The night of Suzhou City has come.

Because it is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it is not far from the Lantern Festival, although the lantern will be tested tomorrow night, but there are already people who can't bear the surname and hang out the lantern first.

Only Shi Kefa's apartment was still dark.

First, he is upright and upright, and has no intention of using strange lanterns to sensationalize, second, his seat of governance is in Luzhou, and third, he has no heart to enjoy it at all.

For a whole day and a night, the word "eunuch" was circling in his mind, and for Donglin, these were two words that they hated, feared and despised at the same time.

Yu Guozhen...... Vertical child, you dare to tease me like this! ”

Clenching his teeth, Shi Kefa could hear the creaking of his teeth, if it weren't for the fact that he was in the prime of life and was listed in the same place as Ruan Dacheng, it would be enough to make him angry.

At this moment, the servant Shi Yu came in and said, "Master, the governor is invited." ”

The governor is Zhang Guowei, Shi Kefa's recommended master, the governor of the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and one of the most important feudal officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Guowei and Shi Kefa have always had a close relationship, Shi Kefa knew that he was a boss who wanted to do practical things, so he did not rush to report to Zhang Guowei on the first day of the Lunar New Year and pay New Year's greetings like other colleagues, but came until the twelve, during which he was busy training recruits. Originally, he thought that as long as he arrived at Suzhou Mansion, handed over the famous thorn, and explained the intention of the resignation, Zhang Guowei would see him soon.

But he hit a wall, Zhang Guowei's doorman blocked him, and only deduced that Zhang Guowei was unwell.

Shi Kefa didn't understand why at first, but when the New Year's special issue of "Storm Collection" arrived, he understood that Zhang Guowei was avoiding suspicion, distancing himself from him, and at the same time giving him a warning!

If he can't give Zhang Guowei a reasonable explanation, Zhang Guowei will even draw a line with him, and at that time, his recommender will become the number one boss to impeach him!

Shi Kefa is not afraid of losing his official position and resigning, this kind of thing, they Donglin people have not encountered it rarely, and they are not even afraid of the court staff - it will become the capital for future recovery. But what was deeply fearful of Shi Kefa was that his name was henceforth listed alongside the eunuchs.

Last night, he was plagued by nightmares, and his mentor Zuo Guangdou, just like the last he saw in the factory prison, was covered with hair and feet, his eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at him and scolded: "Eunuch! ”

No, no, I'm not a eunuch, I'm Donglin Qingliu, a righteous gentleman!

Clenched his fists tightly, Shi Kefa even bit his lower lip, at this time, he was only in his thirties, not too old, and he had never really taken charge of himself, therefore, he had strength, but he lacked some means - in fact, until he died, he did not learn too many means.

"Governor Zhang wants to see me?" Shi Kefa woke up from his thoughts, he cheered up, Zhang Guowei wanted to see him at this time, proving that things had not reached the worst.

"Where's Zhang Tianru?" Thinking of this, he asked.

How to deal with Zhang Guowei needs Zhang Pu to be his counselor next to him, but Shi Yu's answer made him a little disappointed: "Mr. Ximing doesn't know where he went, and he has been gone since yesterday." ”

"That's good...... When I fetched water, I washed my face, changed my clothes, and went to see the governor again. ”

Zhang Guowei was just over forty years old at the time, and he was born with clear eyebrows, and he looked like a scholar. However, he is also a little irritable now, he is very optimistic about his official reputation, so although he has a close relationship with Donglin, he can even be regarded as a member of Donglin, but when he first served as the governor of the Ten Prefectures, he still took the opportunity of the civil uprising to impeach several members of Donglin and Fushe who were rampant in the township in Tongcheng.

What he is good at is building water conservancy, and he also spends a lot of his energy in this area, in order to make up for his lack of military affairs, he recommended Shi Kefa, but what he didn't expect was that it was this Shi Kefa who caused such a big trouble!

Even if Wen Tiren, who was the first assistant at the time, wanted to overturn the case for the eunuch party, but every time he was scolded as soon as he made a move, he had to stop.

The servant came to report that Scofa had arrived at the door, and instead of going out to greet him as before, he ordered Scofa to be brought to his study.

"Xia Guan Shi Kefa meets the governor!" Shi Kefa did not be as unruly as usual, but gave full courtesy to his subordinates. After Bai Bi got up, at a glance, he saw the book Zhang Guowei was holding in his hand, blood suddenly surged, and his face was swollen red.

New Year's special issue of "Storm Collection".

"Daolin, I know that you can't be in the same league as the eunuchs, but you have to give me an explanation for this matter." Zhang Guowei said coldly.

"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......"

The grievance in Shi Kefa's heart, this is his scar, but now he has to uncover it himself!

Hearing that he was calculated by Yu Guozhen, before handing over the manuscript, he didn't know that Yu Guozhen also invited Ruan Dacheng and other reclusive eunuchs to write the manuscript, so this is why it will be like this, Zhang Guowei sighed.

Yu Guozhen's name, he is not the first time he has heard it, and many people have mentioned this name to him. It's just that he didn't expect that Yu Guozhen would have such a means to play with a court official between applause, and almost ruined his reputation!

For Donglin people, they can still have their full name when they die, but if their reputation is ruined, they will really be ruined.

"How did you get into a conflict with this Diao Min?" Yu Guozhen will not offend a court official for no reason, there must be an inside story.

