Pang Chunlai leaned on crutches and looked at Hanzhu Mountain several miles away. He sighed with emotion: "Oh, I didn't expect that the Fei family style has been ruined to this extent."
With the support of Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai first went to Fei's ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Fei family there. Then he went to Fei's ancestral house, took out the "Four Books Annotations" soaked in water, and asked for it as a teacher of Hanzhu Academy.
Meet the Fei clan leader immediately.
This is the proper procedure, not to mention a hundred years ago, even fifty years ago, the Fei clan chief would definitely have personally intervened.
However, when Pang Chun came on this trip, he didn't even see the housekeeper.
He was only invited in by the welcoming servants. He sat in the small hall and drank tea. He asked about the cause of the incident and was told that he was helping to inform the superiors.
The children of the clan destroyed the books of sages, bullied their classmates to the point of going crazy, and the parents dared to make a big fuss at Hanzhu Academy. In the past, the clan elders could have been summoned to a meeting!
But now?
After Pang Chunlai finished a cup of tea, he was sent away as a gift, and the Fei family didn't even bother to pay attention.
Pang Chunlai turned to look at the intersection of the two rivers. There was an archway standing alone at the mouth of the river. It was called the "Three-person Pavilion". It was erected when Fei Hong was the chief minister. Master Pang sneered and said: "Fei's family in Qianshan has a weak cultural heritage."
, it is no accident that his official career is bleak."
Zhao Han stood there with Pang Chunlai for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Sir, have you made a decision in your mind?"
"How do you know?" Pang Chunlai asked.
Zhao Han analyzed: "If you didn't have a plan, sir, you would have returned to Hanzhu Mountain in a hurry. How could you have the leisure to sigh by the river? Moreover, you deliberately took the students to stay. Maybe the students need to implement this plan."
"You are indeed very smart," Pang Chunlai couldn't help but admire, and then added, "I'm just hesitant whether to do that or not."
"It seems like a bad idea." Zhao Han said.
"The best thing to do is to persuade the elders of the Fei family to enforce the Fei family rules," Pang Chunlai sighed and shook his head, "Enforcing the family rules is just a show. Who would have thought that the Fei family didn't even do any superficial work!
"
Zhao Han guessed: "There are too many clans and each has its own industry, so it is difficult for people to unite. The clan leader's words are ineffective. As time goes by, he will be too lazy to take care of it."
Pang Chunlai sat down cross-legged, put the crutch across his knees, and asked: "Zhao Han, do you know where my teacher is from?"
Zhao Han replied: "The accent sounds like Shandong?"
"Liaodong." Pang Chunlai looked at the quietly flowing Qianshan River.
Zhao Han was quite surprised by this: "That gentleman's hometown..."
"They were taken over by that Jiannu, and their family members were gone," Pang Chunlai seemed to be lost in memories, "Liaodong scholars, most of them were generals, and even if they were barely able to serve as teachers, they could be considered as generals' children. Their families were ruined, their wives and children were separated, and a scholar became a refugee.
.In the first year of Tianqi, Duke Yun was ordered to handle the affairs of the household, work, and military departments..."
"Who is Mr. Yun?" Zhao Han couldn't help interrupting.
Pang Chunlai said: "The prince is taboo in Jin."
Zhao Han asked again: "If I have three ministries, do these three ministries fall under his control?"
Pang Chunlai nodded: "He is also the left minister of the three ministries."
Zhao Han was speechless secretly, and there were only two words left in his mind: Awesome!
Zhao Han had heard of the name Wang Zaijin, but he really didn't know that this person was actually responsible for the affairs of three ministries.
For hundreds of years during the Ming Dynasty, there were people who took power and were in charge of both ministries. In the Jiajing Dynasty, Wang Hong served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Ministry of War at the same time.
But those are two ministers, and Wang Zaijin is the left minister of three books!
how to say?
You can understand that the specific affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War are all handed over to Wang Zaijin. If an old scalper does well, the credit goes to the Minister. If he does not do well, it is his own responsibility.
At that time, the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Party were engaged in a very fierce party struggle, and the position of each Zuo Shilang was very valuable.
The two sides actually reached a temporary compromise and let Wang Zaijin serve as the left minister of the third department, which shows how strong his ability is!
It was simply that the military situation in Liaodong was extremely urgent and no one else could handle it and did not want to take on the responsibility, so they placed all the burden on Wang Zaijin's shoulders.
Pang Chunlai continued: "Gong Qinyun is a talented person who can manage the world. Guangning was defeated and Duke Qinyun was ordered to conduct military campaigns in Liaodong. That's when I went to work for him. I am a sour scholar without much ability.
