On the official road in Shandong, a carriage was coming south from the direction of Gyeonggi, and the person sitting in the car was Wu Changshi, the first celebrity under Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Go to the net --.7-K--o-m. (.16b.) The word comes from, Zhejiang Xiushui people, a Jiaxing people.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), he organized the resumption of the society with eleven people including Zhang Cai, Yang Tingshu, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, and Zhu Kui, who were famous in the county. In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), he was a scholar, and the official was the head of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Xue Guoguan was impeached and removed from office by Wu Changshi for accepting bribes. Changshi was attached to Zhou Yanru, Chongzhen for 14 years, Zhou Yanru was the prime minister, and Wu Changshi was Wenxuan Langzhong. Chang Shi and Dong Tingxian were embarrassed and controlled the government. There was a imperial examination, and Zhou Yanru admitted many relatives and people who bought joints with heavy bribes, all of which were handled by Wu Changshi for Zhou Yanru. Zhou Yanru's younger brother Zhou Xiaoru and son Zhou Yifeng were openly on the list and had no scruples, so that the uneducated 'Bai Ding' and the businessmen who were full of copper smell all used bribes to get on the list. Greedy to such an extent, where is there still the law and discipline of the court in my mind!

This time, Wu Changshi came to Shandong, not for anything else, but for Song Youliang, who donated 300,000 taels of military salary. 9。 In the eyes of Zhou Yanru and his party, if you Song Youliang can donate 300,000 taels of silver to the military salary, then your family has at least one million dollars, and you have so much money, but you never honor Lord Shoufu, which is really intolerable.

When Wu Changshi came to Shandong, it was already June, and the fields on both sides of the official road were full of farmers preparing for summer busyness. As soon as Wu Changshi entered the territory of Shandong, he felt the difference. Groups of displaced people are rarely seen on the border of Shandong, and there are few wastelands overgrown with wild grass and uncultivated. Almost everywhere you can see the wheat waves in the fields and the endless stream of caravans coming and going on the avenue. The official road here is hard and flat, paved with a layer of gray ash that resembles stone and not stone. The carriage ran on it, fast and steady.

After entering Dengzhou, Wu Changshi was deeply impressed by the endless fields, the tall and majestic windmills, the endless canals, and the dotted Tuntian Tun Houses. 8。

Wu Changshi did not go directly to Dengzhou Mansion, but stayed in Laiyang County, and sent a message to Song Youliang side by side, "This official was ordered to come to check the money and grain, and ask the military to send the account books to Laiyang after they are ready." ”

Two days later, the Dengzhou Mansion really sent two large truckloads of account books

Wu Changshi was so angry that he dropped the cup on the spot, but after thinking about it, this Song Youliang is just a martial artist, can I be so angry for him? So under the pretext that the account books were incomplete, he asked Song Youliang to send it again

Two days later, someone from Dengzhou said that the account books had been delivered

"This vulgar martial artist who doesn't know what to do~" Wu Changshi finally couldn't help it, pointed to the nose of the person from Dengzhou and scolded: "Go back and tell Song Youliang that you will come to Laiyang to see the official immediately." If the time is missed, the official wants him to look good. ”

On the sixth day, someone from Dengzhou threw down a letter at the door of the post house, mounted a horse and left

When the post guard of the post house handed the letter to Wu Chang, Wu Changshi looked at it and saw Song Youliang saying in the letter that he was busy with military affairs and had no time to come to visit. 9。 Please check those account books as soon as possible, if you delay the military affairs of Dengzhou Town if it is late, you may not be able to afford it, Lord Wu

Wu Changshi's lungs were blown up, and on weekdays, he only needed a hint to send a lot of silver immediately, and now this unknown Song Youliang must give him some color to see, and kill his majesty. Otherwise, how could he go to Beijing to explain to Zhou Yanru?

