The warm banquet ended in the middle of the night, and the drunken Chang Wei was taken to the quiet room by Yuan Keli and immediately regained his full spirit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yuan Keli saw his appearance, shook his head and sighed: "Fearless, your style of acting is really unexpected." ”

In the past, at the banquet, Chang Wei sometimes said that the past and the present were like a learned scholar, sometimes laughing and scolding like a rough man in the army, and sometimes talking about the world like a master of Western learning. The style changes quickly, and the miscellaneous things learned are really confusing, so Yuan Keli expressed this feeling.

Chang Wei said cheekily: "Teacher, the student was poisoned and plotted last year, and he was seriously injured and was about to die, but fortunately, he woke up and turned around." After waking up, his temperament changed greatly, so he often carnivaled wantonly, and acted arbitrarily, so please forgive me. ”

Yuan Keli exclaimed: "The poisoning plot? There is such a thing, can the murderer be caught?"

Chang Wei sighed, starting from the incident after Xie Yuan took a concubine in the middle of last year and came to worship his ancestors with his father Chang Qing, of course, he had not experienced this, and he did not dare to talk about it in detail.

"When I woke up in February, I found that my concubine Mei Ji was the murderer of my father and son, but unfortunately, this slut was a dead man, so he took poison and committed suicide on the spot. Then I found Tang Shuxue, the fourth lady of the Tangmen in Shuzhong, and learned from that mouth that the Tangmen Broken Gut Powder had only been purchased by Qingxiamen in the north of Nanjing in recent years. ”

"When I went over with the Qing official Si He Chong, dozens of people up and down the Qingxia Gate had already been killed by extremely cruel means. Following the clues all the way to verify, it was found that the murderer was the famous thirteen serial villages in the rivers and lakes, and finally accumulated enough strength after more than half a year of searching on the rivers and lakes, and last month he wiped out this water thief in one fell swoop. In his Honghu lair, I found enough witnesses to learn that the main messenger behind the Thirteen Serial Villages was the Caoyun Governor Teng Leshan!"

Yuan Keli was shocked and angry, "Teng Leshan dares to murder your father and son?

Chang Wei said in a condensed voice: "My second brother found a copy of the secret fold that my father wrote to impeach Fuji Leshan for killing good people in his early years, and we speculate that this secret fold was hidden by Wei Zhongxian and did not appear in front of the emperor. ”

Yuan Keli had no wind under his jaw, and said in a deep voice: "Teng Leshan, this thief, is so mad, did your brother write to impeach him?"

"No!" Chang Wei shook his head, "So far, no one knows the truth of this matter except for our three brothers and the teacher. Although we have witnesses but no physical evidence, we dare not rush to the book, lest we be bitten by the tiger instead of fighting the tiger. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Keli's eyes flickered, obviously helping this newly recruited disciple find a way, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "How are you going to take revenge on this big revenge?"

The revenge of killing his father is not shared, and judging from Chang Wei's ruthless methods, he will definitely not easily spare Teng Leshan.

Chang Wei said: "I found an account book in Honghu that would threaten the life of Teng Leshan's family, but unfortunately that thing fell into the hands of a Jianghu person; ”

Yuan Keli said thoughtfully: "So, while you are messing around in the rivers and lakes, you are operating on Liuheng Island, just to seize the handle of Fujile Mountain from these two aspects?"

Chang Wei said: "Teacher Mingjian!"

Yuan Keli shook his head and said, "Don't you think this is putting the cart before the horse? If you are a powerful minister, those human witnesses and a little bit of physical evidence in your hands are enough to bring down anyone. If you are just a fictitious Jinyi Weibei town envoy, even if you get enough evidence, you can't send it to the emperor's desk, it's a waste of effort. What's more, Wei Zhongxian concealed the evidence of the crime for Fuji Leshan, and if you want to bring him down, you will inevitably incur Wei Zhongxian's revenge, which is very unwise!"

Chang Wei nodded and said: "I understand the truth of what the teacher said, but after I was poisoned, my mind was affected, not only did I forget most of the previous things, but even my knowledge was almost lost, and there was no hope of becoming an official on the right path." Besides, my eldest brother has been an official for many years, and he can't match the power of Wei Zhongxian's finger. So, I think it's almost hopeless to take revenge on the right path!"

"Right way?" Yuan Keli's heart jumped, what he was most worried about was that Chang Wei had gone astray, "What do you want to do?"

Chang Wei smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry, the student will not run into the palace by himself like Wei Zhongxian to compete with him for favor and power." ”

Yuan Keli smiled dumbly, "You are really debauched." ”

Immediately, he said solemnly: "There are so many masters around you, and you have trained a powerful army, don't you want to use force to solve the problem?" ”

Chang Wei was surprised: "Teacher, don't you think I want to support the army and respect myself, right? If I wanted to assassinate Fuji Leshan, he would have died a long time ago." Teacher, please rest assured, since the three brothers are in the officialdom, they will come according to the rules of the officialdom, and if they want to deal with Teng Leshan and Wei Zhongxian, they will definitely be completely overturned in the officialdom, punished by the laws of the state, and will definitely not do that thing of hiding their heads and showing their tails!"

At this time, Yuan Keli was completely relieved, he believed that Chang Wei's words were true, because a person with a firm belief in his heart must be a person who dares to say and act, since he can honestly say what he thinks in his heart, there is no need to deceive people.

