On a snowy day, Zhu Yijun went to the construction site of the pagoda to see a lively scene, the Ming Dynasty's science and technology officials and pen officials, in the heavy snow in the soil rammed earth, fortunately it is almost completed, otherwise this New Year will not be good.

Zhu Yijun noticed one thing, that is, even if he was a science and technology official, this clear stream, his life was still extravagant, with a bunch of servants, the emperor made a clear decree to let the science and Taoist officials work, and these traveling servants could only wait outside.

More than 40 Taoist officials, with more than 130 servants, were waiting outside, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"A Kedao official has at least one car to drive, a car and a groom waiting outside, and a servant slave holding a soup woman, for fear that his grandfather will be cold and tired, this is not the end, there is a concubine in this car, waiting to warm the hands of our scholars, if I didn't come to see it today, I wouldn't be able to see this face, the days of the great Ming scholars are really poor and luxurious." Zhu Yijun stood outside the construction site of the pagoda of Dalongxing Temple, looked at the gathered servants outside, and said with deep feelings.

Zhang Juzheng was particularly willing for the emperor to have contact with the auxiliary ministers, courtiers, and courtiers, and he was also willing for the little emperor to move around more, not to live in Jiuzhong like in the late Jiajing period and the Longqing period.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor said that he wanted to go to the construction site to see the appearance of the Yanguan wearing short brown and working, he immediately came to the pagoda construction site from Shanruliu, and the scene of the work was indeed seen.

Zhang Juzheng sighed, helplessly said: "If you go out of Beijing, the pomp is bigger, a few days ago, a seven-grade Taoist official went out of Beijing, went to Jiayuguan to serve, there are more than ten people with the accompanying slaves, this post station only provides food for one person, this official is extremely dissatisfied, to beat the post Cheng, there are seven post soldiers under the post Cheng, almost fighting, the official saw that the post is fierce, so he didn't say much, and played impeachment, to abolish the post station. ”

The reason why the post man of the post station dared to provide only one person with water and food was because this speaker was deprecated, but as long as this official was normally appointed abroad, he would probably have to raise these people with the post station, which was the water and food of more than ten people, which was a lot of money for the post station.

"It's Shi Yingyue who was originally given by Huke, I remember that he impeached Hou Yu Zhao and was demoted to the northwest by me, it seems that he will not change." Zhu Yijun thought about it a little and locked down who this official was.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng nodded, it was indeed Shi Yingyue, after this person was reprimanded, there were too many servant slaves with him, which caused the post station to complain, and Shi Yingyue therefore admonished him to abolish the post station.

Zhang Juzheng only thought that Shi Yingyue was crazy.

The official road of the post road of the Ming Dynasty is an extension of the emperor's imperial power, where the post road extends, where the imperial power extends, no matter how expensive this post station guard must be raised, during the Longqing period because of the lack of national use, the wind public opinion has asked for the abolition of part of the post station in the name of repairing the province several times, but they have been rejected, and now Shi Yingyue talks about this matter again, Zhang Ju knows correctly that Shi Yingyue is crazy.

There are very few Confucian scholars like Zhou Liangyin who have suddenly woken up.

"Where did he let me dismantle the post station, and he clearly made me the king of the dead country." Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this admonition, and Emperor Chongzhen finally abolished the post station because of the big loss of money, and finally abolished the post station under the wind power made by the official, and as a result, Li Zicheng was dismissed.

In the fourth year of Wanli, the situation of the Ming Dynasty was naturally better than that of the Chongzhen period, but it was also limited.

And the reason why Shi Yingyue asked to dismiss the post station was simply that the post station neglected him.

"Not only will it not be abolished, but since this Xingli, this post road will be expanded, this post road will be renovated, and the Daming Department Store will be thoroughfare and the water horse post is the top priority." Zhu Yijun said very solemnly.

"I remember that Mr. talked about history, and said that Xia Yuanji, the head of the household during the Yongle period, once Xia Yuanji's younger brother went to Beijing to visit relatives, and when he finally left, Xia Yuanji gave his younger brother two stones of rice to go home, and that's it, he was impeached by the official for extravagance." The little emperor and the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty looked at the slaves outside the pagoda construction site, and they were deeply touched for a while.

