Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang didn't dare to say he was the best in the world, after all, Zhao Mengyou of the Northern Yamen was also a ruthless person, but when it came to the skill of ransacking houses, Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said he was second in the world, and no one dared to be first. Nothing else, just because he was skilled.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang's experience in ransacking houses was truly too rich!

Ransacking houses originated from the "Rites of Zhou." The "Rites of Zhou: Autumn Official" recorded: "Manage the gold and goods penalties of the scholars." Therefore, even the restoration faction had to accept that the Emperor had the power to ransack and confiscate. Since the Three Dynasties, there had been gold and goods penalties. Of course, some cheap scholars always hoped to interpret it as using gold and silver goods to redeem crimes, and then packaged it as the "crime-discussing silver system."

Regarding ransacking houses, the Great Ming Emperor had never given up his claim. Of course, he also had to bear the price, such as ransacking Zhang Juzheng's house, which didn't get much money and caused a lot of trouble.

The Great Ming's ransacking of houses, starting from the ransacking of houses by the Ming Taizu High Emperor, had to be ransacked clean, clean to the point that even the feces in the latrine had to be sold, and they almost cut the earthworms in half vertically.

Ransacking a house is divided into three steps: open the door, find the goods, and take the goods back.

These simple three steps are often extremely difficult in the first step.

Kicking open the doors of local powerful families is very difficult, because these powerful families are the existence of half the sky in the local area. If you want to ransack these powerful families, once they are operated, what you face may not be just the guards of these families, but also the people who were incited and hired, blocking the way of the officials ransacking the house.

At this time, the powerful and wealthy people who had already heard the wind and smelled the smell would begin to transfer their family property.

"Commander, knowing that they will transfer their property, why are we still so unhurried?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander raised his doubts to Commander Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang. This ransacking of the house was not swift and decisive, but slow and orderly, as if they were going to the park for an outing.

Isn't this giving people time to transfer property?

"On the first day we arrived, someone tipped off these powerful and wealthy people, telling them that the horse-faced ghost who demands life is coming. Do you believe it or not?" Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang sat on the horse, let the horse walk slowly, and asked with a smile.

The Emperor had two great ox-headed and horse-faced ghosts who demand life and wealth. The ox-headed one was the Northern Commander Zhao Mengyou, and the horse-faced one was the Southern Commander Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang. These two ghost messengers were trusted by the Emperor because their sons were sparring partners for the Emperor in the palace.

"The three classes and six rooms of the Prefecture Yamen are all servants of these powerful and wealthy people. We didn't cover up too much when we arrived. Obviously, someone knew, otherwise Wu Shiqi wouldn't have been killed on the street, wanting to destroy the evidence. What the Commander said is very true. We came out this time, and they probably heard the wind long ago. That's why the subordinate urged." The Criminal Investigation Company Commander explained why he wanted to urge.

What kind of thing is this ransacking of the house and outing?

Is the legendary horse-faced ghost only at this level?

"It's just to let them hide the money in other people's homes, otherwise how can you implicate them? Otherwise, just ransack one family and get fifty or sixty thousand silver. Is it worth the Commander running a trip in person? And is it worth telling the Emperor? Since they are at the forefront of the storm and still want to cover for the Hu family, they are obviously luxurious households of the same kind, or even in-laws, so just ransack them all together." Commander Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang explained why he was not in a hurry.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang's ransacking of houses mainly focuses on implicating others, letting these dog-rich people know the power of the court. Ransacking one family is not a skill; being able to pull out the radish and bring out the mud is the skill.

The Criminal Investigation Company Commander suddenly realized and said with great admiration, "So this is playing a long line to catch a big fish! The Commander is brilliant!"

Since hiding property is inevitable, let them hide it. Once verified, implicate them, turning one catch into dozens of catches, until they dare not hide it for their relatives.

This is a major case of rebellion designated by the Emperor. Since the Emperor said the words, "Those who speak of the Master's faults will be beheaded," attacking Zhang Juzheng is disobeying the decree, is resisting the order, is rebellion.

Without Nie Bao's life, but getting Nie Bao's disease of disobeying the decree, how can it not be cured?

Nie Bao was the Tan Sima of the court, the Grand Marshal, a public figure in the court, and a great disciple of the School of Mind. Dealing with him was naturally extremely difficult.

