"Hey, so you're all there?"

Seeing Wang Fulin walking out of the study and discovering his three brothers, he was smiling and grinning like this, Zhang Maoxiu finally couldn't help it. He strode forward www.biquge.info grabbed this guy's shoulders and dragged him in front of the eldest brother and second brother, and then lowered his voice and asked, "What kind of medicine is your kid selling in the gourd, and you actually say that kind of thing from your father?" ”

Zhang Sixiu saw that Zhang Jingxiu didn't pay much attention to Zhang Maoxiu's questioning of Wang Fulin, but instead raised his eyebrows and pondered there, he thought of the conversation he heard when he was guarding the door of the study before, and the conversation that was completely different from the level of vigilance, he finally realized something, and suddenly changed color, glared at Wang Fulin and shouted: "Is it possible that you and your father are acting?" ”

After all, people who have had an experience are not so easy to deceive!

Wang Fulin saw that Zhang Sixiu's voice was lower than Zhang Maoxiu's, just enough for the four of them to hear clearly, so he couldn't help but say, put his finger directly on his lips, and then said angrily: "Shhh, be quiet!" The three of you are guarding here, obviously not wanting outsiders to hear what I and Shousuke-sama are saying, but isn't it a clear leak that you are leaking secrets when you are so loud at this time? There's not much to say about this, as I said last time, the more you know, the easier it is to sleep badly, so why bother to get to the bottom of it? ”

Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help but stare at Wang Fulin angrily and annoyed, but they were a little shocked in their hearts. They listened to Wang Fulin's generous statement outside, and they already felt that their mood was complicated enough, if according to Zhang Sixiu's words, this was not the real content of Wang Fulin and Zhang Juzheng's conversation, they were still talking about something else, what did it mean? On behalf of this matter, which is now being discussed in the DPRK and China, as if everyone is paying attention to it, there is still a certain distance from the focus of Wang Fulin and Zhang Juzheng's real attention, and Zhang Juzheng can actually accept Wang Fulin's plan for dealing with Liaodong because of that more secret matter!

"Shiqing, we've known each other for so long, you're really ...... Reliable, that's really reliable, but it's just a special love to sell off! ”

Zhang Maoxiu made the most serious criticism of Wang Fulin on behalf of the two brothers, but after all, he still did not get to the bottom of it. He still held Wang Fulin's shoulders and said in a very familiar tone: "But my father has begun to cultivate our sons, you might as well believe us a little more in the future." ”

"I see." Wang Fulin smiled, and then nodded to Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Sixiu, "When I ask you for help in the future, don't be annoyed." ”

Having said that, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Fulin to talk to these chicks who have been under the wings of eagles for too long now for this kind of problem involving too high-level wrestling. That's right, although these three brothers are all older than him, compared to the one thing he has experienced, they are just flowers in a greenhouse.

When he returned to Mrs. Zhao's side to resign, and picked up Xiaobei, when he left the bustling during the day, but now quiet down at the same time, he didn't ride a horse, but sat in the carriage He couldn't help but hold his wife's hand tightly, his palms were cold, but he was a little sweaty.

Xiaobei knew that it was a cold sweat that came out of nervousness, and he knew that Wang Fulin had really gambled a lot this time. Not to mention anything else, if Zhang Juzheng chose to go directly to the Empress Dowager Li after seeing the warrant, or to tell Feng Bao, then as long as any of the three went to communicate with Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, then it would be Wang Fulin who would be sold.

No matter how much trust Zhang Juzheng had in the past, as long as the incident leaked, Wang Fulin would die without a place to be buried. It can be said that Cheng Naixuan and Li Yaoqing, who are still in the dark, would have to be scattered if they knew that Wang Fulin had chosen such the riskiest path.

However, it wasn't until he went home and entered the house that all the idle people were gone, and Wang Fulin said the first sentence since he came out of Zhangfu in Dashahat Hutong: "Do you think I'm playing too much this time?" If you're a little careless, maybe even you, your father, and our son will be put in together. ”

"All I know is that this is your deliberate gamble. As the closest and only known accomplice, if there really is anything in case, it is just life and death? Xiaobei found that Wang Fulin was still holding her hand tightly and did not let go, so she said in a very calm tone, "But I think you are sure." Otherwise, why don't you send a letter home and let your parents and children avoid it for the time being? ”

"Hehe, the husband is not a wife." Wang Fulin laughed, and finally relaxed.

