Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh sudden insight
What is arrogance?
The definitions vary, but "Donglin Party", which was recently released in Beijing, tells all fans and readers how crazy the real rampage is!
Insulting princes, being arrogant to ministers, treating the emperor as nothing...
Damn, this is really awesome. I don’t know where the confidence and arrogance of such a group of people from the ‘Donglin Party’ without the support of a cabinet boss come from?
What follows is even more chilling to the hearts of readers and book lovers.
The Ming Dynasty in the book has reached a precarious situation, but the "Donglin Party" relied on the powerful financial support from the south to become the strongest faction in the court.
When they were not in power, they criticized the imperial government's policies. But when they took control of the imperial court, they immediately changed their attitude. They excluded dissidents in various ways to consolidate their power, and even created things like "The Record of Evil" to attack political opponents.
Although there is no detailed description of these situations, just mentioning them briefly makes people feel frightened. Especially the civil servants in the court are particularly sensitive to this: can they still play like this?
The plot mainly describes how the Donglin Party gradually occupied the mainstream of the court, and by what means it became the dominant force in the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention the early academies and subsequent imperial examinations, the most important thing later was to control the Hanlin Academy and completely turn this prime ministerial institution into its own territory.
As a result, no matter how the cabinet ministers change, they will never fall outside the scope of the "Donglin Party".
During this period, various insidious methods were used to suppress officials from different factions, and even the emperor was easily fooled.
In short, the book "Donglin Party" completely exposed the face of a certain political force in the late Ming Dynasty that did not exist. It was simply a slap in the face of the civil servant group.
Especially the Hanlin Academy, which was under special care, was even more unscrupulous and shocking.
The current bachelor of the Hanlin Academy was so shocked that he often cursed 'San Shao Cong' in private for being such a bastard for throwing such a big shit basin at the head of the Hanlin Academy.
If it were normal, I would have already made false claims about impeaching 'Master Cong' to confuse the public. Please order his arrest now.
There's just no movement...
It just stopped and it was like suffering a dumb loss.
There is no way, the content in the book "Donglin Party" also partially exists in reality, and it will be difficult to cover up once the fuss breaks out.
Besides, even a fool knows at this time that the reason why this guy "San Shao Cong" wrote such a thing is to vent his anger on his father-in-law, Lin Ruhai.
Even if the big bosses of the civil service group couldn't help but be frightened by the inside information, they still couldn't really take it seriously. Do you really think Lin Ruhai is a soft persimmon?
However, the impact of the incident has already occurred, and the damage to the reputation of the civil service group is considerable, and it will take some time and energy to slowly make up for it.
It's a pity that the Xungui Group didn't seize such a good opportunity to create trouble for the civil service. We don't know what Niu Jizong and other Xungui bosses thought.
…
At this time, Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu had followed Lin Ruhai to Xishan.
He was accompanied by a large number of guards from Xue Pan and the Xue family. After all, Xishan was a border province. Without strong military support, he would never be able to do well.
When they arrived in Jinyang, with Lin Ruhai's ability and skill, it was very easy to control the governor's Yamen. Even if there were people jumping around, they couldn't make any splash at all.
Jia Cong immediately visited the martial arts hero of Jinyang who had exchanged ideas with him a few years ago, and directly revealed the identity of the new governor's son-in-law.
As a result, although they will inevitably encounter private ridicule, some powerful people in Jinyang know that the new governor is not easy to provoke.
At this time, Lin Ruhai took charge of the governor's office and felt that his power was threatened by certain entities. His idea of using the local strongmen in Jinyang to make trouble and gain opportunities for himself and a group of forces completely failed.
Many rules in the frontier land are very different from those in the prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan land. The powerful here value fists more.
"I have long heard that the people in Xishan and other border areas are fierce and fierce, and now it seems that they are indeed well-deserved!"
Lin Ruhai actually felt the pressure. Several officials in the governor's office showed obvious dissatisfaction and hostility.
If this were placed in the Huaiyang Governor's Yamen, it would never happen!
He was not polite, and he simply sent people to Qingshui Yamen to sit on the bench if they could be taken down directly.
As for things that even the governor cannot handle, just pretend you didn't see it and just act in accordance with the rules.
His clean and neat methods actually frightened a group of unruly officials.
At least, in normal business dealings, we won't be blatantly prevaricating.
But even so, Lin Ruhai still felt very dissatisfied. This situation was obviously not what he wanted to see.
"My father-in-law, I have nothing to say. If you don't obey me, just stand aside!"
Jia Cong chuckled and said leisurely: "I think it is more convenient to be so direct, there is no need to play around with it!"
"That's easy to say. Can habits of many years be easily changed?"
Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said angrily: "Don't let your bad idea lead you into trouble!"
