On this day, another group of people from the literary world came to the Ministry of Rites and stayed in Shen Xun's class room for a long time.
Throughout the past and the present, the disadvantages of the government affairs promoted by Sun Chuanting are vividly and vividly, and the ready-made examples are Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, etc., all of which are in chaos in the country, and the people are not happy, even if they are not rebellious, they are also misleading the country and the people.
This indirectly marked Sun Chuanting as a 'traitor', and he almost directly criticized and denounced it loudly.
As soon as he returned to the class room, his staff walked in, holding a stack of letters in his hand, and said: "My lord, the letters of the Confucian, twenty of them, are all stating the benefits and disadvantages of the 'New Deal', and their identities are not ordinary, so you have to reply to them one by one." ” Shen Xun is also a person with status in the literary world, and when he heard this, he sat on the chair, rubbed his temples, and said with a headache: "Now you understand Bi Ge Lao's painstaking and lonely intentions, right?"
” The staff put the letter on Shen Xun's desk and said with a smile: "Students are not those who drove the old Bige down. ” I don't know how many people wanted to oust Ziyan at the beginning, but now, most of them regret it.
An old sheep was driven away, and a hungry wolf came!
Shen Xun took a letter casually and said, "Is there any movement over there from Fu Ge Lao?"
” Naturally, Fu Tao's Royal Bank template was stolen and counterfeit currency appeared on the market.
The staff looked solemn and said, "Not yet, this is also a problem for Sun Ge Lao."
Fu Ge can't leave, whether it's the 'New Deal' or the emperor doesn't allow it, but this matter is caught by the outside, and it can't be handled in a low-key manner, and at present, it seems that it can only take one step at a time. ” Shen Xun looked at the letter, and really couldn't help replying, it was a literary person he visited when he was on a study tour before, and he had the 'grace of Professor Half Moon', which was his teacher.
Shen Xun replied while saying: "I'm just afraid that the more it drags on, the more trouble it will be, the court and the opposition don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at, I heard that King Ping's side has lost a lot of silver because of this incident?"
” The staff said: "Yes, there are still some businesses in King Ping's hands that have not been handed over to the Zongren Mansion, most of which were deliberately left by the emperor to King Ping for the elderly, this time it is said that he was deceived with 10,000 taels, and the old prince was distressed and did not go out for several days." ” Shen Xun shook his head, closed the letter, took another one, and said, "King Ping didn't make trouble, I'm afraid he also knows that things are troublesome and wants to stay out of it."
Alright, go ahead, keep an eye out there.
The court is now in a loud voice, don't be careless, our Ministry of Rites must also control it strictly, don't be taken advantage of by others, and you can't get off the stage. ” The staff raised his hand and said, "Yes, the student understands." ” The court is now the target, I don't know how many people are staring at it, picking bones in eggs, once it is nailed, no one can please it.
The staff had just walked out, and not long after they turned around, they handed over a letter with a more solemn face, and said, "Mr.
Chen Yiqing's handwritten letter." ” Shen Xun's face changed slightly, he stood up suddenly, hurriedly grabbed it, and hurriedly opened it.
Chen Yiqing is a master of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, under the tutelage of Wang Yangming, and plays a pivotal role in the Ming Dynasty.
Shen Xun returned to his hometown last year and went to see him, but he was turned away.
Chen Yiqing is Shen Xun's most important teacher, Shen Xun has studied with Chen Yiqing for five years, and is one of the few students of Chen Yiqing.
Shen Xun dared to be lazy, hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it seriously.
The handwriting is still so powerful, and it can be seen that the old man is still in good health.
This letter was written very naturally, with the attitude of an old friend who had not seen him for many years, concerned about Shen Xun's academic progress, and then naturally mentioned a few words: 'The saint cultivates himself, cultivates virtue, cultivates life, family law, patriarchal law, social law, how much does it matter?'
’ With a turn of the pen, he said: 'I am self-gracious, I have never exceeded the rules, I am ashamed to read the book of the sage, and then through the ages, I am cheeky and innocent, and I hope that I will not talk about the past of my master and apprentice, and I am ashamed and difficult'.
This letter, to put it simply, directly refers to Shen Xun for betraying the teachings of the saints, destroying the Sacred Virtue Ancestral Law, and finally severing the master-apprentice relationship.
Shen Xun sat down on the chair with a pale face, looking at the letter in a daze.
Heaven and earth are the kings and teachers, how can the righteousness of the master and apprentice be lightly broken?
If this matter spreads, what face will he have in the court and face the people of the world?
The staff already knew the content of this letter, and they could understand Shen Xun's current mood, looked at his pale face, and said, "My lord, what should I do now?"
” Shen Xun looked bitter, raised his head with complicated eyes, and said, "Do I have any other choice?"
” The staff's lips moved, not knowing what to say.
If such a letter of 'grace and righteousness' and 'expulsion from the teacher' is made public, Shen Xun will be drowned by the foaming stars, even if he is cheeky and refuses to leave, it is impossible for the court to stay.
But on the other hand, Shen Xun's qualifications are very thick, he has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and it stands to reason that entering the cabinet is just around the corner.
The staff didn't speak, Shen Xun didn't know, shook his head, and said, "Needless to say, I'll write a letter to the teacher, let's finish it in five days, and I'll go to the cabinet to see Sun Ge Lao later." ” The staff was taken aback and said, "My lord, there is less than a month to go before the New Year." ” Can't you wait for this little time?
Shen Xun picked up the pen and said expressionlessly: "If I don't leave early, I'm afraid it will be more trouble for the imperial court, so go and prepare." ” The staff is equivalent to Shen Xun's personal secretary, and he is attached to the staff department of the cabinet.
The staff member did not speak, exhaled deeply, raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” Not long after, Shen Xun arrived in the cabinet, but Sun Chuanting was not there, so he could only turn around to see Zhou Yingqiu.
Zhou Yingqiu looked at Shen Xun's resignation and didn't speak for a long time.
Yang Jinchu is just a squire, the influence is quite controllable, if this old senior Shangshu, Shen Xun, one of the important members of the 'Imperial Party', also resigns, for the imperial court, it is tantamount to an earthquake, and it will also shake the prestige of Sun Chuanting, the 'first assistant'.
If Sun Chuanting is shaken, it will definitely be a huge impact on the 'new deal' of the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Zhou Yingqiu looked at Shen Xun, who was sitting opposite, poured him a cup of tea, sighed lightly, and said, "Youyu, you and I have worked together, to say the least, for thirty years, right?"
” Youyu is Shen Xun's word, Shen Xun heard 'thirty years', and then suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Yingqiu, who was already gray-haired, almost ancient.
Shen Xun was in a trance, leaned over and said: "Xiaguan is a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli, and it has been more than thirty years. ” Zhou Yingqiu hugged the teacup, worried, and said, "I heard, you haven't been in good health recently?"
” How many of the elderly in their sixties are in good health?
Shen Xun knew what Zhou Yingqiu was going to say, and said bluntly: "The pavilion elder understands what the lower officials mean, but if the lower officials stay for one more day, it will be one more day of danger for the imperial court. ” Zhou Yingqiu knew that Shen Xun was right, but things would not develop as they expected.
