Chapter 369: I want to form a gang

Su Mai knew Zhao Xing's temper. Zhao Xing's respect for his father moved him, but it was not right for Zhao Xing to vent his anger on Pan Dalin. He jumped up and pressed Zhao Xing's hand, and persuaded him: "Don't blame Brother Pan for being separated. His father is weak, how can he blame others?"

If Zhao Xing gets angry, Su Mai can't suppress it. Seeing that the momentum is wrong, Shuai Fan jumped up and hugged Zhao Xing, shouting: "It's not about Old Pan Bin's business. Grandmaster, don't be angry randomly - calm down, calm down! Don't make big jokes."

Zhao Xing was still angry: "Where is Mi Fu?"

Qian Shixiong, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly and explained: "I escaped. After Mr. Po passed away, Mr. Mi said, "You must not let him go." It just so happened that the Japanese Daobubububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububu

Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said, "He thought he had fled to Japan, so I couldn't catch him?"

The coach Fan Suishi let go of Zhao Xing and continued to persuade: "It's not about Mr. Mi's business. Grand Marshal, calm down. The news of Mr. Po's death must be reported to the court as soon as possible."

In the original history, Su Dongpo was demoted to Lingnan, returned to pardon, and temporarily lived in the village. Although the court planned to let him serve as the Minister of Rites, he did not perform his duties, so he was considered a commoner. The children were all born in the past, and only Su Mai served as a small county magistrate. Therefore, Su Shi's funeral level was very low, and only Su Shi's friends came to pay their respects.

A generation of Wenzong passed away so miserably, it is sad to think about it - as historical records tell this, the entire Song Dynasty was embarrassed behind the scenes.

But now, with Zhao Xing coming forward, history is completely different.

In normal history, Zhu Xie, a small businessman, can be called the "small court in the southeast". Compared with Zhu Xie, Zhao Xing could not catch up with the "No. 1 warlord of the Song Dynasty".

To talk about Zhao Xing's current official position, if you want to find examples in history, only Li Hongzhang, who formed the Beiyang Navy Office in the Qing Dynasty, could compare with him. The tariffs in the southern part of the Song Dynasty were all in his hands. In addition, he also had a huge fleet that was no less than the Beiyang Navy, which required people and guns.

If these are nothing, then there is another aspect that forces people to come and flatter: Changzhou belongs to Liangzhe Road, and there are only a few prefectures and counties in total. The five prefectures in Linhai are all in the hands of Zhao Xing, plus Guangdong, Guangxi and the entire route of Fujian. Zhao Xing is the main appointment and removal of officials in these local areas. Now Zhao Xing is in Changzhou with his appointment, and his yamen is still an empty shell. Current officials, candidate officials, those who have fame and fortune and no fame usually have no excuses to come and curry favor with them. Now, we are here to pay tribute to the generation of Wenzong and exchange greetings. Where can we find such a good opportunity?

So, news of Su Dongpo's death spread. The mourning people lined up, from Changzhou to Hangzhou, and even Huangzhou was not spared. In an instant, all the roads were crowds rushing towards Changzhou.

Countless people rushed from all over the world. They visited in the name of mourning, and the funeral became increasingly popular. Later, half of Changzhou City became a place of mourning. But this scene was not over yet. Later, Japan and Goryeo also sent people to pay their respects. The two princes of Jiaozhi who had paid tribute in the capital also heard the news. On the one hand, they wanted to ease their relationship with Zhao Xing. On the other hand, they really admired Su Dongpo's talent, so they turned a corner on the way back to China and rushed to Changzhou to pay their respects.

In May, Empress Dowager Xiang passed away, which also means that the little emperor has no longer had a tight curse. He began to thoroughly and completely grasp the affairs of the Song Dynasty.

In mid-May, the little emperor in the capital received a mourning message from Zhao Xing. Others did not give others face. Zhao Xing had to give face, so the reward after Su Shi's death was more abundant than in history. At this time, although Su Shi was rehabilitated, his articles continued the ban from Zhang Dun's era. The little emperor completely lifted Su Shi's articles with a big stroke - a year earlier than Su Shi's articles lifted in history.