Xia Yuanji, as the head of the Yongle Dynasty, and as Zhu Di's hardcore confidant, if he wants to be greedy, he will definitely give his younger brother more than two stone rice, but Xia Yuanji just has no extra resources to give his younger brother.

Xia Yuanji has been in Yongle for 20 years, and he strongly opposes Zhu Di's continuation of the Northern Expedition, and after so many years of fighting, the national funds are indeed empty, and the biggest reason why Xia Yuanji opposes Zhu Di's personal expedition is that Zhu Di is no longer young, and Zhu Di, who has been fighting for many years, has a lot of old injuries on his body, and should be well recuperated.

However, the first hero of Jingnan, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, rushed forward with the enemy at the beginning, and people were killed and killed, which made Zhu Di feel uneasy if he did not pro-conquest.

In the end, Zhu Di also rode the dragon on the way to the Fifth Northern Expedition.

Xia Yuanji himself is not a corrupt official, two stone rice, he can't even afford a slave, when the King of Han plotted rebellion, Xia Yuanji advocated pro-conquest to prevent accidents, after all, it was also an uncle who beat his nephew.

Zhang Juzheng's life is very extravagant, and the basic cost of the Quanchu Hall is 1,000 taels a year, but Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant of the dynasty and the emperor.

What is the identity and contribution of the official of Kedaoyan, and he is so extravagant!

"Your Majesty, preparing for the establishment of the Xishan Coal Bureau, there will be an accident in the near future." Zhang Juzheng gave the little emperor a preventive shot and told His Majesty that this matter definitely did not end so easily.

Zhu Yijun said quite calmly: "Then come on." ”

"Grand Priest, there is no deference." Zhu Yijun said to Wang Chonggu.

"The minister is terrified." Wang Chonggu was stupid, why didn't he have a heart of deference? This job is done well, and he didn't cut corners by cutting his stomach, so why was he labeled as having no deference.

Zhu Yijun looked at the people coming and going on the construction site, and said helplessly: "Da Si Kou, obviously understood my words, filling the pit, is deliberately embarrassing the science and technology officials, but the big secretary did not embarrass them, this year ago actually ended the construction period, it should be dug and filled, filled and dug and dug and filled, and so on, these science and road officials have suffered a lot, and the next time they speak, they will know the reality of practice, and they will speak after careful investigation." ”

"Correcting the trend of talking about the heart and mind of the DPRK and China is more important than the construction period of the pagoda."

Wang Chonggu completely understood, in order to catch up with the construction period, he arranged a lot of people to work together, most of these science and Taoist officials, most of them are lazy, and the people are still working, he just wants to repair the pagoda quickly, and His Majesty is more concerned about wind power public opinion.

"Just do these few days of work, they can scold for decades, if they are allowed to do a few months of work, wouldn't they have to scold for a few lifetimes?" Mr. Wang expressed his concerns.

After a few days of work, you can scold for decades, Wang Chonggu's words are based on the practice of the truth, and the flow of people to the side, even if they later forgive their families, after their families returned to their hometowns, they began to write small compositions, and they wrote for decades.

Wang Chonggu has enough infamy, so he didn't criticize him too much.

"Let's dig ten times first, let them dig when it's filled, and so on ten times, I said, I'm not satisfied with the work that Kechen did, and I'm cheating and tricking, so it's decided." Zhu Yijun saw that Wang Chonggu refused to bear this infamy, so he came in person.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty falsely accuses and sits, since they say that the great priest cut corners, I can also say that they are cheating and slippery, this is not too much, that is, digging ten times, and then backfilling ten times, I am not not not giving them food."

He is young, and he is cool and young.

"Obey." Wang Chonggu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the officials who were working, full of sympathy, His Majesty's eyes rolled, it was a torturous idea, and the reason was very good, cheating and tricking.

"Gone." Zhu Yijun left the pagoda construction site with his hands behind his back.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu saluted respectfully again.

"Yuanfu, I must advise Your Majesty to be benevolent, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty rely on Mr. Yuanfu." Wang Chonggu looked at the back of the little emperor, where is this child, it is clearly a monster.

