Wu Ge Lao's apartment is located on Taifusi Street, just on the north side of Li Ge Lao Hutong, only more than half a mile away, Zhang Yuan was helpless, followed the teacher Yang Lian and walked quickly, and wanted to say: "Teacher Yang, the sky will not fall all at once, don't be in such a hurry, take your time——"

But I heard Yang Lian say: "The DPRK and China are now traitors, and the good are empty, you just returned to Beijing, and you don't know how sinister the situation is." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I have heard of it. ”

Yang Lian sighed: "Jiezi, you can't avoid the party struggle in the imperial court, where can you want to be left and right, now that the gentlemen of Donglin have all been deposed, the traitorous party has to deal with you and Hanshe." ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "The students' mission to North Korea is by no means to avoid trouble, and how can the students of the Han Society compare with the sages of Donglin, except for a few people who have entered the Han Society, most of them are still studying hard to deal with the imperial examination, and the three parties want to deal with our Han Society, which is simply a sledgehammer to smash ants." ”

Yang Lian strode forward, and said sideways: "Fang Shoufu doesn't think so, his son Fang Hongjian was forced to resign from the position of Shangbao Sicheng because of you, which made Fang Shoufu's face very ugly, and then there was Yao Zongwen's instigation, and Fang Shoufu is not a very elegant person, a few days ago, I received a note from the governor of Liaodong, it is said that Fang Shoufu is happy——"

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "Has Governor Li's recital been delivered, it would be nice if there was such a speed in the rectification of Liaodong." ”

Yang Lian said: "Wu Ge Lao saw the music and was very worried, so I was anxious for you to visit Wu Ge Lao and discuss countermeasures, I can't let the traitor party sweep me away, Ding Si will investigate this result in Beijing, Wu Ge Lao is disheartened and wants to resign and return to his hometown." He came to the aid in isolation. Alas. Son, why did you fall into such a trick for them to be arrested, this crime of inciting vassal states to do rebellious things is really not small. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "When I see Elder Wu Ge, let the students be careful." ”

Laifu, Wang Dazhui and Sheba and Ma Kuoqi followed Zhang Yuan, accompanied by Yang Lian's servant, when they walked to the east end of Taifusi Street, a sedan chair lined with the sunset came one after another, and the people in the sedan chair bowed their hands to Yang Lian and said: "Yang is going to see Wu Ge Lao again?" He motioned for the sedan chair to stop.

Someone came backlight, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and didn't see who it was for a while. Hearing this person speak, he knew that it was Yao Zongwen, so he couldn't help but smile and arched his hand: "Lord Yao, don't come unharmed." "Social etiquette is not to be abolished, which is another thing than being pushed into the river.

Yao Zongwen deliberately ignored Zhang Yuan, and did not think that Zhang Yuan would greet him, but when he saw Zhang Yuan saluting him, he turned his head, ignored him, showed humiliation, and squinted at Zhang Yuan with cold eyes. Zhang Yuan did not look ashamed.

Yang Lian snorted: "Lord Yao has seen Han Yushi, who do you want to impeach?" ”

Yao Zongwen said solemnly: "I am an official. For the gains and losses of the government and the officials and virtuous officials, they should be admonished and inspected, otherwise they will harm the world. ”

Zhang Yuan immediately sneered: "With Lord Yao's character, he dares to say such a thing, is he drinking too much Yuhe sewage, losing his heart and talking nonsense, do you really think that people in the world are easy to bully?" ”

Yao Zongwen saw Zhang Yuan saluting him, thinking that Zhang Yuan was jealous of him after knowing the results of the Jingcha, he never expected that Zhang Yuan would mention the matter of pushing him into the river last year in person, and he suddenly rushed to his head, trembling with anger, he could no longer pretend not to see Zhang Yuan, and pointed at Zhang Yuan and said: "You, you, you are presumptuous!" ”

Zhang Yuan said slowly: "Lord Yao jumped up and down in this Beijing inspection, slandered Zhongliang and spared no effort, did he ever take advantage of this to be promoted?" Harming others is not beneficial to oneself, this is what Lord Yao said? ”

Yao Zongwen was expected to be promoted to the imperial history of the left capital in this Jingcha, but Zhang Wenda, the official of the Imperial Palace, had a very bad view of Yao Zongwen, and resolutely refused to allow it, and finally it was the Li Kedu of the Qi Party that Zhou Yongchun was promoted to the imperial history of the left capital, Yao Zongwen was very frustrated, and hated Zhang Yuan more and more, Zhang Wenda had a bad impression of him because of his Yuhe falling into the water last year, when he said that Zhang Yuan pushed him into the water, Zhang Wenda did not believe it, and thought that he was slandered, and most of the people in the Beijing also thought that it was him Yao Zongwen who falsely accused Zhang Yuan, This is really a strange injustice for the ages!

