Chapter 270 The storm caused by the novel
"Uncle Yu Shi really said that?" Lin Mojun asked.
Su Ze recalled seeing Yu Dayou in the imperial prison, nodded and said: "Yu Shibo said that the anti-Japanese war in the southeast was a serious matter, and Hu Zongxian had to do it. He also hated Hu Zongxian, but for the sake of resisting the Japanese, Yu Shibo was willing to plead guilty." Yu Shibo said
. Zigao's face turned pale. Based on his understanding of his father, he knew that Yu Dayou would say such a thing.
When he was arrested, Yu Dayou also told Yu Zigao to serve the country and warned him not to do anything to humiliate the generals of the Yu family.
Yu Zigao clenched his fists, looked at Su Ze and said, "Ms. Su, can you let me see my father?"
Su Ze shook his head and said, "Yu Shibo also guessed that you were coming, and he asked you to return to Zhejiang to wait for you.
" Zigao's face turned red and he said with tears in his eyes: "Are we going to let dad bear the injustice? Fight against the Japanese! Fight against the Japanese! Fight against the Japanese!"
Su Ze said to Yu Zigao: "The capital Seriously, be careful what you say!"
Only then did Yu Zigao realize that he was getting excited. He covered his mouth and immediately shed tears again and said,
"Listen to my mother, my father has been in the military camp day and night since I was born. He often said The fight against the Japanese is a national event, and everyone has the responsibility. As long as we military attachés lead good soldiers and train them well, they will naturally be used by the court." "Later, my father was promoted, and he went
to Shandong and finally Zhejiang. From a young age, he fought against In the military camp, before he was arrested, he was still practicing the Yuanyang Formation, and told me that if this formation was promoted, the Japanese rebellion would be quelled, but why did it become like this?!" Su Ze patted Yu Zigao's back and said
: "Then let me ask you, do you want to save your father?"
Yu Zigao was stunned for a moment, wiped his tears and said, "My father is about to plead guilty, how can I save him?"
Su Ze sneered and said, "Now that it's happened. , can it be settled if Yu Shibo pleads guilty? His thinking is too naive."
Su Ze added: "Whether Yu Shibo is guilty or not, it doesn't matter whether he is guilty or not, it doesn't matter whether he is guilty or not, it doesn't matter what Hu Zongxian said, Jin Yiwei said It doesn't matter if he says it himself."
Yu Zigao looked at Su Ze doubtfully and asked, "Then who has the final say?"
Su Ze said expressionlessly: "The emperor has the final say."
Lin Mojun and Yu Zigao were both shocked. Su Ze looked at Yu Zigao and said, "If you believe me, then you will follow my instructions." "But I have to make it clear that if things come true, even
if It can wash away Yu Shibo's grievances, but he cannot tolerate Hu Zongxian, let alone Qingliu. The best outcome for you and your son is that they will no longer participate in the anti-Japanese war. Have you thought clearly?" Yu Zigao cupped his hands and said
, He made a military salute and said, "It all depends on you, sir!"
"In that case, then you must obey my instructions and don't go out for the next few days."
Su Ze said to Lin Mojun again: "Lin Baihu, buy some for me. Bring me pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then find a few bookshops in the capital that are engraving and printing books." On the
25th of the twelfth lunar month, most of the yamen in the capital have entered the fishing stage waiting for the New Year.
For example, yamen like the Hanlin Academy, which are relatively quiet on weekdays, have begun to work half shifts. Zhang Juzheng, a non-hazardous position, can fish all day long.
Gao Gong is still relatively hard-working. Although royal lectures have winter and summer vacations, King Yu was not trained as a prince since he was a child, so he did not receive lectures from the cabinet when he was a child.
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, except for the crown prince who can study, ordinary princes do not need to study.
Of course, this does not mean that these princes are illiterate, but that only the crown prince can receive the teachings of the lecturers selected by the Hanlin Academy to cultivate the ability to govern the country from an early age.
King Yu was not the prince before. After the prince passed away, King Yu was appointed by Emperor Jiajing and Gao Gong came to give lectures.
King Yu was born in the 16th year of Jiajing's reign, and the former prince died in the 28th year of Jiajing's reign. That is to say, King Yu did not start studying in the imperial court until he was 12 years old.
A normal prince would start studying at the age of seven.
Therefore, King Yu was very diligent and did not rest even in the twelfth lunar month. He still asked Gao Gong to continue teaching.
But after today's morning talk, King Yu gave Gao Gong a New Year's gift and finally gave him a holiday.
Zhang Juzheng was rushing home when he suddenly saw many people gathered around the bookstore on the corner.
This is the bookstore he often goes to. Are there any other best-selling books published?
Zhang Juzheng became interested and asked the boy accompanying him to squeeze into the crowd. After a while, the boy grabbed a book and came out.
