Ming politicians

() Wu Weiye's expression became strange. When he was in the stables, he once discussed with his colleagues in private, thinking that Su Tiancheng's move was just because Jiangning County needed the help of many gentry and wealthy households, not some people It was imagined that the interests of wealthy gentry households were going to be affected, but judging from what Su Tiancheng said, it was really going to affect the interests of wealthy gentry households.

When he came to Nanzhili, he received a letter from his mentor Zhang Pu, in which he severely criticized Su Tiancheng's actions, and believed that the actions were outrageous and violated the legal system of the ancestors.

Wu Weiye was in a very difficult situation. He knew Su Tiancheng's ability. He had done so many great things in Jiangning County for more than a year, and almost all of them caused a sensation in the court. Pay attention, given time, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet and then control the court, but the teacher's teachings made him not know what to do.

Wu Weiye understood Zhang Pu's prestige even more. If there was a direct collision between Su Tiancheng and Zhang Pu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing Wu Weiye's expression was very strange, Su Tiancheng was sensitive to something.

"Master Wu, this time we are visiting Nanzhili, can we visit our mentor by the way?"

Wu Weiye nodded in astonishment, he never expected that Su Tiancheng would have such a keenness.

"So, Mr. Zhang must be very concerned about what happened in Jiangning County."

"Master Su, please don't misunderstand me. I am representing the imperial court to understand the situation. As for right and wrong, the imperial court can make its own judgment. It is reasonable that I plan to visit my teacher."

"Master Wu. In the previous conversation, you were the censor, and I was the magistrate of Jiangning County. We had a business conversation, and the following words were personal conversations. Your mentor, Mr. Zhang Pu, is famous. Yuanyang, I have also heard about it. If it is an academic exchange, I am willing to listen to Mr. Zhang Pu's teachings. When it comes to this matter of governance, I ask Brother Wu to forgive me. Even if Mr. Zhang Pu is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River. Don't think about it Interfere in the affairs of my Jiangning County."

Wu Weiye's face was red and white, and he didn't know what to say. He couldn't say anything evil, especially in March this year.Fushe held its third conference in Suzhou, and the number of participants from all over the country reached thousands, which caused a huge commotion, and the fame of Fushe and Zhang Pu.It has reached its peak, so that the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.I dare not call Zhang Pu by his name directly.

This is by no means a good thing. Wu Weiye is aware of the party struggle within the imperial court. The current situation of Fushe also has the smell of party struggle, and it is particularly obvious.

Zhang Pu originally returned to his hometown Taicang, Suzhou, last winter to bury his father. After that, he wrote books and gave lectures at home.

The reason why there are so many scholars apprentices is that Zhang Pu spared no effort and tried his best when supporting and rewarding his disciples. Of course, it is impossible to do it all in an upright manner. Even so, he can do this , It's not that simple. Some people said that the list and order of the provincial examinations in Nanzhili were all compiled by Zhang Pu in advance.

All of this indicates that Zhang Pu has already begun to interfere in the government.

This is a very dangerous approach, and Wu Weiye also has some opinions. Since he wants to make a difference in academics, he should write books with peace of mind, and intervene in government affairs under the guise of writing books. This is the most important thing. jaw-dropping.Especially the letter he wrote this time made Wu Weiye very uncomfortable. He represented the imperial court and came to Nanzhili for inspection. But in the letter, Pu condemned Su Tiancheng wantonly, as if Su Tiancheng was heinous and the enemy of the entire gentry and bureaucracy.

Of course, Wu Weiye knew Su Tiancheng's stubbornness, ability, and skill. He didn't want to have a big conflict between his teacher Zhang Pu and Su Tiancheng. When something happened, these people made a fuss, not enough to succeed, but more to fail.

"Brother Su, since it was a private conversation, I should tell the truth. My teacher did have some criticisms about this matter, but I think it is up to the emperor to decide what is right and what is wrong. What I thought was, brother Su As an official in Nanzhili, it is better not to be too antagonistic to many gentry and wealthy households, otherwise it will be difficult in the future."

Su Tiancheng's expression softened a little, Wu Weiye was indeed thinking of him.

"Brother Wu, you still don't understand me. It's no wonder that we didn't work together. You should know about Zhou Shunqing. At that time, Lord Zhou Yanru was the chief assistant of the cabinet. Zhou Shunqing had been doing evil in Jiangning County for many years. Everyone I turned a blind eye and closed my eyes, nothing more than thinking about my own future. As for the interests of the common people, I put it aside for the time being, but how I dealt with it, I don’t care about those things. When I took office in Jiangning County, I just said a word, if you are an official and don’t make decisions for the people, it’s better to go home and grow sweet potatoes; if you think too much about something, it’s better not to do it.”

