Chapter 113 The impeccable castle


Chapter 113 The Impeccable Castle

Luzon, in the second year of Wanli, was the busiest trade center and port in the world.

In the 16th year of Zhengde, Hernán Cortes, a colonist from Spain, captured the city of Tenochtitlan. The Aztec Empire fell, and Mexico, Cuba, Peru and other places... became a Spanish colony.

This war of annihilation is extremely ridiculous to say. Moctezuma II, the ruler of the Aztec Empire, did not know that he was receiving the devil, so he warmly received the Spanish envoys, and then Tesuma II was kidnapped.

In just ten weeks, the huge Aztec Empire disappeared into the long river of history.

In the 14th year of Jiajing, Spain established a viceroyalty and officially began its colonial rule over Mexico. In the same year, on Mount Rico in Peru, the Spaniards were surprised to discover that this seemingly desolate and barren peak was actually The richest silver ore mother lode ever discovered by mankind.

After discovering the treasure that the Incas tried to hide, a mountain of silver, the Spanish were ecstatic and immediately used countless Inca and Indian slaves to mine silver mines. Tens of thousands of people flocked to Rico Peak and built to the city of Podosi.

In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing reign, a large number of mercury mines were discovered on the bank of the barren Ijo River, near the city of Huancavelica. Mercury can be used to extract pure silver from the ore sand.

In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the Spaniards extended their tentacles to the east, almost in the same way, they destroyed Luzon and established a new colony.

The Spaniards felt the prosperity here in Luzon.

For the colonists, the people in the far east were so ingenious and skilled that they could make anything they could think of. The silk here is smooth and delicate, the porcelain is exquisite and clear, and the tea leaves are refreshing.

Mercury is mined from the Icho River and then transported to Rico Peak to refine the silver. Along the ancient roads built by the Incas, the silver is transported to the city of Podosi and Lima, where it is located in the mints in both places. , press the silver into silver coins, and then set sail at the Port of Lima, or transport it back to Spain, or transport it to the Port of Acapulco in Mexico, across the vast Pacific Ocean, and go to the far east, directly to Manila in Luzon .

At this time, Manila, Luzon, was the busiest trade center and port in the world.

Products from all over the world are distributed here, including porcelain and silk from China, carpets from India and Persia, perfume from Malacca, cloves from Java, cinnamon from Ceylon, pepper and cotton from India, and silver The purchasing power in Luzon is more than three times higher than in Mexico and Spain.

The route from Dianbai Port in Guangzhou Prefecture, Yuegang Prefecture in Fujian Province, and Songjiang Prefecture to Manila is very mature. As a general who has been fighting on the front line of peace and Japanese battles all year round, Deng Zilong landed at Manila Port with familiarity. .

Deng Zilong was a merchant, and his ship was carrying some very popular goods called Foshan Iron Pot.

Each pot can be exchanged for one eight rials.

Deng Zilong stepped into the port with excellent products. As soon as he landed, Deng Zilong saw a castle and fortress, which was particularly dazzling.

This castle was the bridgehead built by the Hong Mao Fan. It relied on waterways for supplies. For a long time, the King of Luzon was helpless with this castle.

The surviving king of Luzon, Soliman, was eventually killed by Governor Francis, and Luzon was destroyed. The Red Mao Fan established the Luzon Viceroyalty, became an empire on which the sun never sets, and began colonial rule.

After Deng Zilong landed, the crew members dispersed into the bustling port and began to collect intelligence. This kind of collection was extremely efficient for civilian intelligence, but extremely inefficient for military intelligence.

Because the Hong Mao Fan was hiding in the castle and rarely communicated with outsiders, the Ming people, Luzon people, Japanese people, and Nanyang people were all refused to enter the castle.

Deng Zilong walked through the streets and alleys of this port and bought some goods with Hong Mao Fan's currency. After seeing the magic of money, he smiled. He had found someone who was looking for military intelligence. The trick.

Money seems to be able to do anything in Manila.

The scattered crew members returned to the ship at night, and Deng Zilong lit the oil lamps one by one. He was a staff general, and he was also sitting on the pond at night. He was responsible for collecting intelligence, and the claw detective A lot of information has been collected with the police.

The first claw detective said: "I chatted with a sailor for a long time. This sailor was a Japanese and was purchased by a red-haired fan. The red-haired fan's ship set sail from the port of Acapulco, Mexico. , It usually only takes two or three months to travel all the way west to our feet."

