Chapter 1034: Everything in the Wanli Reform Grew Out of the Fields

~26 min read 5,137 words

Shen Shixing and Gao Qiyu started fighting. Although Zhu Yijun liked to watch the fun, the movement was a bit big.

The students and subordinates of both sides had already begun to impeach each other, and the court officials were also taking sides in this round of confrontation. If they didn't stop it, if they continued to make trouble, it would be party strife.

Shen Shixing was right. The official factories of the Great Ming were public property. It was inevitable that some ambitious people would try every means to get them into their own hands. How to prevent it? The loyalty screening that Shen Shixing came up with was to prevent it before it happened.

Wang Chonggu did not turn the Yong-Sheng and Yong-Ding Woolen Mills in the capital, the Xishan Coal Bureau, and the Yongping Coal and Steel Plant into his own private property, and even gave all his silver to His Majesty, letting His Majesty distribute the dividends as the "Chonggu Progress Award."

Gao Qiyu believed that the year-end audit of the official factories every year was already fully capable of completing the inspection of the official factories. Doing so was very unnecessary. Extending political games into material production would interfere with production and delay the Great Ming's revival.

Like war, people can only decide how to start a war, but cannot predict what kind of ending the war will end with.

The scale, intensity, and scope of political struggle are not controlled by people. If it expands to official factories, the general managers, meeting managers, and acting managers of these official factories will definitely expand the scope of the struggle downwards. The intensifying struggle will destroy the Great Ming.

This is by no means alarmist. Both the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties died in party strife. The Jin and Mongols had already fought to the door, and the party strife in the court was still continuing, never dying until the end.

Not expanding the dog-fighting between bureaucrats to the scope outside the bureaucrats is political morality and cultivation. Once it expands outside the bureaucrats, it is a double-fold means.

"Stop!" Zhu Yijun knocked on the small bell in his hand forcefully, and the clanging sound filled the entire Imperial Study Room.

The Great Ming Emperor took decisive measures to stop the two from continuing to argue.

From the time Zhu Yijun was still in Songjiang Prefecture, the two had already begun a round of confrontation around whether to continue to expand the screening, arguing endlessly. Both sides had their own reasons, both sides were for the good of the Great Ming, so why were you right?

After the Emperor returned north, this confrontation did not disappear because of the meeting, but intensified.

Neither side would give in. Both were for the good of the Great Ming, so why were you right?

"This matter, I have been thinking about it since I was in Songjiang Prefecture. Stop at the Great Academy." Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and said: "Cabinet Elder Shen, the Struggle Volume explains it very clearly. The biggest problem with struggle is that it is uncontrollable. If you continue to expand the scope, let alone Cabinet Elder Shen, even the teacher, even I, cannot stop it."

Struggle is a good means, but the only problem is that as the scale, scope, and intensity of the struggle increase, the means of the parties involved in the struggle will become more and more extreme, eventually completely out of control.

How to prevent the struggle from getting out of control is something that has been explained thoroughly in the Struggle Volume.

Screening the loyalty of the Great Academy is also highly recognized by Gao Qiyu, because it does not involve production, does not concern people's livelihood, and will not shake the foundation of the country and society. But expanding it to official factories is not as simple as trouble.

"I obey the decree." Shen Shixing heard His Majesty's decision and exhaled a turbid breath forcefully, accepting the result of his defeat.

Losing to Gao Qiyu, Shen Shixing was a bit unwilling, but His Majesty had already issued a clear decree. If he continued, it would be not respecting the Emperor's majesty and power, and disobeying the holy will.

Shen Shixing had the confidence to control the scope of the big screening within the official factory bureaucrats. He was in the Ministry of Personnel and had followed Zhang Juzheng for many years. He had the confidence to control the scope of the struggle, but His Majesty and the ministers seemed not to trust that he had this ability.

If Zhang Juzheng were still in the court and still the Chief Grand Secretary, would His Majesty be willing to trust him?

"His Majesty is holy and bright." Gao Qiyu bowed again. He remembered before, when he made a mistake and knelt outside the Xuanwu Gate for several days before seeing the Emperor who had returned to the palace after farming. The young Emperor and the current Emperor were exactly the same, always very rationally making various decisions.

