At the end of June, the heat gradually receded, and it was still hot and dry during the day, but at night, the cool breeze was blowing, and the weak people had to cover a thin quilt when they fell asleep. Although there was a curfew at night and the big fences on the key streets had been closed, there were too many dignitaries and dignitaries at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and at night, there were still the sound of mule carts or horses passing through the streets, and many officials' mansions were brightly lit, and it was obviously another sleepless night.

Among them, the mansion of Wang Daokun, the right attendant of the military department, has been like this for several days. Since receiving the letter from Wang Fulin that he was urgently sent back from Liaodong, the three Wang Daokun brothers were all dumbfounded. Wang Daokun's original intention was to let Wang Fulin go to Jizhen during the candidate period after winning the Jinshi, so that he would be familiar with his old friend Qi Jiguang, and when he needed help in the future, he would not be too unfamiliar; As for Wang Fulin taking the initiative to go to Liaodong, he also agreed, because he himself had visited Liaodong at the beginning, and he knew Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang, a pair of civil and military affairs.

As a result, Wang Fulin's calamity star aura was simply too blazing, and he could cause such a big thing if he ran to Liaodong, where he was unfamiliar with his life!

Because Zhang Xueyan's report sent to Jingshi was 600 miles expedited, all the way through the post station, changing horses and not people, so it was only two days later than Wang Fulin's letter plus the family letter, and Wang Daokun didn't have time to think about whether to send it, and Zhang Xueyan's recital had already been sent to the General Administration. So, he couldn't bear it, so he could only send the things to his old boss and best friend Tan Lun, and asked Tan Lun to help him submit them. Next, Li Chengliang's recital was also delivered. Now the court is really a mess.

Who would have thought. stir up this great storm. It turned out to be a new jinshi who just passed last year and has not yet been officially conferred an officer?

At this time, in Wang Daokun's study, in addition to the three brothers Wang Daokun, Wang Daoguan, and Wang Daohui, it is Wang Fulin's father-in-law, Ye Junyao, a member of the Fujian Division of the Ministry of Households. Although Ye Dacang has been in office for less than a year, with his solid style, he has Master Gui, who is proficient in Qian Valley, from Sasuke. As soon as things were handled in an orderly manner, the boss and colleagues couldn't pick out the thorns, and gradually accepted him as a guy who was promoted quite quickly. But he was cautious in front of people, and at this time, in front of people who were more familiar and close to him, his cannon style immediately couldn't help it.

"What's wrong with Flin? How many people have been taken captive by the Jurchens in Liaodong over the past few decades, and now that they want to appease the Jurchens, of course, they must focus on these Ming people! The Li family's father and son only knew that they had beheaded and won the battle exploits, but they didn't know how to rescue these Han slaves who were in dire straits, and now they are embarrassed to point fingers at them! There are also those gossiping officials, except for moving their mouths. What else can they do? Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong, spoke for Fu Lin, saying that this was just in response to his assignment. They are still jumping up and down, it is clear that the drunkard does not mean to drink, it is not for Fu Lin, but for you, Brother Nanming! ”

Wang Daokun rubbed his temples a little worriedly, and did not stop the indignant Ye Cannon, but said thoughtfully: "Don't talk about the topic so much, the matter of Fu Lin is, in the final analysis, a disagreement between Zhang Xueyan and Li Chengliang, but even Lord Shoufu said to Tan Butang in private that if these Han slaves are placed in the Jurchen, they are tantamount to enemies, and when they fight, cutting off the heads of these people is also considered a military merit, and the reward of the court will be too generous." The question is only how much impact this incident will have on the Jurchen tribes, and whether it will make the soldiers and horses of Liaodong throw into the mouse trap when they fight, and the follow-up is a big problem. ”

Wang Daoguan was still sitting on stilts and sitting lazy and leisurely, and sneered at this moment: "Wang Gao has just been in public, and the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is enough in the eyes of some people in the court, in their opinion, instead of making a big move against the Jurchens, it is better to guard against Chahan'er's barbarism, Tainingwei's speed, this is the biggest threat to Liaodong." As for the Jurchens, it's just a small trouble, and the lives of a few Liaodong Han slaves are not their lives, so what do you care about? However, after all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not such a rat generation who has no conscience and calms people, and there are a few who support Fu Lin. ”

"The problem is that Fu Lin has caused such a big trouble before he comes out, and recently someone has turned over all the old accounts he made in the past, such a subordinate, which boss do you say must not be muttered?"

Wang Dao will talk about this, and even Ye Dacang, who is the most protective of his son-in-law, is dumb. Wang Xiaoguan's combat effectiveness, his father-in-law is the most clear, when he was in She County, he was a god blocking and killing God, and the Buddha was blocking and killing Buddha, invincible and invincible. But the problem is that it is of course good to have such a helper who will not take credit when he is the chief official, but it is very scary to have such a subordinate, look at how many trips Wang Fulin ran out after leaving Huizhou Mansion, including this time, which time must not make some big incidents?

No matter how big it is, it can't compare to this trip in Liaodong! I heard that it was calm when he was in Jizhen, and he thought that his son-in-law had changed his temperament, but now it seems that the disaster star is about to be upgraded to a plague god!

