Jingshi, above the court, because of the Donglin Party's plan to Jingcha, the two sides are still fighting openly and secretly.

Although the Xuan Party was overthrown in Beijing due to the plot of the party leader Tang Binyin, the four parties of Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, and Kun rescued Zhao by encircling Wei, and bitten Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Donglin who was far away in Wuxi, and successfully forced the Donglin Party not to dare to bully people too much.

Although the first assistant Ye Xianggao and the heavenly official Sun Piyang tried their best to plan, the Jingcha presided over by Donglin this year is still like the previous two times, and it is in a deadlock.

Under the running call of the internal supervisor Li Yongzhen, the four parties made a covenant, as long as the Donglin Party dared to show the signs of restarting Jingcha, the four parties would attack in groups, and they would never let them divide and attack.

Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao, the elders of Donglin who secretly assisted Sun Piyang in presiding over the Jingcha, were unwilling to be ruined for many years, so they privately moved the officials of Kedao who belonged to Donglin to fight against the four parties, and kept writing books, as a result, the government became a mess. The officials in the DPRK only knew that the party was the same and the party was different, and no one had the heart to ask about the government, and in the end, the two sides were unscrupulous, so that black and white were reversed.

"Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair."

Gonggong Wei, who was about to cross the river at the Yizheng Ferry, looked at the matter in Beijing in this way.

Chen Mo in Beijing just came to the news that in this year's Shuntianfu Township Examination, Zou Zhilin, a member of the Zhejiang Party, served as the examiner of the house, and because of love, he made an exception to admit a candidate surnamed Tong as a lifter, but was attacked by the Donglin Party for fraud in the examination room. was originally just a trivial matter of pure love, but it has become a big thing to live and die.

Weng Zhengchun, a member of the Donglin Party and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wrote a letter requesting that Zou Zhilin be demoted, but Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party, said that Weng Zhengchun favored the examiner and deliberately used Zou Zhilin as a scapegoat.

Weng Zhengchun was disdainful and insisted on the initial discussion, but as a result, the four parties pointed the finger at him and dug up a lot of black materials when he was an examiner in the past.

The Donglin Party couldn't keep Weng Zhengchun, so they promoted Sun Shenxing, who was originally teaching at Donglin Academy, to serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. After Sun took office, he still wanted to attack Zou Zhilin according to Weng Zhengchun's method.

This matter is irreconcilable.

"Kyushu is angry and thunderous, and all the horses are sad. I advise the heavenly prince to be vigorous and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. ”

Gonggong Wei wrote such a poem on the dock, and after the poem was completed, he ordered someone to send it directly to Li Yongzhen. Attached to the poem is a message: "National affairs are difficult, and talents are hard to find." ”

A few days later, Sun Shenxing's recital was left by the emperor.

There was news in the palace that the Son of Heaven, who had not been in court for many years, actually asked the Zhongguan to give Zou Zhilin ten taels of silver.

Although the money is not much, the attitude is obvious.

Wei's father-in-law got a thousand taels of "poetry gift" from Zou Zhilin.

Although Gonggong Wei thought that he could get at least 5,000 taels for this poem, Zou Zhilin used his own ink treasure to resolve the crisis, so he should thank him again.

Only when the pay and the return are proportional, can Wei Gonggong continue to innovate, activate his thinking, and create better poems.

Otherwise, if there is no income from the code word, how can Gonggong Wei be able to write and think.

However, considering that Zou is also his "fox friend and dog friend", Father-in-law Wei is embarrassed to care.

For a long time, he has given himself the position of "traitorous party", which is a good person who sees unevenness and pulls out a knife to help.

Good people don't love money.

Those who do great things can't love money.

As he spoke, Grandpa Wei looked at the ships in the middle of the fleet with satisfaction.

This boat is very drafty.

Wei Guangwei returned to Nandu first, but after crossing the river here, Gonggong Wei did not go to Nandu, but to Wuxi.

He wants to meet Donglin Taijun for a while, and go to the Donglin Academy to take a look, it is best to draw a circle.

It's just that Gu Xiancheng can't see him, an internal prisoner from Beijing, and Gonggong Wei is not sure in his heart.

Wei Guangwei made a package ticket and said that everything was arranged by him.

Thinking that his father Wei Yunzhen is also one of the elders of Donglin, and he himself is also a waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and he is no longer treated by the Donglin Party, it is easy to arrange one or two people to meet the Maharaja.

Grandpa Wei didn't think much about it.

Wei Yuncheng really can't do it, and he won't blame the other party.

Because, in his opinion, when he saw Gu Xiancheng, he was not begging the other party, but giving the other party a chance.

Gu Xiancheng really refused to see him, which was the regret of the other party and the loss of the Donglin Party, and what did he have to regret with his father-in-law Wei.

