Chapter 534: Resolving the grievances of the Donglin Party
The next moment, when the two top masters chased them out, Chang Wei's shadow was gone, and a group of people were chasing people and treating Xu Xianchun, but it was useless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chang Weishen sneaked home unknowingly, and went to the yamen at dawn to order a mao, and came out to find Xu Yunzhen, Wei Liangdong, and Yulang.
Bringing people out of the capital, to Tongzhou, Guangjumen, Xin Lucun, Wu Wenqu, Xie Zuofu, Song Youbi and Wang Chen, Shen Jia's subordinates bought land, cement factories and brick factories have been built, temporary new factories have also been built, a sign of prosperity.
A group of people bought land near the factory, and left the rest to the Seven Seas Alliance, they already have experience in building factories.
I returned to Beijing in the afternoon, but I heard that thousands of people had gathered in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei couldn't drive away, so Chang Wei took the opportunity to see the excitement.
"Master Chang is here!"
"Master Chang is here to supervise the Criminal Department to arrest Xu Xianchun?"
"Master Chang, Xu Xianchun is the culprit, you must not relax!"
These are all acquaintances, Yang Lian's cousin, Yuan Huazhong's brother-in-law, Wei Dazhong's second son, etc., but the leader is a young man with sharp eloquence and flying talents.
Chang Wei stopped Yang Lian's cousin and asked, "Yang Feng, who is this person?"
The young man turned around, clenched his fists proudly, and said, "Huang Zongxi, the eldest son of Huang Zunsu, the sixth gentleman of Donglin!"
It turned out to be Huang Zongxi, "What are you doing here?"
Huang Zongxi said: "Your Excellency's impeachment of Xu Xianchun yesterday has spread all over the government and the opposition, it can be said that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and we have come to the Criminal Department to urge!"
It's good to urge, "What does the criminal department say?"
Huang Zongxi said angrily: "The Criminal Department said that it is studying the evidence of the crime, hmph, what else is there to study in such an iron case!"
After thinking about it, Chang Wei said: "You better pay attention to safety, don't be arrested again, I'll ask." ā
Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, sir!"
After entering the Criminal Department, he went straight to Shangshu Xue Zhen and asked about the case, Xue Zhen used the scene to talk about things, and Chang Wei was not easy to persecute anything.
came out to find Huang Zongxi, "Let's go, let's have a good chat." ā
Huang Zongxi, like Chang Wei, is 21 years old, and his advocacy of "the world is the master, and the monarch is the guest", "the rule of chaos in the world is not the rise and fall of one surname, but the sorrow and happiness of the people", and "the law of the world" replaces the emperor's "law of one family", which is similar to Chang Wei's advocacy of "not serving one person in the world"; Huang Zongxi also admired Chang Wei's cutting of the feudal domain by gambling on his life.
After chatting briefly about academic thoughts, Chang Wei asked, "Brother Taichong, why does Lord Zhou Yanru have prejudices against me?"
Huang Zongxi glanced at him curiously and said, "When the Lord Jindian asked the right question, he once said, Donglin is misleading the country! Mr. Zhou naturally has prejudices against adults!"
Chang Wei said again: "Ling Zun is a Donglin think tank, Brother Taichong is naturally also a member of the Donglin Party, right?
Huang Zongxi didn't answer and asked: "My lord said that Donglin was misleading the country, so what is the image of the Donglin Party in the eyes of my lord? Is it really that unbearable?"
Chang Wei said in a condensed voice: "In my opinion, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party can be called two parties together. Even hard-nosed people like Ling Zun, Yang Lian, and Wei Dazhong have excessively aggressive behaviors! Can you deny that their party is the same and the same as each other? Yesterday I met Ruan Dayue in the palace, who was originally the vanguard of the Donglin Party and a figure in the general record, but because of the infighting in Donglin, he was forced to Wei Zhongxian's side. ā
"How many of the Donglin Party members are the hard bones of the Six Gentlemen? Why did the emperor indulge Wei Zhongxian to deal with the Donglin Party? Most of them are extremely wealthy in industry and commerce, powerful landlords, and the people who owe the most taxes. What should the imperial court do if they don't pay taxes? The Ming Dynasty is now in turmoil, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the situation is in dire straits! What else can the emperor do except use a vicious dog like Wei Zhongxian to make money to support his expenses? Brother Taichong, the emperor's life is not easy!
