Qu Shiyun immediately explained to Qian Qianyi: "At that time, the eunuchs were afraid of Lord Sun's influence on the first emperor, so they did everything possible to prevent Lord Sun from entering Beijing. And the people in our party, because Sun Daren is obsessed with recovering Liaodong, they also avoid Sun Daren.

Although everyone talks about restoring Liaodong on weekdays, in the past eight or nine years, anyone who has eyes knows that Dongyu has become extremely difficult to control. Just to be able to resist the capture outside the customs, my Ming treasury can no longer be spent.

And Lord Sun wants to reorganize the army, step by step for the city to push all the way to the hinterland of Liaodong, and the money and food required is simply an astronomical amount. I'm afraid that the Dongyu has not been wiped out, and my Ming Dynasty has already fallen.

Therefore, in the list of officials who were reprimanded to return home a few years ago, the name of Sun Daren was not added to the list of officials in our party who were reprimanded to return home in the previous year. However, when I went to report to the Ministry of Officials yesterday, I heard from a friend that His Majesty had personally added the name of Master Sun to the list of recalled personnel.

Therefore, the only one who can compete with the teacher for the position of the leader and first assistant of Donglin is this Lord Sun. ”

Qian Qianyi listened attentively, and couldn't help but exert some strength in his hand, and suddenly twisted a few long beards. Qian Qianyi's physique is relatively special, and his beard grows slowly, but his three strands of beard that are two inches fast have been raised for a long time to have this scale.

And the Ming Dynasty man takes the beard as the beauty, so he cherishes this beard very much on weekdays. Unexpectedly, because of a momentary distraction today, he accidentally twisted a few roots, which made Qian Qianyi feel both flesh and heartache.

Seeing the way his teacher frowned and gasped, Qu Shiyun immediately lowered his eyes and looked at the wine glass in front of him, as if a flower had grown in the wine glass.

Although Qu Shiyun and Qian Qianyi are nominally master and apprentice, their friendship far exceeds the relationship between master and apprentice. He has been with Qian Qianyi for so long, so he naturally knows the character of this teacher very well.

Although this teacher prides himself on being a clear stream and is famous for his outstanding poetry, he is a man of fame and fortune. Sun Kaiyang is 64 years old and his teacher is 45 years old. In fact, even if you take the next step, the teacher will definitely be able to enter the cabinet smoothly within ten years.

And today, the remnants of the eunuch party in the DPRK and China have not yet been swept away, and the Donglin party should unite to fight against foreign enemies. If the teacher can let go of his obsession and show favor to Sun Kaiyang first, then with the prestige of Lord Sun and the connections of the teacher, who else in the Donglin Party can challenge the joint efforts of the two.

It's a pity that the teacher has been dazzled by the position of the prime minister, and he can take charge of the Ming Dynasty ten years in advance, who would be willing to wait for another ten years? Even Qu Shiyun himself hopes that his mentor can enter the cabinet as soon as possible.

Today, the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty have been corrupted to the point of no return, if we do not cheer up, then our generation of scholars and doctors will really be like Mr. Qishan said, there is nowhere to die.

Qian Qianyi's face was cloudy for a few times, and then he said to his disciple: "Even if His Majesty personally recalls Sun Kaiyang, it doesn't mean anything. After all, he was the teacher of the first emperor, not the teacher of the present.

Besides, Sun Kaiyang is bent on recovering Liaodong, even if His Majesty wants to rely on him, I am afraid that Sun Kaiyang has no intention of staying in Beijing. I won't mention this beforehand, but I'll see it later. However, His Majesty likes Western studies, so I have to take care of it.

Xu Zixian and others have always been friendly with Western missionaries, Jiaxuan, you can start with Father Ai, as long as you can attract Xu Zixian and others as foreign aid, it will be the time for our generation to show their ambitions. Today, the Ming Dynasty is at a critical time for survival, how can our party members back down..."

When it was dark, Wang Shoulu, a member of the household department, Liu Anxing in the Ministry of Works, Ni Yuanlu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and others hurried over after receiving Lu Chengyuan's notice and came to visit Liu Zongzhou.

originally thought that as the veteran and leader of Donglin, after Liu Zongzhou went to Beijing here, in order to save the survival of Donglin, he might put down his lofty and arrogant personality and come out to preside over the overall situation.

But this stubborn character of Mr. Yushan has been in his hometown for three years, and he has not changed at all. No matter how many people tried to persuade them, they all shook their heads and refused to allow it. Liu Zongzhou always believes that the party struggle should not continue, although the eunuch party has harmed the predecessors of the Donglin Party, but today the Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand another bloody party struggle.

In the end, Liu Zongzhou also took out what he wrote on the way, "The Righteousness of Facing Grace and Pre-Condemnation to Junyao Shunshu" to show everyone to show his heart.

The matter has come to this point, and Wang Shoulu, Ni Yuanlu and others can only speak speechlessly. Liu Zongzhou's reputation and talent are far higher than others, and they can only persuade each other with good words, but cannot be forcibly persecuted.

Lu Chengyuan, as the host, saw that the atmosphere was really not suitable for continuing the conversation, so he persuaded Wang Shoulu, Ni Yuanlu and others to stop today and let Mr. Qishan rest and talk later.

