The twenty-sixth year of Jiajing (1547) was a very unusual year, which was characterized by the imperial examination in that year. Because there are several names on the admission list of this Jinshi exam: Zhang, Yin Shizhan and Wang Shizhen. Needless to say, Zhang, Yin Shizhan are important cabinet ministers and people of the hour, and this Mr. Wang Shizhen is worth mentioning. He was the first of the "last seven sons" in Ming Dynasty, and he dominated the literary world for more than 20 years. What is more legendary is that he is said to be idle and wrote a book "Jin Ping Mei". Of course, Mr. Wang Shizhen is only one of the suspects of the author of this book, but his reputation and far-reaching influence are shocking. It was a long time ago. If it had been hundreds of years ago, Mr. Wang would have been a superb star. And when the couple lined up neatly and strode out of Daming Gate with a glorious smile, these four guys were occupying the most cutting-edge and scenic position. Can walk in front of the team, because they have enough capital, is the top of that subject, and Yin Shizhan is the top two. Wang Shizhen is a cinch. His father, Wang You, is a second-rate official in Douchayuan. In the eyes of people at that time, this is a group of people who are destined to make contributions and go down in history. However, behind that team, there is a man of few words. Compared with the previous four, this person is really nothing. He comes from a poor family, has no background, and his exam results are average. He's not Jishi Shu. Generally speaking, the ultimate fate of this person is to be sent abroad as a county magistrate, or to mix positions in six departments and fight for qualifications until retirement. History likes to joke, but this man who has been ignored by everyone has finally become a great man. When, Yin Shizhan, Wang Shizhen, once the man of the hour, were buried in the yellow sand of history and forgotten by countless people, almost all history textbooks recorded his name, and only Zhang could match his brilliance. Yang Jisheng, even in another 500 years, the name will still shine in history. Yang Jisheng, an adult in Hebei Province, was born in the fifth year of Zheng De (15 10), and his family was very poor. Yang Jisheng is not only poor, but also bitter, because when he was seven years old, his mother died and his father was not idle, so he found a stepmother. More unfortunately, this stepmother is not a fuel-saving lamp and lacks the spirit of fraternity. She didn't regard him as her son, only let him do housework. In his miserable childhood, Yang Jisheng began to grow up. Yang Jisheng, a child laborer, whose main job is herding cattle, has no parents' love and pocket money, and even gets beaten when he makes mistakes. However, Yang Jisheng had no choice but to live like this day by day. Suddenly one day, when he brought the cow home, he said this to his family: "I want to study." In the Ming Dynasty when there was no hope project, this sentence was a joke to Yang Jisheng's family. There is no money at home, even if there is money, it is not your turn. Yang Jisheng's brother immediately gave him a contemptuous answer: "How old are you and what books do you read?" "I can herd cattle, but I can't study?" A stubborn voice answered like this. However, stubbornness can't solve the problem. Yang Jisheng still can't go to school, but at his insistence, his parents finally allow him to go to a private school, but only if he does his job well (herding cattle). So every day after releasing the cows, Yang Jisheng would tie the cows in front of the school, and then stand outside the window or hide in the corner, enduring the contemptuous eyes of the students who had paid the tuition fees and listening carefully. This is already a luxury for him. After six years' persistence, Yang Jisheng's enthusiasm finally moved his parents, so they sent their 13-year-old son to a private school. Yang Jisheng studied hard here, lived up to expectations, and was admitted to the Scholar and Juren successively. However, Yang Jisheng, a juren, is still a poor man. Although you don't have to pay taxes, it won't be dark, and life is still very embarrassing. In order to save money for preparing for the exam, he entered imperial academy with a state subsidy. Here, he met the kind president of imperial academy, Xu Jie. As in the past, Jeff gave careful sympathy to every student's situation. Of course, as in the past, he doesn't remember most of them. Yang Jisheng is one of the most neglected people. As an ordinary Guo Jianzi in imperial academy, he has no bureaucratic background and no future in Jishi Shu. Naturally, there is no reason to be remembered by Xu Jie. But Xu Jie did not expect that ten years later, this poor and humble student would sacrifice his life and open the door to victory for him. In the Ming dynasty, if you want to be promoted, you have to take exams, but this level is too difficult. Bureaucratic children can't eat bitter, so they have to find another way. To inherit their