    Li Wei, Minister of Industry, was originally from Henan. He was originally a member of Liu Jian's family. Because of his good relationship with Jiao Fang, he was introduced to Liu Jin's family by Jiao Fang.  The marriage between Li Yanqing and the fifth wife of the He family was also prompted by Liu Jin and Jiao Fang, so that Li Hao was able to break off the engagement early and escape smoothly.  ??And Li Xun's promotion from minister to minister was naturally due to Liu Jin's promotion.  In fact, the marriage between Li Yanqing and Yang Yue was also initiated by Liu Jin and Li Hao went to propose marriage. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out ?????? Therefore, if he is said to be an eunuch, he cannot run away.  "But to say that he abused public funds to harm the public and enrich his own private life is really unprecedented.  Regardless of what kind of person Li Hao was, his love for engineering technology was real. All the projects he handled must be done properly. Even if he received more or less filial piety, it was just for irrelevant things.  There is no such thing as shoddy quality or cutting corners.  But now that the eunuchs are being liquidated, many people are eager to label more eunuchs and unseat them, leaving a lot of empty seats, not to mention Li Hao, a real eunuch who is in a high position.  Li Ji was dismissed from his post, and his three sons, including Li Yanqing, were also suspended. Even his eldest brother Li Jun, who retired from the second-grade official position the year before, was also impeached and asked to be deprived of all benefits.  .  But compared to Zhang Cai, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and others, the Li family is considered good.  Those families were imprisoned early and their homes were ransacked. People in the market have been saying that the lightest option would be exile, and if not, they would be executed.  Hearing all the stories about the fate of eunuchs, the Li family was in a state of panic all day long.  At this time, how can Yang Yue, the daughter of the Pavilion Elder, still sit still?  Li Yanqing had received an order to go to Shanxi Martial Arts School to take up a post, and Yang Yue had packed his luggage and was ready to go, filled with joy at being able to get rid of his stepmother-in-law and difficult sister-in-law.  How could one know that disaster will come from heaven?  Yang Yue immediately wanted to rush to her natal family. Although she was not close to her natal family, at this time, after all, her father was the elder of the pavilion and could always protect them.  It was Li Yanqing who refused to let her go out, saying that speaking out at this time would easily lead to criticism. Not only would he not be able to save the Li family, but he would also harm the Yang family, so he told her not to be impulsive.  However, after the accident, the Yang family didn't say anything to her. Yang Yue couldn't help but feel chilled. She blamed her parents' family and didn't want to go back to her parents' family.  Yesterday, something unexpected happened. When the curfew was about to begin, a team of royal guards came from the Li Mansion and took Li Hao away quietly.  There is no news until dawn today.  Li Yanqing went out early in the morning to inquire about news.  As soon as he left, Li Hao's step-brother rushed into Yang Yue's courtyard with his youngest daughter-in-law, and repeatedly threatened and lured her. They kept saying that Li Yanqing would not end well after Li Hao was finished, forcing her to go back to her parents' home to seek help.  Yang Yue had dinner at her husband's house and came to her parents' house angrily. She heard that her aunt and sister-in-law said that her father was busy, and she felt that they were extremely cold-blooded and refused to let her see her father.  Seeing Shen Rui at this time, she thought of the things Li Yanqing had done for Shen Rui and the generous gifts from Shandong. Although she was not close to her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but regard her brother-in-law as a life-saving straw.  Shen Rui lowered his face, frowned and said, "Zi Che asked you to come?" Yang Yue paused, then cried again: "Sanlang always said that he was afraid of hurting the Yang family and refused to let me come! He himself  There is love and justice, but the Yang family is so evil and only cares about themselves, not us!" She reached out to grab Shen Rui's sleeve again, even if she didn't catch the master, she didn't care, she was anxious and worried.  