In the first two decades of Wanli's reign, there were endless internal and external troubles, and what was handed down from his ancestors could only be regarded as a mess. Mongolia, Ningxia, North Korea, and Sichuan either rebelled or invaded. Without breathing, military expenditures surged, and the treasury was struggling. But in the past twenty years, the country has not experienced any major disturbances, and he has overcome all difficulties safely. Because in the first ten years, he had Zhang Juzheng, and in the next ten years, he had Shen Shixing. If you choose the most outstanding statesman in the 300-year history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng will be the first in the list.During his ten years in power, politics was rectified, the economy was restored, and the title of the top politician of the Ming Dynasty was well deserved.

But if the most outstanding bureaucrats are selected, the result will be quite different. With Zhang Juzheng's strength, he can only rank third. Because the two industries are different. Fundamentally speaking, politicians and bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty were of the same breed. They all worked in the imperial court, pretending to be grandsons first and then grandpas.But the problem is that the politicians of the Ming Dynasty were idealists, and they had to do things after they got out, and they wanted to realize their ambitions back then. The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were pragmatists. They first ensured their own status and status, and did what they could, and messed up if they couldn't.

Therefore, all politicians in the Ming Dynasty were bureaucrats, but not all bureaucrats were politicians.The technical content and evaluation indicators of the two industries are different. Politicians must be capable, while bureaucrats must be able to mix. Zhang Juzheng did a good job in government affairs, and he was a treacherous and scheming man. He was the chief assistant all the way, and he did well.But his death was not guaranteed, his whole family was ransacked after his death, and he was almost dug out to show the public, so he could only be ranked third. During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, in this industry, Zhang Juzheng's teacher, Xu Jie, really reached the pinnacle level, mixed up to the point of shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods.

He has been in the imperial court for more than 40 years, has been a student of the prime minister training class (Shu Jishi), scolded the chief assistant (Zhang Cong), was assigned a temporary post in the local area (Yanping Tuiguan), finally came back, and the backer was gone (Xia Yan), After more than ten years of being stepped on and cheated by others, I have no complaints and no regrets. I saw the right time, made a final decision, and it was done (Yan Song). After coming to power, he cracked down on the threatening (Gao Gong), promoted the promising (Zhang Juzheng), and even the emperor had to look at his face. After everything was arranged, he went home to spend his old age safely, and lived to be eighty-one years old. Well, Zhang Juzheng didn't die even after he died, such a human being, ranking first is what everyone expects.

The second place is Zhang Juzheng's confidant and assistant: Shen Shixing. I believe that many people do not agree with this conclusion, because among the many figures in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Shixing was not an eye-catching character, but in fact, in the bureaucracy industry, he was a master of knowledge and super capable. master. No one knows, because it is hidden in darkness. Before becoming an extreme bureaucrat, Shen Shixing was a person of unknown origin. Specifically, his background was unclear, his parents’ names, and where his family was located. There was no historical data at all.

Shen Shixing is a very cautious person and has the habit of keeping a diary.Even trivial things, such as who I talked to today and what I said, he will write it down. For example, the "Zhao Dui Lu" he left behind is a work of this type. In addition, he also likes to write articles, and a collection of essays has been handed down to future generations. Based on his spirit of digging into the dead end, his records are important materials for studying Ming history.However, the strange thing is that this old man didn't mention a word about his life experience. This is a rather strange thing, and I am a curious person, so I looked it up.

Regrettably, although I have read a lot of history books and searched a lot of materials, I still haven't been able to find a conclusive statement from the historical materials. There is no conclusive conclusion, but there is one inconclusive rumor, and in my opinion, this rumor can explain the above doubts. It is said (note the premise) that in the 14th year of Jiajing, a wealthy businessman surnamed Shen visited Suzhou and met a woman. They fell in love at first sight and lived together. After a period of time, the woman became pregnant and gave birth to the child, who later became Shen Shixing.

But at that time, the child could not follow his father's surname Shen, because Mr. Shen had a wife. Of course, in the evil old society, this does not seem to be illegal. With Mr. Shen’s family property, he can afford to marry several wives. However, there is a more troublesome problem-that woman is not an ordinary person. Said, is a nun. Therefore, under all kinds of desperation, this illegitimate child who was not seen in the light was given to someone else. Parents have never met, and they were adopted by others. Such a life experience is really unfortunate. But fortunately in the misfortune, this other person was not an ordinary person, but Xu Shangzhen, the prefect of Suzhou at that time.He liked this child very much, and named him Xu Shixing.

