The two attendants who instigated Emperor Wanli to go to the Wenhua Hall to listen to have been quietly transferred to other places by Feng Bao through Empress Dowager Li, although Emperor Zhu Yijun of Wanli was not very happy about this, but the order of the queen mother, the suggestion of the great companion, and the eunuch Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, also persuaded him in private, he didn't pay attention to it anymore, anyway, the two attendants were just two close attendants, and there was a better one when they left.

And Wang Shifang's case is not only widely circulated among the people, but also because of Feng Bao's push, Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li, who are benevolent, have all heard those details.

Empress Dowager Chen was only the daughter of a prisoner in the past, and Empress Dowager Li was even more from a poor background, so they were also very angry at Wang Shifang's despicable behavior of cheating women out of money and impersonating others. When the cabinet vote was about to be submitted, and Feng Bao specially came to ask Zhu for approval, the Empress Dowager Li didn't think about it and ordered it to be reissued. So, when the final punishment was made public, hundreds of people applauded, but Wang Shifang fell down and fainted.

The behavior is despicable, shameless, cut for the people, and never be used!

Such crimes are more terrible than bribery, and may even cause harm to future generations...... To put it mildly, who will marry his daughter to him when he returns to his hometown on such a charge?

When this case came to light and there was a result, Zhang Juzheng took out the recital of Liu Tai, the imperial history of the Liaodong Patrol that was specially held in his hand for two days, and this day was directly sent to the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun after the daily lecture. Seeing that after the little emperor finished reading this fierce rhetoric, the face of Tie Qing was angry, and when Lord Shoufu of the court knelt down with great sadness.

"Your Majesty, it is the duty of the officials to impeach the ministers. But Liu Tai was selected by the minister during the examination. The dynasty has been in existence for more than 200 years. There has never been a precedent for a protégé to impeach a master. Now Liu Tai has written to impeach the minister, and even accused the minister of using Zhang Xueyan to soothe Liao, many of them are selfish, and impeached Zhang Xueyan for many mistakes, what kind of face does the minister have to fall in love with again? Today, the minister resigned from the cabinet and returned to his hometown. ”

"How can it be!" Zhu Yijun didn't think about it, so he directly threw the piece to the ground, then got up from his seat, and quickly stepped forward to help Zhang Juzheng up. Only then did he say with a sincere face, "Sir, please get up!" Those noisy science and technology officials jumped up and down before, I was already annoyed with them, and I just sent down a Wang Shifang, this time Liu Tai, as a protégé to impeach the master, is even more heinous, how can Mr. abandon me because of such a villain? I immediately issued an order to arrest Liu Tai and give Mr. this evil breath! In this way, I asked Jinyiwei to arrest all the people who took the opportunity to impeach Mr. in the Wenhua Palace before, and interrogated them if they were colluded! ”

Although Zhang Juzheng has already made up his mind to purge the Daoyan officials. But he also knows that there must be a degree to this move, and the people who have already been sent will bring it back to try whether there is any collusion. Then there is no need. Therefore, he pretended to be tolerant and generous and said a lot of good things for others in front of Zhu Yijun, which finally made the little emperor dispel his thoughts. However, in his heart, he had beaten Liu Tai into the chicken who was going to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. However, when he was about to retire, he suddenly heard Zhu Yijun ask: "By the way, the one from the Wenhua Hall last time...... That Wang Fulin, hasn't he been awarded an official yet? ”

I didn't expect Emperor Wanli to suddenly ask Wang Fulin, Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, and then sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Fulin has taken sick leave and is planning to return to his hometown." ”

"Calling in sick? I remember that he was young, like less than twenty, right? ”

Seeing that Zhu Yijun's brows were already tightly wrinkled, Zhang Juzheng could only avoid the important and said lightly: "There is a difference in the climate between the north and the south, he is from the south, and he is naturally not used to going to the north." Moreover, although he is young, he has traveled to Jiliao before, and he is exhausted, and he wants to return to his hometown to recuperate for a while, which is also reasonable. Only when he is healthy can he come back to serve the emperor, after all, he is young and there is still time. ”

Zhu Yijun didn't really have a high impression of Wang Fulin, just because that experience in Wenhua Hall was really ups and downs, which was more exciting than watching a play, which impressed him deeply. With such a person, maybe he can watch more excitement in the future, provided that he doesn't make trouble to Zhang Juzheng in the end like last time, and he was almost dumbfounded when he was unprepared. If it's just a matter of watching the excitement, it's still fun.

Therefore, he sighed with some regret, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Hong had mentioned the legend of the heroes of Liaodong, and he asked again: "Before, Wang Fulin asked for rewards for those righteous men who went out of Fushun Pass, and I thought that those officials were too noisy, so I only rewarded things according to his request, and I really couldn't reward a few official positions?" ”

If you want to talk about a few small military attache titles, Zhang Juzheng doesn't attach much importance to them, but the little emperor asked about these before he was in power, but he felt that this precedent was unbreakable, so he immediately said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these people are not in the military after all, if they are easily rewarded for military positions, the officers and men in the army may not be satisfied." What's more, I have already rewarded it before, and now I have to reward it again after a short period of time, so how can people in the world talk about it? The rewards and punishments are clear, which is the foundation of the court's work, but the reward is too generous, it is too lenient, and the punishment is too heavy. ”

It is not the first time that Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun has been taught by Zhang Juzheng, so it is just a matter of being depressed. When Zhang Juzheng said goodbye and left, he was still a little hesitant after all, so he simply sent his close attendant Zhang Cheng to see Zhang Hong. Not long after, when Zhang Cheng came back, he brought a message from Zhang Hong.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Zhang said that he would go to Tan Shangshu of the Ministry of War to send a letter to him. It is said that Wang Fulin's cousin Shiqing was given by Tan Shangshu, and Tan Shangshu also gave him a sword made inside, within the allowable range, Tan Shangshu may have an idea. ”

Emperor Wanli was just a little resentful that he was refuted by Zhang Juzheng, and when he heard Zhang Cheng bring back such an echo, his face was a little pale. However, he didn't know that Zhang Cheng also pinched off the last half of Zhang Hong's words and didn't say anything. That is, "But don't have too much hope, even if Tan Shangshu is not good at disobeying Lord Shoufu after all."

