Chapter 865 Returning to Beijing (Part 2)

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Longqing, he passed Zhennan Pass silently and returned to Guangxi. Yin Zhengmao, the new governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, led a group of civil and military officials in Guangxi to welcome him in Nanning City.

After seeing the silence, Yin Zhengmao looked ashamed and knelt down and refused to get up. "..., because he caused a big disaster, it all depends on silence and thoroughness.

After Mo surrendered, he gave Wei Yinbao's head and the sword he often used. Duan Zhengmao, who was wearing ape-skin hat, ordered the people who surrendered from Wei Yinbao. After identifying it, he confirmed it was true. Without waiting for silence, he rushed to send a message to the capital city for 800 miles. When Emperor Longqing saw Wei Yinbao's head, he was happy and presented it to the Taimiao and sent it to commend him. Yin Zhengmao was promoted from the governor of Guangxi to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Unexpectedly, there was information about Wei Yinbao appearing in Gutian again. Yin Zhengmao was extremely sad and shocked. He quickly ordered someone to find out the truth... It turned out that there was a soldier under Wei Yinbao's subordinate who looked very similar to him and voluntarily gave his head to save him from danger. The person responsible for checking the head was not a general of Wei at all. In fact, he was just a small leader who was not a good person. He had never seen Wei Yinbao for several times before he was deceived.

Yin Zhengmao was furious and ordered people to drag the guy who was hurt by him out to feed the dog. But this was useless for the crime of deceiving the emperor. I am afraid that the edict for the punishment would arrive soon.

Just when he was in a state of silence, the silenced document arrived. In the letter, Chen Mo did not say anything blamed, but ordered Wei Yinbao to quickly arrest Wei Yinbao again. As for other matters, it would be fine to leave it to him to deal with. "..., seeing that the Chief Shen took the initiative to take this responsibility, Wei Yinbao burst into tears and immediately reorganized his troops and rushed to Gutian to fight for the suppression, and offered a reward of Wei Yinbao's head for a hundred thousand yuan. Fortunately, Wei Yinbao's energy was exhausted, and his brother Wei Yinzhan was worried that it would harm the entire clan, so he reported to the official army. As a result, Wei Yinbao was surrounded in a cave in Phoenix Mountain and finally committed suicide.

Wei Yinzhan and others repeatedly identified it. This time it was confirmed that it was Wei Yinbao, and Yin Zhengmao had given up his heart and quickly took people to welcome the silence. It was precisely because of this episode that Yin Zhengmao had time to greet the country and could only wait for silence in Nanning City.

"How is it?" At this time, Chen Si had not received the latest news. He didn't know that Wei Yinbao was awarded the title again.

"I didn't disappoint you anymore!" Yin Zhengmao said with a look of gratitude: "There is no Wei Yinbao in the world."

"Well..." Chen Si nodded slightly, and said with a very soft voice: "This time it was actually fake, but it was the real last time, right?"

"…………” Yin Zhengmao was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this time I heard someone pretending to be Wei Yinbao and sent troops to clean up."

"No," Chen Ji nodded in praise, helped him up and said, "Let's talk inside."

"This, the official has already prepared a little wine," Yin Zhengmao said: "Would you wash the dust for the adults first?"

“It’s too late.

"Chen Si shook his head and said, "The court asks me where I am every day, and I have to set off in the afternoon."

"But you have to have a meal." Yin Zhengmao insisted on keeping him, and was unable to go silently and kindly, so he had to say, "Let them serve two dishes to the signing room, and we will talk while eating."

After entering the signing room, he waited for the personal soldiers to set up the cups and plates, Yin Zhengmao repelled his left and right, and then knelt in front of Shen Mo, and said, "The lower-ranking official was a ghost and was eager to make a contribution. As a result, he almost killed himself, but also implicated the adults. He deserved to die!"

"Forget it, I was in Annan at that time. "There was no expression on my silent face: "You got the thief chief in Guangxi, and it is understandable that you were too excited to get over me."

"Sir, I just refuse to forgive my subordinates." Yin Zhengmao kowtowed with a bang, making his forehead blurred blood.

"Ah, Brother Shi Ting..." Chen Si sighed and said, "You are an old fellow villager of the Grand Marshal. How did I treat you all the time?"

