Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven Courage

Qiu Luan's life can be described in one word - helpless. This brother is a hereditary marquis, and this title is not easy to come by. His predecessor, Mr. Qiu Yue, ran around, conquered the north and south, and after quelling the rebellion of King Anhua, he went to the suburbs of Beijing to fight against Liu Liu. , Liu Qi (peasant uprising), and was finally assigned to stand guard on the border to enjoy the wind, so he got this long-term meal ticket. Qiu Luan took over the title, and wanted to do a good job at first, but he was helpless, he was really not that material.Guarding Gansu, dereliction of duty and going to jail, guarding Datong, relying on negotiations, guarding Beijing, still negotiating.

This is no longer a simple problem of attitude, but a problem of ability. Mr. Qiu has proved by facts that he is a useless waste to the end. Of course, in fact, occasionally Qiu Luan wanted to rise up once in a while, and he had tried it before. For example, in the 31st year of Jiajing (1552), he led an army out of the fortress, and encountered the enemy when he passed a place called Maoerzhuang.Qiu Luan took part in the battle calmly. Under his wise command, the battle ended with the Ming army killing more than 200 people and wounding 220 people. Afterwards, Qiu Luan proudly reported to the court to ask for credit, because he thought his military exploits were quite outstanding-beheading five enemies.

People are so cheap that they are invincible in the world. But this humble brother was lucky. After the "Gengshu Incident", he who should be held accountable the most escaped and was named a general. The emperor also trusted him very much. Qiu Luan, who is so beautiful, became more and more arrogant, and even Yan Song was ignored. When he saw him, he dared to shout and drink. Hong, she couldn't afford to offend her no matter what, so she could only swallow her anger. The political arena is just like the stock market, a skyrocketing rise is bound to plummet. When Qiu Luan was playing prestige, Gao Gong was working as a teacher in the East Palace, Zhang Juzheng was still cleaning the new unit, and the other four top experts were all pretending to be grandsons. The idiot's qualifications are so arrogant because he doesn't understand the first principle of officialdom - stability.

Instability is bound to be bad luck, brother Qiu Luan's bad luck will come soon. Although he is already a great minister, he cannot retire honorably. After all, he is a military commander, and he has to go back to work hard after being praised.But brother Qiu is too weak, always being chased by Al Da on the border, in order to get it done once and for all, he creatively puts forward the proposal of the horse market. This proposal fully proves that Mr. Qiu Luan does not have the eyes of an eagle and the speed of a leopard, but he has the brains of a pig. The so-called horse market means that Ming Dynasty will give me goods, and I will give Ming Dynasty horses. It looks fair, but it is actually a kind of blackmail, because Qiu Luan has no strength. Open your mouth, and if you don't give it, you will be beaten, and Mr. Qiu's front teeth were knocked out, so he can only swallow it.

What made him even more unexpected was that brother An Da had no education, and he didn't know how to write the word honesty. Although he signed the contract, he never executed it. nor rest. The border became more and more chaotic, more and more belongings were lost, and the situation was out of control. Qiu Luan became dizzy and seriously ill.However, this dear man is still sane during his illness, and Jiang Yingkui, the servant of the Ministry of War, was ordered to temporarily hold the seal of the general, and he was so ill that he was half dead, but he still delayed it. Repudiation is temporary, and soon, he will hand over his life along with it.

Soon he received the emperor's decree, the full meaning of which was concise and to the point - Confiscate military power and return to Beijing to await trial! What surprised him even more was that according to the insider report, the person who complained to the emperor turned out to be Xu Jie, who was promoted with him and had a close relationship with him. Qiu Luan was sick, so he almost died, and went to the underworld to negotiate with Lord Yama. General Qiu didn't know that in Xu Jie's eyes, he was just a piece of fat.Xu Shangshu has always been kind to people, and the more he hates, the more amiable he is.The degree of courtesy Qiu Luan received was second only to Master Yan Song.

The reason why Xu Jie wanted to get rid of Qiu Luan was because this guy was too hateful, he pretended to ask for rewards and harmed the country even though he knew nothing, and he was also one of the accomplices who killed Xia Yan back then, so it was no problem. And more importantly, defeating Qiu Luan can obtain more capital, not only can win the trust of the emperor, but also increase prestige, win over all officials, and strengthen one's own political power. So Xu Jie, who had made up his mind, saw the right time, and took out Gansu's dereliction of duty, Datong negotiations, and Beijing's conspiracy in one breath, and settled the general account.

Jiajing was extremely angry, and immediately ordered Qiu Luan to return to Beijing to explain the problem and confiscated his military power. There was also Yan Song who was staring at Qiu Luan. When he learned that Qiu Luan had lost power, he immediately called for Lu Bing, ready to deal with Qiu Luan in one fell swoop. Lu Bing deserves to be the No. 1 Jinyiwei, and his work efficiency is extremely high. With the efforts of Jinyiwei's secret agents, all the bad things that Mr. Qiu Luan has done from childhood to adulthood have been dug out. Not included. Yan Song, who had the winning ticket in his hands, visited Jiajing and told the above crimes in detail. Jiajing was furious and immediately issued an order:

Dig up Qiu Luan's body (he has died of illness at this time), cut off his head, and inspect the nine sides! Looking at the murderous emperor, Yan Song decided to strike while the iron was hot and use a sword to solve his inner troubles: "As far as I know, Xu Jie and Qiu Luan have a close relationship on a daily basis, His Majesty must investigate." But Yan Song never expected that the emperor who heard this sentence suddenly dispelled his anger and showed an uncertain expression. He took out the secret letter and handed it to Yan Song with a smile: "Look at it."

Yan Song opened the document and saw the eye-catching inscription - Xu Jie. Yan Song, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, chief assistant of the cabinet, and young teacher, was finally afraid. He shivered, handed in the memorial tremblingly, and left with Jiajing's mocking smile. He already understood that the silent man, the humble official minister, the man who respected him was not a political upstart, let alone a speculator. He is an ambitious power careerist, and a master of tactics no less than himself.What he sought was not just the position of a minister or a cabinet bachelor, but his own position - the chief assistant of the cabinet.

