Although Zhang Juzheng only casually asked a few questions about Tan Lun's jokes, and then said such a few comments, but the cabinet is not as good as the private house of Zhangfu, and naturally no one in Zhangfu dares to spread the words of those masters, and even if the people in the Zhongshu House have received special education in secrecy, but those words that are not involved in military affairs will inevitably be passed on to their relatives and friends. In addition, Feng Bao, the current eunuch of the master of ceremonies, also has a private person in the cabinet, so the meeting between Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun with jokes after this official event quickly spread among all kinds of high-level people.

There is no doubt that this is Zhang Juzheng's attitude!

Therefore, when a certain hapless Cai stayed in the house and found that the captain of Jinyi had broken in, he was almost frightened. To a certain extent, scholars are the most rigid and relatable, but it depends on what kind of opponent they are facing and what kind of position they are in. The things that Master Cai did in the first half of his life were turned over one by one, so that when he packed up his bedding and left Beijing in embarrassment, the grievances in his heart were not to mention. In his opinion, it was just a few angry words outside, which provoked Jinyiwei, could it be that those two young men were not only Jinshi, but also some nobles?

And all kinds of discussions in the entire capital about the awarding of new scholars in the current branch also calmed down at once. As soon as there is a vacancy in the official position, the officials will assign people according to the rank of the new jinshi, some of them are fair and some are unfair, but they are similar to the previous ones, after all, the lineage of the Mendi family is originally the capital of the scholars.

After Wang Fulin sent away Cheng Naixuan, who was appointed as the commander of Anyang County, he continued to lock himself in the study of Wangfu to read the manuscript of the notes, guide Wang Wujing and Qiu Feng to deal with people, and at the same time deal with the old relatives and friends. But there are no more messy rumors.

In this calm atmosphere, Wang Fulin received a somewhat surprising letter. The letter was sent from Huizhou Mansion, from his father-in-law, Huining Dao Ye Junyao, and the content of the letter made him feel a little headache after reading it. It turned out that Ye Dacang had not completed the exam for three years this time. Because of his stable political performance, good official reputation, and quite good popularity, he was named to be promoted to the Ministry of Household and will serve as a member of the Fujian Division.

Don't look at the staff wailang is only from the fifth grade, and it looks like it is on par with the sub-patrol road, but after the transition of the six department members wailang, it is at least the prefect of the mansion again, or it is a high-level sub-guard road such as the political secretary participating in politics. And. In addition to many money and grain affairs of the Fujian Political Division, the Fujian Division also took charge of the Shuntian Mansion, in the Jingyan Mountain Left, Wu Xiang Left, Wu Xiang Right, Xiaoqi Right, Huben Right, Stay Behind, Wu Chengzhong, Maoling Eight Guards, the Five Army, Patrol, Warriors, and the Four Guards Battalions, as well as the seven mansions of Yongping, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, and Daming, Yanqing, Baoan, Daning, Wanquan, and the various guards under the jurisdiction of Beizhili. Yamaguchi, Yongying, Tongji warehouses. In other words, it sounds like it's just about Fujian. In fact, it also includes a whole Beizhili, Wai Jia Ning and Wanquan plus many guards in Changping, Jizhen!

And there is a huge Fujian Division, there is only one Langzhong, one Wailang, and four principals, two of whom were added after Xuande. It can be said that huge affairs are actually more dependent on scribes. Therefore, in Wang Fulin's opinion, it is really not easy for today's Beijing officials to be under the sword of the examination method, and Ye Dacang might as well finish this three-year patrol in a smooth manner.

But it's not up to him to have the final say in this kind of thing. Therefore, he could only ask Xiaobei to bring people to clean up the small house he vacated and rest for a while, and prepare Ye Dacang to live temporarily after entering Beijing. This time Ye Junyao is genuine on the road, because Ye Xiaopang has returned to his hometown of Ningbo and is ready to participate in the Taoist test, Mrs. Su is not at ease, so she took her young son Ye Mingtang to Ningbo first, Ye Mingyue has already married, Ye Junyao can naturally only be a light commander. While waiting for this father-in-law to go to Beijing, Xiaobei went to Shi Jianchun's wedding after attending the wedding of Shi Yuanchun, the daughter of the Shi family, and Miss Xu's pregnancy, she was even busier than Wang Fulin.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the capital had already cooled down with a cold wave. Thinking about it, it has been almost a year since he entered Beijing, and at first he thought that he would try the palace test at all, and the ranking was actually very good, but after that, there were many storms, and Wang Fulin always felt that his reputation as a disaster star was becoming more and more worthy of the name.

On this day, he was in Wang Daokun's study as usual, sorting out the various books on the shelves one by one. Since he used this place as a place to live during the day, there was no use of scholars here, and Wang Daokun, the owner, simply treated him as a scholar, and Wang Daokun himself did not stay here as long as he did.

When he removed a long sandalwood box with a brass lock and brushed off the dust with a feather duster, he didn't want the lid to pop open suddenly. Taken aback, he hurriedly reached out to close the lid, only to find that the copper lock had not been fastened before, so it would be opened as soon as he touched it. But just as he looked at the things inside, he couldn't help but slow down, but because he found that it was not a letter ruler, nor was it a rare ancient book, but a long sword, slightly shorter than an ordinary sword, about two and a half feet to touch, but the blade was shiny, but there were a few small gaps in the blade, which had obviously been used, and the owner also wiped and maintained it from time to time.

What is this? A souvenir of Wang Daokun when he fought against the Japanese in Fujian?