If Tan Lun opposed opening the sea now, the Emperor could only dismiss Tan Lun. Anything more, the current Emperor couldn't do. But Tan Lun wouldn't, which is why the Emperor was extra kind to the Grand Marshal. Except for going to the front line to fight, the Emperor could discuss anything.

"If the Hu family incites the villagers to protect themselves, how to deal with it?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander asked curiously. He wanted to learn how to ransack houses. This was the best practical teaching.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said in great detail, "Kill without mercy. Those who still don't retreat in the face of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's firelocks, hook-sickles, and long knives must be servants. Just kill them."

This time, three hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards were used, three hundred sets of iron armor, fifteen bowl-mouth firelocks, thirty "one-nest-bee" firelocks, thirty flat-barbarian firelocks, three hundred bird firelocks, one hundred and fifty cavalry firelocks, three hundred hook-sickles and Qi family army knives each, three hundred war horses, and even a six-jin steel-ball flowering-bomb field artillery was pulled. This was the Great Ming's new artillery, transported by an artillery carriage designed by General Qi, equipped with twelve flowering bombs and twenty-four solid bombs.

With such firepower, if placed in Japan, one could play as a guardian daimyo. Well-trained soldiers could even support war with war and carry knives to Kyoto.

This is Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang's confidence in ransacking houses. In the face of such equipped Embroidered Uniform Guards, would the incited and hired people really be willing to charge forward to block them?

The people are indeed easy to be incited, but for a few pecks of rice, would they hit the tip of the knife, knowing it is a fire pit, and still jump into it?

Who exactly are the people who lead the charge? It is conceivable. And the Embroidered Uniform Guard is one of the yamen that is least afraid of the crime of killing innocent people. Zhu Wan, the Governor of Zhejiang, was forced to commit suicide because he was slandered for killing innocent people, and Ling Yunyi was notorious because he liked killing.

But the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the department that does this work. This is also the reason why the Embroidered Uniform Guard is notorious. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the department used by the Emperor to do dirty work. Without this awareness, how could they enter the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the Emperor's Embroidered Uniform Guard, not the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the civil and military officials. The master of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the Emperor, and they only need to be responsible to the Emperor. The Emperor has clearly issued a decree to implicate, which is just a good opportunity to find this group of people.

"The Commander is brilliant!" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander said sincerely.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard did encounter obstacles on the way to the Hu family. Some greenwood heroes originally planned to shout, "This road was opened by me," but before the word "this" could be uttered, the scout reported that these masters must not be provoked, otherwise, if they were angered, they might just clear the bandits on the way. They also encountered villagers gathering, but the villagers seemed to be watching the fun and didn't intend to block the Embroidered Uniform Guard from ransacking the house.

In fact, how could the people not understand where their suffering came from? The evil people who bullied them every day, and the evil people far away in the sky, who exactly they hated, obviously they didn't hate the Emperor they couldn't see in their whole life. Whoever rode on the people's heads and made trouble every day, the people would hate.

Even those dog-legs of the powerful and wealthy families, after being bullied, would understand the cause of the tragedy. The court's harsh taxes were one aspect, but where was there such a serious private demand from the local government? The subject of this exploitation had always been these powerful and wealthy families.

Therefore, the Embroidered Uniform Guard successfully arrived at the Hu family's residence.

The time to kick open the Hu family's gate had matured, so the Embroidered Uniform Guard pulled the artillery to the front of the house and asked the Hu family to open the door. The Hu family could only honestly open the gate.

How to ransack the house, ransack it clean, and find all the hidden property? For the Embroidered Uniform Guard, there was also a set of extremely mature plans.

"Surround them, and starve them for ten days and a half months first. People, the most terrifying thing is hunger. People who are dizzy from hunger won't listen to any Confucian classics, and they won't even care about the feelings between father and son. Let's catch those who are running away first, and starve them while catching them. Neither side will be delayed." Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang had already arrived in front of the opened gate. If this gate could withstand a cannon, then just fire another cannon.

"What if we catch them?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander couldn't help but shiver and asked tentatively.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said very firmly, "Starve them for ten days and a half months first."

The Emperor once said: It is shameless to talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust to people who are starving. People have to eat. If they don't eat, they will be hungry.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang didn't invent any cruel torture. In fact, it wasn't necessary. The will of these people didn't need any cruel torture. Just a hunger, starving them until they were flustered, starving them until their eyes were green, starving them until their intestines were empty, and they would confess everything.