He had to be wiped out completely, before he could take his place. It was later proved that Yan Song correctly judged Xu Jie's ability, but misjudged his purpose. Brother Xu wanted more than just his official position. Yan Song returned home and told the genius Yan Shifan of his intentions, but to his surprise, the one-eyed son actually told him not to confront Xu Jie openly. "why?" "He has become a climate and can't move." Yan Shifan really lived up to his talent. This conclusion is very accurate. At this time, Xu Jie is no longer what he used to be. His current full titles are: Minister of Rites, Bachelor of Dongge University, Prince Taifu (Cong Yipin), Cabinet Second Assistant Xu order. The second person under the Son of Heaven, the hero who defeated Qiu Luan, the emperor's close confidant (recently), those who are not afraid of death can give it a try. It is difficult to deal with, but not impossible. After analyzing the situation objectively, Yan Shifan came up with a countermeasure - suppression. After all, Yan Song is still the chief assistant, not only has the emperor's trust, but also has many accomplices and secret agents. As long as Xu Jie is kept in check and his actions are restrained, there is no need to go to war. When the limelight passes, this political upstart will will be completely killed. This strategy fully demonstrates Mr. Yan Shifan's level of struggle. Facts have proved that this soft-knife strategy is very effective. Xu Jie, who is soaring, has no opponents, and no one opposes him openly, but in the dark, there are countless pairs of eyes watching him. Follow his every move. What made him even more depressed was that, when dealing with court affairs, no matter what suggestions he put forward, they were always rejected unreasonably, and he had nothing to do in the face of all this. Because in the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, although the first assistant and the second assistant were both cabinet members, only the first assistant was the one who counted. It's not enough if you don't accept it, the official rank will crush you to death. Just going back and forth like this, Xu Jie was overwhelmed, and Yan Song couldn't kill them all, and the political situation entered a stalemate again. When Xu Jie tried his best to fight Yan Song to the death, the other five top masters performed differently. Xu Jie's greatest enemy is Yan Shifan. You must know that in the 31st year of Jiajing (1552), Mr. Yan was already in his seventies. Compared with Xu Jie, his ingenious planning and vicious methods all came from Yan Shifan. Without this one-eyed son, he would have been finished long ago. The most leisurely person is Yang Bo. He has temporarily left the political arena, and has been transferred to the left servant of the Ministry of War to work full-time in the military. However, this man has a person he hates the most in his life——Chou Luan. For this reason, he once collected materials and wrote a letter Mr. Qiu was impeached for 30 crimes (more than Lu Bing), and he hated the house and black. He never had a good impression of Yan Song and his group. Although in terms of personal feelings, he is biased towards Xu Jie, but that's all. Mr. Yang Bo is an old man in the officialdom, he knows that he is not strong enough, and he doesn't want to openly confront Yan Song.But in any case, he still supports Xu Jie (only on the spiritual level). The most angry person is Zhang Juzheng. After graduating from Shu Jishi, he was assigned to the Imperial Academy as an editor. The 20-year-old Hanlin official has become an angry youth in the standard sense. As a student of Xu Jie, he wrote to his teacher many times, hoping that he would stand up and fight against the strict party that destroyed the country and the people, but he never got a clear answer.He didn't understand Xu Jie, and he didn't understand himself: at this moment, he was just an insignificant little man, and the anger of the little man was useless. Compared with Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong is much smarter. Although he has just turned forty years old, although he looks taciturn, he is scheming, and the city is extremely deep. He is very clear about the struggle situation and the direction of the political situation. Among the six people, Only he is the real centrist. He neither relied on the dominant Yan Song nor the forbearing Xu Jie. Outside, the wind was high and the waves were high, but he remained motionless, because he had already found the magic weapon for ultimate victory in the intricate situation. In the 31st year of Jiajing (1552), Gao Gong, who had read poetry and books, left the Hanlin Academy and became the lecturer of King Yu. He worked very hard, taught King Yu attentively, and stayed with him day and night, winning the trust of King Yu. The reason for Gao Gong's dedication is very simple. Three years ago (the 28th year of Jiajing), the prince of Jiajing passed away, leaving only two sons - King Yu and King Jing. Both were born in the 16th year of Jiajing (1537), and King Yu was born one month earlier than King Jing. Contrary to many people's expectations, among the six people, the most troubled person is actually Lu Bing. In the eyes of many people, Lu Bing is Yan Song's minion, obeying the command of the strict party, but the actual situation is definitely not the case. In fact, Lu Bing's influence