The masked men panicked.

Xu Guangqi was also shocked.

Whoosh!

And just as these masked men were about to draw their swords and kill themselves, crossbow arrows shuttled in.

The masked men fell to the ground on the spot, all of them were shot in the legs, baring their teeth and enduring the pain, so that they could not commit suicide.

At that time, Xu Guangqi's four sedan chair drivers were still in front of Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi was even more surprised by this.

After a while, a person wearing a hat and carrying a burden appeared in front of Xu Guangqi and said, "Don't be surprised, you don't have to be surprised, we are the secret guards sent by you above. ”

"Dark Guard?"

Xu Guangqi was quite curious, and said with a smile: "What do you say?" ”

"It was arranged by the uncle of the country who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and the Jinyi Guard added a security department, and at present, a group of factory guards and official schools were selected as secret guards, specializing in protecting the safety of ministers like Youxian. If it weren't for the fact that the factory guard now has sufficient funds and adds a lot of money to those who are willing to be secret guards, Ding, as the backbone of the factory guard, would not have come to do the work of this guard, and I don't know how comfortable it is to raid the house and take people! ”

"So, please rest assured, with our people here, they are unlikely to hurt you, this time the three of your entourage lost their lives, because the official school has not been arranged to defend in the open, but you may be affected if you go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the future, after all, there will be people like us who are secretly listening to your bedside"

The man smiled as he spoke, and said, "We will take away your slain entourage, and we will also take away these masked people, you can leave in a sedan chair now!" ”

"Good!"

Xu Guangqi answered and returned to the sedan chair.

After glancing at the man wearing the hat, the sedan chair drivers also dispersed, and then lifted the sedan chair again and left.

Xu Guangqi came to Zhang Gui next and told Zhang Gui about it.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui took a sip of tea and said, "I arranged it, and it is also Your Majesty's intention!" ”

Xu Guangqi thanked him.

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Gui waved his hand and said: "I know, a few of you voted under my door, not because of my status as a royal prince, but because you still have the community in your heart, the people, and the ambitions that a countryman should have!" After all, the scholar should be ashamed to cling to the powerful, and you are doing this now, half of it is forced by Liu Yixian and others in the past, and half of it is also trying to push me, the uncle of the country, so that I can continue to be benevolent to those homeless people. ”

"The protégé has indeed been impressed by Uncle Guo's behavior in Xishan, which is not hypocritical."

Xu Guangqi replied.

Zhang Gui smiled slightly: "You are naturally not hypocritical, but you Xu Guangqi is a national soldier, and this emperor will naturally protect him with a national soldier!" What's more, reform is not a dinner party, many times, you have to speculate on those people with the greatest malice, otherwise it is very likely that all your achievements will be wasted, and Zhang Jiangling's next appearance is an example! This time, I really did nothing wrong, not long after I suggested that Your Majesty should set up secret guards to protect a few of you ministers who are willing to innovate, someone really started to do such despicable things. ”

"Judging from the protégés, they don't dare to really kill the protégés, they just intimidate."

Xu Guangqi replied.

"Intimidation doesn't work!"

"However, if they really only use some despicable means such as assassination and intimidation, it is a good thing, if they really don't follow the rules, they may not know who wins or loses, after all, there are still more poor people in the world, so it can be said that there are definitely more people on our side who are not afraid of death than their people, and they may not be able to afford it."

Zhang Gui replied.

Xu Guangqi nodded: "What you said is that they are doing this because they are dissatisfied with the protégé's request for the restoration of the official title for Zhang Taishi, and they say that they have the protection of His Majesty and Uncle Guo, even if they don't, they will not be frightened in their later life, Taishi Gong once said: 'People always have a death, or lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.'" 'Sacrifice your life for righteousness!' ”

"Although innovation and elimination of disadvantages is to make up for the shortcomings, so it is inevitable to offend the world's powerful families, but it is necessary to be so resolute, after all, there are many deficiencies in the world, we must learn to educate the common people, mobilize the common people, and unite the common people, so that our people will become the majority, and they are the minority."

Zhang Gui said here: "Therefore, I have recommended you to Han Ge Lao to be the new governor of Shuntian, you go to Xishan, set up a school, specifically teach the children of ordinary families to read, do not have to teach them the four books and five classics, only teach them to read and write, can write and calculate, and even understand what is the difference between the country and the Huayi." You Xu Guangqi are proficient in mathematics and physics, and you are from Hanlin, so you should be competent. ”

Xu Guangqi was a little surprised and asked, "Uncle Guo wants to make the people wise?" ”

Zhang Gui looked at him: "Isn't it strange, although the foolish people are good for rule, but not good for the country, not to mention that now the Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it has to enlighten the people's wisdom, and if you don't enlighten the people's wisdom, you will also fall into the trap of three hundred years of national fortune, if the scholars should be more valuable than the people, then at least now it is time to cultivate new scholars to replace the corrupt old scholars." ”

"Uncle Guo is far-sighted, in fact, the protégé has already had this intention, thanks to Uncle Guo's support, the protégé will do what Uncle Guo instructs!"

