Chapter 423: Mind and Door

On this night, Ying Tiancheng was destined to have no sleep.

The hundred officials who were expelled from the noon gate by the Jinyi guards did not return to the yamen, and they all took the way home and closed the door of the mansion.

This time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty hid their faces and lost their faces, but the news became more and more urgent.

Yingtian East City, under the root of the imperial city, in the book and newspaper bureau of the source of mental learning.

The huge courtyard in front is a place for printing newspapers, but in the back there is always a quiet courtyard.

In the court, eighty or ninety percent of the officials in the past two days have been boycotting the court and not working. However, the newly promoted officials who came from the heart school are still trying to maintain the minimum operation of the court.

In the courtyard behind the book and newspaper office, nearly 50 people gathered here today, which can be described as a full house.

Dressed in a crane red robe, it looks particularly eye-catching in the courtyard.

It's not someone else, it's the current young master, Shanglin Yuan Supervisor Yuan Sutai.

Sun Qingshu and Hu Wenhai were accompanied by the two of them, and below them were Bai Yuxiu and other officials who had just been dismissed from the government, as well as Xinxue Guanzheng Jinshi.

Yuan Sutai's face was a little not good-looking, just because he was a rising star in Xinxue in front of him, and he had to stay calm.

Yuan Sutai laughed at himself and said softly: "Bachelor Xie and Xia Xingxing are still staying in Wenyuan Pavilion at the moment, the old man is an old scholar, but he does farm work, and now he has entered the heart study halfway, and it is just because he is older than you, so that you can waste some ears." ”

Bai Yuxiu, who is now the director of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Sixth Rank Officials, can be regarded as the person with the highest official rank except for Yuan Sutai.

Bai Yuxiu smiled and said: "Young Master Yuan has been cultivating the Lin Yuan Prison for many years, and what he has done is to benefit the country and the people, and the great merits of the people in the future are in charge of the stomachs of the people in the world. Mind science pays attention to the unity of knowledge and action, the sage has thousands of teachings, and down-to-earth work is the right way. Wouldn't the young master be just in line with this intention, and should be a senior gentleman for us? ”

Bai Yuxiu opened with a conversation, and Yuan Sutai's face also showed a smile.

He stretched out his hand and nodded at Bai Yuxiu: "No wonder the Scholar of Explanation usually mentions you the most." ”

Bai Yuxiu arched his hand and said: "That's because Mr. Xie thinks that students are the most unsuccessful, so he always mentions them and carries them all the time, so that the students don't fall behind the brothers and sisters at that time." Every time I think about it, students are ashamed. ”

Yuan Sutai shook his head and said: "Today's name is Wenhui, but in fact, I still have to talk about the matter of the hundred officials kneeling in front of the gate in front of the gate in the past two days. Most of you are now officials in the DPRK, and these two days have been the same as in the past, and you have been in charge of state affairs. Next, be careful not to get those individuals to pull you in. ”

"Students are taught."

The young people present responded one after another.

Yuan Sutai said again: "I am usually in Shanglin Yuanjian, I don't know how many of you brothers are in the yamen, and I don't know how many people are officials in the court. But think about it, in the future, the country will still have to work hard for you to create a prosperous foundation for the Ming Dynasty.

This is the preferential treatment of those who have been robbed of the world's academic fame by His Majesty, and you should not be resentful and dissatisfied in your hearts. His Royal Highness Taisun is right, everyone in this world is the same, how can there be a difference between high and low.

I had a casual conversation with Bachelor Xie a few days ago, and between the Bachelor's words, there was a faint mention that the country's finances are abundant, and there are fewer local tricks and grabbing, and the imperial court will probably give more money, and you can't be told to go hungry to go on errands. ”

Fame and fame are something that every reader cares about.

Even the heart students present can't turn a blind eye.

Bai Yuxiu looked left and right and said, "The students know that the appearance of the ministers in front of the gate at noon today should be a lesson for the students. ”

Today's literary meeting in the book and newspaper bureau is to appease the hearts of those young mental officials and students.

Hu Wenhai, who was waiting on behalf of the book and newspaper bureau on Yuan Sutai's side, said with a smile: "Now that the founding prince is expanding his territory in the south, and there are few people in the land, he is spending some money and grain to buy some land over there, although there is a limit to the number of acres of land, but there is no need to worry about the vitality of himself and his family. ”

Land.

It is something that every Ming person is keen on, whether it is an emperor or a courtier, or an ordinary person.

Hu Wenhai's words seemed to open the chatterbox of everyone present.

"I have also heard about this matter mentioned by Mr. Hu, but each person can only subscribe for 100 acres, will this amount be increased?"

