The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

In Beijing in May, Shen Yiguan has been having a very happy life recently.

As Qi Shengguang was sentenced to lingchi and the demon book case came to an end, it seemed that the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party had also entered into a great reconciliation.

The Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period was an era of frequent natural changes and natural disasters. Celestial phenomena that had not been seen for decades appeared repeatedly. Otherwise, important buildings suffered catastrophic changes, and imperial tombs collapsed or palaces burned down.

It can be said to be a warning from God, but the more reliable reason seems to be that the service life of buildings in this era is more than 200 years. By the 30th year of Wanli, these buildings have also reached the end of their service life, so everything that should collapse and should be destroyed Start to appear.

Celestial phenomena that occurred in the first half of the thirty-second year of Wanli included: a solar eclipse; a shooting star with stars as big as a bucket that turned from white to red, making the night as bright as day; and the bright tower of Ming Changling was struck by lightning and burned down.

The three cabinet ministers, who were finally safe after the demon book case, united for this reason and once again requested the abolition of the mining tax.

This time in history, when the mining tax was abolished, the pavilion elder Zhu Geng personally wrote the three treatises on "maintaining the status quo, sending envoys, and expediency." The three pavilion elders signed it together. The magnitude of the move shocked the world - but this document was copied to Wang Wenlong a few years ago. Shen Yiguan spent it, so this time he used the words of Zhao Shiqing, another big boss who did not belong to any party, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

With the blessing of the boss' words, the three cabinet ministers even specially chose a rainy day to visit the Wenhua Hall in plain clothes despite the rain.

Emperor Wanli was quite surprised and ran out to see what these three were going to do, and then he was handed a coupon.

If he doesn't do this, he will probably stay in the Wenhua Palace and not come out.

As a result of Shangshu, Zhao Shiqing's excerpts were spread all over the world, and Emperor Wanli also praised his writing for being good, and then nothing happened.

But it doesn’t matter whether Shangshu can succeed or not. The most important thing is that Shangshu shows the unity of the three cabinet elders and the joint cooperation of the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party. This brings an optimistic atmosphere in the capital, and many people People feel that with the end of the demon book case, the party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party has also ended, and both parties can do something together.

It seems that this time the demon book case has been going on for more than half a year, and the turmoil in the party and government caused not only did not worsen the relationship between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, but also gave the two parties an opportunity to communicate and bridge their relationship.

This appears to be the case on the stage, but the actual situation is naturally the opposite: the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party stopped fighting because both parties were weakened, and at the same time there was nothing new to make a fuss about, so they took a rest and tolerated it.

As long as there is another opportunity for party struggle, the vicious political struggle will be staged again in minutes.

Wang Wenlong's letter was sent to an express delivery shop eight hundred miles away. He paid fifty taels of silver for it, but it arrived at Shen Yiguan's house in just ten days.

Shen Yiguan was in a good mood recently. Hearing that Wang Wenlong had sent a letter through the express delivery shop, Shen Yiguan called his staff. He sat on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes and rested, and said: "Open it and read it to me."

The master agreed, opened the book and said: "Shen Gongjiaomen Dajian, Wenlong paused, and after a long time of sparing notes, the time has passed..."

Jiaomen is Shen Yiguan's nickname. He originally had a more commonly used nickname, Longjiang, but his nemesis Shen Li also had the nickname Longjiang. Wang Wenlong found out that Shen Yiguan had been unlucky recently with his nickname, Longjiang, so he called him specifically. "Shen Gong Jiaomen".

Sure enough, Shen Guanyi laughed when he heard this and said: "This Wang Jianyang is a returnee from overseas. Although he is usually very clever in thinking, his letters are always very rough. Now that he is so particular about words, could he be writing to ask me for help?"

The master continued to read: "I have long heard that the mountain people are suspected of causing harm to the country and the people, and they have been running around the capital for a long time, but no one has forgiven them. I am the capital of the world, and everyone is watching from all directions. How can I tolerate such a arrogant person?" Do you want to act recklessly? Shanren hides in the market and in the court, like a wolf and a tiger, and is difficult to detect. When the demon book case was discovered, the capital was shocked, and everyone gave a blowjob, all pointing to Shanren as the culprit..."

Wang Wenlong mentioned that the Zhejiang Party promoted the expulsion of the Beijing Shanren staff during the demon book case, which indeed made Shen Yiguan even happier.

Although the entire demon book case actually caused damage to the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, the damage to the Zhejiang Party was significantly less, and there was even a little bit of victory: the Zhejiang Party expelled all the mountain people in the capital through the demon book case.

Most of the Shanren celebrities are related to the manipulation of public opinion. The Zhejiang Party basically relies on actual official interests to unite comrades. Manipulating public opinion is the Donglin Party's special skill. Expelling the Shanren will have a negative impact on the Donglin Party's power in the capital. The damage is very great.

Now that the battle is over, it is time to review the results. When Wang Wenlong mentioned this proud incident, Shen Yiguan smiled and said: "I have always been opposed to allowing these people from three religions and nine classes. For example, in my house, all the staff are members of the staff. , how can you use those poets, monks, Taoist priests and other miscellaneous people? Things will happen if you come into contact with those people too much!"

Shen Yiguan is really not bragging. He has paid great attention to this aspect since he became the elder of the pavilion. The counselors used in the government are all famous people. Such people have legitimate rights to come to the capital. Everyone knows that he does not accept mountain people.

Sure enough, such caution has yielded good results. In the Demon Book Case, Shen Guangyuan successfully directed all attacks on Shanren's staff to the Donglin figures.

Then Wang Wenlong continued to flatter him in the letter: "At this time, Mr. Shen Ge stood alone, clearly understood the troubles caused by the mountain people, resolutely rebuked him, and raised his arms to clean up the bad customs in the capital. After that, the capital's atmosphere was completely new, and people's hearts were open. quick.

People may not be aware of the achievements of Mr. Shen Ge, and think that it is of no importance to expel some crazy people. Little do they know that this action is actually to stabilize the country and stabilize the people's hearts, and its achievements are not simple. We should recognize his extraordinary achievements and respect his incomparable virtues! "

Shen Yiguan smiled and said: "It seems that the atmosphere in the capital has indeed improved a lot in the past few months."

His master also took the opportunity to praise and said: "This is Mr. Ge's virtuous policy. Nowadays, those who want to go to the Huajie wine shop have to go out of the city to Guanxiang to look for them, and they have to do it secretly."

Although Shen Yiguan is a smooth man, he is very insistent on self-discipline. After all, this gentleman is someone who can even trick his own son for his own good reputation. He heard this and nodded and said: "This is how we should punish those who are not responsible. Guy!"

Wang Wenlong's flattery at the beginning of this letter was spot on, and Shen Guanyi was somewhat looking forward to the next content. He was a little curious as to what Wang Wenlong wanted to ask him to do by flattering him like this.

"Keep reading." Shen Yiguan said with a smile. The master glanced at the next content, but his expression changed slightly.

"Sir, what Wang Wenlong writes next is a bit..."

Seeing him like this, Shen Guanyi's smile faded a little and said, "Just read it."

"Yes..." Master nodded and swallowed, and could only continue to read: "However, although Ming Gong has done good things, has he not done anything wrong in recent days? And this mistake will definitely bring great consequences to Ming Gong. Disaster is coming. A big disaster is imminent, and I have to write a letter to warn the police immediately!"

Listening to Wang Wenlong's turning point, Shen Yiguan's cheerful expression gradually darkened.