Exiting the courtyard where Mr. Yuyama lived, several people couldn't help but look at each other and smiled bitterly. Ni Yuanlu took Wang Yuyong's hand and said: "Yuanzhi, this moment is not the same as in the past, Mr. Yingshan can determine the survival of our party in a single thought. As a disciple, you must not be without admonishing one or two. If the DPRK and the Central Committee do not get rid of it, how can our party's proposition be upheld. There are priorities, Mr. Qishan puts national affairs first, and wants to compromise with the eunuchs, who knows if the remnants of the eunuch party will let our party go? Today, our party is further alive, and if you take a step back, you can die, and please ask Yuanzhi to persuade Mr. Qishan in these days. ”

After Wang Yubei formally bowed down to a few people, she said solemnly: "The words of the gentlemen who just persuaded the family teacher have all been remembered in my heart. However, if our master makes a decision, he will be as solid as a rock. I advise you to make another plan as soon as possible. ”

After Wang Yuying finished speaking, she walked backwards into the courtyard gate, no longer giving Ni Yuanlu a chance to keep him.

Wang Shoulu looked at Wang Yubei who walked into the courtyard, and couldn't help but say a little depressed: "If there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice." This Wang Yuanzhi is really the same as his teacher, and he doesn't understand people at all. ”

Liu Anxing was very disappointed by the Ministry of Industry, and he himself was not very familiar with Lu Chengyuan and others, completely because he was entrusted by his mentor Han Yi to explore Liu Zongzhou's political tendencies, and hoped to reach a political tacit understanding with Liu Zongzhou to deal with the eunuchs together.

But now it seems that this Mr. Qishan is really a little more broad, and such a person may be okay to give lectures in the academy, but entering the court is simply a disaster. In today's world, that official does not talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but only on his lips, and no one will really practice the slogan of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

However, this Mr. Tsuyama seems to have lost the distinction between reality and ideals, and really wants to implement this kind of gentleman's politics in political life. Liu Anxing came to the conclusion that Mr. Qishan was obviously not suitable to be a political ally of his mentor.

After seeing this clearly, Liu Anxing couldn't wait to leave after leaving the courtyard, he wanted to tell his teacher what he had observed as soon as possible.

After watching Liu Anxing leave, Lu Chengyuan said to the two friends: "Why don't you go to my study and appreciate my new edition of Song books." ”

Wang Shoulu and Ni Yuanlu glanced at each other, and said happily in agreement: "It's okay, I'm just about to take a look at Duanben's collection." ”

When he arrived in the study, after the servant refilled the fragrant tea for the three of them, Lu Chengyuan instructed him to stay outside the study and not allow anyone else to come in and disturb him.

But after there were only three people left in the study, Lu Chengyuan didn't take out any Song version of the book, but frowned and said to the two: "If it goes on like this, the situation of our party is not good?" This Mr. Qishan's moral writing is good, and the flowers on the article are sparsely written, but politically it is too naïve.

His Majesty is just a young man of his prime, and Mr. Qishan actually put the hope of reversing the political crisis on His Majesty. He said in Shu: I hope that Your Majesty will 'transcend the foresight, learn from Yao Shun, and practice the way of Yao Shun', which is too much to take for granted, how will such empty words help the court situation? ”

Ni Yuanlu said even more unceremoniously: "This Mr. Qishan is prestigious, and there is no reality in the sparseness. Although he is a young man of high age, he is quite practical in his actions. This letter will certainly not please today. I think it's impossible to recommend him as an emperor. ”

Wang Shoulu sighed faintly and said: "This can't be the emperor, it's not a big deal if you don't like your majesty, and now our imminent big thing is, if even Mr. Qishan can't come out to preside over the overall situation, do we really want to bow to Han Xiangyun and Qian Muzhai?" ”

Ni Yuanlu immediately objected: "By all means, Han Xiangyun and Qian Muzhai have many relatives and friends, and we are attached to the past, do we want to ask for the scraps?" ”

Lu Chengyuan also said unhappily: "When the eunuch party was arrogant and the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, Han Xiangyun and Qian Muzhai were far away from the capital, and they were all my generation working hard in Beijing to support the overall situation. Today, when the situation has improved slightly, he has called his friends and companions to try to install private individuals in the six departments, treating my generation as nothing. That Qu Shiyun relied on the support of his teacher Qian Muzhai, and just returned to Beijing to get the position in the household department, and completely ignored the law and discipline of the imperial court. ”

Of course, there is a reason why Lu Chengyuan is so jealous, although his rank as the head of the Ministry of Engineering is higher than that of the Ministry of Works, but these two positions are not the same.

The director of the Ministry of Industry is the sixth product, and he is the smallest officer of the Ministry of Industry. Although the household department is only from the seventh grade, it is the supervision official who supervises the household department, which is a typical lowly and powerful position.

If he could, Lu Chengyuan would rather change positions with Qu Shiyun, not to mention that the Ministry of Engineering was ranked at the end of the sixth, and it was generally difficult to be promoted. And because of the great power in the matter, you can often let the Son of Heaven hear your name, and in a ** society, let the emperor remember you, which means that you will be promoted.

So don't look at the official position in the household department, it seems that the official position is not high, but basically the person who serves in the matter can be promoted quickly, or even released as a local governor, which is a member of the second and third grades.

Lu Chengyuan, Wang Shoulu, and Ni Yuanlu formed an alliance because they had no one to rely on. The first two are unreliable masters and township parties, and although Ni Yuanlu is from Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli's disciples, Sun and Yuan were not only attacked by the eunuchs in the court, but also had a lot of opinions on these two people in the Donglin party, thinking that the state affairs are so difficult because the two advocated recovering Liaodong, but after spending so much income from the national treasury, the Liaodong army did not even dare to go out of the city to fight.

As a last resort, Ni Yuanlu could only find Lu Chengyuan and Wang Shoulu, who were also unwilling and had no background in the party, to form an alliance.