Huang Zongxi shook his head and said: "Why do you grow up in Suzhou and turn a blind eye to the Donglin Academy near Wuxi? There are only one or twenty people who give lectures in Donglin Academy, and only those who come to listen to the lectures are from Wu County. ā
"The Donglin Party has never gone around lecturing and preaching their own doctrines. Why do you think that it is the Donglin Party who evaluates state affairs and attacks Wei Zhongxian? The adults also impeached Xu Xianchun, is he also a member of the Donglin Party? The Donglin Party members are just an empty name, and everyone is just a friend. If you agree with you, you will be the party, and if you don't, you will be the enemy!"
"That's why there will be the so-called party of the adults, as for the arrears of taxes is a common thing among scholars, it's not good for adults to come out and talk about the Donglin Party alone, right?"
Critics believe that the Donglin Party is the beginning of all Qing Dynasty politics in the world, so they have attracted disaster. Isn't that a kind of discussion of the Qing Dynasty and politics just the biggest embankment of state affairs, and don't you also run a newspaper in Jiangnan? Isn't that a kind of Qing discussion? It's just that your interest is not in the government!"
The more Huang Zongxi spoke, the more excited he became: "It was Yang Lian and other ancestors who turned the tide in the three major cases, and without their strong protection, how could the emperors of the two dynasties successfully ascend the throne! The six gentlemen used their lives to prove that the Donglin Party members have integrity! A class of teachers and friends, cold wind and blood, washing the world, the adults talk so badly, it is really chilling!"
"Brother Taichong, I didn't come to you to quarrel. ā
Chang Wei smiled bitterly and stopped him: "As the court said, I don't look at the process and only look at the results, Donglin has been in power for six years, and his main energy has been on fighting with Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, and Xuan, and the four parties have been defeated, and the emperor found that he was completely hollowed out, so he sent Wei Zhongxian, a vicious dog, to bite people." ā
Huang Zongxi's face was ashamed, "What the adults said makes sense, the Donglin Party people do have a place to be angry, but they are not useless!"
Chang Wei thought for a while and said, "After I impeached Xu Xianchun, Wei Zhongxian asked Tu Wenfu to ask me: What do you want to do?"
I replied to him: The general trend of the world is unstoppable! What does Brother Taichong think is the general trend of the world?
Huang Zongxi hugged his fists and said, "Please advise!"
Chang Wei said with a smile: "I told Tu Wenfu: Now the general trend of the imperial court is to make money, civilians are chaotic, and to build slaves, whoever dares to stop this general trend will be crushed!"
After that, Chang Wei said again: "Of course, for people like Wei Zhongxian who have never read books, I should say that to Brother Taichong, it is the people who rule the country and level the world." Brother Taichong is in his early twenties like me, and he is also from a high background, he has never been eroded by the bad habits of officialdom, and he has his own blood in his chest. ā
"But I want to say that it is not possible to accomplish anything great with enthusiasm alone, and Yan Song's father and son have been in power for more than 20 years in the Jiajing Dynasty, and their power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, who dares not to obey? How can today's Wei Zhongxian be compared with him? As a result, Xu Jie and Yan Song have been in the same dynasty for more than 10 years, and they are cautious and good at catering to the emperor's wishes, so they can stay in power for a long time. He also endured humiliation and burden, established a dynasty to have a degree, preserved the good, and rescued many of the governments of Jia and Long;
In the end, Chang Wei said solemnly: "Brother Taichong, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and it is much more meaningful to leave it to be useful to learn from Xu Jie, than to be determined by Donglin and give his life in vain!" )
