Chapter 242 Zhang Juzheng and Ding are worried about returning to power, and Wang Chonggu is worried about fleeing
In the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, there was a movement to exterminate Buddhism. There is a mature set of process operations and experience on how to eliminate the influence of religion, or this This experience, this set of experiences, can be summed up as secularization.
A secularization that redeems mortal souls from gods and makes the soul belong only to oneself. The most important basis of Ming Dynasty’s experience is practical thinking, similar to Li Chengliang’s request for snow in Liaodong. If it snows, you It's the Dragon King. If you don't want it to snow, you are just a clay statue. It depends on whether Mr. Li blows up or not.
The first step in the soul redemption plan is to destroy the Nagasaki Church and the standing church.
The priest, the Holy See’s Ombudsman, is also on the wanted list.
And Xu Wei wrote all this into a letter and asked the accompanying coastal defense patrol to drive a flying-wing sailboat and send it to the capital.
All coastal defense patrols are themselves boatmen, able to find their way home on the vast ocean. These white stripes in the waves are not the first time they have run this route.
The piers and abutments are not closed at night, and coastal defense inspections fly over the sea.
Xu Wei just complained about Zhang Juzheng. He actually knew that with the previous state of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to complete the move to destroy the Japanese.
There are many prerequisites for ocean warfare. Take ships as an example. The ships currently used by the Ming Dynasty are mainly flying-wing sailing ships, battleships, three-masted plywood ships and five-masted ocean-going ships. Except for the battleships, which were originally built by the Ming Dynasty, the others are all It is something that His Majesty spent countless amounts of silver to accumulate.
Zhang Juzheng saw through the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese state, and predicted that after the internal conflicts of the Japanese state gradually stabilized, the country would conquer the country, so what could he do?
The fights in the court, the discord between the monarch and his ministers, and the country's power falling off the cliff have already made this extraordinary man very anxious.
In the eyes of Xu Wei, or in the eyes of the subjects who hope for the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng is like an omnipotent god in the minds of those ignorant people, who always hope that Zhang Juzheng can do more .
Sun Keyi brought out his old skills. He built a painting boat and prepared to select some prostitutes from the Japanese country. As well as the generals of the shogunate, see the top luxury and enjoyment.
Sun Keyi is uniting the meat eaters, because these meat eaters determine the fate of most people in the Japanese country.
The route of the flying wing sailboat is very interesting, it will arrive at Jeju Island first.
The needle road map from Jeju Island to the Ming Dynasty. Before the Jeju people paid tribute, the Jeju people traveled across the ocean and came to the Ming Dynasty without even speaking. They met with the Ming emperor and paid tribute. After the emperor was very They generously dispatched ships to send these Jeju people back to Jeju Island.
Since then, there has been an additional coastal defense inspection department on Jeju Island. The Ming Dynasty has notified North Korea of this inspection department for the purpose of preventing Japanese pirates.
After departing from Jeju Island, we arrived at Incheon Port in North Korea. After replenishing supplies at Incheon Port, we set off again to Lushun and other places.
The Port of Incheon is very close to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and the King of North Korea very much approved of the completion of the Incheon Water Horse Station. In the past, the King of North Korea paid his respects to the Ming Emperor. It would have taken several months to travel by land. Taking the sea route only takes one day.
The needle of the needle map refers to the needle on the compass. After reaching a certain landmark area, it turns in a certain direction. The needle map is a sea map. Whoever owns the sea map owns the sea road. .
Three days later, Zhu Yijun received Xu Wei's letter.
The Shui Ma Station from Daming Nanya to Beiya takes fifteen days, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent dispatch also takes about ten days. Now, it is sent from Nagasaki to Daming, and from Daming to From Nagasaki's Haiyi Road, it only takes two days to get to Tianjinwei, and from Tianjinwei to Beiya, it only takes one day.
In terms of information distance, Nagasaki is now only three days away from the political center.
“Xu Wei is such a big deal!” Zhu Yijun cursed after reading the letter, saying that Xu Wei was a big deal because Ma Jin sued Xu Wei, saying that Xu Wei did not respect Mr. Yuan Fu and slandered Mr. Yuan Fu. Those words were sent back to the capital verbatim.
