Daming wolf ride

The plot of Fushe is to pave the way for the following story.

"If you were tricked and didn't realize it, wouldn't you be too stupid?" A farmer with a bamboo basket on his back and a big bamboo straw hat on his head hurried up to the high platform, put down the bamboo basket, took off his straw hat and slapped it twice. He bowed upwards, bowed to Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu, and then bowed his hands to Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai and said, "Heavenly Ru, Shouxian, don't come here?"

"Come on, when did you arrive?" Zhang Pu was very surprised when he saw Wu Changshi dressed in Ge clothes and trousers, wearing hemp ear shoes and dressed as a tea farmer.

Wu Changshi smiled and said: "I just came here, you can see that I haven't changed my clothes yet." He glanced at Wen Yuren and said, "Tianru, three days after the accident in Yixing, the news reached the capital."

"Master knows?"

"Well, not only does the old man know about it, but the emperor also asked about it."

"Your Majesty? Ah, good news!" Zhang Pu couldn't help being surprised and admiring.

"If the news hadn't spread to the capital, how could there be such a huge wave? Second Master Wen, am I right?"

Wen Yuren pretended to be calm and said: "The young master of the Zhou family is rampant and caused an accident. All the neighbors did it out of righteous indignation. What does it have to do with the news spreading to the capital?"

"Although it is true that the young master of the Zhou family violated the criminal law, some people have ulterior motives and take the opportunity to make a big fuss. They not only intimidate the government, but also incite the people to make trouble. This strategy is really vicious!"

"When the road is rough, drawing your sword to help is also a chivalrous act. What is the crime?"

Wu Changshi repeatedly sneered and said, "Second Master Wen, if the county magistrates of Yixing and Huzhou hadn't been instructed by Mr. Wen Ge's strict orders, how could they dare to indulge and protect you so blatantly? How dare he back up, how dare he grit his teeth and hold on to the end? Those people are mostly idlers, just trying to amuse them. When there is excitement, they flock to them, and when they get tired of watching them, they leave. If you didn't spend money to buy them off How can there be a lot of noise and chaos? Second master, this strategy of your brothers is really flawless, but I forgot that although Mr. Zhou Ge was dismissed from office and returned home, he is the leader of Donglin, the chief assistant of the dynasty, and the official of the world. Missing eyeliner? Then the county magistrate and the magistrate will only have the Wen family in their eyes?"

"You... What you said are all speculations, who would believe you?" Wen Yuren shook the fan away and shook it violently.

Wu Changshi took out a kraft paper envelope from his pocket, flashed it in front of his eyes and said, "This is a secret letter from Mr. Wen Ge to the prefect of Huzhou. You don't need to read it, you must know the words."

Wen Yuren's face changed drastically, he stood up and said: "It was clearly burned in person, how could it be in your hands?"

"Second master took it off completely. If someone pursues it except for something in the future, what will the magistrate do? He's not stupid, so how could he not be careful and use it as a shield?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could..."

"It was just an illusion. The prefect of Huzhou secretly exchanged letters, and what was burned was just a discarded manuscript of a notebook. If it wasn't for the brother to help the flames, why did the second master come to Huqiu in such a hot day?"

"Don't spout blood. We are here to join the club. What's the intention?"

"Are you coming to join the society? The society's regulations for rehabilitating the society have long stated that none of the incumbent officials will be accepted. Although you have a false title and are waiting for a vacancy, you are also on the list of rejections. You claim to come to join the society, but in fact you are here to force Tianru. "

"What did I force him to do?"

"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong. You are still quibbling, aren't you afraid that I will explain brother Ling's poisonous plan in detail in front of everyone in Fushe?"

"Okay, okay! Wu Changshi, I won't compete with you for a day." Wen Yuren glared at Wu Changshi viciously for a moment, then turned around and stepped off the stage, and left in a hurry, completely losing the grandeur he had when he came. [

Zhang Pu felt cold sweat at this moment, that Wen Tiren was indeed a treacherous and cunning man, with such deep scheming, an accidental homicide case was arranged for him so closely, mysteriously and unpredictable, killing two birds with one stone, very vicious.He said gratefully in his heart: "Come on, you are good to come! Otherwise, we almost fell into a trick."

Wu Changshi nodded and said: "Zhou Ge was always afraid of embarrassing you, so he ordered me to rush to Huqiu day and night, luckily I didn't disgrace my life."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. After the party is over, I'll have a few drinks with you." Zhang Cai stepped forward to hold his hand, and said proudly, "I may not lose to you this time."

"How can I take advantage of others' danger! These few days must be full of banquets and feasts all day long. How much of your drinking capacity can you have left? You should rest for a few more days, and I will compete with you in the capital someday!"

"Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"Well! I still have to pay a visit to the governor Zhang Guowei, and then rush to Huzhou and Yixing." Wu Changshi lowered his voice and said, "The life of the old leader is not easy! Recently, the officials handed over the chapters, and the old leader was very embarrassed. Rumors from the palace It was rumored that the emperor blamed the old leader for not being able to employ people as the chief assistant. When I left Beijing, the old leader told Fushe not to give support, and to avoid being suspected of manipulating and forming a clique. Everything must be done after he returns home. Besides, this day cannot be changed after all." After finishing speaking, he picked up the bamboo basket, bowed to Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu, and walked away.

Everyone saw an old tea farmer suddenly appearing on the stage, frightened Wen Yuren away with a few words, and also saw Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai bowing hands to him. What kind of character.Later, when they heard that it was Wu Changshi, the eleventh founder of Fushe and now the head of the Ministry of Rites, they were all surprised. He went out of Beijing in disguise, and he must have encountered an urgent matter.There was a lot of discussion and speculation, and there was a lot of noise in the audience.

Zhang Pu raised his head to look at the sun, it was already the time of day, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly asked Qian Qianyi to speak.Qian Qianyi stood up, stroked his beard, and the audience gradually became quiet.Everyone listened carefully, Qian Qianyi cupped his hands and said: "In the 32nd year of Wanli, Mr. Jingyang advocated the construction of Donglin Academy and Daonan Temple, together with his younger brother Gu Yuncheng, Gao Panlong, An Xifan, Liu Yuanzhen, Ye Maocai, Qian Yiben, Xue Fujiao and other Donglin Eight Gentlemen gathered together to discuss morality, flaunt integrity, advocate practical learning, satirize government affairs, judge people, and criticize current malpractices. Mr. Jingyang hand-crafted "Donglin Shangyu" and "Donglin Meeting", which stipulated that once a month A small meeting and a big meeting every year. The banished scholar-bureaucrats and scholars from all over the world responded to the news, and the officials in the court also responded from afar, and the world looked at him. Wei Zhongxian, who had not yet grown up at that time, tried to borrow the fame of the Donglin party members Win over the hearts of the ruling and the wild, and use both kindness and power to win over Donglin. Donglin refused to join forces with him, so that the dog thief harbored a grudge and waited for revenge. After he admiral Dongchang, he made accusations, set up prisons repeatedly, and wanted to kill. Donglin Party The names of people are listed all over the country, and all those who are on the list, the living lose their jobs for the people, and the dead chase after the official title. The world is silent for a while, the gentlemen hold back their wrists, Donglin's vitality is severely injured, talents wither, and they have been dormant for several years. Alas! These past events It’s been 30 years, but when I think about it, it’s like yesterday, vividly in my mind.”

Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi sighed softly, reminiscing about the past, seeming to be overwhelmed with emotion, and then said: "Now that Donglin is dead and injured, only a few of us are left, like a lonely ghost, with more energy than strength. Now, with you Fushe here, Donglin’s mantle is naturally a successor. When Donglin was in its heyday, there were only 3000 people on Wei Zhongxian’s list. Now there are nearly [-] people in Fushe, and the momentum is far superior. Donglin. If those old friends of Donglin know about it, they are also very relieved."

"It's not just a gratification? It's as if they have managed the society so prosperously, which is really beyond the past and the present. When the teacher came into the cabinet, if there was such a momentum to echo in the opposition, it would not be easy to teach old thief Wen to take advantage of the loopholes." Your Majesty will not deceive him anymore." Qu Shixu's voice was like a bell, remembering that his teacher Qian Qianyi was not allowed to join the cabinet, which led to failure, so he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly and slapped the armrest of the chair hard. .

Qian Qianyi's face became hot, and he was a little displeased when he repeated the old words that he had kept in his mouth. He frowned and said, "The emperor is wise, but in fact, I can't blame others. Take it as shame. However, Wen Tiren is also a formidable character, so don't be careless. Now that he has squeezed out the old leader and served as the sole assistant, he is more arrogant than before." Zhang Pu sneered, cupped his hands and said: "Old Mu Don't be self-effacing. Although the old thief Wen has become the leader and assistant, he can't cover the sky with his hands. Although the old leader can't restrain him when he returns home, but the court in Beijing is full of Donglin party members, Wen Tiren would not dare to do anything wrong, otherwise Even if you ask him to be the first assistant for a day, he will not be able to do it."

Seeing that he was high-spirited, Qian Qianyi seemed to be sure of victory. He knew that he and his teacher Zhou Yanru had a deep relationship, and also heard that they had the intention of relying on each other. The ministers were obstructing it, the situation was naturally very different from that time, he nodded and said: "I hope so, when the country is clarified, the old man can spend his days in Fushui Mountain Villa."

Zhang Pu said with a smile: "Old Mu can't quit, the cause of rehabilitating society is booming, and I need your advice!"

