Chapter 685 I have never seen such a shameless person!
North Yamen officials generally have a schadenfreude mentality regarding the suffering of Nanya officials. Everyone has their own sufferings, but King Lu’s suffering can wait until His Majesty returns to Beijing to rescue him, while Nanya’s sufferings It is systemic suffering from which there is no possibility of relief.
Because His Majesty the Emperor is using violent means to split up Nanya, the remaining capital of Nanya in the future will only be superficial.
Before the split of Nanya, the capital was not just a mere appearance, but a substantial capital. Not only the six yamen were included, but the most important thing was the richest fourteenth government as the basic In many cases, the North Yamen also has to consider the public opinion of the South Yamen.
Now, Nanya has been demolished.
"Your Majesty, regarding the pursuit of fines, I believe that after imposing fines of the same scale, we should also deprive ourselves of our official status and be dismissed from our honors." Hai Rui, as the Great Ming Sword, showed his radical nature at this time. , do it to the end, these people must be killed no matter what, beheading, exiled, deprived of their official status and dismissed, they must be killed politically.
These treasury officials themselves are also scapegoats. They are not willing to test the wrath of the real dragon, but the past interests have forced them to this step.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in Nanya, and the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty is on the side. No matter how bold these warehouse managers are, they have to consider the emperor's face. The reason why they are so bold is that once the Yingtian Treasury is burned, the Thirteenth House will be destroyed. The whole treasury was burned, just like Zhu Bajie divided his luggage, he divided his property as soon as the team dispersed, all because someone was pushing them forward.
There was a miscellaneous newspaper in Beiya of the Ming Dynasty that mainly satirized officialdom called "Niehai Zabao". It once published a four-frame satirical cartoon. Luck is trapped in a well, and once you are promoted, you will be successful and rise to the top, but at the end of the day, you will end up in jail and regret later.
The most typical of these four-frame satirical cartoons is the protagonist on the screen, with more and more hands behind him. From his family looking forward to being named on the gold medal list, to top-down suppression, and then to promotions At that time, some people showed mercy and protection, but when he was finally imprisoned, he became a scapegoat.
The hands behind them are pushing them forward. These hands are the intertwined interest groups and the power that makes people unable to turn back.
This miscellaneous newspaper called the officialdom the sea of evil, and believed that anyone who entered the officialdom was guilty of serious sins. However, the imperial court did not restrict this miscellaneous newspaper from beginning to end, and even Zhu Yili did not embarrass this miscellaneous newspaper. meaning, because they, like Lin Fucheng, told the truth.
Officialdom is the sea of evil.
The Nanya treasury bureaucrats were introduced as scapegoats. They could only use themselves to test the emperor.
If you don’t pay a fine of double the size, you will face exile. Waste is reused to open up Java. If you pay the fine, there is no possibility of recovery.
"That's right, if I don't come, they will be arrogant and do good without any punishment. But if I come, they will still do arrogant and do good without any punishment. Then isn't my coming here in vain?" Zhu Yijun agreed. Hai Rui's suggestion.
Would the officials of Nanya be so helpless and ready to give up? Of course not, it is reasonable to spit out what you eat. After all, you have stolen the property of the old Zhu family. It is natural for the emperor to be angry. Everyone is under violence and remains silent. But when the emperor issued an order to impose a fine, he It immediately caused an uproar in Shilin. People said everything, mainly because they thought it was unreasonable.
Nan Ya’s debate began.
Zhu Yijun ignored these speculative opinions and still urged the Tiqi to press them. The fine must be paid, and it would be impossible not to pay.
So much so that Nan Ya Si Cai had some doubts about the emperor's motives. Some people even firmly believed that the Ming Emperor's behavior was not only to promote the split of Nan Ya, but also for money!
This suspicion is very reasonable. The Ming Dynasty will start construction of the Chi Road from Kaifeng Prefecture to Jiayuguan in June. The budget for this Chi Road is already 30 million silver, and the emperor is so eager to ask for it just for the sake of money.
When the national treasury was empty, it was necessary to find someone to suck blood, and the wealthy Nanya became the emperor's target. The emperor's southern tour was simply to rob families and homes.
