Qin Lin's movements in Shanxi were like a thunderbolt, which attracted the attention of all the forces in the government and the opposition: find out Zhang Yunling's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, overthrow Zhang Siwei, the prime minister of Fengpan, recruit the two religions of Wusi, Tibet, Yellow and White, and offer the strategy of reopening the Western Regions, and finally when the Jiangling Party was all deposed and the new policy was about to collapse, he took the great risk of being convicted by the imperial court, turned the tide, returned to the sky with one hand, and secretly led the land in the Sanjin Pass to continue to implement the new policy!

Each of these things alone is enough to amaze the world, but also interlocking, forming a series of exquisite combination punches, when what happened in the Sanjin Pass or through the Di Bao, or by the eyes and ears of the forces of all parties, or the mouth of the traveler spread throughout the government and the opposition, countless people were amazed by the case, gritted their teeth for it, and celebrated for it......

Yangcheng County, Zezhou, Shanxi, is only separated from Pingyang Prefecture, where Puzhou is located, by a teaching mountain, and what happened in Puzhou reached here, and the news was received even earlier than Jingshi.

There is a Nanyang village to the south of the county, Yangcheng County and even Zezhou are very famous, because there is a Tianguan Mansion here, which is the residence of the former official Shangshu Wang Guoguang, this Wanli minister was born in Nanyang Village, in the past ten years, the father and the villagers mentioned Wang Tianguan are proud.

But now the Tianguan Mansion has long been empty, there is moss under the eaves, the wild grass growing on the roof is sparse, and it is becoming yellow in the autumn wind.

A messenger with a blue head wrapped around his head and green cloth shirt and leggings passed in front of the gate of the Tianguan Mansion, looking at the bleak and dilapidated scene, he couldn't help but sigh, dismounted and walked around, and loosened his waist and hips.

In previous years, the letter had been delivered here, but in recent years it had to be sent farther to the south ditch, after the messenger had rested a little. Get on the horse again and hurry on the road.

After Wang Guoguang's dismissal. There were still people in the court who wanted to kill him, so they secretly sent people to follow him back to Yangcheng, spreading some Wang Guoguang everywhere to form a party with Zhang Jiangling in the court. even intended to usurp the throne, thus angering the Son of Heaven and other rumors. The timid and fearful people of the same clan were afraid of being supplied, so they spread evil words everywhere. finally drove Wang Guoguang's family out of Nanyang Village.

Now Wang Guoguang is no longer the head of the six ministries of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials, no longer the pride of Pingyang County and Nanyang Village, but an unlucky person who may suffer unforeseen disasters at any time, driven out of his hometown by his ruthless fellow clansmen, and can only live in a ravine far away from the village.

There is a south ditch outside Nanyang Village, and there is a wide cave that can accommodate hundreds of people, and this cave is full of tables, benches, pots and pans, men and women go in and out. Some make fires to cook, some collect firewood, and some sew and mend. There was a look of despair on everyone's faces, more or less dejected—just ask about being kicked out of the well-built mansion. Who can be happy in a cave?

Only outside the cave, under the big locust tree. A septuagenarian sits on a stone, holding a book in his hand and studying carefully, he is wearing a blue cloth straight jacket, wearing a square scarf on his head, his eyebrows are bright, his face is ruddy, there are not many wrinkles, he has a crane hair and a childish face, he looks like a family is still passable in the mountains and forests, or he has chosen one or two states and counties and left his career, and placed his affection on the mountains and rivers.

But if anyone sees the words on the book he reads, he will definitely be surprised: "The lifeblood of the country is here, and if it is sluggish, what will be the disadvantage?" Because of the examination of the previous generation, Tang Youping Fushu and National Accounting Records, and Song Youyuan Accounting Records...... Although the "Huidian" and "Yitongzhi" contain household affairs, they are only approximate...... So he didn't measure himself, and together with the waiter Li Youzi belonged to all the divisions, read the case, edited it for more than a year, and all gave Guangmao a review of the old classics, published the articles of association, and submitted the name to Yongli! ”

This is not a secluded mountain or a book to read by a rural eunuch, the words are the tone of the ministry and the ministers, turn the inside page, the Ming Emperor's territory, taxes in and out, the number of household registrations, fish and salt minerals are all contained in it, a book in the hand such as the Qiankun in the hand, the Ming Dynasty inside and outside the virtual reality is like a palm view, it is the famous "Wanli Accounting Record"!

Needless to say, the old man who holds this top secret of the imperial court is the main compiler of the Wanli accounting record, and has successively served as the secretary of the household department, the secretary of the department, the prince and the prince, and the king of Guanglu.

"Dad, we've all fallen into such a field, what are you still doing with your books?" Wang Guoguang's youngest son walked under the tree and said with a sad face: "There is a place to live in this cave, it is really boring, Dad, do you want to find relatives and friends?" It's also good to fight the autumn breeze. ”

Wang Guoguang looked back at his son, and then turned his face to look at the treetops: "The immortal residence is far away in the west of Shuiyun, and it is low when you enter the green and dark world. Pull out the stone fine plate tiger leopard, support the sky and hang the rainbow. The scenery here is like this, and you can send love to the landscape, so why move home? ”

The youngest son pouted and sulked secretly, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his father, so he protested by not leaving.

Wang Guoguang smiled, this youngest son is only in his fifties, there are many things, and he still doesn't understand many things, as a former official of the ministry, his protégés and former officials are all over the world, where is it really to be driven out of the house by the clansmen? Living in a cave, not to learn from Tao Yuanming and picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, but to imitate Xie Gong to raise and look at Dongshan.