Besides, if the painting of the Daojun Emperor is not given by Gu someone, there will be no one in this world.

When he reached a certain status, his father-in-law Wei said that it was true, and if it was false, it was false.

……….

"Unnecessary!"

In Nanjing City, Li Sancai, the prime minister of Xiuwu, hated Gao Panlongdao who came to greet him.

These three words exhausted the depression in his heart of cultivating my husband.

Since he was demoted, Li Sancai boasted of Yue Fei, and only scolded the court and the Chinese people for treachery and calamity to the country every day at home, blinding the saints, causing him to be wronged as a loyal minister.

After a long time, Li Sancai was bored with illness, so he simply took a boat south and came to the southern capital.

Although he is a northerner, he has spent most of his life in the south, which is undoubtedly his second hometown.

Although he was demoted to a commoner, Xiu Wuxiang's family wealth is still the huge one today. The expenses along the way have not been downgraded.

Gao Panlong was ordered by his mentor to come to the southern capital to welcome this founding veteran of the party.

"Tang Binyin, a water dog, the old man had exposed him the year before last, but he was obstructed by the traitorous party. Today, the Duke of Tateyama was expelled from the imperial court, and it really deserves to be revealed! ”

Thinking of the collapse of the Xuan Party, Li San was a little happy and drank a full cup. Putting down the wine glass, he asked Gao Panlong with concern: "How is the academy doing?" ”

"Although the traitorous party has repeatedly attacked our academy, the teacher and other gentlemen are indomitable and still maintain! … As long as I'm still a righteous person, that traitor won't want to destroy my academy! Gao Panlong looked proud.

Li Sancai nodded, he knew that although Gao Panlong said so, Donglin Academy would definitely be more deserted now than in the past.

After all, the prophet of Chunjiang plumbing duck, the unhappiness of the struggle of the Jingshi court and the emperor's preference for traitorous parties will definitely affect the Jiangnan gentry. Especially his own depreciation, it will make the Jiangnan gentry suspicious of the Donglin Party and Donglin Academy.

However, under such circumstances, the cadres of the academy were not half depressed, and this mental outlook alone doomed the traitorous party to be no opponent.

"Xiu Wugong, I recently wrote a "Friends Theory", which is only one word different from Ouyang Xiu's "Friends Theory" in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the argument is different... My teacher specially asked me to take it with me so that I could give me some advice. Gao Panlong took out an article from his sleeve.

Li Sancai, Zhao Nanxing and others have always advocated that people should be divided into groups, so forming a party is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

He browsed some of Gao's articles, and saw that he objected to Mr. Ouyang's statement that "villains have no friends", emphasizing that "villains also have friends", friends are also parties, but villains form parties with selfish interests, while gentlemen form parties with like-minded people, which is harmless and beneficial.

After reading it, Li Sancai deeply felt that this article coincided with his own thoughts, and couldn't help but praise Gao Panlong.

Gao Panlong humbled himself and said frankly: "Xiu Wugong, the teacher hopes that you will not be discouraged, and if possible, you will still be the voice of the court." ”

Although Li Sancai was demoted to a commoner, he was the former Caofu and the head of the household department, and he was able to speak and act with his former official position. But this is also what Li Sancai was surprised by, he didn't understand why his old friend asked him to do this.

Gao Panlong said: "The teacher hopes that the Duke of Xiuwu can remind His Majesty that the Zhejiang, Qichu Party has grievances and enmity with righteous people. ”

"Uncle him?"

Li Sancai was puzzled, how could his old friend entrust his disciple to say to him, as if he was going to entrust himself.

His eyebrows moved, and he asked with concern, "How is your teacher's body?" ”

Gao Panlong hesitated and said, "The teacher is in good health, and Xiuwu Gong has a heart." ”

"Yes."

Li Sancai was skeptical, but Gao Panlong refused to say more, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more, so he thought about staying in Nandu for two more days before going to Wuxi.

Gao Panlongfu said one thing, he told Li Sancai that Wei Guangwei, the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, wanted to introduce someone to meet Mr.

"Who?"

Only then did Li San know Wei Guangwei and knew that his father was Wei Yunzhen.

Gao Panlong shook his head but said he didn't know, but Wei Guangwei said that the man had two paintings of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong in his hand, one was "Hibiscus Brocade Chicken" and the other was "Willow Crow".

Wei Guangwei had seen those two paintings, and they looked very much like the authentic works of Emperor Daojun, but he was not sure, so he deliberately wanted to lead that person to see Mr., and Mr. would distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Before Gao Panlong finished speaking, Li Sancai stood up excitedly, and Yu Gao said that the substitute teacher approved Wei Guangwei and asked the person to go to Wuxi quickly.