"The return trip has to go to Japan, and then back to Mexico, which takes eight months. More than ten years ago. , there was a missionary named Urdaneta in Hong Mao Fan who discovered the Kuroshio, which is called a river in the ocean. Traveling along the current can save at least five months. "
< br>The second claw detective said with a solemn expression: "Since the 29th year of Jiajing, Japanese rebellion has been widespread. People from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou have fled here and gathered on the other side of the river. These people are engaged in farming, fishing, transportation, and sewing. To make a living, the city of Manila cannot function without them. There are many fleeing people who work as small bosses on large sailing ships, while the Luzon people are slaves."

"Here, except for the red people. Mao Fan is not a slave, everyone else is a slave."

The third claw probe said: "The reason why Hong Mao Fan wants to build a shipyard in Manila is because teak wood produced in Southeast Asia is light and strong. , has strong plasticity, can effectively prevent shipworms, and can also obtain cheap tung oil. It is worth noting that there are two shipyards in Manila, and the shipyard for building large sailing ships is within the castle. "


"The shipyard we can see here only builds sloops. The castle is inaccessible at all. Any tentative inquiries will arouse vigilance."

The claw detectives continued to report information, and Deng Zilong was holding a pencil and writing and drawing quickly, outlining the shape of Manila.

The pencil is a reward from the capital. His Majesty's reward is very generous, and this sketch pen is faster in intelligence.

Information is gathering rapidly.

Politically, the governor-general established by the Hong Mao Fan in Luzon is a slave system. Except for the Hong Mao Fan, everyone else here is a slave. Life and death are all under the control of the Hong Mao Fan. The law only It applies to Hong Maofan, and it only applies to that castle.

In the military, it is an elite composed of one thousand to two thousand red-haired soldiers, and nearly 10,000 Luzon people follow them. These Luzon people often think that they are superior, but in fact they are also part of the slaves Forget it, the elite are equipped with a large number of firearms, including blunderbuss and various artillery, while the Luzon people's armament is only a knife, and at most a bow and arrow.

Economically, the supporters are the Ming Dynasty people who fled when the Japanese invasion was widespread. They endured great suffering here, but they are also the pillars and hard-working producers of porcelain and gunpowder. , sulfur, steel, iron, mercury, copper, flour, dried fruits, textiles, ships, etc. were all produced by the Ming people.

Culturally, it presents a magical state of multi-cultural intersection. People here have different beliefs. It is extremely common to kill or harm each other at the bottom. This is the basic manifestation of slavery, artificial division of slaves. The distinction between slaves and exploiting their conflicts to harm each other does not threaten the status of slave owners.

Deng Zilong collected all the intelligence and said with a serious face: "Our enemies are stronger than we imagined, but at the same time, it also shows that we have found the reason why Japanese invasions continue to be suppressed. Here, It is one of the old nests of the Hong Mao Fan. "

The causes of Japanese pirates are extremely complicated. Although the large-scale Japanese pirates have subsided, small groups of Japanese pirates will continue to invade the border areas, and the Hong Mao Fan has no problem. Doubt is one of the reasons.

"I will go to the camp in person tomorrow to investigate the enemy's situation." Deng Zilong once again assigned the task of investigation.

Intelligence work, Deng Zilong, who is sitting in the pond, is very good at it. This information will be reported to Shan, the commander-in-chief Zhang Yuanxun, by merchant ship to Guangzhou every month.

In the early morning of the next day, Deng Zilong set out for Yingbao. The walls of this stone castle were made entirely of stone and were more than ten miles in circumference. The walls were about three feet high and three feet wide at the bottom. It is not suitable for climbing, and it can even be said to be insurmountable.

Because all the city walls here are irregular, not square, but uneven. Every other section, there will be a protruding city tower, and there is a mortar on the tower with cannons inside.

Under the city wall and above the moat, there is a circle of female walls, no more than one foot high, connected to the city wall, forming a platform about two feet wide.

The moat is three feet deep and wide, and outside the moat, there are gentle slopes. When soldiers charge, these gentle slopes will slow down and are completely within the shooting perspective of artillery, firecrackers, and bows and arrows. Down.

The camp is completely connected to the ocean and has two water gates, which are the entrances to supplies.

Soliman, the surviving king of Luzon, had no choice but to take this castle. Deng Zilong looked at this fort and was at a loss what to say. As long as this turtle shell can last for a period of time, he can get supplies, which is very useful for sieges. That's extremely bad news.

Through the city gate, you can see the completely stone roads in the city, the towering cathedral, the huge square and the city hall at the end of the square.

