Upon learning of this, Luo Xin carefully recalled what had happened in history, and he remembered that a series of very bad things would happen to the Ming this year, and Alatan Khan finally started a war with the Ming in August. After recalling a series of historical events, Luo Xin couldn't help but shake his head, in fact, the Ming Dynasty went downhill from the beginning of Jiajing until the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Zhou Zhixian had brought back the news from the prefect, Luo Xin also had an excuse to inform Lu Tingfang that there had indeed been an accident at the border pass, and he left home and went to Lu Mansion.

After a lapse of five days.

Zhou Tingyu handed over the official documents to the new magistrate, and then went to the Xuanfu Division of Jinyang Mansion to report, and became a six-pin Xuanfu Division.

After Li Tianhua, the county magistrate of Yangqu County, learned of this news, he was so disheartened that he actually resigned from the government and wanted to return to his hometown. However, it was rejected, and Li Tianhua got drunk every day and ignored political affairs.

this day.

Zhou Yu sent someone to invite Luo Xin and Zhang Xun to Jinyang Mansion to get together, Luo Xin and Zhang Xun naturally went, even if there was no Zhou Yu to invite them, the two of them were ready to go to Jinyang Mansion in the near future. The father-in-law has been promoted, and as the son-in-law, he always has to congratulate him.

The two of them bought some gifts and came to Jinyang Zhou's mansion, and after some congratulations, Zhou Tingyu held a banquet to entertain them. During the banquet, Zhou Tingyu looked at Luo Xindao:

"Xin'er, there is still more than a month to take the government exam, and my father-in-law knows that there is no problem for you to pass the house exam, but you still have to review it from time to time."

"The child understands!" Luo Xin said respectfully.

Zhou Tingyu looked at Zhang Xun again and said, "Ziyu, when Xin'er passes the government exam, the two of you will participate in the dao exam together." How prepared are you? ”

Zhang Xun said respectfully: "Father-in-law, the child is very well prepared this time, and I dare not say that I won the first place in the test, but there should be no problem in the exam." ”

"Good!" Zhou Tingyu said happily, and then looked at Zhou Yu again. Zhou Yu was the first to smile and said: "Father, don't worry, I, Brother Xun and Brother Xin will definitely get you back three people this time." ”

"Good, good, good! Hahaha......" Zhou Tingyu laughed heartily.

The atmosphere of the banquet was extremely joyful and harmonious, and after returning to his home in Yanglin County from Jinyang Mansion, Luo Xin sank his heart into reading. But he didn't read the Four Books and the Five Classics. Luo Xin has a clear understanding of himself, and he knows that his current knowledge has reached a bottleneck, and he can't improve it by studying hard. Instead, you need to travel to further understand the era of the Ming Dynasty and enhance your understanding of this era, so that you can have the soil for your knowledge to improve.

So he simply put aside the Four Books and Five Classics, but re-wrote the military books and war strategies that he had written to his eldest brother, and studied them while writing silently, after all, according to the course of history, in August, Alatan Khan will start a war with the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he recalled the step-by-step course of the August war.

In the past, I didn't want to write my own poems. Winning the battle for water, winning the fame gained by the head of the case, or helping the father-in-law prevent the occurrence of the plague are all small feats. Even if it reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will only laugh. At most, you will be slightly interested in him, and forget about it after a few days. Therefore, Luo Xincai gave the merit of preventing the plague to Zhou Zhi County.

However, this time the war was different.

It's not just because Alatan Khan has always been a nightmare for the Ming Dynasty. It is a nightmare for Emperor Jiajing, and it is also because this year is a disaster year for the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be a year that makes Emperor Jiajing and the Manchu Dynasty anxious. It was a year that Emperor Jiajing remembered deeply. If he Luo Xin can stand out in this year, he will definitely be remembered by Emperor Jiajing. At that time, even if Yan Dang and Xu Dang want to stop themselves, it will become difficult. Therefore, while recalling in detail all the records in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, Luo Xin actually had a little expectation in his heart.

What is due will come!

On the third day of the third month of the 40th year of Jiajing, Huang Qijian of Guangdong led thousands of people from Hui and Chaoshan to attack Haifeng, Jieshi, Guishan and other counties, broke the Jiazimen Inspection Division, and killed Wei Zuo, a hundred households of officials and soldiers, which shook the government and the public.

Zhou Yu quickly sent someone to write the news into a letter in detail, and sent someone to send it to Luo Xin quickly. Luo Xin knew that his level determined his own news blockade, but Zhou Tingyu, who was now the secretary of Jinyang Xuanfu, was able to receive all kinds of news that happened in Daming. So the last time he went to Jinyang to celebrate Zhou Tingyu, he asked Zhou Yu to inform him of these news.

In addition to this news, the letter also contains a summary of some things that happened before.

The battle of Annan and the uprising of Li people in Yazhou, both have the imperial history of the left capital of praise and painting, plus the prince Shaobao Zhou Yan died on February 11 in the 40th year of Jiajing, at the age of 63, and gave the prince Taibao, and said Jiansu.

Wang Bangrui, the secretary of the military department who once fought against Alatan Khan, died on December 13, the 40th year of Jiajing, at the age of seventy-seven.

Wu Shan, who is upright and does not flatter the powerful and powerful, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Prince Taibao, in February of the 40th year of Jiajing, because of the words of the solar eclipse, Emperor Jiajing accused him of selling his name. On March 15, he was idle, and the people were uneven.

A generation of famous generals Prince Taibao, the governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding military affairs, was instructed by Yan Song to impeach Zheng Mao and others for embezzling military salaries, and was seized of office on June 26, 40th year of Jiajing.

The border passes are eroded, the officials of the central anti-strict party are dead, and the officials who are dismissed are dismissed, and none of the news is good news, but Xu Jie's party has disappeared and is dormant.

Luo Xin, who received the news, shook his head gloomily after reading the letter and threw the letter on the table. looked out the window in a daze for a while, and said with a wry smile:

"And that's just the beginning!"

"Stepping on ......"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the voices of Butterfly and Chunhua were heard: "Meet the eldest prince." ”

Luo Qing's voice rang out: "What about the little brother?" ”

"Childe is in the study."

The descendants of the Luo family called Luo Xin very strangely, it stands to reason that Luo Xin should be called the second son, but they all call Luo Xin the son. In their hearts, Luo Xin is the one who is really in charge of this family. Luo Xin's parents and eldest brother knew this, and they also acquiesced to this title.

Luo Qing said "um" and walked towards the study, at this time Lu Daqing had already come out of the study, he knew that Luo Xin and Luo Qing were very close, and trotted out and said:

"Meet the eldest prince!"

"Well, pour me a cup of tea." Luo Xin said as he walked into the study. Luo Xin had already come out from the inner room: "Big brother." ”

"Let me drink a glass of water first, I'm dying of thirst."