This kind of rationality that is not swayed by emotions is the foundation of all holy and bright decisions.

Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing's expression and knew that he was not convinced. He felt that Zhang Juzheng was still there, so this matter could be handled.

Zhu Yijun looked at the Anti-Corruption Commander Chen Mo. Chen Mo immediately understood what His Majesty meant and quietly retreated, going to the Yicheng Hou Fu. Chen Mo didn't ask Zhang Juzheng to do anything; he just needed to tell Zhang Juzheng what happened in the Imperial Study Room, and Zhang Juzheng would naturally know what to do.

Zhu Yijun discussed state affairs with Shen Shixing and Gao Qiyu for a long time before letting the two leave.

Shen Shixing and Gao Qiyu had just walked to the gate of Tonghe Palace when they saw You Shouli, whose temples were already frosted with frost.

"The teacher asks Cabinet Elder Shen to go over." You Shouli looked at Gao Qiyu before saying to Shen Shixing.

Gao Qiyu suddenly took a step forward and stopped You Shouli, asking: "This matter involves me, can I go together?"

You Shouli sighed and shook his head lightly, saying: "The teacher specifically explained, no."

"Minister Gao, you are now a minister in the court. Some words, as a family slave, I shouldn't have said. Minister Gao, you should let go of what you should let go."

The teacher-student relationship had long ended in the second year of Wanli. It was just that Gao Qiyu himself couldn't let go. He no longer needed to rely on Zhang Juzheng, the big tree, to shade him from the wind and rain. Gao Qiyu himself was already a big tree that could shade others.

Gao Qiyu was silent for a moment. His expression was a bit out of control. He smiled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, waved his hand, and left the gate of Tonghe Palace without saying a word, but his figure was still a bit desolate.

Others are not him. This is not his affectation. In the 44th year of Jiajing, he was on the gold list, but he was only a third-rank 172nd place scholar. This meant that this was it for his life, at most a fourth-rank prefect.

The Great Ming's third-rank scholar origin has a very clear promotion route: county magistrate, department vice magistrate, department magistrate, prefecture vice magistrate, prefect.

The worse the exam, the worse the county he goes to. He needs to move internally multiple times at the same level to climb to prefect, and he has to climb for a lifetime.

Fourth-rank prefect is almost the upper limit of Gao Qiyu.

Gao Qiyu didn't pass the first time. Seeing Shen Shixing, the top scholar, traveling in the capital, he didn't have any high spirits. He sought help everywhere, hoping to worship a teacher and find a noble person to change his fate.

At that time, the doors of Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng were all crowded with people, and there was never a shortage of scholars seeking refuge.

Gao Qiyu, a third-rank scholar, had no door to seek refuge. He sought several teachers in succession, but no one promoted him. Finally, he tried to submit a visiting card, but he didn't expect that he would be recruited by Zhang Juzheng, and then entered the Hanlin Academy to become a Hanlin. Three years later, he was granted the position of Hanlin Academy Editor.

This was already the treatment of the top ranking of second-rank scholars. He completed the reversal of his fate.

Later, his official career was smooth, and he was promoted quickly. At his most proud moment, he was expelled from the teacher's gate by the teacher.

Everyone has their own knot that cannot be untied. Obviously, twenty years later today, Zhang Juzheng still has no intention of forgiving him.

Let go?

Gao Qiyu stood under the yellow tiles and red walls, looked back at the direction of the Imperial Study Room, and then strode forward. He must prove that the teacher did not misread him back then.

The Yicheng Hou Fu was very close to Tonghe Palace, next to the Great General's Mansion, only five minutes away from Tonghe Palace.

When Shen Shixing arrived, Zhang Juzheng was not there. He was standing under a plane tree, checking the harvest of potatoes, and said with a full face of smiles: "Ru Mo is here?"

"I have seen the teacher." Shen Shixing hurriedly bowed to pay his respects.

"You and I don't need to be so polite." Zhang Juzheng didn't have the airs of a scholar-official at all. He put the hoe on the ground, held a potato the size of half a fist, and said with a smile: "This is the 'Ningfeng No. 4' newly created by Xu Zhenming, a late-maturing potato variety."

"It is the potato variety cultivated in Danning Guard suitable for planting in Liaodong."

