Chapter 53: Hymn to the Eunuchs

Wei Zhongxian's energy is really amazing, but in half a day, the entire Jingshi has a large amount of rice paper, and the rice paper is written with the song "Hymn to the Eunuch Party" written by Shen Ye, and in a few days, all parts of the country also have these rice papers.

As soon as this hymn came out, the whole world was stunned, and many readers frantically attacked Wei Zhongxian.

Among them, especially the scholars at the feet of the Son of Heaven are the most courageous.

A certain scholar's restaurant, in the bustling downtown area, people come and go, many scholars, there are talents, there are people who have passed the imperial examination, and even some people who have passed the top three in high school, are talking about the rice paper in their hands at this moment.

Sima Qian, Cai Lun, Yang Siqiao, Yu Chaoen, Tong Guan, Zheng He...... This Wei Zhongxian really looks up to himself, and he actually puts himself and these sages of the previous generation side by side!"

"But isn't it? These sages, which one of them is a model of my generation, with great achievements, are all people who can be famous all over the world and passed down through the ages, this Wei Zhongxian, who is the Wei Banchao who leaned towards the government and the opposition, how can he be qualified to compare with these sages?"

"The power leans towards the government and the opposition, the court is chaotic, internal and external troubles, and the royal family is sluggish, I really don't know how this person dares to promote himself like this!"

"I heard that this "Hymn to the Eunuch Party" was written by a scholar for him. ”

"Which scholar? If so, then this person is really a shame for my generation of scholars!"

"Yes, my generation of scholars, if you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, how can you write praises for such powerful people?"

"It seems that a scholar named Shen Moyun, from Anyang County, seems to have killed a Donglin Party member, and in order to seek refuge, he went to write such a poem to Wei Zhongxian!"

"Shen Moyun, it's really a shame for my generation......"

While many readers were frantically ridiculing Wei Zhongxian and disdainful of Shen Ye, some readers couldn't help but put forward different opinions after reading some of the other words written by Shen Ye.

Although Wei Zhongxian is despised by everyone, this Shen Moyun is also right. For example, Wei Zhongxian advocated tax collection, but it was beneficial to the country and the people, and it was conducive to the rise of the royal family, in contrast, the Donglin Party evaded taxes and evaded taxes, and all kinds of tricks were really like hamsters, corroding the entire Ming court!"

When the rest of the people heard this, they were silent for a while, but some people still said unwillingly: "Whether what the scholar said is right or not, but when I think of it, this hymn is actually written for Wei Zhongxian, I feel uncomfortable......

"Cough, no matter what, this scholar named Shen Moyun is famous!"

"Isn't it? Wei Zhongxian, who everyone hates, is suddenly written as a big hero, what a strange talent!"

......

When many scholars at the feet of the Son of Heaven were discussing Shen Ye's poems and Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen in the palace was reading the recitals.

A memo was written by a member of the Donglin Party, and it was written that a scholar named Shen Moyun killed a four-grade official, and asked for an order from the Holy Decree to arrest this scholar in prison!

Chongzhen looked at this recital and felt very strange, just a scholar, you Donglin Party members, if you want to catch it, why do you still have a recital, don't you usually catch fewer people?

Chongzhen is really strange, it was written by Wei Zhongxian himself, it was written, a four-grade official wanted to kill a scholar, and the scholar killed him, and now the Donglin Party wants to arrest people, Wei Zhongxian hopes that the saint will uphold justice, and he should not protect the Donglin Party.

Chongzhen looked at the left and right parts, and understood what was going on.

In the final analysis, it is not a matter of scholars and four-grade officials, but a contest between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party.

"However, who is this Shen Moyun, why did he affect the two major parties at once?" Chongzhen was very strange and shouted, "Someone." ”

Soon, an old eunuch walked in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is here." ”

"Who is this Shen Moyun?" Chongzhen asked as he threw out the two copies.

The old eunuch glanced at it and smiled: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the governor you appointed before, the female general, and her husband are this young man named Shen Moyun. ”

"The husband of a governor, why did Duke Wei still go on a special show to protect him?"

Chongzhen asked suspiciously, he could understand that the Donglin Party wanted to arrest Shen Ye, but Wei Zhongxian was not a casual person, how could he easily openly protect a person.

The old eunuch smiled, as if he had foresight, took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve, unfolded it, and showed it to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, if you take a look, you will understand." ”

Chongzhen unfolded it and saw that it was the hymn of the eunuch party, and he couldn't help but read it.

"The eunuchs are good at the ancient style, and their behavior is worthy of praise and disparagement; they immediately rout, and they collapse with gold and drums; they burn the piano and cook the cranes, and the people are full, and the flowers ask the world to be the same; they talk about Confucianism and are upright in their opinions, and they have factory public ...... with swords and bows."

After Chongzhen finished reading, he also showed a sudden look, "It turns out that this scholar wrote such a poem to Wei Gong that shows his heart." ”

The old eunuch smiled: "This is just one of them, if it is just a poem of praise, Wei Gong probably won't care too much, after all, many people have written it for him." ”

"Oh, that's just one, what's the second?" Chongzhen asked curiously.

The old eunuch replied: "The scholar named Shen Moyun also has a theory, saying that Wei Zhongxian is my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, because he took the initiative to collect taxes, and the Donglin Party evaded taxes, which is a disaster for the country and the people, because taxes are the foundation of the country, which can strengthen the country and revitalize the army, and the Donglin Party is a hamster." ”

"Taxation is the foundation of the country, the Donglin Party that evades taxes is a hamster, and the Duke of Wei, who advocates tax collection, is a loyal minister...... That seems to be true. ”

Chongzhen pondered this theory, and then looked at the frank poem of 'the act is worthy of praise and depreciation', he couldn't help but move in his heart, feeling that what Shen Ye seemed to say was not wrong, and it can be said that he hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key points.

Although Chongzhen has always known that Wei Zhongxian's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the Donglin Party colludes with various forces, he has always disliked these two political groups, but now when he looks at Shen Ye's words, he seems to feel that Wei Zhongxian seems to be very useful and loyal, on the other hand, the Donglin Party, in addition to being a hamster, is still a hamster. The previous belief could not help but waver.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two copies of the folds in his hand, picked up the brush, and criticized the Donglin Party's folds and said, 'Continue to investigate thoroughly', and then criticized Wei Zhongxian's folds and said 'accurate'.

One is 'continue to investigate thoroughly,' and the Donglin Party can only investigate, but not arrest; the other is 'quasi,' and Wei Zhongxian can directly protect Shen Ye. The meaning is self-evident!
