Xia Yunyi also had a position at this time, which was the official examiner of the Jinling Small Imperial Court.

This position is a rare appreciation for him - before, he had only served as the Changle County Commander for a few years. However, he is indeed a very outstanding affairs officer, and during his time as a county magistrate, he was commended year after year, and was even received by Chongzhen because of his outstanding political achievements.

Therefore, he is a diehard loyalist of the Ming Dynasty, not only he is, but under his education, his son Xia Wanchun is also the same.

At this time, Xia Wanchun was only sixteen years old and had just gotten married.

In the chests of this father and son, blood swelled, and Xia Wanchun even wondered if he could catch Yu Guozhen if he pounced at this distance, and then coerced him to swear that he would never do anything that harmed Daming.

Just like those famous people recorded in the history books: Lin Xiangru and Jing Ke......

At this moment, he felt Yu Guozhen's gaze fall on his face, and he suddenly moved, ready to rise. Then he found that he was just a false alarm, because Yu Guozhen was sitting there and did not move at all.

"This is Ling Lang? I heard that he is a disciple of Chen Wozi, and Aigong and Chen Wozi have also been friends for many years? ”

"Exactly, it's a pity that Chen Wozi lost all his life at this time, and he was willing to sink." Xia Yunyi stabbed Yu Guozhen without being humble or arrogant.

"What I'm saying is that I went to ask Mr. Wozi to do something real five times, but he refused, and had to go around in the pile of old papers."

Yu Guozhen didn't seem to hear the thorn in Xia Yunyi's words, Xia Wanchun looked at him with a little curiosity, and he spoke very smoothly and gently. There is no condescending arrogance, and there is no jackal voice of those with ill intentions. Xia Wanchun is very familiar with Yu Guozhen's deeds, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, that is, at his current age, he has already made a career, almost making a fortune from scratch. After another year, he began to establish himself in Xinxiang......

Such a figure. It would be great if you were always loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, the Jinling Imperial Court, the smaller the land, the bigger the lord. The fewer the people and the more officials, the poorer the people and the richer the princes. If this person can rule Jinling, he will depose the treacherous and evil. Do the things of Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, then he will be a minister through the ages!

Xia Wanchun is young, and it is still simple to see the problem.

However, what Chen Wozi is doing now cannot be said to be sinking, after all, it is a meaningful thing. The compilation of "The Three Emperors' Essentials" is actually to record the merits of the Three Emperors and to find my Chinese Taoism. ”

"It is recorded in the historical records that in ancient times, there was no distinction between the emperor and the common people. All the wool drinks blood, caves and leaves, there are saints out, teaching people the art of fire, is for the Suiren clan. There are also saints who teach the people the art of netting and fishing and hunting, which is for the Fuxi clan, and there are saints who teach the people the art of farming and planting, which is for the Shennong clan. Because it has done great work for the people. Therefore, the people's livelihood respects him as the emperor and is called the three emperors. ”

"Hou Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan, Yu, Yao, and Shun have all made great contributions to the people, so the people respect them as emperors, but for the five emperors."

The theory of the three emperors and five emperors was inconclusive, but Yu Guozhen took out the people who said it in the historical records, and everyone was well-versed in the past and the present, and no one came out to deny it.

Yu Guozhen smiled, he originally waited for others to come out to deny it, and when he saw that they were silent, he continued: "Previously, I was in Qinzhou, and funded Mr. Xu Xiake to travel around the world and circle the earth. In this case, there is a great contribution to the people, in order to be the emperor and the emperor, Dayu has a merit in controlling the water, it is for the king of Xia, and this is also a credit to the people and the king. ”

"Later, the government won and swept the **, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and its merits can be traced to the ancient sages, so he called himself the emperor, and the beginning of the emperor is also."

Therefore, it is foolish to think that whether there needs to be an emperor or a king is not something I can say, not what you can say, but the people of the world can decide. If someone can make great contributions to the people, and the people of the world want to make him the emperor, then the emperor will be the emperor. If the people of the world think that the emperor is useless, they can be abolished. ”

Yu Guozhen's words were decent, although he was suspected of cheating, but he still made everyone feel satisfied.

"Modern emperor, I admire Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang." Immediately afterwards, Yu Guozhen said again: "No, it should be said that I admire him half." ”

These words are a bit rebellious, not only calling Taizu's name, but also saying that he only admires half of him.

"Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of the Tartars, this is half of what I admire him, but he can't jump out of the circle after all, so in the end, he will build a big prison for the sake of his family and the world, which is a disaster of appeasement, which is half of what I don't admire." Yu Guozhen said again.

"Taizu has made such a great achievement, passed on the inheritance to his descendants, and left a legacy to future generations, why not?"

"Naturally, it is okay, but if the descendants of future generations do not have the ability of Taizu and have the desire of Taizu, what can they do?"

Speaking of this, Xia Yunyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, indeed, as Yu Guozhen said, Chongzhen does not have Zhu Yuanzhang's ability and Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for power, and state affairs will end here.

"Therefore, there needs to be virtuous and upright people in the court, and restrain the emperor!" Huang Zongxi spoke at this time.

When Gu Yanwu heard Huang Zongxi say this, he couldn't help but shake his head. Huang Zongxi is still the same, nothing more than using the power of the prime minister to restrain the power of the monarch.