Although the magistrate Xu had left his post at that time, he had worked as a magistrate in Suzhou. As long as it wasn't Hai Rui, he would not be poor. So Xu Shixing's childhood was very happy. He was not short of money since he was a child, had enough food and clothing, and had a good family education.And he himself is also very intelligent, talented and intelligent. He was admitted to Juren when he was in his twenties. For him, life went smoothly without any disturbance. But the storm came after all. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Xu Shixing was twenty-eight years old, and he was about to go to Beijing to take part in the examination, and began the legend of his life.

However, on the eve of his departure, Xu Shangzhen found him and said this sentence to him: Actually, you are not my son. Before Xu Shixing could close his mouth, he had already confessed everything before, including his biological father and biological mother. This is a very odd move. According to current experience, before the exam, even if they usually look at each other with anger, parents have to say a few nice words at this time. It is really puzzling that the magistrate Xu chose to speak at this time. Yet I understand. Just start now, because in front of you, there will be more difficult things waiting for you. At that time, the only person you can rely on is yourself.

This is a father's last blessing to his son who is about to embark on the road of life. Xu Shixing set off on the road in silence.I believe that he should also understand, because in that year's examination, he was the champion. Xu Shixing, who won the first prize, returned to his hometown. The truth was revealed and his kindness was still there, so he made a formal request, hoping to belong to Xu's family. After more than 20 years of painstaking parenting, now the number one scholar and the first place, return to the hometown, and recognize the parents again, the harvest time has come. However, to everyone's surprise, his father rejected the request, hoping that he would return to his family and recognize his ancestors. Obviously, in the heart of this father, there is only giving and no gain. In desperation, Xu Shixing had no choice but to return to Shen's house with great guilt and emotion. The pie in the sky finally fell, and the top picks were all picked for nothing.Although his biological father had passed away at this time, the members of the Shen family agreed to his request without hesitation, beat gongs and drums, and welcomed him into the house with colorful lights. From then on, his name was called Shen Shixing. With a tortuous life experience and a happy childhood, Shen Shixing gained the first important experience in his life from his adoptive father, and thus established the main characteristics of his character: Be kind. Then when the kind Shen Shixing entered the imperial court, he discovered that most of the people here were not kind. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as one entered the Imperial Academy, as long as one did not make any serious political mistakes, after a few years, one was lucky enough to be assigned to various ministries of the central government to obtain qualifications. , Langzhong, even if they are a little bit back, they will be promoted very quickly when they are sent to a local area. After more than ten years, it is not difficult to become a local official. In view of this, every year, the Shujishi are the targets of political forces of various factions.Among Shen Shixing's classmates, anyone who is more clever has already found the backstage and is preparing for a bright future. Shen Shixing was the number one scholar, so there was an endless stream of people looking for him, but this old man stood still and would not be pulled away by anyone. He buried himself in his studies every day, regardless of his future career.The students unanimously recognized that Comrade Shen Shixing was very honest, but from a certain point of view, the so-called honesty was stupid. However, the development of things proved that honest people will not suffer after all. You know, the imperial court was not easy to mix in those few years, first Xu Jie fought Yan Song, after a few years, Gao Gong came up to fight Xu Jie, and then Zhang Juzheng came out to fight Gao Gong again, all in all it was a mess.Today he is a seventh-rank speech officer, tomorrow he will be promoted to a fifth-rank doctor, and the day after tomorrow he may go home to farm. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, shuffling the cards on stage is commonplace, the world is impermanent, and it is unreliable to follow anyone, so Shen Shixing who does not follow anyone has the last laugh.When his classmates threw themselves into the imperial court one after another, he stayed in the Imperial Academy all the time, first as a writer, and then as a leftist son.In addition to reading and writing documents, he also presided over several lectures (Jingyan) and taught a student named Zhu Yijun, also known as Wanli. As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.Fast forward ten years, after countless purges, by the first year of Wanli, the 41st year of Jiajing, the group of people who rushed to the front were basically abolished. At this moment, a person stood in front of Shen Shixing and said to him, follow me. This time, Shi Shixing was no longer silent, he agreed. Because this person is Zhang Juzheng. Shi Shihang is honest, but not stupid.In the past ten years, he has been observing, observing the most powerful force and the most stable backstage, and now, he has finally