Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh falling into the water
Zhang Yuan walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Academy accompanied by Guo Hui, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. There were also several ministers, editors and doctors of the Five Classics beside him. Since Liu Chuxian, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and in charge of the Hanlin Academy, died unexpectedly, the Hanlin Academy
With Guo Wei in charge of the affairs of the academy, Zhang Yuan proposed to Guo Xueshi that officials from the six departments and governors of various provinces should be invited to teach the common people about practical government affairs and people's livelihood -
Guo Hui said: "Nowadays, there are many vacancies for officials in the capital. Tang officials often have to wear multiple hats. They are busy with official duties and have no time to give lectures."
Zhang Yuandao: "There are only two classes per month, and each class is only half an hour. How can I find this little time?"
Guo Hui is a loyal elder, but he is also a person who does nothing. When thinking about problems, he only thinks about the difficult aspects and said: "How can the Hanlin Academy invite the officials of the Six Departments and the governor to teach."
After Wenyuan Pavilion moved out, it was separated from the cabinet, and its status was greatly reduced. It could only be regarded as a place for further training, and it had lost its power to serve as an adviser to the emperor.
Zhang Yuandao: "Of course, this matter must be reported to the cabinet first, and then issued by the Sixth Department of Science and Technology. Shujishi are the pillars of the country, and I believe there are still many people who are willing to give lectures."
Guo Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Then Zhang Xiu will draft a memorial. I will sign and seal it and submit it to the cabinet to see how the Holy Emperor will approve it."
Zhang Yuandao: "Okay, the student will hand over the memorial to Academician Guo tomorrow."
In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty submitted its opinions on the handling of memorials and votes to the officials of each yamen and submitted them to the ceremonial supervisor for approval. The six-submission rotating committee received the memorials of each yamen approved by the emperor at Huangji Gate every day. After the review was correct, it was
It will be sent to each responsible yamen for execution within five days. This is the general procedure for political decision-making in the Ming Dynasty——
The power of the cabinet is to formulate opinions on the handling of Chinese and foreign memorials before the emperor approves them, and has the right to refute the emperor's approval. The cabinet drafts the memorials that are approved by the emperor and handed over to the Sixth Section for issuance.
The final review is carried out, major matters are reviewed, and minor matters are issued by the department. If the minister thinks that there is an error in the handling of the cabinet vote and the emperor's approval, he can return it to the executive. The emperor is asked to re-approval, which makes the minister
It has almost the same power as the cabinet, with the veto being the most important power——
Of course, you cannot use this veto power arbitrarily in the matter. You must put forward specific and fair opinions. Wandering around will not work. You will be despised, but everything has two sides, and many decisions have pros and cons.
If Shi Zhong seizes that shortcoming and takes advantage of it, it will be difficult to implement the cabinet orders. This is why the cabinet ministers still want to make friends with Qipin Shi Zhong——
A group of people from the Hanlin Academy walked onto the Yuhe Bridge. Zhou Yanru, the lecturer, suddenly raised his hands and said, "Master Yao, are you here to enjoy the sunset on the Yuhe River?"
Zhang Yuan had been talking to Academician Guo and had not paid attention to the bridge. When he looked up, he saw Yao Zongwen standing by the bridge railing. He had met Yao Zongwen several times before, but he had never spoken to him. He was a fellow countryman and his enemy.
Ah, this Yao Zongwen is in his fifties, and he is also a Shujishi. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of his cousin Yao Fu. His cheekbones are raised, his cheeks are thin, his neck is long and thin, and his eyes are sharp. At first glance, he is not an easy person to get along with.
——
Yao Zongwen bowed his hands to Zhou Yanru, nodded and smiled, and said to Guo Hui: "Bachelor Guo, I want to file a complaint." When he said this, he glanced at Zhang Yuan quickly and thought: "Zhang Yuan, boy, all the poems from the Hanlin Academy
Officer Lin is here. I want to refute your face severely on the spot. You acted like a slave and acted arrogantly. You surprised me and drove my car, hit someone and injured someone, but you ran away. You are not strict with your subordinates. Although this matter can't do anything to you, it can.
