From Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan listening to a few Xiucai complaining and gossiping, to Yin Zhengmao's reminder when he was leaving, to the complete outbreak of Liaodong's killing and surrender, it was only a matter of ten days.

But in the past ten days, Cheng Naixuan really took a small step forward just like the wind Wang Fulin heard.

Don't look at this small step, if you can really survive the nine-year exam, then it is not difficult to climb into the ninth grade in one fell swoop and climb to the fifth or even fourth grade. I'm afraid that I will offend the powerful and even offend the emperor and be deposed in office, unless there are high-ranking officials who particularly appreciate you, otherwise the chance of recovery is very small.

But everyone regards it as a good thing, but Cheng Naixuan wants to cry without tears. Especially the Liaodong affair broke out just after he was promoted to the military branch left, and he even had a feeling of being a cheat.

Although many of today's Kedao are people who are promoted and placed by Zhang Juzheng, the protégés may turn against the master, not to mention the grace of the mere promotion. Moreover, the horizontal and vertical unveiled Liaodong Maojie, this is not directly aimed at Zhang Juzheng, many science and Taoist officials are eager to try, among them, the military department is the most active one in the matter, and while showing the benefits, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Liaodong to investigate the matter.

Guangmao's ancestral home in Shanxi, has always been the Warring States heroes Tian Guang, the early Ming Dynasty Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to fill Shandong with the people of Shanxi, his ancestors are a member of the big locust tree immigrants. As the saying goes, if you are not a good doctor, you are a good person, the ancestors of the Guang family are to practice medicine for a living, a few generations later, Binzhou Yangxin Guang gradually became a scholarly family, several ancestors because of the success of reading, stepped into the official career.

Although there has not been a very prominent high-ranking official, Guangmao's grandfather also served as a three-term magistrate in the county, and when he arrived, it was even more timely. He wrote several times before and after, although some of them were accurate and some were not, but he still spoke directly all over the world.

Therefore, even if Guangmao is not the only official who mentioned this matter in the book, he took the lead, and everyone else knew that it might not be his turn to lift the lid. Since it is not the turn, it is inevitable that some people will want to make trouble for Guangmao, among them, Qin Yiming, the head of Huguang Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, should not let him recommend Wang Fulin in a letter, and even took out Wang Fulin's original actions in Liaodong as a evidence, and the voice is full of affection, if people who don't know it see those beautiful words, I am afraid that he will think that he really has a good friendship with Wang Fulin. With him taking the lead, he found that he could push Wang Fulin out to check and balance, or the disgusting Guangmao Yanguan was all energetic.

Who doesn't know that in the past few years, Wang Fulin has often not ended well, and he didn't see that even the second assistant Zhang Siwei and the official branch have given Zhang Juzheng's cronies such as Chen Sanmo in the matter and have not been able to get a good deal?

The voice of uprightness is all over the world, such as Guangmao, there are many Qingliu gentlemen who admire him or are cited as the same kind, but there are also many people who hate this guy's style, including Chen Sanmo. Therefore, in line with the principle that he can't go anyway and doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Chen Sanmo also echoed and recommended Wang Fulin to go to Liaodong. It's just that in addition to the intention of watching jokes, he also has naked malice.

I think that Wang Fulin calculated the Li family's father and son in Liaodong at the beginning, if he goes to lift the lid again this time, the two sides will fall out, on one side is Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong who has worked hard, and on the other side is Wang Fulin, he doesn't believe that Zhang Juzheng will protect the latter wholeheartedly!

In this chaotic public opinion, Cheng Naixuan found that he had nothing to do with himself at all, and when he slipped to Wang's house to drink that night, he inevitably complained to Wang Fulin: "You still said that you would definitely not let you go to Liaodong, but look at it now, your voice is higher than that of Guangmao, who took the initiative to ask for help, causing this guy to sneer at me all day long in the military department, you are wrong this time, right?" ”

"So what's the matter, you see what's in my hand?" Wang Fulin casually pointed to a notebook on the desk in the study, and said with a smile, "The will of the person concerned is the most important, what do you say?" ”

What is the relationship between Cheng Naixuan and Wang Fulin, knowing that since this guy said it, he must be able to let himself see it, so he stood up and went to the desk, picked up the notebook and flipped through it. After skipping a few clichés, he saw the most critical content at a glance, and immediately screamed: "Shuangmu, you can't hurt me like this!" If I'm hit by someone else and run this trip, why do you want to recommend me? And he even went to Liaodong with Guangmao! ”

"Yuan Fu asked Chen Zongxian today to ask me if I wanted to go to Liaodong to investigate the matter, and I refused. Then, Chen Zongxian asked me, who do you think is suitable to follow Guangmao to Liaodong in the Six Science Corridors? Hearing this, you haven't tasted it yet? Wang Fulin's face stiffened when he saw Cheng Naixuan, so he said with a smile, "There are more than 100 inspectors in the Imperial Procuratorate, after I have dealt with them, there are no more than ten of them, as for the six science corridors, hehe, except for standing on duty during the court meeting, I usually basically stay away." Who do you say I can recommend besides you? And as soon as I mention your name, Chen Zongxian is obviously very satisfied. ”

