That's where the difference between people comes in.

When ordinary people look at this "Fengyue Mechanism Diagram", they must be thinking wildly, and the more they think about it, the deeper they think about it, and then they are addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.

Lao Xiangguo looked at this "Fengyue Organ Diagram", but he really admired Tang Bohu's painting skills, but he didn't want to do anything about the way of men and women.

This is the realm.

Speaking of which, there is also a story in this "Fengyue Organ Map", this painting was not bought by Lao Xiangguo himself, but given by his protégé disciple Yushi Qian Menggao.

In the 33rd year of Wanli, the cabinet had a conflict over who should be in charge of Jingcha.

The parties to the conflict are Lao Xiangguo and the second assistant Shen Li.

Shen Li knew that Xiao was Lao Xiangguo's private person, so he resolutely opposed it, saying that there was no such precedent for the ancestral system, and all the Beijing inspections were led by the Ministry of Officials, and the Inspectorate and the Cabinet worked together.

Lao Xiangguo is very clear about this, and the officials Yang Shiqiao and Du Yu Shi Wenchun proposed by Shen Li to preside over this Beijing inspection are not their own party, but the Donglin faction.

Yang Shiqiao is okay, he is still impartial, but that Wen Chun has always been hostile to Lao Xiangguo, and he once openly defended Shen Li and Guo Zhengyu in the "Demon Book Case", and blatantly opposed Lao Xiangguo, but this Wen Chun was very favored by His Majesty, so Lao Xiangguo couldn't help him.

Because the chief planner of the Jingcha has always been the mastermind of the ministry, the old Xiangguo could not forcibly push Xiao Daheng, but he was conceited and could not tolerate things that went against him in the Jingcha, so he made the worst plan, and in case of any situation that hurt the comrades of the party, he would deal with it categorically, and if necessary, detain the results of the Jingcha and not report it.

And at the beginning of Jingcha, Lao Xiangguo asked his cronies and protégés and the criminal department to re-mention the old matter of Qian Menggao in the matter, re-discuss the matter of the king of Chu's attack on the seal, and falsely accused Guo Zhengyu of "framing relatives without telling the truth", and demanded that Guo's official status be cut.

Guo Zhengyu is not only a member of the Donglin Party, but also a teacher of the prince, and the chief planners Yang Shiqiao and Wen Chun resolutely opposed, believing that Qian Menggao was a tiger and deliberately framed important ministers in the court, and decided to demote Qian and transfer him abroad.

Sure enough, at the end of Jingcha, there were three people who were rated as "impetuous" and two people in the imperial history, one person who was rated as "not careful", two people who were rated as "talented", three people in the imperial history, and three ministers who were "left behind".

Among them, there are four people including Qian Menggao, Zhong Zhaodou, and other confidants of Lao Xiangguo.

When Lao Xiangguo learned of this result, he was angry in his heart, and forcibly detained the inspection of Qian Menggao and others reported by the Ministry of Officials, which lasted for half a year, and asked the emperor to continue to stay in office for Qian Menggao.

At this time, Liu Yuanzhen, who served as Fang Shilangzhong, was also the advocate of Donglin Academy, and one of the eight monarchs of Donglin, was full of anger, and impeached Lao Xiangguo, and reprimanded him for using his power to sell his own power, deceiving the saint to suppress his subordinates, and daring to detain Chashu in the face of the world's condemnation, which has never happened in the history of Beijing in 200 years.

In Shuzhong, Liu Yuanzhen also participated in the impeachment of Qian Menggao for flattering the old minister, and put on the hat of "forming a party" for others at every turn, and emphasized that there were villains in all dynasties who destroyed the good people with the crime of forming a party.

This trick is also a common tactic used in party struggle.

After reading Liu's recital in Wuxi, Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, immediately became excited, and said to the comrades in the party at that time that this was the first article by the comrades of the party to denounce the Zhejiang party, and said: "This heaven and earth praise and education, out of my hometown, out of our party, I don't feel happy and crazy." ”

Qian Menggao relied on the support of Lao Xiangguo, and was unwilling to be impeached, and then said that Liu Yuanzhen was the gentle and pure eagle dog of the chief inspector, and his accusation against himself was completely taking the opportunity to attack the first assistant.

Wanli originally didn't believe in Guo Zhengyu's revelation of the rebellion of the King of Chu, and he had long lost his good impression of Guo, and he intended to suppress the Donglin Party, so he completely sided with Shen Zhengyi, ordered the removal of Wen Chun's officials, and demoted Liu Yuanzhen to a remote province.

Later, Liu Yuanzhen simply resigned and went to Wuxi to help Gu Xiancheng preside over Donglin Academy, a few months ago there was a civil unrest in Wuxi, Liu Yuanzhen died tragically under the mouth of the Admiral and the Minister of Wei Gong's Public Guard, and the death was extremely miserable.

Qian Menggao did not die, and in order to thank his teacher, he specially bought a spring painting painted by Tang Bohu at a high price and sent it to the Prime Minister in person.

Lao Xiangguo has always liked Tang Bohu's paintings, and it is still a spring palace, which he likes at first sight and treasures it as a treasure. As long as I have free time, I will take it out to observe.

Just as they were watching intently, the steward of the front yard hurriedly came to report, saying that there were dozens of gentry and merchants kneeling outside the mansion, begging Lao Xiangguo to make decisions for them.

"For what?"

Lao Xiangguo was very surprised, dozens of people knelt outside the house, the matter was very big, and the place was difficult to deal with, otherwise these people would not have come to him.

Knowing that the matter was important, Lao Xiangguo couldn't care about putting away the Fengyue map, so he asked the steward to take him to the front yard to see his father.

