Chen Yichen's good temper does not mean that he is easy to bully. Just as he was about to go up to argue with the man on horseback, Xu Fengyuan beside him grabbed him.

"Brother Chen, don't be impulsive. He is Wang Zhen's nephew Wang Shan."

If the playboys in the capital have to distinguish between levels, then Wang Shan is undoubtedly the top level.

Because Wang Zhen was a eunuch without a son, the descendants he could rely on were naturally nephews and nephews. In comparison, nephews belong to the bloodline of the father and were relatively closer, so Wang Shan was basically regarded as Wang Zhen’s half son.

You should know that this guy can no longer be described as arrogant in the capital, and even to the point where the law can no longer stop him.

The estrangement between Li Da and Zhao Hongjie was that Wang Shan was preparing to occupy the concubine of the Beijing Guard Command Room who died of illness. After being stopped by his wife from resisting, he turned around and said that the wife killed her husband, but instead wanted to imprison him.

What's even more outrageous is that Wang Wen, the right censor of the Censorate, dared not offend Wang Shan, so he simply gave up his wife to sign and plead guilty.

After pleading guilty, the case was transferred to Dali Temple for sentence. Shaoqing Xue Xuan, colleagues He Zusi, Gu Weijing and other officials were upright and found that it was an unjust case. They asked the inspector and censor who handled the case to retrial, but they were beaten back several times.

It was ridiculous enough to be wronged. He was unwilling to retrial after finding out that there was a problem. In anger, Xue Xuan directly submitted a memorial to impeach several of the persons in charge of the case.

This move aroused dissatisfaction with the Jinyiwei where Wang Shan was and the Censorate where Wang Wen was in charge. The two of them found Wang Zhen and turned the black and white, pointed out the deer as a horse, and forced the commander's wife and the officials of Dali Temple to imprison and sentenced them to death!

When officials in the court saw this, everyone was in danger. This was a bit too cruel. It would be fine if they didn't let the truth be told, but they still wanted to live.

If you don’t stand up and speak for Xue Xuan today, and you will be imprisoned and imprisoned tomorrow, who can stand up and speak up for justice?

Therefore, officials in the court visited the prison and submitted various memorials to carry out rescue operations.

After receiving the memorial, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty did not take it seriously and asked the people below to investigate and report it. At this point, it could be said that the treacherous ministers deceived the king and did not understand the truth.

As a result, after a re-investigation, Zhu Qizhen felt that the matter was getting worse and worse, so he wanted to cover up with Wang Zhen and Wang Shan.

At all, the Jinyiwei detained all the people involved in the case separately for interrogation. As for the wife and family of the commander who died of illness, they were sentenced to Lingchi and hanged. Several officials from Dali Temple were demoted to three levels in a row, and the chief officer Xue Xuan was sentenced to death.

In name, they claimed that each had punishment, but in fact, the punishments of both sides were completely in a state of unequality. Now more officials began to submit memorials, and even the Minister of War and other military personnel could not bear it. Under pressure, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty changed Xue Xuan's death penalty to a demotion of officials to the people.

It can be said that this is a complete unjust case, but under the control of powerful officials, even the emperor chose to cover up, and Wang Shan became a veritable "outlaw madman".

To be honest, Chen Yichen really couldn't afford to offend Wang Shan at this time.

Wang Shan didn't care about Chen Yichen, the little shrimp, and took his younger brothers to walk towards Xueling Pavilion.

The old mother's face showed a look of embarrassment and flattery, and said in a slight voice: "Young Master Wang, Miss Liushuang is not feeling well today. Why don't she be with her later?"

"The other girls in our Xueling Pavilion are also very beautiful, and the prince who is in charge of serving is very satisfied."

After hearing this, Wang Shan's expression suddenly became cold and threatened with a hint of threat in his tone: "Is there such a coincidence? Mom, if you were found to be a fool of me, the feeling of the imperial prison would be bad."

Today is the day to leave the Longmen in the imperial examination, so Wang Shan naturally knew this. He didn't believe that the courtesan Qin Liushuang was unwell by chance. She must have been booked and needed to accompany other guests.

Faced with the threat of the imperial prison, the old mother's face turned pale and big beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Because she knew very well that Wang Shan was definitely not just talking, but she really had the ability to get someone into the imperial prison and was punished. She was so old that she would probably not be able to come out alive if she went in.

So the old mother gritted her teeth and confessed: "It was Mr. He Pingyan who invited Miss Liushuang, who was on the way to come."

