Chapter 126: Ignite the Fire
Yu Ren wanted to stop Liu Xi when he tore the contract, but he was a step too late. Seeing that the contract had become a pile of shredded paper in the blink of an eye, Yu Ren finally couldn't help but sigh. He had a bad premonition that something was going to happen.
Wu Gang didn't say anything, just glanced at Yu Ren resentfully. Then, turned around and walked away.
Three days later, Yu Ren was in the deserted garden by the river and Huzi and they were making the final attack for this new generation of sea ships that were about to be born. A person none of them had expected suddenly appeared.
This person is not an outsider, it is Yu Ren's father Yu Yuanqian.
As soon as Yu Yuanqian saw Yu Ren, he scolded, "You troublemaker." Let you study at home, you have to run out and mingle with them. It's okay now, after such a big disaster, I'm afraid that our Yu family won't be able to stay in Nanjing from now on! ”
Yu Ren first saw his father suddenly appear here, which was very surprised. Then I heard what his father said, and I was even more puzzled.
"What's wrong? What happened? ”
"What do you still have the face to ask? Don't you know what you did yourself? Everyone has sent the excerpts of your Lao Tzu to the emperor! ”
Yu Ren was confused, and he still didn't know what his father was talking about.
"What's wrong with the bottom?" Yu Ren finally couldn't help it and asked again.
"I ask you, what did you do three days ago?" Yu Yuanqian said angrily, not looking at the bowl of coarse tea brought by Huzi.
"Three days ago?" When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Wasn't it the day when a few of them fought with Qian Si three days ago! Could it be that Qian Si sued them? There's no reason for that! Qian Si is unreasonable first! It was he who brought someone to the door to forcibly collect taxes and silver, and this is why the fight started! Yu Ren pondered.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
Could it be him?
"Isn't that Wu Gang?" Yu Ren rushed to the road.
"Finally you're not forgetful!" Yu Yuanqian said, sitting on the wooden pile next to him.
"Do you know who this Wu Gang is? He was the grandnephew of the Nanjing Minister's Minister. You tore up the contract in his hand that day, and when he returned home, he told his uncle Wu Jianxu about it.
Wu Jianxu wrote a special letter that night, participating in my poor teaching of my son, forming friends privately, fishing in the township, and forcibly seizing people's wealth. He then handed over a copy of the recital to the secretary of our Ministry of Rites. ”
Yu Ren finally figured it out. It turned out to be the ghost that Wu Gang did.
"But, his contract is fake!" Tian Jia interjected on the side.
Yu Yuanqian glared at Tian Jia, he didn't have a good impression of these young people who led his son to the right path. "How do you know he's a fake? The garden you are using now was bought by Wu Gang three years ago. Didn't you see that the contract was stamped with a vermilion official seal? ”
Yu Ren listened to his father, and when he recalled that time, sure enough, there seemed to be such an official seal on the contract. It seems that it is too Meng Lang to do things by himself. This is really a lot of trouble. However, he knew that this Wu Gang did not sue Huzi and them, nor did he tell Liu Xi, who tore up his contract, but sued Yu Ren, who had the least to do with this matter. Clearly, his purpose was not just for the sake of the contract.
"Dad, let's go back and discuss this matter again! Let's see if we can come up with a good idea! Yu Ren didn't want Huzi to worry too much.
Yu Yuanqian didn't say a word, raised his feet and left. Yu Ren followed behind with his head down.
"Brother Ren, this matter started because of me. I'll take care of it! Liu Xi caught up with Yu Rendao.
Yu Ren glanced at the father who was walking in front, and whispered to Liu Xi and Huzi and Tian Jia, who had caught up, "It's useless." This Wu Gang is obviously not here for you. They wanted to use this to attack me. Even if you stand up, it's useless to take things on your shoulders. Instead, more people are implicated.
