Chapter 758: Shoufu Cuts Hu
Canton Daoist Yushi Qian Ruyi is 40 years old this year.
Judging from his age and his current official rank, his official career does not seem to be smooth, but this is not the case. He Longqing two years in the top three with the jinshi, first in an inconspicuous county in Shaanxi as a county commander, and then because of the Shaanxi patrol according to the imperial history of the eye, three years of term on the promotion of the Imperial Inspectorate as the imperial history, now has gone through a patrol of the imperial history, a patrol according to the imperial history, in the Imperial Court stayed for four years, from this point of view, he does not think that he is by virtue of seniority to become the head of the Guangdong Provincial Imperial History, but by virtue of ironclad political achievements.
Therefore, even if Wang Fulin tossed a lot of things in Guangdong this time, and even captured the pirate leader and appeased nearly a thousand pirates, but in his opinion, it was just a young man tossing around, and he planned to see Wang Fulin after seeing him, if the other party was young and vigorous, then he would knock and knock well, so that he could understand who was talking about in this Guangdong Road. For this reason, he had already called Du Dushi from the Experience Division to come over and instructed him to do a good job. However, he never expected that when he heard the voice, Wang Fulin clearly followed Du Du to the door, but the cabinet suddenly ordered someone to send an urgent message and directly cut off the person to him!
He only heard that Du Du was flustered outside the door, but Wang Fulin was still hesitantly saying, not that it was reasonable to meet the head of the imperial history first, and put him on the same level as Zhang Juzheng, he immediately scolded in his heart, but he had to get up and go out, squeezed out a smile and said to Wang Fulin: "Naturally, the matter of the first assistant of the cabinet is more important, and Wang Shiyu will go first." ”
"That'...... I listen to my predecessors. Wang Fulin smiled and arched his hand, and then turned around and left with the sweaty little official who came to find someone. Although he didn't look back, he seemed to feel that the eyes of the Dao Master had been following him. As for how much good and bad faith there is in it. That's hard to say.
Because after the Jinshi exam before. Wang Fulin is also in the capital Wang Mansion to help Wang Daokun do something to usher in the send-off, Zhang Juzheng's home He also went to the Zhang family's invitation several times through the invitation of several sons of the Zhang family, but in the cabinet room in the palace city, he was still a big girl in the sedan chair, the first time he came back. The cabinet came to pass the word on a small official, although they all said that the prime minister was a seven-rank official in front of the door, and the small officials who worked in a place like the cabinet were definitely hot, but the other party was neither humble nor arrogant. There was neither excessive enthusiasm nor indifference, and a businesslike expression made Wang Fulin have some speculations about Zhang Juzheng's situation in charge of the cabinet.
If the attitude shown by this little official is not pretending, and the other officials used by the cabinet are also like this, then, just from the perspective of employing people, Zhang Juzheng really deserves his reputation!
The cabinet is located on the east side of the Huiji Gate, next to the palace wall to the south, and on the left and right are the Imperial Cabinet and the Imperial Decree Room. Originally it was a very low-rise temporary building. However, after many years of repair, especially in the later period of Jiajing, it has undergone large-scale renovation by Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong. Although it is not as good as the five mansions and five departments in the Qianbu Corridor outside, it is also very magnificent. In particular, Zhang Juzheng, the head of the cabinet, can be regarded as the most powerful since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although there are many officials and eunuchs who come in and out, there is no noise, and many people even deliberately suppress the sound of footsteps.
In this solemn atmosphere, Wang Fulin was also a little more cautious. However, although he was the person summoned by Zhang Juzheng, he still waited for a full two quarters of an hour before he reached a vacancy. In these two quarters of an hour, Zhang Juzheng not only saw the celebrant sent by Feng Bao, but also met Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, and Yin Zhengmao, the secretary of the household department, so he naturally didn't have any complaints. When it was his turn, he glanced at the other people who were still waiting in line out of the corner of his eye, and saw that all of them were higher grades than himself, thinking that today's scene was spread, and his reputation as a person that Zhang Juzheng appreciated was probably going to spread even more.
At the moment, it seems that this is really a big backer, but in the long run, it is simply not enough to die fast!
Zhang Juzheng's straight room where he lived and did errands, once lived in Gao Gong, Xu Jie, and Yan Song, with the best orientation and the most spacious room, but he was also as busy as the three masters. Therefore, when Wang Fulin came in, he didn't raise his head and dipped his pen in ink, until he saw that Wang Fulin had already bowed, he nodded and said, "Get up and talk, and then talk to you after I finish these books." ”
Hearing Zhang Juzheng say this, Wang Fulin stood up, and looked at this room that can now be regarded as representing the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty with his eyes very dishonestly. Except for the neat furniture, the furnishings are quite simple, but the shelves on all sides are full of all kinds of books or files, and there is no one to wait. When he found that Zhang Juzheng had put down the pen, he immediately retracted his gaze and lifted his spirit, but seeing that Zhang Juzheng just rubbed his wrist, and then began to concentrate on what he was thinking about again.