Not only that, the little emperor also sent Huang Tingjian, who had just arrived in the capital, and Zhang Lei, as a mourning envoy, to Changzhou on behalf of the court to pay condolences. On the way, Huang Tingjian informed the other brothers. As a result, when they arrived in Changzhou, the six gentlemen of Sumen, plus Zhao Xing's additional incident, gathered together in Changzhou.

The only regret is that after Zhao Xing's wife Cheng Azhu returned from the capital, she went to Huangzhou to visit her relatives. Therefore, during the funeral, the family of Su's disciples was short of his wife and children.

After many years of separation, Chen Shidao and Li Xiao still did not pass the imperial examination. Chen Shidao still looked like a hard-working poet. Li Xiao was originally a vibrant young man, but now he is starting to feel a little down. However, because these two people did not pass the imperial examination, they escaped the persecution of Su Shi and Su's disciples by the court. This may be the luck of these two, but perhaps it is unfortunate.

The so-called "unfortunate" is because history has gone wrong here. In the original history, the four Sumen scholars died one by one on the road to exile, while Chen and Li still survived because they did not become officials.

But now due to Zhao Xing's protection, the four Sumen scholars spent a period of study behind closed doors in Guangdong. Therefore, the poetry achievements they have created are far more brilliant than normal history. With the support of Zhao Xing, they published one book by one, and their works involved many aspects. As a result, scholars at that time called the four "Huang Zhang Chao Qin" the other, Zhao Xing, and Li Zhiyi and Liao Zhengyi, the two "Four Bachelors of the Later Sumen" whom they followed, together with Zhao Xing, were called "Seven Bachelors of the Sumen". Chen Shidao and Li Xiao were obscured and were excluded from the direct lineage of the Sumen.

At this moment, the brothers gathered together and died as the teacher, Chen and Li felt ashamed. The brothers who had gathered in the capital, the others followed the teacher to Guangdong without regrets. They stayed behind to continue to enjoy life. As a result, they could only look up to the demeanor of the previous few people, and this love made them regret it.

When Zhao Xing saw Chen and Li again, he recalled the past and felt sad, but after the sadness, life had to continue. Now that the brothers and brothers are gathered, Zhao Xing began to plan the funeral.

"The teacher was open-minded in life, but now it seems that it was this open-mindedness that hurt him - as the leader of the Shu Party, the teacher was easily rushed to a poor and deserted place in the south. This should not be done," Zhao Xing said gritting his teeth.

After hearing this, Huang Tingjian quickly raised a finger to persuade him to stop.

They said this in the lounge behind the mourning hall. Su Shi's death was over the first seven years, and his body had been buried, so there was no coffin in the mourning hall, but only Li Gonglin and Zhang Zeduan hung several portraits of Su Shi's paintings in the hall. At this time, in the mourning hall, the emperor sent a mourning eunuch to serve the mourners to burn incense, and the filial son Su Mai was accompanying him. Yuan Yeping took action for Su Mai. At the same time, Shuai Fan led Zhao Xing's servants to serve the reception work.

"We need to form a clique and form a closer organization." Zhao Xing ignored Huang Tingjian's dissuasion and continued to speak.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that liked to form cliques. It is said that the habit of forming cliques was advocated by Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan. Therefore, the Song people were not ashamed of forming cliques.

"Now the teacher has passed away. The Shu Party has been destroyed, but as the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials, and we must form a new party," Zhao Xing continued.

The kind-hearted Huang Tingjian frequently persuaded him with his eyes. But Zhao Xing was full of anger. Today, the brothers and brothers were all there, and the words in his belly poured out like a water tap: "To put it, we are most qualified to form a clan. We have accumulated in Guangdong for several years. We need disciples and disciples, territories and territory, money, grain, and army, so we are most qualified to form a clan.

People call me "can't be provoked", and I put on a "can't be provoked". So people in the world usually dare not provoke me. This inspired me. When I was in the capital, I had figured it out that I wanted to form a party. Although I left Guangzhou, the impact was still there. I have asked Guangdong merchants to build a Guangnan Association in the capital. In the future, Guangnan students will go to Beijing to take the exam. All of them will be supported by my Guangnan School, free food and accommodation, free reading territory, and free escorts into the examination room... In this way, after these students pass the exam, it is difficult for us to admit that it is our party.

