Chapter 931: A Compromise Deal
Wang Fulin's expression changed, and Zhang Taizheng certainly saw it in his eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info realized that Wang Fulin probably hadn't gotten the news from the palace yet, and he was secretly glad that he invited Zhang Siwei home as soon as he got the news, and after discussing with him, he went to Wang's mansion to perform this good show. He coughed lightly, and waited for Wang Fulin to recover his previous appearance as if nothing had happened, not curious, not asking, but he did not have the slightest frustration, and said incomprehensibly: "Wang Zhangdao knows that today the emperor said to his cronies that you are his henchman humerus." ”
knew that it was Zhu Yijun's pit emperor who did a good deed!
Compared with the moment when he heard that Zhang Siwei was going to release his suspicions with himself, Wang Fulin's mood was extremely stable at this time. Can he not be calm? Liu Shouyou scolded Liu Baichuan and Guo Bao because of such news before, and now Zhang Sijiao threw out an almost identical news, thinking of Chen Liang today that Liu Shouyou had gone out once, but no one could follow him, and Liu Shouyou was more careful than the first time, and compared with Zhang Sijiao's visit at this time, then the truth was about to come out.
Liu Shouyou's person who went to the secret meeting before is likely to be Zhang Sijiao!
"Master Zhang, please continue."
Zhang Sijiao didn't expect Wang Fulin to be a little surprised that he came to talk and behave on behalf of Zhang Siwei, but at this time, when he heard that Zhu Yijun sold him backhandedly, his expression looked unwavering, and he was suddenly a little unsure of the other party's attitude. However, he agreed on several plans with Zhang Siwei before he came, and at this time, he planned to take out the first one to test it, and immediately said: "My brother is now the second assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor naturally regards Yuanfu's illness as a humerus, so he informed Wang Zhangdao about it to show his trust." Since the same palace is a minister, and it is just a grudge in the past, why not let go of the past suspicions and work together for the future? ”
Looking at Zhang Sijiao thoughtfully, Wang Fulin suddenly laughed: "Master Zhang San is really worthy of being a lotus flower, as far as I know, even if Zhang Ge Lao is the second assistant of the cabinet, if he wants to see the emperor, it is not an easy matter, right?" Not to mention, under the nose of Gonggong Feng, the celebrant supervisor, he can still enter the Qianqing Palace and hear his evaluation of me from the emperor's mouth. Master Zhang San, if you want to talk about peace, you should show the sincerity of talking about peace. You must know that not only the Zhang family has people around the emperor, but I also have people around the emperor. ”
Faced with such a straightforward domineering statement, Zhang Sijiao was suddenly choked and a little embarrassed. He has also seen a straightforward opponent in the mall, but Wang Fu Lin is a top three handler, and the Imperial History of Guangdong Dao in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, he is also so single-handed? He took a deep breath unnaturally, and then forced a smile: "Wang Zhangdao is really fast......
"That's right, I don't like to beat around the bush, Master Zhang, please be more direct. How about we spread it out and say that all the chips are on the table and are open? ”
Zhang Sijiao, who was interrupted, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said bluntly: "I know that it is difficult to write off the grudges between my brother and Wang Zhangdao, but the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, I believe that as long as the price can be paid, Wang Zhangdao should be able to abandon the previous suspicions and work together to overcome this danger." Now that Yuan Fu is seriously ill, the cabinet is nominally in charge of the vote, but in fact, Feng Bao withholds many of the questions submitted to the eunuchs of the Huijimen Guanmen in his own hands, and does not send them to the cabinet. Not only was the cabinet hollowed out, but the celebrant was also the one who did whatever he wanted! ”
Seeing that Wang Fulin showed a cautious expression this time, Zhang Sijiao continued: "Since you are on the emperor's side, you should know that the emperor is dissatisfied because Yuan Fu and Gonggong Feng are one outside and one inside, and they are actually monopolistic in power. Although you are capable, you can't do everything, for example, among the three remaining cabinet elders now, you are at odds with your brother, and Ma Ge is old, who are you friends with?
