Huang Daozhou left Huai'an on the same day, as for where he went, Zheng Xunrui didn't care, after Huang Daozhou left Huai'an, Xu Fo's family also returned to Qinhuai River.

However, Huang Daozhou revealed a very important information, that is, Xu Jikuang, the leader of the Shanyin Gang, was actually a student of Huang Daozhou, it seems that this Xu Jikuang's knowledge should be good, and he was appreciated by Huang Daozhou.

There are two implicit meanings in this, one is that as a student of Huai'an Mansion, and it is a gift, Xu Jikuang's knowledge and ability are indeed good, otherwise it would be impossible to lead the Shanyin Gang, the largest Cao Gang in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the other is that Xu Jikuang was originally a member of the Donglin Party, because of his special identity, he received the attention of Huang Daozhou and Qian Qianyi and others.

Zheng Xunrui had to consider whether the Donglin Party members were inextricably linked with the Cao Gang, and even supported the Cao Gang behind their backs, otherwise why would Xu Jikuang be committed to the Cao Gang.

Zheng Xunrui has been completely disappointed in the Donglin Party.

There were many battles between him and the Donglin Party before, but the consideration at that time was to maintain the overall situation, after all, the couplet of Donglin Academy has been passed down through the ages, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned. Judging from this couplet, the fundamental purpose of the Donglin Party is still good, but it is not strictly controlled. It was used by scholars and merchants in the south and became a tool for scholars and merchants to make profits, but after talking with Huang Daozhou, Zheng Xunrui completely understood that the theory adhered to by the Donglin Party was not valid at all. To put it bluntly, it's empty talk.

The reality of the situation gave Zheng Xunrui a great shock.

The pursuit of fame is the dream of every scholar, and everyone wants to be famous for eternity, but if it is sought by improper means, it is a matter of character.

In this respect, the Donglin Party is far inferior to the Zhejiang Party, which is still willing to do practical things.

Regardless of whether the Zhejiang Party represented by Wen Tiren has the ability to help the crisis and stabilize the tilt, at least they still have a certain amount of merit in maintaining the operation of the government or being a framer. On the other hand, what have the Donglin Party people done, in addition to oppressing people with great truths, claiming to be famous, and taking fame and reputation as their own responsibility, what else can they do.

Zheng Xunrui believes that with the development of the current situation, the Donglin Party will become more and more degenerate.

There is an incident in history that reminds Zheng Xunrui. That is Zhang Pu, a member of the Donglin Party, who once controlled the government. made Zhou Yanru the first assistant of the cabinet again.

From this point of view, the Donglin Party was greedy for profit, Zhang Pu was no longer a court official at that time, but he was able to influence the government and decide the imperial examination as the leader of the Donglin Party. This is quite similar to the political system of a certain country hundreds of years later, that is, big businessmen can determine their own policies and can work for their own benefit.

Every system has its own reasoning, and it is difficult to distinguish its advantages and disadvantages. This debate, I'm afraid that it won't be clear after 10,000 years, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and Zheng Xunrui doesn't dare to say that his own understanding is completely correct, but since he has crossed over, he will sway the government according to his own understanding, and let the world develop towards the thinking in his mind.

This is the true purpose of the crossing.

Leaders need to make decisions when doing things, especially in terms of heavy decisions, if they want to solicit opinions from all sides, and are indecisive, then they will not be able to do anything well, because all kinds of people under the leader's command have their own interests, and they will not look at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, and all they see is seeking the greatest benefit for themselves.

When he saw Xu Jikuang, Zheng Xunrui's heart sank slightly.

Xu Jikuang's temperament is not ordinary, he seems to be light, but his eyes are firm, although he has been in the prison for so long, his temperament has not changed at all.

Seeing Zheng Xunrui, Xu Jikuang did not salute, holding his head high with a sneer on his face.

Xu Wanghua, who was beside Zheng Xunrui, was very angry and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zheng Xunrui.

"Xu Jikuang, a student of Mr. Huang Daozhou, a student of Huai'an Mansion, the seventh place in the college examination, can receive five buckets of rice per month, two catties of meat, the official really can't understand, the reader who receives the rice, gives up his future, is willing to be a bandit, colludes with the government, and exploits the people, this is not something that ordinary scholars can do, and his husband Huang Daozhou is a famous Confucian master, and his own students have become the leader of the Cao Gang, and he should have hated it, but he is willing to come forward to intercede for it, Xu Jikuang, the official really can't see through you."

The sneering expression on Xu Jikuang's face was still there, but his hands trembled slightly.

Zheng Xunrui ignored Xu Jikuang and continued to speak.

