Chapter 46: The Potential Crisis of the Ming Dynasty

"It's better to live in my small courtyard to free up a few rooms"

The originally somewhat embarrassing scene, after Shen Wuyan said this, suddenly became active again, and many officials who rushed to fight the fire nodded and praised: "Mr. Shen's move is really good"

Shen Wuyan was actually quite helpless, the first assistant of the dignified cabinet, but the house in the capital was so simple, it was completely burned clean with a fire, and he couldn't afford to buy a house for a while.

However, the colleagues did not mention the purchase of a new house, let alone persuade Gao Yi to live in his own house, in short, they did not want to cause this trouble, and they probably guessed that even if Gao Yi was persuaded to buy a house, he would not be able to afford the money.

It was really nothing to give Grohe some silver, but it was hard to guess whether this move would hurt the self-esteem of the cabinet scholar, and if it was to provoke criticism, it was really not cost-effective, so he simply used it for sightseeing and did not say a word.

Therefore, when Shen Wuyan made this statement, the officials were immediately relieved, and today's firefighting incident can be over, and Grohe will be able to live in Mr. Shen's house in the future, everything is so perfect.

Gao Yi was still a little prevaricated, but when he looked back at his yellow-faced and thin-skinned wives and children, he couldn't bear to let them suffer from running around, so he simply nodded and replied: "So good, thank you Mr. Shen."

Shen Wuyan smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "It's just a matter of raising your hands, besides, those few houses are empty, but Gao Ge can still talk about life philosophy when he goes to live there for leisure."

The last sentence was a joke, but when Gao Yi heard it, he suddenly looked serious again, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Mou is just coming to the capital for the first time, and it is quite difficult to deal with all kinds of government affairs, so you can take this opportunity to consult Mr. Shen."

Shen Wuyan was stunned for a moment, but it was not good to say more, so he simply ordered the servants who came to call a carriage to send all the things that the Gao Yi family had here to the small courtyard first.

Then the onlookers dispersed one after another, leaving Shen Wuyan and the three elders of the cabinet. Then because Gao Yi was going to the small courtyard to settle his family, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and Shen Wuyan were left.

These three people who can cause a wave in the Ming Dynasty can cause a wave at this time, and they walked on the streets of the alleys of the capital at will, but they did not attract onlookers.

There is no gong to open the way, but you are in front of me and behind, and you don't even bring a retinue.

But he didn't go in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion. Probably idle today, because Shen Wuyan came over. Or maybe it's a side reason, in short, it's still a little special.

The weeping willows on the shore of the lake in the distance swayed in the wind, which alarmed the fish in the water to come to hunt, but unfortunately they accidentally pounced on the air, but they were shot by a slingshot by a shrewd child on the shore.

This scene entered the eyes of the three people at the same time, but they didn't know if there were fluctuations in the heartstrings of the three people, in short, all three of them were silent.

It wasn't until he walked across the bridge along the river that Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "The cabinet can't be without two people chatting first, so I'll go over there to greet the elders of the first and second high pavilions, don't worry." ”

Gao Gong glanced at Zhang Juzheng. Nodding. In fact, he attaches great importance to Zhang Juzheng in his heart, this handsome scholar is really talented in the world, and now he is in the cabinet, but he has never been able to provoke, which is really a little unpredictable.

A few days ago, he found out that he was messing around with Feng Bao, which really annoyed him, but even so. He still values Zhang Juzheng very much.

So much so that there were only two people in the cabinet before, including Zhang Juzheng. probably hopes to be able to stand side by side with him, for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, for the benefit of the people, and for the Zhu family.

However, the other party is always tepid, but he rarely competes with himself. But there was also no very close cooperation. If there is a disagreement between the two on the performance, Zhang Juzheng will most likely compromise.

Compared with the other scholar in front of him, he trusted Zhang Juzheng more, because he found that Zhang Juzheng's talent was comparable to his own, and he was also born as a Jinshi, so he should serve the country and the people.

In front of him, this scholar is not only not from a Jinshi background, but his words and deeds are even more deviant on weekdays. There is no idea of divorce and humility in acting, in short, the way is different.

Since he came to the capital this time, he has become even more disgusted, probably because he feels that the other party wants to be stronger than back then, and seems to have the potential to take his place, in short, there is a lot of pressure.

So after Zhang Juzheng left, Gao Gong raised his hand and hugged his fist at Shen Wuyan. But he was stopped by Shen Wuyan waving his hand, and casually pulled Gao Gong to a roadside tea stall.

Shen Wuyan teased Gao Gong while making tea: "It's really a bit to let Gao Ge Lao drink this big bowl of tea, but Gao Ge Lao is honest and honest, and there is no need to pay much attention to it."

