Less than three months after the Minister of Personnel Liang Menglong took office, he was suddenly impeached. He was greedy for more than 20,000 taels of ink, and there were also clear evidence of his family's exceeding the rules. This licentiousness is to receive the beauty given by the people below.

The big boss with real power in the capital, who doesn’t do this? If you say more than 20,000 taels of this amount, you will be laughed at. This debauchery is even more nonsense. If you can’t even debauchery, who will become this official?

But if these things cannot be put on the table, the censor presents this matter, which is the serious crime of the relevant persons.

This memorial quickly completed all the process and was placed on the desk of Emperor Wanli. Seeing how luxurious and debauchery the ministers were, Emperor Wanli always remembered what they saw when they went to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to visit him. His face naturally sank. Zhang Cheng beside him bowed and explained:

"Eunuch Feng believes that Liang Menglong is an important minister but does not cultivate his integrity, so he should be punished."

Emperor Wanli threw the memorial book on the table and said calmly:

"I'll just make a few words on behalf of me, deceiving the emperor and despising the law, and considering that I am a minister, I will allow him to retire and return home."

Zhang Cheng quickly picked up the red pen on the desk and wrote a few sentences. Emperor Wanli didn't look at it, but closed it directly. Instead, he picked up a few other pieces of paper, leaned on the back of the chair and started reading it, with a relaxed and freehand look.

"Wang Tong is better looking. He takes a big ship to sea to wipe out pirates, kill a group of pirates, recruit a group of pirates, whisper, it's really wonderful. Zhang's partner, Wang Tong also said that Tianjin's health affairs are numerous and there are no arrangements for a while, and it may not be completed. He may not come to the capital to take office next year... Do you think he has resentment towards the position of commanding the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng felt a sudden slap in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head and said:

"Her Long Sui thought too much. If Wang Tong had resentment, how could he be at ease in Tianjin Wei for so long, and did so many things for HAI. Besides, there are imperial guards, harbors, and trade with everywhere. In all aspects, there are many things, and there are also some things that cannot be settled for a while."

Zhang Cheng's judgment was also Wang Tong's resentment. Zhang Cheng still remembered the fight on June 19th. Eleven young generals withstood the siege of hundreds of guards and eunuchs, killing five injured. The battle scene was not seen in person, but in the house, howlings and screams outside, guns and cannons were clearly heard outside, and when the battle stopped, they went out to see the strong smell of blood and smoke, and the corpses stacked in the yard all proved the tragic battle.

Not afraid of life and death, he was able to protect the world. Such merits were not bad, but even the commander of the Jinyiwei, which the emperor personally agreed to, did not realize it. In the end, he got a commander of the Tongzhi, and no one would feel comfortable.

But Zhang Cheng naturally would not say that. Wang Tong is his capable ally and must be maintained well.

Emperor Wanli was stunned and sighed and said:

"It's true that I'm not good at it. Wang Tongban has been doing his best... Zhang Fan, the current situation should be that Wang Zhuan wants to fight Zhang Siwei, right?"

"Long live the truth, the news from the Public Security Department and the reports from the factory and the factory guards said that Qingliu, the censor of the capital, has been mobilized. Although Liang Menglong was promoted by Zhang Juzheng, he has been close to Zhang Siwei during this period. This impeachment may have begun."

"Follow them, follow them, and do whatever the mother and Feng Daban think, I will just watch the fun."

Zhang Cheng bowed quickly, sighing in his heart, and the emperor was also resentful.

On August 23, an order was issued in the palace. Liang Menglong, the Minister of Personnel, deceived the emperor and the emperor. He thought of becoming a minister and was old, so he promised to retire and return home.

This treatment was a setback for Zhang Siwei and his team. Everyone knew that they would strike while the iron was hot. On August 25, another censor Cao Yikui submitted a memorial saying that Liang Menglong, the Minister of Personnel, and Zhang Siwei, had colluded with each other and admitted Zhang Siwei's cousin Wang Qian as the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

Being able to serve as the chief officer in the Ministry of Personnel, then after coming out, you can become a member of the foreigner elsewhere. This is one of the shortcuts to success. The palace also gave another solution. Wang Qian left his post, but he denounced Cao Yikui to frame the auxiliary.

However, the court's series of disposals seemed to show its attitude. Although the palace sent officials to Zhang Siwei's mansion to appease him, the palace thought it had nothing to do with him, Zhang Siwei still submitted a memorial to resign. Naturally, the palace did not allow this, and he tried to keep it from many ways. Zhang Siwei earnestly submitted a memorial and sent someone to keep it in the palace.

At this moment, Shanxi Dao Censor Zhang Wenda submitted a memorial to discuss Zhang Siwei, with many criticisms, believing that his talent and virtue were not enough to serve as a supporting position, and pointed out that Zhang Siwei had several cases of accepting bribes.

The reaction in the palace surprised the disciples of Zhang Juzheng outside. Emperor Wanli was furious and demoted Zhang Wenda to the Governor of Fujian Yunshu.

Wang Zhuan, who had temporarily taken office as Minister of Personnel, and Zeng Shengwu, the Minister of Works, and others were only given news. Zhang Siwei gave Feng Bao another gift. It is said that there were several priceless calligraphy works by famous artists. Feng Bao was proficient in calligraphy. This gift can be said to be in his favor. In the affairs of the inner court, Eunuch Feng still had a lot of weight.

