Chapter 288: Idle Chess Makes a Great Contribution
For a new science and technology scholar, whether it is to find a butcher or find a woman who changes houses, it is actually not an easy task. After all, Fan Jin has no foundation in Beijing, and the manpower he can use is seriously insufficient, and he seems to be overstretched everywhere.
Fortunately, Qian Caiyin came forward and did Fan Jin a great favor. Mother Shi may not give her face, but she always has to give her a second-class face. In particular, Fan Jin is not embarrassed by what he entrusted, but he just wants to find someone to find out the whereabouts of a woman in the transfer house, which is not too difficult for her. Although Fang Si belongs to the Ministry of Rites, it is a legal, formal and high-ranking institution, which is different from those private buildings. However, at present, the authority of the imperial court is not as good as before, and the boundary between the two places is getting smaller and smaller. The difference is only in consumption and scale, and there are many contacts in personnel. Even the collusion of the city fox society rats is indispensable.
Most of the people who opened the house were the original pheasants Tuchang, and when they were older, they began to find a few shoddy fans to do this kind of business. The reception is basically a low-grade guest, and in the industry of clearing buildings, it is also in the downstream of the contempt chain. Mother Shi has a sense of superiority over those people, including the people she befriended, and she is also more advanced than those who watch the scene. With just a few benefits, those people rushed away.
Sending people away, she turned around and came to the small room on the side, looking at Qian Caiyin, who was sitting there fiddling with the guqin, Mother Shi found that this already outdated woman had become beautiful at this time. Compared to its popular period, it seems to be even more charming.
Since people have left here, the two times can be regarded as friends, which is very different from the way they got along in the past. Shi's mother smiled: "Caiyin, do you think my mother is doing this beautifully?" ”
"Mom has always been beautiful, and my daughter is naturally relieved to find you. This time, my mother took a lot of favors into it, and I will count it for you when I get back how much money I use. ”
"Don't say that, if you say that, our friendship will be far away. You went out from me, and I can rest assured that you are a good mixer. I've been a bit you in the past, but isn't that for your own good? Now that you have climbed the high branches and become a phoenix, your mother is happy for you. Where can you ask for money for what you ask me to do? As long as you make a career in the future, don't forget your mother's friendship. ”
As she spoke, she got closer to Qian Caiyin and asked, "Caiyin, my mother doesn't understand very well, why do you want to find a woman who changes houses with that old man Fan, what is going on?" Is that woman his favorite? ”
"It's nothing, it's just a favor for people." Qian Caiyin smiled slightly, "It's not a big deal, don't ask." ”
Mother Shi was obedient and knew that something might be involved in this matter, so she didn't speak anymore and changed the topic: "Girl, how does Master Fan treat you?" He just hasn't gotten married now, so you have to hurry up and tie his heart, so that even if he becomes a family in the future, he won't forget you. In fact, if you want me to say, the best way is for you to get a name quickly, lest the eldest woman pass the door in the future, and you don't know ......."
Qian Caiyin smiled and had a non-nutritious conversation with Shi's mother, but she didn't actually listen much to the other party's experience in the rivers and lakes. Her heart had already flown to Fan Jin at this time, she knew that she was not beautiful in appearance, and she was a little old, in the current world, she was actually not a beauty. Fan Jin is a Jinshi master, and he has a lot of money, so it is not difficult to find a young woman to accompany him. is willing to be nice to himself, and he is already satisfied.
As an older woman, her mind is not confused, and she is past the age of a little girl daydreaming. knows that no matter how hard he tries, the days of love with Fan Jin will not last long, and he just wants to let him remember himself more when the relationship between the two is the best, and he has no regrets.
She also knew that Fan Jin, a Cantonese who had lived in Beijing, no matter how good his brain was or what kind of fame he had, it was difficult to do this. If you can help him a little, you can help him a little more, and as long as you see him rejoicing, your heart will be happy. She didn't care how much hard work she put into the process, or how much risk she took in the process.
Time passed little by little, three days passed like water, and on the surface, everything was as usual in the Jingshi. The people are busy with their livelihoods every day, and the officials in other places are running for the future, and everyone is running towards the goal in their hearts. It's still the same, it's business as usual.
But the people in the game, like small animals before the catastrophe, still keenly felt a little uneasy. This psychological feeling, similar to the sixth sense of a person, cannot be explained in reasonable terms, but it is certainly felt.
Taking the Criminal Department as an example, those officials often find an opportunity to talk to each other, or discuss something in private, but as soon as they see someone coming, they immediately don't talk about it. This kind of performance proves that something is happening.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden from Fan Jin, and when he went to visit Hua Zhengfang, who was sick in bed at night, he learned the truth.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's Zhang Jiangling's father, Zhang Wenming, who is said to be very sick, probably about the same as my situation."