What's more, because of the affairs of Liaodong, you have already shown some signs of following the emperor in front of people, Yuanfu's illness, can others not be wary of you? You should have found out, what happened to Chen Wei, the imperial history of Zuodu, who used to be good to you, to you now? and your brother will release your suspicions, and you will have a new support. ”
Wang Fulin stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Sijiao not to say any more, and then asked with interest: "Master Zhang San doesn't need to analyze the situation for me, I don't dare to boast about anything else, my eyes are still very good, the situation is treacherous, I can naturally see it." You just need to tell me, what kind of sincerity does Elder Zhang Ge plan to show me, and what price to pay? At the same time, what does he want me to do, and what kind of assurances does he want me to give? ”
started talking about the conditions so quickly, although Zhang Sijiao was not used to it, he also knew that this was the key. He calmed down his ups and downs, and said word by word: "In the officialdom, my brother can give you a brighter thoroughfare than the current one." In the second year of Wanli, because Yuanfu was dissatisfied with the loss of his eldest son, coupled with the intention of repressing the Yuyao Sun family, he pressed it to the second class, and even did not hesitate to resign for this reason. Therefore, even if you are majestic and impressive now, you will be one of the Seven Secretaries in the future, and you will be at the top of the book or the imperial history of Zuodu. But there was a precedent in the past, that is, Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao. ”
"Is the master of the Hanlin Academy?" Wang Fulin immediately raised his eyebrows, thinking that Zhang Siwei really dared to promise. Emperor Jiajing is the Ming Dynasty after the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, a rare emperor who played the emperor's mind to perfection, reusing Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao because he wanted to use them to fight against Yang Tinghe and others, so in the spirit of must get people into the cabinet, this sent the two to the Hanlin Academy, but what was the result? Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao, who had made outstanding achievements in local politics, were looked down upon everywhere in the Hanlin Academy, and finally entered the cabinet to fight this and that, until all the people who should be fought down were defeated, and the historical mission was basically completed.
This is an ambitious person who wants to climb up, so he does not hesitate to stoop to become a pawn of the king. However, why did he Wang Fulin give Zhang Ju a pawn, isn't it because you Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu are too aggressive? Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice for a lazy person like me to eat and wait for death?
Zhang Sijiao thought that Wang Fulin would at least be excited, but what disappointed him again was that in the face of such a big bait, Wang Fulin still did not show excessive joy, but looked a little picky.
If Hanlin is not in the cabinet, does Wang Fulin know that this is enough to be ecstatic for ordinary Jinshi? People who have always been the head of the Hanlin Academy will be able to enter the cabinet nine times out of ten!
Finally, he waited for Wang Fulin to speak: "To be honest, Master Zhang San is indeed very sincere in citing the precedent of Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao, but Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao entered the Hanlin Academy, relying on the central purpose, so they have become the target of thousands of people, and I don't have their desperate ambition." Instead of learning from them, I might as well study Yang Yiqing, who didn't spend a day in the Hanlin Academy, but finally joined the cabinet as the first assistant. ”
Zhang Sijiao was relieved. I'm not afraid that you are ambitious, but I am afraid that you are not ambitious. Uncle is Wang Chonggu of the three sides of the mighty earthquake, he has always been dismissive of those civilian officials who are committed to military exploits, because he knows how much relationship is involved behind it, but at this time, his face is not revealed at all, he only said with a smile: "As long as Wang Zhangdao is willing to make meritorious contributions, these are naturally not a problem." Moreover, you are the emperor's favored minister, and although your brother is the second assistant of the cabinet, he may not be more favored than you, so what do you have to worry about? If you don't feel at ease, I can write on behalf of my brother as proof......"
"Forget it, Master Zhang San, your notes don't have that kind of value." Wang Fulin deliberately behaved arrogantly, and seeing that Zhang Sijiao was not angry, he continued: "What Master Zhang San said just now was officialdom, so that means that you can give me corresponding sincerity in other places?" ”
Saying the price as sincerity, Zhang Sijiao could only smile bitterly, however, Wang Fulin didn't want a word, he was still relieved in his heart, although there was some pain in his flesh at this time, but he still said very happily: "I have already decided to collect 100,000 yuan of Huai salt to attract surplus salt, according to every 200 catties of salt, you can take another 100 catties of surplus salt to calculate, this batch of surplus salt is 10 million catties, if the distribution is sold to the place with the highest price of Huguang salt, the profit is at least 500,000 taels." ”
Wang Fulin had to admire Zhang Sijiao's courage, however, this may also be a big pie drawn directly, and it can't be counted. But at this time, if he doesn't give a good reaction, Zhang Sijiao should brush his sleeves and leave. Therefore, his eyes widened slightly, and then he smiled to himself: "It is said that wealth is moving, and I have always felt that my concentration is very good, but like Master Zhang San, you are so generous, but it is really exciting." However, I Wang Fulin asked myself that although it is worth a little, it should not be worth 500,000 taels, after all, this is half of the net worth of those first-class families among the wealthy businessmen in Huizhou. Master Zhang San continued, what do you want me to do? ”
"It's very simple, you take the lead, take down Feng Bao!"
Zhang Sijiao did not suspect that Zhang Juzheng was a fake illness this time, because looking at Feng Bao's angry and devastated posture of taking power, he knew that Zhang Juzheng's health was really bad, and it was not Zhu Zongji who had always been used to see Zhang Juzheng. In contrast, Feng Bao, who has Dongchang in his hand and is deeply rooted in the palace, is precisely the most difficult to deal with. At this moment, he stared directly at Wang Fulin's eyes, for fear that the other party would take the case and issue an eviction order.
