Yang Jisheng is not only poor, but also very bitter, because his mother died when he was seven years old, and his father was not idle, so he found him a stepmother. Unfortunately, this stepmother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and lacks the spirit of fraternity. , did not treat him as a son, and only made him a handyman. In a difficult childhood, Yang Jisheng began to grow up. The child laborer Yang Jisheng's main job is to herd cattle. He has no parent's love or pocket money. If he makes a mistake, he will be beaten. However, Yang Jisheng has no choice but to live like this. Suddenly one day, when he was leading the cow home, he said something like this to his family: "I want to study." In the Ming Dynasty, when there was no Hope Project, this sentence was generally a joke to Yang Jisheng's family. If there is no money at home, even if there is, it will not be your turn. Yang Jisheng's brother immediately gave him a contemptuous answer: "How old are you, what book do you read?" "Can I read if I can herd cattle?" A stubborn voice replied. However, stubbornness could not solve the problem, Yang Jisheng still could not go to school, but at his insistence, his parents finally allowed him to go to a private school to audit, but only if he did his job well (herding cattle).So after herding cattle every day, Yang Jisheng would tie the cattle in front of the school, and then stand outside the window or hide in the corner, enduring the contempt of the students who had paid the tuition, and listening to the class carefully. For him, it was 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 successively passed the examination of Xiucai and Juren. However, Yang Jisheng was still a poor man. Although he no longer had to pay taxes, he would not be able to work and live in embarrassment. In order to save costs and prepare for the exam, he entered the Imperial Academy, which was subsidized by the state. Here, he met Xu Jie, the gracious principal of the Guozijian (sacrifice wine). As always, Xu Jie condoled to each student's situation carefully and meticulously. Of course, as always, he did not remember most of them. Yang Jisheng is among the most neglected people. As an ordinary student in the Imperial College, he has no bureaucratic background, nor the future of Shuji, and naturally he has no reason to be remembered by Xu Jie. But Xu Jie never imagined that ten years later, this poor and unremarkable student would sacrifice his life to open the door to victory for him.In the Ming Dynasty, if you wanted to be promoted, you had to take an exam, but this test was too difficult. The bureaucrats couldn't bear the hardship, so they had to find another way. To inherit the hereditary position of their father, they had to wait until the father died or retired. is not very reliable. Therefore, Guozijian has become the best choice, because the students can directly become officials. Although the number of places is very small, it is better than nothing. So in the Guozijian where the children of the bureaucrats gathered, Yang Jisheng became a lonely outlier. The classmates were extravagant and extravagant, but Yang Jisheng could only read every day and go to bed on time. Because he had no money, he could only rely on the poor subsidy of the students. But Yang Jisheng has never been ashamed, he believes in his own ability, he doesn't need to rely on anyone. When the sons of the powerful and nobles fought for the poor places, Yang Jisheng won the first place in the imperial examination in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547) and became a jinshi. Yang Jisheng's luck was really average. He was assigned to the Nanjing official department of the Leng Yamen, and became the chief of the sixth grade, and then he was changed to the military officer. Compared with his classmates, there is neither the bright future of Shuji Shi, nor the benefits of local officials. However, Yang Jisheng has no complaints, he just works silently and works hard.
