There is also a temporary mourning hall dedicated to Zhang Wenming's spiritual seat in the hall, and Zhang Maoxiu kneels in front of his grandfather's spiritual plaque and fills the brazier with paper money. Zhang Sixiu had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and when he was full of ambition, he encountered Ding Worry, and he was not as good as his father, and there was no possibility of winning love, so he had to stay at home for 27 months before he could return to the Hanlin Academy. Even if the treatment he deserves will not be affected, but the scenery of the new branch list is also greatly reduced, and when he returns to the Hanlin Academy, it is the scenery of the new science champion, and his face will be gone. In a depressed mood, he was not interested in paying tribute in front of the spirit, so he had to be done by his brother.

There was no one else in the mourning hall, Zhang Mao was kneeling there, and there was a sudden movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw his sister, who was dressed in plain clothes, walking in briskly.

A gust of wind blew, and the flames in the brazier shook. Zhang Maoxiu has been worried about his sister's health during this time, but there is a father at home, and many things are not his turn to ask, so this kind of care is useless. At this time, seeing that her sister hurriedly got up, Zhang Shunqing said: "The second brother sulked in the room and threw everything on you, which also made you suffer." Go back and rest, I'll be here for you. Then he knelt down and filled the brazier with the paper money.

Zhang Maoxiu didn't leave, but looked at his sister, Zhang Shunqing said, "What are you looking at?" After two nights, you are not sleepy? Go back to sleep, see what I'm doing here, what's different about me? ”

"I think my sister is different from the other day, I can't say what is different, I just think it's a little weird."

"Oh? Is that getting better, or is it getting ugly? ”

"Naturally, it's getting better. It's just that I always feel that my sister is getting better and is a little weird, and the change is too fast, as if she has changed someone. ”

Zhang Shunqing said angrily: "Let you go back to sleep and you are still here, do you want me to tell the master that it is good to let you stay here for a few more nights?" Get out, get out of here! ”

Zhang Maoxiu, who had always been afraid of his sister, had to flee in embarrassment, and when he ran outside the mourning hall, he quietly looked inside, but saw Zhang Shunqing kneeling in front of the spirit card with her hands together and muttering something, because the distance was too far, the specific words could not be heard clearly, and she seemed to be making a wish and seemed to be thanking.

"The eldest father is blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that the granddaughter can fulfill her wish. In the future, the granddaughter will burn some paper money and gold silk for her eldest father with Fan Lang, so that the eldest father will not worry about spending it under Jiuquan. ”

The fireworks rose, and Zhang Shunqing's vision became a little blurred. In this blurred sight, she seemed to see Fan Jin's face appear in the smoke and dust, smiling at herself.

Since she arrived in Jingshi in the southeast, her mood was generally more worried than happy, and more sad than happy, until she listened to her father's question and answer with Feng Bao, and she really felt a trace of joy. He said softly: "Wrongdoer, I don't know how much debt I owed you in my previous life, and I have to repay it like this in this life." This time I finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, if you dare to treat me well in the future, see how I clean you up! ”

Immediately thought of the situation in Jingshi that Feng Bao had just said, and knew that if Fan Jin had not manipulated the Qing discussion before, which had distracted the attention of some ministers, he was afraid that there were not only Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong at this time. People have a herd heart, and if they all strive to be uplifted, their father's situation will only be worse than it is now. secretly cared about Fan Jin's situation in his heart and prayed for him for peace.

Jingshi, Zhang Siwei's home.

Fan Jin does not have close contacts with this teacher, but fortunately, the image that Zhang Siwei is now creating is to be cautious in words and deeds, and Fan Jin does not have much contact with him, but it is also in his interests. In private, there is no shortage of correspondence between the master and apprentice, and the conversation is limited to learning and nothing else, as for calling Fan Jin to his home for an interview, it is the first time.

Zhang Siwei's expression was not serious, as if it was just an ordinary chat conversation between master and apprentice, and it did not involve any important issues.

"Zou Yuanbiao is a new science and technology jinshi, and he has a friendship with you in the same year, and he is also my protégé. Although I have never regarded him as a disciple, but no matter what, the same subject and the same list are fate, and everyone helps each other is the proper meaning of the question. This time, it was his own ignorance that offended Taiyue, and he deserved some punishment. But Wu Xiaozhi has always been weak, and he has a gap with Feng Bao, if he goes down with a cane, I am afraid that he will be killed. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, now Wang Jingshi is running in many ways and begging for the lives of the two. He had some friendship with Weishi, and offered to ask Weishi to retreat and come to the rescue, but it seemed unreasonable not to save at this time. Although the teacher knew that Zou Yuanbiao was unreasonable and angered Cisheng, he was young and ignorant, so it was better to give him a chance to reform himself, at least to give the prince a face. It's not that you have to ask for it. But it's one thing to do it or not, and it's another thing to do it or not. If you don't move here, it's not good for you, and it's not good for your future career. ”

Under the influence of Fan Jin, history has undergone some changes, although from the overall point of view, this change is not very different from the original historical track, but in terms of the fate of a certain person, these changes have caused some of them to deviate from the original trajectory of their lives and embark on a completely different path.

