I'm really not doing business

Chapter 215

On a snowy day, Zhu Yijun specially went to the construction site of the pagoda to see the excitement. Daming's officials and pen masters rammed the soil in the snowy day. Fortunately, the construction was almost finished, otherwise the Chinese New Year would be over. Unfavorable.

Zhu Yijun noticed one thing, that is, even if it is a Kodao speaker, the life of this clean stream is still extravagant. With a bunch of servants, the emperor ordered the Kodao speaker to work. The servants can only wait outside.

More than 40 Ke Dao officials, with more than 130 servants, were waiting outside. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"A Ke Dao official must have at least one car to drive, one car and a groom to wait outside, and a servant to hold Mrs. Tang, in case my grandfather will be tired from the cold. This is not over, there is also a Concubine, I am waiting to warm the hands of our scholar-officials, if I hadn’t come to see this scene today, I would not have seen this scene, the life of a Ming scholar-bureaucrat is really extravagant.” Zhu Yijun stood at the construction site of the Dalongxing Temple Pagoda Outside, looking at the gathered servants outside, he said with deep emotion.

Zhang Juzheng was particularly happy for the emperor to have contact with his assistants, courtiers, and courtiers, and he also wanted the little emperor to move around more, not to live in Jiuchong like in the late Jiajing and Longqing years.

So as soon as the emperor said that he wanted to go to the construction site to see how officials were working in short brown clothes, he immediately came to the construction site of the pagoda from Shanruliu, and he did see the scene of work. Working, they are almost exhausted.

Zhang Juzheng let out a sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "If you go out of Beijing, the ostentation will be even bigger. A few days ago, the Yi Cheng reported that a Taoist speaker of the Seventh Grade Department went out of Beijing to work in Jiayuguan, and there were more than ten servants accompanying him. People, this post station only provides meals for one person, the official is very dissatisfied, and wants to beat the post, and there are seven post soldiers under the post, and they almost fight. The post station must be abolished."

The reason why the Yicheng of the post station dared to only provide water and food for the speaker was because the speaker was reprimanded, but if the speaker is a normal foreigner, the post station will probably raise these people together, that is, more than ten people Water and food are a lot of money for the post station.

"It turned out that Shi Yingyue was involved in the case of Huke. I remember that he impeached Hou Yuzhao and was demoted to the northwest by me. It seems that he will not change his mind." Zhu Yijun made some calculations and locked on who the speaker was.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng nodded. It was indeed Shi Yingyue. After this person was demoted, he accompanied too many servants, which caused complaints from the post station. Shi Yingyue therefore appealed to abolish the post station.

Zhang Juzheng only thought that Shi Yingyue was crazy.

The post roads and official roads of the Ming Dynasty are the extension of the emperor's imperial power. Wherever the post roads extend, the imperial power extends. They requested to dismantle some post stations in name, but they were all rejected. Now that Shi Yingyue is talking about this matter again, Zhang Juzheng knows exactly that Shi Yingyue is crazy.

There are very few Confucian scholars like Zhou Liangyin who are suddenly awakened.

"Where did he ask me to abolish the post station? He clearly asked me to be the king of subjugation." Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this remonstrance. Li Zicheng was abolished.

In the fourth year of Wanli, the situation in Daming was naturally better than that in the reign of Chongzhen, but the situation was limited. If the post station was really abolished, civil unrest would inevitably arise everywhere.

The reason for Shi Yingyue's request to abolish the post station was that the post station had neglected him.

"Not only will it not be abolished, but since the prosperity, this post road needs to be expanded and this post road needs to be renovated. The water horse post is the most important thing for the thoroughfare of Ming Dynasty Department Stores." Zhu Yijun said very solemnly.

"I remember Mr. talking about history, talking about Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the household department during the Yongle period, once Xia Yuanji's younger brother went to Beijing to visit relatives, and when he finally left, Xia Yuanji gave two stones of rice to let his younger brother go home, that's all. It's extravagant to be impeached by the officials." The little emperor and the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty looked at the servants outside the stupa construction site, and felt deeply for a while.

