Chapter Ninety-Three: Good Words Are Hard to Persuade the Damned Ghost, and Compassion Is Not Self-Defeating
Zhu Yijun was particularly surprised by the Empress Dowager Li, who was admitting her mistakes and trying to make up for them.
According to the system design of the Ming Dynasty, according to the filial piety of the Confucian etiquette and the respect of the young and the young, the most honorable person in the Ming Dynasty is the emperor, but at present, the emperor is young, and the Empress Dowager Li lives in the Qianqing Palace to exercise imperial power, and the Empress Dowager Li is the most noble person in the world.
Being in the position of Empress Dowager Li, having such power, admitting her mistakes, and actively correcting her mistakes, in Zhu Yijun's view, is rare and valuable.
Who is without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good.
In the pre-Qin period, Jin Linggong was unreasonable, indiscriminately killed the public, and Shi Ji admonished, if so, I was afraid that people's hearts would be scattered, Jin Linggong immediately said: I know that I am wrong, and I must change it.
Shi Ji happily said to Jin Linggong: Who is without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good.
As a result, Jin Linggong intensified, and finally caused people to lose their hearts and be killed.
Jin Linggong's good words Jiana, obsessed and unenlightened, know mistakes and do not change, has become the best footnote of 'people are not sages and sages, and knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan'.
"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Li looked at the little emperor's surprised eyes and asked a little strangely.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "It's nothing." β
Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "It's nothing to be embarrassed by my mother, I'm just a woman, I don't understand the general situation, my son is getting more and more sensible, everything is fine, the emperor scolded the group of courtiers who only know chatter all day long, only know how to talk loudly, and are not resolute, scolding well, scolding is relieved!" β
"My mother has experienced this incident, and she has also figured it out, the more reasonable the emperor is, the more the emperor's prestige will be demonstrated, not how much silver she takes from the outer court, it is to show the emperor's prestige."
Empress Dowager Li is also in state affairs, making progress little by little, which is a good thing.
Empress Dowager Li knew that she had forced the imperial court to give her father a sum of money to repair the house, and there was a mess, and she was willing to change her orders, and it was very difficult for Empress Dowager Li, who was at the peak of power in the world, to do this.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty's requirements for the Empress Dowager Li are not very high, as long as the Empress Dowager Li can take care of the little emperor and grow up, she does not ask the Empress Dowager Li to be as virtuous as Queen Ma, but only asks the Empress Dowager Li not to make trouble.
The queen and queen mother of the Ming Dynasty came from an ordinary background after Yongle, and did not have the support of strong relatives, in fact, what they could do was extremely limited, and they couldn't even do it in the court, and they were even more afraid to listen to the government.
Zhang Juzheng has been thinking about the public and private of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty has asked about the clear definition of public and private, and every time he asks, Mr. Yuanfu, have you figured it out?
Zhang Juzheng is really scratching his bald head, and he also has to solve His Majesty's problem.
And this time, Empress Dowager Li asked the foreign court for money to repair the garden for her father, Zhang Juzheng seriously understood the beginning and end of this matter, and his understanding of the definition of public and private was deepened.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Juzheng would paste floating tickets on all the recitals, and then return home and write letters to the governors of various places, explaining the reasons why specific decrees cannot be implemented, the bad consequences that may be caused, or how a certain decree should be implemented, these letters are also one of Zhang Juzheng's daily routines.
After doing this, Zhang Juzheng will study the dark room in his leisure time, he found someone to grind out transparent glass, as well as crystals, gems and other things, put them in the sun, as long as it is a prism, it can decompose the sunlight into seven colors, and then the seven colors are one color.
It's not that someone has done sorcery, it's the infinite reason of all things.
At this point, the little emperor studied optics in the dark room of the simple optical laboratory, and Zhang Juzheng had no intention of objecting.
Play, as long as it is not alchemy, the little emperor is not doing his job, and the right is a pastime.