waited. After that, he followed Zhang Juzheng and made great progress all the way. Within a few years, he was promoted to the deputy minister of rites. In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), he became the minister of officials. One year later, he ushered in the second turning point in his life. . In the sixth year of Wanli (1578), Zhang Juzheng's father died. Although he had been allowed to seize love, he had to go home to bury his father.In order to ensure that he was in power, he elected Shen Shixing, who was only 43 years old, into the cabinet as a bachelor of Dongge University. After more than ten years of hard work, Shen Shixing finally entered the top decision-making level of the Ming Empire. But when he entered the cabinet, he discovered that he only played one role here—to make up the numbers. Because the chief assistant of the cabinet is Zhang Juzheng, this man is not only capable, but also has a big temper. He is usually domineering, and he is an out-and-out fierce man. Generally speaking, there are only two choices by the fierce man's side, either to be an enemy or to be a servant. Shen Shixing chose the latter without hesitation. He knew very well that a ruthless character like Zhang Juzheng only likes one kind of person - obedient people. Shen Shixing was very interesting, and Zhang Juzheng was also unambiguous. Within three years, he was promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a bachelor of Jianji Temple, Shaofu and Prince Taifu (cong Yipin). But in the cabinet at this time, Shen Shixing was still just a junior, not to mention Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Ma Ziqiang, and Lu Tiaoyang were in front of him, and it was his turn to pass one by one.The highest position is still far away. Shen Shixing didn't care, he had waited for twenty years and didn't care about waiting another ten years. But he never thought that he would not have to wait ten years, not even one year. In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Zhang Juzheng died. The tree falls and the hozen scatter.Zhang Siwei, who had endured for many years, took over and began to counterattack and reshuffle the cards. The situation was very unfavorable for Shen Shixing, because everyone on earth knew that he was Zhang Juzheng's confidant. At this critical moment, Shen Shixing showed his incomparable "mixed skills" for the first time. As a cabinet scholar, everyone impeached Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't speak; the emperor issued an edict to deprive Zhang Juzheng of his position, but he didn't speak; But not talking doesn't mean not caring. Shen Shixing was loyal, and after the family ransacked his life, he immediately wrote a letter to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.They also allocated a house with a lot of land to support Zhang Juzheng's family members. After that, he went around looking for someone to do the work quietly, and finally prevented Mr. Zhang from being dug out of the grave for public display. Zhang Siwei knew that Shen Shixing was not authentic, but he had nothing to do with him.Because this person has always been impeccable in his affairs, and he has both sides, and he can't catch any handles. But now that he has taken over as the chief assistant, it shouldn't be too difficult to clean up the people. From Zhang Siwei's point of view, he has a lot of time. However, things backfired. Before Zhang Shoufu could do anything, he got a piece of news—his father died. After his father died, Ding You had to go home, but Zhang Siwei didn't want to.Of course, it’s okay if you don’t go down, just grab your love, but the scene of Zhang Juzheng’s grabbing his love five years ago is still vivid in my memory.Considering that his strength is far inferior to Zhang Juzheng, and he doesn't want to be scolded to death, Zhang Siwei resolutely decided to go home and stay. Three years later, another hero. At this time, the veteran Lu Tiaoyang and Ma Ziqiang had left, and Shen Shixing was ordered to act as the chief assistant, waiting for Zhang Siwei to come back. Two and a half years passed in a flash, and Mr. Zhang was about to complete his meritorious deeds and pass the customs, but suddenly fell ill.Even if he was sick, he died two months later. All the superiors were dead, and after twenty-three years in the officialdom, the kind and good man Shen Shixing finally surpassed all his classmates and took the high position of chief assistant. A new era will begin in his hands. In terms of working ability, Shen Shixing is very outstanding. Although he is not as good as Zhang Juzheng, he is the most outstanding talent in his era. Because it is actually not difficult to be a great person, as long as all the people who are better than you die, you are the most powerful person. It’s like you met Lu Xun in the 1930s and bowed to Hu Shi. Even if you’re half-baked and not good at anything, as long as the group of people who are knowledgeable and know your details are all dead, you can also be topped. Wearing the hat of the master of Chinese studies. What's more, the situation Shen Shixing faced was much better than that of Zhang Juzheng: first of all, he was the emperor's teacher, and Wanli also admired the new chief assistant; second, he was very good at being a man, and he was popular with many ministers. He; plus at this time, he is an extremely human minister and has become a great leader, everything seems to be under his control. However, it just seems like that. The so-called imperial court refers to the rivers and lakes.Even if you are in a high position and sweep the world, you will