is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Not only is he thoughtful, shrewd and capable, he is also good at making friends in the court and has a wide network of contacts. What's more, the spy leader who holds the Jinyiwei in his hand is also undertaking an extremely secret mission. You know, Mr. Jiajing spent more than 20 years in a small black room making alchemy and never went to court, but he knew everything from the political situation of the court to ministers marrying concubines and visiting brothels. The key lies in Lu Bing. Under the leadership of this brother, Jin Yiwei stayed in bed day and night, scouting for gossip everywhere. He placed Jin Yiwei undercover in the mansions of important officials in the court, even Yan Song, Xu Jie and others were no exception. So every time Yan Song came to ask him for help, he was always very polite, and he had to give him gifts from time to time, lest he offend this great spy, and one day he had a whim and stuffed a few dragon robe weapons in his yard, and the trouble would be huge. big. He won the emperor's trust and mastered the privacy of the ministers, but the powerful Lu Bing was not a person who did many evil things. After becoming a famous family, Lu Bing received strict education since he was a child.And shortly after entering the officialdom, he made a judgment based on the most primitive criteria: Yan Song is a bad guy, and Xia Yan is a good guy. However, the reality is cruel. In the face of power and interests, he changed his original intention, conspired with Yan Song, and finally killed Xia Yan. Regarding this matter, Yan Song naturally felt at ease, but Lu Bing was ashamed of it and ashamed to mention it. Both Yan Song and Lu Bing are masters in economics, but their specific methods are quite different. Yan Song takes all the rich and the poor, and is suitable for all ages, while Lu Bing only targets the rich and unkind, and never embarrasses the poor, and he often gives money out To help some upright ministers, when the emperor is angry and wants to punish people, he will stand up to intercede and save them, and will never make trouble. It should be said that Lu Bing is generally a person with a conscience, but in the face of cruel political struggles and real interests, conscience is really not worth much. As the Yan Party grows stronger and the country's disasters become more and more serious, Lu Bing's position is constantly wavering, but as a vested interest, he still maintains a cooperative relationship with the Yan Party until the occurrence of the Shenlian Incident. Shen Lian is a Jin Yiwei.In the 17th year of Jiajing, he was a Jinshi and worked as a county magistrate for several years. After several twists and turns, he joined Jinyiwei and became Lu Bing's subordinate. Among the many Jin Yiwei, Shen Lian is a very peculiar person, he is upright, he hates evil as much as his enemy, he is obviously a secret agent, but he is more active than a speech officer, he often writes to discuss current affairs.Generally speaking, it is difficult for people with this kind of personality to get along in the secret service, but what is even more peculiar is that the supreme officer Lu Bing actually admires his personality very much, and believes that he is a talent. At that time, Shen Lian's experience in Jinyiwei was just a grassroots cadre in Jinyiwei, and he didn't have any special features, so he couldn't find it if he threw it into the crowd, but the facts proved that Lu Bing's vision was right, and Shen Lian was indeed extraordinary. people. In "The Change of Geng Shu", he made his debut for the first time. At that time, Alta besieged the city and demanded tribute, and the so-called tribute letter was of the same nature as the blackmail letter, with arbitrarily worded words and extremely rude. However, when the emperor ordered the ministers to discuss the issue of paying tribute, only Siye Zhao Zhenji (a disciple of the king's family) stood up and expressed his opposition. Before the cabinet's opinion was issued, the rest of the old foxes remained silent. It was in this silence that Shen Lian stood up and publicly supported Zhao Zhenji's opinion. The appearance of Shen Lian surprised everyone, but Xia Bangmo, the minister of the official department who had been beaten to death before, suddenly jumped out at this moment, and asked in a sarcastic tone: "Do you have any officials?" The meaning of this is very clear: what kind of fart officer are you, how can you speak for yourself! Shen Lian replied calmly and loudly: "I have experienced a heavy chain from the seventh-rank Jinyiwei. If you adults don't say anything, I will speak up for you!" The awe-inspiring righteousness shook the world. The second-rank Shangshu had no face to face the experience of the seventh-rank, and retreated in shame. Shen Lian conquered the people present with his outspoken words, and also won the respect of Lu Bing.Afterwards, Lu Bing arranged for Shen Lian to be his personal attendant, accompanying him in and out of various places. Lu Bing did this not only to show his respect, but also to protect this straightforward subordinate from causing trouble outside. But he never expected that this arrangement would lead to even greater troubles, because the place he frequented was Yan Song's home. Shen Lian's nature is upright, and he has to step in when encountering small villains and