to return the money, I'll also say a few good things to him." Lu Daqi is ready to compromise and must not provoke Wang Kefan again.
"No, what should you do, how do you do it, as long as it's not too divided. Although Wang Kefan is young, he attaches great importance to the country's social welfare, which is why he was squeezed by my few words, if you are too abnormal, you will have branches. Huang Jin sighed and said: "Alas, although he is a young man, his heart is far broader than yours, after this matter has passed, don't be an enemy again, you, think about the truth......"
"Yes, the student knows what is wrong! After returning home today, I closed my door and thought about it, and asked the Holy God for sin. I didn't expect Huang Jin to respect Wang Kefan so much, and Lu Daqi was ten thousand unconvinced, but now he urgently needs the help of the Donglin Party, how dare he talk to Huang Jin, so he has to make a respectful appearance.
Lu Daqi carried out a coup d'Γ©tat, sooner or later he had to pass the level of Emperor Longwu, rather than stubbornly resisting, it is better to admit his mistake as soon as possible, of course, the crime of rebellion must not be admitted, and then change to another worse crime, first show that a repentant attitude is the most important.
One by one, the silver chests were opened, and the silver ingots were poured out, glittering in the sunlight.
Everyone surrounded them, and Wang Kefan walked in the front, went up and looked carefully next to each other, nodding from time to time.
"The fineness of this silver is good. It seems that none of them can be returned, so I'd better take them all. β
"Wang Kefan! How can you go back on your word! Lu Daqi hurriedly shouted: "This is all specially cast treasury silver, of course the fineness is excellent, refuse to return the treasury silver on this ground, are you entertaining me and waiting?" β
"Then you say, which family should I pay back? The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry? Wang Kefan took a piece of silver and handed it to Lu Daqi.
"It's all back, and you can't miss one or two! If you want a military salary, then go to the ministries to apply for it, and what should be given to you will naturally be given to you. β
"I can't trust them. In the past year, in order to pay for the silver, my people have repeatedly hit nails in various departments, and the arrears of money have become more and more, so I have to take it first. β
"It's only 150,000 pieces of silver. You know what? Mr. Ji'an promised to come forward for you and write off the matter, if you really take the 150,000 silver, don't think about leading the army's salary in the future......"
Lu Daqi kept screaming loudly, his voice getting higher and higher, and he did not hesitate to act as a villain, saying what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say, just when he was hoarse and almost changed his voice, Wang Kefan's face suddenly became hideous and distorted, raised the silver ingot in his hand high, and smashed it down on his face, bringing a gust of wind.
His movements were very big and his expression was fierce, Lu Daqi had long felt that something was wrong, and when he saw the silver splitting his head and covering his face, he hurriedly flashed to the side, but there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he was knocked to the ground with a thud.
Lu Daqi's two sons, Lu Qian, Lu Yuan, stood next to him and held his arm, and when they saw Wang Kefan doing it, they hurriedly went up to stop him, but they were all weak scholars, and as soon as they touched Wang Kefan, they were knocked to the side. After Lu Daqi fell to the ground, Li Shi and others rushed up together, but they were blocked by Wang Kefan's personal soldiers, and everyone else around was stunned.
Wang Kefan leaned over, picked up Lu Daqi, stared at his eyes, and asked coldly: "Lu Daqi, are you from the household department, or from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of War?" None of them spoke, why did you come forward? β
"You, you robbed the treasury silver, that is, it is a great crime of banditry, this pavilion, as an official of the imperial court, is naturally duty-bound!" Lu Daqi's voice was intermittent, and his breath was scattered.
"I'll ask them for money, but they won't give it!" Wang Kefan stood up and said to Huang Jin: "I reasoned with them, they played scoundrels with me, I played scoundrels with them, and they reasoned with me again." What should you do if this happens to you? (To be continued......)