never lack opponents.Because in this place, everything will be lacking, that is, there will be no shortage of enemies. Zhang Siwei is dead, but a more powerful enemy has appeared in front of him. And this enemy was created by Wanli. After Zhang Juzheng's death, Wanli was completely liberated.No one dared to control him, and no one could control him, and all power finally returned to his hands.He was prepared to run the empire as he wished. But before that, he had to do one more thing. According to the tradition, it is not enough to knock down a person, it is necessary to completely discredit him and eliminate all its influences to be considered good. As a result, a campaign to criticize Zhang Juzheng was launched vigorously. When Zhang Juzheng was alive, it was the Yanguan who suffered the most.Either dismissed from office, or spanked, life is very difficult, now that things are changing, these people are naturally the first to jump out. In March of the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), Yu Shi Ding Jilu took the lead in attacking Zhang Juzheng's son Zhang Sixiu, who was ranked first in the imperial examination that year. This is an extremely boring impeachment, because Zhang Sixiu's first rank is already a matter of the year of the monkey, and after Zhang Juzheng's death, he has been sent to a remote mountainous area to serve as an army.It's all tormented to this point, and you still have to investigate the exam questions, which is a typical example of looking for trouble when you have nothing to do. However, things are not as simple as they seem. In fact, this is a well-designed conspiracy. Although Ding Qilu said he had nothing to do, he was not without brains. He was very keenly aware that as long as he pursued Zhang Juzheng's issue vigorously, he could gain the emperor's favor. This move has another more insidious attempt: the chief examiner who admitted Zhang Sixiu back then is today's chief assistant Shen Shixing. In other words, attacking Zhang Sixiu would not only gain the emperor's favor, but also take care of Shen Shixing and drag him into the water, killing two birds with one stone, very vicious. This is where the bloody storm started. Shen Shixing quickly judged the other party's intentions, and he immediately wrote a letter to defend himself, saying that the examination papers were all sealed, with only numbers but no names, and there was no way to cheat. Wanli supported his teacher and ordered Ding Jilu to be demoted and transferred to another place. Everyone was relieved. However, the issuance of this decree was the real beginning of the storm. Among the officials in the Ming Dynasty, although there were lonely heroes like Yang Jisheng, in most cases, they were gangsters.Behind a successful speaker, there is always a group of speakers. Ding Qilu failed, so the behind-the-scenes black hand came out, adding up to a triple-double. The names of these three people are Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, and Yang Keli.In my opinion, these three brothers are a veritable "iron triangle of scolding and fighting". The reason for giving this honorary title is because they are not only capable of scolding, but also very tough. Li, Jiang, and Yang were all Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli (1577).They were not familiar with each other at first, but since becoming a censor, they have come together because of common interests and careers (swearing), established a deep friendship in battle, and become a new generation of shit-stirring sticks. The reason why we say the new generation is because before them, there were three extremely rowdy people, namely the famous Liu Tai, Zhao Yongxian, and Wu Zhongxing.These three dear friends had tortured Teacher Zhang Juzheng to half his life. Coincidentally, they were all Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing (1571), and they can be regarded as the iron triangle of the older generation. But these three old comrades are quite kind-hearted people. Everyone praises Zhang Juzheng, but they criticize him. This is called righteous indignation.The next three people stopped scolding, and they still scolded, which is called speculation. As soon as Ding Qilu's memorial was beaten back, Li Zhi rushed forward, pointing his gun at Shen Shixing in the cabinet.He also put Yang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in charge, on it, saying that the Minister of Personnel flattered the cabinet and belittled the officials. When the voice fell, Jiang Dongzhi and Yang Ke immediately wrote a letter to agree, and a group of speech officials also joined in the fun, and public opinion was immediately heated up. For these actions, Shen Shixing didn't care at first: Ding Jilu has already left, you go and make trouble, what else can you do? However something unexpected happened.A few days later, Wanli issued a second decree, ordering Ding Qilu to stay in his post, and exempting Gao Qiyu (responsible for the examination questions) from Yingtian's examination. This is a very dangerous political signal. In fact, Shen Shixing didn't know that Wanli's feeling for Zhang Juzheng was not hatred, but hatred.This former Teacher Zhang is not only a hateful power grabber, but also a terrifying shadow that hangs over his heart. Those who support Zhang Juzheng, he opposes, and those who oppose Zhang Juzheng, he supports!No matter who, when, or for any reason. This is the true voice of Wanli. The last time I drove Ding Jilu away, it was just to give Teacher Shen face. Now that the face has been given, how should we do it? Shen Shixing understands that a catastrophe is