"Naval Officer Academy? What is this thing? Li Mingcheng couldn't help but subconsciously scream.

Mi Wanfang immediately searched out everything he had heard about the Naval Officer Academy.

Half an hour later, the items that could be taken away in Tsinghua Park were finally packed, and Li Mingcheng immediately said goodbye to Mi Wanfang, walked out of Tsinghua Park and got into the carriage.

Twenty or thirty wagons formed a large convoy towards the capital, and when it was nearly dusk, the convoy finally stopped in front of a manor near Jishuitan in the city.

This is the Mansion of Marquis Wuqing of Jingshi, but it will soon be changed to Wuqing Bo's Mansion. After Li Mingcheng walked into the gate, he suddenly stopped in the courtyard, and he said to the old servant behind him, "Call Guorui to me." ”

Li Guorui followed the old servant behind Li Mingcheng with some trembling, and Li Mingcheng's fierce appearance on the platform frightened him. It was then that he realized that without his father's favor, he was nothing.

Looking at his young son, who was cowering and didn't dare to get close to him, Li Mingcheng's heart finally softened, and he said a little gently: "After the New Year, Your Majesty will prepare for the establishment of the Naval Officer Academy, and then you can take the exam." But if you can't pass the test, let me go back to my hometown in Tongxian County to stay..."

When Wu Qinghou's motorcade left Tsinghua Garden, a group of guests were welcoming to the adjacent rice garden.

Sun Guorong, who was recently promoted to cabinet secretary Lang, is also a disciple of Mi Wanzhong. The newly appointed deputy governors of Shuntian Mansion, Yin Liu Rongsi, Wang Siren, and Yushi Liu Chongqing, these are Mi Wanzhong's friends.

Mi Wanzhong stood in front of the Spoon Sea Hall and descended down the steps to greet him, and behind him stood a young man and a young man.

Today's guest is Mi Wanzhong's confidant, Wang Siren, who has just entered Beijing, the deputy guest is his disciple Sun Guoyi, and Liu Rongsi and Liu Chongqing, two friends in Beijing, are accompanying guests.

"I heard that there is a beautiful woman in a good country, my brother thinks about it, sleeps about it, and even doesn't think about tea and dinner. When I saw my brother today, Fang's rumors were true. Wang Siren looked at Mi Wanzhong for a long time before he said with emotion.

Mi Wanzhong was at odds with Wei Zhongxian, but he was addicted to stones, and once fell for a boulder 8 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 4 meters high in Dafang Mountain. This stone, with its head held high, its feet sloppy, its color and green, and the sound of knocking is pleasant.

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he wanted to pull it back to the spoon garden. With the help of the local government, he first hired hundreds of people, plus 44 mules and horses, and it took seven days to pull the boulder down the mountain, and another five days to transport it from the bottom of Dafang Mountain to Liangxiang.

This abuse of civil service was quickly reported by Wei Zhongxian. Emperor Tianqi was originally dissatisfied with these duplicitous Donglin Party members, and this Mi Wanzhong's behavior with such fanfare naturally made him even more disgusted.

So the Apocalypse immediately issued an edict to remove Mi Wanzhong from his official position, and seeing that the emperor was angry because of this, these local officials no longer dared to assist Mi Wanzhong in carrying the stone, so the stone was also thrown on the side of the road in Liangxiang.

Mi Wanzhong didn't feel sorry for losing his office, but he never forgot about the stone, so he had a knot, and his body gradually lost weight.

As soon as this Wang Si came, he made fun of him with this matter. Mi Wanzhong, who knew the character of this friend, could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

He knew that his friend had no malicious intentions, and when he spent all his family property because of this stone, Wang Siren also gave him 5,000 taels of silver to tide over the difficulties.

"Yan'an still loves the waves so much, let's stop blowing the wind outside, let's go into the hall and talk." Mi Wanzhong said with a smile.

After entering the hall, Mi Wanzhong called the two people behind him to salute everyone. The youngest is his eldest son, Mi Shoudu, who is 17 years old. The older one is Wang Chongjian, who is half a disciple and half friend, and is also the teacher of the eldest son.

But in the past, he was praised by Zhang Nai and Zuo Guangdou, two seniors: This public auxiliary device is also. The king of Jingzai? Sun Guoyan said with some surprise.

Wang Chongjian humbly bowed his hand to Sun Guoyi and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." It's just a joke of the seniors, and it can't be true. Your Excellency's "Before the Construction of the Tower of the Lingyan Mountain of the Marquis of Yi" became famous for a while, and he bowed his head and bowed down. ”

Sun Guoyan looked at Wang Chongjian, who was almost half his age, but because of Zhang Nai's and Zuo Guangdou's jokes, he became the hope of the sea and the rookie valued by Qingliu, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But then it occurred to him that this "public auxiliary device" seemed to be only a sentient being until now. In comparison, he is already out of office, and he feels much more comfortable when he thinks about it.

After Sun Guoyan nodded to Wang Chongjian in return, he replied: "It's just a juvenile play, and I praise it well." ”

After the group finished saluting, they sat down one after another. Mi Wanzhong sits on the right seat of the head, and Wang Siren is on the left seat of the head.

Liu Chongqing and Liu Rongsi sat in turn, while Sun Guoyi and Wang Chongjian sat in turn, and Mi Shoudu stood on his father's left side.

