Chapter 45: Friendship and Principles

Because of Zhang Pu's early departure, the banquet finally broke up unhappily, but everyone's opinion of Zheng Xunrui is different, especially the sentence "The sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, there are thousands of walls, and there is no desire, it is rigid", which is obviously to remind Zhang Pu, who left the table angrily, to pay attention to his personal bearing, and not to get carried away because he is famous.

There are also Yang Yi and Gu Menglin who have such views on Zhang Pu, after all, their ages are different, after the period of youth and frivolity, they see the problem much more profoundly, they appreciate Zhang Pu's talent and courage, but they are faintly unaccustomed to Zhang Pu's temper, especially Zhang Pu's power, which makes them even more worried.

On the other hand, Zheng Xunrui, who is calm and decent, neither arrogant nor humble, and does not make any concessions on issues of principle, this is the real bearing, and it is also the inevitable quality that can achieve great things.

Zheng Xunrui does not regret it at all, on the issue of principle, he will not give in, like-minded people can really develop together, deal with people like Zhang Pu, you can drink and chant poetry together, you can go to the brothel of the Qinglou together, but don't cooperate, don't have entanglements in interests.

But Zheng Xunrui's attitude towards others is different.

He had already noticed that when facing Zhang Pu, Yang Yi and Gu Menglin's attitudes were different, not that kind of worship and fanaticism, as for Yang Tingshu, maybe what he thought of at this time was the conflict and frustration at the banquet, and he couldn't think of anything else for the time being.

Wu Weiye is a student of Zhang Pu, and he must support Zhang Pu, Wu Changye is not very old, and he will not understand the real reason for the conflict for the time being, and he must support Zhang Pu emotionally.

When I got back to my room, I didn't have time to wash up when there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Yang Tingshu, who looked depressed, stood at the door.

"Brother Huaidou come in and sit, don't be so depressed, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, if you are together, you will be divided, this is a very normal thing."

Yang Tingshu sighed and entered the room.

"I'm also a little complaining about Brother Tianru, obviously everyone eats and drinks together, you can recite poems and paint, but what do you say about the resumption of the society, even if you think about the resumption of the society, you have to choose the right opportunity, where there is just a meeting, and you want to attract people to enter the restoration society."

Zheng Xunrui's face became stern, his attitude towards Yang Tingshu was different, and some things had to be said thoroughly.

"Brother Huaidou, even if the opportunity is right, even if Brother Tianru invites me to join the Restoration Society again, I will not agree."

"Why, is there really a requirement for the Zheng family motto?"

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, and at this moment, even Yang Tingshu's face became stern.

"Brother Huaidou, you and I are like brothers, there are some things that I want to say in front of you, you are a member of Yingshe, but have you ever paid attention, you and I have been dating for so long, have I asked you anything about Yingshe."

Yang Tingshu thought about it, Zheng Xunrui really didn't ask.

"The reason I didn't ask was because I had a different opinion."

From academic discussions to discussions on current affairs, etc., the Socialist Party has developed to a certain extent, and it is inevitable to make its own voice, put forward its own opinions, and even measures related to the development of the current political situation, and these voices cannot be ignored by others, nor are they allowed to be ignored by others.

"I am not opposed to forming a party and association, if there is an outstanding leader, knowledgeable, far-sighted, clear and clear, and has a lot of things in his mind, it is a blessing for the country to be able to make the right voice in the socialist party formed in this way, but on the other hand, the leader has developed to a certain stage in the socialist party, and he begins to think about power, he begins to think about controlling power, and even begins to think about the influence of the government, and begins to think about self-righteousness, what is the end of the development of such a socialist party, I don't want to say more."

"In addition, no Socialist Party dares to guarantee that the members will be high-spirited gentlemen, and there must be humble and filthy villains who will take the opportunity to mingle in, and if the Socialist Party wants to develop well, it will inevitably need to carry out self-purification, weed out the unqualified people among them, and let the Socialist Party maintain its purity, and only in this way can it be regarded as a truly successful Socialist Party."

"This is like a famous family, why it can last for thousands of years, why the family motto will continue to change, all need to adapt to the changes of the times, if you stick to the rules, decline is inevitable."

"Brother Tianru has a great influence, and I also admire his talent and ability, but what happened today disappointed me, I can't bear such a small thing, I don't care about the face of others, what I think of is my own anger, my own dignity, such a bearing, how can I really lead a huge community." ……

Yang Tingshu's face was shocked and thoughtful, shocked that Zheng Xunrui had such a deep understanding, thinking about the Ying Society and today's Restoration Society, thinking more of Zhang Pu's appearance, indeed, according to Zhang Pu's expression today, if he wants to lead a huge club with such a bearing, the final outcome is conceivable.

