Seeing Zhang Jian jump out without hesitation, Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fang were also a little helpless. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info The thoughts of these old ministers of the former dynasty are naturally clear, they are all people who are used to seeing strong winds and waves, and they can come to this day step by step, to say that they have no skills and skills, it is impossible to rush forward just by virtue of their blood, and obviously Zhang Jian doesn't even ask what happened, this is a clear attitude and does not want to participate, Zhang Jian, who has always had the best temper, is like this, not to mention Wang Jian or Jiang Wanli.

These two old ministers have been out of the court for a long time, and they are obviously more reluctant to get involved in the dispute again.

Looking at the two juniors with a look of loss on their faces, Zhang Jian still sighed softly: "Although the old man is not interested in what you want to do or what difficulties you have encountered, I still don't mind reminding you, now that the Ming Dynasty has defeated the Mongolian Tatars, even if there are some people who have complained about the death of their families in battle, but you should not forget that the court's pension is very thick, otherwise there would not be so many people joining the army at that time, so the people's hearts are still towards Your Majesty and the court in the final analysis. In the same way, there are also those big families in the north, the Ming Dynasty beat the Mongolian Tartars down, if they don't have anything to say, how can they explain to the world? Even if there are some people who are not honest and want to take this opportunity to stir up the tide, it is not so easy, and the thousands of people in the world still have an invincible army, will they sit idly by? ”

"This ······" Wen Tianxiang's faces changed slightly.

Zhang Jian smiled and stretched out his hand to knock on the table: "As long as the people's hearts are there, the army's hearts are there, if you can't turn the sky upside down, it will be two days at most, you guys, you are fans of the authorities!" If something really happens, Your Majesty can't control it anymore, will you two come to the old man in a good way? I've dragged everyone to the imperial study a long time ago! ”

Zhang Jian said it easily, but Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fang didn't dare to really breathe a sigh of relief, they all looked at Zhang Jian suspiciously. Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Okay, okay, the old man has said enough, you two boys don't have to use their minds to deal with the old man here, a Zuo Prime Minister and a household secretary are not fools, if you don't understand this truth, the position under your ass will not be stable for a long time." Let's go, let's go! ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled bitterly, this old fox who has been in the officialdom all his life and has experienced the ups and downs of the late Song Dynasty is really not so easy to talk about. He and Xie Fangde did have some fans of the authorities at the beginning, but as long as Zhang Jian said a few words, in fact, the two of them had already figured it out, but Zhang Jian, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, would definitely surpass the two of them a lot in terms of knowledge and thoughts, so it was better to pretend to be confused and let Zhang Jian open his mouth to give advice.

And obviously Zhang Jian was not fooled, of course, what he said was not unreasonable. If the prime minister and monk of the Ming Dynasty can't figure out this problem, and they still need these old ministers to come and give careful guidance, then the Ming Dynasty is really almost over.

No longer hesitating at the moment, Wen Tianxiang took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Old Xianggong, the two of us came this time, in addition to wanting to ask the old Xianggong for advice, I also want to ask the old Xianggong to go out and write a letter to the old people who are familiar with the old people in the journey of the Huan Hai and the academies everywhere, indicating the attitude of the imperial court and the old Xianggong's own suggestions." ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "The old man knows that you two guys came here in the middle of the night, so there is nothing good to ensure that there is nothing good." It's no wonder that the two of you are so bold, this is not the two ministers of the court who came over without worry, and the dare behind them is the meaning of His Majesty, right? ”

Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fang glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile and arch their hands at the same time: "The old man is very smart, I admire him!" ”

"I don't need you two to pat yourself on the back at this time!" Zhang Jian was obviously angry that these two guys deliberately deceived at the beginning, and even pointed out that he didn't know the situation, and even worried about whether they would arouse Ye Yingwu's suspicion and worry, he didn't expect that he claimed to be an old man in the officialdom, but he still didn't see through the intentions of these two guys.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang and the two of them didn't explicitly say that it was Ye Yingwu standing behind them at the beginning, otherwise Zhang Jian would definitely have passed perfunctory in two sentences. After all, seeing the two of them coming alone, it was obvious that he had just received the news and was a little panicked, so Zhang Jian, as an elder, kindly gave a few words, so as to prevent him from being completely involved in this trend, and now that Wen Tianxiang brought out His Majesty in a hurry, the meaning is naturally very clear.

Your old man sees the situation so clearly, then there is nothing to discuss, this time it has to be your old man!