Xia Yuanji, as the Minister of the Household Department of the Yongle Dynasty, and as Zhu Di's hard-core confidant, if he wanted to be greedy, he would definitely give his younger brother more than two stones of rice, but Xia Yuanji just had no extra money for his younger brother.

Xia Yuanji was in Yongle for 20 years, and he strongly opposed Zhu Di's continued northern expedition. After fighting for so many years, the national money was indeed empty, and the biggest reason Xia Yuanji opposed Zhu Di's personal conquest was that Zhu Di was not young anymore. If there are many, it should be good to rest and recuperate. Even if it is a battle, the British public Zhang Fu can do it for him.

However, Qiu Fu, the number one hero of Jingnan and the Duke of Qi, underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and was killed and killed. Zhu Di felt that he would not feel at ease if he did not personally conquer.

In the end, Zhu Di was also on the way of the Fifth Northern Expedition.

Xia Yuanji himself was not a corrupt official, he couldn't even support a servant with two stones of rice. When the King of Han conspired against him, Xia Yuanji insisted on conscripting himself to prevent accidents. After all, he was also an uncle beating his nephew.

Zhang Juzheng's life is very extravagant, the basic cost of the Quanchu Guild Hall is 1000 taels a year, but Zhang Juzheng is the chief assistant of the imperial court and the emperor's teacher.

What is the identity of the Kodao speaker, what is the contribution, and it is so extravagant!
"Your Majesty, there is going to be an accident in the near future when we are preparing to build the Xishan Coal Bureau." Zhang Juzheng vaccinated the little emperor and told His Majesty that this matter will definitely not end so easily.

Zhu Yijun said calmly, "Then come."

"Big Sikou, you have no heart of obedience." Zhu Yijun said to Wang Chonggu.

"Your servant is terrified." Wang Chonggu was dumbfounded, why didn't he have a heart of obedience?This job was done well, but he didn't cut corners when he cut his stomach open, so why was he labeled as having no obedience.

Zhu Yijun looked at the people coming and going on the construction site, and said helplessly: "Da Si Kou, you clearly understood what I said, filling in the hole was to deliberately make things difficult for the officials, but Da Si Kou didn't make things difficult for them, and the construction period ended a year ago. , it should be dug and filled, filled and dug, dug and filled, and so on. These officials have suffered so much. The next time they speak, they will know the reality of their practice, and they will speak after careful investigation. "

"Correcting the ethos of high-spirited talk between the court and the middle school, and the habit of talking about one's heart with one's hands is more important than the construction period of the pagoda."

Wang Chonggu fully understood that in order to meet the construction deadline, he arranged many civilian husbands to work together. Most of these officials were lazy, and the laborers were civilian husbands. He just wanted to repair the pagoda quickly, and His Majesty even Care about wind power and public opinion.

"Just working for a few days, they can be scolded for decades. If they are asked to work for a few months, wouldn't they be scolded for several lifetimes?" Wang Chonggu expressed his concern.

After a few days of work, you can be scolded for decades. Wang Chonggu’s words are based on the fact that exiled officials went to the frontier, even if they later forgive their family members. After the family members returned to their hometowns, they began to write small essays. And it's been written for decades.

Wang Chonggu had enough infamy, so he wasn't too harsh.

"Let's dig it ten times first, and let them dig it after filling it out. Repeat this ten times. As I said, I'm not satisfied with Ke Chen's work, and he's cheating and cheating. That's it." Seeing Wang Chonggu's refusal, Zhu Yijun Bearing this infamy, I came here in person.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty falsely accuses them of rebellion. Since they say that the big bosses cut corners and materials, I can also say that they steal and play tricks. This is not too much. It means digging ten times and filling them back ten times. It's not like I won't give them food."

He is young, and Deliang is young.

"Your Majesty obeys the order." Wang Chonggu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the officials at work, full of sympathy, His Majesty rolled his eyes, it was a bad idea to torture people, and the reason was very good, cheating and cheating.

