Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 331: End of friendship!

The residence of the Censorate.

The candlelight flickered, and the desk was piled with Cheng Men's lecture notes. Zhu Guangting looked at them one by one, looking at the notes he had taken down in the past, with a complicated expression.

Outside the window, autumn rain was beating on the parasol trees. Jia Yi, his wide robe and sleeves stained with water, strode in from outside.

Seeing Zhu Guangting sorting out Cheng Men's lecture notes, Jia Yi immediately smiled and said, "Why, Brother Gongfan, did you call me over to make a new interpretation of Master Cheng's lecture notes?"

Zhu Guangting stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Ming, I finally waited for you. Why, are you so busy recently?"

Jia Yi smiled and said, "That's right. There are many things to do, such as the sacrifice and tomb-entering of the late emperor. We also have to deal with the aftermath of the emperor's ascension to the throne. Next, we will probably have to change the reign title. There are so many things to do that we can't finish them all in a short time.

It is better to be an imperial censor. You still have time to review the true meaning of Master Cheng. Oh, that is great, that is great!"

Hearing Jia Yi say this, Zhu Guangting suddenly felt ashamed, but this shame was only fleeting. Although the document in his sleeve was thin, he felt it was as heavy as Mount Tai.

Zhu Guangting thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle Ming, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."

Jia Yi smiled heartily and said, "No need to be so polite, just say it directly!"

Zhu Guangting smiled and nodded, saying, "Today I met the son of Minister Fan. Fan Zizheng said that Minister Fan admires me very much and that I may be appointed to a new position in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi was immediately delighted and said, "This is great news, sir, please treat us, we must treat you!"

Zhu Guangting smiled and nodded, "Please, I must. Haha, I will invite you to the Green Waist Courtyard when the time comes!"

Jia Yiha smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that Master Cheng will criticize you? Green Waist is where the fireworks are. Hey, let's go to Fanlou."

Zhu Guangting smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't ask Master Cheng."

Jia Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "You want to treat me twice, hehe, that's fine, I can eat two meals in a row, then I'm taking advantage."

Zhu Guangting shook his head and said, "Just once."

Jia Yi's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned and said, "Sir, Master Cheng taught us everything, but you got promoted but didn't invite Master Cheng. I'm a little confused."

Zhu Guangting forced a smile and said, "Uncle Ming, from now on, I won't go to Master Cheng's place anymore."

Jia Yi's face suddenly turned bad, and he said, "Sir, what's going on? I don't understand."

Zhu Guangting tried to look calm and said softly, "Fan Zizheng said that Minister Fan would recommend me, but Minister Fan felt that Master Cheng's remarks were a bit radical and not good for the government, so..."

"So you want to change your sect! So you want to betray your master, right? Gong Xuan, tell me, is this the case?" Jia Yi said coldly.

Zhu Guangting argued: "Uncle Ming, although I call him Master Cheng, my teacher is Master Hu. I just admire his knowledge..."

Jia Yi was immediately furious. He slammed the table and knocked the pen holder off the table. He shouted, "Mr. Zhu! Do you really want to be a traitor to Chengmen?"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and he grabbed the Yichuan Yichuan on the table and waved it, saying: "...When we were in Fugou Academy, did you ever think about this day when you and I were disciples?"

Zhu Guangting bent down and slowly picked up the wolf hair brush, dipped it in ink and moistened it, saying, "Uncle Ming, look at the ink in the inkstone - (stirring it with the brush) the turbid ones will be turbid, and the clear ones will be clear.

Duke Lü Ji said it well in Yanhe Hall yesterday: "The imperial court is not the White Deer Cave."

Jia Yi sneered and said: "What a great debate between turbidity and clarity!"
When we were impeaching Cai Que and Zhang Dun before, who was it that pulled me aside outside the Chuigong Hall and said, "The orthodoxy of Taoism is the orthodoxy of politics"?
Now Fan Yaofu has not yet taken charge of a key position, and he just said he wanted to recommend you, so you are so anxious to use the Luoxue Lectures as a token of your loyalty?"

Jia Yi pulled out a copy of the impeachment document from the documents on Zhu Guangting's desk and sneered, "... Is this impeachment of Fan Yaofu for "tolerating the New Party" going to be rejected now?"

Zhu Guangting stopped writing suddenly, ink stains spread across the rice paper, and he suddenly became a little furious.

I just don't know whether he was angry out of shame or he was expressing something in his heart.

He only said: "...Su Yun of the Shu Party built the Qingming Riverside Park in Bianjing and planned to build a water weir in Hebei. The Shu Party has fully cooperated with the Shu Party to build fortifications in Hebei!

And you and I are still quibbling over the "remnants of Wang Jiefu"! Last month, Empress Gao summoned me to an audience and asked why the commercial tax in Fuzhou had not increased for three years - what did Master Cheng answer? "

Jia Yi looked at Zhu Guangting with gritted teeth.

Zhu Guangting sneered, "Just follow the justice of heaven! Master Cheng's answer is just follow the justice of heaven! The commercial tax in Fuzhou has not increased for three years. What does this have to do with justice of heaven? Uncle Ming, tell me, what does this have to do with it!"

Jia Yi angrily said: "As long as there is justice, everything can be solved. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhu Guangting laughed and said, "Then do you know what Liu Xinlao said?" Jia Yi snorted and said, "What insights can he have?"

Zhu Guangting sighed and said, "Liu Xinlao's answer is "unblocking the canal transport". Yes, Fuzhou originally relied on the canal to transport materials. The canal transport was blocked, and Fuzhou's commercial tax did not increase for three years. This is the answer. What does this have to do with justice?
Uncle Ming, I see it clearly now. Now we have to do practical things. Doing practical things will benefit the court and the people. It is useless to talk about theories in vain!

