Chapter 908: Moving

Before leaving, Wang Fulin also made a special face at the three brothers Zhang Jingxiu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and his unserious appearance also made Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu look at each other after being shocked. Zhang Maoxiu didn't even care that there was still his grandmother, mother and Xiaobei present in the house, and asked Zhang Sixiu directly: "Second brother, could it be that Cheng Shiqing has caused something again?" ”

Xiaobei only felt very helpless. Brother Zhang, you are so smart, you know how to say "again"!

Zhang Sixiu still had a clear mind, glanced at the grandmother and mother at the top, and then said very cautiously: "I really don't know what the specific thing is, I only know that today the emperor ordered the head of the ceremonial office to give several ministers, and then ...... In addition to Chen Zongxian, Wang Shiqing rewarded a whole box of sweets and snacks. ”

If Wang Fulin was here, he would definitely pout his lips very disdainfully - what a box, a total of eight crystal cakes, the standard is really not good, not as good as his own cook!

Mrs. Wang is the highest-ranking lady of the civil official among the ladies of today, and she has seen the Empress Dowager Li in the palace, and it is naturally commonplace for the imperial gift. As soon as Mrs. Zhao entered Beijing, the next day the palace rewarded a lot of jewelry, silk and other things, and a few days later, the Empress Dowager Chen and the Empress Dowager Li invited her into the palace, and they actually met with family etiquette, so her courtesy to the emperor gradually took it for granted. But after all, the former is only in his early forties, and he knows that it is extremely difficult for the younger generation of officials to enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven. The latter was already in his seventies, and when he heard this, he only felt pure joy, and actually patted Xiaobei's hand.

"Okay, you are young and capable, and you are the arm of Da Lang. Live your life well, and have more children. ”

Xiaobei knew Wang Fulin's overall plan, although she couldn't talk about any apologies to the Zhang family, after all, Wang Fulin's purpose was just to let Zhang Juzheng see the little emperor's jealousy clearly, not to step on two boats, but when she heard the words Old Madam Zhao raise her arms again, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. What's more, her children have always been her biggest knot, and she nodded hurriedly at the moment, but said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai has said it, then I'm not welcome." My husband and I have been married for six years, but we only have one son, do you have any remedies? ”

When Mrs. Wang saw that Xiaobei was entangled with Mrs. Zhao, she gestured to Zhang Jingxiu and the others. The three brothers took advantage of this opportunity and immediately quietly retreated. When they arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu had to ask Zhang Sixiu, who knew today's internal situation, and after hearing what was going on, Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but whisper: "Father won't have doubts about Shiqing because the emperor rewarded him, right?" ”

"In that case, my father would have distanced people from him, and would never have called them to his study."

Zhang Sixiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully, thinking of the last time Wang Fulin hurriedly came to Zhang Juzheng, and put himself at the door as a janitor, but in the end, he didn't hear any very exciting news at all, and he couldn't help but faintly notice that between his father and Wang Fulin, there seemed to be a secret hidden that even their sons could not set foot in.

Although this speculation made him a little weak and annoyed, after pondering for a long time, he still spoke: "It's still early, why don't we go to the study and take a look in the courtyard." lest any one in the house be unruly and eavesdrop on them. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu glanced at each other, and they both had a thought. It's not like a thief, it's that you want to listen to the movement, right?

In the study, of course Wang Fulin didn't know, because Zhang Juzheng's actions seemed to be very natural, on Mrs. Zhao's side, everyone would have their own thoughts. After he followed Zhang Juzheng into the study, he walked to the desk and stood still, and after Zhang Juzheng sat down, he directly handed over the paper he had just gotten from Tian Yi. Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng didn't care about the content, but stared at the dazzling imperial treasure on the emperor's treasure, and sighed deeply for a long time.

"Yuanfu, the matter of Liaodong, I don't think I can be too indulgent of Liaodong civil and military."

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Juzheng had just not instructed any of his henchmen to stay outside, in case someone overheard, this was a great opportunity for him to take the opportunity to let out the news. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's eyes were slightly dilated, obviously he had not yet detached himself from the huge blow brought by his own thing, so he supported Zhang Juzheng's desk with both hands, and said in an accentuated tone: "I know that Yuan Fu is dissatisfied with the results of Guangmao's previous trip to Liaodong, and thinks that he exaggerates the facts, and if he makes a big move, it is not conducive to the war situation in Liaodong, but there is a way that the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, and those who make big mistakes should be removed." Otherwise, there will be a second and third Tao Chengyu! ”

Zhang Juzheng had not yet recovered from the edict of Emperor Wanli, and when he heard Wang Fulin say this, he realized that even these words were probably the emperor's instructions, so he was silent for a moment before he spit out three words: "Go on." ”