"A family of five or six people is five or six hundred acres of land, but it is also a worry-free livelihood. The students just wondered, can we still go and farm? How do I get the harvest at home? ”

"The students also have a few doubts, and I don't know how the court will deal with them in the future......"

“……”

The students present expressed their concerns and questions one after another.

said that he didn't know Yuan Sutai who was a person in the heart of the school, but he was probably familiar with it in private for a long time, and he knew it very clearly to the heart student who asked questions on the spot.

At today's meeting, Xie Jin also revealed a lot of news in Wenyuan Pavilion in advance, and with Bai Yuxiu's cooperation, Yuan Sutai's answer was also pertinent and stable.

Unlike the soothing people in the book and newspaper bureau and the expulsion of civil officials in Beijing from the palace, the founding meritorious generals in the city can be described as celebrating each other.

Although the meritorious generals did not participate in this incident, they just felt happy in their hearts.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more stable, and the military generals who founded the country have gradually become older, and civil politics has gradually shown signs of power, that is, with the trust of the emperor, the military generals are still having a hard time.

The money and food for military training must be found in the military department, the military department must be found in the military department for military merits on the battlefield, and the transfer of local guard posts even needs to be found in the military department.

Although the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has the power to control the soldiers and horses of the Tianxia Guard, such power is restrained everywhere.

Now that the civil officials have been expelled from the palace by the Jinyi Guard, His Majesty the Emperor has made a clear will and won the preferential treatment of the world's academic fame, which is the naked suppression of the gentry and civil officials.

The life of the generals of the empire is always much better than in the past.

If it weren't for the Zhongshan Mansion and the Kaiping Palace's private voices at the same time, if they wanted to make a low profile in Beijing, I am afraid that the city would have been full of wine.

Winter, winter, winter.

In Yuqingli, west of Foxing Bridge, at the west end of Changfu Street, which was named after Kaiping Wangfu, a group of meritorious generals dressed in military uniforms rode to the palace, and the accompanying guards walked up the steps and knocked on the door of Kaiping Wangfu.

The side door next to the middle door was opened a gap, and the Chang family's porter poked his head out to look outside.

"Why is Lan Gongzi here?"

Lan Chun, the eldest son of Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, led several meritorious children in Beijing, stood outside the door and looked at the gatekeeper of the Chang family.

"My father came in to lead the army and serve the imperial court, and in the past two years, the family has been taken care of by Chang Sange, and I came today to thank Chang Sange."

The concierge was a little surprised, the Chang family and the Lan family were out of the same way, and they could be regarded as relatives in addition. If the Chang family takes care of the Lan family, it is grateful, and it should not come at this time.

It's just that Lan Chun is the head of the Liangguo Mansion after all, and there are a group of meritorious disciples of the court behind him, and the Chang family's concierge didn't dare to slack off, so he pulled the side door open and stood sideways.

"Young Master Lan, please come in, the villain will go to the back house to let the third master know that you are coming."

Lan Chun nodded and hummed, they are all meritorious generals, they communicate with each other on weekdays, and they come and go frequently. The porter gave way, and Lan Chun led the people to the front hall of the usual house.

Chang Sen, who had not gone home for two days in a row because hundreds of officials knelt quietly at the noon gate, finally waited until the brocade guards drove the civil officials who had no eggs in front of the noon gate out of the palace, went home to catch his breath, and prepared to rest early.

But I heard that the boss of the Lanyu family came over with a group of generals.

Chang Sen had doubts in his heart, but he still asked someone to wait for him to dress, and asked him to go to the second room to inform Chang Jizu to go forward.

Before Lan Chun and the others, who were introduced into the front hall of the Chang family, finished drinking a cup of tea, Chang Sen had already rushed over with Chang Jizu.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Lan Chun coughed lightly, led a group of generals to stand up, bowed and clenched his fists.

"Lan Chun has seen Third Brother Chang."

Although it is not neat, but in the front hall, led by Lan Chun, the disciples of the generals are very hard-working, some call the third brother of the Chang family, and some call the third uncle of the Chang family.

Chang Sen was already puzzled, looking at these boys like this, he couldn't help but look sideways at Chang Jizu on the side.

Chang Jizu shook his head, he was still busy passing the entrance examination of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall recently, and he had not had time to communicate with the brothers for a long time, and he didn't know their purpose today.

Chang Sen frowned, walked into the hall, smiled, and pressed down with his palms: "Sit down, sit down, they all grew up watching from the front, and I still remember the way they tried to pee at home with their bare buttocks, where are there so many rules now." ”

Lan Chun showed an embarrassed and honest smile on his face, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Chang Jizu, who was accompanying him on the side, saw the opportunity to speak: "The front doorman just mentioned that Uncle Chun was going to come to the house to do something grateful, but it seemed to be out of sight. ”

Lan Chun arched his hand: "In the past few years, my father has been working outside, and the elders of each family have also served the country outside. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the children of each family also opened their mouths, and for a while, the front hall of the Chang family was lively and peaceful.

