"There are indeed people in the court who want to help Bo Yuan, but..." Thinking about Dai Quheng being temporarily banned from discussing politics, Weng Fanggang didn't know how to explain it to Jin Zhengxi, so he had to say: "But now I can help Bo Yuan

There are too few people in Yuan Dynasty. Are we really all alone with the Emperor?"

"Then...if we can find more people to help the teacher speak good words in front of the emperor, will...there will be a turn for the better?" It seems that Jin Zhengxi, who is on the outside, can still think of more ways to come out.

"It...is so easy. Nephew Jin, you should also be aware of the situation in our court. If it is true as you say, then the emperor will not only not forgive Bo Yuan, but will actually think that Bo Yuan has many party members in the court.

, How dare you disobey your superiors... If so, it will be even more difficult for Bo Yuan?" Weng Fanggang replied somewhat discouraged.

"Then... Then there is a way to find more people, right?" Jin Zhengxi still insisted on his idea.

"Master Weng, Master Qin!" At this moment, a concierge suddenly appeared outside the door. The concierge came forward and hurriedly said to the two of them: "Two adults, there are several adults from Beijing coming outside. The one at the front is

It was Wang Tingzhen and Wang Xueshi. Wang Xueshi said that the others were students of Ruan Zhongcheng from Zhejiang Province. He heard that the two adults had news about Ruan Zhongcheng and hoped that the two adults could inform them. They said that they were willing to discuss with the two adults to provide services for Ruan Zhongcheng.

Find a way to avoid being sent to the garrison!" Weng and Qin were both surprised and happy when they heard that many of Ruan Yuan's students had also arrived in front of the North Korean embassy.

"That...that's great!" Jin Zhengxi did not have as many worries as Weng and Qin, and said to the concierge: "We still have some vacant rooms here, which can be used for discussion. Hurry, go and invite them in!" Look!

With Jin Zhengxi's enthusiasm, Weng Fanggang and Qin Ying could not refuse.

Not long after, Wang Tingzhen and others were invited into the side room by Kim Zhengxi. Following Wang Tingzhen were Tang Jinzhao, Shi Zhiyan, Chen Shouqi, Yao Wentian and Lu Kun and other Ruan Yuan Jiwei students. Weng Fanggang and Qin Ying also

Jin Zhengxi introduced each other to everyone. Thinking that Ruan Yuan's matter was imminent, he asked Wang Tingzhen: "Se'an, who else in the court can come forward to help Boyuan? It's just me.

It seems that the power of waiting is not enough at all, right?"

"The Minister of Xiangdong has tried his best." Guifang's nickname is Xiangdong, so Wang Tingzhen called her by her name: "But the Minister of Xiangdong himself also knows that it is not appropriate for him to plead with the emperor about this matter. After all, he is not good at it.

Qiunong and Dunfu were all students of Boyuan, so it’s impossible to say this. I am also in the same department as Boyuan. These days, I only feel that the emperor has sent memorials to several of our colleagues in the unitary department.

The words were all merciless, so I thought that this time the emperor must have thought that Boyuan, Jinmen, and Ren Zehe had colluded to deceive him. Master Yeting has now demoted Wu Lumu.

Qi, Jinmen has recognized his serial number again. I think the emperor is now worried about our Jiyou department. Even their Jiyou department. These days, I see that the emperor's attitude has become a lot colder.

, If Xiangdong hadn’t been Jueluo, and he had indeed made great achievements in recent years, I’m afraid…”

"Master Wang, everyone of the same age, I am thinking about what is going on with the teacher now, we are not sure yet?" At this time, Chen Shouqi was more sober than other students, and said to everyone: "Now

What is reported outside is that Mr. Liu was coordinating a serial number in Hangzhou. The teacher knew this and still wanted to report that nothing happened. If this is true, then the teacher’s fault of covering up cannot be escaped no matter what? It’s just according to the teacher’s usual routine.