If they were starving and still refused to confess, with such perseverance, why not rebel?

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang had tried it once himself. He only drank water and was hungry for three days. He was dizzy and couldn't even stand up. Even if his own son Luo Sigong came and asked him to call him father, he would call him father. This is not a matter of will, but a matter of survival. When dizzy from hunger, how firm a belief is needed to withstand it and refuse to yield?

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang felt that he was firm enough, but he couldn't withstand three days. This group of guys, how long could they resist? No hurry, just starve them slowly. Give them a little water every day, and then eat big fish and meat in front of them, drink fine wine, and that is enough.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang stayed at the Hu family and began his performance. He was performing how to find as much property as possible, and it was an effective means and strategy.

"Commander, why can't fatter people withstand hunger?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander raised his doubts again. He found that whether the will was firm or not was related to fat and thin. Logically speaking, the thicker the fat, the more resistant to hunger, because there is more meat, so they won't be so hungry. But practice proved the opposite.

The fatter they are, the less they can withstand hunger.

"Because they eat too much." Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang explained this problem clearly.

At first, he was also confused, because he was from the military, and being from the military had a great advantage in long-distance marching. The meat would be consumed, so they would raise fat on weekdays. The fat general's belly was a good figure that every soldier envied. Raising fat was entirely to increase endurance.

But in the process of ransacking houses, the fatter people couldn't withstand hunger and confessed immediately. This was an error in the soldiers' cognition.

The reason is also very simple, that is, they eat too much. They eat too much, so they are fat. They eat fat and oil on weekdays, and when they encounter things, they really can't withstand it.

It's all meat, but there is a difference in whose body it grows on.

"So that's it!" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander suddenly realized and took notes seriously. Starving others' stomachs also has great knowledge. During the interrogation, the hunger method is the most effective, both decent and efficient.

The main thing in interrogation is repeated interrogation. If the previous words don't match the later words, starve them for another day. If one of the three people has a different confession from the others, starve them for another day. Anyway, if you can't decide, just starve them for another day. Starving for another day will add a bit of sincerity.

In this way, there will basically be no difference.

Human memory is fallible, especially the confessions of servants. Most of the time, they are hearsay. They need to be corroborated by many parties before they can be believed.

And the human evidence, physical evidence, and written evidence of instructing Wu Shiqi to impeach Zhang Juzheng and oppose the New Policies were soon gathered, and it was a complete chain of evidence.

The Hu family was restless because of Song Yiwang, the Governor, measuring land and returning it. Once they heard that there was an opportunity, they naturally wouldn't let it go. The person who instructed Wu Shiqi was naturally the Hu family, but others were not necessarily so clean. Under the confession of the Hu family, six families were ransacked and confiscated one after another. When the sixth family was ransacked, finally no one transferred property anymore, because transferring to someone else's house, others wouldn't help, fearing to avoid it.

As for burying in the pigsty, under the hunger method and interrogation method, there was nowhere to hide. Even the feces in the latrine belonged to the Emperor, and they still wanted to hide silver?

As for running away? In the years when travel permits were needed, even if they changed their names, they couldn't run far. But any main road required a travel permit, and no one dared to break into small roads. There were not only jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, and insects in the mountains, but also mountain bandits. These mountain bandits didn't dare to provoke the powerful families on weekdays, but if the powerful families were alone, wouldn't they go crazy and grab them?

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang soon made the details of the ransacking of the house and sealed the boxes.

The problem of ransacking clean had been perfectly solved, and the next step was to take the silver away, which was often the most difficult part.

"Company Commander Liu, in the past, when the Great Ming ransacked houses, it was a three-seven split." Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said to the Criminal Investigation Company Commander with a smile about the past.

The Criminal Investigation Company Commander asked in surprise, "Why only seven percent?"

"Seven percent belongs to others!" Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang glared at the Criminal Investigation Company Commander.

This three-seven split was not three for the court and seven for the Emperor.

This three-seven split was not three for the court and seven for the Emperor.

But seven percent was in the local area, and the court and the Emperor shared three percent. For example, when Xu Jie ransacked Yan Song's house, it was a three-seven split like this. There wasn't much left for the court. The court and the Emperor shared it again, and then shared some with Xu Jie. Where could there be much left?

