257. Deterrence

In the evening, Wang Faxiang rushed outside Fang Congzhe's prime minister's mansion as promised.

This time the matter was more urgent, he didn't avoid anything, but fortunately, he cast his eyes beforehand, and after making sure that no one was following, he stood outside the corner door and waited.

Wang Faxiang has been waiting for more than an hour, if he changes others, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand such a long time and leave, but Wang Faxiang is standing safely, the sky is getting dark, and his whole person seems to melt into the depths of the shadows.

Except for Wang Faxiang himself, no one knows how much he has to do every day and how busy he will be.

From Beijing to Shanhaiguan, Bao Zhi Zunhua, Santun Camp, Yongping, the intelligence points of the Military Intelligence Bureau everywhere are presided over by Wang Faxiang, and he is also responsible for civil and commercial intelligence.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhang Han and Yang Qiu have paid special attention to the intelligence work of the line from Beijing to Liaodong, because this piece of the Ming court has lagged too far behind the Houjin, and the military department of the Beijing division has called the Houjin to be bribed, and Li Yongfang is in charge of the intelligence work of the Houjin, and I don't know how many fine works are sent to the Beijing division every year. Shenyang and Liaoyang in Liaodong are all over the Houjin fine work, Zhang Han does not plan to intervene in the situation in Liaodong for the time being, and the strength is also insufficient, so he asked Wang Faxiang to manage the Jingshi to Shanhaiguan with his heart, and then Ningyuan and Guangning, etc., now Wang Faxiang has effectively mastered the Shanhaiguan area, and also sent people to Guangning and Ningyuan to start setting up strongholds, but there is still a little distance from really gaining a foothold and carrying out effective work, so he is very busy every day, when he first arrived in Beijing, many things are done by himself, but there is still a lot of free time, Now everything is done by others, but every day is very busy, and waiting here for so long like this is a kind of rest for him.

Recently, his main work has changed from collecting intelligence to taking the initiative to set up intelligence stations, excavating and training personnel, and reconnoitring suspicious Houjin meticulous work in various parts of the Beijing Division, and another important task is to collect the files of various party personnel in the Beijing Division in case of emergency.

This time, the line between the Donglin Party and the insider and Mao Yuanyi is enough to work hard, otherwise, Wang Faxiang doesn't know how to start after Zhang Han's affairs are handed over.

In this regard, Wang Faxiang feels quite lucky, he has gone from an intelligence officer to a party in charge, and now there are more than 50 people who directly listen to his command, all of them are capable intelligence officers, and he suspects that the Internal Security Division has another line in the Beijing Division, and even a dark line is monitoring himself, judging from all kinds of clues, the internal security system has another system, and it is not under the command of Wang Faxiang or his superiors, and Wang Faxiang feels that he needs to be vigilant at all times, and he does not dare to slack off.

These people are people who have been in the shadows, and even the increasingly strict rules and regulations of Heyusheng are difficult to apply to these intelligence officers, and they will also be wary and vigilant against each other, not as harmonious and cordial as other departments with Yusheng, Wang Faxiang sometimes feels too strong pressure, thinking about leaving this department, but he is also reluctant to live a prosperous life and the power in his hands, he can only work harder.

After it got dark for a while, the corner door was dumbly pushed open, and Xu Xiaoqi came out of the corner door with a lantern on his face.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wang." Xu Xiaoqi said hurriedly: "But I have to go in later...... It seems that there is something important tonight, and the qualified stewards of the house have been called to stay and check all the things in the house, and then say that the master is going to call us to talk, and I will have to hurry in later. ”

In less than a year, Xu Xiaoqi's face also has a lot of capable color, his hired servant is not as good as the Fang Mansion's sons can be reused, but the Fang family is not a noble family, there are not many slaves in the family, Wang Faxiang gave him a lot of money to collect a few housekeepers from the buyer's house, now Xu Xiaoqi is no longer the lowest sprinkler and sweeper, he has become one of the principals, Wang Faxiang told him to work more seriously, Xu Xiaoqi has been praised by Fang Congzhe several times, you must know that Fang Congzhe does not pay attention to the affairs of the inner house.

Wang Faxiang didn't say anything specific, but said: "Xiao Qi, how have I treated you in the past two years?" ”

Xu Xiaoqi took a look and said: "Brother Wang treats me like a mountain, if you hadn't mentioned it and helped me with money, how would I have this step today?" ”

"Very good." Wang Faxiang said: "Today is the time for you to repay me." ”

He continued: "The east of my family mainly sells Lingqiu iron tools to the Beijing Division, first conquers the most important part of the imperial court and the Ministry of Industry, and then the military towns and the people use iron, and the whole game of chess will be lived, this matter is very important, and it is related to the life and death of me and Yusheng......

"Brother Wang, to make a long story short, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Good ......" Wang Faxiang said: "Fang Xiangye is very affectionate, although you are an insignificant subordinate, as long as you are bold and tell me the reason for your affection...... Let's just say that He Yusheng is a relative of your uncle's family, and you will go there to do things in the future, and ask Fang Xiangye to take care of him, so that you will have a good end in the future, and this matter will most likely be done. ”

"How is this possible?" Xu Xiaoqi was shocked: "How can I say that I left the Prime Minister's Mansion to do things elsewhere?" ”

"Brother." Wang Faxiang put his arm on his shoulders and said, "Fang Xiangye, the first assistant, has already done his job, and he is going back to his hometown to live." Although he is from Beijing, he is based in Zhejiang, and he can only return to Zhejiang after resigning. Gathering you today, checking your belongings, and asking you to speak, is bound to dismiss you, and this is a good opportunity that comes in a lifetime. ”

"Who's looking for our grandfather on a dog day?" Xu Xiaoqi didn't agree for a while, his face was full of anger, Fang Congzhe was very kind to anyone, and he was also very caring for his subordinates, hearing that he was going to take the position, Xu Xiaoqi felt angry for a while.

