Chapter 903 No need to explain
If you use a poem to describe Lin Yanchao's mood at this moment, it is undoubtedly 'I should have my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch'.
Most people think that they are right, their decisions are right, and they will be a good person, but if you change to ordinary people and understand differently, they think that if you are wrong, you are a bad person.
This is especially true for those who read and admit death.
So for Lin Yanchao, it's really difficult for bad officials to get along with, but it's even more difficult for good officials to get along with! Especially a pure Confucian like Fu Zhiyuan.
Of course, Lin Yanchao thinks that Fu Zhiyuan is a good official, and of course Lin Yanchao doesn't think he is a bad official, so he admires Fu Zhiyuan from the bottom of his heart.
But what about Fu Zhiyuan? Did you treat Lin Yanchao as a fellow practitioner and the same good official?
Obviously not, since returning to Germany to serve as the prefect, Fu Zhiyuan has always been on guard against Lin Yanchao.
Fu Zhiyuan is not only incorruptible, but also not easy to fool, and can be called discerning.
Therefore, Fu Zhiyuan didn't think that Lin Yanchao was a clean official, so he secretly investigated. Now Lin Yanchao asked himself, he really can't talk about being a good official.
Not to mention that he has made a lot of profits from the farmer's bank, such as installing his own cronies in the government before, which is also an indisputable fact.
Fu Zhiyuan wanted to blame Lin Yanchao for these few things, but Lin Yanchao also admitted it, not only would he not be angry, but he would laugh and play Tai Chi with Fu Zhiyuan.
But Fu Zhiyuan mentioned the silt field and accused Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao is really angry, why? Fu Zhiyuan was wronging him, he didn't do it at all.
Those hundreds of acres of silt fields are indeed not because he is greedy for ink, he Lin Yanchao is the leader to carry the black pot.
But from Ma Yu, Gu Mingji, and even the current Fu Zhiyuan think that Lin Yanchao is greedy for ink, and he treats himself as a big corrupt official! But Lin Yanchao was really not greedy, he was simply wronged.
Lin Yanchao couldn't explain this.
At the beginning, he could have told Gu Mingji about this, because Gu Ming would no longer say good things for himself, but he would be willing to let himself bear the reputation of corruption all the time.
But it doesn't work to tell Lao Fu! Not really.
But in the face of Fu Zhiyuan's questioning, Lin Yanchao really had the urge to tell the truth.
When Fu Zhiyuan knew that the silt field was the emperor, the stunned expression, the comfortable feeling of slapping his face.
Hum! Wronged me?
But...... This impulse was only for a moment, and when the words reached Lin Yanchao's mouth, he swallowed it back.
Fu Zhiyuan saw that Lin Yanchao didn't say anything, and couldn't help asking, "Who is it?" ”
Lin Yanchao calmed down after being angry, and laughed: "Futai, you are dead, I won't tell you." You can learn from the dozen or so imperial histories and Gu Ming has impeached me like that. ”
"You ......" Fu Zhiyuan was furious, and then paced and pondered, "Lin Sima actually defended this person like this, it seems that he is either kind to you or extremely powerful?" ”
Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "There are rules in the world, and there are rules in officialdom. ”
Fu Zhiyuan sighed: "Sima, you are greedy for hundreds of silt fields, are you worthy of the people of Henan?" They are the people who have written to the saints to protect you, and they all think in their hearts that they are good officials who ask for the lives of the people. ”
"Do you know what you think of the officialdom now? Ma Yu found out about your corruption, and you had to kill him. No one said that you killed Ma Yu out of righteousness, but out of selfishness. Embezzled hundreds of dumped fields, and with such a stigma, you are like cutting off your career in the clear stream. Thou hast asked the Son of Heaven for the sake of the people, and thou hast lived up to the world's expectations, but the silting of the fields has ruined all the good reputation you have accumulated. ”
"What do the people of the world think of you? How do the world's readers think of you? They will say that you, Lin Yanchao, are a despicable villain who is inconsistent in words and deeds! ”
Lin Yanchao understood that Fu Zhiyuan also had a good intention in it, and immediately said: "Thank you, but as long as you know that these hundreds of tilts are not Lin Mou's greed for ink." ”
Fu Zhiyuan spread his hands and said: "What is the difference between you taking hundreds of acres of silt fields and bribing them with ink?" Even if Fu knew that you were trying to kill Ma Yu, so you used this silt field as a bargaining chip to plot, but Fu explained it to outsiders like this, who would believe it? It's like mud thrown into the crotch of your pants, and you can't explain it. ”
"So the only way to cure the root cause is to tell the truth about the silt field, right?" Lin Yanchao asked rhetorically.
Fu Zhiyuan said: "Yes, for the sake of the people of Germany and the reputation of your Lin Sanyuan, this is the only way to do it!" Otherwise, even if you pass this hurdle and the court does not condemn you, it will not escape the accusations of thousands of people. ”
"Then it's what the thousand people pointed to!" Lin Yanchao is simply authentic.
"Lin Sima ......" Fu Zhiyuan was about to reprimand, when he saw Lin Yanchao interrupt: "Futai, what Lin has done, I don't ask for the admiration of all the people, I don't want to be respected by future generations, as long as I know what I have done, I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of my conscience, Lin Mou's life is worthy of admiration, and there is no need to explain to outsiders!" ”
After speaking, Lin Yanchao flicked his sleeve robe, and left high-spirited, leaving Fu Zhiyuan alone to stay indoors.
Fu Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "I don't know that I have such a reputation today, how many people in the world can reach it, and which one of the people in the world doesn't envy it?" But I don't know how to cherish it, it's really confused! ”
Guide Mansion finally ushered in the twelfth year of Wanli in a heavy snowfall.
The twelfth year of Wanli, when today is the twelfth year of Zi Yuji.
At the beginning of the new year, there was good news that the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty into Yunnan won successive battles under the command of Liu Wei and Deng Zilong, and finally fought a decisive battle with the Burmese army.
The Burmese king Mang Yingli personally led the army to besiege Meng Mi, but was defeated by Gao Guochun, the general of the Ming army, with 500 people, tens of thousands of Burmese troops, and broke six formations in a row.
The Burmese army was defeated, its generals surrendered, the traitor Yue Feng and his son were captured, the Tusi returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the entire territory of Yunnan was recovered.
The governor of Yunnan, the political envoy, and the Duke of Mu sent officers and soldiers to report to the imperial court.
Lubu passed, and the people along the way heard the news of the Ming army's victory, and cheered, but most people still regarded it as usual.
In the eyes of the officials, the small southwest border trouble in the eyes of the people is not enough to challenge the powerful Ming Dynasty, but there is a feeling of victory without force, and even some scholars think that the imperial court and the kings are going on expeditions to the wilderness, and it is useless to win by labor, but if they are defeated, they will damage the national strength, and it is not in line with the benevolence of educating the four yi.
But the Son of Heaven will know that tens of thousands of people died under the butcher's knife in vain, the invaders will know what it means to be punished even if they are far away, the imperial court will commend Liu Wei and Deng Zilong for their outstanding military exploits, and will also inform the world about Gao Guochun's 500 breaking tens of thousands, and it will be recorded in history and famous for future generations.
As for the million military salaries sent by the imperial court from the inner treasury before the war, everyone talked very little, thinking that this was the responsibility of the imperial court, and as for the 200,000 taels of silver offered by Lin Yanchao, nothing was known.
In this way, in a big victory in Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the twelfth year of Wanli.
For the follow-up of Ma Yu's case and the matter of King Lu's vassal, the court is about to discuss the result.
At this time, a holy decree of the imperial court arrived at the Guide Mansion.