"The kindness is as heavy as a mountain." Yin Zhengmao said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the rescue of the adults, I, Yin Zhengmao, would have been home with a bed and a bed, how could I be like today?" Yin Zhengmao, a Jinshi from She County, Huizhou in the 26th year of Jiajing, was from a civil servant. Although he was a civil servant, he had great military talents to fight against the Japanese in the southeast. In Hannan, he led troops to fight many times and never failed. He is a recognized famous general.

However, this Confucian general who is versatile in civil and military affairs has been promoted to a stumble, because there is only one reason why he is famous for his corruption. You must know that in this dynasty, corruption is really not news, and not corruption is news. Can this guy be famous for his greed in the Ming Dynasty, and can he use specific list of his great achievements?

Although those censors were seriously myopic and stared at the trivial matters in the capital, they could not see local officials who were corrupt and abused, but they would still be targeted by model models like Yin Zhengmao. In fact, every time they inspected, Lord Yin would get greedy and cruel comments. If it were someone else, ten black veils would not be enough to pick them, but he would always get out of danger. The reason was useless.

There were many evil and rude places in the Ming Dynasty. It was not possible to rely solely on good governance in these places, let alone doing good governance requires money! Without money, you can only rely on evil people like Yin Zhengmao to suppress it, so the court cannot do without him, just as people cannot do without a chamber pot.

Of course, it is not possible to rely on his ability alone, but those famous Neo-Confucian officials are unwilling to have anything to do with him. Only a big shot like Hu Zongxian, who is both black and white, will not care. After Hu Zongxian stepped down, he handed this fellow villager to Chen Si. Situation can naturally protect him from being thorough, but Situation does not have the spirit of Hu Zongxian, and will not sit on the ground with Yin Zhengmao to share the spoils and play with women. He has also written letters to him to restrain himself many times, which made Yin Zhengmao uneasy. "He felt that the other party looked down on him, but he still had the use of himself now, so he had to protect himself. Once it was useless, he would abandon himself at any time.

People who can embezzle generally have a more active mind. A corrupt superstar like Yin Zhengmao is as if he had butter. He secretly found another support and naturally targeted Zhang Juzheng, a senior secretary of the same year. Although Zhang Juzheng's weight is much worse than silence, this person has an advantage. He dares to accept any kind of gift, and after receiving it, he will do things for you... This makes Yin Zhengmao feel a sense of security like finding the same kind, not to mention that everyone is in the same year, so it is appropriate to get closer.

So during the holidays, Yin Zhengmao had great gifts. As for Zhang Juzheng, who was looking for military support, when he saw him taking the initiative to surrender, he was like a sleepy man who encountered a soft pillow. He naturally hugged him tightly, regardless of whether the pillow was dirty or smelly. However, at first, Yin Zhengmao planned to step on two boats and would take the steadily one. But Chen Si took Wu Bai's friends to Annan and left him in Guangxi as a decoration, which made Yin Zhengmao feel very unhappy. He thought that he had completely marginalized in Shen Mo's team.

At this time, his friend of the same year, Zhang Juzheng's fellow villager Li Youzi, took advantage of the opportunity to escort military rations to come to his military camp. When his friends met, they naturally had to sleep and have a long talk... Li Youzi analyzed the trends of the court to Yin Zhengmao, and asserted that he wanted to "reward great achievements without rewarding them, and decline after prosperity. He advised him to draw a clear line with him so as not to make mistakes.

Yin Zhengmao is not a three-year-old child, so it is impossible for him to believe whatever he says. But soon, the news that Emperor Longqing was seriously ill in the capital was shocked. After repeated thinking, he believed that the country had no long monarch, and the lord and the ministers were suspicious. "Silence, powerful ministers like Gao Gong would inevitably be ruthlessly attacked, and Zhang Juzheng, who was in a weak position, was very likely to take advantage of the situation... These three people who could provoke Daliang in the Ming Dynasty. If Gao and the two big bosses Chen really went, Zhang would definitely stay.

Finally, the gambler factor in the xing pattern made Yin Zhengmao decide to gamble and burn Zhang Juzheng's cold stove. Once it really became popular, his second half of his life would be guaranteed. That's why he bypassed the silence after getting Wei Yinbao's head and reported directly to the cabinet... This is a statement.

Who knew that fakes are rampant these days, and even the heads are fake. This is not only a matter of lying about military merits. Emperor Longqing has solemnly surrendered to the Taimiao... Could it be that the emperor said to his ancestors again, "I'm sorry, that head is fake." Let me give you a few days to find a real one for you. Isn't this making the emperor a laughing stock for all the people in the world?

