"You're a bit fake." Huang Daozhou always spoke directly and readily, saying anything to the emperor. He immediately said to Lu Xiangsheng: "You went to the Hutchison Trading Company to have a long time to have tea and sit there. If you have the time to see me?"

"How did Brother Youxuan know about this?"

"I went to the cabinet to do business this afternoon, and happened to meet the seal officer of the Jinyiwei who was talking about it in the cabinet. He knew that I was the same year as you, and you were the one who was going to report today. But he said that it might be better to know that you are very concerned about Hutchison because you are going to take office, so you have this business."

"Oh, so that's it."

Like an ordinary civil servant, Lu Xiangsheng had no favoritism towards Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

After all, over the past two hundred years, everyone understood that like eunuchs, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei were extensions of imperial power, and were unrestrained and the most fierce extensions.

People say that the factory guards are the eyes and ears of the emperor, and without the ears, the emperor will be deaf and blind, but this is still the case of the Ming Dynasty. There were no factory guards in the Qing Dynasty, but the centralized rule was much more powerful than the Ming Dynasty. People developed slaves and ministers into secret spies, and their methods were indeed a hundred times better than those of the Ming Dynasty.

When Huang Daozhou saw Lu Xiangsheng's face, he said lightly: "Actually, I am like Jiandou, and I am very tired of factory guards, but I have no objection to this matter. You must know that everyone knows that Hutchison makes good use of the detailed works of spies. My Ming Dynasty has this kind of generation everywhere. It's okay that factory guards cannot go out, but in the capital, they always have to monitor these people. Therefore, the emperor ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to monitor Hutchison, although they could not agree, they were not convenient to object."

Later generations only knew that Huang Daozhou was dismissed from office and removed from office when confronted Chongzhen in person. He was an image of a corrupt scholar. In fact, compared with Liu Zongzhou who was truly stubborn as a stubborn stone, Huang Daozhou was still very capable of change.

Liu Zongzhou was unable to do anything when the Southern Ming Dynasty fell, but Huang Daozhou was able to be appointed as the Grand Secretary and Minister of the Longwu Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and could create an atmosphere of common hatred of the enemy in Fujian, and also recruit troops to attack the Qing army.

If Zheng Zhilong hadn't been determined to surrender, the situation in Fujian and Jiangxi was not very bad at that time, but once Zheng Zhilong's attitude was decided, Huang Daozhou would have no way to turn things around.

Wen Anzhi also came here to greet him. No one knew that Wen Anzhi also joined the cabinet in the Southern Ming Dynasty. In the second year of Tianqi, quite a few of them entered the cabinet after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone present could know about this, they would not know whether they were crying or laughing.

"It's true that love is a must." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Brother Youxuan will not blame him?"

"I'm just joking." Huang Dao Zhou Yangang's straight personality is really hard to laugh at.

After a while, Wang Jilian also arrived, but Huang Daozhou didn't pretend to be slutty to this person. He just nodded and asked everyone to go into his study to speak.

"The three halls were completed." Huang Dao said while walking around: "The master has made great contributions and wants to be the prince's grand tutor. What do you think?"

All present were Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, and the examiner at that time was Yuan Keli, who was wise, decisive, smart, and capable as a few talented civil servants. It can be said that the heroes of the late Ming Dynasty could not be fully qualified in terms of their character. In terms of true abilities, Sun Chengzong had to give up Yuan Keli to go for a mile.

Xiong Tingbi, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chuanting. These people are the most outstanding among the civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty. Regardless of ethics or ability, Yuan Keli, Hong Chengchou, and Lu Xiangsheng are the top ones, followed by Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others.

Yuan Chonghuan is also an outstanding figure. Judging from his experience, he is also a top-notch ability, but he has fatal flaws in his personality, so he is not considered first-class.

"The teacher should refuse." Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since Wei Yin's work, the teacher has submitted memorials to express his dissatisfaction many times. How could he accept it at this time?"

"It's reasonable." Wen Anzhi said: "I heard that there are often unknown people walking around in front of the teacher's house. It should be the beating man from the East Factory."

"It's okay." Lu Xiangsheng said: "Teacher is in the Emperor's heart. If it weren't for the eunuch party, he should have recovered long ago. At least in the emperor's heart, the teacher is the best candidate for his soldiers."

Tianqi really recognized Yuan Keli's ability. If Yuan Keli was not excluded and was still in office, he was still in the position of governor of Denglai, and even gave him the title of governor, then Chen Yourong and Denglai Navy would still have to be used. Even if Mao Wenlong was dissatisfied, he would not be able to escape from Denglai's control. Yuan Keli could effectively control and coordinate the three aspects of Dongjiang, Denglai, and Navy. The situation in the entire southern Liaoning and Kuandianpi Island area would be a hundred times better than now, and Dongjiang would not gradually become a difficult situation. Now the court is difficult to effectively control Dongjiang, and it is basically Mao Wenlong has the final say.

If you want to fight, fight, defend, defend, and report the nonsense. The court can only pinch its nose and not scold it. At most, it will not recognize Dongjiang's military achievements.

If Yuan Keli were there, he might not have reached the point he is now.

But it's okay to say this. As long as the emperor uses Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Keli, who has a background in Donglin, would never be able to use it. This is the iron rule of political struggle, and the emperor has no choice.

