Bright moon and breeze (215)

Zhang Pu looked at the bare forehead, and there was a piece of braid. He rubbed his arms and stood up, "You are from outside!"

Li Chenggeng smiled at him, “What? Is it an accident?”

Zhang Pu's face changed very ugly: "Go out! I won't leave two of you here."

Li Chenggeng didn't move, and chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhang, there are some things, you have to think about it carefully. Your reputation is ruined now, but it's almost the same. If you don't leave, then the Ming Dynasty will basically have no place to stand. Of course, if you don't leave, we can help you, and you can ask you to repay the money as soon as possible. You just misappropriated it! In this way, you will still be the respected Mr. Zhang Puzhang in the school. But you have to know,

Lies cannot stand the investigation! If you use this money in this place and people don’t leave, you have to explain to the court, explain to the people of the world, where did you come from with such a large amount of money? I believe that you have seen the account settlement ability of the queen of your Ming Dynasty, and you will no longer be lucky. When we find out that the money was taken by us, then you really can’t live! This is called collusion with enemies. If it is you, your family will probably not be able to survive.”

Zhang Pu snorted coldly, "I, Zhang Pu, are still a few proud guys! I would rather bear countless abuses in the world than call me treason."

Li Chenggeng sighed, "I admire Mr. Zhang's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but is the Ming Dynasty still the Ming Dynasty? Although I have only come to the Ming Dynasty recently, I have heard that the change of the country's number has been a lot of noise. The Lin family even made a memorial. So what do you think, with the Lin family's low-key attitude, this time suddenly jumped out? If it weren't for the queen and the emperor's attitude was firm, why should they make this point? If the Ming Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Zhang, you would be a person who lost the country. What kind of loyalty should you talk about if you lost the country? Who can ask you to restore the Ming Dynasty's territory, who is your friend."

As he said that, he pointed to Shi Yang, "Do you know who he is? He and Xu Jie's disciple are known as Mr. Qiushan. Since your emperor started to reform, he felt that the Ming Dynasty was not his Ming Dynasty. He had been in the Qing Dynasty for ten years. Don't think that he went to the Qing Dynasty because he had not had the chance to become an official in the Ming Dynasty. That would be wrong! He had a close relationship with Cheng'en Hou and was a very good friend. However, private relationships are private relationships, but Mr. Shi Yang understood the major matters very well. He looked exactly like me, and he had shaved his hair, but it was just this honor that he went to the Lin family. The Lin family did not take it too slowly. Why? Because he was a minister of the Qing Dynasty. As long as the two countries were still in good terms, he would be free to come back. Did the Lin family despise him? No! Because he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

Sometimes, this loyalty and treacherous thoughts. I don’t read many books, but I also know who is a famous minister in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, who is also a poor family? He went to Wagang in his early years and followed Li Mi. Later, he surrendered to Li Tang and followed Li Jiancheng. After the Xuanwu Gate Palace, he returned to the command of Emperor Taizong of Tang. I wonder, this person is considered loyal and righteous? He serves the three masters, and he is considered loyal and righteous. Don’t say what to choose a wise master, don’t say what Han or Man, why the Tang Dynasty flourished is tolerate? Isn’t this what your emperor said? Your emperor knows this truth, don’t our emperor know? We know! So, we

Never treat Mongolian brothers slowly. Similarly, how can we treat Han brothers slowly? When it comes to nations, should the Li Tang royal family or Xianbei bloodline? Mr. Shi Yang once told our emperor that bloodline and nation are the things that should not be hindered. How should people be divided? Mr. Shi Yang said that there is a thing called "cognition". As long as the cognition is the same, it is the same person. This cognition certainly includes reading the same books, learning the same words, eating the same meal, and the same living habits and habits. We can use the Mongolian language for ourselves after it is modified, and we also want to learn from the Chinese... So, Mr. Zhang, this time we are here to invite the teacher.

First, half of the people under our rule are Han people. Of course, we have to learn everything from the Han people to govern. Second, it is inevitable that the Manchus will be rude to govern the Han people. Our Majesty thinks that Manchus and Han people should be equally important, and several Han ministers have repeatedly mentioned that Han people should be used to govern the Han people. Your Majesty agrees! But there are too few Han ministers, and even fewer capable Han ministers.

