Chapter 172: The World Matters, Donglin Can't Do It (I)
Dongchang 172_Chapter 172 The world is in trouble, Donglin can't do it (above) from () As early as before the palace gate was closed, there were a few Confucian literati by the Jinxiu River in the east corner of Chongwen Gate. This Jinxiu River is not far from the observatory, there is a water, the east and west are embankments, and the high acacia and weeping willows are widely planted on the bank. The water surface is full of reeds, there are fish and birds below, the clear water is clear, and the dust is rare. The north and south are the gardens of the dignitaries, there are trees, water, pavilions and corridors, and the winding paths are secluded.
There is a poem like this: "Not far from the dust of the city, there is no other sky." The stone bridge will end on the shore, and the spring rain will pass through the Pingchuan. The double is sunny and the shadow is divided, and the smoke rises at sunset in the thousand buildings. Because of the name of the river, the sea is boundless. ”
These Confucian literati are all ordinary people, all of them are court officials, including Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Hebei.
Lu Xiangsheng came to Beijing to participate in the Beijing inspection before, and has been living in the hall, on this day, a friend Hong Chengchou, the head of the household department, and others came to make an appointment, to catch up with the wine in the Jinxiu River.
The old man invited, Lu Xiangsheng would not refuse, hired a carriage and a horse and went straight to the Jinxiu River. When I arrived at the place, I saw Hong Chengchou and a few people standing in a pavilion looking forward to it.
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's carriage and horse from a distance, Hong Chengchou immediately came out of the pavilion, and a hearty laugh floated in: "Brother Jiandou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed!" ”
"Brother Yanyan, don't come unharmed!"
Lu Xiangsheng jumped out of the carriage with a smile, and after giving a salute, his eyes fell on the people behind Hong Chengchou, and several faces were raw, and he didn't know them.
Seeing this, Hong Chengchou hurriedly introduced him, pointing to the person with the longest beard at the front: "This is Lord Ke Zhuang Fang of Zhejiang Dao Imperial History Fang." ”
"It turned out to be Lord Fang, look up for a long time!" Lu Xiangsheng was busy making gifts, and Fang Kezhuang also returned the gift with a smile.
Hong Chengchou introduced three other people to him, these three people were Mao Shilong in the Criminal Division, Li Binggong in Guanglu Temple, and De Miao Chang in the Hanlin Academy.
Mao Shilong and Li Binggong and Lu Xiangsheng were both unmoved when they saw each other for the first time, but when they heard the name of Miao Changqi, they couldn't help but move in their hearts, and then thought that this person was not the protégé of Shoufu Ye Xianggao.
Fang Mao and Li Miao are all friends of Hong Chengchou, and this time they were also invited by him to come to the Jinxiu River to relax, and they had no relationship with Lu Xiangsheng. It is only known that he is currently the prefect of Hebei, and this time he is in Beijing to participate in Jingcha. So I don't know much about him. For Hong Chengchou's sake, he was just polite to him.
After being polite with everyone one by one, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Hong Chengchou quietly, not understanding why he wanted to introduce these people to himself.
Although the weather is hot and humid, it is really a cool place by the Jinxiu River, and Hong Chengchou is not in a hurry to explain it to Lu Xiangsheng. He smiled and took his hand and beckoned everyone to take a walk along the river.
Everyone did not object, and the six of them took a walk along the embankment by the Jinxiu River, along the way. Hong Chengchou looked for some interesting things from time to time, and several people talked harmoniously with each other. Lu Xiangsheng is involved in everyone, and he doesn't know the details of everyone. So he didn't say much, only occasionally laughed and echoed a few sentences.
When he walked to a well-wooded embankment, looking at the night of the waterscape in the distance, Mao Shilong suddenly said to Miao Changqi with emotion: "Thanks to Ye Ge Lao for maneuvering in front of the emperor several times, my sentence was only implemented for the appointment of a position in the matter. Otherwise, I don't know how many things will happen. ”
After Miao Changqi heard this, he smiled and didn't say anything.
