Chapter 11: The Lord of Jiangnan [4,000 Words Chapter]

Zhu Zhiyu stopped his horse, looked at the majestic Nanjing city wall in front of him, and exhaled softly: "Now, I can finally catch up." ”

Thinking like this, Zhu Zhiyu clamped the horse's belly again, and galloped forward with the horse.

It's just that Zhu Zhiyu was in a hurry, but the person behind him was crying bitterly: "Mr. Shunshui, Mr. Shunshui!" Wait for my little brother, this road is bumpy, and my legs are going to be worn out! ”

I saw that the person behind him was in his thirties, with a thin figure and a worried face.

When Zhu Zhiyu heard this, he laughed and said, "Taichong! You avenged your father back then, where did the ruthlessness of the court cone traitor go? Your Majesty praises you as a loyal minister. Now, I finally have the opportunity to display what I have learned in my life, and finally have the opportunity to save this decadent trend! But you can't even bear the road? ”

"Mr. Shunshui, if you knew this, why did you give up your reputation as the first in the Ministry of Rites in the first place." The man behind shouted, but he stopped complaining, and continued to beat his horse and hurry.

Mr. Shun Shui is Yuyao Zhu Zhiyu.

Zhu Zhiyu's family is a famous family in Yuyao, his grandfather Zhu Kongmeng is famous, and his father Zhu Zhengguan is the governor of Caoyun. It's just that the Zhu family has an ancestral motto that has been passed down from generation to generation: that is, the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, it is very high, and it is not allowed to be handed down by officialdom and laymen. The direct consequence of Qinggao was Zhu Zhiyu's difficult childhood: his father was young. The mother dragged her three children to live in poverty. Zhu Zhiyu was also in charge early. Supporting his family at a young age. Not only did he do farm work such as farming and slaughtering, but he also did domestic servants and miscellaneous labor in the city.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhiyu is very motivated. Although life is hard, I didn't fall behind in my studies, and I studied on my own while working. He has worshiped three celebrities as teachers: Zhu Yongyou and Zhang Kentang. Wu Zhongluan. Zhu Yongyou, the servant of the Ministry during the Chongzhen period. Zhang Kentang. During the Chongzhen period of the governor of Fujian, the most powerful was Wu Zhongluan, although the official position was not high, but the educational achievements were outstanding.

In addition to traditional Confucianism, these three teachers successively taught Zhu Zhiyu a new discipline in the late Ming Dynasty: practical learning.

Shixue, originated from the "Shigong School" in the Song Dynasty, emphasizing the application of the world.

That's it, five years ago. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zhu Zhiyu was recommended to the Ministry of Rites, and stepped onto the stage of history for the first time with the title of the first all-round talent in civil and military affairs. That year, Zhu Zhiyu was thirty-eight years old.

Thirty-eight-year-old Zhu Zhiyu is already very mature, he has not been carried away by fame, he has clearly seen that the world is getting worse and the country is in difficulty. Officials get money, government is bribed, the government is disorderly, and the officialdom is bad. At this time, I will join the office. can only get bogged down in the quagmire.

At this moment, Zhu Zhiyu, who was rushing to Nanjing, remembered what he said to his wife back then: "If I am the first jinshi and make a county order, I will be arrested in the early years; Three years the following year. The people recite virtue, and the officials praise them, and they will get the way. This is the suggestion. He will be punished with a great sin, and his wealth will not be guaranteed. Self-inflicted and intense. Can't bear to be rich, so I'm determined to go up! ”

Back then, he saw through the world. understands that if you are determined to forge ahead and enter the officialdom in a vain attempt to change the world, you can only bring trouble to yourself.