The area of Li Ge Old Hutong and Taifu Street are all official residences, and when the street dispute is detrimental to decency, Yang Lian pulled Zhang Yuan's sleeve: "Jiezi, let's go, gossip is useless." Yao Zongwen, who was trembling with anger, gave a slight gesture and strode past the sedan chair.

When he arrived at the door of Wu Daonan's small courtyard, Yang Lian looked back and saw that Yao Zongwen's sedan chair was still parked at the corner of the street, and couldn't help laughing: "Jiezi, you can make Yao very angry." He shook his head again and said: "You are really a young man, why bother with this quick tongue, you are simply scolding on the street, and you are out of the official gentleman's manners." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Since the grievance is difficult to solve, simply provoke him, and under the anger, words and deeds will be lost." ”

The wooden door "squeaked", and an old servant of Wu Daonan came out and welcomed Yang Lian and Zhang Yuan in, and a few servants were waiting in front of the door.

Yao Zongwen, who was on the street over there, gritted his teeth for a long time before he came to his senses, and instructed the sedan chair man: "Go to the old mansion of Yongfang Fangge in Dashi." ”

……

Wu Daonan was skinny and in good spirits, and he was quite happy to see Zhang Yuan, and after greeting him a few words, he said: "Jiezi, you will tell me in detail about the beginning and end of your trip to North Korea." ”

Zhang Yuan immediately told the Nalan Bakshi secret meeting with Guanghaijun, Ayayangjun to put things in order, and the attack on Phoenix Mountain, Wu Daonan nodded slowly after hearing this: "Jie Zi acted very right, and he thought it through, both the performance of the Korean Concubine Renmu and the capture of the slave chieftain's envoy, the evidence is conclusive, it is not easy for Yao Zongwen and others to impeach you in this matter." ”

Yang Lian said: "Liaodong Governor Li's performance is not good for Zhang Yuan, and Yao Zong's literary generation will take advantage of this to make waves. ”

Wu Daonan took out a copy of Li Weihan's performance from the desk and handed it to Zhang Yuandao: "Look at it, this is Governor Li's performance, which was sent to the celebrant yesterday. ”

Zhang Yuan took the recital, only to see the above said:

"Li Weihan, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, was ordered to inspect Liaodongchen Li Weihan: Seeing that the abolition of the establishment has never been seen in 200 years, once it was rumored, wouldn't it be shocking! It has been ten years since the Joseon king Li Hui attacked the foreign vassals, and the Ayayang monarch is a pro-faction, and the minister of the country is also. Monarchs and ministers have fixed points, but the crown and shoes cannot be reversed. Even if Hunguo is not Tao, it is also advisable to listen to the concubine's performance, and wait for China to change. Xi Zhi usurped the king with his ministers and abolished his uncle with his nephews, Li Liang's heart not only has no Hui, but also has no China. The guilt of the deserved repentance. To Zhen Wang Gang—"

See here. No matter how good Zhang Yuan is, he is a little angry, and said: "Governor Li actually said that he would raise troops to recruit North Korea, it is really funny, last year Nurha Chi established the country and called Khan and killed the Han people, Governor Li was not so indignant, North Korea just changed a king, no, Li Liang is temporarily the right to act as a state affair." is still asking the Ming Dynasty to canonize him, and Governor Li said that he wants to condemn the crime, isn't this bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? ”

Wu Daonan said: "Governor Li doesn't really want to conquer North Korea, he wants to make the situation serious, and the purpose is to impeach you." ”

Yang Lian asked: "Jie Zi, you and Governor Li have no enmity in the past, why did you go to Liaodong and make Governor Li so dissatisfied with you?" ”