"It's complicated." Wang Faxiang said: "I won't be able to tell you for a while, and our brothers will talk slowly in the future, but you need to do what I say tonight, okay?" ”

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll listen to you."

Xu Xiaoqi agreed, carrying the lantern and turning back to the Fang Mansion, Wang Faxiang leaned against the wall, feeling relieved, and an extremely relaxed feeling came to his heart.

……

Fang Congzhe summoned his subordinates to check his family wealth today, and asked his subordinates to prepare to listen to his lectures, and he was indeed preparing to leave Beijing.

In recent days, some speech officials led by the Donglin Party have continuously attacked him, and the words are not violent, and there is still room for it, but Fang Congzhe understands in his heart that this is a wake-up call from the moderates in the Donglin Party to himself, if he does not hurry up and leave by himself, I am afraid that the more powerful ones are still to come.

has been in power for many years, Fang Congzhe knows that the party struggle in the court is like this, and no matter how many things he has done before, it will be in vain, the important thing is that now he has become a stumbling block for others, and it is indeed time for him to go.

However, before leaving Beijing, he still needs to meet a few people.

The lamp and candle shook suddenly, and the door of Fang Congzhe's study was pushed open, and a thin man in a cloth shirt entered the study under the guidance of Chang Sui.

Fang Congzhe, who has been in charge of the Ming Cabinet for several years, reconciled the parties, and once overwhelmed the world, actually got up from behind the book case and made a very polite Su Ke hand.

"How dare a villain." The visitor is slender and long, his face is narrow, the expression on his face is both confident and wild, and at the same time his eyes are shining with a very shrewd light, this is a character with a temperament that is not very likable, but no matter who it is, after seeing this person, he will think that this is a smart person, even when he is polite to the head of the court, although it is only a cloth cloth, this person is still difficult to hide the madness inside.

Fang Congzhe's character is elegant and gentle, never aggressive, he shouldn't appreciate and like such a character, but he had to show an appreciative expression on his face, he smiled and said: "Controlling the world's affairs with a cloth cloth, Wang Wenyan, the old man appreciates your courage and responsibility." In any case, this time Yang Dahong and others rushed into the forbidden palace, and they were not afraid of being beaten by the inner prison and went all the way forward, until the Son of Heaven was embraced to the Qianqing Palace, and the mountain shouted long live. Just by rushing to that, you can go down in history. ”

Wang Wenyan was very happy when he heard this, and he couldn't hide the look on his face, and said: "The most proud thing in the villain's life is nothing more than this!" ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Are you on the bus with the prince of the celebrant supervisor?" ”

Wang Wenyan said calmly: "It is indeed the care of the prince and the princess, and it is also good with Donglin Zhubus." ”

"Previously, it was also your handiwork that instigated the infighting among the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang, right?"

"This ...... Precisely. ”

The three party coaxes are after the sweep of the Donglin forces, Wanli forty-six years of Jingcha, the three parties control the government, the backbone of the Donglin party swept away, only some bigwigs are still in the court, this thing Qi party did a little too much, become the target of the public, the three parties also began to appear cracks, the result was Wang Wenyan seized the opportunity, in the three parties did some tricks, provoked the backbone of the three parties to coax, the result of the three parties to make the vitality of the alliance a big injury, many backbones retreated, the party, the three parties only left the Chu party and the Zhejiang party, Even the Zhejiang Party, which has a deep background, has been greatly damaged.

Fang Congzhe took over the mantle of Shen, after all, he was also the leader of the Zhejiang Party, at this time he was not full of words, but under the pressure of questioning, Wang Wenyan, who was still arrogant just now, was already a little nervous, and sweat faintly appeared on his forehead.

"This time has made the Donglin Zhugong stand up to success, and it is also the time when Wang Wenyan has completed your great success. What we have to do now is to remove the old man from the position, and then Liu Jihui will take over the position of the old man's first assistant, isn't it? ”

"The villain doesn't dare."

Wang Wenyan was a little afraid, these things were indeed his handiwork, but he thought that what he did was very obscure, only a few people in the party knew the inside story, but he didn't know why the first assistant in front of him knew this, and he didn't know why Fang Congzhe summoned him today, and then said these things to his face.

"Wenyan you do these things, some are careful, some are bold, not careful and have no plans, if you are not bold, you can't do anything, you are bold and careful, you have been a prison officer, you are familiar with the story of this dynasty, such a person is the mastermind behind the group of scholars in Donglin, to be honest, the old man is also happy for them. However, if the king does not secret, he will lose his position, and if the minister does not secret, he will lose his body, and you will need to be more careful in the future. ”

Wang Wenyan got up and bowed: "The old man of the pavilion has good words, and the villain worships." After today, in addition to the Gangneung Xianggong, the villain also serves the elder of the pavilion alone. ”
