After half a month, the probationary imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was awarded in two batches, which is equivalent to the probationary workers officially taking off the hat on their heads and becoming regular workers, and there was a joyful atmosphere in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The number of people left behind has changed from the original ten to sixteen, and the six people who escaped the catastrophe of the ghost gate naturally had to go to thank Chen Ji, the top boss of the left capital imperial history, and then jointly came to thank Wang Fulin.

In any case, if Wang Fulin had not written a letter, if Chen Sanmo's advice from the Ministry of Officials was adopted, they would have to bear the stigma of being kicked back to the Ministry of Officials for the rest of their lives, so how could they have any future?

As for these imperial historians who are about to officially become colleagues, Wang Fulin behaved very indifferently. Although he had carefully investigated the resumes of these people before writing the book, and inquired about their temperament through the official Hu Quan, he did not expect that he would be able to attract people to his command by relying on such a single grace. As far as the imperial history under his own hands is concerned, he can't say that he has all of them in his hands, let alone these people?

You must know that to say something unpleasant, the most unconscionable person in these years is the Kedao Speaker, and the one who is most advertised as not being selfish is also the Kedao Speaker. If you help someone overturn the case and then promote someone after they are convicted for their words, it is very likely that they will be stabbed by them when you turn around; And if you are impeached by them, when you become a high-ranking official in the future, you have to be an adult and not remember that the villain used them, otherwise you are not measured!

This is the lesson that Wang Fulin summed up when he read a little bit of Ming history with interest in his later life, so if it is not necessary, he should not be such an indiscriminate person.

This time, he suddenly took the hand to carry Chen Sanmo, and it was entirely because he thought about himself.

As for helping people...... Hehe, just in passing!

Therefore, Wang Jiguang, who was secretly watching the excitement outside the door, immediately slipped away and flashed back to his straight room when he heard that everyone inside was about to quit, and when he described the scene to a few colleagues, he said with a little bitterness: "Obviously I have received the great favor of the master in charge, but they all behave righteously, as if this private favor is insignificant, I don't want to think about what they were like when they heard that they were going to be swept out of the house before!" If they really have such backbone, they can not come this time, no one forced them to come over to thank the master for his outspoken virtue. ”

The trial of the imperial history is actually awarded to supervise the imperial history, which means that the patrol quota recommended by Wang Fulin before has now officially taken effect. Wang Yanchen will patrol Guangdong in the near future, and Ma Chaoyang is about to set off to patrol Nanzhili. For them, who were still new jinshi last year, this is naturally a step to the sky - of course, it is incomparable with Wang Fulin, who was recommended by Zhang Juzheng to patrol Guangdong when he was a new jinshi and served as the head of the imperial history when he came back. But there is only one Wang Fulin in this court, who is troublesome but has made steady progress, and there is only one Wang Jiguang in the imperial history of the five Guangdong provinces, and there are some unrealistic expectations, but others are very satisfied.

Therefore, for Wang Jiguang's seemingly grievances for Wang Fulin, but in fact he slandered the other six imperial histories, no one answered. However, Wang Jiguang's loud voice inevitably spread to the outside world, and those white-clothed calligraphers who were originally biased towards Wang Fulin naturally circulated in private. When this kind of rumor turned a corner and spread from Zheng Yougui to Wang Fulin's ears, Wang Zhangdao suddenly slapped the table angrily, called Wang Jiguang to come in and scolded a dog, and finally made a warning in a righteous and stern manner.

"You feel insincere when people come to thank you, and you feel ungrateful when people don't come, so what do you want them to do? I was originally impartial, I don't need the gratitude of others, and others don't need to thank me, if you talk nonsense to me again and cause trouble, if there is a big difference in patrol next year, then let it be to others! ”

Wang Jiguang knew that those careful thoughts had been seen by Wang Fulin, and his face turned red for a while. As he exited the room, he glared viciously at the officials who had come in and out, and then flicked his sleeves back to his room. He and Wang Fulin's words in and out were spread everywhere in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, naturally each said their own thing, and in private, some people turned over the old accounts of Wang Jiguang and Wang Fulin, and many people changed their words and sighed, saying that Wang Fulin was magnanimous, and he wanted Wang Jiguang to peek at his handwriting in private to impeach him first, and he didn't even care about such a big thing, and he didn't even make a stumbling block for Wang Jiguang in the evaluation.