It's none of your business. I have my own way to fix it. You just need to take care of these two boats with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about anything else. That Qian Si was beaten last time, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will dare to trouble you again. Build your ships in peace. At this time, I'm afraid that I won't have much time to take care of you, and everything will depend on you. ”
After speaking, Yu Ren hurriedly walked a few steps quickly to catch up with his father, who had already left him behind.
Along the way, neither father nor son spoke. And so it went all the way to home.
Until dinner, Yu Yuanqian didn't say a word, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Yu Ren knew that his father must be thinking about how to solve the current crisis.
"Dad, why don't I'm going to find a friend! It's not a big deal either. I think it should be able to be flat! ”
Yu Yuanqian snorted coldly, "Do you mean those Donglin Party friends of yours?" Do you think they will help us? If my guess is correct, they will definitely not get involved in this matter. Not only will they not help, but they can not follow the trend, and it is already very good to join your father. ”
"Won't it?" Yu Ren was a little unconvinced.
Yu Yuanqian put down his chopsticks. Glancing around, he led his son to the study, and then solemnly closed the door. Then he said to him, "Do you think they are all good people?" Just look at it if you don't believe it.
They are all over the government and the opposition. Although it has not been in power in the past two or three years, it is only limited to high positions. In the entire government and opposition, the Donglin Party is still the largest party in the world. It is impossible for them not to know about Wu Jianxu's participation in my recitals, if they have the heart to save you. You don't need to intercede with them at all. ”
"But why didn't they save me?" Yu Ren was puzzled. He didn't quite agree with his father's point of view.
Yu Yuanqian patted Yu Ren on the shoulder. "Son, you're still too tender! This is officialdom. It's not a place to talk about buddy righteousness. Here, power and profit are the first goals that everyone pursues.
Can't you see that Wu Jianxu is actually for you? Your father and I have not joined any political parties all these years, so it can be said that no one is provoked. Wu Jianxu naturally couldn't come to me for such a trivial matter.
Wu Jianxu is still an important member of the Zhejiang Party. The fact that you helped the Donglin Party in Hangzhou has already spread all over Jiangnan. This Wu Jianxu naturally won't be unaware. This time, he wants to use the purpose of hitting your father to further attack you.
And the purpose of striking you is to lure out the Donglin Party. As long as someone in the Donglin Party stands up to defend you, their Zhejiang Party can take the opportunity to suppress and purge another batch of Donglin Party members.
If my guess is correct. This time, the Donglin Party will definitely not save you. ”
"Why?" Yu Ren was very surprised. Although after listening to his father's analysis, with his character of not wanting to involve others, he didn't want the Donglin Party to take risks in order to save him. But they really didn't save themselves, and Yu Ren felt unfair.
"If it had been five years ago, maybe they would have stood up and spoken for you. But now, absolutely not. ”
Seeing that Yu Ren still looked confused and unconvinced, Yu Yuanqian continued, "Let me tell you something from five years ago!"
Five years ago, the Donglin Party at that time could be said to be a smash hit in the DPRK. Ye Xianggao is the first assistant, and more than half of the leaders of the six departments are members of their Donglin Party.
In that Jingcha, the Donglin Party can be said to be determined to win. But because of a person's relationship, in the end they failed. And it was a miserable defeat.
This person is Li Sancai, the giant of Donglin.
At that time, Li Sancai's name was already in full swing in the DPRK. Many have proposed that he be elected to the cabinet. However, it was precisely because the Donglin Party was too strong at that time, and because this Li Sancai was an extremely strong person, that the other three parties (the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party) were worried that as soon as he came to power, they would all be wiped out. As a result, the three parties joined forces to attack Donglin. The center of the attack was Li Sancai.
The final result was: the Donglin Party members were reprimanded and suffered heavy losses because of their defense of Li Sancai, and Li Sancai still failed to enter the cabinet as he wished, but was also ousted back to his hometown.
It is precisely because of this lesson that I can deduce from this that the Donglin Party will never risk being attacked by the masses for the sake of you, who has nothing to do with them. What's more, at this time, the Donglin Party was not as good as before in the DPRK and China. The current cabinet leader is Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.