"So what do you mean by not taking the right path and finding a new path?"

Chang Wei said slowly: "I heard Jinyi say that there are eight masters around the teacher whose strength is not below him, and there are two top masters, I don't know where these ten people come from?"

"You should know Chaotianque in the rivers and lakes, right?" Seeing Chang Wei nodding, Yuan Keli said: "Those two are masters in the army, and they used to deal with the Japanese with Chaotianque in North Korea back then, and later they were punished for violating military discipline and were punished for serious crimes, and they happened to be rescued by me." The other eight are all righteous people in the rivers and lakes, but they have been extinct in the rivers and lakes for many years, and their backgrounds are not prominent, so you may not know if you say it, so I won't go into details. If there's anything you need help with, ask them to help. ”

"The origin of these ten people is not so simple. Although Yuan Keli said it vaguely, Chang Wei heard the meaning of his words.

Since the teacher is no stranger to the rivers and lakes, it is convenient for the students to explain. Chang Wei said that he controlled the rivers and lakes to protect himself.

Although Yuan Keli thought that his approach was very novel, he was still a little unimpressed, "Although using this power can ensure your safety, it cannot achieve the goal of overthrowing the eunuchs, not to mention that the current imperial court is not only the eunuch party is a stubborn disease, but Donglin is the source of the disaster!"

Yuan Keli is indeed a generation of famous ministers! What others see is the appearance of the eunuch party cholera in the world, but a person with a long-term vision like Yuan Keli knows that the power of the eunuch party comes from the emperor, so why would the emperor allow the eunuch party to have monstrous power? The answer is Donglin!

In order to fight against Donglin, the emperor supported the eunuch party to come out and seize power with them, once Donglin collapsed, the eunuch party would immediately fall out of favor, and lose the emperor's favor, Wei Zhongxian's end would come;

"What the teacher said is true!" Chang Wei responded: "Donglin flaunts integrity and advocates practical learning, which has played a positive role in reversing the style of Shilin. They often talk about how to change the situation of political corruption and people's misery. He also closely linked reading and lecturing with his concern for state affairs. ”

"This kind of pragmatic atmosphere has attracted many people with lofty ideals, and after decades of hard work, a center of public opinion has been formed, and these are the beneficial aspects of Donglin to the Ming Dynasty; but their radical means of fighting against different parties have led to the government and opposition officials to form a party to protect themselves, forming a party struggle that causes chaos in the world!"

Speaking of this, Chang Wei already had a sneer on his face: "The ridiculous thing is that the Donglin Party originally wanted to get rid of maladministration, but now they have become the root cause of maladministration! The struggle has evolved from the original dispute between the cabinet and the portal to the dispute between parties and regions, and the government has deteriorated to a shocking point!"

"Under the obstruction of the Donglin Party, the imperial court's overseas trade tax, mining tax, salt tax, tea tax, handicraft tax, and other commercial taxes have been reduced to an unprecedented level, making the imperial court's financial revenue completely dependent on the peasants.

"How can Xu Hongru be virtuous? What qualifications does he have to lead hundreds of thousands of poor people to rebel? What is the crime of the White Lotus Sect? They just want to have enough to eat! If they don't have enough to eat, aren't they allowed to rebel? How can there be such a reason! Didn't the founding emperors of all dynasties and dynasties all take advantage of the poor people who don't have enough to eat? To put it mildly, the suppression of the White Lotus Sect by my teacher and I is actually tantamount to slaughtering the poor!"

Speaking of this, Chang Wei looked at Yuan Keli's face, and saw that he was not the slightest bit stunned, but encouraged himself to continue, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued: "But everyone knows that if the poor people are allowed to loot indiscriminately, the country will only become more corrupt, therefore, the teacher and I can only break the wrist of the strong man and decisively suppress them!"

"However, this can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"

Chang Wei said with burning words: "Nowadays, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty is developed, and the wealth of the merchants, especially the wealth of the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River far exceeds that of the previous dynasties! The student's friend Zhou Zhuang Shen Jiafu is rich and rivals the country, and the student himself has also earned a huge fortune on Liuheng Island, and the powerful guns and cannons of the Volunteer Battalion are all equipped with the money and wealth earned by the students in just half a year. ”

However, the commercial tax collected by the state is almost negligible, and on the contrary, it is necessary to brutally squeeze the peasants who are about to collapse to maintain their expenses, and why is this? All this is because of the Donglin Party! Most of the people in Donglin come from the families of industrial and commercial owners in the south of the Yangtze River, and they constantly obstruct the imperial court from collecting industrial and commercial taxes for their own selfish interests, and in addition, the scholars do not pay taxes, so the imperial court can only collect taxes from the peasants. ”

"Therefore, in the land of Jiangnan and the rich people, the people are as rich as clouds, but the imperial court is as poor as a wash, and the emperor is equivalent to asking for food with a golden bowl! If it weren't for the eunuchs who have all the power in the world, they can still suppress the Donglin party for the court and the emperor, and snatch a little silver from their hands, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will ask sooner or later."

"Okay!" Yuan Keli raised his hand to stop him from saying the rebellious 'Da Ming will be finished sooner or later'.

"You're completely to the root!" Yuan Keli agreed with his statement first, and then asked expectantly: "Could it be that your method can not only avenge yourself, but also solve the crisis for the imperial court?" )
