Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Wu Shigong was still thinking about how to control that little boy Tao Xin, but unexpectedly Tao gave the opportunity to Wu Shigong.

A few days later, the Tao family came to look for Wu Shigong again.And this time, she not only brought her son Tao Xin, but also brought a dozen other people.After Wu Shigong got his guards ready, he called them all in.

After seeing Wu Shigong, Tao Shi really played tricks again.Wu Shigong ignored her appearance, and asked Tao Shi with a sneer: Why did you come to see Wu Shigong again this time?

Unprepared, Dow chirped out why she came.

It turned out that the former thousand households also had more than a dozen soldiers.In the Ming Dynasty, it was a common practice for military officers to raise relatives by their side.Although the possibility of this thousand households fighting a war is not high, but one day, a war is indeed necessary.Therefore, Qianqian households kept these soldiers.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to fight with such a small number of personal soldiers.The main reason Qianqianhu prepares these soldiers is: in case the battle is defeated, these soldiers can escort him to escape.In line with the principle of using one's own people to rest assured, these soldiers are more or less related to Qian Qianhu.

But this time, after hearing about the military pay given by the soldiers recruited by Qianhu, especially through the people in the small town, knowing that the guards brought by Wu Shigong from the capital are paid three taels of silver every month, these former Qianhu All the soldiers of the household were jealous.

So, these soldiers all found Tao Shi, asked her and Wu Shigong to talk about it, and asked Wu Shigong to recruit them as well.It is best to have military pay like the guards of the capital.

And after that Dow received some gifts from those soldiers, he agreed without knowing it.In Dow's thinking, it was no small feat to deal with this new agent, Qianhu, with his super-powerful combat power index of 250.

So, she led her son Tao Xin and these dozen or so soldiers, and came to Wu Shigong's place excitedly.

Sure enough, when Dow made her request to Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong immediately agreed.And promised those soldiers a monthly salary of three taels of silver.

Seeing that Wu Shigong agreed, those soldiers immediately kowtowed to Wu Shigong to thank him.Tao Shi also showed a smug smile on the side.

After those soldiers finished kowtowing, Tao Shi just wanted to say goodbye and leave.Wu Shigong stopped her.

Wu Shigong opened his mouth and said to Tao Shi: "Do you know Tao Shi? In fact, I hate you very much now."

Wu Shigong's words stunned the Tao family and the soldiers of Qianqian households next to them.And that Dow's face was even more blue and purple.

Wu Shigong didn't care about the faces of these people, and continued: "It's good for you to play tricks in front of me several times. Although I'm not happy, I can't care about you as a woman. But, I'm too careless Your son is worried."

"Your son is supposed to take over the position of Qianhu in six years. But, what can I learn from being with you now? From your mothers-in-law? From your chicken belly?"

"I have decided that I must train your son to be an excellent successor of thousands of households. Therefore, I will accept your son as an apprentice now and bring him by my side to educate him personally. It is decided in this way, let Your son hasten to kowtow in front of this official."

Wu Shigong's words made Tao Shi and those soldiers dumbfounded.That Dow still wanted to argue a few words.However, just when her lips moved, Wu Shigong slapped the table and stood up, saying: "Don't toast, don't eat and eat fine wine!"

Then, Wu Shigong put his hand on the hilt of the samurai sword at his waist, and slightly pulled out the samurai sword.And hearing the movement in the room, Wu Shigong's guards were also fully armed and stood outside the room.

That Tao Xin, where has he seen such a scene.His little face turned pale, and he cried out with a "wow".

That Tao's face was also pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.Her playfulness is based on the fact that others dare not touch her as a woman.When someone really wanted her life, how could Dow not be afraid?

Seeing Tao Shi and Tao Xin's mother and son dumbfounded, Wu Shigong's face became more and more ugly, and the samurai sword in his hand became longer and longer.A clever soldier quickly pulled Tao Xin past him and shouted, "Kowtow to Master Qianhu!"

The other soldiers also reacted.They are also afraid that if the situation gets out of control today, they will also bring disaster to Chi Yu.A hero does not suffer from immediate losses.Some of them stopped Tao Shi from persuading him, some semi-forced Tao Xin to kowtow three times to Wu Shigong, and called Wu Shigong: "Master."

Hearing Tao Xin call himself "Master", Wu Shigong put the samurai sword back into the scabbard.He walked up to Tao Xin and held the hand of the little boy who was still sobbing.

Seeing that Dow was crying and looking helpless, Wu Shigong continued to curse: "Why are you crying? It's not that you took your son away, you can still visit him every day." After speaking, Wu Shigong led Tao Xin to the inner room.