"Let's go." Zhu Yijun left the pagoda construction site with his hands behind his back.

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

"Yuanfu, you must be kind and remonstrate Your Majesty's benevolence. The officials of the Ming Dynasty all depend on Mr. Yuanfu." Wang Chonggu looked at the back of the little emperor, this is not a child, he is clearly a monster.

"It's hard for me to stand on my own. Let Da Si Kou join the cabinet, but Da Si Kou refuses to die." Zhang Juzheng's tone was full of emotion.

"This matter still has to be done by Mr., Mr. is the emperor's teacher." Wang Chonggu could hardly imagine what kind of disaster these Kechens would encounter after His Majesty came to power.

It was night, the heavy snow that had fluttered in the sky for three days finally stopped, and the sky finally cleared up. The long-lost bright moon hung high in the Heavenly Palace, sprinkled the earth with a piece of silver, and the inside and outside of the capital were covered with snow, and the days of heavy snow, People seldom go out, and the street becomes more and more deserted. The watchmen in Qiaolou are still beating gongs and clappers in the streets and alleys, shouting: the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!" With a yell, the watchman's face changed drastically when he heard the words, he looked to the northwest, and began to beat the gong non-stop, telling people that the water was gone.

Every year in the Ming Dynasty, fireworks are set off cautiously and cautiously, because the capital is all made of wooden structures. As long as there is a fire, it will be in pieces. The watchmen beat gongs and drums to remind everyone to leave the house quickly and come out together. Put out the fire and prevent it from burning to your own home.

Qiaolou watched the fire, and immediately started to move towards the fire site, which was located at Meishikou.

In the capital of Ming Dynasty, there are two coal market entrances in the inner city and the outer city, one in Xizhimen and one in Guangningmen. The largest coal market in Guangningmen was burned.

A considerable part of the coal transported into the city from the Mentougou coal kiln in the west of Beijing by the firewood carrier is stacked and sold here, hence the name, and the waterway connecting the Jinshui River and the moat has a stone bridge on it, which is called the Meishi Bridge. .

The whole street of Meishikou is engaged in the business of collecting and distributing coal frying.

When the fire started, the flames blazed into the sky, the smoke and dust billowed, there were people running to put out the fire everywhere, and the watchmen were walking on the street. When the fire started, the watchmen were already hammering the door, but it was still inevitable that some people were sleeping soundly , felt the scorching heat, and died in the fire.

Hearing the noise in the middle of the night, Zhu Yijun sat up suddenly, put on a big cloak, and walked out of his bedroom. He had already seen Wang Yaozhuo waiting at the door, with an extremely anxious expression on his face.

"Is Bao Qisi on fire?" Zhu Yijun's face was still calm. There was a big fire at the beginning of the fourth year of Wanli, and another big fire at the end of the year. His complexion was complicated. Is he so hated?But Wang Chonggu has said many times that the richer Ming is, the more wealth the meat eaters will have. This is a complementary result.

It's not that the power is directly ransacked, but the concentration of wealth in the court is exciting.

Zhu Yijun couldn't figure out why he, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Tan Lun, and Wang Guoguang were so hated by people, so that he had to kill himself to end it?Zhang Siwei set fire to the palace, and the big case had just come to an end. He hadn't caught his breath yet, and it happened again.

"No, the news from outside the palace is that the mouth of the coal market is on fire." Wang Yaozhuo hurriedly replied, if Baoqisi had been on fire, Wang Yaozhuo would have broken into the bedroom without regard to propriety, justice and shame and woke up the little emperor.

Wang Yaozhuo sleeps very lightly, which is related to the fact that she is used to living a precarious life. She will wake up when there is any movement. When the coal market is burning, Wang Yaozhuo gets up when she hears the sound. It is not Baoqisi who is on fire, she He also waited in front of the door. When His Majesty woke up, he waited. If His Majesty did not wake up, he waited.

"Oh, it's not Baoqisi that's on fire, it's Meishikou... Meishikou!" Zhu Yijun woke up immediately, Meishikou was on fire!