Looking forward to saying: "Brother-in-law, you know Sanlang best. He has never done anything to kill his conscience! Brother-in-law, Sanlang has done everything for you. You can't burn bridges and ignore him" At this time  Yang Shen had already driven out. Hearing what she said became more and more outrageous, and there was no reason for her sister-in-law to stop her brother-in-law from talking, he immediately shouted, "Why are you hysterical? You're talking nonsense!" He also ordered the servants to go and get her.  Tow away.  Where Yang Yue was willing to obey, she started crying and making trouble.  Shen Rui bowed his hands to Wang Yan, who was being helped over by someone, and waved his hand to stop the servant woman, saying: "Brother, the second sister is so anxious that I can finally talk to her." He was doing it locally.  After serving as an official for several years, he had a dignified manner and a straight face. Not to mention the servants who respectfully retired, even Yang Yue was restrained and did not dare to cry anymore.  "I believe Zi Che is a sensible person and will not let you come." Shen Rui lowered his face and said, "I don't let you come, not only for the Yang family, but also for the Li family. What time is it now, how many people are there?  Focusing on the faults of the Li family, if you continue to make trouble, you will really hurt Zi Che." Yang Yue was startled and stopped crying involuntarily.  Shen Rui said seriously,Zi Che is the son-in-law of the Yang family. Who in the court doesn't know this?  The Li family has not been sealed off by the Jin Yiwei. It is your father-in-law's face that you can still stand here and talk.  " "But this matter, my father-in-law cannot speak out. Even if he speaks out, he will be accused of seeking public benefit for personal gain.  You must have handled foreign affairs for Zi Che in recent years. Don¡¯t you understand this?  " Yang Yue is angry and heartbroken, but she is not really stupid. Although she is not as knowledgeable as Yang Tian in having her father and brother to teach and understand political affairs, but as Shen Rui said, after getting married, she will also have to manage Li Yanqing's social and entertainment relationships, so she will not  She knew nothing about court affairs. She lowered her head and just held the handkerchief to her eyes to wipe her tears. Shen Rui said again: "Zi Che has outstanding talent and impeccable character. The emperor always cherishes talents and has his own judgment.  Even if he can no longer enter the official career, Shandong is now in short supply of technical talents.  " Yang Yue raised his head fiercely and said eagerly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, if you are willing to give us a hand, we will be like cows and horses in the future" "You are talking nonsense!  Yang Shen shouted at her again, "Listen to what you are saying!"  Will the Yang family starve you and your nephews and nieces?  !  " Yang Yue glanced at her eldest brother. If the Li family was overthrown, the Yang family would not let her be exiled or fall into a cult for the sake of face. She could escape the sea of ??misery with Li, but she wanted to keep her little family.  Yeah. That¡¯s her natal family! Oh, this natal family is nothing without her biological mother. In the future, she will just live in this family.  She didn't go to refute her elder brother. After all, this was her last resort. But now, she still wanted to give it a try. She looked at Shen Rui steadily and said almost word by word: "Brother-in-law, you know San Lang best."  Craftsmanship, brother-in-law, please save Sanlang" Wang Yan endured the pain of his sprained foot and walked to Yang Yue, whispering in her ear: "The walls have ears!  And you should also think carefully, don't let the wind be the rain, and don't let that wife take advantage of you.  " After saying that, he raised his voice and asked the maid to fetch water for my aunt to cleanse her face and take Yang Yue away. But Yang Yue remained motionless, neither crying nor fussing. He only stared at Shen Rui and said: "Brother-in-law, you can use it.  Saburo.  " The tone was firm. Although he knew that it would be useless for him, Shen Rui, to swear to heaven at this moment. In the final analysis, it depends on the Holy Will. But Shen Rui still said: "Zi Che is a genius.  " Yang Yue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, straightened her body and bowed, said nothing more, turned around and left. With such a commotion, Mrs. Yu over there was so angry that she felt heartache and asked the imperial doctor. " Shen  Rui didn't want to go over to see her anymore. After saying hello, he followed Yang Shen directly to the study. Facing Shen Rui, a member of his own family, Yang Shen had nothing to hide. He apologized and said in a low voice that he had failed to discipline his second sister.  