Pu Daren expressed a clear opinion, and everyone agreed with it! Outside again, Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei sat back in their seats, and the officials who had always been silent:

"In that case, then pick two more virtuous and old ones, and report them to Your Majesty together, please make a decision!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded, there was a vacancy in the senior officials, and after the six ministries and nine secretaries deliberated, they took out three candidates and presented them to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven chose one of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But this, the rules of the game have long been in place, and the three people choose the remaining two in most cases. is not qualified, the person everyone launched will definitely be selected by the Son of Heaven, not to mention that today when the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng has such authority, since it is decided, there will be no objections from the Son of Heaven.

I have written an excerpt that will be pushed in the cabinet on duty, ready to play, although these clerks who serve in the cabinet are meager and small, but they are all rich, because of the high-ranking officials outside. It is also not known how many people came to buy their news.

The news of Zhang Xueyan's promotion to the head of the household department, I am afraid that the twist and turn has not yet reached the Wanli Emperor's side, and the entire Beijing division has already spread all over the city.

With the implementation of a whip law, the tax dollars sent to Beijing from all over the country began to increase exponentially, and the reputation of Zhang Juzheng, the promoter of this whip law, was also in full swing.

Originally, the cabinet deliberated, what policy was disposed of, although in the end Zhang Juzheng's opinion prevailed, but everyone still had a small dispute, sometimes Zhang Juzheng also needed the support of Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei, and there were different voices afterwards, but now Zhang Gelao's words are the will, and even more effective than the holy will.

All the arguments. It's all before Zhang Ge's old opinion. Zhang Ge Lao only needs to speak. Then everything is a foregone conclusion, and everyone has nothing to say.

Although it is said that it is a sound insect in the middle of the court, everyone is also happy to be relaxed, walking upwards, going home to drink and feast and have fun, originally everyone still has one. Thinking about it, now Zhang Ge is in full bloom. The position of the second assistant fell on Zhang Siwei, and there was a Shen Shixing in the future, and there was no place to climb up if he wanted to.

After Zhang Siwei, a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the military department, retired from the court, he declined the invitation to two banquets and went home alone in a sedan chair.

got off the sedan chair at the door of the house, Zhang Siwei's face was so bad that he couldn't see anything unusual, the doorman at the door greeted him with a smile, and the housekeeper of the inner house was already waiting there, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Entering the mansion gate, the housekeeper in Zhang's mansion waved his hand back. dismissed a group of subordinates, and whispered with some embarrassment:

"Master, the elder of Xu Shilang came to the door, and that" is the 20,000 taels that will be sent back

While speaking, he peeked at Zhang Siwei's expression, and said a lot of words, Zhang Siwei's face suddenly darkened, walked a few steps forward slowly, and said:

"Just send them back, Xu Qingshan's eyes follow him like this!"

Hearing Zhang Siwei say this, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and trotted away, Zhang Siwei shook his head, his hand clenched and loosened, and finally looked as usual.

He had only taken a few steps before his entourage trotted over. He bent down and said:

"Master, Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Fujian Department of the Ministry of Households, has come to ask to see him again, do you want to see him?"

Zhang Siwei raised his eyebrows, his face became cold, his long frightened waist bent again, and hurriedly said:

"The master said that he didn't see it, but Gu Xiancheng was in a hurry to plead, and he was an official on an errand in the imperial court, the porter and the small one

"I'm afraid it's the thick door bag, you can see the money open!"

Zhang Siwei sneered, Chang Sui was too frightened to speak, and hurriedly bowed down to leave, only after a few steps, Zhang Siwei groaned, and said:

"Let him in!" ”

"Mr. Zhang, the student's family is in Wuxi, and the surrounding townships can't stand the harassment of the officials, so they entrust the fields to the students' families to take care of them, but this time a whip law was carried out, and Zhang Mou, the magistrate of Wuxi County, in addition to dividing the fields in these townships, also bullied others, forcing the students' families to divide their own fields out a lot. Master Zhang, the student is a Jinshi and a scholar, and he is famous for his merits, but he is still treated like this by local officials. There are tens of millions of corporal in the world, and I don't know how bitter it is! ”

Gu Xiancheng was wearing a green shirt. Hands swinging, impassioned. There were only Gu Xiancheng and Zhang Siwei in the room, and Zhang Siwei was holding a tea bowl there, gently skimming the foam, as if he was distracted. Gu Xiancheng glanced at this, slowed down his words, and said again:

"Lord Zhang is also a prominent family in Fenglingdu, Puzhou, and there are a lot of fields at home, and the students have heard that this whip method has also affected the adult race."