Now that the approval of the sick leave has been approved, Wang Fulin naturally began to pack his luggage in full swing and prepare to open the way. Among them, the cheap medicinal herbs and skins purchased in Liaodong must be brought back, and the rest of the luggage is simple. Because now it's past the Mid-Autumn Festival. The climate is especially suitable for traveling. He planned not to take the overland official route by boat. This necessitates the loading of horses, the calculation of the mule carts for the salutes, the handling of wayfindings, and so on. Therefore, when he was so busy that he couldn't wait to use his hands and feet at the same time, he was really surprised when he heard that Tan Lun and Wang Daokun were coming together.

Don't say that Wang Daokun is an elder, just ask him for something, it's too unusual to come in person; is a military secretary like Tan Lun, who is usually worth visiting. They are all elders of the same grade or even higher. What are the two officers of the military department suddenly doing here?

However, after he actually went to greet the two, what he got was Wang Daokun's big eyes: "What are we doing here?" Didn't you go home and recuperate for a while? Of course, Brother Zili and I are here to visit the patient. ”

“……”

Wang Fulin was so choked that he couldn't speak, and only then did he say after welcoming the two into the study: "Didn't I have to make excuses?" Besides, even if I have to leave, of course I will come back and quit. ”

"It's not necessary to go to the door to resign, before your sloppy writing even made my eyelids jump when I saw it, and some of the words and sentences were written by you, and you said nonsense with your eyes open." Wang Daokun unceremoniously revealed Wang Fulin's shortcomings, and then sighed and said, "Originally, I only thought about what method to use. I want you to be able to win the title of the gold list in one fell swoop last year, just hoping that you can come out and pick up some burden for the Wang family of Songmingshan. But you refuse to settle down wherever you go, and you cause so many things, and you let me say what is good about you? ”

Seeing Wang Fulin bowing his head and accepting it humbly, Tan Lun couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Nanming, don't do one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back, who is behind it to tell me that as soon as Shiqing returned to Beijing, he rushed left and right to break through a good situation planned by others in a thousand ways, so that our two difficult brothers and sisters can sit back and relax for a period of time?" Although he seems to have delayed his future for a while, his age is here, compared to what we were back then, he can afford to wait. That's your own nephew, and although you can praise it if it's not good or okay, you don't have to beat it all at once. ”

Wang Daokun's intentions were exposed by Tan Lun, and he was suddenly a little stunned, and stopped speaking after glaring at Wang Fulin. And Wang Fulin also heard from Tan Lun's words that after these two people were temporarily out of the danger of being coveted for their seats, they had already been alert or reflective, and he let go of the last worry in his heart. These two have been in the officialdom for so long, and the officials have been the second and third grades, as long as they are vigilant and careful, where is it so easy to be calculated, and more importantly, these two are still eating in the same yamen!

So, he was smart and naturally didn't take Tan Lun's words casually, but sincerely reviewed the previous mistakes. For such a nephew who is too slippery and doesn't keep his hands, Wang Daokun really doesn't have much to say, not to mention, it is Tan Lun's leader who came today, and he looked sideways at Tan Lun.

Tan Lun expressed his intention: "Today I am not only here to see you, but I am also here to see the warriors in the Liaodong Heroes Biography that you made." ”

Wang Fulin originally wanted to find an opportunity to mention this matter to Tan Lun, but he didn't expect Tan Lun to take the initiative to speak, he was overjoyed, and quickly agreed and immediately turned around and went out, and after a while, he found all the people, even Shen Maoxue. When such more than ten people stood in the study room, which was not too spacious, they couldn't help but look a little nervous when they thought of the Shangshu and Shilang of the military department in front of them, who fought side by side in Fujian and served as governors of Fujian.

"With your merits in Liaodong this time, the reward of the imperial court is indeed a little meager, so the palace came out before, saying that the emperor wants to give you a military position, but due to public opinion in the court, it is not easy to give it lightly, let me think of a way. But even if I am the secretary of the military department, I can only do things within the rules and regulations, and the only way out is martial arts. I know that many of you probably haven't read any books, but Huizhou Mansion is the most famous hometown of reading in Nanzhili, as long as you spend a little more effort, the literary test in the martial arts is not difficult, and it is still possible to take one. The martial arts is invigilated by the Ministry of War, as long as you are well-versed in literature and science, I can be the master of most of them. ”

Speaking of this, Tan Lun paused, then looked at Shen Yourong and said, "Shen Shihong, Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, has already written to the Ministry of War to protect you." As long as you succeed in Tianwuju next year, you will be sent back to Liaodong immediately to report the merits! I can give you a promise now, if you are not sure about the martial arts next year, I can change your military status in Liaodong right now and let you go to Liaodong! Not only Shen Yourong, but also the rest of you. (To be continued.) )
