Zhang Juzheng asked You Qi, a big manager, to personally send the ceremony, and named him to give it to him? So, does Zhang Ju know about him sitting in the tent of the Tan Mansion?
Wang Fulin turned such a thought in his heart, but when he saw that the old butler was ignored, his face showed a little sadness in embarrassment, even though he had already classified You Qi in his heart as a category that must not be handed over to the rudder, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful. Zhang Juzheng personally came to mourn Tan Lun, do you have this attitude towards the housekeeper of Tan Mansion? Seeing You Qi solemnly handing over a white envelope, he stretched out his hands to take it, and then said to the old housekeeper: "Bother the housekeeper to open it, and I will help write a sum for you to enter the account." β
I thought that I would be completely left aside, but when I heard Wang Fulin say this, the old housekeeper was relieved and hurriedly agreed, but he rummaged around and found a paper cutter, cut the envelope with extremely careful movements, and took out a silver ticket inside, but he didn't dare to look at it, and presented it to Wang Fulin respectfully with both hands. Seeing him in such a situation, Wang Fulin nodded with a smile, glanced at the number of one hundred and twenty taels, and immediately recorded a sum in the account book, and then looked sideways at the old housekeeper.
"This is the funeral of the Tan family, I am an outsider in the end, it is not good to personally thank Lord Shoufu, so I will ask the old housekeeper to go to Lord Tan's words, as the mourner, he should kowtow a few more times to Lord Shoufu to thank him. You tell my uncle Zhongjia again, the linen clothes are all ready, as for the Buddha, Taoism, and Dharma affairs. I'm not sure. Ask him for an idea. β
The old butler nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes." If you really want to invite, then you should invite Master Zhiyong of Dalongshan Huguo Temple, the true Taoist of Baiyun Temple. In the past, the Tan family was preparing for other families' weddings and funerals, but as soon as the words came out, he noticed the undisguised sneer on the corner of You Qi's mouth, and his face immediately turned red. Just the little money on the books. How can you support the expenses of the Dharma on both sides of the Buddhist path? If it weren't for Zhang Juzheng taking the lead in sending such a gift, there should be no shortage of families at that time, and the master would not be able to do this later!
Thinking that the Wang family had promised him before, if the money was not enough, he would pay out of his own pocket, but now You Qi is just sending a gift on behalf of Zhang Juzheng, but it is such a cold attitude, the old housekeeper remembered that the other party had always treated each other with a smile in front of him in the past, and he only felt that the world was cold and warm, and he felt humiliated when he left. Although he also knew that Tan Lun's big tree fell. It is inevitable that the Tan family will show its decline, but compared to the enthusiasm of the Wang family to take the initiative to help with the funeral. You Qi's goods are simply disgusting!
After the old housekeeper left, Wang Fulin was looking at the silver ticket in his hand upside down. Although the Yinzhuang ticket number network spread by Cheng, Xu and Wang of the three major families of Hui Shang has gradually spread to Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong in the southeast, they have been very cautious not to expand to Shandong or even Beizhili. Therefore, when he saw the silver ticket printed with the four words of Longsheng Yinzhuang, he remembered all kinds of news that had come into his ears in the past few days, and knew in his heart that this was the industry of Jin Shang, and behind it was Zhang Siwei. After looking at it for a while, he asked with surprise as if he had just found out that You Qi had not left with him, "You Qiye is not going to accompany Lord Shoufu?" β
You Qi was waiting for Wang Fulin to talk to him, and when he heard this, he almost didn't choke to death. Others are eager to post it when they see themselves, but Wang Fulin is so rejecting people thousands of miles away, this is obviously looking down on people! Moreover, at this moment, he savored the three words of the Seventh Master of You, and he actually felt that it was all a joke! Thinking of this, he didn't bother to explain what the deeper meaning of Zhang Juzheng's ritual was, so he snorted coldly and walked away.
Wang Fulin's previous meeting with Zhang Feng in Nanjing not only finalized Zhang Feng's replacement of Zhang Hong's shares, but Zhang Hong also confided in the plan of how to pull Meng Fang down from the Nanjing garrison eunuch. As for Li Yangong's side, he played a trick gun, and with the mysterious so-called news of the capital, Meng Fang might encounter something on his side, and temporarily fooled this Linhuai Marquis. Because he went to meet the old man Sheng of the Sheng family in Jinling and negotiated the matter of Zhang Feng, Li Yangong held the least shares, and he was newly appointed to his post, and the relations between the DPRK and China were still being restored, and he was kept in the dark, so he could only accept Wang Fulin's statement for the time being.
Therefore, as soon as You Qi walked away, he took the silver ticket and immediately left the tent. Maybe it was because You Qi was really annoyed, but he didn't notice that he was hanging far behind, and when he came to the mourning hall, he broke in directly. Seeing this scene, he laughed immediately after him, and then followed unhurriedly. When he just arrived at the door of the mourning hall, he saw Zhang Juzheng caressing the coffin in a daze, Wang Daohui's face was full of embarrassment, Tan Xian was accompanied by the old housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground, the master and servant were all crying bitterly, You Qi, who entered the mourning hall, obviously did not expect this situation, and was a little in a hurry.
