After Zhang Juzheng returned to the court, the courtiers were relieved, someone stopped His Majesty from tyranny, it was too important, at this time, everyone understood the role of Zhang Juzheng, as for the rotten Confucians who were clamoring for Zhang Juzheng to continue to worry, the Confucian students in the court would shut up this rotten Confucian.

The court discussion is proceeding in an orderly manner, but unlike Zhang Juzheng who was a referee and a player before, the current Zhang Juzheng does not interfere too much in the emperor's decision-making.

"Today, there are demon monks in western Beijing, such as Deng, who gather disciples to give lectures, claim to build towers and recruit people, sound lewd dogs and horses, and fabricate slanders, which are obtained by Tiqi and Dongchang." Zhang Juzheng took a book and said: "The minister thinks that this demon monk is evil and confuses the public, and according to the law, he should be beaten with a hundred sticks and repatriated to his hometown to take away his degree, and he should still be on the list of the Ministry of Rites, and it is strictly forbidden to travel monks, and the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities Imperial History Yatang Soap Servant, and expelled it. ”

The demon monk who can make Zhang Juzheng move to the Wenhua Hall is a monk with a name, a surname and a law name, and he is obviously not an ordinary demon monk.

Gathering disciples to give lectures, violating the ban of the imperial court, more than 3,000 people in just one meeting, and this demon monk Rudeng, gathered to sell silk coins, not worsted woolen silk coins, but cotton silk coins that have been opened, mainly because of the scarcity of opening, not the scarcity of worsted woolen production, which is similar to the indulgence coupons identified by the Buddha.

And to build a pagoda to raise the fate, is to seek wealth, said to build a tower, this grass and trees, a mountain and a water are all owned land, even if there is no owner, the mountains and rivers also belong to the court to His Majesty, this guy does not even have a land, to build a tower, obviously is cheating money, and there are not a few who are fooled.

For these two items, nearly 10,000 taels of donations have been raised in just seven days, and I don't know if this Master Rudeng has deceived him, or that some people have done too much bad things and want to find peace of mind, the Buddha has forgiven me, and I can forgive myself.

Vocal lewd dogs and horses, is to send a child, is indeed a child, but the means is not to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, but to have sex in a secret room, with his apprentices, a kind of drug from Nanyang called the treasure of Fulu, after people take it, the soul is ignorant, I don't know what happened, and the strange thing is that none of them have been revealed, or they have figured it out afterwards.

fabricated slander, it was to clamor the black-hearted prime minister to lie on the dragon bed at night, saying that this Zhang Ju had an affair with the Empress Dowager Li when he was in the Yuwang Mansion, the child of the Ming Emperor, maybe who is the father, otherwise Zhang Juzheng is so respectful of sovereignty and does not transgress? Such power, but not encroachment, is the only reason for this explanation.

It's just that there is no documentary evidence for this slanderous statement, only word of mouth, and it cannot be convicted definitely.

For the emperor, this is a case that is getting blacker and darker, and the more it is explained, the more it looks like there is something, and it can only be dealt with coldly, which is why these are running all day long.

These two crimes are related to the next three roads.

Zhang Juzheng said that he would be beaten with a hundred sticks according to the law, and then repatriated to his hometown to take away his degree, and it was strictly forbidden to wander monks.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng is so gentle is actually related to the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li believes in Buddhism, and she has to be cautious in dealing with demon monks.

In addition to the rules and precepts, there are still judicial privileges of the monks.

"This fang really deserves to die, if it weren't for the degree, it should be beheaded for adultery." On behalf of the Criminal Department, Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, expressed his opinion and recommended amputation from the neck down.

Hai Rui thought for a long time and said: "This country has national laws, the family has family rules, this monk temple has clear rules, since he does not follow the rules and precepts, he should be expelled from the Buddha's door, don't let the Buddha be ashamed because of him, and then behead him with adultery, I don't know what the great priest thinks?" ”

"What Mr. Hai said is very true!" Wang Chonggu's eyes lit up, he never thought that he, a traitor, would one day be able to cooperate with Hai Rui.

