"I said that I read the sages in the past, and those who want to establish an emperor and establish a crown have passed down the road. To establish a crown, it is difficult for the emperor to establish a crown, and if the emperor really wants to establish a crown, then the important ministers can make plans. If it is not, the best ministers are willing to hold a crown for a long time. I think that if the two are in the same position, they will be honored by the ministers. If they do not follow, they will be punished by the death penalty. The ministers are very afraid of it. However, the stars change and earthquakes are caused by the earthquake. The main hall disasters are all loving. The false intention is that the court may have a lifelong plan for the emperor."

This matter is very important, and Guo Xiyan also knows that this memorial will inevitably cause an uproar if it goes up.

In the capital over the years, he naturally knew that some people in the court officials wanted to write a letter to Emperor Jiajing to become the crown prince several times, but in the end there was no follow-up. Although he didn't know why, he vaguely heard that it seemed that Prince Yu's mansion was secretly stopping the matter.

Therefore, Guo Xiyan was not eager to submit this memorial, but stayed at home and revised it several times, but still felt unsatisfied.

Just when he was depressed and idle at home, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate of the Capital finally jointly submitted a document to Emperor Jiajing for the trial of the case of former Zhejiang General Yu Dayou.

The memorial first denied the accusation that Yu Dayou had privately hooked up with Japanese pirates, but he was responsible for improper command of the Japanese pirates in Cengang. He suggested that he be dismissed and deprived of his hereditary privileges.

The memorial was sent to the Silijian through the cabinet and then transferred to the Xiyuan. At this time, Emperor Jiajing's attention had been shifted to the increasingly fierce Japanese turmoil in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. Seeing the results of the trial of the Yu Dayou case, he was naturally dissatisfied with the results.

Looking at Gao Zhong who was waiting for criticism below, Emperor Jiajing thought for a moment and said, "The Japanese crisis has not yet been eliminated. How could it be explained by a miscommand command? He was exiled to Datong."

Hearing Emperor Jiajing's words, Gao Zhong nodded quickly and then added the words "Yu Dayou" to exile Datong as a military officer. After that, the memorial would be sent to the cabinet and handed over to the Ministry of Justice for the final verdict.

Lu Bing heard the news a little later. Although it was not perfect, his old friend could finally get out of the imperial prison.

In fact, it is not a punishment to be exiled to Datong. Perhaps Emperor Jiajing would not want a general who commanded more than ten thousand troops to wander among the people and sent him to the border town. This is naturally the best result.

After thinking about it, it seemed that the current governor of Datong was Li Wenjin, and then asked someone to find information about Li Wenjin and read it carefully.

After reading these materials, he also planned to hand them over to Yu Dayou for a look. After all, he will go there soon. Being familiar with Shangguan will help him live in Datong in the future.

Li Wenjin's courtesy name is Xianzhi and his pseudonym is Tongye. He is from Ba County, Chongqing Prefecture, Sichuan Province. He is a civilian. He is a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.

Li Wenjin was barely considered a second-generation official. His ancestors were just small officials like the postmaster. His father Li Bang was a senior official of Fengzhi and a deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now he is the right assistant censor of the Censorate and the governor of Datong.

Soon, Lu Bing's brows stretched out.

At the beginning, Lu Bing was worried that Li Wenjin was not familiar with Yu Dayou, so he might not reuse Yu Dayou.

Lu Bing naturally knew Yu Dayou's ability, otherwise he would not have helped him like this.

In the officialdom, making good relationships can sometimes bring unexpected benefits.

When the Japanese pirates were in trouble in Zhejiang and Fujian, because the deputy envoy of the Haidao Ding Zhan was dismissed by the court, the court ordered Li Wenjin to replace Ding Zhan and go to eliminate the Japanese pirates.

So, Li Wenjin and Yu Dayou, who was the general of Ningbo and Taizhou prefectures at that time, jointly formulated a thorough anti-enemy plan, led their troops to defeat Japanese pirates at sea, burned more than 50 Japanese ships, and fought a beautiful victory.

Seeing this, Lu Bing was delighted. Li Wenjin and Yu Dayou had an intersection. I think Yu Dayou would be reused soon after he went to Datong. At that time, he would be rewarded. It would be a matter of time before he could make meritorious service and regain his position.

I had thought about handing over Li Wenjin's information to Yu Dayou for a look, but now I don't need it anymore.

If Yu Dayou had a deeper understanding of Li Wenjin through the information of the Jinyiwei, he would say something he shouldn't know at that time, so don't add anything to it.

Thinking of this, Lu Bing had his subordinates resealed Li Wenjin's information into the file, and went straight to Yu Dayou's cell.

Now that Yu Dayou's affairs have been completely settled, he can only submit a memorial to the Ministry of Personnel to pronounce the verdict. Even if the dust is settled, it is time to tell Yu Dayou about his future.

"Is the palace popular?"

Lu Bing walked into the cell, and Yu Dayou was still lying on the recliner, covered with a thick quilt.

Perhaps it was judged by footsteps, but before Lu Bing could enter the cell, he heard Yu Dayou's question in his ears.

“Approved.”

Lu Bing entered the house and sat down on the chair next to Yu Dayou, then continued: "But it's different from what you want."

"Well? Should I still be punished?"

Yu Dayou opened his eyes and looked at Lu Bing next to him, with a slightly surprised expression.

"Your Majesty is still angry. After all, the Japanese pirates in Cengang did escape from the hands of the hands, so don't think about the idea of ​​releasing the armor and returning to the field."

Lu Bing smiled.

