"I'll be back!"

After Qin Lin said goodbye to Qing Dai and Xu Xinyi, he looked at the city wall of Jingshi that had gone through vicissitudes and the glazed treasure roof of the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, and left this classic line that belonged to the mastermind behind the scenes.

There are no regrets in this trip, although Qin Lin has removed all his duties, Xu Xinyi is still the only daughter of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, the cousin of Xu Wenbi, the prince of Dingguo in Beijing, and a relative of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, Wuqing Bofu, she and Qingdai stayed in Beijing, and no one dared to bully them.

Although Qi Jiguang has been dismissed, I am afraid that the handover will take a year and a half, and it is not interesting for Qi Jin and several young generals to stay in the border army, Qin Lin arranged for them to go to Zhang Xiaoyang to be the officers of Tengxiang Siwei, and use Qi Jiguang's art of war to play the Siwei Military Academy.

Zhang Gongyu, the old brother, was not implicated in any way, he belonged to Qingliu with an excellent reputation, and he was a protégé who stayed in the second assistant Shen Shixing, and was appreciated by Chen Wei and Wu Dui, the two top bosses, and his position was very stable!

Zhang Cheng and Qin Lin "drew a clear line" in time, perhaps because Wanli learned the lesson of Feng Bao and did not want Zhang Whale's family to be dominant, when Zhang Hong "committed suicide" and used Zhang Whale as the eunuch of the celebrant to hold the seal, he put Zhang Cheng in the position of the commander of the East Factory, and maintained the situation of two confrontations in the inner court.

Huo Chonglou was a blessing in disguise, Qin Lin was dismissed and exiled, he was a little precarious in the East Factory, as soon as Zhang Hong died, Zhang Whale took over in the celebrant supervisor, but the Governor of the East Factory was replaced by Qin Lin's old friend Zhang Cheng, and then everything was good.

The position of the seal officer of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town was given to Luo Sigong, the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei, and Zhang Zunyao, who was waiting for Qin Lin to fall and ascend to the throne, went to Jiangling by order, and he didn't know that he had pounced, even if he came back, he could only continue to squat in the corner of the Nanzhen Fusi to draw circles.

Luo Sigong was born in a family of Jinyi Wuchen, and Liu Shouyou's background is different from that of Wenchen, and he has nothing to do with Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng, and he is the person mentioned by Wanli himself.

Xu Wenchang's analysis believes that Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi, and Zhang Whale are the same party, and Nanzhen Fusi is Zhang Zunyao, Zhang Whale's nephew, so Wanli deliberately took Luo Sigong to mix sand in Jinyiwei.

Luo Sigong will face the attack of Liu Shouyou and Zhang Zunyao when he takes office, so on the one hand, he promoted his henchmen, and on the other hand, he adopted a method of entrapment against Hong Yangshan, Ma Bin, Diao Shigui, Hua Deguan and others left by Qin Lin, and did not deliberately suppress them, of course, it is impossible for Hong and Ma to be as comfortable as Qin Lin when he was in power.

In contrast, the two brothers Geng Xiangxiang and Geng Dingli are much happier, and their status has even improved, because on the surface, they have always opposed Zhang Juzheng, but after being controlled by Qin Lin, they changed to "small scolding and big help", "openly scolding and secretly helping", which is not known to the world. At the same time, Wanli recalled the old-fashioned ministers in the court, such as the new Dali Temple Cheng Zhao Yingyuan, and the criminal department Shangshu Wang Yongji, who were all friends of the Geng brothers.

Qin Lin left Beijing this time and exiled to Qiongzhou, all the official positions were pushed to the end, but they were full of the hearts of the army and the people, and the hope of the world, and the overall situation of the DPRK and China was secretly distributed, as the so-called hidden dragon temporarily collected minions in the yuan, and when he entered Beijing again, I am afraid that it was the time when the flying dragon was in the sky...... "Go, brothers, hurry up!" After Qin Lin rode his horse to see off everyone's sight, he did not go east to Tongzhou and go south by the waterway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but turned the horse's head and changed the southwest direction, and went north to Baoding Mansion.

Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali, and ten personal soldiers immediately stepped up, and they all resigned from their official positions for various reasons and followed Qin Lin's side—if it weren't for Qin Lin's strict forbiddenness, there would have been several times or dozens of times more brothers in the official academy doing this.

"Alas, Zixuan, Zixuan, do you look down on the foolish brother?" Touching the letter hidden in the pocket of his chest, Qin Lin's heart was both sweet and couldn't help but be anxious.

Zhang Zixuan is quite the true biography of her father Zhang Juzheng, and the power of the city government is not inferior to Xu Wenchang, the old slippery head who has been up and down for decades, and even more high-rise, but she cares about it, this time I heard that the direction of the stroke has changed, and she wrote to say that she has not seen Qin Lin for three years of filial piety at home, so she wants to take Qin Lin out and avoid being involved in the Zhang family.

As everyone knows, Qin Lin is afraid of what kind of trouble? He himself has to dig out his own way to cheat the court staff!

Qiu Huan, the squire of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Zunyao, the Fusi of Nanzhen, had led Ti Qi out of Beijing three days ago, in order to avoid being held back by the government and opposition forces sympathizing with Zhang Juzheng and the Jiangling Party, they had to go through the starry night, but Qin Lin had to wait for the holy decree to be issued, so he had to be three days late.

Will he be able to catch up?

Huguang Jingzhou Mansion governs Jiangling City, thousands of miles of Yangtze River surrounds the city, there are too many legends in the ancient city for thousands of years, and in the past ten years, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Taishi, is undoubtedly the greatest pride of the city.

