Chapter 684: The Way to Redeem

Xia Yunyi was also a member of the Restoration Society, and now he has not said anything about quitting. In Chen Xie's staff, he is one of the most down-to-earth and hard-working people, not like Sun Kexian, who is now staying in Liaodong and rolling in the army all day long, not like a literati.

If Du Dengchun is disposed of by Yang Longyou, this will be a dead death, and he will not be able to escape the result of removing his fame. Now it is Xia Yunyi who takes the initiative to ask for processing, standing in front of Chen Xie, his eyes are complicated, with a little hint of pleading, Chen Xie waved his hand and said: "You are the magistrate of Huating, naturally you will deal with it." Whatever the outcome, as long as you can say about the past. ”

Chen Xie decided to give Xia Yunyi a face, but after this face was given, the Du family's father and son would have no chance to have a career in their lives. They all have the fame of being a student, and they can come out to be township officials, but in the territory of Jiangnan, there is almost zero hope of going up. offended Chen Xie, the Du family was a flood beast for the shrewd and self-preserving Jiangnan gentry, and they couldn't avoid it.

Xia Yunyi stepped forward and asked about what happened, both sides asked, and after comparing the words twice, he arched his hand to everyone and said: "The story is clear, Mr. Umemura questioned Lord Cabinet, and the debate between the two is not a big deal." Du Dengchun was young and vigorous, interjected to help, and spoke inappropriately in a hurry. Saying that, he looked at Chen Xie, and found that his face was expressionless, Xia Yunyi sighed secretly in his heart, this matter is really difficult to handle. Look at those people in the Fushe Society, who are still pretending to be calm there, especially the Du family's father and son, looking at Chen Xie's eyes with the word Mars, Xia Yunyi said in his heart, how can this continue?

"On both sides, there's no opinion, right?" Xia Yunyi had no choice but to ask, and Chen Xie smiled: "No opinion." ”

Du Dengchun stood up to speak, but was pulled back by his father. Then Du Linzheng arched his hand and said, "No objection." ”

"Okay, since there are no objections, so be it. Du Dengchun was speechless, and in front of the public, he baselessly accused the current cabinet ministers of being eunuchs, and Meng Lang was frivolous. He was instructed to apologize to the Cabinet in public, and wrote an article in Ming Pao to explain the incident and apologize solemnly. Therefore, if the teachings of the saints did not agree, he specially asked the government to learn the teachings, and punished him from taking the examination for three years, and studied and thought about it behind closed doors. Can you have any objections? Xia Yunyi came up with his own disposal plan, and the fools could see that he was saving Du Dengchun.

Chen Xie was still expressionless, and nodded to acquiesce to the result. Du Dengchun looked angry. His father pulled him behind him again, and arched his hand: "No objection, the old parents are extremely fair, and they will obey the dog." ”

Chen Xie stood up and said: "Forget it about apologizing in person, I don't like insincere apologies." It is best to make things clear in "Ming Pao", otherwise don't blame Chen for being capricious. Go first and say goodbye! With that, Chen Xie strode away. Choose to leave at this time. It's not that Chen Xie plans to let go of the father and son, but in front of a teacher. Chen Xie didn't want to leave a narrow-minded image. It seems that Chen Xie is generous, but in fact, after walking out of this teahouse and getting into the carriage, Chen Xie said to Ah Xi beside him: "I want the Du family to betray their relatives and leave, and I can't stay in Jiangnan." ”

Of course, the matter is not over, the people Chen Xie has to deal with. Basically didn't run. But not now, you have to wait for a while, and naturally someone will come forward to do this. Chen Xie left, and the current instructors also left, and got into the carriage that came to greet him. Xia Yunyi didn't leave. Staying where they are and looking at their former friends, they are still the same as they used to be, and they haven't changed at all. I thought that as long as this country was handed over to them to govern, there would be no problems at all, and everything would be solved. So what about actually? Donglin once held the authority of the state, but as a result, the country was impoverished and weakened. Everyone is acting for their own interests and the interests of those behind them, and no one cares what the state of the country is. Chen Xie really didn't say anything wrong about them, but from Xia Yunyi's standpoint, he could only do this today.

"Take a step to speak, guys." Xia Yunyi's face was gloomy, and the group went upstairs to the private room, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. After closing the door, Xia Yunyi looked at the people and others, and said lightly: "Virtuous nephew, after the matter is over, don't stay in Jiangnan, go to Jingshi." As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, especially Chen Zilong, who stood up and said, "What? Could it be that you are still afraid of him? "Everyone knows who he is referring to.

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, Jiangnan has changed dramatically over the years, do you still think it's the same as it was at the beginning? In the DPRK and in the opposition, how much influence do you think you still have? How much influence does the Restoration Society still have? Chen Gebu has a large number of lords, although he will not retaliate against you, but can he guarantee that no one will fall into the trap of the Du family in order to curry favor with him? The faces of everyone who said this were gloomy, especially Chen Zilong, he was a jinshi, and he had been an official in Beijing for a period of time, so he knew what this officialdom was all about.