"Plant 3,500 plants per *mu*, and one *mu* can produce 3,000 catties per year. The dry weight is also 600 catties. This is five *shi* of dry food. If you use water fertilizer and refined salt, one *mu* can hit 4,000 catties, and more can hit 6,000 catties, which is seven to ten *shi* of dry food per *mu*."

"Incredible, incredible."

Zhang Juzheng held the potato in his hand, laughing and unable to close his mouth. He looked at Shen Shixing and continued: "The most proud thing in my life is that I have accepted several students. Xu Zhenming is one, you are one, Xiong Tingbi is one, and Gao Qiyu can also be counted as one. They are all very promising."

"Ru Mo, the court's decrees, the official factories that Wang Laoguan is doing, in fact, are not that important. The most important thing in the Wanli Reform is the word 'agriculture.' Only with food can there be everything."

Others are all empty. Without food, there is nothing. With food, there is everything.

Official factories are important, but the hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in the official factories do not engage in farming. What do they eat and drink? They come from farming. This is the most fundamental thing in the Wanli Reform.

Zhang Juzheng put down the potato and said: "Everything in the Wanli Reform grew out of the fields. There is nothing else like it."

"You want to engage in official factory screening, which is not impossible. His Majesty also supports it. No matter how big the movement in the official factory is, it is just like that. How messy can it be? But once it goes from craftsmen to farmers, it is completely out of control."

Shen Shixing wanted to speak but stopped. He thought about it carefully and said in a low voice: "If the teacher were in the court, His Majesty would definitely agree."

"Fart!" Zhang Juzheng stood up, patted the dirt on his butt, and sneered: "If I did this, His Majesty would only argue with me at the table. He would still politely call people to his front and speak calmly?"

Zhang Juzheng knew His Majesty the Emperor too well! His Majesty would only argue with him at the table. If he couldn't win the argument, he would get on the table. If he still couldn't win, he would call the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He would never be so polite.

His Majesty really got on the table. In the ninth year of Wanli, after Zhang Juzheng had hemorrhoid surgery, he recovered well. He hid it from Luo Sigong and You Shouli and got some chili peppers, which were smelled by Luo Sigong's dog nose.

That time, the Emperor was really angry. He called Zhang Juzheng to his front and had a big argument. His Majesty also said: "I can't clean up you, Zhang Juzheng, can't I clean up the people under you? If anyone offers you chili peppers again, I will hang him at the Quanchu Guild Hall to see who dares!"

Zhang Juzheng naturally knew that His Majesty was speaking in anger, but His Majesty had not vented his anger on others since he ascended the throne ten years ago. But since then, Zhang Juzheng had not eaten chili peppers with a spicy taste.

In fact, it is just that the relationship between Shen Shixing and His Majesty is not enough. Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty argued until their faces were red and their ears were red, but it didn't matter. After all, Zhang Juzheng is the Emperor's teacher. No matter how fierce the argument is, life still has to go on.

But His Majesty will not and cannot call Shen Shixing to his front and scold him, and cannot even strictly admonish him. Once Zhang Juzheng retires, the ministers in the court and His Majesty are just a simple monarch-minister relationship. They must leave more decency for each other to prevent the monarch and ministers from losing harmony.

"So, His Majesty doesn't let you do it because he is afraid that the internal strife in the official factory will expand to the farmers, understand?" Zhang Juzheng explained.

Shen Shixing frowned, full of doubts, and asked: "Official factories are official factories, how can the struggle expand to the farmers?"

"Not only will it expand to the farmers, but it will also expand to the Beijing Camp." Zhang Juzheng exclaimed, smiling and saying: "The Duke of Wencheng did it, but at that time the official factories did not have the scale they have today. Can you imagine that you, the Duke of Wencheng, didn't think of it?"

"Once the Duke of Wencheng did it, it expanded to the farmers, and then the fire almost burned to the Beijing Camp. If it really burned to the Beijing Camp, the Duke of Wencheng would not have enough heads even if he had ten thousand."

"The process of struggle expansion is complex and intricate, in short, craftsmen are not produced out of thin air, they come from farmers; soldiers are not produced out of thin air, they are selected from craftsmen and farmers."