Therefore, Zhu Zhiyu said: "Worldly people are happy to be added to the official ranks, and virtuous men and gentlemen are happy to be able to do what they say." Words and deeds, the way is its own. Cover the worldly feelings, Zhi Zhou and his descendants. The official is honorable, and the generous is for the benefit of the descendants for several generations, and his wish is like this. Adults and gentlemen take the world as a measure. In the world, we are worried about the world, and in one state, we are worried about one state, but we are afraid that the people's livelihood will not fail. As for the glory of the body and the thickness of the food, they are indifferent, so they are only happy to be able to do their way. ”

Zhu Zhiyu doesn't have a desire for power, he just wants to take revenge in his chest. He understands that people's livelihood is the foundation of the country, so he is also running among the people without joining the office, caring about people's livelihood, hoping to use his own little effort to exert more of the strategy in his chest and change the world for the better.

Obviously, Zhu Zhiyu is unwilling to be buried.

And at this time, news came from the north. Suddenly, the young prince suddenly rose to prominence. Eliminate the chaos of the household department, straighten out the financial policy, train a strong army to pacify the internal invaders, raise the difficult force to fight and build slaves, and kill the chief Abatai Xue Daming national shame.

For a while, Zhu Zhiyu had the feeling that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

When he heard that Zhu Cihong was going south to Nanjing to supervise the country under the starry night, Zhu Zhiyu couldn't sit still. He bought a good horse and rushed desperately from Yuyao, Zhejiang Province to Nanjing.

Along the way, Zhu Zhiyu also saw many, many colleagues with lofty ideals attracted by such a surprise.

With Zhu Cihong's Daming, it is like burning a little spark on the grassland in the cold winter night.

A spark can start a prairie fire.

Zhu Cihong's fire ignited the fire of these Ming aspirants who were scattered like sand.

It's like, as soon as Zhu Zhiyu came out of Yuyao, he saw Huang Zongxi who went with him.

In the same Yuyao, the older ones certainly know that this Huang Zongxi, who is eleven years younger than him, is very knowledgeable, has a great strategy in his chest, and is not weaker than his own talent.

And such a talented person, just like himself, was attracted by Zhu Cihong and aroused the hope of saving the common people, how could this not make Zhu Zhiyu unforgettable?

"It's not too late to go now!" Zhu Zhiyu said that, then beat the horse and galloped forward.

watched the excited Zhu Zhiyu rush towards the horse.

Huang Zongxi, who followed behind, was a little silent.

Fifteen years ago, Huang Zongxi was already famous overseas and was called Yaojiang Huang Xiaozi. This is undoubtedly a high honor for the ancient times that admired loyalty and filial piety.

There is such a foundation in that Huang Zongxi worships famous teachers, studies hard, learns from the great Confucian Liu Zongzhou, obtains the essence of learning from the mountain, and continues the banknote hall in Nanlei to inherit the thread of Donglin.

It's a pity that Huang Zongxi's fate is obedient and he has tried and failed. Last year, Huang Zongxi was named Sun Shan again in the Beijing imperial examination, and he could only return to Yuyao on the tenth day of the first month of winter last year. The only thing that can be called fortunate is that Huang Zongxi did not encounter a military rebellion.

It's just that this time I went back to Nanjing to seek refuge with the prince. Huang Zongxi was not all that pure excitement.

Although he had hopes for this prince who had made great achievements, he was worried that this prince who came from the south would greatly change the pattern of Jiangnan.

Any change is a pattern of existing interests.

Although Huang Zongxi is just a fallen scholar, he is a well-timed politician in this era. In other words, he has strength and influence that goes far beyond his official status.

And this. It involves another key existence after Donglin - the Restoration Society.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhang Caizhong Jinshi. Zhang Pu chose Qin En to pay tribute to the people of Beijing and Taixue, and the court was high. Famous in Beijing. Soon, Zhang Pu and Du Linzheng and Wang Chongjian formed the Yantai Ten Sons Society, and then got acquainted with Mi Shoudu, Chen Zhaozeng, Yang Tingshu, Xu Wang, Luo Wanzao, Ai Nanying, Zhang Shichun, Zhu Jian, Zhu Hui, Zhang Cai, Song Zhengbi and others.

