The so-called "Five Tigers" are Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, and Ni Wenhuan, the servants of Wei Zhongxian's sect; there are also Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan, who are also known as the "Five Tigers".
In addition to the Five Tigers and the Five Biaos, there are also the Five Dogs, the Ten Children, and the Forty Suns. These people were given names by Donglin, referring to the fact that they helped the tyrants to do evil under Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, did not do evil, and were despised by the gentlemen of the world. .
Everyone in Fushe calls themselves "Xiao Donglin", and everyone considers themselves a gentleman, but now someone suddenly compares them with the lackeys of the Eunuch Party. Suddenly the crowd became angry, there was a lot of curses, and everyone looked around for someone to speak. People, someone blushed and shouted: "Which thief is talking nonsense and actually associates us with that traitor Wei Zhongxian!"
"Who is this reckless thing? Have the guts to get out!"
"I'm not a ball or a glutinous rice dumpling. What can I say? Fushe is also a polite place in the world. How can you be so rude when you open your mouth and shut up!" [
While he was talking, a middle-aged scribe in a lotus-colored Confucian shirt walked past the crowd and shouted with a smile on his face: "Since you all have to show your face, you can't refuse. I'd like to borrow some light so that I can get to the stage." For everyone to look at."
When everyone heard his words, they were first humbled and then arrogant, somewhat contradictory. I don't know where the crazy person came from. He held a Suzhou-style folding fan and swayed forward. In front of a large audience, he really didn't know his own abilities.
Just when he was about to laugh, he saw that there were several men in green clothes in front of him to guide him. These men were more muscular than most of the people in the society. They yelled fiercely, but their hands were weak. How could they stop him? At first, there were a few people who tried to stop these people without their own strength, but they were easily thrown aside. As a result, the others were so frightened that they involuntarily took a few steps back and gave way to a four-way road. Five feet wide alley.
The middle-aged scribe moved forward with his hands behind his back and slowly climbed onto the high platform with a calm demeanor. He did not show any fear or guilt towards the Fushe people who were thrown aside by his men and fell down. Instead, he showed a hint of contempt.
Seeing this, Chen Zilong was furious and quietly said to Liu Rushi: "Just stay here and watch me humiliate the madman." After saying that, he ran up to the middle-aged scribe.
When the middle-aged scribe saw another person coming to block the way, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't Fushe only focus on reading the books of sages! How come there are people who look after the house and the courtyard? Get out of the way. We don't want to be violent. We just want to get out of the way." I want to talk to these four gentlemen." He shook open the folding fan gently, then closed it and pointed upwards. The tangled beryl fan pendant on the fan handle beat a few times, with a calm expression, as if he didn't care. Pay attention to both of them.
Seeing that he was arrogant, Chen Zilong shouted angrily: "Who are you? You will not be allowed to act wild at the Society Restoration Conference!" As he spoke, he was about to step forward to let him go, but Qian Qianyi stopped him in a hurry: "Don't be rash! Listen to him. What to say."
When Chen Zilong heard the sound, he quickly retracted his hand, nodded in agreement with Yu Lianhe, stepped aside, and glared angrily at the middle-aged scribe.
Yu Lianhe alluded to the middle-aged scribe's entourage and whispered to Chen Zilong: "Be careful of this person's entourage."
Chen Zilong immediately realized that, judging from the movements of the few followers who led the way, it was obvious that they were all hidden masters of the family, and must be members of the government.
Wen Yuren came here earlier. He was not a real official, but these people looked like real officials. But which yamen in Nanzhili raised such evildoers?
Jinyiwei? Someone who guards the Yamen? Someone who guards the eunuchs?
Even after thinking about several of them, they didn't seem to be the same. Chen Zilong was even more surprised and confused. While he was thinking wildly, he saw the middle-aged scribe rushing towards Zhang Pu on the stage with his hands in hand. Qian Qianyi and others said: "Greetings to the four gentlemen."
"Who are you……"
Qian Qianyi asked hesitantly, and his Beijing-white accent was so familiar that it was a bit harsh. When he took a closer look at the other person's appearance, he suddenly shuddered and said in silence: "I don't know who you are in Beijing, and you have come to resume society with us." What does the conference do?”
Cao Huachun laughed and said: "Mr. Mu, there is no need to bother asking. It seems that I, a little soldier, don't deserve to be named. I'm not a member of Fushe. I just passed by here by chance and came to cheer up and open my eyes. This is I wanted to see what kind of outstanding figures the world-famous Fushe celebrities are, but unexpectedly I learned a lot of self-proclaimed skills. It's just that Fushe's flattery skills are not refined enough, so why not bring out the gongs, drums, flutes and flutes? Knock or blow, and then let go of your throat and sing loudly: Two Masters, whose virtues are as great as those of heaven and earth, and who are powerful throughout the world, as compared to ancient and modern times! With such a grand scene, I feel that it is lively and fun, and I have not wasted the reputation of being a saint!"
"You..." Zhang Pu stood up in a hurry. Cao Huachun was so sarcastic. How could he stand it as the first advocate of restoring society? But he was very good at cultivating Qi and did not want to lose his dignity in front of so many disciples, so he forced himself to do so. He sat down patiently and said coldly: "It's better to tell this dear friend by his name!"