After waiting for another cup of tea, he heard Zhang Juzheng breathe a sigh of relief, and this time he finally really put down the pen and raised his head. Although he had seen it before, he saw that the gaze of this Ming Shoufu stayed on him for a long time, and he looked at it very carefully, so he simply let it look at it calmly.
"I haven't seen him for three years, but he has become famous, and sure enough, heroes have been young since ancient times."
"Shousuke-sama won the award, I really dare not take it." Wang Fulin wanted to rap a few words about the definition of a hero, but thinking about who Zhang Juzheng was, and what beautiful words he hadn't heard, he simply replied dryly, and decided to behave in a decent manner today, and the old man Chen Zhan's attitude towards himself seemed to be okay, but it was a big deal that he would stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few more days.
"Humility doesn't need to be used, using you to patrol the imperial history of Guangdong, it is my arbitrary, I originally thought that Lingyunyi was about to use soldiers to Luo next to the mountain, since you were born in Huizhou, and you have the reputation of the God of Wealth, maybe you can help Lingyunyi in the apportionment of military expenses and other aspects, who knows that you are greatly beyond my expectations." Ling Yunyi wrote to me again to recommend you before, saying that you are eclectic, not limited to the duties of a supervisor such as the supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if you can, you may as well send you another patrol to the imperial history. ”
This is really the most beautiful and delicious flatbread, but unfortunately I can't eat it!
If it weren't for Chen Zhan's definition of the big difference, the middle difference, and the small difference in the supervision of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the beginning, Wang Fulin would definitely be overjoyed. But now I know that I have been sent for a big term. One more time. The other imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are only afraid that they will not be able to attack them in groups. will also hate him to the core, he naturally did not dare to accept Ling Yunyi's recommendation, and immediately resigned righteously.
"Yuanfu, Ling Zhitai raises love, I am grateful. But I am now the superintendent of the Canton Provincial Imperial History, and now the rest of the Cantonese Provincial Superintendent Imperial History are all older and more senior than me, and the Guangdong Provincial Co-management Department is in charge of the Criminal Department, Ying Tianfu. In Jinghu Ben Left, Jiyang, Wuxiang Right, Shenyang Right, Wugong Left, Wugong Right, Xiaoling, Changling Eight Guards, and Zhili Yanqing Prefecture, Kaiping Zhongtun Guard, can patrol is a Guangdong, if I release the patrol press imperial history again, then where do I put my colleagues? Moreover, even if the Guangdong patrol is released after a year and a half, although there was such an old precedent in the past, after all, it was all an urgent matter, and a special case was handled. But Guangdong is under the rule of Ling, and it is too peaceful and stable. This is not the case. ”
Zhang Juzheng saw that Wang Fulin took the objective rules of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a prevarication, rather than subjective reasons such as insufficient ability, and specially explained that the two Guangdong governors were not feasible to press the imperial history, he was quite satisfied in his heart, and showed a rare smile for a while: "Don't you mention that you have made small contributions in Guangdong before, but you have not been rewarded accordingly?" ”
"Yuanfu also said that it was just a small achievement, how dare I dare to be rewarded?"
"You really don't want to?"
"I think I've thought about it, but haven't I also made mistakes?" Wang Fulin simply was honest and said bluntly, "After all, it is forbidden to patrol the imperial history and bring family members, and the merits and demerits are offset." ”
Zhang Juzheng took time out of his busy schedule to see Wang Fulin, of course, not for the current gossip. Since Wang Fulin behaved frankly, next, he asked Wang Fulin in detail about the big and small affairs during his tour of Guangdong. As a result, he was immediately attracted by Wang Fulin's vivid and detailed narration - it's really no wonder that Zhang Juzheng was moved by this kind of little trick, since he was selected as a Shujishi in the museum, he has been cultivating according to the standard storage standard, basically in the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian Zhan Shifu Department and Economic Bureau, such a noble yamen, and he has never even been out of Beijing!
And most of the inspectors who came to report in the past tried to figure out his preferences and try to be concise and to the point, for fear that a disagreement would provoke him to anger, where is Wang Fulin telling stories so unscrupulously?
However, Wang Fulin's story is also closely related to Guangdong's coastal defense, sea ban, Yao chaos and other major events!
