"Zhao Jinqing!"

Seeing this, Shen Tao shouted at Zhao Bifan, his eyes were like fire, staring at him: "Why are you so shameless!" ”

"Kneeling down to the monarch's father is a manifestation of shame."

Zhao Bifan got up and patted the ashes on his hands, said very suddenly, and asked, "Do you think that scholars should not bow down to their father?" ”

Shen Tao almost wanted to grit his molars, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Qin Hongzhi could only widen his eyes like bull's eyes, and after a long while, he asked:

"Why?"

Zhao Bifan saw that Qin Hongzhi spoke politely, so he replied seriously:

"This time I took five hundred jinshi, undoubtedly the best chance of being the first, and I have failed three times, how many years can I not go in this life?"

"yes, it's a pity to miss it this time, or forget it."

Shizi Zuo Jinxian also followed suit.

The scholar Zhu Guozuo also followed at this time and said: "That's right, the court is a conspiracy, just like a grace order, you can only be grateful, and you can't be dissatisfied, otherwise you don't know how to lift." ”

"Don't know how to lift?"

Qin Hongzhi sneered and asked Zhu Guozuo: "Don't you care about the harsh government, will the traitorous party ignore it, and won't Mr. Fu'an save it?" ”

Zhu Guozuo just smiled, and then left the hall.

Immediately after that, other lifters left the place.

Shen Tao looked at this scene coldly, and after most of the people had left, Qin Hongzhi, who came here, asked:

"What now?"

Qin Hongzhi said: "Shenwu County and other traitors tried to use this trick to arrest Mr. Huafuan and not abolish the harsh government, which is not unintelligent, but it is not impossible. ”

"What's the solution?"

Shen Tao asked.

Qin Hongzhi looked at the scholars who were leaving one after another downstairs, and sneered:

"Although the traitorous party in the DPRK and China cannot be cleaned up now, it is still possible to clean up these cowardly people who forget their righteousness for the sake of petty profits, so that the boycott of the examination is effective enough, and it is still possible to force the officials of the DPRK and the Central and Southern Governments to force the Son of Heaven!"

Shen Tao also looked at these scholars who left one after another: "It is true that they can't only be afraid of the law of the country and not afraid of people's words!" ”

……

"Words are terrible, but the law of the land cannot be blasphemed!"

On this day, Zhu Yijun talked to the ruling ministers in the political hall about how to deal with Wu Zhongxing and others.

Wu Zhongxing and others were escorted to Beijing, which eventually caused a great repercussion among the courtiers.

There are also many courtiers who pleaded for Wu Zhongxing and others, and said that the country should treat Confucian ministers politely, otherwise it may make the hearts of the people in the world.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also formally put forward his views on the ruling minister in the political affairs hall.

"I said that ten years ago in Wanli, the lord Shaoguo doubted that although Mr. Bingguo was loyal and iron-fisted, he was not a monarch in the end, so it was inevitable that hundreds of officials would be more common to the law and discipline; But ten years after Wanli, if you do this again, you will be proud of your grace! Therefore, we can't help but punish severely! ”

"Although he Wu Zhongxing is quite popular and is still a well-known Confucian minister in the world, it doesn't mean that he can mess with the law."

Zhu Yijun added a few more words as he spoke.

After hearing this, Shen Shixing first said: "What Your Majesty said is that Wu Zhongxing and others bribed the ministers of the DPRK and China, disrupted national affairs, formed a party to drill camps, and were arrested by Jinyi Wei and taken into Beijing, which is a manifestation of the rule of the officials!" ”

"And now, the so-called people in the world are all unhappy with Wu Zhongxing, but in fact, they are not from the world, but the majority of the scholars in the world, and they manipulate their speech;"

"In the opinion of the ministers, if we really want to avoid making these people manipulate their speeches and make the public opinion of the world become a narrow statement, we can only really instigate the people of the world to defend the new policy and protect the fair public opinion!"

"Go on."

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Shen Shixing said yes, and said: "Wang Wencheng has been worshiped in the Temple of Literature, and the essence of Wang Xue lies in the daily use of the people; Taishi also strongly advocated that the world is the world of the Ming people, not only the world of Shilin, so to protect the new policy and protect the fair public opinion, it is not just the ministers and a few other ministers and His Majesty, but also rely on the people in the market. ”

Shen Shixing looked at Pan Cheng, Liang Menglong and others as he spoke: "Since the ruling party is not only to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but also to benefit the people, since the common people are benefited by the imperial court, they also have to take responsibility for the affairs of the imperial court, and they should also be responsible!" ”

"Therefore, let the people know what the consequences will be if Wu Zhongxing and others abolish the new policy, and organize them to defend the new policy together!"

"It's exactly what I want!"

"According to the remarks obtained by copying Wu Zhongxing and others, what they mainly advocate for abolishing is not only for the government affairs that are beneficial to the small people and soldiers, but also for the government affairs that are beneficial to the orphans of the army."

"On the people's side, the matter of guarding the new deal is the responsibility of the caretaker."

"On the side of the army's orphans, the matter of guarding the new policy is the responsibility of Jinyiwei, especially Jinyiwei's own orphans."

Zhu Yijun nodded and ordered.

Shen Shixing proposed again: "Your Majesty, the most important thing in punishing the great evildoers among the Confucian ministers is that there can be no change in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan, and there is Haigong in Jiangnan, but it is fine, and now the governors of Gyeonggi and Jiliao are more important than border defense, so it is better to set up another Beizhi Governor, who is in charge of the military and civil affairs of several counties in Jinnei that the Governor of Baoding and the Governor of Shuntian are responsible for, and only let the Governor of Jiliao be responsible for the affairs of Jizhou and Liaodong." ”

"At the same time, he is also the Minister of Northern Coastal Defense, as a sea arrest thief and trade management!"

