Ming politicians

() Qingcui came in with a strange look on her face, and soon, the madam came in after her, with a smile on her face.

"Hey, there are a lot of distinguished guests here today, and the slave came here to explain. Sister Mei has already arrived downstairs, and there are many young masters who followed."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, and didn't know what to say. Qu Qingze was dumbfounded, he didn't want to make public at first, but now, Gu Hengbo also came over, it must be for Su Tiancheng.

Liu Rushi's complexion is not very good-looking, tonight is very special for her, leaving Su Tiancheng behind, after some gentleness, many things can be settled, even though there are still many things to come There are many things that need to be done, but as long as you start, you can always achieve your goal step by step.

The first person to come in was a man who looked a little old, probably at the age of knowing destiny.

Gu Hengbo followed behind this person, and behind her, there was a group of young people, the third son of Donglin, among them.

Su Tiancheng's expression was as usual, but in his heart, he already felt a little uncomfortable. He hated the Donglin Party a little. He always liked to talk empty words, and put himself in a high position, as if others were all sentient beings waiting to be saved by him. Forget it, some people have one thing on the outside and another on the back, and they are keen on party struggles. Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish.

In his opinion, the demise of the Ming Dynasty had a lot to do with the Donglin Party.

The reason for recruiting Liu Yunqing, Su Tiancheng's idea is to continue to support Liu Yunqing, and finally let Liu Yunqing gradually reform the Donglin Party and get rid of those pedantic cognitions.Let the people of insight in the Donglin Party be used by the court.

Partisanship will always exist.But it must give way to national interests.

The identity of this old-looking person must not be simple. All the stars are holding the moon, and Gu Hengbo is walking behind.

"This is Mr. Su. Hearing what Miss Mei said, Cao Min thought he must come to visit."

"Don't dare, I'm going to be Su Tiancheng."

"Hehe, it really is Mr. Su. Caomin Huang Daozhou."

A gleam of light flashed in Su Tiancheng's eyes, he never expected that it was too coincidental to meet Huang Daozhou here.

"It turned out to be Master Huang. I dare not take it upon myself. I should visit Master Huang."

"My lord, you are joking. The next grassroots people have no official position, so I dare not bear such a title."

With a smile on Su Tiancheng's face, there was a subtle change in his heart. Huang Daozhou was known for his simplicity.Sure enough, it is well-deserved, and I don't know how to change it. Why should I show such a temperament in front of myself.

"Master Huang, don't be humble. You are a direct remonstrance from the court. I am famous in the court and the public, and I have heard of it a long time ago. I admire this boldness. Master Huang is a role model for me."

A smile appeared on Huang Daozhou's face, but this smile quickly subsided. He taught at Donglin Academy and heard a lot about Su Tiancheng, including the conversation between Su Tiancheng and Qian Qianyi. Su Tiancheng was the second place in the palace examination, and his poems were the best in the world and wiped out Zijin Liang, but after all, he was young, so he should be humble and low-key. Facing the leader of Donglin Party Qian Qianyi, he was too much. Gu Hengbo's mood was a little abnormal before. , He cleverly asked the reason, learned that Su Tiancheng was in Wangfeng Tower, and insisted on coming to visit, he also wanted to give a sigh of relief for Donglin Academy, at least to make Su Tiancheng be more modest.

"Master Su is joking. The grassroots dare not compare with Master Su. Master Su has extraordinary literary talents in his weak years. He has established so many meritorious deeds. He is a rare talent."

Behind Huang Daozhou, many Donglin students had already sneered. No matter how famous Su Tiancheng was, he still couldn't show his qualifications in front of Huang Daozhou.Su Tiancheng looked down on Donglin Academy and blatantly hired Liu Yunqing. He was already an opponent of the Donglin Party. For such a thing, let Huang Daozhou come to teach Su Tiancheng. .

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng somewhat understood that Zodiac Zhou was not kind, not because he admired him, but because he was preparing to teach him a lesson. , but between hearing and seeing, it is more or less biased towards the Donglin Party.

"Since Mr. Huang said that, I think of a sentence. The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead. If I am a young man in Ming Dynasty, I would not dare to innovate. I would only follow the lead of my predecessors. I think that there is no hope for this."

In the room, it suddenly became quiet. The meaning of this sentence was too obvious.

Huang Daozhou's complexion also changed a little bit, even though he was old, he couldn't help it anymore.

He still wrote about Su Tiancheng well. Anyway, Su Tiancheng has done so many things. Looking at today's scholars, including young people, no one has the courage and credit of Su Tiancheng. He once heard that the garrison Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan was promoted to guerrilla general when he was 20 years old. He had some heroic performances in the contest with Hou Jin, but compared with Su Tiancheng, he was not on the same level.

