In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Ding Chou Lidong, the Ministry of War Jiubian Titang reported urgently, the former envoy of the Beijing Camp Festival, the nine provinces were inspected and moved to the nine provinces to control, and the prince Teng, who also held the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, recurred from the old injury in Miyunyi, and died of illness in Shunyiyi, at the age of sixty.

After the beginning of winter, this news passed through the newspapers of more than 2,000 post stations across the country, and spread to all the prefectures and counties of the thirteen political envoys in the world.

The prince vacated the throne with high power, at the beginning of the Jingying Jiedu history governor hundreds of thousands of Beijing camp troops, and then served as the nine sides, his cronies and henchmen, promoted countless protégés, and he himself is the spokesperson of the four major families, at the beginning, only Wang Ziteng casually on a capital protection, the dismissed Jia Yucun can come back to become the prefect of Yingtianfu, a prefecture-level city mayor, casually, its prestige can be imagined.

The death of Wang Ziteng himself is a signal of factional struggle, after the news of the death came, the Ministry of Rites and Ceremonies Shi Langzhong, the chief performer, Wang Ziteng "hard work and high achievement", please add a nickname, and agree on the funeral.

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle issued an edict to revoke the "Loyal Martyr" and "Renlie" agreed by the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet three times, and personally added the prince Teng's name as "Wenzheng".

This news finally set off an uproar in the government and the opposition! What an uproar!

You must know that in a dynasty for hundreds of years, thousands of officials, the highest level of civil officials is the word "Wenzheng", such as Fan Zhongyan, Fan Wenzhenggong, Zeng Guofan, Zeng Wenzhenggong, can be counted with both hands, and there are very few. How can those who oppose Wang Ziteng agree!

Although Wang Ziteng was also born in the two rankings of Jinshi, he supervised military affairs as a civilian, and it was understandable to add a civilian title, but the red-eyed opposition could not find anything wrong here, and they found Wang Ziteng's other sore feet, attacked, denounced, and beaten, so a civil official screamed, lifted the pen, and quoted scriptures and began to counterattack.

First of all, the Shaanxi Provincial Imperial History and Shanxi Provincial Imperial History of the Qin King faction were both impeached, and the total shortage of the three sides of Shaanxi was more than 25,000, and they sternly questioned the prince's greed for military salaries.

In order to seek self-preservation, Wang Ziteng's faction defended himself one after another, and the Jingying Governor's Office Experience Division, and even the commander-in-chief of Shangzhi's personal guard also exonerated Wang Ziteng, acknowledging the merits of Wang Ziteng's life, saying that "even if Wang Ziteng has flaws, he is still flawed."

In the fifteenth year of Yongle's heavy snow, Emperor Yongle changed his will, changed the prince Teng's name Wenzheng to be a loyal martyr, buried with marquis etiquette, opened the Chaoyang Gate of the East City, entered the Dashun Xianliang Temple, and ordered the Ministry of Rites and Rites Department and the Ministry of Officials to agree on the shadow of the descendants of the Wang family.

The emperor's signal of rising and descending made countless officials smell an unusual smell.

The Ministry of Officials Ji Xun Shilang played in the middle of the war, and the third son of the prince Teng died in battle, and asked whether to add the nephews, cousins and others of the other houses of the Wang clan according to the custom.

On the ninth day of November, Xu Youzhen, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, strongly opposed Wang Ziteng's burial according to the etiquette of a marquis, and secretly instructed the Qin King faction's Henan Provincial Imperial History, Gyeonggi Provincial Imperial History, and Military Department to impeach Wang Ziteng for appointing people to maintain relatives, forming parties for personal gain, befriending internal servants, and arbitrarily dismissing and killing senior military attachés, resulting in the waste of the military affairs, the cost of tens of millions of national funds, and his crimes can be punished! Not whipping the corpse is not enough to outrage the people!

Because the nine sides involved the Ministry of War, Da Sima, the assistant military counselor Chaozheng, and the secretary of the military department, Jia Yucun, defended the prince's letter, and was directly accused by the military department of forming a party for personal gain, and Jia Yucun was dumbfounded.

In the imperial history of Henan Province, he impeached Jia Zheng, a scholar in Henan, for "not being born as a jinshi, and there have been many shortcomings in the annual examination and township examination", and asked for a reduction in his post for the people.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Imperial History impeached Jia Zheng's protégé and sentenced Fu to try to embezzle funds from the Ministry of Industry. The imperial history of Jiangnan Province impeached Shi Nai, the governor of Jiangsu, the marquis of Baoling, and the governor of Caoyun, for having problems with the grain road.

Although the military department, the Jingying Governor's Mansion, and even the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Shangzhi Guards and the Twenty-four Yamen of the Internal Supervisor interceded for Wang Ziteng, they could not withstand the fierce offensive of the civil officials of the Qin Dynasty's faction.

