Chapter Eighty-Six: Change Must Be Made
As soon as he rested at the inn, before he had time to catch his breath, Zheng Jinhong entered the room.
"Young master, Young Master Yang is waiting for you, this is the name of the wine shop, he said that it is not good to find you directly, he can only ask you to go to the wine shop."
The wine shop is not far from the inn, it looks very inconspicuous, Zheng Xunrui is surrounded by Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xinyu, and the three of them will not attract the attention of others.
When entering the wine shop, Zheng Xunrui saw Yang Tingshu sitting in the corner at a glance.
There was no one else in the wine shop, Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xinyu sat at a table, just blocking Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu, so that people outside could not see it.
No one would have thought that Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan of Nanzhili Township would eat and drink in such a humble wine shop.
Seeing that Zheng Xunrui's expression was not very good, Yang Tingshu had a meaningful smile on his face.
"Brother Huaidou, now you can tell the truth, what do you know, I can understand if you didn't say it a few days ago, but if you don't say it now, then I have an opinion."
"I already knew that you could see it, this is not about you to come out, Master Yao is my fellow countryman, so I can accurately know that you came to Suzhou for a blind date, and it is not only me who knows."
"I've already noticed it, and Zhang Pu and Yang Yi probably know it."
"Yes, they also know, and they still want to sabotage this marriage, Lord Wen and Lord Yao are resolutely against the eunuch party, and they dare to directly impeach Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, coincidentally, Zhang Pu is also resolutely against the eunuch party, and the "Five Tombstone Notes" written during the apocalypse is a direct challenge to the eunuch party, and then Zhang Pu also organized a struggle against Gu Bingqian, the backbone of the eunuch party, after Gu Bingqian was dismissed, he led people to raid Gu Bingqian's ancestral home, so there must be a connection between them, So when I learned that you were going to marry Miss Wen, I couldn't believe it. ”
Zheng Xunrui looked at Yang Tingshu and listened very carefully.
"Actually, when I met you that day, I still half-believed, it is said that Zhang Pu has a good relationship with Lord Wen and Lord Yang, and he will definitely say bad things about you behind his back, so how can Lord Wen agree to marry his granddaughter to you."
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, he thought of the dispute with Yao Ximeng.
"After understanding that there is really such a thing, I only have one thought, that is, Master Wen really values your talent, so he agreed to this marriage, as for whether it will be a matchmaking between you and Zhang Pu and others, it is unknown."
"Brother Huaidou, do you think I will reconcile with Zhang Pu and others?"
"It shouldn't be possible, but if Lord Wen comes forward, then it's not necessarily."
Zheng Xunrui chuckled lightly and began to tell about the conflict between him and Yao Ximeng.
Yang Tingshu's face turned pale when he heard this.
"Qingyang, such a thing, in fact, you shouldn't do it, no matter what, Lord Yao is an elder."
"Brother Huaidou, you and I are like brothers, don't you know my temper, in principle, I will not make concessions, no matter who it is, even if it is Lord Wen himself, I will not obey."
Yang Tingshu looked at Zheng Xunrui for a while and stretched out his thumb.
"You're still powerful, I can't guarantee that if I encountered such a thing, I would have won far away."
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, sooner or later it's coming, it's a good thing to solve it early, I'm not worried about Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, they only have so much ability at best, I'm worried about the people behind them, so far, I don't know who is behind them."
"Qingyang, how can you have such an idea, in my opinion, so many things were done by Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, they should have such ability."
"Maybe my judgment is wrong, but when I don't fully understand the origin of many things, I will always doubt it, and I also know that if there are people behind Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, the status must be unusual, but I don't worry, just be vigilant at all times, I don't believe they can really turn things upside down."
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you a big thing, and it also shook the scholars in Suzhou, and Brother Lin Shi also quit the company, the reason is to study with peace of mind and participate in the township examination three years later, I think it may be that the township test failed this time, which had a great impact on Brother Lin Shi."
Yang Tingshu didn't notice that Zheng Xunrui's body trembled slightly.
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Yang Yi, Yang Cai, Zhang Pu and Gu Menglin founded the Ying Society in Changshu, Suzhou, Gu Menglin was one of the founders of the standard, and there were eleven people who initially joined the Society, including Yang Tingshu and Wu Changshi, and then the influence of the Ying Society gradually expanded, so that branches were established in various parts of the Yangtze River.
Yang Tingshu is not the real founder of the Ying Society, he can only be said to be one of the first eleven people of the Ying Society, when Yang Tingshu withdrew from the Ying Society, it caused a big turmoil, and now one of the real founders, Gu Menglin, has withdrawn from the Ying Society, which means that what is very clear.