"I'm a little alone and a little bit alone, let the big priest enter the cabinet, but the big boss refuses to live or die." Zhang Juzheng's tone was filled with strong emotion.

"This matter still has to be done, Mr. is the emperor." It is difficult for Wang Chonggu to imagine what kind of catastrophe will happen to these ministers after His Majesty takes office.

It was night, the sky fluttered with three days of goose feathers and heavy snow finally stopped, the sky finally cleared, the long-lost bright moon, hanging high in the heavenly palace, sprinkled a piece of silver and white on the earth, the inside and outside of the Beijing division was covered in silver, in the days of heavy snowfall, people rarely went out, the street became more and more deserted, the men in the building, still in the streets and alleys to knock gongs and bangzi, shouting: the sky is dry and careful of the candles.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! With a loud shout, the husband's face changed greatly when he heard this, he looked in the northwest direction, and began to beat the gong non-stop, telling people that the water was gone.

Daming is cautious and cautious to set off fireworks every New Year, because the Beijing division is all wooden structure, as long as there is a fire burning, it is all in pieces, and the husbands beat gongs and drums, which is to remind everyone to leave the house quickly, and come out to fight the fire together to prevent it from burning to their own homes.

Qiaolou saw the fire and immediately began to dispatch, heading towards the fire, which was located at the mouth of the coal market.

There are two coal markets in the capital of Daming, the inner city and the outer city, one in Xizhimen and one in Guangning Gate, and it is the largest coal market in Guangning Gate.

A considerable part of the coal transported into the city from the Mentougou coal kiln in Jingxi by the chai bearer is stacked and sold here, hence the name, and the waterway that connects the Jinshui River and the moat, there is a stone bridge on it, which is called the Coal Market Bridge.

The street at the entrance of the coal market is all engaged in the business of collecting and distributing coal frying.

This burned, the fire was soaring, the smoke was billowing out, and there were people running around to put out the fire, and the husband was walking in the street, and when the fire was burning, the husband was already hammering the door, but it was still inevitable that someone was asleep, feeling the heat, and dying in the fire.

Zhu Yijun heard the noise in the middle of the night, sat up suddenly, put on a big hat, and walked out of his bedroom, already seeing Wang Yaozhuo waiting at the door, looking extremely anxious.

"Is it Takusa who burns up?" Zhu Yijun's face is still calm, there was a fire at the beginning of the fourth year of Wanli, and another fire at the end of the year, his complexion is complicated, is he so hated? But Wang Chonggu has said many times that the richer and more exciting the Ming is, the more wealth the meat eaters will be, which is a complementary result.

It's not that the powerful people are directly confiscated, but the wealth is concentrated in the imperial court.

Zhu Yijun couldn't understand why he, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Tan Lun, and Wang Guoguang were so hated, and they hated so much that they had to kill themselves to finish? Zhang Siwei set fire to the palace, the big case has just come to an end, and he hasn't taken a breath yet, this is happening again.

"No, the news from outside the palace is that the coal market is burning." Wang Yaozhuo hurriedly replied, if Baoqi Si was burning, Wang Yaozhuo would have broken into the dormitory in disregard of etiquette, righteousness and shame and shook the little emperor awake.

Wang Yaozhuo slept very shallowly, which is related to the fact that she is used to living a precarious life, and she will wake up with a little movement, after the coal market is burned, Wang Yaozhuo will get up when she hears the sound, not Baoqisi is on fire, she is also waiting in front of the door, Your Majesty is awake, just waiting, Your Majesty is not awake, just waiting.

"Oh, it's not Takakiji that's on fire, it's the coal market... Coal market! Zhu Yijun immediately woke up, and the coal market burned!

Zhu Yijun immediately climbed the Wenhua Building, looking at the south direction of the coal market, the firelight had burned half the day red, he frowned and looked at the sky, tightened his grip.

In the early morning of the next day, the court meeting was held as usual, and the coal market fire case became a major and important case.

"One hundred and twenty-seven people were killed in the fire, including three firemen, because they were martyred, and the ministers thought it was appropriate to build a shrine of loyalty and bravery." Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, first sought the name of the fireman, and the construction standard of the Loyal and Brave Temple was: if the soldier died to save the head of the Qian, then the Loyal and Brave Temple was built to commemorate the meritorious service.

