For Yan Heng himself, he never thought that he would study hard for more than ten years to make a name for himself.

Anyway, I have a younger brother who will be a big official in the future, and it's good to be a squire with peace of mind.

Of course, because the system is there, he can also rely on the system to make a name for himself, but he doesn't want to fight to be a high-ranking official, which is really tiring.

Just to keep himself in the Ming Dynasty leisurely in the future, he can't let his younger brother Yan Song, who will be the first assistant in the future, become a traitor to the target of the public, after all, the traitor who offends the whole world will not end well in the Ming Dynasty at this moment, and he still has to rely on him.

Yan Heng saw that this old man was an official, the county order did not go to the countryside in these years, and the official who could serve this poor and remote country must be a good official, if he asked him to mention Yan Song or remember Yan Song, maybe he could also build a relationship because of this, and it would be helpful to Yan Song's character and career in the future.

After all, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and whether Xiao Yan Song is a traitor or a hero in the future is related to the people and environment he comes into contact with.

Now it's not a bad thing for him to make friends with people of good moral character.

Xiao Yan Song did not disappoint his brother Yan Heng, although he was only five years old, he was not shy at all in front of strangers, and he saluted the old man named Wang Zongguan without humility or arrogance.

The milk voice is milky, but it is very crisp and neat:

"Yan Song, the second son of Yan Zhun, a student in Fenyi County, Jiangxi, has seen the old man!"

Depend on! This little Yan Song is more polite and standard than himself!

Look, this simple sentence clearly tells his hometown, his family's political identity (his father is Xiucai), his family's ranking and name.

His own sentence "Hunan No. 1 Teacher" only has the element of pretending to be forced, and there is no valuable content.

This made Yan Heng feel ashamed secretly, and gave Xiao Yan Song a thumbs up with certainty: "You are very powerful, very sensible." ”

Xiao Yan Song smiled sweetly and touched his little head.

The old man Wang Zongguan saw that Yan Heng only admired his younger brother but belittled himself, and now he saw that his younger brother was polite and courteous and could give generous affirmation, so he had a good impression of Yan Heng more and more: "Okay, very good, brother is humble and respectful, Yan Zhun, a student member of this county, has taught two good sons." ”

Saying that, Wang Zongguan pointed at Yan Heng unabashedly: "Especially you!" ”

Yan Heng was puzzled by this, what's wrong with me, am I that good?

Yan Song is the first assistant in the future, and other people's early wisdom is not taught by me.

However, Yan Heng didn't bother to explain so much.

This old man named Wang Zongguan is still unsatisfied, and he is determined that although Yan Heng is young, he should have a lot of opinions about the current situation, otherwise he would not say such a bold statement as "studying for the rise of the Ming Dynasty".

Wang Zongguan, who was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, also had the intention of understanding public opinion, so he asked Yan Heng:

"Boy, the old man wants to test you, in your opinion, what is the current situation of Daming, and how should Daming rise again?"

Yan Heng was speechless, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old country boy, this old man named Wang Zongguan was really idle, and he came to me to discuss his state affairs.

Fortunately, there were no words around "don't talk about state affairs", and I also checked some information after crossing, and learned some about the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, and I also like to complain, so I said:

"Just now the old gentleman said that the paper paste three pavilions are old, and the clay sculpture is six books, but he didn't say another word, don't you know, the people of the world also said, 'Two capitals and twelve departments, there is only one Wang Shu!'

So now the Ming Dynasty is not as corrupt and rotten as you said, there is still righteousness in the DPRK, Zhongxing is imminent, and the prosperous feast is unknown. ”

Yan Heng didn't know if this old gentleman was unwilling, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the current imperial court, he should be regarded as an old and angry youth, and he also regarded himself as a little angry youth.

