"Brother Shen's words are wrong, this natural disaster is frequent, and it is a warning from heaven. Today, there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials who exploit the people, and there are even more traitors in the court to deceive the king. After the Holy Lord ascends the throne, he should eliminate all the evil, clarify the demonic atmosphere in the court, and make a clear future..."

Shen Tingyang looked at Sun Boyang, a young prisoner who was agitated and began to speak at length, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. These young scholars, who judge others by upright men and gentlemen at every turn, have always been gentlemen who obey me and villains who oppose me.

This Sun Boyang probably saw that Qian Jiazheng had a good relationship with him, so he didn't immediately scold, and directly beat him into a villain who attached to the eunuch party. He also took great pains to persuade him, hoping that he would find his way back.

For Shen Tingyang, whose family runs a maritime smuggling business, although he is only in his early 30s, his life experience is much better than that of these nerds who have only read sage books since childhood. He once went north to Japan and south to Manila, and saw overseas customs and customs. He also fought with pirates in the stormy seas, and finally returned home safely.

Since the road to progress has been controlled by the magnates, the prisoners have either been living in the prison, or they are attached to the powerful and Qingliu, trying to find the ladder to the sky.

Shen Tingyang's entry into the Guozijian is the meaning of the family, although the Guozijian has been blocked on the road to advancement, but it does not mean that the prisoners of the Guozijian cannot be officials. Those who cannot be officials refer to those prisoners who have no way out, and if the sons of the powerful in the DPRK and the central government are imprisoned according to the rules, they can soon be released outside the official and half-official positions. And if you have money and a way, then after staying in the country for a while, you can also spend money to buy an official position and go back.

Shen Tingyang's family is good friends with the Donglin Party, and they have a good reputation in Jiangnan Shilin, but there are too many scholars in Jiangnan, and the Shen family does not have a few reading seeds in this generation, and it is difficult to see people who are middle-lifted.

Although the Shen family is rich, if they don't have an official to protect their family, it will be difficult to continue this smuggling business. Father Shen started a roundabout strategy, first entered the Beijing Guozijian, and then opened up the joint to buy a position as a scholar in the middle school, and then he could be released as a magistrate after a few years.

This Qian Jiazheng is a native of Haiyan, Zhejiang, and Shen Tingyang can also be regarded as half of the same township, plus they are both supporters of the Donglin Party, so the two quickly became friends. However, Shen Tingyang doesn't like to study all day long, and prefers to visit the customs and customs in the capital, so he is not liked by scholars who only read sage books.

This Sun Boyang is one of them, this Sun Boyang is a good villager near the capital, and he is imprisoned as Yougong. A seed of reading like him is just a façade used by Guozijian to decorate the existence, and Sun Boyang will not be an official with the qualification of a prisoner, he will still have to take the imperial examination after studying here for a few years.

For example, there are only about 2 or 30 people in Guozi Prison, and these people are all taken care of by Guozi Supervisor Priest Wine, and no one dares to mess with them in the prison.

Although Sun Boyang despised these inmates who did not want to participate in the imperial examination and wanted to be officials. But for the reserve talents of the Donglin Party like Qian Jiazheng, they still have to nod and agree. Without him, the imperial examination is just a checkpoint, and after entering the officialdom, you still have to stand in line.

Although the Donglin Party members were suppressed by Wei Zhongxian's alliance with the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Qi Party, the Donglin Party members who were slightly famous in the DPRK and China were almost gone. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse went too fast, and the Donglin Party was not completely destroyed.

There is a lack of follow-up people in the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Qi Party, and the reputation of the Eunuch Party has rotted the streets. Although the Donglin Party was greatly damaged under the suppression of Wei Zhongxian, the Donglin Party was based on the Jiangnan gentry, and seven or eight out of ten of the Ming Dynasty's finances and taxes and Jinshi came from Jiangnan.

Wei Zhongxian just cut off the branches and leaves on the big tree of the Donglin Party, and he didn't touch the foundation of the Donglin Party at all. Zuo Guangdou, Li Sancai, Gao Panlong and other older generations of Donglin Party members are withered, but Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanyu, Wang Shoulu and other Donglin Party members still occupy the position of the most important science and Taoist officials in the court, and at this time, rising stars such as Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu emerged in Jiangnan.

What is even more alarming is that the public opinion of Da Ming Shilin is firmly in the hands of the Donglin Party. As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see it, it is only a matter of time before the Donglin Party occupies the court again.

Sun Boyang naturally wants to be an official in the imperial examination, but if he wants to be a "good" official, he must have the support of the Donglin Party behind him. Ten years of hard study and passed the Jinshi examination, but in the end he was thrown into a remote place where there was a shortage of soldiers, and a bad one did not sit in the main hall for a few days, and his head was cut off by the homeless, isn't it wrong.

After Qian Jiazheng wrote a letter to impeach Wei Zhongxian, he became a celebrity in the Guozi Prison, and Sun Boyang also seemed to see the guiding light, and immediately deliberately dated Qian Jiazheng.

Shen Tingyang would have the same knowledge as this scholar who was full of sour smell, and he immediately changed the topic and said: "This Lu Wanling was a man with his tail between his legs a few days ago, and I also said that he escaped by luck and has washed his hair and changed his face to be a new person." Why is there a return to the old ways today, is it possible that there are variables in the DPRK and China? ”

Shen Tingyang opened his mouth, and Sun Boyang immediately stopped talking. He knew that the object of Shen Tingyang's questioning was not him, but Qian Jiazheng, who was more well-informed about the court. Although Shen Tingyang's family is a supporter of the Donglin Party, after all, there is no one in the DPRK, and some news is still lagging behind.