The Yang family didn¡¯t send any news to Yang Yue last night because they were afraid of getting into trouble, but how could they not pay attention to the in-laws? ¡°It¡¯s just that this time it¡¯s really difficult.  There is no further information, and we don¡¯t even know where the person is being held.  "Yang Shen frowned and said. Shen Rui knew nothing about this matter and secretly wondered why Zhang Hui didn't send a message. Even the Eight Immortals didn't make any move. "Shen Rui is responsible for such a big matter.  He was too busy to hit the back of his head and had no time to look at each other, so there was no way he wouldn't come over to let him know "Or maybe it's the Dongchang side?  "Yang Shen asked in a low voice. The East Factory is now in the hands of Gu Dayong, and Gu Dayong and Liu Jin have been at odds for more than a day or two. Shen Rui shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say.  Xu is Dongchang.  Maybe" He pointed to the sky. "If Brother Shou wants to ask questions, no one in Jinyiwei will dare to reveal it. However, it is not impossible to say that it is Gu Dayong. He Shen Rui,  Both Li Yanqing and Zhang Yong were on good terms with each other. Although Gu Dayong was not on good terms with Liu Jin, his relationship with Zhang Yong was not good either. There was competition among the Eight Tigers, and the struggle for power was far more intense than usual.  As the two closest friends to the emperor, the little emperor may not be happy to see the two of them wearing a pair of trousers. Gu Dayong created some conflicts and put the discord between the two on the surface to reassure the emperor.  It was considered a routine operation. After a while, Yang Tinghe's chief attendant came to greet him. In the secret room, Yang Tinghe rubbed his brows tiredly. Since the Liu Jin incident, he had been having a headache every time someone impeached him.  Issues with the Ministry of Industry will be brought to bear on Li Hao's in-laws, the Yang family. Whoever is called the impeachment official is also a heirloom of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Where is the system?  At times like this, there are even more bullets flying.  Yang Tinghe became more and more embarrassed to speak, and really felt that there was no need to speak.  In the past, Li Yanqing always made meritorious service in making ordnance. His merits and demerits were balanced, and his life was always saved.  As for the official position, there is no need to think about it.  However, in fact, Li Yanqing is probably more dangerous than Li Hao.  It is not an exaggeration to say that the ordnance Li Yanqing is currently researching is "an important weapon of the country", and it is not allowed to be leaked in the slightest.  If the Tian family wants to use him, then that's all. If he doesn't use him, then I'm afraid there is no such thing as "exile" or "relegation to common people", and he will simply be dead.  After all, only the dead can keep secrets.  "Your Majesty, I still miss my old friendship." Yang Tinghe said helplessly.  I don¡¯t know if this old relationship is about Li Yanqing¡¯s meritorious service, or because he was once the emperor¡¯s master.  "It is not an exaggeration to say that Zi Che is an unparalleled genius. Nowadays, there is a shortage of talented people everywhere, so we should make full use of them." Shen Rui said hurriedly.  Aside from personal relationships, just say how rare scientific and technological talents such in Li Yanqing are!  Shen Rui wanted to keep him alive.  ¡°It¡¯s just that due to the current situation, I can¡¯t speak out easily for fear of backfire.  But there is no reason to give up!  "Mr. Li has made great achievements in water conservancy projects. If" Shen Rui really wanted to save the technological seeds for the Ming Dynasty, so he hesitated before telling Yang Tinghe his previous plan, "My son-in-law wants to report it to the Ming Emperor and let the Li family and his son  Go to Shandong and improve water conservancy. If you can benefit one party, you will atone for your sins." Yang Shen couldn't help but said: "Heng Yun, don't be impulsive. Think about it. Jin Yiwei can take Master Li away without making any noise. It's not clear what the emperor means now.  We want to protect Zi Che, but we must take a long-term approach and ask for it before the emperor. If Xu makes Long Yan displeased, we will lose room for maneuver and even harm you." Yang Tinghe also waved his hand and said: "Let's go ahead.  Don't worry about it now that you have the news about Li Xi. Zi Che is fine for now, so don't worry too much." He changed the topic and asked Shen Rui how his recent errands were.  Shen Rui briefly summarized the recent house raids, and then talked about the officials involved with King Ning. Finally, he also told Yang Tinghe about Zhang Hao's affairs that He Taizhi had just mentioned.  