When Feng Bao and Zhang Hong heard this, they all felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded overhead, and they couldn't make a sound in an instant.

After all, Feng Bao had experienced the danger of being almost driven out of the palace by Gao Gong, even if it was a big thing, it was not as dangerous as that day, after the initial shock, he suddenly came to his senses, and he stared at the long man and shouted: "Tell me clearly, what is going on?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Hong was also glaring at him with a sharp gaze, the chief couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly knelt down: "It was Lord Shoufu's family who sent someone to report that Old Lady Zhang had died." Lord Shoufu is writing to ask Ding to worry. ”

It turned out that it wasn't Zhang Juzheng who died......

Feng Bao almost felt that his heart almost burst out of his throat, and pressed his chest for a long time before he finally came to his senses. And Zhang Hong also looked at the long sui with a subtle face, thinking to himself where this lookless guy came from, knowing that Zhang Juzheng had taken sick leave at home before, but he only said that the Zhang family reported the funeral, but he didn't say clearly whose funeral it was, so that he and Feng Baoquan were almost not scared out of illness. Fortunately, this is not in the Qianqing Palace, otherwise Empress Dowager Li would have to be angry when she heard such a report.

Sure enough, after relieving himself, Feng Bao immediately shouted: "Get out!" ”

When the chief got up in embarrassment and stumbled out of the door, Feng Bao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said to Zhang Hong with an unnatural face: "The people below are too stupid to make you laugh." This matter came too suddenly, how about Brother Rong Zhai go with me to the Qianqing Palace to report a message to Cisheng Niangniang and the emperor? It's a matter of the first assistant of the cabinet, and the stakes are high, so I have to ask my mother to come up with an idea. ”

Zhang Hong was a little unhappy when he heard that Feng Bao only said that he asked Empress Dowager Li to take an idea, but did not mention Emperor Wanli. However, Zhu Yijun has not yet been in power, even if he is dissatisfied, he will not put it on his face, and immediately nodded. When the two of them left the public hall one after the other, a young and strong eunuch immediately carried two stools over. Don't look at this is just the shape of a backrest chair and a long pole, placed in a place like the countryside of Huizhou, that is, a sliding rod or something, but being able to sit on this in the imperial city is already the highest privilege among the ministers.

Just like today's celebrant eunuchs, only the eunuch Feng Bao and the eunuch Zhang Hong enjoy this privilege. The rest is only horseback riding in the inner palace, that is, horses can be ridden in the imperial city. But even if he rode a horse and was placed in the foreign court, only the elder and the elderly Shangshu had such privileges, and only Zhang Juzheng could sit on a stool in the Imperial City of Tern.

When the stool that Feng Bao and Zhang Hong were sitting on stopped in front of Donghua Gate, followed by these two people hurriedly went to the Qianqing Palace to report the news, in the outer court, Zhang Juzheng's father Zhang Wenming died of illness, and it also fermented at the fastest speed, and it spread all over the yamen, and I don't know how many people were stunned, how many people beat their chests and feet, and how many people celebrated.

And when Wang Fulin knew the news, he shook his head slightly, and once again gave birth to the feeling that the plan could not catch up with the changes, but more fortunately - after all, he was not sure that he could persuade Wang Daokun, who was quite stubborn about etiquette, if he hadn't killed You Qi before, in case Wang Daokun had any outrageous words and deeds, and You Qi was playing right and wrong in front of Zhang Juzheng, it would be a pole that overturned a boatload of people, and the previous good situation was all in vain! And to say that the thing he is most annoyed about at this moment is that Wang Daoguan's election has only reached the last step, which is said to be the release of the Shanyin order, but after all, the paperwork has not come down.

If you have already gone to the Ministry of Officials to get the appointment documents and leave, what happens next will have nothing to do with it.

Wang Fulin didn't think about whether Zhang Wenming should have died at the turn of July and August, since his arrival has changed a lot of things, then there will be more things to change in the future. When he walked out of his straight room, he noticed that many pairs of eyes were quietly watching him, including both officials and officials, obviously, Zhang Juzheng may be worried about the system for 27 months, which in the eyes of outsiders, for him, Zhang Juzheng's cronies, is naturally as unfavorable as possible.

But there are also people who are still smiling as always, such as the official Hu Quan, after he saw Wang Fulin in the middle of the road, he has been following him after saluting, but he has whispered how many supervising imperial historians are secretly watching his jokes, such as Qin Yiming, the head of Huguang Dao, and how many imperial historians are calculating the possible big fluctuations in the court, ready to take the opportunity to stand in line, and finally lowered his voice and said: "Master Daoist, I heard that someone has gone to the cabinet straight room to congratulate the second assistant Lu Ge Lao." ”

Wang Fulin paused at his feet, and after glancing at Hu Quan, he made sure that this guy was not talking nonsense, so he sneered in his heart.