Just because I was familiar with the geography of Liaodong, I was lucky enough to be the guest of Duke Yun. It's a pity, it's a pity that people who can do things can't compete with those who fight in the party."
Zhao Han was increasingly surprised that the old scholar in front of him was once an aide to the Liaodong Economic Strategy.
Pang Chunlai smiled bitterly and said:
"I only followed Duke Yun for four months, and his Liaodong strategy was taken away from him. There was no charge or fault. It was just that some people slandered him for being unfit for the big job. He was not satisfied with being recalled to Beijing, so he was forced to get involved in party disputes and was
They are excluded from going to Nanjing to retire.”
"Both parties in the party struggle cannot tolerate him, just because he intends to shrink the Liaodong defense line! I am a Liaodong native, and my whole family died tragically at the hands of Jiannu. Who is willing to abandon the land of Liaodong? For the people of Liaodong, all those who could escape at that time ran away, and those who did not escape were all killed.
Take away. Hundreds of miles of white land. What to do with taking it back? We still have to move the escaped people back outside the customs! The longer the defense line is stretched, the more slaves will attack everywhere. We can only defend passively, not proactively.
Attacking is a waste of manpower, material and financial resources!"
"It's like fighting with someone. You can't keep extending your arm, waiting for someone to chop it with a knife at any time. You have to draw it back and make it into a fist, so that you can exert force. Lords in the court, such a simple truth is not
Do you understand?"
Zhao Han said: "I dare not understand. If you understand, you will abandon the land and the people, and you will be responsible for the loss of the country."
"You are so young, do you understand this?" Pang Chunlai turned to look at Zhao Han.
Zhao Han said: "I understand a little bit."
"You are indeed gifted and your wisdom is far beyond ordinary people," Pang Chunlai continued. "Gong Qiyun couldn't bear the humiliation and resigned in anger. This resignation letter was written from Beijing to Nanjing, and I followed him to Nanjing.
Duke Yun was so kind that when he resigned and returned home, he actually thought of arranging a way out for me. He wrote a letter and recommended me to come to Fei as a private school teacher. Otherwise, I would have starved to death in Nanjing long ago!
"
So, you've gone around in a big circle, what exactly do you want to say to me?
Zhao Han looked at Pang Chunlai doubtfully.
Pang Chunlai praised: "You did a good job today. The thief wanted to break into the long house in the mountain, but you were the only one to step forward. A man in this world can have no power, no money, no talent, but only responsibility.
You are responsible and benevolent, so good, so good!"
Zhao Han reminded: "Master Fei (Fei Ruhe) also stepped forward to stop it."
Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "He has a sense of loyalty. Seeing you step forward, he will also stand up to protect you, otherwise you will be hated by the thief." Suddenly he asked for no reason, "What is the first important point of the art of war?"
"Advancing troops to defeat the enemy and subjugate the enemy's army without fighting?" Zhao Han could not confirm.
"Yes, at such a young age, I have actually read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu," Pang Chunlai said with a smile, "What we are going to talk about today is to attack the enemy and save him!"
Zhao Han asked: "Is the Fei family an enemy?"
Pang Chun looked at Zhao Han and became more and more appreciative: "Of course. If you want to save Xu Ying's family, the enemy will not only be Fei Yuanjian's parents, but also the entire Qianshan Fei family.
Because facing outsiders, the Fei clan must be one. However, the Fei clan in Qianshan is not monolithic, and there are many conflicts within the clan."
Zhao Han thought for a while and said: "So, we must attack the enemy and save him, so that Fei will be in chaos, and Fei Yuanjian's family will not be able to tolerate Fei."
"A boy can be taught!"
Pang Chunlai was extremely satisfied with Zhao Han and asked: "What does Fei value most?"
Zhao Han analyzed: "The Fei family is not short of money, but now it seems that they don't care about their reputation. They only have the last bit of family face left."
"What kind of face? It's just a fig leaf," Pang Chunlai said sarcastically, "Let's just tear off that fig leaf!"
Zhao Han asked: "Sir, are you not afraid that I will inform you?"
"You can stand up and block the road today, so you are not a snitch," Pang Chun said mockingly, "So what if you are a snitch? My family is ruined and I am alone. I finally met a proud disciple who has regarded Xu Ying as half of my children and grandchildren.
, How can the Fei family be allowed to treat them so badly?"
Well, not just to protect the calf, but to seek justice for his "son"!
Pang Chunlai also had selfish motives. All his family members were dead. He probably wanted to adopt Xu Yingchuanxianghuo, but he didn't expect to be bullied by Fei Yuanjian until he went crazy.
Zhao Han said: "Sir, please explain clearly how to do things."
