Chapter 296
Sun Chuanting sighed: "Maybe everyone is fighting for power and profit? But just like us, even if we are talented, if we can't fight others, it will be useless."
"Bai Gu is right. The Chinese people are not united and like to flirt with internal friction. In history, many loyal ministers and generals were killed by their own people, which is why the Tartars are cheap!" Zhang Yongdao.
"I don't know why Eunuch Zhang wanted to harm Mr. Yang, Mr. Zuo and others? They are honest and loyal ministers and have done a lot of practical things for the people, but you have harmed him." Sun Chuanting mustered up the courage to ask.
"Our family doesn't want to harm them, but what they did is not tolerated by the emperor. Baigu, think about it yourself. The late emperor trusts them so much, but before the bones of the late emperor are cold, they beat the late emperor's favorite woman. How can the emperor not be jealous of such actions? Although the emperor is not the emperor's biological mother, the emperor and the emperor and the mother and son of the emperor. However, they slapped the Empress Li a few big ears in front of the emperor. This is why our Ming Dynasty treats scholars well. If it were other dynasties, they might have been executed at that time. Our family also knows that Mr. Yang, Mr. Zuo has a very good reputation and is deeply loved by the people. He wants to save them, but he is powerless." Zhang Yong sighed, and while saying, he wiped his tears, looking heartbroken.
Although Sun Chuanting is a smart person, he has no official experience after all, and it is even more impossible for him to think that the Eunuch Zhang in front of him is so young, he is already a movie emperor-level figure, but he was deceived by Zhang Yong's performance.
"Eunuch Zhang is kind and has a strong heart, but you can't help yourself, so you don't have to be sad. The new policy proposed by Mr. Yang and Mr. Zuo also offended many scholars. Students think that this is the real reason for their murder. But to be honest, students support their new policy! Why do rich people do not pay taxes, but the court puts taxes on the poor people? In the long run, if one day, the poor people say "The Princes, Princes, Generals and Ministers" will be better than those rich people, then?" Sun Chuanting said.
Zhang Yong nodded: "Baigu, so now scholars can use pens to make Yang Gong and Zuo Gong have been infamous for thousands of years! But our family believes that in a few hundred years, they will be famous in history!"
Sun Chuanting said: "Students understand, please don't worry, Eunuch Zhang. Since Your Majesty and Eunuch Zhang love students so much, students will definitely make some achievements in Shanxi to serve the court!"
He had just sent Sun Chuanting away, and someone came to report that Hong Chengchou was here.
Hong Chengchou is completely different from the newcomers Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting before. Hong Chengchou is not a member of the Donglin Party, and this person has his own talent and is valued by the court. When he finds out, it is Eunuch Zhang who has a keen eye for him. He immediately rushed to the Silijian to thank him. After all, Hong Chengchou is an ambitious person and an official fan. He doesn't care about the eunuch party or the Donglin Party. As long as he can get promoted and have a place to use his skills, he will surrender to anyone.
"Student, thank you for your kindness in the support of Eunuch Zhang!" Hong Chengchou saw Zhang Yong, bowed deeply, bowed to the ground, and gave a big gift. It was already a great gift for a civil servant to perform such a gift to a father-in-law. If it were not for the criminal minister, it would be impossible for the civil servant to kneel down to a governor of the East Factory.
"Heng Jiu, sit down!" Zhang Yong greeted Hong Chengchou enthusiastically.
Hong Chengchou only dared to sit half his butt on the stool, and he didn't dare to sit firmly. After sitting down, he looked around, just worried that he would be rude and be seen by others.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yong laughed, "Heng Jiu doesn't have to be restrained. You will be a governor of a province in the future. We have heard that Heng Jiu is a talented person. When you were a senior student in Zhejiang, you were a talented man and had a good talent. All the talents you selected were very good. With this, we will like you! I believe that if you go to Shanxi, you can let go of your hands and do a big fight!"
Hong Chengchou thanked him very much: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang for your kindness!"
