Eunuch Wei was busy collecting money to do major tasks in Beijing. When he went to Southeast Asia with sharpening his knife, Xiuwu's grand canal, Li Sancai, the grandfather of Xiuwu, was supported by the railings of the pavilion by the river, looking lonely at the cargo ships traveling south and north.
"Daofu gave a message, whether to leave or not? If you don't learn the temple blessings, there is no place for you to stand in the capital. The matter of the imperial tombs and trees has already made Your Majesty unhappy. The traitor and the rebellion of the small disasters are lured from the east. Could it be that you will fall into it when you really want your uncle?" Standing beside Li Sancai was a white-haired old man, who was one of the senior veterans of the Kaishan Mountains in Donglin and was in charge of the former official department.
Zou Yuanbiao was very experienced in the Donglin Party. He was admitted to the Ministry of Justice to observe government affairs as early as the fifth year of Wanli. His teacher was a Jinshi during the Jiajing period and served as a censor in Guangdong and Fujian. However, Hu Zhi was a disciple of Ouyang De, a disciple of Wang Shouren. Therefore, Zou Yuanbiao was actually a disciple of Wang Shouren, a master of the mind science master.
In his early years, Zou Yuanbiao was demoted to Guizhou for opposing Zhang Juzheng's seizure of love and was exiled for six years. After Zhang Juzheng's death, he was reinstated as a minister of the official department. Later, he offended the chief minister Shen Shixing and was transferred to the head of the Ministry of War. Later, he was dismissed from his post due to illness and simply returned to his hometown to give lectures. He met Gu Xiancheng and founded Donglin Academy with him.
During this period, Donglin Party generals Zou Yuanbiao, Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing were called "Three Lords".
Since he was dismissed from office in the 18th year of Wanli, Zou Yuanbiao has not gone north for twenty years. This time he suddenly came to Tongzhou, in fact, to save the party.
Since the Imperial Tomb Wood Incident, not only Li Sancai was in a difficult situation, but Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, was even more difficult. Although the palace had all the bullet stamps, the Donglin Party, who had a keen sense of smell, still saw the emperor's dissatisfaction. For this reason, many people wrote to Li Sancai, hoping that he could resign from his post and dismiss the seal to sacrifice himself to save the whole party. Otherwise, the five parties would keep a close eye on this matter, and the court would not be confused.
Li Sancai was very hesitant. He had been ups and downs in his official career for decades and was about to enter the cabinet to become a minister, but he failed because of a small Jinyiwei. His inner depression could not be spoken by outsiders.
During this period of time in Zhangjiawan, he thought about it a lot, but finally decided to take a look.
After all, the emperor left his resignation.
However, the party could not allow him to watch it anymore and wait any longer.
It is said that the Five Party have collected a large amount of evidence from Nanzhili and are preparing to collect materials and make another wave of news.
This time, Donglin is at a disadvantage. If the tide is even greater next time, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not get angry.
The husband of Fuqing was worried about his efforts like a pot maker. He had to be busy with state affairs and party affairs, reconcile conflicts among all parties, and could he continue to be so tired.
The overall situation is the most important.
Zou Taijun came here because he was entrusted by Gu Xiancheng to persuade Li Sancai to hang the seal.
In front of Zou Yuanbiao, who is older than himself, Li Sancai smiled bitterly and told the truth: "I'm still planning this."
Zou Yuanbiao shook his head: "What else is there to calculate? You should be clear about the interests."
"It doesn't matter if I leave my post, but the treacherous party is rampant. If you give in, it will take them a few years to clean up the loyal and kindness in the court." Speaking of this, Li Sancai's eyes showed some worry.
"The sound of wind and rain sounds, and the sound of reading is heard; family affairs, national affairs, and the affairs of the world are concerned about everything. Daofu, among us, has always known that ambition scholars have never failed to put salvation first. Uncle Shi was such a wise man who was worried about the world, but so what? Is it the court tolerant him or Your Majesty tolerate him?" Zou Yuanbiao was deeply in love, "Therefore, we should analyze and understand the best. When to advance and when to retreat, we can only be at ease."
Li San knew what Zou Yuanbiao meant. He was leaving now and might not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
If you are obsessed with it, you will mislead yourself and your colleagues.
"I should have seen through several letters from my uncle, but I should have seen through them, so what? Do you really need sages in this court?" Li Sancai disagreed, "and said that the evidence they attacked my uncle, and what are the items that could be put on the table... Do I not spend money on my scholars and officials to teach, and do not spend money on traveling? If there is no worship, how can I have the way of sages, and how can I preach?... I also said that I am extravagant, but I have money, what does it have to do with them?"
Zou Yuanbiao knew that Li Sancai was so arrogant that he was not convenient to talk about him, so he only said one thing.
"There has been a rumor recently that you have received 400,000 taels of silver from Chen Zeng. Is there any such incident?"
Upon hearing this, Li Sancai's expression changed: "Where did you hear the news?"
Zou Yuanbiao did not answer, but only asked him: "Whether this is the case."
"This..." Li San hesitated a little, and then sighed, "I took his money."
"Why are you so confused!"
Zou Yuanbiao was angry and anxious. Although he knew that this was definitely true, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry when he confirmed it from Li Sancai's mouth.
"Brother Erzhan, don't want this, I was confused at the time."
Li Sancai also regretted it. He was indeed greedy for money and blackmailed Chen Zeng, the Shandong Mining Supervisor.
This is the case. When Li Sancai became the governor of the grain transportation, someone went to the governor's office to sue Cheng Shouxun.
Who was Cheng Shouxun? He was the butcher. However, he was the first to promote the mining taxation envoy. He was specially appointed as the Secretariat of the Secretariat by the emperor and was in the Wuying Hall. Later, he followed the eunuch Chen Zeng to Shandong to start a mine, and made a lot of money.
The complainant had a lot of evidence that Cheng Shouxun was doing something wrong, so Li San took the case and should have dealt with it impartially. Even if he could not deal with Cheng Shouxun, he would report it. However, he did not report the matter, but sent someone to invite Shandong mining supervisor Chen Zeng to the banquet.
Chen Zeng was naturally flattered after receiving an invitation from the Governor of the Canal Transport, Governor of Fengyang, and Duke Li of Donglin.
Although he was a Shandong mining supervisor, he was very worthy in the emperor's mind, but he was just a slave in the eunuch temple. Who was Li Sancai, a magistrate of the border, a person valued by the emperor, Optimus Prime of the Donglin Party, and an existence that scholars all over the world look up to.
Chen Zeng was extremely excited to invite him as an eunuch to the banquet, and excitedly took people to the banquet of Grand Prince Li.
At the banquet, Li Sancai was polite first. After touching the cup several times, he took out several letters from his arms and handed them to Chen Zeng. Then he said that someone revealed that his subordinates were involved in Cheng Shouxun's private establishment of a court and extorted merchants.
Chen Zeng was stunned for a moment, glanced at the letter on the table, and gave up Cheng Shouxun without thinking. He said that it was too difficult to collect taxes for the emperor, and there were too many troublemakers in the area, and they did things that offend people. If there were too many complaints, it was commonplace. Don’t take it to heart by the Governor General.
In fact, Chen Zeng has seen many times. Over the years, he has been annoyed by the lawsuits he sued him, Cheng Shouxun, and other complaints he followed.
Not only his side, but the mining tax authorities in various provinces are not accused of any defendants.
But if you really want to leave, retreat, lock up, and kill, who will do anything for the emperor?
The emperor really wants to believe in you, the foreign officials, why should we use our slaves?