villains. His eyes can't tolerate sand, not to mention Yan Song's huge granite, so every time he goes to the corrupt official Yan Song's house for dinner, he always "Not angry", in today's words, is unhappy, not only unsmiling, but also fought a few battles with Yan Shifan.But he was Lu Bing's man after all, and Yan's father and son didn't dare to do anything to him. However, things intensified in the end. After witnessing the humiliation of the "Gengshu Revolution" and the tragedy of the destruction of the people's homes, Shen Lian finally couldn't bear it anymore. After being drunk once, he angrily wrote the famous letter, enumerating Yan Song's ten major crimes. , spurting out the anger from the bottom of my heart: "Scholar Song, the greedy nature is dying, and the stupid heart is stubborn to iron!" So the gods couldn't keep him anymore. The ending of Shen Lian once again proved Yan Song's great influence on the emperor. As soon as the document was sent up, the decree came down: Jin Yiwei Shen Lian, sentenced to stick punishment, and sent to live outside Juyong Pass. After hearing the news, Lu Bing was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to run to see Shen Lian off. Looking at this subordinate who is about to be dispatched to the frontier, Lu Bing sighed for a long time: "Why are you doing this?" However, Shen Lian, who was wounded by the rod and had nothing left, still raised his head: "Sweep away the evil, the law of heaven!" Looking at the thin but resolute back, Lu Bing let out a final sigh: "I'm not as good as Shen Lian!" In the face of the brave Jinyiwei from the seventh rank, Lu Bing from the first rank Shaobao, the concurrent prince and Taifu, and the governor of the left, is a weak man. Six years later, at the instigation of Yan Shifan, Shen Lian was killed in the Xuanfu. His two sons, Shen Gun and Shen Bao, were also imprisoned and beaten to death in order to exterminate the grass. For the huge strict party, this incident was just a small disturbance, and Shen Lian's futile efforts could not change anything. However, this futile effort is a proof of the fearlessness of an ordinary person. The ordinary name of Shen Lian has been engraved in the annals of history and will never be erased. He doesn't need to change anything, because his bravery speaks for itself. The brave Shen Lian died, and the cowardly Lu Bing was still alive. He still valued his own interests, unwilling and afraid to fight against that terrible force.But he was still deeply touched. Before he knew it, he had quietly changed his position and taken a crucial step in another direction. The political situation in the 31st year of Jiajing (1552) was like this. Everyone knows that Yan Song is greedy and corrupt, and the strict party is a disaster for the country, but everyone also knows that Yan Song is treacherous and cunning, and the strict party power is powerful. If you oppose it, you will suffer. . The reason why Shen Lian's move can be recorded in history is because he is the only one. After all, most people are animals of interest, so the strict party has more and more members, and its power is growing, while the forbearing Xu Jie is still the same. endured. For Yan Song, the 31st year of Jiajing was a good year. The emperor practiced Taoism with peace of mind and completely entrusted state affairs to him. He was defeated, and his only opponent, Xu Jie, was also crushed helplessly. No one will dare to fight against me again.This is Yan Song's most confident moment. However, he was wrong. He didn't have to wait long. He would face the most violent attack since he entered politics, and this attack was the first death knell on the road to his downfall. Just like the previous Shen Lian, the initiator of this attack is also a small person, but in the history of the Ming Dynasty, this small person has a daunting title. The twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547) was an extremely unusual year, the special feature of which was the imperial examination in that year. Because in the list of admissions for the Jinshi examination, there are several names: Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang, Yin Shizhan, and Wang Shizhen. Needless to say, Zhang Juzheng, Li Chunfang and Yin Shizhan were later important cabinet ministers and influential figures, and this Mr. Wang Shizhen is worth mentioning. This person is the leader of the "Later Seven Sons" in the Ming Dynasty, leading the literary world for more than 20 years , no one can compare, and what is even more legendary is that it is said that he has nothing to do when he has nothing to do. He once wrote a book with the title of the book. Of course, Mr. Wang Shizhen is only one of the suspected authors of this book, but this person has such a great reputation and far-reaching influence that it can be said to shock the world. And when the Xinke Scholars lined up neatly and strode out of the Daming Gate with glory and smiles, these four brothers were occupying the most glorious positions in the front row. They were able to walk in front of the team because they had enough capital. Li Chunfang was the number one scholar in that subject, Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shizhan were both top two, and they were good scholars.Not to mention Wang Shizhen, his father, Wang Ying, is the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a second-rank official.In