The Loyal and Brave Temple is not large, and there is an inscription in an octagonal pavilion, which is engraved with the details of the heroic sacrifice of the soldiers to save the people.

People may forget their efforts, just like Chen Youren slandered the southern soldiers led by Qi Jiguang of Pingwei, but the stone will remember.

"That's right." Zhu Yijun immediately nodded and said.

There is no objection to this, the fireman belongs to the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division serve as the soldiers, and the fireman knows better than ordinary people that water and fire are ruthless, but he still deserves this honor for saving the martyrs.

"Have you found out the cause of the fire?" Zhu Yijun asked eagerly.

Wang Chonggu's brows twisted into a pimple, and he shook his head and said, "No, the fire is burned clean." ”

Arson is the most difficult case to investigate, Zhang Siwei dared to set fire to the palace, but he also found out that this kind of case could not be found at all, but the palace was full of report boxes, from before the fire burned, some people had already heard that there was a fire, which was determined to be man-made rather than a natural disaster, and followed this clue to investigate.

The fire at the mouth of the coal market has no advance information at all, and there is no way to investigate it at all, even if it is an inspection, clues and intelligence, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

"It's just snowed, the weather is unusually dry, and it's easy to get fires with coal for heating, and it happens a few times a year in winter, but this one is exceptional." Zhang Juzheng believes that it is not an accident, but man-made, and the reason for this judgment is that the coal market is on fire.

You must know that where the coal is piled up, there is not even a stove, but for fear of fire, many coal yards will set up isolation belts to prevent the fire from spreading to their homes, and it is close to the Jinshui River and the moat, and there are also firemen around, and the speed of this fire is so fast that even the firemen have put their lives into it.

In addition, the preparation of the Xishan Coal Bureau touched the interests of some people, so Zhang Juzheng thought it was artificial.

"Actually, you can check it too." Wang Chonggu raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, just look at who has released a large amount of coal recently, and that's it." ”

"If it is really man-made, then it must be that some people have transferred their own coal fried in advance, the road is closed by heavy snow, and the coal market is pointed again, and the price of coal will inevitably rise to the sky.

"The fire did burn out all the evidence, if it was man-made, it must be for profit, just find the person who hoarded and transferred the coal in advance."

Wang Chonggu provided another angle to investigate the case.

The palace of the Ming Dynasty was originally leaking around like a sieve, the content of the court discussion, this side has not yet ended the court discussion, the outer court already knows it clearly, with the continuous increase of Feng Bao's report box, coupled with the arson case of Zhang Siwei, the Empress Dowager Li is like a crazy Qing Palace, and now the news in the palace is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Therefore, as long as there are no traitors among the courtiers, there is indeed a possibility that this case will be investigated.

Zhu Yijun recognized Wang Chonggu's suggestion very much, he thought about it and said: "Stop the Dingjian project, and the people will go to the Xishan official kiln to push coal, and in the future, this egg can't be put in one basket." ”

Zhu Yijun plans to work hard to repair the craftsmen of the palace, and the median wage of Wang Chonggu for the craftsmen of Dingjian is eleven taels of silver per person per year, which is to catch up with the construction period.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, are not very demanding, give the money on time, if you let you work more, give more money, even if you don't give more money, give some meat, if there are two taels of wine, then the craftsmen are also willing to work, and it is happy.

If you look closely, the craftsmen are actually very similar to the border soldiers, and if you give half a salary, you can be safe and stable, and you can repel the invading enemy by filling your stomach.

I'm afraid that I won't even give half a salary and a full meal, and there is absolutely no enthusiasm for this production.

Wang Chonggu gave enough wages to the craftsmen, completely because he was afraid that Ding Jian's big work would delay His Majesty's wedding, and that would be a dead end.

Therefore, let the craftsmen carry the coal and ensure the supply of coal, the craftsmen are willing to do it, after all, the supply of coal is insufficient, and it will really freeze to death, and many people will freeze to death.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

After Wang Chonggu received the order, he left the Wenhua Hall directly, and he didn't even participate in the whole court meeting, and concentrated on supervising the matter.

