Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 75: Exclusion and Turnaround
In May, an opportunity arose. Kangxi ordered people to compile "Yuanjian Leihan", with Zhang Ying as the chief editor. As Zhang Ying was the leader of the Hanlin Academy and was in charge of compiling books, officials of all ranks in the Hanlin Academy were naturally included in the list of editors.
As the leader of the new generation, Jiang Chen is naturally on the list. If Li Guangdi still holds an important position, there will be no one who will take advantage of him. But people with ulterior motives will think that Jiang Chen is just relying on the authority of his teacher Li Guangdi to bully others in the Hanlin Academy. Don't you think everyone is good enough for you? Now that the situation has changed, you should also have a taste of being trampled in the mud.
Whether Jiang Chen had eyes in his head in the Hanlin Academy, just look at how he gets along with his colleague Shangguan, it is completely false. But for those who want to do bad things, your actions are just giving him a reason to play tricks. Even if Confucius is alive and blocks his way, he is still an unforgivable person.
There are also some people who are attached to the officials who impeached Li Guangdi. As a political enemy, Jiang Chen may also be an opportunity for Li Guangdi to turn things around. After all, he will meet Kangxi from time to time. Who knows if Kangxi will think of Li Guangdi when he sees Jiang Chen? Even if Kangxi can't remember him, Jiang Chen will perform a tearful performance to miss his teacher. How can Kangxi not remember him?
Therefore, they took the attitude of cutting the grass and rooting out Jiang Chen. Only by making it impossible for all the people in Li Guangdi's faction to stand up, could they defend the fruits of victory. Jiang Chen could not have a share of the achievements of this revision of the book.
The rest of the people were simply fools because of their reading. They thought that Li Guangdi was indeed a bad person, and that such a villain had his own fault for losing his official position. Jiang Chen was a disciple of Li Guangdi, and he was probably a hypocritical hypocrite. They were ashamed to be associated with such a person, and their attitude directly showed their disdain.
Among these people in the Hanlin Academy, most of them have probably expressed to Zhang Ying, openly or covertly, that Jiang Chen is inappropriate.
As someone who can truly understand the emperor's intentions, Zhang Ying was speechless about these people who were on the emperor's blacklist one after another. If the emperor really wanted to give up Li Guangdi, he would not let him stay in Beijing. What are you doing now? Do you really think the emperor knows nothing?
Although the bigwigs did not make any statement on this matter, their lackeys were extremely happy about it, and it even formed a kind of public opinion that tended to spread among the people.
---------------Qianqing Palace----------------------
Kangxi threw the intelligence that the secret guard had just sent on the table and sneered: "They are tasting the sweetness and still want to force me to bow my head!"
Kangxi turned the jade ring on his thumb and asked about the recent situation of Jiang Chen, the center of public opinion.
"Liang Jiugong, what has our Jiang Xiuzhuan been doing these days?"
Liang Jiugong was sweating all over. Although he had been living with the emperor like a tiger for so many years, the emperor's majesty was becoming more and more powerful, and he really couldn't stand it!
"In reply to the emperor, Lord Jiang saw Lord Li off a few days ago. On weekdays, apart from going to the Hanlin Academy, he comes to the palace to be on duty. In his free time, he stays at home and does not go out."
Kangxi became interested, "Then he doesn't know what people are saying outside?"
Liang Jiugong wiped his sweat without leaving a trace and replied, "I heard from the subordinates that some blind people also said some unpleasant things in front of Lord Jiang, but Lord Jiang never paid any attention to them, which made those little people very angry."
This made Kangxi laugh, and his previous displeasure was swept away. After a long while, he sighed: "Wangxuan was taught well by Jinqing (Li Guangdi's pen name). Both the master and the apprentice are people who work silently, ignore others' criticism, and are down-to-earth and hardworking."
After hearing this comment, Liang Jiugong secretly took note and decided to be more polite when dealing with Lord Jiang in the future. He would be fine in the future.
Kangxi was very dissatisfied with these gossipers, so he asked Zhang Ying, "These people are so shameless, but Dunfu just pretended not to see it?"
"Master Zhang has always been self-disciplined and polite, so how could he not take action? Just verbal admonishment is useless. Seeing that Master Zhang is unmoved, those people began to instigate the people in the Imperial Academy to isolate Master Jiang!"
Kangxi's eyes became deep. The factional struggles among literati started with the formation of cliques. Now he can call on people to isolate Jiang Chen. If he is not satisfied with himself as the emperor in the future, will he call on people to rebel?
"Who is actively involved in these things? Ask the supervisors to make a list." Kangxi ordered.
Liang Jiugong got goose bumps all over his body at the coldness in Kangxi's words. The emperor's words made his scalp numb. These literati could have provoked anyone else, but they had to jump in front of the emperor. This time, the nine clans will reunite in the underground! Remember not to talk nonsense in the next life.
These people were on the blacklist, and their fate was already determined, but it did not help Jiang Chen's current predicament. Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong: "Are you going to inspect the area around the capital in a few days?"
"Yes! I have already arranged for someone to prepare the things you will need for your trip. Is there anything else that the Emperor would like to ask of you?"
Kangxi issued an imperial decree, asking Jiang Chen to set off as the recorder.
Jiang Chen received the imperial edict, feeling a little confused. He was not unaware of the rejection from the outside world these days, but he did not want to be ruined by these villains. Lord Zhang also hinted to him about accompanying the emperor on the trip, so he should keep a low profile for the time being and protect himself. Jiang Chen knew that it was not his turn to do this.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi actually directly assigned Jiang Chen to accompany him. Jiang Chen thanked him, but before he could react, some people who were just taking advantage of the situation came up to him and complimented him, "Brother Jiang, you got such a good job, it's really enviable!"
Although Jiang Chen now has his own moral standards in mind, he is not a person who is inflexible. He did not blame these people for being fence-sitters, but talked to them politely. His attitude did not change because of his overnight turnaround.
Zhang Ying, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but stroke his beard and sighed: "Li Jinqing is lucky to have such a student. Alas, I also went in and out of Xuanwu Gate at the beginning, why didn't I see it!"
The feeling in his heart was even more brutal. Li Guangdi was not a good person. How could he have such bad luck to meet a student like Jiang Chen? It was really God's fault.
Scholars value inheritance the most. Although they try their best to teach their own children, they are often not satisfactory due to their limited talents. Therefore, being able to have a student who can teach them everything is the dream of countless people. Such an apprentice will not only be a recipient of knowledge, but also inherit the teacher's political ideas and connections.
Now that Li Guangdi has such an heir, how can Zhang Ying not be envious? However, his second son Hengchen (Zhang Tingyu) is also quite talented. No matter how good Jiang Chen is, he is not Li Guangdi's son. In this comparison, he still has the advantage.
Jiang Chen couldn't hear Zhang Ying's high praise for him. He had already arranged to treat everyone after the shift ended, so he let the people around him disperse. He tidied up his messy official uniform and continued to study. The sea of books is endless. He thought he had enough knowledge, but after entering the Hanlin Academy, he realized that there are always people better than you. The collection of books here is as vast as the sea, and he still has a lot to learn!