the eyes of people at that time, this was a group of people who were destined to make great achievements and leave their names in history. However, at the back of that team, there was a taciturn person. Compared with the four in front, this person was really not worth mentioning. His family was poor, he had no background, and his test scores were average. Speaking of which, the ultimate fate of this type of person is to be dispatched as a county magistrate, or to mix up positions in the Six Departments, struggling through qualifications until retirement. History likes to joke, but this person who was ignored by everyone eventually became an out-and-out great man. When he was forgotten, almost all history textbooks recorded his name, and his brilliance was comparable only to Zhang Juzheng. Yang Jisheng, even after another five hundred years, this name will still shine in the annals of history. Yang Jisheng, courtesy name Zhongfang, was born in Rongcheng, Hebei Province, born in the fifth year of Zhengde (1510), and his family was very poor. Yang Jisheng is not only poor, but also very miserable, because when he was seven years old, his mother passed away, and his father was not idle, so he found a stepmother for him. Unfortunately, this stepmother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and lacks the spirit of fraternity. , did not treat him as a son, only let him do handyman. In a difficult childhood, Yang Jisheng began to grow up. The main job of the child laborer Yang Jisheng is to herd cattle. He has no love from his parents, no pocket money, and he will be beaten if he makes a mistake. However, Yang Jisheng has no choice but to live like this day by day. Suddenly one day, when he was leading the cow home, he said this sentence to his family: "I want to read." In the Ming Dynasty when there was no Hope Project, this sentence was basically a joke to Yang Jisheng's family. There is no money in the family, even if there is, it is not your turn. Yang Jisheng's brother immediately gave him a contemptuous reply: "How old are you and what books are you reading?" "I can herd cattle, but can't I read?" A stubborn voice replied. However, stubbornness could not solve the problem, and Yang Jisheng was still unable to go to school, but under his insistence, his parents finally allowed him to attend a private school, but only if he had to do his job well (herding cattle). So every day after the cattle herding, Yang Jisheng would tie the cattle in front of the school, and then stand outside the window, or hide in the corner, enduring the contemptuous eyes of the students who had paid the tuition, and listened carefully to the class. For him, this is already a luxury. After standing for six years, Yang Jisheng's enthusiasm finally moved his parents, so they sent their thirteen-year-old son to a private school.Here Yang Jisheng studied hard, lived up to expectations, and passed the examinations of scholar and Juren successively. But Juren Yang Jisheng is still a poor man. Although he no longer needs to pay taxes, he does not know how to make money, and his life is still difficult. In order to save money and prepare for the exam, he entered the Imperial College with state subsidies. Here, he met Xu Jie, the kind principal of Guozijian (jiujiu). As in the past, Xu Jie carefully visited each student, but of course, as in the past, he did not remember most of them. Yang Jisheng is one of the most neglected people. As an ordinary supervisor of the Imperial College, he has no bureaucratic background, nor does he have a bright future, so naturally he has no reason to be remembered by Xu Jie. But Xu Jie did not expect that ten years later, this poor and unremarkable student would sacrifice his life to open the door of victory for him. In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be promoted, you have to take an exam, but this test is too difficult. The bureaucratic children can't bear the hardship, so they have to find another way. To inherit the hereditary official position of their father, they must wait until the father dies or retires. It is not very reliable. So Guozijian became the best choice, because Jiansheng can directly become an official. Although the number of places is very small, it is better than nothing. So Yang Jisheng became a lonely alien in the Guozijian where the bureaucratic children gathered. His classmates were extravagant and extravagant, but Yang Jisheng could only study every day and go to bed on time. But Yang Jisheng has never been ashamed of himself, he believes in his own ability, and he doesn't need to rely on anyone. When the children of the rich and powerful fought for those pitiful places, Yang Jisheng won the imperial examination in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547) and became a Jinshi. Yang Jisheng's luck was really mediocre. He was assigned to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials in Lengyamen and became the head of the sixth rank.Compared with his classmates, he has neither the bright prospect of a good scholar, nor the benefits of a magistrate. However, Yang Jisheng didn't complain, he just worked silently and hard. He is not a smart person, at least far worse than Zhang Juzheng. Although he is very hardworking, hard work can never make up for talent.He lacks a big picture, doesn't know how to engage in relationships with colleagues, doesn't know