For Xueling Pavilion, both sides are people who cannot afford to offend, so let them compete for it themselves.

He Pingyan? The nephew of Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

He Pingyan's identity background appeared in Wang Shan's mind, which is also the advantage of Jinyiwei as a spy department.

Theoretically, the Minister of Personnel is at the top of the six ministries and has the title of "Heavenly Official". When power is strong, he can even fight against the cabinet ministers head-on.

When officials in Beijing meet high-ranking officials, they usually bow their hands and rarely kneel down. Only when they meet the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel will choose to kneel down to pay their respects. None of the other five ministers will be treated like this.

This shows that most of the time, the Minister of Personnel is on par with the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet in the eyes of other officials.

According to common sense, even if Wang Zhen is powerful, there is no need for Wang Shan to offend He Pingyan, who has the Minister of Personnel as his backer because of a prostitute.

However, by chance, Naiheng, the current Minister of Personnel, happened to be dependent on Wang Zhen, and was supported by him. If he wanted to climb one step further, then Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, would inevitably become a stumbling block.

There is an essential conflict of interest between the two sides, so Wang Shan naturally has no need to sell He Pingyan's face. He said arrogantly: "What kind of thing is He Pingyan? I will immediately ask Miss Liushuang to come out to accompany me, otherwise you will burn your Xueling Pavilion!"

"Yes, yes, as the prince said."

The old mother quickly nodded and said yes. Compared to literati like He Pingyan, she could at least make some sense. The Jinyiwei Qiu Ba like Wang Shan did not tell any truth. She would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain.

Seeing that the old mother met her request, Wang Shan showed a proud look on his face, and then he shouted and led a few people into the hall of Xueling Pavilion.

"Brother Shen, let's go in too."

Xu Fengyuan made a gesture of invitation. After Shen Yichen nodded, the two of them also walked into Xueling Pavilion.

Compared to the last time I came here, there was not much change and it was still very lively. Even as the students who had finished the exam arrived one after another, the lobby was already filled with crowds.

However, if you have money these days, you can’t do anything, and you can’t handle it by "adding money", so Shen Yichen and Xu Fengyuan still booked a private room, right next to Wangshan.

Seeing Shen Yichen and the others walking in, Wang Shan showed a contemptuous expression on his face. This young master wanted to argue with him just now, and he was so tired of living. As long as he said one more word, he would immediately escort him to the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison and learn carefully what some people can't afford to offend.

Facing Wang Shan's expression, Chen Yichen didn't care about it and pretended not to see it. He was not a very impulsive young man. When he was tolerant, he had to choose to be low-key. After all, the future was long.

At this moment, Qin Liushuang, the courtesan of the capital, rushed over with lotus steps. After seeing that it was Wang Shan, he immediately bowed and said, "I have seen Prince Wang."

Seeing Qin Liushuang arrive, Wang Shan immediately looked like a pig brother on his face. He even leaned over and put his hand on the shoulder of the courtesan, and said lustfully: "I haven't seen each other for a long time. Everyone in Qin is becoming more and more beautiful. Today is the only one who can have fun."

A look of disgust flashed across Qin Liushuang's eyes, but she quickly changed into a professional smile and said, "Of course I have to make Prince Wang happy."

"Okay, then let everyone in Qin and I come into the house."

Wang Shan hugged Qin Liushuang like this and was about to walk into the private room. However, when passing by Chen Yichen, Qin Liushuang bowed slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are Mr. Chen going to be fine recently?"

"Thank you, everyone, for your concern, it's great."

Chen Yichen smiled and bowed back the gift. He actually had no prejudice against the ancient brothel women. This is completely different from the modern concept of laughing at the poor and not the prostitute.

Because one has a choice, the other has almost no choice.

"Young Master Chen is enjoying his life, I'll go in first."

"please."

Listening to the conversation between Qin Liushuang and Chen Yichen, Wang Shan looked not very good-looking. He really didn't expect this kid to talk to the courtesan of the capital.

So he became jealous and glared at Chen Yichen fiercely. Just as he was about to attack, Qin Liushuang pulled and said, "Young Master Wang, today Xueling Pavilion has a batch of wine from the Western Regions, so you must taste it."

The beauty invited each other to drink fine wine. Wang Shan's heart was instantly melted, and he immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, just as everyone Qin said."

After saying that, he no longer cared about Chen Yichen and the group walked into the private room.

"Bah, see how long you can be rampant!"