Li Binggong interjected: "I heard that as soon as you took office, Tang Binyin's protégé Wang Shaohui was bent on seeking the position of governor, but you found out. On an impeachment and repulsion? ”
Shangshu's impeachment of Wang Shaohui was his own pride, and now Li Binggong mentioned it in front of everyone. Mao Shilong couldn't help but feel a little proud, smiled slightly, and said: "This is indeed the case, but that Wang Shaohui has now turned around and taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, which shows that this person is a real villain, and it is not in vain for my negligence." ”
"The responsibility of the imperial history is to drive out the villain for the country, and Lord Mao is not responsible!" Li Binggong praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Have you heard of the twenty-four sins of Yang Gongshang?" Fang Kezhuang said suddenly.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Everyone knows about this matter, who in the capital doesn't know?" ”
Fang Kezhuang's gaze turned to Lu Xiangsheng: "I don't know what Brother Lu has to say about this matter?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng groaned slightly, and said: "This is a matter in the court, and it is not a matter of the prefect of the daimyo in the lower realm, so it is not true to talk about it, so it is better to listen to a few adults." ”
Hearing him say this, Fang Kezhuang's face showed hesitation, and he said lightly: "Lord Lu is humble. ”
When Hong Chengchou saw it, he shook his head secretly, and was quite dissatisfied with Fang Kezhuang's attitude.
Lu Xiangsheng pretended not to know, laughing and saying nothing.
"Brother Hong, what about you?" Fang Kezhuang asked Hong Chengchou again.
Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Brother Fang, don't ask me, you also know that Yang Gong has always been disliked in the future." ”
Hearing this, Fang Kezhuang frowned slightly, and no longer asked, his eyes turned to Miao Changqi behind him: "Brother Miao, what do you think?" ”
Miao Changqi did not evade, and said indignantly: "Yang Gong is a thief for the country, this is a move by people with lofty ideals, and my generation should support it!" ”
"Brother Miao deserves to be a model for my generation!" Fang Kezhuang's eyes showed respect, "I heard that Brother Miao and Master Zhou Zongjian organized the Guozijian and Hanlin students to petition at noon, although they were blocked by the Dongchang Eagle Dog, but they were also very happy, so that the world could see the true face of Wei Eunuch!" ”
Fang Kezhuang said this about him, but Miao Changqi was a little ashamed, because he was the first to run away at that time, and not many people knew about it, but no matter whether anyone knew it or not, he was always ashamed to talk about it in his heart. Li Binggong knew the inside story, and hurriedly relieved him: "By the way, Brother Miao, you are the first assistant protégé, why didn't you see the elder pavilion come forward this time?" ”
Li Binggong didn't know that although Miao Changqi was Ye Xianggao's protégé, and the relationship between teachers and students had always been deep, but this time they were very unhappy with each other on the matter of Yang Lian's sparseness, and since he led Yang Zuo and others to the door that day, he no longer went to Ye's mansion.
When it comes to this matter, Miao Changqi still has grievances, but he doesn't want to say too much, only said: "The teacher has wisdom and skills, and he was able to cage Wei Zhongxian before and not cause chaos." But when something happened, the teacher always mediated everywhere, and he didn't want to see us break with the eunuchs, which would affect the direct ministers of the court, which was also a piece of his painstaking work. However, looking at the actions of the mentor in the cabinet, only the Liaodong War supported Wang Huazhen and caused a crushing defeat for our army, but the others were not very wrong, and it can be said that they did a lot of good things for the country and the people. Now Dahong Shangshu impeached Wei Biao, I didn't think about the teacher but his attitude was ambiguous, and he didn't want to come forward, to speak, the teacher used too much mental skills, and even my protégé didn't know what he really thought. ”
Fang Kezhuang has a straightforward personality, he doesn't agree with Miao Changqi's statement, and as soon as Miao's voice fell, he disdainfully said: "Where is the mental technique used too much, I think he is Mingzhe to protect himself!" Xixi (Miao Chang issue), you probably don't know, the court raised the court to denounce Wei Zhongxian, but Lord Shoufu turned a deaf ear and refused to take on the heavy responsibility, not only I Donglin was cold, looking at the court, who is not sad! To put it nicely, Lord Shousuke's is called steady, and if it is not good, it is the two ends of the snake and the rat!"
