Zhang Wei is in his forties, with a medium build, a standard Guozi face, his eyes are quite bright, he is wearing a set of Confucian clothes, and the whole person looks quite scholarly.

Following Lin Jinyuan through the courtyard into the study, he saw Lin Haoran sitting in front of the bright window drinking tea, he stepped forward and saluted Lin Haoran respectfully: "I've seen senior brother!" ”

"Brother Hongtu, sit down!" Lin Haoran's face showed a smile, and he raised his hand to Zhang Wei and said in a friendly manner.

Zhang Wei looked very polite, and bowed his hand again: "Senior Brother Xie!" ”

Lin Fu led the people here, and then turned around and was busy making tea for Zhang Wei.

"Brother Hongtu, I already told our teacher yesterday about the arrangements for you, and he said that he would try his best to help!" Lin Haoran held the tea cup on the table and said straight to the point.

Although he is already the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, his appeal in the imperial court is actually very limited. And if you want to push Zhang Wei to the position of governor of Ningxia, you must get the support of his father-in-law, so that you can have a chance to succeed.

It was precisely because of this that he also took the initiative to find the cheap father-in-law and followed some of his thoughts to Wu Shan. Fortunately, his father-in-law was not too pedantic, and Zhang Wei was indeed a capable official, so his father-in-law also agreed to his plan.

Zhang Wei nodded lightly, and his eyes responded frankly: "Thank you, senior brother, I also visited the teacher in person just now, and he can be regarded as expressing his attitude to me!" ”

"Did he show his attitude?" Lin Haoran was a little surprised by this, and asked curiously.

Zhang Wei has deep respect for Wu Shan, and said honestly: "The teacher said: If I can go to the local governor to serve as the governor, let me learn from you and do more practical things in the local area!" ”

In officialdom, many things will not be said directly, and Shangguan will always be vague, but you need to understand and figure it out. Now when Wu Shan talks about this, it is already equivalent to expressing his support for Zhang Wei to serve as the governor of Ningxia.

"The teacher is right, do more practical things in the local area, the people can see it, and the court can also see it!" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, looking slightly authentic.

Zhang Wei took the tea cup sent by Lin Jinyuan, but sighed bitterly: "Of course, I am following the teachings of my teacher and brother and doing more truth in the local area, but the world is declining, and it is not the past!" Even if you really see it, I'm afraid that many people will pretend not to see it, and they will cover up their own people's acts of adultery! ”

Since the current saint has practiced the method of checks and balances in power, the division between officials has tended to be serious, and then the phenomenon of ordinary gangs and factions has emerged. He is now branded with Wu or Lin, and he is destined not to be liked by the Xu Party, the Zhejiang Party and the Jin Party.

The current court no longer looks at what you have done and how good your personal ability is, but mainly depends on whether you are on the right team.

"Brother Hongtu, but what injustice has happened?" Lin Haoran looked at his emotions and didn't seem to be right, so he asked seriously.

Zhang Wei took a sip of tea, nodded slightly, and immediately asked seriously: "Senior brother, do you remember Yang Shangying?" ”

"Zhezhi General Army?" Lin Haoran has a good memory, even if he reports for his official position.

Zhang Wei put down the teacup and nodded lightly: "Yang Shangying's achievements are mediocre, but because he has something to do with Yang Bo, he replaced Lu Bo's position as the chief soldier of Zhejiang. Yesterday, Brother Ning Jiang came to me for a drink, but he said that this person was greedy and excessive, which made the officers and soldiers of Zhejiang Zhi complain, and now the matter was stabbed by the officials to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War did not intend to punish him! ”

When Lin Haoran heard that this was the case, he shook his head helplessly.

This is actually a disadvantage of the strong and weak military, many civilian officials like to reuse obedient generals, but obedient generals often have greed and no military talent, and the final consequence is to let the combat power of the Ming army continue to decline.

Lin Haoran held the teacup and said like an unpredictable prophet: "Brother Ning Jiang found you, I'm afraid he wants to drag you to find Wei Shiliang, right?" ”

"The two of us went to find Wei Shiliang together, but he said that he would verify it first, and if this is the case, he will be impeached soon!" Zhang Wei nodded seriously, and then sighed again: "Yang Shangying is just a soldier like this, how can he be allowed to behave nonsense, Zhao Bingran can't eat dry rice there?" ”

"Although Zhao Bingran is the governor of Zhejiang, he has lost Guo Pu, a big backer, and his life is actually not easy, so he naturally wants to be a man with his tail between his legs!" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and said like a mirror.

The local governors are certainly beautiful, but the essence of their fate has always been in the hands of the court. Once they offend someone, not to mention that they will not be able to return to the capital, and they will not even be able to keep their current position, which is what most governors are most worried about.

Zhang Wei knew that this was the truth, but he sighed heavily.

Lin Haoran put the teacup on the table, and said seriously: "The candidate for the governor of Ningxia this time will be pushed, you have worked hard these days, go to the mansion of the big guys to brush up on your presence!"

"Good!" Zhang Wei knew that it was impossible for Lin Haoran to deal with everything for him and compromise, and many times he had to rely on him to fight for it, so he nodded solemnly and responded.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Wei took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Lin Haoran looked at the rising moonlight, the silver light pouring in from the window had shrunk from the table to the ground, and his body could no longer bathe in the silver light, as if hiding in the darkness.

Lin Haoran continued to drink tea slowly, looked at the word that had already dried up, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Xiyuan.

I thought there was nothing wrong, but I didn't want his protégé Wang Shiju to take the initiative to find the door, and to his surprise, Wang Shiju actually came to propose marriage and wanted to marry Ah Hua.

"Although Ah Hua is working in my house, we have never been a master and servant, she is my cousin's niece, and she will definitely not be a concubine!" Lin Haoran flatly refused.

Wang Shiju knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained: "The teacher misunderstood, I ...... I want to welcome Miss Ah Hua, and I hope that the teacher can fulfill us! ”

Lin Haoran was slightly stunned at first, and then found that there seemed to be movement at the door, so he responded: "His father handed her over to me to take care of, so I have the obligation to find a good husband for Ah Hua." As a teacher, he can officiate for her marriage, but whether this matter can be done depends on Ah Hua's intentions! ”

Wang Shiju suddenly got up from the ground and pulled in Ah Hua, who looked red-faced, from the outside, and heard Ah Hua whisper: "Uncle Nineteen, I am willing!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Haoran shook his head helplessly, but he didn't know when the two of them got better. However, he was also happy to see this kind of in-law, so he waved his hand and said: "You go back and let someone come to the door to propose!" ”

Wang Shiju thanked Lin Haoran, and then left very excitedly.

A full moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the streets of the largest city in the Ming Dynasty, making it feel like daylight. The lights of each house have been extinguished, and they are already recuperating and preparing for new disputes.