I just want to mark them with a party mark. In recent years, we have promoted new learning in Guangnan. We have completed a complete academic system in six or seven years - the perfection and rigor of this system is, I dare say that the Song Dynasty is the same; through free scholarship assistance, we have also cultivated tens of thousands of scholars in Guangnan. Regarding the number of students in the school, I dare say that the Song Dynasty is the same...

This is the opportunity given to us by God. At that time, the Supreme Master only cultivated 72 disciples and was praised by the world. We have been in Guangnan for many years, and have not only trained 72,000 scholars! If God gives you, you will be punished by heaven. Therefore, it is natural for us to form a party. On the other hand, we have already done this. Even if we do not form a party, others will regard us as a party. Therefore, I decided to introduce organizational management into party management.

My plan is like this. In the capital, I plan to recommend Brother Huang (Huang) Lu Zhi and Brother Wen Qian (Zhang Lei) to the throne. One of the new official positions is the censorship doctor and the other is the editor of Tianzhang Pavilion. Now that Su Sanzhang is old, we urgently need the next generation of successors. At present, Chen Guan is old, and after him, Zuo Zhengyan should be controlled by our party, and I am sure to win this official position.

In addition, I have three roads under my name, plus five states in Liangzhe Road. Several senior brothers have disciples who need experience. They can directly recommend them. These three roads and five states are to become the training base for local officials of our party..."

Huang Tingjian pondered for a moment, pointed to Qin Guan next to him and said, "I don't care about others, but Brother Shaoyou is better not to go to the capital. I'm worried that he will be safer to keep it next to his junior brother."

Huang Tingjian affirmed Zhao Xing's idea of ​​forming a party. Qin Guan wanted to defend himself. Zhao Xing waved his hand and said without hesitation: "I have reported to Your Majesty and are ready to take down Xiuzhou again. Xiuzhou is at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Our Nanyang Navy must control the estuary of the Yangtze River. After Your Majesty gives a reply, Brother Shaoyou can serve as the governor of Xiuzhou.

In addition, there is a Huating County (now Shanghai) in Xiuzhou. I plan to open a Maritime Warehouse Department there, and the candidate is... "

Zhao Xing looked at Chao Buzhi and asked: "Brother Chao should not go to the capital, stay in Xiuzhou, and serve as the Huating Maritime Mansion Commander."

Qin Guan was greedy for the prosperity of the capital and was reluctant to give up the position of the presidency, so he was unwilling to let Huang Tingjian stop him. However, Chao Buzhi was an official, and after his exile, he was already bored with the intrigues in the court. Huating was not far from Hangzhou, so he was reluctant to be an official near his hometown. When he heard Zhao Xing's words, he asked happily: "How sure are you sure of taking Xiuzhou?"

Zhao Xing chuckled: "Xiuzhou is not a wealthy county. Such a river beach is still facing the sea. The government gave me a gift to me to make money for him, which was a plea... Brother Chao just prepares, and I think the court will hear the news soon."

Chen Shidao shook his head and interrupted: "The state's method of employing people is not allowed to be a good official if he is not a Jinshi. I am a tribute scholar like this, but I can only serve as an official unless I go to the place where I am a shooting. However, the teacher's experience has made me despair about Lingnan... I will still go home and study hard. One day, I will pass the imperial examination and come to find my brother to seek an official."

Zhang Lei is not polite. He squinted his eyes, his fat round face was full of smiles, and his fat body was trembling: "Li Ren said this, I'm not polite. There are a few disciples under my sect who have passed the Jinshi, and you have few county officials in your prefectures and counties. I'll give you a list. However, the experience of Yuanyou's demotion was placed in front of him, and I'm afraid they don't want to go to Lingnan, so they have to arrange it, and they will arrange it on Liangzhe Road and Fujian."

Zhang Lei asked for an official position for his disciples. Huang Tingjian hesitated a little and answered with the opportunity: "There are several Jinshis under my name that need to be arranged. I will give you the list in retrospect."