Even so, when the Shizong Emperor left, this silver still didn't reach the Emperor's hands.

Sharing accounts is actually one of the obstacles to opening the sea. The local officials of the Great Ming also don't like opening the sea, because the local area doesn't get any real benefits. Instead, because of the construction, a large number of people have to be conscripted, delaying farming. All the benefits of opening the sea belong to the court and the Emperor, so the local area has always opposed it, and it is better to have one less thing than one more thing.

But the opening of the sea in the Wanli era was supported by local officials. Nothing else, the Emperor would feed back the customs duties sent to the capital to the local area. Although it was only about two percent of the total tax, it was enough to promote local development. After all, the shipyards and shipping commissioners were all supervised by the court, but what was promoted was the local economy.

It is indeed necessary to share accounts. You can't let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass. But if the horse eats too much night grass and is too fat to run, that's not a thing.

"Who is it for?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander broke out in a cold sweat and asked blankly.

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang mounted his horse, looked at the Hu family that had been demolished into ruins, and said with great emotion, "First, we must respect the Governor, second, we must respect the Prefect, and we must also respect the clerks who check the accounts, and finally respect the powerful and wealthy families in the local area. Otherwise, the imperial envoy who ransacks the house will never want to take a single cent."

"Still have to respect the powerful and wealthy families? Aren't we here to ransack them?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander was confused again. Why!

"It's easy to understand why we respect the Governor, Prefect, and clerks. Why respect the local powerful and wealthy families? Indeed, this family has fallen, but other families haven't. If you don't give, various strange things will happen. So leave seven percent and take the rest away." Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang first explained the reason. It wasn't that he didn't want to take it all back, it was really impossible to take it back.

Especially large assets such as fields and manors, the only ones who could take over were the local powerful families. If they weren't sold at a low price, no one would take over. This led to various local assets that couldn't be cashed out. If they couldn't be cashed out into silver, these fields and manors couldn't be taken away at all.

This is what Zhang Juzheng often mentioned: the universal tacit understanding among meat-eaters.

Therefore, the Great Ming Emperors in the past were too lazy to ransack houses, because cases that required confiscation of family property took a long time, giving enough time to buy fields, and then they became fixed assets. The final result was that nothing could be ransacked. If nothing could be ransacked, who would bother to ransack houses?

Therefore, taking it away is also a great learning.

"What about now? Do we give it or not?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander looked at the account book in his hand and asked with some anxiety. The account book had been made. If it wasn't reported truthfully, who would bear the crime of deceiving the Emperor? If it was reported truthfully, these fields and houses couldn't be taken away at all.

When the Emperor asked about the responsibility for ineffective handling, who would bear this responsibility? It became a problem. The Criminal Investigation Company Commander looked at himself. Using himself to clear old accounts seemed just right. His official rank was not low enough to bear things, but not high enough to protect himself.

Learned how to ransack houses for half a day, and the criminal turned out to be myself?

Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang looked at the sun again. The scorching sun was in the sky.

"I want to give it, but see if they are willing to take it. If they dare to reach out, Master Hai will dare to hold them. Whether to be beheaded or exiled to the border depends on how much they take." Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said happily, "Mr. Zhang actually dislikes Master Hai very much, because Master Hai is too clean. Everyone knows that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. In this officialdom, if there is no corruption at all, it cannot operate at all. Either legalize corruption, or acquiesce."

"In fact, Master Hai also acquiesces. For example, if thirty thousand taels of silver are used for water control, and three thousand taels are taken away, Master Hai doesn't have the energy to pursue it."

"Anti-corruption and tax inspection are the same, both are costly. This amount of silver, Master Hai's appearance, is really a waste of talent."

"But if thirty thousand taels of silver are crudely made, and ten thousand taels are missing just from the thickness of the red envelope, then don't blame Master Hai for being petty."

Anti-corruption requires costs, and the number of these costs is not small. In an era where a piece of wood costs one-seventh of a tael of silver, a thirty-thousand-tael account book requires at least one thousand taels of silver. This is the cost of calculating the account book and collecting information. The cost of anti-corruption and tax inspection is almost the same.

This led to the fact that for small troubles, Master Hai also had to pay attention to whether it was worth taking action.