This idea is not right, but it is not bad.
Zhu Yijun swore that the use of violent means to redistribute wealth was just a incidental matter. The main motive of this southern tour was to break up Nanya. As for why it turned out like this in execution, I can only say, He didn't expect things to unfold in this direction.
Things are unpredictable.
"Xu Guangqi, Lin Fucheng, Li Zhi and others will hold a gathering in the Fuxi Building in Nanya in the afternoon. Does your Majesty want to go and see it?" Feng Bao asked about His Majesty's schedule.
Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi are naturally on the list of retinues. They are doctors of the Five Classics of the fifth grade. They still have an unfinished subject, the alienation of money from people. This time Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi are going to follow The liberal faction in Nanya held a meeting, which was more of a show-off than a meeting.
Bei Ya is the stronghold of the limited liberals, while Nan Ya is the stronghold of the absolute liberals. This time Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi came to visit.
"I'm still waiting for Tiqi's memorial to hear about the fine. What are they talking about this time? If it's not interesting, I won't go." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and handed over the memorial. He handed it to Feng Bao. There were some memorials that the emperor needed to read in person. There were not many of them, at most two or three a day.
“The topic of the discussion is, offering and stopping offering.” Feng Bao told the emperor the topic of discussion this time.
"Oh?" Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Tishuai is busy with fines. I'm going. Won't I cause trouble for the Tiqi?"
"Chen Mo is watching, Ti. The commander-in-chief will protect His Majesty, and Fuxi Building is the property of Huangzhuang." Feng Bao quickly explained that there would be no mistakes in security. After all, Nanya is not Beiya. If His Majesty is captured by someone in Nanya, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Fuxi Tower, originally called Yanxi Tower, was a serious imperial palace. However, due to the construction of Nanhu Bieyuan Palace, Yanxi Tower was unable to receive the emperor and was eventually downgraded to Fuxi Tower.
The prefix "Yan" cannot be used in any restaurant. It is not worthy of use if it does not entertain the emperor.
"Then let's go and have a look." Zhu Yijun was busy with the dog fighting in the court, and he hadn't seen such excitement for a long time. He had nothing to do today, so he might as well take a look.
Fuxi Building was originally built to accommodate the emperor. There are five Zhongfu Buildings on the left, right and front, with a total of five floors. Each floor is connected by a corridor. It is undoubtedly the first restaurant in Nanya, and its scale is not the same. Lost to Yanxing Tower in Beiya.
When Zhu Yijun arrived at Fuxi Tower, it was a good time. There was a player in the south of the Yangtze River who was singing in the building. This player was recognized as an oiran by the Qinhuai River. Playing and singing can increase one's fame, being good at dancing, and having some relationship with famous Confucian scholars in Jiangnan, but no one can have a good relationship with him, and only sell the main one for a price.
The reason why this oiran dares to do this is because she is from the Duke of Wei's Palace. To be precise, the Duke of Wei's Palace also deals in these fireworks world. This oiran is not even a sign bought and trained by the brothel under the Duke of Wei's Palace, but He was from the Duke of Wei, so he was able to move among many scholars.
Can this oiran really marry a high-ranking man? Hard to say.
After all, Qian Qianyi married Liu Rushi.
"The surname of the woman singing this song is Gu, and her first name is Meisheng. She is from a Suzhou embroidery family. However, her family fell into decline, and her father sold her to a Yangzhou Renya shop. Once, the Duke of Wei wanted to buy a maid, and the old lady saw that Gu Meisheng liked her and bought her. Now that she is just eighteen years old, she is already famous as Qin Huai and has unparalleled talent." Feng Bao introduced the graceful woman downstairs.
Although he was wearing a draped hat to cover his face, his figure was obvious at first glance, but the half-covered haziness actually aroused people's curiosity.
Zhu Yijun unscrewed the kettle he brought, took a sip of water, and asked with a smile: "Did Xu Bangrui arrange it?"
"Your Majesty really has a sharp eye!" Feng Bao didn't hide it either. , it was not a coincidence that Gu Meisheng appeared in Fuxi Building at this time. Xu Bangrui deliberately made it, and he spent a lot of effort to lobby Feng Bao.
