At the same time, some courtiers suggested that corn, sweet potatoes and other crops from overseas should be planted on a trial basis in barren areas, and Zhengde also agreed, and in several provinces located in mountainous areas where fertile land is scarce, several impoverished counties should be set aside to try to grow new grain, and the trial planting areas will not be subject to grain tax for three years, and they can also receive a one-year grain subsidy.

After auditing, Duan Fei found that now everyone is not talking as empty as in the past, and they no longer talk about the past and the present all day long, the content of the discussion is much more pragmatic, and the methods adopted on things are also in line with the timeliness, and they are not so unbelievable.

After the court discussion, Zhengde left Duan Fei behind, walked into the apse, and Zhengde turned to Duan Fei and said: "Duan Aiqing, I heard that you released Guo Xun as soon as you returned to Jinyiwei yesterday, could it be that Li Hua told the truth, Guo Xun was wronged?" ”

Duan Fei replied: "Back to the emperor, according to Weichen's observation, Guo Houye should not know, he just accepted some bribes and installed a position for others, at most it is the crime of corruption, bribery and dereliction of duty, and has nothing to do with collusion with the Demon Sect, the minister mediated between Guo Houye and Gonggong Li, and persuaded them to join forces with Weichen to set up a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, can this plan be used by Weichen and ask the emperor for instructions......"

Duan Fei explained the plan of transferring the tiger from the mountain to Zhengde in detail, that is, to arrange for the current Taiyuan general army to go to work for some reason, Guo Xun 'remembered' Zhang Yin once wanted that position, and then sent someone to Shanxi to ask for bribes, someone raised objections in the court, Zhengde issued an order to recruit Zhang Yin to Beijing to report on his work, to see if he could reuse, and when Zhang Yin arrived in the capital, it was like enough to enter the poor alley, and when the time came, he could do whatever he wanted, and Zhang Yin could no longer turn the sky over.

When Zhengde heard it, he was overjoyed and said: "This plan is very good, Duan Aiqing's work has won my heart, this arrangement is the most appropriate, if you can eliminate this demon sect force without spending a single soldier, I will reward you well!" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "It is the duty of Weichen to share the worries for the emperor, and the emperor will hand over such an important task to Weichen is the greatest praise for Weichen, the emperor, if Weichen does things smoothly this time, Weichen implores the emperor to allow Weichen to rest for a year and a half, Weichen wants to take his wife and young son to travel to the famous mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and write something quietly for future generations." ”

Zhengde's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Duan Aiqing, you are now at the time of your youth, why do you quit so easily? Without you in the court, I would be like missing my right-hand man......"

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't say that he wanted to return to his hometown, he just wanted to take a break, Rong'er didn't have time to be by her side since she was pregnant, and now Yu'er will call her father, Weichen even forgot his appearance, national and family affairs are equally important, Weichen has done his best for the emperor, but also has to take some time to accompany his family. ”

Zhengde thought for a while and said: "Duan Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, I understand in my heart, just as Aiqing asked, after this matter is done, I will give you half a year off, which is enough for you to travel all over the three mountains and five mountains, right?" Come back when you've had enough, I still have a lot of things to do with you. ”

After Duan Fei achieved his goal, he withdrew, and Zhengde looked at his back, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a little distracted, until someone behind him called: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to Wanshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace." ”

Zhengde said without looking back: "Zhang Aiqing, did you hear Duan Fei's words?" After handling Zhang Yin's case, he will take a leave of absence for half a year, what do you think about this? ”

Zhang Rui sneered: "Your Majesty, Duan Fei is a smart person, the old slave suspects that he is testing the emperor's reaction, maybe he has already noticed it, the emperor, Guo Xun colluded with the Demon Sect The evidence is conclusive, as soon as Duan Fei came back, he casually chatted with Guo Xun and let Guo Xun go, they are clearly in a group, Your Majesty, although Li Fuda's Maitreya Sect has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, but both are evil sects, it is difficult to guarantee that the two will not unite to rebel and make trouble, why should Duan Fei go out to deal with Li Fuda, Dongchang Li Hua is fully sure that Li Fuda and the hidden worries brought by it will be eliminated invisibly, the emperor, Duan Fei's wolf ambition, now the Manchu Dynasty is his people, and if the emperor doesn't start, he will raise tigers! ”

Zhengde took a breath and said, "Is Duan Fei really the White Lotus Sect's Protector Heavenly King second only to the sect master?" I told you to investigate, you've been checking for two years, what evidence can you find? There is no conclusive evidence, why did you ask me to suddenly punish a hero who has made so many contributions to my Ming Dynasty? Do you want to be like Song Gaozong, and kill Duan Fei on a trumped-up charge? ”

Zhang Rui was speechless, Zhengde's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "If Duan Fei really has a plan, Li Fuda's little people haven't been put in his heart yet, and his plan to lure Li Fuda into Beijing is also the most appropriate way to solve this matter, I will never allow anyone to destroy it, Zhang Rui, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Rui said awe-inspiringly: "The old slave understands that the emperor can rest assured, the old slave will never dare to spoil the emperor's affairs." ”

Zhengde nodded and said: "Let's go, accompany me to ask the Queen Mother for peace, God knows that you know and I know this matter, and you must not let a third person know." ”

……

After Duan Fei returned home, he only felt a little restless in his heart, although Zhengde agreed to his request to take a vacation, but for some reason, Duan Fei just felt that something was not quite right.

