Chapter 119: Another major case (4)

In the study, Su Shun, Duan Hua, Zai Yuan, Long Rulin, Huang Xi and Li Ciming looked at an old man wearing a purple flower robe with a gray hair on his temples, but none of them spoke. After a while, the old man asked, "Can this matter be confirmed?"

"It is confirmed that this is what I heard from Yan Danchu and Zeng Disheng and the other two of them in my own ears." Duanhua said, "Zihe, what do you think?"

"If you examine the memorials of the six princes in the past year, blocking the news from the emperor's news, the emperor's strange handling can also be seen." The old man Duanhua called "Zihe" was Chen Fuen, the former military minister who was sent to the emperor for bribing the matter of participating in the capital and would never be hired.

Chen Fuen is from Xincheng, Jiangxi Province. He is the same as Weng Tonghe. He is a talented person with knowledge, writing, and knowledge. He is unparalleled in the world. He can be regarded as one of the top talents in the Daoguang dynasty. However, Chen Fuen did not have such self-motivation as Weng Tonghe. On the contrary, he attached himself to Mu Zhang'a's party and allowed him to drive him away, especially Wang Ding's corpse advice, which made the heroes in the world regret (see this story for details in the previous article, not to be added)!

In the early political affairs of Xianfeng, Chen Fuen sent his own brothers to Yiqi, drove the emperor out of the temple and returned to his hometown in Jiangxi. Like Zhou Zupei, a courtier leader like him was in the martial arts world and was also a top-notch gentry in the province.

In the seventh year of Xianfeng, the emperor went to Jiangnan in the south. Chen Fuen suddenly moved You Xing. He brought a few followers from his hometown in Jiangxi to Jiangning. He had a lot of money and money. He never stayed in his heart. He found an inn in Jiangning City. He did not intend to get back with this opportunity, but just wanted to travel around and appreciate the beauty of Jiangnan.

When the Imperial Master arrived in the city, by chance, he met a person, Wang Youling, the new Shanghai Road. Chen Fuen worked in Zhejiang Xuezhan from the 24th to 26th year of Daoguang, and Wang Youling was the one he passed the exam in Zhejiang Xuezhan. From this point of view, the two of them had a friendship with their junior brothers.

Wang Youling was very happy to meet an old man in a foreign land. He took Chen Fuen's salute, carriage and horses, and servants to the inn where he lived in Jiangning City. The younger brothers lingered day and night, and also told the teacher about his experience of being on the side of the Qinhuai River. Of course, the details of the emperor's playfulness were hidden.

After eight years of leisurely traveling under the forest, Chen Fuen's heart has long been indifferent to the officialdom. I am afraid that some people still remember the old stories in the court. Not to mention that the emperor's edict said: "Send Chen Fuen back to his hometown, take care of the province and take strict supervision." However, from his own heart, he is really reluctant to flow into this muddy water again.

Therefore, whenever Wang Youling asked about his teacher's actions in the future, Chen Fuen always said, "It's enough to wander in the forest and be a rich man. The ups and downs of officialdom are not something that I can bear in my 50s!"

However, later, this incident changed a little. China and Britain had a strife and fierce battle. At this time, the emperor moved to Shanghai and reported to Guangdong that he ignored it. He spent his leisurely life every day, as if there was no such thing at all, which made Chen Fuen feel more and more strange.

Although he was not in the temple and it was rare to hear about such major policies in the court, Wang Youling was the person the emperor had to meet almost every day. The monarch and ministers discussed some of the economic and trade developments in Shanghai in the future, especially some matters related to foreign trade. Later, Wang Youling said that the emperor mentioned two things to him. The first was to establish a place called an exchange in Shanghai; the second was to establish a university in Shanghai or in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although it was not a controversial word, Chen Fuen felt particularly curious about what an exchange is? What is a university? He had never heard of it. After hearing Wang Youling's explanation, he was also like a blind man touching an elephant, which made Chen Fuen even more mist.

