Chapter 408: Burning the Governor's Yamen
Kuaiji Mountain.
The mountains and rivers are connected, the green wood is connected to the shade, the clear water and the blue waves are picturesque.
Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others, as well as famous prostitutes such as Wang Wei and Liu Mei, sat in the high pavilion, looking into the mountains and rivers in the distance, the breeze came and the piano was singing and dancing, and it was so uncomfortable.
Due to the news of the blockade in the capital, the news of the destruction of the Donglin Party has not yet reached Zhejiang/jiang. Recently, they have climbed mountains, drank in the afternoon, traveled to the river in the evening, and stayed in brothels at night. It was so refreshing and enjoyable.
Zhang Pu drank a little too much, his face turned red, his body was unrestrained, and he dragged his long sleeves and sang: "The Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, the Han Dynasty, the Yan Palace of Yaotai, the long sword leaned against the sky, the fog, the treasure light hung on the sun, the smoke and dust! He slapped the sleeves to the stars to complete the universe, the news stopped. The dragon and tiger roared, the phoenix clouds wept, the eternal regret, and the Huai Dynasty said. He was grudged against the mountains and rivers, and tears were stained with blood. The Bian River blew the Qiang pipe flute at night, and the phoenix steers on the old Liaoyang tent. He smashed the spittoo and asked the toad, what was the roundness missing?"
Wang Wei and other famous prostitutes were not offended at all. Gao He sat next to the piano, and the sound of a sonorous song sounded, and bursts of cheers filled the pavilion.
After a while, Zhang Pu stopped, sat on the stone bench, looked at Wang Wei, and smiled red-facedly, "It's a joke for Mr. Wang."
Wang Wei's men's clothing was also in shape like a man, and said, "Why should Brother Zhang be humble? This is true temperament. If the court officials have half of Brother Zhang, how can the world be like this!"
Liu Mei and Wang Wei also had the same outfit, white Confucian shirt and long scarf hanging in front of her, saying, "Today's situation is decay, all the dukes are stupid, Brother Zhang must not be discouraged, and you should strive to improve. In the future, you will reach the high position in high school, but you can wash away the decadent look and brighten the world!"
Zhang Pu was quite proud of his words when he heard the words of the two 'beauties' and sighed with shame on his face: "I made my brother laugh. I was a little talented and had failed to get the exam again and again. With today's court, it is difficult to win the title!"
Wang Wei looked at Zhang Pu’s face with a gray look, and his pretty face was upright, and said in a stern voice: “Brother Zhang must not be discouraged. The more you are like this, the more you should strive for it! My younger sister is not as knowledgeable as Brother Zhang, and she has no money, but she is a little bit of money. She is willing to take the exam for Brother Zhang!”
Wang Wei knew Zhang Pu’s family background, and he was the subject of his concubine and was extremely unattracted, so he was very short of money, so he was a tactful help.
Zhang Cai looked around, his eyes flashing with jealousy.
Wang Wei has not taken out the money now, which means he wants Zhang Pu to spend the night in her small building tonight!
Zhang Pu knew Wang Wei's personality well, so he deliberately said what he had just said. Seeing that Wang Wei was indeed trapped, he was happy in his heart, but waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu, but I don't lack these. What I lack is a bright world and a Qingming prosperous era!"
Wang Wei listened to his words and felt more admiration on his face, and said firmly: "My little sister is humble and cannot enter the Zhang family. If Brother Zhang doesn't take it, my little sister will wait outside the Zhang family every day!"
Zhang Pu smiled bitterly, drank a sip of wine, and a smile flashed from the corner of his mouth.
Liu Mei is different from Wang Wei. Wang Wei has real talent and knowledge, and has also been around West Lake and Qinhuai for a long time. He has a well-known reputation and is full of beauty.
She followed Wang Wei with shamelessness just to increase her value. Seeing Wang Wei put Zhang Pu under her skirt, she looked at Zhang Cai with a flash of eyebrows and said softly: "Brother, you must not give up. If you are not afraid of difficulties, you will be a true gentleman."
Zhang Cai really liked Wang Wei in his heart. When he looked at Liu Mei, he looked at him carefully and found that he was also a charming Feng/Liu character. His eyes shone with a bright smile and said, "What I said is that today I will only talk about Fengyue, not about anything else, drink!"
Several people also had this intention, singing indulging in love and talking about poetry and lyrics.
Such a scene can be seen everywhere in Jiangnan, and it is as fashionable as a painting.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a servant rushed up and pulled Zhang Pu, who had been drunk for halfway, and said anxiously: "Young Master, wake up, something big happened. The master asked me to take you back!"
Zhang Pu woke up most of the wine in an instant. He was very afraid of his uncle. The man who not only controlled his 'money', but also determined his future. He looked at the servant and said, "What happened? Did your uncle say anything?"
The servant looked at the others, and saw that they were all familiar with each other, and said impatiently: "Young master, say while walking, the other young masters should go back quickly, something big happens."
