Rise From the Humble

It was already dark. Zhu Ping'an stood at the table by the window and stretched out his hand to open the window. The slightly cool evening breeze came to meet him, and the remaining alcoholic feeling completely disappeared.

The situation is just right at this time, and the opportunity should not be let down.

Zhu Pingan spread rice paper in the slight cool breeze, grinded the ink, dipped his pen in the ink, and analyzed his current situation on the rice paper. It is said that only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you win every battle. Many people tend to focus on analyzing their opponents, but forget to analyze themselves. As a result, they are at a disadvantage when the two sides confront each other head-on. The so-called victory in a hundred battles is nothing more than using one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. Therefore, we must know ourselves as well as our enemies. The information I got from Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen today can help me analyze better.

In fact, my current situation ultimately comes down to that memorial.

Zhu Pingan left the word memorial at the top and center of the rice paper, and then wrote the word Jiajing at the beginning of the second row.

As for the memorial, Emperor Jiajing was the most important and should be considered first. Regardless of how powerful Yan Song is, how he influences the government, the real and only master of the Ming Dynasty is Emperor Jiajing. What was the purpose of Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of alchemy and immortality in order to seek longevity, not to be able to control Daming forever? His possessive desire for power is unquestionable. How to deal with the memorial is ultimately up to Emperor Jiajing. Regardless of the conclusion of the Criminal Ministry's statement, it must be reported to Emperor Jiajing to make a decision.

No one knows how Emperor Jiajing decided, and no one can guess with certainty. After all, Emperor Jiajing was a man who took drugs and cultivated immortality, and he also liked to create mysteries to keep his subordinates guessing.

Even Yan Song was not fully sure of guessing Emperor Jiajing, and Yan Shifan, the genius who claimed to know Emperor Jiajing best, did not dare to say.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an, who came from modern times, could not do it even if he had read all the records about Emperor Jiajing in history books and unofficial histories, and even if he used historical advantages to become familiar with Emperor Jiajing's personality, hobbies and habits.

Psychologists in the world who can 100% guess every move of a normal person cannot guess what it means for an abnormal human being to simply giggle and giggle.

The elixir that Emperor Jiajing ate every day contained heavy metals and various strange substances, accumulated over time, who knows if it will affect the nerves...

However, although it is impossible to guess, it can still be analyzed to some extent.

It was completely dark outside. Zhu Pingan filled some lamp oil into the oil lamp, lit it and illuminated the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. Then he wrote the word "reward" in the two blank spaces after the word Jiajing.

"Reward" is an indispensable factor in analyzing Emperor Jiajing's attitude, and it is also an unavoidable topic in the memorial. The reward was issued by Emperor Jiajing last year. It was issued after the Gengxu Revolution when Mongolian Anda led his troops to the capital. As soon as Ananda left the capital, Emperor Jiajing issued a reward on the back.

The reward stipulations are as follows: if you capture an enemy, you will be promoted to an official rank one level, and you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you do not want to be promoted to an official, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. If you recruit one strong man, you will be rewarded with five taels of silver; if you recruit three people, you will be promoted to an official rank, and the number will increase in ascending order. Acquire a well-known person from the enemy, a third-level official, and a reward of three hundred taels of silver. If a major enemy leader comes to offer a gift, he will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.

Emperor Jiajing did this to stimulate the morale of the army and encourage the soldiers and civilians to perform meritorious service and kill the enemy, but he was also angered by An Da.

Zhao Daying, whom Zhu Ping'an impeached, was the first beneficiary of the reward issued by Emperor Jiajing. Yan Song promoted Zhao Daying from a hundred households to a thousand households at once, and one of the reasons was the reward.

Emperor Jiajing was once complacent about the effectiveness of the reward. Zhu Ping'an impeached Zhao Daying, which to some extent made Jiajing unable to come to Taiwan.

The promised effect turned out not to be...

Therefore, to a certain extent, Zhu Ping'an was at a disadvantage to Emperor Jiajing in terms of memorials.

