Daming heir

Chapter 424

This night, Ying Tiancheng is doomed to have no sleep.

The hundred officials who were expelled from the Meridian Gate by Jin Yiwei didn't go back to the yamen, and rushed home one after another, closing the gate of the mansion tightly.

This time, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty covered their faces and lost their faces, but the rumors became more and more anxious.

In Yingtian East City, at the root of the imperial city, in the Book and Newspaper Bureau, the source of learning of the mind.

The huge courtyard in front is where newspapers are published, but there is another courtyard in the back that is always quiet.

In the court, [-] to [-]% of the officials in the past two days have stopped working.However, the newly promoted officials with a background in Xinxue are still working hard to maintain the minimum operation of the court.

In the courtyard behind the Book and Newspaper Bureau, nearly fifty people gathered here today, and it can be said that the hall is full of people.

Dressed in a crane and big red robe, it is particularly eye-catching in the courtyard.

It's not someone else, it's Yuan Sutai, the current young teacher and supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

Sun Qingshu and Hu Wenhai were on the side, and below were Bai Yuxiu and other Xinxue officials who had just entered the yamen, as well as Jinxue scholars.

Yuan Sutai's complexion was a bit ugly, just because he was surrounded by up-and-coming talents in Xinxue, he had to keep calm.

Yuan Sutai laughed at himself and said softly: "Bachelor Xie and Xia Xingxing are still staying at Wenyuan Pavilion at the moment. The old man is an old scholar, but all he does is farm work. Now he has entered Xinxue halfway, and it is just because he is older than you. Tell you to waste your ears."

Bai Yuxiu, who is now the head of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials of the Sixth Rank, can be regarded as the person with the highest rank besides Yuan Sutai present.

Bai Yuxiu smiled and said, "Young Master Yuan has been cultivating Shanglin Yuanjian for many years, and what he does is to benefit the country and the people. The meritorious deeds that will last for thousands of years are in charge of the stomachs of the people in the world. The study of mind emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action, and the principles of saints." Thousands of articles, doing things down-to-earth is the right way. Doesn’t the young master agree with this, and you should be my senior sir.”

Bai Yuxiu started the conversation, and a smile appeared on Yuan Sutai's face.

He stretched out his hand and nodded to Bai Yuxiu: "It's no wonder that the Bachelor of Interpretation has mentioned you the most."

Bai Yuxiu cupped her hands and said, "That's because Mr. Xie thinks that students are the most incompetent, so he always raises points and supports them from time to time, so that students will not fall behind all the seniors. Every time I think about it, students feel ashamed."

Yuan Sutai shook his head, and said again: "Today it's called Wenhui, but in fact, I still want to talk about the matter of hundreds of officials kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate to force the palace these two days. Most of you are officials in the court. Just like in the past, go to the government office to deal with state affairs. Next, you should be careful, lest those individuals drag you."

"Students are taught."

The young people present clapped their hands in response.

Yuan Sutai said again: "I have always been in the prison of Shanglinyuan. I don't know which yamen you brothers and sisters are in, and I don't know how many of you are officials in the court. But thinking about it, the country will still work hard for you in the future. Daming created a flourishing foundation.

Don't feel resentful or dissatisfied with this preferential treatment by His Majesty who has won the world's academic fame.What His Royal Highness Taisun said is not wrong, everyone in this world is the same, how can there be a distinction between high and low.

I chatted with Bachelor Xie a while ago, and in the words of the scholar, I vaguely mentioned that the country's finances are abundant, and the local plunder is less, and the imperial court will probably give more salaries, so you can't be asked to go to work hungry. "

Preferential treatment of fame and fame is something that every scholar cares about.

Even the students of Xinxue who were present could not turn a blind eye.

Bai Yuxiu looked around, and said, "Students know that the situation of the officials in front of the Meridian Gate today should be a lesson for students."

Today's literary meeting in the book and newspaper bureau is to reassure the hearts of those young mind officials and students.

Hu Wenhai, who was serving Yuan Sutai on behalf of the Book and Newspaper Bureau, said with a smile: "Now the founder of the country is expanding the territory in the south. There are many people and little land, so I just spend some money and food to buy some land there. Although the number of acres is There is a limit, but there is no need to worry about the survival of yourself and your family."

land.

It is something that every Ming person is passionate about, whether it is the emperor, his courtiers, or ordinary people.

Hu Wenhai's words seemed to open up the chatterbox of everyone present.

"I've also heard about the matter Mr. Hu mentioned, but each person can only subscribe for [-] acres. Will this amount be increased?"

"A family of five or six people has five or six hundred acres of land, so they can live comfortably. The students just don't understand, can we still go to farm? How will the harvest be brought home?"

"Students also have some doubts. I don't know how the court will deal with it in the future..."

"..."

