Wanli Xinming

Not to mention the ridiculous live drama of "entrusting his wife and presenting his son" by two "brothers" in a foreign country, the Taipusi Hutong where the cabinet minister Shen Shixing lived has long since ceased to be noisy.In Wujin's mansion, only the study room was lit.

The area of ​​this mansion is incomparable with Zhang Guogong's family which occupies half of the "Zhongxing Hutong", but compared with Liang Menglong, Pan Sheng and others who came to Beijing later, Shen Shixing, the emperor's master, still has an advantage.

Nowadays, in the inner city of the capital, the houses with the first and last five entrances belong to the top luxury houses.Because after the kings entered Beijing, the royal family must use magnificent mansions to emphasize their majesty, which caused the inner city to be overcrowded.

The ZTE Zhang Mansion in Hufang Bridge can keep its original area because the emperor moved the animals out.Shops in Xianglai Street, Weiying (Eagle Feeding) Alley, Tielan Alley and other animals that kept elephants and tigers were moved out of the inner city.

In recent years, tigers and elephants have not been required to participate in any large-scale activities.After the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over these animals, it found an open space outside Xuanwu Gate and built the "Jingshi Zoo", so that the live animals donated by the surrounding vassals had a place to go.

As long as you buy a ticket to enter the park, you can watch animals that are hard to see in ordinary times, and you can also see wonderful animal taming performances. People in the capital and foreign merchants are still happy to see it.And the animal trainers who were abolished and diverted from the original "Performance Institute" were able to continue to support their families in their new positions-except that they lost their status as employees of the royal family, nothing changed.

But changes are still happening subtly, and there are more horses in the capital—too many.The racehorses eliminated at the jockey meeting prospered the mule and horse market in the capital.Glittering golden sweat horses, tall and heroic Arabian horses, and long-distance rough horses with tense shoulders can be found everywhere.Therefore, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital all have new things to compare with-flashy carriages and tall horses.And in order to allow these beautiful carriages to travel unimpeded in the capital, the roads in various places have also been built wider and wider.

The "jockey club", which continued to work amidst the scolding, still stirred the hearts of gamblers in the capital.Even though the imperial court has specially issued admonishment edicts for this purpose and has continuously increased the taxes on the Jockey Club, "horse betting" is still the most exciting recreational activity in the capital, and the joys and sorrows that are staged at the Jockey Club every day are enough to make the hard-hearted people sigh .

Shen Shixing was not a strict person, but he hated the Jockey Club very much, and after putting down the newspaper, he scolded a few times.The person sitting in his study picked up a piece of snack, ate it with tea and said, "Mr. Yaoquan, if nothing else, I'm going to retire and go home—" There was a little dissatisfaction in his tone, and the resentment made people I can hear you clearly.

Shen Shixing lowered his head and looked at the unopened notebook on the table, as if there was a flower on it.Seeing him ignoring him, the thin-faced and long-bearded man on the other side thought to himself: "This 'reading newspaper' time is long enough, and I didn't offend you—" He stood up and bowed, "Resign, my officer."

Shen Shixing finally raised his head: "Zou Yuanbiao is your friend?"

The man stumbled when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Yaoquan has something to do, please speak up."

Shen Shixing said in a cold voice: "The big case was revealed only after it was revealed. Only ten people in the court knew about it; only ten people in Shuntian Mansion knew about it; only ten people in Daxing Wanping County knew about it, but Zou Yuanbiao knew about it a long time ago... Pass me a memorial."

"I don't know what Mr. Yaoquan is referring to, but have you come out to expose the case again? In the previous case, Liu Tai died, and the spokesperson was silent for ten years; is this case targeting Zou Yuanbiao?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Shen Shixing's mouth, and he looked up at the other party: "Jiaomen lost his composure, I said the word 'reveal', but the word 'tie' hasn't been said yet."

Shen Yiguan, known as "Jiaomen", swayed when he heard the words, and said with a dry smile: "The lower official sounds like a 'big case of exposing the post', which is a crooked attack."