Zhang Yuan quickly finished reading Li Weihan's recital, and said: "Nurhachi's righteous son, Huer Khan, disguised himself as a horse thief and infiltrated the eastern border wall of Liaodong and attacked the mission in Phoenix Mountain. He was repelled by the Lianshanguan musketeers and the accompanying Jinyi guards, and Huer Khan was killed. Governor Li did not blame himself for not being strict on the side, but blamed me for many things, thinking that it was I who captured Nalambaksh in Korea that caused the attack of Huer Khan, and now Huer Khan is dead again, Governor Li is afraid that the slave chieftain will be unable to resist the big attack, so he wants to put the blame on me - Huer Khan pretended to be a horse thief to rob, and I didn't know that Nalan Bakesh was in my hands, and the thief robbed a Shandong caravan in Sanyangwei, which is clearly proven, and even if Huer Khan is coming against me, should I tie my hands to calm the anger of the slave chief, In this way, the peace of Liaodong can be guaranteed? Since last year, the natural disasters in Jianzhou have been serious, and a small group of thieves have frequently entered and plundered the people of Liaodong, and Governor Li cannot resist the enemy and protect the safety of the people, but he attacks me to relieve responsibility, which is really shameless! ”

Wu Daonan sighed: "These officials only plan for their own net worth, and they don't care about the safety of the country and the dynasty. ”

Zhang Yuan said again: "Governor Li said in the middle of the song, 'Even if Hunguo is not Tao, it is also advisable to listen to the concubine Gu's performance, and wait for China to change' This is even more ridiculous, Concubine Renmu was imprisoned in the cold palace by Guanghaijun, and she can't see her daughter, how to play to Daming?" Governor Li is shirking his responsibility and beating him upside, Guanghaijun slaughtered his brother and killed his brother, detained his mother and concubine, made personal friends with slave chiefs, and harbored two hearts, why didn't Governor Li report to the court and warn Guanghaijun? ”

Yang Lian said: "Li Weihan is stupid and incompetent, such unreasonable attacks are not to be considered, but when the traitorous party is collecting the so-called stains of Jie Zi and Han Society everywhere, Yao Zongwen and others will definitely hold on to Jie Zi." ”

Zhang Yuan said to Wu Daonan: "The student has a detailed diary for this mission, and I will send it to the teacher tomorrow at a glance, and the teacher must not be discouraged. ”

Yang Lian also said: "Yes, if there is no Wu Ge Lao in the cabinet, the traitorous party will have no scruples, the group will be small, and the society will be in danger." ”

When twilight fell, Yang Lian and Plaintiff Zhang resigned from Wu Daonan's apartment, Yang Lian calmed down a lot at this time, and said: "I was anxious to get Li Weihan to impeach you the day before yesterday, but after seeing you today, I don't feel anxious, you seem to have expected today's situation and have a way to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Most of the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee are controlled by the three parties, and they have the power to advise and discuss, and I don't have any good way, what I have to do now is to make the Qing Discussion not extinguished, and I want to make my voice heard." ”

Yang Lian's neck stiffened, and he said awe-inspiringly: "If Yang Lian is in the Liuke Corridor for a day, he will fight the traitorous party to the end." ”

Shanrou is undefeated, too rigid and easy to break, Zhang Yuan said: "Teacher Yang does not have to go-for-tat with them, you must know that there are many non-three parties in Beijing, and we must win the support of these officials." ”

After Ding Si's inspection of Beijing, the three parties deposed Donglin, but there were hundreds of Beijing officials, and there were only dozens of people who really belonged to the three parties, and most of the Beijing officials were neither Donglin nor the three parties, of course, these officials did not hold important positions-

Yang Liandao: "Most of those officials are grass on the wall, and now the traitorous party is in control, how can those officials be willing to speak up for us." ”

Teacher Yang is too upright and not good at uniting people, Zhang Yuan diverted the topic and asked: "Teacher Yang guesses where Yao Zongwen is now?" ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "I must have gone to the old mansion of Yongfang Pavilion to accuse you." ”

