Chapter 276 Zhang Siwei was isolated and depressed
"You stop!"
"stop it now!"
At this time, Zhang Chonggong, the right political officer, and Li Ping, the deputy commander in chief, who were being escorted to be tortured, also shouted loudly when they saw this.
After Zhang Chonggong and Li Ping were exposed by Jinyiwei's secret agents for luring bandits into the pass, Jinyiwei secretly escorted the capital to the capital with the cooperation of Jiliao governor Zhang Jiayin and commander-in-chief Ma Jin.
Now the two became emotional because they saw that some of their sons who were officials under Wang Bao and Zhou Sizhong were slaughtered because they followed Wang Bao and Zhou Sizhong to break into the palace.
Zhang Chonggong even wanted to kneel down to Ma Gui and others, and said in a crying voice: "I beg you to stop!"
Ma Gui looked at him and said, "Everyone prospers, every one loses all! Since you all rose up because of Yang Zhao, and you still value Yang Zhao's kindness to you more than the king's kindness, give him to your self-interest. It is more important than military merit rewards, so naturally it will all be lost because of Yang Zhao. Winners and losers, big men, dare to act, why do you have to be begging?!"
"Ma, it's easy for you to say!"
"Looking at it now, it must be you who backtracked and harmed us, you despicable and shameless villain!"
Li Ping, the deputy general, scolded Ma Gui angrily.
Ma Gui snorted coldly and said: "You have no king and no father, and you are despicable and shameless people who want to force the palace to seek rebellion!"
Li Ping couldn't help but blushed, and held back for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Because he can't really just say bullshit loyalty, interests come first, and that won't do anything to Ma Gui.
Ma Gui also looked at him leisurely.
"That's it!"
"We admit defeat!"
"If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have thought about joining the bandits to enter the customs just because I thought about using the bandits to threaten the powerful and powerful in the capital to give us greater benefits in the future!"
At the end, Li Ping said something helplessly, and smiled wryly.
Not long after, the two were tied to a rack and began to be scratched.
When Ma Gui and Chen Lin were dealing with the rebels at Dongzhimen, Shen Shixing came to Zhang Hong who was going to be the supervisor of ceremonies when he left the palace and said:
"Insiders, please stop!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hong stopped.
Seeing this, Zhang Jing, who was about to enter the palace for duty, also came over to Zhang Hong and Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing said with a smile at this time: "The turmoil tonight must be known to the two father-in-laws. Since everyone has participated in the New Deal when the Taishi was in power, it is difficult not to be accompanied by villains. Hate, and the only thing we can rely on is the Holy One, if the Holy One is safe, we will be safe."
Zhang Hong and Zhang Jing nodded.
Zhang Jing also asked directly: "What exactly does Mr. Ge want to say?"
"Although the great government should be implemented slowly, those who oppose the great government should be regarded as enemies and bandits. It is better to treat villains first and then gentlemen!"
Shen Shixing replied.
Zhang Jing nodded.
Zhang Hong then asked, "Are you worried about the emperor's safety?"
Shen Shixing nodded: "At this time, there are Jin Yiwei next to him. It's not a private opinion in the mansion, nor a private message. It's not a secret to the two father-in-laws, but to speak out for His Majesty's safety. The two father-in-laws must be cautious when choosing people to enter the palace. It's not because you are old and talkative, and you deliberately want to teach the two father-in-laws how to do things, the two father-in-laws are already mature people, but I am afraid that the two father-in-laws may not have considered everything comprehensively, but for the sake of your majesty's safety, so I have to remind you."
"Please speak directly."
Zhang Hong laughed.
Shen Shixing said: "When selecting someone to enter the palace, it is best to first have a clear background, second, not choose eunuchs, and third, do not choose people who can read and write. People who read sage books will become two types of people, either worse or better. , it is better to select those who do not study first to enter the palace, and then train them in the inner school."
"Exactly."
Zhang Hong nodded.
Zhang Jing said: "Our family will also remember the old man's words."
Shen Shixing handed over and left here.
Yu Youding followed up and asked, "Are you worried that the court will make a mistake?"
Shen Shixing nodded: "Since we have reached the point where swords are on the verge of breaking out, there is nothing wrong with being careful."
Yu Youding nodded after hearing this, and said: "Ten million taels! I thought they would not disregard the friendship between scholars. If they backed down and compromised, they would be fine. Now that they think about it, even if they personally want to let it go, they want to liquidate the grand master. People in the party will not let it go!"
"So, did you suddenly propose to establish a new etiquette law in front of the imperial court?"
Shen Shixing asked.
Yu Youding folded his hands in front of his belly, shook his crown slightly, and said with a smile: "It's not just for himself, but also for the world. With the development of the current situation, it is inevitable that the old rituals and music will collapse. There must be new ones." Ritual!"
Shen Shixing nodded: "The Confucian Temple needs to attract more new sages."
"I know who the Lord wants to attract, but this matter should be done slowly!"
Pan Sheng came over at this moment and said something.
Shen Shixing and Yu Youding looked at Pan Sheng, and then nodded.