Zhao Xing then turned to Chen Shidao, Li Li: "Next year is Changke. Liang Shicheng in the palace patted me with his chest. Make sure to reveal the test questions to me in advance. You two go to Beijing for scientific examinations, so you might as well live in Ma Mengde, and you will get unexpected gains!"

Chen Shidao, Li Yi's eyes lit up and he quickly replied: "I know, thank you for your concern."

Qin Guan muttered dissatisfiedly: "When I returned to the Central Plains, Mao Pang was very flattering to the people, and I didn't have many disciples. Can Liren also arrange Mao Pang in Xiuzhou?"

Mao Pang was also a flatterer. He and Qin Guan jointly compiled "The West Chamber" and became the founder of Chinese drama. However, when Su Shi was in power, he flattered Su Shi, and when Zhang Dun was in power, he wrote poems to praise Zhang Dun. Since then, Cai Jing has written more than ten poems to praise him. Qin Guan is a good man, and Zhao Xing endured it. Thinking that Mao Pang and Qin Guan are the same smell, they can go to Xiuzhou and contribute to the development of Chinese drama together. He asked for permission.

However, Qin Guan's words showed that he still did not change his habit of speaking without thinking. Mao Pang is now the magistrate of Gaoyou Army. This is an official title at the level of the prefecture. The only official position of the Huating Maritime Warehouse Commander is Huating Maritime Warehouse Commander. Zhao Xing just made it clear that he had left it to Chao Buzhi. After he said this, where did Chao Buzhi be placed?

"That flattery... Since you want to be with him, why don't I change the place for you and go to Mingzhou. He is the commander of Mingzhou and you are the governor of Mingzhou, how about it?"

Qin Guan nodded: "Mingzhou is better. I have nothing to do. I can come to Hangzhou to play with you."

Huang Tingjian cursed: "I just know how to play."

Zhao Xing continued: "There are still tribute students under my senior brothers who have passed the exam. I plan to open academies in Hangzhou according to the Guangnan examples, and promote the theory of "integration of knowledge and action"..."

Speaking of this, Huang Tingjian said: "The saying of 'integration of knowledge and action' is good. What you said in Guangnan is too shocking. It is better to eliminate some things and use the theory of 'integration of knowledge and action' as the basis and establish your own school, so that you can make great progress in the world."

Zhao Xingshungan crawled and replied: "The teacher passed away. Brother Huang is the leader of the teacher. Brother Huang will come forward to sort it out and summarize a rigorous theory to promote the world."

The establishment of a sect was a temptation for the disciples. Huang Tingjian agreed very happily, and Zhang Lei was eager to try: "I am idle in the capital, and I can discuss it with Brother Huang."

Zhao Xing thought for a while and said, "Integration of knowledge and action will inevitably lead to endless inventions and creations - I plan to call on the students who go out of the academy to sponsor the academy, and they can sponsor some of the money to "foster reading seeds" or give some shares to the academy. And I came forward to organize the students who graduated from the academy to form a party, help them start businesses and become officials, protect their creativity, and sell their goods by the way.

In this way, our party will have legal additional benefits... Well, the pioneers of the school here will naturally enjoy a subsidy. The two senior brothers can use this subsidy to form a gang in the capital, and we must form a close and united team. In the future, whoever wants to move us and want to distribute our party members at will will have to face the common hatred of the whole party."

Chen Shidao, Li Xiao couldn't sit still when he heard this. Li Xiao was so straightforward that he first patted his thigh and said, "I heard that Hangzhou Wanjuantang has a close relationship with Li Ren. Li Ren collected more than 10,000 books at his home in Hangzhou. After the teacher's funeral, it's not a big deal for me to go home to study hard. Why not help me. How about preparing for that academy?"

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and said with a smile: "It's great - I plan to name that academy to be 'Wansong Academy', which is located opposite Baochu Tower (Leifeng Tower). The scenery is very good. If you have a senior brother working hard, I can feel much more relaxed."

