As the saying goes, people die of heat after autumn, but His Majesty the young emperor still personally led the civil and military officials to the western suburbs on foot to worship the heavens, and according to the usual practice, ordered the Beijing camp, but there were many vacancies, and the young emperor was so angry that his face turned pale. The emperor expressed great suspicion, angrily brushed his sleeves and left, it is said that Wanli, who returned to the palace, almost dropped the unchanging oil cup that his brother-in-law got from Fusang, or the eunuch Zhang Cheng saw the opportunity quickly, grabbed it, but his hand was burned.

The officials were not interested in a eunuch who burned his hand, but they swarmed up and took the opportunity to attack Qi Jiguang in groups, the Beijing camp was subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Qi Shaobao was still holding the title of Governor of the Governor of the Five Armies of Yanjing, and he was really shot while lying down. In addition, it is Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the military department and the governor of Xuanda, he wrote to his nephew Zhang Siwei to cover up, and asked for resignation, at that time, the cabinet did not approve it for some considerations, and now, the cabinet first assistant Zhang Siwei went home to guard the system, this time, the cabinet was very happy to apply for Wang Chonggu, and finally let the old man go home to eat the old rice, and Qi Jiguang finally couldn't stand it, and wrote to resign, the cabinet did not approve it, but it was a paper order to transfer the Jiliao general soldier to the Guangdong general soldier, Qi Shaobao left gloomily.

In fact, Zhang Siwei as Zhang Juzheng's number one younger brother, his wrist is still very old and spicy, before he went home to Ding Wei and keep filial piety, he put a lot of close friends in key positions, such as the head of the military department Wang Xuan was promoted to the left waiter of the military department, and Yang Junmin, the governor of Shandong, was the right waiter of the military department, but, by virtue of the young emperor's autumn sacrifice point, the position under the buttocks of the left and right waiters of the two soldiers was not hot, and they were blown away, of course, in order to make the appearance less ugly, these two were nominally promoted, Wang Xun is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, Yang Junmin is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and there are many people who eat with Zhang Siwei and Zhang Ge, most of whom were kicked to Nanjing.

In short, Wanli was used as a shot by the officials of the DPRK and China, so as to complete the purge, the princes celebrated each other, Zhang Juzheng died, Feng Bao went to Xiaoling to plant vegetables, Zhang Siwei went home to guard filial piety, and Qi Jiguang went to Guangdong...... Those prominent people back then have now disappeared, and Wanli soon understood that he was used as a gun by the ministers below in vain, and the young emperor painfully realized the status quo, in terms of political skills, he Zhu Yijun is a big difference to those old foxes in the court, and even, Mr. Shen, whom he likes quite a lot, does not seem to be such a pure gentleman.

Although he also hates Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei who [ask Big Zhang for big things, ask Xiao Zhang for small things], but, as a monarch, the power of the hundreds of officials under him is out of balance, which is a very dangerous thing, which is why sometimes people in high positions obviously don't like a person very much, but they have to use him.

In desperation, he thought of the officialdom star, Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng, who was hated by people and gods, at this time Hai Gangfeng had been living at home for more than ten years, and he was very excited about the emperor's invitation, and wrote an excerpt overnight, which is the famous excerpt in history, "Please lift the Taizu method to peel the skin and grass and bend the law eighty times on hanging", the government and the opposition suddenly made an uproar, embezzlement eighty times is a capital crime, lying in the groove mud Malegobi, with your Haigang Peak this standard, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have to die.

Of course, these things in the court have nothing to do with Sun Yinglong, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, he has almost done the things that his uncle told him, and he is missing the last thing.

In fact, when he went to do this, he even couldn't believe his eyes, the edict of the dignified brocade guard, the old man in front of him could actually drink wine while reading a book.

This old man who drinks is amazing, his reputation is so great, even Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue have to call Mr. Yan, Daming called Mr., which means teacher, when the old man of the court wants to call him a teacher, it is understandable that such a person is good at eating and drinking in Jinyiwei's edict.

In fact, it is easy for the old man of Yanshan Nongyan to go out, you know, in terms of seniority in the world, it can be said that no one can compare to him, this has given lectures to countless civil servants and martial artists, according to the practice at the time, as long as he has listened to his lectures, that is his student, and he started from the grandfather of the current Wanli Emperor, Emperor Jiajing, I don't know how many times he has lectured, how many officials, nobles and scholars have listened to his lectures.

However, the old man stayed in the edict prison, but he didn't want to go out, in this world, even the air was filled with the smell of imprisonment, a person of his status, because he scolded Zhang Siwei, the head of the dynasty, was put into the edict prison, a court that can't tell the truth, is there any hope?

