Borrow the day to change the day

As the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty and the political, economic, and cultural center of the south, Nanjing City is undoubtedly prosperous.

At the same time, Nanjing is also a pension place for officials who have lost power. Compared with the capital, the political atmosphere is more relaxed.

In recent years, there has been no harassment by Japanese pirates, no wars, singing and dancing, and a harmonious atmosphere.

As a result, the prosperity of Nanjing is even better than that of the next day, and far surpasses other areas of Ming Dynasty.

But these days, the city of Nanjing is not the same as usual. There is no more poetry reciting and arguing by literati and poets, and no more impassioned and generous young scholars giving advice.

In the bustling streets of Nanjing, there are soldiers patrolling back and forth with guns, which makes the atmosphere of Nanjing city seem a bit desolate.

All of this was caused by the civil uprising last month, but at the beginning, the officials and gentry in Nanjing City thought that it would be the same as before. It's just for show.

Because there were a lot of people involved in the civil uprising, and secondly, the leaders who participated in the civil uprising were all freshmen with fame.There are also some assistant officials in various yamen, these are the cornerstones of the imperial court, and they are not really rebellious.And there have been similar examples to follow in the past, at most the leader is caught.

At the beginning, the development of the matter was as expected by everyone, and the troublemakers were not serious.

Later, the imperial court sent imperial envoys to Nanjing to investigate the civil uprising, and soon the evidence was conclusive, and they wanted to arrest the murderers who killed two employees of the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, those students began to gather again, blocking the imperial envoy's office aggressively.The imperial envoy was asked to release him, and the Nanjing branch of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty was sealed off.

At first, the imperial envoys didn't respond, but more and more scholars gathered, and many gangsters also began to respond.

Without any warning, the army was suddenly dispatched and all those involved in the disturbance were arrested.And he didn't stop, and arrested all the leading scholars who participated in the riots in the last civil uprising.

Zhou Yanru, a cabinet minister who happened to be still in Nanjing, came out in a rage, and those who thought the meeting would turn around were immediately surprised. The next day, Zhou Yanru set off to return to the capital, accompanied by the Dongchang fan servant.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fu, the leader of Fushe, known as "Mr. Xizhang", was also arrested and imprisoned.

All the scholars who were arrested were all dismissed. The announcement was posted not long ago.

Everyone suddenly realized that once the government got serious, the power of scholars would be nothing.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise in Nanjing, and most of the remaining scholars stayed at home and dared not go out.

But there are exceptions. In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant, there are two young scholars sitting at the table.But he didn't move his chopsticks, and was listening to an old man in the seat above.

"At the beginning, the old man stopped you, didn't let you join the Fushe, didn't let you participate in the civil uprising, was it for your own good?"

"Father, what the imperial court did is clearly deceiving Confucianism. How is it different from Qin Shihuang?" The younger man was a little unconvinced and retorted.

Hearing this, the old man frowned, and scolded: "What is Confucianism? Loyal to the emperor and patriotism, keep righteousness and evil, make it as good as it was at the time, and leave the name for future generations as Confucianism. Only carve insects, specialize in calligraphy, and write poems when you are young. With a brilliant head and poor scriptures, gathering crowds to make trouble, wounding people to death, can you be a Confucianist?"

The scholar had been scolded a lot, and his father had built up his power for many years, so he didn't dare to argue any more, and lowered his head.

On the other hand, the older scholar stood up and saluted the old man, and then asked, "Excuse me, Uncle, this happened before, why did the imperial court handle it so differently?"

Hearing his question, the old man calmed down a little, nodded and explained to the scholar: "Common typhoid fever can be divided into hot and cold. How can the events of Wanli years and today's events be generalized! "

When he said this, he looked out the window subconsciously, and then continued to talk to the scholar.At the same time, his eyes were also aimed at his son, obviously speaking for his son.

"You and my family are family friends, and you have a very good relationship with my son, so the old man said, don't spread it in your ears."

When the scholar heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Uncle, don't worry, after leaving this door, my nephew will not remember."

Hearing this, the old man's son regained his spirits and raised his head to look at his father again.

While stroking his long beard under his forehead, the old man said softly: "You should know about the three major cases during the Wanli period, right? From this incident, it can be seen that the ministers of the court and the Wanli emperor were not in harmony. The taxation violated the interests of those people, so the riots in those few times were protected by the court, and naturally they eventually disappeared."

The old man's son blinked his eyes, looked at his father, and thought about his words.

"But today is different from the past. Haven't you noticed that many things that happened in the north are unprecedented."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the older scholar nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle is right, that drama is indeed very fresh, and I have never heard of it before."

While speaking, the heroine appeared in his mind.

Hearing this, the old man almost vomited blood, luckily it wasn't his son, otherwise he would have slapped him.

He looked at his son and asked his son's answer with his eyes.

"Did you mean those research institutes? My child thinks this method is good."

The old man was speechless, and because of the presence of outsiders, it was difficult for him to have a seizure.He sighed secretly: "The things you are talking about are indeed new things, but they don't have much to do with the officialdom. What the old man is referring to is the state-owned enterprise and the Weimin Bank. The interests of the people are tied together. Of course, although the father is not in the capital, he can also benefit."

The two young scholars nodded. What the old man said was indeed new, but they were not very interested.

"The introduction this time is a policy made by the Nanjing Branch of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty. After all, who will gain and who will suffer from this matter, don't I need to say?"

The older scholar hesitated to speak, but finally did not ask any questions.And the young scholar said: "Father said that the court will benefit, that is, father will benefit, and those who open money will suffer, right?"

The old man was finally a little relieved, nodded and said: "It is precisely because of this difference that there is a difference between this civil uprising and the Wanli civil uprising."

He glanced at the two scholars, and said earnestly: "People live in the world, after all, the word is profit. Killing scholars and cheating Confucianism are all just excuses. If you don't recognize this point, you will mess in randomly. The fame gained through hard study is likely to be lost overnight."

When the two scholars heard it, they felt lingering fear, looked up out of the window, and said nothing.

After a while, the older scholar stood up and said goodbye.

The old man warned: "Pijiang, don't go out to meet those scholars again after you go back, understand?"

Mao Pijiang nodded, and said hastily: "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew will remember."

He had heard what the old man said, so naturally he would not go again.Thinking about watching a few more dramas, looking for the beauty, he heard that the beauty has a more beautiful heart, and he admired it very much.
