The first court staff of the Zhengde Dynasty caused an uproar inside and outside the court. The impeachment of the internal officials, the impeachment of the Jinyi guard, and the exhortation of the emperor came all over the world in an instant.

It's not just that a human life was lost in this court staff.

is also because this court staff broke a rule - in the past, the purpose of the court staff was to show humiliation rather than take people's lives, so the court staff before Chenghua was thick and heavy, but this time, Liu Jin wore someone to dress Yang Yuan.

Such a naked beating is secondary, but the humiliation is several times more painful than the flesh.

People are going back, I don't know whether the treatment is ineffective, or because of anger and shame, they die of heart disease - referred to as dying of anger, after all, they will die in a few days.

The courtiers outside were in turmoil, but in the inner court, it was a different situation.

"These people are famous, alarmist, grandstanding, and the slaves and maids just want to knock off the faces of these people," Liu Jin knelt in front of the little emperor, with a righteous face, "Since they seek fame, they call them bad!" Look at who dares to seek their own reputation by ruining the reputation of the heavenly family! ”

Brother Shou's eyes turned around on him a few times, and he suddenly knocked on the table, and said: "Okay, a good sentence 'seek your own reputation by ruining the reputation of the heavenly family', and those who want to use this as a ladder for advancement should be severely punished!" ”

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and still said with anger on his face: "Long live Lord Shengming!" can be loyal to the long live lord, the slave and the maid will never give up, even if the old gentlemen outside want to kill the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid must guard the reputation of the heavenly family! ”

Then he said: "Long live Lord Mingjian, the slave maid only wears people to remove their clothes, and there is no heavy hand command, Long Live Lord also knows, where can the slave and maid be called to move the brocade guard!" That Yang Yuan is forty times, still in the prime of life, where can he not help fighting, I am afraid that someone will make trouble after going back, and want to cure the slave to death, and fall into injustice! It's not a pity for the slave to die, but the slave and the maid dare not bear the crime of the Long Live Lord!! ”

Brother Shou's face was uncertain, and his heart was also tumbling with rolling thoughts, Liu Jin would just listen to any nonsense about his loyalty to the heavenly family, Liu Jin's little ninety-nine, Brother Shou didn't say it clearly, but he also knew it in his heart.

But one thing Liu Jin said is right, disposing of Liu Jin in this matter means giving in to Wenchen, which will only make this group of Wenchen more arrogant in the future.

This is by no means what Brother Shou is happy to see.

As for Yang Yuan's death, it is said that he is forty years, but in fact he is forty-eight or nine, nearly half a hundred years old, and it is not strange that he can't stand the cane punishment and dies. It may not be that Liu Jin is ruthless, and it may not be that someone outside deliberately murdered him.

The biggest reaction to the courtiers is insulting Sven, and Brother Shou will ignore it, he wants to be humiliated, do you have to save face with him when he hits the board! A villain who criticizes the emperor's family affairs, where is Sven, and even more Sven!

Brother Shou waved his hand and said, "You should tell the old gentlemen in the court what you said." Let's go. ”

Liu Jin's heart was completely put into his stomach, and after kowtowing again, he got up to serve the little emperor, and his heart said that Jiao Fang's head was really not given for nothing.

Thinking about how the court will deal with it tomorrow, since the emperor asked him to say these words to the old ministers, he had to think about how to say it to the old ministers. Of course, this is also due to the people gathered by Jiao Fang and Jiao Fang.

There is also the newly voted Li Qi, who is also obedient and married Yang Tinghe. It's a pity that Yang Ting and his daughter were married early, and the marriage of this daughter is not stable enough. However, at present, he is not in a hurry to subdue Yang Tinghe, just let him stand on the dry shore.

After all, Yang Tinghe has a very high status in the little emperor's heart, and which side he stands on may have a great impact on the battle situation.

Liu Jin thought about it again, since Li Qi was so knowledgeable and interesting, his brother Li Jun could also move his position. I heard that Zhang Yuanzhen is dying, but he is not on the table yet, hmph, when this old thing dies, the vacant position can be changed again.

So, this night, Liu Jin's private house was brightly lit until the second half of the night.

The next day, Liu Jin was in good spirits and ready to fight the Confucians.

It's a pity that the rhythm was disrupted by Brother Shou's decree again.

First of all, Cui Gao begged for salt to lead the matter, and Li Dongyang, the cabinet elder in charge of the household department, proposed that half of the price of silver and half of the salt be introduced.

The people in the court could not help but interpret it as a concession and compromise of the little emperor, after all, under the staff of Yang Yuan's death, many people thought that such a young emperor should be uneasy.

