Chapter 97: Thirteen Taibao (Part 1)

After untiing Zhu Youcheng's heart, Wei Zhongxian was very relieved and chatted with him about many idiotic things.

At the end, Wei Zhongxian said: "By the way, you had a dispute with the emperor last time, but the reward the emperor promised to give you was forgot to send to you. The emperor said that starting from this month, the clan mansion will give you salary, and pay it according to the prince's specifications. The emperor also said that he knew that you were the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and looked down on the salary, but this is his intention, so don't refuse. But you only pay the salary but not the title. Because once you are granted a title, you cannot participate in the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, which is a great loss for the emperor. By the way, there is another thing. The emperor asks me to ask you, why hasn't Feng Menglong come to see you after a few days?"

Zhu Youcheng said: "Mr. Feng has left the Jinyiwei station of the Imperial Village in the West of Jing and came to the Children's Playground, but he was dragged by A Jian. Now, he is still telling stories to him. You go back with the emperor, and when the next teacher arrives, Feng Menglong can go to see him. I have sent someone to Jiangnan to hire a teacher, and I will be back in a month or two, and Mr. Feng can leave at that time. The emperor loves A Jian and will definitely not be angry. By the way, I am idle anyway, so I will just let Mr. Feng start writing "The Sound of the Wind in Donglin". Next time you take the evidence of Donglin collected by the East Factory and I will give Mr. Feng a reference."

"No need to send someone to Dongchang to pick it up next time."

Wei Zhongxian immediately sent someone to the Dongchang to collect the confession and related materials of the Donglin Party. After half an hour, the goods were delivered, and there were as many as two sacks.

The two asked someone to carry the materials and went to see Feng Menglong together.

Feng Menglong was telling a story to Zhu Youjian, and it seemed that the master and apprentice were very close.

Seeing the two sacks of materials held by the guard behind, Feng Menglong looked bitter and said, "Mr. Zhu, spare me. When I wrote "The Laundry Singer in the Laundry Court", the materials I read were still entangled with me, making me have nightmares often. The beastly nature and cruelty of the Jin people, and the tragic experiences of the Song people, always linger in my heart."

"Don't worry, this time it's not a crime of the Jin people, but a material and evidence of the Donglin Party. The emperor wants you to write a new script - "The Wind of Donglin", which will reveal the true face of the Donglin Party's full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and a thief and prostitute, so that all the people in the Ming Dynasty can see it clearly."

"Yes, yes, the Donglin Party is the worst. It dares to rebel and force the emperor's brother to death..." Zhu Youjian said nothing, and was about to cry when he suddenly remembered that this matter seemed not very honorable, so he hurriedly covered his little mouth with his hands, which was so cute.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian learned to be a honored person, Zhu Youcheng secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Zhu Youjian was very happy when he was praised by Brother Cheng, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I also hate the Donglin Party members. I bought books I wrote one by one, but scolded me so much that it was worthless. Humph, don't read the books I wrote if you have the ability." Feng Menglong has been at the bottom of society for a long time and has no good feelings for the Donglin Party members. "I love to write such books, and I don't want to touch those Song and Jin affairs."

"Don't touch these things, it does not mean that these tragic things have never happened. If you are not my race, your heart will be different. Those who are greedy for the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty will be cruel. If the Ming Dynasty is not strong, these things will happen in the future. Mr. Feng's task is to strengthen our Ming Dynasty soul and alert the people of the Ming Dynasty to not waste their martial spirit in a comfortable environment."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "The emperor is attracted by your unique skills and has aroused the desire to attract others. Don't let the emperor down."

Feng Menglong thought for a long time and said, "Forget it, forgot, I'm willing to give it my best, I'm alone in suffering, and happiness will be the Ming Dynasty. For the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty, I admit it."

Everyone laughed, and Wei Zhongxian said, "I have never seen an official position as the head of the Ministry of Rites who has to make such a great determination. Who is not rushing to ask for an official position?"

Feng Menglong was surprised and said, "The head of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor wants to appoint me, a person who has never had any fame and fortune, as the head of the Ministry of Rites?"