"A whip law is the great policy of the world. It's about the country, what is the gain or loss of the family, uncle, when you enter and exit the official career, you must distinguish between public and private! ”

Zhang Siwei said lightly, and Gu Xiancheng was stunned at first. Then I noticed something. Zhang Siwei, who has always been respectful of himself, called his own words, he was overjoyed, and then said solemnly:

"Master Zhang is in the Taiwan Pavilion, and his knowledge is naturally very high, but the students have objections to this, who is the world in the world, and the world is the world of the Son of Heaven. But the Son of Heaven rules the world with the scholars,

Knowing the product friends to seek a small profit and forget the righteousness of the dog, the clear stream of the ten forests is miserable, in the long run, the concave righteousness is damaged, and the society is shaken! ”

People with meritorious fame not only have the privilege of not paying taxes, but other people who do not have merit and fame also take refuge in their names and ask for a tax-free benefit. The meritorious scholars either took the taxes that should have been paid to the state, or they borrowed it. Opportunity to annex acres of Tobe.

And the inventory of acres and a whip is aimed at this. Allowing the people below not to hide their fields greatly harmed the interests of the scholars.

Zhang Siwei didn't make a sound with such fierce words, Gu Xiancheng slowed down, and said again:

"Nowadays, the performance appraisal of the officials, the first thing to see is how the herdsmen and officials collect taxes, if it is less than ninety, it is already a blessing to be able to get the performance appraisal, how is this the truth of governing the country. The officials and the people pursued profits, abandoned Confucius and Mencius to seek Tao Zhu, the etiquette and music collapsed, and the morality was degraded.

"Uncle, are you hot?"

Zhang Siwei interrupted Gu Xiancheng's words out loud, and retorted that he asked this unmindful sentence, Gu Xiancheng was stunned, shook his head and said:

"My lord, it's not even May. What kind of heat is talked about there

"When the sun is in the sky, it is hot outside, and it is hot inside the house, even with the shelter of this house, it is still hot

When he said this, Zhang Siwei also pointed to the sky with his finger. Gu Xiancheng frowned, his mind turned sharply, and he wondered if this scorching sun was talking about Zhang Juzheng. Could it be that the house is Zhang Siwei comparing himself, Zhang Siwei continued over there:

"Uncle, you've only been in the household for a few years. Among the Qingliu scholars of the Jingshi, your name is spread everywhere, which is really promising, but after all, you are young and can't hold your breath! ”

"What do you mean?"

"What can the old man say, it is nothing more than to warn you young people not to be impatient in doing things, and to do everything after you see it!"

Gu Xiancheng was silent, he came to visit, he came to try his luck after hearing about some things, but he didn't expect to talk about it after a few words. Zhang Siwei's meaning is so ambiguous, and his attitude is one thing, but he is sparse about the joint names of the scholars. But they are not ready to participate.

"Lord Zhang, tomorrow Zhao Shiqing, the director of the Nanjing Military Department, will be admitted to the General Political Department.

"He's sparse, what's the matter with you, the left and right cabinets can't stop it, so they have to go to the side of the celebrant first, and they know the attitude of the heavenly family

The concert is submitted to the palace by the secretary of communication, and the secretary of ceremonies will dispose of it, and the cabinet will not have any involvement, and when the time comes, look at the attitude of the nobles in the palace, then you can know.

Zhang Siwei didn't say much, just picked up the tea and signaled. Spoken:

"I didn't say anything today, please come back, uncle."

Gu Xiancheng took a deep look and said solemnly:

"Mr. Zhang is just pointing out the student's article today, and the student will leave."

"Forward!!"

Li Hu shouted loudly, the trumpets and drums sounded, the flag waved, the phalanx slowly moved forward, the spear phalanx was much smaller than before, but the degree of advance was also significantly improved, twenty steps away from the spear phalanx, six hundred fire raisers lined up in a big horizontal formation and slowly moved forward.

"Stop! Get ready to shoot! ”。

The order sounded again. The spearmen immediately stopped, but the fire sharp horizontal team in front lined up and began to prepare to shoot, after making a small move. Another action, repeated several times, fire locks, the officers of the horizontal squad shouted, and the soldiers separated from the middle and ran backwards.

A team of 300 fire rao soldiers lined up in a line on both flanks of the spear phalanx, and at this time the spearmen and spears were all flattened, and the fire rao soldiers were nervously loading there.

There were more than a dozen horses in front of them who were turning their horses' heads, and Wang Tong nodded while watching from the wooden platform on the side, and said to the generals:

"With such a formation, you will not suffer in a cavalry field. To be able to rush forward under so many fires, you must pay extremely heavy casualties

"The master is right, if it is equipped with artillery, I am afraid that the godson will not be able to come to him at all

General Chen said, Tan Bing's regiment is also the same drill, the two regiments slowly merged together, this formation is more stable, and the shooting and movement of 1,200 fire soldiers also provides a guarantee for the firepower output of this formation.

"Master, Wu Er and the three nephews of the Wu family have brought it!"

Hearing Tan Jian shouting from the audience, escorted by twenty military vehicles, Wu's second uncle and nephew came here, Wang Tong turned his head to see, Wu Er's figure was still tall and strong, his beard was a lot thicker, and he was long and scattered, but he couldn't see any haggard and thin appearance, and the other three young men were also strong, with a fierceness that could not be concealed.

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile and said:

"What do you have to do to let the official take it in?"

"Master, we are all proficient in horse steps!!"

Thank you