More people believe that since the emperor has the intention of retreating, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue!

However, just when the imperial history, which had a lot of words to play, was ready to come out and deal a heavy blow to the officials with Yang Yuan's affairs, another holy decree was issued.

The emperor rejected the day before yesterday, Li Xi, the imperial history of the Thirteen Provinces of Nanjing, impeached Wang Hua, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, for bribing the sick in the name of the first person in the Ten Incidents of the Disaster and Strange Article Chen, and did not accept Wang Hua's self-defense, saying that the matter was in vain, Wang Hua did not need to defend himself, and did his duty wholeheartedly, and gave the crown and uniform with the daily lecture!

Ten things were played in this excerpt, and three eunuchs were impeached, and twenty-four civil ministers were impeached...... It's not just Wang Hua.

But the emperor only rewarded Wang Hua and gave him a crown and clothes!

This is a very clear signal!

Although Wang Huali gave a reward, and even resigned, he expressed his uneasiness because of what the speaker said.

The emperor's attitude is more gentle, and he even said that Mr. was a speaker of his father's first dynasty, and now he is speaking for me, and rewarding the crown and uniform is really an old classic, and there is no need to resign.

All the imperial historians looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on the three elders.

In fact, everyone also understands in their hearts that the emperor is a "fresh move" - whenever there is a disagreement with the cabinet, he will sacrifice Wang Hua, a magic weapon, to demonstrate to the cabinet. In the end, it will certainly be some kind of compromise with the cabinet.

It's just that this time, this "wolf is coming" is particularly real.

Because, at the beginning of last month, Zhang Sheng, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, had just taken a leave of absence from illness, and the emperor only warmly said that he would be allowed to recuperate, but did not allow him to become a minister.

But when it comes to recuperation, it is just a matter of one sentence.

This time, as long as the emperor Nunuzui and Zhang Sheng are consistent, it is logical for Wang Huasheng to re-enter the cabinet.

Everyone muttered in their hearts, but they all stood still, let's see how the bigwigs react first, in case Wang Hua enters the cabinet...... This and this, don't be the rafters.

Liu Jin also looked at the faces of the three pavilion elders with great interest, although because Wang Hua refused to enter his door, he didn't want Wang Hua to come out, but the lesser of two evils.

He smacked his lips, thinking in his heart that Wang Hua had always had a bad relationship with Liu Jian, and it was not once or twice that the old man of the Third Pavilion had blocked him from entering the cabinet, how could Wang Hua not have resentment. At this time, wouldn't it be good if Wang Hua could really be allowed to enter the cabinet to fight with these three old guys!

As a result, Yang Yuan under the death staff seemed to be forgotten by everyone in an instant, and no one mentioned this stubble anymore, and the thoughts of the adults who had been up and down in the sea were all focused on high-level changes.

However, the three pavilion elders did not move, and there was no expression on their faces, until they retreated.

Back in the cabinet room, Liu Jian suddenly said: "If the emperor wants Wang Hua to enter the cabinet, why should the old man push him." ”

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang never expected to hear Liu Jian say this, and subconsciously, both of them frowned.

Who would be happy for someone to come into the cabinet and divide their authority? What's more, it is a figure who is Jane in the emperor's heart. This person also has a promising son who serves as a squire in the Nanjing Military Department! He returned to Beijing in Nanjing, and the father and son joined forces, and where was there a place for others to stand.

The two also wondered, they did not have any grudges with Wang Hua, but Liu Jian had a deep grudge with Wang Hua, and since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the first emperor repeatedly mentioned that he wanted Wang Hua to enter the cabinet, but Liu Jian rejected it coldly. Both of them couldn't figure out why Liu Jian suddenly said this.

Liu Jian didn't look at the two of them, but his eyes looked through the window lattice, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, and lowered his voice and said coldly: "These days, many people have said to the old man that Liu Jin is a rampant thief, and he is known as Wang Zhen. Although I don't know whether it's true or not, the old man looks at his behavior and is almost the same. This fang is determined to be Wang Zhen, but today it is not as good as the Ying Temple, but there is no brother! ”

This is a great rebellion.

