As soon as Zheng Fuhai left, Gu Menglin came to visit.

In fact, Gu Menglin has been in Xi'an Mansion for a few days, as one of the founders of Yingshe, he likes to observe, likes to analyze the surrounding qiē, and Zheng Xunrui, who has a heavy influence on his cognition, has undoubtedly become one of the people he pays the most attention to.

The study in Guozijian was not very satisfactory, his former best friends Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Zhang Cai, Wu Changshi, Wu Weiye and Gong Dingyu and others, have formed a group, although he later heard that Wu Weiye and others had some, but compared with him, these contradictions are nothing at all.

Zhang Pu and others formed a group, not only in the imperial court, but also in the Guozijian also have influence, after all, among the southern lifters, many people are studying in the Guozijian, these people often visit Zhang Pu and others on weekdays, more people are originally members of the Donglin Party, or members of the Ying Society and the Fu Society, their attitude towards Gu Menglin is contemptuous, and they do not forget to attack at all times, so that Gu Menglin is tired of coping.

Gu Menglin quickly ended his studies in Guozijian, and did not wait for the official department to be conferred, in fact, the possibility of conferring an official is not very large, I don't know how many people are waiting for the official award, there is no certain relationship, there is no money, thinking about the official department, I don't know when to wait, strictly speaking, it is basically impossible.

Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu both became feudal officials, and after thinking about it, Gu Menglin came to Shaanxi.

Observing along the way, Gu Menglin felt that the situation in Shanxi was still very bad, a large number of displaced people were saved, but after entering the territory of Shaanxi, the situation changed greatly, water conservancy facilities were being built all over Shaanxi, and there were almost no displaced people, which had not been seen for many years, I remember that when the eunuch party was in power, the water conservancy facilities in Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan in Shaanxi Province had been renovated, and at that time it was mainly to prevent floods caused by the bursting of the Yellow River.

Thinking and observing all the way, Gu Menglin has a lot of emotion, he is already fifty years old, and when he reaches the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he has no impulse when he was young, more is the accumulation of life, and more is a summary of reality.

When he followed Cao Chi, the governor of the Yamen, into the wing, the expression on Gu Menglin's face was calm.

The last time I saw Zheng Xunrui, it was when I was in Yansui Town, that time was very short, two years have passed, and when I saw Zheng Xunrui again, Gu Menglin was more light and light.

Zheng Xunrui had a smile on his face, and he didn't feel surprised by Gu Menglin's visit again.

Gu Menglin is one of the founders of Yingshe, because of various reasons, he finally chose to break away from Yingshe, which is a big blow to Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others, and the blow to the corresponding Society Restoration Society and Donglin Academy is even greater.

Open betrayal, this is not the courage that ordinary people have, this kind of behavior, at its strictest, may be regarded as deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and is despised by the world's scholars.

The influence of the Ying Society and the Donglin Party is still huge, after all, it has been so many years, and in the struggle with the eunuch party, the Donglin Party has paid a heavy price, which has been recognized by the emperor and the world's scholars.

"I'll see you down there."

"Brother Lin Shi doesn't have to be polite, since you have come to Shaanxi, let's take a look around."

Zheng Xunrui's attitude is also peaceful, Gu Menglin is already fifty years old, at this age, he has seen through a lot of things, he doesn't need to put on a special posture, and it is the best choice to deal with it peacefully.

Sure enough, Zheng Xunrui's attitude made Gu Menglin feel relaxed.

"I'm here to make a special trip to Shaanxi to meet my lord."

Gu Menglin said very directly, which is equivalent to making a direct request.

Gu Menglin's mood, Zheng Xunrui can understand, all the scholars in the world want to make a difference, whether it is those poets and writers who have left immortal works, or depressed readers, they all want to be able to enter the imperial court as officials, in this era, if they can't enter the imperial court, they can't do almost anything.

Although Gu Menglin is a lifter, although he entered the country to study, he did not have any advantage in age, and after leaving the Ying Society, he encountered many misunderstandings, thinking that the officials were conferred, there was almost no possibility, and he had no talent to learn, but he could not be displayed, and his mood must be extremely depressed.

When Gu Menglin came to visit, Zheng Xunrui thought of a lot of things, if he left Gu Menglin, it would undoubtedly be a complete break and open confrontation with the Donglin Party Ying Society and the Fu Society, from the perspective of personal development, such a choice is unwise, it will attract more attacks, but from another aspect, recruiting Gu Menglin is also a heavy blow to the Donglin Party Fu Society and Ying She, which is beneficial to his long-term development.

Zheng Xunrui has to analyze the pros and cons of doing anything, after all, he is a person who wants to do big things, and impulsiveness can only cause trouble.