Zhang Jian sat down slowly, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard: "This is what Your Majesty means?" ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded solemnly, and walked directly to Zhang Jian's table: "Old Xianggong, in fact, you also know very well that this is a war that cannot use the army, in other words, it is a struggle between the people, if the hearts of the people in the world no longer belong to the Ming Dynasty, then even if there is a strong army, it is useless." And this time our opponents are not the powerful Mongols, but our own people, in short, the scholar family and the landlord family, Shinong industry and commerce, Shinong industry and commerce, now the imperial court relies on the support of industry and commerce to achieve the victory of the Northern Expedition, there must be a great return on industry and commerce, the Shi peasant class will naturally feel threatened, maybe their original intention is just to stop the war to prevent the rise of the industrial and commercial class, but once this tide rolls up, there are still a few people who can control it, who can guarantee that the world will not be in chaos? When the time comes, it will be the destruction of life and the sinking of Shenzhou, and it is not impossible for the Mongolian Tatars to make a comeback! ”

Zhang Jian frowned, and muttered: "So Your Majesty directly adopted the method of dividing and attacking, pulling over all the people who could be co-opted, and then striking at those who could not be co-opted, so that the scholar family, which already had many contradictions, was easy to break out into conflict, and the original resolute opposition to the imperial court would naturally collapse, and their family would naturally turn into the spoils of the victors, so although it was very noisy, but in fact, only the scholar family and the landlord family were hit, Moreover, in the form of the enlargement of the power of one family by annexing another, in the final analysis these interests are the interests of these two classes, but concentrated in the hands of the victors. As for the business class, it has not been hit in any way, and it is even possible that it will continue to grow because of this. ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled and nodded, Zhang Jian obviously said nothing good. In fact, this is an easy-to-understand strategy, but all three people in the room know that this is a very simple method that, if used correctly, can be deadly. Because after all, not every family can abandon their past suspicions and join hands with the former hostile family, and not every family has the courage to stand up against the court, as long as it can win over a small half of the people, the court has already won.

According to a very true sentence in the afterlife in another time and space, what is the difference between opposing the violent organs of the state and dying?

And Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fangde, who also belong to the scholar class and the landlord class, must be on the side of Ye Yingwu and the imperial court, and now they still need someone who can attract more family forces to come over and completely reverse everything, and this candidate is obviously Zhang Jian, who is sitting there quietly.

"Why the old man? A handful of old bones, I still have to accompany you young people to toss. Zhang Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Could it be that you think the old man is a bully?" ”

Xie Fang chuckled: "This Zhang Xianggong is too worried, the old Xianggong has always been friendly, and there are many relatives and friends, so it is naturally better for the old Xianggong to come forward." And the old minister thinks that His Majesty will only invite the old minister to do it alone, tell the old minister the truth, and the two of us will go to the palace of the old minister Wang, the old minister of Jiang and the old minister of Chen, and the messenger sent by His Majesty has been eight hundred miles to rush to Duchang. ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, Wang Lao Xianggong is Wang Yao, Jiang Lao Xianggong is Jiang Wanzai, and Chen Lao Xianggong is Chen Zongli, these are all veterans of the Three Dynasties who are still in the capital, and they are also the ones who rule the world.

And Duchang is not to mention, that is the foundation of the Jiang family, and now Jiang Wanli and Jiang Wanqing are also living in seclusion in Duchang, and sending people to Duchang is obviously to ask these two old ministers to write a letter or come forward directly. If Zhang Jian and they all have a certain appeal among the scholars, then Jiang Wanli can be said to be the chief of the scholars, and the world's scholars may have doubts about the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences of the imperial court, but in front of Jiang Wanli, who is not respectful and obedient?

Not to mention that the old Xianggong Jiang faced Jia Rudao without giving in in the court at the beginning, which is admirable enough, just because the old Xianggong attaches the most importance to opening a school in his career as an official, and he is a first-class scholar, and now in Shilin, as long as he is a scholar, there are more or less teachers who are born in the school opened by Jiang Wanli, Jiang Wanli is their out-and-out master and even an ancestor-level figure, even if he has an opinion on Jiang Wanli's call, he has to be respectful on the surface, Otherwise, a hat that does not respect the teacher will be buttoned down, and it will be enough to eat.

"Your Majesty is really quick and ruthless," Zhang Jian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "That's it, that's it, Your Majesty has a will, how dare the old minister disobey?" The two of you came to find the old man first, and you must have taken a fancy to the old man's soft temperament and open-mouthedness, but I didn't expect that it was really the trick of the two young people! You go to Wang Zhongqian (Wang Zhongqian) next, as soon as the old man says that he has already written, it is estimated that Wang Zhongqian will agree after weighing it! ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The old minister is smart, in fact, he doesn't hide it from the old minister, in the letter sent to Duchang, His Majesty directly said that several old ministers in Beijing agreed, and sent two old ministers of Jiang to come forward with them." ”

"You little bunnies!" Zhang Jian sighed, and Xie Fang quickly stepped forward to study ink for the old man, very quick, stomped his feet, Zhang Jian said with a wry smile, "If my family Ziyu is here, he will definitely let him directly beat you two little rabbit cubs out of the door!" ”

Wen Tianxiang and Xie Fang didn't dare to say anything more, after all, although Zhang Jian had already agreed semi-forcedly, it didn't mean that the old man was in a good mood now. After the two of them saluted neatly, they walked out of the study neatly, of course, it may be more appropriate to run away from the wilderness.

