Chapter 411: A gentleman is a friend but not a party
Now, Zheng Chengguan is really on the cusp of the storm, Jingshi Wei Shi and Wei Shi pointed directly at the uncle of the country, this thing, all dynasties and dynasties are big killers, you talk to others about benevolence and righteousness, others don't talk to you about benevolence and righteousness, the obedient official doesn't say it, he is actually very annoyed in his heart, he was ready to slowly try it, but now it seems that others are not giving him this opportunity.
Looking at the smile on the face of the obedient official, Dong Qichang couldn't help but feel a little sad, lowered his voice and said: "Feng Zhang, in the year of your dancing elephant, you have been a general and military, and there have been almost no dynasties in all dynasties, and the edge is too exposed, although the concubine is favored now, but this kind of thing, it is impossible to say, and besides, there are all kinds of people around His Majesty・・・・・・ "He didn't say this, but the meaning is clear, no matter how capable a person is, he can be favored again, but there is an idiom called three people become tigers, and the things in this world can't stand the two skins of people's mouths, Now even the rumors of Zheng Shengcheng Huangwu have come out, although it is said that the emperor's favor is undiminished, but this rumor is not sure whether it has become a thorn buried in his heart, and he is not sure when it will break out.
"As the saying goes, personnel and personnel have always been less people doing things, and there are more hind legs, according to my meaning, in fact, you should make a ...... yourself" Dong Qichang's face was full of worry, the obedient official knew what he meant, but it was not easy to say, don't worry, my sister Zheng Guifei has been favored for more than 30 years, and it is clearly written in the history books that she had to smile and interrupt him, "Big brother, what do you mean?" I went to the table to say goodbye to my hometown? Then go to Ningbo Taoguang to raise obscurity? Eldest brother, I grew up at the feet of the Son of Heaven, a person from Beijing, where to return home! ”
Dong Qichang first heard him say a speech about returning to his hometown, and secondly, he looked at his indifferent expression, and for a while, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so he couldn't help but stomp his feet, "Fengzhang, I'm talking to you seriously!" ”
"Brother, I'm also talking to you seriously." The obedient official put away the smile on his face, and said lightly: "However, a few prisoners of the national prison thought that they were the officials of the court when they became the head of the society...... Among these people, there are certainly people with backbones, but the more such people are, the more useless they are to the country, and their ability is probably just two words, party fighting・・・・・・"
Speaking of this, he pouted and smiled, but it was just the prototype of the Donglin Party, where did he come from? A bunch of literati who can only fight in the party are just some tricks, and they are really under the butcher's knife, and they surrender faster than anyone else.
Just like Zhang Pu, the later Donglin giant, the founder of the Fushe Society, and Zhang Pu, who wrote the "Tombstone of Five", after the death of this person, the huge Donglin Party, there was no one to handle the aftermath for him, why? They are all busy bargaining with Zhou Yanru, who is the elder of the pavilion, and strive for a good official position, this is their own future business, naturally they have to be attentive, naturally they have to figure it out, they naturally have to run・・・・・・ they have to give birth to Zhou Ge Lao's eggs, so that they can find a good future.
Historically, the 32-year-old Zhang Pu held the famous Tiger Hill Conference, and the Zuo, Jiangzuo, Jin, Chu, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces were watched by thousands of people in the world, and finally became a huge political force.
In the end, Ma Shiying, who was scolded by the history books as a traitor, traveled thousands of miles in a month, and did the aftermath for Zhang Pu, and it was also Ma Shiying, who was reprimanded as a eunuch, who resisted the Tartar Qing Dynasty and would not surrender, and was finally stripped of the skin and grass by the Qing soldiers.
He knew that most of the 12 chiefs of the Guozijian at that time had something to do with the life of the Wei Wei poem to frame his own life, but he couldn't bear it, he just slashed and killed the life light in front of the portrait of the master, and did enough to be the head of the uncle of the country, so he left with a high spirit, presumably in the minds of those Guozijian Jiangnan Shizi Group, but it was just a cousin who suddenly won the favor of the face!
He is ready to put a long line to catch a big fish, and now his power is not heavy, but even if he really catches all the so-called eight gentlemen of Donglin in later generations and cuts off his head, there may not be Xilin, Nanlin, Beilin, maybe, there will be Shaolin, Dalin, Xiaolin・・・・・・ after all, it is the atmosphere at that time, it is the era of the merchant group's wanton pursuit of political status, if you don't stop this wind and kill the likes of Gao Panlong, there will inevitably be short Panlong, Long Panlong, and Short Panlong who jump out to sing praises for the merchant group.
The rise of merchant groups, this is already an inevitable trend in history, it is inevitable, this, the obedient officials are clear, but even in later generations, in the world of Western capital, there is a proper term called anti-monopoly, that is, the antitrust law that everyone is familiar with five hundred years later.
