Wu Ge Lao's residence is on Taipusi Street, just to the north of Li Ge Lao Hutong. It can only be walked for more than half a mile. Zhang Yuan had no choice but to follow his teacher Yang Lian and walked quickly. He wanted to say in his heart: "Teacher Yang, The sky won¡¯t fall all at once, don¡¯t be in such a hurry, take your time.¡±
But I heard Yang Lian say: "In the DPRK, traitors are now in charge, and good people are empty. You have just returned to Beijing, and you don't know how dangerous the situation is."
Zhang Yuandao: "I've heard about it."
Yang Lian sighed: "Meson, you can't avoid the party disputes in the imperial court. How can you try to have both sides? Now that all the gentlemen of Donglin have been deposed, the traitors have to deal with you and Hanshe."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Students going to Korea as ambassadors are by no means avoiding disaster, and how can Hanshe students compare with the sages of Donglin? Except for a few of Hanshe who have become officials, most of them are still studying eight-part essays to cope with the imperial examination. The Three Parties To deal with our Hanshe is like hitting ants with a sledgehammer."
Yang Lian took a long stride and turned his head and said: "Fang Shoufu doesn't think so. His son Fang Hongjian was forced to resign from the position of Shangbao Sicheng because of you. This makes Fang Shoufu face very ugly, and there is Yao Zongwen's instigation. , and Fang Shoufu is not a very magnanimous person. He received a memorial from the governor of Liaodong a few days ago. It is said that Fang Shoufu was overjoyed."
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Has Governor Li's memorial been delivered? It would be great if the Liaodong border could be reorganized with such speed."
Yang Lian said: "Mr. Wu Ge was very worried after reading the memorial, so I am anxious for you to visit Mr. Wu Ge and discuss countermeasures. We cannot let the traitorous party wipe out all of us. Ding Si has already investigated the results in Beijing. Wu Ge said: The elder Ge was disheartened and wanted to resign and return to his hometown. He supported me in isolation. Alas. Jiezi, why did you let them catch you? The crime of inciting vassal states to rebel is really not a small crime. "
Zhang Yuandao: "When I see Mr. Wu Ge, I will allow the students to give their detailed report."
Laifu, Wang Dachui, Sheba and Ma Kuoqi followed Zhang Yuan, accompanied by Yang Lian's servant. When they reached the east end of Taipusi Street, a cool sedan slowly came up against the sunset, and the people in the sedan came towards them. Yang Lian cupped his hands and said, "Is Yang going to see Mr. Wu Ge again to do something?" He motioned to the sedan to stop.
The person coming was backlit, Zhang Yuan squinted his eyes and couldn't see who it was for a moment. When he heard this man talking, he realized that it was Yao Zongwen. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Yao, you are well." Social etiquette cannot be abolished. This is another thing from being pushed into the river.
Yao Zongwen deliberately ignored Zhang Yuan and didn't think Zhang Yuan would greet him. When he saw Zhang Yuan saluting him, he turned his head and ignored Zhang Yuan, indicating humiliation, and glanced at Zhang Yuan coldly. Zhang Yuan didn't look ashamed.
Yang Lian said: "Master Yao has met Yushi Han, who does he want to impeach?"
Yao Zongwenyi said sternly: "I am an official. I should rebuke and investigate the successes and failures of the government and the virtuous officials. Otherwise, it will be harmful to the world."
Zhang Yuan immediately sarcastically said: "With Master Yao's character, he dares to say such things. He must have drunk too much Yuhe sewage and lost his mind and started talking nonsense. Do you really think that people in the world are easy to bully?"
Yao Zongwen just saw Zhang Yuan salute him and thought that Zhang Yuan was wary of him after knowing the results of the Beijing inspection. He never expected that Zhang Yuan would mention to his face the incident of pushing him into the river last year. Blood suddenly rushed to his forehead and he was trembling with anger. , could no longer pretend not to see Zhang Yuan, pointed at Zhang Yuan and said: "You, you, you are so presumptuous!"
Zhang Yuan said slowly and calmly: "Master Yao jumped up and down during this Beijing inspection, slandering Zhongliang and sparing no effort. Have you ever used this to get promoted? Harming others without benefiting yourself. Is this what Master Yao calls an inspection?"
