Chapter 174

The news of the upgrade of the Jingshi Wei quickly spread throughout the Jingshi, because the emperor had issued an edict saying that the Jingshi Wei had made great contributions to the Banzhou counterinsurgency, so the promotion was specially approved, and he was only responsible for himself, and was no longer under the control of the Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division. Many people read a little from this news, not only did the Jingshi Guard not only not lower its status in the emperor's mind, but increased it; And Zhu Yidao, a thousand households in the Jingshi Guard, is likely to continue to win the emperor's favor.

So there were many people who were dissatisfied, but they couldn't say anything, at least the war exploits could not be erased, and everyone knew that before the imperial army went to Banzhou, it had been handled by less than 200 people from the Jingshi Guard and the wolf pack. Perhaps the average person will think that this is nothing, and a small place that can be done by 200 people is not worth the use of a large army by the imperial court; However, Shoufu Zhao Zhigao saw from here what others could not see, that is, the actual combat effectiveness of the Jingshi Guard.

For Banzhou, Zhao Zhigao still has a certain understanding, there is the hinterland of the Miao people, full of countless tribes of Miao ** size, the imperial court is because the situation here is too complicated, the folk customs are too strong, and can not exert their own ** influence, since the ancestors, this place has been in a state of anarchy, in his impression, maybe the Miao people in Banzhou don't even know who the current emperor is. A small team of less than 200 people, all of whom were Han Chinese, went deep into Banzhou, ** the local Tusi that had been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, and then the emperor appointed a civil official who had been mixed in the military attache team for a long time as the big Tusi, and implemented the reform of the land and returned to the stream.

What is it called? It's called the Arabian Nights.

Not only him, but many people don't believe in such a record, in other words, they don't want to believe that Zhu Yidao can still be alive. Zhao Shoufu has never been concerned about political affairs, but the Banzhou Rebellion some time ago made everyone noisy, and he could only come out and be scolded.

But the crux of the problem is not this, but the fact that this Banzhou rebellion has always been out of secrecy before the emperor issued a holy decree! That is, a while ago, the troops were openly transferred to Banzhou with great fanfare, and the cabinet also allowed it, but it was not the brigade that made the achievements, but a small team of less than 200 people! And this small team is also a mix of the Jingshi Guard and the wolf pack! What does the emperor mean by this? Do you want to play with my Ming's safety? A total of eight route armies, more than 100,000 people, retreated like this? All made wedding dresses for that small team?

The news of the successful counterinsurgency that everyone knows is not official news, but gossip. Zhu Yidao's ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and he has become a fairy-like figure in the mouths of storytellers in various restaurants and teahouses, and he is better than Zhuge Liang. But everyone didn't take it too seriously, there are too many folk legends, and if they were all taken seriously, they wouldn't be able to live that day. However, the emperor's decree clearly stated that the Jingshiwei was responsible for the counterinsurgency in Banzhou. What does this mean? This shows that the emperor remotely commanded them to quell the rebellion, but bypassed the court and cabinet in the middle! Even if it was a large-scale transfer of troops later, it was just a cover for them!

Zhao Zhigao thought of this, and many officials with relatively high IQs also thought of this! How could the emperor do such a thing, but he didn't discuss such a big matter with the ministers and hundreds of officials, but mobilized the troops without authorization, so what else do we want these people to do? What else do you want the court to do? The officials felt that the emperor had not only insulted his personality, but also his intelligence!

So a large number of recitals flew to the cabinet again, and this time the officials could no longer tolerate it! Since the emperor didn't take us in his eyes, he didn't take the court in his eyes, then let's quit, we can't solve the problem, so resign!

Zhao Zhigao looked at the high mountain in front of him, and several other people in the cabinet looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the large-scale resignation did not appear when the situation was at its most chaotic, but at the time when the battle had just been won. Abnormal, so abnormal. Although he doesn't seek merit as the first assistant, he also asks for no fault every day! However, this matter could not be left unhandled, so several people discussed it and went to negotiate with these officials separately. In Zhao Shoufu's heart, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been degraded too much, and they can't be degraded anymore, and the court will completely become an empty shelf if they continue like this! If such a situation really occurs, then he Zhao Zhigao will inevitably be scolded to death by the history books of later generations!

It's a pity that the officials didn't appreciate his affection. Since Zhao Zhigao took office, the government and the opposition have felt that this person is too soft, his attitude is too negative, and he is not worthy of being the first assistant; Wanli is actually not satisfied with him, but there is no way, someone has to carry the black pot for himself, right? So Zhao Shoufu reluctantly did it until now, which can be regarded as the end. It's okay if he doesn't persuade him, and once he persuades all the officials, they immediately concentrate all their firepower on him.