Mathematical talents are high-cost labor in the present, and labor expenditure is a huge expense.

But thirty thousand taels of silver were crudely made, and ten thousand taels were missing just from the thickness of the red envelope, so don't blame Master Hai for being petty.

Don't hit the diligent, don't hit the lazy, just hit the one who doesn't have eyes. The court has a trend of banning corruption, so everyone should restrain themselves, keep the movement small, and you will be fine. If the wind blows, and you insist on going against the wind, that is not having eyes.

"Then if we don't give it, will these fields and houses just rot like this? Otherwise, who would buy them?" The Criminal Investigation Company Commander was confused again.

"Who said we want to sell them?! There are fields and houses, sell them? What a pity! Recruit displaced people to reclaim fields, and even building houses is saved. Distribute the fields, isn't it much more expensive than a one-time deal?" Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang said with satisfaction, "Those guest soldiers who are about to be disbanded can go here to be responsible for the planting of official fields."

"Kill many birds with one stone."

In the Wanli era, even ransacking houses can be more comfortable.

The confiscated fields and houses are no longer auctioned, but directly used as means of production. Although the payback period is long, it is stable enough. The Emperor is not a person who seeks quick success and instant benefits, and Zhang Juzheng proposed to eliminate the Japanese pirates in twenty years, and he didn't know if it could be done, but the Emperor agreed.

The Emperor does not seek quick success and instant benefits, giving Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang room to deal with these assets.

The reason why Zhu Yijun treats Zhang Juzheng with courtesy, and even intends to let him be the "Usurper of the Ming" for fun, is because the policies he promoted are actually based on Zhang Juzheng's policies. It is Zhang Juzheng who laid the foundation, so Zhu Yijun can do this.

Zhang Juzheng proposed the strategy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, so the court had a group of people who could be used. Some of these guest soldiers were weak, some were ill, and some were injured. They might not be able to keep up with the pace on the battlefield, but they were enough to be local clerks.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng did not strengthen the army, so Zhu Yijun could only, like the previous examples, sell them at a low price, take a little bit of the proceeds, and finally end up with the notoriety of gathering wealth.

Now there is no need to sell at a low price. Ransacking houses, from now on, there is no need to look at the faces of the local powerful and wealthy families.

Commander Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang sent all the criminals to Ningguo Prefecture, sent Chen Zhuang and the seven old Hu family members to the hydrofoil sailboat, and sent them to the capital urgently. The proceeds from ransacking the house were also sent to the capital for the Emperor's inspection. If the Emperor was still not satisfied, it didn't matter. Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang just arrived in Ningguo Prefecture. In the fourteen prefectures of the Southern Yamen, Inspector Luo Bingliang Bingliang had to run through them all, and inspect taxes by the way.

When Chen Zhuang was sent to the capital, Zhu Yijun had just finished the morning court. He didn't change his clothes and went to the prison of the Northern Town Faction, looking at Chen Zhuang who was tied there with mixed feelings.

It was Chen Zhuang who fought bravely and killed the enemy regardless of his life when suppressing the Japanese pirates. It was also Chen Zhuang who was a fierce rebel who killed without blinking an eye and was a running dog for the powerful regardless of his life after being disbanded. So is Chen Zhuang a gentleman or a villain?

"Senior Grand Secretary, can I be lenient?" Zhu Yijun didn't summon him, and he didn't have any compassion for Chen Zhuang, but was showing his attitude of strengthening martial arts.

Wang Chonggu was the Minister of Justice. Hearing the Emperor ask this, he was immediately covered in sweat. Should he let the Emperor be lenient or not?

"The Emperor is wise and brilliant, I dare not speak." Wang Chonggu chose to express his position, the expression method of the clay-sculpted Cabinet. The Emperor says nothing is opposed. You, Zhang Juzheng, taught such a treacherous and eloquent little Emperor, and you ran to Mount Xishan to hide in leisure, leaving the difficult problem of blaming Chen Shan to him, Wang Chonggu.

The Emperor is right, that is Wang Chonggu's attitude.

"Then don't behead him in public, grant him to hang himself, it's considered decent." Zhu Yijun always felt that Xu Jie had a responsibility for Chen Zhuang becoming like this. How many Chen Zhuangs appeared after Hu Zongxian died in prison and the guest soldiers were disbanded?