Feng Bao also didn’t want to hide it from the emperor at all. The identity of the Duke of Wei was there, so he couldn’t hide it.
“Actually, the old lady of Duke Wei’s palace recognized this girl as her daughter and did not want her to be in public all the time. As for Gu Meisheng, her status is neither high nor low, and she is arrogant and arrogant, so she is not willing to accept others. It's better to just enter the palace." Feng Bao explained the plans of the Duke of Wei.
In fact, it is to present a beauty to the emperor. As for whether the emperor wants it or not, it depends on the emperor's wishes.
"Gu Meisheng is good at Suzhou embroidery. He is known as the god of needles. He also plays the pipa well and is good at playing good music. He is also known as Qusheng. He can also paint birds, beasts, insects and fish. He can be said to be She is lifelike, not inferior to Song Huizong." Feng Bao introduced this woman's talents, and Wei Guogong really trained her as a daughter.
Why show your face? In fact, it is just to marry into a good family. After all, she is just a foster daughter. To put it nicely, she is an adopted daughter, and to put it worse, she is just a maid.
Feng Bao is the flower and bird envoy, who is responsible for finding flowers for His Majesty. It is normal for feudal emperors to leave behind some legends of romantic affairs when they visited the south.
The plan of the Duke of Wei's mansion is to flatter the emperor, and to present a beauty to the emperor. It is also to find a home for Gu Meisheng. Duke Wei has been in Nanya for more than two hundred years. The final fate of many famous characters along the Qinhuai River cannot be said to be a good word. Even if She married into a wealthy family, but ended up being a miserable woman.
After entering the emperor's eyes and entering the palace, he lived a peaceful and happy life.
Feng Bao no longer recommends too much. Talking too much will annoy people.
Gu Meisheng obviously knew who he was going to play and sing for this time, so he was a little nervous, but he still played the pipa. After adjusting the tone, the sound of big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate sounded in the building, and everyone All fell silent.
The melody was gentle and sad. Gu Meisheng made a stroke, and the melody suddenly became a bit more solemn.
"In the midst of Jiajing, the Japanese invaders broke out, and all living beings were suffocated with charcoal and blood. The air was filled with smoke and no human traces could be found. The Great Sima, Zhang Mengxi, recruited 3,000 talented people, and the camp was called Zhenwu, Jiao and Fierce; the waves were surging and fierce, Zhenwu The Japanese invaders are coming to invade Yanqi, and the Japanese pirates dare to act cruelly!" As soon as Gu Meisheng opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.
This Gu Meisheng is actually singing about the Zhenwuying Mutiny. Zhang Mengxi is Zhang Ao. Mengxi is Zhang Ao’s nickname. This section is about recruiting troops to fight against the Japanese.
Gu Meisheng’s song is from the perspective of a wife in Zhenwuying, telling her husband’s worries during the war and the plight of the family without rice and food. She used a long length to describe the achievements of Zhenwuying. , like Zhejiang Jiuying, fought in the war against Japanese invaders. After the Japanese invasion gradually subsided, Zhenwuying began to patrol against floods.
On February 25, the 39th year of the Jiajing reign, there were many hornets nesting in the Zhenwu Camp. It was said to be an auspicious expedition. The soldiers had long-standing backlogs of arrears of pay, reduced pay, and the seizure of wives and houses. Yue Liang's anger began to explode, and a mutiny occurred.
Huang Maoguan, the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, was killed.
The wasp's nest actually symbolizes the yellow nest. The minister Huang Maoguan actually fell to death by himself, but in the memorial to the court, in order to set off the madness of the Zhenwu Camp soldiers, Huang Maoguan was killed.
Huang Maoguan heard about the mutiny and burned all the account books in the camp before the soldiers arrived. Then he jumped from the third floor. Originally, he could not die on the third floor, but what a coincidence, his forehead He fell on the stone and died completely.
