Facts have proved that Wang Fulin is not the only one with strong combat effectiveness, but strong combat effectiveness does not mean that he has stronger courage, and having stronger courage does not mean that he has outstanding judgment, and people who have everything may not have a corresponding background. Therefore, since Yin Zhengmao failed to win Wang Fulin's help, but chose another way to fight with Li Youzi, who had caught the real evidence, he had to face the consequences of Li Youzi's faction's attacks becoming more and more ferocious, and he was getting weaker and weaker.

And what made him feel most disturbed was that Zhang Juzheng was silent about fighting in his own people's nest! On this day, when he deliberately chose Xiu Muri to go to Zhang's mansion to meet Zhang Juzheng, the same year and Shoufu just comforted him as if playing Tai Chi, and there was no substantive content at all, until he said goodbye and left, Zhang Juzheng reminded him meaningfully.

"Shi Ting, you and I are the same year, and we have been friends for many years, remember my words, take a step back and open the sky."

Taking a step back and opening up the sky, at first glance, this seems to be persuading Yin Zhengmao not to fight with Li Youzi anymore, but Yin Zhengmao has been an official for so many years, where can he not hear the pun in his words? Where is this to persuade himself to stop fighting, but to persuade himself to resolutely resign and return to his hometown, and when the opportunity is ripe in the future, Zhang Juzheng will find a way to enable him as a person!

Thinking that he is one year older than Li Youzi, he is already sixty-five years old this year, even if he recovers in a year or two, he will already be old, and the most important thing is that the sixth department of the Beijing Division is likely to not be able to vacate a seat, Yin Zhengmao When he left the Zhang University Scholar's Mansion, he only felt that his two legs were like lead, and he couldn't walk.

Barely getting into the sedan chair, he collapsed on the seat all of a sudden, and suddenly thought of the scene when he went to find Wang Fulin before, but Wang Fulin went to see Xu Guo.

At that time, he only felt that Xu Guo had lost in the competition with He Yuwen, not only did he not get the title of the head of the Hanlin Academy, but he was even sent to Nanjing, and he couldn't help but ridicule Xu Guo behind his back for not being able to let go of his face, otherwise just by virtue of his son-in-law Cheng Naixuan and Wang Fulin like brothers, Wang Fulin would not lose to He Ruowen if he entered Zhang's mansion and entered his own house! But now, Xu Guo is at least promoted to the southern supervisor of the sacrificial wine, but he is about to return to his hometown with a dismal illness, and he is far inferior to Xu Guo in comparison!

There are only a few of them, after Wang Daokun, the three of them who used to have infinite scenery in the court, these are all gone, among the officials from She County, except for Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan, the two juniors in the court, there are only two or three people whose grades are unsatisfactory and whose official positions are not important.

When Yin Zhengmao was once again unwilling and reluctant to write to the doctor again, Zhu Yijun, who had been retained several times before, finally played this time. Although the treatment was no different from those high-ranking officials in the past, everyone in the court and the central government understood that this Hubu Shangshu was defeated in the battle with Li Youzi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works. Among them, the most panicked person was not others, but Zhang Yun, the household official who was named in the impeachment of the officials. He never thought that what Hu Quan said to him before would turn out to be true, and Yin Zhengmao, who had great achievements and even more brilliant qualifications, would lose to Li Youzi!

Because of this, that evening, he came to the door of Hu Quan's house again to wait for the rabbit. When he saw Hu Quan walking in from the mouth of the alley with his hands behind his back, he rushed forward with an arrow step. But before he could say anything, he saw Hu Quan smiling at him.

"Yin Butang is completely defeated, are you worried? If I were you, put my heart in my belly. Li Butang instigated Kedao to write a book, and directly squeezed Yin Butang out, he looked like a big victory, but what does it feel like in the eyes of others? Yuanfu's people are actually fighting in the nest, isn't this a chance for outsiders? It's too late for him to hurry up, why are you holding on to a little official? really made you anxious, you held his urine and fainted, but he was so angry that he instigated the official to impeach Yin Butang and said it, and he still wants to face the Ministry of Works? ”

It turned out that this matter that I thought was a big deal can be used as a last resort to threaten the fish to die and break the net! What a miscalculation, this is obviously a common means of hob meat!

Zhang Yun opened his mouth wide, and only after a long time did he wake up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him repeatedly: "Brother Hu, I'm already dizzy in a hurry, thanks to your reminder, otherwise I'm afraid that I will leave my family and run for my life!" If there is anything in the future, if you open your mouth, I will do it even if I risk my life! ”

"Where do you want to risk your life?" Hu Quan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Zhang Yun, but muttered in his heart, if you know that I sent your black materials to those officials of the Ministry of Works, which makes you fall back now and be in a panic, you have to pull out a knife and stab me! is today's rhetoric, which is also what Wang Fulin told him, so that if he encounters Zhang Yun again to find fault or ask for help, he will take it out. At this moment, he calmed Zhang Yun in a few words, and when he left the alley gratefully, he touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

If this hob meat is provoked, it can really do anything! However, will Li Youzi really die down?