Zhang Juzheng annotated some of the four books, and said with a smile to You Qi, who walked in from the outside: "What Hai Gangfeng said is right, Your Majesty is still too hard, at the age of ten, he is so busy every day, and some small hobbies that are not too out of the ordinary are also a long-term strategy, and if he is busy for a long time, people will slack off." β
"The lady is with you, and you look up to you. or take all the embrace, and realize the words in a room; Or because of the entrustment, outside the wreckage. Although the interest is different, the restlessness is different, when it is happy with what it encounters, it is temporarily self-sufficient. β
"People live for a lifetime, and only live for a lifetime, some like to communicate with friends about things that they care about each other, and some because of their affection for things they like, although they have their own hobbies, quiet and restless are different, but when they are in contact with things, feel happy and satisfied, isn't it a kind of happiness?"
You Qi heard Zhang Juzheng say this, and smiled, in the past six months, when his husband returned home, it was no longer gloomy, but an exhilaration, an exhilaration.
The main thing is that the little emperor in the palace is finally willing to get serious.
In the past, Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor's teacher, was extremely strict with the little emperor's constraints, and You Qi was not without persuasion, but the little emperor never had any positive feedback on his studies, and he was always in an indifferent attitude towards state affairs.
"There is news from the palace that Empress Dowager Li wants to confiscate the four thousand silver given to Wu Qingbo, and then turn it into a reward." You Qi got the news of Xu Jue, this round of relatives stretched out their hands to the palace to ask for money, Empress Dowager Li did not ask the outer court to find a way to get the money together, not as an example, but to correct the previous mistakes, which made You Qi feel very surprised!
Power is a thing that can easily fascinate people's hearts, and they know that there is a mistake and do not correct it.
"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng frowned, and then stretched out.
He knows the temper of the Empress Dowager Li very well, even if it is for the authority of the little emperor, the Empress Dowager Li will not admit her mistake, if even the Empress Dowager bows her head, the ministers outside the palace will bully the orphans and widows even more.
Empress Dowager Li's willingness to admit this mistake means that Empress Dowager Li is more and more at ease with the little emperor, even if the Empress Dowager loses some majesty, it will not have an impact on the little emperor, and the ministers of the outer court will not look down on the palace.
It's a transformation, a transformation that Zhang Juzheng wants to see.
Of course, he doesn't like to see a queen mother who is in love with power, which will be very, very bad for the little emperor, especially for the little emperor's pro-government, which will cause great obstacles.
But Empress Dowager Li doesn't seem to be so obsessed with power.
"Easy to do." Zhang Juzheng picked up the clairvoyant mirror with a smile on his face and looked up at the starry sky, he was looking at the slightly reddened moon.
You Qi said with some surprise: "Easy to do? β
"It's easy to do, since the palace realizes that something is wrong, it's very easy to do, your husband still has some skills, can this damage the majesty of the queen mother? It has to be exhaustive. Zhang Juzheng replied with a relaxed expression.
For Zhang Juzheng, it is not too difficult, it is difficult to get him, he was helpless in the education of the little emperor before, and now he is helpless in the education of the little emperor.
It's just that the two situations are completely different.
The little emperor's pure heart, pure white to quality, the questions asked are still a little sharp, Zhang Juzheng has to think about it for a long time every time, and he has to practice it, combined with practical experience, to think clearly.
In the early morning of the next day, during the court discussion, Zhang Juzheng did do everything in this matter, the third eldest in Wu Qingbo's Li Wei family, that is, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Li, was fighting with people in Xishan because of the coal kiln, and Wu Qingbofu was not to blame for this matter, it was Chengshan Bofu who deliberately found fault in order to grab the kiln well, and the fight was not good, and it was good to admonish, but the court discussion was that Wuqing Bofu was fined 4,000 silver, and Chengshan Bofu was fined 8,000 silver.
Wuqing Bofu added a new ding, and Empress Dowager Li, as an aunt, gave 4,000 silver, and as for those relatives who asked for silver, they were all crossed and beaten back.
This matter came to an end, and after going around in a circle, things had some room to advance and retreat, and a not too good result was obtained, but no one asked for money anymore for repairing the house, after all, Empress Dowager Li rewarded her family, not everyone has this relative.