The disciples of Xinxue expressed their concerns and questions one after another.

He said that he didn't know Yuan Sutai, who was in Xinxue, but probably he had known him privately, and he knew very well the disciples of Xinxue who asked questions on the spot.

In today's literary meeting, Xie Jin also revealed a lot of news about Wenyuan Pavilion in advance, and with Bai Yuxiu's cooperation, Yuan Sutai's answers were considered pertinent and stable.

Unlike the soothing people in the Book and Newspaper Bureau, and the civil servants in Beijing who were expelled from the palace, the military generals who made great contributions to the founding of the country can be said to be celebrating each other.

Although the meritorious generals did not participate in this encounter, they felt happy in their hearts.

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has become more and more stable, the military generals who founded the country are gradually getting older, and civil affairs are gradually showing their signs. Even with the emperor's trust, the military generals are still very difficult to live.

The money and food for military training should be found in the Ministry of War, military achievements on the battlefield should be found in the Ministry of War, and the transfer of local guards should even be found in the Ministry of Officials.

Although the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has the power to control the soldiers and horses of the Tianxiawei, such power is constrained everywhere.

Now that the civil officials were expelled from the palace by Jin Yiwei, His Majesty the Emperor made a decree to seize the preferential treatment of the world's academic achievements. This is the naked suppression of the gentry and civil officials.

One ebbs and another, the life of the generals of the empire is always much better than in the past.

If Zhongshan Palace and Kaiping Palace hadn't made their voices in private at the same time, and all the meritorious families in Beijing had to keep a low profile, the city would have been full of wine.

dong dong dong.

In Yuqingli to the west of Fuxing Bridge, at the west end of Changfu Street named after the Kaiping Palace, a group of meritorious generals dressed in military uniforms drove to the front of the palace. The accompanying guards walked up the steps and knocked on the door of the Kaiping Palace. Door.

The side door next to the middle door was opened a gap, and the doorman of the Chang family poked his head out to look outside.

"Why is Mr. Lan here?"

Lan Chun, the eldest son of Duke Lan Yu of Liang State, led several meritorious children in Beijing, stood outside the door, looking at the gatehouse of the Chang family.

"My father came in to lead the army and served the court. In the past two years, the family has been taken care of by Chang Sange. Today, I came to thank Chang Sange."

The concierge was a little surprised. The Chang family and the Lan family came from Huaiyou together, so they could be considered relatives apart from that.If it is said that the Chang family takes care of the Lan family, even if they are grateful, they shouldn't come here at this time.

It's just that Lan Chun is the heir apparent of the Duke of Liang's mansion after all, and there are a group of meritorious children behind him. The gatekeeper of the Chang family didn't dare to neglect, opened the side door and stood sideways.

"Mr. Lan, please come in. The villain will go to the back house to report to the third master to know that you are coming."

Lan Chun nodded and said yes, they are all meritorious generals, and they communicate with each other frequently on weekdays.The concierge gave way, and Lan Chun led the familiar Chang's house to the front hall.

For two consecutive days, Chang Sen, who never went home because all the officials knelt at the Meridian Gate, finally waited until Jin Yiwei drove the eggless civil servants in front of the Meridian Gate out of the palace, went home to catch his breath, and was ready to rest early.

But I heard that the boss of Lan Yu's family brought a group of generals over.

Chang Sen had doubts in his heart, but he still asked someone to wait for him to get dressed, and he also asked someone to go to the second room and tell Chang Jizu to go ahead.

Chang Sen and Chang Jizu had already rushed over before Lan Chun and others who were ushered into the front hall of Chang's house finished drinking a cup of tea.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Lan Chun coughed lightly, and led a group of general disciples to stand up, bowing and clasping fists.

"Lan Chun met Brother Chang."

Although it wasn't neat, but in the front hall led by Lan Chun, the disciples of the Jiangmen were all yelling hard, some called the third elder brother of the Chang family, and some called the third uncle of the Chang family.

Chang Sen was puzzled at first, seeing the appearance of these boys, he couldn't help looking sideways at Chang Jizu.

Chang Jizu shook his head, he is still busy passing the entrance examination of the martial arts hall, he has not had time to interact with the brothers for a long time, and he is not clear about their purpose today.

Chang Sen frowned, walked into the hall, smiled, and pressed his palms down: "Sit down, sit down, I grew up watching them, I still remember how they all competed to pee at home with their buttocks naked, How can there be so many rules now?"

Lan Chun showed an embarrassing and honest smile on his face, motioning for everyone to sit down.

Chang Jizu, who was accompanying him at the side, took the opportunity to say: "The concierge at the front just mentioned that Uncle Chun wanted to come to the house to thank you, but it seems strange."

