Domineering Daming

Zhou Weijing was the prefect of Yingtian Mansion before, and before that, he was transferred as the chief envoy of Zhejiang. He is very familiar with Zhejiang.

As a witness and participant of the restructuring of Nanzhili, he is full of confidence in the restructuring of Zhejiang.

Originally, Zhu Xu planned to let Fu Zonglong be the governor of Liangjiang, but in the end it was Sun Chengzong's proposal to transfer Wang Yongguang, which also gave the former Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing a second chance in his future.

Both of these two came with strong "ambition" and vowed to do a good job for the emperor, King Jing.

Inside the governor's office.

The lobby was full, and there were more than 30 people present here, including political counselors and prefects from all over the country.Zhou Weijing was extremely proud, anyway, this was his old department in Zhejiang.

These people are very excited, not to mention that Zhou Weijing is already the governor, the person who registered in front of the emperor, but his mission this time, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is to follow the example of Nanzhili's restructuring, and if he wants to continue to be an official, he must Ingratiate yourself with the old man in front of you!

Huang Dezhong, former Zhejiang Zuo Counselor, looked at Zhou Weijing eagerly, and said: "My lord, since I knew you were coming, I have already prepared the food and wine. You must reward me."

Li Jiuchi, the prefect of Hangzhou, also raised his hand, and said with a smile: "My lord, the magistrate, Xiaguan, was recommended by you. Why don't you stay at the Xiaguan's mansion tonight, it can be regarded as a cleansing for you."

There is also a secretary of the Chasi here, named Li Dongxu. His eyes are as small as a mouse, and he has been observing Zhou Weijing's expression. Disadvantages, I am deeply distressed and helpless, I have sorted out the strategy book, if you have spare time, you can go to the procuratorate, and I will explain it to you in detail."

One of Zhou Weijing's tasks is to merge the administration, according to the second department of the inspection, his eyes lit up when he heard it, stroked his beard, and said with approval on his face: "Well, the government has been tedious for a long time, and the emperor and the court are deeply worried. Mr. Li understands righteousness deeply. Well, since the governor’s yamen was newly established, Mr. Li resigned himself to serving as a criminal officer for a period of time."

This is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank!

Li Dongxu was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, stood up with his expression unchanged, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xie for promoting, the lower officials are only worried about state affairs. In addition, many scholars from Zhejiang have joined the Fushe, and even threatened to expel the prefect of Hangzhou and attack the government, and have nothing to do with the bandits Different, please punish me severely."

Everyone listened, regretting in their hearts, the flattery was wrong, this Li Dongxu is a person with bright eyes, he needs to move around a lot.

Listening to Li Dongxu's words, Zhou Weijing's expression also changed slightly. He looked at him and said: "This matter is indeed no small matter. The princes of the court and the emperor are quite angry. The court's laws have always been fair and strict, and should not be slandered at will."

Li Dongxu was secretly happy, he felt the pulse of the new governor, and said with neither joy nor sadness on his face: "My lord, I have a plan."

Zhou Weijing was indeed worried about this matter in his heart, the Fushe mighty thousands of people, if he really had to deal with it ruthlessly, he was afraid that his governor's office would have to be moved to the governor's office to be safe.

He expressed a little hope to this humble little official, and said, "Say it."

Li Dongxu looked up at Zhou Weijing, and said: "As far as I know, the imperial court intends to abolish the imperial examination and implement the literary academy system, and all prefectures and counties must set up academies. You might as well establish academies first, select students, and at the same time issue an order to form associations." [-]. Those who form a party are not allowed to refer to it. In this way, the adults abide by the court laws and will not attract criticism. Second, the restoration of society and the like will also be self-defeating."

Zhou Weijing's eyes glowed when he heard it. This is indeed a good way. The most important thing is that he hides his sharpness, does not arouse the anger of Zhejiang scholars, and can disintegrate Fushe and Donglin quietly, allowing him to treat The imperial court has confessed, and it can also screen out Zhejiang officials and promote administrative reforms.

Get it in one fell swoop!

Zhou Weijing pondered for a while, then said: "Master Li, I will leave this matter to you!"

"It's my lord!" Li Dongxu looked calm, but there was a voice of generosity in his tone.

The governor's yamen's notice was posted quickly, and soon the government yamen also posted notices with exactly the same content.

This is like a whirlwind, quickly spreading throughout Zhejiang.

Whether it is Donglin or Fushe, what they do is "for the country and the people". The premise of "serving the country and the people" is to take the imperial examination and become an official.

The notice issued from the governor's office clearly pointed out that according to the imperial edict: "People who form associations and cliques" are not allowed to refer to the Academy of Arts, are not allowed to participate in martial arts, and are not allowed to be officials for life. This is to completely cut off their official careers!

As smart scholars, they thought of a way in the blink of an eye!

Chapter 408

Kuaiji Mountain.

The mountains and rivers are connected, the green trees are even shaded, the clear water and blue waves are picturesque.

Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others, together with famous prostitutes such as Wang Wei and Liu Mei, sat in a high pavilion, looking at the distant mountains and rivers, the breeze was blowing, and the piano and songs were dancing, so uncomfortable.