Zhang Juzheng is generous and fierce for the government, and works hard, from the court to the people, he changed the decline of being bullied by the Japanese and the Beiyu in the year of Jiajing, and gradually has the eyebrows of Wanli Zhongxing, so no matter where the people of Jiangling go, they will tell others angrily: Zhang Taishi is our neighborhood, and I also moved crabs and caught grasshoppers with him when I was a child!

When this sentence is spoken, it often immediately receives many admiring, envious, and surprised eyes.

Zhang Juzheng's life has been compiled into all kinds of true or false legends by the Jiangling people, what Zhang Taishi was born thunder and lightning, when he was a child, pointing to the spring water and other stories, the old man always relish in front of his young children and grandchildren, and the Taishi Mansion located in the middle of the city has become a similar belief in the minds of Jiangling people.

But now, the atmosphere of the whole Gangneung City has become oppressive, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, and even if a few people pass by, they are in a hurry, lest they bring disaster to themselves.

Because in the morning, a team of brazen horsemen came to Jiangling, and they directly sealed the gate of the Taishi Mansion, and I heard that the emperor sent them to raid the house.

Didn't Taishi Zhang govern the Ming Dynasty vigorously? Isn't he a conscientious assistant to the ten-year-old prince, loyal to the imperial court for ten years, and recognized as a teacher by the Son of Heaven? Why did the emperor send someone to raid his house shortly after he died?

The people of Gangneung couldn't figure it out, so they held back their grievances and nested the fire in their chests.

In a private house on the side of the street, there was a child's immature voice: "Grandpa, grandpa, is the story you told about Taishi Zhang when he was a child?" ”

The old man rubbed the top of his grandson's head, "Of course it's true, Mrs. Zhang has studied hard since he was a child, and he cares about the people very much, he vowed to serve the country, and later he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age......"

"But why did the imperial court send someone to raid the house?" Sun Er blinked his eyes in confusion: "Those people were riding horses just now, holding knives and guns, so fierce, Tie Dan and I were playing on the side of the road, and I was almost hit by their horses, and Tie Dan was also whipped." ”

"Because there are ministers in the court, the emperor has been deceived by the ministers," the old man lowered his voice, but through the window he cast the eyes of the group in front of the Taishi Mansion with deep disgust.

The door of the vermilion lacquer copper nail has been tightly closed, Qiu Hu and Zhang Zunyao stood at the door with great martial arts, reading out the holy decree issued by the Wanli Emperor: to deprive Zhang Juzheng of the titles of Taishi and Shangzhuguo that he had received during his lifetime, and to take back all the gifts given to Zhang Juzheng by the imperial court, including the porcelain, silver medals, eight treasures and silver ingots and inscriptions, etc., which were recovered one by one.

"Hurry up, seal up all the mansions, don't let them escape with the money!" Wu Xi, the prefect of Jingzhou, commanded the three classes of officials in the palace and surrounded the Zhang family.

It is this Wu Xi, in the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng Ding was worried about going home to do his father's funeral, he served before and after the saddle, and tried his best to flatter, but Zhang Juzheng's bones were not cold, Wanli ordered to raid the house, and he was more anxious than anyone else, and rushed to seal the door.

A clear and pleasant voice came from the house: "Governor Wu, in fact, you don't need to be in such a hurry, our Zhang family will not flee with the money, the things that Your Majesty gave to the ancestors are all contained here, you move to the Imperial Palace, let Your Majesty count it personally, and it will not be short." ”

In the courtyard, Zhang Zixuan's goose egg face was flushed with anger, and she said loudly angrily, at her feet, there were many things that Wanli gave Zhang Juzheng, what tooth badges, what gold, silver and jewelry, but a few plaques written by the royal pen were particularly eye-catching: "Er for the salt plum", "you make a boat", "the wind and clouds will meet", "Zhengda Guangming"...... These are all gifts from this good student to the teacher during the ten years that Zhang Juzheng assisted Wanli, expressing his respect and love for the teacher, but at this moment, it is an excellent irony.

As an emperor, Wanli is so capricious, how broken his word and fat!

"Miss Zhang, this is not the time for Lord Lingzun to be the first assistant of the Taishi, I advise you to know the current affairs!" Wu Xi, who was outside the courtyard wall, said that, he flicked his sleeves angrily, and commanded the officials to block the door.

Not only did Zhang Juzheng not become the first assistant of the Taishi, but even the Jiangling Party he promoted was all reprimanded, and it was Wu Xi's top boss, Wang Zhiyuan, the governor of Huguang, who also resigned and returned to his hometown a few days ago, so he was so bold and reckless, eager to flatter and curry favor in front of the upstarts in the court.

After performing for most of the day, Wu Xi finally ran to Qiu Hu and Zhang Zunyao like a dog, and said with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "Qiu Shilang, Commander Zhang, the subordinate officials have assigned personnel to surround the Zhang family, you two look, should we go to the house in first now, or go to wash the dust for the two of you?" ”

"Of course it's a raid!" Qiu Hu shook the sleeves of his robe very proudly, and said sharply: "We have come by order, and we will naturally be loyal to each other, this family raid is a first-class and first-class matter explained by His Majesty. ”

"Oh, Qiu Shilang is really a loyal minister of the country, and he deserves to be a famous Qingliu celebrity!" Wu Xi sighed and admired again.

Zhang Zunyao was also gearing up, he had heard that Zhang Juzheng's mansion was rich in wealth, and he was going to make a fortune this time.
