Chapter 398: Cutting the Robe and Breaking the Righteousness
Zhang Yong hurried back to the palace.
Of course, Xu Xun knew that the most favored eunuchs around Zhu Houzhao were not an iron plate, but now that they are all enemies outside, fighting in the nest is the best choice to find death, and to fight with the same enemy. Therefore, Liu Jin had something to do with Zhang Yongrun, and he didn't think there was anything strange about it.
In the evening, Gu Dayong asked Xichang to bring the news out, saying that it was Qin Tianjian who risked his death to admonish him, and the location of Dao Tailing was wrong, and the person died extremely tragically, Zhu Houzhao was furious and called the master of ceremonies and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Sheng, and the left and right attendants to the Wenhua Hall for a good questioning.
Hearing such news, Xu Xun didn't know whether the official of Qin Tianjian was instigated or coerced and lured, and his expression couldn't help but be a little confused. This is the sadness of the little person, others are just a sentence, and he has to lose his surname. Of course, it is also possible that there are people who have different opinions on the location of the mausoleum, after all, Tailing feng shui is also a matter of opinion until later generations, and it is not impossible to admonish each other with death. Thinking that he had heard that the site of Tailing was originally played indiscriminately, he couldn't help but sigh.
If it is really demolished and rebuilt, it will not only cost the people and money, but also delay the burial of Emperor Hongzhi; But if he pinched his nose and recognized it, Zhu Houzhao, a filial son, would not follow it. For now, let's wait and see how things develop.
For a few days in a row, he only concentrated on training the avant-garde of the government army under his control every day, and selected a hundred young soldiers with high martial arts skills from them, and handed them over to Cao Mi, who was born in Jiangmen. At the same time as Jian pulled out the newcomers, he did not forget the old men who had been following him, and when the court did not have time to take care of him, he went up one by one, and on the grounds that the number of the avant-garde of the government army was increasing now, he took Maqiao as the commander, and the rest of the general flags of the hundred households were also raised and lowered. However, he wanted to wait and see, but some people refused to let him go.
In the evening of this day, he went out of Xi'an Gate and galloped all the way home, only to find that an unexpected guest was waiting for him at home. When he arrived at the study, as soon as he pushed the door in, he saw a person sitting in the bright room drinking tea and suddenly put down the teacup and stood up, it was Wang Shouren. Since the last time Xu Xun was knighted, Wang Shouren and Zhan Ruoshui came to congratulate together, the two have not met, and when they meet at this time, Wang Shouren doesn't care about greetings, and says bluntly: "In the past few days, there has been a lot of trouble in the court because of the golden wells and feng shui in Tailing, can you tell me, what is going on?" ”
Xu Xun originally pulled Wang Shouren on the thief ship, and he took a fancy to the other party's military quality, even if it could not be said to be a gentleman's friend, but he also had a lot of sympathy, and later he even had some intention of wooing his father's right attendant Wang Hua - but it turned out that the factor and the father were not a good choice. Wang Hua was quite a fan of Cheng Minzheng's case back then, but he had a clean and honest frame in front of him and refused to have further contacts, so he almost stopped going to the king's house.
At this moment, Wang Shouren was a little aggressive when he saw him, Xu Xun raised his eyebrows, and immediately asked, "Brother Wang thinks what's going on?" If the impeachment of others is true, everyone knows that Jinjing started to be played after the site of Tailing, and since it will be pumped out, it must be the wrong location at the beginning! ”
Seeing that Wang Shouren opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, he said word by word without waiting for him to speak: "If you don't mention it sooner or later, but now that the Tailing Xuangong is about to be completed and the golden wells are dug up, everyone knows that it is difficult to find evidence, but it is an inconclusive ending." But Yang Ziqi wrote, the celebrant Wang Yue echoed, and the official followed the trend, and the matter naturally boiled over, but the water suddenly became like this, but it was a bad calculation for some people, but Brother Wang came to question for this matter? ”
"Sure enough, it's you."
Wang Shouren's face changed for a while, and finally showed deep regret: "You are a great talent, why do you want to be with those eunuchs?" You obviously know that this incident with Yang Ziqi is just to teach those arrogant eunuchs a lesson, why do you want to give them ideas and mix up all those many people? ”
Xu Xun knew in his heart that Zhang Yong must have come to look for him before, and as soon as he went back to Qin Tianjian, there was a disturbance that someone was admonishing him with death, so he was connected by someone who had been staring at him. However, Wang Shouren is not qualified enough to know such details, and today's trip to Xingshi to ask for guilt is only afraid that some people want to watch a good show of cutting off robes and breaking righteousness, and instigate people in a few words. He has always believed in success and defeat, and does not care too much about temporary fame, but this does not mean that he is willing to be calculated like this.
"It seems that I have become a person like me now, and I don't know how many people are staring at it."