Cheng Naixuan's face turned green, and after a while, he dropped the notebook and said stupidly: "I wanted to break your crow's mouth, but I didn't expect to be hit by you." Okay, I was first taken over by Wang Chonggu's son, and in turn I was rewarded for a gift, and I was looked down upon by Feng Bao before, and now it's actually my turn to go to Liaodong's Meicha, and I really look up to me too much. ”

"Don't think you're so virtuous, if you don't have any ability at all, you've been in the Six Science Corridor for more than a year? Will others want you to check and balance Guangmao this time? ”

Although Wang Fulin's words seemed to be joking, Cheng Naixuan suddenly snorted angrily: "I don't know what to say good things that make me happy, it's all because I made bad friends by mistake!" But forget it, isn't it just pretending to be deaf and dumb with Guangmao? I was transferred to the military department before, and I have always been quite honest. But Guangmao doesn't want to be powerful, it's a big deal, he wants a future, I can go out! ”

The next day, Wang Fulin directly handed the book to the eunuch of Huijimen. Since it is not through the inscription of the General Administration, it is difficult for outsiders to know what is written in this recital. Although there is also the most convenient way to bribe the eunuchs in charge of the door, but the people who can be assigned to this position are all Feng Bao's own people who have inspected and re-investigated, and if they really leak the content of the book because of one or two money, there will definitely be only one end. Because of this, it wasn't until the inner court copied the book that the content was spread all at once.

Wang Fulin actually euphemistically said that he was not suitable to go to Liaodong, and Guangmao was indeed the best candidate in the military department. However, because of the big stake, the internal move did not avoid relatives, and recommended Cheng Naixuan to go to Liaodong with the middle of the military department to inspect the victory of Changding Fort. The cabinet vote was intended to be approved, but the approval of the red was not the celebrant supervisor, but the Son of Heaven personally instructed, so that Guangmao and Cheng Naixuan went to Liaodong to find out the performance, and they were not allowed to pretend to be wrong.

The first to get the news was the Six Science Corridor, and the two parties who were recommended were all in the Six Science Corridor, and all of them belonged to the Military Department, which naturally caused an uproar in the Six Science Corridor. Chen Sanmo didn't expect Wang Fulin to go by himself, but while pushing Guangmao, he pushed Cheng Naixuan up. And Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu, the same year as Wang Fulin, had envied Cheng Naixuan for taking a small step forward in the first year, and this time he gently and skillfully picked off a good errand that was likely to establish a reputation, and he almost became sour. As for the most mixed tastes, it is none other than Guangmao.

Wang Fulin is inferior to him, which is enough to make him proud, but Wang Fulin has added a Cheng Naixuan as an additive, the Son of Heaven is still approved, how can he be happy?

It's just that the cabinet voted for the draft and the Son of Heaven personally approved the transcript, and the foreign ministers did not have much room for beak at all-the right of the Six Branch Corridor to refute the will in the matter, and no one would use it in such a place without brains. So, such a thing was decided. It's just that the focus of people's attention has changed subtly, and Guangmao, the principal, has not received as much attention as Cheng Naixuan, the assistant.

After Cheng Naixuan entered the Sixth Science Corridor, although he had impeached a few people in the book, he had also said a few things about enslavement, and even provoked Fan Shimei to impeach Wang Fulin in a letter, which indirectly prompted Chen Sanmo to speak for Zhang Siwei, but this kind of thing is not easy to publicize after all, and in the eyes of most people, he is still a relatively low-key person after all.

Because she wasn't going to war, Xu Yao had already heard Cheng Naixuan say hello, so she didn't worry too much when she was preparing her husband's bags. On the contrary, when Cheng Naixuan gritted her teeth and said that Wang Fulin was slippery and lazy, she patted her husband's shoulder with some anger: "I'm ready to go, what are you blaming others for here?" ”

"Didn't I think that my father-in-law had always kept a low profile for me? With Guangmao now, even if he was low-key at first, after he came back, he couldn't be low-key. Cheng Naixuan was talking, and his face was held by a pair of hands, but he saw his wife staring at him seriously.

