Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu sat in the living room in plain clothes

Looking out from the side hall, I saw a few plane trees planted in the courtyard, and the branches and leaves of the plane trees cut the sunset just right, scattering the yard with broken gold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are dozens of potted plants under the tree, and several florists are busy pruning, and the scenery in the yard is quite good, which can be called a flower and tree garden.

I looked back into the room from outside the hall, but I saw that the Huanghuali tables and chairs were all freshly made Su samples. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are not handwritten by famous artists, but they are also gifts from the ministers of the DPRK and China. One of them is hung in the hall with a gold frame, which is very eye-catching, and when you look at it, you can see that it is written with the words "self-denial and dedication", which is actually the imperial pen of today's son.

This calligraphy and painting, together with the furnishings of this room, reminds people that the owner of this place in front of them is a nouveau riche in the court.

Zhang Sixiu, after Zhang Maoxiu looked left and right, Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help but say: "Lin Zonghai is afraid that others will not know his relationship with the emperor?" What is a state of long-term poverty and prosperity? This also. ”

Zhang Sixiu smiled and said: "Don't say it, you will eat this set in the officialdom, otherwise where will the respect come from." ”

"Don't say the word respect, this Lin Zonghai is not honest as an official, in our Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid there are few people who have a good life with him."

Zhang Sixiu smiled: "That's not it, I heard that he Lin Mansion and Zhen Mansion have just married each other. ”

"Which Zhen Mansion? Could it be the rich merchant of Juxianfang. ”

"Exactly."

"No wonder."

The two were talking, when they heard a messenger outside the door: "Master Lin has arrived!" ”

When the two heard this, Zhang Sixiu immediately got up, and Zhang Maoxiu stood up lazily.

Lin Yanchao hurriedly walked into the house, waved at the two of them and said, "Two sons, he ...... him."

After speaking, Lin Yanchao sighed and raised his sleeves to hide his face.

When the two Zhang Gongzi heard Lin Yanchao's words, their eyes immediately turned red, and they soon burst into tears.

Lin Yanchao said to the two: "Before Xiangye leaves, do you have anything to explain?" ”

Zhang Sixiu wiped away his tears and said: "I heard that my father did not eat water and rice in the last three days, and although he was delirious when he was dying, he kept asking the eldest brother who was serving by the bedside, how far is it from Jiangling?" Then I read 'Thirty-six spring waters, white-headed to see Jiangnan'. ”

"Seeing Jiangnan with white heads" is a poem written by Wang Anshi "Title West Taiyi Palace Wall".

The original poem is that the willow leaves are singing green and dark, and the lotus flowers are red at sunset. Thirty-six spring waters, white-headed want to see Jiangnan. Thirty years ago, my father and brother took my things. Today, I came back to Baishou, and I was fascinated by the traces of Chen.

In the poem, Wang Anshi came to Beijing with his father and brother at the age of sixteen, and traveled to the Taiyi Palace in the West, and thirty years later, he came to Beijing again, when he was appreciated by Song Shenzong and summoned to Beijing to preside over the reform. Wang Anshi revisited the West Taiyi Palace, remembering the joy of the young father and brother traveling together, so he inscribed this poem on the wall.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed: "When Xiangye was dying, he still chanted Wang Banshan's 'white-headed meeting Jiangnan', which can know the heart of homesickness." ”

"Speaking of Xiangye, Wang Banshan is full of anger that he has taken the world as his own responsibility, and has the ambition of enriching the people to save the poor, and wants to strengthen the country by changing the law. However, Wang Banshan failed to change the law, but he still had to return to the joy of the countryside, but Xiangye did not have this blessing. ”

Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu couldn't cry when he heard this, and stopped crying after half a ring.

Zhang Sixiu choked up and said: "My father didn't have the blessing of returning to the countryside, and now he only has the word 'Wenzhong' for his nickname, which is really difficult to praise my father's achievements." ”

Lin Yanchao was also silent when he heard it.