Zhang Pu shouted: "Our country has won the corporal of the world with the righteousness of the scriptures, and it has been hanging for 300 years. Today's Gongqing is not familiar with the six arts, and the later Xiaosheng plagiarizes his ears and eyes, but fortunately he is in Yousi, no wonder the coffin holds the handle. And the broken branches licking hemorrhoids are half out of the disciples who recited the Fa Confucius. Without him, the way of the teacher is lost, and the way of shame is also blocked. The new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, Linyong lectured, and Pi changed the people. Those who are born at that time, try to praise in case, a few testaments, and learn from the customs. Yu Shengming's writings, the third generation of Billund, what is it in our party?"

A group of scholars were excited by what Zhang Pu said and formed an association to enter. Friendship with each other.

Wuchen will test, only the first and the first two people. The fallen scholars huddled together to keep warm, complaining to each other about their frustration. Take advantage of this opportunity. Zhang Pu shouted the slogan of reviving the peerless school and began to contact the world's scholars.

The League of the Ten Sons of Yantai included the core figures of the Jiangyou and Songjiang literati groups. Jiangyou literati Zhang, Luo, Chen, and Ai. There were three people in the alliance, even though Ai Nanying was later abandoned by the Restoration Society. But Luo Wanzao, Zhang Shichun, and Chen Jitai have all become famous figures in the Restoration Society. Songjiang literati Xia Yunyi, Du Linzheng and Chen Zilong were three of the six sons of several societies, and Chen Zilong had already intersected with Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai in the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627). Yan Zi'an is Yan Du, his father Yan Diaoyu and his younger brother Yan Wushun and Yan Yi once established a small building society, called Yuhang Sanyan. Xiaozhu Club later merged with the reading club run by Zhang Qiran (Xiuchu) and Jiang Hao (Dao Dark). After Zhang Pu and Yan Du got acquainted, Yan Du returned to Zhejiang, and 'the first two Zhejiang societies were in Wumen', and they joined the Fushe together. In this way, Zhang Pu had actually contacted the more influential leaders of the literary society in Jiangyou, Liangzhejiang, Fujian, Songjiang, and Yan (Dumen), Zhao, Lu, Wei and other regions in the north.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu gathered Wu Yuejian Junzao and convened 16 clubs: Jiangbei Kuang Society, Zhongzhou Duan Society, Songjiang Society, Laiyang Yi Society, Zhedong Chao Society, Zhexi Zhuang Society, Huangzhou Quality Society, Jiangnan Ying Society, Zhexi Wen Society, Jiangbei South Society, Jiangxi Zeshe Society, Liting Xi Society, Kunyang Yunpin Society, Wumen Yupeng Society, Wulin Reading Society and Shanzuo Dashe Yu Yinshan, known as the Yinshan Conference, this meeting opened, officially announced the establishment of the Fu Society.

No more than the loose Donglin, Zhang Pu is more like a real party leader. Whether it is the organizational program or action planning, logistics and money preparation, Zhang Pu is prepared.

Therefore, the resumption of the society held a series of conferences, such as Chongzhen held the Tiger Hill Conference in the sixth year, the early leaflets came out in four places, to the solstice, Shanzuo, Jiangyou, Jin, Chu, Fujian, Zhejiang, to the boat to thousands of people. The Daxiong Treasure Hall cannot be tolerated. Shenggongtai, thousands of stones, the scales of cloth are full, back and forth silk weaving, the people who swim in the city compete to restore the name of the society, the carved monument, the audience is all surprised, thinking that in the past three hundred years, there has never been this.

In August of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Restoration Society held a conference in Taoyedu, this time it was a pure political rally, at that time Wu Yingji and Mao Bijiang, Chen Dingsheng, Gu Zifang and others opened the Taoye Residence, and learned that the apocalypse castration of the dead was 13 orphans, the momentum was huge, and the sword pointed at the eunuch Ruan Dacheng, which provoked Ruan Dacheng to be very jealous, talking about the sword, recruiting rangers in order to protect himself.

Obviously, compared to just the famous Donglin. The Restoration Society is more tightly organized, has a larger number of people, and has a deeper foundation, making it an exceptionally powerful existence.

It is also the existence of the Restoration Society that makes Zhang Pu the real master of Jiangnan although he has no real power.

