Shen Shixing's eyelids kept leaping from time to time in the past two days, feeling the current situation was treacherous.

It made him, the chief assistant, a little overwhelmed.

He wanted to ask Emperor Wanli to speak alone, but he didn't dare, but to be precise, he was guilty and felt that his words had no weight and would not have any effect on Emperor Wanli.

As Liang Menglong, Wang Zhuan, and Zeng Shengwu said before, he, the chief assistant, "inaction", was at least still sitting in the position of the chief assistant. Once he sang against Emperor Wanli, the chief assistant's position would probably be lost.

Shen Shixing has realized this.

So he was very conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that he was incompetent as the chief minister, and on the other hand, he was worried about losing the position of the chief minister.

...

Amid the warm expectation, the results of Ming-Chengxin and counting Feng Bao's property finally came out.

In accordance with the will of Emperor Wanli, the investigation results of Liu Shouyou, commander of the Jinyiwei, were truthfully disclosed.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was filled with people.

All were surprised.

Who would have thought that Feng Bao would donate all his wealth in advance for free?

Who would have thought that Feng Bao, a greedy man, was generous and generous?

Now, those who support Feng Bao are happy for him and sigh at Feng Bao's cleverness;

While those who oppose Feng Bao were so angry that they gritted their teeth, they also admire Feng Bao's foresight.

Shen Shixing is relieved.

Liang Menglong also specially asked Feng Bao for this. On the way to Feng Bao's mansion, an eight-person sedan chair was carried over from the opposite side.

As early as the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the court clearly passed on the system of avoiding sedan chairs.

Any official with low rank traveling in a sedan chair and encountering officials with high rank on the road, they must stop the sedan chair and avoid the roadside. After the sedan chair and horse pass by, they can go back to the road.

For example, when the nine ministers encounter the sedan chairs of the cabinet's auxiliary ministers on the road, except for the Minister of Personnel, the rest will be avoided. The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Personnel can lift the curtains of each other and stick out their heads to bow and pass by.

If the lower-level officials meet the nine great ministers, they not only have to avoid the sedan chair, but also have to get off the sedan chair and kneel on the side of the road to see him off.

In short, there is a complete set of regulations on what level of officials to avoid sedan chairs.

After the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, although the sedan escape system was not as strict as before the Xuande period, officials did not dare not to abide by the general rules.

Therefore, for Liang Menglong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in such a huge Beijing city, no one dared to compete with him for the top of the head of the capital, except for the chief minister Shen Shixing.

However, today seems a bit evil.

Of course, Liang Menglong didn't have to worry about it. He was the Minister of Personnel, so he continued to move forward.

The sedan chairman opposite recognized Liang Menglong's sedan chair at a glance, so he quickly grindled the sedan chair bar and wanted to carry the sedan chair into the nearby alley.

When the person in the sedan chair saw that the sedan chair had changed direction, he quickly stamped his feet and shouted: "What are you going to do?"

"Master, we have to avoid sedan chairs. This is the rule and reason," replied the leader's squad.

"Whose sedan chair can you avoid?" the person in the sedan chair asked impatiently again.

"Lord Liang Menglong, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel."

“…”

Although he didn't lift the curtain to look in the sedan chair, Liang Menglong had already heard clearly who the person opposite was.

It turned out that it was Feng Bao's nephew Feng Bangning. That guy was drunk too much.

Feng Bangning originally lived in the countryside, and relied on Feng Bao's power to do whatever he wanted in the local area. Later, Feng Bao became the boss and the seal supervisor. In order to win over his descendants of the Ten Yin family, Emperor Wanli.

Feng Bao was an eunuch and had no son, so he gave this benefit to his nephew Feng Bangning.

He recommended Feng Bangning to Beijing and served as a sixth-rank commander in the Jinyiwei. According to the rules, he was promoted to the next level three years later, and Feng Bangning became the deputy envoy of the fifth-rank tutor.

Relying on Feng Bao's power in the capital, Feng Bangning's official position is not very good, but he is very awesome.

Liang Menglong had long heard that Feng Bao did have such a nephew, but although this nephew entered the public, he did not change his old habits and was domineering in the capital, and few people dared to provoke him.

Look, look, now he was sitting on the sedan chair with eight people. And when he saw him, the heavenly official, came, he not only did not avoid the sedan chair, but also shouted.

Fifth-rank officials like Feng Bangning, who saw Liang Menglong, the first-rank minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had to carry the sedan chair to the alley next to the street to avoid it. They had to come to the street and stand up and kneel down in front of the Tianguan's sedan chair.

However, today, Feng Bangning felt dizzy because he had a few more glasses of wine. He also believed that he had uncle Feng Bao as a backstage, so he didn't seem to take it seriously no matter what officials were.

Feng Bangning lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at him, and he saw a big sedan chair coming towards him.

In normal times, when Feng Bangning met a sedan chair below the third-rank minister on the road, he always whistled by the street and did not take people seriously at all.

But if you encounter the sedan chair of the Great Jiuqing, Feng Bangning would not dare to act rashly. He always obediently followed the court's sedan avoidance system and would do whatever he should do.

Because of avoiding sedan chairs, Feng Bang would rather have caused trouble more than once. The most famous of them was that he had a conflict with Yao Kuang, the clerk of Zhang Juzheng.

A few years have passed, but it seems that I still don’t have a long memory. But today is indeed different.

He was happy for his uncle and drank a few more drinks. After all, his uncle did not lose his official position, and Emperor Wanli did not punish his uncle. He drank too much and became more courageous.

Seeing that his sedan chairperson was avoiding the sedan chair, Feng Bangning stuck out his head and shouted, "You cowards, carry your sedan chair back to the street."

The leading sedan chairman just thought Feng Bangning was drunk and reminded in a low voice: "Master, the one who came opposite is the first-rank official Liang Menglong."

"Hmph, so what about Tianguan?" Feng Bangning cursed as if he was a rabbit egg, "I want to take a walk in the street today, and he is a sedan chair!"

The sedan chair owner ignored the disobedience and hurriedly called back and brought the sedan chair back.

At this time, Liang Menglong's sedan chair was less than twenty feet away from Feng Bangning's sedan chair.

Liang Menglong knew that it was Feng Bangning who blocked the way, he had already pulled his face down.

What he didn't expect was that Feng Bangning was unscrupulous and even dared to collide with his sedan chair.

While thinking, the two of them were in a big sedan chair.

They all stopped in the street.

"Tell him to get out!" Liang Menglong was a strange person and ordered the guards who accompanied the sedan chair.

The guard ran to Feng Bangning's sedan chair to negotiate, but didn't know what he said. Feng Bangning was unwilling to get out of the sedan chair, so he stuck his head out and shouted: "Mr. Wang, let's not interfere with the river water, go one by one."

"Rareless!" Liang Menglong shouted angrily.

At this time, there were already many people eating melons standing on the street. Feng Bangning was crazy when he drank. Seeing Liang Menglong cursing, he was not willing to be outdone. He spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground and said arrogantly: "Mr. Wang, why are you cursing?"

"Swear? I will punish you. The person who comes."

"arrive."

Twenty sedan guards stood up with a flash, each holding the open-shelf swords at their waists.
