That night, Wang Fulin was not at his house, but in Zhang's house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Because of Feng Bao's eyeliner in Dongchang, it was too late to spread out to stare at Zhang Siwei and those officials who were in charge of the palace, and Liu Shouyou, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, had already stepped down, Liu Baichuan and Guo Bao were already his people, so he could naturally enter Zhang's mansion unknowingly. Because he had stayed at Huijimen in advance, he now wrote and sent a copy of the impeachment of Liu Shouyou, and Zhang Juzheng, who was finally carried out of the Qianqing Palace, arrived at Zhang's Mansion in Dashamao Hutong with only front and back feet.

And before they came back, the conflict between the little emperor and the queen mother had already spread in the capital like a whirlwind under Feng Bao's deliberate connivance.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng's study was full of people. However, it is not the scholars and waiters who often come and go in the past that are full of executives, but all young people - Zhang Juzheng's five adult or near-adult sons are all here, and the only outsider is Wang Fulin. The Zhang Jingxiu brothers, who have listened to many versions of the rumors, after listening to Wang Fulin's lecture and Zhang Juzheng's explanation of the mother-son conflict, some were drenched in cold sweat, some were pale, and some clenched their teeth...... Even Zhang Maoxiu, who has always been able to control the eight-sided exquisiteness, only felt trembling.

Since the emperor hated Feng Bao so much, didn't he hate their father Zhang Juzheng the same?

Zhang Juzheng just explained the current situation to his sons, but he didn't want to talk too much about the deeper things behind it - even now, it was already a leak of forbidden Chinese. But now, if he doesn't say anything, the situation will not be good in the future, and maybe there will be no such opportunity. He calmly ordered them, even to his grandmother and mother, not to mention his wife, so he withdrew all of them, and then looked at Wang Fulin and said, "What did you say when you went to see the emperor?" And when you came to see me before, there were any things you hidden, all of which I told directly! ”

Although Wang Fulin had already said a lot when he came to see him before, it was the news that the palace might send someone to summon Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng must know when he met the queen mother or the emperor, and he also omitted a lot of very important details. For example, the real reason for his impeachment of Feng Bao, for example, the hypocrisy and grievance between him and Zhang Sijiao, for example, how he got Zhang Taizheng into Feng Bao's hands.

Even Zhang Juzheng, who had an extremely deep understanding of Feng Bao and Zhang Siwei, heard that Wang Fulin had greeted Feng Bao before impeaching him, and on the one hand he had formed an alliance with Zhang Siwei under the city, and on the other hand, he had cheated him behind his back, and he still couldn't help but glare at Wang Fulin fiercely.

"Do you know that there are such great changes in the palace and outside the palace this time, if you, the culprit, are known, what a crime!"

"Yuanfu is wrong, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, is the second assistant Zhang Ge old can continue to forbear? Or can Gonggong Feng continue to forbear? Or can the emperor forbear? No one. As for me, do I have control over these events? I just added a straw after the camel's back had already weighed too much weight on it. Since it is going to explode sooner or later, does it still need to be said that it will explode while it is still influential, or when it loses control and can only be slaughtered by others? ”

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng sighed and looked at him with an extremely complicated look, Wang Fulin said briskly: "As for myself, just like I said to Gonggong Feng, I was a lazy person, and after this incident, I am ready to travel all over the world, live a few years of leisure, and prepare to be an old lady in the future, not so ambitious." Yuanfu's decrees have been mentioned to me before, some are beneficial to the country, and some are beneficial to the people, but with all due respect, the others are fine, but please think twice about rectifying the study and politics. Over the years, there have been many private studies in the world, and there may indeed be such and such shortcomings in empty talk and mistreating the country, but the official learning has been in a slump for many years, and private learning must not be easily destroyed. Otherwise, everyone will be golden, and the three of them will become tigers, and they will be infamous for a thousand years! ”

This is the only condition mentioned by Mr. Ke and Mr. Fang when they went to Beijing to see him, and Wang Fulin knows more deeply that among Zhang Juzheng's many decrees, this is the most criticized point, even if what Zhang Juzheng wants to do is to unify his thinking and suppress empty talk, which may be good from the starting point, but for Shilin, who has been used to firing guns, he can't stand it after all, so he simply said it directly at this moment.

For Zhang Juzheng, those things that can only be implemented with the help of the monarchy may be able to be restrained a little when the reliance on the monarchy has collapsed greatly.