Yin Zhengmao has been squeezed out of power, Li Youzi let out a bad breath, but as soon as the fire in his heart gradually calmed down, he keenly felt that Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards him seemed to be a little cold, and then he woke up to the fact that the fight between himself and Yin Zhengmao was a bit too much. He had to come to the door in person to explain to Zhang Juzheng, a fellow villager and the same year, why he did this. However, since he was ashamed of being given a diuretic plantain in tea, he could only point the finger at the loose management of the household department and the shortcomings of those old officials.

"Rong Zhengshangshu Zhang Xinzhai has enough military exploits."

Li Youzi knew that this was what Zhang Juzheng meant when he told himself that when the court pushed the household department Shangshu, he might as well push Zhang Xueyan. He and Zhang Xueyan didn't have any personal grudges, but they didn't have any friendship at all, and he even felt that Zhang Juzheng was expressing his dissatisfaction in disguise. Because Zhang Xueyan and Yin Zhengmao's experiences have something in common, that is, they have both served as superintendents, and both of them have quite meritorious military achievements. Compared with his lackluster experience back then, whether it is Yin Zhengmao or Zhang Xueyan, all of them are remarkable political achievements and military achievements. He knew he had little room for bargaining, and he agreed without resignation.

As for the damn household official Zhang Yun before, Li Youzi is no longer in the mood to find fault.

As soon as Li Youzi left, Zhang Juzheng thought that when Yin Zhengmao went to find Wang Fulin before, Wang Fulin went to see Xu Guo off, and he was not at home, so he did not get involved in this Yin-Li dispute. Although he didn't know that this was Wang Fulin's deliberate doing, or it was a coincidence, but Wang Fulin did not get involved in this infighting in the slightest afterwards, and he was still quite satisfied with Wang Fulin's attitude.

Kedao obeys the orders of the powerful, which has always been his most disgusting atmosphere, and now the little emperor is pro-government, but he still seems to understand the major affairs of government affairs, except that he acts on behalf of the emperor, can make Kedao obey orders, and others are overstepping their authority to do so!

And the party has lost Wang Daokun and Xu Guo, if Wang Fulin has no other heart, he will definitely try his best to help Yin Zhengmao and step on Li Youzi, but Wang Fulin did not do this, which shows that he has no intention of forming a party, and he is not wrong.

On the day Yin Zhengmao left Beijing, it was pouring heavy rain in Beijing. For Yin Zhengmao, who has always been superstitious, this is naturally the worst omen. As a high-ranking official of Zhishi, he can enjoy the treatment of galloping back to his hometown, and the date of departure has already been set, so he did not wait any longer, but saw that the rain was a little lighter, so he took his family to prepare to set off.

Before he was appointed as the head of the household department, he had always been an official outside, and unlike Zhang Juzheng, who could enjoy the treatment of the imperial mansion, this house was bought when he was promoted to the head of the household department. The former owner of the house was Yang Bo, a minister from Puzhou, and the previous owner was a certain squire of Zhishi, and he is now about to enter the ranks of Zhishi. Now that he is gone, he does not plan to keep this mansion.

Although Zhang Juzheng's intention seems to be to leave him leeway, lest some people think that he still wants to make a comeback, he still holds on to his shortcomings after returning to his hometown, he has instructed the remaining steward Xu before, disposed of the mansion and those furniture and then returned to the hometown with money, and the price is slightly lower, it doesn't matter, when he received it from the previous master, the three-way three-entry house only cost 15,000 taels. Now that he has sold it for cash, he can also make up for his huge expenses in the past few years as a household secretary in the capital.

After all, there are always all kinds of regular money in the governor's office, but it is completely different from when the book has to pay upside down!

However, what he didn't expect at all was that before he left, the buyers who had already made an appointment to see the house had already come to the door.