father's hereditary position, you have to wait until his father dies or retires, which is not very reliable. So imperial academy is the best choice, because Guo-zi-jian diploma can be an official directly. Although there are few places, talking is better than nothing. Therefore, in imperial academy, where bureaucrats' children gather, Yang Jisheng has become a lonely alien. Students are extravagant and wasteful, but Yang Jisheng can only study every day and go to bed on time, because he has no money and can only rely on the poor subsidy of Guo Jian Zi. But Yang Jisheng was never ashamed of himself. He believes in his ability and doesn't need to rely on anyone. While the children of powerful people were fighting for the poor places, Yang Jisheng won the top prize in the 26th year of Jiajing (1547). Yang Jisheng's luck is really average. He was assigned to the cold yamen of Nanjing official department, became the master of Liu Pin, and later became the minister of war. Compared with his classmates, he has neither the bright future of Jishi Shu nor the generous welfare of local officials. However, Yang Jisheng didn't complain. He just works hard in silence. He is not a clever man, at least far worse than Zhang. Although he is diligent, diligence can never make up for his talent. He lacks the overall situation, can't engage in colleague relations, can't pull gangs, and his ability in government affairs is also very general. He knows his ability very well, but he doesn't care, because all this is enough for him from a poor family. Although the world is complicated and the officialdom is cunning, it is very simple for Yang Jisheng, because the only way for him to be an official is to serve the country and sympathize with the people. This is the mantra and slogan that most new officials must shout out. Many people shouted louder than him, but they didn't remember. Yang Jisheng remembered that he did it. As a child of a poor family, he is very satisfied and grateful. What he expects is to do a few things for the country and people in a down-to-earth manner. Therefore, when General Qiu wanted to open a "horse market" after the "change", he immediately stood up and wrote against the horse market. Qiu Luan was very angry, accused Yang Jisheng of being black, put him in prison and demoted him to a remote area. Didao is desolate and inhabited by ethnic minorities. Locals don't like reading, they just like making trouble. Being an official here is basically equivalent to labor reform. However, Yang Jisheng is fearless, because he is a simple man, living a simple life in a simple way. He lived in a humble house, taught local people to read and write, solved disputes, got something for nothing, and even the villagers in the barbarian land were influenced by him. Everyone calls him "yangfu". Those who live above the temple, stay away from the rivers and lakes and care about the people can be officials. Soon after, Qiu Luan plotted to perish. Jiajing remembered Yang Jisheng's suggestion and ordered to restore his status as a magistrate of a county. After January, he was promoted to the director of Nanjing Household Department, and three days later, he was promoted to Yuan Wailang of the Ministry of Punishment. Yang Jisheng, who was sitting in a helicopter, had not reached the summit, and he soon returned to Beijing. This time, his office is the Wu Xuan Department of the Ministry of War. The poorest part of the Ministry of War is the vocational department, and the richest part is undoubtedly the Wuxuan department. Military commanders are promoted and demoted, and they are free and rich with a stroke of the pen. Yang Jisheng, who has no background, got this position because of Yan Song's recommendation. Yan Song recommended Yang Jisheng, naturally not to appreciate his integrity and selflessness, but because Qiu Luan was his enemy, and Yang Jisheng once opposed Qiu Luan. In his view, the enemy of the enemy is his friend. But Yan Song didn't know. On the list of enemies in Yang Jisheng, Qiu Luan only ranks second, and the first position has always been reserved for his old man's house. Yan Song thinks that he can take advantage of the contradiction between Yang Jisheng and Qiu Luan, buy off this person with official positions and interests, and take him as his own. However, he was wrong because he didn't know Yang Jisheng. This is a man who has no personal vendetta, but only public anger in his heart. Even the whole person, as long as it is beneficial to the country, he has no complaints. It's called selflessness. Yan Song, who is too private to understand this character, is waiting for his new colleague to join him at home, but he didn't expect the road to destruction to be opened. When Yan Song was full of confidence, Yang Jisheng had already seen the truth. The political situation is dark and people's livelihood is depressed. The culprit of all this is Yan Song. The diligent cabinet records use corruption, bribery and nepotism, and they have done countless good deeds (not endless, but hard to