Yao Zongwen was expected to be promoted to the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu during this capital inspection, but Zhang Wenda, the imperial censor of the right capital, had a very bad opinion of Yao Zongwen and refused to allow it. In the end, the etiquette department of the Qi Party was ruined. Zhou Yongchun was promoted to the imperial censor of Zuoqiandu. Yao Zongwen was very frustrated and hated Zhang Yuan even more. The reason why Zhang Wenda had a bad impression of him was precisely because he fell into the Yuhe River last year. At that time, he said that Zhang Yuan pushed him into the water. , Zhang Wenda didn't believe it, thinking he was slandering, and most of the people in Beijing thought it was him, Yao Zongwen, who falsely accused Zhang Yuan. This is really a strange injustice through the ages!
Lige Old Hutong and Taipu Street are all official residences. Arguing in the street is unworthy of dignity. Yang Lian tugged at Zhang Yuan's sleeve and said, "Jiezi, let's go. It's useless to gossip." He bowed slightly to Yao Zongwen, who was shaking with anger. He strode past the sedan chair.
Arriving in front of Wu Daonan's small courtyard, Yang Lian looked back and saw that Yao Zongwen's sedan was still parked at the street corner. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Jiezi, you made Yao very angry because of this." He shook his head and said, "You are really Young people are so angry, why should they be so quick-tongued? This is just like scolding each other in the street, which is unbecoming of an official and a gentleman."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Since the grievances are difficult to resolve, just anger him. When you are angry, your words and deeds will be wrong."
The wooden door creaked, and an old servant of Wu Daonan came out and welcomed Yang Lian and Zhang Yuan in. Laifu and several servants were waiting in front of the door.
Yao Zongwen on the street over there was gnashing his teeth for a long timeThe genius regained his composure and ordered the bearer: "Go to the old mansion of Fangge, Yongfang, Dashi."
¡¡
Wu Daonan was as skinny as a stick but in good spirits. He was quite happy to see Zhang Yuan. After a few words of greeting, he said: "Jiezi, please tell me the whole story of your trip to North Korea in detail."
Zhang Yuan immediately told the secret meeting between Nalan Bakshi and Lord Guanghai, Lord Lingyang's efforts to bring things back to order, and the attack on Phoenix Mountain. After hearing this, Wu Daonan nodded slowly: "Meson acted very righteously and considered everything carefully. Concubine Renmu¡¯s memorial and the capture of the slave chief¡¯s envoy are conclusive, and it will not be easy for Yao Zongwen and others to impeach you on this matter.¡±
Yang Liandao: "The memorial of Governor Li of Liaodong is not good for Zhang Yuan, and the scholars of Yao Zong will take this to cause great trouble."
Wu Daonan picked up a copy of Li Weihan's memorial from the desk and handed it to Zhang Yuandao: "Look, this is Governor Li's memorial. It was submitted to the Supervisor of Ceremonies yesterday."
Zhang Yuan took the memorial and saw it said:
"Li Weihan, the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was ordered to patrol Liaodong, would like to report: It seems that the abolition of the establishment has never happened in two hundred years. Once it was heard, wouldn't you be shocked! The king of Korea, Li Hui, has seized the title of a foreign vassal. In the tenth year, Lord Lingyang became a member of the clan, and he became a minister of the country. Since the monarch and his ministers have a definite distinction, how can the crown and shoes be turned upside down? Even if Huiguo is immoral, it is better to listen to the imperial concubine's performance and wait for China to replace it. Xi When he uses his ministers to usurp the king and his nephews to dethrone his uncles, Li Jie's heart is not only without Hui, but also without China. He should be punished for his crimes. In order to strengthen Wang Gang."
See here. No matter how well-mannered Zhang Yuan was, he was a little angry and said: "Governor Li actually said that he would raise troops to conquer North Korea. It's really funny. Last year, Nurhaci established a country and proclaimed himself Khan and killed Han people. Governor Li was not so angry. North Korea just changed a king. No, Li Zhu is in charge of state affairs for the time being. While he was still petitioning the Ming Dynasty for canonization, Governor Li said that he would be punished for his crimes. Isn¡¯t this bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? "
Wu Daonan said: "Governor Li doesn't really want to conquer North Korea. He wants to make the situation serious in order to impeach you."
Yang Lian asked: "Jie Zi, you and Governor Li had no quarrel in the past, right? Why did you go to Liaodong and make Governor Li so dissatisfied with you?"