Shocked, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang couldn't sit still, Qi Qi stood up, and said in a low voice: "Shoufu!" ”

Liu Jian almost gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "The first emperor was about to collapse and I waited for a big deal to do it, and now that the mausoleum has not dried, there is a good fortune." What face do we have to see the first emperor under the nine springs! ”

His old face was full of decisiveness, "The old man is not a lie, in order to protect the country, Liu Jin must be punished first!" We can't do it again! Didn't the emperor trust Wang Hua? The old man pushed Wang Hua into the cabinet, and saw that Wang Hua also criticized Liu Jin, and the emperor didn't believe it! ”

Xie Qian said in a low voice: "Shoufu, why don't you wait for Wang Yue, Fan Heng, and Xu Zhi to ......."

Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "If they have a way, they won't come to the cabinet." Although Wang Yue is considered loyal, he still has to compromise with the emperor and plot to drive Liu Jin to Nanjing, which is obviously because they can't fight with the celebrant supervisor, but they want to borrow a knife to kill people with the power of the cabinet, hum! In the end, he is a lieutenant official, and he only has such a vision, and he is not enough to conspire. And in the end, the lieutenant cannot be trusted. ”

"It is true that the lieutenant cannot be fully used." Li Dongyang sighed and said slowly: "Wang Dehui (Wang Hua's character) will not fail to see the danger of Liu Jin's thief, and when he puts the overall situation first, he will inevitably speak with us." ”

At this time, for the cabinet, it is also the lesser of two evils, that is, it is better to let Wang Hua enter the cabinet and divide power than to let the traitor accompany the king.

As Liu Jian just said, if he is really instigated by Liu Jin to do another change in the civil fort, the little emperor is a brother, and no brother can go to the throne to block it first!

Seeing this, Xie Qian also nodded slowly, and said to Liu Jian: "I will go to lobby Wang Hua and impeach Liu Jin together." ”

Liu Jian was willing to push Wang Hua into the cabinet, and he would never come to the door to talk to Wang Hua about the same book.

Xie Qian and Wang Hua did not have a bad relationship, and the relationship between the younger generation was quite close, so this lobbyist had to ask him to come.

He paused and sighed, "It's a pity that Wang Shouren is far away, otherwise his father and son will jointly write a letter, and the emperor will pay attention to it." ”

Since Wang Shouren's two victories in suppressing bandits, his status in the emperor's eyes has been rising steadily, and the cabinet is also clear.

Liu Jian said with a calm face: "Not worse than him." At that time, hundreds of officials will be ambushed, and the eunuchs will be executed! It will live up to the trust of the emperor! ”

*

Don't say that the cabinet is talking about Wang Hua's father and son, as soon as the holy decree came out, there are not many yamen and eunuchs in the capital, and many officials and eunuchs are talking about Wang Hua's father and son.

And Brother Shou is also talking about Wang Hua's father and son, but he is not in the palace. Instead, it was outside the palace in Yongfang, Zhang Hui's private residence.

Since the construction of the West Garden began, Zhang Hui, who is quite flexible, has pondered about getting a house near Zuo, but the British government has not divided the family, and there must be no private property, so this house has not crossed the clear road.

It wasn't until Zhao Tong married in that the house fell into Zhao Tong's name in the name of dowry, and it began to be renovated openly.

Now this renovated house has also become a foothold for Brother Shou to leave the palace.

Shen Rui was naturally recruited here.

Brother Shou smiled when he saw him: "But I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you have been back to the city recently, and you are no longer in the village?" I was still thinking of running with you. ”

Shen Rui said with a smile: "Emperor Xie is worried that it is the relatives of the clan who have entered Beijing, and Rui always has to go back to the house to accompany him." ”

However, after Shen Jin's stepmother Xiaohe went north, various families in the Shen family also sent representatives to Beijing, not only to participate in the wedding of Zhuang Yuanlang, but also to participate in Shen Cang Daxiang. Shen Rui naturally can't stay in the village anymore, and always has to go back to the house to entertain guests, especially this time the fifth room is Shen Ying came over in person.

In July, Xiaoxiang, the eldest man of Wufanghong, because the Shen family had just won the lawsuit at the beginning of the year, received a large piece of land and won the name of tribute, it was not appropriate to publicize it too much, and this anniversary festival was very low-key.

Shen Ying and Shen Qi wrote to Shen Rui not long after winning the lawsuit, asking Shen Zhou to Shen Li, Shen Jin, Shen Rui and others in Beijing not to go back.

After Shen Rui and Shen Li discussed, they decided to listen to Shen Ying and did not go south.

After July, the situation in the court was changeable, and the Shen family and the Lu family joined forces to manage Shandong and Liaodong affairs, so Shen Ying decided to go north in person, taking the opportunity to participate in the Shencang Daxiang Festival, and also contacting old friends in Beijing to see the situation.