At the same time, for a long time to come, Zhang Juzheng may not have the leisure to reconcile yin and yang, and he will have to be busy just cleaning up the mess, and he will probably be able to live for two more years, right?

As for him, if he succeeds, he will retire, otherwise will he have to work hard for the emperor for the rest of his life? Just having the three previous impeachment notes as the foundation, this reputation is enough for him to use for a lifetime.

"At a young age, you are even more oily than those old officials!"

said this, but Zhang Juzheng still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he has always trusted Wang Fulin, the other party actually moved left and right under the wrestling of many forces, which contributed to this jaw-dropping scene today, even if he couldn't easily reuse this destructive disaster star. After pondering for a while, he said carefully and carefully: "I will give more consideration to the private learning of the world, so that I will not move easily, and the same is true for scholars." However, now there are many meritorious people, and there are few official vacancies, and there is even one county and three counties in the southeast. ”

"Yes, but if the tax collection is used as the test standard, how many officials who exploit land will take advantage of this to jump into the court, and how many really diligent officials will sink to the bottom of the bureaucracy, or even be demoted and fined?"

"You're really used to me!" Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he had a straight face, but seeing Wang Fulin smiling and groaning without fear, thinking that this guy was about to pick a son and resign, he couldn't help but hate it a little, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically, "You are already in charge of the imperial history before twenty-five, and the future is promising, even if you can't enter the cabinet, Jiuqing may not be hopeless, can you really give up everything?" ”

"Gensuke, is this a test of me, or is it true? There are less than fifty elders, but there are few Shangshu less than fifty, why is this? Because the elder can be promoted by virtue of the emperor, he can be promoted from the Hanlin Qing noble, and he can be promoted by the people, but he can be a scholar, and there is no real merit, who will buy your account? Thinking that Zhang Han and Zhang Ziwen had such profound qualifications and such good political achievements, but he was still criticized as a secretary of the ministry, was it not because he couldn't compare with the first two in Tingtui? I have never been a pro-people official, I have a high but unstable start, rather than being an official in the future, it is better to be famous and love the landscape, anyway, I still have a son. ”

"Crooked!"

For example, a person of Zhang Juzheng's age may train his son to the point that his eyes are not eyes and his nose is not his nose, but when he talks to friends and colleagues behind his back, most of them will show off their children and grandchildren, which is also another great pleasure of successful people. Although Zhang Juzheng knows that his sons are not really impeccable, including the second son, who also looks at his face, this still can't stop him from recognizing his sons. However, Wang Fulin, who was about the same age as his son, was boasting about his son with a smile, which really made him feel the urge to point his nose and scold.

What this kid said he wanted to be an old lady was, he really didn't just talk about it!

"I really don't know what to say about you...... Well, it's late at night, even if there is a brocade guard to clean up for you, you should go! Zhang Juzheng finally gave the eviction order, but when he saw Wang Fulin standing up with a smile and saying goodbye, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "If your adopted son takes the exam in the future, as long as he can convince people in historical articles, there will always be a second-class position!" ”

If Wang Fulin didn't let Jinbao go down to participate in the examination so early, it was because Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, was too strong, and the brand of Zhang Dang on his body was too deep, so he deliberately avoided suspicion, then now he hears Zhang Juzheng's promise. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile.

This year, it's not that you can be named on the gold list with only eight buckets high, there is the unlucky Tang Yin and Tang Bohu in front, and there is the acting mountain chief of Nanjing Chongzheng Academy in the back, Jiao Hong, who is famous in the southeast, didn't Tang Xianzu also fall off the list last year? Maybe you are unknown but you can be among the top three, but once you are really evil and become a powerful person, it is very likely that you will not even be able to enter the top three!

If Wang Fulin knew that among the most powerful people in history, there was Jiao Hong, and the person who promoted the two-room and one-hall sedan chair was also Jiao Hong's first, because Jiao Dashan, who was only the champion in his early fifties, did not even get a jinshi during Zhang Juzheng's reign, then he would definitely feel that he was more prescient.

Quietly returning to his home from Zhang's Mansion through the night forbidden capital, Wang Fulin was a little lonely in the empty room. It's just that even he can't be sure how far things have gotten this time. And just now, although Zhang Juzheng made a corresponding promise, whether it can be achieved or not is just that he thinks that the Empress Dowager Li in the palace can suppress the little emperor, so he does not regret sending Xiaobei away. When he was bathing and changing clothes and lying on the bed, he even secretly thought that after Feng Bao had offended Zhu Yijun to death, would he continue to be loyal like most eunuchs, or would he take risks to protect himself?