"Okay~ If you don't come, I'll come~" Wu Changshi said indignantly: "When the time comes, I will give you a dismount in front of your subordinates, and see if you dare to be so arrogant in the future." ”

When he arrived at the capital of Dengzhou, Wu Changshi was shocked by the prosperity here. If I didn't tell you that this was Dengzhou Mansion, Wu Changshi would have thought that he had returned to the flyover in Beijing. "No wonder this lady is so rich~~" Wu Changshi muttered: "There are so many businessmen in Dengzhou, no wonder this kid wants to collect business taxes." 4。 However~~~Hmph~~" Wu Changshi sneered: "Just keep the money for me and Zhou Gelao!" ”

After that, Wu Changshi said to the bookstore next to him: "Go, ~~ Go and tell Song Youliang to meet the official." ”

"Obey the order~~" Wu Changshi's secretary hurriedly trotted all the way to the yamen of the city's general military office, and after a stick of incense, he trotted all the way to the meeting, he panted and said: "That Song Youliang, who doesn't know what to do, said, he has military affairs, and he can't get out, please take care of yourself~~"

"Hmph, give me a stinky shelf~" Wu Changshi was mentally prepared this time, "Okay~ I'll see how arrogant you can be!" Wu Changshi instructed the coachman: "Go directly to the yamen of the General Soldier's Mansion." ”

When he arrived at the yamen of the General Military Mansion, there was still no one to greet him. Wu Changshi was not angry at this time, so after a simple transmission, he did not wait for the return of the gate value, and took a big step into the General Military Mansion. 6。

After entering the gate, a few steps away is the lobby of the General Military Palace, on the left is the military pay warehouse, and on the right is the military room of the warehouse. There are some official halls under the hall. From a distance, Wu Changshi could see a young man in his twenties and a middle-aged man in his forties talking in the lobby.

Before Wu Changshi stepped into the lobby, Wu Changshi's secretary shouted: "Master Wu arrives when Wu Chang arrives in Wenxuan Langzhong~"

"Who's making a fuss?"

There is no salute, no sycophancy~~ but only a loud rebuke

Wu Changshi kept reminding himself to be patient, he suppressed his anger, and said to the young man: "I am Wu Chang in the Wenxuan Lang, and I invite your chief soldier Song Youliang and the supervisor Yuan Shu to come out to meet. ”

The young man replied, "I am Song Youliang~"

The middle-aged man replied, "I am Yuan Shu~"

"Oh~" Wu Changshi looked at Song Youliang, he only heard that Song Youliang was very young, but he had never seen it, he didn't expect the real person to be so young and handsome. 9。 Wu Chang raised his head at this moment, and planned to wait for Song Youliang to glance at him. Then gracefully ask him to get up. Unexpectedly, Song Youliang just bowed his hand slightly, and sat beside him

"Wu Langzhong came from afar, hard work~~ Please take a seat!" Song Youliang sat down by himself and casually pointed to a chair under his hand.

At this time, only Wu Changshi's heavy wheezing sound was heard in the hall, and he was about to put up a shelf in front of Song Youliang, but he didn't expect it. Song Youliang didn't give him face on the spot. Although there are no outsiders at the moment, but when this matter spreads, how can he still have face?

Suddenly, someone in the hall snorted angrily. He said loudly: "Song Junmen, you are a military general. How could you be so rude to Lord Wu? ”

Song Youliang raised his head and followed the voice, but it was Wu Changshi's secretary, he took a step forward, and angrily pointed at Song Youliang and reprimanded. 1。

Before the secretary's voice fell, I saw Song Youliang slam the table next to him, which made the tea cup on it rattle, and he shouted: "Presumptuous, I am the general of Zhengbei, Pingbeibo, and the general soldier of Dengzhou, and Wu Langzhong's grades are all below me, and I don't want Wu Langzhong to salute me, even if I am polite." How dare you talk to Shangguan like this? Do you know the dignity and humility, the etiquette of your officialdom, and the learning of the saints? After that, Song Youliang suddenly rushed to the secretary office with an arrow step, snapped~~ with both hands in front and back, and gave the book office two slaps hard

All this came too suddenly, Wu Changshi was stunned, and the bookstore was stunned. "Yuan~" Wu Chang was in a hurry and was about to ask Yuan Shu for help, but when he saw Yuan Shu drinking tea by himself, he pretended not to see it, so the words came to his mouth and swallowed back

Wu Changshi could only say: "Presumptuous, bastard who doesn't understand the rules, when will it be your turn to speak here?" Get out~~" The unlucky bookstore could only cover his red face and walk out of the lobby in gray. 7。 Indeed, he is not as good as Song Youliang in terms of grade, but he is a civil official, and in the current Ming Dynasty, the fourth-grade civil official is worth more than the total soldier from the second grade. However, this is the unspoken rule of Daming. Since it is an unspoken rule, it can't be taken to the table to be more serious. If you really want to be more serious, in terms of etiquette, it is unreasonable......

