Idle courtiers

Chapter 50 Vows
The old man has already seen through everything, why didn't he expose it?

Zhou Nan, who was still in shock, returned to the house and drank a few sips of the cold tea before recovering.

He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a long time before he figured out the reason.

Everything has to be talked about from the Jinshi Department in the 26th year of Jiajing. Speaking of which, the Jinshi of that department produced many big names.Not to mention Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Wanli Dynasty, a great statesman, and a great reformer; Li Chunfang, the number one scholar, joined the cabinet in Jiajing 44; Xu Guangqi, a great scientist; Yang Jisheng, a famous minister of Jiajing, was falsely imprisoned and tortured to death for impeaching Yan Song;It is said that the forbidden book "Jin Ping Mei" was written by this person to satirize Yan Shifan.Xiaoge's youngest name is Qing'er, who is the prototype of Ximen Qing.Wang Shizhen was ostracized by many strict parties in the court, and he was not angry, so he wrote a book to completely blackmail Xiao Yan from the inside out...

This is a group of elites with bright eyes, which can be said to have directly constituted the civil service system of the Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli dynasties.

This group of people has outstanding talents, ambitions and ambitions, and they all have one characteristic - they are not in tune with Yan Song, and even turned against the Yan Party like Yang Jisheng.

Today, the Jinshi of the 26th year of Jiajing are all united around King Yu, the future Emperor Longqing, and are fighting to the death with the strict party.It's just that Yu Wang was timid and kept forbearing, which made this group temporarily at a disadvantage.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty paid attention to family background. When they met, they would first ask you which year you were a Jinshi, what rank you got, and who was your seat teacher?If it is the same year and the same teacher, then it is a brother and a member of the same family.In the future, in the political arena, we will support each other and share weal and woe.

The parties and sects in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty were closely linked by this kind of teacher-student, same-year, and classmate relationship, which lasted a lifetime and could not be shaken off.

In the 26th year of Jiajing’s Jinshi Division, because of Yang Jisheng’s death, he was at odds with the Yan Party. Wang Weishu, Wang Ruoxu, and Yan Song, who were ranked higher among them, were all impeached for the privacy of Yan Song’s use of women’s bed warmers. It is a great humiliation, his political attitude speaks for itself.

Originally, Wang Ruoxu offended Yan Song, and he was bound to receive a fierce counterattack from the Yan Party.It is estimated that it was because of the death insurance in the same year in the 26th year of Jiajing that he was transferred to the Ministry of Officials to be in charge.Being in a key department can be regarded as keeping the strength of the classmates in that period.

The change of land to mulberry this time was made by the strict party, and Wang Ruoxu would have nothing to do if he didn't object.

Mr. Wang came to Anton this time to inspect the Gaisang incident, probably with the idea of ​​provoking this disorderly government. He is so old that he can't see through Zhou Nan's clumsy performance. Hell, he wants to punish Shi Jieren for deceiving the court. , that is, a word.But he is not, in fact, the thinking of a politician like him, it doesn't matter if he is right or wrong, the key is to see what is the meaning of doing it?
It's okay to get rid of a Shi Jieren, but is it interesting to do so?At most, it can only show that Shi Zhixian is bold and bold, but it does not mean that the New Deal will not work, and it will not hurt the strict party.

It is estimated that old man Wang is also planning to make an article about this matter, so he will not express his opinion.

It wasn't until Zhou Nan presented the words "the wealth of the world has its own definite number, neither increasing nor decreasing" and "the price ratio of rice and silver" that Wang Ruoxu found the point of attacking the New Deal.With the outline and the eyes open, the next article will be easy to write.

This time Anton had a good harvest, as for Shi Jieren's personal fate.There were thousands of prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, and people like him didn't care about it, and they didn't even bother to mention it.

"You got it right, you got your bet right!" Thinking through this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but let out a long cry, feeling the turmoil in his heart.

Through my own foresight of history and analysis and research of historical materials, I directly determined the personal fate of a county magistrate, and it would be a lie to say that I am not satisfied.

Since he traveled to the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, he first solved the personal identity problem, and then sneaked into the county government to become a pawn, and he also experienced many difficulties and obstacles.Sometimes, to be honest, I feel a little aggrieved.A small person, sometimes he really can't do what he wants.

Today, his expertise as a time traveler and his great historical perspective have finally come in handy.

Know what will happen in the future one step ahead, if you can't achieve success just like this, it's better to hit your head to death.

Regarding the future, Zhou Nan suddenly had strong confidence, and the trace of self-pity and self-pity that had accumulated in his heart in the past disappeared.

Zhou Nan didn't dare to be careless, because he was so excited that he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he just took this novel and read it all night.When it was dawn, he boarded the official ship together with Shi Zhixian, and sent Wang Ruoxu directly out of Huai'an Mansion to the boundary of Xuzhou before returning.

At the same time, the comments of the Shizhi County on the other side of Huai'an Mansion also came down, and they got an outstanding score.In this way, Shi Jieren's county magistrate can continue to do so steadily, and if it is not good, he will be promoted.

Shi Zhixian's heart that was hanging in the air fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but praise Zhou Nan, saying: "Zhou Dianli has worked hard to meet the mission this time, and the official rewards and punishments are clear, so the credit must be rewarded."

Zhou Nan was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir."

Shizhi County: "After returning to Andong County, you go to the household to pay two taels of silver to supplement the shoes, socks and tea for a while."