"The governor of Luzon, surnamed Zhengmao, sent a song, and Yin Butang talked about the Ming Dynasty in the song." Zhang Juzheng took out a notebook, his face was a little strange, Yin Zhengmao didn't seem to have correctly realized that he was already a prince of one side of the separatist party, and he regarded himself as a Ming courtier, and actively participated in the discussion of Ming state affairs.

For example, Yin Zhengmao, who was far away in Luzon, was still very concerned about the Daming Haicao and was a staunch supporter of the seaborne grain.

Zhang Juzheng circulated Yin Zhengmao's recital and explained: "Yin Butang said that if the Ming Dynasty does not ship grain, then Luzon will not have to collect taxes, and where taxes cannot be collected, then it is not the land of the Ming Dynasty, after all, from Luzon to the Ming Dynasty, it can only be sea-Cao, so he supports the sea-shipping grain, and the household department gave Liu Lu in the matter, Yang Yikui, the Caochu political officer, and Liu Guangji, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, echoed one after another, asking for a firm Haicao matter. ”

Hai Rui looked at Song Shu and said: "The ministers and other overseas ministers of Luzon can learn from their loyalty, how can Your Majesty abandon the ministers and others." ”

Yin Zhengmao is in the song, directly on the platform, Haicao must be done, and to continue, to solve the technical problems, to solve the administrative problems, if there is no Haicao, the Ming court is not Luzon! It's spoil!

Whoever opposes Haicao is a courtier and thief who abandons the land! Who is the national thief!

The key is Yin Zhengmao's logic, not forcibly on the line, it is impossible to refute it at all, Luzon has the brass, gold, tung oil, fish oil, sugar cubes and maritime security that the Ming Dynasty needs, and the Luzon Governorate is the front line of the struggle between the Ming Dynasty and Hongmaofan.

"Isn't this a hemp pole to beat the wolf at both ends?" Wan Shihe said with a smile: "The imperial court is worried about the secession of Luzon, and Luzon is worried that the imperial court will abandon it. ”

The surname Ye of Luzon is actually copied from the surname of Ye Mu Wangfu of Yunnan State, one is on the border and the other is overseas, and they have successful experiences.

"I agree with what Yin Butang said, giving up Haicao is equivalent to giving up Luzon, which is equivalent to the sin of abandoning the land, and if you say this, you will be a national thief." Tan Lun agreed with Yin Zhengmao's proposal, and this kind of trick will not only be played by the Confucians, but also by the ministers.

Haicao used to be a technical problem, but after Zhang Juzheng made the Cao grain box, this is not a problem, as long as the ship can return to normal at sea, then the freight of Haicao will inevitably be cheaper than that of Hecao, which will greatly alleviate the dilemma of food shortage in Xuanda, Gyeonggi, and Liaodong.

The lack of grain in the north is not only a natural endowment, but also the entry of the 29th year of Jiajing and the first year of Longqing, which caused the flight of farmers in the Gyeonggi area, and the impact is extremely far-reaching.

Zhang Juzheng's answer is at least ten years.

Huang Taiji, the small chieftain of Taqing Qing, was very good at this trick, and he entered the Kou from Xifengkou when he had nothing to do, plundered Gyeonggi, and plundered the people, repeatedly, so for more than ten years, he hollowed out Gyeonggi into a no-man's land, and the population loss of Gyeonggi further worsened the dilemma of food shortage in the north.

The canal is not abandoned, on the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is still maintaining the canal, if Haicao can really become a long-term national policy, then the Grand Canal, the main artery of the empire, will be more energetic because of the capacity is no longer delayed.

When the grain entered Beijing, the river was closed, and in order to hide the goods in the Cao boat when the river was closed, the merchants had to find ways to hide the goods in the Cao boat and transport them to the north. The shipping of grain will further release the vitality of the canal.

It is a political task to bring grain into Beijing, and this thing has almost become a burden that consumes national strength, but sea transportation requires technology, and the sea ship that transports grain by sea is indeed easy to capsize.