This trick was expelled from the Buddha first, and then it became silky and reasonable, and it was easy for Empress Dowager Li to explain.

Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui, then at Wang Chonggu, nodded and said, "That's it, let's go through the process of beheading the public." ”

"Sir, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said.

"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng shuddered suddenly, and looked at His Majesty sluggishly, this difficult and miscellaneous case, how could it force out the three words of confusion, Zhang Juzheng was a little stressed about these three words, and he was trembling when he heard these three words.

The ministers looked at Zhang Juzheng, all of them were full of question marks, Zhang Juzheng was not afraid of the sky, he was not afraid of the earth, he was actually afraid of these three words?

Since Zhang Juzheng lectured on the feast in the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of teaching, and it was difficult for the courtiers to understand the power of these three words on Zhang Juzheng.

"I heard that this Altan Khan turned his back on the Immortal Heaven and converted to Buddhism, and it is good to believe in Buddhism, since these wandering monks are going around to deceive people, why don't they all be captured and sent to Altan Khan to preach? Isn't he a Buddhist? "Zhu Yijun is confused today, not to knock on Mr. Ideological Steel Seal, Zhang Juzheng's ideological steel seal is not much left, and the poor Kou Mo chases.

Zhu Yijun came up with a set of solutions to heresy, these wandering monks are not easy to deal with, and they cheat money everywhere, demagoguery, and send them to the grassland to preach, thinking about it, the Buddha must be satisfied.

The courtiers were all dazzled, Your Majesty's idea, so lacking... No, it's a good student!

Da Ming didn't want it, Altan Khan looked around, and he didn't need me to look for it, Da Ming packed these monks and sent them over, and the dilemma was solved.

Believe in Buddhism, after the Liao State believed in Buddhism, they began to peck each other with the rookies of the Northern Song Dynasty, you can't help me, I can't help you, the grassland is a big country, the Northern Song Dynasty has no barrier in the Yanshan Mountains, and the two countries can survive for so long, which is really surprising.

After believing in Buddhism, the aggressiveness will quickly become weak.

"Do you have any objections? Be bold and outspoken. Zhu Yijun looked at the courtier, he just suddenly had such an idea, and he was not sure whether it was good or bad.

The reason why Altan Khan believed in Buddhism instead of believing in Changshengtian was because he betrayed the steppe and became the king of the Ming Dynasty, and believing in Changshengtian could not bring him cohesion and centripetal force, so Altan Khan chose to believe in Buddhism, which is a practical political need.

Zhu Yijun is not sure whether this move is good or bad, after all, sending the monks over will definitely increase the cohesion of Altan Khan, which is counterproductive and not good.

Tan Lun thought for a moment, looked at Qi Jiguang and said, "Qi Shuai, I think this wandering monk is fine, what does Qi Shuai think?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks so, the wandering monk is not a sitting monk." Qi Jiguang answered this question and gave His Majesty a reference opinion.

Most of the wandering monks were driven out because they did not respect the rules and precepts, and the wandering monks all took refuge, and the famous mountains and temples must be courteous.

Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang have been in the southeast for a long time, compared with the north, there are more believers in the south, Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang have come into contact with these wandering monks, they are all traitors, they can't provide any benefits to the rule, only harm.

Wandering monks? It's just a rogue.

Altan Khan's banner of believing in Buddhism has been played, and he can't go back on his word, so the Ming Dynasty sent these wandering monks to the outside of the Saiwai and left them to fend for themselves.

What's more interesting is that this demon monk was discovered by Dongchang and the horsemen together, it was when the fans of the Dongchang went to the Xishan Temple to offer incense, and listened to the monks in the temple report and report, and then the knights visited and investigated and arrested, and it was not reported by the sages and gentry of the countryside who had a green grassland on their heads.

Since the village sages and gentry went to ask for children, they probably knew their own problems, and they didn't want to make a fuss known to everyone.

The motivation of the monk's report is very interesting, before it causes a catastrophe, he quickly disposes of this demon monk, if the demon monk really makes a civil rebellion in Gyeonggi, the Ming Emperor's authority will be punished, and the monks in these temples will also be affected by the pond fish.