"Serve the county majesty, and dare not ask for rewards." Zhou Nan's words were so righteous that he only had to engrave the word "loyalty" on his forehead.There was a feeling of unhappiness in my heart, only two taels of silver, what a joke.Those pestilence devices in the house are his mother's scrapers.When the money is in their hands, [-]% will be deducted first.Also, I got a reward, maybe they still want to treat me, this little money is not enough for them to drink flowers and wine.It just happened to be a colleague, these scenes still have to be accepted.

For this reception mission, Zhou Nan raised ten taels of silver one after another, not to mention spending all of it, and subsidized all his previous savings, and he was going to live a hard life in the future.It will be a long time until the next time I receive my salary, and I don't know if I can survive it.There is also a cheap niece in the family of Bisheng.

Before, he was still complacent about his big historical vision and foresight, but at this moment he wanted to seek for Daoliang.After all, he is just a small official, when will he be rich and prosperous?

Zhou Nan was a little frustrated.

Master Wang, the god of plague, finally left. Zhou Nan didn't sleep well for two days and two nights, and now he can finally sleep soundly.

Lying in the cabin, as soon as he closed his eyes, it was the scene of Wang Ruoxu pretending to be crazy, laughing and cursing in Andong County these days.This old man's character is really bad, but what can the magistrate do with him.Annoyed the head of the Ministry of Officials, do you still want to wear the black gauze hat, and do you want to be transferred to the bitter cold places like Liaodong, Southwest, and Northwest?
This is the power of power!
Zhou Nan couldn't help muttering: "A man should be like this!"

To be an official, to be a high-ranking official, to be a prince for generations.

Yes, I can't take the imperial examination to become an official, but the imperial examination is not the only way to be an official.Is Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei who had power in the early years of Jiajing, a Jinshi?Was Qiu Luan, the Marquis of Xianning in Jiajing's early years, a Jinshi?Today's Xiaoge old Yan Shifan doesn't even have a reputation.

But these people coughed and the whole court trembled. It can be seen that reading is not the only way out!

Nothing is unachievable.

Just as Zhou Nan cheered up, and as soon as he returned to Andong, the master of the punishment room came to the law room and whispered: "Master Zhou, you are not here for a few days, and the Mei family has come to the yamen several times to ask you and the magistrate when you will come back." ..."

Zhou Nan's heart shuddered, and then he remembered the foreign debt of 300 taels of silver.At the beginning, Sister Su proposed a ten-day term, and if he didn't pay back the money at that time, he would sell himself as a slave to pay the debt.Now, that time has long passed.The reason why the Mei family didn't come to seek their own bad luck was probably because the county was busy welcoming Mr. Wang's investigation. If they sued the yamen, wouldn't that be a disaster for the county magistrate?

Now Wang Plague God has finally left, and the Mei family has also found him.

"Why did the Mei family come to ask about this?" Zhou Nan looked unhappy.

"It is said that there is an old debt that I want to talk to the master, and there are written proofs." The master of the punishment room smiled slightly, and said: "Who knows what happened in the old age is true or not, but I can't figure it out, so I just kicked them out. , master can rest assured."

Zhou Nan is the confidant of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate agrees to everything he says.If you have something to do, it's even better than looking for the county magistrate and master Bo.Gradually, the officials in the yamen were called the Fourth Master in private.Zhou Nan's power is considered to be in the TOP5 of Anton's power structure.

Seeing that Zhou Nan was red, the master of the torture room came over to get close without knowing where he was.

Zhou Nan said: "I have nothing to worry about, that is, some past festivals, the grievances and grievances between me and the Mei family are constantly being dealt with, and there is no FUCK to say. Thank you for talking about this matter, and Zhou Nan will write down this favor."

"It's right to be a colleague." The master of the punishment room reminded: "Master Zhou, there is a master in the county government, and the Mei family will not be able to find your bad luck. I'm afraid they will sue the house. You also know that Mei Kang is here." Seek life on the water, and get to know some people in Fucheng."

Zhou Nan's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, the Mei family is simply a disaster, if you don't solve it, you don't know when they will jump out and bite you.

The Gongmen naturally has the means of the Gongmen, so Zhou Nan consulted with Lin Ada and Lin Aer, two government servants.

Lin A'er suggested: "Master Zhou, I'm so scared, if you don't have some money, find someone from the dealer to tie up Mei Kang, and feed the fish in the Huaihe River without anyone noticing. As long as the money is enough, there are plenty of good people in the world." And those who take risks. Otherwise, the villain will help you pay attention to see if there is a suitable candidate."

Zhou Nan couldn't help but want to spit on his face, just kidding, I'm a good master in the yamen, holding the state violence machine in my hand, using black and white methods, it's just a joke.Besides, I have trouble eating now, how can I spend a lot of money to hire an assassin?
Lin Ada shook his head: "That's not right, anyone other than Mr. Mei, they used to start their business by murdering people on the river, and they can mobilize more than a dozen murderers who can fight and kill at any time. And this person is quite strong, and he knows how to use guns and sticks." , even if Master finds someone, he can't kill him."

Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he said: "Meikang was not a kind person in his early years, maybe he even had a life on his hands. Come down and pay attention to see if you can find out the clues from the old cases, it is best to sue the headless man Let's see if someone from Mei Mei did it. If it is found out, the matter will be easy... Forget it, I'll go and check it myself, and I will call you when necessary."