"Brother Su's meaning, I understand. It's just that there are many students under my mentor's school. I want to remind you."

"Thank you. I understand what you mean. I never believe in authority, and I don't like empty talk. Officials in Jiangning County must do things. If you can't do things, you have the eloquence to turn stones into gold, so don't Thinking of starting here."

Wu Weiye sighed. He didn't know that Su Tiancheng's attitude when facing Qian Qianyi and Huang Daozhou had already explained everything. Fushe's views were completely consistent with those of the Donglin Party. It is exactly what Su Tiancheng objected to. After a period of hard work, he also discovered that it is indeed wrong to talk about it. When encountering any practical problem, he must first argue from a moral standpoint, even regardless of the actual situation. If you are very ignorant, let’s talk about the extermination of bandits. From the point of view of my teacher Zhang Pu, I will punish the chief criminal and leave the rest alone. Even if the chief criminal is willing to surrender, he can also consider probation.

The imperial court suffered too much in this regard.

Wu Weiye is not easy to express his position, he can't betray Zhang Pu, otherwise he can't bear the crime, but he has his own views on the specific matter in Jiangning County.

"Brother Su, I basically understand your point of view. According to your actions, the imperial court can benefit greatly. It's just that you didn't consider your personal future and what you learned."< It's just a dream, but when things come to an end, I can't retreat. When it comes to fundamental and principled matters, I will not change my point of view. To be able to adhere to such principles and bottom lines, what to rely on is to be able to do it in a down-to-earth manner Get results, this is the best counterattack, let Qingliu who surnamed Tan see whether it is more important to do things or to talk. "

After Wu Weiye left, Su Tiancheng fell into deep thought.

Today's conversation is very crucial, at least he understands that the seemingly small matter in Jiangning County has caused a lot of controversy in the court, and it has also affected the Donglin Party and the Fushe.

Zhang Pu's power should not be underestimated. During the Tianqi period, Zhang Pu founded Yingshe in Suzhou to deal with Wei Zhongxian. Scholars all over the world responded one after another. With the support of Xiong Kaiyuan, the county magistrate of Wujiang, Fushe was established in Wujiang and merged the learning societies from all over the Ming Dynasty. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu won the Juren examination and presided over the second meeting of Fushe in Nanjing. , After that, he went to the stables to take part in the general examination and palace examination, and was awarded the Shu Jishi of the Imperial Academy.

When Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw Zhang Pu for the first time, he attached great importance and appreciation to him, and because Zhang Pu received Zhou Yanru's attention, he could deal with any matter at will, so that he treated Wu Weiye as editor. Pupils treat.

In the winter of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu resigned from the Hanlin Academy because he went home to bury his father and followed the etiquette system.

When Su Tiancheng participated in the general examination and palace examination, he did not directly contact Zhang Pu. He had a very bad opinion of Donglin Party and Fushe, so it was impossible for him to contact Zhang Pu directly, and he did not know why. Did not come to visit him.

Afterwards, Su Tiancheng was released directly, and when they arrived in Jiangning County, there was no direct contact between the two of them.

Su Tiancheng's views on Fushe are even worse. If the party struggle of the Donglin Party is a bit of a cover-up, Fushe is naked. At the beginning of Fushe's establishment, the original intention was good and it was also to correct The disadvantages of the imperial court, but with the development and growth, more people joined the Fushe, it is inevitable that some young people will come in, and the managers are self-proclaimed, blindly safeguarding the interests of the Fushe, and will not allow others to say a bad word, As a result, Fushe has gradually transformed from a place for studying and learning to a place for fighting for power and interests.

Because of the growth of Fushe, Zhang Pu controlled the imperial examinations and intervened in the government through his own influence and the influence of Fushe, which caused a very bad influence.

This time, he had a premonition that there might be an unusual collision between himself and Zhang Pu. Zhang Pu was only [-] years old and older than Qian Qianyi and Huang Daozhou. Touting, even more arrogant, thinking of meddling in everything.

Judging from Wu Weiye's attitude, Zhang Pu must have exerted unusual pressure, but Wu Weiye was very embarrassed.

A sneer appeared on Su Tiancheng's face. He didn't care about any authority. Everything was done, not said. If Zhang Pu was a person who could do practical things, that's all. Society, expanding its own influence, and secretly controlling the government, facing such a situation, Su Tiancheng would never back down, he would definitely go against it. (To be continued.