“I don’t feel pain in my back when I stand and talk. I don’t know what kind of situation my husband is facing. It’s already good to be able to do this. If I go further, it’s not that I can’t do it, I just can’t do it.” Zhu Yijun He said very clearly to Zhang Hong.
Zhang Juzheng is very difficult. Zhu Yijun saw Zhang Juzheng's difficulties with his own eyes. A two-hundred-year-old court needs reform. The resistance encountered in this reform is by no means as easy as imagined. As long as Zhu Yijun does not jump in Zhang Juzheng's minefield The fundamental reason why Di can do whatever he wants is that there is Zhang Juzheng in the court.
Zhu Yijun This is not nonsense.
The surrender of Emperor Jiajing is a typical example.
It is the default rule of the Jiajing Dynasty that the two dragons do not meet each other, because the two princes who met before the two dragons, Prince Aichong, The death of Prince Zhuang Jing, especially Prince Zhuang Jing, forced Emperor Jiajing to accept the strange setting that the two dragons could not meet each other, and the father and son could not meet each other.
If the two dragons continue to meet, King Yu will probably be cursed to death because of this prophecy. Drawing a villain and pricking acupuncture will not kill a person, but poisoning can.
The two dragons did not meet each other, and they probably competed for the right to cultivate the first heir.
As the Taifu, Zhang Juzheng has tried his best to ensure that Emperor Wanli grew up healthily and that the Ming Dynasty's imperial power would not be further lost.
It was more difficult for Zhang Juzheng in history, because the young emperor did not like Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng without the support of imperial power was in a difficult situation.
Zhu Yijun was not the Wanli Emperor in history. He was grateful to Zhang Juzheng for everything he had done during his time in charge of Shaoguo Xin. Of all the ministers and emperors who had held power in the past, only Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan died well.
As for whether Xu Wei wants to cooperate with the Japanese or the Western Church, Zhu Yijun doesn’t care. Xu Wei, Sun Keyi, and Ma Jin went to Nagasaki, just to find a place to stay. No matter who they cooperate with, as long as they can land After taking root, Ming's subsequent intelligence gathering work can begin as usual.
Zhu Yijun wrote a reply. In the letter, Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with Xu Wei's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng, who was the emperor's master.
At the same time, it also gave them the greatest power to do things in Nagasaki. As for whether Xu Wei would establish himself as king, and then engage in such things as arrogating the title of Song Dynasty and arrogating the king of Hui, Zhu Yijun didn't care. .
As long as silver can flow into the Ming Dynasty more smoothly, whatever trouble they do in the Japanese country will be done for the Ming Dynasty.
Giving them sufficient power is to hope that they can bring out their true qualities as businessmen and scholars, which is a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, sir, your father is seriously ill." Zhang Hong said with a solemn expression.
Zhang Juzheng’s father, Zhang Wenming, was a down-and-out scholar. Like Xu Wei, he failed in many tests. If it weren’t for Zhang Juzheng, there were many failed students like Zhang Wenming in the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Wenming had neither talent nor fame. There is no extravagant wealth. Even if you die one day, it will be just one more grave on the yellow earth.
It is precisely because Zhang Wenming’s son is Zhang Juzheng that Zhang Wenming’s serious illness has attracted worldwide attention.
Because of the death of Zhang Wenming, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial master, had to follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty and asked Ding You to take office. It was easier to be the helmsman of the empire, and it affected the entire empire.
Zhu Yijun has exhausted all means to prepare for his love, but Zhang Juzheng's own wish is to win Ding You.
After Zhang Wenming became seriously ill, Imperial Yuanfu was deeply saddened and took a long-term sick leave to stay by his father's side and serve him. However, this filial piety still could not keep Zhang Wenming's passing vitality.
"Is there nothing we can do at the Jiecuyuan?" Zhu Yijun's fingers kept tapping on the table, which meant that he was slightly hesitant or even irritable in his heart.