Behind Zhu Yidao was the emperor, while behind Zhao Zhigao was the high wall of the Taiji Palace.

Wanli felt that this person really couldn't do it anymore, so he asked everyone to recommend Shoufu. But the person who recommended it made Wanli overturn the table, and someone even recommended Wang Jiaping! Do you have to play me to death before you are willing?! He angrily found the name signed on the back of the letter: Gu Xiancheng.

Don't do anything, go home!

So Gu Xiancheng became the first civil servant to be fired in this incident. This made him famous all of a sudden, and countless people came to visit this first unlucky official, who was still Qin Mi's colleague. But Qin Mi is so shrewd, and he is just a nodding friend with this person, but in his eyes, Gu Xiancheng is definitely a very scheming guy, don't look at him on the surface He seems to be quite honest.

Since Gu Xiancheng was expelled, his younger brother Gu Yuncheng and fellow villager Gao Panlong also took the initiative to resign from their official positions. After the three of them went back, because there were too many people who asked to see Gu Xiancheng, they simply talked with these people every day, and more and more people participated. Gu Xiancheng saw that there should be a fixed place for this person, so he discussed with Gao Panlong: "We should find a fixed place to teach, it's not a matter of always fighting guerrilla like this." It happened that Ouyang Dongfeng, the governor of Changzhou, had a good relationship with him, so with a stroke of the pen, he found a place to repair it as a fixed place for lectures.

This place is in the east of Wuxi County, it is the place where the Song Dynasty scholar Yang Shi once lectured, it has been in disrepair for a long time, but it is still very good if it is repaired, since then, Gu Xiancheng and others have begun to lecture activities, and give this place a quite nice name: Donglin Academy.

After expelling Gu Xiancheng, everyone settled down. It's not because of anything else, Wanli has made another trick - to fine wages, and to deduct money. After all, everyone lives on a dead salary, even if they resign, they can still give a pension, but now everyone wants to ** Zhao Zhigao, beat him, and his salary is gone, not to mention any pension; The bamboo basket was empty, and he had to starve with it. No one does this and can't do it. The emperor has insulted our IQ and can't make him believe that we really don't have IQ. So the sudden rise of a wave inexplicably died down.

did not find a suitable candidate, and the officials below did not continue to make trouble, so Zhao Zhigao was originally full of joy and thought that he could finally get out of the sea of suffering, but found that he was still struggling in the sea of suffering, and he even had some disappointment, whoever joins me again, and I will take the initiative to resign, and I can stay away from the sea of suffering! How nice! It's a pity that reality is always contrary to dreams, and Zhao Zhigao has to struggle to survive.

Zhu Yidao was not interested in caring about the of the imperial court, until a sergeant in the Tianwei Station shouted loudly with a letter from his family: I can finally study! This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, why would a Qiu Ba be interested in reading? At the strong request of everyone, the sergeant read aloud his family letter, to the effect that there is a famous man in our hometown who has opened a academy, claiming that as long as there are people with lofty ideals, they can come to participate, and you should not be a soldier, see if you can retire and go to the academy to listen to the lectures of those scholars? That academy is in the east of our hometown of Wuxi County, called Donglin Academy. The jinshi said that no matter whether they are high or low, as long as they have a dream in their hearts, they can come.

Donglin Academy? Lao Zhu is a little familiar, but also a little vague, in short, a good thing, live to learn all the time! However, this letter to the family is always a little suspicious of pyramid schemes, what does it mean to have a dream in your heart to come? Jiang Fei explained that this academy was opened by a former official of the Ministry of Officials, named Gu Xiancheng, and now it is very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! When Lao Zhu heard the name "Gu Xiancheng", he couldn't help but be surprised! Isn't this the author of "The Peony Pavilion"? That's famous! But he never remembered why "Donglin Academy" himself felt familiar. When it was time to go to bed at night, Zhu Yidao suddenly thought of something, and jumped up from the bed at once!

Donglin Academy! It is the nest of the Donglin Party that brought down the Ming Dynasty! Speaking of the Donglin Party, Zhu Yidao still has some impressions that this party does nothing but one thing: infighting. Anyone who does not agree with their ideas will be removed from power; Anyone who is not on the same path as them is an enemy. Under the influence of such an extremely erroneous idea, the Ming Dynasty gradually declined in the later period, and finally exhausted his strength in the infighting! Thinking of this, Lao Zhu felt that this Gu Xiancheng was no different from the sect leader of **, if it weren't for the famous "Peony Pavilion", he would definitely not have any impression of this person.
