On the second day, the exile of officials who had done a lot of evil things, the dismissal of officials, and the few who did too much were also punished by the Ming Dynasty.

For a while, the Ming officialdom was a lot cleaner.

Except for a few Qing nobles who were not visited by Jinyiwei because of their clean foundations, they still impeached Zhang Ru unrelentingly, other newly appointed Beijing officials, old officials, and did not have too many radical moves.

Qiu Jun's entry into the cabinet still brought a new atmosphere to the Ming Dynasty, and at least one official did not dare to do anything wrong. Because this elder is different from Liu Ji and Liu Gelao, he does things and has his own standards.

As the year approached, most of the officials rested, and the few officials on duty also stayed listlessly in the duty room. During this time, it was not a matter of urgency, and it would not have been transmitted to the capital at all.

The Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town was on duty, and it was Wang Zhou and Fan Tong.

Fan Tong is because he has no fixed residence, Dingbian Hou's Mansion is his home, and he has only one relative, that is Fan Wuyi.

Wang Zhou took the initiative to ask to stay on duty, but Zhang Ru was a little surprised, but he was busy drinking with a group of nobles in the past few days, and he didn't have time to care about Wang Zhou.

Tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Dingbian Marquis Mansion welcomes an uninvited guest, the new official Shangshu Wang Shu.

"Lord Wang came to the Humble House, I don't know what is important?" The guest and host sat down and served tea, Zhang Ru crossed Erlang's legs and asked.

As a junior, he shouldn't do this action, but as a master, there is nothing wrong with him doing this action.

In terms of identity, he is a noble, the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to respect Wang Shu too much.

Wang Shu didn't care about this little action, and sneered: "I took the liberty to come to the door, there is a lot of disturbance, and I ask the Hou Ye not to be surprised." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "You are Wang Zhou's relative, don't be so polite when talking to the kid." What is the Hou Ye and not the Hou Ye, just call me Wenxuan, but what is not used to in the capital? ”

As he spoke, he lowered his upturned legs and placed his hands flat on his knees.

Wang Shu showed a helpless look on his face: "I can't hide it, this rash visit is because of that bastard boy." ”

Zhang Ru said: "Wang Zhou is not mixed, he helped me a lot in Jinyiwei, without him, Jinyiwei will weaken the combat effectiveness by at least three points." ”

In front of his subordinates, of course, he did not hesitate to praise him, not to mention Wang Zhou's ability, which is indeed worthy of these praises.

"Wen Xuan should know that my Wang family is a scholarly family." Wang Shu suddenly burst out of nowhere.

Zhang Ru nodded: "Wang Zhou can be regarded as both civil and military." ”

"Then you should also know that Jinyiwei's reputation in Daming is not too good." Wang Shu said again.

As soon as he said this, Zhang Ru immediately understood why Wang Shu chose to be in the twenty-ninth ****, and in the final analysis, it was for the sake of the reputation of the civil official.

The smile was still on his face, but the smile was a little colder: "I know. ”

Wang Shu, who was old and refined, didn't notice the change in Zhang Ru's face, in fact, this old official was not a person who was good at observing words and feelings. Otherwise, he has served 19 terms as an official, and he will not be placed in a place like Nanjing that is not a real center every time.

"I want him to take the imperial examination and take the official career, but this bastard boy disagrees, and he has a quarrel with the old man. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, he had no intention of going back, so the old man came this time to ask Wen Xuan to help persuade him, and he could put aside anything else, at least go back to the family for the New Year first. The old wife at home is frail and sickly, and she loves Xiao Zhou the most, and she hasn't given her husband a good face for several days. Wang Shu said abruptly.

Wang Zhou is the grandson of the Wang family, and the other brothers are all on the career path, and it was Wang Shu's idea to leave the Wang family back then.

But in the Wang family, it is not his grandfather Wang Shu who really values him the most, but his grandmother.

Wang Shu noticed that his grandson was also after Wang Zhou had become prosperous in Jinyiwei in the past two years. During this period, Wang Shu was even very dissatisfied with some of his grandson's performances, and personally wrote a letter to scold Wang Zhou. However, Wang Zhou ignored his grandfather's questioning.

Zhang Ru was embarrassed: "Lord Shangshu, this is a difficult boy, Wang Zhou doesn't want to go home, there must be a reason why he doesn't want to go home." Just like the boss doesn't like Jinyiwei, maybe Wang Zhou doesn't like that cold home. ”

Hearing Zhang Ru compare Jinyiwei with the Wang family, Wang Shu couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "What does Hou Ye mean by this?" ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "It's not interesting, I just want to tell the boss that Jinyiwei is not as unbearable as the boss thinks." And the Qingliu civil official in the eyes of adults is not as innocent as adults think. Didn't the old man see those imperial historians who were executed by Jinyi Wei some time ago? ”

Wang Shu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Those are all scum among the literati, and they are not enough." ”

Zhang Ru glanced at Wang Shu coldly: "Can the boss dare to say that all the civil officials in the capital are as incorruptible as the boss?" Don't talk about others, just say that the boss can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, and there is the credit of those corrupt officials. The kid doesn't know if the boss really doesn't know or if he doesn't know, the ice and charcoal sent every year, the boss refuses, but there is no shortage of ice and charcoal every year, why is this? ”

Wang Shu's old face turned red, and it was not easy to argue.