"Let's go back to the official residence together, starting tomorrow, the cabinet has to do something!"
Pan Sheng said something at this time.
Yu Youding nods his head.
Shen Shixing smiled back and asked, "It's so cold so late, where else can I go?"
Yu Youding said: "It just so happens that there is a jar of Shaoxing daughter red that was brought to Beijing when he left Zhejiang. Why don't Er Gong go to me to get rid of the cold?"
"It's hard to turn down the kindness, so it's a nuisance!"
"By the way, decide on the distribution of the six subjects?"
As Shen Shixing said, he asked the two of them.
Pan Sheng said: "Since you are the second assistant, you should pick this one."
"Why don't we call us good wine?"
At this moment, Zhang Xueyan, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, came over and asked with a loud smile.
Liu Yingjie, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, pointed to Zhang Xueyan, and smiled at Shen Shixing and other cabinet ministers: "This gentleman has always had good ears and eyes!"
"Since everyone is a member of the public party, there is no need to distinguish between the vulgar and the pure, and there is no need to distinguish between Zhejiang, Wu, Yan and Qi. Why don't we really disturb Yugong Qingjing together?"
Shen Shixing suggested with a smile at this time.
Xu Xuemo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, came over and asked, "Will it be too disturbing?"
Yu Youding smiled and said, "No problem!"
So, this group of ruling ministers came to the mansion together, talking and laughing at Yanyan.
What they don't know is that if Zhu Yijun hadn't killed those who opposed the reform with his own hands, didn't liquidate Zhang Juzheng's party, and didn't condone the speech officials, they would have never been able to do so. Now they can live in harmony, but only because of the intensification of party struggles as the liquidation intensifies, that is, the emergence of the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, and the Donglin Party, making it impossible for them, the scholar-bureaucrats from all over the world, Get together and talk.
When Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng, Yu Youding, Zhang Xueyan, Xu Xuemo, etc. returned to the mansion talking and laughing together, Zhang Siwei, who was in the mansion, stood alone in the huge mansion compound in a daze.
Zhang Siwei glanced at the tree on his left, and then at the tree on his right.
lonely.
A loneliness like never before.
At this moment, it began to fill his mind, making his face more and more unhappy.
Because the emperor did not summon him!
In the entire mansion compound, all the ministers in power, except for Yang Zhao who betrayed and conspired against him, and Zhang Mengli, the Minister of Dali Temple who was imprisoned because he insisted on pleading for the counselor and was imprisoned because of his defection but did not seek rebellion, only he A dignified chief minister was not summoned!
As a result, he is the only minister in Nuo Da's official residence.
At this time, the civil servants who agree with his political views are either sent to death row by the decree he personally drafted, or they will not come to see him because they despise him for being shameless and cowardly. Yidao is still in Jinyiwei Prison, just like Zhang Mengli, because he didn't listen to Shen Shixing, but listened to Yang Zhao, and insisted on asking the emperor not to kill the official, but said that if he did, he would not be able to kneel for a long time, and was eventually captured by Jinyiwei.
Therefore, no other civil servants came to see him in the mansion compound.
The cold wind whistled.
Cold branches fall.
Zhang Siwei didn't expect that he, the chief assistant, would do this.
When others are the chief assistant, there are always crowds.
And he is a nobody.
But people are social animals after all, and they also have vanity. Now that no one comes to flatter him, Zhang Siwei looks depressed.
What Zhang Siwei was even more frustrated with was that the speech officials were indulged by him, and after impeaching Zhang Juzheng's party members, they still failed to achieve the goal of liquidating Zhang's party.
Soon.
Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng, Yu Youding, Zhang Xueyan, Xu Xuemo and a large number of ministers in power were returning to the official residence compound, talking and laughing, and happened to pass by his chief assistant official residence.
When Zhang Siwei saw so many of them and how lively they were, he felt jealous and disappointed for a moment.
But Zhang Siwei still habitually pretended to be humble, and came over to greet these people.
"Ha ha!"
But these people ignored him and only looked sideways at him.
Zhang Xueyan even smiled at him.
Even Shen Shixing ignored him as the chief assistant, and went to Yu Youding's scholar's mansion with other ministers, laughing and laughing.
This was impossible in Zhang Juzheng's era.
"I remember Mr. Yu's five-character sentence is well written."
"The Yellow River is about to break down, and the sunset crows."
"There is no way out in doubt, and there are no flowers in the depths of spring."
"Dust and sand fascinate Jia Dao, and the grass is deserted."
"Looking north at Chang'an, it's like old age."
"I know, it's called "Sending Friends on the Yellow River against the Wind""
"It's too much to say, it's not as good as Ji Liao Zhang Butang's song..."
……
Listening to these ministers in power talking about poems and words, Zhang Siwei looked even more lonely.
It seems that for him, the excitement belongs to others, and he only has a solitary moon on the corner of the eaves.
"Too deceiving!"
Zhang Siwei gritted his teeth and said something in a low voice, then went back to the room and asked:
"Did the second master write a letter from Yangzhou?"