Zhang Hong said with a troubled expression: "Mr. Zhang is really too old. He is already seventy-three years old. He is a great medical officer in Jieju Hospital. Mr. Zhang is at the end of his life. All his internal organs are in decline. He has no medicine." It’s difficult to treat.”
“I understand.” Zhu Yijun nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.
At this time, everyone in the capital was looking at the Quanchu Guild Hall, waiting for the dying old man to pass away. Then a political change that affected the entire Ming Dynasty, surrounding the position of Yuan Fu. The strife will begin in full swing.
On May 13th, the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Wenming passed away and died in the Quanchu Guild Hall.
Zhang Juzheng, who had disappeared for more than ten days, submitted a memorial to request that he become an official. He sent his father's soul back to his hometown, fallen leaves returned to their roots, and Ding You observed his filial piety. This memorial was obviously written in extreme grief, and there was unconcealable sadness in the words. And it's very brief.
When I heard the obituary, my heart broke apart. I was unfaithful and unfilial. I was causing trouble for my father. I was so sad that I fell into a coma. I couldn't express myself. I could only cry bitterly and bleed. I begged my father to mourn. Ding You fulfilled his filial piety. I am deeply moved and deeply saddened.
A short official memorial, which contains determination and decisiveness.
The little emperor has grown up, and his wings are not full. However, the little emperor himself is a man of great determination and is strong enough. Moreover, with Qi Jiguang by his side, there will be no trouble.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced. The young emperor loved his teacher so much that he kept Zhang Wenming and his wife in the capital for a long time in the name of summoning the elders. He was very kind to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng plans to return to power.
Even if there is no wedding, the time has come to return to power.
Zhu Yijun wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting, ordering the Superintendent of Ceremonies to report it to the eunuch Li Yougong and send it to Zhang Juzheng's Quanchu Guild Hall.
Li Yougong was the eunuch who was brought out of the inner study. He came to the Quanchu Guild Hall with the imperial edict. The Quanchu Guild Hall was completely pristine. A mourning hall had been set up here, and there were also several carriages in the Quanchu Guild Hall. Qi Zheng and others packed up the things in the house. Zhang Juzheng's memorial to his official appointment was not just a talk, he really planned to leave.
The Quan Chu Guild Hall was built with funds raised by Chu people in Beijing. Zhang Juzheng planned to return the Quan Chu Guild Hall, a private residence, to the Chu party, just like when Yang Bo left, he handed over the Quan Chu Guild Hall to Ge Shouli.
Once a person loses his power, not even ghosts will come to his door.
Zhang Juzheng has been in the court for decades and has seen a lot of strife in the court. He knows that once he leaves, just like Gao Gong, he will never come back again in this life. Regardless of whether the successor Yuan Fu No matter what, he will not tolerate Zhang Juzheng's comeback, and even all kinds of things will happen.
But Zhang Juzheng still planned to leave, because under the grief, he could no longer perform his duties normally. Yuan Fu was the presiding officer of the court meeting. He had been absent for more than ten days and could not preside over the court meeting normally. He is no longer suitable to stay in Wenhua Palace.
"The imperial edict has arrived, and the Grand Tutor will accept it." Li Yougong said loudly with a raised voice. When Zhang Juzheng was supported by You Qi and walked out of the Quanchu Guild Hall and knelt down to receive the edict, Li Yougong shouted: " According to the emperor's decree, "
"I have read the report of my assistant minister and learned that my father has passed away. I have been mourning for a long time. You are so sad that you don't know how to take care of yourself! , it is more extraordinary than anything else. To personally carry out the entrustment of the late emperor, to help me grow up, to ensure peace and stability in the country, is a great loyalty that has been rare since ancient times."
"It is appropriate to give this. For my sake, I try to suppress my sorrow in order to achieve great filial piety. I am very lucky, and the world is very lucky.”
The core content of Zhu Yijun’s handwriting is two words, win the love, and the country is in charge. Gradually there is peace in my hands. This is the greatest loyalty of a minister. My husband's father is a heroic spirit. Knowing that my husband has made a contribution to the country will definitely be happy. You should put state affairs first, think of me, suppress your sorrow, and take office as soon as possible. thing.