Shen Rui felt deeply sorry for not being able to go back to participate in the anniversary festival of Lord Hongda, and he was a little reluctant to go, so Shen Ying came here, and he also gave a spiritual reception.

As for Xiang'anzhuang, Yang Tian was also taken back to his home by Yang Shen and his wife.

Yang Tinghe finally promised his second daughter Yang Yue to Li Yi's sister-in-law, and the Yu family still did not let go of Yang Yue in his name. After the marriage, the Yu family detained Yang Yue in the backyard in the name of embroidering the dowry, and Wang Yan listened to the letter and took Yang Tian back with confidence.

Every day, my sister-in-law is relatively comfortable, and Wang Yan even teaches Yang Tian to be a housekeeper.

In this way, it is better than Yang Tian being alone in the village to reassure Shen Rui, just thinking of the time spent in the village, Shen Rui can't help but regret that before getting married, he is afraid that he will never be so intimate with Tian'er again.

Brother Shou listened to Shen Rui say this, and thought that it would be Shen Cang Daxiang soon, so he comforted Shen Rui a few words, and remembered that his father was coming, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Then he praised Shen Rui and said: "I have heard that you have done a very good job in the matter of military uniforms, and you have really lived up to my expectations." If there were more faithful people like you, who don't care about gains and losses, I would have peace of mind. I should reward you for that. ”

Because when the Songjiang cotton cloth paid by the Shen family arrived in Beijing, the treasury was empty, and the inner court did not settle for the time being, and Shen Rui also knew the situation of the treasury, so he quietly did not receive this batch of cloth in the name of Brother He Shou's wedding.

Brother Shou also received his heart, but he wanted to make up for him, so he gave him the fat errand of the military uniform.

Originally, Brother Shou planned to open one eye and close one eye, and let Shen Rui get some silver to make up for the cloth.

I don't want feedback from all parties, but Shen Rui is not opportunistic, and the thick cotton clothes made solidly, after delivery, from the military department to Liaodong, there is no place that is not boastful.

It can be seen that he is honest and honest, and he is not dull - Brother Shou often wanders outside the palace, knows the disadvantages of the upper and lower levels, and knows that it is impossible to praise him like this if he doesn't do it.

Thinking about the previous statements made by Shen Rui, and then looking at the civil and military affairs handled by Shen Rui, Brother Shou unconsciously regarded Shen Rui as a confidant in his heart, and he only felt that he could be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Shen Rui hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to the emperor, and it's the first time I've taken over such a major event, so I thought about it a little more, so as to live up to the emperor's high expectations." It is also thanks to the help of my master, Wang Huawang, and the help of several adults in the military department for careful guidance, so as not to disgrace his life. It was a duty, and it should not be generously given by the emperor. ”

This is the first time that Shen Rui has taken over the military business, and in his previous life and this life, he hated those who made the country difficult to make money with shoddy goods, so he was determined to do a good job in this batch of military uniforms.

is disgusted with Liu Jin from the bottom of his heart, but he also knows that it is a fool's dream to seek fairness without dotting the world in this way, so through Zhang Yong's channel, he first dotted the palace up and down.

Then he asked Wang Hua for help and looked for someone from the military department to guide the various precautions in the production of military uniforms.

Wang Shouren was in the military department in the past, and he had some good colleagues, and now Wang Shouren Jian is rising step by step in the emperor's heart, and his former colleagues are naturally willing to sell face to help him form a good fate.

The outside is properly tied, and the military uniform is handed over to Shen Yu to be fully responsible. Shen Yu was born as a grain chief in Songjiang, and he knew the disadvantages of the people under him best, and he checked at all levels, and no one could fool him. Therefore, the materials used in this batch of military uniforms are very solid, and the spot checks are extremely strict, and in the end, they are naturally the best products.

The thing itself is a good thing, and the generals of the Liaodong Zhulu Army are even more praiseworthy because of the relationship between Deng Zhang, Cen Zhang and Shen Rui.

Feedback back to Kyori is such a situation of rave reviews.

This time, the silver didn't make much, but it earned a good reputation, and it was worth it.

Brother Shou saw that Shen Rui didn't take credit, so he couldn't help nodding secretly. Because Wang Hua was mentioned, he praised: "Wang Hua's father and son are really loyal to the king, and there is no one more virtuous and capable than this." He also mentioned the classic battles of Wang Shouren in Nanjing to exterminate the bandits.

As he spoke, he remembered the impeachment of the DPRK, and the corners of Brother Shou's mouth drooped again.

