Who doesn’t know the Censor of Zuodu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officialdom of the capital?
What's more, when he looked again, he saw that he was also traveling with Zuo Guangdou, who was the censor of Zuo Qiandu at the time and was in charge of the affairs of the capital procuratorate with Yang Lian.
Officials, big and small, made way for a passage.
"Zheng Yuanwai"... Zheng Haizhu smacked this title and couldn't help but laugh.
After coming to this time and space for seven or eight years, from Mrs. Zheng, Yatou Zheng, Miss Zheng, to Dong Zheng's family, Mrs. Zheng, and Master Zheng, this was the first time she heard someone call her "Zheng Yuanwai".
If it weren't for Dong Lin's intention to demote her, a woman who had entered the center of power, as a profiteer, it would be obvious that Zheng Haizhu actually felt that the title "Yuanwai" was quite pleasing to the ear, and it sounded particularly rich and full of richness. The security of gold and silver.
Zheng Haizhu's angry expression of scolding the loudmouthed young people a moment ago turned into a meaningful salute.
"Yang Zongxian, Zuo Yushi, this junior has just returned to the capital, and government affairs are coming one after another. I don't have time to see you two and accuse you."
When Yang Lianzhen stood in front of Zheng Haizhu again, the expression on his face, which was as thick as Zhong Kui's, became complicated again, and did not continue the scornful look that should have followed the "Zheng Yuanwai".
It seems that many people who do not mean what they say suddenly feel a sense of emptiness.
After Yang Lian let out a dull "Uh", Zuo Guangdou, his deputy, raised the sleeves of his official robe and said to Fan Hong: "You are young, very impatient and reckless, making noise in the six major places, what is it like?" What do you think? Since your official department can't restrain the newcomers, why not ask General Yang to talk to your Zhou Shangshu and transfer you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I will take care of you personally."
Zuo Guangdou's tone was not harsh, it sounded more like an old man scolding his nephew in a strange house.
Fan Hong didn't make any excuse, he just raised his hands forward and saluted Yang and Zuo respectfully.
Zuo Guangdou turned to Zheng Haizhu again and said kindly: "Jia Ci enjoyed listening to Member Zheng's talk about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Yesterday, I got some cakes and good ink from my hometown. Please appreciate it. Lu Juren is here to accompany me. Let's go to the humble house together."
…
In Zuofu, twilight is closing, and the insects are waking up one after another after their hibernation, vying to chirp, contributing to the amusement of the good night intoxicated by the spring breeze.
In the front hall, Zuo's mother quickly said goodbye to several "distinguished guests" on the grounds that people are old and prone to fatigue, and Zuo Guangdou's wives and concubines helped her back to the backyard to sleep.
The servants of the Zuo family exchanged a round of hot tea and then retreated to the courtyard to wait.
Yang Lian glanced at the rice paper and Hui ink on the table, and finally cut to the topic of the day, saying: "Scholar juniors, who have just gained fame and are high-spirited, tend to talk about state affairs, which is inevitably as black and white as paper and ink. It’s excusable.”
Zheng Haizhu did not answer immediately, but his expression was calm.
The performance in front of the Liubu Yamen when she was applying for middle school, the script that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou took when they finally appeared, and the situation up to this point in the performance have convinced her that Yang and Zuo should represent the Donglin Sect. After the gunfire, talk to her.
The artillery fire was clumsy and hastily arranged.
From the perspective of future generations, Zheng Haizhu is not too strange.
This may be the true face of Donglin at this time - it cannot be said that he has any superb wisdom in court struggle, he cannot come up with such a practical strategy to enrich the country and strengthen his army, and he cannot develop such a broad political mind. He is more like a window grill. Like this, they put the four words "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" on the foreheads of the members of the faction, and began to attack everywhere, trying to defeat those who disagree with the party.
Even if Huang Zunsu is also a Donglin, Lu Xiangsheng is also a Donglin, and the chief minister of the cabinet Ye Xianggao is also half a Donglin, but Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing, the two real Donglin leaders who have been resurrected by the court, currently seem to have little political power. country, may not be as high as the level of their lectures in the academy.
"Why are you targeting me?" Zheng Haizhu asked full of grievance, breaking the silence in the room.
The bearded Yang Lian raised his eyes and thought to himself, after all, she is still a woman, but she is as strong-willed and strong-willed as the emperor appreciates.
No, I finally couldn't stand it anymore and started to cry.
"Mr. Yang, Master Zuo," Zheng Haizhu wiped his eyes and said angrily, "Feng shui changes quickly, not as fast as the gentlemen of Donglin. At the turn of summer and autumn last year, in this room, the two seniors were still very careful. Discuss how to get the Ministry of Rites to agree that juniors can enter the Wenhua Hall to give lectures. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Donglin will regard me as a heretic. Sirs, since I was able to enter the Donghua Gate, haven't I practiced the Donglin Alliance? Didn’t I use my oath to communicate important matters to you and the princes? Didn’t I try my best to protect you today? Didn’t I use my fair and just advice to make the right answer, so that Mr. Huang Zunsu, who is also a member of the Donglin Clan, can come from the south? After being transferred from Zhili to Tianjin, can the next step be to become an official in the capital? The most important thing is that everything I have done and worked hard for is not for the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't this contrary to your original intention of being an official? "
Yang Lian listened to the woman's ramble with a sullen face, and finally looked at Zuo Guangdou who was standing aside.
Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian had the same idea. The great Ming Dynasty Censor Zuo Du could be in the home of another deputy, and he was ready to frankly advise you, this woman, to go back to Chongming and become the mountain king of the small island in the East China Sea. You once helped Dong Lin run errands.
After the first month of this year, during the regular meeting of the Donglin backbone, Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong proposed that the Zheng family could not stay with the emperor.
Zou Yuanbiao, one of Donglin's "Troika" together with Zhao and Gao, also expressed doubts and objections.
What Zou Yuanbiao means is that after the new emperor ascends the throne and Donglin gains power, he should revise his style of conduct during the Wanli period and promote "harmony". Why rush to make moves that sideline the Qing emperor? Zheng Haizhu is not Zheng Guifei. On the contrary, she is an enemy of the Zhejiang Party. They just run errands and give advice to the emperor.
But Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong quickly came up with a more convincing reason: Although Zheng was closely associated with Huang Zunsu, Lu Xiangsheng and other Donglin sect members, she was also closely related to the Lu family, the border army generals and even the eunuchs in the palace. The friendship is not shallow, and the latter is exactly what Donglin despises or is wary of. Moreover, Zheng himself still maintains a camp at the gateway to the East China Sea.
How could such a person who didn't know what was going on in his heart be allowed to enter the Qianqing Palace to perform the duel? Who knows whether he might become another Liu Jin one day, even if he is not an eunuch but is better than an eunuch.
A few days later, news came from the Hu Ke that Ding Yun had forced a chief executive of the Hu Ke to death in Dongchang. Everyone in Donglin did not celebrate the resignation of Ding Yun, the backbone of the Zhejiang Party, because Yang Lian and others soon found out that Wei Jinzhong, who was responsible for the matter, had gone to Xuanzhen on official business with Zheng Haizhu.
This indeed confirmed the worries of Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong: In order to avenge personal grievances, Zheng was able to expel the powerful officials in the palace and set up traps for the court officials.
She must be kicked away.