Father and son were jotling, when the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the valley, and the form of the messenger pierced through the mountain mist and gradually revealed.

"The king, the lord of the king, my lord has a letter to enshrine," the messenger rolled his saddle and fell from his horse, knelt down on his knees, and raised a letter high with both hands.

There is no name on the cover, the recipient is the teacher Wang Tianguan Shuan, and the sender is the door Mu En, which is called well-known, so as not to give any ulterior motives to the truth.

Wang Guoguang opened the fire paint seal, shook out the letter paper and took a look, and suddenly the old man's eyes were shining, and he muttered: "Zhang Fengpan, Zhang Fengpan, you also have today!" Qin Lin, well done, the old man didn't misread you! ”

Well? The youngest son is favored, he has never been afraid of his father, he stretched his neck to look at it from behind, this look is terrible, and his pupils constricted suddenly: Qin Lin found out that Zhang Yunling was guilty of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and recruited the two religions of Wusi, Tibet, Yellow and White, and offered a strategy to open the Western Regions again; Shanxi Governor Zhang Gongyu started from the autumn expedition and continued to implement the new policy in Guanzhong!

Wang Guoguang has been in charge of the ministry for many years, and many of his protégés and former officials are in important positions, and this letter was sent by a messenger sent by his proud protégé Baba, rushing to tell the good news to the teacher.

"Dad, you're going to reuse it!" The youngest son was overjoyed.

Wang Guoguangyun smiled lightly, and chanted the last four sentences of the poem that he had not finished reciting just now: "Horizontal Jincui light is suspicious, and I want to be fascinated by Lang Ji step." The hidden insect book ring is surrounded by four walls, and the future is still self-revealed! ”

A good future is still self-evident, the old man is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles!

In Zhongxiang County, Huguang Chengtianfu, there is a big Sima Mansion, which used to be the pride of the county's population, but with the loss of the Jiangling Party, the mansion of the former military department Shangshu has also become deserted.

Zeng Xingwu's luck is a little better than Wang Guoguang, and he hasn't been kicked out yet, in fact, his luck is good, it's really good.

Qiu Hu and Zhang Zunyao had already prepared the means of Luo Zhilian, if according to the original history, he would have been confiscated by Qiu Hu's family property, brought to justice, and reduced to the bleak and miserable scene of "horn scarves and green clothes, prison clothes begging, and the cane of the middle official". Dozens of generals such as Liu Cheng and 140,000 troops swept away the rebellion of servants that had plagued the heart of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, and Zeng Xingwu, who had made great contributions to "expanding the land for more than 400 miles", will have his family property confiscated and imprisoned in his hometown.

The Ming Dynasty military department Shangshu called this soldier, both in charge of military and political affairs, in charge of strategy, great authority, such as Yu Qian in the Jingdi period, if it was not for Qin Lin's help, Qiu Hu and Zhang Zunyao were stopped when they raided the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zeng Shengwu's wrongs would also be chased after Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao.

Thanks to Qin Lin, Zeng Xingwu did not fall into the most miserable situation, and now he also wears a scarf and a green coat, but instead of begging for mercy and being beaten by the eunuch cane, he is comfortably basking in the sun in his own yard, and there are two servant girls who were captured back then serving tea and pouring water for him, which looks very leisurely.

The footsteps sounded, and someone smiled heartily: "Go and stay unintentionally, watch the flowers bloom in front of the court, don't be surprised, watch the clouds roll in the sky, and the virtuous brothers of the three provinces are proud?" ”

Zeng Xingwu jumped up when he heard this, strode over, and pulled the hand of the comeder: "Brother Ershi, I'm smiling!" The foolish brother only wants to be a rich man now, and all the things in the past have long been a thing of the past. ”

The former governor of Huguang, Wang Zhiyuan, the character Ershi, the feudal official of Huguang, the general of the Jiangling Party, and Wang Xiangqian's father, was once ordered by Zhang Juzheng to kill the Confucian He Xinyin. Last year, seeing that the situation was not good, he was interested in himself, and first resigned from the official position because of illness, but he did not rush to leave Huguang, but used the name of visiting the scenery of Huxiang to run among the former allies of the Jiangling Party.

Wang Zhiyuan patted Zeng Shengwu's arm and said regretfully: "The virtuous brothers of the three provinces really dare to be heroic and sharp, and have made great achievements for the imperial court of the country, and now they are trapped in the mansion, and they would rather not make people sigh!" The virtuous brother is extremely talented, and it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but he was slandered by the traitorous party and dismissed and returned to his hometown, really, really ......"

Zeng Xingwu's face turned red all of a sudden, of course his heart was not as calm as it seemed, Wang Guoguang was seventy years old and wrote a poem "The future is still self-revealed", he has just turned fifty years old, it is when he is in the prime of life, why don't he want to return to the court to make contributions?

Recalling that year, among the members of the Jiangling Party, Zeng Xingwu was one of the youngest, charging for Zhang Juzheng, and also made great contributions to the imperial court.

But if the situation in the court is so unbearable, what can be hoped for? Zeng Xingwu asked himself, and he was a little discouraged.

Wang Zhiyuan showed a mysterious smile on his face, and whispered a few words in Zeng Xingwu's ear.

Zeng Xingwu was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, and finally he laughed: "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you did a good thing!" Zeng was a big white ...... Come on, Brother Ershi, let's drink and talk happily, congratulations to Brother Qin! ”

"Congratulations to us too!" Wang Zhiyuan said, and smiled at Zeng Xingwu. (To be continued)