Seeing the two young men holding umbrellas, Yin Zhengmao in the carriage was angry and hateful, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this? ”

The rain fell down the edge of the tarpaulin umbrella like a waterfall, and the sound of splashing water drowned out a lot of people's words. Wang Fulin took a few steps forward with an umbrella, and then said with a smile: "In the inner city of Beijing, it is really not easy to find such a neat mansion suitable for first- and second-grade high-ranking officials, and Mr. Shi Ting is getting rid of it now, and when he wants to buy it back in the future, it will be even more difficult." Moreover, the two little sons seem to be thirteen or fourteen this year, and they will go to school soon, and they may be in prison in the future, maybe there will be a time when they can be used here. ”

Wang Fulin did not say that Yin Zhengmao himself could recover, only said that Yin Zhengmao's two grandsons, seeing the other party's expression, were stunned, and then they were silent, he knew that Yin Zhengmao understood what he meant, and immediately smiled: "I bought this house with Jinhua, and after renovating and renovating it, I will rebuild one of the roads all the way, and it can be used for the tribute and eunuch of She County in the future, as well as the gathering of the examiners, which can also be regarded as a merit of Mr. Shi Ting." After all, although the Xin'an Hall in the outer city is good, there are also people who don't like that environment. ”

Yin Zhengmao looked at Wang Fulin again, and the anger just now gradually disappeared, replaced by a little regret. In the end, he still underestimated this rising star, he forgot that Zhang Juzheng looked at people differently, such as Chen Qiang and Wang Zhang, the backbone of the Zhang Party, and they still appreciate Wang Fulin, he is not only a fellow villager, but also an old friend, how can he get closer to Wang Fulin after Wang Daokun leaves!

"You have a heart."

Cheng Naixuan seemed to have no heart or lungs, but when he heard Yin Zhengmao's words, he still heard a little tiredness, so he stepped forward with an umbrella and said something in Wang Fulin's tone with a smile, which was to the effect that he was nothing more than praising the younger generations of the Yin family. Of course, in addition to buying the Yin family's mansion, he and Wang Fulin also gave one hundred and two Cheng Yi.

Don't look at Yin Zhengmao is galloping all the way back to his hometown, but now that Zhang Juzheng is rectifying the post station, all kinds of expenses must be strictly listed, he is Zhishi going home, and it is easier to be caught. And such a large number of people return to their hometowns together, although the cost of two hundred taels cannot be said to be more than enough, as long as they save a little, it is completely enough. After all, although the Yin family was once rich, it is now far inferior to Wang Cheng and Xu's three families.

The affairs of the mansion in front have already accepted the kindness of Wang Cheng and the others, and Yin Zhengmao did not push out such a small amount of money as Cheng Yi. At the time of parting, the former head of the household hesitated for a moment, and suddenly ordered the entourage to stay away, and even the coachman retreated, only calling Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan to the front. In the midst of this uproar and rain, he said in a deep voice: "Recently, there have been many rumors in the capital that the previous Liaodong victory was greasy, and Yuanfu wanted to cover it, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to be good in the end." However, Liaodong is inseparable from Li Chengliang, if the two of you are selected to go to Liaodong, you must remember, at least Li Chengliang must be picked out. ”

Wang Fulin was fine, but Cheng Naixuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Fulin, followed by Fang Cai and nodded at Yin Zhengmao, and then thanked him again and again. When the people of the Yin family started to set off, the two carriages were followed by three frame cars covered with tarpaulins, and eight sturdy entourages, he couldn't help but touch his nose and muttered: "Anyway, it used to be a household book, so it won't be just a little bit of a person to go back to Huizhou, right?" ”

"Do you understand low-key?" Wang Fulin said Cheng Naixuan speechless with a few words, and when he saw the steward Xu at the door of the house trotting up, he immediately said with a smile, "Steward Xu, the price of the house is according to the original price when you bought it, and I won't press you at all." As for the silver, of course, you don't need to send it all the way over, just let your lord withdraw it directly in Huizhou. I'm going to continue to hand over this house to you to look at, what do you think? ”

Thousands of miles to send money back, even if it is a silver ticket, Steward Xu also knows that it is not safe, not to mention that Huizhou is not like Jingshi, Yin Zhengmao lives in the countryside, he will definitely not have any oil and water, and stay in Beijing, and build a bridge with Wang Fu Lin Cheng Naixuan, the two rising stars of Huizhou, maybe it can make the master look at it differently. Thinking about Yin Zhengmao's attitude towards the two of them just now, he immediately responded with a smile on his face: "Wang Gongzi and Cheng Gongzi are kind, how dare the little one not accept it?" Do you want to see this house now, or do you want to ......?"

"If you don't look at it, will the dignified mansion be bad?" Wang Fulin smiled and waved his hand, and said indifferently, "I'll call someone to sign the deed with you another day, and just go to the Yahu House of Shuntian Mansion to make the settlement." ”

A big deal of more than 10,000 taels, Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan actually finalized it in one go, and they didn't even look at the house, and Steward Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly. When the two got into the carriage and left together in the rain, several retinues in robes and reeds followed, and even in the rain, their backs were straight, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the end, the people who opened so many dart bureaus in the southeast, compared to those who had fought in the war, Wang Fulin and these people were not bad at all! (To be continued.) )
