Chapter 12: Swearing
Zhang Jiayin obviously didn't know about this situation, and when he heard Yang Chengzu say that he actually advanced money to save himself, seeing that his eyes couldn't help but change, he suddenly left the table and stood up, and said respectfully: "Yang Baizai, Zhang Mou had a misunderstanding of Baizai before, it's really ...... It is really the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, in today's world, it is rare to see people like your Excellency who have the spirit of ancient heroes. How can Zhang be virtuous, he has to meet Junyan, he is really fortunate to have three lives, please accept my worship. ”
There was a very bad atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and this atmosphere has been affected by later generations, that is, the ancient and the present. believes that all good qualities belong to the ancients, and now people are a group of scum, and the real gentlemen and righteous people have to be found from ancient times.
If a person of the time has the excellent qualities of an ancient, it is worth writing a special book to prove that the ancient spirit has not been completely extinct. As for the fact that this man is a modern person, no one pays attention to it at all.
When those literati and writers got together to criticize the imperial court, they would cite the ancient sages as a template, believing that the present is not as good as the ancient. When a person is praised, it will be said that this person has the style of the ancients, and he is an ancient gentleman. Of course, this kind of praise is generally concentrated on the literati, and the martial arts are vulgar, and it is impossible to have such a high style.
Yang Chengzu's behavior is, in Zhang Jiayin's view, a typical ancient relic. He didn't know that Yang Chengzu had the idea of contracting, but when the other party petitioned to bankrupt his family in order to save a person like him who he didn't know, isn't this the style of the ancients that he has always admired, and Meng Weijun is just like that, right? As for saying that he opened his mouth to ask for money, this is just the story of Zigong's ransom of the cow, and it should be so.
Originally, I thought that the good qualities of those ancient times could only be found from readers. Unexpectedly, a mere warrior in brocade clothes has such a high wind and bright festival, how can Zhang Jiayin not worship? He is not worshipping this person, but this ancient style that he has always admired.
As mentioned above, Daming is now an era when life is not easy and it all depends on acting skills, but Yang Chengzu's words were understood by Zhang Jiayin to another level, and his unintentional performance was a great success. Besides, what does the appearance of such an ancient gentleman in his county mean? Doesn't it mean that he, the county shepherd, is well-guarded, and his virtue is born by the common people.
Originally, Zhang Jiayin wanted to use each other with Jinyiwei to suppress this turmoil, and then go their own way, and no one should have anything to do with anyone. The benefits that you should pay will definitely be paid, but even if you have deep friendship, there is no need to go back and forth between civil and military. Now that he has changed his mind, if such an old-fashioned and warm-hearted gentleman doesn't pay him, what kind of person will he pay to? This friend not only wants to make friends, but also makes deep friends, and this friend is going to be determined.
Yang Chengzu naturally couldn't really let him worship him, and after a long time of entanglement, Zhang Xianzun couldn't defeat him after all, so he had to sit back in his place, but he said: "This official's life is all thanks to Yang Baizai's rescue." In the future, the two of us will be a family, although you and I belong to the civil and military, but we have the same temper, it is better to worship a Jinlan today, I don't know if Yang Baizai is willing. ”
In the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for officialdom to worship, which was called the Internet. But a seven-pin main hall rushed to find a brocade cloth hundred households to worship, that is the miracle of miracles. Zhang Jiayin is a Jinshi of Zhengde for eleven years, the future of the future is immeasurable, compared to a hundred households in brocade, I don't know where to go, under normal circumstances, it is Jinyiwei crying and hoping to worship others, and the other party does not look down on it is right......
His proposal can be regarded as giving Yang Chengzu enough face, and in the future, relying on this sworn relationship alone, I don't know how much benefit it can bring to Yang Chengzu. This is also Zhang Jiayin's recognition that Yang Chengzu is a gentleman of the ancient way, so he has no civil and military views.
Yang Chengzu naturally didn't give face, he was busy climbing, and the relationship between the two changed from colleagues to Jin Lan's siblings. Officialdom worships, don't engage in the tricks of cutting chicken heads and burning yellow paper on the rivers and lakes, everyone just talks about the New Year, and the ceremony is completed if the elders and youngsters are set.