Shen Shixing listened to his denial and did not argue with him.He picked up the memorial on the table, looked at Shen Yiguan with piercing eyes, and said with a sneer: "Now there are still people who come to study the method, and they are out of the realm! It's just a gunman, who can confuse anyone's eyes ?”

Shen Yiguan laughed when he heard the words, and said: "The successful examination of the law has harmed the people for a long time, Zou Yuanbiaoed the public and forgot his selfishness, and argued for the country, he has a strong character."

"I didn't say that Zou Yuanbiao was opposed to the final examination. I first said that Zou Yuanbiao submitted a memorial for the 'big case', and then said that there are still people attacking the 'examination of the final law'—you know that Zou Yuanbiao also talked about the case of exposing posts, and then The method of attacking the exam, what else does this memorial say, let Jiaomen tell it together and listen."

Shen Yiguan continued to play the rogue and said: "Mr. Yaoquan, how do I know what he wrote in the memorial written by Zou Yuanbiao. But it is quite inappropriate for Mr. to bring his memorial home from the Secretary of General Administration. Even if it is your student, You can't protect him like this. The emperor ordered repeatedly, not to use the teacher—"

"Didn't you, Shen Guan, spread the pattern on the plaque on the main room of the Zhongxing Prince's Mansion, 'You Make a Boat'?"

Unfold the memorial and read: "These animals are mad and humiliated to the king. There is a private seal of the empress dowager on the 'you make a boat'. As for the empress dowager, how is the residence. Oh, Shen Shilang, you are so good! You are in the Ministry of punishment In the past few years, I have really learned a lot of tricks!"

"Unfortunately, you are clever but you were misunderstood by your cleverness! This memorial did not enter the General Administration Department, and Zou Yuanbiao is not stupid-he even knew to show me, the teacher, before going to the memorial! I handed it in today, but it is just a common thing! What, Jiaomen Brother, do you still have to quibble?"

Shen Yiguan was silent for a while, and then he straightened up, looked directly into Shen Shixing's eyes, and said with a distinct sneer in his voice, "Hehe, I didn't write that vulgar doggerel—I don't know that my old servant Such a crooked talent. What is even more unexpected is that the servants dare to make fun of their master and master in public."

"It's just a joke during the dinner—it's two different things from exposing the post." Although Shen Shixing pretended to be calm, his tone was very soft.

"Yes. What you said is true." Shen Yiguan couldn't hide the sarcasm on his face.Then he said with a smile: "I wonder if the imperial court has caught the one who wrote the exposing post—whether it can be tortured to find out who wrote this crooked poem."

Shen Shixing is silent.

Shen Yiguan put away the contemptuous expression on his face, and his voice became hoarse: "Mr. Yaoquan, you and I are both scholars—you feel your conscience and say that the method of taking the test and the rules is a good method?!"

"From North Zhili to the Great Northwest, there are hundreds of thousands of bankrupt houses! Grain from the Northeast enters customs, and grain from Burma enters Hong Kong. Farmers are hurt by cheap grain in good years, and starved of food in bad years! Fields are abandoned, cities are overcrowded, and they all have to go to factories. Come and earn the silver of the levy!"

"Heh, you said that the peasants came to the city to pay bills and make money?" Shen Shixing had a playful smile on his face, "Now there are not many 'arguments' that the imperial court definitely takes the lead..." With the Words such as "argument", "argument", "proof" and "inference" are popular, and more and more people use these new words in non-governmental communication.

Shen Yiguan stumbled involuntarily, and he continued: "It is true that it is a good method in Jiangnan and other places... Where is there a good strategy that is universally applicable?"

"Yeah, how can there be a good way to pull the old man into the water easily? Song Jiu'er drank the yellow soup, insulted his teacher, and was killed by the old man that night. Hehe, a certain one has already performed the secret performance of apology, do you know?"

This time it was Shen Yiguan's turn to be silent.

Shen Shixing took a deep look at him, and said in a cold voice: "The poet from Juzhang Mountain said, 'Where soldiers meet in narrow alleys, kill people like grass without hearing a sound', you are my follower, and you have learned seven points. But Shen Mingchen did it for you Hu Xiangmao's veil is a major event for the country and the people—but what is the reason for your dark room conspiracy and ghostly tricks?"
