Ming politicians

After Dong Chang left, Su Tiancheng thought a lot. In this world, there is no love and hate for no reason. Since Dong Chang is the governor of Jinyiwei, he is directly serving the court. Although his performance is good, even though Dong Chang Appreciate yourself, but these all have a premise, that is, you must be loyal to the emperor.

The connection between Jinyiwei and the cabinet may not be so close, and it is impossible to be intimate, otherwise the emperor will feel uncomfortable, but the connection between Jinyiwei and the Supervisor of Rituals is different from ordinary ones. Speaking of it, these two institutions , are the emperor's loyal hawks and dogs. After a close cooperation, they can compete against the cabinet and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

The two eunuchs Dong Chang mentioned, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, were both well-known eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty. As for Qin Sande, although he was not well-known, it was certainly not easy for him to be in the Supervisor of Rites.

Handling the relationship with the Jinyiwei and the eunuchs is very important to Su Tiancheng. He doesn't have those righteous ideas, such as eunuchs harming the country, what Jinyiwei is cruel and shameless, etc. Since he thinks that Jinyiwei and Si Lijian are the emperor The eagle dog, then, what kind of role these two departments can play depends on the person who controls the eagle dog.

The party disputes among the court ministers are so fierce that it can be said that they cannot find a pure land for one side, so it is a wise choice to rely on the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei around the emperor. Su Tiancheng only thinks of relying on it, and will never sell himself Seeking glory.

After thinking clearly about these principles, he vaguely saw a path, a path of development and growth.

Now that Xinke Huiyuan has become himself, and history has begun to change, then follow his own plan and start step by step.

The first Gongsheng to visit the Gaosheng Inn was actually Chen Yutai.

Chen Yutai is a well-known figure. The No. [-] scholar in the palace examination in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, are related by marriage. According to historical records, it is precisely because of this relationship that he was the No. [-] scholar in high school.It's a pity that Chen Yutai was caught in party struggles due to his status and was not reused. After Zhou Yanru was forced to resign, he also left the court in despair, and finally failed to enter the officialdom.

Chen Yutai was tall and a little thin. Although he came to visit Su Tiancheng, he still had a complacent expression on his face.

Chen Yutai was born in the 24th year of Wanli. According to his age, he was exactly 36 years old.

A 36-year-old person shouldn't be young anymore. Seeing Chen Yutai's expression, Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, probably because his family conditions are too good.Chen Yutai's father was a Jinshi, and his clan brother Chen Yuting was even more remarkable. The Zuodu Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had an in-law relationship with Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, which was already a relationship against heaven.

"Brother Su is so young, he took the Xieyuan test in Shanxi Township in high school, and he was able to take the Huiyuan test, two yuan and passed. I really admire it."

"Thank you Brother Chen for your praise. Brother Chen's scholarly family background is what I really admire."

The glory of the family, whoever talks about it, is happy.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng could talk like this, Chen Yutai put away his underestimating mentality.Knowing that Huiyuan turned out to be Shanxi Township Examination Xie Yuan, he was a little unconvinced. After so many years of examinations, Huiyuan was almost all contracted by students from the south. When he came to visit Su Tiancheng, he also had a provocative attitude.

"Brother Su is worthy of his name. If life is just like the first time you see it, if it spreads to the south, almost everyone will recite it. Such a high-pressure poem is unmatched by me."

Su Tiancheng was a little embarrassed. Scholars always like to ask for advice. If Chen Yutai thought about poetry with him, it would be really annoying. It seems that the topic must be changed.

"It's a joke, it's a joke, I think I am a great Ming country, I was harassed by the empress Jin Sao, and the rogues also took advantage of the fire to rob me. Under such a situation, scholars like us all want to serve our country and the emperor, and wish we could put on armor and kill the enemy with our own hands , a little poetry, not elegant."

"Oh, I didn't expect Brother Su to have such an idea. The scholars who participated in the examination, such as me, have been paying attention to the important affairs of the court, but my understanding is still a little different. The harassment of the late gold, the suffering of scabies, are harmless, and the bandits It is easy to get rid of chaos, there is no need to overwork, these are not big things, the important thing is to rectify the government, if we scholars can enter the imperial court, we must work hard to govern, guide the country, and work hard to revitalize our Ming Dynasty. "

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly.

This is the first time he has heard such a big talk, I am afraid that you, Chen Yutai, even if you are the number one scholar, you will not be able to do a small soldier of Houjin when you go to the north.

"Brother Chen's boldness, I admire you."

Changing the topic, Su Tiancheng achieved his goal. As for Chen Yutai pointing out the country, or talking about it on paper, that has nothing to do with him. He can say whatever he wants.

But there was one problem that bothered him. If most of the scholars in Ming Dynasty were so ignorant of the situation and so arrogant, that would be the greatest tragedy of the court.

The two chatted for more than half an hour, and Chen Yutai was very excited, feeling like he had found a bosom friend.

