.On October 19th, Emperor Wanli's "Commentary on the Ministers" was directly issued to the various yamen by the imperial edict: "Since my reign, the atmosphere has been declining, and the scholars have become more and more accustomed to the official teachings, and sovereignty is disrespectful.

Officials are exploring the gaps, skillfully serve as a medium for hunting, encourage friends, extort business, slander loyal and honest people, useless people, praise slandering those who are honest and honest, and praise slandering people as talented, resulting in the authority of the court, and only serve as rewards for ministers. The four dimensions are almost ineffective, and how can the nine virtues be done? I have been quietly watching for eight years, deeply rooted in the source of the evil, and urgently eliminated major events to clarify the atmosphere, but I think that I am at the beginning of the imperial palace, and the grass in the zodiac may be used to shovel the hoe or the secret net may be

It is shocking to the phoenix, and to use it to remove the excessive and to show the precepts and punishments. I have given me some consciences and preached the truth and started with it." Doesn't the Book of Changes say? No bias, no party, no party, no bias, and the king's way is mediocre. I warn the ministers to be sad and mournful and share the achievements of the king's way. From now on, everyone must be pure in their body and mind, be respectful in their duties, and do not be ignorant of their superiors, and keep their wealth and support, and do not follow the support of the people, and do not follow the crowd, and do not be able to follow the crowd.

The government should be disturbed by alarmist words. Those who serve as assistants should be kind and kind, and should not be compared with friends, and should block the road of justice. Those who hold squatting should be humble and should not be tempted by feelings, and should not be tempted by dislikes, so as to open the door to evil and wrong. Officials with officials who have officials should do their loyal duties, abide by the law, and do not be greedy for dereliction of duty or disrupt the world's politics. Those with quarrels should be righteous and unfair and dare to argue. In short, those who are ministers should have the style of establishing a court of justice.

Fan, a minor minister, should have the integrity of being unfair and flattery. Work hard to clear the government and be prosperous. If you indulge in the old ways, stick to the old ways, and ignore the constitutional rules of the court without regard for it, then my ancestors' constitutional rules are very strict, and I dare not forgive me." A murderous edict, like a bolt from the blue, and combined with the background of the upcoming inspection of the capital, is enough to make all officials in danger, and it is even more because it contains the true intention of completely denying Shen Mo, which makes the public angry.

Seeing this edict, the cabinet ministers were immediately in an uproar. At the morning meeting, Lu Shusheng asked loudly: "Why is the cabinet not allowed to hear such a major edict in advance!"

"Without Fengtai Luan Pavilion, the imperial edict was issued directly. Where is the cabinet and the six departments? "When the artillery was set up, Wei Xuezeng was inevitable when the artillery fired. He suddenly stood up and said, "No, we have to write a letter immediately and ask the emperor to take it back!" The court has clear regulations." Tang Ruji also expressed his opinion: "All edicts must be drafted by the cabinet. After the imperial pen personally approved it, the edict went to the six departments to refute the official and finally sent it to the Tongzheng edict. This is an effective government order.

"He paused and said, "Otherwise, he would be a mess and his subordinates would not follow him!" So several cabinet ministers were ready to write a memorial to refute the matter.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Only then did Zhang Siwei speak out: "The cabinet knows about this."

"The Cabinet knows?" Everyone's eyes turned to each other.

Siwei nodded and said expressionlessly: "This memorial is ignored by drafting."

"Call?" The ministers widened their eyes and said for a while: "Why did Yuan Fu do this?"

"The Holy Order must not be violated," Zhang Siwei said slowly: "I am just repeating the edict."

"What did Yuan Fu regard himself as?" Wei Xuezeng said in a serious face: "The chief minister is used to understand the yinyang and to enlighten the sages of the Tao, not the minister of calligraphy and calligraphy who copied it!"

"Is this inappropriate? "This time he stabbed Zhang Siwei's pain point, and he also said with a look down: "The establishment of the cabinet ministers in our court is only for the position of consultant, and it is not the prime minister. One or two of the powers are slightly more powerful, and they all steal the power of the emperor and the superiors, and invade the positions of the six ministers, and eventually cause disaster. Do you want me to repeat the same mistake?"

"What is this?" Lu Shusheng said furiously: "Although my grandson has no name, he has the power of prime minister! So people in the world say "enter the cabinet as prime minister." Even the Shimiao and the late emperor were called prime ministers. Why did it become worthless when they came to Yuan Fu's mouth?" He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Can Yuan Fu hand over the prime ministers that the hard-earned generations of cabinet ministers have to hand over?"

