Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 73

(PS: In the new July, bow and beg for monthly ticket support.)
"Master Qian... oh, I forgot that you have been stripped of your military status - now you should be called Master Qian, what advice do you have?" Facing Qian Qianyi who came to kill him aggressively, Young Master Zhang didn't panic, let alone rush, but was polite. He clasped his fists in agreement, and at the same time muttered viciously in his heart, "You traitor, if I don't let Donglin students throw you into the river today, my visit to Donglin Academy today will be in vain!"

"Zhang Haogu, you..." Seeing the confident smile on Young Master Zhang's disgustingly handsome face, Qian Qianyi subconsciously felt that the situation was not very good, but unfortunately his shout just now had already shaken the audience The eyes of the student Shilin were attracted to him, and thousands of eyes were fixed on him. Even if Qian Qianyi wanted to take back his words, it was too late, so he could only bite the bullet and curse: "Zhang Haogu, you shameless villain, you are a despicable person!" Disciple, stop pretending here! Donglin Academy doesn’t welcome you, get out!”

"Ha! Master Qian Qianyi, you have finally stood up—I have been waiting for you for a long time." Young Master Zhang laughed, and pulled out Tang Bohu's erotic painting fan from his sleeve, shaking it coquettishly, and sat back in a grandiose manner. Sitting on the chair in the center of the Zhengxin Pavilion in the Donglin Holy Land, he said with a contemptuous smile: "But Lord Qian, you really disappointed me. Last time in the Golden Luan Hall, you framed the number one scholar Liu Ruozai for no reason and was exposed by me, and then again by me. Reversely participated in one book, but was dismissed from office and dismissed by the imperial staff. After returning to your hometown, you still haven’t learned your lesson, and still come to slander and slander this official, you really don’t know how to write dead words.”

"Oh!" There were countless boos from the crowd, and most of the Donglin students and Jiangnan literati rolled their eyes at Qian Qianyi.When Qian Qianyi was told about the most scandalous thing in his life by Young Master Zhang, his old face turned red immediately, and he hurriedly yelled: "Shameless bastard, don't deceive people with sweet words here, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me, Qian Qianyi!"

"Oh, Mr. Qian, you are really haunted. Well, for the sake of your persistence, I will show mercy and give you another chance to argue with you." Young Master Zhang slapped you very contemptuously. Yawning, he knocked on Erlang's legs, and said lazily: "Say it, you call me a shameless rat, a despicable villain, where is my despicableness? Where is my shamelessness? Also, you said that this official is a deceitful rhetoric. Did the official say that again, is it a rhetoric?"

"You...you!" Qian Qianyi was furious at Young Master Zhang's tired and lazy appearance, and opened his mouth to curse. Fortunately, Ye Xianggao called out in time: "Master Qian, Donglin Holy Land, Don’t hurt people with bad words, and say what you have to say. Master Zhang, although you are an imperial envoy, Donglin Academy is a place for literati to give lectures, not your imperial envoy’s yamen, so please put the emphasis on it.” Ye Xianggao said As soon as he reminded him mildly, Qian Qianyi broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he almost fell into the trick of Young Master Zhang again.And Young Master Zhang knew that Ye Xianggao was secretly helping Qian Qianyi, but he had to sit up straight, and at the same time he was alert, knowing that Qian Qianyi would definitely not be the only opponent in this final verbal battle.

"Zhang Haogu, you shameless and vulgar villain." Qian Qianyi tried to calm himself down and accused him carefully: "In order to get promoted and get rich, you even worship Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch eunuch, as your godfather, and treat him in every possible way." Flattery, all kinds of flattery, sharpened your head and drilled upwards, if a shameless villain like you is allowed to ascend to a high position, will the people of the world have a good life?"

"Woo--." Jiangnan scholars and Donglin students booed again, and they all sneered at Qian Qianyi's unreasonable and unreasonable accusations, and Qian Qianyi's relatives were all peeping at each other, and they really didn't understand the usual How did Qian Qianyi, who is so elegant and elegant, become so useless.Only Qian Qianyi is suffering and can't tell, because Qian Qianyi knows very well that the stereotyped poems he is good at have too many ambiguities, and if he is not careful, he may be caught by Young Master Zhang. On the contrary, it is not as safe as vernacular—— —For example, his last sentence of slavery was interpreted by Young Master Zhang as betraying the country and seeking glory, cursing Ming Xizong to be captured by Nuerhachi as a slave, so Qian Qianyi said nothing this time Dare to make the same mistake again.