Zhu Yijun immediately boarded the Wenhua Building, looking at the Meishikou Street in the south, the flames had burned red for half the day, he looked at the sky with frowning eyes, and tightened his cloak.

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

"The fire burned 120 people to death, including three firemen. Because they were rescued and martyred, the minister thought it would be appropriate to build the Zhongyong Temple to pay homage." This army soldier died in order to save the head of Guizhou, so the Zhongyong Temple was built to commemorate the meritorious service.

The Zhongyong Temple is not big, and there is an inscription in an octagonal pavilion, which engraves the details of the heroic sacrifice of the soldiers to save the people.

People may forget what they have done, just like Chen Youren slandered the Southern Army led by Qi Jiguang who suppressed the Japanese, but Stone will remember.

"Sure." Zhu Yijun nodded immediately.

There is no objection to this, the fireman belongs to the army, and is served by the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingmasi. The fireman knows that water and fire are merciless than ordinary people, but he still deserves this honor for saving the lives of martyrs.

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

Wang Chonggu frowned and shook his head, "No, the fire is completely burned."

Arson is the most difficult case to investigate. Zhang Siwei dared to set fire to the palace, and he was certain that such a case would never be investigated, but the palace was full of prosecution boxes. Before the fire started, people had reported that there might be a fire , This can be regarded as confirming that it is man-made and not a natural disaster, and the investigation was carried out along this clue.

There was no advance information about the fire at Meishikou, and there was no way to investigate it. Even if it was an inspection, the clues and information were hard to distinguish between true and false.

"It has just snowed, and the weather is extremely dry. Using coal for heating is indeed prone to fires. It happens several times every winter, but this time is very unusual." Zhang Juzheng believes that it is not an accident, but man-made, the reason for making this judgment Yes, there is a fire at Meishikou.

You must know that there is not even a stove in the place where the coal is piled up, because they are afraid of fire. Many coal yards will set up isolation zones to prevent the fire from spreading to their own homes, and they are close to the Jinshui River and the moat, and there are firemen around. The speed of the fire was so fast that even the fireman took his life in it.

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

"Actually, it can be checked." Wang Chonggu raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, just look at who has put in a lot of coal recently, and that's enough."

"If it is really man-made, it must be that some people moved their own coal bombs in advance, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow, and the coal market was ordered again. Put coal, and you can follow the clues to find the culprit."

"The fire has indeed burned away all the evidence. If it is artificial, 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.

Daming’s imperial palace was originally leaking everywhere like a sieve. The content of the court discussion has not yet ended, and the outer court already knows it clearly. With the increasing number of Feng Bao’s report boxes and Zhang Siwei’s Regarding the arson case, Empress Dowager Li was in the Qing Palace like crazy. Now the news in the palace is hard to tell whether it is true or not.

Therefore, as long as there are no traitors among the courtiers, it is indeed possible to investigate this case clearly.

Zhu Yijun agreed with Wang Chonggu's suggestion very much. He thought for a while and said, "Stop the construction of the tripod for a while, and all the folks will go to the Xishan official kiln to push coal. In the future, these eggs cannot be put in one basket."

The Dingjian master was preparing for a rest before the Chinese New Year. Zhu Yijun planned to work harder for the craftsmen who repaired the palace. The median salary Wang Chonggu gave to the Dingjian craftsmen was 11 taels of silver per person per year. This was to meet the deadline. price.

The craftsmen of Ming Dynasty are actually not very demanding, and they paid the money on time. If they are asked to work more, they will be given more money, even if they are not given too much money, they will be given some meat. It is also willing to do it, and it is joyful.

If you look closely, the craftsmen are actually very similar to the frontier soldiers. If you pay half the salary, you will be safe and secure, and if you fill your stomach, you can repel the invading enemies.

I'm afraid that they won't even be given a half-pay and a full meal. There is absolutely no enthusiasm for this production.

Wang Chonggu gave enough wages to the craftsmen, he was completely afraid that the great work of building the tripod would delay His Majesty's wedding, and he would die.

