Chapter 68
After the four elders left, the four secretaries took a break. Dong Kun, Kong Jie and others surrounded Shang Tan, asking him if he knew about it before, and why didn't Mrs. Shang tell him?Does Lin Fangxu know something?
Shang Tan was irritated by several people, and now he could finally ask Lin Fangxu the same thing: "Dongsheng, did you get the news in advance? Did your grandfather tell you?"
Lin Fangxu laughed and said: "Heh..., what do you think? Do you think Master and the others would take the risk of leaking the news and write to me from all the way to tell me about such a big event? knew."
Shang Tan didn't disbelieve him, but he was a little frustrated, and said sullenly: "You said such a big thing, why did my grandfather keep silent, what should I do now? Those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River are afraid to I hate my grandfather."
Lin Fangxu also felt that he still didn't know the attitude of the Holy Majesty. If the Holy Majesty was really determined to investigate, it would not be as simple as hatred, and he might have to fight to the death.
Speaking of which, Dong Ge's old faction actually wants to eat people now, everyone is in the same circle, people of the same class, what things can't be resolved through private discussion?You didn't even say a word, just poked it out like this, why are you acting so unruly!
Zhao Songtao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a person who pays attention to rules and etiquette the most, and he said angrily: "The Lin family is really a bastard, according to the rules, the memorials of the envoys should be sent to the cabinet first, but he did such an outrageous thing! Shang Zhongyan is the same, this guy... Hey!"
The original intention of whoever obtains fame is not to glorify the ancestors, whoever is an official will not use his power to fight for the interests of the family, the family is the world, the family is the world... the family is always ranked before the country, this is not the default thing in the entire scholar circle what?
It's a pity... the reason why the unspoken rules are called unspoken rules is because he can't bring them up on the surface, so even if he hates Shang Zhongyan, Zhao Songtao is at a loss for words for a while, and doesn't know what language to use to abuse him.
Wang Qingyi, the Minister of Dali Temple, saw that he was there for a long time, saying useless things, and couldn't help but said: "Master Zhao, the Lin family's son is just taking advantage of the position. Shang Zhongyan has such a good disciple." , and now the paperwork has been handed over, so you say it’s useless?”
Zhao Songtao's rank is higher than him, and he has been in the second-rank department hall for so many years, so how could he listen to what he said, and immediately sneered with a cold face: "It's useless for me to say these things, but you should say something useful, Heh..., once some things are put on the table, they are man-made swords, we are in a fishy situation, what can we do now, it just depends on how the Holy Majesty wants to do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment. Dong Kun stood behind Dong Ge, feeling a little apprehensive, but he heard his grandfather say indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Now it's not like when the first emperor came to the throne, and everything is waiting to be done, okay?" It is easy to recover some vitality, who is really willing to overthrow it completely? Don't worry, even if you really want to cut the flesh and bloodlet, I will definitely leave some for you in the end, so that you won't kill them all."
After hearing this, Zhao Songtao was not relieved, but instead muttered with a pale face: "It's all a family property passed down from the ancestors, and it wasn't stolen or robbed, so just give it as you say."
Elder Dong Ge's expression changed, and he said with sharp eyes: "Why are you pretending to be stupid in front of this old man, the family business passed down from your ancestors? Eh...?! Go and ask the Holy One if you recognize your previous ancestor! Heh... ..., the old man has long advised you not to be too short-sighted, greedy and insufficient, do not know how to restrain yourself...!"
Wang Qingyi saw that Zhao Songtao's face was flushed by scolding, so he had to smooth things over and said: "Old Man Ge calm down, tomorrow the court meeting, we and other Jiangnan officials will still rely on the old man Ge for support, we must take care of our health, but according to the old man's opinion, tomorrow will be held. How should I deal with it?"
Elder Dong Ge calmed down at this time, his eyes were empty, and he sighed inexplicably: "Over the years, the capital camp has been trained quite effectively by the elder brother of the emperor. I am afraid that he is no longer afraid of enslavement, so..., everyone, Show your weakness first, and be prepared to cut your flesh and let your blood out, the Holy Majesty will not really leave no room for it."
Wang Qingyi and Zhao Songtao walked out of Dong's mansion and looked at each other.
After a while, they left separately. Mr. Dong Ge had lived in the capital for a long time, and he took it for granted. Who would obediently let others cut their flesh and bloodlet them?
Dong Ge was ready to cut his flesh and let blood out, but his old enemy was unwilling to make that knife.
Youdu Yushishu Yang Yan was the number one scholar in the first year of Hongwu, a truly poor boy, Mr. Kong Ge was his teacher and benefactor, but at this time he was blushing and asked his teacher thickly: "Teacher once I assisted the first emperor to drive the Mongolian slaves to the north. When he established the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty, he vowed to eliminate the country and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Now that someone has risked his life to tear off that layer of skin, why should the teacher hesitate? Or is the teacher also become with those people? Same, enjoy today's glory and wealth, have already forgotten the original oath?!"
Even though Kong Ge was so persecuted by him, he still didn't change his face and didn't respond to him, but Kong Jie couldn't stand it, and said with a serious face: "Uncle Yang is careful, grandfather has his own plans."
Yang Yan didn't take it seriously, and said in disappointment, "Master naturally has plans, hasn't he played tacitly with Dong Ge's old Tai Chi all these years? But no matter what the mentor plans, the student doesn't intend to let go this time. Yes, we must fight for it once, even if we don’t eradicate it, let them cut their flesh and blood!”