Shi Kefa had to tell the fact that he wanted to transfer Yu Guozhen's family as an official and soldier, and Zhang Pu instigated him to obtain Yu Guozhen's movable type printing and ink. Originally, he took both of these things for granted, but now, he realized that he had done them too hastily.

"Daolin, confused!" After listening, Zhang Guowei couldn't help but pause.

This Shi Daolin, Lian Ji was tricked, and Zhang Pu used him as a gun, and he even stupidly got up.

Zhang Guowei originally had a good impression of Zhang Pu, but after this incident, this good impression became weaker, and some were just disappointed. He originally thought that Zhang Pu's resumption of the society, although the plan was positive, could recruit too many, and there were more than 2,000 people, among whom the good and the bad were uneven, and there were many chickens and dogs and thieves.

"Yes." Shi Kefa is the only one.

"Who is behind Yu Guozhen, have you ever inquired?"

"I know a little bit about it, his own family is proud of nothing, he is famous in the township for his bravery, and he married the Fang clan in Tongcheng and is the niece and son-in-law of the Fang Kong clan."

"Fang Kongzhi has a daughter, Xu and Sun Lin, Sun Lin's brother Sun Jin, is to recommend your engineering department to Sun Mingqing in the matter with this official! Sun Mingqing's wife is the niece of Rushi Zuo Zhongyi, so this Yu Guozhen was originally a person of my generation! ”

Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment.

He knew that Sun Jin had recommended him, and he also knew the kinship between Sun Jin and his teacher, but what he didn't expect was that Sun Jin's brother and Yu Guozhen turned out to be brothers-in-law!

"Others don't know about this matter, Zhang Pu is good friends with Sun Lin, Fang Yizhi, Yu Guozhen and you, how can he not know the reason. He concealed this matter and instigated you to deal with Yu Guozhen, which is nothing more than using your power to promote his own name. Zhang Guowei sighed: "Daolin, you have a heavy responsibility, you must think twice about it!" ”

Shi Kefa suddenly remembered that Yu Guozhen had questioned him about Zhang Pu, could it be that Zhang Pu and Zhang Tianru, who are famous all over the world and have always prided themselves on their loyalty, righteousness and righteousness, are really hypocrites?

"How could Zhang Tianru be such a character?" He said in amazement.

"Even if Zhang Pu is not a hypocrite, he is not a bright and tired husband." Zhang Guowei snorted: "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

"Then Yu Guozhen borrowed thaumaturgy to spread fallacies and damage my Taoism, and he can't sit idly by." Shi Kefa pondered for a while, and resolutely said: "Even if I knew in advance that he had a very close relationship with Donglin, the lower officials would not stand idly by and watch him act so recklessly!" ”

At this time, he held his head high and looked directly at Zhang Guowei, as if he felt that his teacher Zuo Guangdou was standing behind him, supporting him and giving him strength......

Zhang Guowei nodded slowly: "The battle of Taoism." ”

He also does not agree with Xu Xiake's "natural evolution theory", but after all, Xu Xiake's proposition has not involved specific political ethics, and it is not like Li Zhen's theory, and naturally there is no need to be thrown into a cage like Li Zhuowu, on the contrary, you can learn from the meeting of the predecessors of Goose Lake and debate and temper.

However, although Shi Kefa expressed the intention of insisting on his own ideas, how to adhere to it, he did not say a word. Zhang Guowei sighed: "No matter what, you have to clear up your relationship with the eunuch party first, and you go to Yu Guozhen...... That's it, I want to ask someone to come forward and mediate between the two of you, and Yu Guozhen will explain it clearly for you, you have nothing to do with Ruan Dacheng. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Guowei was also deeply helpless. What kind of person is Yu Guozhen, just a young man in the countryside, even if he is brave, at most he is just a junior who was praised by him on the shoulder and praised as a strong man, but now, because he has "Storm Collection" in his hand, the most influential book collection among readers, he has a faint status on an equal footing with the best among them!

This feeling made him very unpleasant.

Just as he was pondering who to turn to, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the study. Zhang Guowei raised his eyebrows, and then heard someone kneeling outside: "Master, it's not good, the Tang newspaper is urgent, and the rogue has broken Ying's state!" ”

"What!" Zhang Guowei and Shi Kefa both jumped.

"Come in, come in!" Zhang Guowei said eagerly: "What's going on, let's make it clear!" ”

"Master Yu, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Sweeping King and other joint soldiers, even broke the 'Shi' and Huo' hills, entered Ying' Zhou, and Ying' Zhou City has fallen!" The family handed over the newspaper they had just received.

Zhang Siwei's hand trembled violently, and the Tang Bao even slipped from his fingers twice, and he didn't hold it steady until Shi Kefa picked it up for him.

After opening the Tang newspaper and reading it for a while, Zhang Siwei beat his chest and paused: "The ancestral tomb of the central capital...... Rest! ”

Regardless of suspicion, Shi Kefa took the Tang Newspaper and read it in three or two eyes, and he was as depressed as Zhang Siwei. Although the two of them are not too good at military affairs, they still have this vision, the thieves even Kefeng's two cities outside the Yang Mansion, although there are still four hundred miles away from Feng'yang at this time, but the roads in the Jianghuai land are flat, and there are no soldiers and horses, what else can stop the invasion of the Liukou?

"It's not good, governor, after the thieves break the capital, it will be Luzhou!" Shi Ke [***] for a moment and suddenly shouted.