"It was also after that time that the Duke of Wencheng realized that agriculture, industry, and military are actually one body, a collective with three types of division of labor."

When Zhang Juzheng said this, his expression was very emotional.

Wang Chonggu was a treacherous official. He had never changed this nature. He suppressed this matter until Ling Yunyi returned to the court and reformed the official factories, clearing up the old abuses of excessive human feelings, and then discovered the old case and presented it to the imperial desk.

Because it involved Wang Chonggu's posthumous name, His Majesty simply recorded the case and let it go lightly.

"The student is dull." Shen Shixing seemed to understand, but also seemed to understand nothing.

The matter is actually very simple. In the seventh year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu fiddled with the loyalty screening of the official factories, and soon it expanded from the management of the official factories to the craftsmen. Risk spillover was from the official factories to the engineering regiments.

The engineering regiments stopped repairing fast roads and spent all day engaging in screening. Soon, Wang Chonggu discovered signs of spreading from the engineering regiments to the military guard stations.

Once it spread to the military guard stations, spread to the farmers, and spread to the Beijing Camp, it was only a matter of time.

It is no problem to engage in it in the Great Academy, because they do not engage in production. No matter how you engage in it, it is just that little bit of thing. Involving production, engaging in screening, is a very dangerous behavior.

"The student understands." Shen Shixing heard about the mess Wang Chonggu made back then and wiped the sweat from his forehead with some lingering fear.

"The originator, is there no posterity?" Once this end is opened, it is opening the door to evil. At that time, whatever happens will be out of control.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng had already given enough face and did not explain the words thoroughly, but Shen Shixing understood.

Zhang Juzheng's meaning is very clear. The common people are not born to follow them.

The imperial court does the right thing, naturally it will be supported. If the imperial court does not do the right thing, after a long time, justice is in the hearts of the people, and they will naturally follow others.

As a Grand Secretary, one must never mess around. Shen Shixing is no longer an official of the Ministry of Personnel seeking refuge under Zhang Juzheng, but a Grand Secretary of the Empire.

Although Gao Qiyu didn't know so much news, he thought about what it would develop into. Obviously, Gao Qiyu's attainments in the Struggle Volume were much higher than his, so he would fight so desperately to stop it.

"You don't have to hold a grudge. What is yours will not be Gao Qiyu's." Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Shixing's face and said with a smile: "The Chief Grand Secretary is yours, no one can take it away."

"This..." Shen Shixing was slightly ashamed and said no more.

This is very unfair to Gao Qiyu. No matter how many times Gao Qiyu wins, he cannot become the Chief Grand Secretary, and he cannot even enter the Cabinet. This is not caused by his third-rank scholar origin, but by the mistake he made back then.

Just like no matter how many times Wang Chonggu wins, he can't do anything about Zhang Juzheng. The court is not a child's playhouse. Where is there so much fairness?

Gao Qiyu is a traitor of the Zhang school. If His Majesty wants to maintain the continuation of the New Policies, he will not let Gao Qiyu go further. Even if he can walk in the West Study Room now and be jokingly called a "West Study Room Grand Secretary," it is still just a joke. The name is not correct, and the words are not smooth.

As the Emperor himself, Zhu Yijun does not like Shuntian Prefecture, because when he returned in September, the haze disaster in Shuntian Prefecture had already begun. This feeling is very uncomfortable, just like plunging into mud.

When he returned to the capital, he had to wear a cotton textile mask to deal with this discomfort.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, there was an autumn rain in the capital, which swept away the haze disaster, and even the heaven and earth became much more transparent.

As memorials from all over the country arrived in the capital, it proved that the Emperor's arbitrary reduction of farmland taxes was correct, because there was a severe drought in summer, and there was indeed a heavy rain in autumn. In September, snow flurries began to fall in Suiyuan, fluttering, and the third shearing of wool this year was too late before winter arrived.

Memorials from Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Gansu, and other places indicated that this autumn rain was strangely heavy this year.

The rainfall in Jinzhou, Shaanxi, exceeded twelve inches in just two days. The rain of a whole year fell in these two days, and the erupting flood destroyed Jinzhou City, forcing it to move to the foot of Zhaotai Mountain.

