Wang Fulin deliberately mentioned Qianpu, the prefect of Zhending, just to see if Zhu Yijun had any reaction to this. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, even he really didn't expect that this little emperor, who had received imperial education since childhood, would be so uncontrollable, he just started up, Zhu Yijun took the bait so lightly and skillfully, and asked a sentence that a mature emperor should never ask.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun was not fully aware of it, but the faces of the several eunuchs standing on the side changed greatly. Even though it was in front of the Imperial Palace, which was supposed to be absolutely silent, there were still people coughing uncontrollably. In this suddenly silent room, such a voice suddenly sounded, which was naturally extremely harsh, but Zhu Yijun just sank his face and wanted to scold, but in an instant, the young man closed his mouth, but his eyes flashed with chagrin and anger, and his right hand, which was originally placed firmly on the armrest, was unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Obviously, Zhu Yijun has also noticed that he asked a stupid question.

"The emperor is right, it's that Qian Pu." Wang Fulin was the first to open his mouth to break the silence, and said as if nothing happened, "The minister has also heard the rumors outside before that he gave Yuan Fu the sedan chair. It is said that the living room of the sedan hall is separated, and it takes thirty-two people to be able to lift it, and in addition to Yuanfu, there is also room for the two children to serve inside. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became even more strange. Zhu Yijun regretted that he was too anxious to ask before, and even leaked that he had heard such a rumor from the eunuch below, but in an instant, Wang Fulin actually pierced this layer of window paper by himself, and he was relieved at the initial stunned, but his mood was a little mixed.

I feel that Wang Fulin can continue to say what he said, but as Zhang Juzheng's confidant, he is not at all secretive to His Holiness, which is clearly on his side, but at the same time, he is worried that if Wang Fulin takes what he said to Zhang Juzheng, will Zhang Juzheng unite with Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li and discipline him again?

After Wang Fulin finished talking about this hearsay rumor, he immediately changed his words and said: "The minister has always been an extremely straightforward person, since he has arrived at the Zhending Mansion and met with the prefect Qian Pu, the minister directly asked Lord Qian about the sedan chair. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun's eyes widened on the throne, and even Zhang Ning, who was also acting as a gossip person next to him at that time, was stupid. Several eunuchs exchanged glances with each other, and a thought turned in their hearts.

Could it be that Wang Fulin is planning to play for Qian Pu or Zhang Juzhengwen?

"Governor Qian said very happily that he did send a sedan chair and prepared a sedan chair when Lord Shoufu went south to bury his father." Wang Fulin saw Zhu Yijun's eyes sharpened suddenly, and after a pause, he continued, "But he shouted wronged about the regulation of the sedan chair, he said that the sedan chair he dedicated is indeed very large, and a screen and a soft couch can be placed in the middle, and a small number can be placed on the soft couch for the first assistant to handle official business and rest, and a child can also be allowed to serve." Moreover, he insisted that only eight palanquin bearers were used, and there were absolutely no thirty-two. ”

At that time, the minister thought that he was secretive, and under questioning, he was in a hurry, so he reasoned with the minister. First of all, he said that it was extremely difficult to find a class of eight, two shifts of sixteen sedan chairmen who could cooperate in two shifts. Just like the Luan driver in the same palace, as long as there are many sedan chair drivers, they must be carefully trained, otherwise the people who are looking for temporary will not be able to lift the sedan chair and walk up, and they will inevitably stumble before and after, and hit walls everywhere. Where did he go to find the man who had carried sixteen people to carry the sedan chair? ”

The larger and more complicated the sedan chair, the heavier the weight will naturally be, and Yuanfu set out from Jingshi on March 13 and arrived in Gangneung on the fourth day of April, a total of 5,170 miles, and it took only 20 days, which is converted into a daily journey, often more than 200 miles. Even if you ride a horse all the way, you can drive 240 miles a day and you are already about to break up the shelf, let alone the sedan chair driver who is carrying a sedan chair? Not to mention two shifts, can the rotation of ten shifts be faster than riding a horse? Therefore, Qian Zhifu said that this sedan chair started from Zhending Mansion and ended at Handan on the border of North Zhili and Henan, and passed through Zhending Mansion, Shunde Mansion and Guangping Mansion in total. ”

If there is such a thing as a historical article, Zhu Yijun still has a little concept, the Ming Dynasty map, he has also seen it, but for the real distance, the Wanli Emperor, who has never been out of the palace at all, has no concept at all.

