"There are a lot of ghost ideas!" Empress Dowager Cixi snorted, "How are you going to ask the harbour master to help you get wood?" ”

Hearing this question, Li Lianying's heart suddenly hung again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Qing Dynasty, it was a big crime for a eunuch to have a personal relationship with a foreign minister, and without special permission, he was not allowed to leave the imperial city for a single step.

"Back to Lafayette, the slave is here today, just want to ask Lafayette for instructions, and the quasi-slave will send someone to contact the harbour master and ask him to help purchase golden silk nan wood." Li Lianying said.

"The wood used by the shipmaster and this golden silk nanmu are afraid that they can't be sidelined, right? Do you know they have a solution? The Empress Dowager Cixi frowned.

Li Lianying replied in a hoarse voice: "Back to Lafayette, the slave also knows that this wood is not easy to do, but as long as there is a way, you always have to give it a try, don't miss the gardener." Otherwise, if you mistake Lafayette's cultivation, the minion will lose his head, and his soul will not be able to rest in peace......"

"It's rare for you to have this filial piety." The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, looked at Li Lianying and said, "Okay, I'll approve this matter, you can do it." ”

"Slave thanks to the Queen Mother!" Li Lianying was grateful, and kowtowed again and again.

"But, little Lizi, I can tell you, whether you go in person or arrange someone to go, give me more care! Don't go to learn that Andhai! Cixi's face was still very peaceful, but her tone of voice revealed a hint of sternness, "Don't think I don't know your little fancy intestines!" When the time comes, something will happen, and I won't be able to save you! ”

"Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't dare! ”

"Get up. Don't wait here, let's do it! ”

"Huh-"

Ten days later, Fuzhou, Harbour Administration.

"They're coming so fast this second round!" Xu Run put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Lin Yizhe, "As expected, this time, they not only want the adults to keep the system for their aunts, but also want the adults to divorce their wives." ”

Lin Yizhe had already read the Di Bao just now, and just a few days ago, the gossip officials led by Wang Shimata, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, once again set off a frenzy of impeachment of themselves!

Wang Shimata first directly denounced Lin Yizhe in the excerpt for "not being benevolent and guarding the system, greedy for power", and being a "famous sinner" who "does not abide by the courtier's festival", and then accused Lin Yizhe of "being a member of the court, secretly accepting female lewdness when his relatives were seriously ill, regardless of shame, and willing to be with ghosts", which is "a demon in the prosperous world" and "a dog is not as good"!

As soon as this excerpt was published, the officials from all walks of life followed up one after another, and the content of the impeachment was similar to Wang Shimata's excerpt, one was to ask Lin Yizhe to abide by the system, and the other was to ask Lin Yizhe to take a break from his forehead, which could be described as overwhelming for a while, and had the potential to engulf Lin Yizhe in one fell swoop.

"It's okay to keep the system, my aunt treats me like my own child, and she is the person who loves me the most in the world. Lin Yizhe said angrily, "But if I want to give up Aya, I can't!" ”

"Adults can know that whether to divorce their wives or not is still the last season." Xu Run said, "This is forcing adults to worry about the system, which is the real killing!" ”

Ding Wei is a traditional funeral ceremony in ancient China, which refers to the bereavement of parents or grandparents. According to the regulations, during the period of sorrow, you must be heartbroken, miss the deceased, do not work, do not listen to music, eat wine and meat, do not get close to women, wear cloth clothes and straw shoes, and build a grass hut in front of your parents' graves to accompany your parents. There are often articles in the history books that praise the filial son Ding for vomiting blood three liters during the period of worry, and being thin as wood for three days, whether it is exaggerated or not, there is no way to verify, but it can be seen from this that the moral standards and ethical requirements of ancient Chinese society. However, the code of ethics is only at the ******** level, and the specific enforcement of the Ding Wei system comes from the strong pressure of public opinion and the government's hard regulations. All dynasties and dynasties have had a system for officials to abandon their posts due to the loss of their parents.

Ding Wei can be said to be one of the special products of Confucian culture, and this system is derived from the "benevolence" of Confucius Sage's three years of filial piety. At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bang began to attach importance to the use of Confucian scholarship to establish the prestige of the emperor, but the status of Confucianism was not high, and later encountered the "Lao Huang Period" in the early Han Dynasty, until Emperor Wu respected Confucianism, Confucian scholarship and Confucianism began to turn over, the Western Han Dynasty government clearly stipulated that the personnel in the imperial court served for three years, and by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Ding Wei system had prevailed. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world was prosperous, and literati often did things that were out of the ordinary, but Dan Ding's worries continued. Sima Zhao vigorously advocated filial piety, and even the dissolute Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest could not escape, and Ji Kang was in trouble, and the crime of hanging was also "filial piety". Since then, there have been regulations in all dynasties, and the officials are worried, if they hide and do not report, once they are found, they will be punished. In the Ming Dynasty, the civilian emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was a more pragmatic person, so in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu (1393), in order to avoid absenteeism, in addition to important immediate relatives such as parents and grandparents, Ding Wei, the funeral could only send people to sacrifice. For the sake of the emperor, the scholar had no choice but to "judge grace with righteousness", and the military attache of the Ming Dynasty had no worries.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was not deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and faced with many practical governance problems, although the government governed the country with Confucianism, but on the whole it was relatively pragmatic, and the government's requirements for Ding Wei were no longer strict. In the early years of Yongzheng, there was an important minister named Zhu Shi, who was also a generation of scripture teachers who studied the rites of the year, because he was presiding over the major events of building water conservancy, and during his mother's funeral, there was no worry. When Ding was worried, the imperial court did not allow incumbent officials to abide by the system according to their needs, and they were called to seize affection, or some of them were not yet satisfied, but those who were called out to serve at the request of the imperial court were called revenge. Favoritism is not a treatment that everyone can enjoy, and it is generally only used by officials with special status and playing a major role.