imminent: those who solve the exam questions today will clean up the invigilators tomorrow. The trick of killing chickens to scare monkeys is not new. The situation was very urgent, but at this critical moment, Shen Shixing showed a puzzling attitude. He did not issue a statement to refute, and kept an intriguing silence about the attacks of the three censors. A few days later, he finally submitted a letter of resignation instead of a dissertation paper. On the same day, Xu Guo, a cabinet scholar, and Yang Wei, a minister of officials, submitted their resignations at the same time, hoping to go home and farm. This move of retreating into advance was very powerful, and more than a dozen ministerial leaders, including Pan Jixun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Wang Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Zhao Jin, Zuodu Yushi, went to the evacuation one after another to persuade Shen Shixing to stay.Comrade Wanli was also in a hurry. Although he wanted to support the three scolding generals and rectify Zhang Juzheng to the end, in order to maintain stability and unity and pull people to work, he had to issue an order again to retain Shen Shixing and others and not accept the resignation. This decree has two meanings, the first is to comfort Shen Shixing, saying that I will not talk about this matter, and you don't leave, just work honestly. In addition, it is to tell Jiang, Yang, and Li that you have done a good job and won my heart (otherwise I would have spanked you long ago), but let's stop here and talk about it later. The matter came to an end, but the subsequent development told us that all this was just a warm-up exercise. The root of the problem lies in the "iron triangle".After the fraud incident in the examination room was over, the three men who flattered them were all promoted: Jiang Dongzhi was promoted to be the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, Li Zhi was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, and Yang Keli was promoted to be the Shaoqing of Shangbaosi. The Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is in charge of raising horses, and he can be regarded as the assistant Bi Mawen, who is the fourth rank.The Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple is in charge of meals and banquets. He is a fat job, and he is a fifth grade.Shaoqing of Shangbao Division is in charge of the official seal documents, which is a confidential department, from the fifth grade. In other words, each of these three officials has its own advantages, but they are not great. It can be seen that Comrade Wanli has a good idea: arrange jobs for you, help with small things, and don't get involved in big things. These three brothers are not very savvy, and they didn't understand the meaning of it, so they prepared to open a dyeing workshop after giving some color.Although the position is not high and the power is not great, they are very ambitious. It can be said that they have two dollars in their hands and five million in their hearts. But this time, they learned the lesson from last time, planned to soften the persimmon, and aimed at another target——Pan Jixun. Poor Comrade Pan Jixun, in fact, he is not a member of Shen Shihang.In the end, he was just a water conservancy technician. He did it when Gao Gong was there, and he did it when Zhang Juzheng was there. . Having said that, this person has always been popular, is a special scientific and technological talent, and is also the Minister of Justice (Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice), so it is not so easy to deal with. But Li Zhi only used one memorial to completely end him. This memorandum thoroughly proved Mr. Li's thick black level. Not only did he never mention Shen Shixing, he even didn't scold Technician Pan himself.He only said two things - when Zhang Juzheng was in power, Pan Jixun had a close relationship with him and they often walked around. Zhang Juzheng ransacked his home after his death. This is enough. Shen Shihang's cronies don't matter; personal problems don't matter; Zhang Juzheng's accomplices are about to die. It didn't take long for Master Pan, who worked hard, to be dismissed from all positions. He stepped down from the minister to the end, and went home to become a commoner. This matter was so nasty that many officials couldn't stand it anymore.Yushi Dong Zixing and Li Dong wrote letters to plead for Pan Jixun, but they were rejected by Wanli and fined one year's salary. With the support of the emperor, the "Iron Triangle" became more and more unscrupulous, directly burning the flames of war on the cabinet, and their attacks were particularly ruthless, both overtly and secretly.First, he wrote an anonymous letter, saying that Xu Guo, a scholar, arranged for manpower to repair Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi.Later, he blatantly impeached Shen Shixing's cronies and continued to provoke. The minister collapsed, the chief assistant was punished, and everyone was in danger because of the trouble, and who knows who will be the next to be unlucky.Even Liu Shangzhi, Jiang Dongzhi's good friend from the criminal department, couldn't hold back anymore, stood up and yelled: "Are you going to drive away all the people who worked with Zhang Juzheng in the past, and then you are willing to stop (just dismiss them)?!" However, what is puzzling is that amidst the storm, there is one person who has remained silent throughout. Facing the cloudy sky, Shen Shixing was very calm, neither noisy nor disturbing, and he was at ease. If this matter were to be placed on Zhang Juzheng's head, that