Chapter 151: Retreat

At this moment, if there is no one around, Li Zicheng will definitely laugh loudly, not proudly, or now, he must be very embarrassed. Li Zicheng held back, knowing that he had to continue pretending. Otherwise, if they can't get the approval of Huang Zongxi and others, they will not be able to abduct this kind of people to the base area at all.

Li Zicheng smiled faintly, put his hands behind his back, and walked with him, pretending to be a master: "Hehe... This is simple, and at the time of the annual official assessment and selection, a point can be set up on the street, and through the hands of the people, the officials will be voted on by secret ballot, and the votes will be checked in public, and the results of the vote will be made public. ”

At the same time, mailboxes have been set up in some places to make it easier for people to complain and report and expose officials. In this way, a bottom-up supervision mechanism can be formed, which echoes the methods of the imperial court to supervise officials......"

However, at this moment, a wild and uninhibited voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Li Zicheng's narration.

"Haha... What this benevolent brother said is right, it can be said that he has made good words, and his proposal is unprecedented. However, it's not that it hasn't been done before, it's just that it's very different. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu once gave the people great power, and everyone could punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Even small people can tie up corrupt officials and corrupt officials, twist them to the capital, and hand them over to the emperor for processing, and have a heavy reward. ”

All of a sudden, all eyes shifted to a young man of twenty-one and twelve, who looked very lonely, with an arrogant and uninhibited look on his face, invincible, as if he didn't take everyone in his eyes.

Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, he returned to normal in an instant, and recognized that the person who spoke was the long-known Jin Shengsi. Li Zicheng clearly remembers that when he was in junior high school history class, the history teacher was particularly interested in this character.

This person is not only arrogant and uninhibited, but also advocates recklessness and does what he wants, and is particularly hostile to the Qing court. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he never became an official, his real name was Zhang Ruocai, and he later changed his name to Jin Shengsigh, which means "Jin is on top, how can a saint not sigh?" The mockery is very strong!

Until now, Li Zicheng still clearly remembers a story about Jin Shengsi, the history teacher often mentions that Jin Shengsi's uncle Qian Qianyi later entered the Qing Dynasty as an official, and when he was a birthday, in front of everyone, he did not give this uncle face.

"A civil official with a little flower face...... Patriarch of the Three Dynasties...... Great traitor! ”

The memory is still fresh, echoing in his ears, Li Zicheng can come up with that scene in his mind, after experiencing twists and turns, Qian Qianyi was so angry that his face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, his eyes were white, and he couldn't say a word.

Li Zicheng just flashed these thoughts in his heart, which lasted less than a second or two, with a smile on his face, waiting for Zhang Ruocai, who was later Jin Shengsi, to continue to speak.

"In the Wanli years, when Zhang Juzheng was the head of the cabinet, he also reformed the rule of officials, although it is different from your method, there are similarities, and the officials will be assessed once a month and every year, and for a time, the rule of officials has been greatly improved, and the efficiency of work has been greatly improved."

When it came to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Ruocai put away that arrogance, looked very solemn, and said: "Although Zhang Shoufu is quite controversial, he is definitely a good official, during the cabinet administration, the politics are clear, the people are rich, the official warehouse has enough grain to consume for several years, and the finances of the imperial court have been greatly improved." As for Zhang Shoufu's evaluation, as Hai Rui said, he works for the country and is clumsy for his life. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruocai's tone of speech changed, and he said: "If Zhang Shoufu's policy of governing officials is combined with Your Excellency's proposal, it can eradicate the malaise of lazy government of officials and not seeking the well-being of the people." ”

As soon as the words fell, another seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar stood up and added: "Even as you said, these systems have been established, forming a series of mechanisms for evaluating officials. However, it is undeniable that if you become an official, once you are favored, no matter how outstanding your political achievements are, you can't compare with the favored people, and you can't compare with the speed of their promotion. Today is still a cloth cloth, he has become a big official of the imperial court, if you want to eradicate the cancer of the bureaucracy, it is far from being solved by these two methods. ”