"The emperor is already jealous of Yuanfu and intends to seize power. Motosuke has also fully realized this through me. Although Yuan Fu is an extremely strong person, you can see it from watching him deal with political enemies, but there are so many first assistants before and after the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that there are also people who have great power, such as Yan Song, but in essence, he is only acting for the imperial power, as long as the holy will is reversed, then even if the power is monstrous, it will collapse overnight. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had no real meaning of the ministers in the past, because in my opinion, the biggest sign of the ministers is not that they are above ten thousand people under one person, but that they can suppress the emperor. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Fulin paused slightly, and his voice was a little lower: "In this sense, Yuanfu is the first, the first powerful minister since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. And when the same young lord ascended the throne, Yingzong and Wuzong, there were no powerful ministers who could suppress the emperor at the civil level, and some were only eunuchs like Wang Zhen and Liu Jin. Therefore, even if there are Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao in the palace who repeatedly purge the people around the emperor, but the emperor himself wants to read books and history, he will not think of Huo Guang and Wang Mang? And since Yuanfu knows that the emperor is encircling me, and Liu Shouyou of Jinyiwei is monitoring me, he will see today's handwritten letter again, so there is only one biggest possibility. ”

Xiaobei knew that what Wang Fulin wanted was not an answer, nor an echo, but just a listener to relieve pressure, so she did not speak, but sat there and listened quietly to her husband's talk.

"He will make concessions to the emperor's insistence first, and at the same time let me get closer to the emperor, get the emperor's appreciation and approval, and then take the opportunity to test the emperor's true reaction, including what he plans to do as a motosuke. Of course, at the same time, he will also hesitate, that is, distrust, for my character who is on both sides, just as I am for Guo Bao and Chen Liang of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfusi.

However, for a wise person like him, he will fully consider one point, that is, the emperor's entrapment of me before, even Feng Bao didn't notice it, but I told him, so at least from the current point of view, I am inclined to him. Otherwise, I just need to pass on the information of the Zhang family into the palace one by one with peace of mind, and then pretend to be a confidant in front of him, why take a big risk and make such a move? ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Fulin only felt that his mouth was dry. This is not just because he said a lot of words at this time, but because on Zhang Juzheng's side, all the tea he served was used by him to dip and write. But at this moment, a cup of tea with just the right temperature was brought to the side, knowing that it was Xiaobei, he took it and drank it in one goat without thinking about it, and then took a long breath.

"But after today, I'm afraid I'll have to be more cautious in front of Motosuke. The existence of double agents, if done well, can win the trust of both parties, but if they are not done well, they may be burned! ”

"I'm relieved that you're aware of that." Xiaobei's eyes narrowed with a smile, and then he took off the coat outside Wang Fulin, and then said softly, "Moreover, who is light and who is heavy on both sides, and what kind of trade-offs to make at critical moments, these are all very important, as long as you don't only see the surface scenery, but also notice the risks on the back, that's enough." ”

"For a person like me who can cause trouble, my daughter-in-law really has to have a very strong heart."

Wang Fulin smiled and took his wife into his arms, and his heart, which had been speeding up from yesterday to today, seemed to have regained some calm.

To be able to go back to more than 400 years ago, stirring up this huge storm one by one, and there are always people around him to support and help, what is there to be afraid of?

The next day, Cheng Naixuan, who got a message from Wang Fulin, sent his question book directly to the General Administration. Unlike Guangmao and An Jiuyu, he did not choose the way of making it public, but went to the Huiji Gate and directly handed over the transcript to the eunuch in charge of the gate, which was a more private way. Therefore, the title book was not sent to the General Administration, and the content would not have spread at the speed of light among the major yamen in the capital, but the Six Departments Corridor was located in the palace city, and the first to get the news after the copy of the Six Departments Corridor was issued.

Because of this, when Guangmao, the military department, saw the transcript of Cheng Naixuan's inscription in the matter, the first feeling was that the other party wanted to make peace with the mud between himself and An Jiuyu, but immediately after, his face changed. Because, compared to those Liaodong military generals who wanted to investigate Tao Chengyu exhaustively and clean up by the way, Cheng Naixuan actually stabbed the civil officials directly!

Cheng Naixuan didn't just start with this killing, but in addition to making a posture of wanting to investigate Tao Chengyu to the end, he accurately and ruthlessly directly arrested several bad deeds of Yuan Bi, the Taifu Temple Qing of Liaodong, and demanded that he be dismissed, but at the same time, he praised Zhang Chongzheng for guarding Dongning Dao in Liaohai, and praised Zhang Chongzheng for guarding Dongning Road in Liaohai, and held a trick of degrading one after another in addition to Tao Chengyu, which made him aware of a sign of danger.

