My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 269 The Purple Passivity of Literature

Tang Xianzu was from Linchuan. His four most famous long dramas are all related to dreams, so they are also called Linchuan Four Dreams.

Now that he had already copied two dreams, Su Ze would not stop at nothing, so he simply copied "Handan Ji", the third of the four dreams.

With the spread of this article, Su Ze's literary skills finally reached Lv10.

[The skill literature has reached Lv10, please choose a passive skill. 】

Lv10 is already guaranteed to be blue, but this time Su Ze was lucky, and actually got two purples and one blue directly.

Turn over the three passive skill cards, only to see:

[Purple Passive——Listen to Thunder in the Silent Place: Literary Skill +2, when writing critical articles, Literary Skill +2. 】

[Purple Passive—I don’t regret when my belt gets wider: Literary skill +2, when writing purely literary articles, literary skill +2. 】

[Blue Passive—Poetry Talents: Literature Skills +2, Poetry Literature Skills +1. 】

Looking at the two purple skills, Su Ze suddenly understood that these are the two directions of choosing literature.

One is the direction of critical literature that is closer to politics. The most famous writer in this category is Lu Xun. There is not a single article that is not used to arouse the people of the country. It can be said that the combat effectiveness is full.

The other is the direction of pure literature. There have been many characters of this type since ancient times, and the dimly lit place is the second literary height of Wang Guowei's judgment of human words and words. Could it be that the golden one is "that person is in a dimly lit place" ?

As for the blue passive, it was still the same as before in the choice of literary categories, and Su Ze decisively eliminated poetry.

What future is there for poetry in the Ming Dynasty!

Looking at these two passives, Su Ze naturally chose the first one without hesitation, "Listen to the thunder in the silent place".

"My heart is so bright that it connects Guangyu, and I listen to the thunder in a silent place", this is exactly the poem written by Lu Xun.

It means that there are many things in my mind, far away, connected to the people of the vast land, and from the surface silence, I can hear the sprouting of the revolutionary spring thunder.

Today's Ming Dynasty is an era of silence.

In the actual feudal dynasty, there is no such thing as a peaceful era.

The Guanzhong earthquake last year has not yet recovered, and there have been many turmoil in Guanzhong.

This year, the anti-Japanese situation in Zhejiang is a little better, but Japanese pirates have begun to invade Fujian and Guangzhou again.

Anda in the north is still raging, and Liaodong is not peaceful.

The chieftains in the southwest are often rebellious. Along the way, Su Ze saw the emaciated people who were forced to stretch because of the order of the Ministry of Industry. Along Huai'an, you can also see the river embankment dug by the government army. The tragedy of last year is still in front of you. .

Su Ze took Lin Mojun and Yu Dayou's son all the way north, and finally arrived in the capital years ago.

In front of Yongding Gate, this is the most important wharf in the north on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Taxes and grains from the south of the Yangtze River will be unloaded here.

Su Ze saw a large amount of wood, even a big wood that could only be hugged by two people. Needless to say, these are beams used to repair the three halls.

This type of wood cannot be soaked in water. Although it is transported by canal, it is still tightly wrapped and requires dozens of dock workers to unload. Su Ze watched a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry drinking tea and watching the workers unload the goods. On the other hand, the officials of the household department are counting and putting into the warehouse.

"Mr. Su, where are we going?" Yu Zigao couldn't help asking.

Yu Dayou is 56 years old this year, but he is a middle-aged son, and Yu Zigao is only 17 years old now.

In history, Yu Zigao was also a patriotic general. After inheriting his father's position as commander, he was stationed in Fujian and drove out the Dutch who invaded Penghu.

But at this moment, he was still just a young man, and he looked at Su Ze in a daze.

Su Ze said: "Find a place to live first, and I'll find someone to check the situation first."

Yu Zigao listened to Su Ze's lectures on the art of war and knowledge along the way, and he also trusted Su Ze very much at this time, so he nodded quickly.

After entering the city, Su Ze saw that the capital was a bit depressed, and there were not even as many people on the streets as there were in Nanjing.

The three found a small hotel to stay temporarily, and learned about the situation in the capital from the boss.

It turned out that this year the northern Ida soldiers surrounded Datong Mansion. Although Ida retreated before winter, I heard that a lot of money rewarded by the frontier army was corrupted. The Shanxi frontier army made troubles and cut off the coal supplied by the capital.

In addition, the victims of the Guanzhong earthquake last year were still gathered in the west of Beijing, and these victims also had to burn coal for heating, which led to the soaring price of charcoal for winter in the capital this year.

"Last year's disaster victims haven't returned yet?" Even Su Ze was a little unbelievable.