Fortunately, the dignified Shoufu still has a good sense of time, and soon realized that time was too much, so he had to cough and signal Wang Fulin to stop, and finally said in a deep voice: "After you go back, write a detailed Chen Song, and you don't have to say anything more today." ”
"Yes, but I just returned to the Imperial Procuratorate, and I have no experience in supervising the imperial history before, so I have to be familiar with many affairs in Guangdong Province, but I am afraid that in a short period of time, this Chen Song will not be completed, and I ask Yuanfu to be more tolerant."
Zhang Juzheng asked who to do not do his best, but Wang Fulin was so embarrassed that he said that he wanted to delay, and he suddenly laughed dumbly. Think about it, there are indeed very few imperial historians such as Wang Fulin, a new jinshi is a patrol press as soon as he comes out, and he is relieved that he not only did not stab Lou Zi in Guangdong, but also made meritorious deeds. After a slight pause, he spoke: "You came back from Guangdong before, and you didn't use the full one hundred and twenty-eight day deadline, right?" That being the case, the time that has not been used up, I will give you leave, Zuodu Yushi Chen Zan is there, and I will say hello to him. ”
Because Xiaobei was pregnant, Wang Fulin walked a little slower on the way from Guangzhou to Huizhou, it took a month and a half, and he stayed in Huizhou for a few more days, and it only took two and a half months when he arrived in the capital like this, and if he really used up one hundred and twenty-eight days of leave, it means that he has at least one month at his disposal! As soon as he thought of this, Wang Fulin was overjoyed, and immediately thanked him, so that when he retired and left, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but be a little angry and funny.
When I said that I was reusing and saying that I was rewarding, this kid seemed to be very calm, and even tried to excuse himself, but this time he was immediately elated when he said that he was on vacation, and he dared to love this is a lazy person!
Of course, Zhang Juzheng also knew that Wang Fulin was not a lazy person who was simply unwilling to do things, otherwise he would have been able to follow the rules step by step after arriving in Guangzhou, and he would not have to take risks and take responsibility, but now that he thought of the scene of people leaving happily, he was a little distracted when he met the next person. People who are too utilitarian can use but need to be wary, while those who are lazy and unambitious need to be spurred, but in a sense they can be reassured. Wang Daokun is just a squire in the military department, and there is only one uncle who serves as a young Sima in the Beijing Division, which is full of powerful people, and Wang Fulin can't talk about a deep background.
The one who followed Wang Fulin to see Zhang Juzheng didn't notice Lord Shoufu's distraction at all, and even if he found out, he didn't dare to stop rashly, or cough. Moreover, with the example of Wang Fulin who had just occupied a lot of Shoufu's precious time, but his spirit was soaring, of course, he was also very hard talking, but just when he thought he was performing very well, he heard a gentle slap on the armrest, and he immediately stopped.
Zhang Juzheng just unconsciously patted the armrest, and found that the person in front of him was silent, he frowned, and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Yuan Fu, the Tan family ordered someone to report the funeral, and they have already handed Tan Butang's testament to the General Affairs Department, and the obituary has been sent!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng suddenly fell silent. When the Japanese were raging and the coastal lives were in misery, the military attaches had Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, and the civil officials were Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, but it was a pity that Hu Zongxian attached Yan Song Yan Shifan and his son, even if he rewarded his ability behind his back, it was impossible for him to say anything for Hu Zongxian when Xu Jie's liquidation afterwards. Tan Lun is different, if he hadn't repeatedly recommended Xu Jie, even if Tan Lun had risen to prominence in the Taizhou prefect and the deputy envoy of Zhejiang Haidao, it would have been difficult for him to stand out during Yan Song's reign. The two exchanged letters in private, and thus established a friendship for many years.
Moreover, just yesterday, he just received a private message dictated by Tan Lun and Tan Lun's eldest son Tan Xian, implying that Wang Chonggu can be the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Yingjie or Ling Yunyi can be the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Zhang Xueyan can be the governor of Jiliao, and he will be a candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of War in the future. If Tan Lun was still in good health, he would definitely be unhappy if he interfered in political affairs nakedly. But now that Tan Lun has gone, the meaning of this private message is completely different. After all, Tan Lun and several people don't have much friendship, at most Liu Yingjie is replacing him as the governor of Jiliao.
Even though he was terminally ill, Tan Lun still didn't forget to help his old friend, so that he could have enough seats to accommodate the people he valued!
For a while, Zhang Juzheng was no longer interested in listening to what the official in front of him said, and waved his hand lightly, and the person retreated very knowingly, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to reveal it easily. And Zhang Juzheng did not call the little official who reported the matter outside to come in, but after a long silence, he raised his voice and ordered: "Go to the General Affairs Department, bring Tan Zili's testament immediately, and then go to Tan's house to see how the funeral preparations are, and on the day of the funeral, I will personally go to mourn." ”
PS: There will be two more today, double the penultimate day, and then ask for a double monthly pass, thank you (^_^ to be continued.) )
