    ? 0102 Zhang Yangming Deceived the Sky

    Li Dongyang stepped out of the palace gate quickly, just got into the sedan chair, and immediately opened the sedan chair curtain and called the old family who had followed him for many years: "Quickly, go to the Ministry of Rites, and invite the servant Wang Huawang to come to my house to drink wine and fight poetry."

    Wang Hua, minister of the Ministry of Rites, father of Wang Shouren, head of the Ministry of War, the number one scholar in Chenghua Xinchou year, was a bachelor in the East Palace when the late emperor Hongzhi was the prince, and his reputation and status are not far behind Wang Qiong.

    The Ministry of War is the most leisurely yamen among the six departments when it is not in war, and the treasury is located in the west wing of the second entrance.  In summer, when the windows were closed, it was so stuffy that I couldn¡¯t breathe, and when the windows were opened, the sun shook violently, so many soldiers and miscellaneous workers hid from the house and sat on the corridor shaking cattail fans and chatting.

    A soldier in shirtless sweatshirt was spitting about the anecdote at Caishikou today: "I heard that Mr. Yang of Shenji Camp is a descendant of the loyal minister Yang's family in the Northern Song Dynasty. If you want to talk about this Yang family, then  Women are stronger than men. The beheading platform is one horse high, and there is a rope in front of it. This Mrs. Yang jumped onto the stage with one stride. She is really lighter than a civet cat.

    Xu Shangshu was furious, and personally went on stage to supervise the beheading, hey!  Mrs. Yang showed a painting, painted by the late Emperor Hongzhi himself, and placed it on top of her husband's head.  Who dares to chop a knife?  Just like that, the four executioners were all dumbfounded."

    A soldier listened amusedly, and interjected and asked: "Hey, the other lords don't have the protection of the late emperor's calligraphy, and Mrs. Yang didn't protect them, why didn't they cut it first?"

    The shirtless man rolled his eyes and said: "What do you think? This is because of the fault of the late emperor's calligraphy. It's not an imperial decree to pardon Mr. Yang alone. Who would dare to cut half and keep half? The family members of other criminals are willing to give up?  What do people think? The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is not ashamed."

    The soldier was robbed, and he smiled embarrassingly and fell silent.  These people gathered around a small square table. On the table was a large teapot and six or seven tea bowls. The shirtless man was so excited, he picked up a bowl and drank a few mouthfuls before realizing that he had taken it wrong.  The person next to him said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Wang, I took your tea bowl by mistake."

    That Mr. Wang is Wang Shouren, the head of the treasury department of the Ministry of War. He is in his thirties. He has a white face and a slight beard. He has a southern face. Although his eyes are not very big, he is very energetic.  Drink it, what's the matter?" He lifted the pot and poured another bowl for the man.

    The principal is also wearing a shirtless undershirt, so he doesn't look like a Jinshi.  This man and the seven sons of the Ming Dynasty headed by Li Mengyang recite poems, paint paintings, and study poems. They have a close relationship with each other.  Those who are familiar with him never treat him as a superior official.

    Wang Shouren lifted the pot to fill up the tea, looked at the crowd with a smile, and said slowly: "The emperor Longyan was furious because the bad feng shui of the emperor's mausoleum would damage the fortune of the country. I heard that the emperor has decided to move the mausoleum.  There is bound to be an increase in taxes. Although the three great scholars at the court temporarily stopped this matter, but there is a matter of damage to the dragon veins, I am afraid that there is no way to increase taxes."

    A yamen servant said: "That's not true. Fengshui can't be sloppy. Dragon veins are related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If it is really damaged, then it will be fine?"

    Another yamen servant heard this and interjected angrily: "What Feng Shui, ordinary people can't live anymore, do you still think about what will happen hundreds of years later? My brother drives a small cart and takes the road of Tongzhou in the capital.  Bitter haha, the money earned in a year is barely enough to live on. With this tax increase, the income will be reduced. Besides, the tax increase will limit the profit, and the number of traveling merchants who are willing to rent cars and horses will inevitably decrease. My brother is worried about how to spend the day  Well, let alone those ordinary people."

    A yamen servant shook his cattail fan and asked, "I heard that Master Yang concealed the water leakage from the imperial mausoleum just to let the people have a way of life. Speaking of which, he is still a good official for the country and the people. But  This feng shui can't be sloppy, Master Wang, what do you think?"

    Wang Shouren pondered for a while and said: "In my opinion, everything in the world has its own reason for its existence. Fengshui is an existence, and the people are also an existence. Therefore, Fengshui has the principle of Fengshui, and the common people have the reason of the common people.

    If it is said that the destruction of an inch of soil will affect the fate of the country, wouldn't it affect the fate of the country even more if thousands of people are dying?  Zhu Zi said: Get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature.  Isn't it human desire to send misfortune, prosperity, prosperity and feng shui?  To disregard the life and death of the people for the sake of the people is against the law of heaven, and comparing the two, we choose the big and choose the small, so the life and death of the people is the truth.¡±

    ?Everyone nodded again and again, and a yamen servant said with a smile: "Master Wang has read a lot of books.Lu Lai shook every step and trembled, Wang Shouren couldn't help being surprised when he saw it.

    During the Chinese New Year this year, he accompanied his father to visit the old man. At that time, the fourteenth great-great-grandson of Grandpa Zhu was setting off firecrackers in the pavilion. The old man was so angry that he carried a feather duster and chased his great-great-grandson around the courtyard.  That was really brisk walking, how could he be so old after only half a year?

    Surprised and suspicious, Wang Shouren hurried forward to meet him, bowed deeply and said, "Shouren pays homage to Mr. Zhu, is Mr. Zhu well?"

    "What?" The old man's voice was like a thunderbolt, but it was loud enough: "Don't be like a mosquito humming, I can't hear you as an old man! Oh, I am getting old, people who are going to be 80 this year, and their eyes are blurred  Well, I'm deaf too, I can't see, I can't hearHuh? Whose family are you from?"

    "This old man doesn't even know me?" Wang Shouren looked at Cheng Guogong in astonishment, only to see a cunning flash of light in the old man's eyes, and when he looked carefully, he was still looking at him blankly with old, cloudy eyes.  .

    Seeing this, Wang Shouren was overjoyed: the event is settled!  He just showed joy on his face, when he suddenly caught sight of Yan Song looking at them intently, Wang Shouren hurriedly restrained his mind and saluted again tacitly, and said in a loud voice: "Shouren saluted the old man, the old man has always been kind  OK?"