What does this mean? It means telling Mr. Zhang, first of all, the so-called treason and loyalty are not obstacles. The country is not your country, so what does it matter if it is loyal to a king? Now no one says that Wei Zheng has served the three masters, and they all say that this person is a famous minister. Why? Because the king he chose created a prosperous era! I think he must have received a lot of criticism back then. But what happened after the passage of time? He gave him a fair evaluation.

Mr. Zhang, do you have the courage to make choices like Wei Zheng? Secondly, the Han people in Liaodong need officials like Mr.. The gentleman should be known to everyone in the world that the people abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, but the scholars who inspire to be officials have never abandoned them. You are going here like the Han officials going to govern Annan, and they are going to govern the people he abandoned for the Ming Dynasty. Under the pretext of being accused of doing things that the Ming Emperor cannot do. It is not that you are sorry to the king, but that the king is sorry to you."

After saying that, he got up, took out a small box from his arms and put it on the table, "Mr. Zhang, what should I do? Think about it again. I can't do anything that is difficult for others. I have to accept it. There is an address in the box, and I am waiting for the big driver. Should I accept it? The things inside are just treated as a gift brought by the door. I am very careful and not respectful." As he said that, he put his hat on his head, got up and went out directly.

Shi Yang stood up, said nothing, and followed Li Chenggeng silently.

When they left the door, they got into an inconspicuous carriage and sat opposite them.

Li Chenggeng asked Shi Yang, "What do you think? Will this person submit?"

Shi Yang snorted, "Just a hypocritical person! You handed the excuse to him and spread the steps under his feet. How could he not submit?"

Yes! Just a hypocritical person!

Li Chenggeng laughed, "To be honest, Mr. Qiushan, many ministers like you very much, why? Because you are honest. Whether you are good or bad, you can always point directly at the key points, which is very spicy. This is very different from that of the Han ministers." Shi Yang nodded, "It's just that there is no desire or no desire!"

Li Chenggeng smiled and said, "You are not without desires, your desires and your requests are different from most people."

Shi Yang hummed, but no desire to say anything else.

He closed his eyes throughout the whole process and thought about one thing after another. The emperor did not want these messy scholars. These people could get messy in the Ming Dynasty because the Ming Dynasty had such soil. The Qing Dynasty wanted these scholars not to be afraid of causing trouble, because there were few Manchus who could speak Chinese, let alone recognize Chinese characters! The Eight Banners of Manchus are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. They had a knife in their hands, so what were they afraid of?

Killing is not a good way, but it is not going well, killing is indeed a good way.

Some scholars who are indeed capable of governing can be appointed, and they really need such people to calm the hearts of the Han people. The Qing court was saying to the Han people outside the pass: Look! The scholars of the Ming Dynasty have all passed by, and the Ming Dynasty is not as good as you think, stay peacefully.

Here is the root!

As a scholar like Zhang Pu, he has only one use, that is, in the call within a short period of time. He can inspire more relatively simple scholars to go over, and this is his use.

As for the Qing Dynasty, if you don’t talk about others, Li Chenggeng had to change his face. In fact, no matter where he was, he valued the word loyalty. Just like himself, even though Huang Taiji never really trusted himself, he gave him the greatest respect. Where did this respect come from? It did not harm the slightest interests of the Ming Dynasty. He said that Huang Taiji never asked him to participate in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty because of his defense. But he might not be able to say what Huang Taiji said himself, which is a dilemma.

So, from this point of view, Zhang Pu actually doesn’t need to care about it.

What he is worried about now is that what if these scholars really slander the Ming Dynasty and corrupt the reputation of the Ming Dynasty when they arrived in the Qing Dynasty?

He didn't know if the emperor had a prediction about this and had any solutions to it. He felt that he should go to the Lin family another day, and he could convey this meaning in a vague way.

Qiu Liujing took his men to leave as the carriage, sent a boy to point at Zhang Pu's house and asked him to go and take a look.

The boy was watching the door open, so he walked inside, and was about to enter the room, and then shouted, "Sir... Are you at home?" Zhang Pu quickly put the silver notes in the box and asked, "Who?" The boy said, "I live next door, borrow a fire, the fire not found, the stove is gone, it's so cold! It's so strong that I knocked on several doors but didn't open..."

That's because someone took off his clothes and got into the bed and didn't want to get up and open the door.

