Emperor Tianqi then brought up a red pen and issued an order, remembering something, and then said, "Let Zhang Shun send it to Zhang Qing..."

After Zhang Shun received the order, he was busy meeting Zhang Jingyi.

When he left the palace, he found that there were book buyers everywhere in the capital.

First, the emperor and Zhang Jingyi jointly compiled it, and then he killed someone by following the methods in the book.

Although some scholars are stubborn, they say that this may be just an accident.

But no matter how accident it is, it actually cannot be explained.

What's more, the people of the Ming Dynasty were actually pragmatists.

No matter which gods and Buddhas in heaven or which saint is useful, everyone will believe in whoever is useful.

As for those scholars with fame and fortune, they hold the Four Books and Five Classics tightly and refuse to let go. Are they stupid?

In fact, these people are not stupid at all.

Their distinction between them and the common people comes from the Four Books and Five Classics. Because I understand the Four Books and Five Classics, but you don’t understand it, so I have fame and fortune, but you don’t have fame and fortune.

So I take it for granted the heart, and you are the laborer. The so-called laborer who works hard to govern people, and laborer who works hard to govern people; those who treat people eat people, and those who treat people eat people; the common meaning of the world.

This means that I am a scholar, so I am responsible for governing you, and you are responsible for providing for me with the fruits of your labor. This is a matter of course.

The essence of these Four Books and Five Classics is actually the job of these scholars. Whether you believe it or not, you have to hold this iron job tightly and not let go. Even if you are struck by lightning, you will be stubborn.

After all, these Four Books and Five Classics are essentially the so-called food and clothing of millions of canal workers?

The business of studying involves countless people. How many great tribes have spent a lot of money to establish clan schools, and how many people have spent half their lives on these eight-legged essays. It is better to defend their own fundamental interests than defending famous religions.

These people seem pedantic, such as Li Wen... He insists on making trouble, but in essence, they are extremely smart because they defend their own interests.

However, there are many scholars who failed, but there are not so many things to pay attention to.

After all, there are only a limited number of people who can pass the imperial examination. Most of them take the exam every year and fail every time in the end. Gradually, they become discouraged.

They are also scholars, but now they don’t have the intention to do careers and are inevitably discriminated against when they are studying with fame. Therefore, many people simply go to find some other business.

Nowadays, these people have become the main force in buying this book.

Occasionally, there are some scholars who go to buy them. When they buy them, they are amazed while watching them.

Because among the hundreds of thousands of reasons, although there are only many questions, in fact... it is something that shapes the world view. In these questions, people start to imagine a brand new world.

In this world, people can make everything and take it for themselves.

The popularity of this book, to a certain extent... has actually begun to gradually enlighten people.

However, Zhang Jingyi received the order, which made Zhang Jingyi smelter steel and ordered Zhang Jingyi to jointly build a steel workshop with the palace to recruit skilled craftsmen.

Zhang Jingyi never expected that Emperor Tianqi was so good at this.

In fact, in Fengqiu County, steel furnaces have been available for a long time, but the scale is not large.

Emperor Aoki obviously hopes to build a larger scale, higher level of skills and smelting.

As soon as Zhang Jing received the order and felt relieved, she asked if Zhang Shun had eaten.

Zhang Shun said obediently: "I dare not disturb my godfather, my son has to rush to reply to the imperial edict."

Zhang Jing nodded, not leaving him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jing summoned Lu Xiangsheng and said, "This is Your Majesty's will. We have to make a lot of steel, but... Now we will build some small steel stoves first, and try it first... The craftsmen transferred some from Fengqiu, and a group of them locally are recruiting!"

Zhang Jingyi continued generously: "Now we have a legitimate identity, so...even if we poach people from the manufacturing bureau, it doesn't matter. The money... the Zhang family will also give out part of the palace... Don't worry, as much as you want."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yes."

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng left, Deng Jian came in and said, "Then Tian Shenglan still doesn't speak, this dog."

As he said that, Deng Jian looked angry. Seeing that there was a cup of tea on Zhang Jing's desk, he was not polite and took it up and drank it.

Zhang Jingyi glared at him and cursed: "Is there any rules?"

Deng Jian drank all the tea in one breath and then said, "This person is very smart...knowing that once he speaks, not only will the entire Tian family have nothing since then, but his sin is enough to make him die a hundred times. As long as he doesn't say it, he can live forever...but..."

"But what?" Zhang Jingyi was not surprised that Tian Shenglan refused to speak. She was actually very smart. She knew that she was powerful. Even if she was really punished, she would never say it.