Later, after several explanations from Hu Xueyan and Wang Youling, Chen Fuen understood the general meaning. If the university does not mention it, the so-called exchange means gathering all the resources of the Celestial Empire in one place for trading. The state issued a decree to establish an institution, and proposed a part of the transaction volume as a funding.

In this way, the first thing is to eliminate the hardships of merchants and civilians in various provinces, and secondly, it can also provide an extremely clear destination for the people of the Celestial Empire - taking Shanghai as an example, the emperor meant to establish a yarn exchange in Shanghai, and all the silk, mature silk, and cocoons produced in Jiangnan can be taken here for trading - the targets are naturally mainly foreigners.

After listening to Hu Xueyan's decomposition for several days, Chen Fuen finally understood something. However, he also knew that this was the emperor's initial conception, and it was still a long time and a long way to go before it was officially implemented. But as he had seen for many years, the emperor seemed to have extraordinary interest in such novel things. Whether it was railways, military affairs, or even communicating with foreigners, it was something that he didn't even think about during the reign of the Emperor or even during the reign of Emperor Gao.

This made him very interesting, and he often asked Wang Youling about every move and every word and action when the emperor summoned him.

Wang Youling saw that the teacher was a little moved, but with his official position and ability, it would be a fool to say that he could help the teacher return to the temple. After careful consideration, he thought of a good idea for him: "Teacher, the student has recently invited guests at the mansion and wants to invite the teacher to see him."

"Oh? Who was the banquet?"

"It is the first popular man in front of the emperor, Lord Su Shunsu, the former minister of the imperial court."

Chen Fuen has been in the officialdom for many years. How could Wang Youling hide his pretentious behavior? He also knew Sushun, but one was in Shuting and the other was just a idle royal family. In a few years, he became the 'No. 1 celebrity' in front of the emperor? "I have been missing for many years. I didn't expect to borrow your light to meet with him today?" Hearing his words, Wang Youling knew that the teacher had agreed to meet Sushun, so he immediately went down to prepare without mentioning it.

After the guests were crowded and the new magistrate of the old rain entered the mansion, Wang Youling found an excuse and invited Sushun to the back hall. "Sir, this time I have a banquet in the mansion. In addition to practicing it for the adults, I have another thing to invite you."

"What's the matter?"

"It is a matter of a family teacher. He has long heard of the name of the wise and has the heart of caring for talents, so he asked the adults to meet with him and ask for advice in person."

"Your teacher?" Su Shun was stunned. After eating a few glasses of wine, his thoughts were very confused. He had forgotten what Wang Youling had told him and said jokingly, "I wonder which sage is who can have a high-level football like Brother Xueqin?"

"I dare not, what is Xueqin capable of learning from me? She has not learned 10% of my teacher." After pausing for a moment, she still couldn't remember Su Shun, so she had to say, "My teacher is Chen Zihe back then, and her official title is the best and the best."

"Chen Fuen?" Sushun remembered that Wang Youling had indeed told him about this matter. He was surprised at that time, "Oh. I don't know where Brother Zihuo is now?"

"I am in the study of Huyi, waiting to visit the adults."

"What are you talking about?" Su Shun said with a smile, "I haven't seen Mr. Chen for many years. He is a senior student of Lin again. How can I ask his senior to pay homage to the young son? I will take me there and I will give the disciple ceremony to Mr. Zihuo."

Wang Youling hurriedly dissuaded and said, "If this is the case, I dare not lead the way. My master once said that if the adult insists on being polite, I will not dare to fight."

"Okay, what if I don't talk about my age and don't talk about my official position?"

This method was what Wang Youling wanted in his heart. He smiled and said, "Just sir, please come here."

I met Chen Fuen in the study, one called Hegong and the other called the Lord. They had a great time talking to each other. However, when Sushun thought that Chen Fuen's move was intended to rely on himself and serve as a treat in the mansion. When he was learning for many years in the temple, he counseled the staff, and used this as a reason to test the recruitment, Chen Fuen unexpectedly refused his invitation, "My dear Lord is kind to support him, but Fuen has long forgotten all kinds of taboos. Instead of going to the Lord's Mansion in the future and having many offenses, it is better to ask me to let me take a few days. In this Jiangnan area, one can learn the way of implementing the new policy in the court and use it in the future; the other can teach me a lot with Xueqin. When the adults have a summoning place, a piece of text will make me go north and Brother Yuting go away. What do you think?"

