Chapter 465: Turning him upside down
"So, that's it."
Hearing such a concluding sentence, and seeing Xiaobei's empty face, Wang Fulin didn't know what kind of expression he should have, what mood he should have. Out of a headache for the word disaster, since he arrived in Nanjing, even if he caused trouble, he has been trying to pay attention to proportion, and after the arson case in the bookstore, he simply closed his door and hid to be idle. As a result, it was an hour and a half since Xiaobei disappeared, and after he came back, he threw such a big event in front of him!
"I know it's a problem." Xiaobei muttered in a low voice, "But at that time, I couldn't help but drink them, and I used the special soft hemp cigarettes that my father's soldiers used to prepare for emergencies, even if they didn't ask for help, I couldn't really leave these things and leave." ”
Seeing that Wang Fulin still didn't speak, Xiaobei sat down discouraged, not knowing what it was like. The tree fell and scattered, she had already accepted this ending, and she never planned to reintegrate her father's old people together, you must know what a luxurious lineup Hu Zongxian's staff team was back then, and how could ordinary people be able to hold it again? And those pro-soldiers have long been scattered everywhere and have their own lives, and she doesn't want to disturb them. As for those enemies, she didn't plan to do anything, Emperor Jiajing was dead, and Xu Jie's resignation was retaliated by Gao Gong, as for the other henchmen, can she still kill people one by one?
So if Wang Ruzheng copied the Hu family at the beginning, Wang Fulin helped her take a good breath, and that was enough! But. What she didn't expect was. It's all been so many years. There are still people who plan to start through Hu Zongxian's old ministry and stir up trouble again!
Just when Xiaobei had mixed feelings, she suddenly found that the person sitting in front of her stood up. When she looked up, she found that Wang Fulin was looking at her. She jumped up like a child who had done something wrong, but she didn't want Wang Fulin to hook her hand. She hesitated for a moment, then moved her steps forward, only to hear him ask, "Where is the man now?" ”
Xiaobei's heart jumped, and he didn't wait for an answer. I only felt that my hand was tightly held in Wang Fulin's hand, and then it was his familiar and calm voice: "Since I once went to Jixi Longchuan Village with you to worship, Hu Butang is naturally my father-in-law." It was so easy for him to regain his former name, and if he was hurt again this time, wouldn't my son-in-law be very useless? I'm just hiding, I'm not afraid of things, and you don't know my personality, it's a big deal that I, the disaster star, will turn Nanjing upside down again! ”
Even though he knew that a small part of Wang Fulin's bold words were to comfort himself, Xiaobei still only felt happy in his heart. She nodded vigorously and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I'm worried that the news will leak out." The house over there was no longer inhabitable, so I asked Yan's mother to take them to find a secret place to settle in. I was afraid that they would play tricks, so I left Yan's mother to watch them, and I will come back to report to you. That He Si was a person from the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and he had to ask someone to ask for leave, which was delayed for a long time. I think, if someone really provoked He Si to do this behind his back, he would definitely find out that he was missing soon, what should I do next? ”
What to do? This is also the most difficult problem for Wang Fulin at the moment. instigated several of Hu Zongxian's old subordinates in the past, and then picked a suitable talent to burn down the bookstore, in order to arouse the scholars' hatred of Meng Fang, and at the same time further provoke the confrontation between the two sides, and it is best to cause chaos, hoping to influence Feng Bao. Judging from this series of arrangements, it seems to be quite orderly, but the problem is that Feng Bao has served Emperor Wanli since he was a child, and he is also very trusted in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, where is this kind of little trick so easy to be triggered?
From a conspiracy theory point of view, this design is really a bit too petty! If Shao Fang was still alive, he might still suspect this Danyang Shao hero, but the problem is that Shao Fang is dead!
"Since there are people behind He Si, all the arrangements must be under control, and the other two people can't hide just by hiding." Wang Fulin paused for a moment, and then said, "Don't come forward, let Mother Yan go and point out the benefits and disadvantages with them." At this time, if they have the ability to kill He Si, and then leave their hometown with their families and flee to the world, then let them be, you don't have to worry about it anymore. But if you have the temperament, it's better to go out and make things bigger! Let the Nanjing garrison eunuch Meng Fang know that someone is plotting against him behind his back, calculating Feng Bao, and let Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, know that someone is calculating the talented people in the city and wants to cause chaos! ”
Xiaobei's face was solemn all of a sudden, and he didn't expect that what Wang Fulin just said about the so-called upheaval was not just talking, but real!
"But in this way, it is not a pity that He Si died, but the other two people will definitely be killed by the mastermind behind the scenes, they ......"
