Although he was very dissatisfied with the civil servants who were mainly Jiangnan gentry, Zhou Shixiang did not deduct their treatment.

Huang Zongxi is the general constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. According to the rules, he can get a house in Nandu, but he did not live in the house allocated by the court, but has been living in the house bought by his protégé Wan Sitong in Nanjing in the early years. . This place is located on Chengxian Street, not far from Guozijian, and only four miles away from Miyagi.

Right now, the houses in Nandu are the cheapest since Ariake. After the Taiping army entered Nandu, they bloodied the city for three days, causing the good houses formerly occupied by the Manchus to become ownerless houses overnight. Immediately afterwards, Jinyi’s pro-military carried out a large-scale prison case, and arrested a lot of nobles and nobles. As a result, the real estate in Sanshan Street, an inch of land and a lot of money, was left unattended. Therefore, Huang Zongxi did not want the residence assigned by the imperial court, so it was not difficult to buy one in the city by himself. At the beginning, Taifu Qian Qianyi also persuaded him to settle in Nandu, but Huang Zongxi did not agree and still lived in Wan Sitong’s house.

Because of recent troubles, Huang Zongxi slept very unsteadily these days, and slept very late. Last night, I stayed up all night and wrote an article overnight.

After dawn in the east, Wan Sitong came hurriedly, and he couldn’t help feeling distressed when he saw that the teacher had not slept all night, and his eyes were darkened. After he entered the house, he opened the window, and a burst of coolness instantly lifted Huang Zongxi’s spirit.

“Teacher, I just got the news that Yushu’s father Zhang Jiuzheng has also been arrested.”

Wan Sitong looked very worried. The jade book he was talking about was Zhang Yushu, a young censor who was arrested by the pro-military army a few days ago on the charge of “passing prisoners”.

“Zhang Jiuzheng?”

Huang Zongxi was a little surprised to hear this, because he knew this Zhang Jiuzheng, who was a genius in Zhenjiang who was elected in the second year of Shunzhi, and who was a jinshi in the fourth year. He had never returned to his hometown, and even his son Zhang Yushu had never met him a few times.

“When did he come back, why haven’t you heard about Yushu?” Huang Zongxi frowned slightly.

“I just got the news too.”

Wan Sitong didn’t dare to think deeply, because if Zhang Yushu knew that his father was back but didn’t tell him and his teacher, then the crime of “passing prisoners” would be true. After all, Zhang Jiuzheng had served in the Qing court for more than ten years and suddenly came back, who knows whether he really abandoned the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, or had other plans. If this had been greeted beforehand, it was another matter.

Recently, the anti-revolt in Jiangnan has been in full swing, and many gentry officials who have colluded with the Qing army have been dug up. Many previously unknown news have spread to the southern capital, so that many officials in southern capital are now restless. Some of them did not collude with the Manchu Qing, but they were afraid that their relatives and friends lard were deceived by the Tatars. The suppression of the counter-revolutionary expands, and God knows if it will affect him.

I heard that Wang Shirong, who presided over the suppression of rebels in Jiangnan, has already released harsh words, saying that he would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let one go. As a result, not only Jiangnan, but also Nandu is shrouded in terror.

“Is it just the Zhang family? Who else is involved in this matter? Do you have any idea in mind? If not, it is best to check it in the courtyard first, lest we all be kept in the dark. As the saying goes, The teacher is famous, and the body is not afraid of the shadow, but if our shadow is not correct, how can the teacher be famous.”

What Huang Zongxi is most concerned about now is who else in the Metropolitan Procuratorate may be involved in “passing prisoners”. He didn’t want to be arrogantly in front of him by Gu Yanwu, who had been driven to Niushou Mountain outside the city by him, and scolded him that the court was a traitor.

“Zeng Guolin and Wujie, I’m afraid there are problems.” Wan Sitong sighed, “But I heard that they are loyal enough, and Fanzi was tortured. Said he had seen them.”

“Fanzi” was the name given to the Dongchang Eagle Dog by officials in the past, but now it has become the name given to those brocade-clothed inner guards in Nanzhen. In the eyes of the officials, what Nanzhen Neiwei did was no different from that of the Dongchang Fanzi back then, or even worse.

Zeng Guolin and Wu Jie were taken away by the pro-military three days ago. The former was a disciple brought by Huang Zongxi from Zhejiang, and the latter was a young and talented person who participated in Enke last year and ranked in the top two. However, Xu Dading was in the service of the military department, and was taken away by the pro-military as early as a month ago.

I heard that Xu Dading was bought by Nalan Mingzhu, the first-class guard of the Qing court, with a lot of money. He secretly conveyed military information to Mingzhu by using the identity of the military department in the matter, and secretly attracted many officials who had complaints against the Taiping Army in Nanjing. This matter has been confirmed by Zhang Huangyan, the minister of military affairs. Huang Zongxi does not trust others, but always trusts Zhang Cangshui.

“This Xu Dading is really detrimental to the yin. If you don’t save yourself, why hurt others.” Huang Zongxi took a sip of tea and said, “Zeng Ding’s son finally got the Juren. When the Tartar army arrived in Fujian, he provided a lot of news. Now that his son has been arrested for being involved in prisoners, I really don’t know how to explain to Zeng Ding Lao.”