"Your door is open, and you shouted a few times outside, but you didn't hear..." He went in and saw a corner of the silver bill, and he saw him retracting his gaze and saying to Zhang Pu, "Borrow a fire note for use..."

Zhang Pu just came and didn't know the people around him. He just borrowed a fire, just borrowed it directly.

The boy took the fire note and said goodbye. When he went back, he said to Qiu Liujing: "...I see, it's a silver note. It's a box. I think it's a large number..."

Silver bills!

The wealth was touching, and he gave news to the palace. According to his speculation, Zhang Pu could not pass the level of money.

Yes! Zhang Pu closed the door several floors, then went back to the house, opened the box again, and there were quite a huge amount of silver notes inside. In addition to blocking the hole in his account, he could also make a large amount of money.

Judging from my current self, this money is really a quantity that I can't even imagine.

He tossed and turned all night, and on the one hand, the Ming Dynasty court wanted to injure his reputation and made him have no place to stand. On the other hand, the Qing Dynasty court gave gold and silver, promising high officials and generous salaries. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty did not need himself, but on the other hand, the Han people of the Qing Dynasty... It really needed Han officials to protect their interests in the court.

So, I dare to ask, how to choose this?

My aunt is gone and my father is dead. As for those brothers, I don’t care whether they are alive or alive. As long as I take my wife and children away, there is actually nothing to be tied to.

The first half of the night was a tangle, and the second half of the night was a fantasy. He thought that he must really strive to make the Han people in the Qing Dynasty live well. Even if thousands of people criticize them when they are alive, even if they do a good thing, there will always be someone who remembers their own good.

That's what he thought.

As a result, I woke up in the morning and everything seemed to have gone far last night. If I really wanted to make such a decision, he was hesitant and timid again! This was actually contrary to the education he received! After suppressing the thought in his heart, he thought to fill the hole with this money first, and then find two people to support him in Jiangnan. Is this money a big deal for wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan?

After thinking about it this way, I felt that I didn’t have to be disturbed by the incident last night. So I hurried out and had a meal outside. When I arrived at the club, everyone was very enthusiastic, and some were a little ashamed. The shopkeeper smiled, "Look... I sent someone so much money early... The account has not been cleared yet, and you are too worried."

Yes! Yes! Too much care.

Zhang Pu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the two of them paid back the money for him last night? Is this the right to choose freely? No! They were pushing themselves into a corner while saying that they gave themselves the right to choose.

Just like what the man said last night, some things cannot stand the investigation. After searching, I found that the person who checked the bill for me was a spy from the Qing Dynasty, so I would not die without a place to die.

He smiled at the shopkeeper, "As long as I do return it, I will be relieved." After coming out, he headed straight to a negligent house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the door opened. He saw the two men last night in the main hall. Except for knowing that the older one was Shi Yang, he didn't know who this young man was.

Li Chenggeng had no smile on his face, and pointed to the stool and said, "Sit."

This posture seemed a little unruly than last night.

Zhang Pu sat over and asked, "What do you mean by sir?"

Li Chenggeng chuckled, "I know that Mr.'s ability is to be reversed by black and white, only in a single thought. Some things are not done in a solid way, and your 3-inch tongue may not be able to inspire some Jiangnan clans to recognize this money for you... Mr. Zhang, those people in Jiangnan secretly support you, this will be. However, if you know that you are targeted by the emperor and the queen, they will not continue to get involved with you. They cherish their feathers more than you. When it comes to being smart, they are more smarter than you. Therefore,

Mr. Zhang, give you a toast, and you will take it. Don’t think about getting along with others, you don’t have the ability to do that. Now that things have been done, you have to follow them, and if you don’t follow them, you have to follow them. Next, what should you do, you have to obey the orders! Our emperor is a benevolent monarch. But our emperor is different from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He really kills people. Your emperor has any concerns about killing people, what are you concerned about? The scholars who have too many concerns open their mouths... But our emperor doesn’t care too much!"

Zhang Pu knew that he was forced into a dead corner step by step, and he would never do it!

Li Chenggeng looked at him, "Doing things well and being obedient with one's heart will bring benefits. You can give you everything you want. Therefore, you have to put away your methods. In the Qing Dynasty, you can't play with your tricks."

Zhang Pu was drunk alone at night, crying, laughing, and howling. But when he turned around, he still had to do business. Someone had already picked up his family and would be sent to the Qing Dynasty smoothly. He had to inspire more scholars to go to the Qing Dynasty with him.

