Rise From the Humble

"However, Mr. Wang's memorial arrived in the capital five days ago, but was intercepted by Zhao Wenhua, the general affairs envoy. He reported it privately to Yan Song, and it was only sent to Xiyuan this morning. This left enough time for the old thief Yan Song to respond." Wang Shizhen said At this point, he was very angry and extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of Yan Song's party members.

Zhu Ping'an gently patted Wang Shizhen on the shoulder, asking him to calm down a little, and be careful that walls have ears.

Zhao Wenhua, the general envoy, is Yan Song's godson, the backbone of the Yan Party, and Yan Song's capable general. Although the general envoy was only of the third rank, he was extremely important. All memorials to Jiajing from various places had to go through him.

The reason why Zhu Pingan's memorial arrived at Xiyuan so quickly through the General Affairs Office last time was a coincidence. It was just after the Jiajing Zhai Festival, and officials everywhere were singing praises. Zhu Pingan's memorial was mixed in with the memorials singing praises, allowing Tongzheng to The left and right counselors were negligent; and Zhao Wenhua, who was the top official of the General Affairs Department at that time, received instructions from Yan Song and was working overtime to write Qing Ci. The left and right counselors were his trusted subordinates. Seeing that they passed, he worked overtime to write Qing Ci. Zhao Wenhua said so, and Zhu Ping'an's memorial passed.

It was precisely because of Zhu Ping'an's memorial that all the general officials and officials learned a lesson. From then on, every memorial, regardless of whether it was big or small, had to be reviewed by two people.

Therefore, Wang Zongmao's memorial was discovered by the clerk of the General Affairs Department at the first time and reported to Zhao Wenhua immediately. Zhao Wenhua also reported it to Yan Song immediately.

"Master Wang wrote the letter with determination to die. After he submitted the letter, he went to the coffin and laid out a thin coffin." Zhang Siwei sighed and said slowly, sighing at Wang Zongmao's character.

Go ahead to dangers.

Wang Zongmao had been an official for many years, so he must have a clear understanding of the process of submitting memorials. Zhao Wenhua, the general ambassador, was Yan Song's godson. This was no secret. Wang Zongmao could not have known it, but he still resolutely submitted the memorial.

Wang Zongmao’s memorial was definitely not for the sake of being famous in history, but because of his sense of responsibility. As his memorial said: “I also have a fortune, I would rather not cherish it, but dare to commit the wrath of the ninth level and provoke the power of the prime minister? I sincerely want to receive the favor of the country in this world. , I can’t bear to see my ancestors and the world fall into disgrace at the hands of the thief Song.”

In this regard, Zhu Pingan sighed to himself.

At least he didn't dare to impeach Yan Song at this time. He was like a moth to a flame, but he didn't have the courage yet. Now Yan Song is like a big tree in the sky, with a thick trunk and a well-developed root system, but he is just a seedling, so how can an earthworm shake the big tree?

In modern times, I am just an ordinary grassroots person who cannot be more ordinary, and I can't leave much trace on the times even if I try my best.

It is a wonderful and unique chance that I can come to this Ming Dynasty and have the opportunity to participate in the era. I have always been grateful to be able to come to this Ming Dynasty at this intersection, and I am even more ambitious. Not only do I want to To live alone, I not only want to have good food and clothing, and be looked up to by thousands of people, but I also want to make my own contribution to this era, to all living beings in this era, to the Ming Dynasty, to the people, and to the Chinese nation.

"Zihou, the second thing is about the Ministry of Punishment's petition." Wang Shizhen looked at Zhu Ping'an worriedly, with a serious and worried look on his face, "I heard the news from Li Panlong, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, that the Ministry of Punishment's petition must be made in advance. ”

"Okay, Vincent, this is good news. I finally didn't disappoint." Zhu Pingan grinned heartlessly.

good news? !

Hearing this, Wang Shizhen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, her face was a little twitching, she looked at Zhu Ping'an dumbfounded, speechless, "Zihou, Zihou, you are so..."

Zhang Siwei reached out and rubbed the back of his head, also looking like he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Zihou, aren't you worried? I heard that Zhao Daying went to Yan's Mansion in the rain last night and prepared two carts of generous gifts. The Ministry of Punishments made the submission in advance. It was clearly the Yan party who was harboring evil intentions. He acted vigorously and resolutely and impeached all those who dared to impeach Yan. Everyone in the party has been punished, this is to scare the monkeys and scare everyone, so that people will not dare to impeach again." Wang Shizhen said with hatred that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Don't worry, what I'm impeaching is only Zhao Daying for killing a good person and taking merit. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and it's not just based on rumors. Justice rests in the hearts of the people." Zhu Pingan comforted the two of them softly, not worried at all about the upcoming petition to the Ministry of Punishment.

"Zihou."

Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen looked helpless, as if they were the ones making the complaint to the Ministry of Punishment, but Zhu Pingan was fine.

Not long after the three of them stood there, the steward of Linhuai Marquis Mansion and Liu Dadao came over and handed Zhu Ping'an an official document from the Ministry of Punishment, saying that it was just sent to the house by officials from the Ministry of Punishment. The old lady ordered them to do it as quickly as possible. Pass to Zhu Pingan.

The official document from the Ministry of Punishment clearly stated that Zhu Ping'an should go to the Ministry of Punishment to make a statement today without any mistakes.

"Ah, how could it be so soon?" Wang Shizhen was surprised. Although he knew it would be early, he didn't expect it to be so early.

"It seems that Party Yan really wants to scare everyone with the power of thunder." Zhang Siwei was worried.

"Then I'll go to the Ministry of Justice first, and we'll meet up another day." Zhu Ping'an folded the official documents from the Ministry of Justice and put them in his arms, smiled slightly, and bid farewell to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen with his hands in his hands. His tone sounded like he was going to the Ministry of Justice to have breakfast. Relaxed and casual.

"Zihou." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhu Pingan comforted the two of them.

"How can I rest assured? Hey, I'll go find Li Panlong. Besides, my father has some connections in the Ministry of War, so I'll give it a try." Wang Shizhen was worried about Zhu Pingan. After seeing the official document from the Ministry of Punishments, he was even more anxious than Zhu Pingan. Before Zhu Pingan left for the Criminal Department, Wang Shizhen left in a hurry.

"My uncle used to be the head of the Criminal Department in his early years, and he still has some connections. I will pay him a visit right now." Zhang Siwei also followed Wang Shizhen.

Well

Zhu Ping'an looked at the two people's turbulent backs and touched his forehead. Why are you more anxious than me? Forget it, let's treat them to dinner another day.

"Master, I have caused trouble for you." Liu Mu and Liu Dadao came to Zhu Pingan, feeling guilty, thinking that they had caused trouble to Zhu Pingan.

"What are you talking about? It's Zhao Daying who is at fault, not you. You are the victims." Zhu Pingan patted them on the shoulders hard, and then told the two of them, "I will go to the Criminal Department first, and you will go back to the Hou Mansion first. Call Sledgehammer and the others, take all the things I told you before, and wait for news from me at the Penal Department Yamen."

"Young Master, let me go with you and let the sword go to the house." Liu Mu asked.

Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, "This place is very close to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. Don't worry about me. It's not appropriate for you to come forward now. Just wait outside for my news."