Su Tiancheng pays attention to what he says, Chen Yutai's identity is different, Zhou Yanru and Chen Yuting stand behind him, who knows if he has other purposes for coming here.

If it is said that Chen Yutai is the same age as himself, that would be easier to say, but it is a pity that a scholar who has not yet entered the imperial court actually talked about the issue of official administration. Does this feel like there is no silver 300 taels here?

Chen Yutai's drinking was normal, in order to make Chen Yutai shut up earlier, Su Tiancheng unceremoniously poured alcohol down his stomach, Chen Yutai simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.

When Wu Weiye came to visit, Su Tiancheng was more careful.

This Wu Weiye is much more promising than Chen Yutai. His main focus is not on government affairs, and he even despises the idea of ​​being an official. He writes good poems.

Sure enough, when Wu Weiye came to visit, he first talked about "Mulan Flower Order" and "Butterfly Love Flower"; two poems.

"Brother Su's talent, I admire her so much. If life is just like the first time I saw it, the perfect realm, the hard work is the most pity for the sky and the moon, the past is like a ring, the past and the past have become juicy, excellent taste, brother Su is four years old, absolutely If you can't reach this level, seeing Brother Su today, you feel ashamed, those crazy things before are all jokes."

Su Tiancheng blinked, Damn it, I plagiarized it, you Wu Weiye is really capable, if it wasn't for Chen Yutai's tricks, you would definitely be famous all over the world if you won the first place in the imperial examination and won the imperial examination.

"Don't dare dare."

"Brother Su, don't be humble. I have already inquired about it. When Brother Su arrived in the capital, he deliberately kept a low profile and never made it public. Even with this kind of demeanor, I am ashamed of myself. I am here today because I want to talk to Brother Su." After discussing it, in front of Brother Su, I dare not talk about poetry, just thinking, if I get a good sentence, I hope Brother Su will not refuse."

Sweat dripped from Su Tiancheng's forehead.

Wu Weiye is a great poet and dramatist. A plagiarist like himself is here to guide people at the master level

Things are really nondescript.

Seeing Su Tian's troubled expression, Wu Weiye stood up and bowed deeply.

"Brother Su, don't refuse, I'm here with full of hope."

The mood of the wry smile was gone, so in desperation, Su Tiancheng had no choice but to speak.

"Brother Wu is a great talent, he is so considerate, if I pretend to refuse, I will be sorry for Brother Wu. When I was living at home, I discussed the matter of military affairs with the Nursing Academy, and I had some feelings. Afterwards, I went out to travel and learned a lot. Express the emotions in my heart, write a long lovesickness, and ask Brother Wu to correct it."

Wu Weiye was overjoyed, stood upright, and looked at Su Tiancheng.

"One journey through the mountains, one journey through the water, walking towards the bank of Yuguan, with thousands of lamps in the middle of the night. The wind changes, the snow changes, and the dreams of the hometown are broken, and there is no such sound in the hometown."

After Su Tiancheng finished reading, he blinked and didn't look at Wu Weiye.

Wu Weiye muttered silently, savoring the song "Long Lovesickness".

In just 2 minutes, Wu Weiye bowed to the end.

"Brother Su's talent and learning are the best in the past and present. This long-term lovesickness is like a soldier's lovesickness. The artistic conception is profound and the sentences are plain. It is an excellent poem that I have seen below. If Brother Su doesn't dislike it, I will definitely ask for advice in the next day. "

"Don't dare, I still have to learn from Brother Wu."

After all, Wu Weiye is only 23 years old, and he is much more straightforward. Although he seems full of ambition, whether he is speaking or asking for advice, he is very respectful, and he has a feeling that he is not as good as you. This kind of mind is still very good.

When the two were drinking, Wu Weiye was very respectful. This attitude was expressed from the bottom of his heart, and it was a kind of worship for capable people.

Wu Weiye was also drunk, and before lying down, he was still chanting the song "Long Lovesickness".

Comparing Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye, Su Tiancheng still has different feelings.

In his impression, Wu Weiye is obviously stronger. It's no wonder that Wu Weiye later became a famous poet and accomplished a lot. At least his temperament is low-key.

The irony is that if Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye are officials in the same dynasty, Chen Yutai's achievements will definitely be higher than Wu Weiye's. In the officialdom, you don't rely on book knowledge, the key still depends on your character.

Historically, Chen Yutai squeezed out Wu Weiye and became the No. [-] scholar in the palace examination. Wu Weiye was second in the list. If Emperor Chongzhen Zhu You hadn't checked Wu Weiye's test paper, he would probably have fallen to the top three.

In the officialdom, it must be cruel, especially in the officialdom at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If you are blindly hard-headed, you will definitely fall badly. The light ones will be excluded from the officialdom, and the severe ones will even lose their lives.Wu Weiye is too young and needs tempering. He cannot be compared with Chen Yutai.