It can also make you lose face in front of these Cilin officials, I wonder how you can maintain your reputation."
Guo Xiqi said: "What kind of complaint does Master Yao want to file? Master Yao is just joking."
When Zhang Yuan saw Mu Zhenzhen and Wu Ling standing nearby, he expected that Yao Zongwen was going to take advantage of the fact that Mu Jingyan shocked his driver that day. He sneered in his heart and laughed on his face, saying: "Of course Master Yao is joking.
"Yes, come on, Master Yao, you are my senior from this hometown, I have something to ask you." He enthusiastically stepped forward and took Yao Zongwen's arm, and without any explanation, pulled him aside, away from Guo Hui and others.
Yao Zongwen was about to struggle, but Zhang Yuan was young and strong, so he couldn't get away. He said angrily: "Who is kidding you? Let me go!"
Zhang Yuan smiled at Guo Hui, Zhou Yanru and others at the end of the bridge, and whispered to Yao Zongwen: "Master Yao, let's have a good talk. We are both members of the Zhejiang Party, so it's better to stay in harmony and don't let outsiders see the joke."
Listening to Zhang Yuan's tone, Yao Zongwen seemed to be submissive and sneered: "Who told you about the Zhejiang Party? Where is the Zhejiang Party? There is no other party in the DPRK except the Donglin Party." He lowered his voice when he said this.
Yes, it is taboo for courtiers to form cliques. Although everyone knows it, they are unwilling to say it clearly on the surface. Anyone who says that someone is clique is definitely a slander and must be denied.
Zhang Yuan let go of Yao Zongwen's arm, cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Master Yao taught me a lesson. I am young and ignorant, and I made a mistake. Please teach me more, Master Yao."
Yao Zongwen rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at Zhang Yuan, thinking: "This boy is very arrogant. Now he is showing weakness and talking sweet words. There must be a conspiracy. How can I be afraid of your conspiracy?" He said loudly: "Your slave is injured in the busy city.
Did you let someone escape and let him go?"
Zhang Yuan's smile did not diminish and he said: "Although I have some disagreements with Mr. Yao's cousin Yao Fu, I still respect Mr. Yao very much. Mr. Yao is a leader of officials who serves the country and his family. He is forthright in admonishing and speaking out.
My brother Yao Fu caused great harm to the village, but it is wrong for Lord Yao to falsely accuse me of being a slave and committing murder——"
Yao Zongwen's cousin Yao Fu was sentenced to exile from the Xuanfu the year before last for hiring a murderer to injure someone in Yurou Township. At that time, the censor used this incident to impeach Yao Zongwen. Yao Zongwen defended himself by saying that he had been away from home for many years and had no contact with his brothers of the same race.
, there is no reason why he was implicated in the crimes committed by his tribe. At that time, Fang Congzhe had already served as the second assistant and protected Yao Zongwen. Yao Zongwen was not punished in any way. However, the impact of Yao Fu's incident on Yao Zongwen was still very bad, so that he did not dare to act wantonly for a long time.
He was now relieved from impeaching others. Hearing Zhang Yuan mention Yao Fu, he became furious: "Don't use sweet words. Our people have done illegal things and have been severely punished, but what about you allowing slaves to commit crimes?
"
Zhang Yuan bowed to Guo Hui and others and said: "Scholar Guo, you guys go first. The students also want to talk about their hometown with Senior Yao."
Of course Guo Hui and the others knew about the feud between Yao Zongwen and Zhang Yuan. Not wanting to cause trouble, they bowed their hands and got into the car one after another, got on the sedan and left. There were only a group of domestic servants and servants left at the bridge, Mu Zhenzhen, Wang Dachui and the others, and Yao Zongwen's two
The healthy servant was watching his master talking from a few feet away. This was the rule, the gentlemen were talking. How could the servant get too close——
Yao Zongwen sneered and said: "Do you think that after taking them away, I can't deal with you? It should be noted that the boy and the woman who were injured by your slave are both witnesses. You are guilty of indulging slaves and committing crimes.
There is no escape.”
With a smile on his lips, Zhang Yuan walked slowly to the river bank and said without looking back: "It was your carriage that hit the person."