"We can't save them, let alone save them, so the only choice is to make things bigger. This is different from Minister Wang's case, Minister Wang was killed because he directly bit out Feng Bao. And that He Si may not know who is behind it, so as long as it is checked, the forces of all parties are afraid of each other, and the other two may be able to escape with their lives as long as they shout for fear of being killed. As for if they want to get out of the way, that's their choice. If he falls into the hands of the government one day, I think it is best for them to know what to say. ”
Wang Fulin knew that his choice was a little cold, but he didn't make trouble himself, the matter was caused by others, how could he jump out and end it? He is not a saint, and maintaining Hu Zongxian's reputation does not necessarily have to completely smooth things out, and his approach is another option. Once the water is completely muddyed, the sneaky people behind the scenes who use little tricks will not be able to move!
Of course, he didn't know if people would splash dirty water on the high arch that had already dismissed the prime minister, but so many officials in the entire city of Nanjing, it would not be too much to contain each other, it was far better than hiding it. Even if people pour dirty water on the high arch, it is not his responsibility, and there are officials who can't stand it to come out and speak!
In the evening, Xiaobei quietly went out again, and when he came back, he brought Yan's mother with him. Whether it was Xiaobei's two trips back and forth, or Yan's mother disappeared for an afternoon, because they all climbed over the wall and did not go to the main entrance, no one noticed the trace of Xin'an Hall, and even Cheng Naixuan and his wife didn't know at all. When everyone fell asleep in the dead of night, Xiaobei couldn't help but grab Wang Fulin's arm and whispered: "Even if they agree to make a fuss, will this matter really not implicate my father?" ”
"The reputation of the father-in-law Hu Butang is originally a mixed reputation, once the controversy is aroused, some people will reprimand and sympathize, besides, the key is what the Nanjing garrison eunuch Meng Fang and Yingtian Governor Zhang Jiayin think, everyone knows that the dead will not form a party, not to mention, the Hu family tree has already completely collapsed, and none of your two elder brothers have become a weapon, since there is no one to succeed him, so the people who fanned the flames and made waves will be attributed to the dead, do you think that everyone in the officialdom and the people is blind and deaf? Sleep in peace, tomorrow will not involve us even if it is a messy day. ”
As Wang Fulin said, from early the next morning, the whole city of Nanjing was in chaos. First of all, someone shouted and jumped into the river on the Dazhong Bridge, and then after the onlookers squeezed the three layers inside and three layers outside, they beat their chests in public, saying that they were the old department of the Zhejiang Army in the past, and regretted that they should not have listened to a robe Ze bewitched who was working in the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, and went to instigate the Xiucai who was arrested before to burn the Italian bookstore, and the person who drunk and bewitched himself the night before learned that he was instructed by someone to provoke the candidates to make trouble with the enemy, and calculated the Nanjing garrison eunuch Meng Fang, and now he regretted it when he learned the truth of the matter, and could only jump into the river to die.
Naturally, these words caused an uproar. Because there were also a few talents among the onlookers, seeing that people really dived, some people immediately shouted loudly, they couldn't let the witness die like this, and naturally many people went into the water to save people and sent people to the yamen of Yingtian Governor, and the matter was alarmed in front of Zhang Jiayin in a moment.
However, this is not the only place where the incident took place. In front of the Nanjing Garrison Eunuch's Mansion, He Si, who was stubby and short-eyebrowed, was also dragged out by another man. Before seeing Meng Fang, the man also shouted a statement similar to that on the Dazhong Bridge, and I don't know how many people heard it. And Meng Fang naturally does not act more than Zhang Jiayin to abide by the rules of officialdom, his own Italian documents were burned, even if the loss is very small for property, but for face, it is very damaging, he is already hot enough, even if he ordered someone to torture He Si, he really forced someone to ask someone behind the instigation.
The garrison eunuch and the governor of Yingtian were all alarmed, and then things naturally fermented rapidly, and the Xiucai who took the exam went to the palace outside the palace to complain angrily, even if since the relocation of the capital, except for the prince Zhu Zhanji who had stayed here for a short time during the Renzong period, this palace city has long been empty, but it does not prevent the students from venting their anger, and at the same time asking for the release of the previous few innocent Xiucai.
The garrison eunuch Meng Fang and Yingtian Governor Zhang Jiayin came and went several times, and each time they broke up unhappily, so that after the death of the former Duke of Wei Xu Pengju, Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai, who served as the guard of Nanjing, had to come forward to be a peacemaker at a very old age.
Most of the descendants of the founding heroes of the early Ming Dynasty were purged in the late Hongwu period in the successive prisons and the Battle of Jingjing, as well as the turmoil in the early years of Yongle. Many hereditary titles have long ceased to be inherited, and it was not until the Jiajing period that the descendants of these heroes were able to re-enter the high-end political arena. Among them, Li Tingzhu is the most outstanding one among the descendants of these Hongwu nobles.
On this day, he set up a banquet in the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, invited Meng Fang and Zhang Jiayin to come over, and after toasting in person, he retired from his entourage, and said a word solemnly.
"An arson fire is so boiling, do you want the two to think that the two of them are incompetent and can't control the southeast?" (To be continued......)