Zhu Yijun added at this time.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"The minister recommends the young Sima Zeng Gong Province to me for this position."

"Zeng Gong is decisive in killing, diligent in his work, and good at organizing the people, so he can do this."

Shen Shixing said at this time.

"Accurate!"

Zhu Yijun shook his head.

Because the ruling ministers are all the emperor's party, after Zhu Yijun agreed, he had no objections.

"Zeng Qu'an has always been known for his ruthlessness, how could the imperial court let him be the governor of Beizhi? I'm afraid that the Gyeonggi magnates will not be safe from now on! ”

Soon after the imperial court issued the edict of the governor of Zeng Xingwu Beizhi, Wang Xijue hurriedly found Shen Shixing to mention the matter.

"This is the result of the agreement of the political affairs hall, and no one dares to make it."

Shen Shixing lied.

Wang Xijue didn't debunk it after hearing this, but only sighed: "It's okay!" As I said before, now I have to let those who oppose the reform know that it hurts, but it's time for Zhang Puzhou to go, right? ”

"Let him go back to the court first."

"This matter of the head falling to the ground, only the head can dissuade Your Majesty!"

Shen Shixing said helplessly.

Wang Xijue nodded.

Next.

In the middle of the matter, Ye Shixin wrote a letter to impeach Zhang Siwei's corpse, saying that he had been sick for too long, and he was suspected of pretending to be sick and bullying the king.

It didn't take long for the cabinet to vote for a fine of half a year on Ye Shixin, which was an exaggeration.

Peng!

After Zhang Siwei knew about this, he threw a piece of porcelain he was watching on the ground: "Shenwu County is too deceitful!" I was only willing to quietly hand the knife behind my back, but I was asked to do the murder! ”

Although Zhang Siwei was furious, he still returned to the imperial department and thanked the emperor for his illness, and he did not dare to resign at this time.

During this period, Zeng Xingwu and Jinyiwei both commanded Zhai Rujing, who had also begun to organize official missions, to publicize Wu Zhongxing and other threats to abolish the new policy to the people and the orphans of Jinyiwei and other pro-army guards, so that they would know the benefits.

Wait until the first night of the eleventh year of Wanli.

When the boycott turmoil seemed to have disappeared again, Fu Zhicheng, Wen Jiafan, and Duan Qingshan, the soldiers of Xingming Academy, who were orphaned in the military, were preparing to go to the Jingshi City to find an inn to rent and prepare for the exam.

But the three of them encountered a gang of robbers near Xishan.

"Where are your scholars?"

Lu Chong, the leader of the robbers, asked about the three people at this time.

"We are from Huangzhuang Xingming Academy, do you dare to rob it?!"

At this time, Fu Zhicheng asked in a deep voice.

"It's the people from Xingming Academy who are fighting!"

Shen Tao walked out of a gazebo inside at this time, hugged the fire, and said with a smile.

And then, he instructed Lu Chong: "Since it is from Xingming Academy, kill it directly, you don't have to keep your wealth and let it go!" According to Mr. Fu'an's words, these people will all become lucky in the future, and if you kill one more person from Xingming Academy, you will be one less lucky! ”

"Pick up!"

Fu Zhicheng shouted at this time, Wen Jiafan and Duan Qingshan hurriedly stuck to the left and right sides of Fu Zhicheng's back, and pulled out the scribe's sword.

Among them, Wen Jiafan also asked Shen Tao: "Your Excellency is also a Confucian scholar, why did you collude with the robbers and kill me in Xingming Academy?!" ”

"After the Son of Heaven still calls us loyal martyrs, we are not allowed to be treated slowly by the internal prisoners, and we are treated as national soldiers, so you are not afraid of killing us, it will damage the face of the Son of Heaven, will it provoke Long Yan to be angry?!"

Shen Tao smiled coldly: "What does it matter to us that the thief killed?" It is inevitable that there will be thieves in Gyeonggi throughout the year, especially at the end of the year. ”

At this time, Lu Chong also commanded seven big men under his command to kill Fu Zhicheng with a simple knife.

Not long after, I saw the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, and then five big men fell to the ground, the fingers of their right hands were cut off, and they cried heartbreakingly, and two other big men were killed on the spot, and blood gushed from their throats.

"They've practiced military formations!"

"The standard Jizhou border army way!"

Lu Chong couldn't help but say to Shen Tao.

Shen Tao also sank his face: "Use the fire gun!" Anyway, they are all going to be killed, not afraid of exposure, give an extra five hundred taels afterwards, and you can escape by yourself to make a living! ”

"All you have to do is give the money!"

After Lu Chong said with a smile, he turned around and took the fire gun that had been filled with medicine hidden in the woods, lit the fire rope, and then pulled the trigger on Fu Zhicheng and the others.

"Ahh

Fu Zhicheng fell to the ground on the spot, covered his right chest, and said loudly: "Why do you want to kill us?!" ”

"Kneel down and beg for mercy and don't kill!"

Shen Tao sneered.

Seeing this, Wen Jiafan and Duan Qing protected Fu Zhicheng in the middle, and Wen Jiafan said coldly: "We are cultivated by His Majesty, how can we beg for mercy, if you want to kill, you will kill!" ”

Shen Tao's face sank, pointed at Wen Jiafan, and shouted: "Kill him first!" ”

Lu Chong, who had reloaded the bullet, immediately lifted the bird gun and aimed it at Wen Jiafan.

"Stop!"

"If you really want to kill the filial piety of this dynasty and the orphans of the martyrs, you should think about your nine clans first!"

At this time, a loud shout appeared on the hill.

Shi Shiyong, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, took a large group of Jinyiwei at this time and surrounded him from the mountains and forests.