Su Shun said in his heart: Chen Fuen is worthy of being a talent trained by Mu Zhang'a for many years. This strategy for others and himself is indeed extraordinary! You know, after all, he was the first abandoned person to drive out of the temple to establish the authority of a new monarch after the emperor was in power. Although there was no such thing as "never use it", as the emperor, as the emperor, if he relied on the emperor's favor, he rashly introduced Chen Fuen into the mansion, what would the emperor think?

With such a conflict and today's fate, Su Shunda can mention himself to the emperor, a Confucian scholar and an old minister of the previous dynasty, without any official position, and I expected that the emperor would not say anything. At that time, when he went north to Beijing, he would be worried about the emperor's face and be able to get his wish. Isn't it a ten-sided approach? Therefore, the two sides hit it off and the host and the guests all had a happy relationship.

After returning to Beijing, Sushun wanted to find opportunities to report the matter to the emperor several times, but the government still had a lot of time, and there was no suitable opportunity. Later, even he himself was demoted to an official from another province in a rage, which made the matter even more wasted.

But no one expected that in August of the eighth year of Xianfeng, when Sushun returned to Beijing to report his first time during his tenure in Shanxi, Chen Fuen actually arrived in Beijing - cooking oil in a fire, everyone can do the icing on the cake, and there is nothing extraordinary. Only timely help can be appreciated and even remembered it - Chen Fuen thought so.

Sure enough, Sushun saw his feelings. Chen Fuen was over fifty years old and he was unwilling to let him suffer the pain of rain and snow, so he left him in the mansion in Beijing, chatting with Long Rulin and Huang Xi, living a drink, and raising two guests on the left and right. He was not the same person. Until March of the ninth year of Xianfeng, Sushun returned to Beijing for the second time. Zaiyuan told him about what he saw and heard in the Military Affairs Office. It would be fine if Weng Xincun was dismissed from office and went to court. Yan Jingming and Zeng Guofan answered in front of the imperial court and privately, which made Sushun suddenly realize that what the emperor said to him back then would probably have been put into practice. He hurriedly recruited several close friends to the study to ask for advice.

Chen Fuen looked at the smoky teacup and continued to the topic he had just said, "Think about it, no matter what, what the prince did last winter was a shame for the ministers, let alone the emperor let go of this blood relative's brother over the years and promoted it one after another. In less than thirty years, he led the Military Affairs Office. Although the emperor made an decision and increased his experience, the king and his ministers worked together, and over the years, he relied on a deep reliance on the implementation of the new policy."

"How angry and angry should the emperor be when such a person does this? But what is the result? He just put him in house arrest and did not do anything. Isn't it strange to think about it?"

"Even if the emperor is angry, he always has to take care of Quantian's family's face? Such a thing is known to outsiders. Not only will the prince suffer a lot, but he is afraid that it is not good-looking for the emperor's face, right?"

Chen Fuen knew that Su Shun was very smart, but he had never read many books after all. Sometimes he would not understand the matter thoroughly. He said with a smile, "If it can be covered up, there is no need to mention it. This matter has been spread throughout the country. In this way, he will be very considerate of it and the deep meaning of it."

"What do you think Brother Zihe?"

"The emperor's holy intention is as good as the sky, how dare I vent my slightest slightest?"

Everyone asked for advice again and again, Chen Fuen nodded and smiled, "If it is in my opinion, there are only two reasons for the Emperor to act like this. Prince Gong is the emperor's blood brother. The first emperor's first emperor's dragon return to the sea. The emperor cursed and sweared in front of the bed to treat the brothers of each family well. This is one of them. Another one is to pave the way for the future. Please think about it, Guiyanshan is Prince Gong's father-in-law, and you will investigate it in the future. If there is anything, the emperor will give you a heavy lesson. Prince Gong is by the side, should you say it or not?"