Yao Zongwen said angrily: "It was your evil slave who deliberately injured my horse. It frightened the horse and hurt the person."
Zhang Yuan looked at the setting sun from the Chengtian Gate, and the golden light flickering in the Jade River disappeared in an instant, and said: "After all, it was your horse that injured someone. I can't figure out this matter, Lao Yao, don't waste your time, think of something else."
Use your evil plan to frame me."
Yao Zongwen was so angry that Zhang Yuan called him Lao Yao. He was treating him as a servant. He said angrily: "How dare you insult the imperial official!"
Zhang Yuan turned around, looked at Yao Zongwen sarcastically, then looked at the Jade River water at his feet, and said: "Is this considered an insult? Even if I insult you, what do you want to do? Impeach me?"
Yao Zongwen stared at Zhang Yuan and said with a cold tone: "I will, unless you are like a saint and make no mistakes, but you are obviously not a saint. You are lustful and greedy for money, otherwise you would not take a famous Qinhuai prostitute as your concubine. No.
You bought shares in Bookstore, Mirror Square and Buzhuang, formed associations to discuss politics, gathered people to make troubles, there are countless things you can do for others to criticize——"
Zhang Yuan is very angry. The road to saving the country is already very difficult, but there are such vicious dogs barking at the road. Tomorrow he will submit a memorial to invite the officials of the Six Departments, and the governors of various provinces will give lectures to the common people.
Yao Zongwen can always find righteous reasons to refute his memorials. How can it be that he can't even implement such a thing? It's really sad and infuriating!
Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "You know my affairs very clearly, but I want to tell you that what I do is not something that an ant like you can understand -"
Yao Zongwen was not as angry as before, and sneered: "I am a sparrow, and you are a swan. Does the sparrow know the ambition of the swan?"
"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan" is what Chen Sheng said in the late Qin Dynasty. Yao Zongwen's intentions were extremely vicious.
The Bodhisattva was compassionate and the Vajra was glaring with anger. Zhang Yuan's anger arose in his heart, and his evil thoughts grew in his courage. He suddenly turned his head and looked eastward, showing a surprised expression——
Yao Zongwen was not affected at all. He just stared at Zhang Yuan coldly, thinking about how to write a harsh memorial to impeach Zhang Yuan. However, the servants at the bridge who were paying attention to the dispute between Zhang Yuan and Yao Zongwen couldn't help but turn their heads to look at East Chang'an Street.
Go, thinking that something happened over there, Zhang Yuan seized this brief moment, rushed to Yao Zongwen, grabbed Yao Zongwen's arm, and at the same time rushed back, shouting: "Master Yao, what are you doing?
, why are you pushing me so hard!"
Yao Zongwen was shocked. He was old and frail, and could not compare with Zhang Yuan's strength. He was dragged and staggered. Without Zhang Yuan to support him, he would have fallen. At this time, he still didn't understand what Zhang Yuan wanted to do, and shouted angrily: "
You—you—let me go!”
Zhang Yuan shouted: "Let go first."
In the eyes of others, because Zhang Yuan's words were preconceived and impatient, they really thought that Yao Zongwen pushed Zhang Yuan, and Mu Zhenzhen showed off her long skirt and rushed towards him, shouting: "Stop!"
With a "plop", Yao Zongwen fell into the river, and Zhang Principle fell to the ground. Mu Zhenzhen rushed forward to help Zhang Yuan, and asked repeatedly: "Master, how are you?" She looked anxious, and she did not expect Yao Zongwen to do so.
Come on, this official is so rude.
Yao Zongwen's two healthy servants were shocked and ran over shouting: "Master, Master."
There was a rumble of cars, and a carriage was coming from the West Chang'an Street. They must be officials who had retired and returned home. Zhang Yuan shook Mu Zhenzhen's hand, winked at her, and shouted: "It's important to save people.
"He turned around and jumped into the Yuhe River to bravely save others——
This Jade River is a man-made river channel, about five feet deep. Although Yao Zongwen grew up in Shaoxing Water Town, he does not know the nature of water. He suddenly fell into the water and was confused. He flopped around randomly. He drank a few sips of water while shouting for help. Zhang Yuan got out
The queen of the river grabbed him and drank a few more mouthfuls, then grabbed Yao Zongwen by the waist and swam to the shore. The two Yao family servants on the shore quickly dragged their Master Yao up. Zhang Yuan also grabbed Mu Zhenzhen.
