Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 221 The Angry Zhou Yanru

In the morning, when the sun was just rising, several carriages slowly stopped at the gate of the capital.

"Hey, what are you pulling? Get checked."

A city guard watched the convoy approaching slowly, and hurriedly surrounded it.

A young man sitting on a horse took out about five taels of silver from his pocket and threw it to the surrounding soldiers.

"Don't meddle in other people's business and live a little longer, this money will reward you." The young man said jokingly as he looked at the guarding soldier who was holding the money with a playful smile on his face.

"Come on, these masters, you come in!"

The soldier put the silver in his arms, hurriedly moved out of the way, and let them in.

The young man looked at the shops and teahouses lined up on the street, and with an idea, he shouted to the followers behind him: "Distribute all these newspapers to me, remember, distribute them to teahouses, brothels and inns where there is a lot of traffic. "

"Yes!"

The man behind him arched his hands at him, then picked up the newspaper on the carriage, and walked towards the surrounding shops, teahouses, inns and brothels.

……

"Asshole, what an asshole, where did this come from? It's just nonsense, such an asshole!"

Zhou Yanru sat in his hall, slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said angrily.

This morning, his housekeeper went out to buy.When passing a teahouse, I suddenly heard people talking about Zhou Yanru inside.

Out of curiosity, he walked in with a few people.

As a result, as soon as he walked in, he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar holding a piece of paper and reading it frantically.

"Zhou Yanru is really a villain, and Qin Hui and Jia Sidao in Song Dynasty are not as good. Although he is a cabinet minister, he is a generation who has forgotten his ancestors and disrespects his ancestors. He is really treacherous and loyal!"

The housekeeper looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar, his face flushed red.

He directly led his servants to beat up the middle-aged Confucian scholar, then snatched the newspaper from the middle-aged Confucian scholar's hand, and brought it back to the mansion.

Zhou Yanru looked at the housekeeper who was standing in the hall, not daring to take a breath, and asked with a gloomy expression, "What's going on?"

"My lord, I don't know the little one. This morning, the villain led his servants to go shopping. When passing by a teahouse, I suddenly heard voices talking about adults. Out of curiosity, I walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar reading with a piece of paper, and was still mocking the master.I couldn't understand him, so I beat him up and brought you this piece of paper back. "

The housekeeper looked at Zhou Yanru with a gloomy expression, and said cautiously.

"Does anyone know this Mr. Boya? It's a joke to use such crude means to slander me." Zhou Yanru looked at the signature on the newspaper and sneered.

"But master, now everyone in the capital knows about it. According to the news heard by my servant, the Ming Pao suddenly appeared in the capital this morning, and now the whole capital knows about it."

The housekeeper lowered his head, afraid of offending Zhou Yanru, he said cautiously.

"It's just a bunch of villains. It's a joke to compare me with Qin Hui Jia Sidao. They don't even think about it. Now that I have joined the cabinet, it is normal to have some gossip. These things are only circulated in the market now. If it is well controlled, it can be remedied.

Later, you will take my invitation and go to Wucheng Bingmasi, and lead the soldiers to the street to search for these things for me.Remember, once you find out who did this, you must arrest him. "Zhou Yanru looked at the butler coldly.

"But my lord, this thing called Da Ming Pao is all over the market now, I'm afraid I can't find it out." The housekeeper looked at Zhou Yanru with a look of fear.

Zhou Yanru slapped the table, and said coldly: "If you can't check it out, you have to check it out. You must check all the Da Ming Newspapers on the market for me."

As a member of the Donglin Party, he is very wary of things like public opinion.

The scene of Dongnan's tax resistance was in front of him, and he couldn't allow him to deal with it carelessly.

Now this Da Ming Pao suddenly appeared on the market. Although it only appeared for a day, it was still well known in the entire capital.

If it is not controlled, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhou Yanru waved to the butler, making him back out.

After the butler withdrew, Zhou Yanru picked up the Da Ming Pao and looked at it with a gloomy face.

……

With the arrival of the Great Ming Pao, countless disturbances were set off in the entire capital in an instant.

"Hehe, let me just say why I can't find a good job. It turns out that there are treacherous officials in the court."

In an inn, a middle-aged Confucian scholar in his 40s held a Da Ming newspaper and kept sneering.

This person is a scholar from Beizhili. Because of his family's decline, he had to come to the capital to make a living.

At the beginning, he was still full of enthusiasm, thinking that he should be able to make a career in the capital.

But for so many years, he has always been that useless scholar who can only write letters to others to make a living.

He is an extremely conceited person. He thinks that he has the ability to master the world, but all of this is because others are ignorant.