A true friend of the dead Dao does not die in the poor Dao.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng wrote the floating ticket and submitted it to the emperor, and Zhang Juzheng highlighted a non-stick pan in this matter.

The matter was not that he stabbed into the Wenhua Palace, it was Neifan and Tiqi who investigated the case, and he didn't want to kill people in terms of decision-making, but as a result, Hai Rui and Wang Chonggu cooperated to kill people, and the disposal of the convection monks was to make the saint, the idea was made by the emperor, and it was Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang who nailed the coffin.

Zhang Juzheng did not have any responsibility for the further rectification of Buddhism, and the Empress Dowager Li could not complain about his head Zhang Juzheng.

"Tianjin Right Guard, soldier Zhang Rong and more than ten other people, gathered to set up a furnace, privately minted copper coins, according to the investigation, the criminal department ordered the guard palm seal patrol officer to prepare a crime to deal with." Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took out a book of songs.

The prohibition of private minting is a national policy set since the Ming Dynasty minted money, but it has not been implemented.

In the first month of the sixth year of Wanli (chapter 283), Zhang Xueyan entered the dynasty as the head of the household department, and once proposed that the private caster be beheaded, Zhu Yijun told the wealthy at that time that the private cast should not be privately cast, with the increase in the scale of the Ming official casting, the emperor will really kill.

There has been an edict prohibiting private minting of copper coins in the direction, but it has not been implemented, this is because it cannot be implemented, and the current Ming official casting is really unable to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty, so it can only turn a blind eye.

Zhang Juzheng took the note, looked at it for a long time, and said: "What is cast is only iron money, and it is only two hundred yuan a year." ”

There is no copper in the copper coin, all of them are iron, and the guards can't get copper, and even the Ming court has to rely on the southwest Yunnan copper and Luzon copper mines to make copper, and the guards naturally can't get it.

"This private traitor, gathering crowds to sell money, and there are patrol and inspection officials in various places, but they don't care about it, how can they be solely responsible for the officials such as the guard station? There are more than 10 private casting furnaces in the white mill in Xicheng, black smoke day and night, everyone knows that its private copper coins, is the big priest a little favoritism? Zhang Juzheng put down the song and looked at Wang Chonggu, his tone was not good, what does it mean to take the guards to open the knife?

There are more than 10 private money shops in Daming Jingtang, and these money shops are not checked by Wang Chonggu, and they go to Tianjin to check the guards, which is a typical bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard.

Wang Chonggu was also unequivocal, and immediately said: "The private stoves of the White Mill in Xicheng are all the stoves of Wuqing Bo Li Wei. ”

Wu Qingbo Li Wei, Empress Dowager Li's father.

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, this matter is more difficult to do, this Li Wei really has him everywhere, he has been reprimanded by the Queen Mother last time, and the court has already issued a decree prohibiting private casting, but this Li Wei is greedy for small profits, which is really a headache.

No wonder Wang Chonggu didn't catch the typical in the capital, and the other furnace owners were probably not easy to mess with.

Most of the private transactions of the Ming Dynasty are done by the emperor's relatives, and it is not easy to handle.

"Ti Shuai." Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Juzheng couldn't deal with it, so he ordered Zhao Mengyou directly, what can't be checked?

Zhao Mengyou immediately replied: "The minister is here." ”

Zhu Yijun said with a serious face: "Go and seal the furnace in Xicheng, if there is any disobedience, detain his Wuqing Bofu to the heavenly prison and close it for a few days, calm and calm, and if he can't calm down, he will take away his title." ”

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Mengyou immediately bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Ti Shuai didn't hesitate at all, and didn't wait for the opinions of the courtiers, the super-grade matters are all under the control of the emperor, and the Beizhen Fusi is such a yamen, only listening to the emperor's orders, and the emperor says one, there is absolutely no two.

