Ming politicians

() "The first question, today you invited me to dinner, do you want to blame me. <>"

Zhang Pu nodded and didn't speak, as if he was relieved.

"Second question, since you are here to question me, do you represent whom, the imperial court, or an individual."

"Su Tiancheng, what do you mean by that? I'm not an imperial court official. Why should I represent the imperial court? I'm a scholar representing Fushe and the whole world to question you."

"Okay, the answer is very good, and then there is the third question. You represent the scholars in the world, so I really want to ask. I am the second place in the Huiyuan Examination and the Palace Examination. I can barely be regarded as a scholar. I think I am Jiangning County. , There are also many scholars, including Sun Chuanting, a thousand households in Jiangningying, Jinshi during the Tianqi period, they don't seem to have told me that you can represent the scholars of the world, why do you represent the scholars of the world."

"Su Tiancheng, if you say that evil, you are not worthy of the title of scholar."

"Zhang Pu, don't get too excited. Be careful with what you say. I reminded you earlier that I am an official and you are a citizen. You must be self-aware."

Zhang Pu's face turned blue, and his body trembled slightly.

"Let's talk about Fushe again. May I ask, what exactly does Fushe do?"

This question made Zhang Pu furious and couldn't bear it anymore.

"Su Tiancheng, although you are the second place in the palace examination, you don't know what Fushe does. Isn't it ridiculous? Fushe was established by a collection of literary societies from all over the world. It writes books, spreads culture, and shouts for the people of the world. "

Su Tiancheng's face.A sneer finally surfaced, Wu Weiye on the side.He also found that something was wrong, but at this time, he couldn't speak.

"It seems that Fushe is a place to write books and talk about it. I'm surprised. Fushe is a good thing to learn. Don't speak in a tone that seems to be interfering in government affairs. You say that Fushe is shouting for the people of the world. This makes me even more terrified, even if I, the sixth-rank magistrate of Gyeonggi, dare not say that I represent court officials when I speak, even Mr. Wu, who is a patrol censor, may not dare to say that he represents court officials , A mere Fushe. Dare to say that scholars represent the world, not to mention whether this is arrogant words. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all scholars, and Fushe can represent them. Then I have to ask. Fushe What exactly does it do, what exactly does Fushe mean.”

Inside the private room, it was very quiet, Wu Weiye's face turned pale, what Zhang Pu said just now.There is indeed a problem, and it may be that the excitement is too much.It may also be that Fushe is considered too high.

"Brother Su, today we are mainly discussing things, don't get angry, the meaning of my teacher just now is not like this, please don't worry about it, Brother Su, just discuss the matter."

Wu Weiye opened his mouth, and Huang Daozhou and Qian Qianyi also followed suit, meaning the same thing, saying that today is mainly to discuss related matters, and it is not appropriate to go to war, and there will inevitably be mistakes in what they say.

Zhang Pu's face also turned pale, knowing what he said, he didn't say it well, it was a little too arrogant.

"Don't worry, everyone, I won't do things that are punishable by words. What I said just now is to remind some people, including some social organizations, to think more about what they say and do, and don't get carried away. If you take yourself too seriously, it will be very miserable after you fall."

"Now I'm going to get to the point."

"The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. I don't want to explain the meaning of this sentence. You are all scholars, and you understand the meaning. What I want to say is that many scholars in my Ming Dynasty have forgotten this. The reason is that they think they are saints, they think they have high knowledge, and they can point out the country and inspire words. In their eyes, ordinary people and peasants are ignorant and do not understand anything. Without them, the common people and peasants will live. I can't go down."

"The emperor respects scholars because of their self-discipline and self-improvement. For the sake of the family and the world, they don't care about their own treatment, don't care about their own gains and losses. They are dedicated to the public and the people. For the development of my Ming Dynasty, they are willing to abandon everything."

"It's a pity that once some scholars change their identities, their ideas will also change. They have different identities and should enjoy the favor. As for the things they made contributions, don't be specific."

"Mr. Zhang Pu said it very well. What scholars need to consider is the important affairs of the family and the country. They take the rise and fall of the world as their own responsibility. The awe-inspiring righteousness is filled between the heaven and the earth. As for the trivial and specific things, you don't need to trouble the scholars."

"For example, the payment of taxes is of course done by the peasants. What do scholars do? Supervise and require farmers to pay taxes, because scholars have to think about big things, the things of the family, the country, the world, and so on. How can we talk about the trivial matter of taxation after such hard work and exhaustion?"