As a human being, I definitely don’t think that the teacher can behave like this. If the teacher is really misunderstood, we should try our best to save him, but what if what happened to the teacher is true?"

"Gongfu, how can you be so disrespectful to the teacher?!" Tang Jinzhao heard Chen Shouqi's words and immediately refuted: "The teacher has a noble character and would never do such a deliberate cover-up! What's more, this matter

No matter what, the teacher didn't help Xu Buyao get his number, let alone accept bribes, so how could the teacher be demoted to Xinjiang for such a thing?" Yao Wentian, Shi Zhiyan and others also followed suit.

In response to Tang Jinzhao’s words.

"My lords, I...although I have only met the teacher once, but after hearing what Master Qin just said, I still think that the teacher will never cover up others in this matter." At this time, it was actually Jin Zhengxi who stood there.

He came out and said to everyone: "Master Qin just told me that nine years ago, when the teacher first took office as the governor of Zhejiang, Master Qin was also in Hangzhou. At that time, there was a general named Hu in Zhejiang who was chasing pirates but failed to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

He dispatched one day in advance, and although he made some gains, the teacher was still merciless to him and impeached General Hu for disobeying the general's orders. But Mr. Qin also said that the teacher was in Zhejiang at the time, and he was actually the most trusted person.

, the first is General Li Changgeng, and the second is this General Hu. When the teacher participated in the impeachment of General Hu, he also discussed with Mr. Qin, thinking that General Hu also had military exploits after all, or forget it. But in the end, the teacher still thought

Military law is ruthless, and punishment should not be abolished for rewards, so he impeached General Hu while still dedicating General Hu's achievements to the emperor. General Hu knew that the teacher had clear distinctions between rewards and punishments, so he had no complaints about such a result, and from then on,

The naval forces along the coast all knew that the teacher was a person who made clear decisions about rewards and punishments. Therefore, from then on, Zhejiang's naval forces had strict discipline and order, and there was no competition for power or gain! The teacher clearly trusted that teacher.

General Hu still did not shy away from his mistakes, so why did the teacher take the initiative to cover up his serial numbers for Master Liu? Teacher... is indeed not a perfect person, and will make mistakes. I think it is inevitable if he is accidentally overlooked.

Yes, but when it comes to character, I...I am willing to believe the teacher." What Qin Ying said about General Hu is Hu Zhensheng. Ruan Yuan did participate in the impeachment of Hu Zhensheng, but he still trusted him afterwards. Only in this way can the towns along the coast gain

Military discipline is strict and there is no violation of military regulations.

Everyone saw that Jin Zhengxi was willing to trust Ruan Yuan, but did not cover up his fault. For a moment, they all felt that they were from the same school and should not engage in internal strife, so they kept silent. Qin Ying saw everyone's situation and sighed: "Oh,

I do know something about Bo Yuan, so I also know the reason why he is like this now. Bo Yuan's early arrival as a young man is indeed enviable to us, but because of this, people who are familiar with Bo Yuan,

Most of them were veterans who had already been ranked second in rank at the end of Emperor Gaozong's reign. Later, Boyuan came to the capital to study politics and become a governor. I saw these one by one, but what about the people in the capital? Nephew Jin, please go away.

In the next three years, Boyuan gave up his studies and politics early due to his relocation. However, in the next seventeen years, Boyuan only stayed in the capital for one year. Therefore, most of the ministers in the court are not only different from Boyuan.

Familiar, maybe, back then, they saw Bo Yuan standing up and becoming a Jingqing minister early? In their hearts, most of them may not think of helping Bo Yuan, but... they will also add insult to injury, and they are secretly happy. "

"Xiao Xian, you just said...Bo Yuan was familiar with the veterans, right?" Unexpectedly, Qin Ying said this, Weng Fanggang thought of something on the side and said: "Bo Yuan's veterans at that time, Wang Zhongtang, Liu Zhongtang, they are

He is gone, but Dong Zhongtang is still there? You think...if we go to Dong Zhongtang's house to beg for mercy, will...Dong Zhongtang have something to do?"