Zhang Siwei originally wanted to use high-sounding words to make excuses, but Lu Shusheng said in one sentence that everyone knew, but no one dared to say it. This made him extremely embarrassed, and he could only defend himself silently: "The power of the cabinet is naturally to be maintained, but it cannot be opposed purely for opposition. The emperor's decree has already stated that it is a "urge to all ministers". No matter what the content is, it should fully express the meaning of the emperor.

The little minister can still speak out right and wrong. Does the emperor have no right to express his own wishes?"

"Can the emperor be like a minister?" Wei Xuezeng shook his head and said, "His words and deeds represent the court and the will of the country. Do you know how much chaos this irresponsible speech will bring to the court and the country?"

"Gemaster Wei, pay attention to your words." Zhang Siwei said with a straight face: "The emperor just ordered the ministers to perform their duties and not be a party. This is a very normal Hadith. How could it bring chaos?"

"But it is abnormal to publish such a hasty teaching on the eve of Beijing Inspection before the body of the Master Shen Ge was cold!" Wei Xuezeng raised his voice and said, "What does it mean, "Since the great throne, the atmosphere has declined, the officials have lost their punishments, and the sovereignty is disrespectful? What does it mean, the court's authority and blessings are only rewarded by the ministers. The four dimensions are almost insufficiency, how can the nine virtues be done? Is it so unbearable in the eyes of the emperor? Is the Ming Dynasty, which is peaceful and the world is called rule, is so dark?!"

"Don't take the truth out of context. If the emperor says, "The world is peaceful and the rivers are clear and all officials are very competent, how can we scold you? It is a very common truth for fathers not to praise your son, and emperors not to praise your ministers. For what the emperor says, if there is, change it, and if there is no. This is the way to be a minister." Zhang Siwei pursued the "the wrath of a saint is not on his face." Although he was cooked with a silence, he learned from Gao Gong's lessons back then and refused to tear his face apart. Everyone was ugly. Thinking about being a "sad soldier" today, he would have to pass this level perfunctorily and said: "I know you are angry, most of the time I didn't communicate with you in advance, but the platform summoned the chief minister alone, which is the court's deliberation system. The emperor told me not to speak out for now. Am I so arrogant? Is this the way to be a minister?"

Not only did he be the "Shunter for the Secretariat" who has been a "Come to the Secretariat" for more than ten years, he was a master in shirking responsibility. He completely took out his own words in just a few words.

However, his colleagues were not given in vain. After a brief silence, Zhu Dashou, who had been silent, spoke: "What has happened is meaningless to argue, and letting the emperor take it back into his life will even damage the authority of the emperor."

"Zhuge Pavilion is always a sensible person." Zhang Siwei was relieved in one breath, but he heard Zhu Dashou's words turn around: "But the cabinet must express its attitude, calm people's hearts, and must not hurt the hard-earned Wanli New Policy."

"..." Zhang Siwei did not dare to offend all officials at the risk of offending all officials, denying silence and denying the Wanli New Policy. He could not refuse for a while, so he had to say in a muffled voice: "Then let's get a joint name..."

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one

Most of these people were the first to follow Shen Mo more than 20 years ago. At that time, he was still a small horn of sesame and green beans. They were even more worthless soldiers. They protected him from birth and death in the southeast. He was arrested and followed him thousands of miles away, never leaving him, and watched him go through hardships and dangers, watching him step by step towards glory. Compared to the guards who joined later, their loyalty was engraved in their bones, which was a kind of trust and obedience that was bound to life and death, honor and disgrace, all tied to him, and had no reservations.

Although there were chairs of the sluts in the hall, they did not sit casually, but lined up in two rows like they did during training in Shaoxing twenty years ago, standing solemnly, waiting for his review.

Looking at the familiar faces that had been missing for a long time, a warm current soothes his scarred heart. He walked up to everyone, shouted out his name, and hugged him tightly.

"Iron Pillar!"

"Three feet!"

"beard!"

"Horse Monkey!"

"Big Eyes!"

"Maro!"

"Old bandit!"

The middle-aged men who had long been as hard as iron were called by him as the nickname of the past, and their eyes were filled with tears. They hugged them tightly and silently, "Sir, do you know what we call you?"