Lan Chun cupped his hands: "In the past few years, my father has been working abroad, and the elders of each family have also served the country outside. The trivial matters of each family always make Third Brother Chang bother. I should wait to say thank you. of."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the children of all the families also opened their mouths. For a while, the front hall of the Chang family was extremely lively and peaceful.

Chang Sen just had a somewhat restrained smile on his face: "In that case, why don't you guys accompany me to have some wine? Tell me to have a look too. The children of my great Ming generals are all heroic, with the legacy of their fathers. .”

Lan Chun frowned, and said with a light smile: "In front of Third Brother Chang, we can only be the defeated ones. It's just that we don't forget the glory of our fathers and serve our country. The country opened up the territory. I am not as good as my father, but I also have the heart to serve the country."

Now that the rumors of Yingtian are so tight, the civil servants have been beaten and expelled from the palace by Jin Yiwei, it can be said that they have lost all face. If this is the time, if the general does not do anything, then there will be no general.

Not having a banquet and calling friends is already giving face to the civil servants.

Chang Sen frowned: "The affairs of the state are decided by His Majesty and the Crown Prince. It has been several years since the Martial Arts Hall has been opened, and some of the generals have already entered, and some are still undergoing assessment. Your Majesty gave the opportunity Also given the way, you have to work harder, enter the martial arts hall and study for two or three years, and you can go to the nine sides of Ming Dynasty and the south."

Lan Chun's eyes turned, and when Chang Sen picked up the teacup at hand, he began to squeeze the lid of the tea to wipe off the foam on the tea soup.

Only then did Lan Chun open his mouth and said, "It's just that the recent incidents in the court have made my nephew somewhat suspicious. Brothers from all families probably think the same way. Therefore, I came here today to thank Third Brother Chang for his support over the past few years. The care of each family, secondly, they want to ask the third brother to help the nephews."

Chang Sen took a sip of the tea soup, put down the teacup, and looked at Lan Chun and the others: "Oh? Is there anything you need me to explain to you? Let's just listen to it. I can only agree in advance. If I can't do it, I can't do it." Luan promised you."

"That's not the case, I don't dare to embarrass the third brother." Lan Chun repeatedly shook his head and waved his hands, and after exhaling for breath, he continued: "Recently, the incident in front of the Meridian Gate occurred in the court. It is a decree to take away the fame and preferential treatment of those scholars. The nephews are worried whether we will be pushed to the top of the limelight because of it."

Chang Jizu, who was accompanying to listen, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Lan Chun's words.

It was a good sentence, but he turned several corners before saying it in a daze.

Hearing the sincerity of this, Chang Sen unexpectedly showed a chuckle on his face: "Who is your Majesty, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong, you people, just put your heart in your stomach."

Lan Chun immediately opened his mouth, "If that's the case, then the situation at this moment is like what my father and brothers always say at home, the enemy and the enemy ebb and flow. Should we follow the trend and make a difference?"

This is Lan Chun's real purpose.

There was another sentence that he never said.

That was in the old days, when there was no five-army governor's mansion in Ming Dynasty, there was only one major governor's mansion, and that was the most glorious moment for the generals of the empire.

Chang Jizu looked at the children of each family in the hall, and from the corner of his eye, he passed the third uncle who was frowning. He made some noises, attracting everyone's attention.

Then Chang Jizu said: "My younger brother is not talented, but I have a different opinion on recent events. I wonder if Uncle Chun and the brothers from other families would like to hear it."

Lan Chun stretched out his hand and said, "They're all brothers from my own family. Brother Chang San is also here, so there's nothing we can say."

Chang Jizu nodded and said: "I thought that these things are the affairs of the civil servants in the court recently, no matter what the final result is, as the third uncle said, there must be an order from His Majesty.

We and others, according to what Uncle Chun said, have reached the cusp of the storm, and at this time we need to talk less and do less, so as to ensure that no mistakes are made.If you talk too much and do too much, you will inevitably make mistakes. At that time, it may be the real cusp. "

Lan Chun wanted to speak.

Chang Sen, who was sitting above, had already lightly patted his palm on the table: "When Dian Maoxia was on duty to return to the residence earlier, the Taisun sent a message that His Highness will go to the lecture hall in the next few days.

As for the affairs of the civil servants, I'm afraid there will be another commotion about the Jinyi guards' beating and expulsion, so you should hold your temper and just watch the fun. "

After finishing speaking, Chang Sen let out a natural breath.

Chang Jizu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since you are all here, Uncle Chun, let's go have a drink together. Earlier, I asked the family to prepare a banquet, so tonight I will fall down, it doesn't matter who is at home."

While talking, Chang Jizu didn't care if Lan Chun was willing or not, so he dragged Lan Chun out.

Lan Chun had no choice but to follow Chang Jizu's interruption.

In my heart, I remembered what Chang Sange said just now, the civil servants might continue to make trouble, but the grandson would go to the martial arts hall at this time.