In the autumn flood of the 13th year of Wanli, Jinzhou had already been destroyed by a super flood. It was also from that time that Hanzhong Prefecture began to build a new city at the foot of Zhaotai Mountain, named Xing'an Station. In the past few years, people had been continuously migrating to the new city. This flood completely destroyed the old Jinzhou.

This is the danger of autumn floods. In autumn, all things wither, and the flood carries a large amount of silt. Cities near the river will face such dangers.

The Shaanxi area had always believed that the name Jinzhou should be abolished and changed to Xing'an Prefecture, meaning prosperity and peace.

This large-scale autumn flood involved 6 provinces, 11 prefectures, and 76 counties, with a total of 3.84 million *mu* of farmland affected. The Ministry of Revenue urgently allocated 1.5 million silver to the yamen of various places for disaster relief.

Zhu Yijun issued an edict to exempt the affected areas from farmland taxes for three years to recuperate, and also issued a severe edict that no deception was allowed.

In the early years of Wanli, yamen in various places liked to use "disaster seedlings" to deal with the imperial court's tax urging. Every year, there was a large amount of tax that could not be completed, and it was exempted because of disaster reduction.

Since the Examination Law, because reporting disasters required dealing with the imperial court's review, "having disasters but not reporting" began to appear.

Typically, "if you manage it, it dies; if you let it go, it becomes chaotic." If the imperial court manages it slightly strictly, it will become rigid.

This time, the Emperor's severe edict to the local areas was actually to give the local areas a breather. The local finance was really difficult. As long as it was not too excessive, the imperial court could allow this kind of disaster exemption depending on the situation.

The imperial court's collection of farmland taxes is to make power responsible to the source. If it is directly exempted, it is equivalent to the imperial court completely abandoning the farmers.

Zhu Yijun was slightly tired, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at the autumn rain falling outside the window. The situation was much better than he thought.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters," these four words are usually used together. In fact, the Great Ming people are not very afraid of natural disasters. The common people have lived on this land for thousands of years and have left enough experience to deal with various disasters. What they fear most is man-made disasters under natural disasters, because there is no way to avoid them.

Fortunately, it was just a large-scale autumn flood natural disaster, and no man-made disaster of any scale appeared.

When Zhu Yijun was visiting Songjiang Prefecture, the imperial court investigated and punished a large number of inferior gentry.

Violating the promise of natural disasters and playing with the Emperor would be regarded as inferior gentry, and would be directly questioned by yamen in various places, ordered to return, or imprisoned for crimes.

For the hundred officials, the charge of playing with the Emperor might be heavier. After all, local officials all regarded the natural disaster promise letters signed and pressed by the gentry as New Year gifts for the Longevity Festival and presented them to the imperial desk.

The local gentry playing with the Emperor was equivalent to local officials playing with the Emperor. If the imperial censors who liked to pick bones in eggs knew about it, it would be one memorial after another impeaching them. Local officials were not ministers in the capital and could not withstand such attacks at all.

The natural disaster promise was something Zhang Juzheng engaged in when he promoted the "favor narrative" at the beginning of Wanli. At that time, the natural disaster was detected by the imperial court, and Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to ask local officials to prepare such a gift.

This gift became an important means to curb man-made disasters.

"The Great Grand Secretary has a point, and the Junior Grand Secretary also has a point. Who should I listen to?" Zhu Yijun looked at the two memorials in front of him.

The Great Grand Secretary Shen Li believed that these inferior gentry should not be severely punished, and that confiscating land and exiling them to Luzon and other places would be enough. The reason was the same as Gao Qiyu's opposition to Shen Shixing's loyalty screening in official factories: to prevent the expansion of the struggle.

The Junior Grand Secretary Gao Qiyu felt that they even dared to play with His Majesty, so what else did they dare not do? Sending them to Luzon, Jiugang, and Jinchi, these three Governor's Offices were already isolated overseas. Wasn't this increasing the centrifugal force of these overseas Governor's Offices?

Gao Qiyu's opinion was that it was better to kill them all directly. If the punishment is not heavy, there will be no majesty. If you don't kill them, how can you deter other villains? Doesn't this tell these local gentry that violating the promise does not require paying too much price?