"Yin Butang said that they hunted a giant whale near the big island of Mindanao, and paid tribute to 127 catties of ambergris, 300 catties of shark oil, and 10,000 catties of fish oil." Wang Guoguang finished reading Yin Zhengmao's recital.

The naval battle in Mindanao entered a boring confrontation time, and the governor of Luzon, Yin Zhengmao, could not help the red haired fan who shrunk into the fortified city, and the red haired fan could not win in the naval battle, and in this garbage time, the big ship captured a giant whale.

Ambergris is worth 80 taels of silver, and this 127 catties of ambergris is worth more than 160,000 silver in Nanya, ambergris is a top spice, and shark oil is a top lighting fish oil, which burns cleaner and the flame is bright and stable.

Fishing and oil refining have become a pillar industry in Manila, and this sea monster is indeed almost invincible in the sea, but humans are at the top of the food chain.

According to Zhu Yijun's temperament, ambergris will be sold in Huangzhuang for cash, rather than as a luxury item for personal use.

If you can sell for money, you can sell it for money.

"Guizhou Governor Jiang Yilin inscribed Miao Min Ye Thief did not have more than 270,000 acres of official land, in order to build a new county Changning, in order to rule Jiuning for a long time." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the latest progress of the Ministry of Officials' recent implementation of land reform and return to the stream.

This Miao Ye thief, named Ye Kai, the leader of the Miao tribe, took advantage of the danger to cause trouble, violated the Miao people, seized the official land, and ran rampant, and Jiang Yilin's means of dealing with this hereditary Tusi was a divisive plan, and finally destroyed Ye Kai's lair, and played the removal of the Tusi and changed Changning County.

The cost of the construction of Changning County was sponsored by the deceased Ye Kai.

The court meeting was quickly passed, and Jiang Yilin was therefore promoted to the imperial history of the capital and the head of the household department, and he was still the governor of Guizhou, and he was also the head of the household department, which means that there is a vacancy in the household department, and Jiang Yilin is qualified to enter the Beijing Hall as a waiter.

This step is extremely difficult for foreign officials.

Zhu Yijun is more curious about how Jiang Yilin solved this leaf thief, this leaf thief's toast has been arrogant from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty Wanli for four years, it can be said that it is deep-rooted, and it has not been solved for so many years, how did Jiang Yilin get rid of the illness as soon as he got started?

After asking the reason, Zhu Yijun could only say that the reader's mind was really dirty.

Ye Kai is lustful, at the end of May of the fourth year of Wanli, Ye Kai robbed a beauty into the mountain, a knife on the head of the color word, this beauty is Jiang Yilin's knife, the beauty is really beautiful, less than two months, the beauty took advantage of Ye Kai's sleep, and stabbed him to death.

The more beautiful the woman, the more she will deceive people, this beauty killed Ye Kai, and the cottage started infighting in order to compete for the position.

This beauty was originally Ye Kai's family members who were robbed in the place of disaster, Jiang Yilin deliberately looked for it, and when the cottage was breached, the beauty was already dead, and Jiang Yilin buried her.

The inscription of the Ministry of Industry said that there was a shortage of wood in the Taiji factory, and he asked for orders to go to Yizhen Guazhou and other places to buy wood, and the price of wood in Beiya was expensive, and even buying wood from Yangzhou to Beijing was cheaper than buying it around.

Zhu Yijun has ordered to stop using golden silk nanmu to build the palace, but the Taiji factory still used up the accumulated wood.

There is no wood, and there is no firewood, which is the reason why the north is full of yellow sand in the spring, and the trees are also white.

"The young master, the prince and the prince, the secretary of the ministry, and the scholar of the Zhongji Temple Zhang Juzheng have been evaluated for nine years. Wan Shihe made a big deal, and with the results of the nine-year examination, he invited Zhang Juzheng to the position of Taifu and was specially promoted to the Chong Rank.

"Accurate!" Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate, the more he looked at Wan Shihe, the more pleasing he became, Zhang Juzheng resigned and was promoted many times, whether he was promoted or not, he couldn't help you Zhang Juzheng!

"The minister has "Resignation at the End of the Examination". Zhang Juzheng still wants to resign.

He had already predicted that the little emperor would promote him before the year, and prepared four letters of resignation.

Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!!