Zhu Yijun didn't sympathize with Chen Zhuang's punishment. He deserved to die. He deserved to die for the blood of innocent people on his hands. But Chen Zhuang deserved to die, and Xu Jie also deserved to die.

With Zhang Juzheng in the court, Zhu Yijun had to worry about Zhang Juzheng's reputation and couldn't do everything.

But Zhang Juzheng had left the court, so Xu Jie's death date had arrived.

"The Emperor is wise!" Wang Chonggu sang praises loudly. Beheading in public and hanging oneself are both death, not violating the Great Ming law, but this way of death, obviously hanging oneself is a bit decent. This is the decency that Chen Zhuang, this fierce rebel, once built for the Great Ming.

Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Zhuang's figure, and Chen Zhuang looked at the floor of the prison with dull eyes, stupidly, playing with a blade of grass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, or thinking nothing at all.

"At that time, the Master said that guest soldiers are difficult to settle, so the disposal of the guest soldiers under Yin Butang caused a lot of discussion in the court. This disposal of guest soldiers is indeed a matter that needs extra attention." Zhu Yijun talked about the old things. Zhang Juzheng was truly earnest. This guest soldier is a double-edged sword. It can win, but it is also easy to hurt oneself, and it is easy to have problems.

The guest soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi finally went to Luzon, and they were still guest soldiers. If you are a guest in a foreign land, what are you if not a guest? The court still failed these soldiers who fought for the country, but this was the best result. When Yin Zhengmao went to sea, it was through the game of the court. Fortunately, the result was not bad.

"In fact, it is also excellent for guest soldiers to go to the official factory to maintain law and order. When soldiers get old, they also have a place to go." Wang Chonggu secretly promoted his own placement of displaced people. The key is that his promotion was not a joke. A place with more than ten thousand people in the official factory and tens of thousands of craftsmen and families nearby indeed needed these old guest soldiers to continue to maintain law and order.

"What the Senior Grand Secretary said is reasonable, excellent." Zhu Yijun was still very satisfied with Wang Chonggu. He was the one who overstepped his authority, and now he is the one who is loyal to the monarch, although he was a bit forced.

"I heard that the Yicheng Earl's Mansion has been very lively recently, and people keep visiting?" Zhu Yijun turned and left the prison. He didn't talk to Chen Zhuang, but talked about an interesting thing. When Zhang Juzheng left the court, the officials in the capital all ran to congratulate Wang Chonggu who was released from prison, and few people went to see Zhang Juzheng off.

Now everyone is looking for Zhang Juzheng to come out of the mountain. If they don't invite the old ancestor Juzheng out of the mountain, the little Emperor really can't hold anyone, and there is no one to blame Chen Shan, and Hai Rui even clapped his hands and cheered.

Taking this Evil Book case as an example, it involved Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng would only choose to smooth things over, but the Emperor would choose to implicate many people. This is the difference. Who let the child's hands be so heavy?

The court officials who came back to their senses really went to invite Zhang Juzheng.

"They were all blocked back. Mr. Zhang didn't see anyone." Wang Chonggu said very firmly, and as he spoke, he brought a smile. They were truly a group of dogs who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

After Wang Chonggu was released from prison, when he had a friendly exchange with his son Wang Qian, he said that this group of court officials were dogs. He still holds this attitude now.

"Hahaha! I can't even see him, and they still want to see him? Hahaha!" Zhu Yijun put his hands on his hips and laughed. Zhang Juzheng was completely closing his door to guests in Mount Xishan, not only refusing to see the Emperor, but also not seeing any of the court officials.

His returning to power was not a joke, let alone just for show.

Some things are like this. Since you have made a choice, you must do it to the end. Zhang Juzheng always told his Emperor, "Your Majesty, when doing things, you must expect to have an end, so that you can really get things done. Even if it is wrong, you must hold on firmly. When doing things, correct mistakes bit by bit and achieve the goal."

Giving up halfway means achieving nothing. This is the truth Zhang Juzheng taught Zhu Yijun about being a person.

"Mr. is really heartless, he won't even see me." Zhu Yijun flicked his hands, also a bit annoyed and helpless.

The Wanli Emperor did indeed persist to the end. After not holding court for thirteen years in the 13th year of Wanli, he persisted until the day he left, holding on firmly to the extreme. Ask for monthly tickets, Aowu!!!!!!!