He never thought it was his own fault that he couldn't find a good job. The reason why he couldn't find a good job and failed the Juren examination was not his fault, but because the court didn't know what to do.

"Hmph, let me tell you why I failed to pass the Juren examination again and again. It turns out that there is a traitor in the court. No wonder, all of this is the reason for this traitor. The dignified cabinet boss is actually a traitor. There is still a traitor in the court Is it a clean place?"

People like middle-aged Confucian scholars never look for reasons in themselves.

They just blame everything on other people.

There was no suitable candidate before, but now the Daming Daily tells them that the reason why you failed to pass the exam is not your fault, but that there are traitors in the court.

All of a sudden, these mediocre scholars found a vent, and they all blamed Zhou Yanru for their underappreciation and other things.

"Hmph, this Zhou Yanru is really not a thing, he actually slandered a general with empty teeth, he really is a traitor, he really is a character like Qin Hui."

When the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw Zhou Yanru falsely accusing Zhao Wen, he suddenly became angry.

The Da Ming Daily gave a slightly exaggerated account of Zhao Wen's resume.

It is said that when Jiannu soldiers besieged the capital, only Zhao Wen's army dared to fight Jiannu in the field, and during the field battle, they defeated Jiannu and gained countless gains.

In Da Ming Pao, Zhao Wen was portrayed as a character like Yue Fei.

All of a sudden, these Confucian scholars were even more upset.

In their view, Zhao Wen is a general who is upright and loyal to state affairs. He is a figure like Yue Fei. Now you, Zhou Yanru, have written a letter to His Majesty saying that Zhao Wen tried to intervene in the sea ban. Isn't this nonsense?
Xuan Town is located in the northern border of Daming, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the sea, even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't intervene.I really don't know what Zhou Yanru was thinking this time, that he wanted to use this to impeach Zhao Wen?
Not only him, but almost everyone in the entire capital is discussing this matter.

For these common people, it was Zhao Wen who repelled the Jiannu who besieged the city at the beginning, and he was also their savior and a loyal minister.

So when they saw Zhou Yanru's impeachment of Zhao Wen on the Daming Newspaper, they immediately thought of Yue Fei's past.People unknowingly link the two things together.

For a while, almost everyone was scolding Zhou Yanru angrily, and some even ran to Zhou Yanru's door and threw things like rotten eggs.

"Brother Wang, I think this Zhou Yanru is really hateful!" Just when the Confucian scholars were angry, several scholars in patched T-shirts walked into the inn. They looked at Wang Ming who was sitting in the lobby, gnashing his teeth. Said angrily.

Wang Ming slapped the Ming Pao on the table fiercely, attracting countless people who were eating to look at it.

Wang Ming didn't feel embarrassed because of this, he looked at Jin Wanlin and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I just said why we can't win the Juren with our ability, even if we can't win the Juren, it's still okay to find a good job in the capital questionable.

It turned out that all of this was Zhou Yanru's fault and his fault.Take a look at what Zhou Yanru has done this week? "

Wang Ming pointed to the big Ming newspaper on the table, his face uncertain.

Jin Wanlin also held a Da Ming Pao in his hand. He shook the Da Ming Pao in front of Wang Ming's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Tonight there will be a literary conference in the Yingchun Tower, which is about Zhou Yanru's impeachment of the general of a town. Regarding the matter, will Brother Wang go or not?"

"Go, why don't you go? How can I leave out Wang Ming for this kind of thing?"

Wang Ming looked at Jin Wanlin and said loudly.

……

When the sun began to slant to the west, Jin Wanlin, Wang Ming and a large group of people hurried towards the Yingchun Building.

"Brother Jin, who is leading the essay meeting this time?" Wang Ming looked at Jin Wanlin who was walking beside him, and asked.

Wang Ming looked at Jin Wanlin with a puzzled expression. He had to know that although Yingchun Building was not the most expensive brothel in the capital, it was not something they could afford.

So this Wang Ming became a little puzzled. Usually, the essay meetings were held in some taverns or small inns. It was a bit uncomfortable to have an essay meeting in the Yingchun Tower unexpectedly.

Wan Jinlin looked at Wang Ming, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I don't know too well, I also heard people say it. The person who took the lead seems to be a scholar in the capital. His father was originally an official of Honglu Temple. Because of Zhou Yanru's slander, his father was dismissed by His Majesty because of Zhou Yanru's slander.

At that time, he had already passed the provincial examination and saw that he had won the honor of Juren, but because of this, he was deprived of the honor of Juren. "

"This Zhou Yanru is really not a thing, to be able to do such a thing, it is nothing at all." Wang Ming cursed angrily, and then followed closely behind Jin Wanlin, heading towards Yingchun Tower.

When they arrived at the Yingchun Building, many people had already arrived in the Yingchun Building.