Nowadays, whether it is Prime Minister Lu, Vice Minister Lu, or Minister Fan, they are all practical people. Whether they are from the Shuo Party or the Shu Party, they are all doing practical things, so they are highly valued!
And Master Cheng is still talking about the dignity of teachers. That is the government, that is the emperor. Master Cheng is just a lecturer, yet he dares to talk about the dignity of teachers in front of the emperor. Don't you think it's pedantic? "

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi flew into a rage and approached the case, pointing at Zhu Guangting and angrily yelling, "Mr. Zhu! Are you trying to betray your master and ancestors?"

Zhu Guangting stood up suddenly, his official robe swept the teacup off the ground, but he didn't care at all, and lowered his voice and said: "Do you think I don't want to "refute your will" as Mr. Yichuan said?
But now it is Lü Dafang's "mediation" and Fan Zuyu's "neutralization"! "

Zhu Guangting took out the secret letter from his sleeve and said, "Look, Wang Yansou has already started to expel Master Cheng!

Master Cheng is confused. The Shuo Party has no grudge against our Luo Party, but Master Cheng insisted on opposing the "Qingmiao Law Reform Plan" proposed by the Shuo Party and proposed the idea of ​​"restoring Changping Warehouse".

This move was not only refuted by Minister Lu who said that "during the Yuanfeng period, the storage of grain in the Changping warehouse could only last for three months, and the Qingmiao loan could survive millions of households", but it also aroused the jealousy of the Shuo Party.

Now Wang Yansou has already planned to impeach Master Cheng for insisting on sitting as a lecturer, intending to use this to expel Master Cheng from the ranks of attendants. If he is expelled from Bianjing, the decline of the Luo Party will be imminent!"

Jia Yi was immediately distressed when he heard this and said, "Since you knew that the Luo Party was in the most dangerous time, you didn't think about how to protect Master Cheng, but instead quickly fled to flatter Fan Chunren... I am really ashamed to be associated with you!"

Jia Yi suddenly started coughing violently. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. Zhu Guangting was sharp-eyed and suddenly saw blood seeping from his sleeves. He quickly supported Jia Yi, took out his handkerchief, and said, "Uncle Ming, you are coughing up blood..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Yi pushed him away. Jia Yi covered his lips with his sleeve, staggered against the pillar, gasped twice, and coughed again, then said in a hoarse voice: "Ahem. Zhu Gongqian, remember - the pen of history is as sharp as a rafter!
In the history of the future, between your name and mine, there will be an entire lineage of Taoism!"

After saying that, Jia Yi slammed the door and walked out. The sound of broken chanting could be heard in the night rain.

"In times of adversity, this is what must happen...In times of adversity, this is what must happen..."

Zhu Guangting stood there for a long time, took out the share document from his sleeve, and looked at it under the light for a while. When he looked up again, he was already full of energy and sneered, "Pedantic! Pedantic!"

Zhu Guangting glanced fiercely at the Cheng Men Yao Yi on the desk, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Someone come!"

A clerk outside came hurriedly.

Zhu Guangting shouted, "Bring the brazier!"

When the brazier was delivered, Zhu Guangting dismissed the clerks, then lit several copies of Chengmen Essentials and threw them into the brazier!

Watching the fire in the brazier gradually go out, Zhu Guangting suddenly pushed the door open, got on the carriage and walked into the dark rainy night.

……

The wind and rain beat against the window frames.

Zhu Guangting's cloak was covered with rain, and his knuckles rang on the copper rings in Yang's house.

Yang Guobao opened the door and asked in astonishment, "Brother Gongqian, why are you here at this hour, on a rainy night?"

Zhu Guangting took off his cloak and sat down. Facing Yang Guobao, he was much more direct. He took out the share certificate without hesitation and said, "Baochen, this is given to you by Su Yun."

Yang Guobao took a look at the shareholding documents and was immediately shocked. Then he thought of something even more shocking and said, "Brother Gongfan, you..."

Zhu Guangting shook his head and said, "Shu and Luo are fighting, and I will never join the Shu Party no matter what. Although the shares are provided by Su Yun, we just need to follow Minister Fan.

Minister Fan’s son, Fan Zizheng, said that if we go there, we will be recommended in the future!”

Yang Guobao looked as if he didn't recognize Zhu Guangting when he heard this. After a while, he asked, "Are you still the Zhu Guangting who is as happy as sitting in the spring breeze?"

When Zhu Guangting first came into contact with Cheng Hao's teachings, he listened to Cheng Hao's lectures in Ruzhou and was so fascinated that he listened for more than a month before returning home. When he returned home, he praised Cheng Hao's exquisite lectures to everyone he met. He described himself like this: "Guangting sat in the spring breeze for a month."

When Yang Guobao mentioned the old story, Zhu Guangting showed no shame and said with a smile: "It is already autumn raining."

Yang Guobao suddenly waved his sleeves to sweep the teacup away, sneered, and said, "So Zhu Zhengyan changed his allegiance to become a slave to three families like Lu Jifu?"

Zhu Guangting picked up the broken porcelain, which cut his finger. Zhu Guangting smiled and put his injured finger on the document. Blood seeped into the document, and then he asked: "Look at this blood stain - does it look like the memorial you wrote to impeach Zhang Zihou?
Minister Fan promised you that if you could become his disciple, he would mediate between you and Su Yunzhi."

Yang Guobao sneered and said, "Su Yun is nothing but a poor Minister of Works. What can he do to me?"