""The Complete Biography of Yue"? Su Rulin's new work? So soon?"
Zhang Juzheng looked at the new book in his hand in surprise, and could still smell the fragrance of ink.
Zhang Juzheng hurried home, locked himself in the study and started reading.
This "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" is a vernacular novel, written in vernacular that ordinary people can understand.
However, unlike the Qing Dynasty novel with a touch of gods and demons, the first part of Su Ze's "The Complete Biography of Yue Fei" is the story of Yue Fei's business venture, which makes people excited to read it.
But in the second half, Su Ze wrote that Yue Fei was framed by the treacherous minister Qin Hui, was punished with twelve gold medals, and then killed on trumped-up charges.
Su Ze also downplayed Song Gaozong's part in the book, mainly describing the plot of the traitor Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei.
The Yue family army that Yue Fei had trained so hard was dismembered, and there was no hope for the cause of fighting against the Jin Dynasty.
The impassioned and high-spirited first half is in sharp contrast to the tragic end of Yue Fei being framed in the second half.
After reading the entire book, Zhang Juzheng's only feeling was that he was "uneasy"!
It’s really hard to let go. The first half of Yue Fei’s fight against the Jin made people fascinated and saw the hope of the Northern Expedition.
However, all these hopes were destroyed in the second half by the villain Qin Hui. After that, the mountains and rivers were turbulent, and the Southern Song Dynasty was no longer able to make the Northern Expedition.
It was so frustrating.
After Zhang Juzheng finished reading, it was already early the next morning.
He was also affected by Su Ze's writing style and felt furious.
Especially the song "Man Jiang Hong" at the end of the book made Zhang Juzheng recite it back and forth, and he was even more fascinated by Yue Fei.
After reading the entire book, Zhang Juzheng turned to the back and found a postscript?
Postscript is a postscript, which is generally used by the author to explain the creative background and explain the writing content and process.
Zhang Juzheng felt that this novel was very well written, so he also opened the postscript and read it.
"I wrote this book because I gave it to my uncle Yu who was unjustly imprisoned. I felt the experience of Yue Wumu and wrote it angrily."
After reading this postscript, Zhang Juzheng felt his hands and feet were cold.
He picked up the book and was about to go out, but his servant informed him that Gao Gong was here.
Zhang Juzheng was arranging his clothes, only to see a disheveled Gao Gong rushing into his study.
"Uncle! Su Rulin has come to Beijing!"
Zhang Juzheng felt somewhat expected when he heard the news.
He only saw Gao Gong holding a copy of "The Complete Biography of Yue Shuo" in his hand. He glanced at the book in Zhang Juzheng's hand and immediately understood the situation.
"Uncle, have you finished reading? Are you going to see Mr. Xu Ge?"
Zhang Juzheng nodded, slumped on his chair and said: "Writing is like a knife. I finally know what it means to write like a knife! This book by Su Rulin As soon as the book comes out, who is Yue Fei and who is Qin Hui?" Gao Gong also fell silent.
Gao Gong quickly said: "What is the use of you looking for Mr. Xu Ge? If Mr. Xu Ge bans this book, doesn't it mean that he has a guilty conscience?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "If this book continues to spread like this, the teacher will look after him for dozens of people. Years are ruined!"
At this time, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was at his house.
This commander of the Jinyi Guards, who was feared by all the ministers, was born in a hereditary Jinyiwei military family. His father was a member of the Jinyiwei Tongzhi, and his mother was the wet nurse of Emperor Jiajing. He followed his mother in and out of the palace since he was a child, and was Jiajing's childhood playmate.
During the Renchen Palace Incident, it was Lu Bing who carried the wet quilt and rescued Emperor Jiajing from the burning palace.
This shows the close relationship between him and the emperor, which is why Lu Bing was able to reverse the tradition of the Zhengde Year and the Jin Yiwei surpassed Dongchang and became the leader of the factory guard.
In fact, Lu Bing comes from a family of military commanders, and his cultural level is average.
This "Shuo Yue Quanshu" was bought by a servant. Because it was in vernacular, Lu Bing read it with gusto.
"The treacherous minister Qin Hui is really hateful!"
Lu Bing saw the excitement and slapped the table hard, causing the teacup to fall to the ground.
Jin Yiwei has a tradition of worshiping Yue Fei. Yue Fei is enshrined in Jin Yiwei's official office. Lu Bing has heard many stories about Yue Fei since he was a child.
After reading it, Lu Bing was not only upset, but also furious, wishing he could take it and chop Qin Hui!
Any postscript?
Lu Bing turned to the back and saw "Uncle Yu, a lifelong friend, was wrongly imprisoned." Lu Bing immediately sat up.
Isn't it Yu Dayou who is in Jinyiwei's prison?
Lu Bing started pacing back and forth.