"Oh, Mr. Qian, it seems that not only your character is getting worse, but your speaking skills are also getting worse." Young Master Zhang also laughed and said loudly: "How long is Jiuqian this year? Five Seven out of ten! This official's Jiayan is fifty-two this year, and he is five years younger than Jiuqian, so Jiuqian is also considered as my uncle's generation. Why should I not recognize him as my father? No? Also, you said that this official flattered Jiu Qiantui in every possible way, how could I flatter Jiu Qiantui? Showing up at Donglin Academy and rushing up to kowtow seventeen or eight miles away, is this considered flattery or flattery?"

"Hahahaha..." Many people had witnessed Qian Qianyi's wonderful performance in front of Ye Xianggao this morning, and naturally they couldn't help laughing out of such an exaggerated description by Young Master Zhang.And old Qian Qianyi blushed, and quickly said, "I'm showing respect to Ye Ge." Young Master Zhang immediately said, "Then I'm just showing filial piety to Nine Thousand Years! , Mr. Qian respects the teacher and I respect the relatives, I seem to be better than you."

"Hahahahaha..." The Jiangnan scholar laughed even louder.Qian Qianyi's face was flushed, and Ye Xianggao also looked a little uncomfortable, secretly scolding Qian Qianyi for being incompetent.At this time, Gao Panlong, the current director of Donglin Academy, stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhang, you recognize Nine Thousand Years as your father. This is your private matter, and we really have no right to intervene. But there is one thing I don't know. Master Zhang please advise."

"Master Gao, please speak, Wansheng is all ears." Young Master Zhang said lightly, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart - because Young Master Zhang's thief eyes clearly saw that Gao Panlong had exchanged glances with Ye Xianggao first. I just opened my mouth.Gao Panlong said calmly: "Master Zhang, do you still remember that on April 25th this year, you were ordered to retry the case of Xiong Tingbi, exonerated Xiong Tingbi from death, and sentenced Wang Huazhen, the former governor of Liaodong, to execution. For this verdict, Everyone in the capital clapped their hands and applauded—but as far as I know, the relationship between you and Xiong Tingbi, Mr. Zhang, seems to be unusual. There are rumors among the people that Mr. Zhang is actually Xiong Tingbi’s son-in-law. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Woo--." Finally, there were hisses against Master Zhang among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone muttered in their hearts. If this is true, Zhang Haogu's son-in-law interrogated his father-in-law and exonerated his father-in-law, it would be too weird Words are too much.And Young Master Zhang was also very forthright, and replied loudly: "Yes, Mr. Gao, you are right. Mr. Xiong Tingbi's beloved daughter, Xiong Hu, is indeed my official wife who has never been married!"

"Woo—!" The crowd was disturbed again, and Zhang Qing, who was disguised and mixed in the crowd, was so angry that his face was blue, and he stared at Young Master Zhang's expression, as if he wanted to tear Young Master Zhang into pieces.Gao Panlong and the others were both surprised and delighted. They never imagined that Young Master Zhang would admit it so readily, so that the evidence they had spent countless painstaking efforts to obtain was useless, and Qian Qianyi couldn't wait to jump out. He shouted loudly: "Okay, just admit it! According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if the presiding judge's relatives commit a crime, the presiding judge should voluntarily withdraw from the trial to avoid covering up. As Xiong Tingbi's son-in-law, you deliberately concealed it and did not report it. Xiong Tingbi was exonerated and spared death! I want to join you, and I want to unite all the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River to join you!"

"Master Qian, don't be too happy." Young Master Zhang laughed and said loudly: "I admit that I am Xiong Tingbi's son-in-law, but Xiong Tingbi never recognizes me as a son-in-law, and his daughter Xiong Hu never Didn't make a marriage agreement with me, and even left me alone in the capital, and followed her father back to Jiangxia's hometown, so Xiong Tingbi and I are relatives of that family?"

"Master Zhang, why do you say that you are the son-in-law of Master Xiong?" A young Donglin student asked curiously.Young Master Zhang smiled wryly, and replied: "No way, it's love at first sight, and I fell in love. Although Master Xiong's daughter has ruthlessly abandoned me, I have already sworn that she will not marry her in this life, so Master Xiong can deny me as a son-in-law." , but I recognize him as my father-in-law."

"Hahahaha..." The young Donglin students and Jiangnan scholars all laughed, and some people shouted: "Master Zhang, I can't see that you are still a kind of love. With your character and family background, no matter what you like That girl, are you afraid that her parents will not agree?"

