The sound of bells and drums in the imperial city not only reached the ears of every ordinary person, but also penetrated the heavy walls and gates, and entered the tightly guarded prison. ~Sui~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~lā Lu Jin's face was also moved when he heard the sound of the bell and drum, because he knew that this not only meant the opening of a new era, but also the arrival of the turning point of the Ming Dynasty.

In the prison, he seemed to be isolated from the world—even the cronies around him, Qinggele, Lin Lie, and others could not enter the prison to visit—but Lu Zhen still had some understanding of what was going on outside. After all, his identity is here, and the cell head jailer will always meet his requirements without violating the law.

For example, the earlier rout of the army at the hands of the Mongols, the fall of the Son of Heaven into the hands of the enemy and the capture of the new emperor, and the establishment of a new emperor this time, they did not hide it to Lu Jin, and also made his mood fluctuate with this one thing after another.

For the first two things, although Lu Zhen has been prepared in his heart, he still can't hide his sadness after hearing it. After all, this is the turning point after the Ming Dynasty has become strong for a hundred years, and the north may fall into passivity in the future. At the same time, he actually has a good impression of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, because he can achieve the position of the military department, and the emperor does play an extremely key role.

And now, Zhu Qizhen finally fell into a very difficult situation because of his wrong decision, which naturally made Lu Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.

But for the latter thing, Lu Zhen is quite happy to see it come to fruition. This is not only because the stormy Ming Dynasty needs a new emperor to lead everyone through the difficulties, but also because he feels that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change all kinds of shortcomings in the court today.

In the 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although it was already a prosperous world before Tumubao, in fact, under the cover of this prosperous wind, there were countless loopholes and problems - land annexation, parasitism of the clan, sea ban and erosion of the officers and soldiers of the guard...... Although each of them does not seem to be too serious, it is these hidden dangers that have always existed that have buried the last dynasty of the Han people in the end.

The defeat of the civil fort actually did expose part of the problem in a sense. However, the subsequent victory in the Battle of Beijing made people ignore it again, so that these poisonous sores became more and more serious, and finally led to the collapse of the giant of the Ming Dynasty.

If we want to change this established history, what we need to do is to cut out these poisonous sores one by one. However, the civilian clique in the DPRK and China is the root cause of all this, even if Lu Zhen has the heart and a way to solve the problem, he will be blocked by them.

And the root of all this lies in a series of policies set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang that seemed reasonable at the time, but were full of ills a hundred years later. Therefore, in order to achieve what he wants, Lu Zhen will face great resistance.

With his understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in more than two hundred years, there are several opportunities to change all this. For example, in the Yongle Dynasty after the success of Jingnan, with Zhu Di's prestige at that time, even if he wanted to overthrow all his father's policies, it was not too difficult; For example, in the early years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's series of reforms almost really allowed the Ming Dynasty to get revival and rebirth, but unfortunately in the end, people died and the government rested, and it was difficult to have results.

And now is the time when Lu Jin thinks he can change everything. Because Zhu Qiyu, the new son of heaven, naturally wants to do something since he has become the emperor, as long as the suggestions put forward are reasonable and beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely support it.

Plus the resistance at this time is the smallest in many years. Because those old people in the court, those vested interest groups have been buried under the yellow sand of Tumubao along with Zhu Qizhen. Most of the people in the court now are people who do not have a deep foundation and limited fame, and it is much easier to fight with these people.

Therefore, if we can put forward decent reform proposals at this time, we may be able to really succeed. This thought made Lu Jin's heart couldn't help but be agitated, just thinking about showing the benefits and disadvantages to the Son of Heaven above the court, and then devoting himself to this major event that changed the world.

However, Lu Zhen only thought so, and after coming back to his senses, there was only a sigh left. Because of the premise of all this, it seems that it is difficult for him to achieve, that is, to be able to stand in the court.

At this time, he was still in prison, and the crime on his body was such a big crime as collaborating with the enemy, how could he have such a chance again?

Thinking of this, the pride in his heart quickly dissipated, and his face became depressed: "Is this history really irrevocable?" Even if I've done my best......"

Just as he was sighing, a burst of eager footsteps sounded from the front of the corridor. This movement immediately caused many prisoners in the other cells to cry out again about their injustice, as if a few words could make someone acquit them.

In this regard, Lu Zhen naturally disdained it, so he leaned back, letting a ray of sunlight shining from the skylight above his head cast on his body. Since you can't do anything, let's make yourself comfortable.