"Excuse me, is he a scholar in the capital?"

As soon as they reached the door of Yingchun Tower, a man who looked like a servant greeted them with a smile on his face.

"We are." Jin Wanlin said to the boy.

The servant bowed his hands at them, and then led them in.

When they were led by the servants to the backyard of Yingchun Building, the backyard was already full of people.

A handsome young man holding a folding fan came over, "Brother Jin, Brother Wang, hurry up. The Yingchun Building has been reserved today, and all the snacks and fine wines in the Yingchun Building can be eaten and drank as you please. "

This person is called Tan Yulang, and he is a scholar from a good family background. He doesn't like to read books on weekdays, but likes to fool around with people like Wang Ming and criticize current affairs.

"Really? The person who took the lead this time is so bold?" Maybe Wang Ming was used to it, but he didn't react to this scene suddenly.

Tan Yulang laughed and said, "Oh, don't bother with so many things. Those who can come today are people with names and surnames in the capital. Come, come, I will introduce you to Zhao Wenjun who is the leader."

After speaking, Tan Yulang led them towards Zhao Wenjun.

This Zhao Wenjun is none other than Zhao Wen.

The main purpose of Zhao Wen's coming to the capital this time was to discuss something with Cao Huachun, but when he saw that everyone in the capital was talking about Zhou Yanru.Thinking about it, I wanted to give Zhou Yanru a big blow, and add fuel to the flames.

Zhao Wen came here this time for the sake of convenience, so he gave himself a pseudonym.

Zhao Wen was standing under a pavilion with a glass of fine wine in his hand. He looked at more and more talented people with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yanru, let me see what you are going to do now? You have impeached me from the beginning, and now you are impeaching me again. I have no grudge against you, right? Why do you keep holding on to me? Since you Hold on to me all the time, hehe, let's take a look and see who can have the last laugh."

Zhao Wen looked at the scholar in the yard with a sneer on his face.

"Come here, this is the Zhao Wenjun I told you about." Tan Yulang led Jin Wanlin and Wang Ming to Zhao Wen, pointed at Zhao Wen, and said to the two.

Zhao Wen picked up two glasses of wine from the table next to him, handed them to Jin Wanlin and Wang Ming, and said with a smile on his face. "Come on, everyone who can come today is my friend Zhao Wenjun, please drink up this cup."

"Thank you, brother." The two looked at Zhao Wen's smile like a spring breeze.

The two of them were originally poor and poor scholars in the capital, and they were stared at all the time. Now someone treats them so solemnly, which suddenly touched their heartstrings, and made them suddenly have a feeling of dying for their confidantes.

"You go to have some snacks first, after half an hour, the literary meeting will begin." Zhao Wen waved his hand to them, and said calmly.

"Yes!" The two cupped their hands at Zhao Wengong, and then walked towards the rear.

The number of scholars in the yard is constantly increasing, and fortunately the yard is relatively large, otherwise, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

Of course, not all the scholars in the capital came.

The ones who came were mainly scholars who were extremely down-and-out and struggling to live.

In this yard, there are quite a few young women in green clothes and tulle walking around with jugs in their hands.

These young girls were specially arranged by Zhao Wen.

When almost everyone in the courtyard arrived, Zhao Wen stood on a relatively high ground holding a wine glass.

Qi Qingtian stood beside Zhao Wen. As for Zhao Daniu and other personal guards, they had already surrounded the entire Yingchun Building to protect the Yingchun Building.

From time to time, there were burly servants walking around in the crowd, and without exception, they were all Zhao Wen's personal guards.

"Everyone, please drink up this cup." Looking at the scholar standing in the yard, Zhao Wen raised the wine cup in his hand high.

At this moment, the moon slowly rose and appeared behind Zhao Wen, which seemed somewhat holy.

"Young Master Zhao, you are being polite. Let's respect Mr. Zhao." Wang Ming shouted loudly at Zhao Wen while holding the wine glass.

Under Wang Ming's mobilization, all the scholars toasted a glass of wine to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen wiped the wine from his mouth, looked at the people below and said slowly, "Do you know why I want to hold this literary meeting?"

"But because of that bastard Zhou Yanru?" Wang Ming looked at Zhao Wen and shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhao Wen looked at Wang Ming and said, "You're right, it's because of that Zhou Yanru. Ladies and gentlemen, have you been reading something called Da Ming Pao recently?"

"That's right, the Daming Newspaper's limelight is the same in the capital now. But we don't know if it's true or not." Tan Yulang looked at Zhao Wen and said loudly.

"Brother Tan, is this still fake? This week Yanru wrote a letter to impeach Zhao Wen and Zhao Zongbing, and now the city is full of storms. Do you still think it's fake?"
