Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Thirteenth Taibao (I)
Untied Zhu Youcheng's heart knot, Wei Zhongxian was relieved and chatted with him about a lot of idle things.
At the end, Wei Zhongxian said: "By the way, last time you talked to the emperor about speculation, but the rewards that the emperor promised you forgot to give you." The emperor said that from this month onwards, the Zongren Mansion will give you a fortune, and it will be put according to the prince's specifications. The emperor also said that he knows that you are rich and don't look down on Yulu, but this is his intention, don't shirk it. However, he is not knighted. Because once you are knighted, you can't participate in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, which is a big loss for the emperor. By the way, there is one more thing, the emperor asked me to ask you, after many days, why hasn't Feng Menglong come to see the driver. ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "Mr. Feng has left the Jinyiwei station in Jingxi Huangzhuang and came to the children's paradise, but he was dragged by Ah Jian, and now he is still telling him stories." You go back to the emperor, and when the next teacher arrives, Feng Menglong can go to see the driver. I have already sent someone to Jiangnan to ask for a teacher, and I will be back in a month or two, and Mr. Feng will be able to leave by then. The emperor loves Ah Jian and will not be angry. By the way, if you are idle anyway, you will be idle, just let Mr. Feng write "The Wind of Donglin", next time you will bring the Donglin criminal evidence collected by Dongchang, and I will give Mr. Feng a reference. ”
"No need for next time, I'll send someone to the East Factory to pick it up now."
Wei Zhongxian immediately sent someone to Dongchang to get the confession and related materials of the Donglin Party, and after half an hour, the things were delivered, and there were as many as two sacks.
The two asked someone to carry the materials and went to see Feng Menglong together.
Feng Menglong was telling Zhu Youzhen a story, and it seemed that the master and apprentice were very compatible.
Seeing the two sacks of materials carried by the guards behind, Feng Menglong looked bitter and said, "Master Zhu, spare me." When I wrote "The Tragedy of the Laundry Yard" last time, the materials I read are still haunting me and making me often have nightmares. The bestiality and cruelty of the Jin people and the tragic experience of the Song people always haunt my heart. ”
"Don't worry, this is not the crime of the Jin people, it is the information and evidence of the Donglin Party. The emperor wants you to write a new book of plain words - "The Wind of Donglin", which exposes the true face of the Donglin Party, which is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and a belly of male thieves and prostitutes, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can see it clearly. ”
"Yes, yes, the Donglin Party is the worst, it dares to rebel, and it forces the emperor's brother to ......" Zhu Youzhen was unstoppable, and was about to say tears, but suddenly remembered that this matter didn't seem to be very glorious, and hurriedly covered his small mouth with his hand, not to mention how cute it was.
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen learned to be a Venerable Venerable, Zhu Youcheng secretly gave him a thumbs up.
was praised by Brother Cheng, Zhu Youzhen was very happy, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
"I also hate the Donglin Party members, buy the books I wrote one by one, but scold me for being worthless, hum, don't read the books I write if you have the ability." Feng Menglong has lived at the bottom of the society for a long time and has no good impression of the Donglin Party, "I love to write this kind of book, and I don't want to touch those Song and Jin relics." ”
"If you don't touch these things, it doesn't mean that these miserable things haven't been born. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and those who are greedy for the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty will have cruel hearts. Da Ming is not strong, these things will happen in the future. Mr. Feng's task is to strengthen the soul of the Ming Dynasty and warn the people of the Ming Dynasty not to consume the spirit of martial arts in a comfortable environment. ”
Wei Zhongxian also nodded and said: "The emperor took a fancy to your unique ability and had the heart to recruit people, you must not live up to the emperor's grace." ”
Feng Menglong thought for a long time and said: "That's it, that's it, I'm out of it, I'm alone, and I'm happy." For the prosperity and long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, I admit it. ”
Everyone laughed, and Wei Zhongxian said: "I have never seen an official position as the head of the Ministry of Rites to make such a big determination, which one is not rushing to seek an official." ”
Feng Menglong was shocked: "The head of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor wants to appoint me, a person who has never been famous, as the head of the Ministry of Rites?" ”
The Ministry of Rites has little power, but it is faintly one of the six ministries. And the head of the Ministry of Rites is a civil official of Zhengliupin, it seems that the emperor really appreciates Feng Menglong very much and gives him such an important position.