Unless he held back when he was fighting Donglin at that time and left some of the forces to Donglin as checks and balances for the eunuch party, if the eunuch party dared to give up, Donglin could come back at any time.

Without Donglin, you can also support Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, or Chu Party.

The emperor was still too young back then and was a little fucked.

"I have written to the teacher." Huang Daozhou respected Yuan Keli the most in his life. After Yuan Keli passed away, he wrote a lot of articles, but the matter involved the teacher's reputation throughout his life, he did not hesitate at all. He walked slowly forward and said: "Teacher cannot be confused. We should remind students."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the small courtyard of the Huang Mansion, and there were three entrances in total. The courtyard was very small. After passing two gates, it was the main hall, which was also Huang Daozhou's bedroom and study. This courtyard was also valuable in the capital. Huang Daozhou's salary would definitely not be able to afford it. Fortunately, his gentry family should be supported by the family, so he would not ask Confucian masters like Huang Daozhou to borrow money to buy a house.

He heard Huang Daozhou's words and said decisively: "My teacher cares about reputations more than fame and fortune throughout his life. I think Brother Youxuan is too worried!"

"Love a reputation is more than fame..." Huang Daozhou seemed to chew on this for a moment, and finally moved, crossed his hands and bowed: "My teacher is indeed like this. Jiandou is right, I think I am the one who thinks!"

"Brother is just too worried." Lu Xiangsheng said: "In my opinion, the teacher cannot accept it."

Wen Anzhi said on the side: "I won't mention this anymore, everyone has come out."

Wang Jilian saw another group of people walking out. The Huangfu study room was not big and the courtyard was clean. There were two large jars under the main hall, which stored water and lotus planted in it. It was blooming. On the left was a small bamboo forest, with a row of benches that could sit and read books during the day. On the right were a few roses and other flower trees, which were also blooming, exuding a burst of fragrance.

It turned out that it was Wang Jiayan and Wen Zhenmeng, and Lu Xiangsheng smiled and bowed: "Zhuangyuan Gong, Brother Kaimei, it's rare."

Lu Xiangsheng hasn't seen each other for a long time. They are both elites with lofty ambitions, outstanding character and ability. They usually write letters to each other, and even if they don't meet each other, they are too close. In contrast, Wang Jilian, who has been in the position of the sixth rank chief for several years, has been mediocre and appears to be quite ordinary.

Seeing that Wen Zhenmeng, Wang Jiayan and others were all there, Wang Jilian also came to see him quickly. His abilities and official positions were average, but fortunately, it was one of the same year, so everyone would not reject him.

Wen Zhenmeng was the first place in the Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, which is the first in the first class, commonly known as the top scholar. However, he was good at literary talent and performed averagely in politics and military affairs, but no matter how he would be able to perform his position in Jingqing in the future, and there would be too many reputations for the top scholar. However, as long as he was the top scholar, he might not be able to enter the cabinet, and he would probably still get a better position in Jingqing.

Wang Jiayan's courtesy name is Kaimei, and he is also from Fujian. He is of the same origin as Huang Daozhou, and his age is similar. His preference is to read military books and talk about military tactics. He was famous in the same year and was smart and diligent in his work. After the Jinshi of the People's Republic of China, he was not assigned to him after the end of his political status. The Ministry of Personnel meant to let him go out of Beijing. Now he is still choosing a place to be the magistrate. According to the news in the Ministry of Personnel in the same year, it is probably divided into Nanzhili or Zhejiang, which are relatively easy to achieve political achievements.

These people are outstanding people among the Jinshi in the second year of the Tianqi period. They gathered in Huang Daozhou's family and formed a small political circle. They can also be said to be a small circle composed of peripheral members of the Donglin Party. They are not the core, so they have not suffered much impact in the current dynasty, and even have channels for their rise.

"Come on, this is Shi Kefa Shi Xianzhi." Huang Daozhou pointed to a young man standing tall and introduced to Lu Xiangsheng and others: "This is a master of Zuo Dongxiang Gong. Zuo Gong told his sons that you are mediocre and can inherit my achievements. This person must be this! Well, he is the one in front of you."

Huang Daozhou rarely socializes people. Although he is not as rigid as Liu Zongzhou, he is still a Confucian master. He talks and jokes during the same year. It is a limit to other ordinary officials or famous scholars who want to come to his door, let alone get praise from him. He is quite rigid and obedient in his bones. After the failure to raise troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he was killed and executed in Nanjing. Before leaving, he still remembers that the calligraphy and paintings he owed to others were not completed. So before he was executed, he wrote and painted calmly, meticulously and had no loss of standard. The life and death mark is the most test of people. Whether it is true Taoism or false Taoism, you can tell at this moment.

Those who can be praised by Huang Daozhou with great care are not ordinary people. Everyone's expressions are much warmer and they all bow to him.

Although Shi Kefa obviously went to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam, he did not have the title of Jinshi, and everyone also met with an equal attitude.

Shi Kefa laughed and bowed, and greeted everyone one by one. When they bowed, Shi Kefa bent down to show respect. After getting up, his expression was as usual, and he did not show deliberate flattery or arrogant expression.

He is neither humble nor arrogant, has a calm expression and outstanding appearance.
