Dingjiatang is only a medium-sized building in Shenghu Academy, and it is not the best in terms of cost or architectural art. However, there are so many jinshi who have come out of here, and the ranking is so high that it makes people feel that the whole building exudes a dazzling halo.

Now, this place has been burned.

It seems that Matsue scholars have found a holy place and have come to pay their respects - although officials do not admit that anyone died in the fire. The officials of Huating County guarded the scene, and dared not speak out against the bustling students, at most they said in a weird manner: "What's so good-looking?" There's nothing left over there! ”

Originally, where Dingjiatang was located, there was only a piece of white soil left, and there was nothing left.

The officials don't understand the beauty of blank space. It is precisely because there is nothing left that it makes sense to see. A dazzling Dingjia Hall makes people awe-inspired, but a piece of white earth Dingjia Hall can inspire people's regret, anger, and sorrow...... The turmoil it brought was far greater than when Dingjiatang was still around.

The students thought that this was ruining the culture of Huating and even the entire Songjiang, and rushed to the county magistrate Zheng Yue, begging him to punish the murderer severely with a handful of snot and tears. Zheng Yue naturally showed righteous indignation, and was bound to bring to justice the villains who had done such murderous things. In the afternoon of the same day, he mobilized his horse and began to arrest people with the white servants.

These people were originally outcasts, and An Liuye had already arranged their fate and did not resist. After entering the yamen, he symbolically passed through the hall, and the spearhead was pointed at Su Song's important members to indulge the Japanese invaders.

Zheng Yue's master, Li Wenming, had already taken Xu Yuanzuo's silver, and suggested that there were gentry and scholars in the place to watch when the trial was opened. These people are all older, and as soon as they heard that there were Japanese pirates involved, they immediately recalled all kinds of unbearable things more than ten years ago, and they were eager to follow the county order to exterminate the Japanese pirates, and they were quite active in asking for food and wages.

Zheng Yue was actually completely blinded. Xu Yuanzuo felt that his emotional intelligence was slightly lower. The moral flexibility is not as good as Li Wenming, let alone the other officials in the yamen. Therefore, from Songjiang Mansion to Huating County, the officials knew the inside story very well, but the two chief officials Zhen Zhenji and Zheng Yue were ignorant - these two people were quite similar in some ways.

Seeing that the local people were so active, Zheng Yue was also greatly agitated, and immediately ordered the history and inspection to recruit people. Exterminate the Japanese Invaders.

Although these Japanese are indeed real Japanese warriors, they are not the kind of wandering samurai of the time of the Japanese rebellion. They were basically Japanese fishermen and sailors who had been deceived and abducted. Although he occasionally makes cameo appearances as pirates, his combat effectiveness is really not comparable to that of his predecessors. Coupled with the careful operation of An Liuye, the entire encirclement and suppression process was unexpectedly smooth.

Although this is the objective fact, the legal fact written by the Yamen scribe is not. Zheng Yue has become a great hero who braves arrows and stones, fights with the enemy, swords three thieves, and wears five creations without retreating. Others also have a lot of martial arts. The whole scene was vigorous. In the end, he caught five real widows, and countless widows escaped, and no one was lost, even Qi Jiguang might not be able to fight so wonderful in the whole battle.

Wu Chengen published the records of Zheng Ling's suppression of the Japanese in accordance with the caliber of the yamen, and spread it to most of the south of the Yangtze River through "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan". There are quite a few pro-Xu and anti-Gao officials in Nandu, although they feel that the article is a bit artistic, but they don't care. Anyway, there are all kinds of human and material evidence, and it is normal for people to boast a little. They are more concerned about chopping off Gao Gong's minions in Jiangnan. Although the world says that the Nanjing court is a place of retirement. However, among the officials of Nanjing, they may not all be people who can retire with peace of mind. These people are still counting on the day when they will return to the king to guide them!

The matter of Huating villagers' resistance to officials has not yet ended, and a new wave has been formed.

When the news reached Beijing. It is almost a foregone conclusion: in order to curry favor with Gao Xiang, Su Song's soldiers Cai Guoxi recruited Japanese robbers, burned Huating, destroyed six shops, one academy, and implicated dozens of houses. There were many casualties. Xinghua Pavilion ordered the soldiers to gather at night to attack the Japanese invaders, won a complete victory, and eliminated the disaster.

The news was quickly split into two more. An official from Jiangnan was circulated in the court; The other started with the eunuchs. Spread in the inner court. It soon reached the ears of Emperor Longqing, and he summoned Gao Gong overnight to inquire about the authenticity.

Just when Gaoxin Zheng was in a hurry, the dust had settled in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away.

Zheng Yue won this miraculous feat, as long as the official reaches the third grade in the future, it is indispensable to leave a name in history. After Cai Guoxi heard the rumors, he urgently withdrew, but the evil fire had already burned to the robe, and he wanted to cry without tears. Weng Shaoshan suffered another stroke and closed his door.

……

Xu Yuanzuo and Xu Yuanchun walked on the horses, with dozens of child servants behind them, from the dining table to the toilet, as long as the two of them walked to a comfortable place, they could immediately arrange a house.

Xu Yuanchun is not what it used to be, he is already a member of the imperial court, and he is very concerned about the whole situation. He didn't have much ambition originally, and he had been taught by Xu Jie's not to fall too deep in officialdom, so he was quite alienated politically. However, Xu Yuanzuo's appearance ignited his blood as a young man, and after going to Beijing to see a circle, he found that the court was controlled by the villain of Gao Gong, and he felt that "Chang'an is not seen and makes people sad".

"It's good for Jing Lian to capture the thief and capture the king first, why don't you bring out the big tiger behind you?" The two walked to the open area and looked into the distance, and the towns and villages were dotted around. Xu Yuanchun retreated and asked Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo pursed his lips: "Gao Xinzheng looks like a tiger, but in fact, he is not inferior to the old fox, and if he does it rashly, he will only let him escape." ”

Xu Yuanchun was silent.

Xu Yuanzuo continued: "What's more, he is a saint and has a strong appearance, and it is impossible for the Holy Son of Heaven to depose him because of this. "Current affairs are different, Emperor Jiajing is angry with the Japanese Kou, but Emperor Longqing may not have such a strong grudge. And judging from the personalities of the two emperors, they are also very different. If you are sure to win, why take risks.

"It's a pity." Xu Yuanchun let out a long breath and regretted it indescribably.

Xu Yuanzuo squinted at Xu Yuanchun, and smiled secretly in his heart: This gentle and jade-like son-in-law also knows how to hate people.

Xu Yuanchun's results in the Ministry of Rites Examination were not bad, and the strategy of the palace examination was also quite interesting, even Xu Jie's strict requirements for his sons and nephews felt that the top three scores were too low. But the Emperor could not have known this. As early as the Zhengde era, it has become a common practice for the first assistant of the cabinet to draft the ranking of the palace examination and submit it to the emperor for approval. Gao Gong didn't recommend Xu Yuanchun's rolls, and then secretly stumbled, leaving a lifelong shame for Xu Zhenheng, who was so high-spirited, and naturally formed a mortal enemy!

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Gao Xin Zheng took revenge on personal grievances with the National Talent Ceremony, and he is a real traitor!" ”

Xu Yuanchun was poked in the center with a faint pain, and he couldn't wait to hug Xu Yuanzuo and cry for a while.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "However, if the eldest brother is determined to be in the pavilion, who said that there must be no chance?" ”

Xu Yuanchun suddenly grabbed Xu Yuanzuo's hand: "The oath of the day, how dare you forget it!" ”