After thinking about it, Duan Fei felt that he hadn't done anything wrong, maybe it was just that he was too careful, he settled down and thought about whether there was anything wrong in his plan......

An invisible net to Zhang Yin in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Duan Fei received the news in Beijing in a few days, Taiyuan General Soldier Xie Yuan suddenly fell ill, not waiting for Guo Xun to send someone to contact Zhang Yin, Zhang Yin has sent someone to the capital to find Guo Xun's mansion, and sent a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, Guo Xun's acting skills are also good, he pretended to shirk, and defrauded 50,000 taels of silver tickets, so he 'smiled happily', promised to help dredge and dredge, turned around and sent the silver ticket to Duan Fei.

Duan Fei heard that Zhang Yin sent it to the door himself, he almost cheered loudly, but he was even more determined in his heart, he asked Guo Xun to implement the established plan, and the next day Guo Xun encouraged his people in the military department to create a momentum and help Zhang Yin to take the position.

Taiyuan General Army General System Shanxi Except for the Datong Border Army, this position is quite important, Guo Xun's behavior really attracted the attention of Yang Yiqing, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yang Yiqing rejected the request for promotion of the Ministry of War on the grounds of Zhang Yin's lack of experience, Guo Xun personally went to Zhengde to say the item, Zhengde pretended to ask about the matter in the early dynasty, Guo Xun and Yang Yiqing argued in court.

Zhengde was a little undecided, so he asked Duan Fei, who was standing aside and watching the excitement: "Duan Aiqing, you have listened to the argument between Lord Yang and Marquis Wuding, do you have anything to say?" ”

Duan Fei came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Yang said is reasonable, Zhang Yin's resume is really a little less, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate to suddenly take over such an important position, but Guo Houye's words also have their truth, people can't be good-looking, and they can't judge their ability by their resumes, in fact, this Zhang Yin Weichen had seen it two years ago...... Weichen has a good impression of this person, I heard that he trained in Taiyuan Weiri only to serve the country and kill the enemy, and he still thinks that he can still do anything, but ......"

Duan Fei's is nothing but ...... But...... It's been a long time since I've heard it in the court, everyone has a feeling of going back to the old days, a smile appeared on their faces, only to hear him go around and around and finally go back again, Duan Fei said: "For the sake of insurance, it is better for the emperor to issue a holy decree, let Zhang Yin return to Beijing to report on his work, everyone will test it in the court, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, what does the emperor think?" ”

Zhengde said: "Yes, that's it, Yang Aiqing, prepare to draft the purpose." ”

Yang Yiqing glanced at Duan Fei, only to see him tilt his head slightly, Yang Yiqing thought about it, and felt that it would not hurt to invite Zhang Yin to come back and see, so he bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

After this was done, the parties were relieved, Zhengde settled down and began to handle other government affairs, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Rui followed Zhengde to draft the will, Duan Fei took the first step, after returning to Jinyiwei, Duan Fei had a whim, and decided to send Wang Zuo to Taiyuan in person, maybe he could blackmail Zhang Yin, but he supported him in the court today, how could he not receive some benefits!

Zhengde's will was sent to Taiyuan, Wang Zuo returned to the capital a few days later, and he immediately returned to Jinyiwei and said to Duan Fei: "My lord, the lowly post has successfully completed the task, guess how much silver Zhang Yin gave to the lowly job?" ”

Duan Fei smiled: "I can't guess this, how much did he give?" ”

Wang Zuo lowered his face and replied: "It's only 60,000 taels, of which 50,000 taels are for adults, and 10,000 taels are for the hardships of lowly positions. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Yes, you can get 10,000 taels on a trip to Taiyuan, I already knew that this official sent someone to Taiyuan every day, and you can take the 50,000 taels and hand them over to the logistics department, so that they can add some benefits to the brothers, your 10,000 taels is your own, you can handle it yourself." ”

Wang Zuo said with a smile: "That humble position is still a little bit of the light of the adult, all handed over to the logistics department, since the adult took charge of the Jinyi Guard, everyone's income has increased dozens of times, everyone has lived a good life, everyone said, who dares to take bribes to cause chaos to the adult, everyone will not spare him!" ”

Duan Fei said: "Everyone's heart is good, but if there is a deal that you send to the door, it's better not to let it go, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and this official is not an unkind Hai Rui......"

"My lord, who is Hai Rui?" Wang Zuo asked suspiciously.

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Hai Rui, it's one of our legendary county officials, he is an iron-clad clean official with a clean breeze on his sleeves, but everyone's salary is so low, they all have to eat, don't they?" He strictly ordered that there was no corruption and bribery, and no favoritism and malpractice, and as a result, the people of the county government went on strike to protest together, and this old boy actually carried the work of the county government alone, and finally everyone saw him pitiful, and respected him as a rare clean official, so he had to go back to work one by one. ”