"Righteous people are in the court...... Who is the righteous person that Mr. Huang is talking about? ”

"I am the gentlemen of Donglin and Fushe!" When Huang Zongxi said this, his eyebrows lifted slightly, and he glared at Yu Guozhen: "Yu Jimin, when you started your family in your early years, Qian Muzhai and other Donglin princes, Zhang Tianru and other Fushe Alliances, all contributed to help. But now that you have become a general trend, why do you cross the river and tear down the bridge, and abandon Donglin like a foothold? ”

Gu Yanwu smiled bitterly again.

Yu Guozhen smiled faintly: "Mr. Huang said that when I started my business, Donglin Fushe helped a lot...... I would like to ask, how did Donglin Restoration Society help me? I want concrete things, not words. ”

Huang Zongxi opened his mouth to speak, but for a while, he couldn't find anything to say.

"The gentlemen of the Donglin Restoration Society have written a lot of articles for me, but for each article, I have paid for the manuscript, and with the help of my books and newspapers, I have made a name for the gentlemen of the Donglin Restoration Society. Mr. Huang, when you wrote poems, you also received the manuscript fee, right? Qian Muzhai didn't say, Zhang Tianru is no longer there, and I don't want to say more about him, I only want to ask you one thing, Zhang Tianru befriended the gentlemen of the Donglin Restoration Society, and a few people are running for Zhang Tianru's future, why is it Ma Shiying, the eunuch and I, Yu Guozhen, who are in your mind, who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, are planning for him! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen really raised his eyebrows and was furious.

Zhang Pu had many contradictions with him, but after all, they were old friends, with different political views and different positions, and they dispersed with Zhang Pu's death. However, after Zhang Pu's death, Donglin and the princes of the Fushe were busy going to Zhou Yanru's side to drill camps, wanting to take advantage of Zhou Yanru's recovery to make an official and a half-job fat and poor, but they completely forgot what happened behind this Confucian leader.

Huang Zongxi's face was also red, and he was speechless for a while.

"So, I don't owe Donglin Fushe, turn my head, does Donglin Fushe owe me?" Yu Guozhen said coldly: "Seeing that my printing ink method is convenient, I have taken away my ideals for my own use, and I have settled the people in Xinxiang's hands and feet, but I have relied on all the promises I made...... Confucius Yun, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue, repay grievances with straightforwardness! ”

"That was done by Zhang Tianru and Shi Daolin personally, now that Zhang Tianru is dead, and Shi Daolin is also disabled, why do you refuse to use Donglin Junzi?" Huang Zongxi couldn't respond positively, so he could only go around to the issue of Donglin characters not being reused by Yu Guozhen.

"What do you mean by willingness, military and civilian government affairs, and entrust Zhu Donglin?" Yu Guozhen sneered again: "Since Donglin formed a party, the time has not been short, what good strategies do they have to enrich the people and strengthen the army?" ”

"Yu Gong's words are reasonable, Donglin's arguments are high, and he is in the border to control the cowards, and there is no truth." Unexpectedly, Xia Yunyi agreed with Yu Guozhen here.

"The truth of the husband's border control is that the gentleman is far from the villain!" Huang Zongxi was unconvinced and retorted.

Yu Guozhen really didn't want to say anything to him at this time, Huang Zongxi's depth of thought is there, such as his criticism of the monarchy, but his depth is nothing more. Yu Guozhen took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then said to Gu Yanwu: "Mr. Yanwu, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Yu Jimin, now that you are in a high position, you can't tolerate dissent, and you don't even have the means to sit here and listen to me and wait?" Huang Zongxi was furious.

Yu Guozhen looked at him and shook his head: "Mr. Huang, Henan Xinding, I want to think about how to allocate food and materials to help the people involved in the war; I want to think about how to evaluate merit and motivate the soldiers who fight for the country; I want to think about how to open schools so that children can go to school. I have a lot of things to think about, and I don't have time to sit and talk like the princes of Donglin. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he stopped again, turned around and said: "In fact, the Donglin Zhugongs who sit and talk about the Tao are already good, such as you, such as Shi Daolin, there are still some characters, and the most afraid is that Wu Changshi is like this, with benevolence and morality in his mouth, but what kind of goods are in his stomach!" ”

When Huang Zongxi heard him mention Wu Chang, his face suddenly turned blue and white.

A large part of the reason why he was in a hurry to persuade Yu Guozhen was that he felt that the reputation of Donglin and Fushe was ruined by Wu Changshi, Zhou Zhong, Wei Xuelian and others. He felt that he could convince Yu Guozhen and make Yu Guozhen realize that Wu Changshi and others were just villains who had mixed into Donglin and Fushe.

But it is clear that his eagerness backfired.

When he was depressed, a guard walked in, glanced at everyone, and then said to Xia Yunyi: "The New Year is coming soon, my family commander wants to ask Mr. Xia for a favor, I don't know if Mr. Xia is free, if he is free, please come out." ”

Xia Yunyi was shouldering some missions this time, so he really wanted to have a long talk with Yu Guozhen, so he arched his hand to everyone in the room and walked out of the door quickly.

The snow outside was even heavier, and Yu Guozhen only stood in front of the house for a while, and he was already silver-white.

"When will the envoy sent by Jinling arrive, Mr. Xia, you should be a secret envoy, right?" Yu Guozhen looked at him and asked.

Xia Yunyi nodded, somewhat emotional.