Xu Fengyuan spitted out with anger on his face. This guy was nothing more than a uncle who was in power and didn't know what he was proud of.

This time, Chen Yichen calmed down. He just smiled and patted Xu Fengyuan on the shoulder. The two of them also entered the private room.

Because the matter was relatively secret, Chen Yichen did not ask the singer to accompany him. Xu Fengyuan continued to talk about the Fujian miners such as Ye Zongliu.

This time, the trade with Japanese slaves tasted the sweetness. They planned to expand the scale next, but the risks that followed would also increase. After all, the era of Longqing switch is not yet reached, overseas smuggling is a serious crime, and once the government detects it, they will face the encirclement of the navy.

In addition, the Japanese slaves have low credit, so it is difficult to ensure that they will not have the idea of ​​"eating black" and "eating black". Fujian miners have no power at sea, which is equivalent to being beaten and not fighting back.

Listening to Xu Fengyuan's description, Chen Yichen looked puzzled, and what he said was indeed a relatively difficult problem.

If you want to ensure the interests of overseas trade, you rely on nothing more than the strong ships and cannons. If you want to obtain the surrender of Japanese slaves, you have to put the sword on their necks.

It has only been more than ten years since Zheng He's last voyage to the West in the fifth year of Xuande (1430). The drawings of treasure ships should still be kept in the archives, and the craftsmen who made the ships survived, so it is not difficult to copy the grand occasion of voyage to the West.

The difficulty lies in how to convince all civil and military officials and the emperor.

You should know that Zheng He's voyage to the West is more about showing national strength and political intentions. Maintaining a huge fleet requires great financial support and consumption, which is purely a loss-making transaction.

If you want to change the concept of the dynasty, you must first make money. Put all Confucian benevolence, righteousness and morality aside to carry out the bloody and primitive accumulation of capitalism. Only those with high powers can force this to push forward, and they are far from reaching this level at present.

There is no way to change the upper level, and it is not reliable to start from the lower level to build a ship without permission.

The shipbuilding industry is not as secret as mining in deep mountains and forests. It must have a fixed place and a good harbor, as well as sufficient raw materials and craftsmen. If there is no protective umbrella on it, it may be too long to be the life.

"Let's endure it for now and trade in small batches and multiple times with Japanese slaves, so don't be afraid of trouble."

After thinking about it over and over again, Chen Yichen did not think of a good solution, and could only minimize trade risks on the existing basis.

"I understand below."

Xu Fengyuan Zheng nodded heavily. He also knew that this matter was too difficult and wanted to fundamentally solve the problem. Only when Chen Yichen took over the power in the court was allowed.

Just as Shen Yichen and Xu Fengyuan were talking, the noise of Wang Shan and others came from the box next door from time to time. After all, ancient buildings were mainly made of wooden structures, but they did not have thick reinforced concrete materials like later generations, and the sound insulation effect was really poor.

At this moment, a sound of sliding the door came from Wangshan's box, and the music of the singer's dance skills also paused.

"Damn it, who dares to post my uncle's evidence on the street so boldly? Are you impatient to live!"

Wang Shan roared, and even Chen Yichen, who was in the box next door, could hear it clearly.

At the same time, Chen Yichen also heard an extremely familiar voice reply: "Sir, after investigation, the subordinate found that it was probably done by Wang Yong, the prison guard of Jinyiwei. Since the incident of Liu Qiu, Wang Yong has been in a state of madness from time to time, saying that someone is going to pay his life for him."

After Liu Qiu was dismembered and died in history, many anecdotes have been circulated. The most famous one is the son of Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who was crazy about Liu Qiu, and grabbed his father's hair and fist to claim his life.

There are also several Jinyiwei Schools who were executed and died for various reasons. As for whether the cause of this death was caused by a ghost or a murder or a silence, it is unknown.

Wang Yong was also one of the parties involved in the imperial prison. In the past ten years of orthodox history, he listed Wang Zhen's crimes and wrote them on the thoroughfare. Later, he personally went to Wang Shan's mansion to expose his crimes, but was arrested and imprisoned on the spot.

The Ministry of Justice sentenced him to the crime of making confusing the public and to behead him! Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen still felt that it was not enough to exert this anger, so he increased his sentence to the punishment without having to surrender.

"Wang Yong, a lunatic, always sees his crazy nonsense, and I don't take it seriously. Since I want to die, I will satisfy his wish!"

"You inform Wang Yongming to come to my residence to meet him, and you will also circumvent his house to see if there is any handle left."