Qian Qianyi knew that it was just a polite remark, but after all, he regarded himself as Dong Lin's senior, especially in front of thousands of people, he felt that he had given enough face, and said happily: "If there is a destiny in the sky, it is naturally for the benefit of the country. If you don't think I'm stupid and capable, how dare I resign when I'm doing things for the people?"

Qu Shixu echoed: "My generation was in the Confucianism, I started my own life, read the books of sages, sacrificed my life for the country, and begged for the people. This is my duty. If God forgets, I still don't agree!"

Zhang Pu didn't even dare to say it, and Zhang Cai hurriedly said that he was ashamed.Qu Shixu was originally jealous of evil. He returned home because of his mentor Qian Qianyiting's entry into the cabinet. These years, he lived in seclusion in his hometown. He raised his eyebrows with joy, stood up and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, I was really surprised when I was invited to the meeting for the first time. To tell you the truth, after the decline of Donglin, although I was a little angry, how to revive the prestige is a real challenge. How much it counts. I heard that Yinshan first met and established the Fushe, but I didn’t take it seriously. I was a little moved after the Jinling Conference. When I went to Huqiu, I saw that the Fushe had such a momentum in just three or five years! Yuxin died, as long as there is an undying heart, everything can be accomplished. Tianru, Shouxian and others are all great talents, and they are really amazing!" He raised his thumb and praised: "The first sage, Confucius, had three disciples throughout his life. Thousands, 72 sages. In just a few years of your efforts, the number of disciples and disciples is no less than that of saints."

Zhang Pu was a little proud of himself, but said on his mouth: "Senior's absurd praise, fearful. Confucius, the teacher of all ages, looks up to make him taller, drills to make him firmer, looks forward to the front, and suddenly stays behind. Although the senior encourages you with good intentions, boy How dare you defile the saint?"

These words have been heard by everyone in the front row, and someone shouted: "The achievements of the two gentlemen are as good as the saints, and the world does not admire them. We just call the names of the two gentlemen, which is not enough to show respect. How about Just the last name."

Someone objected: "The two gentlemen both have the surname Zhang, so it's difficult to tell them apart by only using their surnames?"

"It's easy. Mr. Tianru lives in the west of the city, and Mr. Shouxian lives in the south of the city. Let's make a difference. One is called Xizhang and the other is called Nanzhang. How about it?"

"Okay, this idea is really good! It's a common practice in ancient times to call it Diwang."

Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai looked at Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu and waved their hands again and again.Qian Qianyi knew it was out of affection, and said with a smile: "You two, don't take their kindness away."

Seeing the two of them humbly in the audience, they shouted: "Two masters, we regard you two as the suzerains of the alliance, just as the living saints of Confucius, why do we need to resign?"

"If the two masters are saints, then Loudong will be Queli." Zhang Pu saw that the person who spoke was Wang Ruiguo from the suburb of Loudong, and his expression was extremely excited. He obviously thought that it was a great honor to be in the same hometown as the saint.Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu secretly looked at each other, they thought it was just a joke, but gradually they took it seriously, they frowned and remained silent.Qu Shiqi originally wanted to give Zhang Pu a boost, but when he saw the people praising him so much, he couldn't help being a bit nonsense, and secretly regretted that he had just been reckless, and his words were too much, but it was hard to stop, if he refuted immediately, he would have slapped himself in the mouth, he was very annoyed, and sat down Feeling awkward on stage.

"It's reasonable! It's reasonable!" At this time, the crowd was passionate, and hundreds of people shouted, and the momentum was quite strong.Someone said: "Sifu, Shizhe, Shichangshi, etc. are the number of saints who should have, we should also list them, they are indispensable."

Wang Ruiguo took over the conversation and said, "What's so difficult about this! They are all ready-made, and you can pick them up. There are quite a few members from Taicang in our Fushe Society. The four most experienced members are Zhao Zi, Wang Jiaying, Zhang Yi, and Cai Shen. The four of them just make four matches."

"The ten philosophers who can do it?"

"Ten sages? They must be disciples who have followed for many years. The first one is Wu Weiye, the second is Lu Yunfu, and there are Zhou Zhao, Sun Yijing, Jin Dasheng, Xu Huan, Zhou Qun, Xu Guojie, Mu Yungui, Hu Zhounai, It can be regarded as ten philosophers."

"It's best to choose the ten permanent attendants. Mr. Tianru has many disciples, so just choose ten of them."

"Zhang Jun, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Wangzhi, Zhang Ju, Zhang Lian, Zhang Yong, Zhang Zhexian, Zhang, Zhang Tao, Zhang Yingjing..."

Suddenly one person asked with a sneer: "There are five tigers, five bastards, five dogs, ten children, forty grandchildren and so on?" His voice was shrill and thin, extremely piercing.