"It's not the norm, just this once, let's discuss it." Zhu Yijun went down the seal, which also shows that this kind of reward is special, and he will not let the court pay for it next time.
Empress Dowager Li's idea has entered a dead end, she doesn't have to ask her father for the four thousand taels, she is angry with the ministers of the outer court, and feels that the ministers of the outer court have no deference, even if the inner court says that it can be taken out, the Empress Dowager Li still refuses, this gas is left in place, making everyone ugly, fortunately, Zhang Juzheng ends.
Everyone has decency.
Some people find that they have done too much, and if there is something wrong, they can correct themselves, but some people know that they are doing something wrong, but they just don't change.
For example, Xu Jie.
Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and compassion does not cross self-destruction.
Yu Dayou said that Xu Jie's unwillingness, Zhang Juzheng was worried that Xu Jieyin would make trouble and was ruthless, but Hai Rui clearly knew that Xu Jie's would definitely continue to make trouble.
At this time, in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanya, in Xu Jie's ancestral house, Xu Jie, who was accustomed to living in the big villa of Jinzeyuan, returned to the slightly cramped ancestral house, which was angry and anxious, so I planned to think of a way, it was 230,000 acres of land!
The Taishi Building in Kanazawa Garden is the achievement of his life, but now it has been taken away for no reason.
It's just disgusting.
"Father, you can't go!" Xu Fan knelt on the ground, pulling Xu Jie's legs, and his voice was particularly sad.
Xu Jie is going to participate in a fellow villager's poetry meeting, saying that it is a poetry meeting, Xu Fan has already inquired clearly, that is, the meeting held by the luxury households of Nanya in order to resist the encroachment of the imperial court, and the court wants to investigate the encroachment, the encroachment of 70,000 acres and 7 million mu must all be returned, this time, it is not the life of Xu Jie, but also the life of the luxury households of the 14th mansion of Nanya!
The person who presided over the return of 70,000 hectares of land to the 14 mansions of the Southern Ya was Zhang Juzheng's descendant, and he should be the governor of Song Yangshan.
Xu Jie is going to participate in this rally, that is, to roast the Xu family on the fire rack! This time, there are more than 70 members of their old Xu family, and if they can behead the whole family to show the public, they can say a word of holy mercy.
"Let go!" Xu Jie wanted to leave, but Xu Fan wouldn't let him go.
Xu Fan was in the prime of life, kneeling on the ground and hugging Xu Jie's legs, just not letting Xu Jie go out, and said loudly: "Father, father, where are they discussing countermeasures, they are clearly plotting rebellion!" At present, the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, Your Majesty is young, if you confront the imperial court, I am afraid that a big disaster will come! Father, I can't go! β
Xu Jie said sharply: "You let go!" Don't let go, be careful I break your legs! β
"I don't let go! You just beat me to death, and I won't let go! Xu Fan didn't care at all and said, if he had the ability, he would kill him! Wait for death, stop your father from dying, and still live.
Xu Jie raised his crutches, raised them high, and finally did not fall, and said decadently: "Okay, okay, if you don't go, it's okay?" Let's loosen it. β
The son's bitter pleading finally softened Xu Jie's heart.
Xu Fan helped Xu Jie to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Xu Jie, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Father, the son does not say anything about his father, and the child is unfilial to prevent his father from traveling, but this time, our old Xu family will really be completely finished." β
"In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan was sentenced to exile, Yan Shifan not only did not go to the border of exile, but also returned to his hometown, and was heard by the imperial history, and was beheaded in the forty-fourth year of Jiajing."
"Father, now that the court has an order, let us return the land and give it back to decency, if we don't hold this last piece of decency, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."
"Father!"
Xu Jie tapped Xu Fan's shoulder with his cane and said, "You get up and speak." β
"Ugh."