Therefore, Zhang Xueyan recommended him to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that place is to be a person who dares to speak and can speak. But the imperial history of the Imperial Court is not something that can be appointed when a new scholar comes out, either he is tried first, or he is transferred after serving as a county order, in short, Fu Lin's qualifications are far from enough, Zhang Xueyan's recommendation is simply to roast him on the fire. When Wang Daohui said this, he suddenly frowned, and then his brows stretched again, "Could it be that Zhang Xueyan means that in the matter of Liaodong, Fu Lin is not only not guilty, but meritorious?" When you first appointed as an official, can you mention it? ”

"Although Zhang Xueyan is the governor of Liaodong in this matter, it doesn't matter if he speaks alone, everything depends on the direction of the official and the mind of Yuan Fu." When Wang Daokun said this, he thought that Zhang Juzheng had become more and more arbitrary in employing people recently, and he had persuaded him twice, but he had attracted alienation instead of approval, and even some people faintly coveted his position as the right attendant of the military department. If his own position as a squire in the military department is not stable, wouldn't Wang Fulin be pushed by everyone even more?

He squinted his eyes tiredly, and then pinched his fingers and calculated: "From Fu Lin sending the letter to Jingshi, to Zhang Xueyan's book, it has been almost half a month, right?" I wish Flynn would come back soon. ”

Ye Junyao also thought the same. He not only hopes that his son-in-law will come back soon, but also that his daughter will come back as soon as possible - after three years of marriage, they have not had a son and a half daughter, and the couple will know that Ye is causing trouble outside, and this young couple is really too flattering to stare at! Xiaobei, this girl, is not the love of her in-laws in the palm of her hand, so she doesn't have the slightest sense of crisis!

However, where did the dispute between the court and court come to an end so quickly, even if Zhang Juzheng monopolized power and made arbitrary decisions, there were still various different voices in the court, and it was still a stalemate for a while, and a few days passed.

The two-entry courtyard with carriages and stables that Wang Daokun prepared for Wang Fulin at the beginning is now where Ye Junyao lives. Mrs. Su, who once took her youngest son Ye Mingtang and her eldest son Ye Xiaopang back to her hometown to participate in the Taoist exam, had already taken her two sons to Beijing at this time, and with her, a first-class shrewd person, sitting in the inner house, the Ye family was in good order, and even took Qiu Feng from the Wang family and continued to study with Ye Xiaopang as before. It's just that the two daughters are all married, and there are inevitably fewer voices in the house than before, so she naturally makes a lot of time to do something else.

It's just that now Wang Fulin and Xiaobei haven't come back, and it's not time to uncover the pot.

"Madame, ma'am." Yan's mother, who didn't go out with her before, but was left by Wang Fulin to take care of Ye Junyao, walked in quickly, and said with a smile on her face, "Brother Wang Jiabao came from She County, and he just went to Wang's house, and now he is here to visit the lord and his wife!" ”

Mrs. Su was very familiar with Jinbao, and immediately laughed when she heard the news: "Please come in!" ”

At the beginning of the year, after setting off from Ningbo and going directly to Beijing, Mrs. Su heard that Jinbao shined in the Taoist examination of Huining Road last year, and actually won the first place, and directly won the first case, because Jinbao was not yet thirteen years old at that time, and it caused a lot of sensation in Huining Road at that time. However, Wang Fulin's very unreliable father, Wang Daoyun, finally didn't mess up the mandarin duck spectrum, pushed all these away, and left Jinbao at home to study, but only promised Wang Erniang a talent to the Wu family in Xixi South on the other side.

Of course, this was decided after sending someone to discuss it with Wang Daokun first. At that time, Wang Fulin traveled to Jiliao, Wang Daokun's mother and wife were from the marriage of the Wu family in Xixinan, and knew that it was the younger brother of Wu Yingming of the Wu family in Xixinan, who was familiar with Wang Fulin, so he informed his in-law Ye family again, and then wrote back to approve the matter. Mrs. Su knew that it was just because Wang Fulin loved her two sisters very much, and Wang Daokun wanted to drag one more person in the know, so that Wang Fulin would be able to complain less after he came back. After all, Wang Erniang's age is already very small, and she has only been delayed until now.

At this moment, Mrs. Su was sitting in the main room, and when she saw the curtain of the door raised, a thirteen-year-old boy with a long body and a tall body entered the door, his face was still a little shy, and when he saw him, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I've seen my grandmother." ”

Mrs. Su didn't care about feeling that she was a little old all of a sudden, and hurriedly helped the person up, and then said with a smile: "After so long, I have grown a lot taller, and I am already a showman, but this polite habit can't be changed." Did you just arrive today? Why don't you send a letter early? How long did you walk on the road? ”

Jin Baoqian let it go for a while, and then sat on the chair that Mrs. Su started, and then said embarrassedly: "It's the second aunt's wedding date is approaching, and my grandfather asked me to go to Beijing to send a letter to Mr. Zhongyan and Mr. Zhongjia, to see if they can go back to their hometown to participate, and if my father can catch up, so I came out in a hurry, I just arrived this morning, and I took more than 20 days on the road." ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and he was suddenly a little puzzled. He knew how strict Mrs. Su's rules were, and sure enough, when he peeked at this time, he saw Mrs. Su's face covered with frost, obviously very dissatisfied. But the next moment, he saw that the door curtain was smashed open, but a familiar figure broke in.

"Mother, I'll come back first! Hey? Isn't this Jinbao? ”

It was none other than Xiaobei who came back! (To be continued.) )