"Da Sikou, the Tianjin Guards will be brought into Beijing for interrogation, and then send the Daning Guards to garrison." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu, they are all the same private casting, Wu Qingbo Li Wei's scale is much larger than the amount of money involved in the Wei Army, if you dispose of the Wei Army, you will have to dispose of Wu Qing Bo Mansion, since you don't dispose of Wu Qing Bo Mansion, then you can only dispose of the Wei Army.

Wang Chonggu wants to toss these guards, it is obvious that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to be arrogant, this big priest is here to borrow strength.

"Obey." Wang Chonggu did not hesitate, the Ming Dynasty banned private casting, until now it is on paper, there is no implementation of the decree, then before the official executive order, it takes time, Wang Chonggu has supervised so many projects, the production capacity climbing, is a practical problem, not a mouth can be solved, it takes a long time to build an industrial chain.

"Ying Chang good news, Huining Wei general soldier Wang Rulong slashed and harassed Ying Chang Tu Man's Khan Department quickly put 475 levels under Hai, the enemy army broke and fled, repelled the enemy army offended Ying Chang's soldiers, expanded the territory for forty-two miles, established a camp fort and defended it." Zhang Juzheng took out another book and said with emotion. A few days later, another good news reached Beijing.

"Your Majesty, it's actually quite powerful." Qi Jiguang immediately added: "Under the tent of the barbarian Khan, Dong Fox is especially under the speed of control. ”

can get a very powerful evaluation from Qi Jiguang, which is already a very high evaluation.

Dong Fox killed Tang Kekuan, the general soldier of Miyun in the Ming Dynasty, and this fast man is a few points more powerful than this Dong Fox, and he is powerful, but he still didn't get any benefits in Wang Rulong's hands.

"The king is like a dragon, the king is like a dragon, and the person is like his name." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with Wang Rulong's results, and the Ming Jingying returned to the old lair, and the Tuban Khan tribes were naturally ready to move, and immediately launched an attack on Yingchang.

This Daxianbei Mountain road was blocked by the Ming Dynasty, and it was difficult to go to Huiningwei and Daningwei to loot.

Wang Rulong and Su Jianghai, are also old opponents, when Wang Rulong was stationed in Daningwei, many battles, each other are very familiar with each other, Wang Rulong got the information in advance, put out a pocket array, this speed eight should have fallen into the trap, lost the armor, not only threw down five hundred corpses, but also lost forty-two miles of land, Da Ming and the day arch, obtained some grassland land.

"One reward, with a third-class merit reward, give the king a big red silk python coat like a dragon, and a hereditary son of Yin Benwei to command the affairs; Guerrilla Tao Chengyu was promoted to the governor of the department, and the four cousins of the silk still have a son hereditary in the hundreds of households. "Zhu Yijun's reward is extraordinarily generous, especially for the soldiers stationed in Yingchang, who are rewarded with third-class merit, rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, etc., and are converted into silver, about 20 taels per person.

It was just a reward, and the Ming Emperor wanted to withdraw 200,000 silver from the internal treasury.

It is an ideal to report to the Son of Heaven to save the head of Qian, it is the soul of the army, Zhu Yijun, the emperor, never let the soldiers work in vain, as long as he is willing to do it, Zhu Yijun will give a rich return, according to Qi Jiguang, as long as you can give half a salary, you can defend the war, and give a full salary is enough for the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, and now the Ming army not only has a full salary, but also a rich reward, and the morale is naturally high.

After the court discussion, Zhu Yijun received a return, Zhao Mengyou confiscated all the private foundries, Wu Qingbo Li Wei also entered the palace to ask for guilt, Empress Dowager Li ignored Wu Qingbo at all, and didn't even see it, this Li Wei also thought of kowtowing to Xiyuan, Zhu Yijun didn't see his grandfather, but issued an edict, if next time these bad things, there is still Wu Qingbo, then don't blame the emperor for being ruthless.

What the emperor is ruthless looks like, the courtiers have seen it.

Li Wei was so frightened that he couldn't even walk steadily.

Li Wei didn't understand very much, why couldn't he make this money? How much is he right to take that? As for being raided by the emperor himself, they are all a family, as for the trouble to this point?