Zhang Hao is half of the Shen family, so he has to deal with one or two things without involving the Shen family.  Yang Tinghe reassured Shen Rui. Firstly, the emperor knew what was going on, and secondly, since he was suspicious of Zhang Hao, he would deal with it directly when there were signs and would never allow him to get out of hand.  When it came to Zhang Hao's invitation to welcome Xie and move back to the court, Yang Tinghe also brought up cabinet matters.  Now in the cabinet, in addition to the resignation of Liu Yu, Wang Hao has also resigned due to old age and illness because of his slight involvement with Jiao Fang and Liu Jin. Only three people, Li Dongyang, Wang Hua, and Yang Tinghe, are left. The emperor has made it clear that he will join.  Of course, it is impossible for Liu Jian and Xie Qian to come back.  "The emperor wants to transfer Yang Yiqing back to Beijing to join the cabinet, but the northwest of Wangge is strong and stable, and Yang Yiqing is not needed. No," Yang Tinghe said.  Shen Rui was slightly surprised when he heard this, because Wang Hua and Yang Yiqing had a good relationship, and Wang Hua had been hindered by Liu Jian when he entered the cabinet. After this experience, he would not be able to block other people's opinions.  But it soon became clear why.  "Mr. Li Ge also recommended Yang Yiqing." Yang Tinghe said, "Mr. Wang Ge recommended Fei Hong. I recommended Jin Gui." He paused and said meaningfully, "Wang Bo'an will not stay here forever.  Nanjing. "The cabinet is never monolithic.  If everything was really monolithic, the emperor would not be able to sleep.  The three pavilion elders cooperate and restrain each other, which is the situation that the emperor is most happy to see.  Those who can reach the position of Pavilion Elder are not living Bodhisattvas who are indifferent to the world. People in the fame and fortune market have their own plans.  In terms of friendship, Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing are closer. When Yang Yiqing was suppressed by Liu Jin, Li Dongyang tried his best to preserve it. In comparison, Wang Hua's little friendship is insignificant.  "Wang Hua has always been in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, and Fei Hong can be regarded as his subordinate.  Moreover, Fei Hong gained the emperor's favor because of this vassal reform, and he had great hopes of joining the cabinet.  Jin Gui and Yang Tinghe were both members of the imperial party who came from Zhan Shifu, and they had an irreversible friendship with Mao Cheng. They were both members of the Yang party.  Because it involves teachers and masters, Shen Rui is reluctant to speak, so he just keeps silent.  He didn¡¯t want to return to Beijing because he didn¡¯t want to get involved in such a situation.  "This is just the selection of the cabinet. The next positions in the six ministries and nine ministers and the yamen in Beijing will be vacated by Liu Jin's downfall. It will be a chess game for the cabinet elders to see how they will decide.  Shen Rui was stunned for a momentI want to go back to Shandong.  Sure enough, Yang Tinghe said again: "The emperor has transferred Liang Chu back to the capital, and He Jian is here again. I think it is the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War." Liang Chu was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Because Liu Jin wanted to promote Zhang Cai to the throne, he found Liang Chu in a different way.  He was stored in the wrong place and moved to the left to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing.  He Jianze was the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing who had just been framed by Wei Bin.  Now that Zhang Cai and Cao Yuan have been dismissed, it is normal for Liang Chu and He Jian to fill these two positions.  This also confirms Yang Tinghe's sentence from the side, "The emperor still misses his old feelings."  This is good news for Shen Rui. He Jian is an old friend of the Shen family, and Liang Chu was the examiner for the third year of Zhengde, so he can be regarded as Shen Rui's teacher.  "The emperor wants you to go to the Sixth Ministry, the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Household Affairs. What do you mean?" Yang Tinghe asked Shen Rui.  With Shen Rui's current official rank, he would be the Minister of the Sixth Ministry. With the help of the Holy Family, after a few years of seniority, he would be among the Nine Ministers at the age of three.  ??Looking further ahead, he has made more contributions. After Yang Tinghe retired, he pushed him and entered the cabinet, and he reached the peak of civil servants.  At his current age, he is indeed on a bright road!  