People in officialdom thought that this was the end of the matter, but they did not expect that this would not be the case. After Lu Bing finished taking care of the affairs within his duties, he collected the materials and wrote them into a recital to the imperial court, and began to arrest the imperial historians and eunuchs involved in the case with the supervision rights assigned by the previous imperial order, and even those officials who knew about it and did not report their duties were also imprisoned. But Lu Bing did not judge them, and he was very smart not to encroach on his rights again.

Zhu Houxi was very satisfied with Lu Bing's actions this time, and he was very measured, so he also approved all the folds of Lu Bing's performance, and gave Lu Bing the power to review and kill him. Lu Bing started killing again, and every time he did it himself, as if this was the way to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Southern officials went from being sycophants at the beginning to being afraid of Lu Bing, and many officials were even frightened when they were called by Lu Bing to talk. Fortunately, Lu Bing did not lose his way because of anger, he reviewed in an orderly manner, basically did not handle any unjust, false and wrongful cases, and chose to open the net to some officials who were not serious and reasonable.

The people in the south all applauded Lu Bing's actions, of course, except for the relatives and friends of those officials, even if Lu Bing was very tolerant and did not sit together, so that they were also implicated, but this was also a devastating blow to their rights and interests, and it was natural to scold and practice.

It is undeniable that in the next ten years, the reason why the south was able to develop more rapidly and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment was inseparable from Lu Bing's large-scale killing of officials.

In the process of this movement, which can be called a "movement", countless people have pleaded with Lu Bing. There are also countless people who want to use money to buy Lu Bing, and some people get along with all kinds of strange bribery methods, but Lu Bing refuses them one by one. If there is one after another, it will not be forgiven.

During the Hongzhi period, there were officials and clouds: the officials were not afraid of my strictness and were honest, the people did not obey my ability and obeyed my public, the officials did not dare to be slow, the public did not dare to bully, the public was bright, and the public was incorruptible. Lu Bing did it.

When Lu Bing did everything. Zhu Houxi still did not listen to the opposition and suggestions of the DPRK and China, and insisted on enforcing the sea ban, and Lu Bing repeatedly told the officials of the Ship Department to seriously grasp the words of the saint. Flexible administrative mastery, do not lead to the government to force the people to rebel, and secondly, for foreign things can be converted into tribute imports, so that it is relatively convenient to exchange with foreign economy and technology.

Lu Bing decided to return to Beijing. Waiting for him there will be his own parents, wife and young. What awaited there was a long and tiring rest, but he didn't know that he would face an even bigger storm when he returned.

Lu Bing's schedule to return to Beijing was delayed again and again, from the end of the sixteenth year of Zhengde to Lu Bing's decision to travel, to the beginning of the first year of Jiajing's official departure, after the suppression of bandits and recruitment, aid to the Ryukyus, naval battles against Japan, and the implementation of a sea ban. Clearing the political field, every time Lu Bing decides to go back. There will always be something that binds Lu Bing.

Today, in April of the third year of Jiajing, more than three years have passed. Lu Bing didn't know what his son had become, and he named his son in the letters he exchanged with Meng Xueqing, Lu Xun. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight. Take one of the search words to indicate the luck and happiness of finding Meng Xueqing in the vast sea of people.

And there are still things that Lu Bing is worried about when he returns to Beijing this time, Wan Erwan disappeared after being poisoned, and Lu Bing did not see Wan Erwan at the place where he made an appointment, he lost his news and disappeared in the vast sea of people, whether he was alive or dead no one knows. Subsequently, the secret of Zhu Houzhao's poisoning was once again cut off, and there was no news from Shi Shen into the sea, which made Lu Bing worried, and even more worried about Wan'er Wan's okay now?

Wei He was demoted from the position of a thousand households to a hundred households, and the reason is self-evident, precisely because Wei He concealed Lu Bing before, or he did not conceal it, but only because of his dereliction of duty in intelligence work. In short, the reason for the outbreak of the second purge, the intelligence department in charge of Wei He is the first to bear the responsibility.

In the investigation of the Supervision Department, Wei He, as the main person in charge, can no longer be described as the main one, but he was not beheaded, but he was demoted by an official or even whipped. First, Wei and he did not have any other violations of law and discipline except for some dereliction of duty, and secondly, how could he also be a person who started from scratch with Lu Bing, Lu Bing did this and was worthy of his achievements back then, and did not chill the hearts of the old brothers. Wei He was left behind in Nanjing, and it was three years later when he met Lu Bing again.

After returning to Beijing, he had to go to face the saint first, Lu Bing stationed his troops outside the city, changed into court clothes and walked towards the deep palace alone, it is now early summer, the weather is very hot, Lu Bing is a little afraid of heat, but he still has to wear neat clothes. Although Lu Bing has a lot of power outside, and he is in charge of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, his position is still a thousand households, so he is dressed in the uniform of a military attache Xiong Zhen of a thousand households, and walks on the square in front of the empty Fengtian Palace.

Lu Bing still had some understanding of what happened when the capital came in, and Yang Tinghe retreated because of another attack launched by Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan did not stay in Nanjing in peace, he united a group of officials, and relied on the help of Yang Yiqing, who was idle at home, to participate in Yang Tinghe.