What’s more interesting is that in this libretto, Gu Meisheng directly scolded Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei at that time, as a straw bag because Xu Pengju was forced by the soldiers, ‘call all the soldiers my master, shouting! Fa Lin! ’ It was Xu Pengju who promised to send money.
But after Xu Pengju climbed over the wall and escaped, he directly took 100,000 silver and put a reward on the heads of the mutineers.
It seems that he is flexible and capable, but in fact he just scolded him for not keeping his word and defrauding the soldiers by saying that he would give money. After escaping, he immediately turned his back and refused to recognize anyone.
Gu Meisheng soon finished singing the entire song, and the ending was naturally not happy. The soldiers did not get the money that was supposed to belong to them, nor did they get monthly rations for their wives and children. Even the Zhenwu Camp was disbanded. The heroine in Gu Meisheng's song also had her child starve to death. After her husband died, the woman jumped into the river and became a lonely ghost, crying all day and night by the river. "Xingwen and Wu demons are popular, and weeping in the tombs of loyal people who serve the country. They all say that God is fair and honest. Where is God's justice? I only see that person who is kind and is bullied by others." Gu Meisheng ended his song with a quick piece of music.
Zhu Yijun tilted his head and asked: "What is the name of this play?"
"Owl complaint." Feng Bao said quickly, Zhenwu Camp from the perspective of a woman. The rise and fall of glory and disgrace.
Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this was not arranged by Gu Meisheng, it actually happened. People in Zhenwuying died and others escaped. The fate of his wife and son was very different. They ended up like this. ”
"If these children in Zhenwuying could grow up, I would hate the Ming Dynasty as much as I think about what they think of the imperial court." Zhu Yijun exhaled. It is hard to imagine how much these children will hate the Ming Dynasty imperial court when they grow up. Their father was a hero in their eyes, but within a few years, he turned into a street rat that everyone yelled at and beat. These children would not have any expectations for so-called justice.
The past is in the past, we can only look to the future.
Feng Bao actually wanted to say that it would be difficult for these children to grow up.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Gu Meisheng and said calmly: "You sang well, reward me."
It's not a big reward, it's ten silver coins, and it can't be more. Gu Meisheng is a reward from your majesty. The first Baiyi artist, the emperor never wasted money on this, it was all for the sake of the Duke of Wei.
In fact, this also represents the emperor's attitude towards this beauty. He will not accept her into the palace. If he has some ideas, he will invite her to see her and see how she looks.
No matter how nice it is, the courtesan is also a prostitute, and Zhu Yijun will not let such a woman enter the palace. King Lu likes beauties from all over the world, which has given Queen Mother Li a huge headache.
Gu Meisheng is a famous actor. Today, when he was playing and singing in Fuxi Tower, he was presented with countless flower baskets on stage just after singing. Each of these flower baskets cost one hundred silver, and ten of them together cost eleven hundred silver. Not only will there be no discount if you buy more, but you will also have to pay extra.
Gu Meisheng didn’t care about these flower baskets. She had seen many of them. She kept waiting until all the flower baskets were taken away. A man dressed as a servant presented ten silver coins. At this time, Gu Meisheng couldn't hide her disappointment. She knew that the ten pieces of silver were sent by the person she cared about the most.
This is a reward, not a declaration. The fate ends here.
Gu Meisheng stood up, bowed as a farewell, and then got off the stage.
After Gu Meisheng stepped down, the atmosphere became solemn. Master Lin Fucheng, who always liked to be late, was not late, but appeared at Fuxi Tower on time, waiting for the opening.
This time, Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi are the ones coming.
What is more surprising is that Xu Guangqi also sat with Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi. Regarding freedom, Xu Guangqi more recognized Lin Fucheng's theory of limited freedom.
A young man in Confucian robes stood up. He looked elegant, holding a folding fan in his hand. He walked up to the stage, looked around, and then said: "I heard that Master Lin was fighting against the group in Beiya tongue. Confucianism, no one dares to confront Master Lin, and presumably, with Wang Qian's support, everyone will naturally avoid his edge."
Wang Qian is Wang Chonggu's only son. This Confucian scholar directly attacked Lin Fucheng when he came up. It was only because he was a rich and powerful person that he gained his reputation today. This was a fact, and Lin Fucheng never shied away from talking about it.