Although this imperial edict does not explicitly say about seizing love, it has made its attitude clear. "I bow my head to accept it." Zhang Juzheng actually expected that the young emperor would seize his love, so he could only temporarily accept the imperial edict.
"The Queen Mother's decree has arrived, and the Taifu has received it." Zhang Zhongju, another eunuch in charge of Ciqing Palace, opened the decree and said: "I was shocked to hear that the Taifu's father passed away. I am deeply saddened. One can imagine the Taifu's sadness. Wanwang Taifu Fu Jie is sorry, please sort it out as soon as possible. There are still hidden worries in the country's slight recovery, and there are also dangers in the new policy. The emperor is still young, and he must blame the Taifu for his plans for the world."
"Special gift: five hundred taels of silver. Ten pieces of silk, twenty stones of white rice, two hundred pounds of sesame oil, twenty pounds of various kinds of broken incense, one hundred pairs of candles, fifty pieces of linen, for the funeral. "
Yi's decree is that the Empress Dowager Li will be buried. It was posted with Empress Dowager Chen, and the content was clearly about seizing love, and using national power, the New Deal, and the world to kidnap morality. The word "qie bla" comes from the Analects of Confucius, which means severe reproach and urgent demand.
Although the court discussions did not stop, the situation in the court immediately became strange. Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen, no matter how sad Zhang Juzheng was, asked him to return to the court immediately and continue to preside over the overall situation.
The love affair in the palace was revived, and Zhang Juzheng and Ding were not allowed to worry about keeping filial piety, and they became even more determined.
"I would like to kowtow to accept the offer." Zhang Juzheng kowtowed again and frowned. According to his estimation, the situation in the DPRK should not have reached this point.
My father is sick, and he has made a lot of arrangements. It has only been more than ten days, what trouble can happen?
"Sir, your Majesty has an oral message." The eunuch Li Yougong, the eunuch Li Yougong, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals, got out of the way and whispered to Zhang Juzheng in a low voice.
His Majesty’s oral instructions are the key, but Feng Bao, as the ancestor of the palace, whispered to Zhang Juzheng in front of the Quanchu Guild Hall in public, and was suspected of working together to evade the emperor and love power, so Zhu Yijun Only then did Li Yougong come.
And Li Yougong clearly conveyed the oral instructions to Zhang Juzheng.
"Sir, there are a lot of troubles in the court. I am a young man in Deliang. If you don't return to the court, there may be a sudden change and the New Deal will be in danger." Li Yougong made it clear about the emperor's oral instructions and the reasons for saying this. .
There has really been trouble, and Zhang Juzheng’s Zhang Party has begun to be impeached.
Liang Menglong, Liu Yingjie, Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jixun, Li Le, Wang Xiyuan, Zhang Chucheng, etc. are all on the impeachment list, and the momentum is getting louder and louder, even Tan Lun, Wang Guoguang, Wan Shihe is on the list.
The strange thing is that Wang Chonggu survived this time. No one impeached Wang Chonggu. Instead, there is a trend of reorganizing the cabinet with Wang Chonggu as the core and public opinion is brewing.
After the eunuchs left, Zhang Juzheng said to his son Zhang Siwen solemnly: "I am going to the palace."
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly entered the palace to meet the saint, and Zhu Yijun summoned him at Baoqisi Zhang Juzheng.
"This is a private house. Sir, I am in unbearable grief. I have been tired for many days. Sit down and talk. Zhang Hong, have a cup of tea." Zhu Yijun motioned to Zhang Juzheng to sit down and talk. Zhang Juzheng had aged visibly. It turns out that this is caused by fatigue. The chief medical officer of the hospital has already seen it and it is caused by excessive sadness.
Zhang Juzheng has been on the sickbed, naturally exhausted mentally and physically. When Zhang Juzheng's attention is transferred and he has been recuperating for a few days, there will be no hidden worries.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took a look at the Baoqi Si Guanghan Hall. This was his first time here. He found that the layout of this place was exactly the same as that of the Quanchu Guild Hall. Obviously Zhu Yijun liked it very much. In this style, the Guanghan Hall collapsed and was rebuilt, completely based on the Quanchu Guild Hall.
