Chapter VIII
This is the difference between people.
When ordinary people read this "Fengyue Mechanism Picture", they must be thinking about it randomly, thinking more and more deeply into the dirty place, and then being addicted to it.
When the old prime minister read this "Fengyue Machinery Picture", he really admired Tang Bohu's painting skills, but he didn't even think about the way of men and women.
This is the realm.
Speaking of which, there is also a story from the "Fengyue Mechanism Picture". This painting was not bought by the old prime minister himself, but was given by the disciple and disciple Qian Menggao.
When the 33rd year of Wanli "has already been in the Jingzhou Prefecture", the cabinet had a conflict on who was in charge of the Jingzhou Prefecture.
The parties involved in the conflict were the old prime minister and the second auxiliary Shen Li.
The old prime minister proposed that Xiao Daheng, the Minister of War, was the chief inspector. Chen Li knew that Xiao was the private person of the old prime minister, so he firmly opposed it and said that there was no such precedent in the ancestral system. The previous inspections of the capital were led by the Ministry of Personnel, and the Inspectorate and the Cabinet cooperated together. Xiao Daheng belonged to the Ministry of War, how could he be qualified to take charge of the plan?
The old prime minister was naturally clear about this. Chen Li proposed that Yang Shiqiao, the Minister of Personnel, who was in charge of this Beijing inspection, and Wen Chun, the Censor of the Censor, were not his own party, but the Donglin faction.
It's okay for Yang Shiqiao, but it's not biased, but Wen Chun has always been hostile to the old prime minister. He once openly argued for Chen Li and Guo Zhengyu in the "Demon Book Case" and blatantly opposed the old prime minister. However, Wen Chun was very favored by His Majesty, so the old prime minister couldn't do anything to him.
Because the Beijing Prefecture was always the main plan of the Ministry of Personnel, the old prime minister could not forcibly recommend Xiao Daheng, but he was self-defeated and could not tolerate things that were contrary to him during the Beijing Prefecture, so he made the worst plan. If there was a situation where he injured his comrades in the Party, he would decisively and detain the results of the Beijing Prefecture if necessary and would not be reported.
Moreover, at the beginning of the Beijing investigation, the old prime minister sent his confidant disciples, the criminal department, to re-report the old story of Qian Menggao, and re-discussed the case of the King of Chu's attack on the throne, and wrote a memorial to falsely accuse Guo Zhengyu of "not framed his relatives with real news", demanding that Guo's official title be removed.
Guo Zhengyu was not only a member of the Donglin Party, but also a teacher of the prince. The chief adviser Yang Shiqiao and Wen Chun firmly opposed it, believing that Qian Menggao was accomplice of the tiger and intended to frame the important officials in the court, so he decided to demote Qian to other places.
Sure enough, after the Beijing inspection, there were three ministers who were rated as "impatient" and two censors, one censors who were rated as "uncautious", two ministers who were rated as "understood", two ministers who were rated as "underpowered", two ministers who were rated as "insufficient in talent", and three other ministers were dealt with by "selecting the vows".
Among them are the old prime minister's confidant disciples Qian Menggao, Zhong Zhaodou and others.
When the old prime minister learned about this result, he was angry and forced to detain the request reported by the Ministry of Personnel to deal with the investigation and memorials of Qian Menggao and others for half a year. He also asked for the emperor's special order to continue to serve as Qian Menggao.
At this time, Liu Yuanzhen, who served as the Fangsi, was also an advocate of Donglin Academy. He was one of the eight kings of Donglin. He was angry and wrote a memorial to impeach the old prime minister and denounced him for his power to sell private power and deceive the emperor to suppress his subordinates. He dared to detain the memorial to the prosecutorial memorial, which was unprecedented in the 200-year history of the Beijing Prefecture.
In the memorial, Liu Yuanzhen also impeached Qian Menggao to be a spoiled old prime minister, and often put the hat of "forming cliques" on others, and emphasized that there were villains in all dynasties who destroyed good people for the crime of forming cliques.
This trick is also a common method of party struggles.
Liu Yuanzhen's memorial caused a great response in the court and the public. Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, immediately became excited after reading Liu's memorial in the newspaper. He told the comrades in the party that this was the first manifesto of his comrades to denounce the Zhejiang Party, saying: "This world praises the transformation and education of things comes from our hometown and from our party. He is unhappy and wants to be crazy."
Relying on the support of the old prime minister, Qian Menggao was unwilling to be impeached. He immediately submitted a memorial to Liu Yuanzhen as the chief inspector Wen Chun's hawk, and he took the opportunity to attack the chief assistant.
Wanli originally did not believe in the incident of the King of Chu's rebellion exposed by Guo Zhengyu. He had long lost his favor for Guo and intended to suppress the Donglin Party, so he stood on Shen Yiguan's side and issued an order to remove Wen Chun's official position and demoted Liu Yuanzhen to a remote province.
Later, Liu Yuanzhen simply resigned and went to Wuxi to help Gu Xiancheng preside over Donglin Academy. A few months ago, a civil unrest occurred in Wuxi. Liu Yuanzhen died tragically at the gunpoint of the Admiral Wei Eunuch Guard Guard, and his death was extremely miserable.
Qian Menggao survived the disaster. In order to repay his mentor, he specially bought a spring painting painted by Tang Bohu at a high price and sent it to the prime minister's mansion in person.
The old prime minister has always liked Tang Bohu's paintings, and they were also erotic palaces. He was happy at first sight and treasured them like treasures. Whenever he had time, he would take them out to observe them.
While watching attentively, the front yard manager came to report urgently, saying that dozens of gentry merchants were kneeling outside the mansion, begging the old prime minister to make the decision for them.
"For what?"
