Ming politicians

Fan Jingwen's expression soon became serious again.

Su Tiancheng was a little strange. Is there anything else? Normally, the conditions he mentioned are not a big deal. Fan Jingwen has already made his statement, and Zhang Taining also nodded. Those in charge of the county government did not ask the court to pay money, so they couldn't ask themselves to maintain the stability of the two battalions.

Fan Jingwen looked at Zhang Taining and spoke again.

"Master Su, you should still have an impression of Zhang Pu's debate with you."

"My lord, Zhang Pu and Xiaguan are classmates, and there are some disputes between them, which is nothing unusual."

"Hehe, I don't think so."

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

"The Zhongxing Academy, which will be established soon, I think is the best counterattack. This method is very good. The establishment of the academy will gather scholars from all over the world to the maximum extent. Many things can be spread to the greatest extent through the academy. Go out, but you are thinking of a way, and Zhang Pu is not idle, he must have taken action."

Su Tiancheng's expression also became serious.

When he was in the capital, this was what he thought about the most. After all, Zhang Pu was the leader of the Fushe, and he had a lot of influence among the scholars. Moreover, the power of the Fushe was intricate, and he had thousands of connections with many officials of the imperial court. Inextricably linked.

Fortunately, I am an official of the imperial court, and all my actions have been strongly supported by Fan Jingwen. Therefore, in the Nanzhili area, Zhang Pu and Fushe did not dare to act rashly.

"Your Excellency, the topic of debate between Xiaguan and Zhang Pu is mainly related to government affairs. Xiaguan once clearly stated that Zhang Pu is not an official of the court and can discuss government affairs. But he must not interfere with government affairs, including Donglin Academy and Fufu. Society, and absolutely cannot openly intervene in the affairs of the government just because they have won the support of scholars."

"I know what you said, but it's a pity that Zhang Pu didn't think like you, General Zhang, you should talk about it first."

Su Tiancheng's heart.He thumped again, why did Zhang Taining speak first.

It turned out that he thought that Zhang Pu might organize the members of the Fushe to create public opinion in Nanzhili and even the Ming Dynasty to oppose the infringement of the interests of the gentry and wealthy households. Do.This is also able to resonate with scholars, gentry and wealthy households.It will be strongly supported.

However, after returning to Jiangning County, no action in this regard was found, and there was even no sign of holding the expected third meeting of the rehabilitated society.He estimated that Zhou Yanru's resignation still had a certain influence on Zhang Pu.Wen Tiren's impression of Zhang Pu was very bad, maybe he had already taken some form to inform Zhang Pu, which made Zhang Pu panic, and it was normal if he didn't act.

Unexpectedly, things are not that simple.Zhang Pu still made moves.

When Zhang Taining spoke, did Zhang Pu extend his hand to the two camps?

Thinking of Fan Jingwen asking Jiangning County to support the two battalions, Su Tiancheng shuddered, maybe Zhang Pu was insane and dared to do something outrageous.

"Lord Su, Zhang Pu found me and specifically talked about the Jiangning Camp and the two major camps. It was reasonable for the Lord to ask Jiangning County to give some necessary assistance to the two major camps. Zhang Pu believes that the two major camps and Jiangning There is a big gap in the salaries of the soldiers of the battalion, which is inappropriate and will seriously affect the morale of the soldiers of the two battalions, and even affect the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Guards."

Su Tiancheng's face started to turn pale, Zhang Pu probably went crazy.

"Zhang Pu mentioned two solutions. One is that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion cannot get so much military pay, and must be the same as the soldiers of the two battalions. The second is that Mr. Su is to blame, and the court must severely punish him. Including Mr. Fan, as the commander of the Jiangning Battalion, they are all responsible."

Su Tiancheng looked at Fan Jingwen, who had a sneer on his face.

"Zhang Pu suggested that I impeach the Jiangning camp. Of course I reprimanded Zhang Pu. When I reported this matter to my lord, my suggestion was to take measures. Zhang Pu had such an idea, which obviously disturbed the morale of the army. The sergeants in the station have already mutinied because of the military pay, and Zhang Pu's move obviously shakes the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Taining got a little excited when he said that, and his face turned red.

Just after Zhang Taining finished speaking, Fan Jingwen spoke.

"I used to have a good impression of Zhang Pu. In the first year of his life, he was able to organize a huge Fushe, and there were many scholars under his sect. Even Wu Weiye, the palace test flower, came from his sect. It is enough to prove that he has a lot of knowledge. Ability, but Zhang Pu openly found General Zhang and said such a rebellious thing, which surprised me and made me more angry. As a scholar, Zhang Pu should know the general trend of the world, and he should Knowing the actual situation of the guards and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, for their own self-interest and some theoretical disputes, they dared to disregard their family, country and the world. What kind of situation is it, isn't it a disaster for the world?"