Zhu Yijun actually doesn't care how much Li Wei takes, just his few stoves, how much money can he pour in a year? Counting his 50,000 silver, Zhu Yijun's annual reward to Wuqing Bofu is almost this amount.

But Li Wei, as the father of the Queen Mother, as soon as he took it, the following relatives began to take it, and as soon as this relative took it, then all these powerful people in the world could take it in a grand manner, Li Wei was the one who took the lead in breaking the rules, as long as Li Wei was fine, the people below knew that he was fine.

Now that Li Wei has something to do, the trend of private casting can be slowly banned, and the decree of the Ministry of Household and Criminal Affairs prohibiting private casting can be implemented.

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

The Ming official casting is still under construction, the people of the Ming Dynasty want to use copper coins, and Zhu Yijun cannot directly order a one-size-fits-all order, and it is bound to be used by the Hao right people with silver coins and silk coins, what do the people of the Ming Dynasty use? But when it comes to the labors of the poor, Zhu Yijun is extremely cautious.

Wang Qian only heard in the afternoon that someone was going to impeach his father for having property outside the country, and everyone was scared into a cold sweat. In order to prevent the news from leaking secrets, the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has rules to avoid suspicion, so no one told Wang Qian that Hai Rui would attack today.

And the content of the court discussion, Wang Qian didn't know at all, this matter seems to stop at the court discussion, there are all kinds of theories, but the courtiers don't say it, the content of the court discussion, the specific inside story, can only wait until the future revision of history, the truth can be revealed.

Now the Daming Palace, has long been leaked into a sieve, the court discussion over there has not been completed, this head has been made into a paragraph, now the Daming Palace is water can not enter, impermeable, and the people for the news from the palace, also refuse to believe, the reason is relatively simple, because last time the palace came out of the news, saying that His Majesty was a guest, but His Majesty still appeared in Beidaying on the second day.

Feng Bao deliberately released a large amount of junk information, covering up those seemingly real news, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false.

The content of the court discussion is highly confidential, and as long as the courtiers do not say it, it is difficult for people to know it easily.

Wang Qian returned home with a feeling of apprehension.

"Get on your knees!"

Before Wang Qian entered the door, he heard a sharp scolding, his father, who had already been waiting in front of the door, holding a ring-headed knife in his arms, his eyes were very cold, obviously planning to clean up the portal today.

"Daddy!" Wang Qian knelt down when he entered the door, and immediately said loudly: "I didn't know that the General Association of the Sea was impeaching my father today, and I didn't even know that Wu Baipeng found out that his father had property outside the country. ”

"You don't know?" Wang Chonggu frowned and asked, "Do you really not know?" ”

"I don't know, now the Metropolitan Procuratorate is avoiding suspicion." Wang Qian said with great certainty that this rule was the stipulation of the dormant "Outline and Constitutional Affairs" that Hai Rui launched after he became the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and that concealment, cover-up, and leakage of relatives are all crimes plus three degrees, and this rule has not been implemented for nearly 170 years.

It has been more than 170 years since the Ming officials treated erosion and protected each other, and Wang Chonggu really blamed Wang Qian this time.

"Otherwise, such a big credit..."Wang Qian knew that it was going to be bad as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately shut up halfway through speaking.

Said it leaked!

"Rebel!"

When Wang Chonggu heard this, his originally relaxed mood immediately began to become irritable, and he unbelievably lifted the ring head knife, and he was about to fight against the sword, this day, he really couldn't live, he chased Wang Qian all over the yard, but after all, he was old, and he ran a few laps, but he still couldn't catch up.

Everyone else reported the news, Wang Qian didn't report it, Wang Chonggu was angry, they were all villains, what kind of bones did they pretend?

couldn't ventilate the news, Wang Chonggu was not so angry, he even suspected that Wang Qian wanted to deliberately anger him to death, so that he could inherit the family property!

"Dad, what happened in the Wenhua Hall today? Dad, did you pass the test smoothly? Wang Qian served his father a cup of tea and asked curiously.