After shrugging his shoulders self-deprecatingly, Xu Xun ignored Wang Shouren, who had a slightly gloomy face, and sat down on the chair next to him, before raising his head and saying, "That's right, I came up with this idea." The first emperor went suddenly, and he did not choose a mausoleum before his death, so it was not so easy to choose a site in a hurry, whether it was for the Ministry of Rites or the Qin Tianjian, and the construction had to be completed in a few months, which was even more difficult, and the pressure on the treasury was also not small. Yang Ziqi wrote because since he saw it, he had to understand that it was his own temperament, whether the emperor believed it or not, whether he checked it or not, it was only within the controllable range. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "But Wang Yue, who was involved in a celebrant eunuch, was followed by a number of officials clamoring to thoroughly investigate whether the construction of Tailing was malfunctional, and this matter can be regarded as a big trouble." If it is found that Jinjing has not been permeable, then Yang Ziqi has been pushed to the cusp, what will happen to him when the emperor is angry? If it is found that the Jinjing is permeable, then whether the supervisor Li Xing and the eunuch Liu Jin, the internal official and eunuch who recommended him, will be questioned is just a trivial matter, they have never thought about the emperor's surname, whether to reselect the mausoleum at that time, whether to rebuild the Xuangong, how many people will be used in the end, and how much will it cost? ”
Wang Shouren's face changed several times when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask: "Then you actually add fuel to the fire?" ”
"If you don't add fuel to the fire, this situation will not be calmed down. Knowing that there are too many people involved, it will only increase the troubles if it continues, and the bosses will try their best to play round and muddy, and at the same time pick out the people who want to be protected one by one, they will not have time to chase and beat the eunuchs you just mentioned. As for the emperor's anger, he always manages to calm it...... It's a pity that there is a Yang Ziqi. He was used as a fuse in this artillery battle when he didn't expect it. ”
Although there is no fuse now, Wang Shouren can't understand it, and while his face turns blue, he has to admit that what Xu Xun said is at least seventy or eighty percent reasonable. Therefore, after being silent for a long time, he still asked relentlessly: "You haven't answered me yet, why do you want to be with those eunuchs?" ”
"Because the righteous men and gentlemen in the court can't tolerate me, is this answer satisfactory to Brother Wang? Think about how much pressure you and I had endured from the inside out, you should know it yourself! Keep your distance from the fortunate people, presumably Ling Zun also warned you so, right? ”
Speaking of this, Xu Xun didn't look at Wang Shouren, but just said word by word: "In the final analysis, what I want is not stability, but change." Brother Wang, you should have known when you were shelved in the cabinet that this court is the most fearful of any variable. For those who are lowly, as long as they keep ignoring and ignoring them, they can gradually wear out their sharpness; As for those who are lucky enough to get a high position, then there is only one way to squeeze out and strike. At that time, Cheng Min Zhenggong was not a fluke in a high position, but he did not agree with people's political opinions, coupled with his young age and strong position, which attracted people to be afraid, although I can never compare with him, but how can it not be so, I am all I say, Brother Wang, please go back. ”
Looking at Xu Xun, who was calm and calm, Wang Shouren stood there for a while, and turned his head to walk out as soon as he stomped his feet. When he arrived at the door, he held the curtain with one hand, and suddenly said without looking back: "Shizhen, my father once said to me, you are too fierce, and you are a person who is not satisfied with his position in your bones, I disagreed with him at that time, but I agreed with it in my heart, because I am a surname similar to you!" I know what you just said is sincere, and I don't want to argue with you, I just advise you, don't play with fire [***], those old adults have crossed more bridges than you walk, and they won't always be deflated! ”
Daddy Wang is really wise!
Xu Xun smiled bitterly in his heart, but he stood up and arched his hand, not caring if Wang Shouren could see it: "Thank you Brother Wang for your kind reminder." I can't say anything unashamedly, although thousands of people have gone to me, but I just do things from my heart. But I also want to advise Brother Wang, to put it nicely, Liu Jin and these people are not welcome, so the righteous people naturally attack in groups as soon as they have the opportunity, but it is not good, but there are also people who are afraid of them, oh, I have to add me, with the grace of God, gather a group of people who are really talented but have no ambition. In the end, it's still a party dispute! ”
Seeing that Wang Shouren turned his head with an agitated spirit, and suddenly opened the door curtain and went out, Xu Xun couldn't help but lean heavily on the Taishi chair. Liu Jin in history has a good way to die, but the people under the party are not all incompetent, on the contrary, there are many civil officials who are really talented and learned, and there are many military generals who are strategic, but in the end, as soon as Liu Jin falls, a large number of people are cleaned up in the name of the eunuch party. Even if he is coincidental, his current situation has reached the limit of three or two people, and if he wants to do something in this world, it is impossible to hope that he will be in harmony with the big guys!
Wang Shouren walked out of Xing'anbo's Mansion in despair, stepped on horseback and looked around, but he didn't know where to go. After hesitating for a while, he turned his horse out of the alley, but as soon as he got on Xuanwumen Street, he heard a voice.
"Boan!"
Recognizing that it was Li Mengyang who was standing there dressed as an ordinary scribe, Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, then rode his horse and walked a few steps quickly to the front of the people, and then dismounted. After saluting each other, Li Mengyang glanced left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "Did you cut your robe with that Pingbei uncle?" ”