After Deng Zilong made a circle, he began to explore the inside of the castle. When Deng Zilong explored the enemy's camp, he did not climb over the wall, swim through the water gate, hide under the vehicle transporting vegetables to the camp, or carry The person broke in forcefully, but walked in with great arrogance.

He walked right in!

Manila is a city with prosperous trade. As long as you have money here, you can buy everything, including passes.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty Palace took advantage of their power to let literati and poets disguise themselves as various identities and enter the palace to see the residence of the emperor. The same is true for this camp. As long as there is money, they can also disguise themselves as anything. Identity, inside is like exploring into an uninhabited land.

Deng Zilong has never been a rigid person. He spent some money, put on a curtain hat, almost covered himself up, and walked into this mysterious camp as a Nestorian believer. middle.

He also went to the cathedral to pray devoutly. As for how respectful he was, only Deng Zilong himself knew.

After Deng Zilong finished the service, he began to explore. The streets here are not very wide. Most of them are two-story and three-story buildings. The first floor is too damp and not suitable for living, and the houses are scattered. Beautiful red tiles and white walls.

Deng Zilong’s investigation lasted for more than two months. Even under the influence of money, the Ming Dynasty counselor Deng Zilong met the red-haired commander-in-chief Gaudi, Le Bisari and other senior officials. Officer Deng Zilong, as a big businessman, was even invited by the commander-in-chief to the city hall to find out.

In June of the second year of Wanli, Deng Zilong said goodbye to the commander-in-chief Gaudí and Le Bisali, and reluctantly said goodbye to the red-haired beauty Luo Lian whom he had just met this month, and embarked on the road back home.

Deng Zilong did not have any relationship with Luo Lian, mainly because this woman did not take a shower.

It is really difficult for Deng Zilong to understand why these red-haired tribesmen, who are unique in city construction, slavery, trade, culture, etc., just refuse to take a bath and look extremely dignified. If a beauty doesn't take a bath, there will be an unpleasant smell if you get closer, and you can even see lice crawling back and forth.

This is hard for Deng Zilong to accept!

Although this beauty repeatedly hinted that Deng Zilong could go further.

Deng Zilong spent more than ten days on his return voyage, organized all the intelligence about Manila into categories, verified it several times, compiled it into a volume, and finally got a defense map of Manila.

When Deng Zilong returned to Nan'ao Island, he saw the Ming Dynasty's Big Dipper flag hanging on Nan'ao Island and knew that the recruitment matter was over.

When he came ashore, he only saw Lin Afeng, but not the other two heads.

"Bu Tang is also on the island. He came yesterday and will leave tomorrow. General Deng Shen, please come with me." Lin Afeng and Liang Shouyu greeted Deng Zilong.

Deng Zilong was still thinking about things in Luzon and Manila, and asked one after another: "Where are the other two heads of family?"

"They were killed by me." Lin. Afeng said with a slight embarrassment and helplessness: "They always feel that I have chosen the wrong path. They think that we accepted the imperial court's appeasement. It was an apparent appeasement, but it was just for the sake of simpler bandits. It was a conspiracy. Then The two of them gathered some people and wanted to kill me and conquer Manila immediately."

"Then they were killed by me. They didn't understand that there seemed to be two roads in front of us, but in fact. There is only one. The Hongmaofan in Manila is actually very powerful. We are just pirates. It is difficult to say that we can defeat the Hongmaofan. Going south is just a desperate attempt."

"The court is willing to recruit them, so it is better. Only by accepting the imperial court's favor and leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade can we really capture Manila."

Water Margin is very popular, and Lin Afeng is regarded as Song Jiang who is drowning in Liangshan, the guy who surrendered, which is not popular.

“You are very smart.” Deng Zilong quite agreed with Lin Afeng’s idea.

Lin Afeng walked all the way through the water village. Although it has only been three short months, the place has changed its appearance. The rotting corpses on the roadside have disappeared, and the skinny and skinny pirates have disappeared. We finally had some energy, and the water village on Nan'ao Island had a completely new look.

Yin Zhengmao came here for an inspection. The recruitment was completely handled by the commander-in-chief Zhang Yuanxun. It took three months to take care of it before Yin Zhengmao was invited over.

Yin Zhengmao's visit to Nan'ao Island was an attitude and a promise to recruit people.

Local officials, powerful men, Japanese pirates, red-haired fans, and desperadoes in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions all recognized Yin Zhengmao. His credibility was extremely strong. If he said that he wanted to destroy the Japanese pirates, he would never stay. A mess, if you say you have to tear down the door and move the bed, you will never leave a threshold.