"In the past, An Lushan killed and surrendered and falsely reported his achievements, but Tang Xuanzong turned a deaf ear and did not believe in the words of loyalty, so there was the Anshi Rebellion. And now that the Li family has risen for only ten years, it seems that all the generals in the Liaodong Army are about to be promoted by Li Chengliang, which is not a good thing. Although the imperial court has long had the purpose of Liao people guarding Liaodong, in this way, the generals are indeed willing to contribute to the war, after the management of Zhang and Li, Liaodong is indeed not the same as the chaos in the early years of Jiajing and Longqing, but this does not mean that there is only a reward for merit, and there is no punishment. If the border generals indulge too much, it is easy to cause greed and arrogance, and then support the army and self-respect. ”

"Therefore, Tao Chengyu must be punished, and those who kill and surrender should be beheaded according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but because those people in the Chahaner Department said that they surrendered, they could not completely erase the possibility of fake surrender, so they were first seized, and then escorted back to the capital for strict interrogation. The gifts and favors given by Li Chengliang and others were all recovered, and the rewards received by the sergeants and soldiers remained the same. Punishing generals but not soldiers can be used as a deterrent. In addition, Yuan Bi, who whitewashed this battle exploit and connected up and down afterwards, intending to cover up the facts, must be severely punished! ”

Zhang Juzheng knew that Wang Fulin represented the emperor's attitude, but he still frowned and asked: "Zhang Xinzhai has always praised you a lot, and Li Chengliang's father and son are also because of you, Cheng Naixuan During his time in Liaodong, they took care of him a lot, so you don't miss the old feelings?" ”

"Yuanfu, the old love is the old love, Zhang Butang has merit in governing Liaodong, so I will push Zhang Butang on the court push of the household Shangshu. And it is precisely because Li Chengliang is indeed brilliant that when the victory of Changdingbao just came, I was really happy. However, the public is public, and the private is private, not to mention that it is Tao Chengyu who is taking the gong now, if it is Li Chengliang who is taking the gong, I will say the same. As for Zhang Butang, he has already left Liaodong, and this matter has nothing to do with him, but it is the military department Fang Shangshu who has also shared a little profit because of Liaodong's merits, and Enyin's son has been dedicated to helping Liaodong civil and military to speak before, which is really not what a big Sima should do. ”

"So, you also support the Lights-Mold?"

"Yuan Fu's words are wrong, my opinion is that if such a thing happens in Liaodong, it is enough for two people to move one article and one martial arts, how can it be compared with Guangmao's big move to rectify the officialdom in Liaodong? Motosuke, if a fruit is rotten, immediately cut off the rotten place, and the rest of the place can still be eaten, if it is rotten to the root, it will be completely useless. Wang Fulin said, while pointing a little bit on the piece of paper on the table with his finger, and said solemnly, "What I said is from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Wang Fulin's voice was not small, at least the three brothers of the Zhang family who drove away those servants in the courtyard heard it. If they were only shocked before, and then they came to spy on the movement, then at this moment, the three of them really changed color. Although Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, is not like Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, who often sends people to his home to give gifts, he is also the second most attentive among the general soldiers of the nine sides, so Zhang Juzheng has always been very generous to Li Chengliang, and his military exploits must be rewarded, and military salaries and other expenses are the most priority, but now Wang Fulin wants to use a knife against Liaodong!

"Although he doesn't want to cut down a large number of people like Guangmao, the article and martial arts he mentioned are enough for Liaodong to shake for a while." Zhang Sixiu muttered to himself.

Zhang Maoxiu frowned and said: "Although my father has always trusted Shiqing, if I compare it with Li Chengliang in Liaodong......

Although Zhang Maoxiu did not finish his words, Zhang Jingxiu, as the eldest son, heard his younger brother's voice. Although Wang Fulin is now Zhang Juzheng's No. 1 confidant in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in terms of the degree of cronies, he is even more than Chen Jiong, the imperial history of the Zuodu, but compared with the importance of the land of Liaodong, he does not know which is more important. How could a person as smart as Wang Fulin insist on standing in the Li family regardless of it?

However, after a long silence in the study, the three brothers finally heard Zhang Juzheng speak again.

"You've always been dedicated to the public, I know that." Zhang Juzheng paused, his eyes swept over the piece of paper, and his mood was indescribably struggling. drove away Gao Gong and monopolized power, the first thing he and Feng Bao received from the Empress Dowager Li was also a through-the-whole task, that is, to cultivate a virtuous son of heaven for the Ming Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Li made it clear at that time that the Ming Dynasty must not let another emperor like Yingzong or Wuzong who was so nonsense that he almost perished. Therefore, in addition to the main officer, he chose Hanlin, who had both ability and political integrity, and Feng Bao was the main one, and strictly guarded the eunuchs around the emperor.