It is now the twentieth year of Chenghua, although Wang Zhi has left the center of power, but the minions of Dongchang are still rampant in the world, and he is a civilian, so he should be careful, but he can't blame the court like this old guy, of course, he can't flatter the court too much, saying that the peaceful and prosperous times are at the right time, otherwise it is not good to offend the old guy in front of him.

However, as soon as Yan Heng finished saying this, the handsome young man couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this time, the old man named Wang Zongguan also coughed a few times, smiled awkwardly, and was about to confess that he was Wang Shu, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, that is, the Wang Shu of the two capitals and the twelve departments, and the only Wang Shu, but Yan Heng suddenly said again:

"However, I think that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is not because there is still a person named Wang Shu, but because the scholars and doctors are not all rotten!

For example, like you, old man, although you are far away from the temple and have been relegated to this countryside to be a poor official, you are still worried about the world, which can be seen. ”

Yan Heng was very satisfied with his answer, which not only truly reflected his understanding of the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, but also did not slander the monarch, and even affirmed the old official in front of him.

It was perfect!

However, Wang Zongguan in front of him was already raising his eyebrows.

The handsome young man also snorted a little unconvinced: "What do you mean because the scholar doctor is not completely rotten, according to your words, the decadence of the world is all due to the mistake of the reader!" ”

"Why not, is it difficult to be a mistake for Da Ming today!"

As soon as Yan Heng's words came out, the handsome young man choked his mouth instantly.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, except for Hai Rui's officials who are not afraid of death or those who invite names, not everyone can casually accuse the emperor, after all, the emperor is the monarch's father, and the son does not say anything about his father's fault.

Therefore, this handsome young man had to point at Yan Heng angrily and couldn't speak for a long time: "You, you are strong!" ”

"Isn't it caused by eunuchs stealing power and messing with government, and mediocre ministers are in charge?"

Wang Shu was also a little angry, although he had the means, he was also a little angry when he heard that Yan Heng only blamed the scholars, after all, he was also a member of the scholar class, and he never consciously blamed his own scholar class for the decline of the government.

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, who occupy the most benefits in the world are the civil officials who are full of mouths or eunuchs, dare to ask whether it is the civil officials or eunuchs who occupy the most land without listening to errands and paying food, and dare to ask whether there are more civil officials or eunuchs who dominate the people of the world?

Sir, we can't bully others just because they don't have a lot of people, and we can't discriminate against others because they have physical defects, this is not right!

Since the beginning of the dynasty, the eunuchs with real power are only a few people such as Zheng He, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, etc., and it is unreasonable to throw the pot of the world's decline to the eunuchs.

And people are not blindly stealing power and messing with politics, Zheng He went to the West to raise the prestige of the country in thousands of miles, Wang Zhen Tumubao had the merit of pacifying the Southern Barbarians before, even Wang Zhi, who was recently degraded, also rejected the Tartars in the north, and leveled the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty for decades.

On the other hand, today's civil officials and scholars, there are a few people who are honest for the country, either they make money and make a fortune more ruthless than the eunuchs you say, or they sell their fame and reputation in the name of selling straight, and bluntly slander the saint, which is the merciful virtue of bullying the saint, and it is really disloyal and disobedient!

Let's just say that although Wang Shu is talented, he is also narrow-minded, and his ass only sits on the side of the scholar, and he does not take care of the emperor at all.

Every time he spoke out, he got a good reputation for loyalty to the country, but in fact he had no father, which also made some ministers learn to be ungentlemanly, bullying His Majesty's good temper today, and aggravating the party struggle of the Ming Dynasty.

A large group of officials who sell their fame take him as the center and use his name to slander the court, which makes the practice of the court delay a lot.

Fortunately, there are still many capable ministers who are committed to the country today, such as Mr. You, who are still worried about the country and the people even though they have been demoted, and the young scholars are not all selling direct invitations, and Li Dongyang and his ilk are still doing things honestly when they are obedient, so now the Ming Dynasty still has the image of Zhongxing because the scholars are not all rotten. ”