In the Ming Dynasty, an era when the status of merchants was rising day by day, later generations always liked to say that the budding capitalism at that time was strangled by feudalism, but they turned a blind eye to the fact that the merchant group collapsed the entire Ming Dynasty.
Just like the one he wrote in the original Star Wars tone, the business alliance manipulated the government and formed an oligarchy, which led to the bankruptcy of small and medium-sized merchants and landlords, and then dragged the entire empire into a quagmire and collapsed......
At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, those literati groups, why wasn't this the case? Take Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, as an example, the notes of the contemporaries say that he said: In the Spring and Autumn Period, which is the first and which is the best, and which is the first, Shu Chang (Zhang Pu) has been compiled to leave no one behind. It is also said that there are dozens of hundreds of people who have become famous by virtue of their awards丨丨Chinese-style people are all people who have returned to the society, so those who are disciples are eager to join the society, and those who are fathers and brothers are also unhappy children to join the society...... 丨
Isn't this a huge Langjin group!
And look at what Zhang Pu did in order to make the teacher Zhou Yanru take the position? The history book says: Taicang Zhang Pu is the gateway plan, and the dove gold is 200,000 bribes to be Jin, and Yixing (Zhou Yanru) has to be called again.
Isn't this a political donation?
These people claim to be gentlemen, but they can never hide the fact that capital is profit-seeking.
It's that everyone has selfish intentions, and this is understandable for a good official, but while chasing money and status, and at the same time wanting a gentleman's reputation, this can't be understood. Where in the world is there such a good thing?
Therefore, the obedient officials expressed their understanding of the landlords and merchant groups at that time who were striving for status, but this pursuit had to be within a certain scope, not as in history, they refused to pay taxes and enjoyed all kinds of preferential treatment from the state, which eventually made a mess of the government and the huge Ming Empire collapsed.
Of course, at this time, there was no such thing as the Donglin Party, but now Gao Panlong, Gu Yuncheng, and Xue Fujiao, these Donglin Party cadres, have already revealed their clues, to put it bluntly, it is the Shizi group dominated by wealthy landlords and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River who are striving to pursue their own political status, but they have just put a layer of so-called gentleman's skin on the outside, and that's it.
In fact, the obedient official vaguely felt that the later generations were called Mr. Donglin丨 The current head of the Ministry of Officials is successful, I am afraid that it will account for a great deal of stake in this matter, you must know that this Wanli four years of the township test first, Wanli eight years to the second place in the second place to enter the Shidi of the great talent, the great celebrity, but the teacher of King Lu, King Lu is the favorite youngest son of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, and now he is married, but he did not go out of Beijing according to the ancestral system, and is still stranded in Beijing...... This lord enjoyed the treatment of the emperor after his death in history, and even surpassed his brother Zhu Yijun's Dingling, which was called the Central Plains Dingling by later generations, and the scale directly followed his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.
Maybe there is a magistrate who wants to say that the grave after death has a copper coin relationship with the living him?
Of course it has a relationship, the ancient Yin Mansion was repaired when he was alive, like Emperor Wanli, isn't he already repairing his dragon's lair, how old is Wanli this year? He became an emperor at the age of ten, and this year is the twelfth year of Wanli, that is, he is twenty-two years old, and he will build a tomb.
Even the obedient officials sometimes wonder if the Empress Dowager Li vaguely hinted at the youngest son or something, causing this Prince Lu to build a tomb beyond the emperor even if he died.
Since Gu Xiancheng is the teacher of this Lu Wangye, the obedient official doesn't mind causing some trouble to the Empress Dowager Li, why not, he didn't deliberately speculate, in fact, the most scooping method of Qingliu at that time was to create gossip, such as the famous demon book case of the Wanli Dynasty in history, that is, the matter of his sister Zheng Guifei, and then considering the three major suspicious cases of the attack case and the red pill case, according to the inference that whoever benefits in later generations is the biggest suspect, the biggest beneficiary is the Donglin Party that put Zhu Changluo on the throne.
As for poor Wanli, after five hundred years of black pot and death, Wanli righteous people and gentlemen scolded Wanli for his greed, but never mentioned so many natural disasters in the Wanli Dynasty, Zhu Yijun always exempted the local money and grain, and allocated silver from the treasury obtained from the looting of industrial and commercial taxes for disaster relief・・・・・・ of course, these natural disasters, in the mouth of the righteous gentleman, is also because of Wanli's own bad character, the punishment from God.
In fact, the so-called clear stream is the same as the brick family of later generations, mainly to beat the side drum for vested interest groups, and take the eggs of interest groups as a way to advance.