"Okay, whether it's back to Fujian or Zhejiang, I just follow the emperor's order."

Yu Dayou shook his head slightly, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, Yu Dayou now has no job to do except lead troops to fight.

This time, Yu Dayou gave up his plan to continue to be an official, thinking of returning to his hometown in Fujian, bringing a group of apprentices, and passing on his skills.

Back then, the young Yu Dayou learned military tactics with Zhao Benxue, and also learned military tactics with Li Liangqin, the founder of Zhang Ersan. Speaking of which, for the imperial examination, he also became the famous Yi scholar Wang Xuan and Lin Fu as his teacher, and received guidance from the famous Neo-Confucianist Cai Qing. He was one of the few generals of the Ming army who had both civil and military qualities.

So for Yu Dayou, if you can't become an official, then go back to your hometown to be a teacher who preaches and learns. You can learn both civil and military affairs when you come to your own school. There will be no fewer students who come to a private school.

Although Yu Dayou did not get a scholar's fame, he was still a scholar at least. He passed the boy's examination and the college examination at the age of fifteen. He won the middle and lower scholars in one go, and was regarded as a "child prodigy" back then.

However, for Yu Dayou, it is still a bit regrettable that he has not been able to display his ambitions.

Learn civil and military skills and sell goods to the imperial family.

This is what most people in this era think, and Yu Dayou is no exception. What's more, since Yu Dayou remembers that his family eats imperial grain, and they have eaten imperial grain for generations.

"You can't go back to the south anymore, I'll send you to Datong."

Lu Bing spoke.

"Datong? Fight the Tartars?"

Yu Dayou sat up suddenly, and looked at Lu Bing with his eyes lit up.

"Yes, but you were deposed, and your family's hereditary 100-household position was also stripped of. You used to be a soldier."

Lu Bing continued speaking.

"Just soldiers, just soldiers, I have never been a soldier."

Yu Dayou took over his father's official position, but soon after, he was promoted to the position of guarding Qianhuo, the Thousand Household Office, and never became a soldier because of his participation in the martial arts.

"By the way, who has the final say in Datong now?"

Although he didn't care, Yu Dayou still asked about the topic he was concerned about. He didn't know who he was, and he was not a qualified soldier.

"Hehe. Li Wenjin."

Lu Bing was too lazy to keep it a secret, so he told Governor Datong out.

"Li Wenjin"

When Yu Dayou heard the name, he frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, but he was not very sure, so he asked, "Is it Mr. Li Wenjin, who served as the deputy envoy of the seaway in Zhejiang?"

"It seems that you have a deep impression of him. He has been walking around the Censorate for several years, and you still remember him."

Lu Bing's words actually confirmed Yu Dayou's guess.

"Bang."

Yu Dayou slapped his big hands suddenly, letting out a crisp applause, and then grinned and said, "If it were that adult, my old Yu would have a better life."

"Is that true? He is now the Governor of Datong. You are a martial artist. Do they still remember you?"

Lu Bing said funny.

"That master is good. At that time, I was fighting under his tent, and he didn't interfere with my troops. He was better than Hu Zongxian's officials who had only a slight understanding of it. He had to point fingers at everything. It was also the most comfortable battle that Lao Yu had fought, and he directly destroyed all the Japanese pirates."

Yu Dayou seemed to remember the situation at that time and said with a blushing face, "Don't look at me as a soldier, Lord Li will never know me when he arrives in Datong. Even if he really forgets, I'll visit you."

For officials like Yu Dayou who are at the level of general, even if they are dismissed, there will be documents about Li Wenjin in his case, so Yu Dayou believes that Li Wenjin will not know that he is here.

"There is not much time left. The memorial will be sent back to the cabinet tomorrow. It is estimated that the Ministry of Justice will close the case in the next few days and you will be escorted."

Lu Bing was very happy to know that this brother was about to get out of the cage. "It's just a pity that Guangde has made great efforts this time, but you can't see him."

"When he comes back, you can find an opportunity to say thank you to him."

Yu Dayou said to Lu Bing.

Being able to go out is undoubtedly Wei Guangde's plan in Hangzhou. Otherwise, Lu Bing would not have found enough conditions to talk to the Yan family, and Yu Dayou would not have gone out so easily.

Although Lu Bing had the final say in the imperial prison, he could make Yu Dayou live well in prison, but he did not dare to let anyone go.

Three days later, the Ministry of Justice sent another official letter to refer someone, but Lu Bing did not stop him. According to the previous rules, he sent the Jinyi School Captain to escort Yu Dayou to the Ministry of Justice for court.

As expected, the case will not be tried this time. After all, the case has been closed, so it is just a direct judgment on Yu Dayou.

As Lu Bing said, he was dismissed from his official position, inherited his privileges of being protected by the emperor, and was exiled to Datong.

Two days later, just as Lu Bing sent Yu Dayou away from the capital, the two were saying goodbye in the west of the city, and suddenly a Jinyi Captain came quickly from a distance.

The visitor strangled the reins more than ten steps in front of Lu Bing, jumped off the horse and ran to Lu Bing, and whispered a few words in his ear, then Lu Bing's face changed.

Yu Dayou knew that something might happen in the capital, otherwise Lu Bing's face would not have changed so badly.

"Shifu, let me leave you and I."

Lu Bing waved his hand and signaled that he knew, and then said to Yu Dayou again.

"But there is something wrong, if so."

Yu Dayou said hurriedly.

"It's okay, you go to Datong yourself, and I will solve the matters in the capital. It's better for you to get out of the capital earlier."
