The warm pavilion of the big family uses a fire dragon and a fire wall, which is smokeless and non-toxic, and the heat wave is rolling, so you can only open the window. Near the root of the window, there are a few spring grasses that have been urged by the heat to sprout early, and the dots of green make people happy to look at.

Zhang Shenyan lay on the soft couch, closed his eyes and rested, and let the thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid gently beat his legs. He believes in the principle of yin and yang, so he doesn't let women over sixteen touch him, let alone men.

The servant on the side read the article in the newspaper, which was the latest issue of Shilin Bao. It published an excerpt of Qian Qianyi's Shangshu in advance to avoid the sin of leaking the book - in fact, it only cut off the beginning.

"Stop!" Zhang Shenyan suddenly patted the soft couch.

The thumping of legs and the recitation both stopped at the same time, waiting for orders.

"Go on." Zhang Shenyan kicked his legs slightly, motioned to the maid to continue the massage, looked at the entourage who had followed him for many years, and said, "Read the sentence just now." ”

"How dare you love the stack and ......" the servant read it again, not knowing what the problem was.

It's really for people to sit down.

It seems to be an unintentional sentence, but it can make some people feel related.

Since you all say that the crown prince is doing something wrong, and the world is going to be messed up by him, why don't you leave at this time?

The road is not good, and the sea is floating. While scolding people for being unkind, and not leaving, is it because you have lived in abalone for a long time and don't feel its smell?

"This ...... These people really don't know which side the road is on! Zhang Shenyan was a little angry and said: "This Qian Muzhai is too!" It is one time to be impeached and dismissed by Wen Tiren, and another time to be imprisoned by Wang Zhixin, counting this time it has been three times! I don't understand the slightest reason! ”

The servant didn't know what Master Lu Dao said, but he knew that Lu Dao was not at fault, and he stood aside with his heart settled.

Zhang Shenyan was angry for a while, and suddenly raised his legs. Let the maid get out of the way. Then he said to the servant: "You are reading and reading by my side, although it is not enough to take the test for fame, but going to take the first head of the female Ding family is like looking for things, have you ever been moved?" ”

The servant in his forties immediately knelt on the ground and said with a slight cry: "Since the little one followed the master at the age of ten, he never thought about going out of the house!" Please don't drive the little ones away! ”

Zhang Shenyan got down from the soft couch. When I walked to the window, I didn't feel cold, and said slowly: "It's going to rain, so we have to use an umbrella; If the sun is high, you need shade. But now there are people who have to walk in the wind in the torrential rain and walk away under the scorching sun, which is because they don't know how to 'go with the flow'. ”

The servant knelt on the ground and trembled, taking every word of Zhang Shenyan in his ears.

In Jiangnan and other places, it is no secret that the servants of the powerful men enter the field with their famous posts. Although it is true that there are slaves who turn their faces and don't recognize people after they are on the list. But the vast majority of people with brains will still live under the big tree of the old lord and obey the orders of the lord's house. It was this kind of atmosphere that became the abuse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to let the clothed slaves go out as officials.

"Instead of going against the sky, it's better to go with the flow." Zhang Shenyan looked back at his loyal servant: "You and let people go to the north to find a few sets of books written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, let's open a school by ourselves, teach the qualified slaves and maids in the palace, and let them go to the female Ding Ke." ”

This servant has been following Zhang Shenyan for many years, and he immediately understood. The dynasty should use jinshi. Each family must work hard to cultivate their children's craftsmanship. If the dynasty wants to use women's white ding, it is natural to keep up.

The real defenders of the world are all teaching in the mountains. How can a person who is an official in the court have the truth of "the study of the saints"?

If so, what kind of learning can't be labeled as "sacred learning"?

After Zhang Shenyan made the arrangements, he said: "The old man should also have a big birthday this year." ”

Zhang Shenyan is exactly seventy this year, and he has reached the age of Zhishi. A big birthday is just a reminder to all parties. Don't stare at him anymore.

Speaking of which, he really isn't a member of the Donglin Party!

He just brought the Donglin party leader into the court......

Compared with Zhang Shenyan's old Cheng Mouguo, Lu Daqi shows the vitality of a "young man". He is only 60 this year, 10 years before the legal retirement age, and he is a squire of the Nanjing Military Department. He didn't want to just go back to the rivers and lakes. According to the practice of Ming officialdom, like him, he has been to the west as a governor, and has served as a governor in the heartland, and finally served in the Nanjing Military Department, and he has to be given a position as the secretary of the Nanjing Counselor's Aircraft Maintenance Department, and then he has the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Zhishi.

"Why do you want me to wait for Qingliu to resign? Hit the villain's plan! Lu Daqi read the newspaper and laughed coldly: "You go find some people and turn the finger at Ma Shiying and Wang Zhixin, it is they who are bewitching the crown prince!" If they want to go, they should go. ”

The heart of the king is a eunuch, and it is natural that he has to bear the black pot for the royal family. Once something happens, even if he is low-key, he will be ripped out and criticized by the civil officials, not to mention that he is not low-key. In particular, the 1.2 million military salaries and 500,000 stone rations he sent to the crown prince were taken from the mouths of all the Nanjing bureaucracy.

Just imagine, if this grain is handed over to Zhejiang, Zhoushan, Fujian and other military towns, how much profit will be shared? And in the past two years, all of them have been taken by the crown prince, who dares to ask him if the old man wants to share the profits?

What a loss!

So—

If you don't die, the national disaster is ahead!