In recent years, some people are really tending to be inflammatory, and Tian is shameless! Zhang Juzheng had just experienced the pain of losing his father, and these people didn't even think that there was a funeral in the family of the current first assistant, and directly thought that the second assistant might be promoted to the first assistant, so they went to Lu Tiaoyang's sycophant? Even if you want to shoot, you should be a little slower, this kind of impatient and angry, lest the action be slow and half a beat is simply specially pitted Lu Tiaoyang!

He even speculated maliciously, this is not the person Zhang Siwei secretly instigated, right?

However, Wang Fulin soon discovered that he still underestimated the extent to which some people saw the wind and steered the rudder. He deliberately diverted to go around the Zhang University Scholar's Mansion in Dashahat Hutong, but found that the Zhang's Mansion, which used to be full of traffic, has become crowded at this moment--not to say that all the sedan cars have disappeared, but the sparse appearance of just three or five groups of people waiting to see each other, compared with the grand occasion when the entire alley was crowded in the past, it particularly shows a kind of hot and cold world. And when Cheng Naixuan came directly to the door that night, the words he left behind made him refresh his three views.

"Do you know, in the cabinet room today, someone is already cleaning up Lord Shoufu's room, if it weren't for Lu Ge Lao to stop it, this house would not have been vacated in ten days or eight days, and it would have been vacated within today. Even so, in the room where the elders were deliberating, someone had already proposed to put the seat of the elder Lu on the left hand first, which was where Lord Shoufu always sit. ”

"I've always felt that I've seen too many shameless people, but now I feel that I'm still lonely. Before this person left, the tea was cold first, didn't they think of the possibility of Shousuke-sama winning love? ”

Cheng Naixuan saw Wang Fulin's brows furrowed, and when he heard the word "love", he was taken aback: "No, since the first assistant Liu Mian in the Chenghua period of that year, Da Ming has never had a love-grabbing elder!" It's been almost a hundred years, and it's always been like that. ”

The so-called Liu Mian is talking about the famous pavilion elder Liu Ji from the late Chenghua period to the early years of Hongzhi. Counting the period from Hongzhi to Wanli, it is indeed almost 180 years. But even so, looking at Cheng Naixuan's natural appearance, Wang Fulin was still a little incomprehensible. After all, for such a thing as etiquette, he from later generations is really not cold.

But you must know that Cheng Naixuan, who is deviant enough, thinks so on weekdays, what about the civil and military officials? What about the officials and people of the world?

So, he had to ask, "If Shousuke-sama really wins love, what are you going to do?" ”

"You mean really?" Cheng Naixuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva in shock, seeing that Wang Fulin didn't mean to joke at all, he scratched his head, and then spread his hands and smiled, "I don't plan to do anything." Even if I am in the middle of the matter, but this matter must be decided by the queen mother and the emperor in the palace, they want to leave Lord Shoufu, why should I go to the head to break the bloodstream? If it is corrupt, rampant and lawless, and the employment of people is unknown...... Anyway, I will definitely impeach these things, but Lord Shoufu wants to win the favor, it is also because the emperor is not yet an underage marriage, the court and the central government cannot do without him, and the decree cannot be changed overnight, and the queen mother and the emperor are trying their best to keep it, why am I so energetic? ”

Wang Fulin was afraid that Cheng Naixuan's bones would be too hard and unbending, and when he saw this guy looking so lazy at this moment, he laughed. The next moment, he saw Cheng Naixuan touching his chin thoughtfully.

"By the way, you used to fish in troubled waters when this kind of big event broke out, can you give me an idea this time, and I will also take the opportunity to release the state capital?"

"Save it, if you don't pay attention this time, even the dignified old man will be burned, not to mention a small role like you and me? I don't have time to entertain you tonight, I'm going to see Shen Jundian, the champion of today's department, he is not as flexible as you, and I don't know if I can make people change their minds if they wear out their mouths. ”

"I'll go too!" Cheng Naixuan is not afraid of things and does not hide from things, and he took the initiative to ask Ying Dao with a smile on the stick, "How can you say that the two of us together represent Kedao, and it is not easy to say that Shen Jundian is not easy?" ”

Although Wang Fulin was angry and funny, he would not refuse to have one more helper, and immediately quietly went out. Although it was not far from the night ban at this time, when he got out of his remote alley, he found that at this time when there should be few pedestrians on the street, people could often be seen whistling by on horseback, and it was obvious that the mansions of various officials were being connected in tandem. I think there are not only seven-grade sesame officials like them, but also the kind of high-ranking officials and celebrities who have become famous.