"I heard that something happened to Dinghaiwei, and their cargo ships were robbed..."

The steward hugged Lao Xiangguo and said as he walked, and when he arrived outside the door, Lao Xiangguo roughly knew what was going on. Inside the door, I saw dozens of people kneeling outside, and there were many gray-haired people inside.

"The old Xiangguo is here, the old Xiangguo is here!"

When the leader of the merchant who was kneeling saw it, he couldn't help but get up and step forward to make a support action, and the old Xiangguo accepted it calmly, and then signaled everyone to get up quickly.

But the people could not afford it, and they were gossiping.

These people are all maritime merchants in Ningbo and Wenzhou, many people's goods and ships are taken away by the navy of Eunuch Wei, and there are many people's merchant ships that cannot go to sea, and the guard station is unwilling to send troops to get back, and I heard that Lord Zhongcheng does not care about this matter, so they all come to ask the old Xiangguo to call the shots.

Shen has always listened to everyone very calmly, and when everyone finished speaking one by one, he raised his hand slightly, slowly glanced at them and said: "Please rest assured, although the old man has become a master, he will never sit back and watch his father ignore the dire situation." The old man will give you justice. ”

Seeing this, the leader knew what to do next, so he immediately led everyone to leave with a thousand thanks.

They came today, and they got their wish if they could meet the old minister.

The heavens of Zhejiang are all here.

After the crowd left, Shen Cheng walked into the door with the help of the steward, pondering all the way, and unconsciously returned to the garden.

In the pavilion, the "Fengyue Organ Map" is still quietly placed on the table, only the upper left corner is pressed with an inkstone, but it was windy just now, and the maids were afraid that the wind would blow to the ground, so they specially took it to cover.

Lao Xiangguo glanced at the Fengyue map, looked at the maids again, and couldn't help but smile. Then he turned his head to the steward and said: "What kind of admiral maritime minister, the old man has never heard of it, and the inner court has never held such a position, why is this little eunuch in Jiangnan messing around?" ”

"Who said it wasn't, it's really a strange talk, according to the villain, most of them are the people of the celebrant who mixed sand into our Jiangnan, and the internal garrison of Nandu also wants to see the jokes of Jiangnan officialdom."

The steward has followed the old minister for decades, and in terms of knowledge alone, I am afraid that it is no worse than the government of a province. The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, this is not false. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a meritorious reputation, I am afraid that this steward would have been entrusted with the blessing of the old minister and made a few officials.

"It's not that the inner court mixed sand into the south of the Yangtze River, most of it was also His Majesty's temporary, and they couldn't persuade it...... However, a little eunuch who has not dried up dares to come south to fake the tiger, is it really that there is no one in the southeast. ”

Shen's tone has always been flat, but the conceit in his words is still the same as when he was the first assistant.

The steward chuckled and said, "Gao Ju wanted to suppress this matter because of Sun Longshi, but he didn't know that he would offend the master by doing so." ”

"It's okay to offend me."

Shen Yi rubbed his beard, waved his hand, and instructed the steward: "You go and spread the words of the old man, tell them to do it boldly, and do what they want, the old man will stand up when the sky falls." ”

After finishing speaking, he said: "Go and tell Sun Long, don't worry about idle things, Hangzhou is a good place, just stay in Ansheng." ”

"Yes, sir."

The steward knew who to preach, and bowed down and retreated, but before he had gone far, a porter hurried to report that there was a guest asking to see him.

The steward asked the porter who asked to see him?

The porter only said that it was a young minister, and refused to reveal the origin, only that he would confide in the old minister when he saw him.

The steward snorted slightly: "Where did you come from, let people drive away." ”

This kind of thing is also common, his own master is the first auxiliary university scholar Zhishi, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and has influence in the dynasty and township, and some broken literati or crazy people want to fight a shortcut from their own master. It's a pity that my own master has never been waiting to see this generation, and he has already had something to say, if there is this generation, he will be driven away, and he will not disturb the purity.

"The little one didn't let him in, told him to go, but this person insisted on seeing it, and the little one was thinking..."

The porter smiled and said, he accepted the young minister's five taels of silver, but the steward said that he would not let him see him, so he couldn't blame him for collecting money and not doing anything.

The steward knew that the porter must have received the benefits of the madness, but this was an unspoken rule in the house, and there was nothing to say, so he waved his hand and asked the porter to go quickly, and he went straight to do what the master explained.

As the former Shoufu Mansion, the Shen Mansion has its own nursing home and a fast horse to communicate with all parties.

Shen has always been here, and his mood is not affected by the previous incident in the slightest, maybe in the eyes of this former first auxiliary university scholar, a little eunuch with a fox and a fake tiger is really not worth his old man's trouble.

A picture of the wind and the moon, the way of the world.

Lao Xiangguo looked at Tang Yin's genuine painting and was silent.

Every time he looks at this painting, he will have a different feeling.

I was looking at it intently, but there was a faint sound of shouting in my ears, and the maids around me also exclaimed.

Lao Xiangguo frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look in the noisy direction, but saw a young man dressed in white actually broke in surrounded by several tiger-backed men.

More than a dozen guards and servants could not stop them.

The old Xiangguo was suddenly furious, and was about to get up and reprimand the presumptuous, but after seeing the white-clothed Xianggong seeing him, he suddenly raised his hand to make a compilation, and shouted: "Puppet Lanxi, Shanyin Loujiang." Fuqing is newly built, all are infants. If you don't come out, who will compete. ”

"Admiral, Maritime Minister Wei Liangchen to meet the Four Ming Ministers!"

With Lang Lang's voice, Gonggong Wei folded a fan in one hand and a white handkerchief in the other, bent down ninety degrees, and bowed to Shen in the pavilion.