Gao Panlong knew why Xiu Wugong was excited, and he knew that this matter was also very excited.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji's calligraphy and painting are really unparalleled in the world. If it's genuine, it's not his, but it's good at a glance, and it's a lot of benefit.

At that moment, Gao Panlong went to find Wei Guangwei's matter, Li Sancai thought that he was in Nandu these days, the famous places he should go to have gone, and the friends he should visit have also visited, so he simply went to Wuxi tomorrow, first, to live with his old friends for a few days, and second, to wait for the two paintings to see if they were true or false.

He had a mind that if those two paintings were the authentic works of Emperor Daojun, he would buy them from the owner of the paintings anyway. Thinking that his family has a lot of money, as long as the bid is high, there is no reason for the owner not to sell. It's really not for sale, and there are means to ask him to sell.

He, Li Sancai, is now a civilian, and his energy is also monstrous.

But the next day, Gu Xiancheng's son-in-law Wang Yongtu came to the door in a hurry.

Wang Yongtu was ordered by his father-in-law Gu Xiancheng to come from Wuxi and asked Li Sancai to meet in Wuxi as soon as possible for a deep talk, and to have important matters to entrust.

Li Sancai couldn't help but wonder if his old friend's body had changed, so he asked his disciple to greet him on the front foot, and sent his son-in-law to invite him urgently on the back foot.

"My husband is still sick, and he often faints, and his spirit has improved before, but a few days ago he suddenly fainted again, and this time the situation seems to be a little bad." mentioned his father-in-law's illness, Wang Yongtu looked sad.

Li Sancai didn't continue to ask more questions, and hurriedly asked the servants to pack their bags, and immediately set off to take a boat to Wuxi accompanied by Wang Yongtu. Wang Yongtu had already sent a message to Gao Panlong, and the other party rode back to Wuxi in a hurry.

A few days later, Li Sancai finally arrived in Wuxi by boat.

When he arrived in Wuxi, it was already sunset, and Li Sancai went straight to Jingli after going ashore, and the closer he got to the Gu family's old house, the heavier his mood became.

Looking up, Mr. Donglin's house faces Jiaoshan in front of him, and Doushan Mountain in the back, and the mountain is like a dragon coming from the west; The old house is facing water on the left and right, the air is thick and the pulse is clear, at this time Li Sancai suddenly thought, the feng shui here is very good, maybe it should be on Mr. Donglin, no wonder he will make that career of revitalizing science?

When he arrived at Gu's house, his own servants came to entertain him.

Wang Yongtu instructed someone to settle Li Sancai's luggage, and then led Li Sancai to see his father-in-law.

After entering, he realized that his father-in-law was still asleep, Wang Yongtu was at a loss, but Li Sancai was calm, and first saluted his old friend's wife Zhu.

Gao Panlong also stepped forward to salute Li Sancai.

"Since Yongtu left, Xiancheng has been in a coma for a long time, and my son, daughter and grandson have taken turns calling him, but I can't wake him up, what should I do if Brother Daofu sees it?" The Gu family and the Li family are good friends, and the Zhu family treats Li Sancai without seeing each other.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Li Sancai signaled to Zhu's relief, bent down and listened to his old friend's heart, and then said to Zhu: "It's okay now, but my heartbeat is weaker." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Zhu was a little relieved, and hurriedly asked Gao Panlong and his son-in-law Wang Yongtu to accompany Li Sancai to eat first.

The atmosphere of this meal was dull, and everyone was worried about Mr. Donglin's condition.

At night, Li Sancai really couldn't sleep all night, and he was very worried that his old friend would leave and go back.

At dawn the next day, the red sun hung high, and Gu Xiancheng, who had been asleep for several days, suddenly opened his eyes wide and woke up.

After getting the news, Li Sancai, Gao Panlong and others hurriedly went to visit.

Seeing the arrival of his old friend, Gu Xiancheng was a little excited, he stretched out his hands, one holding Li Sancai, the other holding his son-in-law Wang Yongtu, and his eyes looked at his disciple Gao Panlong, and said with difficulty: "I'm sick, I'm afraid I'm going to see Mr. Yang Guishan... After I leave, don't let the banner of the academy fall! ”

When Gu Xiancheng said this, he took a few quick breaths.

Gao Panlong and Wang Yongtu choked up again and again, both speechless.

Li Sancai squatted on the side of the bed, comforting his old friend to take care of himself and not to think too much.

Gu Xiancheng looked at Li Sancai with a smile on his face, and gradually, his mind became more and more sober, and then, he actually said that he was hungry.

Zhu hurriedly asked the servant to bring white fungus porridge for her husband to eat.