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

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

After Wang Chonggu took the order, he left the Wenhua Palace directly, did not even participate in the whole process of the court meeting, and concentrated on supervising the matter.

"Governor of Lu Song, surnamed Zhengmao, sent me a memorial, and Yin Butang talked about the water transport of the Ming Dynasty in the memorandum." Zhang Juzheng took out a memo, with a somewhat strange expression on his face, Yin Zhengmao seemed to have not yet realized that he was already a The princes who ruled one side also regarded themselves as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty and actively participated in the discussion of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in the discussion of water transport this time, Yin Zhengmao, who was far away in Luzon, was still very concerned about the sea grain of the Ming Dynasty, and was a staunch supporter of sea grain.

Zhang Juzheng circulated Yin Zhengmao's memorial and explained: "Yin Butang said that if the Ming Dynasty did not transport grain by sea, then Luzon would not be able to collect taxes. Where taxes cannot be collected, then it is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After all From Lusong to Daming, there was only sea grain, so he supported sea grain transportation, and Liu Lu in the household department, Yang Yikui, who was in charge of grain storage, and Liu Guangji, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, followed suit one after another, requesting that the matter of sea grain be strengthened.”

Hai Rui looked at the memorial and said: "Your Majesty can learn from the loyalty of ministers and other overseas ministers in Luzon. How can your majesty abandon your ministers and others?"

In Yin Zhengmao's memorial, he went straight to the outline and went online. Haicao must be done, and it must be continued. After solving technical problems, administrative problems must be solved. If there is no seacao, the Ming court would not want Luzon!It's spoils!

Whoever opposes Hai Cao is a sycophant who abandons the soil!Who is the national thief!

The key is Yin Zhengmao's logic, it is not forced to go online, there is no way to refute it, Luzon has the brass, gold, tung oil, fish oil, cube sugar and sea area security that Ming needs, and the Luzon Governor's District is Daming and Hongmaofan The front line of the struggle is not fighting in Luzon, should it be fighting on the coastline of Daming?
"Isn't this the fear of beating wolves with a hemp stick?" Wan Shihe said with a smile: "The imperial court is worried about Lu Song's separatism, and Lu Song is worried about the imperial court's abandonment. Brilliant and powerful."

Lu Song’s surname is actually a copy of Yunnan’s surname, Mu Wang’s Mansion. One is in the frontier and the other is overseas. Both have successful experience.

"I agree with what Yin Butang said. Abandoning Haicao is tantamount to abandoning Luzon and the crime of abandoning the land. If you say this, you must be a national traitor." Tan Lun agreed with Yin Zhengmao's proposal. The trick of going online is not just The lowly Confucians can play, and so can the ministers.

Haicao used to be a technical problem, but after Zhang Juzheng made the grain storage box, this is no longer a problem. As long as the ship can return to normal at sea, the shipping fee of Haicao must be cheaper than that of Hecao, which will greatly slow down Xuanda's efforts. , Gyeonggi, and Liaodong's food shortages.

The lack of food in the north is not only caused by natural endowments. The invasion of the invaders in the 29th year of Jiajing and the first year of Longqing caused the fleeing of farmers in the Gyeonggi area. This impact is extremely far-reaching. How long will it take for these fleeing people to recover?
Zhang Juzheng's answer is at least ten years.

Huang Taiji, a small captive chieftain of the Qing Dynasty, was very good at this trick. He entered the bandits from the Xifeng entrance when he had nothing to do, plundered the capital, and robbed the people, repeatedly. After more than ten years, he forcibly emptied the capital and turned it into a no-man's land. The population loss in Gyeonggi further exacerbated the food shortage situation in the north.

The canal is not abandoned. On the contrary, Ming Dynasty is still maintaining the canal. If the sea canal can really become a long-term national policy, then the Grand Canal, the main artery of the empire, will explode with greater vitality because the capacity will not be delayed.

When the grain entered Beijing, the river was closed, so merchants had to find ways to hide the goods on the water boats and transport them to the north when the river was closed.Grain transportation by sea will further release the vitality of the canal.