Wang Chonggu said angrily: "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask." ”

Wang Qian immediately said: "I have to know about our family's affairs, and my father doesn't have an outer room to inherit the family business, right?" ”

"Hmm." Wang Chonggu thought about it and told his sons that Huo Guang had killed Emperor Xuan of Han and told his sons, but as a result, this stepfamily swaggered around, which led to the extinction of the clan, and Wang Qian still knew some things.

Wang Chonggu explained the affairs of the palace clearly, and Wang Qian couldn't help but say: "It's still a great father, such a big crisis has been resolved." ”

Wang Chonggu's fingers kept tapping on the table, but he didn't answer.

"What's wrong Dad?" Wang Qian asked suspiciously.

"This is a ghost door closed, but it is not an easy pass." Wang Chonggu put down the teacup and said with emotion: "Your Majesty has some murderous intentions, and Your Majesty must think carefully about it." ”

"Your Majesty has more than a dozen minks, which were given to Your Majesty by Li Chengliang, Marquis of Ningyuan, if you want to raise this mink, it is much more difficult than a dog, what about this dog, when the dog is still young, a few slaps will not protect the food, but all the masters who are bitten by dogs are used to it."

"If this mink wants to be raised, it must be both grace and power, and reward and punishment."

"Your Majesty, this mink, has never been bitten by a mink once."

"Your Majesty is so powerful?" Wang Qian's family is rich, and he once raised things like eagle dogs and minks, this mink is more powerful than dogs, this mink can drill holes and drive away prey, but slightly larger dogs can't drill holes, but there are few minks, this thing is not very easy to raise, and His Majesty has not been bitten once.

Zhu Yijun raised mink, in order to let the mink drill the hole to drive the rabbit, the rabbit that was driven out by the mink, and others saw the rabbit and scattered the eagle, Zhu Yijun is a bow and shoots, dare not say that the arrow is not missing, can only be said to be a hundred shots, and the hunt is very much.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Wang Qian, shook his head and said, "Because Your Majesty wears gloves." ”

"Huh? Oh. Wang Qian thought that His Majesty had some tricks, it turned out that His Majesty was wearing gloves.

In an instant, Wang Qian also knew what Wang Chonggu meant, His Majesty's personality seems to be very arrogant, but in fact, he is very cautious, once the emperor judges that Wang Chonggu's position is problematic, he will be ruthless.

Is Wang Chonggu on the orders of the emperor to appease the northern captives, or is he raising his own respect, relaxing his defense against favoritism, and stealing the public door for personal gain? Or maybe it's both.

Obviously, Wang Chonggu did go through the ghost gate, and in the end, His Majesty was forgiving.

"Your Majesty is really talking about it, and the specific things are analyzed in detail." Wang Chonggu picked up the teacup again, and I have to say that this apprentice from Zhang Juzheng is really keeping his promise, and after filling the loopholes in the tax court, His Majesty's promise has never been broken by anyone, saying that if you kill your whole family, even the egg yolk will be shaken.

"Father is such an important matter, why didn't my father dispose of those pastures outside the plug as soon as possible?" Wang Qian frowned and asked, according to Dad's shrewdness, these grasslands have not been cleaned up until now, and they really shouldn't be.

"You can't handle it, are you going to be full of beatings and killings when those northern captives outside the fortress are all about fighting, killing, and killing? They gave me these pastures just to grasp my handles, and each other had handles in their hands, so that they could do things, and if they couldn't deal with these pastures, they could only find a suitable opportunity to let Your Majesty know, and then stuff the grasslands to Your Majesty. Wang Chonggu explained in detail why he couldn't deal with it, because these grasslands are ironclad evidence that Wang Chonggu has befriended the captives, and they are also one of the backhands of Wang Chonggu in the north.

Wang Qian nodded again and again and said very approvingly: "I see." ”

Zou Yuanbiao muttered a few words to the child, seeing that it meant that he wanted to turn upside down, what did his father think? Wang Qian asked a little uncertainly.

"Don't associate with Zou Yuanbiao in the future, if you get along with idiots for a long time, you will become stupid." Wang Chonggu pursed his lips when he heard this, what kind of fool is this, he can't catch up with the heat when he eats shit.

When is it, it's still frying cold rice.

Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