Yin Zhengmao, whose reputation is firm, went to Nan'ao Island, which calmed the hearts of these former pirates.

Yin Zhengmao also had something to say. The training of troops on Nan'ao Island was to conquer Manila. Only by making extraordinary achievements can he atone for his sins. If he could not conquer, then everything would be over. I don't think I can get out easily. Deng Zilong reported in detail what he saw and heard in Manila from beginning to end.

Deng Zilong concluded: "This castle seems to be insurmountable. From a military point of view, its defense is impeccable."

Yin Zhengmao smiled and said: "Is there any city in the world that is unconquerable and impeccable?"

"No." Zhang Yuanxun said with a smile: "I have thought of at least nine ways to kill the red in the city in a short period of time." Mao Fan, how can there be an invincible city in front of artillery? "

Zhang Yuanxun was not joking when he said this. He concluded based on many years of war experience that over the years, Japanese pirates It's not that the cities of the Ming Dynasty have never been captured. Before the emergence of artillery, it was indeed difficult to attack cities. The red-haired Fans built strong castles and fortresses. This approach could only bully the Fanyi who did not have artillery.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand military pay." Yin Zhengmao looked at Deng Zilong and said with a smile: "We have gathered it all. General Deng Shen will not be able to tear down the door and move the bed."

Deng Zilong Po Wei said worriedly: "There are also people among the powerful who exchange their wealth with Hongmao Fan. I also saw merchants from the Ming Dynasty in Manila."

"At the Manila port, there are thirty to four people almost every day. Ten Ming two-masted sailing ships arrived in Manila. Once the news that we are going to attack Manila is known to the powerful family, the Hongmao Fan will also know it. "

Yin Zhengmao said with a smile: "This is where I am. The reason is that this is an island and it is easier to keep secrets."

"The department is thoughtful." Hearing this, Deng Zilong immediately understood that Yin Zhengmao was guarding against those powerful people!

That’s why they had to train these pirates on the island and raise military salary, but they didn’t tell Quan Hao where they were going to quell the Japanese.

Zhang Yuanxun said with a strange expression: "Most powerful people believe that they said in their congratulations that the ministry was corrupt and that the ministry was retaliating, so they asked for 350,000 taels of silver. This is indeed the case. After all, even the bed was moved this time, so the fundraising for the army went smoothly this time. ”

"Huh? Haha." Deng Zilong was stunned for a moment. He could only say that the powerful people were really afraid of Yin Zhengmao.

For a time, the entire Juxian Hall was filled with an air of joy.

Yin Zhengmao returned to Guangzhou the next day. After formulating a battle plan with Zhang Yuanxun, he quickly sent him back to the capital via the post road. They planned to launch an attack on Manila in mid-August, because at that time, The large sailing ship loaded with cargo left the port when the Manila Red Mao Fan was at its weakest.

In early July, the Ministry of War received the Tang Bao, which was sent into the palace from Zuoshun Gate. After Zhu Yijun practiced martial arts, he saw Yin Zhengmao's Tang Bao.

In the Tang Bao, Yin Zhengmao still did not explain the reason for his corruption. Raising soldiers to respect themselves is one thing in private, but it is another thing to do it in public.

Zhu Yijun put away the newspaper, looked at Feng Bao and said worriedly: "Feng Daban, is Tishuai's illness better? Can you get up and walk?"

"Tishuai It was a recurrence of an old injury. He and Duke Cheng were both injured when they were guarding the capital. Once an old injury relapses at this age... Doctor Chen has tried his best. Tishuai became ill in April, and it has been delayed until now, just these few days. Feng Bao said with a sad expression.

“Have you not found the miracle doctor Li Shizhen yet?” Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.

Feng Bao bowed his head and said: "Already on the way to Beijing."

Zhu Yijun held the Tang newspaper, stood in the martial arts room, took a deep breath, showed a forced smile and said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. I will take my training partner to see Tishuai in a while."

Zhu Yijun changed his clothes, took the Tang newspaper, and headed towards the Duke Cheng's mansion.

The sparring partners did not come in. They came as disciples to see Zhu Xixiao off.

Chen Shigong's medical skills have improved during the treatment, but the series of complications caused by the recurrence of old injuries still make Zhu Xixiao extremely painful. From April onwards, when the seasons changed, Zhu Xixiao occasionally caught wind and cold, and became ill. Soon, one of his arms could no longer be used properly, and within three days, Zhu Xixiao could no longer practice Taoism.

