After listening to Zhou Xian’s narration, Fang Yizhi felt even more confused. “Brother Zhou, since that’s the case, why don’t you want to see him!”

Zhou Xian looked up at Fang Yizhi. "Brother Fang, we are friends. In front of you, I no longer hide it. The reason why I don't want to see Mr. Zhang is the organization Fushe. He is the leader of Fushe. I think part of the reason is that I want to invite me to join Fushe. I have no interest in this, and it is even more impossible to participate. Instead of being embarrassed by the two, it is better not to go."

Fang Yizhi was stunned when he heard Zhou Xian say this. Zhang Pu invited Zhou Xian to the banquet, and there was indeed a factor in inviting him to join the Fushe. At first he thought it was easy to persuade Zhou Xian, so he volunteered to come. But unexpectedly, Zhou Xian refused without thinking for a moment. He felt a little uncomfortable, but seeing Zhou Xian's casual look, he was so angry that he was not angry. "Brother Zhou, do you have any prejudice against Fushe?"

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "There is no prejudice, but the path he is taking is different."

He paused and continued, "I think there are corresponding people to handle the affairs of the court. There is nothing wrong with the purpose of restoring and establishing a society, but when a person thinks of changing the court's paralysis, he should ascend to a high position and slowly change it with his own strength. If he is poor, he will be safe, and if he is prosperous, he will help the world. In Zhou's opinion, this is the most correct way. Imagine a person who has never been to the Six Ministry and does not understand how the affairs of the court are working, but he blames the court. Brother Fang, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Fang Yizhi's face turned slightly red and argued: "Now in the court, treacherous slander is rampant. If we don't do this, there will be no day for justice to stand out."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and waved his hand and said, "Brother Fang, this is where I think differently from you. Although there are some treacherous and treacherous in the court, not everyone is treacherous and has not completely blocked a person's progress. However, most scholars in Fushe, including Mr. Zhang, have arrogant personalities and think that they are born with geniuses, but they are not appreciated. They speak out in a straightforward manner, without caring about the difficulties and true right and wrong of the court. What they do is just to gain their reputation. Zhou Xian thinks these actions are really undesirable."

"Besides..." Zhou Xian paused for a moment and decided to say it directly. "Besides, in the Fushe, everything is defined by origin, not talent and knowledge. Those with good backgrounds and who have relationships with the court can be at a high position in the Fushe to lead other people. Those who are from the cold family have nothing to do with the above. Even if they join the Fushe, they are struggling at the bottom and cannot participate in decision-making at all. Brother Fang, how big a future do you think such a club can have?"

Fang Yizhi looked ugly. He had understood the issues mentioned by Zhou Xian in the Restoration Society for a long time. But he thought that there was no problem at all among the people and even in the court? As long as the purpose was good and for the sake of the world's justice, there would be no big problem. First recruiting people, expanding their influence, and then seeking change, all this will be natural. He sat down for a while, and then couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhou, are you really not going? You have to know that if you can get the support of Mr. Zhang, you will definitely be valued by the court immediately."

Zhou Xian shook his head without hesitation and said, "Brother Fang, everything has gains and losses. This time I have received his favor, and I don't know what price to pay it off next time. I never want to withdraw such an unknown. At that time, I hope Brother Fang, you can say a few more words to me in front of Mr. Zhang, but don't let him hate me for this."

Fang Yizhi waved his hand and said angrily: "Although you don't want to join Fushe, you underestimate Mr. Zhang so much. In the past, I joined Fushe because I valued his talent, mind and ambition. If you don't want to go, I won't force you anymore. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang is definitely not such a stingy person."

Zhou Xian nodded and pondered for a while, saying, "Brother Fang, since that's the case, please bring me a word to Mr. Zhang! My master once said to me, 'The most tough and easy to break, and the best is as good as water'. Let me give you a message to Mr. Zhang at this time!"

"Master..." Fang Yizhi looked puzzled, "You are talking about Yang Hanlin?"

"No, you don't know the master of the gun and stick when I was in my hometown." After saying that, Zhou Xian couldn't help but remember what happened when he was still in Wuyang, and a little sadness flashed across his calm face. Master Lin didn't know what was going on at this time.

Zhang Pu was eccentric and arrogant, and later died of abdominal pain in the 14th year of Chongzhen. Although there was no definite evidence, it was said that he was poisoned to death by someone sent by Zhou Yanru.

After leaving Zhou Xian vacant for nearly three months, Emperor Chongzhen finally remembered Zhou Xian again and sent Wang Chengen to inform him to enter the palace immediately.

Zhou Xian stepped into Wenhua Hall and saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting upright behind the Dragon Case, while the prince was accompanying him. Zhu Cixuan saw Zhou Xian and squeezed Zhou Xian in the direction that Emperor Chongzhen could not see. Zhou Xian felt funny in his heart, but his face did not dare to change at all. Facing Emperor Chongzhen's majestic eyes, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "My minister Zhou Xian greets Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, and you have lost a lot of weight. Are you dissatisfied with me and your idleness? That's why?"

Zhou Xian's face changed a little, and he lowered his head and replied, "Zhou Xian dared not. Zhou Xian knew in his heart that his Majesty's favor for me. During the palace examination, he was so rude to the government. If it were someone else, he would have died hundreds of times. Zhou Xian could still stand here safely at this moment, and it was His Majesty's longing."

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with Zhou Xian's statement, and immediately ordered Wang Chengen to say, "Give him a seat and a tea."

Zhou Xian bowed and bowed, then found the nearest seat to sit down.

"I really feel wronged. I know what you said at that time, but there are feasible things. But there are too many oppositions in the court, and I have to consider it. I originally wanted to give you an official position after I was idle for a while, but the accusations against you in the court could never be calmed down. Later, Yang Sichang gave me a suggestion. In his memorial, he asked to send you to the Xiangyang army first to show the court's ministers that I punish you. After you make contributions in the future, you will recall you and re-give you a new position. What do you think?"