how to form cliques, and his ability in government affairs is average. He is very aware of his ability, but he doesn't take it seriously, because for him who came from a poor background, all this is enough. Although the world is very complicated and the officialdom is very cunning, it is very simple for Yang Jisheng, because there is only one way for him to be an official: serve the country and show compassion for the people. This is the catchphrase and slogan that most new officials must shout. Many people shouted louder than him, but they didn't remember it. Yang Jisheng remembered it, and he did it.As a child of a poor family, he is very contented and grateful. All he expects is to do a few things for the country and the people in a down-to-earth manner. Therefore, after the "Gengxu Revolution", when General Qiu wanted to open the "horse market" to compromise again, Yang Jisheng immediately stood up and angrily wrote a letter against the horse market. Qiu Luan was very annoyed, so he sued Yang Jisheng for a black case, imprisoned him, demoted him and sent him to Didao, a remote area. Didao is very desolate, where ethnic minorities live together. The locals don't like reading, they only like to make troubles. Being an official here is basically equivalent to reform through labor. However, Yang Jisheng has no fear, because he is a simple person, living a simple life in a simple way. He ate simple food, lived in a simple house, taught local people how to read and write, settled disputes, and took nothing or money. Even the villagers in barbaric lands were influenced by him, and everyone called him "Father Yang". Those who live above the temple and are far away from the rivers and lakes, who are concerned about their people, can be officials. Soon after, Qiu Luan's conspiracy was defeated. Jiajing remembered Yang Jisheng's faithful advice and ordered him to return to office. Yang Jisheng, who was sitting in a helicopter, hadn't reached the top yet, and soon he returned to the capital. This time, his post was in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. The poorest part of the Ministry of War is the Staff Party Division, and the richest is undoubtedly the Military Selection Division.Military generals can be promoted and relegated with a flick of a pen in their hands, and they are free and rich, fat as hell. The reason why Yang Jisheng, who has no background, was able to get this position was entirely because of Yan Song's recommendation. The reason why Yan Song recommended Yang Jisheng was not because he appreciated his integrity and selflessness, but because Qiu Luan was his enemy, and Yang Jisheng once opposed Qiu Luan. In his opinion, the enemy of the enemy is his friend. But Yan Song didn't know that on Yang Jisheng's enemy list, Qiu Luan was only ranked second, and the first place was always reserved for his old man. Yan Song thought that he could take advantage of the conflict between Yang Jisheng and Qiu Luan, buy this person with his official position and interests, and take him for his own use, but he was wrong because he didn't know Yang Jisheng well. This is a person who has no personal enmity. He only has public anger in his heart. Even if he is punished personally, as long as it is beneficial to the country, he will have no complaints. This is the so-called impartiality. Yan Song, who is selfish and selfish, naturally cannot understand this kind of character. He is waiting for the new party to join him at home, but he did not expect that the road to destruction has already opened. When Yan Song was full of self-confidence, Yang Jisheng had already seen the truth of the matter. The good things that have passed can be described as too many to write (it’s not that they can’t be written down, but it’s not easy to find), and he has himself in his heart, but there is no world. So Yang Jisheng decided to impeach this person. In the Ming Dynasty, impeachment was commonplace. For example, if you find someone disliked, you can file a letter of impeachment. If you have a grudge against someone, you can file a letter of impeachment. If political struggle requires it, you can file a letter of impeachment. If you have nothing to do, you can also file a letter of impeachment. Impeach.The reasons for impeachment are also various, such as not paying attention to personal hygiene, not wearing the right clothes, not wearing the belt properly, and being ugly. In this environment, officials in the Ming Dynasty had already developed a habit. It would be extremely abnormal for an official to reach the third-rank deputy ministerial level if there were not more than a dozen bullets in the file. You impeach me, I impeach you, happy days go by day after day, and those who have not been impeached once for decades are not humans, but gods. In an era when impeachment is like eating and dressing, the ordinary and inconspicuous Yang Jisheng has become famous forever because he used the most special method of impeachment—death impeachment. In many cases, impeachment is a political means to achieve a certain purpose. It is not easy for everyone to be an official in the same dynasty, and it is not easy to get fame. To impeach corruption, you will be less greedy next time. When impeaching etiquette, pay attention to your image , even if it is impeachment for poor looks, at most it is to go for plastic surgery, you come and go, respect each other