Due to the blockade of news in the capital, the news of the collapse of the Donglin Party has not yet spread to Zhejiang. Recently, they climbed mountains in the morning, drank in the afternoon, swam in the river in the evening, and stayed in brothels at night.

Zhang Pu drank a little too much, his face was flushed, he was in a wave, and he dragged his long sleeves. He sang there: "Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, there is no end to the magnificent autumn scenery. Talk about the Han tents of the Qin Palace, the silver tower of the Yaotai, and the long sword leaning on the sky and the fog. Outside, the precious light hangs on the side of the sun and dust! Clap your sleeves to the stars to adjust the universe, and the news rests. Dragons and tigers roar, Fengyun weeps, eternal hatred, according to the Huai River. , Luanyu stepping up the old Liaoyang tent. Smash the spit pot and ask the toad, why is the circle missing?"

Wang Wei and other famous prostitutes did not disobey, and sat down beside the piano with a high voice, and the sonorous and powerful music rang out, filling the pavilion, and bursts of cheers sounded.

After a long while, Zhang Pu stopped, sat on the stone bench, looked at Wang Wei, and said with a red face, "It's a joke of Mr. Wang."

Wang Wei was dressed in men's attire and looked like a man. He said: "Brother Zhang, why should you be humble? This is true temperament. If the princes in the court were half as big as Brother Zhang, why would the world be like this!"

Liu Mei and Wang Wei also wore similar attire, white Confucian shirt and long scarf hanging in front of their bodies, and said: "The current situation is corrupt, and you are ignorant, Brother Zhang, don't be discouraged, you should work hard, high school in the future, ascend to a high position, But once you wash off your dispirited look, you will be able to see the world again!"

Hearing the words of the two "beauties", Zhang Pu felt rather proud, and sighed with shame on his face: "You two virtuous brothers laughed at me. I have little talent and learning, and I have failed many times. With today's court situation, I want to Zhongdi, Difficult Difficult Difficult!"

Wang Wei looked at Zhang Pu's gray face, straightened his pretty face, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, don't be discouraged, the more you do this, the more you should work hard! Younger sister is not as educated as Brother Zhang, and she doesn't have much. I do have some silver taels, and I would like to use it for brother Zhang to rush for the exam!"

Wang Wei knew about Zhang Pu's family background, he was a concubine and was not valued very much, so his money was very tight, this was a tactful help.

Zhang Cai watched from the side, jealousy flashed in his eyes.

Wang Wei didn't take out any money now, which means that Zhang Pu is going to spend the night in her small building at night!

Zhang Pu knew Wang Wei's personality well, so he deliberately said what he said just now. Seeing that Wang Wei had caught the trick, he was overjoyed, but he waved his hands again and again and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu doesn't lack these, what is missing is a Lang Lang. Qiankun, what is missing is a Qingming and prosperous age!"

Wang Wei listened to his words, his face became more and more admiring, and he said firmly: "Little sister is humble and cannot enter the door of the Zhang family. If brother Zhang doesn't take it, the younger sister will wait outside the door of the Zhang family every day!"

Zhang Pu gave a wry smile, and took a sip of his wine in suspense, a smile flickered on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Mei is different from Wang Wei. Wang Wei has real talents and learning, and he has traveled around West Lake and Qinhuai for a long time. His reputation is resounding and brilliant.

She shamelessly followed Wang Wei just to raise her status.Seeing that Wang Wei put Zhang Pu under her skirt, she looked at Zhang Cai with frowning eyes, and said softly, "Elder brother, don't give up either. A true gentleman is not afraid of difficulties."

Zhang Cai liked Wang Wei quite a lot in his heart. After looking at Liu Mei carefully, he found that he was also a seductive and romantic person. He smiled brightly in his eyes and said, "What I said is that today we only talk about Fengyue, not about other things. ,drink wine!"

Several people also had this intention, singing heartily and talking about poems and songs.

Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and the style of writing is like a tide, extravagant and picturesque.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a servant rushed up, pulled Zhang Pu who was half drunk, and said anxiously: "Master, wake up, master, something serious happened, master asked me to take you back!"

Most of Zhang Pu's wine sobered up in an instant. He was very afraid of his uncle, who not only controlled his "money", but also determined his future. Looking at this young man, he said, "What happened? Did uncle say anything?"

The young man glanced at the others, seeing that they were all acquaintances, and said impatiently: "Master, while walking, he said, the other young masters should go back quickly, something serious has happened."

When Zhang Cai, Wang Wei and others heard this, they surrounded him curiously, asking the boy to clarify.

The boy knew the seriousness of the matter, and while pulling Zhang Pu away, he said: "Young masters, go back quickly. The governor's office has issued an announcement saying that the imperial court will abolish the imperial examination and implement the system of literary colleges. Anyone who forms an association or a party Never log in!"

When they heard this, their faces changed drastically, and they went home quickly without caring about what to say to the servant.

Wang Wei and Liu Mei were also anxious, but it was useless to go back, they stood for a while, and each went to the familiar "sisters" for advice.

Zhang Pu hurried back to the mansion. An old man with white beard and hair was sitting in the lobby with a cane beside him. There were more than 20 people, old and young, standing on both sides of the lobby.

The Zhang family has been an official for generations. The old man sitting in the main hall is named Zhang Fuzhi. He is 81 years old this year.
