The No. 1 boss of the Ministry of War promised to personally solve the problem of military status, including Shen Maoxue, and everyone in the study had to think about it carefully and carefully. In the end, Shen Yourong was the first to speak embarrassedly: "Tan Butang is kind, and he understands it late, but the Shen family in Xuancheng is also a scholarly family, and it doesn't matter if I don't dare to go to the field of virtue with this virtue, if I can't even pass the martial arts test, I can't persuade my family to let me join the army." Anyway, I'm going to give it a try next year! ”

Shen Yourong made a start, but the others were not as confident as him, and few of them really planned to try their skills in the martial arts arena, but they all said that although they were enthusiastic when they first came out of Fushun Pass, they were not willing to change their military status to go to Liaodong Frontier. For such a straightforward statement, Tan Lun didn't think it was wrong. After all, the Liao people who were born and raised in Liaodong are still envious of the wealth in the Guannei and constantly want to escape into the Shanhaiguan, so in addition to the talented people who really have confidence in themselves and have the heart to make contributions, how many people are willing to go to that bitter cold place with their heads and work hard?

"It's okay, you don't have to feel any psychological burden, if you want to take the martial arts test, just take the test with your heart."

However, when he met these people and promised a few words of encouragement one by one, and finally only Wang Fulin and Shen Maoxue were left, Tan Lun said to Shen Maoxue: "Jundian, several sons in the family of Lord Shoufu are full of praise for you, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible after returning to Nanzhili this time, and prepare for the next examination." If I'm not mistaken, the next subject, Lord Shousuke, will personally take the exam, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to call yourself a teacher. ”

Shen Maoxue saw Tan Lun for the first time, and he never expected that Tan Lun would pierce such a layer of window paper so lightly and skillfully. He is famous in the southeast, and he was born in a scholarly family. If you want to say that you are in the middle of the lift, you are also high-spirited. Bloom of youth. But it is a big regret to try again and again. Even if Tan Lun said it so nakedly, he was clearly suspected of being determined in the next subject examination, but he knew very well that the doorway of the hall examination was the real competition for academic articles, and the spelling was clearly all kinds of doorways, otherwise how could there be those champions who were over fifty years old?

Could it be that he was in his early fifties and could win the top prize in one fell swoop, and he couldn't even pass the Jinshi exam three years ago or six years ago?

With mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what to answer, so he could only silently and deeply understand. And the few words in his heart were still said by Wang Fulin on his behalf: "Tan Butang rest assured, after Brother Shen goes home, he will prepare more vigorously, and when the next branch hall exam will be examined, others will definitely not be able to find any fault in his paper!" ”

After talking about the matter, Tan Lun naturally had to meet the three little ones in Wang Fulin's family - Ye Xiaopang didn't know how to persuade Ye Junyao and Mrs. Su to return to Huizhou Mansion together, but he was not here at this time, but sorted out his luggage at Ye's house, so Wang Fulin only called Jinbao and Qiu Feng over.

Seeing that, Tan Lun smiled and asked the two little guys. Wang Daokun slipped Wang Fu Linti aside and asked softly, "Jinbao doesn't need to talk about it." This year is thirteen, and it will be two or three years before they get married, but Qiu Feng is already quite old. Moreover, he is a man with parents and brothers, although you sent them with silver, but you must know that some villains are not so easy to send after all, especially villains in the name of blood relatives. ”

Wang Fulin's face suddenly froze. Jinbao's elder brother Wang Qiu had already been recharged, and he had gone through the formal procedures of the patriarch of the Wang clan in Songming Mountain to pass Jinbao to his name, so there was no problem, but Qiu Feng was different after all. Under Wang Daokun's gaze, he thought for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "If that's the case, you can only use the trick I used to adopt Jinbao at the beginning." ”

"Yes, find a simple and reliable family member and pass Qiu Feng over to the past, so it is logical to cut off the relationship with his parents." Wang Daokun nodded, and then said solemnly, "If Shen Yourong really wants to get married when he goes back this time, when you go to drink the wedding wine, you might as well let Xiaobei pay attention to whether Shen Yourong's peers have a suitable girl." The Wang family of Songmingshan used to marry in She County most of the time, but now that you are a Jinshi, Jinbao is also very qualified, and the future is immeasurable, and you have a good relationship with the Shen family's uncles and nephews, if you can marry the Shen family in Xuancheng, it will be of great benefit. ”

After all, Wang Fulin still has a bit of influence from later generations, and he believes in free love, and he gets married after seeing the right eye, so he was not happy with the marriage decided by his parents' orders and concubines, and even muttered in his heart when he knew that it was Xiaobei. Now that Wang Daokun directly asked him to decide Jinbao's marriage like this, he was really a little emotionally unacceptable, but intellectually he knew that this was right. Therefore, he could only respond vaguely first, but in his heart, he thought that in addition to going back and talking to Xiaobei, he also had to try to communicate with Jinbao, at least when the time came, he had to find a way to get on a blind date or something.

Tan Lun and Wang Daokun came to visit together today, all within the official time of the yamen, but in Tan Lun's words, it was the emperor's edict from Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the palace who was the chief of ceremonies and the eunuch Bingbi, asking him to visit the warriors who rescued hundreds of Han slaves in Liaodong, so the two officials of the two cousins have been in Wang's house for a long time. And when Wang Fulin sent people out and got into the sedan chair, one of the entourages waiting in front of the door walked quickly to greet him, and whispered to Tan Lun's side for a while. This is obviously news that is not suitable for others to know, but after Tan Lun's face froze, he turned his head to look at Wang Daokun and beckoned to him.