find). He has himself in his heart, but no world. So Yang Jisheng decided to impeach this man. In the Ming Dynasty, impeachment was common. For example, if you are dissatisfied with someone, you can write an impeachment letter. If you have resentment against someone and need political struggle, you can write an impeachment letter. There are many reasons for impeachment, such as not paying attention to personal hygiene, wearing inappropriate clothes, not wearing a belt properly, and being ugly. In short, you can play as long as you want. In this environment, officials of the Ming Dynasty formed a habit. Generally speaking, it is extremely abnormal for an official to work at the deputy ministerial level and there are no more than a dozen bullets in the file. You impeach me, I impeach you, and the happy days pass day by day. It is not people who have been impeached for decades, but God. In the era of impeachment, such as eating and dressing, the ordinary Yang Jisheng is immortal because he used the most special impeachment method-death and disintegration. Many times, impeachment is a political means, in order to achieve a certain goal. It is not easy for everyone to be an official with the DPRK, and it is not easy to gain both fame and fortune. Impeach corruption, be less greedy next time and pay attention to your image. Even if impeachment looks bad, it's just cosmetic surgery. You come and I go, respectfully. Death is not a simple document, but an attitude and a determination. The accusation of impeachment is enough to kill the other party, and the object of impeachment is enough to decide his own life and death. The result of impeachment is a narrow escape. You know everything, you can say anything, you risked your life, you risked your life being disintegrated to die. Illegal death, either you die or I die! If it weren't for the dispute of killing his father and taking his wife, no one would use this trick. Yan Song didn't kill Yang Jisheng's father, let alone rob his wife. Instead, he promoted Yang Jisheng, hoping to bring him into the family. However, Yang Jisheng refused the opportunity to be promoted to a higher position and made up his mind to die illegally in Yan Song. Yan Song is not his enemy, but he is still angry, because Xia Yan is angry, because North Korea is angry, because all the people who died by Mongolian saber are angry, because the world is angry! It is only natural to take the world as your responsibility. It's not that he doesn't know the end of this matter. Shen Lian's experience is just around the corner. It's not that no one has advised him. Tang Shunzhi, who knows Wang Xuezhi's way and is familiar with the way of struggle, saw the signs in time. As a friend of Yang Jisheng, he once wrote to persuade: "We should pay attention to the immortal work, and finally the deacon should do it." As a direct disciple of Wang Xue's left wing (Nie Bao and Xu Jie belong to the right wing), Tang Shunzhi knew the political environment at that time very well, so he earnestly advised Yang Jisheng not to come forward to avoid disaster. Yang Jisheng read the letter, but just smiled. There is only one thing left in his life. Yang Jisheng went on a hunger strike for three days before writing to impeach him. This is the last free time in his life. Forty-two-year-old Yang Jisheng reviewed her past, from childhood poverty to the pursuit of youth, and survived the abuse of her stepmother and the framed by Qiu Luan. Now, he is the foreign minister of the Ministry of War, with a bright future and great achievements. Now, however, he is ready to give up everything to complete the great cause of death. Because Yang Jisheng, who herded cattle, Yang Jisheng, who suffered hardships, and Yang Jisheng, who had seen the darkness of officialdom, were still the Yang Jisheng. Yang Jisheng is a pure man in the dark. In the face of this suffocating darkness, he was powerless to resist and could only make that last cry. Although Yang Jisheng is not clever, he is not stupid. He knew very well that Tang Shunzhi was right. Death is really not a good way, but he has no better way. He has no money, no power, no background and hope of joining the cabinet, and no wisdom of Zhang and Xu Jie. After all, he is just an ordinary man, with ordinary talent and a peasant background. The only thing he has is his life. And he also knows the process after impeachment. Yan Song's false accusation, the torture of the Royal Guards, long-term imprisonment in prison, and, with luck, the executioner's broadsword. In such a horrible environment, there is nothing to expect from a narrow escape, only ten deaths and no life. However, he decided to do so. Knowing that you can't succeed, knowing that you will die, you are still generous. Generally speaking, this kind of behavior has many names, such as stupidity, overreaching, moth to the fire and so on. In the eyes of westerners, this is an incredible and illogical behavior. In China's ancient philosophy, this kind of behavior has a proper noun: knowing that you can't do it.