Zeng Dinglao was a famous scholar in Zhejiang. Huang Zongxi received a lot of support from him in his early years. When he was invited to Nanjing by Qian Qianyi, Huang Zongxi specially brought Zeng Dinglao’s son Zeng Guolin with him. When Xu Dading got together, he really hurt others and himself.

Wan Sitong hesitated and asked in a low voice, “Can you still live?”

“Difficult!” Huang Zongxi shook his head, “King Qi’s side has been ruthless in investigating the prisoners. If Zeng Guolin was really a prisoner, it would be good to be exiled to Annan.”

What is the difference between exile Annan and put to death?

Wan Sitong was very sad and regretful, and hesitated: “Should I go to Nanzhen in person? Just clear it up if I can, and try to deal with it lightly?”

“What’s the use of you going?” Huang Zongxi said angrily: “Those gangsters don’t even care about your Majesty, and they still care about you and me? Besides, can this kind of thing be unclogged? Don’t unclog it. Put yourself in instead.”

Wan Sitong was silent after hearing this, knowing that the teacher was right. If he impulsively went to Nanzhen to clear it up, not only would he not be able to save others, but he would even bring himself and even the teacher in. After all, Zhou Dang’s side is now staring at the Metropolitan Court, hoping that the teacher has any reason to be caught by them.

After a while, Wan Sitong handed a letter to the teacher.

“Who’s letter?” Huang Zongxi took the letter, opened it and said, “Huang Wu?!”

Wan Sitong nodded and whispered, “Huang Wu wants to ask the teacher to set up a line for him.”

“Why, does his Great Qing’s Duke Haicheng think that the Great Qing’s ship is going to sink?” Huang Zongxi smiled coldly: “In those days, he jumped onto the Great Qing boat himself, but now that the boat is about to sink, he thought he could jump. Come out and ask for peace?”

Wan Sitong smiled bitterly. If Huang Wu had not saved his life when he was an officer in Pinghe County, he would not have agreed to transfer the letter to the teacher on his behalf, asking the teacher to come forward and vouch for the court on his behalf.

“How could this person want to write to me, begging me to come forward?”

Huang Zongxi is a little puzzled. As far as he knows, Huang Wu betrayed Zheng Sen and surrendered to the Qing court. As a result, the Haicheng Fortress, which Zheng Sen invested countless manpower and material resources to build over the years, fell into the hands of the Qing court. Ten thousand plans for ordnance, food and salaries, and even Jinsha lost the most important gateway stronghold in the periphery.

Because of this skill, the Qing court named Huang Wu “Haicheng Duke”, and gave the imperial seal to open Zhangzhou. In the 14th year of Shunzhi, the Qing court enshrined Huang Wuzu and gave gold to build an ancestral hall in his hometown Xiaoling. For the “honor” given by the Qing court, Huang Wu is also very grateful for the grace of the new master, dedicated to working for the Qing court, and making many military exploits.

Now, Huang Wu suddenly sent a letter to himself saying that he would return to Daming again, which must have surprised Huang Zongxi. Because according to common sense, Huang Wu should directly submit the surrender form to Zhou Shixiang, King of Qi, and lead the crowd to surrender, instead of looking for him, the famous and powerless General Constitution of the Supreme Court.

“Teacher, don’t forget about the Zheng family, they probably don’t want to see Huang Wu come over anyway.”

After being reminded by Wan Sitong, Huang Zongxi finally understood that Huang Wu caused the Zheng family to suffer so much loss. Now the Zheng family’s army has been incorporated by the King of Qi, and Zheng Sen’s younger brother Zheng Zhi has inherited the title of the Prince of Fujian, and the Taiping Army Eighty percent of the navy’s power was adapted from the Zheng family navy. That Dinghai Duke Zheng Mingjun’s uncle and nephew even led the navy northward. It was really difficult for Huang Wu to surrender. If King Qi did not accept Huang Wu’s surrender because of the Zheng family, then this man could only sink with the ship Man Qing. But if Nandu had the emperor’s decree to directly accept his surrender, no matter how dissatisfied the Zheng family was, they couldn’t go against the emperor’s decree.

“I will explain this matter for him and His Majesty.”

Huang Zongxi thought about it, although he was very shameless about Huang Wu surrendering to the Qing Dynasty~www.readwn.com~, but he thought that this person is now the Shandong governor of the Qing court after all, and one of the governors is an important minister. If Huang Zongxi can come forward and recruit him, Yu Gong Yu There are great benefits to being private.

With this in mind, Huang Zongxi asked Wan Sitong to write a reply letter to Huang Wu to express his attitude. Wan Sitong was grinding ink in the teacher’s room. When he picked up the pen to write, he saw an article on the desk whose ink was not completely dry.

“”Yuanjun”?”

Curious, Wan Sitong looked carefully, but the opening words of this “Yuanjun” made him stunned.

“In ancient times, the world was the master, the king was the guest, and those who run the business throughout the life of the king were the world.”

Vance looked at the teacher with a puzzled face: “Teacher, this Yuanjun?”

“I wrote it last night.” Huang Zongxi walked to the table, picked up “Yuanjun”, blew lightly, and then said: “I have been thinking about what the ancients established the monarch for. The purpose of establishing a monarch in ancient times was to make the world benefit from its own interests and relieve the world from its harm, not to establish a monarch for the purpose of establishing a monarch. This is a monarch who, in the eyes of a teacher, has to shoulder the responsibility of suppressing private interests and promoting public interests. , I mean, the monarch is the public servant of the world.” Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
