Chapter 61: Pan Jitao and Li Zhen
Although the three of them didn't know what was going on with this Ming Royal Academy of Sciences, they also understood that the three of them could leave here and go out to do something.
After Zhu Yijun encouraged the three of them, he visited the school again, and then took the people back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, the manpower matter was temporarily dealt with, and it seemed that there was another thing to do next, that is, the issue of Yang Shiyin.
"Let's talk about the Cabinet Scholars first!"
Zhu Yijun glanced at the sky and instructed Chen Ju: "Spread the decree to the six cabinets, and the court will discuss tomorrow." ”
At sunset, at the gate of the capital, a carriage drove into the capital, and in the carriage, a man about fifty years old sat in the carriage. Reaching out and picking up the car curtain, looking at the streets of the capital outside, the man sighed.
"Master, why sigh!" On the other side of the carriage, a woman with a delicate face saw the man sigh and couldn't help but ask.
"The lord entered Beijing this time, although the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry has become the secretary of the Ministry of War, but he also has a real position. When he was in Nanjing, although he said that he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he did not have the title of governor of the river, and the master had nothing to do. ”
The middle-aged man glanced at the woman and said with a wry smile: "Madam, I want to enter Beijing, and I also want to be able to do something." ”
"But the current situation is turbulent, and if you are not careful, something big will happen!" The man sighed and said, "Elder Zhang Ge died suddenly, since the emperor suddenly took office, is this thing still less?" ”
"How long has it been, and how many people have been killed by the imperial court? Not to mention the others, just the Arsenal Division, dozens of lives! ”
"My husband is now in Beijing to take charge of the Arsenal Division and the Armament Division, and I don't have a bottom in my heart! Especially the Armed Forces Division, this yamen has just been established, if it is not well managed, it is not easy to explain it to the husband! ”
The woman was silent, and only after a while did she say: "But the concubine doesn't look like His Majesty is a person who kills indiscriminately, which of those people shouldn't die!" ”
The man shook his head, and he thought it was better not to tell his wife about it.
The carriage soon came to the post station in the capital, but as soon as the post entered, the post man of the post station came, walked to the carriage with a smile, bowed down and said: "Xiaguan Chen He, I have seen Pan Shangshu!" ”
Pan Jitao looked at Chen He in front of him, nodded and said, "Chen Yicheng, you want to see this official, what is the so-called matter?" ”
"Pan Shangshu, the palace has already passed the decree, after Pan Shangshu arrives in the capital, he doesn't have to live in the post station, the emperor has prepared a residence for Pan Shangshu. By the way, it was given to Pan Shangshu by the emperor, and the lower officials can take Pan Shangshu over. ”
Pan Jitao was stunned for a moment, the residence given by the emperor, then you have to live!
This is the emperor's performance of appreciating you, if you don't continue, you don't know how to lift, you don't give the emperor a son, and if you don't give the emperor a son, the end is estimated to be no better, anyway, Pan Jitao feels that he has to give face.
Under the leadership of Yi Cheng, Pan Jitao soon came to the house given to him by the emperor.
Pan Jitao didn't expect that his house was not far from Nanyuan, and he was going over there, that was Nanyuan.
"Master Pan, this is the mansion given to you by the emperor!" Chen He smiled and pointed to the house in front of him, and said with a smile: "The lower official is only responsible for bringing the adults here, so the lower official will leave." ”
Pan Jitao nodded, said goodbye to Chen He, and then turned his head to look over and found that this was a large gatehouse.
On Gatehouse Mountain, there are two words written on the huge plaque: Pan Mansion!
Pan Jitao's wife looked at the mansion in front of her, and said with a smile: "The concubine has never lived in such a big mansion in her life, it seems that Your Majesty really values the princess!" So saying, he told the old family to open the door.
Looking at the interested lady, Pan Jitao is a head and two big.
The better the emperor treats you and the more he values you, it means that you are not good at this errand!
However, Pan Jitao has no resistance to the errand itself, he is a person who has crossed the river, he has never seen any situation, just make an ordnance, how difficult it can be. He has organized tens of millions of people to repair the river, and he can still play an ordnance workshop.
The key is the current situation, Pan Jitao knows the depth of the water here, and if he really participates in it, it is difficult to say what the result will be.
But now that the emperor values himself so much, it is estimated that it is impossible not to participate in it.
The door was quickly opened, and the gatekeeper was an old man, and when he learned that it was Pan Jitao's family who had arrived, he hurriedly smiled and said: "I have seen the master's house, the small one is the gatekeeper of this house, and I will ask the master's family to take care of it in the future." ”
Before Pan Jitao could figure out what was going on, he only heard a tinkling of rings, and a woman about thirty years old walked out of it.
The woman is not only slender, but also very beautiful, wearing a long skirt on her body, and she has a unique temperament when she walks. After seeing Pan Jitao, he helped himself and said: "The concubine is shallow, I have seen the lord and the lady." ”
"You are?" Pan Jitao's wife looked at Qian'er and asked expressionlessly.
