In the typical "Jong Li Copywriting", Li Zhongwen, the magistrate of Ningbo, sent Feng Ersheng, a small official, to Cixi County for business.

It is the first "official rule" case of Daming's founding! Zhu Yuanzhang found out about Feng Ersheng and was overjoyed. He immediately promoted the magistrate in Ningbo, Qin Wei. The former magistrate was demoted to Cixi County Cheng and just fell out with Qin. I also gave instructions to Li Zhongwen: Do you still want to be a county magistrate?

Good-natured "Chen Yezai"

How good-tempered is this guy? Officialdom met the boss and subordinates with smiles, and they didn't care how much they suffered. Once a friend from afar visited his house, just in time for his wife to lose her temper with him and asked her to make tea, but she said' it's not cooked' and asked her to get the fruit, but she said' I didn't buy it. So in front of outsiders, Chen Yin just walked over and said, "Let it go", taking friends around him as jokes. Chen's image as a coward spread like wildfire.

However, the spies in the West Factory quickly became rampant, broke into the home of Yang Shiwei, the head of the Ministry of War, in the middle of the night, and dragged the Yang Shiwei family into the yard to be tortured. Such a bad behavior made the ministers of the DPRK, who were usually five or six people, hide and seek, but when they saw Chen Hao "Chen Yin" climbing the back wall of Yang Shiwei, they shouted at the spies in the West Factory: I am Chen Yin, editor of the Imperial Academy, and you set up a court to trample on the national laws. See how I hit you tomorrow! An angry remark actually scared the evil spies in the West Factory to run away with oil on their feet.

The so-called strength of character, like "Chen" at the moment, is not so imposing on weekdays, but it is at the critical moment that you can see the hero.
