Chapter five hundred and ninth, the north and the south know each other, and the heart is yearning
Nanming and the Han were not completely isolated. Officials in the Nanming could communicate with their former colleagues in the Han privately. Similarly, officials in the Han could also contact their old colleagues in the Nanming, and some even
The relationship between father and son is as follows: Changxiao’s father is now living in Suzhou under the rule of Nanming.
The situation is still unclear, and the internal strife in Nanming has not yet completed the re-establishment of order. Therefore, no one has dared to touch Chang Xiao's father. Moreover, Chang Xiao's father, Chang Youzhang, is in Nanming, which is only good for them.
The downside is, if Chang Youzhang dies or is no longer in Nanming, it will be a bad thing for them.[..com]
The officials of Nanming all had some understanding of the Han Dynasty through their own channels. When they first heard that countless officials had been imprisoned, these officials cursed and often laughed at the cruelty and cruelty. However, as time went by, they learned from the Han Dynasty.
I heard various rumors, and it turns out that Chang Xiao is not a weakling in martial arts who only knows how to kill people indiscriminately!
As long as you abide by the rules and don't be corrupt, there won't be any problems. Even if there are mistakes, the most is resignation. At this time, these Nanming officials still have a negative attitude towards the big man Chang Xiao, but as more than half a year goes by,
Countless rumors came to their ears. Regardless of whether these rumors were deliberately released by Nan Ming, in short, these news made these officials gradually develop a yearning for the big man.
After all, there are only a few people who are officials who just want to live and die. Most people have great ambitions to display after becoming officials. After all, what they have learned and practiced tells them to keep their minds straight, cultivate themselves, and maintain a harmonious family.
, Ruling the country and bringing peace to the world is the duty of scholars. Especially the final goal of governing the country and bringing peace to the world is what scholars yearn for.
It's just that these officials later blunted all their ambitions in the dark officialdom.
In fact, everyone yearns for a clear and peaceful officialdom order, but how can a weak member living in the mud dare to change this dirty world?
But the official order of the Han Dynasty was clear and clear. At least compared to the Nanming regime, which inherited the malaise of the Ming Dynasty, it was simply the difference between a basin of clear spring water and a basin of foot-washing water.
Who doesn’t want to live a simpler life? At least those grassroots officials don’t want to have a boss in their heads who can do whatever they want. Who doesn’t want to be promoted by making their own political achievements, rather than by relying on others to sell iron?
Catering to their bosses? You must know that they can only keep at most 50% of the money gained from corruption and oppression, and the rest is not filial piety to their bosses? But they bear the blame alone.
If you can straighten your back and be a human being, who is willing to bend down and be a dog?
The most important thing is that among the Han Dynasty, officials can live a decent life without relying on money. No official can give up the real money and silver of the Dragon Worship Cult.
The Nanming regime wants to drive out the cult, which means that it is very likely that these officials will be punished as members of the cult, and at least a few examples will be captured and killed to serve as a warning to others!
The other is to cut off their way of obtaining financial resources from the Dragon Worship Cult. Both of these are equivalent to killing these officials. Officials who were still a little wavering were suddenly pushed to the side of Chang Xiao, who has the hearts of the people.
, powerful force, victory on the battlefield is simply a matter of course, all of this is simply as if there is a force from behind, quietly, everything has fallen into place.
Jiangnan is a good place, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are even better places for literati and poets to linger over. It is also a romantic place with pink fireworks.
It can be said that it is a blessing to be an official in Suzhou and Hangzhou. As long as you don't have any trouble with the local gentry, you can be regarded as a safe and peaceful position, and you will definitely have no shortage of money and oil.
The position of Suhang Weaving is relatively a well-oiled yamen. The most important task every year is to raise tribute clothes for the palace and border soldiers. This position has great responsibilities, but it is also extremely rich. Anyone who can sit in this position
They are all nobles from generations, and even those who don't have the status of nobles dare not get involved, otherwise they will die without knowing how. It is possible that offending a small cloth merchant can cause a huge lawsuit.
Chang Youzhang has only been in this position for a few years. He has not made much political achievements, but there are no mistakes. According to normal procedures, he will change places in another two years. Of course, there will be progress in his official career. Ming Dynasty
In the officialdom, no mistakes are considered good, and being able to do the job well is considered a good performance appraisal.
According to Chang Youzhang's own plan, if he can join the cabinet in this life, it will be regarded as the appearance of his ancestors and the burning of incense. However, all these expectations were completely disrupted by his son. The ancestors were not as simple as burning incense.
I don’t know if I set fire to several temples before amassing such a fortune.
Chang Xiao is a name that makes Chang Youzhang laugh. The old Chang family only has one son. He is a single child, but he is a troublemaker. Chang Xiao has been restless since he was a child. It is light to bully good people and bully men.
It is common for women to be domineering. I originally thought that this son would just live in Wufeng County for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, one day he went to the capital, and then he caused huge troubles one after another.
Chang Youzhang was so frightened that what he was most afraid of hearing in Suzhou was the news about Chang Xiao. First, he told Chongzhen in front of him that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, which frightened the entire Chang family. What happened next was even more.