"That's a good thing to say. This scholar has always been very strict and unwilling to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful. A mere prince made the scholars in Beiya dumbfounded. Are you scolding me? Or should I criticize Beiya Shilin? Or should I criticize the scholars all over the world?" Lin Fucheng stood up and walked onto the stage, a little lazy, even a little dismissive.
The scholars in Beiya even dared to scold the emperor! Just Wang Qian can stop someone's mouth?
Is this a scolding of Lin Fucheng, a powerful person, or a scolding of the scholars in Beiya who have no integrity?
Then the emperor is now in Nanya, and the emperor does not pay according to the rules, and no scholars of Nanya come out to speak out. Does it mean that the scholars of Nanya also have no integrity?
When arguing with others, Lin Fu never lost.
Lin Fucheng bowed to the surroundings and said with a smile: "Originally, I thought that Nanya was the place of Wenchang, but I didn't realize that the first sentence I said was not closely related to today's issue. But he scolded me as a person, which really opened my eyes.”
When discussing academics, discuss academics. When it comes to background, who here doesn’t have a background?
"I am Gao Panlong, from Wuxi." Gao Panlong replied angrily. Lin Fucheng was indeed difficult to deal with. He was very articulate and eloquent. He was able to fight him in just a few words. Get up, there is no way to discuss the subject of this rich and powerful person.
"The talented Lin Fucheng, who first came to your place, made everyone laugh. I, Lin Fucheng, also went to Songjiang Prefecture from Beiya. I am not a scholar of Beiya." Lin Fucheng changed the topic and addressed Gao Pan. Long Yijun, he is from Songjiang Prefecture, he went to Beijing from Songjiang Prefecture, and now he has been expelled from the list of southern scholars. It is really strange.
“Let’s talk about today’s issue, and stop rambling on.” Gao Panlong was shocked when he heard that, and then he remembered that Lin Fucheng went to Beiya from Songjiang Prefecture, and Li Zhi went to Beiya from Fujian. Yamen, can not be regarded as Northern Yamen scholars.
Gao Panlong held his hands and said: "The trend of stopping donations has always existed since Hu Yuan joined the invaders. Its existence is reasonable. Since it has existed for more than three hundred years, it naturally has its reason."< br>
The trend of banning donations did not start from the early Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yuanzhang was not allowed to serve as an official. Ever since the Southern Song Dynasty court surrendered to Kublai Khan, this trend of banning donations has been on the rise. The barbarian emperor was not allowed to serve as an official. , and later he did not serve as an official for the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Yijun smiled. It is a common trick used by Confucians to confuse the public and mix concepts together. The trend of stopping investment and dedication when Hu Yuan came to the Central Plains, and the anti-investment and dedication established since the early Ming Dynasty. Zhifeng is not the same thing at all, but Gao Panlong mixed them together and compared them.
This is a base Confucianism.
After Hu Yuan took control of the Central Plains, he stopped the trend of surrender, and most of them were direct rebellions. After the Yuan Dynasty had been in Zuo for a hundred years, they rebelled against the Yuan and restored the Song Dynasty for a hundred years. This was a real down-to-earth practice by the scholar-bureaucrats. These bastards Ru is also embarrassed to put gold on his face.
"What's the point?" Lin Fucheng was not in a hurry to attack and asked with a smile.
"Take the Zhenwuying sung by everyone Gu as an example. This Zhenwuying surrendered to the imperial court. What happened to it? Everyone has seen it." Gao Panlong said sadly: "For the country During the war, he ended up crying in a grave, his son starved to death, and his wife threw herself into the river. How sad!"
Zhu Yijun's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at Gao Panlong and said: "Feng Daban, you are so sad! Look at this bastard, he is trying to blame the cause! What is the tragedy of Zhenwu Ying? Doesn’t Gu Meisheng understand? He is a murderer, and he blames me and the court for this! "
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
"If I were on the stage, I would punch him hard in the face! The Qi family sword came and took off his head, bah!"