Wu Shigong thought while walking: "When the Japanese samurai sword comes out, it is a panacea for dealing with women. No wonder those Japanese women are so cheap."

In the current situation that Tao Shi and Tao Xin's mother and son have no threat to Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong is not going to do anything to them.Wu Shigong is not a beast either.Therefore, Wu Shigong still wanted to educate Tao Xin well.In order to fulfill the responsibility of being a master.

Therefore, Wu Shigong planned to let Tao Xin train with Zhou Xun and the others every day in the morning, and bring them back in the afternoon, so that Zhao Ruya and Zhu Yun could teach Tao Xin how to read.In life, he will not treat this little boy badly.

As for those personal soldiers, Wu Shigong also felt that it was more worthwhile.Because they have also received some military training, and their physical fitness is also good.After all, their original task was to save the former thousand households from escaping.

And these days, after Yu Zilian arrived in the capital, he really joined a group of juren and sued Wu Shigong.However, Yu Zilian's lawsuit did not go well.

Why?Because no yamen is willing to accept Yu Zilian's case.

The reason for this is: Although Yu Zilian felt that Wu Shigong's beating him was very serious, in the entire court of the Ming Dynasty, such trivial matters were simply ignored.Especially now, when Emperor Chongzhen came to power, all the officials were busy protecting and robbing their positions. Who would take care of Yu Zilian's crap like this;

The second reason is: due to the bureaucratic nature of the yamen, all officials hold the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and refuse to accept this case.Think about it: a thousand households beat up a Juren, what kind of government office should handle this kind of thing?Therefore, various yamen also kicked the ball over this matter.

Yu Zilian was finally forced to become ruthless, gathered a group of candidates, and simply submitted it to the highest department.After receiving this complaint, in order to give Yu Zilian and the others an explanation, since Wu Shigong is now a thousand householder, they transferred this complaint to the Ministry of War for handling.

The officials of the Ministry of War received this complaint and also made difficulties.Because this pleading touches a sensitive point in the current political situation, so it is difficult to deal with.This is why Yu Zilian still doesn't know how to distinguish the political wind direction.

Because on the surface, this case looks very simple: a Juren called a Qianhu a "eunuch", and after being scolded, the Qianhu beat the Juren.

As for the current officials, as long as they are not blind, they all know that Emperor Chongzhen is going to clean up Wei Zhongxian's party, so they follow suit and dismiss that Qianhu.It can also appease the grievances of those Juren.

However, the problem does not look like this.Now these officials are not worried about Emperor Chongzhen's suppression of Wei Zhongxian's party, but about the expansion of the movement during the process of Emperor Chongzhen's suppression of Wei Zhongxian's party.

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, which official did not flatter Wei Zhongxian?Which official has not called Wei Zhongxian "nine thousand years old"?If Yu Zilian's incident set a precedent, then, as long as a certain scholar scolds an official, that official will fall, so why don't all the officials be in danger?

Besides, some officials of the Ministry of War also recognized Wu Shigong, knowing that Wu Shigong was the son-in-law of Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, and the son of Wu Weizhong, Marquis of Gongshun.Although Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, has lost his power, Wu Weizhong, Marquis of Gongshun, is proud now.Therefore, it is better not to offend at will.

Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of War stabilized Yu Zilian and the others on the one hand, and on the other hand informed Xue Lian and Wu Weizhong of the news.After Xue Lian and Wu Weizhong received the news, they both scolded Wu Shigong in their hearts: "This careless brat."

But scolding is scolding, the matter has to be resolved.After that, it was mainly Xue Lian who paid the money, and Wu Weizhong stepped forward to drag the case down.The reason they told Yu Zilian was this: You Yu Zilian is a juren, so although Wu Shigong is a military officer now, he is also a scholar.Therefore, fights between scholars must be handled with caution.Therefore, the Ministry of War decided to temporarily suspend Wu Shigong from his post and ask him to write a rebuttal memorial. After distinguishing right from wrong, the Ministry of War will deal with it.

There was a good reason for this, and Yu Zilian had nothing to say but to wait.Therefore, under the management of the two Marquis Mansions, the Ministry of War deliberately delayed.The official document requesting Wu Shigong's refutation was not issued from Jincheng until February of the following year, and it would not be until April when it reached Wu Shigong's hands.

However, in the whole incident, Wu Shigong's status as a scholar played a big role.People can't help but sigh: Diplomas are still the most popular!No wonder those who sell fake diplomas can survive until now.