Yang Jisheng is not a smart person, at least he is far worse than Zhang Juzheng. Although he is very diligent, diligence can never make up for talent. He lacks an overall view, does not engage in co-worker relationships, does not form gangs, and has a very general ability in government affairs. He is very aware of his ability, but he doesn't care, because for him from a poor background, all this is enough. Although the world is complicated and officialdom is cunning, it is very simple for him, because he has only one way of being an official: serving the country and showing compassion to the people. This is the mantra and slogan that most of the new officials must shout. Many people shout it louder than Yang Jisheng, but they don't remember it. Yang Jisheng remembered it, and he followed suit. As a child from a poor family, he is very content and grateful. All he expects is to do a few things for the country and the people in a down-to-earth manner.Therefore, when General Qiu Da wanted to open a "Mashi" after the "Revolution of Gengxu" and once again compromised and pretended to be a grandson, Yang Jisheng immediately stood up and wrote angrily against the horse market. Qiu Luan was very annoyed, so he sued Yang Jisheng for his black status, imprisoned him in the imperial prison, and demoted him to the remote area Didao. Didao is very desolate, with ethnic minorities living together. The locals do not like to read, but only like to make trouble. Being an official here is basically equivalent to reform through labor. However, Yang Jisheng is not afraid, because he is a simple person, living a simple life in a simple way. He ate rough food, lived in a shabby house, taught the locals to read and write, resolved disputes, and did not take anything or anything. Even the villagers in the barbarian land were influenced by him. Everyone called him "Father Yang". Those who live above temples, far from rivers and lakes, and worry about their people, can be officials. Not long after, Qiu Luan plotted to be defeated, and Jiajing remembered Yang Jisheng's good advice, and ordered him to be reinstated.Yang Jisheng, who was in the helicopter, had not reached the top yet, and soon he returned to the capital. This time his position was the Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War. The poorest place in the Ministry of War is the Division of Staff and Fang, and the richest is undoubtedly the Division of Wu Xuan. Generals can be promoted or relegated with a single stroke of the pen. They are free and rich, and they are fat. 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 to admire 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 was his friend. But Yan Song didn't know that on the list of Yang Jisheng's enemies, Qiu Luan 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, that he could buy this man with his position and interests, and that he could take him for his own use, but he was wrong because he didn't know Yang Jisheng. This is a person who has no personal hatred. He only has public anger in his heart. Even if he treats him personally, as long as it is beneficial to the country, he has no complaints. This is the so-called altruism. Yan Song, who is selfish and unfair, naturally cannot understand this kind of character. He is waiting at home for the new party to join, 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 political situation was dark and the people's livelihood was in decline. The culprit of all this was Yan Song. The good things he has lived can be described as innumerable (it's not that they can't be written, it's not easy to find), and he has himself in his heart, but there is no whole world. So Yang Jisheng decided to write a letter to impeach this person. In the Ming Dynasty, impeachment was commonplace. For example, if you don’t like someone, you can write to impeach, and if you have a grudge against someone, you can write to impeach, if political struggles need it, you can write to impeach, and you can find some work when you have nothing to do, or you can write to me Impeach. There are also various reasons for impeachment, such as not paying attention to personal hygiene, not wearing the right clothes, not tying the belt properly, and looking ugly.
In this environment, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had already developed a habit. If an official was at the third-rank deputy minister level, if there were not more than a dozen bullets in the file, it was a very abnormal thing. You impeach me, I impeach you, happy days go by day by day, and those who have been mixed for decades and have never been impeached once are not humans, but gods. In the era when impeachment is like eating and dressing, the ordinary and inconspicuous Yang Jisheng is so popular because he used the most special way 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 mix up a reputation. If you impeach corruption, you will be less corrupt next time. Impeachment etiquette, then pay attention to your image. , Even if the impeachment is not good-looking, at most it is to go to plastic surgery, you come and I, and respect each other.
And impeachment is not a simple document, it is an attitude, a determination, the charges of impeachment are charges that are enough to kill the other party, the object of impeachment is a person who is enough to decide his own life and death, and the result of impeachment is nine deaths. Knowing everything, saying everything, betting on life, risking death to impeach, is impeachment for death. If it weren't for the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of stealing the wife, no one would definitely use this trick. Yan Song didn't kill Yang Jisheng's father, let alone rob him. Wife, on the contrary, he promoted Yang Jisheng and hoped to bring him under the door. However, Yang Jisheng rejected the chance to get promoted and made 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 court, not angry about the people who died under the Mongolian saber, not angry about the world! Those who take the world as their own responsibility, yes.It's not that he didn't know the fate of doing this. The experience of Shen Lian was right in front of him. It was not that no one persuaded him. Tang Shunzhi, who was familiar with Wang Xue and was familiar with the way of struggle, saw the signs in time. As a friend of Yang Jisheng, he once wrote a letter. Advice: "I would like to pay attention to the fact that the immortal career should be done by deacons." As the direct disciple of Wang Xue's leftist (Nie Bao and Xu Jie belong to the rightist), Tang Shunzhi was very aware of the political environment at that time, so he persuaded him earnestly, hoping Yang Jisheng should not stand out in order to avoid disaster. Yang Jisheng read the letter, but he just laughed and didn't answer. There was only one thing left in his life. Before writing his impeachment letter, Yang Jisheng fasted for three days. This is the last free time in his life. Forty-two-year-old Yang Jisheng looks back on his past, from the poverty of childhood, to the pursuit of youth, through the abuse of his stepmother, through the frame of Qiu Luan, and now he , is a member of the Ministry of War's military elections, with a bright future and a long career. But now he is ready to give up everything to complete the great cause of death.
