At the entrance of the alley where Zheng's firm was located, the servants of the Zuo Mansion bowed and saluted, and drove away.

In the dark, Lao Qin greeted him, called "Madam", and then arched at Lu Xiangsheng, and said carefully: "Shen Mo hasn't seen Madame come back yet, Da Niu went to the imperial city to inquire......

Zheng Haizhu said, "It's all spreading, right? Actually, it's just a couple of sentences with a few sesame officials, which is not a big deal. You go back to the house first, and I will talk to Lu Gongzi."

Lao Qin obediently retreated.

"Xiangsheng," Zheng Haizhu asked softly after pausing in the already cold air, "If you have something in your heart, just say it, don't hide it." If you hide it for a long time, it will turn into a thorn."

Lu Xiangsheng, who had been bored all the way, still hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Whether it is in front of the Yamen of the Six Ministries or in the Mansion of Duke Zuo, I should have said more."

Zheng Haizhu smiled, and showed a relieved tone: "One person can't quarrel, but multiple helpers can win, and it's just a shallow joy, so why worry about it." Besides, you are also a subordinate of Donglin, so it is inconvenient for you to ......."

Lu Xiangsheng interrupted Zheng Haizhu, and his tone hardened: "When I entered Donglin, they weren't like this!"

Zheng Haizhu was calmer: "Xiangsheng, lecturing in the academy, and being an official in the court are two different things. In the academy, the voices in the ears are all 'gentleman is righteous'. But once the gentlemen put on their official robes, all they thought about was 'authority cannot be caught'. If I were one of those high-ranking people in your Donglin Sect, I would also be worried that the side sects would come to gain power."

Lu Xiangsheng was gloomy: "Even if you are wary of each other, you can't distinguish between right and wrong, let alone like today, like this, ......

He didn't know how to phrase it for a moment.

Zheng Haizhu said indifferently: "People like Fan Hong, you have them in Donglin, and you also have them in Qichu and Zhejiang, which are like pawns in war, and like the opening gong when singing. In fact, the pawn and the opening gong are not so terrible, because they are all in the light. Yang Gong and Zuo Gong also opened the skylight today to speak brightly."

Lu Xiangsheng's eyebrows tightened: "Yang Gong and Zuo Gong are indeed not villains in the fly camp and dogs, but also cadres of the national dynasty.

Zheng Haizhu nodded: "Yes, so, I don't think Yang Gong and Zuo Gongpin Festival are at a loss, and I won't have a grudge against the two of them."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and continued to mutter: "Isn't it good to use the bright and upright strength when you were an official like this for the common people? If you become Mr. Heting, you will fight this today and that tomorrow, wouldn't it be more like a party than Qi Chu Zhexuan?"

Zheng Haizhu sensed Lu Xiangsheng's increasingly complex emotions.

She can understand that this kind of emotion is actually more surging than when Ma Xianglin learned that he was deceived by the descendants of Emperor Jianwen.

Because it was not a remorse for being trapped in the machinations of outsiders, but a suspicion of the faith of the former spiritual teacher.

Zheng Haizhu looked at the young man in the green shirt in front of him, the figure in the dark night, as if he had suddenly changed time and space, and became the tragic general who wore filial piety clothes in the armor and died in battle many years later.

can't leave such a good person to Zhao Nanxing and them.

But at this moment, she doesn't have to say things like "That's right, you Donglin have already become a party, if you don't like it, just ***".

It's too impressive.

Wise people, righteous people, do not need to add fuel to the fire of their tongues, they will see the truth from more and more facts, and jump out of the cage woven by the cult of personality and dissent that raises the banner of faith and ideals.

"Xiangsheng, go back and rest. I'm fine, compared with playing ***, discussing things in the court, what is it? If we can accompany the emperor's eldest son to Mount Tai, you can just take a look at the people and customs of Shandong, and read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles."

……

Next, day two, day three...... Zheng Haizhu didn't go anywhere, sitting in the trading house, watching Lao Qin take the guys to stock up, or, watching Shi Yuelan listen to more and more sellers coming to report the accounts.

And in the depths of the backyard, Li Daniu, Hua Er and Chen Sanni, who had completed the task, quickly packed their bags.

According to the latest confession of the lady, they got on the passenger ship of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and separated

Go to Shandong and Nanzhili.

On the fifth day, someone came to the palace.

Familiar face, Cao Huachun's godson, surnamed Ji, serves as the celebrant supervisor.

Ji Xiao's father-in-law is young, but his speech skills are sophisticated, respectful and leaky, so Zheng Haizhu understands that the next day after the turmoil in the six yamens, Long live the lord will know.

The middle-aged son of heaven was not stupid, and immediately asked Wang An, did I owe Donglin that share of the auxiliary position, and I had to use the exile of all the new and old intimate people around me to pay it back? Including him Wang An?

Wang An persuaded him in harmony, and said that he would mention this matter to Shoufu Ye Xianggao, after all, Ye Ge Lao is not extreme, and he can more or less brake the sharpness of the eastern forests in Beijing.

Zhu Changluo was more comfortable at this time, and asked the chamberlain to come over to see Master Zheng in the name of Dong Li Niangniang's reward to the emperor's master.

Zheng Haizhu then told Ji Xiaogonggong about the idea of temporarily avoiding the edge and accompanying the emperor's eldest son to Mount Tai after thanking him.

Ji Xiaogonggong originally came to ask Zheng Haizhu about Zheng Haizhu's next thoughts for Wang An and Cao Huachun, so he bluntly proposed: "Madame, let's put down the pen, Ji will bring it back to the palace and present it to Wang Gonggong. This matter is not a national policy, and it needs to be reported to the cabinet by the Ministry of Rites, and then approved by the Ministry of Rites."

As soon as Ji Xiaogong's front foot left, Huang Zongxi arrived on the back foot.

The young man scolded Fan Hong a few times angrily before he got down to business: "Auntie, my father has something to discuss, so I invite my aunt to lunch tomorrow."

"Oh," Zheng Haizhu teased slightly, "You won't go to that crane pavilion again, will you?"

Huang Zongxi waved his hand and said seriously, "Auntie, my father said that he was ashamed of having Fan Hong and his ilk in Donglin. Well, it will definitely not be narrated in the Crane Pavilion Tower, but the place set by the senior who made the east is near the Cheng'en Temple, and it is very clean."

Zheng Haizhu was curious: "Which senior?"

"Ministry of Works, He Shijin, He Gong."

"Are you also from Donglinmen?"

"Yes, auntie, however, He Gong is by no means as broad and old-fashioned as Zhao Gong. Father said, "He Gong wants to hear from you about the trade of Haojing, Yuegang, and Mongolia."

The corners of Zheng Haizhu's mouth raised.

Even after experiencing the worst things, she has not changed her opinion: no matter which party it is, it will not be monolithic.

The famous doer in the East Forest, isn't this just an appearance?

The venue of the banquet was chosen next to Cheng'en Temple......

It was near the old site of the Wang Gong factory, which had been relocated.

He Shijin, who is now an official of the Ministry of Works, is implicitly expressing his kindness.

"Okay, I'm glad to go. By the way, can you bring one more person? Is it okay for Lu Gongzi to go too?"

Huang Zongxi clasped his palms together and smiled, "Aunt doesn't mention it, He Gong also wants to invite Lu Gongzi." He Gong and Lu Gongzi are both from Yixing, Nanzhili."