However, these words are too advanced to Dong Qichang, and the obedient official has to tell him some simple truths, such as who benefits is the biggest suspect, today's Qingliu, the voice is basically controlled in the hands of the Jiangnan Shizi Group, then, the people who do the poetry must be these people, and the imperial court's control of public opinion is inevitably too lax, which makes these ill-intentioned people have a lot of thoughts.
To what extent was the imperial court's laxity in public opinion at that time? As mentioned above, the sects headed by Luojiao, that is, the so-called many cults in later generations, their classics were printed by the Royal Printing House, compared to the Tatar Qing Dynasty because of a sentence 丨 Qingfeng is illiterate why they are going to lose their heads, then I really don't know how lax it is.
In addition, Ming Ji is the era of reflection on science, and the trend of thought that personal interests are above all else is on the rise, and even those Donglin gentlemen who claim to be gentlemen and friends but not party members have surrendered to Taqing without any pressure, let alone others!
This kind of chaos in the period of economic transition, that is a historical inevitability, in Europe, the monarchs of all countries are engaged in religious cleansing, in order to stabilize the passage, such as the era is still alive King Philip II of Spain and his wife, Queen Mary I of England, these two are famous for engaging in religious purge, Mary I is even more bloody Mary this terrible nickname, but aside from the cruel side, in a special era, it is necessary to this kind of forced iron-fisted politics, in order to successfully survive the difficulties.
And the Ming Dynasty, compared to Europe at the same time, was too democratic, so democratic that when the enemy arrived at the doorstep, he had to fight for a Ding Mao first... ・・・
However, this kind of concept made Dong Qichang, who suddenly heard it, widen his eyes, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Feng Zhang, even killing people has been told so many ways, and I have been a little confused by you, according to what you said, it is now the time for merchants to strive for status in the countries of Europa, this opposition to divinity and advocacy of human nature is quite the taste of the way of the people of my Ming Dynasty is the way of the saints......"
The obedient official smiled bitterly in his heart, this Brother Dong is really confident, but in a few hundred years, the self-confidence of the Celestial Empire will be completely lost, and on the other hand, we are like others.
"My brother has a point." He nodded, "This method is like a gardener building branches and spreading branches of a growing sapling, and it is also a necessary means, if it is allowed to develop, it will inevitably become a failure......
Dong Qichang nodded his head at this, there are no rules! Immediately, he said, "That's it, okay!" This time, brother, I'll try my best to help you out. Saying that, without waiting for the good official to speak, he turned his head and went out, the good official stared straight in his eyes, "Big brother, big brother..." shouted several times, but Dong Qichang had already gone far away, and the two Kunlun female slaves next to Bao Yiman Bei Horui pursed their lips and laughed, Bao Yiman chuckled and said: "The slave looks at the eldest master and is also bent on helping the master do things・・・・・・
Now there is an unwritten rule in the family of the good official, Dong Qichang is called the eldest master, the second master must refer to Chen Jiru, and the good official is naturally the master, as for the national master, he has been promoted to the old man or the old lady, this can't blame everyone for calling the good official old, it is really that he is now a big man, and the dignified uncle is the governor, if he is still called the young master, it will inevitably be inappropriate.
The obedient official had to shake his head, estimating, Dong Qichang must have gone to the Hanlin Academy to find colleagues, fellow villagers, and these relationships in the same year, don't forget, Dong Qichang is the Nanzhili Township to try Yayuan, and a stroke of calligraphy and painting is unparalleled in the world, in the Ming Dynasty, this is the best pass, he wants to go in tandem, than the obedient official to collect the younger brother in person, which is much stronger.
From ancient times to the present, the superior has raised royal literati, and this is the reason.
And at this time, Gu Xiancheng, who has been slandered countless times, is giving a lecture to the younger brother of the Son of Wanli Lu, what he is talking about today is his proud work of the year.
Back then, the old king of the cabinet, Xijue, once made the following criticism of this great genius who likes to criticize the government and politics: When the most strange person today, what the court thinks is right, outsiders must think it is wrong. What the court thinks is wrong, outsiders must think is right.
And Gu Xiancheng refused to give in, and sneered at each other: I think it should be said that what outsiders think is right, the court must think it is wrong. What outsiders think is wrong, the court must think it is right.
Speaking from the heart, Gu Xiancheng's argument is still quite meritorious, but in the era of Ming Ji, when even the rebellious cult printed scriptures were printed in the Royal Press, freedom of speech can be regarded as indulgent, and the biggest problem in the world is not that there are too few voices, but too many voices, and Gu Xiancheng resolutely believes that there are still too few voices in the world, and if the imperial court suppresses speech a little, then this imperial court will be defeated, and the evil party should be replaced by a group of gentlemen to abbot the imperial court.
