Chapter 816: A Road to the Dark

In the dimly lit study, an old man sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, his thin and haggard face, and a pair of eyes that had lost their former brilliance. Even when he heard the sound of pushing the door in, he didn't look up, but when the footsteps had reached him, he laughed: "I thought you would leave when you saw Hei Xiu, why did you want to see me?" ”

"I was going to take advantage of the fact that it was already dark and quietly walked through the side door, but I was a little worried, so I came over to take a look." Wang Fulin said this, but his eyes glanced at the book case that was piled up in a mess over there, obviously not cleaned up for a long time, and then said carefully, "At this time, does Yuanfu feel that the whole world is the enemy?" ”

"The whole world is the enemy...... The enemy of the world! Hahahaha, yes, these four words are really incisive, and I am in such a situation right now! ”

After laughing, Zhang Juzheng lowered his eyelids and said: "I have been parting with my father for nineteen years, no matter what the reason, I should immediately mourn and abide by the system." But you know, that is, I took those ten days of sick leave before I got the mourning report, what is the situation in the DPRK? Hehe, it's not an exaggeration to say that the demons are dancing! Moreover, you also said that some people imitated the high arch tone to write that I conspired to abuse power, etc., and this is the case when I am still in the court, and if I leave here, I don't know how much dirty water will be splashed on it! ”

Hearing this, Wang Fulin was quite unimpressed, although the mess he made up was full of flaws, but in the original manuscript of the high arch, Zhang Juzheng's collusion with Feng Bao was clearly detailed, and Zhang Juzheng was not wronged, and this first assistant really couldn't talk about anything above board......

"In the past, I just wanted to take everything slowly, and not rush it. When I was less than 50 years old, I became the first assistant, and some time was time to implement my ideas, and some time was time to teach the emperor to become a holy king. As for those who disagree with me, they can either leave or go to the local government, as long as they don't attack impeachment meaninglessly, and I still have the amount of room to do so. But now I know that even if it was someone who seemed close to me in the past, when I was in trouble, he wanted to chase me away! Wang Xijue...... Heh, he's not the first, and he's not the last! ”

"When those pavilion elders were robbed of love in the early days of the dynasty, how could there be this seemingly turbulent public opinion now? Even the emperor said, how can the safety of the country be compared with the ordinary Golden Revolution? But in the eyes of those people, filial piety is greater than loyalty...... Scholars have always been worried about the system, that is, in the first few months, they really guarded the tomb and made a look, but after that, how many of them really lived in a house and sincerely mourned for it? Isn't it still going to visit relatives and friends, or even participating in poetry societies and literary meetings outside, is this very mournful? How many people make an appearance, just to flaunt the reputation of filial piety, and now they are still righteous and awe-inspiring to accuse me! ”

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Juzheng had some things to say, and he would never say them to Zhang Sixiu's son; And although he and Feng Bao are allies, they rarely move around on weekdays to avoid suspicion, so it is naturally impossible for them to vent their anger like this; And Yin Zhengmao, a high-ranking official such as a Shangshu, because Zhang Juzheng was promoted by himself, refused to show such a posture; As for the other Kedao and other low-grade officials who are attached to his wings, Zhang Juzheng will definitely not show any words. Therefore, he sent it to the door now, purely to send this Shousuke a trash can that can be poured out. So, he sat there very patiently until Zhang Juzheng finally got tired of scolding.

It was only at this time that he owed a debt and said: "Just now I made amends with Second Brother Zhang, because the incident happened suddenly, I had nothing to do, so I took Wang Jiguang over the wall, and asked Yuan Fu to forgive." ”

Zhang Juzheng had heard the movement outside before, but it was not until this time that he knew that Wang Fulin had come in over the wall! Rao has been an official for decades, and he has never seen such a court official, so he can't cry or laugh at this time. But the next moment, Wang Fulin said a few words with a hippie smile.

"It's Yuanfu's study, it's really in a too remote place in the house, and there is a wall outside it, it's too negligent, what if it's not me who climbs the wall today? You must know that when someone snooped on my house, they thought that I had killed two porters with a big stick, wasn't it because the courtyard was between the neighbors? I just told Second Brother Zhang that I used to see Jinyiwei, but I haven't been there for the past few days, and I don't know if it's because I'm afraid that the hundred officials will talk more about right and wrong. ”

Who is Zhang Juzheng? Wang Fulin drew inferences from one another, how could he still have a reason why he couldn't taste it? Although he did not go to the early dynasty this morning, and Zhang Sixiu was also at home to accompany him, his own cronies sent a letter to the early dynasty. He would never think that Feng Bao sent the factory guards to put up such a battle in front of the Imperial Gate, but only used the court staff to intimidate and deter those civil officials, he could guess that Feng Bao was only afraid that he would turn a deaf ear to his suggestion, and he really planned to use the court staff! As for why he suddenly changed his mind, it is estimated that something went wrong on the little emperor's side. And now that the brocade guards around his house have been removed, it can be imagined.