"This is what our family should do. Our family looks at the scientific examination papers in recent years and the official assessment records in recent years, just to select outstanding talents for the court! Hengjiu, you don't have to thank our family anymore. If you want to thank you, you should also thank you for your own talents. It is precisely because of your talent that we are attracted by our family!" Zhang Yong said with a smile.
Hong Chengchou shouted: "Students, thank you Eunuch Zhang for your kindness! Eunuch Zhang asked the students to go to Shanxi not just to implement the new policy of digging into the acres, right?"
"Of course it's more than this," Zhang Yong said seriously. "If we only implement the new policy, our family has already ordered Qian Muzhai, Sun Gelao, Sun Baigu, Lu Jiutai and others to go to the northwest. With them here, this matter is almost certain. Our family let Hengjiu go to Shanxi, mainly to clean up the fine works of Jiannu and eradicate the unscrupulous merchants who secretly communicated with Jiannu!"
"Please rest assured that as long as the students arrive in Shanxi, they will catch all the profiteers and meticulous workers in one go! No matter who is standing behind those profiteers, students are not afraid!" Hong Chengchou promised with confidence.
If it weren't for knowing that Hong Chengchou was actually a greedy guy who was afraid of death, Zhang Yong might have been deceived by Hong Chengchou's performance of looking at death. He knew that although the person in front of him was afraid of death, he was indeed a rare talent! Moreover, Hong Chengchou would not be so stupid to force those profiteers and their backstage behind him. He would definitely find evidence carefully and give those profiteers and backstage bosses a fatal blow!
Zhang Yong bet such a strong group of people to the northwest. He believed that in this time and space, it would be impossible for the northwest farmers to rebel. If the people were not unable to survive, why should they rebel?
After seeing Hong Chengchou off, Zhang Yong looked through the memorials piled up on the table.
"Yududu?" Zhang Yong suddenly saw this name.
It was a memorial submitted by Hou Xun. In the memorial, he strongly recommended a man named Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan was just a county magistrate in Shaowu, Fujian. Hou Xun said in the memorial that this man has been familiar with military books since he was a child and has a talented person to guard the border.
"Hmph! It's just a joke!" Zhang Yong sneered and handed Hou Xun's memorials together with a bunch of memorials that were left unpublished to a young eunuch. "These memorials will not be left unpublished!"
In this way, the future national hero Yuandudu was suppressed by Zhang Yong, the treacherous slander.
But a few days later, Hou Xun, who had not been waiting for it, took Yuandududu and went up to Wei Zhongxian's mansion.
The developed nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei did not live in the Sili Supervisory like Zhang Yong. Instead, he bought real estate outside the imperial city. He bought a mansion in Jinyu Hutong.
Since Hou Xun had already received a bribe of 3,000 taels of silver from Yuandudu, the memorial he sent was like a mud bull that had entered the sea and had no response at all. He was anxious, so he brought a gift worth about 1,500 taels of silver to Wei Zhongxian's mansion.
Seeing the gift list handed over by Hou Xun, Wei Zhongxian did not turn him out, but instead asked someone to invite Hou Xun into the mansion.
"Memorial to recommend talents? We haven't seen it at home." Wei Zhongxian was stunned.
Hou Xun now understood that someone must have left his memorial to stay at the Central Government and stopped issuing it, so he begged: "Jiu Qiansui, can you help me? Not to help the lower officials, but to the court. I heard that Eunuch Zhang did not recruit talents and hired many small officials in an extraordinary way? Now there is such a talent who knows astronomy and geography, has been familiar with military books since childhood, and has a great talent guarding the border. I hope that Jiu Qiansui can go back to Silijian to find a memorial to stay at the Central Government and not post it. I am afraid that a young master accidentally made a mistake and kept the lower officials' memorial to stay at the Central Government and stopped posting it. If so, wouldn't the court missed a rare talent?"
For the sake of 1,500 taels of silver, Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Our family will return to Silijian tomorrow and ask someone to look for it. If you find it, our family will naturally give you an explanation."
