The Son of Heaven looked at the book of the people on the desk, which was the officials and people of Henan Province who were grateful to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What the ministers said all day long was that the people were precious, the society was secondary, and the monarch was light, and for the first time it had a shape and meaning in the heart of the young Son of Heaven.

"The reason why my holy dynasty is called the Ming Dynasty is not because of the territory of thousands of miles and the foundation of two hundred years, but because of the righteousness of the people. Although every ordinary person is as small as a drop in the ocean, they together are the society of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty has the four seas in mind, thinks of the common people in the world, and is really a wise monarch of the ancients." Yang Yikui said loudly.

The Son of Heaven stood up and said to Yang Yikui, the governor of Henan: "I don't listen to your flattery, I only listen to what the people say. ”

"As the governor of a province and the parents of 5.2 million people in this Henan province, you must keep Taizu's words in your heart. With this 1,200,000 taels of silver, I want you to work hard and spend every tael on the people, so as to live up to the expectations of the people and the letter of the people they presented to me. ”

Yang Yikui wept and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if the minister dares to be greedy for a penny, please take your Majesty a heavy responsibility." ”

After Yang Yikui stepped back, the Son of Heaven looked at the heavy Wanmin watch on the desk again, and then said: "I want to be Yao Shun, not just verbally, since I am in charge of the world, I should turn my family into a country, regard my family as a countryman, regard the people in the world as a family, and the family and country in the world as one." ”

Gao Huai, Zhang Cheng was moved to tears when he heard this.

The Son of Heaven said: "Lin Yanchao's offense is excessive, but it is meritorious to Sheji. If you have a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, Zhang Cheng immediately drafted a decree for me. ”

Gao Huai and Zhang Cheng were overjoyed when they heard this.

Gao Huai said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister will go to draft the decree." ”

And among the officers and soldiers.

After learning that Lin Yanchao returned home from prison, he was dismissed from his post and his status was cut off, and he was ordered to leave Beijing within three days.

When the news came out, all the readers were upset about Lin Yanchao.

The people have a scale in their hearts.

forced King Lu to cut the wedding fee to help millions of people in the Yellow River, and washed away Zhang Juzheng's grievances and rehabilitated his unjust case.

It is not an exaggeration to make such a great achievement, but Lin Yanchao was dismissed from his post and ordered to return to his hometown, and even his own students were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Is this how the court repays its loyal servants?

After hearing the news, many scholars flocked to Lin Yanchao's original residence on the border of Guozijian to complain about Lin Yanchao.

When he came to the door, he was told that Lin Yanchao no longer lived here.

Everyone wanted to visit, but there was nowhere to vent, and at the moment they were even more unhappy in their hearts, and they cried out for Lin Yanchao. Even though they knew that Lin Yanchao was not here, the scholars still blocked the door and talked loudly about current affairs.

This is the scene that Ye Xianggao and Gong Zinan saw when they came to Guozijian Lin Mansion.

They listened to a few words in the hundreds of scholars gathered, and although they didn't find out where Lin Yanchao appeared, they could know the scholars' resentment about Lin Yanchao's deposition.

The five of them met again and expressed their opinions.

Gong Zinan said indignantly: "The scholars all say that the court uses people like a night pot, and when you use it, you hold it in your hand and don't need to stuff it under the bed. When the Son of Heaven used, he asked Zong Haihai to defeat the Queen Mother, Marquis Wu Qing, and now that he is no longer needed, he will be dismissed and returned to his hometown. ”

Lin Cai said: "Although Zong Hai was dismissed and cut down, Shi Yi is on his side, and it can be regarded as a clear day, and he can't bear to see Zong Hai humiliated." ”

Ye Xianggao said: "It's just the complaints of powerless and powerless readers, although they have indignation, but there is no cohesion, what can they do if they break their mouths?" For now, we have to find Zong Hai first and listen to what he has to say. ”

Weng Zhengchun and Chen Yinglong didn't have any opinions at the moment, and when they saw Ye Xianggao say this, they suddenly had the backbone and said: "According to Jinqing's words, what should I do next?" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Although Zong Hai moved away from here, someone must know his residence, we can go to Lu Chengzhi and ask, he can probably know." ”

So everyone went to the Fuzhou Hall to inquire about Lu Yicheng's residence.

Lu Yicheng turned out to be a pedestrian and a pedestrian, but he was not in the eighth grade. But because he was a fellow villager in the same year as Lin Yanchao, Lin Yanchao has always supported him, and he resolutely stood on Lin Yanchao's side this time.

At present, after completing the three-year examination, he was promoted to the evaluation of the seven-grade Dali Temple.

is not only Lu Yicheng, but also Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing, both of them have been changed from the head of the household department to the head of the ministry.

The benefits of being the head of the Ministry of Officials are comparable to being promoted three levels in a row for Gu Zhao and the others.

But everyone was promoted, but Dulin Yanchao was dismissed from his post and cut his status.

When Ye Xianggao found Lu Yicheng. Lu Yicheng is far from being a famous person who fainted with joy when he first became a jinshi.

Lin Yanchao was not in the capital, and Chen Rui, the former secretary of the Criminal Department, was reprimanded for Zhang Juzheng's party, resulting in very few Fuzhou officials left in the capital.

Now Lu Yicheng has a faint bit of a Fuzhou Beijing official.

After the five people were seated, Lu Yicheng swaggered to meet the guests in seven-grade official uniforms, and saw that the five people were all wearing cloth clothes, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "Rude, rude." ”

In the past, one of them was already an official in the imperial examination and the first to enter the court, and the rest of them had to continue to be admitted to the Jinshi after they failed the list.

Then Lu Yicheng wearing an official uniform to meet his old friend is undoubtedly very rude.

The five of them held back their anger, and Weng Zhengchun said: "Lord Lu, we came to the house this time to ask where Zong Hai lives now, and ask Lord Lu to give me advice." ”

Lu Yicheng said: "I see, Zong Hai is now temporarily living in Dongzhimen, and you have also heard about Zong Hai's dismissal, so it's okay, after you have lunch here, I will order someone to drive you over." ”

Chen Cai got up and said, "We are worried about Zong Hai, and we are so anxious, so we won't chatter." ”

Lu Yicheng said with a smile: "That's not in a hurry, the cook at the luncheon came from his hometown and cooked authentic hometown dishes." You will live in my house today, and there will be a literary meeting in Ming'er, and there will be several Hanlin participants, and they may be the examiners of this meeting, and I will introduce you to you. ”

Hearing that Lu Yicheng was going to introduce them to Hanlin, Ye Xianggao smiled and refused directly: "Thank you Lord Lu, let's talk about meeting Zong Hai." ”

After speaking, Ye Xianggao led everyone away.

Leaving Lu Yicheng's mansion, everyone was holding their breath.

Lin Cai couldn't help but say: "If Lu Yicheng hadn't taken advantage of Zonghai's momentum, otherwise he would not be able to do it today, look at his arrogant appearance." ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Lu Yicheng didn't live up to Zong Hai, and besides, Jinshi was admitted by himself, so I would like to be a brother, but it's not very good to say that people are behind this." ”

Lin Cai said: "I just can't swallow this breath." With your talent, Jinqing is far better than Lu Yicheng ten times, and this subject is out of the way and fights for us. ”

Hearing this, Ye nodded slowly to Gao.

Soon, several people came to Lin Yanchao's house.

Now in front of the Lin Mansion in Dongzhimen, it is a cold court.