would be a big deal.With this man's temper, it is inevitable that he will swear back first, and then go to battle in person, dismissed from office, spanked, criticized, and vowed not to give up until he becomes stinky.Liu Tai, Zhao Yongxian and others are advanced models. In terms of ability and talent, Shen Shixing is not as good as Zhang Juzheng, but in this respect, he far surpasses Mr. Zhang. Shen Shoufu knew very well that Zhang Juzheng was an out-and-out political genius.And people like Liu Tai and Jiang Dongzhi, apart from being quick-spoken and drooling, they are also idiots in their work.It's bad luck to get serious with them, because these people will pull their opponents into their ranks, and use their long-term work experience at the idiot level to defeat the enemy. Therefore, in his view, people like Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi are just jumping clowns, and there is no fatal threat. They don't have to wait long before they will show their flaws. The so-called magnanimity and broad-mindedness are only because the opponent's grade is too low. However, the "Iron Triangle" did not seem to have this awareness. In August of the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585), they launched an offensive again. The thing is like this, in order to build a mausoleum for Wanli, Shen Shixing went to Dayu Mountain to supervise the construction. He planned to lay the foundation, but the stone was dug out. From today's point of view, this is really not a big deal, just remove the stone.But at the time, it was a head-scratcher. The emperor's mausoleum is a carefully selected place of geomantic omen. To ensure that the emperor can lie down comfortably after death, what is the intention of choosing such a stone place to prevent the emperor from dying? The charge was made, but Shen Shixing was only a supervisor after all, and he had to find a way to drag him into the water. After some investigation, a solution was found: it turned out that Xu Xuemo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had chosen this land. This person was not only Shen Shixing's in-laws, but also a fellow villager.Obviously, he chose this piece of poor land to cause trouble for the emperor because of his intentions, bad intentions, and instigation. As long as the relationship between the two is killed, Shen Shixing can be completely dragged into the water.And this group of ambitious people had already identified the successor of the chief assistant. As soon as Shen Shixing was impeached and stepped down, they would immediately recommend this person to take office and use this to control the court. This was their plan. However, this seemingly foolproof plan has two fatal flaws. A few days later, the three of them went to the shuffle at the same time. The land for the impeachment mausoleum was poorly selected. In the face of an attack of unprecedented scale, Shen Shixing did not panic, and just casually posted a memorial to explain the situation, because he knew that this group of people would soon be in trouble. A day later, Wanli replied below: "The cabinet minister (referring to Shen Shixing) assists in government affairs, do you think he is a Feng Shui master (how can you blame it on Kanyu)!?" After Wanli, who was burning with anger, finished cursing, he ordered the three of them to be fined for half a year to see the effect. The three of them were completely stunned. They scratched their heads and couldn't figure out what was going on. In the final analysis, the information work is still not in place.These few friends wandered around, only knowing that Xu Xuemo was looking for the land, but they didn't know that it was Wanli who made the final decision on the location. His Majesty the Emperor finally took the initiative to pick a piece of land, but he was scolded by them for nothing. But it's okay, after all, he is regarded as the emperor, and he was only fined half a year's wages. But before the three could move on, they were shot again in the back. Before that, in order to determine the successor of Shen Shihang, the three of them spent a lot of brainstorming, discussed repeatedly, and finally made a decision - Wang Xijue. This Mr. Wang has appeared before.When Zhang Juzheng was seizing love, he came to force the palace, and almost made Mr. Zhang commit suicide. He was Zhang Juzheng's deadly enemy, and he was also Li Zhi's teacher, so there was no more suitable candidate. It looks like that, but unfortunately there are two things they don't know: First, Wang Xijue is a very decent person, he doesn't like Zhang Juzheng, but he is not Zhang Juzheng's enemy. Second, Wang Xijue was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing. Before the exam, he met his fellow Shen Shixing. Based on the above two points, Wang Xijue handed in his resignation letter after learning that he was recommended to replace Shen Shihang. This is a well-known letter of resignation, the full title of which is "Request to Resign Due to Matter", and put forward specific reasons for resignation: If the teacher can't discipline the students, he should leave (should go)! Now it's all over, although this group of people say their morals are not good, they are good at biting people after all, Wanli originally planned to teach them a lesson, so they can do whatever they want. But these three were too disappointing. They offended the cabinet, offended their colleagues, and even turned against their own teachers. Level 3, dispatched to other places. In this way, the domestic dog turned into a bereaved dog, and Shen Shixing won the final victory without making a fuss.