Zhang Yuan read Li Weihan's memorial very quickly and said: "Nurhachi's adopted son Hu'erhan disguised himself as a horse thief and sneaked into the Liaodong border wall and attacked the mission at Fenghuang Mountain. He was attacked by the Lianshanguan musketeers and the accompanying Jinyi guards. We retreated, and Hu'er Khan was killed. Governor Li did not blame himself for the lax border preparations, but blamed me for being meddlesome, thinking that it was my capture of Nalan Baksh in North Korea that led to Hu'er Khan's attack. Now that Hu'er Khan is dead again, Li The governor was afraid that the slave chiefs would invade the border in large numbers and it would be difficult to resist, so he wanted to put the blame on me. Hu Erhan disguised himself as a horse thief and came to rob. He didn't know that Nalan Bakshi was in my hands, and the thieves robbed me at Kuiyangwei. A Shandong caravan has clear evidence, and even if Huerhan came against me, should I just tie up my hands to calm the anger of the slave chief, so as to ensure the peace of Liaodong? The slave chief has long been called Khan. The Ming Dynasty has not surrendered to me. Natural disasters have been severe in Jianzhou since last year. Small groups of Jianzhou thieves have frequently entered the country and robbed the people of Liaodong. Governor Li is unable to defend the enemy and protect the safety of the people, but he attacks me to shirk responsibility. How shameless!"
Wu Daonan sighed: "These officials only care about their own wealth and have no regard for the safety of the country."
Zhang Yuan added: "Governor Li said in his memorial, 'Even if Huiguo is immoral, it is better to listen to the imperial concubine's performance until China changes its rules.' This is even more ridiculous. Imperial Concubine Inmok was imprisoned in the cold palace by Lord Gwanghae, and was separated from herself." How can he report to the Ming Dynasty when his daughters are not allowed to see each other? Governor Li is shirking his responsibility and criticizing Gwanghae for killing his brothers, imprisoning his mother and concubine, secretly having a secret relationship with a slave chief, and having double-minded intentions. Why doesn't Governor Li report to the court? Wen, don¡¯t you warn Lord Gwanghae?¡±
Yang Lian said: "Li Weihan is stupid and incompetent. Such unreasonable attacks are not worth worrying about. But when the traitorous party is collecting so-called dirt on Jie Zi and Hanshe everywhere, Yao Zongwen and others will definitely hold on to Jie Zi."
Zhang Yuan said to Wu Daonan: "The student has a detailed diary for this mission. I will give it to the teacher tomorrow for a look. The teacher must not be discouraged. Things must turn against each other at the extreme, and they must decline at the extreme. The days when the three parties control the government will not last long."
Yang Lian also said: "Yes, if there is no Mr. Wu Ge in the cabinet, the traitors will no longer have any scruples, and the small group will be in power, and the country will be in danger."
When dusk fell, Yang Lian and Zhang Yuan left Wu Daonan's apartment. Yang Lian was much calmer at this time and said: "I was very anxious when Li Weihan impeached you the day before yesterday. But after seeing you today, I don't feel anxious anymore. You seem to have already In anticipation of today's situation, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Zhang Yuandao: "Most of the government officials are controlled by the three parties. They hold the power of admonishment. I don't have any good ideas. What I have to do now is to prevent the Qing Dynasty from being extinguished. I want to make my voice heard."
Yang Lian stiffened his neck and said solemnly: "As long as Yang Lian is in Liu Ke Gallery, he will fight to the end against the traitors."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Gain the support of these officials. "
After Ding Si's imperial inspection, the Three Parties deposed Donglin, but there were hundreds of officials in the capital, and only a few dozen people who really belonged to the Three Parties. Most of the officials in the capital were neither Donglin nor the Three Parties. Of course, these officials did not serve as Important position
Yang Lian said: "Most of those officials are just outsiders. Now that the traitorous party is in control, how can those officials be willing to speak up for us?"
Teacher Yang is too stubborn and not good at uniting people. Zhang Yuan changed the topic and asked: "Teacher Yang, where does Yao Zongwen think he is now?"
Yang Lian laughed and said, "I must have gone to the old mansion of Fangge in Yongfang to accuse you."
¡¡
When Yao Zongwen came to Fang Congzhe's house, Shao Fuzhong, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, reported to Fang Congzhe about Zhang Yuan's envoy and North Korea's request for envoy. Yao Zongwen couldn't say that he was humiliated by Zhang Yuan in the street, but he just said: "Mr. Fang Ge, I will see you at the official level." Yang Lian and Zhang Yuan went to Wu Gechen's apartment during the household affairs, and I don't know what they were plotting?"