Xu Jie sighed heavily, his eyes flashed with unwillingness, he held the cane with both hands and said: "Son, my Xu Jie's biggest ability in this life is to be able to endure, I have endured in the court for more than 20 years, little by little layout, little by little lobbying, little by little in the heart of the temple to make Yan Song look like a traitor, more than 20 years, finally waited for the opportunity." β
Xu Fan stood up and said tentatively in a low voice: "Father, if it wasn't Yan Shifan who asked for a bribe from Yuwangfu, he was known by the master of the World Temple, and Yan Dang couldn't do it." β
"No matter how you look at it, it's like Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son, who are self-inflicted and can't live."
"You! Unfilial son! On your knees! When Xu Jie heard this, he only felt angry, how could he give birth to this son!
Reminiscing about the past and recalling his own exploits, this rebel son, every time he interrupted, he denied his exploits!
"Father, the fall of the Yan Party is not entirely due to my father, then thanks to Yan Shifan's good cooperation, this is a fact, father, the past has passed, father, is not as powerful as he thought." Xu Fan didn't kneel, his tone was extraordinarily serious, and what he said was a little heavier, he was already in the court at the time, and about these things, Men Qing'er.
He had to break the invincible appearance of himself in his father's heart, otherwise Xu Jie would definitely take the Xu family all the way to the eighteenth layer of hell and run wildly.
Xu Jie is no longer in the country, the power is no longer in his hands, there is one thing, when Xu Jie was in power, the silver that investigated and punished Yan Shifan and Yan Song for corruption has not been returned to the imperial court.
Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Jie's confiscated Yan Song's family property, and Xu Jie said that he had rushed to the side salary, where did the money go? If the court investigates it again, can Xu Jie really withstand the interrogation of the court?
Especially, now that the little emperor is completely bewitched by Zhang Juzheng!
Xu Jie was so angry that his son scolded himself with Yan Song's father and son, and he was still the son who did his own thing!
The son is his own son, his eldest son, Xu Jie really can't kill this rebel, Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "Do you know why I'm in a hurry?" I'm sixty-seven now, Zhang Juzheng is forty-eight years old, I can't survive him, can I survive Yan Song, can I still survive Zhang Juzheng? β
"I'm the best at forbearance in my life, I'm in a hurry now, am I not in a hurry for you?"
Xu Fan was silent for a while, and did not refute, Xu Jie is indeed for this family, 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is completely enough for their family to live, but children and grandchildren, grandchildren and children, endless, will it be enough when the time comes?
"I'm not so good, and Zhang Juzheng is not that good! How can it be so easy to govern the country, I have also governed the country, governing the country is not empty talk, let alone saying a lot of empty words, clichΓ©s, you can govern the country well, the most important thing in governing the country is to look at firewood, rice, oil and salt. β
"If it's cured, I'll be cured! Or his turn? β
Xu Jie talked about governing the country again, in his opinion, Zhang Juzheng is the country, he is completely going to the grand structure, making bold moves, the faster he goes, the faster he dies, without widespread support, it will all be in the end in the mirror.
When Xu Fan heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Father, who is talking metaphysically and not practicing metaphysically?" β
"If Zhang Juzheng didn't practice metaphysically, blindly bragging, he would have fallen a long time ago, taking our Xu family as an example, if it weren't for the practice and knowing our means, he would have been able to take advantage of it, and still do this matter so neatly? I'm afraid not..."
"What's the situation now? Zhang Juzheng laid a big net for us in the middle of the court, ready to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys at any time, we are the chickens! The blood spilled from killing this chicken will only be afraid of the monkeys, not swarming. β
There are many such examples, such as dealing with Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei of the Jin Party, chasing and killing the Xinzheng Party, Zhang Juzheng slowly trying to figure it out, such as the Nanya cleaning up and encroachment, such as the big drawbacks of the examination law to break the appeasement, these are all the facts of Zhang Juzheng's practice.
"You also read his book of contradictions?!" As soon as Xu Jie heard that his son spoke, he felt that his son's speech was not right.
Xu Jie's study under Nie Bao is Wang Yangming's second disciple, their family is all mind-learning, Zhang Juzheng's contradiction said, in Xu Jie's view, it is worthless, bullshit, and deviant nonsense.
But Xu Jie still read the contradiction word by word, and after reading it, he became more and more sure that Zhang Juzheng was a heretic of Confucianism!