"That makes sense!" Du Linzheng reacted quickly, and it was not uncommon for the gentry families in Jiangnan to fall into each other's favor. Now that the Du family has offended Chen Xie, what they said is not good, and they may be coveted by some people at any time. These people don't necessarily want to curry favor with Chen Xie, but it doesn't mean that they don't care about the Du family's industry. As long as Chen Xie says a word, there will always be some evil wolves in the Du family's industry that will jump out, as long as one jumps out, the next thing is to swarm and gnaw until there are no bones left. This is a very real problem, with Chen Xie's identity and status, he doesn't have to do it himself at all.

For the sake of momentary anger, he caused such a big trouble, and he felt very high at the time, but now that he has calmed down, the Du family father and son are dumbfounded. At this time, the two were about to say goodbye and go home, but they were stopped by Xia Yunyi and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Du Linzheng stood up and arched his hand: "Please speak." Xia Yunyi said: "I'll go to see Lord Cabinet again in the evening, why don't we go together, so maybe there is room for redemption." Everyone was silent, and Xia Yunyi said in a sincere tone: "Everyone, haven't you seen the changes that are taking place in the Ming Dynasty today?" Didn't you see what Chen Gebu was doing? What is the name of compulsory education, don't you see? This is the real education of the people, don't dwell on this little thing, just go with me, admit your mistakes and express your willingness to contribute to compulsory education, this is the only way to save today's crisis. ”

Chen Zilong was silent, and Wu Meicun said: "Then go, today's matter, everyone present is inseparable." Maybe they are all remembered by others, take a trip, not for yourself, for the clan, if you lose face, you will lose face. ”

Chen Zilong finally spoke, and sneered: "I'm a little worried, even if we are willing to be a lackey for Chen, no one will necessarily look at it." Not to mention, can I pull that face? ”

Xia Yunyi interjected: "Wozi, where do you want to go." The cabinet is not that kind of person, everyone sit down, talk openly and honestly, and talk calmly, I think this knot is not difficult to open. ”

"It's okay, even if you fight half of the family wealth, for the sake of your family and clansmen, Du is willing, what's the point of losing some face?" Du Linzheng stood up and made a statement, and Wu Meicun also nodded and said, "Count me in, let's go and hear what he can do to us." In these words, there is still some unconvincing.

Chen Zilong stood up and said with a wry smile: "Two, if you have this idea, you should not go, lest things become more rigid." If we want to go, we have to lower our posture and listen to what people say about his statecraft. Chen Sihua is a practical person, he doesn't like to talk about it, and he doesn't like to sing high-pitched. There are very few words he says that he never fulfills. Recently, there has been news in Jingshi, I don't know if you know. Mr. Mu Zhai wrote to the imperial court, saying that as long as the Commercial Tax Department and the Shipping Department were rectified and a set of supervision mechanisms were established, he was sure that the purpose of collecting commercial taxes and customs duties in various parts of the South Seas would be achieved. ”

These words frightened everyone, and Xia Yunyi was also stunned, Qian Qianyi, how could he have embarked on this road.

"The general trend is like this, and no one can stop it." Qian Qianyi's betrayal of himself gave a heavy blow to everyone present. This is Qian Muzhai, the leader of Shilin, why did they all go to Chen Xie. After saying this, Wu Meicun stood up and said: "Okay, don't think too much, after all, Chen Sihua is a generation of famous ministers who turned the tide when the Ming Dynasty was in danger." ”

The implication is that there is no shame in taking refuge in him. This is for everyone. Whether it is Chen Zilong, Du Linzheng's father and son, including Wu Meicun himself, all want to make a difference in master and apprentice. Scholars, isn't it just to be an official? Isn't Confucianism as a whole, in the long course of history, constantly changing its thoughts, words and deeds according to the needs of the rulers?

"Let's ask for understanding first, and then talk about anything else." Chen Zilong came to such a sentence, which can be regarded as saving face for everyone.

In fact, if this matter is put on other people's cabinet ministers, everyone present will not take it seriously at all. Chen Xie is completely different, what does this guy say? He won't play games with you according to the traditional routine at all, what he does is something that no one can guess. When the Liukou was exterminated, who would have thought that Chen Xie would kill Zuo Liangyu and his subordinates in one go. Who would have thought that Chen Xie, this guy, could level Liaodong in a short period of time, and who would have thought that he would be able to create such a large world overseas, and since then he has opened a new world of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty. The entire Jiangnan has changed so much in Chen Xie's hands, who would have thought?

So, for this guy, you can't talk normally. In fact, the person who knows Chen Xie best here is Xia Yunyi, knowing that Chen Xie will not just be like this, out of the love of the year, this is the hard persuasion. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but who knew that it was very powerful just now, and these people were all cowardly. Chen Zilong, the only one who is not intimidated, is still a more practical person, even if he is not convinced by Chen Xie, he is still a person who affirms Chen Xie's merits in his heart.