After Liu Shidou, the governor of Taicang Prefecture, arrived, "he consulted on everything, and he returned to the country on leave as if he had taken leave, and he was closely influenced by Zhan Wen (Shidou)." In the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633), Taicang was affected by the wind, "fighting rice and thousands of dollars, Taicang Cao did not lose, Liu Shi Dou thought of cutting the people, and two of them sought a strategy to save the famine." Cai Guang consulted Bo visited, and Defu Xu Song Wenjie said',. Zhang Cai wrote "The Military Prince's Saying", and Zhang Puzuo followed him. In the Ming Dynasty, there were strict regulations on the transportation of grain, which could not be changed at will. The second Zhang presided over the famine relief and changed the rules, which shows the ability of the two people.

And this point was vividly displayed in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, when Zhou Yanru regained the cabinet as the first assistant.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, "Zheng Sanjun, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, etc. were all offended". Wu Chang, a member of the Restoration Society who was the Ministry of Rites at the time, wrote to Zhang Pu: "Yushan (Qian Qianyi) was destroyed and not used, Zhan Zhi (Wen Zhenmeng) was expelled in March, the southeast party prison was reported, and Fei Yangxian (Zhou Yanru) came back, which was not enough to save the disaster." Zhang Pu was very worried about the future of the country, and also believed that "unless Yixing is restored, it will eventually be isolated", and decided to win over Zhou Yanru and return him to the cabinet to control the situation. So he conspired with Qian Qianyi, Xiang Shuixin, Xu Bezhai, Ma Suxiu and others in Suzhou Tiger Hill Stone Buddha Temple, "sent the servant Wang Chengyi Qizha to be selected into the Changshi Mansion of Mr. Wu Laizhi". Wu Changshi was "hand to handle the court, breathing through the emperor's seat", but the emperor's side, the ministers were densely packed inside and outside, "the clues are difficult to pass", the king matured and memorized the seven, and then "cut one word at a time, and the miscellaneous ruins were in the Wu account." For the method of dressing, you have to reach the group".

If it was just an ordinary help for Zhou Yanru to regain his appearance, it would not be considered Zhang Pu's strength.

What's even more powerful is that Zhang Pu said to Zhou Yanru: "If the public is represented, it will be easy to get the past, and you can regain your good name."

After saying this, Zhang Pu took out more than ten things to save him, and asked Zhou Yanru to do them one by one after he came to power.

You must know that the relationship between Zhang Pu and Zhou Yanru should be higher than Zhang Pu. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu should take the exam, Zhou Yanru took the exam, and met Zhang Pu for the first time. In terms of qualifications, Zhou Yanru is the master of Zhang Pu, and Zhang Pu is nine years old, and Zhang Pu is his disciple.

The master-apprentice program is often an ancient iron law, but it is out of shape in Zhang Pu and Zhou Yanru.

You must know that Zhou Yanru is not an ordinary political figure. Zhou Yanru is a bigwig who has served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and this time he will compete for the first assistant of the cabinet again. Now, he still has to obey Zhang Pu's orders. Although it is ridiculous, I have to admit that Zhang Pu's status is really higher than Zhou Yanru.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu tried his best and earnestly expected Zhou Yanru to carry out his national salvation program, so he pushed Zhou Yanru to the position of first assistant.

Thinking of this, Huang Zongxi thought of himself.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu convened the "Jinling Conference" in Nanjing, and Huang Zongxi, who happened to be in Nanjing at that time, was introduced by his friend Zhou Biao to participate in the Restoration Society and became one of the active figures in the society. This year, he also joined the poetry club headed by the famous scholar He Qiaoyuan; Later, Huang Zongxi, Wan Tai, Lu Fu and his younger brothers Zongyan and Zonghui also organized the "Lizhou Restoration Society" in Yuyao. Obviously, Huang Zongxi has become the backbone of the Restoration Society.

Xu is the will of God.

Huang Zongxi soon found himself in a great dilemma. (To be continued.) )

PS: Yesterday I stayed up late at work, and I didn't care about the novel. I was also busy during the day, so I had to send the two chapters together today