In the original historical time and space, Zhang Juzheng did not use the dragger meter, and he still lived in Beijing after the completion of these things. This hard-line attitude aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers, including Zhang Juzheng's protégé Zhao Yongxian, who also joined the ranks of the previous impeachment of Zhang Juzheng, and finally the incident of the five ministers of the court staff appeared.

But now, under the influence of Fan Jin's methods, history has changed in several ways. First of all, Zhang Juzheng left Beijing, and this gesture was made. Some people are not satisfied, but some people feel that Zhang Juzheng's doing this proves that he really wants to worry, and it is a helpless move to win love. Not all of them are united with the Maison, just as not all of them have other intentions in this chapter. The reason why most people in the court oppose seizing affection is from the perspective of maintaining discipline, not Zhang Juzheng's own opinions.

After he made this gesture and the Son of Heaven repeatedly retained him, the anger of these people towards Zhang Juzheng was not as serious as in the original history. In addition, the Qianguo Gong incident distracted the attention of some courtiers, and also made some people think that Zhang Juzheng had to come forward to solve this problem, and he would no longer pursue the matter of seizing the love.

In this case, the original incident of the five ministers became the incident of Zou Yuanbiao, Wu Weizhong, and Wu Zhongxing, and Ai Mu, Shen Sixiao, and Zhao Yongxian did not go to the top. Among these people, Wu Zhongxing's opinion is an old-fashioned opinion, and it cannot be regarded as aimed at Zhang Juzheng, so it has not been impacted. The only ones who are really unlucky are Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong.

Wanli issued an order that the two were arrested and imprisoned by Jinyiwei, although the disposal policy was not publicly announced, but news had already circulated in the palace that they would be given a court rod. has changed from five ministers to two ministers, and Zou Yuanbiao himself is only a political jinshi, and has not yet entered the officialdom, and his influence is much worse than the five loyal ministers in the original time and space. However, since Wanli ascended the throne, it was the first time that the court staff civil officials had paid attention.

The lynching of the court staff, which can only be used by the great emperor, although it is a weapon for officials to invite fame and fortune, it is also a ghost gate that is unpredictable in life and death. Wu Weizhong is frail and sickly, and if he is beaten down with a cane, whether people can still survive is between the two.

Zhan Shi Mansion Zhan Shi Wang Xijue is now running around in Beijing, organizing the big people to rescue and plead with the Son of Heaven. Including the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing, more than a dozen dignitaries have joined forces to ask for forgiveness for the crimes of Zou Yuanbiao and Wu Weizhong.

Wang Xijue is a famous Confucian in the southeast, and he is very famous in the southeast, and he is a master in the literary world in today's world, and he is also very appealing in the imperial court. In the original history, because of the intercession of the five ministers, Zhang Juzheng was forced by him to almost commit suicide, which shows that he has mastered people's kung fu, and also proves that his status is respectful, and he is not an idle person.

At present, Wang Xijue, as in history, began to intercede for Zou Wu and the others. Since Zhang Juzheng and even Feng Bao are not in Beijing, they are far from being rescued, and all he can find is Zhang Siwei. In good conscience, Zhang Siwei asked Fan to come in to do this, which is also a good intention.

After all, Fan Jin's future background is in the Hanlin Academy, and Wang Xijue is a senior in the literary world and is extremely influential in the Hanlin Academy. In a word, praise is better than Hua Gon, and selling this favor to him is beneficial and harmless to Fan Jin.

Fan Jin first thanked his teacher for his support, then said a few words of modesty, and finally said: "Actually, the disciple originally didn't plan to intercede for Zou Yuanbiao and others. The rhetoric of these two people is really too wild. The news from the palace, Cisheng Fengyan was furious, even the old man in the palace, and he didn't see the queen mother have been so angry. At this time, it is quite difficult, but since the teacher commands, the disciple is duty-bound. ”

Zhang Siwei looked at Fan Jin, "Think back, it's great if you think like this." In fact, it is still the same sentence, we come forward to intercede is a personal favor, and it is also to give face to the prince. It's not that you really have to keep people, it's too difficult for a strong person. As long as the heart is reached, whether it can be saved can only depend on the will of God. The prince is not an unreasonable person, and he will not blame you. This time, there was such a mess in the court, and even the cabinet became a fictitious, let alone the election of the museum. When Mr. Taiyue comes back, it is necessary to open the museum first, and then you can enter the Yutang to contribute to the country, and that is your right path. ”

"It's all about the cultivation of the teacher."