As a result, the eunuchs around Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun cleaned up batch after batch, and during the period when he returned to his hometown to bury his father, even Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, the two most senior and unpredictable, were finally driven out, and he originally thought that he could rest assured. However, whether it was Jin Yiwei planting eyeliner next to Wang Fulin, or the little emperor once sent Tian Yi to entrap Wang Fulin, or this time he simply gave Wang Fulin a handwritten letter and asked him to encircle the corresponding people, which affected the result of the victory of the Liaodong survey of Changdingbao, he had to come to a most frustrating conclusion.

Emperor Wanli didn't learn what he thought he should learn the most, and Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong, and Emperor Xiaozong, who could wholeheartedly trust the ministers of the ministry, but instead went to learn the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, whom he hated the most in his heart!

"It's okay for Tao Chengyu to move to the left, but Yuan Bi ......" After Zhang Juzheng spoke again, he paused on the name Yuan Bi, but when Wang Fulin reported Yuan Bi's obviously quite good-looking resume very calmly, he immediately told Cheng Naixuan about Cheng Naixuan's trip to Liaodong and the few bad deeds of Yuan Bi that he inquired about, he finally sank his face, "In this case, this matter depends on you." ”

That being said, he was still extremely unhappy after all.

Seeing this, Wang Fulin did not take back the piece of paper on the table, but moved it towards Zhang Juzheng, and said in a very fast and low voice: "Yuanfu can go and check the origin of this thing." ”

"No need." Zhang Juzheng shook his head directly, then looked at Wang Fulin again, and said word by word, "Don't forget the incident I told you." ”

There is no need to be completely single-minded, Wang Fulin knows that Zhang Juzheng is referring to the investigation of Liu Shou's details. Of course, he didn't really want to return this thing that could play an infinite role in his hands, so he immediately took it back, but after hesitating for a moment, he opened the lid of the tea offered by his previous subordinates again, dipped his fingers in the tea, and wrote a few words on the desk.

Just this time, when he went out of Beijing to greet Mrs. Zhao, in addition to figuring out the unlucky sedan chair turmoil of Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending, he asked Liu Bo and others to go around, and also heard another gossip that was privately rumored by some people in the folk very accidentally. Compared with the simple sedan chair violation turmoil, the other news is like a devastating blow to the reputation of both parties.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished writing, his wrist was grabbed by Zhang Juzheng. In the face of that gaze that seemed to be able to eat people, he was very calm and composed.

"Yuanfu and Liaodong Li Dashuai, some are righteous, but there is no so-called private friendship, because it was Gaoxin Zheng Gong who promoted Li Dashuai. And you just continued to reuse Li Dashuai just like those governors who had made great achievements. And if Yuan Fu clearly sent two people to Liaodong to investigate the victory of Changdingbao in the middle of the matter, but in the end, it turned a big thing into a small thing and a small thing, then what would outsiders say? I remember that Yuanfu also told me before that he had participated in the murder, the three of them became tigers, and everyone was golden, and he also said that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan. If you still don't believe it, you can ask the factory guard to check. ”

Zhang Juzheng sat down dejectedly. He knew that the first half of Wang Fulin's words did not matter, the important thing was the second half. Let yourself ask the factory guard, it is nothing more than to ask Feng Bao to find out whether there is indeed something wrong, and even the source of the matter. However, even with the most solid ally, he had no way to open his mouth for Feng Bao to track down such unbelievable rumors.

Could it be that he went to Feng Bao angrily and asked him why he didn't tell himself earlier that there were unscrupulous people outside who dared to rumor in private that he was having an affair with Empress Dowager Cisheng Li? It is conceivable that since Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun has even heard the rumors of the sedan chair, will he have heard this more outrageous and terrifying rumor?

"Go out and let me be quiet."

"Yes, Yuanfu, you have a lot of opportunities, please rest early and take care of your body."

When Wang Fulin walked to the door of the study, he glanced back, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about the fierce medicine he had taken this time, but more than that, he was looking forward to it.

Zhang Juzheng's biggest problem is not that he never thought that his remaining days were not ten or eight years, but just four years; It's not that I misread Zhang Siwei, when the first assistant of the cabinet falls into the hands of Zhang Siwei, a person with ulterior motives, Zhang Siwei doesn't even have to end up himself, as long as those who were deposed by Zhang Juzheng are promoted and put into the department, so that these people can experience the holy will again, it is enough to set off the biggest anti-Zhang wave; Rather, he mislooked at the emperor. Zhang Juzheng didn't realize that the resentment in the emperor's heart had already reached its peak, and he didn't prepare for it in time, which was also the biggest reason for the fall of the Zhang family after Zhang Juzheng's death.

As for what civil opponents...... Without the acquiescence and support of the top, how can it be possible to make waves? Just look at Zhang Juzheng's high pressure, those guys who can only hang their crowns at most will know. (To be continued.) )