Zhang Wenda was demoted, but Zhang Siwei wrote a memorial to seek justice for him, saying that Zhang Wenda could not believe the rumors and did not have to be convicted. However, anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was just a hypocritical gesture. Zhang Wenda was driven out of the capital in early September.

The attitude of the palace this time eased the attacks and attacks of Zhang Juzheng's disciples against Zhang Siwei. During this period, Zhang Siwei did not make any major moves, but only promoted the two.

Yang Junmin, the right deputy chief censor of Shandong, was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Zhi was also arranged to be the censor of Jiangxi Road, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the common affairs of the Ministry of War, the seventh emperor of Jiangxi Road, and more than 100 censors of the Ministry of War, and this appointment was not rare.

However, Yang Junmin was the son of Yang Bo, an old minister who served as Minister of War and Minister of Personnel during the reign of Emperor Longqing. Yang Bo was also from Puzhou, Shanxi, and was a fellow townsman of Zhang Siwei. He was a good friend to Wang Chonggu, who was once the governor of the Three Borders of Xuanda Shanxi. Such people were naturally an alliance of Zhang Siwei.

In addition, this new censor Li Zhi, who doesn’t know in the capital, is Zhang Siwei’s favorite disciple. It is easier to speak by arranging his most trusted persons as a censor.

Under the current situation, the characters on the side of Zhang Juzheng's disciples have been mobilized. Although Zhang Siwei was embarrassed, he still took it. Now he needs such a decisive person to increase his strength. Shen Shixing, who was regarded as the leader of Zhang Juzheng by Wang Zhuan, Zeng Shengwu and others, has not yet taken action.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, the leaves began to wither and yellow, and the autumn in the capital gradually became stronger. The court meeting ended. Wang Zhuan and Zeng Shengwu hurriedly handled the ministry at hand and rushed to Shenshi Mansion.

"Mr. Mo, if Zhang Siwei is in power, he will repetition and abolish the rules of Zhang Ge Lao, and we will all die without a place to die."

"Mr. Mo is the assistant, and it is the hope of everyone. Your Majesty believes in Mo. If Mr. Mo says it, it is worth a hundred memorials from the Taoist officials below..."

Wang Zhuan and Zeng Shengwu spoke sincerely, but Shen Shixing did not make a clear statement. After being together for a long time, they knew Shen Shixing's personality. They knew that he was not intentionally ruling and doing things so cautiously, but they spoke earnestly enough to show the pros and cons. Shen Shixing sat and looked at one at this time, and would not be without action.

After saying everything they should say, the two of them said goodbye. Among Zhang Juzheng's disciples, they would not be the only ones who came to the door. There is still time now, so they are not too anxious.

However, they walked out of the door, but Shen Shixing turned from the living room to his study, where there was a guest waiting. Shen Shixing walked in with a heavy face. When the man saw it, he first stood up and bowed.

"The Chief Lu Fu is not polite. I sent a letter to Yang Sichen five days ago and kept waiting for a reply."

The rebellion of the teachers and students in the capital was Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, could no longer be in the position. The prefect of the prefect of the prefect Chen Zhizhong, was temporarily appointed as the prefect of the prefect, and the consecrated magistrate Lu Wancai was quietly promoted to the position of prefect, and also served as the duty of the prefect of the prefect.

It was shocking to be able to achieve such a position in the Ming Dynasty. Outsiders think that if there was no such chaos, he would definitely not be able to reach this point.

Seeing Shen Shixing as Lu Wancai, it was normal to kneel down and kowtow. Shen Shixing's attitude was already very polite. Waiting for Yang Sichen to reply, everyone understood what was going on. Lu Wancai sat there wearing a essay robe and said in surprise:

"Oh, maybe Mr. Yang has something to do, so he didn't have time to reply. This time he came, but he heard some gossip from the city and wanted to tell the adults."

Shen Shixing's eyes narrowed and he turned around and said:

"Lu Fucheng is talking about gossip, you don't have to listen here, just go down."

The people who served inside and outside the house were all tactfully retreated and closed the door for the generals. One was the head of the Shuntian Prefecture and the second assistant to the cabinet of the current dynasty. When they met in private places like the study, no one would believe it for the sake of gossip, but no one would just say it.

"... Gossip, one day Your Majesty talked with the internal officials, and talked about the current political dispute between the court. Your Majesty said that I don't like anyone in the court, but the court is full of Zhang Juzheng's people. I feel uncomfortable and let Zhang Siwei fight..."

These words were really rebellious, but Shen Shixing looked cautious, and finally sighed, and stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Wancai. Lu Wancai stood up in a hurry and waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Sei kill the lower official, kill the lower official..."

On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Shen Shixing suddenly became infected with a cold and said he was sick and recuperated, and he stayed in the door and refused to see guests. Emperor Wanli sent an internal official to express his condolences. The officialdom was shocked. When was this time and where was the time to get sick? Did Shen Shixing ignore anything?

The capital was quiet for fifteen days. On September 23, Wang Jixian, the minister of the Hukou Department, impeached the Minister of Works Zeng Shengwu to accept bribes, debauchery, and ten major crimes of exceeding the rules.

Emperor Wanli was furious and ordered his resignation according to the disposal of Liang Menglong, Minister of Personnel a month ago...