I don't talk about each other, I mix up the gentleman and the villain, I don't mention it differently, and I also take him Xu Jie as a negative example, and put it in the contradictory theory to make a lot of nonsense, which is simply tolerable and unbearable!
Xu Fan said with a strange face: "That was written by His Majesty." β
The contradiction says that since it was engraved in the world, a total of more than 4,000 copies have been printed and sent to various places, and when the officials in various places saw that it was written by the emperor, they took the time to give the books to the major newspaper copying rooms to copy them, and the bookstores in various places began to sell a few copies of the copied books, but found that they were not very popular, so no one printed them.
Until a bookseller who was a genius in Nanya published it under the name of 'Lectures at the Emperor's Wenhua Palace', focusing on the manuscript of the emperor's lectures to the emperor, the book immediately became popular!
The fire was a mess, the fire was out of control, and all the book societies in Nanya, which was on fire, immediately began to publish engraving plates, and almost all major book societies had this contradiction.
The emperor is high, he is deep in the ninefold, and he even uses a gold hoe to farm the land, what it is like to teach the emperor a lesson, which has aroused the curiosity of many people, and a large part of this curiosity comes from the parents of Jackie Chan.
The terrifying consumption potential of parents who want their children to become Jackie Chan is fully stimulated by genius booksellers.
The manuscript of the first assistant emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give a lecture to the emperor is so precious, it must be seen!
Among them, especially the fine engraving plate printed in the south of Yahuangzhuang, the quality is the best, and the sales are the widest.
Because Nanyahuangzhuang has an advantage that other bookstores do not have, that is, poor information, Nanyahuangzhuang does this book printing business, slightly adds an interesting anecdote to the middle of the play, and immediately compares other bookstores.
The genius bookseller who mainly lectured in the Wenhua Hall of the Emperor was Zhang Jin, the son of Feng Baoyi, who was sent to Nanya.
is the Zhang Jin who did not boldly move forward in Yuegang and lost the Songjiang Mansion Xu Jie's return to Tian Meicha, Zhang Jin also got an errand, that is, to Nanjing as a military eunuch.
The eunuchs don't make sense to sell books, the contradiction is that the emperor ordered the publication of the world's books, and the eunuchs didn't dare to check it, but they dared to mix the book with interesting anecdotes that only the Huangzhuang version of the contradictory saying, the eunuchs were going crazy!
What do you want to do by indiscriminately publishing and interpreting His Majesty's words and deeds?! Do you want to rebel?
Nanya is also the place with the most readers, and Zhang Jin sells books for a few months, which is a lot of money.
Xu Fan said to his father: "My father has also read the contradictions, so I naturally know that this book is not completely written by Zhang Juzheng alone, and it can also be seen from between the lines that Your Majesty is sensible, and it is Your Majesty who has broken the chaotic and affirmative cognition of Yuanfu and Dazai with a pure heart and pure white quality, and summed it up." β
The heart of a child, pure white to quality, is the most advocated moral state of Confucianism, the beginning of human nature is good, the sex is close to the most simple, the most flawless sex.
Xu Jie, who is the leader in the book, can be seen at a glance, and Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor, can answer those questions with a pure heart and pure white questions so perfectly, which itself proves Zhang Juzheng's talent.
"Yes, Zhang Ju is a great talent!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth and admitted Zhang Juzheng's academic achievements!
Xu Fan continued: "Father, gentleman, by position, the ruler of the gentleman, by virtue, by virtue of the gentleman, in fact, they all mean the same thing, can manage their own is a gentleman, can manage others well is also a gentleman, obviously, Zhang Juzheng by position, by virtue, are all gentlemen!" β
"You mean I'm a villain!" Xu Jie raised his crutches and pumped it on Xu Fan's body, it was not very heavy, he was angry, Xu Fan was angry in yin and yang, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, scolding him Xu Jie is a villain, and he is a villain by position and virtue!
The point is that Xu Jie can't refute it yet!