When Zhang Cai, Wang Wei and others heard this, they all surrounded him curiously and asked the servant to explain it clearly.
The servant knew the seriousness of the matter and pulled Zhang Pu away while saying, "You guys, hurry up and go back. The Governor's Office issued an announcement saying that the court would abolish the imperial examination and implement the Wenyuan system. Anyone who formed associations and cliques would never be included!"
When the few people heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they didn't bother to say anything to the servant and walked home quickly.
Wang Wei and Liu Mei were also anxious, but it was useless to go back. After standing for a while, they also asked their familiar "husbands" for advice.
Zhang Pu hurried back to the mansion, an old man with white hair was sitting on the lobby, with a rattan bar beside him, and there were more than 20 people in both sides of the lobby.
The Zhang family has been officials for generations. The old man sitting in the main hall was named Zhang Fuzhi. He was 81st this year and became the Minister of Works. He retired in the fifth year of Tianqi.
He watched Zhang Pu walk in coldly, and a stern look appeared on his old face. Zhang Pu is not his parent-child, but his nephew. Because he is a concubine, he is extremely unattracted, and the people of the Zhang family have been bullied repeatedly.
Zhang Pu walked in, his eyelids twitched, suppressing his fear, walked in, raised his hand and said, "Uncle."
Zhang Fuzhi took the rattan and pounded hard on the ground, and said coldly, "Kneel down!"
Zhang Pu knelt down in response, with a thought in his heart, and said with a thorn in his heart: "Uncle, the court is stupid, and my nephew is just..."
Bang!
One of Zhang Fuzhizi pulled over directly and said coldly: "Rareless! My Zhang family has been loyal for generations, and is virtuous and virtuous! You are so good. If you gather people to make trouble, you will form a resumption society, discuss the government affairs, slander the officials of the court, and even lead the mob to forcibly break into the Soviet/zhou government office and drive away the prefect. Who taught you this and who gave you the courage!"
After all, Zhang Pu is a scholar. A rattan twitches on his body, and it hurts so much. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, in the face of the national crisis, every man is behind us. How can we watch! My nephew has contacted the government and the government is good at studying and promoting officials in the Suzhou Province. He will win the next year..."
Zhang Pu's reunion was not a simple private student organization, but was extended to the officialdom through collusion between the parties. The imperial examinations in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were almost infiltrated. Although it was far inferior to the historical reunion, the left and right court bureaus, and even the replacement of cabinet auxiliary ministers, it has begun to take shape.
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Fuzhi thrust hard again, and he didn't stop once he thrust, and his tone appeared murderous intent, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard! Those 'nine 's are everywhere in the world. Do you think I can't see it? Which one is harmful to the country and the people? Which one is suppressing the scholars of the world? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You want to reach the sky and become the chief minister of the cabinet in one step!"
Zhang Pu hurried there, feeling unwilling. In his opinion, Zhang Fuzhi was just a corrupt bureaucrat. If the Ming Dynasty needed innovation, it needed to eliminate these old officials who "would the country"!
He knew that it was useless to say more, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Zhang Fuzhi took a while and was also mourning Zhang Pu's misfortune and angry that he would not fight. But if the Zhang family wanted to continue, Zhang Pu would not have any trouble. He threw away the rattan, looked at Zhang Pu coldly and said in a cold voice: "Catch him up, and you will not leave the house without my permission!"
"Yes!" The servant walked in and dragged Zhang Pu out.
Zhang Fuzhi took a breath, glanced at the people in the lobby, and scolded: "You will study in the mansion honestly in the future. If anyone goes out to cause trouble again, I will break your legs!"
Zhang Fuzhi was in the Zhang family and all the younger generations listened honestly.
Zhang Fuzhi sat there and took a breath, then stared at him and said, "Prepare gifts, prepare cars, and go to the governor's office."
"Yes." I have my own servant arrangements.
At the same time, such scenes are happening in many mansions, but they have changed people and lines.
Some people are hard-pressed, some are bowing their heads, and some are like Zhang Pu, neither are hard-pressed nor bowing their heads.
For example, Gu Yanwu, and Chen Zilong.
The atmosphere in Jiangnan is different from that in the north, and the situation that appears is also strange. A group of young scholars are the main force against political reform, while those old bureaucrats have become supporters of political reform.
With their support, perhaps the general trend was that Zhejiang and Jiangxi's political reform went surprisingly smoothly. The Censorship and the General Administration were merged, and all counties and governments were also undergoing major rectifications.
But in just half a month, a fire broke out at night at the Governor's Office, and it was ignited from all directions. It took more than an hour to burn more than 20 people, including two fifth-rank and one fourth-rank. They were all officials in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and some rioters took the opportunity to attack. Governor Zhou Weijing was protected by the guards and rushed out of the sea of fire and fled to Hangzhou/zhou Prefecture for temporary residence.
Zhejiang/Jiang was shocked, and the world was shocked.