Everyone thought about Weng Fanggang's words and nodded one after another. After a while, Wang Tingzhen also said to Weng Fanggang: "Mr. Weng, I also thought that now I have to live a dead horse as a living doctor. I... Dong Zhongtang and I

After all, they had been together in Hanlin for a long time, and had handled matters in the Imperial College and South Study Room together. They were not close friends, but they still had some feelings for each other, right? If Dong Zhongtang was unwilling to come forward, then who else in the capital could help at the moment?

Where is Bo Yuan? The emperor is in the Old Summer Palace now. Dong Zhongtang doesn’t have to come in tomorrow. He will probably be at home. How about we go there together and ask Dong Zhongtang for mercy? "

"Well, I will be eighty in two years. I am always a few years older than Dong Zhongtang. For the sake of my old face, Dong Zhongtang still has to show us some kindness no matter what he says.

Right? Let's go there tomorrow afternoon and ask Dong Zhongtang, how about it?" Weng Fanggang thought of his old friendship with Ruan Yuan, and also took the initiative to agree to ask Dong Gao for mercy. Everyone at the table listened and nodded, preparing to go the next day.

Dong Gao's residence.

However, the ideas of Weng Fanggang and others were only half realized. That afternoon, Dong Gao was indeed at home at Dong's residence in Xinjiekou, but throughout the afternoon, Dong Gao had been painting in his study, and asked everyone to come into the house to discuss matters.

There was no response for a long time.

"Dad, are you really unwilling to see guests today?" Dong Gao's son Dong Chun looked at his father's paintings, and asked him incomprehensively: "My son looked at Mr. Weng, Mr. Wang and others, they are already here.

We have been outside for more than half an hour. If we continue like this, my son will think that his father does not even care about the friendship between his subjects."

"The friendship between courtiers..." Dong Gao sighed while looking at the petals on the rice paper that were gradually turning red: "It was because dad cared about the friendship between courtiers that he wanted to avoid them and let them leave early.

Ah? If they continue to stay here, it will harm them if word spreads. Why are they so persistent? Just like me twenty years ago, when I painted these petals, there were always too many

It's a bit more upright and a bit less natural. It's only in the past two years that my method of writing can really match the power of nature. This flower...is finally alive?" Looking at Xincheng

In this painting, the apricot blossoms are painted, every column and every petal is lifelike, and I nod unconsciously.

"Dad, how can this... son reply to them?" Dong Chun asked in confusion after listening to his father's words.

"Let's just say that dad has his own way." Dong Gao still said calmly: "Also, in fact, in the matter of Ruan Zhongcheng this time, according to dad's idea, the person who broke the situation may be the Guanglu Shaoqing Lu Yinpu

Ah, think about it, if Liu Fenggao really fell, who would benefit the most from him? But that was only Liu Fenggao. Now that he has gone to Qiqihar, why should Lu Yinpu pursue Ruan Yuan? I think

The emperor should also know about their relationship. If Lu Nanshi can save face for Boyuan, maybe the emperor should calm down. Alas... Lu Nanshi, why do you have to be so heartless?

"

Seeing his father's resolute attitude, Dong Chun did not dare to refute Dong Gao, so he had to inform Wang Tingzhen and others of Dong Gao's words. Seeing that Dong Gao seemed unwilling to lend a helping hand, Ruan Yuan and his old friends and students were immediately disappointed.

.

"Alas...Dong Zhongtang, I thought he was also a gentleman who tried to stop Heshen back then, but why...now is he unwilling...even if he just begs the emperor not to send Shu Boyuan?" Weng Fanggang looked at Dong Chun.

Having already returned home, he sighed to everyone.

"Humph, what kind of gentleman is he? He's just Hu Guang of the time!" Chen Shouqi also said angrily. He said that Hu Guang was the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He served as three ministers for decades, but he had troubles with his relatives and eunuchs, and became a roly-poly in the officialdom.