Xu Jie kept frustrating his crutches, and said angrily: "What can he do if he is powerful!" What if he is a gentleman! β
"No matter how powerful he is, he is so desperate to be a gentleman and a powerful man, and the gentry and the powerful man want to oppose him Zhang Juzheng, what can he Zhang Juzheng do to fight with the gentry and the powerful people? The gentry and the powerful man only need to take action, such as this tenant homeless people, the people are in turmoil, and the court will inevitably be held accountable, he Zhang Juzheng is a great ability, can he clean up this mess? β
"He can't!"
Xu Fan was silent for a moment and said: "Father, the child is not filial, why does the father think that the father thought of it, and Zhang Juzheng couldn't think of it?" Even said, is it possible for Zhang Juzheng to be waiting for us to make trouble? β
"Father, don't fight! Let the children explain! β
Xu Fan saw that Xu Jiejie was about to fight again, so he rushed out, held the chair and said: "Father, I started with a compilation method, and a compilation method is to compile the talents and conscription of various states, counties, and governments into one law, and collect it according to the acres of land, whose hands are in whose hands, and who collects whom." β
"Why don't the gentry and powerful people continue to peel the price downward to make up for their own shortcomings, but let the court be so gentry?"
"Because the powerful and gentry know very well that they have been stripped to the extreme, they have been stripped to the point of exhausting the land and fishing, and the fields have been stripped to the point that the acres of land are abandoned and no one cultivates, and the tenants are willing to run the cheap business, and then the small people can't bear it."
"If you peel it again, it really caused a civil unrest, when the emperor will pursue Zhang Juzheng, I don't know, but those hungry people will definitely rush into our homes and smash our heads with hoes!"
"Father!"
"I'm afraid Zhang Juzheng is waiting for the people to riot, those people he can't kill, let the people kill!"
"Zhang Juzheng has done all his bad things! Insidious and cunning, father, we are not opponents! β
Xu Jie's eyes widened, he looked at Xu Fan incredulously, and said sharply: "Don't look at the contradictions in the future, see what you have seen!" Nonsense. β
Xu Fan not only did not restrain himself, but said more eagerly: "If our gentry are spears, then Xiaomin is a shield, we have almost exhausted the shield, and if we really break the shield, our gentry will become a shield, and the small people are the sharpest spear in the sky!" Will tear everything to shreds and start all over again. β
"Negative yin and embrace yang, negative yang and embrace yin, impulsive and think harmony, yin is yang, yang is yin, spear is a shield, shield is also a spear, father, is a reasonable person, the reason of all things in the world is infinite, isn't it like this cycle?"
"The Qin of the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty replaced the Yuan, which are the great doubts provoked by contradictions, the inevitability of irreconcilability, and the great doubts aroused by contradictions, and the inevitability of resolving and reconciling!"
Xu Fan held the contradiction and said, debating with Xu Jie, that really made Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng made this contradiction, it is really a big joke in the world, everything seems to be set up with this thing, it can be explained!
Zhang Juzheng even wanted to overturn the reincarnation of destiny and establish a new set of interpretation methods.
"Zhang Juzheng, he should be damned!" Xu Jie couldn't bear it anymore, stood up suddenly, and couldn't say anything, so he could only walk towards the inner room.
Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his sleeves, found out a contradiction, and said happily: "Mr. Zhang, you really saved my family's life." β
It's not this contradiction, Xu Fan may not be able to convince his stubborn father today.
Xu Fan walked towards his courtyard, and Xu Jie poked his head out from behind the screen, and saw that Xu Fan was gone, so he took a few servant slaves to participate in the poetry meeting.
Can Xu Fan stop it for a while, can he stop it for a lifetime? He Xu Jie is a father, he wants to go, how can Xu Fan stop him? Did you lock your father in the room with chains?
"The eldest son, as soon as the eldest prince left with his front foot, the old man took a sedan chair out of the door and went to the poetry meeting!" A servant ran in in a panic.
Xu Fan's eyes darkened when he heard this, so he fainted, this has been said to this, the old father is already indefensible, why is he so stubborn and still going?
Xu Fan immediately chased after him.
