Zhang Yunhan sat in the lobby, in a trance for a while. has been in the deep palace all the year round, and when I came out to run an errand, I found that this errand was not so easy to do seamlessly.

Zhang Yunhan suddenly remembered the Jiajing Dynasty, the past of investigating the weaving yamen in Zhejiang, the eunuch's mansion, the weaving yamen, and the river garrison yamen were almost swept away, and only the high-grade internal officials were executed several, although this matter was not known to the government and the opposition, but as an internal official, whenever he told about this past, it would always make people shudder.

and when Wei Zhongxian, who was famous for a while, fell, the great purge in the palace, not to mention the blood flowing, it was also a tragic incident in which dozens of heads fell to the ground overnight. Today's saint's temperament, Zhang Yunhan is clear, anxious, mean, moody, once these pickled things in Fengyang reach his ears, what kind of punishment will the internal officials face, think about it, Zhang Yunhan is in a cold sweat.

What's more, last night's flying pigeon in the capital passed the book, and it turned out to be Cao Huachun's handwritten letter.

Who would have thought that a dilapidated Fengyang City would actually alarm the queen mother in the deep palace. Cao Huachun's letter mentioned that after Jiading Bo Zhou Kui met the queen, the queen mentioned the matter of Fengyang in front of Cao Huachun, and there was even Zhu Ping'an's name, saying that such a loyal minister and fierce general is the pillar of the country, and he must review and carefully consider the case when trying the case.

A small military attache actually went straight to the sky, which made Zhang Yunhan toss and turn and sleepless all night.

Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen were a husband and wife in distress, and assisted Chongzhen to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Throne by King Xin, King Yijie, and King Shun. Although Chongzhen dotes on Tian Guifei more, his love and respect for this married wife has not diminished in the slightest.

Cao Huachun's letter completely strengthened Zhang Yunhan's determination to make a quick decision. The plan to pull Zhu Ping'an off the horse disappeared in an instant. Joke, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid your head will fall to the ground first.

The Fengyang civil and military forces in the hall stared at Zhang Yunhan sitting upright without blinking, and even a needle could be heard clearly in the entire hall. But Zhang Yunhan came up with a god and didn't notice it for a while, which made the atmosphere strange and abnormal.

"Grandpa Zhang......!" Wang Pin reminded in a whisper.

Zhang Yunhan came back to his senses at this time, smiled awkwardly like self-deprecation, and reached out to pick up the shocking wood, but he felt that it was a thousand pounds, so he slapped it with all his strength and said something bitterly.

"After investigation, Liao Yongtang, a thousand households in Jinyi Wei Fengyang, colluded with Tartars outside the Guan, accepted bribes, and resold military funds, and the human and material evidence was there, and he was sent to the Jinyi Wei pro-army yamen in the capital to be tried and convicted."

Everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect Zhang Yunhan, who was still holding Zhu Ping'an yesterday, to suddenly have a 180-degree change today. Liao Yongtang, who was held under the hall and tied up with flowers, sat paralyzed on the ground, with walnuts stuffed into his mouth, tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Yunhan glanced at everyone coldly, "There is also Zhang Jizu, a person from Fengyang Mansion, who led the crowd to attack the Jinyi Guard Yamen, although he has national affairs and extenuating circumstances, his sin is unforgivable. Immediately think about it at home for a year! ”

Huang Gongfu suddenly couldn't sit still, and was about to get up to refute, but Chen Zizhuang grabbed his sleeve, "Brother Zhenxi, what are you fighting for?" Gengchen's exam has never been missed. Jizu led the crowd to attack the yamen, but it was always his no, and Zhang Yunhan's move was already merciful to his subordinates. Thinking about it behind closed doors for a year is just a superficial article, and my step-grandfather can just study hard at home to take the exam! ”

Huang Gongfu thought about it carefully, and then sat back in his seat.

After speaking, Zhang Yunhan let out a sigh of relief, "This case is over, Fengyang civil and military affairs perform their duties, let's do it with heart!" ”

……

Liao Yongtang's case ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Yunhan did not achieve his goal, he finally followed Cao Huachun's instructions to draw an end to the matter, and he also had an explanation for the upper and lower levels. Therefore, it was also relaxed, and the next thing was to deal with the various banquets of Fengyang officials, of course, all kinds of benefits were indispensable, so Zhang Yunhan's mood quickly adjusted, only Yuan Min ran before and after, still serving patiently and meticulously.

Huang Gongfu and Chen Zizhuang saw that Zhang Jizu was fine, and they also decided to leave. Lu Zhenfei set up a banquet for the two of them to practice, Zhu Ping'an was ordered by the teacher to sit with him, and Zhang Shan was supposed to go to the banquet, but he couldn't make the trip due to the occasional cold, and Zhang Jizu had to come to the banquet alone.

Huang Gongfu, Chen Zizhuang and Zhang Jizu were all well-branded Donglin Party members. During the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party was killed by the eunuch party, and the vitality was greatly damaged, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, in order to avoid a monopoly, the Donglin Party was also suppressed and suppressed on the one hand, so the Donglin family did not recover its momentum in the Wanli and Apocalypse years, but in the south of the Yangtze River, the Donglin Party had a great influence in Shilin and the people.

During the banquet, Huang, Chen, and Zhang and Lu Zhenfei chanted poems, and they talked very happily, but Zhu Ping'an, who was sitting with him on the side, was bitter, and some of the ancient poems in the mouths of the four of them could still understand a little, but as soon as they came out, they were completely listening to alien languages, which made Zhu Ping'an's head as big as a fight.

