Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 469
Meng Fanxin said loudly: "Everyone! The country has the power to rape, but the country will not be the country. During the Jiajing period, the power traitor Yan Song took power. Loyal ministers and good generals suffered, and the people of Li were in dire straits! Fortunately, Mr. Gao Gong stepped forward and defeated Yan Song and his son. Mr. Gao Gong Man, his name will go down in history!"

He Liu frowned.It was the joint efforts of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong who defeated Yan Song in the first fight.Among them, He Liu even had his share of credit.Meng Fanxin put all the credit on Gao Gong alone.

Meng Fanxin said again: "Everyone, there is another traitor in my Ming Dynasty! Do you know who it is?"

He Fangqing took a sip of wine and shouted: "Of course it's Zhang Juzheng!"

He Liu's face turned green.Although he has long heard that people in the academy like to talk about government affairs.But he didn't expect Meng Fanxin and He Fangqing to speak so straightforwardly.Come up and directly say that the chief minister of the current dynasty is a power traitor!
Meng Fanxin nodded: "Miss He hit the nail on the head! Zhang Juzheng is the number one villain since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! Zhang Juzheng's traitor is far better than Hu Weiyong in the Hongwu Dynasty and Yan Song in the Jiajing Dynasty! Why? Hu Weiyong and Yan Song The purpose of manipulating the court is to amass money. Zhang Juzheng wants his ministerial power to surpass the imperial power! Be the shadow emperor!"

"At the beginning of the year, Zhang Juzheng passed his birthday, and he even uttered wild words at the birthday banquet: I am not a prime minister, but a prostitute! He himself admitted that he is now the regent! Your Majesty the emperor, now he can only submit to his lust!",

He Liu was secretly startled: Zhang Juzheng slipped his tongue after drinking, when he said this.I'm right there with him.At that time, all the court officials sat on the wine table.How do the people know about it now?Could it be that, among the court officials at the wine table that day, someone deliberately spread this sentence to the people?
Meng Fanxin continued: "The so-called new policy implemented by Zhang Juzheng is definitely not for the common people. It is to suppress the royal family and the gentry. In order to achieve his ulterior purpose! He also plans to let us scholars pay taxes like those mud legs. This is an insult to Sven!"

"Also, Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li are ambiguous. It is rumored among the people that Zhang Juzheng is actually the face of Empress Dowager Li! Although this statement is shocking, there is a saying that there is no such thing as trouble. If Zhang Juzheng wants to be honest with Empress Dowager Li, how can the people do that?" How did such a rumor come about?"

Meng Fanxin spoke wildly.He Liu really wanted to stand up and scold him, "Fart!"

The New Deal has been implemented for six years, and the people's lives are getting better day by day; the government is not as corrupt as in the previous dynasty; the revenue of the treasury has increased every year.Meng Fanxin turned a blind eye.Just blindly scolding Zhang Juzheng for being domineering.

As for Zhang Ju being the face of Empress Dowager Li, that's even more unfounded!It is true that Empress Dowager Li appreciates Zhang Ju.But it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to live together in private!

The students in the willow forest all echoed: "Mr. Meng is right, Zhang Juzheng is a treacherous minister!"

"Zhang Juzheng's heart can be punished!"

He Liu thought to himself: Back then, the old chief assistant Xu Jie said that if he wanted to implement the New Deal, he had to be an enemy of scholars all over the world.See you today, as expected!These scholars have already regarded Zhang Juzheng as a scourge.

Meng Fanxin scolded Zhang Juzheng for half an hour.Finally, he gave Zhang Juzheng his own conclusion: "Zhang Juzheng is greedy for power, disobedient and unfilial, and inferior to animals! His sinister intentions are far better than Yan Song!"

The students all clapped their hands and applauded.

He Liu and his son He Shizhong looked at each other.

At this time, He Fangqing stood up and said, "Everyone, I want to announce something on behalf of my father. The old head of Lei Ren Academy has returned to his hometown to retire. Mr. Meng, from now on will replace Mr. Lei and be our immediate The new head of Ren Academy!"

Meng Fanxin cupped his hands towards the group of scholars: "Everyone, be polite."

The scholars got up one after another and returned the salute to Meng Fanxin: "Meng Zhangyuan is polite!"

He Fangqing said again: "Everyone, everyone knows that Mengzhangyuan used to be the Ministry of Punishment. It is a clean stream in the court! It is a pity that Zhang Juzheng's dog-legged He Liu framed him, which caused him to lose his official position. Mengzhangyuan The enemy is the enemy of our Liren Academy and Zhiliangmeng! Zhang Juzheng and He Liu, everyone can kill them!"

He Liu almost laughed out loud: A group of helpless scholars, you seem to be short of time to kill me, He Liu.

The crowd dispersed, and the white-clothed scholar led He Liu and He Shizhong to the new director Meng Fanxin.

The white-clothed scholar said: "Mengzhangyuan. These two are comrades who travel in all directions."

He Shizhong took the initiative to speak: "My teacher and I are both believers in Yangming Xinxue. I plan to stay in Liren Academy for two days, and I would like to ask Mengzhang Academy to make it easier for me!"

Meng Fanxin readily agreed: "Since you are fellow students, Liren Academy is your home! You can stay as long as you want. On weekdays, you can exchange knowledge with the students of the academy."

He Liu cupped his hands and said: "Then we will thank Meng Zhangyuan!"

Meng Fanxin asked: "Judging from the accents of the two, it seems to be from the capital."

He Liu quickly said: "Yes, our hometown is the capital. But these years, we have been traveling and studying in all directions."

Meng Fanxin told the white-clothed scholar: "You choose two guest rooms for the two brothers to live in."

The scholar in white led the two of them to the two guest rooms in the southeast corner of the academy.

The white-clothed scholar said: "The dining hall is in the room to the west. You can eat with us. Every morning at noon, we study Mr. Yangming's works in the study hall. At noon, we lecture on scriptures and Taoism in the willow forest. Alright, I'm leaving first. Both of you have a good rest."

After the white-clothed scholar left.He Liu walked to the door and made sure there was no one outside.He whispered to He Shizhong: "Let's stay in Liren Academy for two days first."

He Shizhong said: "Father, since He Xinyin's daughter is here, why don't we let the brothers come in and arrest her? Interrogate her again and force her to reveal He Xinyin's whereabouts."

He Liu shook his head: "Don't scare the snake. Anyway, our brothers have already ambushed around the academy. He Fangqing can't escape from our palm."

He Shizhong was puzzled: "Father, didn't you always teach me that the easiest way is the best way? Now, arresting He Fangqing and extorting a confession by torture is the easiest way to find out He Xinyin!"

He Liudao: "There is something you don't know. Before leaving, Empress Dowager Li made a special request not to touch a single hair of He Fangqing."

He Shizhong looked puzzled: "What does Empress Dowager Li mean?"

He Liu sighed: "I don't know. Empress Dowager Li's edict cannot be disobeyed. I'm afraid that our Jinyiwei brothers will rush into the academy to arrest people rashly, and He Fangqing will be hurt."

Where would He Liu and his son know?Zhang Jing slandered behind Mrs. Li.Empress Dowager Li wanted He Liu to kill He Xinyin first, and then marry He Fangqing to He Liu as a concubine.