Fang Congzhe twisted his beard and smiled, and said sarcastically: "Zhang Yuan went to see Wu Huifu before he even returned home. He is really working hard for the country, Mr. Shao. Please finish reading the memorial to the Korean envoy."
Shao Fuzhong unfolded the memorial he copied from the North Korean envoy and continued to read: "Since Guanghai has been established, he listens to the slanderers, creates resentment among himself, hates his mother, seclusion in the palace, and prepares for killing and humiliation. He kills his brothers and slaughters his nephews. , The Yilun people were exterminated, and there was no human reason. Inside, they were desolate and lustful; outside, they camped in palaces for more than ten years. Moreover, they had double-minded intentions, lost money to the slave chiefs, betrayed their gratitude, and showed no fear of destiny; He also expelled the elders, kept friends with the younger ones, imposed heavy punishments, and made the people groan. The gods and men were angry, and the clan was about to fall. At that time, people like Li Gui and Li Shi showed respect to the king's old ministers, but they could not bear the worry of the country's peril. , worked hard with loyalty and indignation, and vowed to quell the internal difficulties. In the fifth month of Dingsi in Wanli, he gathered a charity team, gathered the court officials, and went to the other palace to tell the concubine of Renmu to abolish Hui and welcome the king of Zhaojing, Sun Lingyang. With the order of the king and concubine, he has the authority to handle state affairs. He sends envoys to ask for orders from the heaven, asks the emperor to gain insight into the affairs of the country, and gives the emperor a graceful seal so that Lingyang Junzong can serve as a national sacrifice"
After Shao Fuzhong finished reading, Fang Congzhe nodded and said to Yao Zongwen: "Zhang Yuan's participation in the subversion was not mentioned in the memorial of Concubine Renmu of North Korea and the envoy. Anyway, Zhang Yuan was aloof and stayed out of the matter. What does Yao Guishi think of this matter? ?¡±
Yao Zongwen said: "This is naturally due to Zhang Yuan's instructions, and it shows his guilty conscience. Otherwise, Zhang Yuan was in Seoul when Lord Lingyang made trouble, so there would be no reason to stay out of it!"
Fang Congzhe said: "Although this is true, the imperial concubine of the Joseon Dynasty and the envoy made it clear that this was a crisis within the Joseon Dynasty. Zhang Yuan just failed to complete the mission of canonization, and he also brought back Nurhaci's men who were known as Jian Nalan Bakshi, the treasure of the state, commanded Ruoding outside Lianshan Pass and killed Hu Erhan, one of the five ministers who established the state. It is rare to hear that he can also achieve military exploits while on an envoy mission."
Shao Fuzhong remained silent, while Yao Zongwen sneered repeatedly. He heard the teasing meaning in Fang Congzhe's words and said: "Zhang Yuan refused to keep his peace wherever he went. When he was a child, he dared to encourage the Huating scholars to besiege Dong Hanlin, causing Dong Hanlin's family to be destroyed. After winning the first prize, he became even more arrogant, and everything he did was seen by Mr. Fangge."
Fang Congzhe snorted softly. Yao Zongwen knew that Fang Congzhe did not want to mention his son Fang Hongjian, so he said: "Zhang Yuan went to Korea as an envoy and dared to add fuel to the flames and commit rebellion. This kind of behavior has no father and no king." If you don¡¯t punish them severely, how can you educate the world¡¯s scholars?¡±
Fang Congzhe did not comment, but said to Shao Fuzhong: "The matter of canonizing Lord Lingyang will be postponed. It will not be too late to find out more clearly before making a decision. You can tell He Shilang that this is my suggestion."
Shao Fuzhong said: "Yes."
Fang Congzhe then said to Yao Zongwen: "Let people learn more about the real situation from the officials who were sent to North Korea as envoys, and don't impeach others rashly."
Since Fang Congzhe said this, he was determined to deal with Zhang Yuan. Yao Zongwen was secretly happy. At this time, he suddenly thought of a person named Ruan Dacheng. Although this person was a member of the Han Society, he was very respectful to him when they met on the road, as if he meant to flatter him. Ruan Dacheng is The deputy envoy to North Korea this time must know Zhang Yuan's secret. If he can win over Ruan Dacheng, he will definitely give Zhang Yuan a fatal blow. (To be continued)
