In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, a large number of Jinshi were admitted, and the first, second, and third grades were added together, with a total of 394 people. Among the nearly 400 people, through the selection of the museum, 28 Shujishi were finally selected. At that time, the teacher was supposed to be Grohe, but Grohe happened to be promoted, so Chen Yiqin served as the teacher. But whether it is Gao Yi or Chen Yiqin, they are all people who have been pavilion elders in the future.

This is also one of the benefits of the Cabinet Elder, in addition to being the elder of the pavilion, there will also be a future elder as a teacher, that is, the pavilion teacher. For example, Xu Jie, is not Zhang Juzheng's teacher, but a museum master.

Xu Guo was the top three jinshi that year, passed the museum selection examination in the Shu Jishi, and after three years of disbanding, he became one of the twelve people who successfully stayed in the museum. Now, more than ten years later, among a large number of the same year, he has indeed made a name for himself, and his conduct is so good that almost no one can find anything wrong with him. But among the same group of Shujishi, there are people who are more favored by the Son of Heaven than him. That was Chen Jingbang and He Yuwen, who were ranked in the second place at that time. When the two first stayed in the museum, they were given the editing and revision, which was one level higher than Xu Guo, who was awarded the review. Chen Jingbang returned to his hometown a year ago because of Ding Wei's fake gallop, but He Yuwen was serving as a Japanese lecturer, and he also participated in the revision of the canon, but he was even more popular than Xu Guo.

Therefore, many people are talking in private that the reason why Xu Guo suddenly became the southern supervisor of the sacrificial wine is because if he doesn't let it out, then the head of the Hanlin Academy will still have to fight, and it is difficult to say who will be the flower. And when he leaves, He Yuwen is ironclad enough to take over the Hanlin Academy, and because he is a Japanese lecturer, he is by the emperor's side day and night, and it is more likely that he will enter the cabinet in the future.

What's more, He Yuwen is a close confidant of Zhang Juzheng, and his personal relationship is very good. Thinking that Xu Guo's daughter-in-law and Wang Fulin's wife, who is deeply valued by Zhang Juzheng, seem to be sisters, I don't know how many people secretly feel sorry for Xu Guo. Why don't you go to Zhang Juzheng's door? In this case, it may not be the southern priest's sacrificial wine, but the northern celebrity's sacrificial wine!

But the person involved, Xu Guo, seemed to be in a good mood. He coped with all the congratulations, whether genuine or fake, or in jokes. That night, the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy invited him together, and when he returned home with a little drunkenness, he heard the door say that his son-in-law Cheng Naixuan and Wang Fulin were coming together, all with their wives. Now the sisters and sisters-in-law are accompanying his wife in the room, and Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan are in his study. He thought about it, didn't change out of his coat, and went straight to the study.

Before he arrived at the door of the study, he saw Cheng Naixuan's closest confidant Mo Xiang guarding the door, and heard Cheng Naixuan's voice coming from inside: "My father-in-law successfully took this step from five to four grades this time, and he led the southern supervisor to sacrifice wine, some people say that it is equivalent to a four-grade shortage to send out Beijing, which is equivalent to vacating the seat for He Yuwen, but they don't want to think about it, as long as the father-in-law does not have a major problem with the sacrificial wine, he will make a transition in Nanjing Taichang Temple or Honglu Temple Qing at that time, and then transfer back to the Zhan Shifu to wait for the vacancy of the Ministry of Rites. This is the standard way of the minister, where did he really lose to He Yuwen? After all, isn't it the original ranking difference? ”

Having said that, Cheng Naixuan quickly showed a little frustration: "The second and third are really different? Two years ago, my father-in-law and He Ruowen took the Shuntianfu Township Examination together, and at that time, my father-in-law was the deputy chief examiner, and He Ruowen was the main examiner. If you want to talk about scriptures and historical articles, what point is He Yuwen comparable to his father-in-law? If the father-in-law ordered the Beijian sacrificial wine, it would be good, and he could take care of Xiao Wu and Xiao Chen. ”

"It's just a prisoner, what care do you need, I'm not afraid of them being bullied, what are you worried about? Bachelor Xu is a native of Nanzhili, but he can preside over the Nanjian, no one cares about such an appointment, no one thinks he will be a little unfair, don't you think it is the biggest praise for Bachelor Xu? ”

Even though Xu Guo has always been an extremely introverted person, when he heard Wang Fulin's words, his mood couldn't help but be high-pitched, and when he pushed the door in, he smiled and said: "Talking about people behind your back, this is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Cheng Naixuan hurriedly stood up with Wang Fulin, and called his father-in-law respectfully, but Wang Fulin was as always, still calling him Xu Bachelor. When Xu Guo took a seat, Cheng Naixuan's son-in-law went out and called the scholar to make tea again, and he personally held it in front of his father-in-law, and then said flatteringly: "I only dared to say what I said at home, and I didn't dare to mention it in the Liuke Corridor." ”