"What's more, scholars don't need to do specific things when they think about the big things of their family, country, and world, but they still have to do things like eating, drinking, and other enjoyable things, but they can't get money by just talking about it with their mouths. What should I do? Well, since scholars have done great things, of course ordinary people and farmers must support them, and the taxes paid by ordinary people and farmers must support scholars.”

"Students are lofty, and they can do bigger things, such as forming an association and discussing knowledge together. This is a good thing, but I am surprised. The purpose of forming an association is to explore knowledge, write books and talk, and do what you should do However, why are you blatantly interfering in the government affairs, and still using the banner of a scholar, euphemistically speaking for the people of the world."

"Since you have such a purpose, why not tear off the veil of camouflage and reveal your own face? The purpose of forming an association is to show off your ambitions and interfere in the government. Why bother to set up a memorial archway and be a bitch? things."

Both Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi's faces turned livid. What Su Tiancheng said had a very clear meaning, directly pointing to Donglin Academy and Fushe.

"I respect ordinary people and farmers, because I know that civil and military officials rely on them to support them. Without their hard work, what we eat and wear, some so-called scholars can't carry it on their shoulders or back. With the knowledge of two or two, it is remarkable, look down on ordinary people and peasants, denounce them as blind people, sadly, there are still many people who agree with this kind of understanding."

"Let's talk about the wealthy gentry, enjoying the favor of the imperial court, but the imperial court encountered difficulties, what are they doing, the famine that has lasted for several years, don't they know, what is the reason for the disturbance of the northern bandits, it is because of many Farmers, who have no food to eat, are about to starve to death. They rebelled in order to have food to eat. At this time, what are the gentry and wealthy households doing? , that thing was done wrong, talking about being cautious and independent, talking about being gentle, taking pride in criticizing others' flaws, and gaining the so-called reputation of Qingliu. I blush for these so-called gentry and wealthy households. "

"When you open your mouth, you mean the family, the country, and the world, and when you shut your mouth, you take the rise and fall of the world as your own responsibility. When talking about specific matters, you say that it is the matter of the government, the magistrate, the state, and the county. Accusing people who do specific things, such a shameless scholar, what face does he have to live in the world."

"That's right. I'm asking the wealthy gentry in Jiangning County to make due contributions. Since they have enjoyed a lot of favors, they should also consider it for the government and make real contributions. My standards are very high. It's simple, talking empty words doesn't work for me. To put it bluntly, I don't necessarily like you when discussing academic matters. I need you to contribute money. You're just talking about hype, no money, what's the matter with the government Can't do it well."

After saying so much in one breath, a smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face again, and he picked up the wine glass.

"Zhang Pu, Mr. Huang, Mr. Qian, I have said everything that should be said. As for how to understand what I said, that is another matter. There is a sentence I said earlier, whether it is Fushe, or something else Society, if you want to discuss learning, I welcome it, and I will support you as much as you can, if you want to interfere in the government and point fingers, don't blame me for being rude."

"After drinking this glass of wine, I will leave. There are many things in the county government. I don't have time to chat here. Mr. Wu patrolling Nanzhili is also for assessing me. If I don't do well, the court will naturally ask Don't bother Mr. Zhang Pu to worry about those who commit crimes."

After drinking the glass of wine in one breath, Su Tiancheng stood up, and after applauding everyone, he turned and left.

Qu Qingze and Wang Dazhi also stood up and left.

Wu Weiye came out with him, and it was like sending off Su Tiancheng and others.

Zhang Pu, with an ashen complexion, took a long time to speak.

"This Su Tiancheng, what kind of system is he? He thinks that he is the magistrate of Jiangning County, and he thinks that he is an official of the court. He is amazing. If I want to impeach him, I must impeach him."

"Mr. Zhang Pu, it's better to calm down and think about what Mr. Su said. If there is evil, don't say too much."

Zhang Pu looked at Huang Daozhou in surprise, wondering why Huang Daozhou said such words, judging from the meaning, Huang Daozhou seemed to support Su Tiancheng a little bit.

This was something he could not tolerate. The face of the scholars could not be damaged, and the interests of the gentry and rich households must be safeguarded. Otherwise, some things advocated by the Fushe and the Donglin Party would be untenable.

It's a pity that Zhang Pu couldn't predict the development of the form. Zhou Yanru, who appreciated him, had already resigned from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, because he was the leader of Fushe, and because of Zhou Yanru's appreciation, he was very arrogant when he was in the Imperial Academy Yes, it has long caused dissatisfaction among many officials, and the newly appointed Wen Tiren is one of them, who hates him very much.

It won't take long for him to know what it's like to be squeezed out and suppressed everywhere. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