"What did Brother Fang say!"
No matter how dissatisfied Miao Changqi was with Ye Xianggao, he couldn't listen to outsiders say this about the teacher in front of him, after all, the teacher-student relationship was there, so he couldn't help but refute it. If he really doesn't refute it, I'm afraid that he will have no face to mingle in the court again. It must be known that the most important thing in the Ming officialdom is the relationship between protégés, since ancient times, if there is a protégé who is disrespectful to the teacher, it is no less disrespectful than disrespect to the Confucian saint, and it is to be scolded by the world.
"The teacher is the first assistant, under one person, above ten thousand people, the six departments of the cabinet are all operated by him, not my generation can figure out what to do, since ancient times, the minister does the minister's business, and the small minister is less than one ten-thousandth of the minister, this is not necessarily wrong." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Kezhuang defiantly.
Hearing this, seeing this, Fang Kezhuang became angry and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Do you mean Sang scolding Huai? ”
Above the officialdom, this minister is the name of the imperial history official, and now Miao Changqi said that the minister is less than one ten-thousandth of the minister, that is, the official is incompetent. And among the few people present, only Fang Kezhuang and Mao Shilong are the imperial historians, obviously Miao Changqi is not talking about Mao Shilong, which makes Fang Kezhuang not angry, try to ask what else in the world can be more annoying than others saying that they are incompetent!
"What do I mean, Master Fang has his own experience!" Miao Changqi was not afraid of his room being strong, so he sneered at him again.
"You!" Fang Kezhuang was so angry that he pointed at Miao Changqi and couldn't speak.
Miao Changqi is cold eyebrows, not to be outdone at all, looking at his posture, he is afraid that if he hears something bad again, he can immediately roll up his sleeves and beat people.
The two of them suddenly became like this, and the others really didn't react. Li Binggong was dumbfounded, but Mao Shilong had a different taste, and complained that Fang Kezhuang was too aggressive, which angered Miao Changqi, which caused such unhappiness; The second complained that Miao Changqi, a Mongolian man, really didn't have a door on his lips, you know, he Mao Shilong is also an official. Could it be that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all ministers, and they are all incompetent, and they can only speak their tongues!
Hong Chengchou smiled secretly, this Fang Kezhuang is a member of the Donglin Party, but that Miao Changqi is a member of the Donglin Party, but now these two Donglin Party members have done it, can he not let him, who was commented by Yang Lian as "his person is talented, but his heart is not strong, and he cannot be reused" Hong Hengjiu gloated!
The Donglin Party, that is, a bunch of waste, knows how to put gold on their faces, play some lip service, and do some superficial work, which really wants to do things, just rely on them, phew, the master who will only make the country bad!
Lu Xiangsheng was confused, but he understood that this was the Donglin Party themselves, and listening to their meaning, it was obvious that there was a contradiction between Shoufu Ye Xianggao and Donglin Shouwang Yang Lian. Thinking of what he had heard and seen in the past few years when he entered Beijing, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Alright, alright, what are you going to do? Is it difficult to fight in the same room? At the critical moment, Li Binggong came out to play a round, while pulling the room to be strong, while persuading Miao Changqi, and persuading each other for a long time, this calmed the two down a little, but this is not able to walk together, and I am afraid that I can't drink or talk about it. Sure enough, Miao Changqi flicked his sleeves, snorted, and hugged his fist at Hong Chengchou: "Brother Hong, tomorrow the emperor will go to the early court, Yang Gong and they will be in for manpower, I will go and see if there is anything that can help." ”
Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "Brother Miao has something important to do, how dare you stay in the future!" Brother Miao, please take care of yourself! ”
At that moment, Miao Changqi didn't greet anyone else, and walked away with a blue face. (To be continued)
