Chapter 899: The Boat of Zhang's Mansion

If Wang Fulin knew what Zhang Ning was thinking, he would definitely scoff at it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nonsense, he once fully understood through Zhang Hong that Zhang Whale framed Zhang Cheng before, and Zhang Siwei also fell all the causes and consequences of the bad luck incident.

After being very cleverly designed by Zhang Hong and Feng Bao, the emperor didn't even believe Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng, the two people who had been with him the longest, and several newly promoted eunuchs wanted to climb up, but found that the momentum was not good and began to play tricks, can this little emperor believe them? When the thunder is furious, it's strange that this kind of unsympathetic guy doesn't sweep the floor out!

However, Wang Fulin did not get carried away because he guessed that he had directly caused another purge of the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he left the palace, he first went to the Zhang University Scholar's Mansion in Dashamao Hutong. As always, he stepped into Zhang's Mansion under the envious eyes of many officials waiting to be received, but the feeling in his heart was not so wonderful.

The reason is very simple, the more he rises to prominence now, the more he will be hated in the future. Who would have thought that Zhang Juzheng, who is so prosperous and young at the moment, would have such a short life? And who would have thought that Emperor Wanli, who has always been devoted to Zhang Juzheng and assisted Mr. Zhang, would be so ruthless when he liquidated the Zhang family?

As for Zhang Juzheng himself, who let him leave no room at all, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and treat the emperor as his own son and nephew, but tragically have no ambition to usurp the throne at all, or have no ability to usurp the throne?

These chaotic thoughts were spinning in his mind, and when Wang Fulin came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a hall that he had never set foot in before. He raised his eyebrows a little puzzled, only to see that the person leading the way was no longer the steward he had seen before, but an obviously elderly mother.

Knowing that he was distracted before, he didn't even notice when he was going to change people, so he couldn't help but think about what kind of place this was. But soon, he understood that he didn't have to guess.

Because he entered the hall, he saw that there were five spacious main rooms, and the laughter and laughter in it were constantly coming, several of which were very familiar to him, and occasionally the laughter of Mrs. Zhao. Although it is impossible for Lord Zhang Juzheng to entertain his relatives like Lao Laizi, Zhang Jingxiu's grandsons may not be enough. Thinking of this, he showed a hint of a smile, and before the mother went to the door to pass the word to the girl standing there, he stopped the person, and then asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Tai was tired from the journey before, and she couldn't even enter the palace to thank her, but she can actually see people now?" ”

"Back to Master Wang, Mrs. Tai rested first when she got home, but because Imperial Doctor Zhu said that sleeping too long at once was not good for the elderly, so I got up in more than an hour, and after bathing and changing, I ate something, and called the young masters and grandmothers to come over and talk together." The mother knew that Wang Fulin was not an outsider, and her answer was extremely detailed, "I heard that Master Wang, you are here, the master happened to be in front of Mrs. Tai, and when I heard only such a sentence, Mrs. Tai asked the master to invite you to sit together." ”

Wang Fulin spent a lot of time with Mrs. Zhao along the way, and at this time, when he heard that people had recovered from the fatigue of the carriage and horses so quickly, he couldn't help but admire the good body of this Mrs. Zhao. So, he nodded, and when someone reported in front of the door, there was no movement inside, and then the curtain of the door was raised high, and it turned out to be Zhang Jianxiu, the fourth young master of the Zhang family, himself, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not a rare guest, can the fourth young master be so polite?"

"Grandmother opened her mouth, my legs are fast, so I will come out to meet you first." Zhang Jianxiu squeezed his eyes as he spoke, and after letting Wang Fulin enter the door, he whispered, "Father came back half an hour earlier than you, and you have been in the Qianqing Palace for so long?" ”

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Jianxiu's age in the Zhang family was not up or down, the three brothers were all married, and the eldest Zhang Jingxiu's son would run all over the ground. The next two younger brothers, Zhang Yunxiu and Zhang Jingxiu, are a teenager and a child, and Zhang Jianxiu is not yet married, so theoretically he belongs to the point where he is not yet an adult. At this moment, seeing that there was no one on the seat in front of the screen, but behind the bead curtains on both sides, the figures could be seen shaking, and the sound of words kept coming, so he smiled and said with a pun: "The emperor is also quite concerned about Mrs. Tai. It was also mentioned before that the two old ladies turned around to receive Mrs. Tai with a family gift. ”

Even as the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Jianxiu was also subject to quite strict control when he was studying in Jiangling before, and his father strictly restricted him from going out and making friends after he went to the capital, so he didn't have much sense of power at all. Moreover, he has no chance and cannot meet the emperor, for Wang Fulin, who is only a little older than himself, in terms of his status in the court, he is definitely not inferior to his second brother Zhang Sixiu, who is on the top of the list, he is naturally a little envious. But at this moment, Wang Fulin's last sentence made his eyes widen, and he was still a little confused until he brought people in.