Zhu Yijun was somewhat impressed by this Gao Panlong. He was one of the eight great gentlemen of Donglin and the founder of Donglin Academy. Gao Panlong These rhetoric aggravated Zhu Yijun's stereotype of the Donglin Party.
What a bunch of cheap Confucians!
"Isn't this just referring to a deer as a horse?" Feng Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead. At the border of Nanya, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty came with the capital camp. In nine years, what interference can the court make?
"Oh? What do you think we should do?" Lin Fucheng was not panicked at all and still did not attack. Instead, he asked Gao Panlong about the solution.
Since Zhenwu Ying surrendered and ended up like this, the solution to the problem is to stop the practice of surrendering. This is very reasonable.
Lin Fucheng has a habit of debating. Let the other party finish what he said, let the other party express his words clearly, and then refute.
Old God Gao Panlong said earnestly: "I want to make money from within."
"The most important thing in the world today is to respect Confucianism, eliminate punishment, make speeches to the court, use remonstrances to ministers, All the wealth in the world is collected from the internal funds and becomes the private property of the family. The imperial government's national funds are empty. The internal funds can be slowed down. The mutiny in Zhenwu Camp and now the mutiny in Zhejiang Nine Camps are all caused by the reduction of pay, aren't they? If we were willing to release internal funds, would this have happened?”
Gao Panlong’s views have caused a lot of discussion. There are many supporters and few opponents. At first glance, what Gao Panlong said makes sense.
Lin Fucheng thought for a while and said: "Okay, it's settled. Since you think I am a scholar from Beiya, then let's let the scholars in the north and the south work together to make noise about this incident. How is the public opinion about using internal funds to support the army? "
Li Zhi was a veteran in officialdom. He was stunned for a moment. Lin Fucheng's words made no sense. This internal money can be used to send money to the army. It's weird in the hands of soldiers!
But soon, Li Zhi understood Lin Fucheng's true intention.
In the utopia built by Lin Fucheng, it is a world where materials are highly abundant and it is meaningless to strip away materials. Before it develops to this level, there is no absolute freedom, and there is a need for a society that overrides all societies. The power above the class rules.
Obviously, the clamor has really become true. The money in the internal funds is not important. The emperor, who has complete control of the military power, can do whatever he wants.
With the knife in hand, you can have as much silver as you want.
"Wait a minute!" Gao Panlong immediately stretched out his hand. He felt something was wrong. Could it be that Lin Fucheng really had a false reputation and surrendered in just a few words? He quickly realized something was wrong. After thinking about it for a moment, Gao Panlong immediately started sweating!
If you really agree to Lin Fucheng, it will be really bad. If this thing can't be done, it's better to say that if it is done, all the two million soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will really have the surname Zhu. You must know that now Beijing The battalion's 100,000 men and the Nanya Navy's 100,000 men have already frightened everyone!
When the time comes, isn’t the emperor going to do whatever he wants?
Although no one knows the income of the Ming Emperor, we can still make some guesses. He can afford to support the army, but it’s okay if he can’t. With a single order, he wants to seize all the power. What? Now that we have everything, when the time comes and there is a world-wide extortion of wages, who will end it?
"I think you are right to use internal funds. I am a fifth-grade doctor of the Five Classics. I wrote memorials when I came back from Fuxi Tower. While His Majesty was in Nanya, the scholars of Nanya came from You are responsible, and we will try to let His Majesty know the public opinion within a few days." Lin Fucheng stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Master Lin, wait a minute, we are just having a chat, why bother playing Wentian Ting, it won't be, it won't be." Gao Panlong is a little numb, this Lin Fucheng's style of play is really It's unpredictable.
Lin Fucheng then stopped and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you want to release the internal funds? Is there any problem with how to release the internal funds?"
"The internal funds are His Majesty's private funds. The Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, so why does your Majesty need to put in internal funds? That’s what I said, let’s not mention it for the time being.” Gao Panlong refuted his point of view.
Zhu Yijun burst out laughing in the Tianzihao box. This cheap Confucian actually knew how to be afraid of criticism from weapons.
Lin Fucheng's style of play today is to make the opponent deny his point of view.