In fact, Lu Bing and Yu Dayou did not have any friendship. Lu Bing asked people to take care of Yu Dayou and even asked the imperial doctor to treat his injuries just because Lu Bing admired Yu Dayou.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Lu Bing also had information channels. He knew that Yu Dayou did not respect the bandits, let alone take credit for killing them.
Moreover, Yu Dayou has a clean resume and only thinks about fighting against the Japanese, so Lu Bing has a good impression of him.
Although Lu Bing is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he is a man with a sense of justice.
When Yang Jisheng and Li Mo were imprisoned, Lu Bing took care of them.
Lu Bing, who had always admired Yue Fei, was even more upset when he linked Yu Dayou and Yue Fei again.
"Come here!"
"Lord Commander!"
"Change clothes and prepare horses! I want to enter the palace!"
Everyone was shocked, but it was normal for Lu Bing to enter the palace.
Nowadays, among the foreign ministers, the only ones who can see the emperor anytime and anywhere are Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, the second assistant, and then Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Even Lu Bing is the only one who can enter the palace anytime and anywhere.
Lu Bing had someone wrap up "The Complete Biography of Shuo Yue", then he held the book under his arm and galloped towards the palace gate on horseback.
On the other side, Zhang Juzheng stood up and asked: "Brother Su Qing, do you know where Su Rulin lives?"
Gao Gong said: "I heard that Su Rulin lives near Lingji Palace now, and I heard that he will give lectures in Lingji Palace. "
Teaching?"
Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised. Although Zhang Juzheng, who was in the capital, knew some of Su Ze's remarks and his couplets at Quzhou Academy, was it too early for Su Ze to give lectures?
Su Ze was just a civil servant. He had been active in Zhejiang and Fujian in southern Zhili. You must know that the capital is an important place, and those who can give lectures in the capital are without exception well-educated Confucian scholars.
The Lingji Palace that Su Ze chose has a great background. It is one of the nine temples in the capital. It was built under the order of Emperor Yongle to worship Erxu Zhenjun.
Lingji Palace once prayed for blessings and cured Emperor Yongle's illness. It has been prosperous and continuously expanded since the Chengzu Dynasty.
However, it began to decline during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. After Emperor Jiajing, the Taoist emperor, came to the throne, he believed that the immortal status of "Er Xu Zhenjun" was suspicious, so he withdrew the worship of Er Xu Zhenjun and replaced it with "Emperors and famous ministers of all dynasties". tablet".
But from this time on, Xinxue began to flourish. After Xu Jie entered the cabinet, he invited masters of Xinxue many times to give lectures in Lingji Palace.
Lingji Palace gradually transformed from a royal monastery into a holy place for lectures.
For example, five years ago, Yan Jun, a disciple of Wang Gen of the Taizhou School, visited the capital and gave lectures at Lingji Palace at the invitation of Xu Jie.
Yan Jun gave two lectures at Lingji Palace, both of which received strong responses. Yan Jun was able to identify problems, ask questions and come up with immediate answers, often at the moment of his eyebrows.
Su Ze actually wants to give lectures in Lingji Palace?
Gao Gong said: "Su Ze is a commoner and has not been invited by the important officials of the imperial court. Naturally, he cannot go to Lingji Palace to give lectures. However, he plans to give lectures outside Lingji Palace. Now that the news has been sent out, it is estimated that there will be many people there." Go and listen to the lecture."
Zhang Juzheng pulled Gao Gong and said, "Let's go find Su Rulin. The plan now is to let him speak out and prove that the postscript is not an allusion to Mr. Xu Ge!"
Gao Gong asked, "Is it possible?"
Zhang Juzheng changed his mind. With the calmness of the past, he said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it! The influence of "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" is too great! Forget it on the people of the capital, if this book is sent to the palace, the Yan Party will take the opportunity to cause trouble again! Gao
Gong thought about it and realized that what Zhang Juzheng said did make sense.
Although he disagrees with Xu Jie on many things, Xu Jie is the biggest helper to King Yu today.
If Xu Jie falls, then King Yu's life will be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Gao Gong also stood up and said, "I'm going with my uncle. I also want to meet this Su Rulin!"
At this time, Su Ze had moved to the edge of Lingji Palace. He changed his previous low-key behavior. , began to announce that he would give lectures in the capital.
During this time, the literati from the capital came to visit him. Su Ze met them one by one and talked with them about folk art and literature.
Su Ze's "True Love Theory", which emphasized the "meaning of the music" and advocated the "interest", quickly spread in the capital. With his attainments in the art of music, Su Ze can now be regarded as a great master in this field.
However, the scholars who came here all came to discuss folk arts with Su Ze, and no one discussed academic matters with Su Ze.
Most people just listened to Su Ze's lectures. It was almost the Chinese New Year at this time, so who had time to listen to lectures?
Some people think that Su Ze is overestimating his abilities when giving lectures.
At this time, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng came to the hotel where Su Ze lived.