Chang Sen just showed a somewhat restrained smile on his face: "In that case, why don't you guys accompany me to eat some wine?" also let me see, my Ming generals' disciples are all majestic, and they have the legacy of their fathers. ”

Lan Chun raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "In front of Third Brother Chang, we can naturally only be the defeated of that subordinate." It's just that we don't forget the glory of our fathers, serve the country, and hold the ambition of the horse leather shroud on the battlefield to open up territory for the country. I can't wait for my fathers, but I also have the heart to serve the country. ”

Now that the wind is so tight, the civil officials have been expelled from the palace since they were beaten by the brocade guards and sticks, which can be said to be a loss of face.

has never set up a banquet to call friends, which can be regarded as giving face to civil officials.

Chang Sen frowned: "The affairs of the dynasty have their own judgment by His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Now that the martial arts hall has been open for several years, some of the sons and daughters in the gate have already entered, and some are still being assessed. Your Majesty has given you the opportunity and the way, you have to work harder, enter the martial arts hall for two or three years, and you can go to the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty and the south. ”

Lan Chun's eyes turned, and when Chang Sen picked up the teacup in his hand, he began to pinch the tea lid to wipe off the foam on the tea soup.

Only then did Lan Chun speak: "It's just that the recent things in the court have made my nephew a little suspicious. Brothers, most of them think the same way. Therefore, I came here today to thank the third brother Chang for taking care of the families in the past few years, and secondly, to ask the third brother to solve the doubts of the nephews. ”

Chang Sen took a sip of tea soup, put down the teacup, and looked at Lan Chun and the others: "Oh? If there is anything I need to solve, and I can only say it in advance, and I can't promise you what I can't do. ”

"That's not it, I don't dare to embarrass the third brother." Lan Chun shook his head and waved his hand again and again, and after breathing for breath, he continued: "Recently, there was an incident in front of the noon gate in the DPRK, and His Majesty even issued an order to take away the fame and preferential treatment of those scholars. My nephews are worried about whether we and others will be pushed into the limelight. ”

Chang Jizu, who was accompanying the auditors, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Lan Chun's words.

A good sentence, he was stunned and turned around several times before he said it.

When Chang Sen heard this true meaning, he unexpectedly smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong, you people, put your heart in your stomach." ”

Lan Chun immediately spoke: "If this is the case, then the situation at this moment is just like what my father and brothers often say at home, the enemy and the enemy will lose the other. Should we take advantage of the trend and make a difference? ”

This is the real purpose of Lanchun.

There was another sentence that he had never spoken.

That was in the past, the Ming Dynasty did not have the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but only the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and that was the most glorious moment for the imperial generals.

Chang Jizu looked at the children of the various families in the hall, and the third uncle who was frowning in the afterglow swept by, and he made a movement to attract everyone's attention.

Then Chang Jizu spoke: "The younger brother is not talented, but he has another opinion on recent matters, I don't know if Uncle Chun and the brothers of each family are willing to listen to it." ”

Lan Chun stretched out his hand and said, "They are all their own brothers, and the third brother Chang is also here, what can't be said." ”

Chang Jizu nodded and said: "I thought that these things have been the affairs of the civil officials above the court recently, no matter what the final result is, as the third uncle said, it is not necessary to have His Majesty's holy judgment."

I and others, according to what Uncle Chun said, can be regarded as on the cusp, and at this time, we must say less and do less, so as to ensure that there are no mistakes. If you say too much and do too much, you will inevitably make mistakes, and that may be the real cusp at that time. ”

Lan Chun still wanted to speak.

Chang Sen, who was sitting above, was already gently patting his palm on the table: "When I returned home at the previous point, the grandson handed over the news, and His Highness will go to the martial arts hall in the next few days."

As for the affairs of the civil officials, now that there is a fuss about the beating and expulsion of the brocade guards and sticks, I am afraid that there will still be a fuss, so you should be patient and watch the excitement. ”

After finishing speaking, Chang Sen sighed very naturally.

Chang Jizu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since Uncle Chun and you are all here, let's eat and drink together." Before, I asked the house to prepare a banquet, and tonight it will fall, no matter who is at home. ”

As he spoke, Chang Jizu didn't care whether Lan Chun wanted it or not, so he pulled the other party outside.

Lan Chun was helpless, so he could only follow Chang Jizu's interruption.

In my heart, I remembered what Chang Sange just said, the civil officials are afraid that they will continue to make trouble, but the grandson is going to talk about Wutang at this time.