"Then, Brother Zihe thought, will Prince Gong say it?"

"As a half son, how can I not speak out when I saw the Yue family have such a disaster?" Chen Fuen said, "But, Gui Yanshan was really making a fuss when he was in Liangjiang. "When everyone's eyes gathered on him again, he said, "I have been walking around Jiangnan for the past year. Speaking of which, it was just that the emperor was lucky enough to pay for the money from Liangjiang. The silver used for the flowers in Liangjiang was like mud and sand. I don't know how many of them were flowing into his pockets. Not to mention the railway work, it took many years to do it. If such a thing doesn't happen, it will happen. Once it happens, I am in the world, but I also know that the five years of Xianfeng, six years of Emperor Qianlong Festival, and the emperor's birthday celebrations are all tight and he hastily stopped working. But some?"

"Some. We all think that the emperor is so obedient to others, which is really the true nature of a saint since ancient times."

"That's it. Even the emperor has done this for the successful completion of the railway construction..." Chen Fuen said to his lips, swallowed the word "pretending" and said, "... On the contrary, the officials below were all working hard to invade fish and ink. Think about it, how disappointed the emperor should be? How angry?"

After a moment of silence in the study, listening to the sound of sheng, flute and flute faintly coming from outside, I couldn't find the topic for a while, "Then, Brother Zihe thought, what would the emperor play the next move?"

Chen Fuen shook his head and sighed, "If this matter is not reported, it will be gone, and if it is reported, it will shake the world. I don't know how many people will be dismissed, so you must be careful before you can get it right." He said, "Therefore, no matter how the emperor decides, he should always think about it in advance."

Speaking of this, I can continue speechlessly, and the scene became colder again. Su Shun looked around and stood up. "I won't talk about business today, I just talk about the wind and moon. Everyone is waiting during the meal, but it will not delay everyone's time. Brother Zihe, everyone, let's join me in the banquet."

***************************************************

When he got outside, when it was lively, there was a change on the stage, which was "Cuiping Mountain". Mei Qiaoling played Pan Qiaoyun. He was beautiful and beautiful. Yang Xiong played by Yang Yuelou and Shi Xiu played by Yu Juxian were even more capable. In the end, Yang Yuelou had a single sword all the way, his eyes and hands were not messy, and he danced to the wonderful point, like a lightning, flying all over his body. There was another loud cheering sound from the audience.

Su Wang Huafeng likes to watch such operas that are both singing and chanting and playing. They are more cheerful than any one in the venue. The gongs and drums that resounded throughout the venue could not suppress his voice. Until Su Shun and others came to him, patted his shoulders, and Fang Shi closed his voice and stood up, "Uncle Six, Fourth Uncle Yi Wang? Get a seat quickly and watch with me?" While saying that, he picked up the desk beside the teacup and handed it to Su Shun, "Uncle Six, you are also a master of your family, so you can click it out too?"

In fact, Sushun is much younger than Huafeng, but in terms of this, he is of the same generation as Huafeng's Ama, so he wants to call him that. Sushun waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to, staring at Mei Qiaoling on the stage in a daze. After a year, Mei Qiaoling seemed to be more beautiful and handsome than what she saw on the stage of her sister-in-law's birthday celebration?

Duanhua and others knew that Sushun was specializing in male style. Now, not to mention it now. A few years ago, Zhu Guifen, the famous actors in the capital, were all his favors. However, after getting older and unable to do romantic activities, he was just the first. Now seeing his eyes shining, it can be seen that Mei Qiaoling liked him very much. It is also funny to say that among ordinary guests, Sushun has the lowest rank and the smallest title, but he is respected. Duanhua thought about it, reached out to greet the head teacher of Sanqing Class, whispered a few words, and the latter nodded with a smile and turned around.

On this side, Duan Hua moved his body and approached his younger brother's ear and said, "Lao Liu, my brother asked A Zhao to stay tonight with the old horse of the Sanqing Class. After a while, the show will come to the box and see him."

Su Shun raised her body slightly and smiled, "Thank you brother. I understand."