This little turmoil and episode in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a small matter compared to the little emperor officially accepting Lu Tiaoyang's complaint and sending someone to escort him back to his hometown. Since Zhang Juzheng squeezed out Gao Gong, angered Gao Yi to death, and invoked Lu Tiaoyang into the cabinet, the pattern of Zhang and Lu dominating the cabinet lasted for several years, and finally ended because Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet. Even now that Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing have entered the cabinet successively, many people still think that if it weren't for Lu Tiaoyang, who was once considered a candidate for the first assistant because Zhang Juzheng lost his father, maybe this cabinet deputy would still be able to do it safely and steadily, and he would not resign from illness repeatedly.

Few people still remember that before Zhang Juzheng encountered the multiple-choice question of whether to worry or win love, Lu Tiaoyang had already resigned due to illness twice!

Compared with the grand occasion when Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown to bury his father, the Son of Heaven and the Virgin Mary sent their servants to send each other off, rewarded countless people, and sent hundreds of civil and military officials to the suburbs one after another, Lu Tiaoyang's departure from Beijing seemed a little bleak. After Lu Tiaoyang's imperial greeting and resignation, when relatives and friends who knew each other saw him off outside the city gate, most of them said a few words, sent a copy of Cheng Yi and left in a hurry. Faced with this scene, the family members who escorted the master home were naturally quite angry.

You must know that Lu Tiaoyang has taken the main examination twice, Longqing was the deputy chief examiner in the fifth year, and Wanli was the main examiner in the second year.

However, as the carriage gradually set off, Lu Tiaoyang himself was relieved, it was a sense of peace of mind that he finally retreated. During the Renxuan period, the famous pavilion elders seemed to have retreated, but Yang Shiqi's son was beheaded for murder, and although Yang Rong's descendants had hereditary official positions, they were regarded as targets in decline. During the Tianshun period, such as Xu Youzhen, the speculative first assistant was even more discredited. When they arrived in Jiajing, although Xia Yan, Yan Song and others said that they were very good for a while when they were in the position of first assistant, they ended up extremely miserable. Compared with the fate of these elders, the scholars have encountered this situation much less.

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Juzheng was more assertive than any of the first assistants in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he thought of the fate of those predecessors in the past, and after euphemistically persuading Zhang Juzheng but without any effect, he thought about retreating bravely more than once. Now although Zhang Juzheng is suspicious, at least he has retreated smoothly, even if it doesn't look so beautiful, but he is willing!

Just when Lu Tiaoyang seemed to be asleep and fell into deep thought on the bumpy car, he suddenly vaguely heard a low noise outside, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the carriage didn't know when it stopped. He lifted the curtains and looked at them, and when he saw that the housekeepers were stopping two young men on horseback, he squinted his eyes and looked closely, and recognized them at once, and after a moment of hesitation, he exclaimed, "Let them come." ”

Not long after leaving the city gate, the coachman revealed that Lu Tiaoyang had fallen asleep, and when the head of the family, Lu An, had just stopped people, he deliberately lowered his voice, just for fear of alarming the master. At this time, hearing Lu Tiaoyang's shout, he reluctantly got out of the way. But when the two of them passed by him, he still couldn't help but spit on the ground and scolded in a low voice: "The generation who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, what kind of intentions do you have to pretend to be now!" ”

Although this voice is very soft, although Lu Tiaoyang is not young, his ears are not back, and his face suddenly became flat: "Lu An, if you commit another offense, you are not from the Lu family!" ”

Lu An was suddenly silent, and watched the two people he had been holding back for a long time come to the carriage one after the other, and gave Lu Tiaoyang a deep look at the carriage. Even though he had been solemnly warned by his master just now, he still scolded the two of them a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, especially Wang Fulin, who was at the forefront, was like an enemy of life and death in his heart.

I think that Zhang Juzheng was impeached because of his protégé Liu Tai, and finally dismissed him from his post and exiled him through the little emperor, but he directly killed people. But Lu Tiaoyang was also given a copy by Wang Fulin, but in the end it was as if there was no such thing, Lu Tiaoyang never mentioned it, Wang Fulin didn't say that he paid the price, he didn't even have an apology, where is this still a little bit of a protégé?

"The teacher returned to his hometown today, and the students did not dare to see each other at the gate of the city, so they had to stay on this necessary road." After Wang Fulin saluted, he continued, "The student knows that what he does is inevitably unpopular, but he still came with Jinhua, but as for Cheng Yi, he didn't dare to send it to beg for scolding. ”

If Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan really offered a generous Cheng Yi when they saw them off, Lu Tiaoyang would definitely turn his face, and at this time, hearing Wang Fulin laugh at himself so much, he showed a faint smile instead. Although Wang Fulin's impeachment of himself last year was indeed a great rebellion by his protégé from the perspective of the master, he knew very well that it was not the same as Liu Tai's impeachment of Zhang Juzheng. Wang Fulin seemed to push him into the abyss, who was already in dire straits, but in fact, he was targeting Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, and used this way to muddy the water to drag him out of the original target.