Wang Fulin wondered in his heart, but he quickly closed the lid and fastened the copper lock. Despite this, the sharp-eyed Wang Wujing still saw it, he immediately stood up, stepped forward and explained in a whisper: "It should be that after my father cleaned up last night, he forgot to lock it because he was happy because he got the confidence of Qi Dashuai over there in Jizhen." When my father was drunk once, I mentioned that the sword in the box was when my father was in Fujian, and Qi Dashuai found a famous craftsman to cast two swords, and asked my father to write a poem. Later, because they had worked together for a long time, and saw that the Japanese were raging and Fujian was devastated, Qi Dashuai gave his father one of them and agreed to wear it together. ”

Although he has long known that Qi Jiguang and Wang Daokun have a good relationship, and there are even poems and singing in the correspondence and this kind of literati often do, I think that when Qi Jiguang wanted to hide his private money, he was the first choice of Shexian, and sent someone to see Wang Daokun to entrust him, and he could hear this kind of old thing from Wang Wujing's mouth, Wang Fulin still had a wonderful feeling. However. Wang Wujing's words were only half of what he said.

"My father also agreed with Qi Dashuai that he would do his best to quell the rebellion in Fujian and live up to this sword. Later, his father Jiajing was impeached in the 45th year, and he was dismissed from the post of governor of Fujian and returned to his hometown. The two swords were reunited. Then Qi Dashuai guarded Jizhen Town, and after his father recovered, Longqing was a soldier in the sixth year of the military department to read the soldiers and horses of Jizhen Town, and he and Qi Dashuai joined the sword in Jimen. Father said that in the past two years, the Wuliangha people have often committed offences, so Qi Dashuai can't leave an inch, even if he is on the edge of Beijing, he can't enter Beijing, and he doesn't know the next time they meet and join the sword. When will it be. ”

Wang Fulin glanced at the box that was obviously rubbed so often that the lid was covered with grease and slippery, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart. He smiled and patted Wang Wujing's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Making friends like this, what more can you ask for?" Everyone often says that poetry and swords are romantic, since this dynasty, there are actually many such examples, if you can inherit your uncle Wen Taowu in the future. Remember to make a friend like Qi Dashuai! ”

After all, Wang Fulin couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. No matter how great the merit of the military generals. However, if the merit is high, it will definitely cover the master, and in the end, it is inevitable that the tiger will enter the sheng, and the overlord will remove his armor, and it is already the best ending to be able to die of old age in peace. And those who have a military strategy will have even fewer good endings, and they will even be regarded as an outlier by other civilian officials because of their brilliant military achievements. is frequently excluded, and even a generation of mental scholars like Wang Shouren is no exception. In the final analysis, it is not entirely because of party disputes, but because of the military achievements that are not comparable to ordinary political achievements, from kings to courtiers. All of them have firmly remembered the eight words, the merit is high, and the tail is not lost!

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qi Jiguang yet! I have only seen the old soldiers of Qi Liang brought out, I have only seen some old departments of the Zhejiang army that have fought under his command, I have only seen the head Zhong Nanfeng who regarded him as a military god and even wanted to go to Jiliao, and I only saw those letters sent by Qi Jiguang to Wang Daokun, and the calligraphy made him a little embarrassed, and the poems were also quite impressive.

However, one day in the next day, when Wang Fulin took Xiaobei to pick up people at the Zhangjiawan Canal Wharf in Tongzhou on time according to the time provided by the messenger, he found that his father-in-law Ye Junyao was accompanied by a person he didn't expect at all, and it was Qi Liang! This farewell is nearly a year, after the two sides were open for a while, Qi Liang said with a smile: "I haven't seen the handsome for a long time, since Ye observed that the capital took office, I wanted to go along the way, meet Wang Shilang first, and then go to Jizhen to meet the handsome, the brothers all asked me to say hello, and brought an early New Year's gift." ”

Ye Junyao looked at his little son-in-law, who was already like himself, and his satisfaction was speechless. And when he heard that Wang Fulin had even prepared a place for himself, he couldn't help but say that he had pulled someone into Beijing in the same mule cart. As for Qi Liang, although he had long been accustomed to the cold climate in the north after winter, he stayed in the south for a long time, so he sat in the car together. Of course, he used to be Qi Jiguang's confidant, but for so many years in She County, Wang Fulin and Ye Junyao entrusted him with more than eight secret things, so Ye Junyao did not avoid him at all.

"It is said that it was none other than Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, who recommended me. As you know, it is because of the foundation I laid in She County that she County has basically been able to collect all the summer taxes and autumn grains in the past two years. Of course, the most important thing is that you and Cheng Naixuan's righteous shop, every time the grain is harvested, the price of grain is often even, and the people don't have to worry about selling grain cheaply for silver money to pay taxes, although there are still arrears, but it is much better than before. In the past two years, Yidian has fed back to the countryside, and good things such as building roads and bridges and canals have been done, so Huizhou Mansion is quite peaceful. But the petition that Shuai Jiamo submitted to the government when he came back before made a lot of trouble......"

Ye Junyao introduced some of the situation in Huizhou Mansion to Wang Fulin, who had been away from his hometown for almost a year, and then said with some hesitation: "Fulin, although I have been quite familiar with local government affairs in recent years, I am really blind to the household department...... No, Wang Shilang, he used to spend some time in the household department, and he can give me at least a few suggestions. ”

Wang Daokun used to be the head of the Jiangxi Division of the Ministry of Household for a total of half a year...... It's pretty much the same when you ask him how to fight!

Wang Fulin muttered to himself, but a smile bloomed on his face: "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law has already prepared a good helper for you!" ”

Qi Liang on the side couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Ye Junyao's instantly happy face. And Xiaobei secretly sighed, his father-in-law is really too comfortable, and his son-in-law wants to be in front of everything! (To be continued......)