"Yes, the emperor did say so. Originally, he was going to take office in the next few days, but if the prince is forced to stay, you will have to wait a few days for this official to get it. ”
"I've delayed your future, and I, Zhu, will compensate Mr. Feng on behalf of Ah Jian." Zhu Youcheng said.
"It's okay, it's okay, but has the teacher who believes in the prince found it?"
"I have already sent someone to invite, this person you may know, it is Ling Mengchu from Zhejiang."
Feng Menglong laughed: "Master Zhu, if you said just now that you didn't find a teacher, who do you think I would recommend to you?" It's this Ling Mengchu. King Xin is gifted and intelligent, with a wide range of hobbies, if he is handed over to the rotten Confucianism to teach, he will only teach a sour talent. Although Ling Mengchu and I are not good at scientific research, we are open-minded, and we can open up the wisdom of the prince. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the prince is not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and it doesn't matter if the king learns the eight articles or not, Lord Zhu - we are really heroes. ”
Ling Mengchu and Feng Menglong were contemporaries, both famous writers in the late Ming Dynasty, and their luck in the examination was the same, and they did not have a Jinshi in their lives, but Ling Mengchu was slightly younger than Feng Menglong. Feng Menglong wrote "Three Words" - "Yu Shi Mingyan", "Warning World Words", and "Xing Shi Hengyan", and Ling Mengchu wrote "Two Beats" - "The Surprise of the First Moment" and "The Surprise of the Second Moment", and the works of the two are collectively called "Three Words and Two Beats". These two people are the propaganda team of the future Chongzhen Dynasty set by Zhu Youcheng.
------------------
Three days later, Wei Zhongxian entertained Wei Zhongxian's filial sons and grandsons in his mansion in Tieshi Hutong.
Hearing that the godfather or godfather had a treat, this group of shameless people immediately became excited, prepared a heavy gift, prepared a belly of sycophants, and prepared to make a big show at the banquet, which made the factory father Wei Zhongxian smile, and he could make an inch of progress in his current position.
Wei Zhongxian, like all eunuchs, is very greedy, but Wei Zhongxian also has a difference from other eunuchs, that is, he is very good at being a man and treats his own people very generously, whether it is power, official position, or other aspects.
Wei Zhongxian's banquet is famous in Beijing, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies, only you can't think of it, and there is no dish that you can't find. A few officials of the Qingshui Yamen even did something very unambitious, and they actually came in with their hands on the wall, and were going to go out with the wall later. It turned out that they heard that Wei Zhongxian had a treat, and they were hungry for a few days, and they were ready to eat a big meal, until they couldn't stand it anymore and walked home holding on to the wall.
The dishes were served, and all the officials didn't dare to move the chopsticks, because the factory master hadn't spoken yet, so how could they move around?
Seeing Wei Zhongxian at the table, the filial sons and grandsons hurriedly welcomed, and the sycophants were rolling, praising the factory master as nothing in the sky, the only one in the world, Wei Zhongxian's old face was smiling.
Wei Zhongxian stood up, pressed his hands weakly, and said, "Everyone, the main reason for calling you here today is to break away from the relationship between father and son, father and grandson. ”
When the filial sons and grandsons heard this, they immediately pushed away the stool, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
A godson burst into tears, looking really sincere, the fly in the ointment is that the smell in the corners of his eyes is not very good, approaching him, a smell of garlic came to his nose. He cried, "Father, why did you abandon your son? Heaven and earth are close, not as good as your father; The world is big, not as big as your father. If you abandon me, how can I live? ”
A grandson wiped away the tears that actually did not exist, and said: "The sun is the reddest in the sky, and the grandfather on the ground is the dearest, you don't want a grandson, I will be killed." ”
With that, he rushed to a large pillar with his hands behind his back, hoping that someone would come and pull him, but unfortunately everyone was in a hurry to show their loyalty, and no one paid attention to him. He had to slowly approach the pillar, put his hands on the pillar, and hit his arm desperately with his hand, so that he would not die, but his arm hurt a little.