After eating, Gu Xiancheng's mental outlook was better, and he was able to sit up.

Li Sancai and Gao Panlong both felt that this seemed to be a bad omen, and they were all worried about whether Mr. Donglin would return to the light.

After Lang Zhong took a look, he said that from the pulse point of view, Mr. Gu Da's condition seemed to be improving.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

In fact, as Lang Zhong said, Gu Xiancheng's health was really getting better and better day by day in the next few days, and he was able to walk around the courtyard every afternoon.

Li Sancai has been accompanying his old friend for the past few days, and Gu Xiancheng showed him a letter he had written to the officials in Chaodonglin.

Li Sancai opened it and took a closer look, and saw what his old friend said in the letter, which meant that the current situation was full of changes, and the old friend advocated that the monarchs in the party should know how to protect themselves, and they should not be angry in case of trouble, and they should not be in a hurry to cut off the different parties...

Generally speaking, Gu Xiancheng means that the purpose of Donglin remains unchanged, and all the monarchs in the party must still be of one heart and one mind, and must not decline because of his departure.

"This was written in the previous preparations, and now it seems that it will be put aside for a while." Gu Xiancheng smiled.

"It's not just going to be put aside for a while, according to me, at least twenty years." While admiring his old friend's view of the overall situation, Li Sancai couldn't help but quip.

"Twenty years is too long, but another three or five years is enough." Gu Xiancheng held Li Sancai's hand tightly, and said seriously, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." ”

"I understand."

Li Sancai nodded heavily, and the two of them recalled the past in the courtyard, and as they were talking, the porter came to report that there was an inner supervisor from outside the courtyard who wanted to see Mr.

"Internal Supervisor?"

Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng were stunned, and immediately they both changed color: Could it be that the emperor came to reprimand him?

Thinking of the situation of the central official's interrogation in his old house in Tongzhou, Li Sancai couldn't help but be sad and indignant.

Gu Xiancheng also trembled slightly, but soon recovered as before, his expression was calm, and he ordered someone to open the door and welcome the inner prison in. It was also reported that the disciples hurried to set up an incense case in the courtyard to prepare to receive the order.

The door of the Gu family soon opened, and Gonggong Wei outside the door couldn't help but be excited: In the end, it is Donglin Taijun, this cultivation is really excellent, excellent.

Welcoming guests at the door is the highest etiquette for hospitality.

Walking into the courtyard, I saw a group of people setting up a table from a distance, and Father-in-law Wei was even more satisfied.

Boss Gu gave him face, and he had to give the other party some face later.

I saw a large group of Confucian scholars walking towards him, led by a few quite old ones, far away, and they couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly.

Gonggong Wei didn't know which one was Gu Xiancheng, anyway, he was smiling, and he raised his voice from afar: "The Lord of Donglin is famous all over the world, and today our family is fortunate to be seen by the King, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people came to the eye.

There are old and young, about a dozen people, and the two leaders seem to be sixty years away.

Gonggong Wei was not sure which one was Gu Xiancheng, so he smiled silently, waiting for the other party to introduce himself, and then he introduced himself.

Sure enough, an old man stepped forward, but the look in his father-in-law Wei was very unkind.

Looking at the rest of the people, the expressions were clearly full of righteous indignation.

Father-in-law Wei was stunned: Could it be that my brother Lao Wei didn't explain the matter?

was about to open his mouth to resolve the crisis, but he saw that the old man suddenly frowned, and then his face turned white and blue for a while, and he looked very sad.

Before Father-in-law Wei could figure out what was going on, the old man suddenly "pounced" and fell to the ground. Look at it again, there is no effort in the blink of an eye, and the old man is lying motionless like a corpse!

The whole process is so fast that it can be described as lightning and thunder, and even people can't be saved.

Fuck me!

Father-in-law Wei was dumbfounded: What kind of song is this?!

Before he could come back to his senses, he saw a group of people in front of him pounce on the corpse, and the two hugged and cried, crying and shouting: "Sir, sir! ”

Father-in-law Wei's delicate body was shocked, and he instinctively took two steps back, spreading his hands and looking innocent, he really wanted to cry without tears.

Gu Xiancheng is dead!

The Lord of Donglin, dead!

Die in front of his father-in-law Wei!

However, from beginning to end, his father-in-law Wei never said a word!

Even, the kind smile on his father-in-law Wei's face hasn't faded yet!

This... This...

How does this mean?

Father-in-law Wei's mouth was dry, his face was tense, and his brain was very involuntary.

Things were far beyond his imagination.

It's like the ultimate villain and his father-in-law Wei didn't make a move, he pulled out his knife and killed himself with an "ah", and laughed "Who else is worse than me" before he died.

The contrast is too great.

Grandpa Wei was stunned.