The old prime minister was very surprised. Dozens of people knelt outside the mansion. The matter was very big and the place was difficult to deal with, otherwise these people would not come to him.
Knowing that the matter is serious, the old prime minister didn't care about taking care of the situation and asked the supervisor to help him to the front yard to meet his elders.
"I heard that something happened to Dinghaiwei, and their cargo ships were robbed..."
The manager helped the old prime minister walk and said that when he arrived outside the door, the old prime minister roughly knew something had happened. Inside the door, he saw dozens of people kneeling outside, and there were many gray-haired people inside. The old prime minister immediately threw away the supervisor and supported his hands and quickly stepped forward to step out of the door.
"The old prime minister is here, the old prime minister is here!"
When the merchant leader who was kneeling saw it, he couldn't help but get up and make a support. The old prime minister took it calmly, and then signaled everyone to get up quickly.
But everyone couldn't stand it and said in a word.
These people were all maritime merchants in Ningbo and Wenzhou. Many of the goods and ships were kidnapped by Eunuch Wei's navy, and many of the merchant ships were unable to go out to sea. The garrison refused to send troops to seek the revenge. He also heard that Lord Zhongcheng didn't care about this matter, so he came together to ask the old prime minister to make the decision.
Shen Yiguan listened to everyone's words calmly. After everyone finished talking one by one, he raised his hand slightly and slowly glanced at them and said, "Please rest assured. Although I have retired, I will never sit idly by and watch my elders ignore them in dire straits. I will give you justice."
Seeing this, the leader knew what to do next, so he immediately led everyone away thankfully.
They came today and could meet the old prime minister and get what they wanted.
All the heavens in Zhejiang are here.
After the crowd left, Shen Yiguan walked into the door with the help of the manager, pondering all the way, and unknowingly returned to the garden.
In the pavilion, the "Fengyue Mechanism Picture" was still quietly placed on the table, with an inkstone pressed on the upper left corner, but it was windy just now. The maids were afraid that the wind would blow to the ground, so they specially used it to cover it.
The old prime minister glanced at Fengyuetu, looked at the maids again, and couldn't help but smile. Then he turned to the manager and said, "What kind of admiral maritime minister, I have never heard of, and the inner court has no such position. Why is this little eunuch in Jiangnan?
"Who said it was not? It was such a strange story. According to villains, most people from the Silijian were mixing sand in our Jiangnan. The inner guards of the Nandu also wanted to see jokes about the Jiangnan officialdom."
The manager has been with the old prime minister for decades. Just in terms of knowledge, he is probably no worse than the governor of a province. This is not false. If he had not had fame and fortune, the manager would have been entrusted to the old prime minister's blessing and became a few-rank official.
"It's not that the inner court has mixed sand to Jiangnan. It's probably because His Majesty is a temporary person. They can't persuade him... But a young eunuch who is still not dry can dare to come down south to pretend to be a tiger's power. Do you really think there is no one in the southeast?"
Chen Yiguan's tone was plain, but the conceit in his words was as good as when he was the chief assistant back then.
The manager chuckled and said, "Gao Ju wanted to suppress this because of Sun Long's incident, but he didn't know that he would offend the master if he did this."
"It's okay to offend me."
Chen Yiguan moved his beard, waved his hand, and ordered the manager to say, "You go and spread the word to me and ask them to do it boldly. What should I do? The sky falls and I will hold you back."
After saying that, he said, "Go and tell Sun Long, don't worry about other people's affairs. Hangzhou is a good place, just stay in peace."
"Yes, Master."
The manager knew who to send the message, and bowed down. Before he walked far, a concierge rushed to report it, saying that a guest asked for a meeting.
The manager asked who was asking the concierge for a meeting?
The concierge only said that it was a young husband and refused to disclose his origin. He only said that he would reveal it when he saw the old prime minister.
The manager snorted slightly: "Where did the crazy person come from? I asked someone to drive him away."
This kind of thing is common. The master is the chief minister and the grandmaster who retired, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and the Yu Chao and Yu Township. Some destitute literati or crazy students want to take a shortcut from their masters. Unfortunately, their master never likes these people and has a word to explain. If there are these people, they will drive them away and don’t disturb Qingjing.
"The little one just didn't let him in and asked him to leave, but this person insisted on seeing him, the little one was thinking..."
The concierge smiled and said, "He had taken the young husband's five taels of silver to the door, but the manager said he would not let him see him, so he couldn't blame him for not taking the money or not doing anything."
The manager knew that the gatekeeper must have taken the advantage of the crazy student, but this was the unspoken rule in the mansion, so there was nothing to say. He waved his hand and asked the gatekeeper to drive people away quickly, and he went straight to do what the master told him.
As the former chief minister's mansion, there are guards in the Shen house and fast horses who communicate with all parties.
Chen Yiguan's mood was not affected by the previous incident at all. Perhaps in the eyes of this former chief minister, a little eunuch who pretended to be powerful was really not worth his efforts.
A picture of wind and moon tells the way of the world.
The old prime minister looked at the authentic works of Tang Yin and pondered without saying a word.
Every time he looks at this painting, he will have a different feeling.
Just as I was watching, I heard a vague shouting in my ears, and the maids around me also exclaimed.
The old prime minister frowned slightly and looked up at the noisy direction. He saw a young husband in white robes rushing in surrounded by several tiger-backed men.
More than a dozen guards and servants were unable to stop them.
The old prime minister was furious and was about to get up and scold the visitor for being arrogant, but when he saw the white-clothed husband seeing him, he suddenly raised his hand to compile and shouted: "Puppet Lanxi, Shanyin Loujiang, Fuqing and freshly built, all of which are babies. If the four Ming Dynasty is not out, who will compete with him?"
"The Admiral Marine Independent Wei Liangchen pays homage to the Siming Prime Minister!"