In less than a year since Su Tiancheng took office, he killed the two leaders of the bandits one after another, not sticking to the mud and Zijinliang, this is not easy.

However, he is a scholar-bureaucrat and follows the rules. In his eyes, an outstanding young man must be low-key, modest, do things in obscurity, and respect his predecessors. After a period of time, he will grow slowly and eventually become a towering tree. .

To say that his understanding is not wrong, but it is a pity that it was placed in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of understanding is definitely not enough. If everything is done step by step, the Ming Dynasty will perish in a few years.

Before Huang Daozhou could speak, Zou Pingzhang behind him spoke.

"Master Su is the official of the imperial court. We are all ordinary people. It's nothing to look for flowers and willows. The imperial court has a clear request. I don't know how to explain that your lord has come to Wangfeng Tower."

Zou Pingzhang is still young. Asking such a question in Qinhuai River is self-inflicted and boring. At least it belongs to the category of laughing at fifty steps. Donglin students have always regarded themselves as clean streams. To stand firm.

Liu Rushi looked at Zou Pingzhang, his expression showed anger, and even the expression he looked at Gu Hengbo was not very good. The meaning of Zou Pingzhang's words was obviously ridiculing the girls in brothels. stained.

Gu Hengbo's complexion was even worse. He would never have thought that a student from Donglin who is usually high-sounding would say such a thing. Could it be that he was thinking of attacking others, so he didn't care about anything.

Su Tiancheng gave Zou Pingzhang a cold look. He would not miss such an opportunity. It seems that the students of Donglin Academy should be taught a good lesson.

"Hehe, it seems that brother Zou really thinks of himself as a pure stream. In your eyes, the girl in the brothel is purely of the third class. You come to the brothel purely for entertainment. You base your own happiness on the pain of others. Above all, this doesn't seem to be the idea advocated by Qingliu."

Zou Pingzhang's face turned red, he knew what he said, he didn't say it well, and he committed a taboo, but the words have come to this point, if he just admit defeat, it would be too embarrassing.

"Lord Su, don't change the subject. Your lord is an official of the imperial court. He is much stronger than me. Even if I came to the brothel for entertainment, I don't know what your lord did when he came to the brothel. Could it be a business?"

There was a smile on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Zou Pingzhang, it's all said in the Book of Songs that being a fair lady, a gentleman likes to eat, and eating sex is the nature of human beings. There is no need to say more about such basic principles. I admire your frankness. Compared with those who are full of knowledge Hypocrites, it’s much better, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, personal pursuit is personal freedom, as an official of the imperial court, that is, an ordinary person, I dare not pretend to be clean, I admire Miss Liu Yin, what’s wrong?”

Zou Pingzhang was tongue-tied and speechless, Su Tiancheng's magnanimity was beyond his expectation.

Huang Daozhou couldn't bear it anymore, and came up with a theory.

"Lord Su, as an imperial court official, you still need to restrain yourself. There are some things that literati and students can do to comfort themselves, but imperial court officials may not be able to do them."

"Master Huang, whoever is telling the truth, I don't care about those theories. The words of a sage are not golden rules. The essence and the dross are together. It is said that the women in the brothel, who lean on the door and sell their laughter, are also for the sake of life. They have the right to pursue happiness. Throughout the ages, the brothel There are countless strange women. On the contrary, there are scum among officials everywhere. Isn't this the greatest irony? As an official, he puts on airs and looks down on women from brothels. Own."

Huang Daozhou looked at Su Tiancheng, his eyes became deeper.

"Master Su might as well be more clear."

"Master Huang asked the bottom line, and I'll just say that as an official of the imperial court, he needs to be cautious and self-examination all the time. What are the aspects of this self-examination and self-examination? Is it talking big every day, claiming to be clean, or doing everything personally? To make a career and benefit the people, if you first stand under the high mountain, despise all living beings, and be the only one, how can you be diligent and diligent, and when you are an official, you don’t make decisions for the people. It’s better to go home and grow sweet potatoes, but in your heart, you regard all living beings Treat yourself as an ant, see yourself as a sage, and can't feel the suffering of all beings. The so-called benefiting the people is just a flower in the mirror."

Everyone was silent. They instinctively felt that there was something wrong with what Su Tiancheng said, but they didn't know where to refute it. Of course, Su Tiancheng didn't dare to say more radical views, for example, all people are born equal. There is no distinction between high and low. If this is the case, it is a taboo. The emperor is the real dragon emperor. If you say this, where will you put the emperor? (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