Hearing Wang Fulin's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "If you take a sedan chair, you can't walk more than 200 miles a day?" ”

This time, Zhang Ning finally realized the key, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the post station transmits emergency military information, which is divided into two gears, four hundred miles for expedited and six hundred miles for expedited, of which the latter needs to walk at night, changing horses and not people, so that the horsepower can be maximized." However, if the court officials need to rush urgently, it is often difficult to achieve such a speed as the transmission of military information by laying the army, and galloping 240 miles a day is the limit. ”

Although Zhu Yijun has heard that Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair is similar to the arrogance of Luan, but the four-hundred-mile rush and the six-hundred-mile rush are the two ways to transmit the emergency military situation, and the speed of riding a horse is faster than the sedan chair, he still has this kind of common sense, thinking that riding a horse can continue to change horses through the post station, the swaying speed of the sedan chair is indeed impossible to be faster, his brows stretched slightly, but he only heard Wang Fulin continue: "However, if you look at the system, Lord Qian's sedan chair is indeed a little beyond the system, after all, the previous rules were, Ministers can only sit in a sedan chair if they are above four grades, and no more than four people can carry them, and military generals are not allowed to sit in a sedan chair. ”

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs standing in the room chuckled.

Who else really keeps those old rules these days? There are eight high-ranking officials in the capital, let alone outside? As for what military generals can't sit in a sedan chair, it's just empty talk, these nobles who are pampered and pampered, and the sword may not be able to lift it, who is not young and swaggers through the market in a sedan chair?

If it was really the emperor who listened to Wang Fulin, so he pursued it, Wang Fulin might be hated because of this, but this kid is not afraid of itching because of lice, and in the end, Empress Dowager Li or Feng Bao began to investigate where the rumors of Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair came from, wouldn't they be unlucky?

So, a eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Zhangdao said is very true, but at the beginning, only officials above the fourth rank could sit in a sedan chair, and there could not be more than eight people, which was the rule in the Hongzhi period." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, another person also hurriedly interjected: "After all, Mr. Zhang is the first assistant of the court, and there is a cabinet urgency on the way, and he can also handle official affairs by the way when he is sitting in a sedan chair. ”

When the third person wanted to interject, he only heard a bang, and when he saw the little emperor smashing his fist on the armrest, he was suddenly silent, where did he dare to say a word? And what made him even more frightened was that as if beating the handrail was not enough, Zhu Yijun actually smashed a cup next to him directly, and with that bang, several eunuchs who were waiting no longer dared to have any luck, and they all knelt down, and the action was absolutely uniform.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ning couldn't help but hesitate, but when he saw Wang Fulin making a very hidden shaking movement towards him, thinking of the boldness of the young man in charge of the imperial history just now, he finally gritted his teeth and endured the action of kneeling down to ask for sin, and stood there with his eyes and nose and nose, but he was really worried in his heart.

Although the emperor's anger didn't seem to be directed at him and Wang Fulin, the Son of Heaven was already angry like this, was it really good for them to stand upright like this?

Wang Fulin really didn't want to be a kowtow worm if he had nothing to do, not to mention, he keenly felt that Zhu Yijun's anger was indeed not aimed at them. Moreover, he could even further conclude that these eunuchs who were personally selected by the little emperor to enter the Qianqing Palace, and who became close servants first in the water building, must have wanted to express themselves in a hurry for quick success, so he looked at his words and felt that the little emperor should be planning to gradually take back the imperial power, so he deliberately picked Zhang Juzheng's extravagance and lasciviousness. But you can just say it, and when you face a certain amount of pressure at a critical moment, you immediately start to clear up, how can this make Zhu Yijun embarrassed?

In the final analysis, Zhang Hong is really scheming, once the little emperor realizes that he may not be reliable in personally picking people, then what kind of attitude will he have next?

"Get out!"

These three words without any reference were not at all moved. Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are famous for their "stiff bones", and they are not those slaves of the Qing Dynasty in the end, he never thinks that Zhu Yijun's words will really come at him. After all, if a courtier who doesn't see the emperor is treated as "get out" because he disagrees, there must be no uproar outside?

The most important thing is that he knows that he is definitely just a head, and it is precisely those eunuchs who do not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the emperor who provoke the emperor's anger!