Zhang Pu, who had not spoken again, trembled in his heart, especially the words of this scholar, which made him fall into an ice cave, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

Li Zicheng knew the person who spoke, it was Gu Yanwu introduced to him by Xu Xiake, don't look at the young age of only seventeen years old, but he has a very deep literary attainment, and is as famous as Huang Zongxi, not only knows astronomical instruments, Cao Yun, and the national system, but also knows the soldiers and peasants and the hundred schools of economics and history, and is also good at rhythm, he is definitely an all-round existence, and Li Zicheng wants to abduct the object.

At this moment, the most nervous person in the field, after Zhang Pu, is Jin Shengsi's close relative, that is, Zhang Ruocai's uncle Qian Qianyi. He knows this nephew of his too well, arrogant and uninhibited, debauched, dare to say anything, dare to say anything!

"Haha..."Zhang Ruocai laughed, turned to look at Gu Yanwu, and said loudly: "Brother Gu, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't this benevolent brother just talk about it? There are two great mountains that weigh on the people, and now I have only said one, and if you talk about the other one, you will surely talk about what you care about. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was silence all around again, and the sound of a silent needle landing could be heard, and the tense atmosphere was pushed to the peak. In just a moment, there was a soft sound of salsa in the school palace, which was the footsteps of people retreating, and they were in a hurry.

Talking about the royal family in vain, that's a big crime, who isn't afraid? How many people present have the courage to talk about the royal family?

In less than ten minutes, most of the people in the school palace had been reduced, and only a few people were left. The low tables were empty, and all the leaders of the Restoration Society who were sitting there retreated, away from this place of right and wrong.

From beginning to end, Li Zicheng did not say anything more, but wore a meaningful smile, and his eyes went back and forth between Zhang Ruocai, Gu Yanwu, and Huang Zongxi.

After waiting for the sound of no longer leaving, Li Zicheng did not continue to continue the topic just now, but changed the tone of his words, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the surname is Li, the name is Zisheng, now is not the time to speak, and this is not a place to talk, if you are interested, how about going to the lower mansion for a long talk?" ”

Of course, Li Zisheng is just his Li Zicheng's pseudonym, if he tells his real name in public, it is estimated that as soon as he walks out of the Confucius Temple, he will be arrested by the government! Even if you are lucky enough to escape, the entire Jinling City will have to be under martial law!

After that, Zhang Ruocai, Gu Yanwu and the others did not answer, but looked at Li Zicheng with a thoughtful face, and saw that the other party looked frank and confident, especially the inexplicable light flashing in his eyes, full of deep meaning, that is, his heart moved!

No one replied, and the two sides faintly formed a stalemate, as if neither believed anyone. At this time, Xu Xiake, Tian Jianxiu and others walked up and stood behind Li Zicheng. Xu Xiake didn't stop, but took a step forward and fought side by side with Li Zicheng, with a warm smile on his face: "Don't worry, Xu will be the guarantor, although you will talk to Li Gongzi in the house, there will never be any problems." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and the others were shocked in their hearts, shocked inexplicably, and looked at Xu Xiake directly, and were a little stunned for a while, of course they knew the person in front of them, and they were very familiar with it.

Who doesn't know? Xu Xiake is obsessed with the famous rivers and rivers, and has no intention of pursuing a career, let alone who he works for? However, the scene in front of them surprised them, looking at this posture, Xu Xiake was playing for this young man, and everything was based on this Li Zisheng!

Who is this Li Zisheng in front of him? Why did Xu Xiake be willing to be driven by his own and follow him?

Thinking about it, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Zhang Ruocai, Fang Yizhi and others glanced at each other, and they didn't hesitate any longer, they put away their folding fans one after another, and hugged their fists: "Since Mr. Xu said so, I can't wait any longer, so I will ask my brother to lead the way and disturb him." ”