Zhu Yijun did this not only because he liked this style, but also because of safety, high walls and deep houses.
"Sir, seventy has been rare since ancient times. My father is already seventy-three. It is a time of joy and mourning, and I feel sorry for you." Zhu Yijun comforted Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng said with some surprise: "Your Majesty said that there was trouble in the court. What kind of trouble was it?"
"Wang Chonggu." Zhu Yijun said concisely and concisely: "Sir, he also expected it. After he asked for leave, , Criticisms of the New Deal and the ministers who served in the New Deal are everywhere. This kind of impeachment is not a big deal, but Wang Chonggu, who has been impeached in the past two years, has not been impeached again."
"I am worried, what is the reason? It's not that Wang Chonggu is presiding over this matter with ulterior motives."
"After Da Sikou arranged for the gangster to report, can he have a way out?" Zhang Juzheng did not think that Wang Chonggu was doing bad things inside. The 50,000-word summary of the placement of the gangsters was Wang Chonggu's petition. After all the petitions were accepted, there was no possibility for him to jump back.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "What Mr. said is true. Aren't I worried? People's hearts are apart from each other. After all, I killed his nephew. If he has a grudge against Mr. and me, that's okay. "Accident."
Just when Zhang Juzheng was about to speak, a small yellow doorman burst in from outside the door. He ran too fast, tripped on the threshold, and fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground. After crawling forward a few steps, Xiao Huangmen said in horror: "After today's court meeting, Da Sikou went to Yongding Woolen Factory as usual, left a memorial to his official duties at Yongding Woolen Factory, and then left with a seal. !"
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xiaohuangmen blankly. Wang Chonggu's reaction was really unexpected.
"Where is Wang Qian, the supervisory censor?" Zhang Juzheng asked immediately.
"Run away together!" Xiaohuangmen presented the official memorial.
The father and son went to the Yongding Woolen Factory together, and the memorial had been written long ago. As soon as Zhang Juzheng's father passed away, the two of them immediately left with some belongings and headed towards their hometown of Pucheng, and they took a fast horse delivery post.
Zhu Yijun looked at Tishuai Zhao Mengyou and said: "Excuse me, Tishuai, to catch these two people. Why did they run away before I even approved the memorial? My palace, my pagoda, Who will supervise my martial arts school, Xishan Coal Bureau, Yongding, and Yongsheng Woolen Factory?"
"How could he run away?"
Zhu Yijun actually knew Wang Chonggu's motive for running away? , in order to survive.
The restorationists in the court obviously intend to use Wang Chonggu as a banner to advocate for the ancients and oppose the New Deal.
Wang Chonggu, what is Wang Chonggu if he doesn’t worship the ancients?
Furthermore, Wang Chonggu’s entry into the cabinet has been mentioned many times. Wang Chonggu’s biggest problem is that he can really carry this banner, but he does not want to resist. After thinking about it, Wang Chonggu did it based on his desire to survive. An outrageous decision, he took his son and ran back to his hometown.
Wang Chonggu had only one son. When he was running away, the two carriages were lightly dressed and walked away as quickly as he could.
Wang Chonggu wants to run away because he doesn’t know how to deal with the situation. Whether Zhang Juzheng will become an official or not, Wang Chonggu will die if he is really the one who opposes the emperor’s master. The emperor is afraid that he will kill the nine tribes. But if he doesn't run away, the retroists will definitely find ways to put him on the fire.
Wang Chonggu dared to run because he had figured out the identity of the little emperor. The little emperor was indeed unkind, violent, and murderous, but the emperor always treated those who had contributed to the country. Being able to open up one side, for example, before Zhang Han did not get the crane cloak given by the emperor, Wang Chonggu got one.
Therefore, Wang Chonggu knew that as long as he ran back to his hometown of Pucheng before the court could react, his majesty would not pursue him.
Wang Chonggu also read the contradiction and said that underneath His Majesty’s violent face, he has a kind heart. As long as he is a human being, he will be a human being to His Majesty.
Zhu Yijun can understand Wang Chonggu's decision, but it does not mean that he agrees or approves this behavior. He left a letter of official memorial and signed it before leaving without thinking about it.