However, Shen Rui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I have long wanted to inform my father-in-law and eldest brother. I think something happened in Beijing, so I will return to Shandong." Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen were both startled.  Yang Shenqi asked: "Then why do you suddenly want to go back to Shandong? The emperor has put so much emphasis on you, obviously he wants to keep you in the capital!" "The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Accounts all chose me because the emperor thought that I could do practical things. It's just because of my appearance.  In Beijing, many things cannot be done by oneself, and it is difficult to implement them." Shen Rui sighed.  "It is better to get things done at the local level. Not to mention paying a lot of money and gifts for the imperial court. Even if it benefits the people, it is not in vain to study hard for more than ten years." He met the eyes of the Yang family and his son.  , said seriously: "What's more, now, the relatives and friends of the Shen family's children are all high-ranking officials. If I stay in Beijing again, I'm afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing." Yang Shen was surprised for a moment, then fell silent.  A careful inventory shows that Shen Rui's master is the elder of the pavilion, his father-in-law is the elder of the pavilion, his teacher is the minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, his uncle is the minister of Dali Temple, and the Shen family's in-laws include Mao Cheng, a Hanlin scholar, and the Zhang family.  Among the children of the Shen family, Shen Li is the envoy to Huguang, Shen Xuan participates in politics for Shanxi, Shen Ying has been promoted to Shaozhan, and Shen Rui is not a minor official.  There are also several fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade officials such as Shen Jin, Shen Quan, and Shen Lin.  There are also many high-ranking families who have good relations with Shen Rui. The British Duke's Mansion, Wu Jingbo's Mansion, and Chun'an Princess's Mansion are all top families.  His close friend Zhang Yong will be in charge of the Royal Guards. Zhang Yong, who has a deep connection with the emperor, is about to become the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department. Liu Zhong, who has always been by the emperor's side, is also the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs department.  When Shen Rui was in office, perhaps no one would examine these many relationships in detail.  Once Shen Rui stays in Beijing and becomes a high-ranking official, this huge and sparkling network of people will be exposed in front of everyone.  Who is not afraid?  Even if the holy family is solemn, how can it be defeated by a crowd of mouths, gold, gold and bones?  !  The young emperor's thoughts are unpredictable.  Even Yang Tinghe rubbed his eyebrows with his thumb a little harder.  After a long while, Yang Shen whispered: "Shandong is indeed managed by you. If you go back, it will be a blessing to the people of Qilu. It's just just alas" Yang Tinghe waved his hand, and Yang Shen stopped talking.  More words.  Yang Tinghe twirled his long beard under his chin and mused: "This time, Your Majesty will also receive a reward. If you take another step it is extremely rare for you to be able to take charge of a country at such a young age. Since you have this heart,  Just do your work down-to-earth, not only for the benefit of the people, but also for your own qualifications. When you return to Beijing someday" He paused, but the three people present all understood it tacitly.  "Now Shen Rui's contribution is not small. If he saves for another three to five years, he will give His Majesty a prosperous Shandong, and he will be able to sit in any position in Beijing. It will be justified."  Shen Ruiyuan was still worried that Yang Tinghe would not agree. After all, he would be a big help to Yang Tinghe in this chess game.  Now that he saw that Yang Tinghe was considering everything for him, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.  When we talk about the situation in the DPRK, we must not mention the many people who were falsely accused by Liu Jin and were demoted and dismissed from office. Now that Liu Jin has fallen, these people have been redressed, rehabilitated, or promoted.  Yang Shen mentioned the Lan family. Wang Ding, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was recommended by Zhang Cai and also belonged to the eunuch party. He has been dismissed. Lan Zhang should be able to return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and succeed Wang Ding. It will not be difficult.  "I just hope that Senior Brother Lantian can win the gold medal next spring." Yang Shen said.  