Wu Changshi sat down with his hands down, and said with a smile: "Song Junmen, this official came to check the money and grain this time, and found that there are many problems in the account books of Dengzhou~~" In fact, he didn't open the account books at all, these words are just a common routine when asking for bribes

Song Youliang was surprised: "Isn't Wen Xuan Langzhong in charge of the imperial examination?" When will you also be responsible for checking the money and food of each town? ”

Wu Changshi's patience was almost to the limit, and he said patiently: "This is personally appointed by Elder Zhou Ge~~ I hope Song Junmen can cooperate." After all, eating empty salaries ~ deducting military salaries is a matter of dampening the morale of the army. 2。 ”

"The official doesn't understand what it means~" Song Youliang continued to pretend to be confused

Wu Changshi snorted coldly: "Song Junmen's annual income is only one hundred and twenty taels, where can I donate three hundred thousand taels?" There must be something wrong with this, so Wu was ordered to come to investigate thoroughly. Wu Changshi said seriously: "Of course~~ Wu thought that there might be a misunderstanding in this~~ Some sufficient evidence is needed, or someone said good things for the military to dispel these misunderstandings!!! ”

"Do you want money?" Song Youliang blurted out

Song Youliang was so straightforward that Wu Changshi was stunned, he smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Song Junmen is really refreshing~~" After saying that, Wu Changshi stretched out a finger, "One hundred thousand taels, isn't it much?" ”

Unexpectedly, Song Youliang said coldly: "If there is silver, it is also mine, I would rather use it to fill the dog hole than give it to you corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" ”

"Okay~~ You have a kind!" Wu Changshi couldn't hold back any longer, he stood up suddenly, "Let's ride a donkey and read the record book~~ We'll see!" ”

"Don't send it~" Song Youliang said coldly

Yuan Shu looked at Wu Changshi's distant back, a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he smiled: "Wu Zhenfu, what Commander Luo asked for this time, is it all ready?" ”

"Of course~~" I saw Wu Mengming walking out of the darkness behind the screen, and there were two brocade guards standing behind him with paper and pencil in their hands, "Just now, his words and deeds have been recorded~~ He actually dared to ask for bribes from loyal ministers who generously donated salaries~" Wu Mengming smiled proudly: "I can't kill you this time?" ”

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself~~" Song Youliang sneered: "Zhou Yanru is a villain, and Wu Changshi is arrogant." 5。 In order to maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty, the brothers of Jinyiwei worked hard, and they actually wanted to abolish the factory guard, if there was no factory guard, wouldn't these corrupt officials be even more lawless? ”

"It's ~~" Wu Mengming's good impression of Song Youliang couldn't be overstated, and he smiled: "Actually, it's not just us Jinyiwei who want to clean up Wu Changshi. ”

However, it was said that after Wu Changshi served as Wen Xuanlang, he was in power. Whoever was used by Xue Guoguan tried every means to clear him out of the central platform and appoint his own group of people. The imperial court adjusted officials in February and August, and generally speaking, the superintendent of the imperial history transferred four people according to the old exception, but Wu Changshi transferred ten people at once, which made the imperial historians panic. Although the official character of the imperial history is not high, he is in charge of the center, and he is an official who supervises officials everywhere, and he is quite oily. Every year, you can fill your waist with salt patrols, and you have the right to impeach on weekdays, and when you have the opportunity, you can step into the sky, enter the cabinet, and become the pillar of the country. The imperial historians were indignant and came to the ministry to reason with Wu Chang.

Wu Changshi had already arranged the candidates, and even the rest had to be replaced gradually, and when he saw these officials coming to the door, he couldn't help but say with authority: "You are almost the same as you are waiting to catch it, so you can come and go, which is considered lucky." If I find out, I am afraid that it will not be so cheap to become an official in another place. ”

The imperial historians were furious, picked up a stool and smashed it at Wu Changshi.

Wu Changshi said fiercely while escaping: "You wait, I have to get rid of all you mongrels." ”

The imperial historians know that this is a narrow road encounter, either you die or I die. Therefore, all forces were mobilized to investigate the illegal and undisciplined behaviors of bribery, bribery, bribery, buying and selling official positions, and traffic attendants during the visit to Wuchang.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Luo Yangxing hate the request to abolish the Jinyi Guard Zhou Yanru, so he decided to join forces with the imperial historians to start with Wu Changshi. After investigation, it was found that he was a traffic attendant Li Duan, Wang Yumin's true evidence, and even the way of leaking secrets was found out clearly, and other crimes had their roots.
