Chapter 48 The old cicada hissed the sound of wheels (3)
Zhang Shiqi is nearly 60 years old. He thought he had already extinguished his desire for fame and fortune, and only had a thought of playing with his grandchildren in the future. However, he didn't know that when people sat in the house, the opportunity was so hard that he could not stop it. After all, he was an experienced person. In the past few decades, it was the most turbulent era of the Ming Dynasty. He had never eaten pork and was used to eating pork. Just talking about a few words, he could understand the causes and consequences of the ups and downs, lefts, lefts, and lefts, and lefts, and lefts, and the consequences were thoroughly understood.
"This matter is related to the foundation of the country. How can I refuse it by chance?" Zhang Shiqi said seriously: "Master, please let someone prepare a horse at the side door, and the young man will come when he goes."
"That's right." Li Mingrui nodded and responded.
Zhang Shiqi flapped his robe and walked straight to Xiang Yu's office. Since he had worked in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, who wouldn't give this senior a face? Naturally, he went smoothly and went straight into the inside. Xiang Yu was writing so vividly that he had scolded Tian Cunshan and Wu Weiye and was playing Zhou Jing. Judging from the structure of his memorials, it seemed that he wanted to catch all the people around the prince.
Zhang Shiqi's light ball of ink balls in his hand dripped water on the inkstone, and he could only hear the rustling sound, as if half of the accompaniment of Xiang Yu.
When the Chinese civilization reached the late Ming Dynasty, cultural affairs were particularly sophisticated. If the Tang people valued character and Song people valued elegance, the Ming people valued style. No matter how ordinary the things in life were, they paid attention to rhyme, elegance, style, tolerance, and high quality.
Xiang Yu just flew for a glance, and then he sank into the memorial again. He was like a powerful general who heard the war drum, and his fighting spirit became more and more intense.
But in a moment, Zhang Shiqi had already ground a thick pool of ink, bowed to say goodbye, and left.
At this time, Xiang Yu's memorial came to an end, echoing the beginning, begging the emperor to accept his loyal advice and ask the emperor to punish him.
Li Mingrui would go to find an unknown old clerk, not to seek medical treatment in a hurry.
Zhang Shiqi went in and grind the ink and then came out, which was definitely not aimless.
I'm afraid the entire Hanlin Academy doesn't know that this Zhang Xianggong, who failed the exams, has the ability to remember everything at a glance. If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't have been a scholar in his teens and became a juren at the age of 20.
Jinshi thinks of themselves very high, and always feels inexplicably superior to scholars who fail to pass the Jinshi exam. They never believe that an old scholar who can't even pass the Jinshi exam can actually have such high-end talent.
If Li Mingrui hadn't accidentally discovered that the old clerk had just glanced at the copy and could have written hundreds or thousands of words, so he was worried, but he didn't expect that it would be the current situation.
Zhang Shiqi returned to his office, without saying a word, and even asked for a pen and picked up a pen. He wrote smoothly on the rice paper: "I have been given the kindness of the holy minister, and I have to be trembling since I was trembling..." The pen was not lost, but it was exactly the same as Xiang Yu's memorial.
After a while, Zhang Shiqi put down his pen, picked up the paper with both hands, and blasted the wind to make the moji dry faster. Then he said to Li Mingrui: "Forgive me, Master, I'm rude."
"How dare you?" Li Mingrui had read for a while and said, "Xiang Yu's article is indeed wonderful, and I'm afraid it's not conducive to the Eastern Palace."
"Please send it here by me." Zhang Shiqi handed the memorial to Li Mingrui, with reluctance in his eyes.
Li Mingrui took the stolen memorial, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "You go with me, maybe the prince will be summoned, which is more convenient."
Zhang Shiqi was immediately overjoyed and said, "Abide by the order!"
Li Mingrui gently rolled up the manuscript and quickly walked out of the next door. Outside, he had already waited for the carriage prepared by the Li family, the two got on the carriage and rushed straight to the outer residence of the East Palace.
...
After Zhu Ciyang received Xiang Yu's memorial, it would be impossible to say that he was not angry. An official who had just received flattered and hoped to get favor from the Eastern Palace, and then wrote such a murderous memorial, which would kill Tian Cunshan, Wu Weiye, Zhou Jing and other direct descendants of the Eastern Palace. This is not just despicable? It is simply vicious!
However, Zhu Cilang's anger was mostly due to the youth hormones given to him by his body. As a professional manager who has experienced strong winds and waves, Zhu Cilang had long seen all kinds of ugliness and evil in the material world. Almost instantly, Zhu Cilang had already smiled and said, "Go and call Wu Weiye and let him see this peerless masterpiece."
Wu Weiye didn't think so.
No one knew what he was thinking, maybe he didn't even know... After reading the second paragraph of the memorial, Xiang Yu said that he was a villain of the eunuch and flattered the eunuch and was filthy with the ban on the palace, Wu Weiye fainted very happily. He pinched the man, patted his chest, carried it out to water it, and finally rescued Wu Shuzi.
Liu Ruoyu, with the permission of the prince, read the memorial and slowly handed it back to the prince, saying, "Your Highness, this article is indeed extremely vicious. Although there is no word to target Your Highness, he does not forget to slander Your Highness every word. It seems that he is loyal and courageous, but he cannot hide the private revenge inside."
"Yes," Zhu Cixuan patted the book case lightly, "He said that I was young and ignorant, and seemed to be protecting me, in other words, "I'm not young."
Li Mingrui sat on the official hat and chair, still sitting on pins and needles.
"I also said that I was surrounded by bad-minded eunuchs and villains with inferior character, so I just said, "Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black." Zhu Cilang's voice gradually became colder.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If the prince is mixed with these people, his character is very questionable. Even if the prince is really "pure", then the young prince's judgment and cognition are mostly unreliable. Why should such a prince let him wander outside the palace? Your Majesty should let the prince go home earlier. Moreover, can the prince really become a good emperor in the future with such a behavior? This is something that everyone cares about.
This is what Xiang Yu meant by the meaning of the implicit voice.
As Zhu Cixuan saw and heard in the past, did the Emperor Ming Dynasty depose the crown prince in 257 years? Emperor Wanli of Shenzong wanted to come over and put it into practice, but in the end he was in opposition to the entire civil service group for decades. In the end, he failed to ascend the throne, and was defeated and fell from the battle against the foundation of the country.
It is quite a bit too much to say that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were able to undermine the imperial power and kidnap the emperor. Even the powerful Xiangru Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng dare not say that. However, in the process of confrontation and cooperation between the civil officials and the emperor, they have become an existence that is no less than the imperial power, and even at some point they have to overwhelm it. This is an indisputable fact.
Now the Donglin Fushe group has been almost cleaned up, but civil servants are always the natural alliance of the prince of the East Palace, and there is a bit of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend". When Zhu Cilang did not really commit crimes against the entire civil servant group, no one would attack the prince. If someone was so unhappy, maybe Xiang Yu would be the first to jump out to "protect" the prince to prove his loyalty to the foundation of the country.
However, if the emperor can teach this prince a lesson that does not play according to the rules, it is also something that many people like to hear.
The prince has not touched everyone's core interests yet, but he has revealed such restlessness. Who knows what will happen in the future?
