51 Feeling a great crisis
Zhang Mingwei has looked up a lot of information and can be said to have learned a lot about the situation in the late Ming Dynasty. However, that is obtained from searching for information, and this matter is not the most important thing for the moment. Therefore, he did not mention it to Emperor Chongzhen.
However, when he heard it from Lan Tianbao, he learned about the real situation. Therefore, he did not answer Princess Kunxing's words for now, but just asked Lan Tianbao to tell what he knew.
Lan Tianbao had a hatred for officials because of the imperial examination. But after contacting Zhang Mingwei, he realized that Zhang Mingwei was definitely not comparable to those officials he knew before.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of Zhang Mingwei, and now he was asking for it. With his anger towards those people, he said without hesitation: "Those children of the official families have joined this Fushe. They formed a clique with each other and used their family's relationship in the officialdom to control the county examination, the government examination, etc., and not their people. If they do not pay enough money, they will not be able to pass the county emperor and the government emperor's level..."
His introduction immediately shocked Zhu Mai and others. In their opinion, if Lan Tianbao said it was true, would this Ming Dynasty still be the emperor's world?
The imperial examination is really the cornerstone of the country and is a very serious matter. As long as the imperial examination fraud cases have been exposed, they will definitely be dealt with seriously, and no emperor will tolerate them.
This matter is so serious that it exceeds anyone's imagination. Of course, Zhang Mingwei is an exception.
Therefore, when Lan Tianbao finished speaking, Zhu Mai immediately asked Zhang Mingwei in shock: "Sir, is he true?"
When Zhang Mingwei heard her ask again, he nodded slightly and said, "It's similar to what I know, but it's best to investigate this matter again."
Speaking of this, he looked at the people present and said seriously: "This matter is very related to the officialdom. Before the emperor makes a decision, you'd better ruin what you heard today."
There were already many broken things at this time. If the hornet's nest was poked out, the people in the court would definitely do whatever they wanted to protect themselves.
Therefore, Zhang Mingwei didn't want to uncover the lid of the pot now. At least he had to solve the most urgent matter. Then he would deal with this matter, at least he could not solve it with great fanfare.
Fortunately, there was no civil servant around him, and there was no connection with the imperial examination. He was trustworthy and had to protect him, so he was not afraid that they would talk nonsense.
After Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, under his gaze, both Wang Erbiao, Li Ruolian and others immediately agreed.
When Lan Tianbao heard Zhang Mingwei's words, he immediately felt that Zhang Mingwei's identity was absolutely extraordinary. At this time, he remembered what happened before, and turned to look at Wang Erbiao, wanting to confirm something.
However, before he could confirm any results, Zhang Mingwei said to him: "I can take your family in and help me in my house in the future!"
When Lan Tianbao heard this, he couldn't care about anything. He still cared about who Wang Erbiao was. He immediately knelt down happily and said with his upper body straight: "Thank you, my villain's life is all my god!"
His parents even cried with joy and knelt down with Lan Dibao to thank him.
Against the backdrop of large numbers of refugees pouring into the capital, even if their family has the ability, they cannot find their employer and have no source of livelihood. They are forced to take the face to cheat the buns, which is really desperate.
Now the adult in front of him is so generous that he took all four of them in. From then on, he has a house to avoid the cold and cannot get hungry. He will never have to live the kind of day he doesn’t know if he will eat tomorrow. I am really very grateful!
Seeing them so grateful, Zhu Mai was also infected by them a little, and said with a smile: "Sir, it's the best. You can do things for you. This is the greatest blessing in your life!"
When Li Ruolian heard this, he agreed in his heart that even the princess was a maid for the adults. You have reached the level of a princess all at once!
Of course, this idea is a bit rude and it is just thinking about it in my heart, but I never dare to show it.
As a result, the private room became his own person and the atmosphere immediately improved a lot. Wang Erbiao felt a little regretful when he saw this and could not teach him a lesson.
……………………
At this time, the group of Jinyiwei's captains who captured Lan Dibao had already returned. The Jinyiwei's small flag was complaining to the Jinyiwei commander Luo Yangxing: "...Sir, this Li Ruolian already knew that they had offended the adults, but he still did not give him any face and intercepted the person."
Luo Yangxing frowned when he heard this, and he was very angry: This Li Ruolian seems to be supported by a big shot and is about to rebel!
He waited for the man to finish speaking, and immediately asked, "Where are they now?"
"It should be in Zuixian Tower!" The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi had obviously had a revenge long ago. After inquiring clearly, he would report to Luo Yangxing.
After hearing this, Luo Yangxing decided after thinking for a while: "Change in casual clothes and lead the way!"
He had already learned a lot about Zhang Mingwei. Especially the discussions of Wenhua Palace, he knew it even more clearly. This surprised him very much. When did such a person appear that the emperor trusted so much, and even obeyed his will?
He was still very curious about such a character and wanted to see him with his own eyes. He guessed that Li Ruolian was suddenly reused, and it was probably because this sudden appearance changed Li Ruolian's opportunity.
If possible, Luo Yangxing certainly was unwilling to change the status quo and did not want Li Ruolian to gain power.
So, he took a group of subordinates to change into casual clothes and hurried to Zuixianlou.
Before he could reach the door, he saw a group of people coming out. When the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi saw it, he quickly pointed at the group of people and reminded Luo Yangxing: "Sir, Li Ruolian is coming out."
When Luo Yangxing heard this, he immediately flashed to the side of the street and hid in secret.
That's right, Li Ruolian was among the group of people. But his eyes first looked at the person in the leader. He had never seen him before. When talking to Li Ruolian, he had a good attitude. It seemed that their relationship was very good!
"Huh?" Li Ruolian suddenly became surprised, and even blinked his eyes hard before looking again. He still read it right and was immediately surprised.
The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi saw it strangely and asked quickly: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"That woman, if she didn't admit her mistake, she should be Princess Kunxing!" Luo Yangxing's eyebrows were frowned, and he explained with a little puzzled look.
Princess Kunxing is still young and has been kept in the palace. It is naturally impossible for ordinary Jinyiwei lieutenant to have seen him. Even Luo Yangxing has only seen him twice occasionally. I just saw him and observed him for a long time before I confirmed that the man should be Princess Kunxing, and that is why he was so surprised.
"Ah?" His subordinates couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it. They all opened their eyes wide and went to see it.
"Sir, you're right, why is the grand Princess of the Ming Dynasty here?" Xiaoqi of Jinyiwei asked in confusion after hearing this, "And it's unlikely that there is only such a little person?"
After hearing this, Luo Yangxing looked carefully again, he suddenly said with certainty: "Didn't you see that person? That is the eunuch Wang Erbiao in the palace, the godson of the new eunuch Wang, the eunuch Wang, the new director of the Sili Supervisor. He is here, so it must be right!"
When his subordinates heard this, they took a breath. The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi asked quickly: "Sir, can Li Ruolian get the support of the princess, so he doesn't take the adult seriously?"
"No, don't you see that?" Luo Yangxing's brows frowned even more, and pointed to the person at the entrance of the Zuixian Tower and said, "Those people are not led by princesses!"