"The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, the family and the country, the world, everything is concerned, this is the founder of Donglin Academy, Mr. Gu Xiancheng did, and because of this, Donglin Academy has become a place where readers yearn for, and readers from all over the world flock to enter Donglin Academy to be proud, and even gave birth to the largest Donglin Party in my dynasty."

"Since it is the Donglin Party, it has its own theories and pursuits, and many Donglin Party members, for its prosperity, are naturally willing to do anything, and the so-called dedication to the doctrine is not unusual."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, Xu Jikuang's face had changed, and the sneering expression disappeared, replaced by stunned and shocked, he looked at Zheng Xunrui, as if he saw the fear that scared him.

"With firm ideals and pursuits, dedication to attention, this is a belief that everyone should adhere to, and this official also has such a plot, if there is no pursuit, muddy, walking dead, there is not much point in living."

"However, this official thinks that it is good to dedicate oneself to the doctrine, but once there is a problem with this so-called doctrine, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will be a greater danger than those who are confused."

"The party fights the same and fights the same, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die, good at infighting, brave in infighting, on the surface for the prosperity of the family and the country as their own responsibility, but what they do in their bones is despicable."

"The so-called not competing with the people for profit, hiding wealth from the people, it sounds very good, but this official is very sorry to find that this so-called hiding wealth from the people is actually selling dog meat on the head of a sheep."

"On the one hand, all taxes borne by scholars and merchants are reduced or even exempted, so that the world's scholars and merchants can be rich, and on the other hand, agricultural taxes are increased, so that the people are overwhelmed, displaced, and struggling on the line of death.

"There was a large-scale disaster in the north, the people starved to death countless times, the guide zhì Liukou wantonly plundered, the Ming Dynasty was threatened, and even shaken, at this time, what are those bombastic Donglin Party people doing, they are holding their pockets tightly, unwilling to take out a penny of silver, a grain of grain, for the rich and unkind, regardless of the life and death of the people, but make a lot of nonsense, take the opportunity to exclude others, what lack of saints in the court, lack of pillars, all those who do not meet their wishes, eager to exterminate all."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Jikuang.

"Xu Jikuang, this official said this, I don't expect you to understand, let's talk about you below."

"As a gifted being, with a meritorious reputation, willing to fall, committed to the Cao Gang, no matter who you are adhering to, no matter what doctrine you are fighting for, you will think that you are a headless and brainless waste."

On the one hand, they exploited the people, made the people miserable, and even became homeless because of the grain, and on the other hand, they colluded with the government to corrupt the atmosphere of officialdom, so that the officials along the Huaibei and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal fell into a state of corruption and greed, and the money exploited by the Cao Gang was the hard-earned money of the people."

"Where did the money go, scholars, merchants, and officials all got a piece of the pie, among them, of course, there are all kinds of people, but they are afraid that they all understand what to do in order to get benefits, hehe, it's amazing, isn't the strength of the Donglin Party members stronger, aren't these people worshipping the Donglin Party."

"Xu Jikuang, doing such a shameless thing, and pretending to be high, in prison, actually arrogant, the official is ashamed of you, how can there be a scum like you among my scholars, if your parents know these things you do, I'm afraid they will be ashamed to meet people, you are really angry, and earn such a good reputation for your ancestors." ……

In the process of Zheng Xunrui's speech, Xu Jikuang's expression changed drastically, and when he got to the back, Xu Jikuang's body trembled, his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Xu Wanghua on the side, looking at Zheng Xunrui, also showed a shocked look on his face, he has been following Zheng Xunrui's side for several years, and he has always seen Zheng Xunrui who is calm and polite, but today's words are like a sharp sword, which is unbearable.

At this time, Xu Wanghua knew that Zheng Xunrui was not only gentle and elegant, but also iron-clad.

"Xu Jikuang, this official is willing to see you today, but also because of Mr. Huang Dao Zhou, as well as the face of the Xu Buddha family, otherwise you are not qualified to listen to the official, where to go, you make your own choice, the official promised the Xu Buddha family, spare your life, the official will do what he says, three days later, the official will let you out, as for whether you are willing to say some things that the official wants to know, it depends on whether you still have a conscience."

Zheng Xunrui didn't give Xu Jikuang a chance to speak, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Xu Wanghua looked at Xu Jikuang, whose face was pale and his body was trembling, shook his head, and left.

A day later, Zheng Jinhong came with the news, Xu Jikuang spoke, said a lot, and said it very thoroughly, and Xu Jikuang provided the most important thing, that is, the account book, which involved many scholars and businessmen in the south.

Zheng Xunrui smiled, this is ironclad evidence, with this account book, he can control Huaibei and even Nanzhili. (To be continued......)