Ding Wei is about to resign, and winning love is a very rare thing. Therefore, for most incumbent officials, Ding Wei means the loss of rights and interests, it means breaking away from the network of relationships that they have painstakingly managed, and it means a setback in their careers.

In the late Qing Dynasty, scholars and scholars always regarded themselves as "Zhengxue" grandmasters, and in their view, concealing and not reporting the loss of their parents was regarded as a villain's behavior that was keen on profit and greedy for power. And Lin Yizhe did not abide by the system to raise his aunt Lin Puqing, and took his aunt as a concubine during his aunt's serious illness, not only "greedy for power", but also "bad morals"!

And Xu Run knew that the reason why Qingliu made a big fuss about this was to force Lin Yizhe to keep the system for three years!

"Your Excellency, you know that if you really keep the system for three years, in these three years, no matter what major changes there are, adults will be powerless!"

"I understand what Mr. means." Lin Yizhe saw Xu Run's anxious appearance, understood what he was worried about, and smiled slightly, "It's just that if I keep the system, I'm afraid that the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor may not be approved!" ”

"How do you know that the two palaces are not allowed?" Xu Run asked in surprise.

Lin Yizhe smiled, opened the letterbox, took out two letters, and handed them to Xu Run.

Xu Run took the letter and did not open it immediately, but looked at the envelope, after he read it, he was shocked to find that these two letters, one was written by Cheng'en Gong Chongqi, and the other was a letter from Li Lianying, the chief eunuch of the inner court, who was transferred by Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili!

"This letter was just delivered today." Lin Yizhe said, "The difference between before and after is only two hours. ”

Xu Run didn't speak, but opened the letter and read it carefully.

After a while, Xu Run finished reading the two letters.

"It's raining just in time!" A look of disbelief flashed in Xu Run's eyes, "Cheng Engong's help is timely, needless to say." Xu Run said, raising Li Lianying's "letter of help": "This Manager Li also came to help the adults eliminate disasters and difficulties, I really didn't expect it!" ”

"I didn't expect that the method of cracking this time would fall on the inner prison." Lin Yizhe thought that Li Lianying's appearance at this time might help him a lot, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now he somewhat understands why Li Hongzhang, Sun Yuwen and other important ministers had to have a relationship with Li Lianying, the great eunuch of the inner court.

"My lord is not in a hurry to defend himself, and first think of helping this Mr. Li solve the problem of golden silk nan. As long as we help him with this, the next thing, without the help of adults, someone will help us solve it. Xu Run immediately began to calculate for Lin Yizhe, "I only know that in addition to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places still have this wood produced, but it is not easy to ...... transport."

"You don't have to run that far." Lin Yizhe smiled confidently, "Taiwan's Tainan is not much different from Chuannan, just use it for him." ”

"It turns out that adults have already had a plan." Only then did Xu Run understand why Lin Yizhe looked confident, "Did the adults ...... a long time ago?"

"Originally, I wanted to curry favor with the two palaces, and the purpose was to develop Taiwan in the name of collecting wood and helping the gardeners." Lin Yizhe said, "Now it seems that I have to use it for this manager Li for emergency first." ”

"Are you sure that Taiwan produces golden silk nanmu?" Xu Run asked again with some unease.

Lin Yizhe nodded, "The so-called golden silk nanmu, that is, there are gold silk patterns in nanmu, and Taiwan also produces them, in fact, Tainan is the same as Sichuan Nan, Min Nan and Yunnan Nan, all of which are the best materials for building palaces, and their qualitative properties are not much different." ”

Lin Yizhe said, got up and took another box, and took out the wood chip specimens of various woods that he had collected during his previous trip to Fufan, the hinterland of Taiwan, and showed it to Xu Run.

"Sir, please see, it is a specimen of this kind of wood, its wood color is light orange yellow and slightly gray, the wood is warm and peaceful, delicate and accessible, the texture is elegant and quiet, and some show the pattern of mountains and rivers or tabby. Among them, there is the ultimate beauty, that is, Jin Sinan, which is shining golden in the sun, shining like a cloud brocade. Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "In the Fan Realm, there are many such woods, and the people of Fan do not know its preciousness, and they often cut it down to burn charcoal." If Mr. Li had learned that Fan had used this wood to burn charcoal, he didn't know what it would have been. ”