Gu Menglin is fifty years old, it can be said that he is unusually mature, his thinking and understanding are basically fixed, at this age, he has not yet obtained an official and a half position, which is considered a failure, and he may be depressed.

From the perspective of human nature, Zheng Xunrui helped Gu Menglin at this time, and Gu Menglin must be grateful.

After so many years, Zheng Xunrui has come into contact with a lot of people, in fact, people in this era pay more attention to gratitude and righteousness than hundreds of years later.

"Brother Lin Shi said directly, I will also say it directly, since you came to Shaanxi, you must have thought about it carefully, you have also seen the situation in Shaanxi along the way, to say that this place in Shaanxi, most people are unwilling to come, coming here means to endure hardship, there is not much time to enjoy, Brother Lin Shi really wants to do things in Shaanxi, want to follow me to serve the court, I am responsible for recommending to the court, but since I regard Brother Lin Shi as a brother, many words have to be said directly."

"If you have any requirements, you will do your best."

"Brother Lin Shi once founded the Ying Society, and there was a lot of contact with the Fu Society and the Donglin Party, and later for various reasons, almost broke away from the Ying Society, I am very clear about this, as for my attitude towards the Ying Society and the Donglin Party, not only Brother Lin Shi, but also many adults in the imperial court know, I have no interest in the Donglin Party."

Gu Menglin nodded, he was very clear about this.

"The reason, I don't want to say more, in fact, Brother Lin Shi also knows, Brother Lin Shi follows me to do things, must be psychologically prepared, that is, in the face of the attack of the Donglin Party, not to say that Brother Lin Shi and the Donglin Party people are required to do each other, I will do these things, since Brother Lin Shi follows me to do things, then your business is my business, what I ask is that Brother Lin Shi can face these attacks and impeachments calmly."

"I was able to do that."

"Well, the most important thing is in terms of action, Brother Lin Shi should be consistent with me, what does Brother Lin Shi think, I will not interfere, everyone has their own thoughts, that is something deep in their hearts, if you want to understand the deep thoughts of others, this is very cruel, and you can't do it, no one can control other people's thoughts, but it's different in terms of doing things, obeying the arrangement is the basic requirement, this Brother Lin Shi must be guaranteed, otherwise our brotherhood in the future, I'm afraid it's going to take a big hit. ”

"I understand what my lord means."

"Brother Lin Shi, I hope you can really understand, to put it mildly, the Donglin Party people don't understand this at all, they are proud of resisting the will, proud of showing their personal backbone, proud of being beaten by the court staff, no matter whether the decision made by the court is correct or not, they have to theorize, the court does not listen to their opinions, they will make a fuss, they will fight, it seems that they do this, showing the integrity of the scholars, their behavior, if it is in my place, it will be ruthlessly suppressed."

Gu Menglin looked at Zheng Xunrui, his face was a little pale.

"Brother Lin Shi must be surprised, I am also a scholar, I know what is the backbone of a scholar, the so-called backbone of a person who wants to be famous regardless of being unreasonable, what kind of backbone is it, starting from personal interests, not thinking about the interests of the court, not thinking about the suffering of the people, what kind of backbone is it, I hope Brother Lin Shi can think about it, what is the responsibility of a scholar, whether he chooses to make contributions in obscurity, or does whatever means are for personal fame."

Gu Menglin's head was lowered, he was indeed thinking, but not only thinking about what Zheng Xunrui said, but also about the slightest Zheng Xunrui, to say that Zheng Xunrui is much younger than him, but people's ideas are extremely far-reaching, which he can't think of at all, this is the difference.

"Okay, Brother Lin Shi can think about it for a few days, if you figure it out, then tell me about it."

Gu Menglin quickly raised his head.

"I figured it out and did it according to the adult's request."

Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly, this is the advantage of age, if Gu Menglin was still in his twenties, it would be impossible to show his attitude so quickly.

"Since Brother Lin Shi has figured it out, then stay in the Governor's Yamen, I am ready to recommend Brother Lin Shi to be the governor of the Governor's Yamen, and after being familiar with it for a while, I can go to Fuzhou County."

The governor is an official from the eighth grade, and the rank is indeed not high, according to the reputation of taking care of Menglin, even if it is arranged by the officials, it is like this, but in terms of age, it is still a little disadvantaged.

Gu Menglin nodded and did not speak.

"Brother Lin Shi is doing things in the governor's yamen, I hope you can seize this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the situation in various parts of Shaanxi, Shaanxi is a very large area, and has encountered disasters many times, and most of the rogues have gone out of this land, why such a situation occurs, and how to put an end to such a situation in the future, Brother Lin Shi has figured out this problem, which will be of great help to the future development."