Feng Bao is telling himself who can rely on trust!

Wang Fulin knew what he had to do, and the news he should have brought was also brought, and after listening to Zhang Juzheng's big garbage talk, it was time to leave. But just as he got up to leave, Zhang Juzheng suddenly pointed to the table and said in a deep voice: "This is what I figured out, and you can take a look at what I plan to do in the next few years." ”

For such an errand that would have been considered an honor as long as he was a close confidant, Wang Fulin opened his mouth and was quite stunned, and when he hesitated, he found out the key ones from the messy scraps of paper on the table, and he glanced at the first one and almost wanted to smash his own head - needless to say, this is the most hated and criticized one of the many things Zhang Juzheng has done - to re-measure the land!

He browsed a series of detailed rules three times and divided them by two, and hurriedly went to look at the others, only to find that the second one was a gradual ban on private learning in the world. Wang Fulin, who was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, continued to see the expected measure of gradually extending the whip that had been implemented in several places in the southeast to the whole country. As for the bits and pieces of rules that followed, they couldn't surprise him. This is a bold investigation of maladministration on the one hand, and a clamp on the way of speech, and he is really preparing to go all the way to the dark!

Zhang Juzheng didn't pay much attention to what Wang Fulin looked at, until the person returned to him, but he didn't say a word, so he said lightly: "In the past, I still cherished my reputation after all, but now, anyway, in the eyes of many people, I am a scum who is greedy for position and forgets his relatives and ignores human ethics, so I have nothing to scruple about." After stabilizing the situation and returning to my hometown for burial, I will gradually implement all these rules and regulations. As for employing people, heh, those flies and mosquitoes that buzz endlessly all day long, they will either give me a good job in the local government and county, or they will give me a return to my hometown to retire! ”

It is really those who follow me to prosper, and those who oppose me die......

Wang Fulin has experienced it himself, and he can be regarded as having some understanding of Zhang Juzheng's mentality. Zhang Juzheng originally planned to pay attention to his reputation and be a famous first assistant while doing things, but since the matter of winning love has been hyped to such a height, and his face and reputation are completely gone, he simply tears his face and breaks the jar, forcefully or forcibly pushes what he wants to do, and no longer cares about the consequences!

He thought for a moment, and then said: "Actually, if there are still people who impeach each other about this matter in the future, the best way is not to use the court rod or to dismiss the official, but to directly leave those generous words behind. It's not that I, as a speech official, smear the speech official, some things, in fact, become more and more energetic the more I pay attention to them. ”

Speaking of this, he vaguely felt that Emperor Wanli had not been in court for decades, let alone what kind of mentality he had in reply. In addition to being angry, wouldn't it be a kind of happy revenge to let all those officials and officials stay in Ouchi, and let their impassioned and carefully concocted words and phrases go unnoticed? Anyway, even if you have a manuscript, but there is only a manuscript and no original, where did you become famous all over the world?

"Shiqing, although you are young, sometimes you speak to the point." Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said directly, "The old man who sees through the world is afraid that he is not as sharp as you!" Okay, you go back, and when I return to the cabinet in the next day, I will use you to preside over the Gyeonggi roll, and now you and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department will do a good job of the punishment first. ”

"Yes, then the official retired."

Wang Fulin couldn't wait to leave quickly, otherwise when Zhang Juzheng reacted, he would directly get those difficult things on the table and let him manage them, how terrible was that?

