"Emperor Qi, it is reported that Mr. Yuanfu Zhang's family has recently stopped paying for lamp oil and incense in five Buddhist temples, and has also laid off the troupe, so that he can stand on his own. So much so that the powerful and wealthy gentry in Beijing were puzzled, and some even guessed that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Zhang family. ”

On this day, Zhang Whale reported to Zhu Yijun the latest information obtained by Dongchang.

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he was silent for a while and said: "Okay, this is Mr.'s own choice, he has to set an example and show me, knowing that just talking empty words can't convince me." Let him be. In fact, this is good, and it will be better to protect him in the future, after all, scholars are self-conscious. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun pushed open the window, looked at the snow flying outside, laughed, and said, "This year's New Year's Eve is estimated to be sunny again." ”

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, the wind and rain have been smooth every year, and the grains have been abundant."

"Now it looks like this year is no different."

"It can be seen that God also knows that the emperor is a virtuous saint, so he blesses Daming every year."

Zhang Whale said with a smile from the side.

Zhu Yijun did not speak.

Because Emperor Zhu Yijun persuaded Zhang Juzheng, the Aoshan Fireworks and Lantern Festival was still held in the seventh year of Wanli, during the Yuan Xi Festival, by Shuntianfu.

And because of this, it attracted hundreds of thousands of people to watch, and even many people from other places came to Beijing from thousands of miles away.

Just to take a look at the fireworks of Aoshan in Jingshi.

So that Yuan Xi's Jingshi is really as Xin Qiji's poem said: "BMW carved cars are full of fragrance, and laughter is full of dark fragrance." ”

The Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival in the seventh year of Wanli is indeed more grand than in previous years.

This is all related to the new policy of the 10-day holiday.

The magnates and gentry spent on a spree for ten days, and the incomes of all kinds of vendors and craftsmen doubled.

Even the caterers have made a lot of money by delivering food and hosting lavish banquets.

In addition, it has been seven years since the new policy was taken into the law.

Whether it is the treasury of Shuntianfu, or the pockets of the people, they have also bulged a lot.

Therefore, this year's Aoshan Lantern Festival is much bigger than in previous years, shining in the area of Qipan Street outside Daming Gate, like daytime.

It was crowded and dense, as if all of them were in a state of stillness.

The lantern watchers and shouting sellers are endless, spreading from the Daming Gate to the Yongding Gate, and even around the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and post houses on the outskirts of the city, there are also many people.

"Strange, strange, he Zhang Jiangling shouldn't let the lights of this Aoshan Mountain continue to exist! Why is it more grand than in previous years? ”

Also because he heard that the Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival in Beijing was very prosperous and famous, and He Xinyin, a fugitive and Confucian who had the courage to come to Beijing, was also surprised when he saw the grand fireworks and lantern scene in Jingshi City at this time.

"Say less!"

"Don't forget, you're still wanted by the government! What's more, this is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven! ”

He Xinyin's friend Hu Shiwen reminded He Xinyin at this time.

He Xinyin, as a representative of Wang Yangming's Taizhou school, has always advocated that people's desires should not be extinguished, and advocated the same desires with the people, rather than approving the policy of ignoring the people.

And because of this, he and Zhang Juzheng, who advocated both Confucianism and law, and even many scholars and doctors in the world who advocated the weak people, were contradictory and conflicting ideologically.

Because of this, He Xinyin was arrested by Wang Zhiyuan for the crime of "evil words" as early as the fourth year of Wanli because the content of the lecture was too contrary to the general principles of science.

But with the help of some of the scholars who supported or sympathized with him, he was never caught.

Now, with the help of some gentry friends, he has come to Beijing.

It's just that now, after He Xinyin saw that the Aoshan Lantern Festival was more prosperous than in previous years, he also said this.

Although his friend Hu Shiwen reminded him to pay attention, he still didn't care and said: "Don't you think it's strange, with his Zhang Jiangling's temperament, the Aoshan Fireworks and Lantern Festival should be banned!" After all, in his Zhang Jiangling's eyes, this should be a matter of spending money and not benefiting much! Even if he didn't notice it in previous years, it wouldn't be this year, and let this Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival exist, and it will be several times more grand than in previous years! ”

"I know, you said that in the future, it will be him Zhang Jiangling who will destroy my Taoist scholars!"