Brother Shou usually has to put on an unfathomable and serious face in the court, especially after the wedding, he has to look more and more calm, but he is still a teenager in the end, and in front of Zhang Hui and Shen Rui, who is close to his partner, he no longer bears his temper.

Because of indignation: "It would be good if everyone was like you, like Wang Hua, like Wang Shouren, and so down-to-earth." When I think about it, I get angry, that Li Xi's excerpt impeached twenty or thirty people! Beijing, Nanjing, Datong, Guangzhou, Guizhou, Shilang, Shaoqing, Du Yushi, and five local prefects, tsk, it's hard for him to collect these people from all over the world! There is no clear evidence, and the empty mouth and white teeth say that people are guilty and should be dismissed, hmph, he is the only one in this court who is competent?! ”

He paused, and said sarcastically: "It's really competent to impeach so hard." ”

Shen Rui and Zhang Hui exchanged glances with each other.

Shen Rui already knew the content of Li Xi's recital, and Zhang Hui came to discuss it with him - just because not all of the ten things that Li Xi played were impeached officials, and the fourth article was related to Zhang Hui and other noble children.

This fourth article is to reserve the general's materials to boost the might, that is, to send the descendants of the two Beijing princes and uncles who are more than 15 years old to the martial arts school to learn the art of war and tactics. When he attacked the lord, he needed to test his martial strategy, and if he was qualified, he was allowed to attack the original lord. Otherwise, if you give half a salary and continue your studies, those who fail to study for three years will be demoted.

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty were divided into the Jingwei Martial Arts and the local guards, and the Jingwei Martial Arts was originally established for the education of the children of high-ranking military attachés. It's just that it has been abolished and reformulated several times, and it was not until Xianzong ascended the throne and rebuilt it again that it was considered stable.

In the ninth year of Chenghua, he ordered that "all martial arts officials should be given preferential treatment, and the rest of the younger brothers and nephews over ten years old should be selected and sent to study martial arts by the school style officials." ”

Therefore, most of the children of the military generals in Beijing have learned from martial arts. The same is true for Zhang Hui and Zhao Hongpei.

During the Chenghua period, he was a direct official who was proficient in strategy and skilled in bow and horse in martial arts; When he arrived in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he made those who had achieved academic success send them to the martial arts examination.

However, most of the sons of the nobles are still in a position.

However, with the passage of peace, in today's Beijing, the children of military generals have already begun to transform into gentlemen, and martial arts have gradually become abandoned. Many children are also false stories even if they go to martial arts, and there are many who can't memorize the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" after three years of enrollment, and there are also those who skip school halfway.

Therefore, this time, although Li Xi's mention is only aimed at the children of Chengjue, it is also for martial arts.

In view of the strict evaluation of the children of Chengjue, it is nothing to the top noble families such as the British Mansion and the Wujing Bofu that are still active in the court, and a family of top military generals like Gain may be pulled to the battlefield at any time, so the children practice martial arts, are skilled in bows and horses, and have a solid foundation.

And because he is still active in the court, many of the sons of Chengjue have real positions, and they are still relatively weak in the Jinyi Guard, such as Zhao Tong's eldest brother Zhao Hongze, the son of Wujingbo, who belongs to the avant-garde of the government army, and can be regarded as a strong general.

But for many declining noble families whose ancestors are not as beautiful as the generation, the children are too different, and there are many people who go to martial arts to make a living, not to mention those who can't pull the bow, and there are not many who can ride a good horse.

And in this way, it refers to the noble family who lives with a knighthood, and they can't raise good sons, which is a burden to the court.

If you can take this opportunity to urge the sons and daughters of the nobles to be motivated, it will be a great thing, and those who do not seek to be motivated will just be demoted to the rank of lord, and the disguised reduction of the lord will also save the court money.

The left and right are beneficial to the imperial court, and this move must be supported by the military department and the household department.

The top nobles are not afraid of the exam, and those who are afraid of the exam have no say in the court, and there is no resistance in the court, and this matter is to be approved.

The only variable is that the little emperor saw that Li Xi had impeached too many people, and the first excerpt said, "Please prohibit the ejection of eagle dogs", and he was dissatisfied with him, and then refuted his entire recital.

Zhang Hui came to Shen Rui to discuss, and he wanted to push this matter to pass quickly. And, if possible, expand the scope of the assessment.

Martial arts itself is not only to educate the children of military generals, but also to conduct a certain amount of training for active officers, but this training is more loose than teaching children. There are many people who have official positions, and they don't know how to learn, and they still have family learning roots, and they even look down on martial arts.