In the face of illness, death is a kind of relief.

"Tishuai, I'm here to see you." Zhu Yijun walked in and saw Zhu Xixiao leaning on the couch and walking over.

Zhu Xixiao’s face is as golden as paper, with a deathly yellow-green color appearing across the skin. It seems that every breath he takes is signaling the countdown to death, as if the line between yin and yang The line no longer exists, it has been crossed.

Zhu Xixiao wanted to salute, but remembered that he could no longer walk on the ground, so he said weakly: "Your Majesty."

"This is the "Six Strategies for Preparing the Border" written by me over the years. I have never served on the border. This memorial is just rhetoric, and I will not let your majesty laugh."

Zhu Xixiao pointed to a box, inside was a memorial with six strategies for preparing the border. He was just from the north. Ti Shuai of the Zhenfu Division did not know much about border affairs. He just wanted to say that he, like his brother Zhu Xizhong, was worried about state affairs, but his ability was limited and he could not do more.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Li Shizhen has entered Beijing and will be here soon!" Zhang Hong hurried in from outside, panting heavily but still finishing his words quickly.

After a while, Li Shizhen, who had some gray hair, was energetic and dressed as a doctor, hurried in with a medical box on his arm.

"Don't be too polite, quickly diagnose and treat Tishuai." Zhu Yijun didn't let Li Shizhen salute, he wanted to see the doctor first, it was a matter of life and death!

Li Shizhen put down the medical kit and communicated with Chen Shigong, and then felt Zhu Xixiao's pulse. With everyone's expectant eyes, Li Shizhen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people are incompetent, and Tishuai is already in trouble. Doctor, Doctor Chen is already a miracle doctor for being able to wait until now."

"Oh." Zhu Yijun said in a daze, "Oh, I understand."

"Your Majesty, sir. I have to leave. I can’t take too much care of Your Majesty’s martial arts training. I actually have no talent or ability. It’s just that I happened to be Tishuai and became His Majesty’s martial arts teacher. If there is anything that I can’t worry about, it’s I don’t see the day when the Ming Dynasty’s army will shine again.” Zhu Xixiao smiled, it was already very difficult to say this.

Zhu Yijun took the memorial and said quite accurately: "Come on, Yin Zhengmao has come from the extreme south to report. The memorial has a very detailed plan for launching troops against Luzon. The Northern Captives are powerful, and the Hongmao Fan is also No need to give in, I think Yin Zhengmao and the others can win. Tishuai will wait and see.” With a relaxed expression and a smile on his face, he said: "Very good."

"He robbed many powerful people in Ji Nan and moved their beds away. Ji Nan Jinshen There are complaints..." Zhu Yijun has been standing in front of Zhu Xixiao's bed, chattering about the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian began to implement a compilation method under the examination method, and the Ming Dynasty was booming.

Zhu Yijun kept saying, but Zhu Xixiao had no reaction at all. Tishuai, who captured Wang Jinglong with Zhang Hong in the case of assassinating the king, and his martial arts master, still failed in the end. Can withstand the ruthlessness of time.

Zhang Hong finally couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Tishuai has left. Tishuai has no unfulfilled wishes."

Zhu Yijun stopped and said: "I know, let the Ministry of Rites prepare a plan Give me a posthumous title."

The little emperor restrained his emotions and repeatedly told himself that birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. He turned to Li Shizhen and said: "Mr. Li has worked hard all the way, so I will rest for a few days before he can be relieved. "Let's take a seat in the courtyard."

"The grassroots received the order," Li Shizhen said quickly.

Zhu Yijun left the Chengguo Palace. He suddenly stood still and looked at the signboard of 'Jingyi Garden' for a long time. King Zhu Xizhong of Dingxiang liked flowers and plants. After Zhu Xizhong left, Zhu Xixiao has been tidying up the garden. , the little emperor heard Zhu Xixiao say it several times.

Not long after the garden was tidied up, during the Jiajing period, two brothers, Zhu Xizhong and Zhu Xixiao, who were both noble and noble, passed away one after another.

"Let the Ministry of Rites give the posthumous title to the official." Zhu Yijun withdrew his gaze and said to Feng Bao.

Zhu Xixiao, the Crown Prince and Tutor of the State of Zhu, in charge of the Jinyi Guards, and the Left Governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, fell ill in April of the second year of Wanli and died in June. He was given the posthumous title of Zhongxi as an official Taifu. The emperor mourned and gave him food, linen, gold coins, treasures, etc. He stayed away from court for a day and ordered the Ministry of Rites and other officials to organize the funeral.

Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, wrote the Shinto inscription, Tan Lunzheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Zhigao, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, covered it with seals, which are extremely sad and honorable.

After quitting the government for a day, the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic machine resumed operation.

On the seventh day of July, the sun was shining brightly and hot. After Zhu Yijun and other courtiers greeted him, he said: "I am very sad that Tishuai died of illness. There is a vacancy for Tishuai in Fusi, Beizhen. I have appointed Zhao Mengyou as Tishuai and the Jinyi Guard in charge of the capital. "Commander."

Zhao Mengyou was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing reign, and was a popular candidate for Tishuai. Zhao Mengyou's son Zhao Zhenyuan was a Xunwei and served as a sparring partner for the young emperor in the palace.

This appointment is quite surprising. Almost everyone believed that Luo Bingliang, who had been confiscating homes everywhere in Nanya, would be in charge of the Jinyi Guards and the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. However, His Majesty arranged for Zhao Mengyou to take over. Palm.

Furthermore, this personnel appointment did not pass the court discussion or the cabinet ministers. It was an imperial decree from the palace.

The courtiers looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was standing in the middle. His Majesty has not gone through the cabinet consultation. How does Yuan Fu view this appointment?

Moreover, Zhao Mengyou and Zhang Juzheng actually had an old grudge. It’s a long story for a child to have no mother. Zhao Mengyou’s brother Zhao Mengxiang had committed a crime. Zhao Mengyou found Qi Jiguang’s route and appealed to the Quanchu Guild Hall to ask Zhang Juzheng for help.

But Zhang Juzheng did not help, and Zhao Mengxiang was deprived of his honor and official position as a military examiner, which was considered a bridge.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said. He did not question Tiqi's appointment or dismissal, nor did he exercise the power of the cabinet to refute His Majesty's imperial edict.

Officials, you look at me, I look at you, and I have no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, came out of the queue and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, does this mean anything? Isn’t it appropriate? When I heard that Zhao Qianhu was handling the case, he was cunning, good at seducing people, and was corrupt, so he was not suitable for such an important position. "

Zhang Han is really not opposed to Zhao Mengyou's appointment as a member of Zhang Juzheng's party, but from the perspective of the official minister, he believes that Zhao Mengyou cannot serve and Zhao Mengyou has a bad reputation. This bad reputation is mainly concentrated in three aspects. The first is fraud, the second is corruption, and the third is conspiracy. He is incomparable to Zhu Xixiao, let alone Lu Bing.

Being the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Han did not accomplish anything, but he really knew that the position of Tishuai was not easy to fill. Beizhen Fusi, who was sandwiched between the inner court and the outer court, had to consider everything carefully and do everything. Everyone must be careful, and Zhao Mengyou is not a qualified candidate.

Zhang Han bowed his head and said: "If we talk about virtuous people, I recommend Luo Bingliang to be sentenced to death."

Luo Bingliang was doing the job of confiscating homes in Nanya. Zhang Han didn't have a crooked butt. But I feel that Luo Bingliang is better than Zhao Mengyou in all aspects. After all, Luo Bingliang's son Luo Sigong fights with the young emperor every day. Jane is in the emperor's heart, and the holy family is prosperous. However, Luo Bingliang has always been cautious in handling cases. He handled the Gu family's house raiding case, which is called A clean and neat one, leaving no further trouble.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Luo Bingliang is in Nanya, and Nanya's affairs will be inseparable from him in a few years."

Zhu Yijun naturally stood under the banner of imperial power. A small test of power, and it is true that no one is available. There are two candidates, and Luo Bingliang is of course the best candidate. But for Nanya, Luo Bingliang is needed. Luo Bingliang is not in Nanya, and those powerful people may not be able to decide. What kind of trouble is going to happen?

"Your Majesty handled things well." Zhang Han thought about it for a while, but he couldn't seek perfection in everything and stop giving advice.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked: "What do you think, sir?"

"I think it is good." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said, agreeing with His Majesty the Emperor's handling. Zhao Mengyou's past reputation is It's a bit bad, but you can't always look at people with the same old eyes. When serving in the capital, Zhang Juzheng was able to keep his mouth shut. This was the core of imperial power.

"Then let's discuss it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial and said with a complex expression: "Wu Zhongxing, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, impeached the chief minister and moved him to live with his parents, and adopted his father to Beijing."

Asking for a monthly ticket, ow! ! ! ! ! !