Jin Yiwei is a heavenly eagle dog, but, Zhang Juzheng's ten years of reign is the darkest decade for Jin Yiwei, the cabinet comes over casually, they have to do it upside down, and so Zhang Juzheng died violently on the woman's belly, Zhang Siwei became the cabinet elder, the commander Liu Shouyou stepped down, and Luo Sigong made the commander, but the ten years of Jiwei can not be removed overnight, many times, Jin Yiwei has an inexplicable fear of the cabinet, Yan Shannong scolded Zhang Siwei in this context and was put into prison.

But he didn't have a bad time in the edict prison, although last year when he scolded Zhang Siwei, someone patted him in, but there were more people to protect him, he actually didn't suffer at all, he read books every day, and he could drink some wine, and on time, he couldn't help but feel that this was not bad, because no one in the edict prison came to disturb him, and even did some article work in prison, quite happy.

Therefore, for the people who came, Yan Shannong didn't even clip his eyelids, and still held the book and watched it with relish.

"Sun Yinglong, the envoy of Weibei Town, Xiajinyi, has seen the old man." Sun Yinglong followed the instructions of his uncle and saluted the old man in front of him in a proper manner.

The old man sighed and put down the book in his hand, "What? What's the sky out there? Sun Yinglong was just about to speak, but the old man shook his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, let me guess." ”

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Yan Shannong slowly opened his eyes, "Is it Zhang Siwei Ding worried?" Now the one who is in power should be Shen Shixing! No, it should be Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, these two are so good that they can't wait to marry the same daughter-in-law. Sun Yinglong was taken aback, you know, this is an edict, ordinary people can't enter at all, if you want to visit the prison, there is no door, Jinyiwei itself also has a system, even if this old man has an identity, he has to keep silent about him, it is said that he can't know the news outside.

I don't know how many smart people are in Yanjing! Sun Yinglong sighed secretly, and said respectfully at the moment: "The old gentleman is serious, what he said is as if he saw it with his own eyes, as the old gentleman said......"

Yan Shannong waved at him, "You have to do it, don't come to me to Wen Xian, the smell of Jinyi Wei on your body can be smelled three miles away, and you also want to pretend to be a Sven person!" ”

With an embarrassed smile, Sun Yinglong said: "This is what our master has instructed him to make the elder laugh." ”

The old man snorted, his environment in prison is indeed good, there is a bed and a table, although the chair he sits on is a little shabby, but it is an out-and-out official hat chair, which is sold for two taels of silver in the world, he sat on the chair, stilted, clicked, threw out the shoe leather dragged on his feet, and then, on his toes, he snorted at Sun Yinglong, "Pick it up for me." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Sun Yinglong's face suddenly flashed with a trace of anger, his Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu is hereditary, and he thinks he is superior when he is a child, now Yan Shannong has this face, how can he not be angry. However, he also knows that his current status is all due to his uncle, if he doesn't do what his uncle told him to do well, he is afraid that he will have to eat and hang up when he goes back, and if he doesn't get it right, it is possible to lose his position.

He snorted in his heart, but he had to go over and bend down to pick up the shoe leather that exuded a sour smell, and was about to throw it in front of Yan Shannong, but the old man put a second leg on him, so he snorted at him and said, "Put it on for me." ”

Sun Yinglong was so angry in his heart! It was really a Buddha who was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but he still suppressed his anger and bent down to put the shoe leather on the old man's feet.

"You're respectful." The old man's nostrils were facing the sky, and with a click, the leather of the shoe he had just put on fell off again, "Put it on for me again, and say what the hell is going on while wearing it." ”

Sun Yinglong is a martial artist, born in the Jinyi Wei family, naturally he didn't know that this was an allusion to the art of war of the Marquis Zhang Liangde, his face flashed blue, he gritted his teeth, squatted down to take the shoe leather in his hand, and said while pinching the old man's feet and giving him his shoes: "As long as the old gentleman is willing to do things for my master, my master said, as long as the old man is willing to write, no matter what he writes...... If you write a travelogue, no one will dare to say that you leak the secrets of the imperial court and write history, and no one will say that you use the past to satirize the present and annotate the art of war, let alone say that you instigated rebellion and wrote stories about gods and monsters, my master likes this the most, and can even communicate with you......"

"It seems that your master is still a great man!" Yan Shannong's face was full of sarcasm, "You know, if he loses his power, then I won't be an accomplice?" ”

"My master will not lose power." Sun Yinglong was extremely confident in this sentence, since he had seen Concubine De Niangniang, he was convinced of it, "Old man, don't worry!" Even if you go out and just scold my master's brother-in-law every day, he will keep you fine......"