The two queen mothers want to meet their grandmothers with family gifts? Oh my God, what an honor!

Wang Fulin just took a way to dismiss the curious boy as quickly as possible, and temporarily prevaricated Zhang Jianxiu. At this moment, the rest of the children in the house avoided except for Mrs. Zhao, who was a lot older, and Mrs. Wang, Zhang Juzheng's wife. And he stepped forward with a smile and saluted one by one, and then burst out a series of words very smoothly: "Seeing that Mrs. Tai is not tired at all, and she is in good spirits, I am relieved." In vain the emperor's order, Lord Shoufu entrusted it, Gonggong Wei and the juniors around you escorted all the way, and Gonggong Zhang and I went to pick it up again. ”

"I heard that the imperial doctor is also a national player recommended by you, and it's really good." After Mrs. Zhao got up from a nap, she drank a bowl of medicinal porridge, and she really felt energetic at this time. smiled and beckoned Wang Fulin to step forward, and she complained, "Didn't you say before that you would bring your daughter-in-law to show me?" Why did you come alone? ”

"I just came out of the palace and came non-stop. If you want to see me, tomorrow when I go to the Metropolitan Inspectorate, I will ask her to bring my sister with her, and she will be idle at home anyway. ”

Zhang Juzheng keenly felt that Wang Fulin seemed to be deliberately emphasizing the four words non-stop, his eyes flashed, but he did not interrupt the gossip between his mother and Wang Fulin, but glanced at his wife, Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang knew what her husband meant, and she was coaxing her mother-in-law like a child. In this way, when Wang Fulin said that he had something to tell Zhang Juzheng, Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said, "It's rare to be at home, but you still have to take care of those big things outside." In this way, you go to the study in front of you and say your words, but it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and you can bring me all your daughters-in-law and sisters! ”

For such a request, Wang Fulin had no choice but to agree. When he followed Zhang Juzheng to retire first and went out of the main house, he saw that Zhang Juzheng was acting on his behalf, and instructed the mother who had brought him in before to go to Wang's Mansion to pick up people in person, he had nothing to say, so he simply followed behind him silently, but he didn't want Zhang Juzheng to walk forward while opening his mouth and saying: "When Imperial Doctor Zhu checked my mother's pulse before, I said that fortunately, my mother's diet was light in the past seven or eight days, and all of them were water-rich vegetables, vegetables and fruits, not those greasy meats, otherwise the stomach and intestines would not be able to adapt to the dry climate of the north. At least a few days of recuperation, thanks to your thoughtfulness. ”

This one...... It seems to be Zhang Ning's credit? At that time, he thought that the Zhang family knew that Mrs. Zhao was a lot old, and he would definitely invite someone who was good at medicinal diet conditioning to follow him, so he really didn't care much......

Wang Fulin was a little embarrassed, but thinking about Zhang Ning being a eunuch and Feng Bao's person, he had made it clear before that some credits and favors would be taken for nothing, so it was better to give them to him, so he was cheeky and humble. When he followed Zhang Juzheng to the door of the study, he saw a somewhat unfamiliar scholar standing at the door, and he couldn't help but glance at the other party a few more times.

But after entering the study, he only heard Zhang Juzheng say: "This is the son of a lady who accompanies the room, he was born deaf and dumb, but he is very honest." Now that my father is dead and my mother is widowed, I transferred him to the study a few days ago. ”

Knowing that something happened to You Qi in the past, Zhang Juzheng would definitely be more cautious in employing people, and in addition, people could be called the sons of the Zhang family, so he naturally would not express his opinion. After sitting down, he didn't need Zhang Juzheng to speak, he didn't have any bias, and said from beginning to end how he and Zhang Ning reported to Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun to welcome Mrs. Zhao after Zhang Juzheng left. He clearly saw that when he said that he went to ask Qian Pu himself because of the sedan chair he had offered, he saw Zhang Juzheng suddenly change color, but he quickly calmed down.

"You've got a heart."

is a simple four words, but it seems to exhaust Zhang Juzheng's spirit. He rubbed his temples wearily, and it took him a moment before he sat up straight again, and he talked more.

