Idle courtiers

Chapter 171 Deliberation (asking for a monthly ticket)

"A place of right and wrong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time."

This sentence flashed through Zhou Nan's mind immediately, and he was off duty immediately, so he lifted the hem of his clothes, turned around and trotted away from the pedestrian department.Then I got into a small alley next to me, went to a teahouse and drank a cup of tea, and then I came back to my senses after listening to a section of "Biography of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" written by the Minister of Zhengde Years, Qiu Luan.

Zhou Nan thought it was such a coincidence after probably going through the story from the beginning to the end in his mind, so coincidental that it was like a legendary story in street stall literature.

In fact, speaking of it, his mission in Beijing this time is very simple.First, go to the Pedestrian Department to report to the Pedestrian Department, and go through the suspension and start-up business... No, the lock hall is waiting for the examination procedure.Then live in the capital, study for a year, take the Beizhili Township Examination in the fall of next year and the General Examination in the spring of the following year, and get the rank of Jinshi.

Only with the merit of a Jinshi can he be employed in the Department of Pedestrians.

The admission rate of the ancient imperial examinations was really too low. Zhou Nan is now a fan of Chinese studies, and he will get started.

Even if one's luck explodes, one can be selected as a candidate, one can be selected as a Jinshi, who knows what will happen in more than a year, maybe he will be sent to another yamen as an official?
In his view, Xingrensi is just a small post in his life, and he has no sense of belonging.

But what happened yesterday to him was like the protagonist in a novel meeting a boss who favored him.Not only did he get into the job smoothly, but he was also entrusted with the important task of finding a relative who had fallen into disrepair, which simply forced his political achievements and prestige into his hands.

Facts have proved that Zhou Nan is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have the halo of the protagonist. If it is really good, how could it fall on a newcomer like him.

In any era, in any unit, newcomers are used to take the blame.

Looking back, in fact, Qin Liang and the passers-by in Sili should have known Li Wei's identity a long time ago, and they also knew that this was a hot potato.

When Zhou Nan reported to the Pedestrian Department yesterday, Qin Sizheng and the others entered the hall to discuss this matter.

Otherwise, the passers-by shouted at Zhou Nan at first, but when Qin Liang said, "Actually, in the eyes of this old man, he is just a man with high vision and low power. The next time there was an order from the court, why did everyone shirk and pick them up? The old man Zhou Xingren knows that he has been an official in the local area for many years, and he is familiar with common affairs, but he is not comparable to you. Go down!" Everyone looked ashamed back down.Obviously knowing that this job Qin Liang was going to fall on Zhou Nan, everyone was relieved.

When they arrived at Li Wei's manor outside the city, things turned around 360 degrees. Zhao experienced being beaten, and then he couldn't see the sunrise this morning.

The pedestrians knew that Li Guozhang was not easy to mess with, so it was understandable that they refused to suffer from the splint.Qin Sizheng knew Li Wei's identity but didn't say it clearly. The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

So why did he do it?

Zhou Nan couldn't figure it out for a while, but subconsciously picked up the fried pumpkin seeds on the table and peeled them one by one.

At this time, the storyteller said that he had just finished talking about the battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake in "The Legend of Heroes".Probably because I felt that the story was too tense, and I wanted to let the audience relax, so I talked about "Hongmen Banquet".

"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong, I understand, I understand!" Zhou Nan suddenly changed his face, and threw the melon seeds in his hand on the table.Can't help but sigh: "It's unlucky, I accidentally fell into the muddy water of political disputes in the court."

Speaking of which, when he first traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he was still a little excited. Everything in front of him was so new and worth exploring.Especially as a lover of martial arts literature, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether there were really martial arts masters in this world who were so high and mighty that they could smash stones with one punch.

The facts made him completely disappointed. There are such things as martial arts, but they are not as airy as in the novel.As far as Xia Yi, the number one expert he knows, is stronger and more experienced in fighting people.Using all the strength of the whole body to punch down, it only caused internal injuries.He himself admitted that if he didn't use equipment, he could still deal with five or six men with just two fists.No matter how many, they can only escape.

The thing about killing people with one punch is just a legend.

According to Zhou Nan's observation yesterday, Li Wei is just fat in an abandoned house in Jiajing, and he doesn't look like he has practiced Qishangquan.

According to what the yamen servant of Shuntian Mansion said before, the cause of Zhao's death was that Li Guozhang punched his nose and made his brain angry, that is, concussion or cerebral hemorrhage.If this is the case, Mr. Zhao should have vomiting symptoms.

Still the same sentence, from the beginning to the end of this matter, someone planned to punish Li Wei.

But here comes the question again, Li Wei, a future relative who has no position, no right and no title, what good is it to punish him?

Don't forget, the reason why Li Wei is rich and domineering today is because his daughter is Concubine Li of the palace.The ultimate goal of rectifying Li Wei is to rectify King Yu, and then get rid of the group of officials who are attached to King Yu.

According to the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty that Zhou Nan had come into contact with before, Emperor Jiajing reigned for 45 years.It is now the 40th year of Jiajing, that is to say, in five years, the emperor will die.It is conceivable that the emperor's physical condition is not very good.The emperor has never established a prince, and the question of who will inherit the throne in the future has been placed on the table and cannot be avoided.

As the sole heir, King Yu has no problem inheriting the throne.But a new generation replaces the old, and the power attached to the palace will definitely expand in the future, and it will definitely challenge the old structure of the court. If he can weaken his team at Long Qianshi, it will be a good thing for the grandma of the court.

After much deliberation, Qin Liang was the most suspicious.

The thing should be like this, the old man Qin should have been instructed by a certain big man to take advantage of the Qingzhang Jingji Royal Manor to mess with Li Wei, and the pedestrians in the department know that this is a muddy water, so naturally they don't want to be this victim.

It just so happened that Zhou Nan, a stunned young man, came to report. He was a magistrate, he didn't know anything about the court, and he didn't have any background, so there would be no trouble if he died.

Best of all, he's still nominally a pedestrian.Although his background is really disgusting, he is still a reserve speech officer. If there is a breakup, it will inevitably arouse the hatred of the officials of the science and road.

The administrative system of the Ming Dynasty consisted of three major parts: the cabinet, the six ministries, and the Kedao.

If Zhou Nan had an accident because of Qingzhanghuang's production, it would be a hornet's nest in Kedao, and the saliva of the Guangyan officials would also drown the Wangfu and Li Wei.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nan's cold sweat broke out again: Fortunately, I was an elf yesterday and found out that this is wrong, otherwise the one lying in the coffin would be someone from Zhou.This trip to the capital was really frightening every step of the way, almost becoming a ghost from a foreign land, or the kind that died worthless.

Reason told him that Pedestrians could not go back now.If you go back now, maybe the people from the Sanfa Division are already waiting there.Once it falls into the hands of others, life and death have to be decided by others.

Zhou Nan subconsciously looked at the other tea guests in the teahouse, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became. He felt that someone would suddenly jump up and stab him with a knife in the next moment—the dead Zhao Jing was just a miscellaneous, dead He just died, and it's nothing special. It is estimated that the Sanfa Division will check it at will and delay the matter.But if a pedestrian is killed, it is a direct challenge to Ke Dao, and it is a political disturbance.

As a small person, in the torrent of the times, there is really no way to control one's own destiny.

However, chess pieces also have the dignity of chess pieces, so you can't let them be rounded and flattened.

So, how to break the situation, or how to get through this crisis safely?
Zhou Nan immediately thought of going to Tong County to find Zhan Tong, and then he introduced him to see King Yu to report the case and seek asylum.

However, he dismissed the idea in an instant.