"Miss White" said in silence: "Do you think I don't know?" It made everyone laugh.

He looked at his father who had always been "relative," and actually cried and laughed with these rude generals. Zhiqing's eyes were also wet. He felt that this was the true face of his father, the father who made him feel extremely warm when he was a child.

Zheng Ruozeng had prepared Yu Sheng's banquet a long time ago. He knew that today's protagonists were his old guards, and he and Shen Jing were just accompanying him. Therefore, the seven plates and eight bowls of them were all big fish and meat, and the wine was also strong. He had prepared light and exquisite Huaiyang cuisine, but was refused by Chen Si, saying: "I'm happy today, I'm going to drink with my brothers and eat meat in big mouthfuls!"

After drinking three bowls of reunion wine with everyone, his silent tongue was a little bit tidy, but he was still energetic and patted Tiezhu's arm beside him and said, "In order to digest your origins over the years, I don't allow you to contact me, but I'm always thinking about you in my heart. Why don't you tell me how you came through these years?"

"Success, then I will talk about it first." Tiezhu is nearly fifty years old, but because of his dark face and no distortion, he does not show his age. He has a hard beard and smiled silly: "In the 44th year of Jiajing, the lord of the subordinates returned to his hometown and became a 100-household chief in the Zhejiang army. In the first year of Longqing, he was transferred north to listen to Qi Shuai's tent. During the training of troops in Baoding, he was promoted to Qianhuo Qiancheng. In the battle of reconciliation, his subordinates followed Qi Shuai and fought Dongshengcheng. After the war, I was promoted to the Liaohe garrison, and the commander-in-chief, followed General Li to fight in Liao. Because I was born under General Qi, I had been living on my own for four and a half years. In the second year of Wanli, I was used as a target to attract the main force of the Tumans. I fought for ten days and nights, and most of the five thousand brothers were killed in battle, and then I got the great victory." Speaking of the difficulties I encountered at that time, Tiezhu said that the clouds were calm, but anyone could imagine how he survived.

"After that war, General Li looked at me with admiration, but my brothers and I were heartbroken by the Liaodong Army who were unsuccessful." Tiezhu continued: "General Li did not intend to keep us, so he asked the Ministry of War to withdraw us from the Liaodong front line. After several months of cultivation, I was promoted to commander commander, and I was employed by Nanning, Guangxi. In the fourth year of Wanli, Annan rebelled and was transferred out of Zhennan Pass. Under the command of Master Jingluo, he suppressed the Ruan rebellion and promoted to commander commander of the office. He served as deputy general of Annan. He was just promoted to commander commander last year and is now the general of Annan."

"In 16 years, I will be one of the three generals of the Central and Southern Administration!" Chen Mo said in person: "It's so gratifying!" Everyone also started to cheer, forcing Tiezhu to pour three bowls in a row before he was willing to let him go.

By the way, Tiezhu's big name is Tie Zhan, but he was asked in silence at the beginning. He originally planned to give birth to a daughter named Tie Xinlan, but unfortunately this guy had even given birth to six sons, not a single one.

Next is Chang Sanfoe.

Chen Si designed roughly the same path for these old subordinates, but this guy is much smoother than Tiezhu. He has always been taking care of his superiors, so naturally he will not be so difficult. Now he is the second-rank commander Tongzhi and served as the deputy general of Guangdong. He is only one line away from the iron pillars that are made by real swords and guns.

Among the other fourteen old guards, Hu Yong became the general of Luzon, Ma Han became the deputy general of Guangxi, and the rest had not yet reached the top level, but at worst, they were also a powerful general, with more than 10,000 troops under their command. In addition to the sixteen people present, there were eleven people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Han, in Hetao.

The eight people in Liaodong have no chance to sit here because the journey is long.

Before they were ready to escape, they were afraid that they would learn about their death, and they would do something about thunder and fire on impulse, so they immediately sent someone to notify them.

While drinking with Zheng Ruozeng was watching the extent of these people reach today, of course, it would take personal blood and sweat. However, it was almost impossible to leave Silence, the old benefactor who had been in charge of military affairs for more than ten years and operate the Ministry of War into his own backyard.

If you think about it carefully, since more than ten years ago, when I didn't know him, I began to use the collapse of the world military system. During the golden period when the recruitment system was first established, I cultivated the power of trust in the army. The deep plan and the far-reaching thoughts made people shudder when they thought about it.