However, this also depends on which angle you look at it. Zhao Daying killed a good person and took credit for it, "borrowing" the heads of ordinary people to receive the reward. Emperor Jiajing's reward did not mean using the heads of ordinary people to receive the reward! Shang Geli talks about using the enemy's head to collect the crime. Zhao Daying can be said to have deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. It can be classified as the crime of deceiving the emperor. Emperor Jiajing was greatly stimulated by Zhao Daying's deception of the emperor, but it was much greater than Zhu Ping'an's.

Moreover, Zhu Ping'an's memorial was not aimed at Jiajing's reward, but at killing good people and taking merit.

Angle is important.

You should pay more attention to this aspect.

After the word "reward", Zhu Pingan wrote the word "Zhao Zhou" in another line. Zhao Zhou refers to Zhao Jin, the censor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Zhou Mian, the doctor of the military selection department of the Ministry of War. Emperor Jiajing's treatment of Zhao and Zhou had a great impact on his own situation, not only in terms of the two men being imprisoned and dismissed from their posts as civilians, but also in the speed with which Emperor Jiajing dealt with them. It can be said that Emperor Jiajing dealt with the two people very quickly. Almost as soon as Emperor Jiajing saw the memorial, they were imprisoned on the same day. However, Emperor Jiajing had been reading his memorial for so many days, but he still didn't deal with it as quickly as he did with the two of them. Does this mean that Emperor Jiajing treated his memorial differently from Zhao Zhou...

When Zhu Pingan picked up the lamp and waved his brush, the two girls in the ear room looked at Zhu Pingan's figure from a distance, with surprise in their eyes.

"It's so late, why is my uncle still reading and writing?"

"My uncle is very studious. Young Master Zhou in the house has already slept like a pig at this time, or he is doing some unseemly things."

"My uncle is already the number one scholar, so why are you still reading and writing? He is so diligent. If my uncle works so hard, he will definitely become more successful in the future."

After the two girls were surprised, they blushed and bit their ears. They fantasized about their happy life in the uncle's backyard. They agreed to stay together in the backyard and take care of each other... longing for, imagining, and then happily. Fell asleep.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

In the dead of night, there was a sound of falling rain hitting the ground, and also hitting the window in the breeze, soaking the rice paper on the desk by the window. At this time, most of the rice paper was densely packed with half a page, and several outlines were vaguely visible: "Jiajing", "Yan Song", "Zhao Daying", "Xingbu"...

When a drop of rain hit Zhu Pingan's forehead, Zhu Pingan realized that it was raining outside. He put down his brush, stretched his waist, moved his wrist, and looked out the window. In the pitch-black night, I couldn't see the path of the rain clearly. I could only hear the sound of rain falling on the ground, leaves, flowers, and windowsills. The breeze was still there, bringing a dusty breath to my nose.

Rain washes the heaven and earth;

Presumably the world will be much cleaner tomorrow.

Close the window, complete the contents on the rice paper, check for any gaps, and go over it again. Remember every point you have written, then fold the rice paper and put it close to the candle to light it. Hold a corner and watch the rice paper burn until Only when it almost burned my fingers did I throw it to the ground.

This piece of paper cannot be seen by others...

After burning all the oil, he took the oil lamp to the bedroom and placed it on the table. After washing for a while, he took off his clothes, put out the lamp cap with a lamp cap, and lay down on the bed to sleep quietly.

The next day, the rain had stopped and the sky was getting slightly brighter. Zhu Pingan had already gotten up and washed up. There was an official uniform, official hat and other accessories hanging beside the bed.

When we arrived in the capital, it was time for the Ministry of Punishment to go.

While Zhu Ping'an was washing up, there were already several Jin Yiwei waiting outside the door of Yan's Mansion. The majestic Jin Yiwei in the past were like pugs after seeing a tiger, nodding and bowing and acting cute at Yan's Mansion. Waiting outside.

crunch

The side door of Yan's Mansion opened, and a man in his forties who looked like a butler walked out. He picked his teeth and walked out. He didn't look at the guards at the door, "What do you want?"