Hua Zhengfang was talking when she coughed violently, because of the violent vibration, her withered yellow face turned red, and sweat rolled down her forehead. His wife took a handkerchief and wiped it on his forehead, while his son Jiyin waited by the side.
Hou Shouyong said with concern: "Have you ever seen Lang Zhong's illness in Hua Lao?" Brother Hua also had an illness last year, but it's not as dangerous as this, so you have to take a good look at it this time. ”
Hua Zhengfang smiled reluctantly, drank a few sips of hot water and said: "I'm an old disease, I have to make a mistake every time the season changes, I'm used to it, don't take it seriously, you don't have to care too much." Or back to Zhang Jiangling, his family Zhang Wenming is a character who does not make people worry, in Huguang, I heard that it is very difficult to talk about. Arbitrarily and domineering, he seems to be a heroic and powerful man, and he has made friends with some strong local beams, relying on his identity as the first assistant Laozi, I don't know how much trouble he has found for Zhang Jiangling. This time, when his son was about to show his strength, he couldn't afford to be sick again, and he was Zhang Jiangling's opponent in his previous life. If it is true that he has gone from now on, Zhang Jiangling has been difficult at this time, and several years of hard work have all been wasted, if this is the case, then it can only be said that the will of heaven is difficult to violate. ”
Zhang Juzheng has been in power for a few years, and he has made great efforts to change a lot of bad rules and implement some of the systems, but in terms of his planning and the territorial pattern of the Ming Dynasty, the work he has done is a solid foundation. In the next few years, it will be the time to really see the results.
The civil official is called three years of filial piety, but in fact it is twenty-seven months, although with his relationship with the emperor, he will definitely return to the dynasty after the completion of the system, but during this time, people are far away from the center, there is no way to control it remotely, and the correct policy it implements does not know what to become. Considering the bad habit of some people in Daming at present, and Zhang Juzheng's change of law has already faced huge opposition, the biggest possibility is that after he came back, he found that the previous few years of work were in vain, and everything had to start again. I can't even do it again if I want to, so I can only let it go and let everything go back to the old system.
Hou Shouyong and others are not Jiangling faction, but they are not anti-Jiangling faction, they don't like some of Zhang Juzheng's style, but they are not to the point of enmity with him. As for the new law that Zhang Juzheng is working on, they are the majority of the elements that support it from the bottom of their hearts. In particular, Zhang Juzheng restricts the six departments with Kedao, which enhances the power and status of the Kedao officials, and from this level, the two of them still recognize Zhang Juzheng as the assistant in their hearts. Moreover, from the perspective of the country, it is a blessing rather than a curse to change the order every day, and stability is the most important thing in a big country like the Ming Dynasty.
Hua Zhengfang said: "Although I am recuperating at home, I am not ignorant of things outside. I heard that the palace sent a doctor to bring good medicine, and rushed to Huguang at an expedited speed of 800 miles, to snatch Zhang Wenming's life back from the hands of the king of Hades. But to be honest, the methods of the imperial doctors in the palace are like that, and as for the treasured medicines above, they may not be much better than the medicinal materials of the Gangneung Prime Minister's Mansion. If the medicine of the Jiangling Xianggong is useless, the upper imperial treasure is not enough to rely on. What I'm really looking forward to now is actually the news that the Zhang family has made an example, which can give him Chong Chong joy and make him turn the corner. Otherwise, this level will be very troublesome. ”
Hou Shouyong said: "If things really come to that point, as soon as Zhang Jiangling leaves, Lu Yusuo will be happy." ”
Hua Zhengfang shook her head and said, "Not necessarily." Don't forget, there is a Xu Shaohu Lake in Songjiang, and there is a high school Xuan in Xinzheng. They have all been Shousuke. If Zhang Juzheng is really worried, the possibility of these two people recovering is very great. Among them, the possibility of high school Xuan Qiqi is the greatest, after all, his age is younger than Xu Shaohu, and he can work for a few more years after entering the cabinet. Now the people in the court are panicking, but they don't know if Zhang Wenming can pass this pass, and if they really can't pass, what should they do. After all, many of them are from Zhang Juzheng's line, and if Gao Gao Xuan comes back, none of them will have good fruits to eat! ”
When he said this, he coughed again, and his concubine hurriedly slapped his back, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay...... What are you panicking about? My body is fine, but I think it's funny when I think about it. Everyone says that Zhang Jiangling is domineering, but in fact, Gao Gao Xuan is much more domineering than him. Cabinet Minister's Management Department...... Who else did it but the high arch? His methods of doing things are more decisive than Zhang Juzheng's, his eyes are really red, and no rules can restrain his hands and feet. If it is really high school Xuan Qiqi this time, the six Jiuqing are afraid that they will have to make a big move, and I don't know how many yarn hats will fall to the ground. ”
Fan Jin didn't speak, but thought in his heart: It was Zhang Juzheng who brought Gao Gong down back then, and if he came back, it is conceivable that no one on Zhang Juzheng's line had a good life. In the same way, Feng Bao is the same. These two people, together with Empress Dowager Li, definitely don't want Gao Gong to come back as the first assistant. But sometimes, it's not that if the above doesn't want him to come back, he won't be able to come back.