Speaking of Yang Yiqing, this person is also an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Houzhao fought with Jiang Bin and Qian Ning when he was in power, and was rectified, throughout history, Lu Bing felt that Zhu Houzhao was deliberately protecting Yang Yiqing, so Yang Yiqing was idle at home and was harassed by Jiang Bin and Qian Ning's henchmen. When Zhu Houzhao was on his southern tour, he also specially visited Yang Yiqing, and drank and enjoyed with him for two days and nights, which is enough to show Zhu Houzhao's care for Yang Yiqing, which further protects the ministers from acting rashly, lest they provoke the wrath of the saint.

After Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, he expressed many times in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, that is, shortly after he ascended the throne, that he hoped that Yang Yiqing would come back and re-enter politics, but Yang Yiqing politely refused, and even when Lu Bing found him with the emperor's documents and the gold and silver reward, he still refused. Because he understood that Zhu Houxi's main purpose in looking for himself to go back was not to govern the country, but to ask him to deal with Yang Tinghe.

There was a fight between Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe, and the reason why Yang Yiqing was not successfully activated. The main reason is that he is unwilling, and because of Yang Tinghe's existence, Yang Tinghe is a little narrow-minded. can't tolerate Yang Yiqing, who can stand side by side with him, Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe both understand this, and Yang Yiqing can't tolerate Yang Tinghe. Therefore, Yang Yiqing wisely avoided this period, and when Zhang Xuan united with Gui Cao and others to launch an attack on Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing chose to help Zhang Xuan in secret.

Lu Bingdang was taken aback when he learned about Zhang Xuan's superiority, to be honest, he was about to forget this Zhang Xuan who had caused pressure to a generation of famous ministers Yang Tinghe. He thought that Zhang Xuan should be a man with his tail between his legs, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be unwilling to be lonely. Back then, Zhang Xuan pinned all his hopes on Lu Bing, hoping that Lu Bing would be able to blow the wind to the emperor without trouble. Transfer yourself back to the capital earlier, even if you don't get promoted or transferred, don't forget yourself. But then he learned the news of Lu Bing's suppression of bandits like a bolt from the blue, and then Lu Bing's three-year activities in the south.

Zhang Xuan was very depressed, and he didn't blame Lu Bing at this time. Because after Lu Bing was sent to the south, it was impossible for him to write a daily recital to the emperor. Just to remind Zhu Houxi not to forget himself, it is not realistic at all. At the same time, Lu Bing has been very busy all these years, and Zhang Xuan doesn't expect Lu Bing to remember the promises he made to himself, or maybe these promises were just Lu Bing's ploy to shut up honestly at that time.

But no matter what, Lu Bing pointed out a clear road to Zhang Xuan back then, and with this clear road, Zhang Xuan found another way to make the emperor impressed by such a small official named Zhang Xuan. At the same time, the heart of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was also shaken.

Of course, because of Lu Bing's clear road, Zhang Xuan has a record in the historian's pen. It doesn't matter whether this record is good or bad, whether it is merit or demerit. It's better to rely on others than on yourself, Zhang Xuan can't count on Lu Bing, so he began to work his own, continued to fight with Yang Tinghe, and still put his strength into the old thing that Zhu Houxi wanted to solve the most.

Yang Tinghe didn't expect that Zhang Zhang, who was far away in Nanjing, and his official position and political experience were far from his own, would still be entangled and challenge himself again. Before the matter was decided, Yang Tinghe had already seen what Zhu Houxi meant, and expressed some disgust for himself, so he no longer objected, but had a request, to be a minister. Regarding Zhishi's request, Yang Tinghe mentioned it many times, and this time Zhu Houxi didn't keep it, he misunderstood Yang Tinghe's indifferent eyes and tired demeanor, Yang Tinghe had been fighting in the court all his life, and he was tired. However, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi mistook this look for loss and failure, thinking that Yang Tinghe had lost, and he had lost completely, so he thought that he had won completely, so he agreed to Yang Tinghe and Zhishi's request, and Yang Tinghe retired.

After Yang Ting and Zhishi, the cabinet minister launched a joint letter, and at this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was no longer Mao Cheng, but a person named Wang Jun. The meaning he wants to express is very simple: Although the emperor Yang Ting and Zhishi have gone home, we will still fight, oppose your wrong decision, and resolutely support what Yang Tinghe said is right, and we have not dispersed, but have become more united.

In fact, Wang Jun did it, he joined seventy-three ministers to write the book together, the content was naturally cliché, even Zhu Houyu didn't feel angry when he saw it, and he fought for three years just to dedicate the title of King and Princess Xing, Zhu Houxi was used to it and was no longer angry, but the two sides were still struggling to insist. This is not to be angry, nor is it to say that the emperor and the ministers are idle and have nothing to do to fight for this matter, but for a word of reason and a word of etiquette. What's more, when it comes to the highest level of leadership of state power, the words and deeds discussed are no longer just words and actions, and everything can be reduced to a struggle, a struggle for rights, and a struggle for the right to decide at the top.

Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, marked on the end of the document, "more than 80 people and more than 250 people", this is nakedly telling the emperor, we are too many people, you can't fight us, the civil official group can manipulate everything in the Ming Dynasty, if your emperor doesn't follow us, we won't do anything else, we don't care about the national plan, let's discuss this matter, and we can't discuss it. The ministers thought that their shouts would pose a threat to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, just like kneeling on the ground and shouting long live in the past, they could achieve a kind of civilized coercion and coercion.

But after Zhu Houxi saw the fold, and understood the surface and inner meaning of this fold inside and out, he just smiled slightly, he wanted to tell these civil officials, there is no reason to be loud, I want to find someone to fight the group of Confucianism to govern you - immediately order Zhang Xuan and others to enter Beijing.