After the oral alliance was formed, the relationship between the two became a lot closer. "Brother Yang Xian, don't worry, all the money you spent is for the arrest of the White Lotus rebels, how can you make a personal advance? How much is needed, you go back and report the amount, and I will ask for money from the Shangxian Yamen, and I will definitely allocate the amount. ”
He drank another glass of wine, "Duan Qianhu of Weihui Mansion still has some friendship with me. Brother, I will go back and help you ask, if it can be solved, it is better to solve it. A young hero like you, if you only do a small flag, Qu Cai, is definitely Qu Cai. ”
Jinyiwei is a relatively closed organization, and the promotion and promotion of personnel in the department does not go through the military department's narration, but is solved by the guard's own narration, and afterwards a document is given to the military department as a notification, and the military department will not refute this note sent by Jinyiwei. The Son of Heaven has its own system, and you outsiders can't get in, even if you want to say something, you don't understand the situation at all.
It is said that a magistrate cannot affect the internal promotion of Jinyiwei, but the regulations are regulations, and the facts are the facts. Wei Hui Mansion's Jinyi Wei Qianhu title is actually awarded to 100 households Duan Biao, who is the top boss of Jinyi in Weihui counties, who he says a word to, and adds a stroke to the performance appraisal, which is very beneficial in the future.
Yang Chengzu said: "What, the old brother and Duan Huhou, you still have dealings?" ”
"Haha, we're fellow villagers. Although we are all literate and martial, but the two of us are real little fellow villagers, the two families are very close, when we were young, we were like-minded, and we also had a verbal alliance, just like our brothers. If I had to say a word, he would have to think about it. ”
The Ming Dynasty is the most important hometown, even if it is just a fellow township in the same province, you must take care of each other, otherwise you will say that you don't understand the feelings of Sangzi, and you can't raise your head in your hometown. And he and Duan Biao are in the same village, this is the closest little fellow villager, and they are brothers in the Koumeng, and the relationship is a little closer. If he wants to protect Yang Chengzu, it will be easy at all.
It's just that he never declares this kind of relationship, no one in the county knows about it, and Duan Biao has not taken the initiative to reveal that there is such a relationship between him and Zhang Jiayin, otherwise, this time Zhang Jiayin was kidnapped, and Jinyiwei still used to mobilize, and he would have gone into battle with the kidnappers a long time ago.
Yang Chengzu is also crooked, impulsive, but he has formed such a good fate, and left a deep impression on Zhang Jiayin. If others want to beg him to do this, they don't know how much money they have to use, but Yang Chengzu's matter, he himself rushed to take it on his body, and after two bows, he and Duan Biaoke also became brothers in the alliance, saying that they would write a letter in a few days to let Yang Chengzu treat Jiayin with respect.
After this matter was finalized, Zhang Jiayin's words changed and turned to those kidnappers, "Since those people are White Lotus Sectists, I think it is better for Jinyiwei and the county government to interrogate and dig out their roots." It's going to take a lot of work. ”
"Where did the eldest brother say, you are giving me credit, how can I not understand what to do." If these criminals fall into the hands of the county government, no matter what the result is, it will be the county government that will profit in the end. If Jinyiwei is involved, this credit will become two, and Jinyiwei can also share the profits.
As for the fact that the credit is thinner as a result, that is purely a matter of thought. Credit is like a cake, bigger and bigger, not thinner. It's just that generally speaking, the relationship between the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty is bad, and whoever has the credit wants to keep it for themselves, and doesn't want others to benefit, and even if they don't get the credit, they don't want to let the other party benefit, and after a hundred years, they will simply dismantle the stage. For example, Zhang Jiayin took the initiative to make the credit bigger, which can be regarded as giving Jinyi enough face.
The sedan chair carries people, and Yang Chengzu has no reason not to give face, so this matter is finalized. And by taking the opportunity of the interrogation, he was able to re-establish his prestige in Jinyi Wei and restore this slippery county Jinyi that was out of his control within his control.
Jiuniang is a high-eyebrow, seeing that the matter here is almost discussed, she is busy with a look, Ruxian gently sat down next to Yang Chengzu and said: "Yang Baizai and Zhang Xianzun Wenwu joined forces to capture the thief today, it is really a great majesty, the little woman toasts you with a cup?" ”
Without waiting for Yang Chengzu to grab the wine glass, Zhang Jiayin's face sank over there, "Jiuniang, what do you mean?" Is your business too smooth, I don't know what to do? My brother is the hero of the youth of Huaxian County, you use this kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp to entertain, are you worried that the county will not be able to give money? Come, fork this slut down for me, and don't let her insult my brother's name. ”