Pang Chunlai said: "Fei Songnian was nearly 70 years old when he gave birth to his son, and there were some unsavory rumors. I will write the story of love and moon, and you can take it and post it everywhere. Post a few copies at Fei's ancestral home, Hekou Town
Post a few copies, and post a few more copies to Hanzhu Private School and Academy. Especially Hanzhu Academy, where some scholars from the county are studying, and some famous Confucian teachers teach. If they know about this family scandal, I am afraid it will spread throughout the next year.
Half of Jiangxi."
Damn it, what a vicious strategy, what a despicable method!
No matter whether Fei Songnian is really a cuckold, as long as the news spreads, he will have to wear the cuckold even if he doesn't wear it!
Zhao Han reminded: "In this case, Xu Ying's family may be retaliated even worse."
Pang Chunlai smiled mysteriously: "The chief of Hanzhu Academy will help us when the time comes."
"Why?" Zhao Han asked doubtfully.
Pang Chunlai said: "Fei Yuanlu is the eldest son of Fei Yaonian. Although he is just a scholar, he is not low in talent and learning. He is just too addicted to poetry and articles. He has long wanted to rectify the family tradition, and has long wanted to rectify Han.
Zhu Academy, but he has never been able to find an opportunity to take action. Once the scandal spreads, the bigger the trouble, the better, and he will definitely take the opportunity to take control of the academy."
"Isn't he already in charge of the academy?" Zhao Han asked.
Pang Chunlai shook his head: "Hanzhu Academy is like a country. Fei Yuanlu, the mountain chief, is just a high-ranking emperor. Each clan is a local wealthy family, and their slaves have already controlled various affairs of the academy. Even Hanzhu Academy
After Fei Yaonian's death, the school fields were robbed due to uneven division of families. Hanzhu Academy now has no money, and there are only a few hundred acres of school land left. The academy's funds need to be borne by each sect. Fei Yuanlu must take the opportunity to get back the school land.
, he can truly control the academy!"
Damn it!
Zhao Han was completely convinced. A campus bullying incident actually turned into a political battle and the art of war. Does it need to be so thrilling?
Zhao Han asked the last question: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me, why should I take huge risks to help you do this kind of thing?"
Pang Chunlai asked: "Why are you talented and intelligent, and you have Fei Yinghuan's support, but you ignore the imperial examination fame and do not want to study hard with me? Why do you practice martial arts every day? Why do you pay attention to the political affairs in the Tang newspaper? A little
Child, you are so scheming, what do you want to do?"
"Students are just playful." Zhao Han said with a smile.
"I believe Fei Ruhe is playful, but I definitely don't believe you are playful," Pang Chunlai asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Even if you plan to rebel in the future, I will do my best to help you as a teacher."
Zhao Han quickly denied: "Sir, you are overthinking. Why would you rebel if I have nothing to do?"
Pang Chunlai sneered and said: "You can rebel. If I were twenty years younger, I would also plot to rebel. Really, rebellion has a better future than the imperial examination. Even if you don't have this idea, I advise you to try it in the future."
"Why do you say that, sir?" Zhao Han asked.
Pang Chunlai was obviously trying to seduce children and instill the idea of rebellion in Zhao Han: "People in the customs don't know, but I know in Liaodong that the Ming Dynasty may not have much time. Taxes are increasing day by day, and the military posture is increasing sharply, so we can only increase
Taxes and rates are nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. If the new emperor is wise, there may be a turn for the better, but I have read the newspapers for the past year and it turns out that the current emperor is just an irresponsible cleverness."
Zhao Han said: "Today's sage has wisely eliminated the eunuchs, and all the people praise him for his wisdom and martial prowess."
"He is so wise and powerful as hell," Pang Chunlai said sarcastically, "To kill a eunuch, he could handle a matter with just one sentence, hesitantly, coquettishly, and secretly, and created so many details! In the end, it was not the case.
One sentence is enough? When electing cabinet ministers, he actually drew lots and used the court as a gambling table, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world. After one year on the throne, he has changed three chief ministers, which is an act of chaos to the country. In terms of power and responsibility,
He is not even as good as Wanli!"
The fourth first assistant will be replaced soon...
Pang Chunlai said: "Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River are overwhelmed by Liao's wages. How can the bitter cold in the northwest bear it? Within ten years, there will be great chaos in the world, or there will be Zhangjiao and Huangchao!"
By the way, the three additional rates at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not only targeted in the north, but were shared equally across the country based on land area.
But the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and the population is large, so you can still live on evenly.
Not so in the northwest, which simply forces the people to rebel.
Pang Chunlai smiled and said, "My dear, how about I teach you how to rebel?"
Zhao Han thought to himself, why do you still need to teach? The high school politics textbook is the art of slaying the dragon.