Xu Guangqi smiled and arched his hand.

Zhang Gui looked at Xu Guangqi with a serious face: "Remember! What you want to run is a new type of academy, the purpose is to enlighten the people and strengthen the country, so not only to let them have knowledge, but also to make them strong and healthy! Become the son of the Han family who can stabilize the country in the future, and ensure the continuation of the new policy that is about to start. ”

"The protégé understands!"

Xu Guangqi nodded solemnly, and then asked, "It's just, what arrangements will they make after reading it?" After all, in this case, it is not for the purpose of cultivating karma. ”

"Next, the imperial court will set up martial arts to cultivate generals belonging to the imperial court! and other schools designed to train all kinds of talents, they will not learn and will be useless. ”

Zhang Gui replied.

Xu Guangqi, as an official from Hanlin in this era, is not stupid, and quickly understood the meaning of Zhang Gui's words, and said with a smile: "No wonder you say that they are the guarantee for the continuation of the new policy in the future." ”

Xu Guangqi, who himself admires practical learning and hopes to apply what he has learned, continued: "In terms of school education, it is time to do this, and the protégés can't wait to be ordered by the Holy Decree now!" ”

"But with you and me, I want the country to be rich and the people to be rich, and the world is prosperous, but it's not enough. It is also because of this that His Majesty intends to restore the official title to Gangneung, and even make him an earl. ”

Zhang Gui asked Xu Guangqi as he spoke: "You say, can the matter of restoring the official title to Zhang Jiangling make people of insight in the world know His Majesty's desire to govern, and are they willing to be ministers who seek the country?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "The protégé thinks that there should be, the country has been raising soldiers for two hundred years, and it should not be a person who is consumed by interests!" ”

Zhang Gui nodded, looked at the rising sun outside the house, and smiled: "Well, there should be, at least this is good news for the Jiangling Zhang family, who have been wronged for many years." ”

……

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: When Zhang Ju is in the country, he will be rich in the country, and he will be in Lishu...... Therefore, the official titles given in the past were restored, posthumously Wenzheng, and the title of Jiangling Bo was added, so that the descendants could inherit the ......"

After Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch who came to Jiangling to worship Zhang Juzheng, read out the edict, Zhang Juzheng's fifth son, Zhang Yunxiu, and others choked up and replied: "Thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

Immediately, Zhu Guozuo, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who was also ordered to come to worship, personally helped Zhang Yunxiu up, and said with a smile: "Get up, from now on, your Zhang family is no longer the home of criminal officials, and all the property confiscated from the official family in the past will be returned!" You first discuss with the clan, choose when to worship the Duke of Jiangling, and then come to the post house to inform the servant and the master of ceremonies Liu Gonggong, and then we will worship the Duke of Jiangling according to the order. ”

Liu Ruoyu also smiled and said: "As the elder said, this is the edict of the Ming Fa requested by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and soon after, the two capitals and thirteen provinces will all know that the Duke of Jiangling will be restored to the official title, and your Zhang family will no longer be guilty!" You can rest assured! In addition, the emperor gave 5,000 taels of sacrificial silver, which will be delivered later. ”

"The elder and father-in-law work hard! Late births will obey the instructions. ”

Zhang Yunxiu replied and sent Zhu Guozuo and Liu Ruyu away.

And after sending Zhu Guozuo and Liu Ruyu away, Zhang Yunxiu looked at the holy decree that had arrived in his hand, and his body trembled slightly at every word in it, although it was just an official word written in the standard Taiwan Pavilion style, but it seemed that every word grabbed him and his Zhang family's heart.

For a moment, Zhang Yunxiu couldn't help but kneel down and shouted with tears: "Father! The court has restored your official reputation! I also pursued Wenzheng and rewarded me with the respect of the Earl of the Zhang family, you are always in the sky, but you have peace of mind! Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you can also look at it! Whining! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Yunxiu began to cry.

Zhang Tongchang and other members of the Zhang clan who followed behind Zhang Yunxiu also knelt down, whimpering and crying, and Zhang Tongchang couldn't help shouting: "It is really Mingjun who is in power, and there is hope for the great rule of the world!" ”

……

"Jiangling reinstated, the holy will is brilliant!"

Yuan Keli, the governor who went to Denglai to take office, also saw the "Di Bao" of Zhang Juzheng being restored to his official title here at this time in Shandong Governor Zhao Yan, and couldn't help but sigh for a while.

Obviously, Zhang Gui asked Tianqi to restore Zhang Juzheng's official title, which still inspired some scholars and doctors who had the heart to serve the country.

Zhao Yan also nodded and said: "What the public said is right, in this way, ZTE is also expected!" ”

Yuan Keli said that Zhao Yan suddenly asked, "Have you received the letter?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded and asked, "You also received it?" ”

Yuan Keli nodded.