If the government wants to run, it must be assisted by cabinet ministers, and when the little emperor is not an adult, he needs a capable minister to preside over the situation. Once Zhang Juzheng is worried, then the person who will replace him must first have courage, second, experience, and third, have enough prestige, only in this way can he ensure that the court does not have a big mess and everything runs smoothly. There are not many people who meet these conditions, and Gao Gong is undoubtedly one of the most likely to be selected. Even if he is excluded, there is also a Xu Jie, who is an old minister in the Jiajing era, with enough prestige and qualifications, and he is Zhang Juzheng's mentor. It seems that he is more suitable and more acceptable to the Jiangling Party when he comes up as the first assistant, but Xu Jie's identity is ...... Seems too appropriate.
"Xu Shaohu must not come back!" In Shamao Hutong, in Zhang's study, Feng Bao's tone was particularly resolute:
"Brother Taiyue, you are a smart man, you don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, you should be able to understand what I mean. Xu Shaohu is indeed suitable for your position, but he is too suitable. I heard that he has a good health regimen, and he actually came back to life in the first two years, if he returns to the pivotal position for ten years, even if you return to the court, how can you deal with yourself? You can't let the teacher move the student's seat, right? ”
Zhang Juzheng's face is not very good-looking, his relationship with his father is actually not good, and he can't get used to his father's actions and character since he was a child. After his own career, his father's behavior can only be described as nonsense, thanks to Huguang is his own basic plate, every governor is a confidant, and many things are solved on the spot, otherwise I don't know where to go.
As a son of man, he doesn't really want his father to die, but when he hears that his father is seriously ill, Zhang Juzheng won't be much sad. Now his thoughts are not on his father's body at all, but on the next arrangement. He and Feng Bao had nothing to talk about, there was no need to say anything about auspicious celestial phenomena at such a time. The news of the precious medicine in the palace and the news of his son's success are all hopes for a turnaround, but you have to prepare for the worst.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Shuanglin, what you said, I didn't think of it. But if things really come to that point, who is qualified to stop Gao Gao Xuan from entering the pavilion except for the teacher? If he comes back, I'll be able to kick him out when I get back? Besides, the grievances between you and me and him, how can they be resolved with just a few words, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be a big chaos. Don't mention you and me, even the ministers below, life is not easy. ”
"This ...... It's a nuisance, too. High School Xuan is physically healthy and in good spirits, if Taiyue goes home to defend the system, he will most likely come back to preside over the situation. Cisheng will block it, but whether it can block it or not, it is not easy to say now. You also know how many Gao Xin Zheng people are in the court now, and I can't say it. After all, he has not been in power for a few years, and I am afraid that there are still some people who are worried about him going out of the mountain. ”
Zhang Juzheng was silent, obviously supporting Feng Bao's view. At this time, You Qi came in from outside and said to Zhang Juzheng: "A letter, hand over to the ...... of the inner house."
"Bring it to me."
Zhang Juzheng unceremoniously took the letter to his daughter in his hand, opened it casually, Feng Bao shook his head and said, "Taiyue, you are not a gentleman enough. ”
"As a parent, where does he care about the gentleman or not, I want to see what he writes in his letter......
Zhang Juzheng read the letter very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance, but after he hurriedly read the letter, he did not rush to stuff the letter back, but put it down and read it twice, and handed the letter to Feng Bao, with no expression on his face, but between his eyebrows, there was no anger in Fang Cai.
"This bastard...... It's a bit of a conscience, Shuanglin, you see, this move is okay. ”
Feng Bao looked at it very carefully, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Taiyue, this casual hand you made in the Criminal Department, at this time, it seems that it is the hand of the immortals." When this thing is done, Gao Xinzheng's road can at least be cut off, and everyone's hearts will be settled. ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "This kid is really a restless troublemaker, wherever he goes, things will go to trouble, and how many storms can one person stir up." Shuanglin, you should send a few people to teach him. ”
"Taiyue, don't worry, I will arrange for people to do this."
Late that night, in the courtyard of the Feng family, Feng Bangning, who was still unable to get out of bed, instructed the man in front of him: "You go, send a letter to those rammed goods, don't come out during this time...... Someone wants to investigate the old case and let them go out to take shelter. ”