"No, it's not me who cultivates, but you have the ability to do it yourself. You are a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, I don't know how many talented people and celebrities, you can stand out from it, you have your own merits, you don't have to be modest. You're not too young to get married, which isn't good. If a person is not married, it means that his heart is undetermined, and his heart is uncertain, so how can he contribute to the country? Unfilial piety is great, and marriage cannot be delayed. As a teacher, I heard that Taiyue Xianggong has a beloved daughter, who is the same age as you, and has never been suitable. After Taiyue returns to the court, after the mourning period, he will go to be an iceman for you, and if you want to come to this face, Taiyue will always give it to me. ”

Wonderful! Truly wonderful!

If it weren't for the wrong timing, Fan Jin almost couldn't help but applaud Zhang Siwei. The reason for the applause is not that he is a matchmaker for himself, in fact, the difficulty in this matter is not in the matchmaker but in Zhang Juzheng's attitude, with Li Cailian, a noble lady, it is not difficult to find a matchmaker. Of course, having such a cabinet veteran as a matchmaker has more face, and it will be a good story in the future. What he really admires is Zhang Siwei's acting skills.

There were rumors in Beijing before the incident between himself and Zhang Shunqing, and this time he ran for Zhang's mansion, including the use of Zhou Shichen's case to fight Gao Gong, which is also corroborative. With a person like Zhang Siwei, it is impossible not to see his personal relationship with Zhang Shunqing. But he can pretend to be as pure as a white lotus, as if he doesn't know everything, but he just happens to feel that Zhang Juzheng's daughter is very suitable for his disciple, and then he just goes to be a matchmaker, and everything else is not involved.

Is it really that simple? If he simply wanted to be a matchmaker for Fan Jin, what would he have done earlier?

In the final analysis, it is Fan Jin's ability that he is showing at the moment that makes Zhang Siwei feel that it is necessary to be this matchmaker and it is good for him, otherwise he will definitely not open this mouth. Even if the media is protected, the object will not be Zhang Shunqing. Last time, he blew the wind to Fan Zhigao through the concierge, revealing that he intended to recruit a son-in-law, and after a short time, his attitude changed so much, which was naturally the influence of objective facts.

Whether it is the attack on Gao Gong or the turmoil of Zhang Juzheng's love this time, there is no lack of Fan Jin's shadow behind him. Fan Jin was gradually introduced by Zhang Juzheng as a confidant, and he could even enter the back garden, this relationship could not be kept secret, and Zhang Siwei would not know about it.

Moreover, it was revealed from Fan Jin's words that he had inside lines and eyes and ears in the palace, and even the attitude of the old people in the palace could be known, and he was a role with hands and eyes. An ordinary disciple who charges into battle for his mentor is just a fierce general, and there are appropriate rewards, but there will be no excessive treatment.

A character like Fan Jin is qualified to make some deals with Zhang Siwei in some aspects, and at this time, he naturally has to find a way to entrap this disciple and form an ally with him, so as not to waste a teacher and student in vain. Judging from Zhang Juzheng's attitude, he no longer hates Fan Jin, and Zhang Siwei also knows about Zhang Shunqing and Fan Jin.

If Fan Jin becomes a guest of Zhang's house, Zhang Siwei and Zhang Juzheng will have a closer connection, and being able to get the support of such a powerful minister will be of great benefit to Zhang Siwei's future status in the cabinet. After all, after Lu Tiaoyang retired to old age, the position of the second assistant of the cabinet was still vacant, and it was a good choice to be the first assistant and the second assistant.

Because of the advantage of being a prophet, Fan Jin has already defined Zhang Siwei's personality, but he will not be moved by this matter. But on the surface, he still pretended to be sincerely frightened and couldn't help but thank him, Zhang Siwei said with a smile

"When a man gets married, a woman gets married, you are a second-class heir, how can you not be worthy of the daughter of the Zhang family? No thanks. As soon as the mourning period is over, the teacher will do it. Don't be in a hurry to leave, the teacher has already instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and the family happened to send a few jars of Fenjiu not long ago, and you can accompany the teacher to drink a few glasses. ”

Push the cup and change the lamp, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves. Now that the future is secured, the good things with Zhang Shunqing have finally shown signs of brightness, and Fan Jin's heart has been completely put down. The success of the previous operation has shifted the focus of public opinion, as long as Zou Yuanbiao's matter is properly handled, the impact of Zhang Juzheng's love affair can be minimized.

But just as the demon star is born, you don't need to apply like anyone else. A change that Fan Jin and even Zhang Juzheng, or Zou Yuanbiao and the powerful officials of the Beijing division did not expect, happened on this night.

At Dazhi Bridge, a reprimand for family members had just ended, and the thin old man staggered out of the courtyard gate. His wife tried to stop him, but he slapped him hard and wiped back with tears in her eyes. The old man left the house and disappeared into the night, the last time his family saw him. This old man's name is: Hua Zhengfang.