"That's not necessarily true." Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "Don't Master Xiong despise me as a son-in-law? There is also Master Qian Qianyi, if he has a beautiful daughter who is just young and beautiful, and I propose to marry him like his daughter, I guess He will definitely not agree." Young Master Zhang's words were almost rascal, and the old masters present all frowned, but the younger generation laughed loudly, and became closer to Young Master Zhang.

"Zhang Haogu! The old man also has something to ask you!" The former Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao couldn't bear it anymore, stood up with a cane, and asked loudly: "Since you admit that you fell in love with Xiong Tingbi's daughter at first sight and vowed not to marry her, what are you doing?" When hearing Xiong Tingbi's case, did you ever think about deliberately offending Xiong Tingbi in order to please Xiong Tingbi's daughter?"

"Old Ye Ge, Wansheng has something to ask you!" Young Master Zhang said in a louder voice than Ye Xianggao, "During the first trial of Xiong Tingbi's case, you were the chief assistant of the imperial court, and Wang Huazhen was your protégé. In order to save his own face, deliberately exonerate Wang Huazhen? And give Xiong Tingbi a heavy sentence?"

The venue, which had been noisy for a long time, became quiet again, almost silent.Ye Xianggao, who was sophisticated in the world, remained calm and replied indifferently: "Wang Huazhen is the old man's protégé, but in the first trial of Xiong Tingbi's case, the old man never participated in the trial in order to avoid suspicion. , They were all submitted to the second assistant, Mr. Han Yu and Han Ge—unlike you, who is directly the presiding officer of the retrial of Xiong Tingbi's case."

"Isn't Han Yu a member of your Donglin party?" Young Master Zhang sneered in his heart, and laughed even louder on his mouth, "Yes, yes, Mr. Ye Ge, you have avoided suspicion, indeed you have avoided suspicion, but you have avoided it too much Alright! But Mr. Yege, don’t forget that my godfather, Zhang Haogu, is in charge of Dongchang—what is Dongchang? It’s a yamen for the emperor to supervise all officials! Mr. Yege, are you Veteran ministers of the three dynasties are highly respected, so they should be very aware of this weight, right?"

Ye Xianggao remained calm, but there were fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, while Young Master Zhang was smiling, his thief eyes were like two cold electricity, staring at Ye Xianggao's eyes firmly, making Ye Xianggao flustered , exclaimed in his heart, "How many secrets does this kid know about the old man? No, only Han Yu knows what happened back then. Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Ji and the others only received hints from the old man, and didn't put them into words? Could it be? Is it Han Yu who betrayed the old man? Impossible, Han Yu is the old man’s colleague and friend for many years, he is not afraid to pull out the carrot and bring out the mud? Or, in order to make a comeback, Han Yu also took refuge in Wei Zhongxian? Impossible, impossible! Zhang Hao Gu must be scaring the old man, even if he has Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang as his backer, he can't catch the old man! Yes, he must be scaring the old man!"

Even so, Ye Xianggao swallowed the words forcibly - after all, Ye Xianggao is already in his sixties, with a wealth of money and a full house of children and grandchildren, he really dare not take the whole family for the sake of a student who deserves what he deserves. Fugui gambled with his own evening festival, otherwise, if Young Master Zhang really showed any evidence in public, then Ye Xianggao would be ruined immediately, and his children and grandchildren would also be implicated.At the same time, Ye Xianggao also analyzed in his heart, "Since Zhang Haogu dares to say that, then he must be sure of it, and this kid did everything in the retrial of Xiong Tingbi's case without leaking any leaks, since he dared to do so today If you say it, you must have obtained some real evidence. Besides, the parties involved in the past Han Yu, Zou Yuanbiao, and Wang Ji are still alive, and even Wang Huazhen is still alive and imprisoned in the sky prison. No matter who leaks a word, the old man can It's really over."

After repeated weighing and calculation for a long time, Ye Xianggao, who has a big family and a great career, finally lost in the psychological warfare and gave up his plan to seek justice for his student Wang Huazhen.In the end, Ye Xianggao gritted his teeth, forced a smile and said, "Master Zhang, you have misunderstood. This old man did not accuse you of protecting Xiong Tingbi. In fact, this old man is very grateful to you. To tell you the truth, when Xiong Tingbi's case was first heard, this old man I feel that Xiong Tingbi's sentence is too heavy and Wang Huazhen's sentence is too light, but I can't express my opinion because of my status. Thanks to Zhang Tanhua, you retrial the case and restored the innocence of Xiong Tingbi and Master Xiong. I am very grateful. The old man also heard that Zhang Tanhua had never met Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen before the retrial of Xiong Tingbi's case, it is fair, fair."