Hu Shiwen couldn't help but say, and said: "But the fact is that even in the seventh year of Wanli, although Zhang Jiangling is getting more and more powerful, he really hasn't banned the opening of academies and lectures. ”

"So, what you expected was wrong, you mistook him Zhang Juzheng!"

"You said that he Zhang Jiangling would not let Shuntianfu continue to hold the Aoshan fireworks, or not make the Aoshan fireworks more grand, which can only show that you don't really know him Zhang Jiangling."

"That's because the Son of Heaven also set up a academy, saying that the orphans would have the opportunity to study. Therefore, it is not good for him to ask for a ban on the establishment of academies and lectures! ”

He Xinyin suddenly replied, and said, "But it's not right for you to say that I don't know him Zhang Jiangling." It can be said that no one knows him Zhang Jiangling better than me! ”

"He Zhang Jiangling will try his best to keep the common people from mourning and starving, and even will not hesitate to let himself be ruined, but also to relieve the people's difficulties and benefit the community."

"But he will never encourage the government to do things that make the people gather for fun, unless the Son of Heaven refuses."

Then, He Xinyin stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, Son of Heaven!" ”

Saying that, He Xinyin asked Hu Shiwen: "You say, if the Son of Heaven lets the orphans study, will it not only give the orphans the opportunity to study?" Will it mean to promote our Taoism? ”

Hu Shiwen glanced at He Xinyin: "You just said that the Son of Heaven is our friend of the same way!" ”

"You're not afraid of being in a different place because of this! I really think that the Son of Heaven will support our Taoism, and you don't want to think about who the emperor is! ”

"That's why it's weird!"

He Xinyin replied, and then said to himself: "Did Zhang Jiangling really begin to accept our Taoism, or did the Son of Heaven influence Zhang Jiangling?" But if it's the latter, then who influences the Son of Heaven? ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of situation he is, the Son of Heaven is the benevolent lord of the Ming Monarch, and Yuanfu is a virtuous minister and a good man!"

At this time, Liu Quxian, who also went to the capital, replied because he heard the conversation between He Xinyin and Hu Shiwen.

After hearing this, He Xinyin turned around and saw Liu Quxian wearing a square scarf, so he smiled and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"This still needs to be asked, if not, I wouldn't have gone to school, and now I won't be able to do business in the capital."

Liu Quxian said and arched his hand: "The next generation is a person from the south straight to the Yuan, and Liu Quxian, the word Zijing, I don't know the two?" ”

He Xinyin returned the salute and said to Liu Quxian: "I He Zhuqian, Haofu Mountain." ”

He Xinyin introduced Hu Shiwen.

"It turned out to be Mr. Fuyama! I have admired the daimyo for a long time! It's really better to see than to hear, disrespectful! ”

Wang Changgeng, who came with Liu Quxian, first bowed to He Xinyin and introduced himself.

He Xinyin smiled slightly, returned the salute, and asked Wang Changgeng: "Your Excellency is also the same as this Liu Zijing, who admires Jiangling?" ”

"It's not! As far as he admires, I can only fear. ”

Wang Changgeng said.

He Xinyin laughed: "Me too!" ”

Then, He Xinyin asked the two: "What are you doing in Beijing?" ”

Liu Quxian did not say that he was because of the sharp increase in military demand in the nine sides, which led to a sharp rise in the price of cotton cloth, and the scale of the domestic demand market for cotton has also expanded a lot, which made him very eager to go to Beijing to buy cotton cloth from the nine sides, so he only said: "Go to Beijing to play and play." ”

Wang Changgeng also cooperated: "That's right, but this trip was not in vain, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Fushan." ”

"Mr. Fushan is He Xinyin!"

"Catch him!"

However, as soon as Wang Changgeng's words fell, Zhu Lian, who was responsible for patrolling the city and was responsible for maintaining order here, shouted.

So, the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Two or Five Cities immediately rushed over and pressed He Xin to the ground.

The next day, Zhu Yijun learned about it from Zhang Juzheng.

"The Imperial History of the City Patrol caught He Xinyin?"

Zhu Yijun therefore asked.

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Zhu Yijun in surprise, and then said, "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”

"In that case, I want to meet this man!"

Zhu Yijun said.

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this person has always bewitched the public, thinking that the king should have the same desires with the people, and he does not recognize Wulun, and advocates that the monarch and ministers, father and son, and brothers should be teachers and friends, which is simply a big rebellion, and Your Majesty should not see this person." ”

"So arrogant?"

Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking.