Bringing grain to Beijing is a political task, and this thing has almost become a burden that consumes national power, but sea transportation requires technology, and sea ships transporting grain by sea are indeed easy to capsize.

"Yin Butang said that they hunted a giant whale near the big island of Mindanao, and paid 127 catties of ambergris, [-] catties of shark oil, and [-] catties of fish oil." Wang Guoguang read Yin Zhengmao's memorial.

The naval battle in Mindanao has entered a boring confrontation time. The governor of Luzon, Yin Zhengmao, can't do anything to the orangomaofan who is hiding in the fortified city. The orangomaofan can't win in the naval battle. giant whale.

One tael of ambergris is priced at 80 taels of silver, and the price of this 127-jin piece of ambergris in Nanya exceeds 16 silver. Ambergris is a top spice, and shark oil is a top lighting fish oil. Burns cleaner with a bright and steady flame.

Fishing and oil refining has become a pillar industry in Manila. This sea giant is indeed almost invincible in the sea, but human beings are at the top of the food chain.

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

Sell ​​money if you can.

"Governor Jiang Yilin of Guizhou inscribed more than 27 mu of official land confiscated by Miao people and Ye thieves to build a new county Changning, with a view to long-term governance of Jiuning." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the latest progress in the recent implementation of the Ministry of Officials to reform the land and return it to the local people.

This Miao people Ye thief is named Ye Kai. Ye Kai, the leader of the Miao nationality, took advantage of the danger to infringe on the Miao people, seized the official land, and ran amok. Jiang Yilin's method of dealing with this hereditary chieftain was to divorce Ye Kai, and finally destroyed Ye Kai's lair , and the chieftain was abolished, and Changning County was changed.

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

The court meeting was quickly passed, and Jiang Yilin was promoted to be the censor of the capital and the servant of the household department. He was still the governor of Guizhou, and he was also the servant of the household department.

This step is extremely difficult for foreign officials.

Zhu Yijun is more curious about how Jiang Yilin solved this leaf thief. The chieftain of this leaf thief has been arrogant and domineering from the Song Dynasty to the fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. Ill?

After asking the reason clearly, Zhu Yijun can only say that the minds of scholars are really dirty.

Ye Kai is lustful, at the end of May in the fourth year of Wanli, Ye Kai robbed a beauty into the mountain, with a knife on the head of the color character, this beauty is Jiang Yilin's knife, the beauty is really beautiful, within two months, the beauty took advantage of it Ye Kai was in a deep sleep, and was stabbed to death by him.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people. This beauty killed Ye Kai, and there was internal strife in the village for the position. When the fire broke out, the Ming army attacked.

This beauty was originally a family member who was robbed by Ye Kai, and Jiang Yilin deliberately searched for it. When the cottage was breached, the beauty was already dead, and Jiang Yilin buried her generously.

An inscription by the Ministry of Industry said that the Taiji factory was short of wood, and asked to go to Yizhen Guazhou and other places to buy wood. Beiya wood was expensive, and it was even cheaper to buy wood from Yangzhou and transport it to Beijing than to buy wood from surrounding areas.

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

There is no wood, let alone firewood, which is why Beiya is full of yellow sand in spring, and the trees planted are also white.

"Zhang Juzheng, a young teacher, concurrently a prince and a grand teacher, a secretary of the official department, and a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, took the nine-year performance appraisal. He was superior, and the minister asked for a special promotion for Yuanfu, the post of Taifu." Wan Shihe wrote a report For a major event, Zhang Juzheng was invited to the position of Taifu by taking advantage of his nine-year examination results, and he was specially promoted.

"Sure!" Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate, he looked at Wan Shihe more and more pleasing to his eyes, Zhang Juzheng refused to be promoted many times, it's up to you Zhang Juzheng whether he will be promoted or not!
"The minister has the "Examination of Man's Ci and Exemption from Grace and Destiny." Zhang Juzheng still wanted to decline.

He had long predicted that the little emperor would promote him years ago, and prepared four memorials for his resignation.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! !