When the two of them came to the door of Shen's house, they had just knocked on the door, only to see Shen Daniu stick out his head and probe and shout, "Wang Gongzi, why are you here too?" It's been so lively tonight! ”

"Oh? Have other guests? Is it Feng Kaizhi, Tu Changqing? ”

Shen Daniu immediately smiled honestly: "Wang Gongzi, you guessed accurately, but in addition to Feng Gongzi and Tu Gongzi, there are a few guests. ”

Hearing that the Shen family had gathered so many people at this time, Wang Fu Linden frowned, and suddenly realized that Shen Maoxue, who had won the top prize because of Zhang Juzheng's heavy skills, was afraid that he would become the focus of many people's efforts. Come to think of it, if the emperor really wins the favor, if Shen Maoxue, the champion that Zhang Juzheng values, but strikes back, then it will be a heavy blow to Zhang Juzheng's prestige, character, eyesight, and measurement. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Shen Daniu opened the door and turned around to go in to report, but was pulled by Cheng Naixuan, who was quick-eyed.

"Shuangmu, what's wrong?"

"I'm not going in." Wang Fulin didn't want to argue with a group of irrelevant people in the Shen family at this time, so he immediately said to Shen Daniu, "Don't tell Jundian about my comings and goings, even after all the guests, including Feng Gongzi and them, are gone, you don't want to report what I have visited." ”

Although Shen Daniu didn't know that Wang Fulin was obviously coming over on purpose, but he wanted to turn back, and he didn't let himself tell Shen Maoxue what the reason was, but since the trip to Liaodong, his belief in Wang Fulin was not discounted, and at this time, he nodded again and again, and watched the group leave, so he hurriedly closed the door. Out of the alley, Wang Fulin saw Cheng Naixuan's face full of inexplicability, so he asked, "Is your father-in-law at home tonight?" ”

"Where?" Cheng Naixuan was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, "Are you going to see him at night now?" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I originally wanted to thank him for teaching Jinbao, but now that it's an eventful time, I have to be cheeky and go directly to visit."

"My father-in-law is a good talker, so I'll go now." Cheng Naixuan smiled happily, and then said, "I was originally going to find a place to move out, but now you said that you bought the two courtyards next to you, and I want to be neighbors with you, so I have to wait for the yard to be renovated and arranged, so I will live at my father-in-law's for a few more days." But you and my eldest brother are also brothers-in-law, and you don't need my introduction, let's go, if you don't go and run into the night ban, it's always troublesome to bother to explain. ”

Having said that, when the two of them came to Xu's house again with two retinues, it had already passed the beginning of the night ban. On the important streets where I passed, large fences had been erected to prevent theft, and only the lanterns hanging in front of the Xu family's alleys illuminated the dark roads, and the gates of each house were closed. For Cheng Naixuan's late return, the Xu family had already prepared, but they found that Cheng Naixuan was followed by Wang Fulin, and someone immediately went to tell Xu Guo, who was in the study to ask about Jinbao's homework.

"Your father is here, you go out to greet him first." Xu Guo saw Jin Bao's eyebrows raised, and immediately turned around and hurried out after saluting, he pulled the sparse beard on his chin, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

Although Wang Fulin and his son Xu Guo, as well as Cheng Naixuan's son-in-law, are all about the same age, and even one or two years younger, before being admitted to the Jinshi, Wang Fulin has already made a name for himself in Huizhou, and after being admitted to the Jinshi, he has made a great reputation in the capital, in Liaodong, and Guangdong, so he naturally does not regard people as ordinary rising stars, so he has already guessed his intentions.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside, followed by a gentle knock on the door outside the study, he gave an order with a smile, and soon, Jinbao personally opened the curtain and let Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan in.

This is not the first time Xu Guo has seen Wang Fulin, but at this time, seeing his long body and jade body, his face is not green, but he can only see his calm bearing, he still can't help but secretly praise Wang Shihou, and he can't help but feel even more strange about the so-called Wang Daokun and Wang Fulin's nephew. When Cheng Naixuan pressed Wang Fulin to sit down on the first chair in his left hand, he sat down by himself, and Jinbao took the initiative to stand behind Wang Fulin, he asked with a smile: "Shiqing is here for the incident that shook Jinghua today?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Guo asked directly, and Wang Fulin simply answered directly, "I just visited Shen Jundian, the champion of the current department, with Brother Cheng, and heard that the family was full of friends, so I passed through the door and came directly to Xu's house." The Shen family is Jinbao's future Yue family, and this time, Shen Jundian, Feng Kaizhi and others will do things like hitting stones with eggs because of the rules of etiquette, or because of the prodding of others, so I came to ask Master Xu. ”
