Here, Yang Ming was immersed in the joy of reuniting with Yun Die, when he saw Dr. Lan walking in with the two of them. One person is old, and his hair is white. One person is full of energy, although he looks no more than ten years old, but Gu Panjian does not have a trace of stubbornness, but is more mature and stable than other teenagers.

"Who are the two?" Yang Ming saw that someone came in, and it was not good to hug Yundie anymore, so he walked over and asked.

"Oh, young master, I forgot to tell you that it was the two of them who saved me", Yun Die saw this, and hurriedly turned around to introduce these two to Yang Ming. From Yundie's mouth, Yang Ming knew that this old man was born in the Jiajing period, was a jinshi in the Wanli period, and had been a political participant in Shaanxi Province, and his name was Tang Jinzhou.

And this young man's name is Tang Datao, who has passed the government examination at the age of twelve, and is the great-great-grandson of the old man.

It is said that the Tang family is also a famous official eunuch family in Dongxiang County, its ancestor was originally a native of Lanxi, Zhejiang, and its ancestor Tang Yu was the emperor of Zhu Di, and it was also the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Shengzong. Tang Yu received Zhu Di's will to pursue the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen before he traveled to Sichuan, settled in Kunchiba, Dongxiang County, and now has taken root and become a famous local family.

His descendants have successively passed the Jinshi in the Tianshun, Chenghua, and Wanli years, and there are countless people who are talented and prisoners. Even the Guan family in Huangshi Village can't be compared with it, after all, one is a generation of scholars, and the other is a local tyrant, both in prestige and status.

Seeing that these two people saved his Yundie, Yang Ming naturally had to express his gratitude, but these two people didn't seem to appreciate it, and the old bureaucrat Tang Jinzhou said arrogantly: "Saving Yang Gongzi's love is the old man's accidental righteousness, it's nothing, Yang Gongzi doesn't have to be thanked, the old man just wanted to ask Yang Gongzi today, Yang Gongzi really occupied the county government and killed Zhai County's order." ”

"It was done by Yang", Yang Ming saw that Tang Jinzhou was looking sideways at him, his tone was not good, and he asked himself about it as soon as they met, he was a little vigilant in his heart, but he didn't deliberately hide it, after all, the county order was killed by himself, and the county seat was also occupied by himself, so it was difficult for him to be an old bureaucrat and capture himself.

In this case, the old man dared to persuade Yang Gongzi, Yang Gongzi should return the county seat to the court as soon as possible, and confess his guilt to the court himself, whether it is death or life, it can also fulfill the name of Gongzi's loyalty; After all, killing officers and soldiers and occupying the county government are both rebellious moves, and it is not too late to make amends.

When Tang Jinzhou rescued Yun Die, he saw that Yun Die was very knowledgeable and behaved like an ordinary woman, so he concluded that she was born in a scholarly family, and it was because of this that he was willing to ask a doctor to boil medicine to save Yun Die, but when he heard that Yun Die was Yang Ming's maidservant, and Yang Ming also killed the county order and occupied the county government, Tang Jinzhou decided to send Yun Die back to Hanjia Village and used Confucian morality to persuade Yang Ming to turn back.

But what he didn't know was that although Yang Ming was a showman, he was actually a modern person, and he didn't have any loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the court, nor did he have the consciousness that the monarch had to die, so to speak, as a modern person, Yang Ming's spirit of resistance was stronger, no matter how Tang Jinzhou persuaded him with the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang Ming only had one feeling: that is, a headache!

Regarding Tang Jinzhou's wishful thinking, Yang Ming is of course noncommittal, not to mention that he has the confidence to survive in this complicated era, but he has no confidence, and he is not willing to hand over his fate to others to dominate.

Of course, as a high-ranking official of Zhishi, it is already rare to be able to convince himself, although he is also selfish and wants to protect the interests of his official class, but he also has the meaning of thinking for himself, Yang Ming is not easy to brush off the kindness of others, and agreed in a reluctantly manner: "What the boss means, the student understands." ”

"But the boss also knows that now the discipline is corrupt, the court decrees are abolished, corruption is rampant, the people are not happy, and the officials are forcing the people to rebel abound, and I, Yang Ming, am just trying to protect myself, but now it is difficult to recover, but as long as the court sends down the decree to appease, the students are still willing", Yang Ming did not explicitly refuse, but also revealed a willingness to accept the court's appeasement.

Although Yang Ming was not a foolish and loyal person, he also had a clear understanding of the general trend of history, and knew that in the years to come, the real enemy would not be the imperial court or the thieves but the Manchu Tartars, and the class contradictions should be replaced by national contradictions, and then all the Han people would face a common enemy, that is, the military group formed by the collusion between the Manchu military aristocracy and the Han traitors.

Therefore, Yang Ming was willing to accept the appeasement of the imperial court, so as to minimize the consumption of internal struggles, and to accumulate more strength to fight against Jiannu, who was about to steal Shenzhou.

"Young Master Yang! Are you really so good at talking to the Ming court, don't say that you just occupy a small county seat in Dongxiang County, that is, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the court will not be easily appeased, and if you do such a rebellious thing, you should judge yourself to thank the king, and you are still so obsessed, you just wait for the court army to suppress you, and you will regret it when the time comes! ”

Tang Jinzhou couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Yang Ming did not abandon the county seat at all and confessed his guilt to the imperial court.

"Yes, as Yasheng said, the king is light, the people are important, and the community is secondary, if the court is clear and honest, love the people and protect the people, we will naturally obey, but the court is tyrannical, and there are countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry who killed my wife, took my grain, and took my land, should we let it be slaughtered? Water can carry a boat and overturn a boat, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, if his court wants to suppress it, he is afraid that the more he will suppress it, otherwise, the current Li and Zhang will not be so rampant! ”

"You!" Tang Jinzhou angrily pointed at Yang Ming and couldn't speak for a long time, but the young man named Tang Datao behind him still read with understanding: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." Then, the young man also walked forward and said: "Young Master Yang, what you said is very right, besides, I heard Sister Yundie say that you still know a lot of miscellaneous studies, can you tell me about it." ”

"Yes", Yang Ming smiled and said, seeing that this young man was so modest and studious, his originally depressed mood was relieved a lot, and Tang Jinzhou slapped him angrily when he saw his great-grandson like this: "In the future, if you talk about miscellaneous studies in front of others, I will definitely let your father come back and beat you well!" ”

"Master!" Tang Datao was busy silent, and seeing that he was being pulled out by his grandfather, he had to hurriedly wave his hand and said, "Sister Yundie, goodbye, Yang Gongzi!" ”

"Goodbye!" Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand at Tang Datao, secretly thinking that this Tang Datao was cuter than his grandfather, but unfortunately he didn't know what celebrities there were in the eastern Sichuan region at the end of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he could know what the fate of this Tang Datao was. However, since he doesn't know, maybe he doesn't have any reputation in history, although he can pass the government test at the age of twelve, it is estimated that he is just a person like Fang Zhongyong. In fact, this can only be blamed on Yang Ming's limited knowledge, so I don't know that the famous thinker Tang Zhen in the late Ming Dynasty was named Tang Datao when he was young, and it was he who wrote the "Hidden Book", which revealed to us the essence of "the prosperous era of chaff".