The Ministry of Rites has little power, but it is vaguely the head of the six ministries. The Ministry of Rites is a civil servant of the sixth rank. It seems that the emperor really admires Feng Menglong very much and gives him such an important position.

"Yes, the emperor did say so. He would have to take office these days, but Prince Xin forced himself to stay. You have to wait a few days before you can get it."

"It's delayed your future. I, Mr. Zhu, on behalf of Ajian, apologized to Mr. Feng." Zhu Youcheng said.

"It's okay, it's okay, but has the teacher of Prince Xin found it?"

"I have sent someone to invite you. You may know this person, Ling Mengchu from Zhejiang."

Feng Menglong laughed: "Mr. Zhu, if you said you didn't find a teacher just now, who would I recommend to you? It's Ling Mengchu. Xin Wang is talented and has a wide range of hobbies. If you leave it to a corrupt scholar to teach, you will only teach a sour scholar. Although Ling Mengchu and I are not good at scientific examinations, they are open-minded, but can enlighten the wisdom of Xin Wang. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the prince is not allowed to take scientific examinations, and it doesn't matter whether we believe in the king or not to learn the eight-legged articles. Lord Zhu - we are really heroes who have the same views."

Ling Mengchu and Feng Menglong were contemporary people. They were both famous writers in the late Ming Dynasty. They had the same bad luck in the exam and did not pass the Jinshi in their entire lives. However, Ling Mengchu was a little younger than Feng Menglong. Feng Menglong wrote "Three Words" - "Melody of the Shi Mingyan", "Cake of the Shi Tongyan", and Ling Mengchu wrote "Erpai" - "Chu Ke Pai'an Surprise", "Er Caician Surprise", and their works were collectively called "San Yan Er Pai". These two were both propaganda teams for the future Chongzhen Dynasty decided by Zhu Youcheng.

------------------

Three days later, Wei Zhongxian treated him to a luxury house in Tieshizi Hutong, and the guests were Wei Zhongxian's filial sons and grandchildren.

When I heard that my godfather or my godfather was treating me, this group of shameless people immediately became excited, prepared heavy gifts, prepared a lot of flattery, and prepared to make a big splash at the banquet, making the factory manager Wei Zhongxian smile, and could make progress in his current position.

Wei Zhongxian is like all eunuchs, but Wei Zhongxian also has something different from other eunuchs, that is, he is very good at being a human being and treats his own people very generously, whether it is power, official position, or other aspects.

Wei Zhongxian's banquet was famous for its delicacies and delicacies. There were only foods you could not have found. Several officials from the Qingshui Yamen even did something very unambitious, but they actually came in with the wall and prepared to go out with the wall later. It turned out that they heard that Wei Zhongxian was hungry for several days and were preparing to have a special meal. They couldn't stand it and walked home with the wall.

The food was served, and all the officials did not dare to move their chopsticks because the factory owner had not spoken yet, so how could they move around?

Seeing Wei Zhongxian coming to the table, the filial sons and grandchildren quickly welcomed him. They flattered him and praised the factory as nothing in the sky and only in the world. Wei Zhongxian's old face was full of smiles.

Wei Zhongxian stood up, pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll call you here today, mainly to break away from your relationship with you, such as your father and son, and your grandparents."

When the filial sons and grandchildren heard this, they immediately pushed away the stool, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

A godson burst into tears, and it looked really affectionate. The only thing that was the beauty was that the smell at the corners of his eyes was not very pleasant. When he approached him, a garlic smell came to his nose. He cried, "Father, why did you abandon your son? Heaven and earth are not as close to you, you are not as close to you, your father; heaven and earth are not as close to you, your father. If you abandon me, how can I live?"

A grandson wiped the tears that did not exist and said, "The sun is the redest in the sky, and the grandfather is the closest on the ground. If you don't want your grandson, I'll kill you."

After saying that, he rushed towards a big pillar with his hands behind him, hoping that someone would pull him, but unfortunately everyone was anxious to show their loyalty, and no one paid attention to him. He had to slowly approach the pillar, put his hands on the pillar, and hit his arms with his hands. If he died, he would not die, but his arms were a little hurt.