When I reached the shore, I heard someone say in surprise: "Meson, why did you fall into the water!"
When Zhang Yuan turned around to look, it was his brother-in-law Shang Zhouzuo and Zhang Wenda, the official of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Imperial Censor of Youdu. They hurried to greet him and said, "I left the Hanlin Academy and was about to go back, but this Master Yao...
He stopped me and said that I had a servant who surprised him while driving a few days ago. I was confused. The more Master Yao talked, the angrier he became. He said that it was me who framed his cousin Yao Fu for being exiled to the Xuanfu. He pushed me aggressively and accidentally fell into the water.
, I was the one who rescued him, as many people in Qiaotou can testify, these two are also Lord Yao’s servants, they all saw it with their own eyes."
Zhang Wenda shook his head repeatedly: "What kind of decency is this? What decency is this!"
Zhou Zuo of Shang Dynasty said: "As long as the person is rescued, please quickly ask people from Tai Hospital to diagnose and treat Yao Guishi - Jiezi, are you okay?"
Zhang Yuan said: "I'm fine."
Yao Zongwen was supported by two healthy servants. His feet were trembling and he could not stand. He spat out water "Uh-huh". He could hear Zhang Yuan and Zhang Wenda talking, but he was unable to argue. He rolled his eyes in anger and panted.
At this time, there was Taichang Temple again. Officials from the General Affairs Department gathered around and asked questions. They heard that there was a conflict between Yao Zongwen and Zhang Yuan, the new champion. These officials in the capital knew about the old grudge between Yao Zongwen and Zhang Yuan, and now they were causing such trouble.
Zhang Yuan was very well-mannered at a young age, and bravely rescued Yao Zongwen who fell into the water. It can be said that repaying evil with kindness is commendable!
Yao Zongwen regained his breath and hissed to Zhang Wenda: "Zhang Butang, it's Zhang Yuan, the boy who pushed me into the water. My lords, please don't listen to his bloody spews."
Zhang Yuan, who was dressed in the casual clothes of a sixth-grade civil servant, stood aside with a calm expression and did not argue with Yao Zongwen. When Yao Zongwen said, he just shook his head slightly.
Yao Zongwen said out of breath: "Zhang Butang, gentlemen, Zhang Yuan insulted and slandered me, and even pushed me into the river to kill me. He committed a heinous crime. Ahem, cough, cough—" and spit out another mouthful of water.
Zhang Wenda frowned and said, "Yao is going to do something, but you should take good care of your health first. Don't talk about this."
Yao Zongwen said anxiously: "It was indeed Zhang Yuan who pushed me into the river. There were many witnesses on the bridge."
Wu Ling said angrily: "Obviously you wanted to push my young master into the river and harm yourself instead of harming others. My young master saved you, but you repaid your favor and even beat him up——"
Zhang Yuan stopped Wu Ling from talking and said to Zhang Wenda: "Master Bu Tang, you can ask Master Yao's two servants and see what they say."
The two servants holding Yao Zongwen on the left and right looked at each other, and then said: "Little man, I didn't see clearly."
Yao Zongwen was so angry that he shook the two servants' necks desperately and shouted: "You idiot, how could you not see clearly that it was Zhang Yuan who pushed me into the river!"
Zhang Wenda looked at Yao Zongwen's furious look and snorted, then said to Zhang Yuan with a pleasant look: "Zhang Xiuzhuan, please go back and change clothes quickly. Even though the weather is hot now, you must prevent yourself from getting cold."
Zhang Yuan bowed to Zhang Wenda and the officials present, and then said to Yao Zongwen: "Master Yao, your younger brother Yao Fu has brought it upon himself to be exiled to the Xuanfu. How can you blame me? Master Yao is about to die, and don't dwell on old grudges anymore."
You have lost your heart and lungs and committed such a rude act." After that, he and his brother-in-law Shang Zhouzuo took a carriage back to the Dongsi Archway.