In fact, if you really talk about it, you can't blame the officials in the Xishan Governor's Yamen for not giving him face, but they are used to the way things are done here.
In other words, as an official in a border province, your future is actually quite limited.
Because of the constant threat from the barbarians on the grasslands outside the Great Wall, production and life here in Xishan cannot operate normally, and there is no development at all.
It can be said that the whole of Xishan actually revolves around those large and small military states. It is quite hard to make a little profit from the huge amount of money, food and materials transported to the military states.
There is no political achievement when there is no large-scale war, but once a large-scale border war breaks out, the governor's office must be responsible for a very heavy and thankless logistics and transportation task.
If the war goes well, the frontier soldiers will take the credit; if the war goes badly, they will be blamed.
It can be said that anyone who works as an official here in Xishan is basically relegated and has no future at all.
Not being able to be mobilized all year round, he naturally has close ties with local powerful people. At the same time, he is also affected by the customs of the Xishan frontier, and he has a domineering personality.
"Then next, do you want your father-in-law to visit the garrison camps in various places?"
Jia Cong smiled softly and asked directly without talking back to his father-in-law: "Since my father-in-law has the power to control the local garrison, it is better to take control of this place in Xishan as early as possible!"
"Why, didn't you kid say that your martial arts skills are strong enough to protect my safety?"
Lin Ruhai joked: "Do you feel the pressure now?"
"Of course I am sure to protect the safety of my father-in-law and my wife!"
Jia Cong said calmly: "The premise is that from now on, my father-in-law will live in the governor's office for a long time. At most, he will wander around the main city of Jinyang and be an empty governor who cannot make orders out of Jinyang City!"
"What a boy, how dare you arrange this for me!"
Lin Ruhai laughed and cursed, his face gradually became serious, and he said solemnly: "Since I have become the governor of Xishan, I must make a difference!"
"If you want to make a difference, you can't do it without strong force at hand!"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Fortunately, the imperial court has given the command power of the local garrison. I will go with my father-in-law to meet with the powerful people in the local garrison!"
Lin Ruhai nodded silently and said leisurely: "That's all we can do!"
…
Although the decision has been made to firmly control the local garrisons in Xishan, there is no need to be too eager, as if one cannot wait.
After all, the most important job of a governor is to provide peace of mind to the environment and the people!
Lin Ruhai has taken office as a new official, and it's not time to set fire yet.
Jia Cong didn't want to go out at this time. Lin Daiyu was about to give birth. Both he and Lin Ruhai were holed up in the backyard of the governor's Yamen, not daring to go out at will.
When Lin Daiyu was ten months pregnant, she suddenly started to act, causing the entire governor's Yamen backyard to become nervous.
Wow……
A loud cry of a baby rang out, and glimmers of light appeared in the dark sky.
Standing outside the delivery room, Jia Cong's heart suddenly beat violently at this moment. He sensed a mysterious blood connection suddenly appeared in the delivery room, which quickly became clear.
Suddenly, a sudden realization surged in my heart...
The originally majestic mental power seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and suddenly expanded rapidly outwards, expanding more than ten times in an instant!
In my heart, the method of "External Incarnation" that had been obtained from the palace's secret library naturally circulated. Suddenly, the soul that was ten times more powerful suddenly separated into half, and I carefully sensed that I had some kind of special spirituality.
There was a sharp pain in his mind, and Jia Cong suddenly woke up from an inexplicable realization. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt that the whole world was different.
"Congratulations, master, congratulations to uncle, mother and son are safe, mother and son are safe!"
At this time, the personal maid beside Lin Daiyu rushed out of the delivery room, her face full of joy and said: "My lady gave birth very smoothly, please don't worry me and my uncle!"
hehe……
Jia Cong supported the trembling Lin Ruhai, who was about to fall, and said with a smile: "Reward, reward, reward, everyone will be rewarded!"
With that said, he winked at Butler Lin behind him, and left the rest of the matter to him.
He helped Lin Ruhai to the door of the delivery room. At this time, the door of the delivery room had been opened. A midwife came out with a happy face and hugged a baby, congratulating: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations to my uncle, this is the newly born little boy..."
Jia Cong, the biological father, did not have the opportunity to hug his descendant immediately, so he was driven away by Lin Ruhai to arrange the news. Naturally, such good news had to be communicated to all relatives and friends as soon as possible.
Although he was a little worried about Lin Ruhai's crazy and ecstatic look, Jia Cong did not stay any longer. He went into the delivery room to see Lin Daiyu, who was conscious and pale, and then Shi Shiran left the backyard of the governor's office.
He also needs to think about it carefully, especially when the child is just born. It takes time to digest the inexplicable insights and experiences. This is a great blessing...