Lan Zhang was originally demoted to be the general magistrate of Fuzhou, while the official of Fuzhou PrefectureIt is adjacent to Longxing Mansion where Ning Fan is located. ?? Lan Zhang has been in Jiangxi for several years, and Shen Ruiyuan thought that he could be used as an internal correspondent. However, with such a good official position as the Censor of the Capital Procuratorate in front of him, he could not bring it up again.  "I could only briefly talk about some of Prince Ning's arrangements in Beijing, hoping that Yang Tinghe could mobilize one or two trustworthy disciples to go to Jiangxi.  Yang Tinghe nodded in agreement, saying that he would discuss suitable candidates with his staff, and wrote a letter to Lan Zhang, asking him to recommend some local talents in Jiangxi.  Speaking of Jiangxi and Prince Ning, Shen Rui couldn't help but talk about what He Taizhi said about Zhang Hao before.  Yang Tinghe said calmly: "There are actually many people in the Central Committee of the DPRK shouting to welcome Liu and Xie back to the DPRK." He did not say anything, but his expression said everything - that is absolutely impossible.  The emperor doesn¡¯t like Liu Xie, the two cabinet ministers. Do the current cabinet members like him?  Who would like these seniors to come back to guide the work?  In particular, there was Wang Hua, who was blocked by Liu Xie at the beginning, and Xiaozong was unable to join the cabinet.  It is too generous not to come back with revenge now, and it is absolutely impossible to get him to pull him out.  As for Zhang Hao, Yang Tinghe didn't care. Not to mention that his surname was not Xie. Even if he was the biological son and grandson of Mr. Xie Ge, he was only a seventh-rank official and could not make any waves in the capital.  However, Yang Tinghe still asked Shen Rui to report Zhang Suo's incident to the young emperor first, to prevent others from colluding with the vassal king and bringing down the Shen family.  Shen Rui will never hide such things from him.  Weng and his son-in-law talked about the details of the royal prelude and the layout of Shanxi and Shandong. During this period, guests continued to visit, including important officials from the court. The chief attendant had to bite the bullet and report outside the secret room.  Thinking about the carriages and horses parked outside the house, you can see how busy Yang Tinghe is. Shen Rui also has official business and cannot stay for a long time, so he politely declined the Yang family's meal and said goodbye to his father-in-law and brother-in-law to come out.  Today, Wang Hua¡¯s cabinet was on duty, and Shen Rui went to do some errands. He planned to take a break from Wang Hua in a few days before taking time to visit him, and then seek Wang Hua¡¯s support for the construction of the Shandong Naval Academy.  But now that he was busy, he had no free time, and Wang Hua was also extremely busy and never took a break.  In the past few days, the overall situation in the court has been slowly settled.  Yang Yiqing, who was recommended by Li Dongyang, was only appointed Prince Shaobao and given gold coins. He was not transferred to Beijing. He was transferred to Zuodu Censor and still took charge of the military affairs of the three towns.  Jin Gui, recommended by Yang Tinghe, was only promoted from Minister of Civil Affairs to Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but was not able to enter the cabinet.  Fei Hong, the Minister of Rites recommended by Wang Hua, joined the cabinet.  It took only a few months for He Jian to recover from his fall, but he had already changed from the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing to the Minister of the Ministry of War. I don¡¯t know if this should be regarded as a blessing in disguise.  Liang Chuze, who was also recalled from Nanjing, was the most unexpected. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out is the emperor who called him back to his official position and reinstated him as minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but unexpectedly he was promoted to bachelor of Huagaidian and joined the cabinet to assist in government.  The first memorial written by Liang Chu after he entered the cabinet was to talk about the disasters he saw in Henan when he returned to the capital. He asked the court to send capable people to provide relief as soon as possible. Otherwise, after winter, the disaster would become more and more uncontrollable, and he would freeze to death and starve to death.  How many people are there, and how many people have fallen into disgrace and become bandits, causing harm to the place.  And the candidate he recommended for disaster relief was Shen Rui, Shandong Chief Envoy.