Fushe is at its peak, who can be disrespectful? Although everyone thinks that this middle-aged scribe must be a member of the government, this is the land of Jiangnan, the world of Donglin and Fushe, even the important officials in Nanjing City are also with Donglin Fushe Echoing the same situation, with such support, this middle-aged scribe has a great background, so why should he be afraid of him?
Cao Huachun said with a smile: "Then we will obey your orders. My surname is Cao, and my nickname is Zhixunzi. In the world, not many people know this nickname, and it is not as good as these two. Everyone admires them. Many people have set up a god in their home. Sooner or later Hold incense and bow before you."[
Qu Shichu had a strong temper. Hearing the sarcasm in his words, he asked sharply: "Huh! Zhixunzi? It must be a false name. Since you dare not show your real name to others, it shows that you have evil intentions and are here to cause trouble?"
"You are really flattering us. We haven't read a few books for a few days, and we don't know how to read a few baskets of words. How dare we come here to show off? Isn't it humiliating ourselves?"
"Then do you have any grudge or grudge against Fushe?"
"It's hard for people to get a job in society, so there won't be any hatred."
"Then why do you keep slandering Fushe?"
"It's to give you a heads up."
Qu Shishu sneered: "How dare we dare to work hard?"
"We do this voluntarily and ask for the boat fare from you."
"Then you want us to listen attentively?" Qu Shichun snorted bitterly.
"We have good intentions, it's up to you whether you listen or not." Cao Huachun glanced at Qian Qianyi and said, "Mr. Mu is the elder here, you don't think we are evil people!"
"Of course, of course. You are rushing so fast, which shows your enthusiasm. Please tell me, please tell me." Qian Qianyi had already guessed Cao Huachun's identity, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, nodded hurriedly, and was as graceful and elegant as when he first took the stage. of bearing.
Cao Huachun smiled indifferently and said: "We don't have much to say, only eight words: stop talking about state affairs and put an end to disputes."
Qu Shichun retorted: "I think I need to change my brother's name. How about changing him to a peacemaker?"
"How do we have that ability? However, if we can do this, there will be a lot less right and wrong in the world."
Qu Shichun sneered: "If a man has right and wrong, good and evil, how can he stand in the world? How is that different from pigs and dogs?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Cao Huachun's face, and he asked: "I would like to ask for advice. If you are obsessed with temporary rights and wrongs, are you a man?"
Qu Shichun was not wary of him asking such a question. He had never thought about these principles in his life. He was speechless for a moment and felt that he was embarrassed to argue. He didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Pu saw this man-machine manipulative, even though Qu Shichu was originally in the household department and was known for his sharp words and arguments, he was silenced by him. He was surprised and said coldly: "This brother
I must have seen the dirty deeds of Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs and traitors in the past, but you are here to use your words and compare Fushe with eunuchs. What is your intention? "
Cao Huachun rubbed the pendant of his fan and said with a smile: "We just looked at it interestingly. I think no matter what we do in the world, there must be someone carrying the sedan chair to support us. Otherwise, it would be too boring for one person to sing a one-man show!"
"Since ancient times, good and evil are like charcoal, and Fushe and the eunuchs are incompatible. Back then, senior Donglin fought to the death..." Qu Shichu was so angry that he wanted to tell Cao Huachun about Donglin's feats back then.
Cao Huachun didn't want to listen at all, so he waved his hand to interrupt Qu Shiqi, and said hehe: "Okay, okay! We all know these things, so you don't need to talk about it anymore. I just want to ask you a question. What is the reason for this fight between you and me?
What?"
"For the imperial court, for the emperor." Qu Shichu was upright and proud.[
Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "It's fake! It's really not worth arguing with. In fact, both the eunuchs and Donglin are all fighting for power. To put it bluntly, don't they all think that they have the final say?"
"A man cannot gain power for a day. If a gentleman gains power, those little men and mice will become more and more wanton."
"That's not necessarily the case. You called yourself Xiao Donglin when you resumed society, and you also held power. It can be seen that more than one Donglin Party member has been in power. What happened to them? Aren't they rejecting dissidents and attracting similar people? As a result, they are isolated in the world and tyrannical.
They were attacked. If they had joined forces with Wei Zhongxian back then, they might not have been wreaked havoc by the Eunuch Party, nor would there have been so many tragic deaths of Donglin Party members."
"Hmph! Weird talk! No distinction between right and wrong..."
Cao Huachun sighed softly and said: "You are too pedantic and stubborn. Being strict is the art of self-cultivation, but it is not a big mistake. The mistake is that being strict with others is blindly demanding. Donglin and Fushe all claim to be sages.
, but don’t forget that only the virtuous can offend the unworthy. It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. At that time, Wei Zhongxian and Wei Guangwei wanted to make friends and rely on them, but you closed the door and refused to accept people thousands of miles away. How could you not?
Provoking resentment?" After saying this, he paused and couldn't help but speak a little louder and asked: "As you just said, a man cannot take power for a day. If a gentleman takes power, the villain will do whatever he wants.
This sounds reasonable, but we do have a doubt, but I don’t know whether to ask it or not?”
Qu Shishu snorted: "You just ask."
"Nowadays, most of the officials in the DPRK are members of the Donglin Party. The power in their hands cannot be said to be small, but I wonder if they are men as you say?"