To his ecstatia, Wang Fulin only frowned a little annoyed. Knowing that there should be a drama in this most difficult matter, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Although Gonggong Feng is powerful, when ordinary factory guards face him, even if he is ordered, he may throw a mouse taboo, but as long as there is an official of Kedao to impeach, his seemingly impregnable defense line will collapse in an instant, after all, there is no Yuanfu to support him now, once he is attacked, it is impossible for him to launch Kedao through Yuanfu to protect him." ”
"Master Zhang San, you are wrong, right? You should know, when did Gonggong Feng rely on Yuan Fu to support him? Obviously, when he criticized the red, he never rejected Yuanfu, this is the truth. His real backer is not even the emperor, but the old lady of Cisheng. Even if it is the emperor, once the old lady of Cisheng rushes to the Qianqing Palace in anger, he will never dare to bear the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety. ”
After saying this, Wang Fulin clearly saw that a trace of murderous intent flashed on Zhang Sijiao's face. Although the murderous intent was quickly covered up very well, when he heard Zhang Sijiao's next answer, he still secretly gasped, thinking that it was no wonder that Liu Ying would almost die in the hands of the person next to him.
"Cisheng Lao Niangniang is the emperor's biological mother, one of the queen mothers of the two palaces, but her authority lies in the fact that the emperor is a filial son, and the emperor is willing to respect her, so naturally she can only let Cisheng Lao Niangniang clean the Qianqing Palace and remove the attendants around him. But once the emperor feels that Cisheng Lao Niangniang is hindering his pro-government, then it is not difficult to temporarily close Cining Palace while taking Feng Bao, isn't it? ”
"It seems that Zhang Ge Lao is really very determined." Hearing Zhang Siwei say this, Wang Fulin smiled, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "No wonder when I went out of Beijing to greet Mrs. Zhang Jiatai before, in addition to hearing the rumors of Qian Pu's sedan chair, I also heard the messy rumors of Cining Palace, I think Zhang Ge always intends to use this news as a killer weapon, right?" ”
Zhang Sijiao didn't expect Wang Fulin to speak so thoroughly, and he chuckled in his heart. Of course, he planned to take advantage of the ambiguous rumors between Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li, so that when the time came, whether Zhang Juzheng recovered or not, he could be put to death, and it could also prevent Empress Dowager Li from pointing fingers at her because she was the emperor's mother. You must know that the little emperor has been restrained by his mother from head to toe over the years, and the resentment in his heart is not trivial. What's more, there is another concubine in the palace, that is the Empress Dowager Rensheng! But this kind of thing can be done, but it can't be said!
Therefore, he had to immediately divert the topic and said: "In short, Wang Zhangdao You should know the purpose of Gonggong Feng's work, and you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one." If you let him know that you are bewitching the emperor, then no matter how much Yuansuke once trusted you in the past, he will do whatever it takes to eradicate you. And the impeachment of the eunuch, as long as you make this achievement, not only will it go down in history, but it will also make the emperor more trusted. At that time, are you still afraid that your brother will dare to do something to you? ”
This is a promise, but at the same time it is also a threat, and of course Wang Fulin understands it. Therefore, he did not continue to play tricks, but promised bluntly: "Okay, this matter is covered with me." ”
When Wang Fulin and Zhang Sijiao finally negotiated the conditions, and further took out the so-called Zhang Siwei's plan from this Zhang San master, he sent the person to Zhang Taizheng.
Zhang Taizheng, who had already untied the thorns and pulled out the thorns, had already been medicated on his chest, back and shoulders, but he still looked a little sluggish and distracted when he put on his clothes. Especially when Zhang Sijiao coldly ordered him to go back, he staggered out of Wang's mansion, only to feel that his clothes were rubbing against his body, not so much a pain in his heart, but an itch. But compared to these physical tortures, what is more painful for him is the inner torment.
Wang Fulin actually showed magnanimity, but his closest relatives were so indifferent, is this world crazy?
What he didn't expect was that when he walked to the door, Wang Fulin caught up with him, and he actually laughed and dragged his arm to the side. But this is like a best friend, and the words that come out of his mouth are not so good.
"Zhang Taizheng, you wanted to let the Wang clan of Songming Mountain open the ancestral hall to deal with me, but now, I'm afraid you have to think about it, you let the Puzhou Zhang clan lose such a big face, will your parents open the ancestral hall to deal with you after you go back! If I were you, I would not think about myself, but also for the sake of my wife and children at home! ”
Seeing that Zhang Taizheng's face turned pale all of a sudden, Wang Fulin said in a lower voice: "At this time, the closest relatives of flesh and blood may not be close relatives of flesh and blood, but may be enemies who hate you to the bone. But your former enemy may be able to make you live a little better, think about it yourself! I figured it out later, and let people come to me again. (To be continued.) )