However, this is difficult to convince people. Most of these scholars are children from a family of officials. The family members are old and small, and some families have hundreds of people who live together to live together. Can they all move away?

He told people this, "If people leave first, they may not necessarily have to use their real name. It's just that something happened to the school society, you don't want to participate, and then go out for a study tour, that's all. When the time passes, it's the same for contacting your family."

Zhang Pu is very smart. He is targeted when choosing people. For example, Zhang Cai, can you tell him to go? No! This person is stubborn and speaks honestly. If he dares to say this, he will scold him in person and his voice is still small.

Like Fang Yizhi, can he find this person? He can't find him either. Because his family background is too prominent and there is really nothing in his family. He just came to the school because of his so-called ambitions and ideas. He dare not ask for someone who is too simple and simple.

At this time, the one who is looking for a depressed and unsuccessful officialdom is the kind of person who is not very good from a good family background and is good at exploring everywhere. Most of the reason they entered the school was to meet more people here. The young master of the official family met and made friends, relying on personal relationships, and they hoped that those officials in their families would be promoted one or two. They asked for this.

This is the person he is looking for.

Like his husband Zhou Yanru, even if he is still an official, so what if he has a better future, why not run?

Tongtong received news every day when she was in the palace. She knew clearly who Zhang Pu had visited in the palace.

Zhang Pu was doing this all winter. This man was smart and he didn't know how to answer the person he had looked for, but no one reported to the court that this man was moving around and persuaded people to send him to the Qing Dynasty.

No! No one to report it.

After the Chinese New Year, Shi Yang was about to leave. Tongtong also had a list of people who left the capital one after another. Both of them were not moved, just pretending not to know anything.

Shi Yang followed Li Chenggeng and watched the capital behind him go away little by little. What does the emperor mean when he never saw him again?

Do you feel uncomfortable? Feeling uncomfortable!

He was about to leave the customs, so he would have to leave the Ming Dynasty tonight. He was so sad that he couldn't rest. The waiter brought hot water. When the person left, a letter was left on the table.

What is this? Who wrote it?

He inserted the door from inside and spread the letter paper, and his expression became complicated.

This letter was written by the emperor. The emperor said that I can still remember the scene when my husband invited me to Liaodong. Who knew that so many years have passed and things have changed. However, I don’t blame you. I know your suffering and your difficulties. People are not plants and trees, so who can be ruthless? Stay with each other day, and Huang Taiji is not a fool. I know everything about your heart.

He also said that you have been in the capital for so long, and I and the queen never see you again. It’s not that I don’t want to see you, but that I really don’t want to make things difficult for Mr. Mr. I empathize with the entanglement of Mr. I am afraid that you will leave with guilt!

The emperor said in his letter: Mr. A man is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and does not prevent him from becoming an official in the Qing Dynasty. No matter where he is, as long as he does what he does, he will always be Mr. Akiyama of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Mr. Just be calm and honest.

The emperor also said, I have said that I treat the people of the world equally, regardless of Han, Mongolian and Manchu. And I am also telling you today that I must recover Liaodong and that the world will be unified. I will definitely be able to do this. The gentleman only does things with the heart of serving my pastoral patronage and guarding the people. If you do things, you will be completely up to the emperor.

At the end of the letter, the emperor said that the Shi family's ancestral tombs and ancestral homes were always managed by a dedicated person, and would not change anything due to the change of the teacher. Never think about this. When the world is unified in the future, I will hold a banquet in the palace and ask the queen to cook a few dishes. I still want to talk to the teacher about the world. From now on, you are in the northeast and I am in the capital. I will miss the teacher and tell the prince that there was once a sincere gentleman who left his hometown for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and stayed in the bitter and cold land of Liaodong for ten years and never betrayed. I have to let the prince know that the most touching thing about the person in his temperament is that he has feelings. People with feelings can entrust life and death!

As soon as the letter was read, his tears instantly came down. He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed towards the direction of the capital.

Every word in this letter is thrust straight into the chest, and a person with a temperament covers all his sins.

Those who are in love can entrust life and death!

If you have this sentence, how dare you not have the Ming Dynasty in your heart?

Your Majesty, I am so ashamed of you!

Shi Yang didn't know that a lot of news about him had arrived at the Qing Dynasty's palace one step earlier than him.
To be continued...