"I went to the South Prison, which is not a good thing for you and Shiqing. You don't have any elders, relatives and friends in Beijing, so you will have to rely on yourself in the future. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing to be able to avoid the current maelstrom between the DPRK and China for the time being. Xu Guo glanced at Wang Fulin as he spoke, and when he saw that he nodded approvingly, he continued, "What's more, Southeast Shilin has always been the backbone of the world's Shilin, even if the current Southern Prison has long been rotten to the roots, but as long as you twist it a little and pick out a few more seedlings to support one or two, you can get a lot of praise." ”

Cheng Naixuan has always been as honest in front of his father-in-law as he is in front of his father, and he nodded hurriedly at this time. Thinking of the situation mentioned when Feng Bao came to see him in person before, he didn't dare to ask his father for verification, but now that Xu Guo is going south, and Yangzhou is a necessary place, he has to ask Xu Guo to bring a letter to his father for him. Such a trivial matter, of course, Xu Guo agreed with his mouth.

After a relatively relaxed gossip, Xu Guo took another sip of tea, and then spoke again: "Brother Nanming returned to his hometown after illness, I will go to Nanjian, and there will be only Yin Shiting left in the court." He is a person with a strong sense of utilitarianism, and he often has to pick people from official positions when intersecting with people, Shiqing, you only need to look at your uncle's attitude before and after he goes, and you can see it. Now although you are quite trusted in front of Yuanfu, he is a scholar, you are the imperial history, the difference in grade is too far, unlike in the past, there was your uncle, the squire of the military department, in the middle of the contact, except for the New Year's holidays, you have no contact, I am not wrong? ”

Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile: "Master Xu's eyes are like torches. Yin Butang is indeed a snob. ”

"Yuan Fu originally planned to let Zhang Xueyan take over the military department, but Fang was on the same level as Wang Chonggu at the time, and if he took people out without a bad pool, it would inevitably cause more controversy. And the secretary of the Criminal Department has just been changed from Wu Baipeng to Yan Qing, this position could have been reserved for Zhang Xueyan, but Zhang Xueyan would rather take care of Rong Zheng than go to the Criminal Department to transition, and his mood can be imagined. And Yin Shiting did not have much success in the household department, and the emperor was snubbed because he advised the emperor to purchase jewelry, but he got the praise of the old lady of Cisheng through Yuan Fu. ”

Although Wang Fulin was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and felt that he was already a very well-informed person, Yin Zhengmao had received the praise of the Empress Dowager Li, and it was the first time he had heard of it. Cheng Naixuan, who was in the Sixth Science Corridor, also heard the news for the first time, and couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed: "Father-in-law, where did you get this news?" Shuangmu and I are called Kedao, and we have never heard of this wind. ”

Moreover, Xu Guo has never been a tongue chewer!

Wang Fulin knew that Xu Guo had been immersed in the Hanlin Academy for thirteen years, and in addition to his good articles, good knowledge and good reputation, he must have accumulated great contacts and news channels. Among them, it is impossible for Xu Guo to entrust his connections to Cheng Naixuan, this is not to help people but to harm people, and it is impossible for the news channel to be completely handed over to Cheng Naixuan, because it is easy to be exposed. But before leaving, it is a must.

"The Queen Mother rewards the minister, if this kind of thing comes out, what will it look like? Yin Shiting sent a blanket of goose down to Yuanfu, and Yuanfu borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and dedicated it to the old lady of Cisheng, but it was clearly stated that it was Yin Shiting. Compared with the mattress of silk cotton or cotton animal skin wadding, this goose down mattress is light and warm, so it was used from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, and the old lady of Cisheng was full of praise, of course, only mentioned to the steward of Cining Palace around her. Speaking of this, Xu Guo's face showed a bit of ridicule, "Li Youzi is well-informed, after he heard about it, he also sent Yuan Fu a precious fabric, hoping that Yuan Fu would also come to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but he miscalculated." ”

Seeing Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan looking at each other, Xu Guocai looked at Wang Fulin and asked, "Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Yin Shiting have been fighting secretly for a long time, don't you know?" Before Nanjing, Zhan Yi and others impeached Yin Shiting in the matter, and he instigated it. ”

"I've heard a little rumor...... Wang Fulin thought that Yin Zhengmao had even given gifts to You Qi at the beginning, and it would be even less burdensome to give gifts to Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't expect Li Youzi to look at Yin Zhengmao like this, and he actually followed suit, and he couldn't laugh or cry. He quickly realized that Xu Guo mentioned this, but he was afraid that it was not to show off that he was well-informed, and his mind flashed with inspiration.

"Could it be that Master Xu thinks that Yin Butang's position is not very stable?"