The shopkeeper said without any surprises: "These victims came to the capital with nothing. They don't have any real estate title deeds, and they have no way to survive when they go back."

Yu Zigao asked: "Will the imperial court not resettle the disaster victims?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? Guanzhong has less land and more people. The earthquake destroyed the government office, and even the land account books are gone. Except for those who brought out the title deed, they can barely get some land back. Can ordinary people It’s hard to tell when you go back.”

"Then the court doesn't care?"

"You can still find some livelihood by relying on the capital. Anyway, as long as they don't make trouble, the government will let them go."

The three of them were also speechless, they were clearly at the feet of the emperor, how could the situation in the north be worse than that in the south.

The next day, Su Ze came to Zhongguan Village, southeast of the Forbidden City, with gifts and invitations.

Looking at the staggered high and low houses, you can also see the settlement of farmland. This land has a more famous name in later generations-Zhongguancun.

But at this time it is called Zhongguan Village, as the name suggests, it is the place where eunuchs gather.

Of course, it is impossible for all the eunuchs to be crowded in the palace, and now there are two places where eunuchs gather in the capital.

One is the warehouse near Donghua Gate, which is equivalent to the collective dormitory for eunuchs and maids. The low houses are connected together, and the conditions are naturally very difficult.

The warehouse is at the root of the imperial city, so it is not comfortable to talk about. The people who live here are basically low-level eunuchs and maids who have just entered the palace.

Those who are in the top ranks in the palace, if they are not working in the palace, will live in Zhongguan Village. After all, there are many rules in the palace, and who wants to be controlled in the palace every day if they have some status.

Su Ze quickly found out the residence of his target, Eunuch Tong, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory.

This father-in-law Tong was the father-in-law of Dongchang who came to Nanjing to search his home last time. Su Ze came to his home with gifts and invitations, and was welcomed in by his servants after a while.

When it was almost evening, eunuch Tong returned to the house, and he met Su Ze immediately.

"Mr. Su!"

Eunuch Tong was very enthusiastic. If it wasn't for Su Ze's help last time, eunuch Tong would not have been able to overwhelm Jin Yiwei Zhu Qi and steal more assets.

The house raid that time not only enriched the national treasury, but also enriched Eunuch Tong. Moreover, Su Ze got along well with him and never put on airs of a scholar.

After arriving in the capital, Su Ze's second dream also became popular in the capital. Eunuch Tong often showed off his friendship with Su Ze to his subordinates.

Su Ze put down the gift, and Eunuch Tong accepted it politely. A certain skill has been improved again, and it has reached Lv3.

Su Ze ignored that skill for the time being, and said to Eunuch Tong:

"Da Dang, I came to the capital this time. Yu Dayou, the deputy general of Zhejiang Province, is my family friend uncle. I came to the capital this time for him."

Hearing Yu Dayou's name, the smile on Eunuch Tong's face disappeared immediately, and he quickly dismissed the servant, and then said:

"Su Xianggong came so quickly, this Yu Dayou entered the imperial prison only ten days ago."

Su Ze took out an ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into Eunuch Tong's hand and said, "Yu Shibo is my close elder, please take care of me."

Eunuch Tong hastily declined and said: "General Yu is doing well in prison, the money should be kept where it is more needed."

Eunuch Tong sighed and said, "Commander Lu also sympathized with General Yu, so he ordered the prison not to torture General Yu, but this case is not easy."

"Commander Lu? But Commander Lu Binglu of Jinyiwei?"

"Exactly, Commander Lu personally praised him, saying that General Yu is a figure like Yue Fei, and he often visits General Yu in prison."

"If you ask me, General Yu is fine in the imperial prison."

Hearing that Lu Bing was protecting Yu Dayou, Su Ze felt relieved.

In fact, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang had been merged into one office, basically a team, and people at that time called it "Factory Guard".

Yu Dayou was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's imperial prison, and Su Zecai asked Eunuch Tong to inquire about the situation.

Now the factory guard is in power, and it is the Commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Bing.

Su Ze stuffed the ingot into Eunuch Tong's hand again and said, "Can I meet Yu Shibo?"

Eunuch Tong said simply: "This is easy. Mr. Su will be here tomorrow morning, and I will take you in."

"Then thank you, Da Dang."

At this time, in Yan Shifan's mansion, Xiao Ge was sitting on the warm bed, and Zhao Wenhua below was talking loudly:

"Qingliu, Qingliu! It's just Xu Dang! Yu Dayou made great contributions in fighting the Japanese, yet he was framed and imprisoned by them!"

Zhao Wenhua is a confidant of the Yan Party, and now he is the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the core of the Party.

Hu Zongxian was recommended by Zhao Wenhua, and both of their political lives were tied to fighting the Japanese.