……

When Yao Zongwen came to Fang Congzhe's mansion, Shao Fuzhong of the Ministry of Rites was reporting to Fang Congzhe about Zhang Yuan's envoy and the Korean envoy, Yao Zongwen couldn't say that he was humiliated by Zhang Yuan on the street, but said: "Fang Ge Lao, the official only saw Yang Lian and Zhang Yuan go to Wu Gechen's apartment in the matter of Hu Ke, and I don't know what to plot?" ”

Fang Congzhe smiled, and said sarcastically: "Zhang Yuan went to see Wu Huifu before he even returned home, he really worked for the country-Shao Langzhong, you finish reading the concert of the Korean envoy." ”

Shao Fuzhong unfolded his transcription of the Korean envoys' notes, and continued to read: "——Gwanghae is established, listens to slander and thieves, generates resentment, hates the queen mother, claustrophobic palace, humiliates to the extreme, and kills his brother, slaughters his nephews, and exterminates Yi Lun, and there is no reason to restore people. The inner work is desolate, and the appetite is unrestrained; The outer camp palace room has not been ten years. is even more double-minded, loses money and slave chiefs, betrays gratitude, and fears the destiny of heaven; He also reprimanded the elderly, nicknamed the group small, the punishment was heavy, the people were screaming, the gods were angry, and the sect was about to fall. From time to time, Li Gui and Li Shi and others, in order to show respect for the king's old ministers, they were not able to overcome the worries of the country's danger, they worked hard to be loyal and indignant, and swore to appease the internal difficulties. It was in the May of Wanli Ding Si, entangled the righteous brigade, gathered the courtiers, ran to the princess of Renmu in the palace, preached and abolished Hui, and set up Zhaojing Wang Sun Ayayang Junliang, with the order of the princess, the right to sign state affairs. Send an envoy to the Celestial Empire, ask the emperor to gain insight into the affairs of his country, and enthrone the emperor so that Ayayang Junzong can be enshrined in the country......"

After Shao Fuzhong finished reading, Fang Congzhe nodded, and said to Yao Zongwen: "The concert of the princess of the Korean state Renmu and the envoy did not mention Zhang Yuan's participation in the subversion Anyway, Zhang Yuan is detached from the matter, what does Yao think about this matter?" ”

Yao Zongwen said: "This is naturally out of Zhang Yuan's instructions, and I see that his heart is empty, otherwise, when Ayayang Jun committed the rebellion, Zhang Yuan was in Seoul, how could he stay out of the matter!" ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Although this is the case, but the princess of the Joseon Dynasty and the envoy of the concert clearly wrote, this is the internal difficulty of the DPRK, Zhang Yuan just did not complete the mission of canonization, and he also brought back Nurhachi's subordinate Nalan Bakshi, who is known as the treasure of Jianzhou, and also commanded Ruoding outside Lianshan Pass, killing Huerhan, one of the five ministers of Jianzhou, and the envoy can also make military achievements, which is rare and rare." ”

Shao Fuzhong was silent, Yao Zongwen sneered again and again, he heard the ridicule in Fang Congzhe's words, and said: "Zhang Yuan refused to defend himself wherever he went, and when he was a child, he dared to instigate the Huating scholars to besiege Dong Hanlin, causing Dong Hanlin's family to be ruined.

Fang Congzhe snorted lightly, Yao Zongwen knew that Fang Congzhe didn't want to mention his son Fang Hongji, so he said: "Zhang Yuan sent an envoy to North Korea, and he dared to stir up trouble and commit rebellion. ”

Fang Congzhe did not comment, but said to Shao Fuzhong: "The matter of canonizing Ayayang Jun is delayed, and it is not too late to inquire clearly, you tell He Shilang, just say that this is my suggestion." ”

Shao Fuzhong said: "Yes." ”

Fang Congzhe said to Yao Zongwen again: "Let people learn more about the truth from those officials who sent envoys to North Korea, and don't impeach others rashly." ”

Fang Congzhe said that he was determined to deal with Zhang Yuan, Yao Zongwen was secretly happy, and then suddenly thought of a person - Ruan Dacheng, although this person is a person from the Han Society, but he is very respectful to him when he meets on the road, as if he is sycophant, Ruan Dacheng is the deputy envoy to North Korea this time, and he must know Zhang Yuan's secrets, if he can bring Ruan Dacheng over, it will definitely give Zhang Yuan a fatal knife.