Since there are still so many idioms about the poison of rumors, it is conceivable that it is impossible to beware of such a thing as rumors. The so-called defense of the people's mouth, more than the defense of Sichuan, this sentence certainly has its merits, but you must know that uncontrolled public opinion can also cause a catastrophe! If you don't say it, I really didn't expect that although Qian Pu was a little flattering about this matter, and I didn't care about accepting it, it could be spread so outrageously. Oh, regardless of what Qian Pu said for the time being, if it is really a sedan chair carried by thirty-two people, with sixteen sedan chair drivers in front and behind, can others still be allowed to walk on the official road? ”

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Juzheng didn't need his own support at this time, so he was silent. But immediately after, his face changed.

"Since I was promoted to the first assistant, I have indeed never broken off personal relationships, broken old relationships, and given gifts by others, whether it is a thing or a person, as long as it is not too excessive, I mostly smile and accept it. In the past, the son of heaven was still young, the queen mother was newly widowed, but she didn't understand government affairs, although Feng Shuanglin was red, but he handed it over to me in external government affairs, and never interfered with the cabinet votes. I have such power in my hands, but I still have to flaunt my reputation as clear as water and as cheap as jade, which is too fake. What's more, I am not Haigangfeng, and I never expected to spread it to future generations with honesty and integrity, I only hope to pass it on to future generations an orderly and efficient, and most importantly, rich court in the treasury. ”

Although Zhang Juzheng didn't explain the meaning thoroughly, Wang Fulin still vaguely understood the most important layer of the sound.

Zhang Juzheng was not only the first assistant before, but also the emperor, or the actual helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, if he was really honest and honest at the same time, he was humble and admonished, so that everyone praised the officials and the people...... What will be the attitude of Empress Dowager Li, who has always been Zhang Juzheng's strong support? What kind of attitude will Feng Bao have?

Of course, he didn't think that Zhang Juzheng's unrestrained behavior was just self-defilement. In terms of personal life, Zhang Juzheng is a person who enjoys what he deserves and never wrongs himself, which is similar to most mainstream officials today - people like Hai Rui who are harsh on themselves are rare in the entire Ming official system.

And such enjoyment, relying only on money and rewards, is absolutely impossible. In addition to gold coins, silver taels, treasure banknotes, sheep wine and all kinds of luxurious brocades, there are often a lot of more ordinary silk silks that can be directly discounted, which are much stronger than ordinary officials, but for so many years, they are worth a total of three or four thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, after the death of Zhang Juzheng, the history recorded that Zhang Juzheng copied out 100,000 taels of silver, which is estimated to be received as a gift on the one hand, and the income from the acres of land donated by Jiangling on the other hand.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to live a decent life, in addition to tying up the boat of the Hui merchant early like him and saving a rich and solid family foundation, the other is the gray income that most officials agree on, and there is absolutely no third way. After all, the emperor may reward the meritorious heroes with a lot of money, but he will never be so generous to civil officials, and rewarding a mansion is a generous one.

However, for Zhang Juzheng's last sentence, which seemed like a grand wish, Wang Fulin also knew that nine of them were true and one false, or eight true and one false. The wish is true, but there is another factor in the purpose, of course, Zhang Juzheng wants to prove that his first assistant is stronger than Gao Gong, so as to leave a name in history. And the most important thing is to slap those Qingliu who oppose him and let them know that it is I, Zhang Juzheng, who can turn the tide!

Wang Fulin just thought about it in his heart and didn't say a word. At times like these, he can always appear to be more calm than others.

"Mrs. Tai has been accompanying her on the halfway from Jiangling to Zhending Mansion, and if the emperor summons him, he naturally knows what to say. But this last journey, thanks to the emperor, ordered you to go. Zhang Juzheng paused, as if he was carefully speaking, "Qian Pu, although he is flawed, but his article is quite good, I will transfer him to serve as a deputy envoy." However, if you use some means, you must find out who is behind Liu Shouyou! ”

Wang Fulin didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to give Qian Pu such a fat difference this time, and opened his mouth to object, after all, this kind of errand like mentioning the great grandmaster has always been what countless people want to do, will Qian Pu's reputation be difficult to move an inch? But after thinking about it, since Zhang Juzheng wanted to rectify the study and politics, he would definitely think that people like Qian Pu were easy to use, so he simply did not object.

After all, Qian Pu seems to be his person, although it seems strange that the dignified prefect is attached to a royal history......

As for Liu Shouyou's matter, Wang Fulin did not hesitate and agreed awe-inspiringly.

Because, this is a matter of whether you can eat and sleep peacefully in the future!