Zhang Siwei mentioned the word 'Wenzhong', which is indeed not kind. But when it comes to the name of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, the word Wenzhong is also very good, but there is no need to be dissatisfied.

Lin Yanchao said: "The two sons are too careful, and the nickname is the way to the end of the court's court. Determination is in deeds, and in virtue. Zhenyun, the danger is to be loyal; Worried about the country and forgetting the family and saying loyalty; Let the virtuous be sincere and loyal; Danger to the country is loyal; Live in peace without thinking of loyalty; In times of trouble, he does not rebel and say loyalty. I really can't think of any words other than loyal words to praise the virtue of the master. ”

Lin Yanchao's words sounded. But Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu all knew that Lin Yanchao was using words to prevaricate them.

Zhang Sixiu said: "It's just a matter of the name, but Zong Haike heard that how many people in the government and the opposition were criticizing his father before?" ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised when he heard this: "I really don't know about this." But during the ten years that Xiangye was in power, it was inevitable that there would be criticism from villains. However, everyone in the world knows that the prime minister is the pillar of the country and the pillar of the court, and there is no need to take some gossip to heart. ”

Zhang Maoxiu sneered and said: "Of course, it doesn't hurt if it was in the past, but now that my father has just passed away, the gossip you said has become a clear discussion among scholars, which is eye-catching." ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”

Zhang Maoxiu nodded, took out a book from his sleeve and asked, "I don't know if Zong Hai has ever seen this book?" ”

Lin Yanchao took the book and saw that it was a booklet, and the booklet was written with the words "Last Words on the Sickbed".

Seeing this book, Lin Yanchao knew it in his heart, but he asked knowingly: "What is this book about?" What makes the two sons so uneasy? ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "This book is written by Gao Xinzheng, some people say that he wrote it when he returned to his hometown to live idlely, and some people say that it was written after the palace case of the minister Wang, this book appeared in Beijing for only a few days, but it has been circulated to many readers, and even a book among officials. ”

"The half-truths and half-truths in this book are all old things in the early years of Longqing and Wanli, and there is also a school of nonsense that the minister Wang is Feng Baozhi's sneak into the palace, and Feng Bao is not the minister of the first emperor's order, but is an edict, and slanders his father for attaching Feng Bao and framing Yuan Fu with a high arch, and recruiting power and bribery. This one is really appalling. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't calm down when he heard it, the case of the minister Wang breaking into the palace was a big mystery in the Ming Dynasty.

In the second year of Wanli, Minister Wang, a commoner, actually disguised himself as an internal servant and broke into the Qianqing Palace to assassinate the Son of Heaven. This is the crime of killing kings, and it's chilling to think about.

Who instructed the king's ministers?

There are different opinions, and many people at that time referred to Gao Gong, but according to the last words of the sickbed, they justified that the minister Wang was quietly introduced into the palace by Feng Bao, with the intention of framing Gao Gong.

Lin Yanchao said: "Gao Xinzheng has died of illness in the seventh year of Wanli, and this book is his posthumous work, but why didn't he come out early or late, but he appeared in Beijing three years later when Xiangye died of illness?" This is really suspicious! ”

Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu also nodded.

Zhang Mao said: "Our two brothers also feel that this book is really framed and slandered by someone, Feng Jue, my father, and the intention is very vicious. ”

Lin Yanchao asked: "Then do you think this book is really written by Gao Xinzheng?" ”

Zhang Sixiu said: "Gao Xinzheng has already passed away, and it is difficult to investigate the truth and falsehood. However, upon closer inspection, I found a little clue. Can Zong Hai know Qi Bojian's person? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I don't know, who is he?" ”

Zhang Maoxiu sneered: "Qi Bojian calls himself a mountain man, but he has no hermit style, he actually travels and eats among the ministers, as far as I know, he is very close to Wang Fengzhou, the master of Zonghai, and this book is edited by him." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say, your sister, don't you suspect me.