As for Ma Shiying, there is nothing to say, a proper eunuch, I don't know what way Lu Dao has passed, and he actually jumped from the governor of Fengyang to the position of secretary of the military department of Nanjing, one of the three major tycoons in Nanjing, and it should be time for him to be happy and sad.

Lu Daqi spoke here, and the students, pen officials, and sailors moved one after another, and sure enough, everything moved towards the party struggle routine of Qingliu and the eunuch party.

Ma Shiying knew that he had a bad reputation, and he pretended to be sick in the morning, and it was more painful to go to court every day than to go to the grave. When he had to speak, he could only hold his throat and pretend to be hoarse, making people think that he was seriously ill.

I originally thought that it would be so low-key, so there would be nothing wrong, right? But why did he suddenly become a traitor who bewitched the crown prince?

From the crown prince to Nanjing, he only had one separate visit, which was a routine official job!

Ma Shiying sighed for a long time, his life was so sad that he couldn't wait to close the door, and naturally he wouldn't see outsiders.

But there is one person who is not a foreigner, but a confidant and friend who can pass through the house.

That person was Ruan Dacheng.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were in the same year as Bingchenke in the 44th year of Wanli, but Ma was from Guizhou and Ruan was from Nanzhi, so there was no deep contact at that time. Later, it was Ruan Dacheng who rebelled out of Donglin with his political incompetence that shook the past and the present, and was named as a eunuch, but he was immediately extinguished by Donglin, and had to live in Nanjing, which had a deep relationship with Ma Shiying.

After Ma Shiying served as the local prefect for three terms, he finally moved to Xiyanghe in Chongzhen for three years, and for five years, he was promoted to the right of the imperial history and the governor of Xuanfu. Just one month after taking office, he was accused by Wang Kun, the eunuch of the town, for embezzling thousands of taels of public funds and gifting them to the powerful people in the court.

It stands to reason that Ma Shiying's career was not smooth in the first place, and it is completely ruined at the moment, and it is difficult to have a chance to recover.

The turning point of the matter fell on Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng and Buyi Prime Minister Zhang Pu moved around in all directions in order to revive Zhou Yanru. In particular, Ruan Dacheng contributed a lot, not only contacted Feng Quan to come forward, but also invested 20,000 taels to dredge the joints. Zhou Yanru originally had a promise to Ruan Dacheng, but after he recovered, he felt that Ruan Dacheng's reputation was too bad, and he had some regrets.

Although Ruan Dacheng was annoyed, he finally got smarter, and did not turn his face, but said: Since you don't need me, then you can always use Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying was able to recover from this, and became the governor of Fengyang, and even now he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, in fact, it is all thanks to Ruan Dacheng. What is particularly rare is that Ruan Dacheng used Ma Shiying as his substitute at that time, and he did not communicate with Ma Shiying at all, and he did not put forward any conditions afterwards, but he was quite gentlemanly.

In the evening of this day, Ruan Dacheng went straight into the gate of Ma Shiying's house, went straight into the flower hall, and saw Ma Shiying, who was half-dead sitting on the embroidery pier and participating in Zen, and said with a smile: "Yaocao, don't come to harm." ”

Ma Shiying was helpless, how could she pretend to be sick in front of this old friend, so she had to say: "Isn't Brother Shichao unable to see the current situation?" ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled and was obviously extremely happy.

Ma Shiying is four years old and Ruan Dacheng is four years old, but after these days, he looks more than ten years older than Ruan Dacheng.

"Don't sigh at home, go, and go with the foolish brother to eat and drink."

"Whose banquet?"

"It's the Marquis of Funing who set up a banquet, and I heard that a lot of powerful people were invited." Ruan Dacheng's official heart is not dead, as long as he can come back as an official, anyone can socialize, and he is willing to smash any amount of silver. Even if he knew that people scolded him behind his back, he didn't care.

Ma Shiying suffered from his lack of foundation in the DPRK and could not help Ruan Dacheng recover. At this moment, after listening to Ruan Dacheng's words, Zhilu said that no matter how sad he was, he had to support him for the façade.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Ma Shiying Road.

Ruan Dacheng stopped Ma Shiying and said, "There is a trick today. ”

"What's the pattern?"

"It's just a rich family outing." Ruan Dacheng said with a smile: "Except for the Marquis of Funing pretending to be a member, the others only wear Lan shirts and scarves, just like a member of the army and a tribute. ”

"This ......"

"I think Brother Xian's robe is good, it's just in line with the purpose!" Ruan Dacheng said with a smile.

Ma Shiying was already upset and lazy, and said: "Since the master's family has a life, it is rude." He also instructed his family to bring a few different Yanju clothes and follow Ruan Dacheng away.

Although Ruan Dacheng was dressed in ordinary Confucian clothes, the carriage waiting outside was a four-wheeled luxury car with gold leaf pasted on it. After the two boarded the car, they did not go to the Funing Marquis Mansion, but drove directly to the Qinhuai River. It turned out that the Marquis of Funing had already chartered a big ship and drove slowly on the ten-mile Qinhuai. In addition, there are six small painting boats, which entertain Qing guests and guards, the first three and the last three, and the sanitation ship.

Ma Shiying saw it and said secretly in his heart: What kind of rich man is pretending to be such a magnificence? It's just a sign of the Funing Marquis Mansion.

I didn't want him to think about it, and the sign of the Funing Marquis Mansion was really played on the small boats in front and behind, and a long string of lanterns with the word "Funing" written on them was hung out, and suddenly the boats of other families on the river avoided and did not dare to approach. (To be continued......)