Yang Yan seemed to believe that he and his mentor had already disagreed, and it would be useless to say more. After expressing his attitude, he left the Confucian Mansion alone, intending to go back and seriously think about what he would say in the court meeting tomorrow.
After he left, Tian Hong, the minister of the Ministry of War, who had been silent for a long time, thought about it: "My lord, Brother Yang has a straightforward personality. I'm afraid this time he will really be ruined. Don't you need to stop him?"
Kong Ge sighed and said: "Let him go, he has been aggrieved all these years, presumably you are the same as him, very disappointed in this old man, right?"
Tian Hong seemed to have been told something on his mind, and said with a sneer: "No...no, how dare you, my lord must have planned it long ago."
Kong Ge naturally didn't believe his perfunctory words, and said with a wry smile: "You should be disappointed, I really don't have the courage before. I used to be alone, and the ups and downs were just the same thing. Now it's different. There are people behind me. Not to mention a family, and a large group of colleagues like you who are closely related to each other, if the old man is desperate and finally collapses, what will the people behind him do?"
When Tian Hong thought of his parents, wife and children living under his protection, he also felt sympathetic and felt powerless, but he heard Kong Ge continue: "I wanted to stay in the cabinet safely for another two years. After the incident at the court, I went back to my hometown to farm, heh..., it's a pity that the Holy Majesty didn't intend to just let the old man go away like this?"
It was the first time for Kong Jie to hear his grandfather utter these helpless words, and he felt very sad, his eyes were moist, but he saw his grandfather's face turned serious, and his momentum suddenly rose. picture.No……!It should be said that Uncle Yang's aura is less than half that of his grandfather's.
Only Kong Ge said loudly: "Since the Holy Majesty is determined to use this knife this time, what's the point of making a sharp blade again when I'm old?"
Tian Hong was startled by Kong Ge's old aura, but suddenly thought that brother Yang who left was indeed a master and apprentice. After feeling emotional, he wondered: "Then why didn't you tell brother Yang just now? If you told him, you wouldn't ..."
But Kong Ge relaxed, waved his hands and smiled and said: "You don't need to tell him, it's good for Feng Jin to check on the attitude of the Holy One first, and always know what step the Holy One wants us to do, and don't go too deep with the knife at that time , cut it off first."
As for Mr. Kong Ge's treacherous and cunning posture, it is estimated that it will not be easily broken. At this time, Mr. Li Ge has already torn off several beards, and said to the Ministry of Industry with a frown: "This time, I am afraid that the attitude of the Holy One will be broken." If you can't handle it with care, you don't know which step to take? Hey..., it's going to be uneasy again."
Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Li Gelao are from Sichuan and the other is from Shanxi. The hidden land miscellaneous taxes in the south of the Yangtze River have nothing to do with them, but they are afraid that the Holy Majesty will let them investigate. It is not impossible to offend such a huge interest group and cause harm to future generations.
As far as Mr. Guan Ge is concerned, the worries of Mr. Li Ge and Mrs. Li are superfluous, and he is very relaxed, and he is still in the mood to invite the Minister of the Ministry of Households to drink the Dragon Well that he just got.
, looking at the tea leaves swirling in the water, said with emotion: "West Lake Longjing... I'm afraid this land in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for him to grow. I wonder if Mr. Dong Ge can still sleep at this time?"
Sun Kang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was not as confident as he was, and said with some concern: "Your official thinks that the people who are finally sent to deal with this matter will not be able to sleep? Those people's power in Jiangnan has long been unshakable, so it's not like they can be rectified if they are rectified." Yes, if you offend so many people in the end, the Holy One will definitely not be satisfied if you can’t get better or worse, so don’t you worry about it at all?”
Mr. Guan Ge put down his glass and said with a smile, "What am I worried about? And it's not my turn. The Holy Majesty has already made arrangements, so we don't have to be too active. Let's play by ear."
Sun Kang was a little enlightened, and he stopped asking questions, because he was lucky compared to the two ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment. At least someone had a few words, and those two had already prepared to speak according to the situation. After all, they didn't have the courage to ask the prince who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishments to ask something.
When the civil servants were discussing together in the middle of the night, most of the military officers who had also received the news had already gone to bed with nothing to do with their own business, except for a few adults from the Marquis of Wu'an's residence who were still gathered in the main hall.
Marquis Wu'an was a little annoyed and said: "Hey... why didn't my father-in-law tell me in advance, I can also help deliver the memorial. Civil and martial arts have nothing to do with them, and they can't do anything to me. Boy Lin is of low rank and family background Not obvious, in case of retaliation, losing an official is a trivial matter, if you lose your life, wouldn't you make Xiao Yun a widow?"
Jiang Shiyun said unhappily: "Father, don't talk nonsense, you just handed over a memorial, and there is no possibility that anything will happen to him later, you might as well worry more about your grandfather!"
Shang Daoyu was already very anxious at this time, he himself was born in the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't know about those people, but at this moment he could only grit his teeth and say: "This old and young is really worrying!"
The old man far away in Hangzhou ate an extra piece of red bean cake for supper, and fell asleep contentedly. The young man in the capital, at this time, sent Shang Tan, who had figured it out and was in a relaxed mood, to the door, and said happily before parting. : "Brother Xiansi, let's watch the fun honestly and quietly tomorrow. In two days, Xiumu will invite Brother Da Rong and the others to drink together, and some will show off. We have participated in court meetings, hahaha..."