as guests. And death impeachment is not a simple document, it is an attitude, a kind of determination. The crime of impeachment is a crime that can kill the other party. The object of impeachment is a person who can decide his own life and death. Knowing everything, saying everything, betting on life, risking death to be impeached, is impeachment for death. Death, either you die, or I die! If it weren't for disputes such as killing his father and taking his wife, no one would use this trick. Yan Song didn't kill Yang Jisheng's father, let alone rob his wife. On the contrary, he promoted Yang Jisheng and hoped that Take him under the door. However, Yang Jisheng rejected the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. He has made up his mind to impeach Yan Song to death. Yan Song is not his enemy, but he is still not angry, not angry about Xia Yan, not angry about the government situation, not angry about the people who died under the Mongolian saber, and not angry about the world! It is true for those who take the world as their own responsibility. It's not that he doesn't know the fate of doing so. Shen Lian's experience is right in front of him. It's not that no one has persuaded him. Tang Shunzhi, who is well versed in Wang Xue and familiar with the way of struggle, saw the signs in time. As Yang Jisheng's friend, he once wrote a letter advice: "May you pay attention, the immortal karma should finally be done by the deacon." As a direct disciple of Wang Xue's leftists (Nie Bao and Xu Jie belonged to the rightists), Tang Shunzhi was very aware of the political environment at that time, so he persuaded Yang Jisheng earnestly, hoping that Yang Jisheng would not stand out in order to avoid disaster. Yang Jisheng read the letter, but just smiled and didn't answer. There was only one thing left in his life. Before writing the impeachment letter, Yang Jisheng fasted for three days. This was the last free time in his life. The 42-year-old Yang Jisheng looked back on his past, from the poverty of his childhood to the pursuit of youth, the abuse of his stepmother, and the framing of Qiu Luan. Now he , is Wailang, a member of the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War, with a bright future and a great career. But now he is ready to give up everything to complete the great cause that must die. Because Yang Jisheng who herded cattle, Yang Jisheng who had gone through hardships, and Yang Jisheng who had seen all the darkness in the officialdom were still the same Yang Jisheng. Yang Jisheng in the dark is a pure person.Facing this suffocating darkness, he was powerless to resist, and could only utter that final cry. Although Yang Jisheng was not smart, he was not stupid either. He knew very well that what Tang Shunzhi said was right. Death impeachment is indeed not a good way, but he has no better way.He has no money, no power, no background of a noble man and no hope of joining the cabinet, let alone the wisdom of Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie.In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person from a farming family with ordinary talents. The only thing he has is his life. And he is also very clear about the process after impeachment, Yan Song's false accusation, Jin Yiwei's torture, long-term detention in imperial prison, and if he is lucky, there may be the executioner's sword.In such a terrifying environment, there is no need to expect a narrow escape, only ten deaths and no life. Yet he still decided to do so. Knowing that you can't succeed, knowing that you will die, you still act generously.Generally speaking, this kind of behavior has many names, such as stupidity, overreaching, moths to the flame, etc. In the eyes of Westerners, this is an incredible behavior that violates logic. In ancient Chinese philosophy, this behavior has an apt name: Knowing that it can't be done. I firmly believe that this is the soul of our great nation. Yang Jisheng has nothing to worry about. He picked up the pen and wrote down his grief and indignation on the spread paper: Chen Guzhi, the guilty minister Yang Jisheng, please take the ten major crimes of Song as your majesty Chen Zhi! When Yang Jisheng sealed up this ancient book and delivered it to the cabinet to Xiyuan, he had already completed a great transformation. After decades of trials and hardships, the poor peasant boy who used to herd cattle will eventually become an immortal hero. 就在嘉靖收到这封上疏后不久，消息灵通的严嵩便从皇帝的侍从那里得知了奏疏的内容。 面对这个从五品小官义正言辞的控诉，严嵩害怕了，他虽然是内阁首辅，虽然是皇帝的宠臣，却依然害怕这个来自最底层的无畏的声音。 而且根据多年的从政经验，他迅速作出了判断——这人是来玩命的。 但就在他惊惶不定的时候，独眼龙军师严世蕃又出场了，听完那慌不择言的讲述后，他却只是镇定地说了一句话： “奏疏在哪里，拿给我看。” 仔细阅览之后，严世蕃露出了笑容，他告诉自己那慌张的父亲，不用害怕，其实这是一个千载难逢的机会。 几乎就在严嵩知晓奏疏内容的同时，徐阶也知道了，这也是没办法，十六世纪是信息的时代，想在保住脑袋，混碗饭吃，就得时刻掌握朝廷的最新动态。 徐阶惊叹于杨继盛的勇气，他万没想到，当年那个沉默的学生竟然有如此的血性，如此的勇敢，孤军突起，去挑战那个他绝对无法战胜的对手。 他敬佩这个人，因为这个人做了连他都不敢去做的事情。 但很快，他就意识到一个严重的问题——危险已向自己逼近。 因为杨继盛是他的学生，而在那年头，师生关系就是政治关系，杨继盛上书，他虽然并不知情，却也绝对脱离不了关系。而目前政局敌强我弱，还远不到摊牌的时候，如此时与严党开战，必定功亏一篑。 徐阶坐卧不安，直到他拿到奏疏全文，这才松了一口气。 因为在这封奏疏的末尾，杨继盛还加上了这样一句话——“大学士徐阶蒙陛下特擢，乃亦每事依违，不敢持正，不可不谓之负国也”。 真糊涂也好，假聪明也罢，这句关键的话最终挽救了徐阶，保存了他的实力。 政坛的地震看似已经不可避免，严嵩惊慌失措，徐阶忐忑不安，而杨继盛却只是镇定自若，静候处理。 不过出人意料的是，在这件事情中，最为恐慌的并不是以上三位，而是另一个似乎毫不相关的人——高拱。 无论是严嵩还是徐阶，高拱都是以礼相待，所以这件事对高拱并没有太大的影响，然而就在他抱着看热闹的心态，打开奏疏的抄本，看到那句要人命的话时，顿如五雷轰顶，马上抄起文书去找徐阶。 他所看到的那句话，正是严世蕃所注意的那一句。 看着面无人色，气喘吁吁的高拱，徐阶十分纳闷，然而当他顺着高拱的指向，仔细研读那句话时，立刻意识到了问题的严重性。 这句让严世蕃笑颜逐开，让高拱吓破胆的话是这样写的——愿陛下听臣之言，察嵩之奸，或召问裕、景二王。 