Gao Gong didn't pay attention to Shen Wuyan's teasing, but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen has something to say and say it bluntly, why bother to beat around the bush like this." ”

Shen Wuyan suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and sighed lightly: "In the imperial court, only the Gao Ge Elder knows this best."

"Something to say." Gao Gong drank the tea in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and poured another big bowl himself.

Shen Wuyan laughed, and then said slowly: "You also know that I used to open a teahouse in Suzhou, and now I plan to open a teahouse in the capital, but there are still a lot of problems here, so I want to ask the old Gaoge to write a word to encourage one or two."

This is also true, if you talk about the level of understanding of Shen Wuyan's background in the capital, except for the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, then there will be a high arch left.

Over the years, he had planned to use Shen Wuyan at the beginning, until he found out that Shen Wuyan had become bigger, so he planned to get rid of him, until now the other party was so powerful.

Along the way, there are high arches.

It's just that these words suddenly turned to business, which really surprised Gao Gong. I thought I was going to come over to talk about the previous Yue Yun Restaurant, but I waited for such a puzzling sentence.

It's easier to think about it, at least you don't need to be prepared to deal with the other party's words, and there is not so much burden to talk about other things after all.

"The words of the old man are not as famous as Mr. Shen's, if they are used to motivate, it is probably difficult to produce results, and it is really not wise to open a teahouse in the capital."

Shen Wuyan nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Presumably, Gao Ge Lao will not care about the pen fee of these thousands of taels of silver, but if you can distribute these thousands of taels of silver to these officials in the capital, Gao Ge Lao"

The words were not finished, but Gao Gong understood the truth. A thousand taels of silver is not much, but it is a lot.

The income of Ming officials is extremely low, and although officials like Gao Yi are rare, they do still exist. Although it is an inherent rule, it can still be improved.

It's just that because the treasury has recovered slightly, they don't dare to rashly raise their salaries, so they can only give subsidies from the smallest details, so that those officials who are living in difficulty can survive. In short, the icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow.

That's pretty much it, but it's still the silver that's missing. Gao Gong's own income is really not high, in addition to making a living, he can also write some words, and he can always receive some silver, but it is never too much.

The meaning of Shen Wuyan's words is probably still very vague, such as a few thousand taels of silver, which is a few thousand, but he didn't say it explicitly, which means that only he is willing, and he can think as much as he wants.

"Writing is naturally not a big deal, Mr. Shen said what he wanted to write"

Shen Wuyan heard this, and it was not very strange in his heart. Gao Gong naturally doesn't like silver, but he hopes to reconcile with the officials in the capital, and in the final analysis, it is for the position of the first assistant to sit more stable.

Naturally, he would not let Shen Wuyan personally send him the silver, thinking that he would distribute the silver to the officials in the capital in a certain situation and in the name of Gao Gong himself. It is enough to make these relief officials more favorable.

After agreeing here, Shen Wuyan casually took out a small piece of paper, on which was the text he planned to let Gao Gong write, as well as some of the special requirements.

Gao Gong was stunned, then took the paper and threw it into his arms, and said lightly: "I will send it to your house after I write it."

Shen Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not necessary, there are still some things that I will personally pick up when the time comes, and some things still have to be discussed with the elder of the pavilion. ”

"The old man doesn't think there is any need to talk about these things" Gao Gong got up slowly and said coldly: "In the officialdom of the capital, it has always been like this. ”

Looking at Gao Gong, who was about to leave with small steps, Shen Wuyan sighed lightly before he said: "The infighting in the court is better than one day at a time, this will definitely give outsiders a chance to take advantage of it, why bother?"

Gao arched his body slightly, and then continued to move forward, leaving only one sentence, and said: "These things in the court must always be resolved clearly, and Mr. Shen must understand this principle before going outside." ”

"These words" Shen Wuyan frowned tightly and looked at the distant northern sky.

It was as if he could see the fifteen-year-old, who was in good shape and slowly growing, and in a few years his iron rider would be coming.

On the other side, in the southeast direction, across the sea from Daming, the man who looked like a monkey was now sharpening the knife in his hand. He licked his lips slightly and laughed miserably in the direction of Da Ming.

However, these internal seems to be empty and boring words for Da Ming. What is more important is who can be a great minister, and who has written a beautiful hairpin.

After all, he had to sigh for a long time, Shen Wuyan got up, sighed for a while in the direction of Gao Gong's distance, and then muttered: "Some people are indeed people who serve the country and the people, but he still can't use it, because he can't change the fate of a country."

The sunset is coming, shining on the street market not far away, it is very conspicuous, the body is a little dazzling, in short, it is not very comfortable.

After saying this, Shen Wuyan checked out and left. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
