Chapter 1640: Find another way out
About half an hour later, Ye Chunqiu took a crane carriage to Fei Hong's mansion.
This place was already in a mess, with stones and abandoned sticks all over the ground. More than a dozen Jinyiwei were still here. Ye Chunqiu ignored them and asked someone to go and pat the door, and handed over a famous post.
The Fei family's concierge answered the door in fear. After going in to report, there was no reply for a long time.
Ye Chunqiu simply got off the crane cart and walked inside. The gatekeeper wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare.
The Fei family was also wailing, as if a disaster was about to come.
Ye Chunqiu didn't care and directly searched the hall of the Fei family. In front of the door, Fei Hong's son Fei Yi happened to walk out of it. When he saw Ye Chunqiu, he wanted to hide as if he had seen a ghost.
Ye Chunqiu said: "Is it Brother Fei Xian? Why are you going? Where are you going?"
Fei Yi subconsciously said: "It's in the hall."
After saying that, Fei Yi was shocked and regret flashed across his face, and said in a panic: "What are you... what are you doing? My father didn't let you in, you... don't hurt others."
Ye Chunqiu was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore, so he stepped into the hall. Fei Yi was shocked and scared, and gritted his teeth and followed him in.
Fei Hongzheng sat in the main seat in the hall, his face as if dead. Now, he was obviously at the end of his life. He knew very well that this defeat would be a sinner for the ages.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu stepped forward, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Fei."
Fei Hong raised his eyes and saw that it was Ye Chunqiu. He remembered that he had ended like this today, all thanks to the person in front of him. He thought that when he saw this shameless villain again, he would definitely be furious, and even wanted to beat him up to vent his hatred. However, when he actually met, he felt surprisingly calm and said lazily: "Oh, is Duke Zhen coming to see the joke?"
"No." Ye Chunqiu replied very simply.
"Then..." Fei Hong felt sarcastic and mocked: "I wonder what the Duke of Zhenguo has to do with his teachings?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "I dare not take it when I see the teachings. I hope Mr. Fei can come forward to take charge of the overall situation. Mr. Fei is a gentleman. I have always known this. Regardless of Mr. Fei's knowledge and the origin of the top scholar, he has always been known as the Qingming. I think at this time, Mr. Fei must have thought that he had reached the end of his life at this time, but Mr. Chunqiu thought it was wrong. Mr. Fei is still the Minister of Rites. Mr. Fei is not allowed to do so in this Ministry of Rites."
Fei Hong looked at Ye Chunqiu straight, but still thought that Ye Chunqiu was deliberately mocking him.
This guy is here to take advantage of the situation, right?
Ye Chunqiu believed that Fei Hong was not bad, or that at this point, good or bad people are no longer the standard for commenting on a person. Just like Li Dongyang, just like himself, simply evaluating good and bad people seems too superficial.
In essence, everyone has their own ideas and what they want to do. Some people pursue the prosperous era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who do not close their doors at night and do not pick up their own remains. What some people pursue is reforms like Shang Yang and Wang Anshi, and some people, like Ye Chunqiu, want to find another way out. He thinks that the road in the past is not working. What should he do if he doesn't work? Then he can only try his best to change and walk out a path that his predecessors did not have.
But, is anyone willing to let you go?
In addition to those merchants, scholars who have gained benefits, those powerful people who have gained generous benefits from the Zhenguo Mansion, how could the civil and military officials of the court really follow you, Ye Chunqiu, take a path that does not exist at all? They have their own inertial thinking and their self-righteous ideas. They do not agree with it, so they oppose. In this temple, opposition cannot be limited to verbalism. They have the interests they need to take care of and the interests of a group, so they have to fight and fight until they live to the death.
Shang Yang's reform, the struggle between the new and the old and the nobles; Wang Anshi's reform, the struggle between the new and the old and the old, and before, Niu Li's party struggle, which was mostly the same.
Wang Anshi is not a bad person, and Sima Guang may not be the one who is unforgivable. In essence, they only have their own thoughts.
Ye Chunqiu continued: "To this day, my Mount Tai has become the chief minister, and Mr. Li will never give up easily. He will still be a cabinet minister. At this point, the victory and loss have been decided. When Mr. Li lost this time, all the blame was attributed to Mr. Fei. In Mr. Li's eyes, Mr. Fei must take the blame. If it weren't for Mr. Fei's misconduct, would he have to let Mr. Li admit that he was the main person responsible for this defeat?"
"What's more, the crowd is now in a raging situation and they are all opposing Mr. Fei. If Mr. Fei is like this, he will still be a sinner. He will not be able to clear himself for life and may even harm his descendants. But I think Mr. Fei should not do this. What is the real man who encounters some small setbacks? At this point, Mr. Fei should cheer up and continue to do something within his ability, so that people all over the world can see clearly what kind of person Mr. Fei is, so that those misunderstandings can disappear."
Fei Hong looked at Ye Chunqiu and had not come back to his senses for a long time.
He is still the Minister of Rites. This is nothing wrong. As long as the palace does not allow himself to leave and he does not leave, no one can drive him away.
But the question is, why did Ye Chunqiu keep himself?
He is indeed at the end of his journey now. The position of Minister of Rites should be abolished. Even if the palace does not dismiss himself and Wang Hua does not hinder, can he risk the world's tyranny and continue to be a corpse and eat?
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something that if Ye Chunqiu had supported him, things would have been different. Behind Ye Chunqiu was Wang Hua and behind him was the emperor. The overall situation was settled now, with the strong support of the emperor and the prime minister behind him, and with him coming forward to keep him, his current position as Minister of Rites, would be stable.
But Fei Hong still couldn't figure out a question. Why did Ye Chunqiu do this? Or was he sowing the disagreement?
Fei Hong couldn't help but think deeply, as if there was no need for any discord between him and Mr. Li.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand me, I don't mean to tease Mr. Fei. You also know that in the next few days, I will be very busy. Well, including my Lord Taishan, will be very busy. How can I have the intention to joke with Mr. Fei? What Ye said is really from the heart. I don't agree with Mr. Fei's philosophy. However, if Mr. Fei is in the court, he can still clear himself, but once he leaves, the stain will never be explained. Please rest assured Mr. Fei. As long as Mr. Fei still has the will to serve the court, no one will do anything to Mr. Fei."
