Volume II, Chapter 4 Resignation

Early the next morning, before it was too late, Zhang Bin habitually got up again.

However, he suddenly realized that he had nothing to do!

On the side of the ministry, Kanhe has already submitted it for inspection, as for the assessment of the big plan or something, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, all the assessment credentials are handed in by the state government and the provincial inspection department, and he can't see it.

The matter of entering the military department has also been begged by the British duke, and whether it can be done or not is not something he can control at all.

It seemed that all he could do now was wait, and after breakfast, he sat in the study of the main house and thought about it.

Why don't you do something, visit your colleagues?

It seems that Lu Xiangsheng and himself are in the same family, and they are both second-class, do you want to visit?

Or go and ask where Sun Chuanting lives so that he can visit?

However, at this time, people should be working in the official department, and it is useless to find a place to live.

Just when he was hesitating, Zhao Ru, who was on duty in front, suddenly said loudly outside: "My lord, Lord Sun is here to visit." ”

Sun Chuanting, how could he be free at this time?

When Zhang Bin heard this, he stood up violently and walked out quickly.

When I came to the gate, I saw that it was Sun Chuanting who was standing in front of him!

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Lord Sun, why did you come here in person, you should go down to visit you." ”

This is not a polite remark, but he is a member of the Ministry of Officials, a member of the fifth grade, and he is a seven-grade county commander, no matter how he says it, he should visit by himself.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "Lord Zhang, Sun's resignation has been approved by the officials, and now, Sun is not an adult, just a grass citizen." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was dumbfounded, you really resigned, and people really criticized it!

After being stunned for a while, he came to his senses, this outside is full of people coming and going, it is really not a good place to talk, he grabbed Sun Chuanting's arm, and said kindly: "Brother Sun, please inside, please inside." ”

Sun Chuanting didn't refuse, and followed him directly into the courtyard and came to the lobby of the main house.

Zhang Bin pulled him to sit on both sides of the main seat, and let people serve tea, and then said regretfully: "Brother Sun, you are already a five-grade Langzhong, and you are still a heavenly official in the ministry, with an unlimited future, why do you want to resign?" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "I have resigned, there is nothing to say, Sun will return to his hometown tomorrow, and I am afraid that Lord Zhang will not be able to find anyone by then, so I came to visit today." ”

I'll go home tomorrow, what the hell is going on?

Zhang Bin couldn't help asking: "Brother Sun, what are you doing here, the younger brother is really puzzled!" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he said in embarrassment: "Alas, Lord Zhang, it's okay not to mention this matter." ”

Zhang Bin frowned, pretending to be displeased: "Brother Sun, you and my ancestors are comrades who have been on the battlefield together, and they are like brothers, you and I should be commensurate with each other, what Lord Zhang, isn't this a part?" ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly: "Okay, it's for my brother's mistake, and I ask my brother to take care of it." ”

Zhang Bin took the hot railway: "Brother Sun, your sudden resignation is really incomprehensible, is there any difficulty, if you don't tell the younger brother, although the younger brother is not talented, he will not frown when he goes to the soup for his brother." ”

This self-familiarity came too quickly, and Sun Chuanting was a little uncomfortable, he was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "No, no, there is no difficulty, the virtuous brother has a heart, thank you, thank you." ”

Zhang Bin was so curious in his heart, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Sun, what's going on, can you tell Brother Xian?" ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, there are some things that can't be said nonsense, the wall has ears." ”

It turned out that he was afraid of being heard, so he immediately said loudly to the door: "Zhao Ru." ”

Zhao Ru entered in response and arched his hand: "What do you command?" ”

Zhang Bin said solemnly: "Call Zhang Cha and them, keep an eye on the surroundings, but if anyone approaches, they will immediately come to warn." ”

Zhao Ru obeyed the order and quickly retreated.

Zhang Bin continued: "Brother Sun, let's talk about it now. ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, have you heard about Wan Liao?" ”

Zhang Bin said curiously: "Who is Wan Liao?" The younger brother has only been in the capital for a day, and he doesn't know anything! ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he suddenly said: "Also, the virtuous brother has been serving in Zhejiang for the past few years, and it is normal to not know these things. ”

is another Langzhong, like Sun Chuanting, he is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and Zhang Bin is even more curious: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Sun Chuanting sighed and said: "He was impeached by Wei Zhongxian because of Shangshu, and was beaten to a hundred by the court, but he was not killed, Wei Zhongxian sent a group of eunuchs to his mansion, pressed him to the ground and beat him again, but he was still not killed, and those eunuchs stood on him and stepped on him hard, and he fainted to death, but he still survived for four days before he died." Wei Zhongxian felt incomprehensible, and let people frame him for accepting a bribe of 300 taels to recover the stolen goods from his family. Poor Wan Xian, an incorruptible official, where did his family have so much silver, but his family sold all the fields and houses to make up for the silver. ”

, so ruthless, Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask: "Is he Donglin?" ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at him inexplicably, shook his head and said, "No, he has nothing to do with Donglin." ”

Zhang Bin was puzzled: "Since it is not Donglin, why impeach Wei Zhongxian?" ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at him with a strange face, and then explained: "He is responsible for supervising the construction of Qingling, due to the lack of copper, he can't complete it on time, he knows that the scrap copper of the Internal Affairs Office is piling up, so he asked the Inner Palace Supervisor to allocate a little, but Wei Zhongxian did not allow it." He had no choice but to go to the emperor and ask for allocation, but Wei Zhongxian, who provoked him, was furious and scolded him under the pretense of the emperor's will. He was also angry, so he impeached Wei Zhongxian, embezzled millions of taels of silver to build a mausoleum for himself, and the regulations of the mausoleum were no different from the imperial mausoleum, and he also built a shrine and a temple in front of the mausoleum. As a result, the excerpt naturally could not be passed into the hands of the emperor, but was intercepted by Wei Zhongxian, and then Wei Zhongxian had him roded to death. ”

It's not strange that Wei Zhongxian is domineering and murderous, but he doesn't seem to have heard that Wei Zhongxian also embezzled silver taels, Zhang Bin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Wei Zhongxian really embezzled millions of dollars to build a mausoleum for himself?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "Of course it's true, no one in the capital knows that his mausoleum is behind the Biyun Temple in the northwest of the capital, and he has also more than doubled the expansion of the Biyun Temple, and the scale is a few million taels." ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but be dumbfounded and said: "Is it necessary to be greedy for millions of taels just to build a mausoleum and build a temple?" ”

Seeing his surprised look, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but explain with a strange face: "Of course there is a need for this, he is preparing for his old age, you have to spend money to live in this Chongxing Temple, that Biyun Temple is now much bigger than Chongxing Temple, and the rent money alone is enough for him to support his old age." ”

It turned out that this was the case, using the emperor's money to build a mausoleum comparable to the imperial mausoleum for himself, and then building a big hotel, and when he was old, he went to collect rent, and when he died, he buried himself directly in the back mausoleum.

This idea is really good, but unfortunately, he is not destined to live to the day when he dies of old age.