Deng Jian said: "But he told me that many ministers and generals were bribed by them and had a close relationship with them. He also said that His Majesty and we were all sitting among the dry firewood. As long as there was a spark, they would burn to ashes. I advise us not to continue investigating. Humph, this dog is actually a terrifying thing."

Zhang Jingyi's expression became solemn, thinking about something, and then shook his head and said, "He is not threatening us, he is surviving."

"Survival?" Deng Jian was stunned and said, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "He provided these messages, of course it was terrible. There were many ministers and generals involved, that is, they could attack the emperor once, and attack and assassinate the second time, which was enough to arouse our alertness. In this way, we had to ask something from him, and we must not let him get into an accident, right?"

Deng Jian nodded.

Zhang Jingyi said again: "With the wealth that the Tian family is hiding, and there are so many suspected 'disrupting parties'. I ask you, are you willing to touch Tian Shenglan's finger?"

Deng Jian frowned and said, "But if I continue to waste this, I will lose my patience sooner or later..."

"Of course..." Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Sooner or later we will lose patience, so this is just Tian Shenglan's delaying strategy. He is now trying to ensure the safety of his days. But let's think about it differently, maybe... he only hopes to ensure the safety of his days?"

"You mean..." Deng Jian said in surprise: "He believes someone will come to save him?"

"Even if you don't save him, I'm afraid many people are starting to be anxious now..." Zhang Jing said: "So... anything is possible next. On the one hand, someone should come to rob the prison, and on the other hand, you should also beware... Someone is not good for His Majesty and us. As the saying goes, a dog is anxious, but he can do anything."

Deng Jian fell into deep thought.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "I am very curious now. How many people have they bribed over the years? When they incited the troops in Shanhaiguan to cause chaos, if His Majesty was killed, then what role would Tian Shenglan stay in the capital?"

Deng Jian said: "What do you mean... Tian Shenglan is in the capital... for the aftermath?"

"Yes." Zhang Jing said: "It's the aftermath, but how can he deal with it? Or why did he have to enter the pass to deal with it? This means that he must have contacted some people, waiting for the news that the emperor was killed by the rioters. As long as the news reaches the capital, he and his accomplices will take the opportunity to make trouble in the capital... Therefore, he said that he knew many ministers... This is not surprising at all. If he said he didn't know him, he would be surprised."

Deng Jian was silent for a moment.

Zhang Jing looked at Deng Jian's depressed look and smiled again, saying, "I have been imprisoning him for so long. It seems that I have to get some news from him. I can't let this person continue to be free. Moreover... God knows what his accomplices outside will plan."

Deng Jian said: "This person... will definitely not speak. I have tried it many times."

Zhang Jingyi smiled calmly and said, "I think...I can give it a try."

As soon as Zhang Jing said that, he set off and soon arrived at the prison that he had been away from for a long time.

Tian Shenglan was also taken to the interrogation room.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jingyi, Tian Shenglan felt very happy, and a faint smile was obviously on her face.

He sat down and stared at Zhang Jing and said, "Marquis of Xinxian, long time no see."

Such psychological quality is amazing.

However, people like Tian Shenglan are both smart and knowledgeable, and it is not easy to penetrate his psychological defense.

As soon as Zhang Jing sat down, she stared at Tian Shenglan and said lightly: "You are used to living here."

Zhang Jingyi's tone seemed careless.

Tian Shenglan said calmly: "With the care of Xinxian Hou, I am living here, so I am fine."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "If this happens, I will feel relieved. Do you miss your family here?"

Tian Shenglan smiled slightly and stared at Zhang Jingyi. After thinking about it, she said, "I thought about it, but it's best not to think about it. I'm not lucky, I'm afraid I won't be with them for the rest of my life. I'm really a pity! Since that's the case... Then I'll accept my fate!"

"The Tian family... have indeed done some things that are angry and resentful in the past century. If you really have something wrong, then let me take responsibility. As for them... they are naturally safe and safe. I think there will be no disasters in this life."

Zhang Jing put his hand on the desk, tapping the desk with his fingertips, making a slight buckle.

Seeing that Zhang Jingyi didn't speak, Tian Shenglan was not nervous. She kept smiling and looked calm and composed.

But... Zhang Jingyi's eyes suddenly opened, and his leisurely expression just now swept away, and a sharp look flashed through his eyes, and said coldly: "Can they really be free from disasters and difficulties? I think... it's not the case."