Every year, someone will send the silver to the house, and if he doesn't accept it, it doesn't mean that some officials in his family won't accept it.

It's just that because of the situation, he has always turned a blind eye, if he really says it, except for him and his wife, I am afraid that no one in his family will have good fruit to eat.

Some time ago, Jin Yiwei wantonly arrested corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and did not arrest the Wang family from beginning to end, including Wang Zhou's credit.

However, the credit is attributed, Wang Shu still felt that Jinyiwei was not a place for scholars, so the old master insisted on asking his grandson Wang Zhou to leave Jinyiwei to take the imperial examination.

But Wang Zhou, who has taken root in Jinyiwei and has a lot of feelings for Jinyiwei, does not agree with his grandfather's so-called career statement at all. He believed that as long as he could serve the imperial court, everything he did was the same.

The contradictions between each other broke out completely after the curtain came down on the Jinyiwei and the civil war. So by being on duty, Wang Zhou didn't even bother to go home.

For the sake of Wang Shu being Wang Zhou's grandfather, Zhang Ru didn't continue to attack, and said in a slightly softened tone: "My lord, go back first!" On Wang Zhou's side, I will talk to him when I find time, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to go back for the New Year. ”

How can I say that I was able to return to Shuntianfu in Beiping from Nanjing Yingtianfu, which has a lot of credit for Zhang Ru, and Wang Shu is not too good to be too senior in front of Zhang Ru.

However, he didn't leave, but asked: "You said that Jinyiwei is not as unbearable as the old man imagined, but what actions do you have to make?" ”

Wang Shu is not only an official, he is also a politician, and he can still grasp certain politically sensitive issues immediately.

Zhang Ru smiled: "What does the boss want Jinyiwei to do?" ”

Wang Shu's answer was very direct: "The old man's hope alone is just empty words, and it will not play any role at all. The most important thing is whether you, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will do anything beneficial to the country and the people. Daming is stormy, and many things have changed from the bones. ”

Zhang Ru nodded in agreement: "What the old man said is good, Daming has a lesion in his bones, and what I want to do is to pull out these diseases from his bones." To do this, it is not something that I, Zhang Wenxuan, can do by myself, I need the help of civil officials, the help of honorable people, and the help of military generals. But when it touches the interests of some people, they will attack me wantonly, whether it is a civil official, a noble, or a military general, as long as it touches their fundamental interests, this huge court will have no place for Zhang Wenxuan to stand. ”

Some heart-wrenching words made Wang Shu's eyes light up, it seems that this young man's intentions are not small.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little worried, can Da Ming really pull out those major and minor illnesses from the root one by one as this young man said?

"When will it move?" As an excellent politician, how could he not know the meaning of Zhang Ru's words.

This is nothing more than naked co-optation, as for what the young Jinyi Guard commander will do, Wang Shu doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know. So he didn't immediately express his willingness to be co-opted, but he didn't immediately refuse.

"After the New Year, we will change the yuan, we will amnesty the world, we will open Enke, and then it will be the time for us to show our strength." Zhang Ru gave an ambiguous answer.

He didn't know exactly when he would do it, so he didn't give an exact time.

The maladministration of feudal society must be eliminated, and it cannot be done blindly and brutally.

After all, there are a lot of real changes in history, and Wu Qi during the Warring States period was ruined. Qin Guo produced a successful Shang Ying, but his final outcome was very tragic. The car was cracked, and even the whole body could not be saved.

Looking at Wang Anshi's change of law a little closer, he did it with great fanfare, and then violated the interests of the elite class, and in the end it was still over.

The Ming Dynasty also underwent reforms, and after a few decades of Zhang Juzheng's reforms, it also violated the interests of the elite class.

Therefore, Zhang Ru knows that he can't change the law in a hurry.

He didn't even want to mention the name of the change, he just wanted to be like flowing water, a little bit of erosion, a little bit of change in Daming.

Of course, these things can't be said to Wang Shu.

If you say it, I'm afraid that there is no need for other officials to oppose it, and Wang Shu, an old antique, is the first to stand up and oppose it.

Wang Shu also saw that his words were not true, and said helplessly: "Okay, the old man will leave first, and next year, the old man will watch." ”

Zhang Ru smiled and got up to send him off: "Don't worry, boss, the kid is not a nonsense person." ”

Wang Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that you are not a person who comes from Hulai, so there will be no person from Hu in the Ming Dynasty.

After sending Wang Shu away, Zhang Ru was in a good mood and asked Wang Zhou, who was on duty in Beizhen Fusi, to call over.