After a few people talked about the anecdotes of the South China Sea and the North for a few days, Mi Wanzhong asked his disciple Sun Guoyi: "You have been transferred from the post of academic instructor of Yanping Mansion in Fujian to the capital this time, what kind of official position is this cabinet secretary Lang, why has the old man never heard of it?" ”

Sun Guoyi shook his head and said: "The disciple went to the ministry to report his post, and the officials of the ministry did not know, they only said that they were the scholars in the original cabinet. ”

Liu Chongqing interjected: "What he said is right, he is the former cabinet scholar.

However, His Majesty said that this cabinet should not be confused with the Zhongshushe people he used, so he divided the Zhongshushe people into two, and most of them were handed over to the cabinet and renamed the cabinet secretary section, which was responsible for sorting out the text and running errands for the cabinet elders.

The few people left by His Majesty still maintain the name of Zhongshu Sheren, and communicate with the cabinet and various ministries on behalf of His Majesty. ”

Wang Siren was slightly surprised and said: "In this way, wouldn't it be that the Zhongshu Sheren replaced the previous work of the cabinet?" ”

Liu Chongqing nodded and said: "That's pretty much what it means, but the Zhongshu Sheren don't have the power of the cabinet vote, and they are completely under the orders of His Majesty, which is very different from the cabinet." ”

Wang Siren smiled and said, "This majesty is a young man, and he likes to change the name of Chen Tang and sell it as a new soup. Then what is the origin of my deputy governor? ”

Liu Rongsi replied with a smile: "Your Majesty takes the city walls around the capital as the boundary, and divides the Shuntian Mansion into two parts, you and I are each in charge of one piece, and Lord Yin is in charge of the overall situation. ”

Wang Siren couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'd rather choose to be outside the city, or come to the spoon garden from time to time to disturb." ”

Mi Wanzhong said with a smile: "Then my family is not very peaceful, it seems that I have to avoid Manyuan." ”

Wang Siren twisted his beard and said, "Then haven't I become a villain of the magpie's nest dove?" ”

Several people immediately laughed, and after the laughter subsided. Wang Si Rencai asked thoughtfully: "Today, I am doing things, seeking innovation and change in everything, my personality seems to be too out-of-the-box, it won't be the second martial sect, right?" ”

Liu Rongsi shook his head and said: "Today's pursuit of innovation and change is also to reform the maladministration. I've heard two things,

First, there are 24 yamen in the palace, tens of thousands of palace people and craftsmen, and one-third of them have been abolished. I heard that there is a palace in the palace that cannot be sprinkled and cleaned because of the lack of palace people. Therefore, some eunuchs asked His Majesty to re-recruit palace personnel to fill the shortfall.

However, His Majesty not only did not allow it, but ordered the closure of nine useless palaces to suit the current number of palace personnel.

Second, His Majesty ordered that coarse rice be eaten every other day in the palace to exempt the levy of white grain in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen that although His Majesty is young and not yet educated, he is kind-hearted and has the appearance of a holy monarch. ”

Several people in the hall fell silent for a moment, it stands to reason that an emperor who sympathizes with the people's sufferings and is willing to reduce the burden of the people by reducing his own enjoyment is in line with the ideal requirements of Shilin Qingliu for the Holy Monarch.

But Chongzhen, who was willing to do this, was unexpectedly bad in the reputation of the scholars. The gentry in Qingliu and Jiangnan in the capital, when Chongzhen pulled Wei Zhongxian off the horse, also touted Chongzhen for a while, thinking that the Holy Son of Heaven was out and the treacherous and evil were restrained, which was a scene of political clarity.

However, soon these Qingliu gentry shut up, because after Chongzhen drove Wei Zhongxian away, he only disposed of a few Wei Zhongxian's cronies, and most of the eunuchs in their eyes were not punished.

These eunuch henchmen still control the government, and they are naturally unable to come out to share worries for the country, can an emperor who refuses to get close to a gentleman be called a holy monarch?

And Chongzhen showed his concern for the military, and constantly improved the treatment and status of the sergeants, and often went to watch the craftsmen make utensils, which made those dissatisfied Qingliu begin to privately rumor, and now it is just a subordinate of Wuzong and Xizong.

Mi Wanzhong sighed and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to hold a sutra feast, there will not be so many scholars. ”

Sun Guoyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty is still young, if you can study diligently, you may not be able to be a saint." The upright ministers in the court cannot correct His Majesty's mistakes, all because the evil in the court has not been cleared out.

In the coming day, I must show your majesty, if the court is full of some city fox and rats, how can the country be better? Only by cleaning up these treacherous evils out of the court and letting the righteous men and gentlemen control the government can they assist His Majesty to become a saint of heaven. ”

Wang Siren, Liu Rongsi, and Liu Chongqing looked at each other, while Mi Wanzhong appreciated the idea of this disciple, who was friendly with Ye Xianggao and had always admired the Donglin Party, so he was not satisfied with the current situation in the court.

Mi Wanzhong opened his mouth and asked: "That's right, but Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, has stepped down, and His Majesty has strictly ordered that no party disputes be held, how do you plan to act?" ”

Sun Guoyi said confidently: "Although Wei Zhongxian has left his post, the "Three Dynasties Classics" still exists. As long as this book is here, the eunuchs still have room for maneuver, and the gentlemen will not be able to speak confidently in the court.

"The Essentials of the Three Dynasties" is the shield for the eunuch villains in the DPRK and China, and if this book is not destroyed, we will not be able to completely drive these eunuch remnants out of the court.

Therefore, the disciple thought that the first step should be to refute the "Three Dynasties Classics" first, and the disciples wanted to write an article "Please refute the Three Dynasties Classics"..."