When Zhang Sixiu stayed alive and had a meal, Wang Fulin and Wang Jiguang came out of the side door of Zhang's mansion together, he took Wang Jiguang, who rode a mule, to another nearby alley for a circle, and saw from a distance that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had been preparing to patrol the night, and he said to Wang Jiguang, who was one step behind him and was obviously worried: "I want to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do my best in the future, and use my brains when I go to school, I will not encroach on the merits of my subordinates." If you don't want to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and stay up until the one-year trial period expires, I can also try to find you a position in the prefecture. Zishan, you can do it yourself. Let's go, I'll send you back. ”

Wang Jiguang knew that he was pitted by Wang Fulin today, but when he heard such a result, he couldn't wait to be pitted by Wang Fulin again. After all, after so many days in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has felt a lot of Wang Fulin's temper, so he is not very worried that Wang Fulin is casually using it to fool himself. Compared to finally getting the approval of this difficult boss, and even entering the Zhang Mansion in Dasha Hat Hutong - although it was over the wall - he didn't bother to think about the consequences of his inexplicable fight with Wang Xijue today.

I've beaten it all, what else can I do?

When Wang Fulin made a big circle to send Wang Jiguang back first, and then returned to his home, the moon had already risen high. The two porters, Wang Ji and Wang Xiang, one was leading the horse, and the other followed Wang Fulin and said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi came back late, and Huizhou sent a messenger over, just after Chen Xianggong went out. The little one heard the laughter inside, and Brother Bao also came. ”

Wang Fulin, who was slightly stunned at first, immediately didn't care about talking to the porter, nodded and then entered the second door like a gust of wind, and sure enough, he bumped into Jinbao head-on. Jinbao, who has always been a little shy, forgot to salute at all at this time, and grabbed his arm as soon as he stepped forward and said, "Dad, my mother gave birth to a big fat boy, and I said that I had six pounds!" ”

Wang Fulin was taken aback. You must know that this year is not like the future generations can have a caesarean section, and when the child is older, it means that the mother suffers, he hurriedly asked: "What about your mother, are you still safe?" ”

Jinbao had never seen Wang Fulin so flustered, and suddenly laughed: "Mother is fine." It's not that you don't know, she has always loved horseback riding, loves to practice martial arts, and has good muscles and bones, and is not like those ladies who refuse to take a single step. ”

When Wang Fulin heard this, he was already relieved. Knowing from Jinbao that Xiaobei still had a letter delivered, he didn't even bother to go back to the room, and tore it all the way away, and when he entered the house, the light was sufficient, and he didn't even have time to sit down, so he looked at the thick pile of letterheads one by one. Although there were family letters in the past, now they also include his wife's handwritten letters full of anxiety before giving birth, which naturally makes him feel a little more guilty. After all, in these days, when a woman has a child, and the husband is not around, how can he not worry about the worst possibility?

When he saw the last one, it was his father Wang Daoyun's handwriting, but he asked him to name the child, and he remembered that he still owed Jinbao a table, and immediately smiled bitterly. After pondering for a moment, he withdrew all the people who were waiting in the room, and then looked at Jinbao and said: "Don't say your brother's name, I promised to give you a table name before, and then let you officially worship under the name of Master Xu. Don't be busy yet, I'm not done yet. ”

Wang Fulin never told Jinbao about the situation between the DPRK and China, but today he made an exception and started with his own experience after returning to Beijing. Among them, a very small part of it was heard by Jinbao from Xu Guoyi or other sources, but a large part was something that Jinbao never expected. Especially when he heard that Wang Fulin and Wang Daokun were fake, he was finally shocked and realized the extent of the danger.

actually wanted Wang Fulin to make such a decision, Wang Daokun even agreed!

"Daddy......"

"I can't get off the boat for a while, in the end, it's hard to ride a tiger. If I don't spell out Zhang Siwei, the third assistant, I'm afraid that I won't be able to live a stable life in the future. Therefore, I will find an opportunity to discuss your affairs with your teacher Master Xu in the future, and see when you will be allowed to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. You are already a person, even if something happens to me on the other day, as long as you are not my son, but a junior of the same clan, this official career will not be affected in any way......"

"Nope! I will not say yes! ”

Jinbao didn't seem to see Wang Fulin's face that froze suddenly, and changed to a solemn expression: "Uncle and grandfather are now returning to their hometown to recuperate because of advising Shoufu Ding to worry about the system, and my uncle and grandfather have also become officials, and the Wang family of Songmingshan has retained its vitality, as for me, I have received a lot of nurturing grace from my father for so many years, if I also deviate from you, father, what do you think Lord Shoufu will think of Songmingshan Wang, and what will others think of Songmingshan Wang's in the future?" It's good not to put all your eggs in one basket, but don't say that I can't get over this hurdle, even Master Xu won't approve of you doing this! Father, if you want to go all the way to the dark, you have to be accompanied by someone, right? ”