Serious martial arts discipline is naturally a good thing for a hard-working person like Zhang Hui, how can he show his ability without taking the test?

And the generals screened out in this way can survive on the battlefield in the future, which is better than a pig-headed general with a whole team of people.

Zhang Hui also didn't want to be a pig teammate on the battlefield in the future, and he was not defeated by the enemy, but was dragged down by the friendly army.

"Your Majesty, I heard about Lord Li Xili's recital." According to the agreement with Zhang Hui, Shen Rui spoke first: "In my humble opinion, I think that Lord Li Xi's impeachment part is certainly biased, but the other articles are not without merit. ”

Brother Shou raised his chin slightly, squinted at Shen Rui, and sneered: "Are you talking about martial arts or exams?" Mo and I said that it was the salt method. ”

Li Xi's 10 remarks cover a wide range of issues, in addition to the deposition of deposition and the reserve of generals, strict examination courses, repetition of chapters, the Qing army, the ban on patrols, and the salt clearance law are also among them.

Shen Rui saw that his expression was relaxed, so he also smiled and said: "I only know how to eat salt, where do I understand the salt law, how dare I say anything!" ”

Brother Shou laughed, clapped his hands and said, "You are self-aware, but you are much better than some old gentlemen." ”

Shen Rui laughed dryly twice, and said, "What I want to say is martial arts." ”

"Isn't that what he mentioned?" Brother Shou nodded his jaw and Zhang Hui, "Why are you mentioning it?" ”

Zhang Hui made that sad face and said, "He is faster than my mouth." ”

Everyone laughed again, and the laughter gradually stopped, and Shen Ruicai said with a straight face: "I have presented to the emperor before that I want to set up a academy that teaches people agriculture or industry and commerce, and I also want to open up the wisdom of the people, so that the people can make a living more, and the country can also have more taxes." ”

Brother Shou also stopped laughing, nodded frequently, and motioned for him to continue.

"This time is also a coincidence, after listening to Master Li Xi's recital, I feel that martial arts is also promising." Shen Rui pointed at Zhang Hui and said, "I didn't know the situation in martial arts, so I asked Second Brother Zhang." The two of us talked about it, and each had some experience, so I wanted to play the emperor and ask the Son of Heaven to judge. ”

After that, Shen Rui talked to Brother Shou about the ideas discussed with Zhang Hui, the reorganization of some basic assessments in martial arts, and the ideas he knew from his previous life about dividing classes according to the level of students and adopting different teachings, conducting field exercises for the whole army, and exchanging some martial arts students to the nine sides for practical training.

Brother Shou was originally fond of martial arts, so he listened attentively, stopped from time to time, and thought for a moment before letting Shen Ruizhang continue to speak.

When he heard this, he also arranged a review of the army and other items for him, and he couldn't help but smile, and praised him again and again, and he was already very appreciative in his heart.

"There was originally an expenditure on martial arts, but it is expected that the current situation of the treasury will have many major events to spend, and I am afraid that it will not be the turn of martial arts.

"If you do well in the exam, you can be rewarded with a gold medal as encouragement. Those who have been evaluated for three years will naturally be given priority. If there is a person who does not want to make progress or is passive and sluggish, it is better to fine a certain amount of silver as a punishment.

"As for those who refuse to change their ways, or those who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they will be swept out of martial arts, and the attack will be demoted or the attack will not be approved, or their father and brother will be demoted, and a certain amount of money will be confiscated to subsidize martial arts. In this way, even if the people are encouraged to work hard, the treasury will not subsidize much money. ”

Brother Shou paced around a few times, nodded frequently, suddenly patted the back of the chair on the side, snorted, and said: "This move is very good, hum, if you want to ask Jinyiwei for an errand in the future, you will go to the martial arts school to roll first, and if you have a bad evaluation, you still want to be an official, and there is no door!" It also saves this group of stupid people who will not do anything to ruin the reputation of the brocade army! ”

Shen Rui and Zhang Hui knew that what he said was aimed at Shouning Hou Jianchanghou asking for officials from his in-laws, when Shouning Hou's in-laws and Sun brothers bullied Gao Wenhu in Jinyiwei, or Shou Ge stood up for Gao Wenhu and taught the two brothers of the Sun family a lesson. This incident made a lot of noise and alarmed Emperor Hongzhi.

Both of them looked away, unable to answer.