And after Qian Jiazheng charged for Donglin, he got into a relationship with the famous Qian family in Huzhou, Huzhou Qian family three jinshi, Qian Zhen (ancestor), Qian Shiwan (son), Qian Yuanyu (grandson) three jinshi, is a local famous family.

Qian Yuanyu is now the head of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the power of electing officials. Sun Boyang only learned about it after getting close to Qian Jiazheng, and since then he has been even more afraid of Qian Sheng. Although Qian Jiazheng did not publicize his relationship with Qian Yuanyu to the outside world, he would tell some secrets in the court from time to time to win over the hearts of the people around him. After all, if you want to master Shilin Qingyi, you need a scholar like Sun Boyang.

Sure enough, after Qian Jiazheng glanced at Sun Boyang, who pricked up his ears on the side, he said lightly: "Your Majesty issued an edict yesterday, saying that the expansion of Dongchang has been too fast in recent years, and the recruited fans are uneven, and some people have even pretended to be Dongchang fans to blackmail households, which has led to boiling public resentment and ruined the reputation of the factory guards. Therefore, His Majesty ordered to sort out the black sheep among the factory guards, and renamed the East Factory as the Daming Times. ”

"Isn't it a good thing that this East Factory is gone?" The ignorant Sun Boyang couldn't help but interject. Qian Jiazheng glanced at him with some disdain, Sun Boyang didn't know where he said something wrong, so he couldn't help but smile and shut his mouth.

Qian Jiazheng looked at Shen Tingyang more similarly to see if this shrewd and capable fellow could realize something. To be honest, when Qian Jiazheng first heard about this, he was not much different from Sun Boyang's reaction, and in the end, it was Qian Yuanzheng who explained it to him before he really understood.

Shen Tingyang only thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is to mention the whitewashing of Dongchang." What the people of the world hate is the word factory guard, as long as I Donglin Party people raise their arms and shout that factory guards harm the people, the people in the streets and alleys but those who have heard of it, all of them have risen up to respond to my Donglin Party people, and attack the factory guards. Now His Majesty has changed the name of the East Factory, and said that the previous cruelty of the people was done by someone pretending to be a factory guard, which is a way to avoid the important and take the light. What kind of Times office did you change the signboard of the East Factory to, isn't it just a change of soup and not a change of medicine? ”

Qian Jiazheng nodded appreciatively, and then sincerely persuaded him: "Brother Shen is really a capable talent, I advise Brother Shen to spend more time on this career and find a right path." Don't think about using the prison student as an official anymore, I can only be in charge of the government if I am born in the imperial examination, so that I can display Brother Shen's great talent. And only if you pass the Jinshi examination, you will have the same year and the teacher, in this Ming officialdom, without the same year and the teacher, Brother Shen will be in trouble everywhere even if he is out of office. ”

Sun Boyang looked at Shen Tingyang who was looked at differently by Qian Jiazheng with some jealousy, but he couldn't say anything.

Shen Tingyang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If it is a scripture, I can barely read it, but I am really powerless with these eight strands of text." Besides, I have no intention of pursuing a career, but I just want an official body, if the court uses me, then I will naturally tremble and serve the monarch. If you don't use me, it's not a big deal, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and my life's wish is to travel in the forest and do a casual job. ”

Qian Jiazheng hadn't said anything yet, Sun Boyang finally couldn't stand it anymore, he interrupted and said: "Your Majesty laundered the East Factory, what is the connection with Lu Wanling's comeback today?" ”

Qian Jiazheng was a little unhappy that his conversation with Shen Tingyang was interrupted, but he thought that he would use this person to incite public opinion in the Guozi Prison, so he said briefly: "Although His Majesty said that he was lightly punished before, Lu Wanling is a minion of the eunuch party, and everyone in the Guozi Prison knows it.

Wei Zhongxian was expelled from the capital by His Majesty, and people in the world thought that this was His Majesty's strategy to capture the old man, maybe Wei Gelding had already fallen halfway through the law before he arrived in Fengyang, the central capital. Half a month ago, Wei Zhongxian had arrived in Fengyang, and after he entered the garrison eunuch's mansion, he imprisoned himself in the mansion, and he didn't dare to leave the mansion for a single step.

However, to this day, His Majesty not only did not mention Wei Eunuch again, but also changed the name of Dongchang, indicating that the eunuch party has become a thing of the past. Even the real minions of the eunuch party such as Dongchang Fanzi can be safe and sound, what else does Lu Wanling need to be afraid of? ”

Sun Boyang finally understood, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "It turns out that this generation thinks that the limelight has passed, so does he want to come out and show off the market again?" On the day of His Majesty's presence, I will reveal his true face to His Majesty. ”

When there was a lot of disturbance in the Guozi Prison, Zhu Youzhen was looking at the ** catalog in the study, he frowned and said: "Why has even Journey to the West become a **, what can a god and monster prohibit?" ”

Wang Chengen smiled and said playfully: "This monkey is really lawless when he makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and he speaks wildly, saying: The emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house this year." It's really the words of the king, so it was banned by Grandpa Sejong. ”