"You have a heart."

Lu Tiaoyang smiled slightly, and the clouds were light: "Wanli didn't choose Shu Jishi in the second year, except for the first three people in the Hanlin Academy, one of you is in charge, and the other is in the middle of the matter, and you can be regarded as the best among the new jinshi at that time." In the future, in the court, remember to be cautious in words and deeds, I, the teacher, will only be an idler in the countryside in the future, so you don't need to worry about it. ”

"The teacher is in the court, we naturally don't dare to go against your wishes, and we don't dare to send anything during the New Year's holidays, but the teacher will be in the field in the future, if we don't care, it will be too much to go." Cheng Naixuan said with a hippie smile, and then without waiting for Lu Tiaoyang to refuse, he took two steps forward to the car window, lowered his voice and said, "It's not that the teacher doesn't know, once the cabinet elders live in the countryside in these years, they are just a commoner in front of their parents and officials, and when they meet some officials who don't know how high or low, they even have to take a stand in front of you." We don't dare to do anything else, but we can give you a small gift during the New Year's holidays, but also to support you, right? ”

Wang Fulin saw that Lu Tiaoyang frowned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be angry, and pulled Cheng Naixuan, who was talking more and more unlikely, behind him, and then said: "Teacher doesn't need to listen to Jinhua's nonsense, you have orders, we should obey them." Senior Brother Lu inherited the mantle of his teacher, and his career will definitely be smooth in the future. This trip to Guangxi is far away, and the teacher is invited to cherish it, so we say goodbye. ”

Lu Tiaoyang saw that the two of them were laughing and the other was serious, but they could hear the kindness in the words, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then said: "Be a good official, be a good person, go back!" ”

Seeing that the Lu family's convoy was gradually setting off, except for Lu Tiaoyang's carriage, there were only seven or eight family members and a mule cart packed with cages, Wang Fulin secretly thought that Lu Tiaoyang was indeed well versed in low-key ways. But Cheng Naixuan was still worried about the fierce glaring that Lu An had just given when he was leaving, and touched his nose with some grievances and said, "That family doesn't treat you as an enemy, why are you staring at me?" The teacher is also too high, who doesn't know that there are local officials and unscrupulous officials in these years, and those officials who still have the possibility of recovery, they may still pay respect, but the teacher is there at this age, and he is sick, God knows if someone will be smart and figure out what he wants to be difficult for him? ”

Knowing that Cheng Naixuan was deliberately playing treasure, Wang Fulin was too lazy to take care of this kid, so after stretching his waist, he got on the horse, turned the horse's head and went straight back to the city. Cheng Naixuan had to hurry up and chase after him, and after meeting with a few entourages, he said that Chen Sanmo had been looking at no one in the Sixth Branch Corridor recently, and he had nothing to find fault with, but he seemed to treat him as air.

"If something is abnormal, he is a demon, he obviously hates you to death, he knows that we have a good relationship, but he is still in such a situation, it is really abnormal, he must be calculating something in that belly full of bad water!"

"If I was the one who fired at him first, it's normal for him to have a bitter hatred. It would be even better if he could collude with Zhang Siwei. Wang Fulin was dumbfounded when he heard this, so he deliberately said, "If you think about this carefully, you should be able to figure it out." ”

Unlike him, who has nothing else to worry about, Zhang Siwei is now doing more and making more mistakes, doing less is also wrong, and not doing more is wrong! Zhang Siwei is without Wang Chonggu, and now his status is in jeopardy, so he either has to win over the backbone of Zhang's party like Chen Sanmo, or he has to find someone available among his protégés. Just as he could choose to be a foreign official but had to be stationed in Beijing, because he was afraid that Zhang Siwei would target himself after gaining power, Zhang Siwei was also afraid that he would stab him, and he couldn't give up his high position as a pavilion elder and return to his hometown to live in peace like Lu Tiaoyang.

And before Zhang Juzheng returned, he could be quiet for a while.

When Wang Fulin and his entourage, who were fast at the horse, saw You'anmen in the outer city from a distance, they passed by a carriage.

In the carriage, Zhang Sanniang, who had a haggard face, opened the curtains and looked at the sunny sky, only feeling agitated. She went to Zhang Hong with the determination to die, thinking that it would be impossible to escape death after the deed, but she didn't expect Zhang Hong to prepare a cage and send someone to send her out of the city and send her to Guangdong in the name of her distant niece at home. No matter how far the mountain is or how far the road is, it is better than the most aggrieved Jingshi here!