The foundation of Yingsha began to waver.
Although it is said that the shaking of the foundation of the Ying Society will not affect the Restoration Society founded by Zhang Pu for the time being, this influence will inevitably expand slowly, and eventually affect the Restoration Society and the Donglin Party.
This is what Zheng Xunrui wants to see.
"I really don't know about this matter, after Brother Lin Shi failed the trial, I originally wanted to go and see it, but who knew that Brother Lin Shi left Nanjing the next day, and he didn't stay at all, so he didn't have the opportunity to meet."
"Think about this township test, the blow to Brother Lin Shi may be quite big, think about the four founders of Yingshe, Zhang Cai Chongzhen's first year of Jinshi, Zhang Pu and Yang Yi, both of them are also high school this time, and the only Brother Linshi is off the list, maybe I feel that continuing to stay in Yingshe hurts my self-esteem."
"I don't see it that way, Brother Lin Shi failed the township test, this is not a big deal, it has nothing to do with the Ying Society, more than 2,000 people participated in the township test, only one hundred and fifty people are in high school, and the rest of them are ashamed, and the township test does not represent someone's final knowledge, if I remember correctly, Brother Lin Shi is already forty and five, at such an age, any decision made is carefully considered."
"Yes, you say this, I think it makes sense, I remember the time when you and I went to the banquet together, although Zhang Pu and Yang Yi were so chicken, but Brother Lin Shi never spoke, it is said that Brother Lin Shi is the founder of the Ying Society, I quit the Ying Society, Brother Lin Shi should be very angry, but he has never come out, which is enough to explain the problem."
"By the way, what is Brother Mao doing now, after the township test, I haven't met."
Yang Tingshu was stunned for a moment, obviously reminiscing.
"You're talking about Chen Zilong from Songjiang Mansion, I'm not very familiar with him, I don't know his situation, he has a good township test this time, forty-ninth, if you want to deal with it well, I'm afraid you can pass the test."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Tingshu looked at Zheng Xunrui and spoke again.
"Qingyang, are you very familiar with Brother Mao, I remember that you haven't met before, and when you traveled, you and I didn't go to Songjiang Mansion."
"It's really not familiar, just ask, you don't know, it's still spread in Nanjing City, Zhang Pu and other five people stood together, and it turned out that all five of them were in high school, including Brother Mao, I think they also had a visit to Nanjing City."
"What kind of scenery are they, how can they be compared to you."
Back to the inn, although he said that he had mastered a lot of the situation, Zheng Xunrui still had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, where did this feeling come from, he couldn't tell clearly, after a thousand horses and the Qinhuai River, he had found that this era is not so friendly, many times if you don't pay attention to the details, it is possible to lead to a reversal, the cost of such a reversal is often heavy, and it is very easy to make enemies between readers, and the hearts of readers are not so open-minded, basically they must be repaid, Moreover, the so-called integrity of the reader is not as flawless as the history books say, on the contrary, in this integrity, there is an unknown secret, that is, the hypocrisy of the reader.
Ten years of cold window no one asked, in one fell swoop to become famous all over the world, to say that scholars are not obsessed with fame, it is also unrealistic, but unfortunately some scholars, just have to hide such a mentality, unwilling to admit generously, think that they can find a unique way, and even think that after becoming an official, they will cheer and cheer for the common people in the world, and be proud of colliding with the powerful and the emperor, and no matter what unfavorable situation will be caused by their own confrontation, it may even make the government fall into disorder and chaos, this sad understanding, will really make the Ming Dynasty decline rapidly.
The reasons for this situation are also clear, one is that scholars do not have the ability to save the world, the second is that many people want to be able to gain greater fame, and the third is that such a distorted atmosphere has formed in society.
It can't be said that all scholars are like this, and there are also people who really read for the country and the world, but unfortunately the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty has almost wiped out all the readers, the county examination, the government examination, the township examination and the meeting examination, all of which are to be apprenticed, and when the palace examination is held, who else admits that he is a student of the emperor, and this situation has prompted the party struggle to intensify.
Among them, the most injured or stupid is the emperor, who knows the danger of party struggle in his heart, but in order to be able to control the court and control the world, he allows the ministers of the court to fight back and forth, and coordinates himself in the middle, thinking that in this way he can really pinch the minister of civil and military affairs, but he doesn't know that in doing so, the minister is temporarily pinched, but the country slips from his fingers.
On November 15, early in the morning, the gate of Suzhou had just opened, and Zheng Fugui and Zheng Xunrui and their party left Suzhou Fucheng.