Chen Shidao changed his mind and remembered that Zhao Xing could guarantee the next year's imperial examination questions, and had the test questions in hand. Is it necessary to study hard behind closed doors? He immediately patted his chest: "I'll go with you, after the teacher's funeral, I'll go with you to Hangzhou to prepare for Wansong Academy together."

Zhao Xing pondered and continued: "The new school focuses on the integration of knowledge and action, and also teaches students the reasoning and derivation methods... Why not call the new school 'intellectual learning'? "

Huang Tingjian was still unsatisfied. He pointed to the teacher's mourning hall and said, "We should follow the teacher's knowledge and articles. In this Wansong Academy, we also need to teach the teacher's teachings."

Zhao Xing nodded: "I have sent someone to Japan. I will ship the teacher's book copybooks and reprint them. In addition, I will also revise the teacher's inscriptions "Quaizai Pavilion" and "Yueyang Tower Notes"..."

After a moment of pause, Zhao Xing smiled viciously again. Added: "Wansong Academy will also erect a Yuanyou Party Monument to paint the names of all the persecuted people red, so that future generations can see what a dark era we have experienced and make them wary... Unfortunately, there is no name on the Yuanyou Party Monument... I don't care. This time I want my name to be attached to the Yuanyou Party Monument to let them know what the world wants."

Qin Guan was in a bad mood just now, and now he heard Zhao Xing's suggestion. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and fanned the flames: "I must draw the red - Liren set up a local Yuanyou Party monument in Guangnan. Anyone who demoted officials would draw the name red, and the same is true in Hangzhou. We and Su Gong should draw the name red, and stand on Piaotian Wen. In addition, I am also interested in Lu Dafang's "Lantian Convention" and plan to promote the "Lantian Convention" in the five prefectures under Liangzhe Road. We might as well list these people's and land names in our party."

Qin Guan exclaimed: "In this way, it is difficult for us to get closer to Guan Xue and Luo Xue."

The conspiracy behind the mourning hall fermented amid the discussion of everyone. Later, the servant's notice interrupted the conspiracy - Li Zhiyi and Li Gefei came to pay his respects.

Although these two people have a close relationship with Zhao Xing, they have not yet reached the point of being able to conspire together. Several brothers immediately dispersed, leaving only Huang Tingjian and Qin Guan to accompany Zhao Xing to receive him.

Li Gefei did not bring Li Qingzhao, and Li Zhiyi was also single. After Su Shi's eldest son Su Mai accompanied them to celebrate the incense, Huang Tingjian accompanied them to offer sacrifices. The two met Zhao Xing in the back hall. As soon as Li Gefei met, he explained: "Qingzhao is still young, and such a funeral is not suitable for me to come forward. I will leave her in Hangzhou."

Zhao Xing shook his head and said he didn't mind. He looked at the two Lis and asked, "Has Wan Qi Yong set off?"

The only group of Israelites under Zhao Xing were used to being in Guangzhou. They had been displaced and lived in poorer places than Guangzhou. In Guangzhou, because Zhao Xing laid the foundation for the land, they were particularly respected. Therefore, after receiving the news of the amnesty of the court, the rest of Guangnan officials could no longer sit still and set off their clothes to return to the Central Plains. The only Israelites planned to take root.

Zhao Xing originally wanted to keep one of Li Zhiyi and Li Gefei in Guangdong and take over as the transshipment envoy, but both of them were clamoring to return to their hometown. Li Gefei had completely resigned and planned to stay in Suzhou to spend his old age, while Li Zhiyi was transferred to Sichuan Prefecture - this is where his brother Li Zhichun once served as a local official. Except for the second Li, Liao Zhengyi did not plan to stay. He entered the court with Zhao Xing's recommendation. With his qualifications in Guangnan in recent years, he became a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue and worked under Su Che.

Li Zhiyi and Li Gefei left Guangnan before Wanqiyong. When Zhao Xing asked about this topic, Li Zhiyi was a little embarrassed. Because Li Gefei was a relative of his children and Zhao Xing, he spoke casually. He answered easily: "When we set off, Wan Qiyong was still waiting for the resumption of his responsibilities. I heard that no one wants to go to Guangnan yet. If there are anyone in your bag, hurry up and come back for Wanqiyong."