Su Tiancheng's face was already gloomy. Zhang Pu's actions were completely beyond his expectations. Looking back, it is not particularly unusual for such a situation to occur. The faction in the court is in full swing. If these courts Officials, if they can think of the court as the most important thing, they will not drag the Ming Dynasty into a bottomless abyss.

"Master Su, Zhang Pu and you are classmates. I want to hear what you think."

"My lord, the views of the lower officials and General Zhang are the same."

"Oh, why do you look at it like that?"

"Your Excellency, Xiaguan and Zhang Pu are classmates. They participated in the general examination and palace examination together. There are some disputes about the government. Everything should be based on one's own bottom line. If in order to achieve the goal, the basic principles are lost, or even the court is ignored, it will be very scary. Zhang Pu found General Zhang and said such words, It shows that he is already in a daze."

"As the leader of Fushe, Zhang Pu has a lot of appeal. I have debated with him and found that he is extremely conceited and doesn't care about other people's opinions. The influence of Fushe is not small. It is precisely because of this , contributed to Zhang Pu's arrogance, if Zhang Pu wanted to provoke the sergeants of the two battalions, he would definitely do so."

"The stability of the two camps is the most important thing, including the stability of the sergeants of the Nanzhili Guards. If there is a problem, it is not just as simple as the court shaking. The rogues have slowly moved towards the south. At this time, the South If the soldiers in Zhili waver, it will be an opportunity for the bandits to take advantage of, and if the bandits enter the south, there will be dire consequences."

"The lower official thought that other matters could be debated with Zhang Pu, or even confronted. The lower official suggested the establishment of the Zhongxing Academy in order to defeat the Fushe from the front. But Zhang Pu has such an idea, and he must not be lenient. It is not something that can be debated, I believe Zhang Pu himself should understand the consequences of doing so, since he no longer cares about the stability of the country, there is no need for the government to be polite."

Fan Jingwen's eyebrows twitched.

"Master Su, tell me how to deal with Zhang Pu."

"Zhang Pu is a concubine of the Hanlin Academy. He is still a registered student. Because of his father's death, he kept the system at home. He was dismissed as an official. Zhang Pu was escorted to the capital and reported to the imperial court for disposal by the imperial court."

"But have you ever thought about it, Zhang Pu is the leader of Fushe, and this move will definitely cause great disturbances."

"The lower officials think that it will definitely cause waves, but compared with shaking the morale of the army, escorting Zhang Pu to the capital is the best way to deal with it. If Zhang Pu is really allowed to move around, he will even encourage the soldiers of the two battalions to protest. , At that time, it will be too late to deal with it again."

Fan Jingwen didn't speak for the time being, Zhang Taining was about to speak, but saw that Fan Jingwen didn't speak, nor did he speak.

Su Tiancheng knew that Fan Jingwen had concerns, after all Zhang Pu's influence was too great.

"My lord, I think that this matter cannot be delayed. Zhang Pu found General Zhang and was reprimanded. He will not give up. The two battalions may have taken the necessary precautions, but there are still so many in Nanzhili. There are many guards, if Zhang Pu shifts his target and goes to other guards to agitate, the consequences will be more serious."

Hearing what Su Tiancheng said, Fan Jingwen lost his composure.

"Master Su, why do you say that Zhang Pu will go to other guards to agitate?"

"This is the intuition of the lower officials. Besides, the lower officials think that they are not afraid of [-] yuan, but just in case. If Zhang Pu goes to other guards to agitate and cause unmanageable consequences, it will be too late."

Fan Jingwen stood up and took a few quick steps.

"General Zhang, order the sergeants to arrest Zhang Pu directly."

Zhang Taining was a little hesitant. The matter of apprehending people should be a matter of Wucheng soldiers and horses. It seems that it is not easy for the two battalions to come forward. After all, the army cannot interfere with local affairs.

Seeing Zhang Taining's hesitation, Su Tiancheng spoke knowingly.

"General Zhang, your Excellency thinks that this matter is very important and involves the military camp. Therefore, he asked the two battalions to arrest Zhang Pu. This matter is not a local matter."

Zhang Taining suddenly realized.

After Zhang Taining left, Fan Jingwen looked at Su Tiancheng and spoke, but his voice seemed a little old.

"Lord Su, I hope there are no twists and turns. There are many things in the imperial court, and you know that Donglin Academy and Fushe have a lot of influence. The establishment of Zhongxing Academy is the best way. What do you think? , put it on the table to argue, and speak with facts, thinking very comprehensively."

"You are really good. You are not attached to Donglin Academy and Fushe, and dare to fight against it. If scholars in the world can take the revitalization of the imperial court as their own responsibility, the imperial court will not face so many problems."