It was only at this time that Wang Fulin raised his feet and entered the mourning hall, but he did not alarm Zhang Juzheng, but came straight to Tan Xian. Because it was inconvenient to stand, he simply knelt down in front of Tan Xian and sat down, and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Tan, Lord Shoufu is the first to come to mourn today, please mourn first." You must know that Lord Shoufu is not only a close friend of Da Sima before his death, but also an elder, and coming here today is not only to remember the old love, but also to the descendants of the Tan family. As the son of the Tan family, you should understand the intentions of Lord Shoufu. β
Just now, the old housekeeper came over, although he whispered to Zhang Juzheng about the rich ceremony, but because of You Qi's contempt and compassion, he cried at Tan Xian, so that Tan Xian, who was originally a little better, cried again - in his opinion, who was not the smartest in his brain, in addition to showing his grief for his father's death in front of Zhang Juzheng, he had no better way to express himself. But at this moment, Wang Fulin finally came to his senses, quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, stepped forward on his knees, and stammered a little to persuade Zhang Juzheng, and also said a lot of things about Tan Lun before he died.
Although all he said was what Tan Lun had said and done in his last days, many of which were even just small details, but Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses and listened carefully, and finally withdrew his hand pressed on the coffin. Said in a deep voice: "Brother Zili's nickname." I'll let people draft the best. I will also show the rest of the mourning to the emperor. As the eldest son of Brother Zili, you will carry all the burdens of the Tan family. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Fulin, who was about to stand up with his knees: "Shiqing, publish the book of the ceremony, so that some people don't have to ask around when they come to give gifts." β
Wang Fulin had just deliberately snubbed You Qi in the tent, just because he was worried that this guy would induce him to misinterpret Zhang Juzheng's meaning, but now that he heard Zhang Juzheng take the initiative to order, he was much more relieved. Immediately got up and agreed. Now that he has figured out this most important issue, and hinted that Tan Xian showed a little bit of the Tan family's care in front of Zhang Juzheng, he didn't stay any longer, and immediately withdrew. He came and went, Wang Daohui finally tasted a little taste, where would he steal the limelight from Tan Xian, at most he would help say a sentence or two to the point.
For a while, You Qi, who was neither advancing nor retreating in the mourning hall, finally became the most embarrassing person. In order for Zhang Juzheng not to think that he was too frivolous to step into this place for a while, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he had to retreat quietly. But just as he was about to exit the door with one foot. Leng Buding only heard a scream.
"You Qiye, you also came to mourn the master?"
Worst! Oops, oops, oops!
It was the old butler who found it to be the one who called the person. You Qi was shocked and angry, especially when he saw Zhang Juzheng suddenly turn his head and look over, his eyes suddenly turned sharp when he found that it was him, he was so numb that he didn't know how to explain it. Even if he said that he entered the mourning hall to persuade Zhang Juzheng, how could he still speak now? If he argues that he admires Tan Lun's prestige and wants to follow a stick of incense, but this excuse can work on any other official, but in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, he is just a subordinate, how can he have this qualification?
What's more, let the Tan family call You Qiye and ask him if he came to condole, if Zhang Juzheng has any bad associations, he will be even more unlucky! You shouldn't have underestimated this old guy just now!
Zhang Juzheng saw that You Qi's face was uncertain, and finally knelt down with a plop, his face was cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Retreat!" β
To the ears of the old housekeeper, this is undoubtedly the meaning of Zhang Juzheng's protection entourage, but to You Qi's ears, it is like a sentence. Zhang Juzheng often scolds and ruthlessly treats trusted cronies and subordinates, but for those who really hate them, or even get rid of them quickly, Zhang Juzheng's reaction in front of people has always been more restrained, for example, when he was his protΓ©gΓ© but wrote a letter to impeach his former Liaodong Governor Liu Tai, Zhang Juzheng did not show his harsh words to Liu Tai in front of the Son of Heaven, but showed sadness, and simply resigned to threaten him.
But at the moment, it is undoubtedly extremely stupid to intercede, and You Qi had to kowtow, and then he withdrew from the mourning hall in a hurry. Standing outside in the not-so-blazing sun, he thought quickly in his heart about how to make up for the mistake he had just made. But before he could come up with a reason, there was a sound of voice outside.
"Tsukazai, Da Situ, the mourning hall has arrived."
You Qi was exquisitely outside, and when he only heard these two titles, he knew that it was Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, and Yin Zhengmao, the secretary of the household department. It stands to reason that the high-ranking officials at this level can hardly talk about much influence, but the process of these two people ascending to the throne is different from other Shangshu, and he will not be afraid of them. However, seeing that Wang Fulin personally led the two of them in, he suddenly raised his throat in his heart, and he was worried about what Wang Fulin would say, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin to just nod to him, so he invited the two Shangshu in, and then turned around and left.