In any case, he has impeached Feng Bao, impeached Zhang Siwei, and impeached Liu Shouyou, and he has already made considerable foreshadowing on the side of Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, Zhang Hong, and even the little emperor.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain for his hard work in the past two years?

However, Wang Fulin, who had already instructed him to send a leave slip to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in advance, did not wake up from a deep night's sleep, but was forced to wake up. When he saw the person standing by the bed clearly, he swallowed back the complaint on his lips, but he still asked in a somewhat unkind tone: "You don't go to the Liuke Corridor early in the morning, and come to me to disturb people's sleep?" ”

"Are you still sleeping?" Cheng Naixuan thought of how much heart he had for this guy yesterday, but he was so easy to stay up until he came home and killed him directly, but Wang Fulin didn't come back at all, and he didn't give himself a breath when he came back, and he was still thinking about sleeping at this time, so he couldn't wait to scold this guy by the collar. After dragging Wang Fulin up alive and dead, he gritted his teeth and said, "There is a big incident in the palace, and when the door is opened early in the morning, someone will be sent to Xuan Yuanfu to enter the palace, and the old lady of Cisheng accused the emperor of taking people to rush to Cining Palace in the middle of the night!" ”

“……”

Feng Bao has been completely pushed to the opposite side, Zhang Hong is still recuperating from his injuries, the emperor has no stable strategist like Zhang Cheng, no cunning careerist like Zhang Whale, there are only two or three puppies and kittens around him, such as Zhang Ming and Zhang Wei, who are at the bottom of the ceremonial supervisor ranking, the purpose is not to be a dog-headed military advisor for the emperor, but just want to be on the throne himself, so what decent thing can he do?

After Wang Fulin was stunned for an initial moment, he suddenly laughed, and then in Cheng Naixuan's ghost-like gaze, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's my business?" ”

Cheng Naixuan, who was stunned for a while, stared at his friend who had known him for many years, and asked very puzzledly: "The emperor once sent someone to entrap you, if there is really something ...... this?"

Although under the influence of Wang Fulin, Cheng Naixuan was not so stupid and loyal, but he could not easily say the two words that could be abolished, so in case of success, he was stuck, and he didn't know how to organize his sentences for a while. But he didn't say it, but Wang Fulin didn't have such a big taboo, so he said it directly for him.

"I was summoned to the Qianqing Palace yesterday, and then I took a stern stance in front of the old lady Cisheng, went to see the emperor, and persuaded the emperor to apologize, and the eunuch Li Yong of Cining Palace was guarding outside the whole process. As for what happens later, what does that have to do with me? Even if it was rumored that the emperor had enveloped me, at that time he was a king, I was a minister, and besides, did I do anything? In addition to impeaching Feng Bao, Zhang Siwei, and Liu Shouyou, what else have I done? Didn't you? If I lose my official position because of the impeachment of Feng Bao, wouldn't that just jump out of the whirlpool this time? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin asked the stunned Cheng Naixuan, "What time is it?" ”

Cheng Naixuan was startled after arriving at the Sixth Science Corridor, and then pretended to be sick and urgently sneaked out to report to Wang Fulin, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin to have such an attitude, and replied a little dumbly at this time: "It's right." ”

It is ten o'clock......

Wang Fulin had already woken up to Cheng Naixuan's return from skipping class in the Sixth Branch Corridor, and after thinking about it, he said: "There must be a lot of things in the palace, no matter what excuse you make to come back, it's better to continue to nest at home." Such a big thing, those pavilion elders have a good mouthful, if the small fish and shrimp are mixed in, it is easy to suffer, and it is good to settle down. ”

Cheng Naixuan didn't bother to care about Wang Fulin's trivial matter of attributing the two of them to small fish and shrimp. He snorted angrily, and while making up his mind to squat at home, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to send a letter to Master Li and the three of them?" ”

"No, the six departments are in the Thousand Steps Corridor, and they are not in Miyagi, and they are not like us are Kedao officials, as long as they are stable, they will be fine. I asked for leave early yesterday, and you slipped back after you went in the morning, and if you continue to connect with others, you will be criticized, so it's better to go with the flow. Speaking of this, Wang Fulin rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "The emperor has rushed to Cining Palace, I don't know what the battle situation was last night?" Tsk, it's a shame I didn't see it. (To be continued.) )