"You also said before, Dad just thinks you don't need to learn from Brother Wang. However, you don't want to go out in the future and be introduced by others, saying that you are Wang Fulin's fellow villager and friend of the same year, and then you will be in the middle of the matter, right? Brother Wang has Brother Wang's methods, you have your methods, he may directly turn things upside down when he goes to Liaodong, but when it is your turn, you may not be able to give everyone an explanation in a low-key manner. ”

Cheng Naixuan was just habitually playing treasures, he didn't expect his wife to have such a serious reaction, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, holding his wife's hand and asking repeatedly: "Do you really think I can do it?" Even if Guangmao is much more famous and more senior than me, can I do better than him? ”

"No matter how famous Guangmao is, what does it have to do with me?" Xu Yao didn't answer positively, but pursed her lips and smiled, then broke free of her hand, and said softly, "Quickly pack up and sleep, and set off tomorrow!" ”

"With Madame's words, I dare to go up to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, let alone a mere Liaodong?"

After sending Cheng Naixuan off the next day, Wang Fulin naturally went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. And Xiaobei, who went to Cheng's house, almost laughed out of breath after asking such a bold sentence from Xu Yao. Xu Yao lost his mouth for a while, and couldn't help but regret it at this time, and immediately said with a red face: "Don't laugh at him!" ”

"I know, I don't say a word to anyone, even if it's my father-in-law, sister, or father." Xiaobei knew that Xu Yao's face was tender, so he hurriedly raised his hand to surrender. When Cheng Naixuan's pair of children were led by the nurse and carried by the nurse into the house, she was overjoyed, hugged the child wrapped in a piece of silk swaddling clothes, and the milk name was called Yaya in her hand, and looked at it for a while. But at this moment, she could only hear Yan's mother's voice outside. Sensing that although Yan's mother was gossiping with someone in a low voice, there seemed to be some anxiety in her voice, so she reluctantly returned the child to Xu Yao.

"Xiao Yun has only been in Beijing for a long time, and the two of them were busy with business before, and they didn't have time to accompany them as husband and wife, Xiao Yun still helped me with the housekeeping, I have to go back and see."

Xu Yao knew that Wang Fulin's brother and sister were deeply affectionate, and Xiaobei and Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were friends who had long been familiar with each other, not only sister-in-law, so she sent Xiaobei to the door of the house with a smile. As soon as Xiaobei, who called Yan's mother to go out, walked out of the side door of Cheng's house, he immediately asked, "What happened at home?" ”

Seeing that it was her inner courtyard, Yan's mother immediately gestured for Fangrong and Fangshu to go back to the room first, and then approached behind Xiaobei and whispered: "The second aunt and grandmother caught a servant woman who delivered news to the outside world, and she was newly picked. ”

Xiao Bei stood up for a moment, and then rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance. How spicy and capable Wang Erniang is, Wang Fulin said that she has also seen it with her own eyes, and now such a capable sister-in-law directly caught such a guy who "eats inside and outside", which makes her really difficult. As a housewife, she couldn't tolerate the matter, otherwise the rest of the family wouldn't know that she had deliberately built a hole in the fence to let the foxes in, but instead learned them one by one, which would be troublesome. But if it is punished severely, God knows if that guy is a simple factory guard eyeliner, or what......

But when she thought about it, she immediately sneered: "Okay, if it weren't for Xiao Yun's sharp eyes, my omission would have caused a big incident immediately!" Let's go, let's see! ”

Yan's mother originally wanted to persuade Xiaobei, since she was caught by Wang Erniang, no matter what her original intention was before, she couldn't let it go now, but when she heard Xiaobei say this, she immediately put her mind at ease. When she accompanied Xiaobei to the front of the Xiaohua Hall, she saw a servant woman kneeling in the courtyard with an earthy face, and as soon as she paused, she did not follow Xiaobei into the flower hall, but only beckoned to the new girls who had been taught by her before and another servant woman, and asked carefully about the reason for the matter.

And Xiaobei, who entered the flower hall, also asked the reason from Wang Erniang. The arrested servant woman went to the door when she was fine, and after being bumped into twice by Wang Erniang, Wang Erniang became suspicious. When she found out for the third time, she directly called the merchant and the servant woman to the front yard and asked Wang Siming to come forward to ask, but the servant woman hurriedly swallowed a paper ball into her stomach before the body search. Wang Erniang felt that the matter was serious, so she let the merchant continue to be escorted in the front yard, and on the other hand, she took the servant woman to the backyard, and invited someone to inform Yan's mother and Xiaobei.

"Sister-in-law, I know that I am acting as a substitute, but don't say that the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, if this kind of person doesn't kill a hundred people, I'm afraid there will be problems......"

Without waiting for Wang Erniang to finish speaking, Xiaobei nodded and said, "You are right, and you are right, of course this matter cannot be tolerated!" Someone came, and pulled out the servant who had fornicated with the outsider and beat him for twenty, and then called Ya Po and asked her to compensate me for the money and bring the person back. If she doesn't have an explanation, she won't do this business in Beijing in the future! As for the merchant who hooked up with her, he sent Shuntianfu with Xianggong's post! ”

She has deliberately loosened the fence, if it is really the person sent by the factory guard, but it is so easy to be recognized, then the person in charge has to reflect on himself and think about how to explain it to the boss!