Chen Zizhuang and Huang Gongfu were very surprised, and kept asking Lu Zhenfei and Zhu Ping'an whether they were teachers and students, but Lu Zhenfei always smiled and didn't answer, and the two old guys were helpless.

Zhang Jizu was also extraordinarily curious. You must know that the civil and military confrontation in the Ming Dynasty is a tradition that has continued for a hundred years, and the nobles are the representatives of the military attachés, and basically have little contact with the civil officials, let alone intermarriage. After Renzong and Xuanzong, the civil power rose steadily, and during the Orthodox and Jingtai periods, the battle of Tumubao caused a great loss to the power of the nobles, and completely lost the ability to be with the civil officials.

After that, the military attachés were completely suppressed by the civilian officials, and it became the norm for the military attachés to bow down to the civilian officials of the same level. Military salaries, grain and grass, equipment, and equipment are all firmly in the palm of the hands of the six civilian officials, and this situation has only changed slightly now.

It's just that the Ming Empire has also been declining, and the resurgence of military attaches can only mean that the center is no longer able to control the place, and the military attaché who holds the military power has begun to raid the place without fear to raise troops without having to rely on the imperial court. The most typical example is that since the Wanli period, military attaches have begun to expand their private soldiers - Jiading, and at present, the real elite of the Ming Dynasty is these Jiading.

Huang Gongfu and the others were strange that Lu Zhenfei had a good reputation in Shilin, how could he include a military attache under his disciples. If this spreads, it will also hinder Lu Zhenfei's reputation.

But Lu Zhenfei always talked about him left and right, and between the conversations, he respected and cared for Zhu Ping'an, a disciple.

Zhang Jizu suddenly remembered something. "I heard that the song "Wine" that is sung in the market is written by Master Zhu, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Chen Zizhuang was taken aback, "But the enthusiasm is diligent and cherished, and sprinkling it can still turn Bitao, this song "To Wine"? ”

Zhu Ping'an suddenly blushed, and was ashamed of everyone. Lu Zhenfei stroked his beard and smiled silently.

Huang Gongfu chanted the poem lightly, unconsciously intoxicated, "Wu Neng is stable and stable, Wen Neng sings about wine, and Ping An Xian's nephew is really a wonderful person!" When the float is white! As he spoke, he poured himself a drink.

"Where can I compare to Mr. Qiu Tao's seven-year-old poem, to: When I go to the garden next year, I will ask Chang'e because of the flowers. Right: What is the mood of the heavenly father tonight, do not put silver lights to shine on the blue waves. What a beautiful talk that is! Lu Zhenfei and Chen Zizhuang had a drink together.

Chen Zizhuang smiled and waved his hand, "Laugh and talk, just laugh and talk!" ”

"I don't think about it, Wanli has not been a subject, a word into a prophecy, it really responded to the poems of the year, and Jisheng really became the third place in the palace test, and steadily got a Tanhualang, what a beautiful talk in Shilin and the people!" Huang Gongfu said with a smile on the side.

Zhu Ping'an listened to the memories of the three with great interest, he had also heard these allusions, but Chen Zizhuang said that it was the first time he had heard of it.

Chen Zizhuang smiled and sighed, "The past is over, and now that the country is facing such a predicament, I can't raise the interest in choosing words and making sentences!" ”

One sentence made everyone present a little gloomy.

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly motioned to Zhu Ping'an to pour wine for everyone, and then diverted the topic, "Then where does Mr. Qiu Tao want to go this time?" ”

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the emperor was disappointed with his ministers, wanted to appoint clan relatives, looked for talents in the clan, and planned to entrust official positions. was strongly opposed by Chen Zizhuang, who was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites at the time, which caused Chongzhen to be angry, and he was "frustrated with his relatives" and went down to the court staff. However, Zhu Yujian, who had already taken over as the king of Tang at that time, was quite dissatisfied with his remarks, so he was impeached and Chen Zizhuang was imprisoned. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager and her ministers interceded, and she was released from prison in the spring of the following year.

Since then, Chen Zizhuang has traveled all over the world, lecturing and teaching apprentices, and his footprints have spread all over the country.

"Brother Zhenxi was ordered to participate in the politics of Huguang, lead the army to prepare for affairs, and plan to go to Guangdong below, and the foolish disciple Sheng and several close friends plan to establish a academy there, so please go to the next to teach the apprentice to teach. Originally, he went south with Brother Zhenxi, but he didn't want to hear about his step-ancestor halfway, so he rushed to Zhongdu. Chen Zizhuang explained.

"But the Yunzhu Academy in Baiyun Mountain?" Zhu Ping'an was quick to speak for a while.

Chen Zizhuang was greatly surprised, "Where did Ping'an Xiaoyou learn that it is said that the academy has not yet been named?" ”

"Yun Chung? Above the white clouds, there is a murmuring sound! The academy is in Baiyun Mountain, wonderful! That's a wonderful name! Huang Gongfu couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing.

Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but be surprised, and when he tasted the name carefully, he couldn't help nodding. Although Lu Zhenfei glared at Zhu Ping'an, his face was full of smiles that could not be concealed.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel ashamed again, but he didn't expect that an unintentional sentence would make the famous academy in the history of Nanming Dynasty born. It's just that when I think of this Chen Zizhuang who was opposed to his father back then, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in my heart.

"The situation in the north is chaotic, and I and several like-minded friends also want to take this opportunity to recruit talents and teach them the way to control chaos in the world, for the use of the imperial court!"

Chen Zizhuang's words made Huang Gongfu and Lu Zhenfei nod frequently.

But Zhu Ping'an shook his head, "Chen Gong's words are fallacious, if you only teach the study of the world, then once the country is in turmoil, how can only a few scholars turn the overall situation around?" ”