After a while, Brother Shou changed the topic, and his expression was proud, because he said: "Those who are evaluated in martial arts must also be good seedlings, and if they are placed in the Twenty-six Wei Army, I can rest assured." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu set up 12 guards and pro-army, and later added 10 guards when he became an ancestor, and 4 guards were added in the Xuande Dynasty, and finally became 26 guards and pro-army. It's just that with the increasing power of the cabinet, many people say that they are directly pro-army, but they are also in the military department. Now the pro-army strength in the hands of the little emperor is far inferior to that in the early years of the dynasty.

The implication of these words is that if you can personally select the good seedlings of the imperial party from the martial arts to join the pro-army, in the future, this pro-army will still be the upper direct pro-army.

"That's right, those who have been screened by martial arts must be talented and worthy of important tasks." Zhang Huishen also knew the little emperor's mind and situation, so he pointed at Shen Rui with a smile and said: "They literati, after entering the palace test, the emperor appointed the rank, that is, the 'protégé of the Son of Heaven', now when the martial arts are completed, why don't you also invite the long-live master to come in person, so that we also have the name of the protégé of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Since he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, he is naturally a person of the Son of Heaven! and only listened to the Son of Heaven.

Brother Shou smiled with crooked eyes and praised again and again.

Shen Rui had no choice but to embezzle the experience of his previous life, and supported the completion document to be made of brocade, which was personally awarded by the emperor, and the emperor reviewed martial arts several times a year, personally awarded medals to outstanding students, and so on.

Everyone chatted for nearly two hours, and they were still not happy, but the time to return to the palace had also arrived, and Liu Zhong couldn't help but urge twice.

Brother Shou had no choice but to say no more, asked Shen Rui and Zhang Hui to sort out the slips, and pointed at Zhang Hui and said: "This matter, if you hand it over to the Ministry of War, you will be messed up, you have to watch it yourself." I'll give you the identity of a messenger, and I'll do a special job. ”

Although Zhang Hui received the order, he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am a junior and went to martial arts, and I only have the part of listening to training...... It's the Chin Cha...... I'm just afraid ......"

Shen Rui thought about the future situation, and wished that Zhang Hui would hide far away and not get involved, so he smiled and said, "If the emperor chooses another respected old-timer to be the main envoy, Second Brother Zhang will run errands and be a deputy envoy. ”

Brother Shou thought about it and couldn't help muttering: "Originally, Wang Shi was a good candidate, but now he is seriously ill, and he really can't go north." If you want to call Xu Jin (the secretary of the military department) to be this envoy, this matter will be completely returned to the military department......"

He frowned, and said suddenly: "Let's talk to Zhang Sheng and Wang Hua first, Zhang Sheng's body is not good, so let Wang Hua take more ideas, and Zhang will ask you to be more before and after." ”

Shen Rui and Zhang Hui were both stunned, it was normal to not want to be in the military department, but ...... This is equivalent to handing it over to the Ministry of Rites, this, this, I can't say it.

But if it's Wang Hua, it's cheap. And Wang Hua's relationship with the military department is still very good, and it is convenient to speak.

Brother Shou was in a good mood, waved his hand and said: "You also have to come up with a statement as soon as possible, and I want you to refer to the details in the future." ”

The two looked at each other, and they should say yes in unison.

Zhang Hui sent Brother Shou out first.

Liu Zhong took a step behind, not far from Shen Rui, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "It's been a storm and rain recently, so don't ask your family to come out." ”

Shen Rui's heart jumped, and he didn't know if the family he was talking about was Shen Ying who was now contacting his former colleagues outside, or if Shen Li, Shen Jin and others should not go along with which party in the court to write a letter of impeachment.

As the day of change is getting closer and closer, Shen Rui's heart is becoming more and more impatient, and today he just took advantage of Liu Zhong's warning to go back and talk to a few brothers, otherwise he really has no reasonable reason to convince a few people.

It's just that can it really be convinced?

It doesn't matter if Shen Ying is not in the court, Shen Jin is Zhang Heling's son-in-law, and the Zhang family was very arrogant in Zhengde, so it doesn't matter if Shen Jin is there.

What about Shen Li, as Xie Qian's son-in-law, how could he stand up for his father-in-law?

And there is no such kinship, just on the matter, with Shen Li's upright character, when he encounters eunuchs who abuse power, how can he not write a book and give advice!

However, Xie Qian will soon be kicked out of the court, if Shen Li goes to the book with Xie Qian's party at this time, I am afraid that he will also be liquidated in the future......

Shen Rui suppressed the turmoil in his heart, took a deep breath, said thank you softly, and walked forward, staring at Liu Zhong's back for a long time, he couldn't help but whisper again: "The water is deep and the waves are fierce, and Uncle Shi should take care of himself." ”

I remember that scene, not only the courtiers were damaged, but also a group of people in the palace were purged by Liu Jin.