徐阶的脸白了，他很清楚，这是一句授人以柄的话，很容易被理解为裕王指使杨继盛，借攻击严嵩之名逼宫犯上，若被严党利用，后果不堪设想。 高拱之所以跑来找徐阶，原因在于他认为杨继盛是徐阶的学生，上书必定是徐阶指使，准备借此和严党决战。 而徐阶敢于摊牌，必然有着全盘计划，但无论你徐兄有何打算，也得给兄弟划个道出来，让我早有准备，免得无故遭殃。 然而徐阶诚恳地告诉他，自己并不知道这件事，也没有后着。 这下子高拱傻眼了，一直以来，裕王和严党的关系并不好，而皇帝宁可信任他身边的道士，也不愿相信自己的儿子，以严世蕃的智商，绝不会放过这个一网打尽的机会。 看着团团乱转的高拱，徐阶也是焦急万分，至少到目前为止，他们还算是某种程度上的盟友，裕王如果倒了，对他只有坏处没有好处。 但事已至此，又能如何？ 千钧一发，面对几近绝望的高拱，徐阶绞尽脑汁，终于想出了最后的办法： “事已至此，只能去找那个人了，听天由命吧。” 徐阶和高拱到底是政治老手，此时的严世蕃确实正打着裕王的主意，准备一箭双雕，借刀杀人。在他的指点下，严嵩把祸水引向了二王。 这个话题彻底触痛了嘉靖的神经，他立刻派人前去诏狱质问杨继盛（此时已经下狱）：与二王有何种关系，为何要引出二王？ 杨继盛虽然耿直，却并不笨，他意识到了问题中隐含的巨大风险，大声答道： “除了二王，朝中还有人不怕严嵩吗？！” 听到答案的嘉靖这才松了口气，但危机还远未结束，因为严世蕃先生从来就不是一个理想主义者，他也从未期盼杨继盛会头脑发热，主动配合。事实上，他的计划才刚刚开始。 严世蕃深知，虽然朝中严党势力庞大，但要想除掉杨继盛，拉裕王下水，必须借助另一个人的力量，而对于那个人，他是有把握的。 算盘打得确实不错，可惜他的对手是徐阶。 据说在象棋中，能看到后两步的就是高手，看到后三手以上的就是大师水平，而在政治这种特殊的游戏中，徐阶是当之无愧的特级大师。他不但算出了严世蕃的企图，还算准了他的预定目标。 于是在严世蕃动手之前，他抢先一步，找到了那个关键的人——陆炳。 杨继盛和裕王的命运，就握在陆炳的手中。因为这位仁兄不但是特务头子，还是詔狱的监狱长，在监狱里做点手脚，搞份假口供，然后派出个把锦衣卫，深更半夜栽赃一下裕王，是再简单不过的事情。 陆炳是严党的同盟，无论如何，他没有拒绝严世蕃的理由，然而徐阶依然登门拜访了，抱着姑且一试的心态。 因为他相信自己的判断——陆炳还是一个有良心的人，更重要的是，他已没有别的方法。 面对陆炳这样的老江湖，讲客套或是谈交情，无异于是自取其辱，徐阶开门见山： “此事不宜牵涉过广，望三思而行。” 陆炳看着徐阶，沉默不语。 他明白这句话的意思，但他不愿表态，也不能表态。 反正已经说了，徐阶又提出了另一个要求： “那个人还望老兄多加保全。” 听到这句话，陆炳终于开口了： “此人之事上通天子，非我所能为。” 意思是，这件事情已经通天，我是罩不住的。 这是句实话，徐阶也只能叹气了： “唯望老兄多加留意。” 陆炳点了点头，这个要求并不过分。 徐阶走了，严世蕃来了。 当然，他的来意和徐阶完全相反——把杨继盛整死，顺带梢上裕王。 陆炳热情地接待了他，还不断点头表示同意。 严世蕃满意地走了，然而事情的发展并非如他所料。 此后严嵩父子天天在家里等待着好消息的到来，可是日子一天天过去，陆炳那边却毫无动静。 严世蕃没有再去找过陆炳，作为官场老手，他很清楚对方的这种态度所代表的意义——拒绝。 沈链离去时的背影，是陆炳永远无法忘怀的，所以在关键的时刻，他作出了这个关键的抉择。 他虽然没有挺身而出的勇气，却依然坚守着仅存的良知。 外面大风大浪，斗得你死我活，而事件的中心人物杨继盛却是异常的平静，他镇定地呆在牢房中，等待着即将来临的暴风骤雨。 在陆炳的授意下，诏狱的看守并没有难为杨继盛，但严嵩的能量却并不是陆炳可以左右的，很快，杨继盛就为他的勇敢付出了代价。 他被拖出了牢房，接受了廷杖一百的处罚。 廷杖是用大棍子打屁股，一般说来，如果是所谓“用心打”，六十廷杖就足以将人活活打死，即使不死也脱层皮，极为痛苦。 一位同僚实在看不下去了，他托人送给杨继盛一副蛇胆，告诉他：用此物可以止痛。 然而杨继盛再次表现了他的无畏与勇气： “我杨椒山（杨继盛号椒山）自己有胆，用不着这个！” 有种，实在太有种了。 杨继盛没钱买通行刑人，又得罪了财雄势大的严嵩，一般说来是必死无疑了。 可让人惊叹的是，杨继盛挨了一百杖，虽说皮开肉绽，伤筋动骨，竟然还是保住了一条命。除了他身体好外，估计也有某些场外因素——行刑者是锦衣卫。 不过一百杖还是结结实实的一百杖，不是打在棉花上的，杨继盛依然只剩下了半条命，等待着他的不是救护车或高干病房，只有潮湿而散发着恶臭的诏狱。 然而正是在这个恐怖阴森的地方，杨继盛干出了一件耸人听闻、挑战人类极限的事情。 虽说是硬汉，毕竟不是铁人，廷杖打折了他的腿骨，腿肉被打掉，一片血肉模糊，已经昏迷的杨继盛被拖回了牢房，没有人给他包扎，在蝇虫滋生，肮脏阴冷的空气中，他的伤口开始恶化感染。 在那个深夜，杨继盛被腿上的剧痛唤醒，借着微光，他看见了自己的残腿和碎肉，却并没有大声呻吟叫喊，只是叫来了一个看守： “这里太暗，请帮我点一盏灯借光。” 这是一个比较合理的要求，看守答应了，他点亮一盏灯，靠近了杨继盛的牢房。 就在光亮洒入黑暗角落的那一刻，这位看守看见了一幕让他魂飞魄散、永生难忘的可怕景象： 杨继盛十分安静地坐在那里，他低着头，手中拿着一片破碎碗片，聚精会神地刮着腿上的肉，那里已经感染腐烂了。 他没有麻药，也不用铁环，更没有塞嘴的白毛巾，只是带着一副平静的表情，不停地刮着腐肉，碗片并不锋利，腐肉也不易割断，这是令人难以忍受的剧烈疼痛，然而杨继盛没有发出一点声音。 在这个深夜，单调的摩擦声回映在监房里，在寂静中诉说着这无与伦比的勇敢与刚强。 在昏暗的灯光下，杨继盛独立完成着这个前无古人，后无来者（可以肯定）的手术，当年关老爷刮骨疗毒（真假还不一定），也还有个医生（特级医师华佗），用的是专用手术刀，旁边一大群人围着，陪他下棋解闷。 相比而言，杨继盛先生的手术是自助式的，没有手术灯，没有宽敞的营房，陪伴他的只有苍蝇蚊子，他没有消毒的手术刀，只有往日吃饭用的碎碗片。 杨继盛继续着他的工作，腐肉已经刮得差不多了，骨头露了出来，他开始截去附在骨头上面的筋膜。 掌灯的看守快要崩溃了，看着这恐怖的一幕，他想逃走，双腿却被牢牢地钉在原地，动弹不得。 他曾见过无数个被拷打得惨不忍睹的犯人，听到过无数次凄惨而恐怖的哀嚎，但在这个平静的夜里，他提着油灯，面对这个镇定的人，才真正感受到了深入骨髓的恐惧和震撼。 于是他开始颤抖，光影随着他的手不断地摇动着。 一个沉闷的声音终于打破了这片死一般的寂静： “不要动，我看不清了。” 二十年前，曾有一部极为轰动的电影，后来还拍了续集，里面的兰博兄极为彪悍，曾把火药洒在伤口上，给自己消毒，国人为之侧目，皆视其为硬汉偶像。 然而许多人并不知道，在四百多年前，有一个叫杨继盛的人曾经比兰博还要兰博，而他们之间的最大区别在于：兰博是假的，杨继盛是真的。 杨继盛就这样活了下来，就这样名震天下，就这样永垂青史，因为他的坚忍、顽强、以及正直。 严嵩明白，陆炳是指望不上了，但刻骨的仇恨与畏惧是不会消弭的，杨继盛非杀不可！ 此时案件已经转到了刑部，侍郎王学益是严党成员，严嵩指使他从速解决杨继盛，因为骂人是没法杀头的，严大人送佛送上天，指定了罪名：诈传亲王令旨。 可是副部长报上去，部长何鳌却不批，郎中史朝宾还明确表示，绝不执行。 严嵩发怒了，他撤了史朝宾的官，并托人告诉何鳌，再不听话，你就跟史郎中一起走。 何鳌妥协了，刑部就此递交了处理意见——依律处决。 然而严嵩万万没有想到，他费尽心机的这份文书竟然还是无法执行，而他也无可奈何——皇帝不批。 嘉靖已经不是当年的那个锋锐少年了，他已经做了三十年皇帝，经历了无数风波，斗倒了无数权臣，该吃的吃了，该玩的玩了，该整的夜整了，剩下的唯一愿望就是多活几年。 所以他全身心地投入到修道事业中去，把国事交给手下的大臣。而这位聪明的皇帝之所以敢于放权，是因为在过去的二十多年里，所有的大臣都被他玩弄于股掌之间，没有人是他的对手，没有人能猜透他的心思。 一般说来，老板越聪明，员工也就越难受，嘉靖老板是不好伺候的，他不但天资聪慧，而且善于耍诈，你说东，他就偏往西，你让他吃饭，他偏要睡觉，总之是让你摸不着他的谱。 然而情况发生了变化，在这种日积月累的折腾中，大明公司的几位顶尖员工终于超越了老板的水平，成为了真正的领导者。 在这些足以掌控老板的超级员工名单中，有着严嵩和严世蕃的名字，当然，还有徐阶。在此之后不久，两个更为厉害的人也将被列入这个名单，而他们所掌控的，将是天下。 耍猴的时代即将结束，被猴耍的时代即将开始。 但至少在杨继盛的问题上，嘉靖暂时还没有被耍弄，他十分清楚此案奥秘，毕竟杨继盛的目标只是严嵩，严嵩想借刀杀人，他却不想被人当枪使。 杨继盛的案子就这么拖了三年，悬而不决，直到三年后的那起意外事件。 嘉靖三十四年（1555），杨继盛仍在狱中顽强地坚持着，外面的同僚同事们却忍耐不住了，人关了这么久，吃了这么多苦，连个说法都没有，你当言官们是饭桶不成？ 于是一时之间群臣上书，要求释放杨继盛，声势浩大，甚嚣尘上。 严嵩沉不住气了，此时，严党的中坚人物，著名贪官鄢懋卿向他进言： 养虎为患。 严嵩点了点头。 恰在此时，严嵩看到了他的干儿子，严党的另一干将赵文华送来的一份论罪奏疏，在这份奏疏上，写着两个人的名字。 严嵩思索片刻，拿起了笔，在这两个名字的后面，又加上了三个字：杨继盛。 因为他十分清楚，名列这份奏疏上的人，必死无疑。而皇帝在盛怒之下，是不会注意到这个小小的笔误的。 严嵩充分地发挥了他的聪明才智，历时三年，用尽手段，他终于把自己的死敌杨继盛送上了黄泉之路。 然而他万万不会想到，在他写下杨继盛名字的那一刻，他已犯下了一个最为致命的错误，覆亡之门就此打开。 在隐忍的日子里，徐阶时刻注意着严嵩的言行，而他迟迟不动手，是因为他一直未能发现严嵩的破绽。 纵横官场四十余年的严嵩是真正的精英，他虽然贪污受贿，虽然结党营私，却无人能抓住他的把柄，因为他知道哪些钱可以拿，哪些不能拿，哪些人要打，哪些人要拉。 所以这么多年来，他只受到过一次真正的威胁，然而那位慈悲为怀的夏言先生放过了他，此后他变得更加谨慎小心，狡诈无情。 然而他终于大意了，杨继盛的死劾激起了他的愤怒，混淆了他的思维判断，于是他做出了一个错误的决定——杀死杨继盛。 杨继盛就是奔着死来的。 他不受严嵩的收买，不听朋友的劝告，明知毫无胜利的希望，却依然押上自己的一切，以死罪弹劾严嵩，因为他的目的很明确： 只求一死。 用死来表达他的愤怒，用死来唤醒胆怯的人们，如同春秋时的铸剑师那样，杨继盛用他的生命铸就了那柄斩杀奸邪的利剑。 事实证明，杨继盛的死是一个不折不扣的圈套，而严嵩义无反顾地跳了进去。 嘉靖三十四年（1555）九月，正如严嵩所预料的那样，愤怒的嘉靖批示了这封奏疏：秋后处决。 消息传出之后，一个女人在自己简陋的房中，完成了另一封奏疏。 这个女人是杨继盛的妻子，伟人的老婆自然也不是常人，在上书里，这个弱女子提出了一个公平的交换条件——倘以罪重，必不可赦，愿即斩臣妾首，以代夫诛。 一命换一命，很公平。 严嵩看到了这封奏疏，然后扔进了文书堆里。 杨继盛的妻子文化不高，这封文书是她口述，由王世贞代写的，在临刑前，他再次来到狱中，去向他的同年兼好友告别。 王世贞是个讲义气的人，之前他曾多次探监，给杨继盛送来汤药，帮助他熬了下来。 可是事已至此，回天乏术，于是在诏狱中，王世贞和他的朋友见了最后一面。 眼前的杨继盛已经不成人形了，他没有父母的疼爱，众人的追捧，他很平凡，即使在那支光荣的进士队伍中，他也只是一个为人忽视、沉默寡言的人，辉煌显赫从未属于过他。 而今的他，只剩下了残肢破衣、遍体鳞伤，还有即将到来的死亡命运。 杨继盛却只是平静地提出了最后的要求： “我的后事，就劳烦你了。” 杨继盛没有钱，他的妻子也没有钱，对他而言，要想找口棺材入土为安，是比较困难的。 王世贞用力地点了点头，这已是他唯一能做的事。 所有的事情都交代完了，杨继盛即将走向他人生的最后舞台——刑场。 在这最后诀别的时候，王世贞终于不禁放声大哭： “椒山，事情怎么会到这个地步啊！” 然而此时的杨继盛笑了，他倚着墙壁，用残腿支撑着自己的身体： “元美（王世贞字元美），不必如此，”在昏暗的牢房中，他的脸上映射出无比自豪的光芒： “死得其所，死又何惧！” 嘉靖三十四年（1555）十月初一日，杨继盛英勇就义。 在这场实力悬殊的战斗中，手无寸铁的杨继盛，坚持到了最后一刻，只凭借他的信念和勇气。 临刑前，他赋诗一首： 历经磨难，矢志不移，叫做信念。 不畏强权，虽死无惧，叫做勇气。 在这一天，严嵩在他的府邸里欢庆自己的胜利，而嘉靖依然在西苑继续着他的修道事业。 在这一天，杨继盛用他的死向全天下人揭示了严嵩的真面目，之前威风八面，不可一世的严党就此走上灭亡之路，因为有这样一句古话——众怒难犯。 也就在这一天，努力营救却终未如愿的徐阶，在他学生血淋淋的尸首前，领悟了政治斗争的最终秘诀： 对付流氓，要用流氓的方法。