Wang Ziteng originally supported King Qin, but as soon as he fell, the first person to impeach him was the King of Qin's faction.

This is the same as Cui Chengxiu, who was originally a eunuch, and the first to impeach him was also a eunuch, a person with political skills is very shameless.

Xu Youzhen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is such a shameless person, and Jia Cong can't compare.

Then, the people of the Yuwang faction and the Zhongshun Prince faction intervened from time to time, fanning the flames, adding oil and vinegar, watching the fire from the other side, and being happy to see it come to fruition.

Guanglu Temple, Taifu Temple, and Taichang Temple jointly accused the Xue family of the imperial merchant problem, and Qiu Bin, the governor of Jinyiwei, secretly added fuel to the fire and requested the removal of the Xue family's imperial merchant household registration.

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Jia Zheng, and Shi Nai harbored more than 100,000 taels of stolen silver from the Zhen family.

Emperor Yongle was furious, and reprimanded the prince Teng, reprimanded his sons and grandchildren, Jia Zheng, Shi Nai, and others, all of whom were dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

Under the political situation of the four major families being counterattacked, it is very dangerous for the Hanlin Academy to revise Jia Cong.

……

The inner city, the smoke bag sloping street, the snow is flying.

The flying goose feather snow fell on his oil umbrella and cloak, and he stood in the courtyard of Dai's father-in-law, although he was holding an umbrella, the whole person was piled up like a snowman, this person turned out to be Jia Cong.

"Yo, Jia Xiu is here, you are also a frequent visitor to our house, which blind slave is making things difficult for you? Why don't you go in and sit? Dai Quan came back in a sedan chair, secretly surprised, but he had already guessed why Jia Cong came.

"My father-in-law is in trouble, I am a state of etiquette, Chengmen Lixue, and I still know how to do it." Jia Cong endured the coldness.

When he compares himself to Yang of Chengmen Lixue, he is a metaphor that Dai Quan is the second Cheng of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and his sycophants are not unintelligent. Dai Quan Dayue, please come into the hall to drink tea: "Come on, Jia Xiuzuo has been frozen for so long, it is not suitable to roast the fire, take the ice cubes from the ice cellar and rub them for Jia Xiuzuo." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Jia Cong was so cold that he was covered in wood, got up, and sat down again: "The cabinet has always been short, and the father-in-law is the person next to the emperor. ”

"Xishan Zhao Beidou of Shimono, I hope to be bigger than you." Dai Quan smiled and said: "However, Jia Xiu has a bright future, so he lacks a qualification. ”

The little eunuch brought ice cubes, and Jia Cong rubbed them slowly: "I can earn this qualification, but I need my father-in-law to help." ”

Dai Quan's eyes began to stare at him faintly, and Jia Cong handed over a list: "After Shen Shi tonight, I will join the bus in the name of the leader of the Shanhai Alliance, the younger generation with the highest prestige of Youyan, and when the momentum is too great, I will inevitably suffer from the court staff." ”

"And the court staff, presided over by the Jinyi Guard and the Master of Ceremonies, I want these four people to die!"

Dai Quan's face was gloomy: "What is a book on the bus?" ”

"My Dashun raises people and shows talents to catch the exam every year, and the imperial court sends them at public expense, which is for the bus, and the joint scholars and some Beijing officials are for the bus."

"The cruelty of the court staff, the humiliation of the scholars, is unprecedented, don't do it, why did Jia Xiu do this strange trick and dangerous trick? Now the four major families are in danger, and if one is not careful, he will die in Huangquan! Dai Quan was puzzled.

"For self-preservation! Also for promotion and fortune! Jia Cong's eyes were red and he was short of breath: "Does my father-in-law know why those civil officials who are too high in terms of prestige and have great fame can protect themselves from death?" For example, Hai Rui, such as Luo Yuren, and Xu Jie, that is a good reputation! Once I became famous...... Even if you don't get promoted and get rich, it's enough not to die! It can also dispel the misunderstandings and hidden political blows brought to me by the four major families! ”

This man is a political lunatic! Dai Quan was curious: "What do you want to use as a reason to go to the book?" ”

"Don't worry about this! Have your own plans under it! Jia Cong was about to kneel: "Please also ask my father-in-law to help me, if he enters the cabinet one day, he will not dare to forget today's grace!" ”

"Oops! Get up, get up! Dai Quan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud.

……

Jia Cong tightened his cloak and walked out of the cigarette pouch diagonal street.

According to his plan, after today, Jia Cong's name will surely shake the world!

Whether it is life, death, wealth or humility, it all depends on this move.

As if facing the abyss, walking on thin ice.

……

Dai Quan opened the note and saw that it was the names of four people:

The officials are all given to Luo Min in the matter, Wei Wuzhi is given to the engineering department, Jiang Huajiao is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Xu Youzhen is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Each name will represent a human life tonight.