"It turned out to be a brother-in-law!" Yan Shannong's face was full of playfulness, he was different from those pedantic old masters who acted squarely, he was the first to put forward the [way of the sage is used by the people] of the generation of great masters, naturally he would not make a face full of experts, in fact, the old man scolded his mother when he became popular, and he would definitely not be as ordinary people imagined, the so-called great master should be well-behaved, sit there with a straight waist, and even have a fixed posture for drinking water.

"Wait." After Yan Shannong finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, "Your master won't be the Uncle Zheng Guo who came back from Fusang!" This boy, old man, I've heard of his name here! ”

"It's Uncle Guo." Sun Yinglong only felt a little proud at this time, "Now it is the governor of the second and fifth armies." ”

Yan Shannong frowned slightly, and when he heard that Sun Yinglong seemed to be very proud of that second-grade governor, he couldn't help laughing, "Which pavilion elder is so stingy that he gave a governor?" Do you think the governors are very valuable? I'm telling you, this position is not worth a tael of silver. ”

Sun Yinglong was stunned for a moment, and Yan Shannong said to him: "Qi Nantang is the governor of the Zuo Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and when he sees a small soldier, he has to bow his hand, do you think that as the deputy of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, is this governor valuable?" ”

Under the opening of his mouth, Sun Yinglong was speechless for a while, Yan Shannong touched the gray beard on his chin and laughed twice, his feet were cocked, and with a click, the shoe leather fell to the ground for the third time.

At this time, Sun Yinglong learned to be obedient, and quickly squatted down and picked up the shoe leather for the old man to put on, the old man had a teachable expression on his face, and then said hatefully: "That kid must have told you a lot of words, but unfortunately you don't have any ink in your stomach, and the words you say are dry, so tasteless, I don't think it's convincing, old man, you say, how should this be good!" ”

Sun Yinglong knew about his own affairs, of course, he knew that his lips and tongue were indeed a little worse, but he had an idea, but he thought of what Uncle Guo said, "Uncle Guo thinks that some of the things that the old man said may not be reasonable, and it is also very dismissive......

Who is Yan Shannong? Decades ago, he was famous all over the world, and the elder and Lang Guan who called him a teacher grabbed a lot of them, and now a brocade guard actually dared to say that his words were not impressed, so he naturally wanted to blow his beard and stare at him, but Sun Yinglong took another sentence.

"But Uncle Guo said that God gave everyone the right to speak, although Uncle Guo disagreed with some of the old man's words, but Uncle Guo said that even if he died, he would maintain the old man's right to speak......"

With a snap, Old Man Yan slapped the table next to him, "With this sentence, I him with the old man." As he spoke, he stood up, threw the book in his hand, and walked towards the prison gate, Sun Yinglong chased after him with the book, and the old man laughed and went out.

There are many people detained in the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison, many officials are proud of entering the Imperial Prison, the court staff and the Imperial Prison, this is a good opportunity for the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty to become famous in the world, most of the officials are arrogant when they come in, and they are still arrogant when they go out, and entering the Imperial Prison is equivalent to boiling qualifications for them, which is naturally not much of a hardship.

The old man had just come out of the prison, looked up at the sun, his face was full of emotion, and he said to himself: "This time I came in, it's been a year!" ”

As he was talking, a green-robed civil official walked past the two of them proudly, Yan Shannong's eyes rolled, and he called Sun Yinglong, Sun Yinglong hurried over, and the old man pointed to the green-robed civil official and said: "See, from the seventh grade, the sixth department, he saw that such a big official as you didn't bow his hand." ”

Sun Yinglong blinked his eyes, he didn't understand what the old man meant, what kind of joke was he kidding, the six branches were in the middle of the matter! Do you expect him to salute?

"You're the fifth grade, he's the seventh grade, right!" The old man pouted, "Go, go over and slap him with two big ears." ”

For Yan Shannong, the obedient official's instructions to Sun Yinglong were that he should be invited no matter what, and he should be treated as a teacher, Sun Yinglong hesitated slightly, walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to drag the green-robed little official.

The civil and military system, these hundred years in the Ming Dynasty is an empty word, but the two big mouths that came out of Old Man Yan's eyes turned around officially opened the prelude to the civil and military system in the Wanli years.

At this time, Zheng Chengguan did not know that he had become the governor of the second grade, and was busy with the matter of making money at the Nanzhili Oiran Conference.