After drawing a gourd and whispering to Wang Daokun for a while, the secretary of the military department got into the sedan chair carried by four people. Wang Daokun stood silently in place for a moment, but did not immediately get on the sedan chair, but glanced at Wang Fulin again, until Wang Fulin stepped forward with an expression that did not understand their style, and he said in a low voice: "The matter caused by the Liaodong Patrol Imperial History Liu Tai is not over, Lord Shoufu is preparing to clean the Taoist official, and give Yu Mao a book to Chen to play five things in the matter. ”

Wang Fulin thought that when Yu Maoxue was debating in the Wenhua Palace, he finally couldn't help but impeach Zhang Juzheng after not following the others, but after more than a month, he suddenly fired again, and he was a little surprised. Seeing Wang Daokun's slightly sneering posture, he didn't know that Zhang Juzheng's not saying a word did not mean that he was not angry.

Sure enough, Wang Daokun then shook his head and said: "The first one is Chongdunda, and it is said that it directly refers to the strict examination method; The second pro-confession said that it was impossible to speak, and the emperor and the ministers did not listen to the advice of the officials; The third article is cautious, saying that His Majesty's reward is too wide, the eunuch's nephew gave Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the official of Kedao said that he would not give Shangshu Fu Jiong a funeral, but he gave it, and gave you the reward of those Liaodong warriors; The fourth precept is changing, saying that the order changes every day, and that's it; But in the last anti-deceit, Yu Maoxue directly swept the ministers, the celebrant supervisors, and the governors from all over the country together, saying that the merit was attributed to the ministers first, or the superintendents, but he ignored the people who really made meritorious contributions, such as the completion of the Zhuozhou Bridge, and even the merits of the ceremonial supervisors were counted, isn't it sycophancy? In short, when the celebrant saw this performance, he was only more angry than Lord Shoufu. ”

Wang Daokun, who has a good memory, almost relayed Tan Lun's words word for word, and when he said this, Fang couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Although he didn't name him, it was almost the same as that effect." Liu Tai has already been arrested by Jinyiwei to enter Beijing, and Yu Maoxue's fate may not be much better...... Don't worry, you're not in Jingshi, I'll keep my mouth shut. ”

After saying this, Wang Daokun sighed deeply, and then stepped forward and bent down into the sedan chair. Waiting for the sedan chair carried by two by four people in front of the front and one behind the other to leave, Wang Fulin couldn't help but sigh, secretly thinking that there are only two ways to be a science and Taoist official in these years - either as a troll who speaks for the powerful and powerful, or as a troll for the justice of his heart - the former is undoubtedly a dog with a rope in the hands of others, but the latter is a dog that will be slaughtered by the top at every turn, it is really boring to the extreme, even more boring than being a magistrate!

For Zhang Juzheng, who was just about to purge the Taoist official, although Yu Maoxue's performance provided him with the best knife, he was first stabbed by his protégé Liaodong Patrol Yushi Liu Tai, and then he was directly poked in the heart by Yu Maoxue, and resentment was naturally indispensable in his heart. What's more, almost every one of the five articles stated by Yu Maoxue is related to the decrees he promotes, or the personnel arrangements. This time, he didn't need to make a statement in front of Emperor Wanli again, and Feng Bao, who was also swept away, polished the holy oracle dictated by Zhu Yijun in a hurry at that time, and directly criticized Zhu for announcing it at the court meeting.

"I am the heir of the year, conscientious day and night, and abide by the law of my ancestors, but I am afraid of falling. In recent years, he has only affirmed the old chapters, abolished the practice, and has not tried to kill a person in vain. In the law of the ancestors, it has not been done one or two out of ten, so how can it be called manipulative? Yu Mao is responsible for his academic duties, and does not think about the intention of the imperial court to make great efforts, but invites people to buy people's hearts and evil the government under the pretense of saying that he is big, and he must be bribed by rich officials and rich people to lobby for it. It seems that such a chaotic politician should be governed according to the law, read the words of the official, and be lenient and dismissed for the people, and never be used! ”

On the day Wang Fulin left Beijing, he was not the only one, Cheng Kui and Wu Yingming, who had traveled for a long time, and Wu Zhongming, who had traveled for a long time, also planned to return to their hometowns to see, so everyone made an appointment to go together, but this was also the day when Yu Maoxue resigned from his post and left Beijing. Unlike Wang Fulin's group of more than 20 people and two mule carts, who looked like they were happily returning home, Yu Maoxue only brought an old servant and a scholar, and no one sent him off. At the moment when the two sides looked at each other, Wang Fulin just opened the curtain of the mule cart, and at a glance he found that the eloquent talk he had seen in the Wenhua Hall looked haggard and thin, but his black eyes were still the same as before.

"I didn't expect it to be so coincidental that I actually met Wang Gongzi who returned to his hometown to recuperate." Yu Maoxue said hello generously, and then said frankly, "Everyone was belittled before, and I was secretly born, but now I am finally relaxed." Master Shoufu wants to ban private lectures, so I will become a private school teacher after returning to my hometown, and I want to live up to my accumulation of more than 20 years of hard study! ”

This is a persistent person!

Wang Fulin was silent for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Mr. Yu take care, it's not too early, don't pass here, farewell!" ”

Although I admire this kind of firm and faithful person in my heart, but the Tao is not the same, even if it is going in one direction, it is better not to go together! What's more, Zhang Juzheng's arbitrariness may indeed be outrageous, and some decrees may be overkill, but today's world has to need Zhang Juzheng such a ruthless hand! (To be continued.) )