Walking all the way outside the house, the two looked at each other before they smiled. The moonlight sprinkled on the front of the stairs, and also on the two of them. With a slight cough, Wen Tianxiang straightened his waist and walked out, while Xie Fang shook his head helplessly and kept up with their pace.

And the two didn't know, just behind them, Zhang Jian stood in front of the half-covered window, quietly watching the backs of the two people leaving, sighed softly, and sighed with emotion: "Fighting with Your Majesty and these people is really a hatchet." ”

Following the figures of the two people, Zhang Jian's gaze fell on the ground unconsciously, the moonlight sprinkled on the branches and leaves, and the frost at night on the branches and leaves flickered with glittering light, but at the tips of the leaves, the frost had turned into morning dew, swaying in the wind, crumbling.

"Fighting Chanjuan in the frost in the middle of the month," Zhang Jian couldn't help but chant in a low voice, and immediately showed a smile, "This bright moon is not the sun and the moon, and the frost melts, which is really a good sign." ”

——————————————————

The city of Nanjing, under the bright moon, experienced a night of peace and quiet, but there was an undercurrent. Even some petty officials who usually don't have access to the upper echelons can smell the strange atmosphere in the wind somewhat, and they are doubly careful when they get up on duty in the morning.

Sometimes the swept tide may not be able to shake the bigwigs of the dynasty, but these petty officials and officials may be dragged out to take the blame at some point, and in order not to be wronged in no clarity, they are also afraid, for fear that there will be a fatal threat hidden in any detail or official document they handle.

And Wen Tianxiang, who had been busy all night, walked into the back house of his home in the morning light. The rules of the Ming Dynasty are that there is a small dynasty in five days and a large dynasty in seven days, so Wen Tianxiang only needs to go to work in the political hall today. The whole family had been waiting for the husband to come back, and when he saw his husband who was still wearing morning dew and looking tired, Ou hurriedly beckoned the maids to come up and wait for Wen Tianxiang to change his clothes.

"How?" Ou Shi asked nervously, as Wen Tianxiang's wife, although she has seen a lot of storms with Wen Tianxiang over the years, and has already looked down on fame and fortune, but she also understands a truth, the higher she stands, the harder she falls, before Wen Tianxiang was in the former Song Dynasty, he won the top prize, thanks to the emperor's words, it was the most beautiful and promising time, but he fell down from a height, if it wasn't for Ye Yingwu taking him to the Xingguo Army, I'm afraid Wen Tianxiang still doesn't know where to be free, And now Wen Tianxiang is even more expensive as the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is far from being able to compare with a champion at that time, if something goes wrong this time, maybe he will fall even worse.

With a smile on his face, Wen Tianxiang nodded: "Don't worry, with your husband coming out and Xie Jun directly helping, it will naturally be very smooth." Those old ministers are not stupid, this country was fought by their children and grandchildren with blood and sweat, even if they are not for anything else, for their own sons, they have to reach out at this time. With them coming forward, His Majesty will naturally win. ”

"That's good," although Ou Shi had already guessed this result - otherwise his husband would not go home but go directly to the palace - but still subconsciously reached out and patted his chest gently, breathing a sigh of relief, "Change your clothes and eat something, run around all night, and rest." ”

Wen Tianxiang smiled and followed Ou's, while several children were already sitting quietly at the dining table, and when they saw their parents coming over, they stood up at the same time: "The children have seen their father and mother." ”

"Sit down." Wen Tianxiang waved his hand, the warmth of the family made him feel that his fatigue had dissipated in an instant, and the hard work of running around at night was not only for Daming, but also for himself, but also for protecting this family.

No matter who it is, there is always something that you want to protect, so as to place your hopes and expectations on yourself, for Wen Tianxiang, it is naturally this country and this family.

"Husband, do you still remember, His Majesty once praised Dao Sheng before, and now Dao Sheng is also a half-sized young man, Your Majesty has always wanted to find a companion for the emperor's eldest son, what do you think of Dao Sheng?" Ou Shi did not sit down in a hurry, but said in a low voice, with an expectant look in his eyes. Ye Yingwu's praise of Wen Daosheng was the glory of the entire Wen family, and Ou Shi, a mother, naturally wanted her son to be able to stand on a higher place when he was young.

Wen Tianxiang's expression moved, and he looked at his knotted wife with some ridicule and said, "What's the matter, you have also started to seek wealth for your son?" ”