"Mrs. Hui, Qian'er is a palace maid who was returned in the palace, because she has no father and no mother, the palace can't bear to be lonely in the palace for a lifetime, so she let Qian'er come to serve the lord and serve the lady!"
Pan Jitao suddenly coughed in embarrassment, this is even the concubine is ready.
It is estimated that the emperor thinks that he will not bring his family over.
Mrs. Pan glanced at Pan Jitao, then at Qian'er, and nodded: "This is very good, then you can take the master and me to see this courtyard!" We're not familiar with it either. ”
"Sir, madam, go this way!" Qian'er bowed and said, "This is a three-entry house." ”
As an old palace maid who was returned to the palace, it is naturally no problem for Qian'er to serve people, the tone and attitude are not picky, and the etiquette is even more thoughtful. Do things, how to make people look and feel comfortable.
Mrs. Pan glanced at Pan Jitao and glanced at him: "Master is blessed this time." ”
Pan Jitao was even more embarrassed, so he could only pretend not to hear it, and looked around at the house, as if everything was okay with him.
Hubei, Huang'an.
Li Zhen walked into a tavern with an expressionless face, looked around, and found that there were no customers in the tavern, which made him stunned. You must know that there are a lot of people here on weekdays, especially at night.
Looking at the past today, Li Zhen found that there were only one table with guests, and it seemed that this person was the person he wanted to meet.
"Mr. Li, please be seated!" When the man saw Li Zhen coming, he stood up with a smile and said hello, waited until Li Zhen sat down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Zhen, and then said with a smile: "First introduce yourself." ”
"My name is Huang San, this is my waist card!" Saying that, Huang San took out a waist card from his waist and put it in front of Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was slightly stunned, reached out and picked up the waist card, and he found that this was a waist card that he had never seen before.
Slightly blackened wood, I can't tell what kind of wood it is, there are two dragons on both sides of the front, and there are two big characters in the middle: Inner Factory!
On the back of the waist card is written: Huang An, Deputy Admiral Huang San.
In-house?
Li Zhen looked at Huang San and said hesitantly: "Inner factory? But Liu Jin's expert factory? ”
This Liu Jin's insider is so famous that Li Zhen couldn't help but change color when he heard this name.
Huang San waved his hand and said with a smile: "We have nothing to do with the insider factory, Mr. Li, don't get me wrong, we call it the inner factory, and what we do is not the factory guard, the factory guard has the East Factory and the Jinyi Guard." ”
"And what do you do?" Li Zhen looked at Huang San and asked vigilantly.
In the face of this kind of mysterious and mysterious person with an unknown purpose, Li Zhen really couldn't relax.
"We know Mr. very well in the inner factory, and know that Mr. is an upright person, in order to live, I would rather teach for a living in a friend's house than enter the officialdom to join the same stream, there are not many people like Mr."
"One of our internal factories is to pity talents, and with the talent of Mr., we have succumbed here and been wronged."
"What do you want me to do?" Li Zhen looked at the emperor and sneered: "Don't be delusional, I'd rather not be an official than go along with them, do you think I will be willing to join the even more unbearable factory guards." ”
Although Huang San didn't admit it, Li Zhen still thought that the inner factory was the factory guard.
Huang San was not angry, reached out and took a breath of tea in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, just now you asked us what our inner factory does, I can tell you that it is also the duty of our inner factory to find talents for the court and the emperor." ”
"We don't want Mr. to enter the factory, but to give Mr. his talents to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is very interested in the talents of the gentleman, and hopes that the gentleman will be able to enter the capital. Someone will go to Mr.'s house tomorrow to invite Mr., hoping that Mr. can follow him into Beijing, and then Mr. will understand. ”
"Don't you want to show what you have learned? There was Dong Zhongshu in the past, can't there be a gentleman today? ”
No matter what Li Zhen's thoughts are, in the final analysis, he is a scholar, and Li Zhen is naturally familiar with Dong Zhongshu, a person with a special status. Hearing Huang San's words, Li Zhen's heart naturally made waves.
Dong Zhongshu?
"Sir, the person who will be invited to Beijing tomorrow was sent by Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, presumably Mr. doesn't know what Xu Wenchang is doing now, right?"
"Xu Wei Xu Wenchang, the current general political envoy Si Zuo Senator, accompanies the emperor every day and makes suggestions for the emperor." Huang San smiled and said to Li Zhen: "Mr. once said, 'I hope that there will be a half-talented person', but has Mr. ever thought that the biggest merciful person in the world is the current emperor." ”
Li Zhen was stunned, he really didn't think about the emperor, but can his doctrine really be accepted by the emperor?
"Your Majesty is very interested in Mr.'s doctrine, Mr. Xu Wenchang is also interested in Mr.'s doctrine, and the inner factory is just conveying the wish that Mr. will go to the capital. When I went to Beijing, it was the time for Mr. to show his strength. ”
Li Zhen was silent, and only after a while did he raise his head and look at Huang San: "I need to think about it, after all, the stakes are high." ”
