Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 297
"Hahaha! Huang Shoufu, I have been waiting for a long time, but you are finally here! Come on, please sit down! Please sit down!"

As soon as he came out of the private room according to the instructions on the invitation, the door of the private room was opened immediately. The hale and hearty old man with a long face opened the door with a smile on his face, and made an invitation gesture to Huang Liji who was about to knock on the door.

Huang Liji was stunned for a moment, and soon recognized that the red-faced old man in front of him was Qian Qianyi, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party who was impeached by Yu Shi Cui Chengxiu and Chen Yirui in Tianqi four years and returned to his hometown!

It was really the old guy who invited me!

When did he come to Beijing?
What is the purpose of coming to Beijing?
When he first saw Qian Qianyi's name on the invitation, Huang Liji thought that he was invited to the banquet by a member of the Donglin Party in his name, or that he was invited by his agent.

But what Huang Liji didn't expect was that in the end it was this old guy who was supposed to retire in his hometown who came forward in person!

The meanings represented by these three are completely different!
hiss!This old guy doesn't want to come back, does he?
Thinking of this possibility, Huang Liji couldn't help but gasped slightly, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

Today's court can be described as a radish and a hole, but there is no place for this old guy. If this old guy wants to come back, with his previous official position, the general position will definitely not satisfy his appetite. The first and second positions in the six departments, most of these positions are now in the hands of him and Wei Zhongxian.

Could it be that this old guy wants to give him a position?

How can this be?

Huang Liji couldn't figure it out. He knew that he couldn't agree to this kind of thing that was obviously going to lose his own interests, so why did Qian Qianyi invite him over? This is completely unreasonable!

While thinking about this, Huang Liji sat down under Qian Qianyi's warm greeting.

However, Huang Liji didn't say a word from the time he sat down at the door. He just kept squinting at Qian Qianyi who was smiling all the time, keeping vigilance in his heart.

If it is a normal banquet, if the guests are so ignorant of etiquette, then the host will definitely be unhappy, but facing Huang Liji who looks like this, Qian Qianyi always has a smile on his face, as if he didn't see him. Huang Liji's rude behavior is average.

"Come on! Huang Shoufu! Mr. Shoufu works hard for the country all day long. Thank you for your hard work. I will offer you a toast on behalf of the people of the world!"

After beckoning Huang Liji to sit down, Qian Qianyi also sat on the main seat. Seeing that Huang Liji didn't respond, he took the initiative to raise the wine glass in his hand and toasted Huang Liji.

When the words fell, Dang even drank the wine glass in his hand.

It wasn't until he put down the empty wine glass that he noticed that Huang Liji was completely unmoved by his toast.

The whole person looked at him like a log, turning a blind eye to the wine glass in front of him, and didn't seem to want to drink at all.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Huang Liji's shameless behavior finally seemed to anger Qian Qianyi who had been smiling since just now.

The smile on the old man's face began to shrink slowly, he stared at Huang Liji, and after a while he said in a low voice: "It seems that this officialdom is really a place for people to walk away...

Heh...that's right, the old man today is just a white man who has been dismissed from his post, so how can he have the right to let the majestic Chief Assistant drink the wine toasted by the old man! "

The atmosphere in the field became more dignified.

Several officials of the Donglin Party Department who were sitting with them also felt that the atmosphere was not right at the moment. They looked around and lowered their heads silently to lower their sense of existence.

For a while, Huang Liji, who had been squinting his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes slowly, looked down at the wine glass full of wine in front of him, and said slowly: "It's not that people take tea to cool down, wine, it's not that you can't drink it, but What qualifications do you Qian Qianyi have to represent the people of the world?

This glass of wine, I can't afford it, and I dare not drink it! "

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi's expression suddenly softened, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Although I can't represent the people of the world, at least I, a gentleman in Donglin, can also represent the people in Jiangnan.

So, this glass of wine, Mr. Shoufu might drink it? "

"laugh!"

As soon as Qian Qianyi said this, Huang Liji didn't hide it, his serious face obviously showed mockery and disdain, he sneered, and said coldly: "Representing the people in the south of the Yangtze River?
You Qian Shouzhi (Qian Qianyi's word Shouzhi) can really speak!

Don't you know who you Donglin can represent?

You represent the gentry, not the common people of Ming Dynasty!

Can a few gentry represent the entire Jiangnan?

ridiculous! "

Seeing Huang Liji's undisguised disdain, Qian Qianyi didn't bother to put it on anymore, his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Those mud legs are just some pariahs, and a batch of them died and another Batch, like the weeds in the field are countless but insignificant.

Only the vast gentry are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and the real people of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, why not say that I, Donglin, represent the entire people in the south of the Yangtze River? "

Qian Qianyi made no secret of his contempt for ordinary people. In his eyes, except for the gentry class, those lowest-level mud legs cannot be regarded as human beings at all!

In the past, Huang Liji, who also represented the gentry class, was like him, but after taking refuge in the current sage, Huang Liji knows that in the eyes of the current sage, it is precisely those mud legs that are not in their eyes. The real people in his eyes.

Therefore, under the influence of Zhu Youjian, or under the influence of political correctness, Huang Liji gradually eliminated his prejudice, and recognized the fact that those ordinary people are also the people of Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Qian Qianyi's words at this moment, he suddenly stood up angrily, slammed the table down heavily, glared at Qian Qianyi and shouted: "Qian Qianyi! Your words, pass!
All the people of our Ming Dynasty, regardless of their status or class, are all my citizens of the Ming Dynasty!

All the common people of our Ming Dynasty are all nobles under the heaven and earth!
In this identity, there is no distinction between superior and inferior!

How can you treat it as nothing!
Your attitude is not the attitude that a disciple of a saint should have!

Don't you know what shame is!
......"

Huang Liji immediately began to scold. Qian Qianyi's face turned green and pale, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, Confucius also said that there is no such thing as education.

This shows that even a sage like his old man who integrates hierarchy into his thinking still puts the people of the world on the same level to some extent.

Qian Qianyi, who has always claimed to be a great master of Confucianism, dared not refute, so he could only be scolded abruptly.

After a while, Xu Shi became thirsty, Huang Liji drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and looked at Qian Qianyi straight to the point and said:

"Old man, you should stop making detours for the old man.

Let's be blunt, what is the purpose of finding this old man after you return to Beijing? "

ps: Give two tickets, begging for a ticket!
　Uh, give a ticket?do not give?