, everything kept Chang Youzhang awake at night, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the Suzhou weaving position.
Chang Xiao is the only one in the Chang family. If Chang Xiao had any shortcomings, the Chang family would be completely wiped out.
This is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that Chang Xiao’s behavior is like a knife running fast. The slightest mistake will bring disaster to the whole family. Under such circumstances, Chang Youzhang has always been on tenterhooks.
However, he would write one or two letters from time to time to persuade Chang Xiao and teach Chang Xiao to be low-key and careful in doing things. The most important thing is to give birth to a son and continue the family tradition.
As a result, all these letters fell into the sea. At most, they sent back a message saying that I understood something and other nonsense. Chang Youzhang knew that this son was no longer something he could control.
Suddenly one day, Chang Youzhang's housekeeper reported that it was Housekeeper Lin who asked for an audience. Housekeeper Lin and Chang Youzhang naturally knew who it was. He was one of the chief housekeepers of the Chang family who looked after the home and the courtyard. Chang Xiao went to the capital with this person.
Butler Lin led the way and accompanied him, which shows the importance of Butler Lin in the Chang family.
Chang Youzhang thought Chang Xiao had done another serious crime, and was shocked. He quickly called Butler Lin in. Butler Lin also brought three people, one of whom was Wang Gui. Chang Youzhang also had an impression of this person. Wang Gui
He was Wang Xunfeng's personal guard. Wang Xunfeng had a close relationship with Mr. Chang. They had a lot of interactions in the early years, so Chang Youzhang had some impressions of Wang Gui. Later, he also heard that Wang Gui followed his bastard son Chang Xiao, among others.
The situation is less clear.
Chang Youzhang didn't know the other two people very well. One was a very thin, bookish man in his early thirties, with very smart eyes. He was obviously a man with some ideas. Butler Lin introduced him, and Chang Youzhang knew that this person was called
Kou Zhang was the one Chang Xiao thought highly of, and he was quite talented.
The other one was a tough-minded charlatan, who should at least be a reckless person, but after Butler Lin's verbal introduction, Chang Youzhang realized that this man was a guerrilla general.
Chang Youzhang was confused by these completely incompatible characters. At this time, Butler Lin gave Chang Youzhang a sly look. Butler Lin has also followed Chang Youzhang for more than ten years. If you count,
, it was much longer than the days spent with Chang Xiao. Chang Youzhang thought for a while and then dismissed the servants, even the closest master was invited out.
Several people stayed in the house for a whole day without even eating. It is said that when Chang Youzhang came out, his forehead was covered with sweat and he was about to collapse, as if he had been seriously ill.
After that, Chang Youzhang claimed to be ill and did not go to the yamen office. Many servants were stationed in the entire Chang family residence. Each of these servants wore something they had never seen before on their waists.
It was at the same time that a large number of residential houses around the Chang Mansion were occupied by members of the Dragon Worship Sect. Naturally, the people next door to the Chang Mansion were also dignitaries. One of them, a third-rank official named Qianhe, and Chang Youzhang were a bit difficult to deal with. The neighbors
The neighbors were quite unharmonious.
In fact, there was no quarrel between Chang Youzhang and this neighbor, and there was no interest at all. However, there was a generational hatred between the two. It is said that Mr. Chang's father once read a copy of his humble father in the court.
Qian He's father was demoted two levels and cut off his official career, which was like cutting off a person's path to immortality. However, there was great hatred and hatred, especially Qian He always believed that if his father had not been demoted two levels, he would not be here now.
He only served as a third-grade official before returning home. Qianhe was a stubborn old man with a stubborn temper. Therefore, after Chang Youzhang moved in, the two had never dealt with each other. There were countless minor quarrels and major conflicts.
Three times. This is the so-called officialdom. A family that has been in the officialdom for a long time will sometimes become a mess about who its enemies are. The more gaps there are in the officialdom, the worse it will be for the court. The final result is
You fight against me and I cheat on you, fighting with each other and gradually neglecting government affairs.
It was this stubborn old man. The Dragon Worshiping Cult wanted to rent his house for a large sum of money, but the stubborn old man refused. The Dragon Worshiping Cult kept adding to the price, and the stubborn old man was not short of money. He kept pushing and pushing.
It turns out that the Dragon Worship Cult has become a trend in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and is even more prosperous in Suzhou. Generally speaking, if the Dragon Worship Cult borrows a mansion, it is an honor, and it has nothing to do with the price. The dignitaries around the Chang family have already given up their place.
Now, only this stubborn old man doesn’t know what’s wrong with him and just refuses to leave. For the Dragon Worship Sect, time is getting increasingly urgent. Kou Zhang, the leader of the Dragon Worship Sect, has a huge stake in him and must not make any mistakes.
.
As a result, the stubborn old man passed away in the middle of the night. The doctor said it was a chest paralysis attack. No one knew how he died anyway. Anyway, since then, the Dragon Worshiping Sect has rented the Qian family and settled in it, setting up a hall.
People and believers from all around gathered here.
On the third day after this, Chang Xiao, the capital master, suddenly proclaimed himself emperor.
