Chapter 940 The Suffering of Supervisor

After sitting in the flower hall for a long time, Lian Chengbi suddenly asked his followers to summon Xu Guoliang to come and Xu Guoliang came. When he saw a large pile of neat manuscripts on the large desk in front of the old supervisor, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Lian Chengbi pointed to the manuscript and said to Xu Guoliang: "This is my lifelong hard work. I have found more than 700,000 or 800,000 words, but I still have no order. The ancients said: The Supreme Master established virtue, and then made meritorious, and then made words, which are called three immortals. I cannot reach the establishment of virtue and meritoriousness, and I may have hope. Even if there is no hope, you should still want to publish this manuscript to the world, so that the world can know from this that I, Lian Chengbi, have a loyalty to the king and father, and the Ming Dynasty." Lian Chengbi said this decisively, with a very sad and angry expression, and was a little passionate.

Xu Guoliang couldn't bear it when he saw the old supervisor like this, so he advised: "The master's reputation has long been known to the world. The supervisor had published "Collected Poetry" and "Collected Officials" in his early years. In recent years, there were also "Fuguan Memorial" and "Xuanyun Memorial" in his works. There were many volumes, and it was not difficult for famous mountain careers to be passed down to future generations."

Lian Chengbi sighed when he heard this, "I have no choice but to be a minister, so I have to put my thoughts on finding mountains and rivers aside and work hard for the court. I still want to retire after success, but then I have a long-cherished wish. I didn't expect to fall into it and have no way to get out of it."

"The commander has just passed the destiny of heaven, and the spring and autumn are long. The first battle is over. I will accompany you to wander around the mountains and rivers, and learn from Xu Xiake to travel between the world, leaving behind pictures, legends and scripts for famous mountains and rivers." Xu Guoliang said sincerely.

"How can I go back after a successful journey? The stream in front of me suddenly sucks the smoke of Wuling. Now I feel so moved when I think of my previous poems! I have also heard of Xu Xiake. Before he was fifty, he traveled all over the famous mountains in the north and south, including Mount Tai, Mount Song, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, Mount Wutai, Mount Huang, Mount Lu, Mount Putuo, Mount Tiantai, and Mount Yandang, and the farthest to Mount Wuyi, Fujian. I have written many travel notes on famous mountains. I am fifty-eight years old this year, and I am not as good as him."

Lian Chengbi shook his head, took the tea handed by Xu Guoliang, took two sips, and took Xu Guoliang's hand and said, "The way of officialdom is like drinking, just to be happy. The sage's mind cares about the doctrine of the mean. The middle one is the right way in the world; the mediocre one is the theorem of the world. However, the doctrine of the mean is really difficult to grasp. I advise you to read books and not be an official. The career path is dangerous, and you will be entangled with trivial matters all day long, and you will live up to the great time."

"Abide by the supervisor's lessons." Xu Guoliang agreed and asked, "Tomorrow is the supervisor's fifty-ninth birthday. The staff are preparing to hold a banquet at the headquarters to celebrate the birthday of the supervisor..."

"How can I bear it?" Lian Chengbi interrupted his words, "Since I have been under the responsibility, they have been working hard. Now that fifteen years of bleak business have been lost, how can I bear to teach them to be happy?"

Xu Guoliang felt a lot of pain and said patiently: "For fifteen years, it has become a common practice for the generals and officials of the headquarters to prepare banquets and celebrate birthdays for the supervisor. This time it is especially indispensable, even if it is a scene. Otherwise, wouldn't it hurt everyone's hearts and how would everyone's morale be restored?"

Lian Chengbi nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable. Go on and prepare, keep everything simple and not extravagant."

The banquet was indeed simple. There was no opera troupe singing or singing and dancing with official prostitutes, and the wine and food were not rich. Lian Chengbi was so energetic that he accepted the congratulations of his followers. He sat at the banquet for a while, held the cup slightly, and wet his purple lips. The banquet ended in a hurry. When he was about to leave the birthday hall, he bowed with tears: "Everyone is kind, how can the city wall repay you? It has dragged you down."

"We follow the commander to suppress the thieves for the court, so why should we drag down?" Xu Guoliang looked around everyone, "Everyone said, right?"

Lianchengbi's eyes were filled with tears, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he sighed and said, "Thank you all your kindness, and the citybi is grateful. It would be great if the court officials thought so too! The heart would not change lightly, so we can do it without too much scruples. If that's the case, it would be difficult to do it. Needless to say, the court officials were the gentry of Jiangnan Zuo who could see us suppressing the thieves. They regarded my Lianchengbi as the supervisor who was demoted by the court. But I didn't think I was the assistant minister of the court, and I was ordered to supervise the army and coordinate the overall situation. The responsibility was to destroy the thieves. I was not a minister who had boundaries in a province. I drove the Qing army out of the left border of Jiangnan, and then I was accomplished. The court officials in Nanjing wanted to teach them that they could not report the news and understand my difficulties. How could they? I only now understand Yuan Chonghuan's difficulties. How could they be so powerful when he was ordered to leave the country by orders! Unexpectedly, they ended up in Lingchi, the whole family exiled. Do you blame the emperor? No, no! The emperor originally wanted Yuan Chonghuan to make meritorious contributions, but he was bewitched by those court officials and had to take action. Alas! No wonder the court officials. When they went abroad, everyone was very eager to use their troops, horses, money and food at will, but they could not succeed. How could they not blame you and hate you? You all became lonely ministers, how could I bear to everyone?"

Xu Guoliang was moved by his true feelings and cried, "The Supervisor has been worried too much, and the Supervisor's Holy Family is in a long time. We should plan to make another move. We must not be obsessed with the gains and losses of each city, one place, one person, one thing, and one thing, be discouraged and desperate, and be in the opportunity to make up for the fining."

"Take care!"

Everyone stood up one after another, watching Lianchengbi go out into the flower hall, and their steps were a little staggering. Back to the flower hall, Lianchengbi sat alone on the desk and rested, and his thoughts were chaotic. He thought resentfully that the Lujiang incident would cause an uproar in the court. There were many people who impeached him for incompetence. The emperor might have come to blame him and ordered him to commit crimes and seek merits to save the decline. However, Jiang He and the generals such as Anhui were arrogant and domineering, and they did not listen to the order. The two generals Geng Zhongde and Qi Hao were suspicious of themselves and obstructed the strategy of military use in every possible way, but he was both angry and resentful and could not vent. For a moment, he felt uncontrollable, dizzy, and the words on the official documents were blurred and difficult to recognize, so he simply walked into the inner room and lie down in He's clothes. After sleeping for a while, he was unwilling to get up.

"I can't let down the holy grace. Although I didn't leave Beijing on the voluntary basis, I was the governor of two provinces after all!"

Lian Chengbi sighed, held up, asked for a hot towel from his entourage, wiped his face, put on a purple-colored gray squirrel robe, and walked to the case to review the emergency documents. After approving one, he picked up another one, which was sent by Jiang He. He was so annoyed and domineering that he was unable to control himself. The thief scholar trusted him very much and entrusted him with important tasks. When he first received the order, Lian Chengbi sent someone to order Jiang He to march to pursue the fleeing enemy of Anqing, and issued five edicts in a row. Jiang He refused to be sick and watched Anqing's Qing army escape from the encirclement and captured Lujiang again. It was really a crime to die. When he came to Anqing, Jiang He and others did not come to greet him with excuses, let alone accept orders. So he was really headache and bored when he saw the word Jiang He. He patiently opened the document, but found that the document was completely nonsense.
