At the entrance of the alley where Zheng's business is located, Zuofu's servant bowed and bowed before driving away.
In the darkness, Lao Qin came up to him, called "Madam", then bowed to Lu Xiangsheng, and said carefully: "Shen Mo hasn't seen Madam back yet, and Daniel has gone to the imperial city to inquire..."
Zheng Haizhu said: "Has everything spread? In fact, it's just a few words with a few sesame officials, it's not a big deal. You go back to the house first, Mr. Lu and I still have to talk."
Lao Qin stepped back obediently.
"Xiang Sheng," Zheng Haizhu paused in the cold night air and asked softly, "If you have something in your heart, just say it and don't hide it. If you hide it for a long time, it will turn into a thorn."
Lu Xiangsheng, who had been bored all the way, still hesitated for a moment before he said: "Whether in front of the Liubu Yamen or in Zuogong's mansion, I should have said more."
Zheng Haizhu smiled and expressed a relieved tone: "One person can't quarrel, but multiple helpers can win the quarrel. It's just a superficial joy, not worth mentioning. Besides, you are also a disciple of Donglin, so it's inconvenient..."
Lu Xiangsheng interrupted Zheng Haizhu, and his tone became serious: "When I entered Donglin, they were not like this!"
On the contrary, Zheng Haizhu became calmer: "Xiang Sheng, giving lectures in the academy and becoming an official in the court are two different things. In the academy, the sounds that come to my ears are 'a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness'. But once the gentlemen put on official robes, everything they think about is
It's 'power cannot be given away'. If I were one of those high-ranking members of your Donglin sect, I would also be worried about other sects coming to get their hands on the power."
Lu Xiangsheng said sadly: "Even if you are wary of Husheng's thoughts, you can't ignore right and wrong, let alone like today, like this..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zheng Haizhu said calmly: "You have people like Fan Hong in Donglin and the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties. They are like pawns in a war or the opening gong in a opera. In fact, the pawns and the opening gong are not that terrible, because they are both
In the bright place, Yang Gong and Zuo Gong also opened the skylight and spoke openly today."
Lu Xiangsheng's eyebrows tightened: "Yang Gong and Zuo Gong are indeed not petty people, but they are officials of the country. Last year, Zuo Gong managed the water affairs in the capital and transplanted rice from the south, which was very effective."
Zheng Haizhu nodded: "Yes, so I don't think Yang Gong and Zuo Gong are in a bad relationship, let alone have any grudge against them."
But Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and continued to murmur: "Isn't it good to use the upright and upright energy when I was an official to the people and the country like this? If Mr. Heting becomes the leader, fighting this today and fighting that tomorrow, wouldn't it be better than Qi Chu and Zhejiang?"
It’s proclaimed, but more like the Party?”
Zheng Haizhu sensed Lu Xiangsheng's increasingly complex emotions.
She could understand that this emotion was actually more intense than when Ma Xianglin learned that he had been deceived by the descendants of Emperor Jianwen.
Because it was not the regret of falling into the conspiracy of outsiders, but the doubt of belief in the spiritual guide.
Zheng Haizhu looked at the upright young man in green clothes in front of him. This figure in the dark night seemed to have suddenly changed time and space, becoming the tragic general who died on the battlefield many years later wearing mourning clothes in his armor.
We cannot leave such good people to Zhao Nanxing and the others.
But at this moment, she doesn't have to say, "That's right, you Donglin have already become a party. If you don't like it, just quit the party."
Too charming.
Smart people and upright people don't need to add fuel to the fire with their words. They will see the truth from more and more facts and jump out of those who raise the banner of faith and ideals, but in fact they are made up of personality worship and
Eradicate the cage woven by dissent.
"Xiang Sheng, go back and rest. I have nothing to do. What's the point of arguing with the Tatars in court? If we can accompany the eldest son of the emperor to Mount Tai, you can have a look at the customs and customs of Shandong and read thousands of books.
It is better to travel thousands of miles."
…
Next, the second day, the third day... Zheng Haizhu didn't go anywhere. He sat in the trading shop and watched Lao Qin taking the guys to take inventory, or watching Shi Yuelan and listening to more and more saleswomen coming to report their accounts.
Deep in the backyard, Li Daniu, Hua Er and Chen Sanni quickly packed their bags after receiving the mission.
Following the lady's latest instructions, they boarded a passenger ship on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and headed for Shandong and South Zhili respectively.
On the fifth day, someone came to the palace.
Familiar face, Cao Huachun's godson, surnamed Ji, serves as Chief of Ceremonies.
Little Eunuch Ji was young, but his words were sophisticated, he was respectful and impeccable, and he made Zheng Haizhu understand that the day after the turmoil in the Liubu Yamen, Long live the Lord knew about it.
The middle-aged emperor was not stupid, so he immediately asked Wang An, if I owed Dong Lin his share of the role of Prime Minister, I would have to exile all the close people around me, old and new, to repay it? Including him, Wang An?
Wang An tried to persuade him harmoniously, and then said that he would mention the matter to his chief assistant, Ye Xianggao. After all, Mr. Ye Ge was not extreme in his dealings, which could somewhat dampen the spirit of the Lin Lins in the Middle East in Jingjing.
Zhu Changluo was more accommodating and asked his chamberlain to come and see Master Zheng in the name of Empress Dowager Dong Li's gift to the prince's daughter's master.
After Zheng Haizhu expressed her gratitude, she told Eunuch Ji that she would take a break from the spotlight and accompany the eldest son of the emperor to Mount Tai.
Eunuch Ji Xiao was here to ask Zheng Haizhu what he was thinking next on behalf of Wang An and Cao Huachun, so he suggested straightforwardly: "Madam, please write down the pen. Ji will take it back to the palace and present it to Eunuch Wang. This matter is not a national policy."
, the Ministry of Rites still needs to report the proposal to the Cabinet, and then the Rites Supervisor will approve it."
As soon as Little Eunuch Ji left, Huang Zongxi arrived with his hind legs.
The young man scolded Fan Hong several times angrily before getting down to business: "Aunt, my father has something to discuss, and I invite my aunt to have lunch tomorrow."
"Oh," Zheng Haizhu said teasingly, "You're not going to that Heting Tower again, are you?"
Huang Zongxi waved his hand and said seriously: "Aunt, my father said that he is ashamed of the presence of Fan Hong and his ilk in Donglin. Well, they will definitely not hold talks in Heting Tower. Instead, the place will be designated by the senior who hosted it.
The area near Chengen Temple is very clean."
Zheng Haizhu was curious: "Which senior?"
"Mr. He Shijin, Mr. He from the Ministry of Industry's Maintenance Department."
"Are you also from the Donglin Clan?"
"Yes, aunt, but Mr. He is by no means as docile and old-fashioned as Mr. Zhao. Father said, Mr. He wants to hear you talk about Haojing, Yuegang and Mongolia's trade."
The corners of Zheng Haizhu's mouth raised.
Even though she has experienced bad things, she has not changed her view: no matter which political party it is, it will not be monolithic.
Isn't this the famous man of action in Donglin who will appear on the scene?
The banquet location was chosen next to Chengen Temple...
It was near the old site of Wang Gong Factory, which had been relocated.
He Shijin, who is now a minister of the Ministry of Industry, is implicitly expressing his goodwill.
"Okay, I'm happy to go. By the way, can you bring one more person with you? Is it okay for Mr. Lu to go too?"
Huang Zongxi clasped his hands and smiled and said: "Auntie, I won't mention it, but Mr. He also wants to invite Mr. Lu. Mr. He and Mr. Lu are both from Yixing, Nanzhili."