Of course, Yang Tingshu's thinking cannot change in a short period of time, he needs a period of thinking about it, and Zheng Xunrui can reach the same brotherhood because he has similar interests, but whether he can really be like-minded, it is really unclear.

"Qingyang, I understand what you mean, but Yingshe and Fushe are both developing well now."

Zheng Xunrui shook his head slightly, he knew that Yang Tingshu's thoughts could not be changed for a while, not only Yang Tingshu, but also many readers, their ideas were difficult to change, this has become a trend, and when necessary, it can only be replaced by other ways.

"Brother Huaidou, I don't dare to be presumptuous about the comments of the corresponding society and the Restoration Society, it has only been a few years since the establishment of the Ying Society, and now the influence has gradually faded, and the establishment of the Restoration Society is not long, and it is difficult to see any clues at present, so I am not qualified to make an evaluation."

"How do you know so clearly about the situation of the society and the resumption of society?"

"I am a scholar, and the influence of the Ying Society and the Fu Society is so direct, how can I not care, ignore the things outside the window, and only read the books of the sages and sages The era has long passed, and today's readers, I'm afraid there are very few people who don't know the Ying Society and the Fu Society."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Tingshu's face.

"Qingyang, you can always surprise me, I really can't imagine that you can know so many things at such an age, what you said before is that the sea is inclusive, there is tolerance, there are thousands of walls, and there is no desire, I firmly remember it, and I don't know what Tianru thought when he heard this sentence when he was leaving."

After Yang Tingshu left, Zheng Xunrui fell into deep thought.

The party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty existed all the time, and it has become a cancer in the imperial court, which cannot be eliminated at all, especially the struggle between the eunuch party, the Donglin party and the Zhejiang party, in order to be able to obtain the greatest power, for the good development of their own faction, and try every means to suppress the opponent, you sing and I take the stage, what is even more frightening is that the party struggle has kidnapped the public opinion, kidnapped the elite of society, and all of them are for their own interests, as for the interests of the country, the life and death of the people, they don't care at all, I don't care.

There were too many problems in the late Ming Dynasty, and if we wanted to reverse the situation and not work hard from the root, it would be impossible to achieve the goal, but to work hard from the root, we would inevitably clarify our viewpoint and establish a new order.

Of course, there is a lot of preparation to get there.

Zheng Xunrui knows that with his personal strength, he can't do this step, even if you have Su Shi's talent, it is in vain, only when you have the strength in your hands can you start a real struggle.

Comparatively speaking, the Fushe and the Ying Society are very easy to deal with, and they are also very divided and disintegrated, after all, they are all scholars, they do not have such a strong will, and they do not have such a strong strength, and they are more difficult to do so, they have strong strength in the imperial court, and they really control the power.

Don't be too anxious, don't be too anxious, the road always has to be taken step by step.

When the knock sounded again, Zheng Xunrui was a little strange, could it be that Yang Tingshu came again, and wanted to say something, but this time the knock was different, and it seemed to be a little cautious.

When he opened the door and saw Yang He standing outside, a smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"Come in and sit down, you have seen what happened today."

"When I came down to find Childe, I just wanted to talk about what just happened."

"Oh, what do you think."

Zheng Xunrui poured tea while turning his head to ask Yang He.

"The subordinates support Gongzi, although the subordinates are not scholars, they also think that these friends of Yang Gongzi are so sour that they can't say anything practical, Gongzi cares about the life and death of military households, but these scholars can't think of it at all."

"Yang He, do you think that my actions today are a bit abrupt, and you don't have to offend Zhang Pu."

Yang He looked a little cramped, a rare blush, he nodded, and did not speak.

Zheng Xunrui's heart was touched by a trace of emotion, and he didn't expect that Yang He, who had only been friends for a few days, knew to remind him not to make too many enemies, and to be tactful.

"Yang He, thank you for reminding me, but what happened today, at any time, I will not change my attitude, some things, involving principles, then we must maintain principles, if you give up the principles, blindly cater to others, in exchange for not friendship, not brotherhood, but the exchange of interests."

Yang He looked up at Zheng Xunrui, a slightly surprised look appeared on his face, at this time, he would never regard Zheng Xunrui in front of him as a young man, this is a principled and ambitious person.