This poetry will be assembled, just one thing, saying that it is a poem against it, and it is simply to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as Xu Jie arrived, everyone immediately stood up and expressed their welcome to Xu Jie, in fact, many people thought that Xu Jie would not come, because Zhang Juzheng had really done his duty to the Xu family, and the face and lining that should be given were all in place.
But Xu Jie still arrived at the poetry meeting, and this poetry meeting had a backbone.
"Master Xu, you can count it, if there is no Master in this game today, it will be like a lack of intentions, how can we do it?" Shen Changming saw Xu Jie's respectful salute.
"Sit and sit, everyone sit, I am no longer an official in the court, you don't have to be restrained."
Huating Shen, also known as the big stone Shen, is the home of poetry, books and music, Yongle years, Shen's ancestors Shen Du, Shen Cang, successively became Jinshi, a hand of the pavilion body, written that called a beautiful, since then it has become the designated style of the Ming Imperial Examination, the pavilion style, a kind of regular script, with jet black, Fangzheng, light swamp, and other large characteristics, pay attention to a square square, as if engraved and printed.
The Shen family has been an official for generations, counting up to three generations, such as Shen Huai in Yunnan according to the judge, and so on.
There are also those who participated in the poetry meeting, Kunshan Gu, which is a luxury household in Suzhou that has been inherited for thousands of years, good at Danqing pen and ink, family history, Gu is originally a Jiangdong Wang family, and its source is Gu Yong, the prime minister of the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu, Gu and Zhu, Zhang, Lu, one of the four surnames of Jiangdong, with a profound heritage.
Successive generations of officials, such as Gu Ji, Zhengde 12 years of Jing Jinshi, the Criminal Department to the matter, Gu Qin, is Zhengde 16 years of Jinshi, the official to Guangzhou according to the judge, Gu Zhangzhi, Jiajing 32 years of Jinshi, the current Nanjing Guanglu Temple Qing concurrently served as Ying Tianfu Yin.
And Gu Zhangzhi's son, Gu Shaofang, has already passed the examination, and after this poetry meeting, he went to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination.
Huating Xu's family, Dashi Shen's family, and Kunshan Gu's family are in-laws, Xu Jie's girl married Shen's girl, and Xu Jie's biological mother came from Kunshan Gu's family, and Xu Jie's daughter married Gu's Gu Jiuxi, which is an extremely intimate and mutual in-law relationship.
Looking at it, most of the gentry are from this background, their ancestors are officials, and now there are still people in the court on errands, this joint force is entangled together, that is the power that even the emperor has to look at, how can Zhang Juzheng press these gentry, press the heads of these people, and let them return the fields that they have eaten in their stomachs?
Zhang Juzheng is something, but he is from a military family whose legs have not been washed clean, so why fight with them!
What made Xu Jie a little embarrassed was that at the poetry meeting, the most talked about was Yu Dayou's pulling out of eighteen villages in a row for three days, and Xuan He was for a while; Zhang Juzheng lectured and contradicted the emperor and said, whipping into the inside.
No matter what the topic is, it is not what Xu Jie is willing to hear.
Shen Changming stood up, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said: "Everyone, let's talk about serious things, the imperial court has made up its mind to investigate the encroachment, and all the specific plots of land have been listed, 70,000 hectares, this is to cut our hearts, dig out our kidneys, and want us to die!" β
Ying Tianfu Yin Gu Zhangzhi has already passed the exact news from the official office to Kunshan, and there is this poetry meeting.
has been discussing the contradiction between Yu Dayou's fierce record and Zhang Juzheng's shock, and it is really a bit long of ambition to destroy his prestige.
The gentry gathered together were well aware of the strength of the imperial court, but they had to protect their means of production, and the 70,000 acres of land were their lives, the wealth passed down from generation to generation, how could they be easily handed over!
Zhang Juzheng was about to confiscate their land for nothing, and they refused to agree so easily!
Shen Changming corrected the bad orientation of the poetry society to promote the strength of the imperial court, and brought the matter back to the topic.
"Is there anything you can do?" Shen Changming asked.