This time Qingliu impeached Hu Zongxian, Zhao Wenhua was the most angry, he complained to Yan Shifan while blowing his beard.

Yan Shifan, I saw that he has a fat head and big ears, his eyebrows and beard are a little sparse, because of congenital reasons, he can't see clearly in his right eye, and his body is also a little fat, which is completely different from Yan Song who is still handsome after old age.

However, no one in the entire capital dared to laugh at the appearance of this young elder, and Yan Shifan was so lustful that he had already taken in the concubine of Jiufang.

At this time, he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was able to step down a group of Jinshi officials. From being an official to this step, it was also a manifestation of the power of the strict party.

The older Yan Song was, the more the Yan party gathered around Yan Shifan. This year he even moved out of Yan Song's mansion, and now his mansion is even more luxurious than his father's.

Zhao Wenhua, Yan Maoqing, the backbone of the strict party, often discuss matters in his mansion.

Compared with Zhao Wenhua's indignation, Yan Maoqing's attitude was much more peaceful.

"Yu Dayou is Yu Dayou, Hu Zongxian is Hu Zongxian, and now Xu Dang is participating in the performance is Yu Dayou. As long as Yu Dayou doesn't mess around, Hu Zongxian can't be involved."

Yan Maoqing looked at Yan Shifan and said: "Mr. Xiaoge, if you want me to say, as long as Hu Ruzhen is not involved, there is no need to save this Yu Dayou. The Qingliu group attacked him, just to let your majesty see these gentlemen who claim to be 'non-party'. How did you form a party for personal gain!"

After Yan Maoqing finished speaking, Zhao Wenhua said again:

"This Yu Dayou is in prison, how could he not bite Hu Ruzhen!"

Yan Maoqing said sadly: "Then let him shut up!"

Seeing his two important subordinates quarreling, Yan Shifan said:

"Stop arguing! The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are all on our shoulders! Is this the time for internal strife?"

Yan Shifan stood up and said, "Commander Lu Bing of Jinyiwei appreciates Yu Dayou very much, and he has no chance to fight in the imperial prison."

Zhao Wenhua and Yan Maoqing were silent, listening to Yan Shifan say:

"Talk to the Ministry of Punishment and quickly convict Yu Dayou after the trial starts next year. As long as he solves the problem, Hu Ruzhen will not be implicated."

Yan Shifan set the tone, and Zhao Wenhua and Yan Maoqing stopped arguing. The strict party controls the Ministry of Punishment. As long as the iron case is nailed down quickly, Qingliu can no longer attack Hu Zongxian because of this.

But Yan Shifan had other thoughts, he said:

"Hu Zongxian also wants to beat him up. Because he is my father's disciple, I have written to him several times without replying."

Zhao Wenhua lowered his head, he is also a strict party, but Hu Zongxian's position in the strict party is also very subtle, he did not join Yan Shifan with most of the people, but just hugged Yan Song's thigh.

Yan Shifan wrote to Hu Zongxian, asking him to issue some anti-Japanese coupons in Zhejiang for businessmen from his hometown in Jiangxi to offset the tax on banknotes.

This matter naturally made Xiao Ge half-dead, and made a fuss with Yan Song, but was blocked by Yan Song's statement that "anti-Japanese affairs are the most important thing for the country".

Hu Zongxian's merchants from Huizhou prefecture are traveling in Zhejiang, why is the overall situation not important at this time?

This time Qingliu attacked Yu Dayou, and Yan Dang stood by, which also meant Yan Shifan.

However, Yu Dayou is a military general, and Yan Shifan's side is just a small topic, and the three of them discuss other issues again.

On the second day, Su Ze wore a black cloak and followed Eunuch Tong to the prison to meet Yu Dayou secretly.

When Su Ze returned to the hotel, Yu Dayou's sons Yu Zigao and Lin Mojun surrounded him anxiously and asked:

"Su Xianggong, how is my father?"

Su Ze sighed and said, "Yu Shibo was taken care of by Commander Jin Yiwei Lu in the imperial prison, and his injuries are not serious."

Speaking of this, Su Ze thought of the sore on Yu Dayou's shoulder, which was the bird gun injury he suffered in the Pinghu Battle, and it never healed.

When escorted to Beijing by Jin Yiwei, he used shackles, and by the time the imperial prison had already festered.

Thanks to Lu Bing's care, he asked the imperial physician to help Yu Dayou see a doctor, so he hugged his arm.

Based on Su Ze's [medical skills] diagnosis, although amputation is not possible, Yu Dayou's arm is considered useless.

But it would be nice to be able to save a life in the imperial prison, Su Ze continued:

"Yu Shibo is disheartened. In order not to implicate Governor Hu, he intends to plead guilty."

"What!"