Shen Li was right, preventing the generalization of the struggle and preventing the double-fold was important. Gao Qiyu was also right, the rebellious ministers and thieves had already jumped out themselves, and if you don't kill them, you can't deter them. How could the Great Ming survive the natural disaster?

"Reasonably speaking, the Great Grand Secretary is a Cabinet Elder and is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He should pay more attention to the Great Grand Secretary's memorial. Otherwise, in the future, this Ministry of Rites will be Gao Qiyu's decision." Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Gao Qiyu is not a traitor, but he is very enterprising."

Feng Bao's words were actually a reminder that Gao Qiyu had completely grasped the Emperor's pulse and knew the Emperor's inclination. His memorial did not hide his purpose at all, so that Shen Li, the Great Grand Secretary, was completely sidelined.

Originally, the cancellation of the court meeting, the establishment of the West Study Room walkers, and the West Study Room Grand Secretaries had already weakened the power of the Cabinet Elders. In this way, after two or three times, the actual Great Grand Secretary was Gao Qiyu.

It was really not Feng Bao putting eye drops on Gao Qiyu. Gao Qiyu's memorial itself did not hide his purpose.

"I think it is better to compromise, execute a batch of the most heinous ones, which will deter the ambitious, and will not be talked nonsense by these Ke-Dao censors, saying that it is too urgent." Feng Bao chose a compromise method: kill, only kill a part, and don't let Gao Qiyu be too proud.

Zhu Yijun thought carefully and said: "Okay, then let the Ministry of Justice know that those with blood on their hands don't need to live."

"I obey the decree." Feng Bao bowed his head to receive the order, and said with a look of hesitation: "Your Majesty, I think Li Yougong can take on a great responsibility. He has been outside for so many years, how about letting him come to Your Majesty's front to listen to orders?"

Upon hearing Feng Bao mention this matter, Zhang Hong also spoke up: "Your Majesty, Li Yougong grew up alongside Your Majesty; he is someone whose roots and character are well-known. He has repeatedly shouldered heavy responsibilities and handles matters thoroughly without ever making mistakes. It would be better to transfer him from his post as an inner official of the Capital Battalion and bring him back to the palace for service."

"Have the two of you discussed it?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and Zhang Hong and asked.

Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "Before the southern tour, Feng Da Dang had discussed it with me. Your Majesty knows me. I don't have much ability, just one loyalty."

The position of the ancestor is not something anyone can do if they want to. Zhang Hong is loyal and fierce, but his ability is insufficient. Some things are indeed not as good as Feng Bao. Only then did he rank second to the ancestor, taking care of His Majesty's water and food. Any more, it was not within Zhang Hong's ability.

Li Yougong is also very loyal, and his ability is stronger. He has supervised the army to go on expeditions many times and has been sent to Luzon, Japan, and other places many times, all of which have proven his talent.

Not to mention anything else, there are really not many eunuchs who can keep up with His Majesty and run the full twenty *li* of morning exercise.

"Feng Da Ban, you are seventy this year, are you thinking of retiring?" Zhu Yijun tapped his fingers on the table and asked.

Thinking of retiring, when things develop to the peak, they will often develop in the opposite direction. At the moment of "full but not full," choosing to retreat bravely is already a great thing.

Yang Bo chose to retreat bravely, giving himself decency and giving everyone decency. He also had a posthumous title, and his child Yang Junmin was still entrusted with heavy responsibilities.

If Yang Bo didn't retire back then and insisted on not letting Zhang Juzheng promote the Examination Law, and not letting Zhang Juzheng get the Minister of Personnel, I am afraid Yang Junmin would not be able to be an official again.

If His Majesty didn't shade him from the wind and rain, Feng Bao wouldn't even have the power to retire. He didn't have it, and Zhang Juzheng didn't have it either.

Feng Bao said with a full face of smiles: "Your Majesty, seventy is already rare, I am too busy to move, and my energy is insufficient."

The things in the Ceremonial Supervision are extremely energy-consuming, plus managing the inspection iron boxes in the palace, it is even busier. At seventy, this age, it is time to leave. If you linger, you will be hated by people.

"After leaving the palace, what do you plan to do?" Zhu Yijun asked, considering it as an agreement.

Feng Bao said with a smile: "Go to Fengyang to farm and enjoy the old age." ===== CHAPTER 1035 =====