Just as he was about to squint, Lu Zhen was suddenly surprised to find that the footsteps actually stopped in front of the cell where he was, and then the familiar voice of the cell boss sounded: "Lu Langzhong, Lord Lu, congratulations and ......congratulations" While speaking, there was a loud noise, but the big lock outside the cell was also opened.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something, and his face suddenly showed ecstasy: "Could it be ......?"

"Congratulations, congratulations, your charges are finally being cleared. Your Majesty has just issued an order to the Criminal Department, let us let you go, and at the same time reinstate your official position! Before Lu Zhen could turn his mind, the cell boss had already spoken, and at the same time he stammered up to him, taking the key and quickly helping Lu Jin untie the chains and shackles on his body.

Lu Zhen just sat on the ground, letting the other party do something, and he couldn't react for a long time. It wasn't until the restraints on his body were exhausted and his body was lightened that he was overjoyed: "This ...... Is this true? ”

"Look at what you said, my lord, how dare the little one coax you. Quick, please leave this filthy place quickly, the father-in-law from the palace is still waiting outside for you to take the order. This one hurriedly urged again.

Lu Zhen exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then slowly got up from the ground. It's just that when the footsteps moved, the body actually didn't obey the call, and I felt like I was drunk for a while, and I almost fell down. Fortunately, the cell boss next to him was prepared, and he quickly stepped forward to help him steady.

Lu Zhen understood that this was a habit of wearing shackles and shackles for several months, and now it was the sequelae caused by it, so he glanced at the other party with gratitude. The cell boss hurriedly smiled at him flatteringly, and then walked out with him, and whispered as he walked: "Lord Lu, if there was something to offend before, I hope that your lord will not blame the villain." The small one is also the responsibility......"

"You didn't treat me with disrespect, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Lu Zhen smiled and replied.

In fact, the prison guards of the prison of the Criminal Department have always dared not really use any means against those prisoners who are imprisoned in it, because the situation in the officialdom is changing rapidly, and no one knows whether these prisoners will be able to get out or even be reinstated in a blink of an eye. If you offend someone, turn your head, and it won't take much effort for someone to kill a jailer, cell boss, or something.

After walking from the prison for a while and coming to the second hall of the Criminal Department, Lu Zhen was finally able to stand up straight and steady on his own strength. So the cell boss said goodbye to him, and saw him enter the main hall of the second hall, where many scribes and others were already present, and saw a eunuch sitting in his upper hand, and a scroll of holy decrees was placed on the side.

Seeing Lu Jin's arrival, this person hurriedly got up, and while taking the holy decree, he preached in his mouth: "There is a will, and Lu Jin, the military department, will accept the order." ”

Lu Jin didn't dare to slack off, and quickly knelt down slowly, and the scribes around him even knelt down with hula, and many people looked at Lu Jin's eyes full of envy. can be released by the Son of Heaven himself, and Lu Jin's release from prison can be regarded as strong.

The eunuch immediately read aloud the contents ......of the holy decree in his hand - the format of this holy decree is actually varied, not every letterhead will be written "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says", only those quite formal and important decrees will use this expression.

In his subdued and frustrated reading, Lu Zhen realized that he was pardoned and released from prison because of the light of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the amnesty of the world.

But soon, he realized that things were not so simple, and he only heard the holy decree say: "...... Today, I found out that there was a soldier in the army, who was actually loyal to the court, but he was framed by Xiaoxiao and imprisoned. In order to show the fairness of the imperial court and the hearing of the officials and the people, the yamen of the Criminal Department quickly acquitted him and ordered him to come to the palace to see him as soon as possible. Chin this! ”

When the last few words came out, the eyes of everyone present looking at Lu Zhen had changed from envy to jealousy and hatred. As soon as this holy decree came out, everyone knew that he had won the trust of the new Son of Heaven, and in the future, this Lu Langzhong would definitely rise to prominence in the court, and he could be expected to be a great minister.

And Lu Jin, who was obviously stunned for a while, didn't expect Zhu Qiyu to come to such a hand. Presumably this is the virtue of helping him twice before repaying himself, which makes him look forward to the future in his heart.

At this time, the eunuch stepped forward again and said softly: "Lu Langzhong, hurry up and take the order." Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the palace to meet you. ”

After being reminded, Lu Zhen came back to his senses, hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and got up to accept this holy decree.

On the side, someone had already prepared a new red official uniform for him, and then led by a subordinate to the side of the room to freshen up a little, and changed into an official uniform, Lu Zhen turned back into the young and promising young man..