"The party has gone to the second, and there is only one Yin Shiting left, and his position is not so solid. You and Jinhua should both remember, how many times have Yin Shiting asked for resignation in the past six months? ”

"Three or four times...... But it has always been common for the elders of the pavilion or the book to resign after being impeached. Cheng Naixuan has seen a lot of this kind of retreat as a means of advancement, and he didn't pay attention to it at all before, but Wang Fulin said this, and his father-in-law made it so clear, he couldn't help but feel a little toothache, "But if Yin Butang also goes to the position, wouldn't our She County be a little miserable?" Zhang Siwei is still in his seat. ”

"No, Zhang Siwei sold Wang Chonggu before, he suffered a heavy setback this time, the Puzhou Party has already plummeted, in contrast, except for the uncle's illness, Yin Butang and Xu Bachelor are still in the seat, Xu Bachelor is just out this time, not a denunciation, if Yin Butang is still there, and it is quite heavy, plus our two branches, but it is going to beat Zhang Siwei. And if Yin Butang really retreats, Shexian will no longer be conspicuous. ”

When Wang Fulin said this, he thought that it was impossible for him to meet Yin Zhengmao because of this, otherwise people would definitely think that he was trying to fulfill himself, and he did not hesitate to pit his fellow villagers! This is different from the last time I went to see you because of You Qi's matter, Yin Zhengmao's request to retire is obviously just a show, it is by no means sincere, and it happens to be rewarded by the Empress Dowager Li, where is he willing to give way?

But more importantly, he completely understood why Xu Guo was transferred to Nanjing, but he felt happy. In this way, the little momentum of the party before it has disappeared!

And Zhang Siwei was highlighted again!

Xu Guo saw that Wang Fulin understood, so he wisely stopped the topic. After talking for a while, seeing that Wang Fulin was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable to retire first, and called Xiaobei in the inner house to go home together, he said to Cheng Naixuan, who was a little stunned: "Jinhua, you were in the process of giving things before, in all fairness, I was very worried, but in the past year, you know that you are clumsy, even if you help Wang Shiqing, you are not as sharp and aggressive as him, so I am a little relieved." Like Wang Shiqing, you are afraid that it is impossible to easily break away from the Six Branches Corridor, remember that as a speech official, although you can't say nothing, you can't fire guns at every turn. ”

"Father-in-law......"

"Listen to me, you and Wang Shiqing are good friends, but the Tao is different, although you can't help but conspire with each other, you must not learn from him. He treats you as a friend, but never lets you go into battle, and that's what really thinks about you. You just lie dormant in the Liuke Corridor, don't feel wronged, you must know that the young phoenix does not sing, not because you can't, but because you don't want to, just waiting for a blockbuster in the future. Only by making people despise you will you listen more and get more opportunities. ”

Thinking that Feng Baodu came to instigate himself, wanting to arouse his competitiveness to compete with Wang Fulin, so as to join Feng Bao and fight for the future, Cheng Naixuan felt that his father-in-law's words were simply right. If he and Wang Fulin were so sharp and invincible, would Feng Bao be relieved to come to him? He and Wang Fulin can be regarded as having all entered the top two people today, and it can be said that he has really done a good job of confusing people.

"I have memorized my father-in-law's teachings."

After Wang Fulin returned home, he told Xiaobei what Xu Guo said without any reservations, but turned his head and did not mention Yin Zhengmao's matter, but solemnly proposed another thing - since Wang Erniang and his wife arrived in the capital, even if Wu Yingjie was going to Guozijian, there was still a little shortage of manpower at home, so buy a few more maids and servants to come in. Although since the renovation of the house, the family has to add people, but Xiaobei knew that Wang Fulin mentioned this at this time, and he had his own voice, and while agreeing, she couldn't help but hug Wang Fulin's arm.

From now on, even if you talk at home, it's not so safe!

"Don't be so pessimistic, infiltration and counter-infiltration, counter-strategy and counter-infiltration, good wife, you have the true inheritance of the Hu family and the Ye family, and you are afraid that you will not be able to deal with this?" Wang Fulin kissed his wife on the cheek as he spoke, and said in a low voice, "I'll leave this matter to you, I'll have to find a way to see what's going on between Yin Zhengmao and Li Youzi in the next few days." ”

"But if Yin Shangshu really returns to his hometown, you will have no high-ranking fellow villagers to rely on in the court. You have a grudge against Chen Sanmo, and other people don't have much to do with you......"

"You're wrong, isn't there still Motosuke? Moreover, just like the emperor likes to use lonely ministers, I don't need to be too popular with Yuanfu. Now that I have befriended Wang Shaofang, if everyone on the other side's side says that I am good, it will be too eye-catching and too fake. Everyone knows that my Wang Fulin's character has always been a cannon battle that explodes when a fire is lit! ”

"How can anyone say that about themselves." Xiaobei, who was originally in a heavy mood, couldn't help laughing, touched Wang Fulin's chin with a little beard and stubble, and then said softly, "It's just that Xiao Yun and her brother-in-law have just entered Beijing, you control it a little, don't make too much trouble and scare them." ”