Liu Zhong is now by Brother Shou's side and has become a confidant, Liu Jin may not touch him for a while, but he is Xiao Jing's righteous son in the end.

Although Xiao Jing has left the palace to retire, he is not a threat to Liu Jin, but it is the palm seal of the former celebrant eunuch, and he is the great eunuch of Emperor Hongzhi Tuogu, Liu Jin is only afraid that he is also jealous, once he is in power, it is difficult to say whether he will wait for the opportunity to completely cut off the remaining people in his palace.

"Liu Jin ......" he unconsciously muttered the name.

Liu Zhong's eyes flashed with a fine light, he looked back at Shen Rui seriously, then smiled, patted him on the arm comfortingly, but did not say a word.

Shen Rui was stunned, and then lowered his eyes and smiled to himself.

After sending Brother Shou to the car and leaving, Shen Rui did not start to discuss martial arts with Zhang Hui, but said to Zhang Hui very solemnly: "Do you have a rotation in the palace recently?" If you can change shifts, you will go to the martial arts side to see the situation, so that you can think about it in the future. ”

Zhang Hui didn't know what he meant at the beginning, and said strangely: "There are three days on duty, although the shift change is completed, but the emperor's holy decree has not been issued, how can I run to the martial arts side......"

As he spoke, looking at Shen Rui's solemn face, he suddenly stopped his mouth, and asked in a very low voice for a while, "But ...... Liu?" His voice also disappeared, leaving only his mouth to indicate whether Liu Zhong had passed on some news.

It is also taboo to transmit news inside and outside the palace, so it cannot be announced.

Shen Rui nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Zhang Hui has been in Jinyi since he was a teenager and has followed Brother Shou, and he has also experienced all kinds of things in the palace, and he knows how to survive in the meantime, so he doesn't ask much.

Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in the former dynasty, and the palace is also average, Wang Yue and Liu Jin have been opposed for a long time, if Wang Yue will not do something when the foreign dynasty is impeaching Liu Jin, then he is not a person who can enter the celebrant supervisor.

Zhang Hui was persuaded twice by Shen Rui, and he didn't think about it at this time, so he took advantage of the chaos to clean up Qiu Ju. When the heart is really in chaos, it is better to dodge, and don't be injured by hidden arrows.

He nodded and said, "I'll be on duty tomorrow, and I can't change it now, so I'll go and exchange with someone tomorrow." And it's good to enter the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor to say a word, and there is a reason to go to martial arts. ”

It's a pity that he was one step too late.

*

The next day, Zhang Hui stayed in the palace, and was called by the little emperor to go to the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to talk, and was talking about martial arts, when he heard the small waiter outside to report to Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Qiu Ju and other eight people asking to see.

Brother Shou was also puzzled, just answered, and before he waved his hand to ask Zhang Hui to avoid, Liu Jin and the others came in crying and fell at the feet of the little emperor.

This time, Brother Shou didn't ask Zhang Hui to leave, his brows were tightly locked, and he gestured slightly to let Zhang Hui stand by his side.

Zhang Hui's heart was also beating suddenly, a pair of eyes stared at the few people who were crying on the ground, thinking about why everyone was like this, but they had plans to break out and hurt people.

However, everyone's faces are not like each other.

Zhang Yong has been lying on the ground, unable to see his face; Qiu Ju burst into tears, obviously moving some true feelings; Gao Feng was impeached this morning because of his nephew Gao Delin, and he was even more disgraced at this time; The rest of Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong are all like mourners.

Brother Shou did not sit down, but stood beside the desk with his hands in his hands, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jin slammed his head on the ground with a "bang", he hadn't been respectful to this extent for a long time.

When he looked up again, the corners of his forehead were already blue, and he cried hoarsely, and his voice was hoarse, especially his words were particularly poignant: "Long live the lord, Wang Yue actually colluded with the cabinet and wanted to take the lives of the slaves and maids, so as to cut off the wings of the long live lord and restrict your access!" Long live the Lord, what does the Flying Eagle Hound have to do with state affairs?! It's just the reason they are looking for! If Wang Yue and others are allowed to stay in the celebrant and collude with the cabinet in everything, how can the emperor's order get out of the palace wall! ”

Zhang Hui bit his lip tightly, but his eyes almost popped out.

And the tea cup in Brother Shou's hand has been brushed to the ground and shattered.

Outside the window, the autumn wind swept up and swept away half of the dead leaves.

The night is like ink.