Sure enough, there was almost no hesitation, and I saw that the eunuchs were in a hurry, but they didn't even dare to beg for mercy and explain, and they all bowed their bodies and retreated towards the emperor. Seeing Zhang Ning's face, he was obviously very nervous, he took advantage of Zhu Yijun's inattention, and threw a look over to let Zhang Ning calm down for a while, but he saluted and said: "The emperor is angry, the minister just told the truth before, if there is any inappropriate words, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

drove out those guys who were usually very good at talking, but were busy clearing themselves out at critical moments, and Zhu Yijun's mood was barely better. Seeing Wang Fulin's appearance of not being humble or arrogant, and then seeing Zhang Ning also bowing down, he looked at it and felt that it was far more pleasing to the eye than those kowtow insects, and he waved his hand very generously at the moment.

"It's not your fault, get up. It's all those guys chewing their tongues, and now they find out that something is wrong, but they immediately change their words, it's just unsightly, hateful! After scolding again, Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Fulin and asked in a deep voice, "What Zhang Ning said just now, all the prefectures and counties, including Zhending, welcome Mrs. Zhang, do you have anything to add?" ”

Since Wang Fulin was not sure whether Liu Shouyou, the Jinyi guard, had already taken refuge in the emperor, he chose to tell the truth, casually added a few things that Zhang Ning did not mention, and then turned the topic to the subsection that he was very familiar with.

"Your Majesty, when Mrs. Tai arrived in Zhending, she heard the three major sayings of Jinan, and once wanted to go to the Longxing Temple of Zhending Mansion to worship the statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, but considering that it might be too alarming, and Gonggong Wei had traveled all the way, it was already very hard, and the schedule was tight, so he finally gave up. In the next other prefectures and counties, Mrs. Tai was old after all and couldn't bear to socialize, so most of them didn't have much contact with the local guards, and it was Zhang Jingxiu, the son of the Zhang family, who came forward. Most of the gifts from the chief ministers are native products, and a few also have the four treasures of the study, but probably considering that there are ministers who are notoriously picky about the imperial history, there are not many valuable things. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin smiled and said: "The ministers will record and archive these gifts one by one, and the emperor will see ......."

He took out a fold from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "But with all due respect, after all, the minister only accompanied Mrs. Tai to the capital from Zhending, and didn't walk too much. ”

Zhu Yijun didn't expect that Wang Fulin not only said it on his lips, but also on paper, knowing that what he said was unreliable, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he had a little inexplicable good feeling in his heart, after all, this kind of thing is the most prone to accidents. And Zhang Ning secretly smacked his tongue in his heart that Wang Fulin was really bold enough, and he actually handed Zhang Juzheng's "black materials" in this Qianqing Palace, which is absolutely not secret, but on the other hand, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave is not as good as Wang Zhangdao and has a good memory, and she has not prepared for this, and she must be meticulous and clear when she looks back." ”

If Wang Fulin had prepared such an excerpt in advance, and Zhang Ning had also prepared it, Zhu Yijun might have to hesitate and doubt it a little, but seeing Zhang Ning's obvious surprise, Zhu Yijun's already biased balance suddenly became a little more biased, and when he took the fold in Wang Fulin's hand, he flipped through it casually, and found that mountain treasures such as fungus even remembered the weight clearly, and the inkstone showed the shape and size, and he couldn't help but look up at Wang Fulin a little strangely.

"Could it be that when the Zhang family received the gift, you were next to you?"

"Back to the emperor, the brothers of the Zhang family have never been involved in foreign affairs, so the person who gave the gift was I accompanied Zhang Jingxiu to see it, and the gift list was also copied by me."

So, with you as the door god, do others dare to give gifts casually?

Zhang Ning was crazy in his heart, and when he saw that Zhu Yijun was really a little stunned, he finally closed the thing and nodded, and he realized that the level in front of the emperor was almost over.

As for the next time he is in front of Feng Bao and Wang Fulin in front of Zhang Juzheng, how to explain this, because the emperor's side is likely to make a big fight in the Qianqing Palace again, but it is not so embarrassing.

Leaving the palace from the Donghua Gate, Zhang Ning and Wang Fulin parted ways, and went all the way north into the Huangwa East Gate of the Master of Ceremonies, he sat down and waited for Feng Bao to receive him, and about a quarter of an hour later, he really saw a small eunuch Fei also rushed into the office of the Master of Ceremonies, which attracted a lot of whispers outside. After the people came out, several writers and books surrounded them, but the little eunuch did not keep it secret, and the stars flew around and talked to everyone. After all, he was already a retinue who could participate in the approval of red, so he didn't step forward, but he still vaguely heard a few words coming from there.

"Your Majesty...... Hair Fall...... Chased four people in one go......"

At this moment, Zhang Ning only felt admiration and amazement in his heart. Wang Fulin's statement of nine truths and one falsehood actually really works!