The matter is now big, if we continue to pursue it, the immortals can't save Yin Zhengmao. Gao Gong had disliked Yin Zhengmao, and had long wanted to get over it. When he heard this news, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and shouted to kill him. When he was a dead fellow Taoist, Zhang Juzheng naturally would not make any noise. Yin Zhengmao just left the Shen Party and did not say that he would join the Zhang Party.

Just as Yin Zhengmao was in panic all day long, he spoke in Annan's silence and decided to make peace in Guangxi. People's hearts were in chaos, and it was inevitable that someone would pretend to be Wei Yinbao to cause trouble. He should put out the rumors while secretly investigating them. Before the truth was revealed, the court should not express his opinion.

This is the old saying of the country, and Beijing's voice came to an abrupt end. But everyone knows that this is silent to resist the pressure on Yin Zhengmao. If he cannot find Wei Yinbao as soon as possible, no matter whether it is true or false, and then kill it, he will be more than the one who is unlucky...

Fortunately, it was a blessing to invite the heavens. In less than a month, Wei Yinbao, once again, was awarded the title of the head, and this time he would never be able to survive again.

Yin Zhengmao, who escaped by luck, only then could see who was reliable, so he knelt on Shen Mo and kowtowed to apologize.

"You are the saying that good birds choose trees to live on. You think that my tree is about to fall, so you naturally have to climb another branch, right?" Since Yin Zhengmao surrendered again, Chen Si naturally no longer polite to him, and said coldly: "Yes, your feeling is very sharp, I am indeed in trouble."

"………………” Yin Zhengmao opened his mouth and explained, but was stopped by Chen Si, "But not what you imagined! Yes, I have led troops for many years and have not been a poor governor and general under my command. I have not had many military achievements and have some reputation among the people. Could it be that because of these, I may rebel?" Chen Si smiled sarcastically and said, "What era is now? The peaceful and prosperous era with strict legal system! I am a mere minister and a word from the court, I have to give up my military power and return to Beijing obediently. Apart from the two hundred personal guards, there is no direct troops around me! Who would believe me if I might rebel? Do you believe me? Will the emperor believe me? Or will anyone with a brain believe me?"

Duan Zhengmao shook his head. In his consciousness, the Ming Dynasty's checks and balances on the power of the ministers had reached an impeccable level... Of course, this impeccable comes at the expense of efficiency. Although these systems have begun to be loosened and destroyed over the years, not everyone can see them.

"Since there is no possibility of rebellion, why don't you believe me, but instead believe that others will win?" Silent stared at him.

"The officials thought..." Yin Zhengmao gritted his teeth and said to the truth: "The prince is young and now he is planning for the ancestral temple, so he will not leave behind powerful ministers!"

"……………” I was silent. Yin Zhengmao was indeed extraordinary. He looked at the problem and came to the point. After a while, he whispered: "How much do you know about the present?"

"Today is one of the few merciful kings in ancient and modern times." Yin Zhengmao said.

"This is a good word, but you still don't understand the present day after all." Chen Si said lightly: "He is an emperor who is willing to trust others. This is extremely rare for emperors. As long as he believes that I will not rebel, he will not let those people do what they want!" Zhan Yan smiled and said: "If you change to another emperor, your choice is right, but the person in power is the words of Emperor Longqing, and you will be a mediocre person."

"If you don't believe me, let's go and see." Silently, he stood up and said with strong confidence in his words: "Look at who has the last laugh!"

"The official is convinced and unquestionable." Yin Zhengmao hurriedly expressed his opinion: "See you to the death!"

"No need." Chen Si said lightly: "I said that good birds choose trees to live in. You should look at which tree you should look at. Even if you go there, you just need to see clearly. I won't give you a second chance." For a smart person like Yin Zhengmao, it's useless to say anything. Only with strength and strong strength will he be honest and obedient.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Si left Nanning City and embarked on the journey to return to Beijing quickly. His mood was much heavier than his performance. Yin Zhengmao's affairs were not an isolated case. There were many Jin Zhengmao and Tong Zhengmao... all cast doubtful eyes on him, wanting to know if he was okay?

You can't lose this battle. If you lose, there is nothing to say. The money falls and the tree scatters and everything turns into a bubble.