Zhao Mengyou took the order and left. No matter how fast Wang Chonggu ran, he could not run faster than Tiqi. Zhao Mengyou had this confidence. If he couldn't even do this, why would he be a hawk of the imperial court?
"It seems that he is not a big Sikou." Zhu Yijun said with great relief. Wang Chonggu's act of escaping was destined to be captured and he was also a guilty person. How to enter the guilty person? Pavilion? If you cannot enter the cabinet, you cannot carry the flag.
Wang Chonggu is a really smart man. With his strong desire to survive, he can think of such things that break the situation.
“Your Majesty, there is a general tacit understanding among carnivores. They don’t need to work hand in hand, they are in the same spirit. Therefore, there is no one who is presiding over this criticism of the New Deal. They are just aware of the direction of the wind. , we will play together." When Zhang Juzheng saw that it was not Wang Chonggu, he also showed a sad smile, somewhat relieved.
He is still teaching the little emperor that the tacit understanding between meat eaters does not need to work hand in hand. This is a universal tacit understanding. This is the most terrifying thing. This is also the reason why the emperor will rule personally in the future. The biggest difficulty faced by the New Deal is that these people need to be fed first before virtue can be spread to all people, and the poor and hardworking people can bathe in the emperor's grace.
Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "Sir, he said that it is like water flowing through ditches into the fields. It cannot flow directly from the source to the fields. Mr. also saw it. At my age, human feelings It doesn't make sense, and my ambition is not established. How can you have the heart to abandon me, abandon your family, and abandon the people of the world? "
"Your Majesty's method is also very good." Zhang Juzheng held it in for a long time. A word came out.
He clearly knew that after he left, the emperor would go on a killing spree, but there was nothing he could do. It was the basic obligation of a son of man to send his father back to his roots, and the Ming Dynasty still had His Majesty in charge of the situation.
Even if Wang Chonggu is doing something behind his back, His Majesty will eliminate Wang Chonggu mercilessly. Your Majesty has always been a decisive person.
"Your Majesty, I have said before that this court is not afraid of wrong decisions, but of repetitions. Even if it is wrong, if you make a mistake to the end and implement it to the end, it will definitely be wrong, but if you make it over and over again, The most taboo thing is that people's hearts will be separated over time, and it will be difficult to get together again. "Zhang Juzheng had explained this logic to the little emperor before.
The imperial court is not afraid of making mistakes, but is afraid of changes in the fundamental line. As long as the line is correct, some small mistakes will not cause huge negative consequences.
"Sir, don't you plan to come back?" Zhu Yijun took a long breath, looked at Zhang Juzheng, and asked in a calm but dissatisfied tone.
“I can’t come back.” Zhang Juzheng knew that after taking office this time, there would be no possibility of his return. The smile on his face was full of relief. He said with a smile: “Your Majesty, I will eventually leave. Yes, His Majesty will eventually take charge, sooner or later."
"Huh!" Zhu Yijun slammed the table, said no more, and left. This was the first time that the little emperor was so rude and direct. leave.
Zhang Juzheng watched His Majesty leave angrily, but a smile appeared on his lips. His Majesty has grown up slowly. At some point, he, Yuan Fu, has become an obstacle, so he just retreated. Okay, since ancient times, how many powerful officials have been able to return home intact? It may not be a good choice for him to use Ding You to become an official and stay away from the court.
His Majesty can handle the situation of the country, the New Deal, and the world very well. The emperor's rebellious period is coming soon. If he stays any longer, he will definitely be disgusted by people and dogs, so it is better to leave like this.
He has been able to complete his mission. He supported the court when the young country was in doubt. He educated the emperor well, and the emperor already had the air of a wise king. He also presided over the New Deal. , has made a good start in military, political, economic, cultural and other fields.
As long as His Majesty continues on this path, it will only be a matter of time before Ming Dynasty will stand on top of the world again. What else does he have to worry about? Without any unfulfilled wishes, he really planned to leave.
He stood up, shook his sleeves, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, and said in a submissive voice: "My lord, please retire."
Asking for a monthly ticket, ow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