Knowing that Zhang Juzheng took the lead and came first, the rest of the senior officials came to condolence one by one, You Qi only hoped that Zhang Juzheng would come out and leave as soon as possible, and not let people know about the scene that happened before, so as to save some petty officials from coming over to condole, and when the time came, he would cut off the capital to show off his might in front of some officials, and that was not only the biggest financial road, but also meant his face.
At this time, after he saw Lu Chen and the others, Wang Fulin led the two of them over again, but it was Zhang Siwei, the third assistant, and Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Although Wang Fulin looked very respectful, and Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were also quite polite to Wang Fulin, who is You Qi? Of course he knew that Wang Chonggu had long taken a fancy to Tan Lun's position, plus Tan Lun was old and sick, and most of the affairs in the military department were taken care of by Wang Daokun, so Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei's uncle and nephew once wanted to squeeze out Wang Daokun, but after they failed, they threw their anger on Wang Fulin, who was quite blue-eyed, but instead they lost two political envoys.
Therefore, after seeing that Wang Fulin let the two of them into the mourning hall, he immediately snorted lightly at the corner of his mouth, clearly just barely reluctantly and wronged, and he finally had an idea in his heart. Zhang Juzheng obviously has a good impression of Wang Fulin now, and that kid is not a person who can make mistakes easily, but Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei are obviously not in the same place with him, why should he come to drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger? At least Zhang Juzheng is quite satisfied with Zhang Siwei at the moment, and he even brought him into the cabinet at the beginning, and it is easy for him to catch Zhang Siwei's line!
Thinking like this, he didn't notice it at all, but this time Wang Fulin followed up the mourning hall. After a while, Zhang Juzheng finally came out of the mourning hall, followed by Zhang Siwei, who was also following suit. He hurriedly and respectfully lowered his hands to the side, and waited until he followed out of the Tan Mansion, and waited for Zhang Juzheng to get on the sedan chair, knowing that Zhang Juzheng was afraid that he had not lost his temper yet, and at this time apologies would only cause greater anger, and Zhang Siwei was preparing to get on the sedan chair not far behind, and he didn't dare to mention the scene just now. However, what he never expected was that before Zhang Juzheng lowered the sedan curtain, he coldly left his words.
"Just now, the housekeeper of the Tan family specially came to explain, saying that in the past, you helped Mrs. Tan to pull a few times of business, and he was grateful to you, but just now he was just forgetful, so he lost his words for a while, and brought out all the names on weekdays. It turns out that you are in the capital with your hands and eyes, and you still have such a face, and the three words You Qiye are worthy of the name. β
You Qi simply felt that this explanation was more terrifying than smearing and slandering, and his face turned pale for a while. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng just lowered the curtain like this, he didn't say a word anymore, he only felt half cold and half hot all over his body, and he didn't hurry to catch up until the sedan chair moved forward a few steps. When the sedan chair stopped at the left gate of Chang'an, Zhang Juzheng went straight to the stool that was rewarded in the palace and entered the palace. Turning his head to see that it was Zhang Siwei, he hurriedly lowered his hand and saluted without mentioning it.
"The old butler of the Tan family is a fool, and the explanation he just made in the mourning hall is well known, so it's no wonder that Yuanfu is unhappy." Zhang Siwei explained lightly, and seeing You Qi's bitter face, he said meaningfully, "But the Wang servant who helped in the Tan family seems to be very familiar with the master and servant of the Tan family?" β
Sure enough, it's Wang Fulin!
Even if there was no Zhang Siwei, You Qi would have already counted this account on Wang Fulin's head, and he gritted his teeth with hatred at this time. Seeing that Zhang Siwei smiled slightly, and was about to enter the palace with his feet raised, You Qi suddenly said loudly: "I also asked the elder to say a few more kind words for me in front of Yuanfu, You Qi is grateful." β
As long as Ge Lao Ken joins forces with me, then what is Wang Fulin!
Zhang Siwei deliberately provoked, waiting for You Qi's words. He narrowed his eyes in understanding, and said lightly: "You are the heart of Yuanfu, it's good to pass the thunder for a while, it's not beautiful to go to the doctor to find someone to intercede in a hurry, and it will be reflected on in the future." β
Don't worry, I'll turn around for you in front of Shousuke!
After the answer with the words hidden, Zhang Siwei entered the palace, and You Qi, who stayed in place, clenched his fists fiercely. As soon as Tan Lun died, Wang Daokun lost a big backer, and he didn't believe that Zhang Siwei's uncle Wang Chonggu was such a scheming old fox, and he couldn't find the slightest mistake with Wang Daokun, who would only hurt the spring and autumn!