Therefore, as Cheng Naixuan's direct boss in the military department, he simply called people in front of him, and did not shy away from throwing the transcript of the inscription in front of him.

"Can you explain what you mean by this?"

"It's literal." Cheng Naixuan was transferred from the household department to the military department, and he was not as convinced by Guangmao's boss as he was with Shi Yingyue, and with the trip to Liaodong with Guangmao, he deeply felt that this boss was condescending and there was no one next to him, so he naturally had a somewhat erected tone at this time. Seeing that Guangmao's pupils contracted suddenly, he laughed.

"Guangdu's previous recital, from Li Dashuai down, all of them blamed and even condemned Liaodong military generals, and shared the responsibility on each of them, with few fines and more demotion and demotion. In addition to Tao Chengyu's crime of killing and surrendering, it is indeed ironclad, but it is really overkill for others. In contrast, you didn't say a word about the civil officials who also wrote about the previous and whitewashed this great victory, you are really biased, right? ”

Without waiting for Guang Mao, whose complexion changed greatly, to sneer at each other, Cheng Dagongzi said in a very calm tone: "I know that you must say that the battle was fought by Tao Chengyu, and the people were also killed by Tao Chengyu, there is no reason to let those supervisors in Liaodong take responsibility, but in the same way, why do the people killed by Tao Chengyu have to involve Li Dashuai, the chief soldier?" As for Yuan Bi, I didn't say that it was because he said the most exaggerated and beautiful words when he wrote to Tao Chengyu for his success, but that he was corrupt, occupied people's land, and privately accepted local women as concubines, and he violated three laws and regulations of the imperial court in a row, and this kind of person is still kept, which is simply a shame! ”

Guangmao originally planned to call Cheng Naixuan over, and while questioning him face-to-face, he used his identity as a boss to beat him, but he didn't expect to be counterattacked by the first army, and it was difficult to ride a tiger when he boarded. However, just when he was cold and wanted to regain some face, a small official outside hurriedly shouted: "Guangdu, the emperor summoned you to the Wenhua Palace, saying that he would ask about Liaodong in person. ”

Hearing that it was the emperor who summoned him, Guangmao couldn't take care of Cheng Naixuan anymore, and immediately put the person back, and he hurriedly prepared. But when he walked out of the Sixth Science Corridor, he saw Cheng Naixuan's nasty face again, and he couldn't help his surprised expression anymore.

"The emperor also summoned me, why, don't you have to go to the emperor to summon me?"

Only then did he realize that he was dizzy. Cheng Naixuan and himself walked in Liaodong, all of them were ordered to go on an imperial errand, and there was absolutely no reason for him to go to Cheng Naixuan. But after thinking about this, on the way to the Wenhua Palace, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Sure enough, when he arrived in the Wenhua Palace, he saw Feng Bao standing beside Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, the head of the army, and Chen Ji, the imperial history of the left capital, in addition to that, there were only two people, he and Cheng Naixuan, and the hall was extremely empty.

Even Guangmao, who has one of the most seniorities in the Six Science Corridors, has no experience in showing up on such occasions - after all, the little emperor has just become married this year, even if he is married and pro-governmental, for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, it is already rare to meet with ministers alone, let alone in the Six Science Corridors? Even if it is a debriefing, it is the most common thing to submit a report, and in the past, being able to show the face of a group of people in front of the emperor was already the greatest courtesy of being a science and road.

Therefore, when he made his statement, there were inevitably a few small omissions. Even so, after speaking, he still felt that his performance was acceptable, and he bowed deeply again before retreating.

However, what he never expected was that it was not Cheng Naixuan who appeared next, but the momentum of the-for-tat confrontation was still excessive.

Chen Wei, who appeared on behalf of the Liaodong Patrol according to the Imperial History of An Jiuyu, actually refuted his suggestions in an all-round way according to the transcript of An Jiuyu, and his words were not ordinary harsh.

"Your Majesty, Guangmao wants to severely punish Tao Chengyu's crimes, the minister can understand that killing and surrendering is a big crime, and he should naturally be severely punished for his luck, but Liaodong is located in the northeast border, the Tatar **** invasion, almost never peaceful, Chahan'er is the sworn enemy of our dynasty for two hundred years, the so-called surrender, who knows if it is an expedient measure to surrender? There is naturally no pity for a mere Tao Chengyu, but after the previous Su Ning was escorted to Beijing, it turned out to be the treacherous conspiracy of the Taining Wei leader Su Jianghai, so if the news of punishing Tao Chengyu spread, wouldn't it be that the prisoners outside the Guanwai applauded, and the military prestige of Liaodong was lost?