"Hehe." Young Master Zhang also smiled happily: "Master Ye, you don't have to be polite. In fact, Dongchang also discovered through reconnaissance that you, Mr. Ye, also took the initiative to avoid suspicion during the first trial of the Xiong Tingbi case. You never interfered in the trial of the case as the chief assistant. Everyone is full of praise for you, Mr. Ye Ge, for your righteousness to kill relatives, and Wansheng also admires you very much, Mr. Ye Ge." After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhang added in his stomach, "I'm telling the truth this time, if I have The evidence of your intervention in Xiong Tingbi's case has long been released to avenge the father-in-law—it's a pity that you have a guilty conscience, and I can't blame you for that."

"Tanhualang is too much for the prize. This is what I should do. This old man has taught students like Ye Xianggao." Ye Xianggao smiled wryly, ready to withdraw from the verbal war in frustration.Young Master Zhang hurriedly said: "Old Ye Ge, there is still something unclear about Wansheng, please give me some advice. The retrial of Xiong Tingbi's case was on April 25th, which is only over a month away. You are in Fujian, how can you be like this?" Find out quickly? Could it be that someone reported to Elder Ge? If this is the case, then Elder Ge will have to severely punish the person who reported it?"

"What do you mean by Tan Hualang's words?" Ye Xianggao froze for a moment.Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "Old Man Ge, you are a veteran of the Ming Dynasty. Can't you see the evil intentions hidden by this person? You have nothing to do with Wang Huazhen's case, but this person sent the news in a hurry. For Mr. Ge, does he want to induce Mr. Ge to intervene and trap Mr. Ge in an unjust place? Mr. Ye Ge, you are highly respected, and evening festivals are more important than anything else. It’s not fair, even though it’s selfless, it’s also selfish, so once there is a censor to read a copy..., ha ha."

"Thank you Tanhualang for your kindness, I appreciate it." Ye Xianggao is a cunning old man, how could Young Master Zhang's tricks of sowing discord make him fall for him?But Qian Qianyi was far from Ye Xianggao's practice, and he was also flustered under his guilty conscience, for fear that Ye Xianggao would hate him because of it.Young Master Zhang watched his words and expressions, and shouted loudly: "Master Qian Qianyi, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you kowtow to Ye Ge to apologize?"

"Yes..." Qian Qianyi subconsciously wanted to kneel down to Ye Xianggao, but found that he almost fell into the trap of Young Master Zhang again, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Haogu, stop talking nonsense, when will I Have you tipped off Ye Ge?"

"Hehe, don't you be fooled? You've grown up a bit." Young Master Zhang smiled, closed the erotic fan, and signaled.Over there Zheng Yiguan and Shi Daxuan rushed out immediately, pointed at Qian Qianyi's nose and shouted: "Qian Qianyi, you despicable villain, what are you pretending? Ye Ge is so virtuous, You still have the heart to frame him? We really can't stand it anymore, you bribed us to assassinate the imperial envoy, we won't do it either!"

"You...you?" The pirate killer who had been bought with a lot of money suddenly turned his back on him, and Qian Qianyi was in a dizzy situation, not knowing what to do.And Zheng Yiguan, Shi Daxuan and his group turned to Zhengxin Pavilion, kowtowed to Young Master Zhang and shouted: "Master Zhang, let us tell the truth, the shopkeeper of Qian Qianyi Company bought us with two large ships and 2000 taels of silver, and asked us to assassinate him." You, we were confused for a moment, and we heard Qian Qianyi's shopkeeper say that you are the world's most corrupt official and the world's most dirty official, so we agreed to him and took a deposit of 2000 taels of silver from him! But we saw you with our own eyes today. What kind of good official is he, so we quit, we have to correct the evil and return to the right, and accuse Qian Qianyi of buying murder!"

"Qian Qianyi, you shameless villain!" Thousands of Donglin students and Jiangnan literati exploded, and the crowd was so excited that they flocked to Qian Qianyi like a tide.Qian Qianyi's face turned ashen, and he quickly distinguished: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, I don't know about it! It's my shopkeeper, it's my shopkeeper who did it, it's none of my business!"

"Throw him into the river!" I don't know it was the Dongchang fan who was disguised and hidden among the students. The Donglin students and Jiangnan scholars who were filled with righteous indignation immediately responded in groups, rushing to throw Qian Qianyi away. Lift it up, carry it to the bank of the Bow River, and throw it hard into the water of the Bow River.Seeing Qian Qianyi's distressed appearance rolling in the water of the Gong River, Young Master Zhang sneered in his heart, "A traitor, the water of the Gong River is colder than the water of the West Lake?"
