Chapter Ninety-One: Mingzhu Throws His Sword at Night
"Close ministers, fortunate ministers, after all, they have to bear the infamy of the last life, if they want to be praised behind their deaths and write history, they still have to make contributions and expand their territory......"
When he left Tan Lun's mansion, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Tan Lun's consciousness was no longer clear, and the last few words were murmured.
Wang Tong was riding on a horse, and was blown by the cold wind, and his brain was a little clearer, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tong, an official who was so concerned with state affairs, was the first time to see it.
As for leaving a name in history or being infamous after his death, Wang Tong has a clear distinction in his heart, no matter what the name is, it is just a matter of death, and when he is alive, he has glory and wealth, which is the most real thing.
What really made him feel a little inexplicable was actually a trust made by Tan Lun when he was still conscious, the old man pointed to the housekeeper Tan Jiang, and Tan Bing Tan Jian recorded below said:
"These sons have followed me a lot, I don't know where my home is for a long time, once the old man goes, they have nowhere to go, it is a pity to go back to the countryside to farm, it is a pity that they have the ability, let them follow you, and go to your side to be a helper."
At that time, Tan Lun was in charge of military affairs as a civilian official in the southeast and north, and he was also accompanied by his own soldiers, and Tan General and others were the remnants who have been following him until now.
This really made Wang Tong confused and frightened, what he did was completely to please Emperor Wanli, but after this trouble, it seemed to be much nobler all of a sudden.
The military department Shangshu is an important minister of the state, he entrusts his family and soldiers to himself, and he doesn't know what others will think, thinking about the two people who are loyal to the family, but have the responsibility of monitoring Tan Lun, Wang Tong thinks about his side again, and he is indeed cold and awe-inspiring.
On the afternoon of March 23, Emperor Wanli came to the martial arts hall with a large burden of snacks as yesterday, and the teenagers had no resistance to food.
However, after those events last night, Wang Tong was also a little heavy-minded, and Li Hutou whispered during the intermission:
"Brother Wang, there are ten more than yesterday, and when a few people ran over, they quarreled with that kid from Litao, they deserved it!!"
Wang Tong smiled and there was no interface, Emperor Wanli would have to face hundreds of civil and military officials sooner or later, to balance and control among those people, to divide and win over, if even these simple-minded teenagers can't handle it now, then there is no need to be this emperor.
When running today, Emperor Wanli was still thrown down by the large army and asked everyone to wait at the finish line, but the whispered complaints and malice of the teenagers today were much less than before, and many people looked at Emperor Wanli running over with a smile, and the pulling effect of those sweet snacks appeared.
After the end of this afternoon's class, the Wanli Emperor fell at the end as usual, many teenagers said hello to the Wanli Emperor, this kind of companionship made the little emperor's interest very high, and when the people were almost clean, the little emperor grabbed Wang Tong and asked with interest:
"Wang Tong, did you really look at the ants under the trees when you were a child?"
Wang Tong wondered in his heart, is this indeed an allusion, but the words have already been said, changing his words will definitely cause such and such trouble, he has already thought about the plan when he came back last night, and now he directly pointed to his own house not far away and said:
"Your Majesty, look, there is a jujube tree planted in the villain's house, and it is very interesting to squat down and watch the ants when he had nothing to do in the past."
Seeing how ants act, this is almost everyone's childhood experience, but whether you can see some truth from it, this is human consciousness and wisdom.
As soon as Wang Tong said this, Emperor Wanli really looked in the direction he pointed, and only nodded after seeing the jujube tree, and said with some excitement:
"Wang Tong, do you know that Tan Lun is known as the most knowledgeable Wenchen in Daming, it is said that his understanding of military affairs is also the actions of ants and spiders when he was a child, and he came up with a lot of truths, but I didn't expect you and Tan Shangshu to be almost ......"
When Wang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said humbly:
"How can a villain be compared to Lord Tan, he can't afford it, he can't afford it."
It can be seen that the little emperor didn't take this too seriously, and after pulling this, he hurriedly greeted Li Hutou, who was walking in front, and the two of them talked and laughed together.
Next to the small mansion of the Empress Dowager Li in the Forbidden City, there is a side hall of considerable scale, and most of the queen mothers and internal officials are in their own mansions, but if you want to see foreign officials, they are all in that side hall.
On the top of the very elegant lobby, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting stood on both sides, and the Empress Dowager Li sat in the middle, blocked by a beaded curtain in front of her.
On both sides of the bead curtain, Feng Bao stood on the outside with his head bowed, and a set of tables and chairs were placed further outward, and Zhang Juzheng, the head of the cabinet in a bright red official robe, was sitting sideways.
Empress Dowager Li held this fold in her hand, and there was also one in Zhang Juzheng's hand, both of them were looking down at this fold, and after a while, Empress Dowager Li coughed lightly, Feng Bao immediately turned around and nodded, turned around and said:
"Go down, all of you, and don't come in unless you have been commanded."
The palace maids and eunuchs who were standing hurriedly bowed and retreated, and only when the three of them were left in the hall of the side hall did Empress Dowager Li ask:
"Feng Bao, have you checked carefully over here over there, Wang Tong?"
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, this morning, the slave called the people from Dongchang and Zhenfu Division, and went through Wang Tong's birth experience from beginning to end, and found nothing wrong, Wang Tong is indeed smarter than ordinary children, willing to learn literacy, willing to learn martial arts to strengthen his body, rarely play with children of the same age since childhood, and the slave also found out something new, according to Wang Tong's 100 households, his father Wang Li once boasted with his colleagues that his children even know what to eat is good for their bodies."
Hearing Feng Bao's report, the Queen Mother behind the bead curtain was silent for a while, and then asked:
"Has this child been filial to his father for the past few years or has it always been like this?"
In fact, this has been said a long time ago, but Feng Bao naturally won't be annoyed, and then he bowed down and said:
"This has been mentioned in the report of the Zhenfu Division, since Wang Tong came sensible, he has shown quite pure filial piety, and Wang Li has been praised outside all day long, and he has heard it in the Jinyi army."
Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng put down the fold in his hand, groaned and said:
"The minister has thought about it from the beginning, if there is really any plan to premeditate, it will not be coincidentally synthesized like this, Tan Zili (Tan Lun) is the courtier of the first emperor's credit, and he has received the great favor of the saint today, if you want to say that there is any selfish minister, what he said last night, I also told the minister before, the reason why the eyeliner of Dongchang and Zhenfu Division was directly presented, there is also the meaning of the secret decree, and the queen mother is inevitably worried."
Since Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, among the courtiers who dare to say that the Queen Mother is worried, I am afraid that only this Zhang Juzheng is alone, he reached out and stroked the thick beard under his chin, and said in a deep voice:
"The rules of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, the students have every time, and the ministers have also asked the experts of the military department and the Beijing camp, and they are full of praise, saying that this set is a really good method, and many people want to copy a copy to discuss it!"
Feng Bao interface on the side said:
"The slave also asked the battalion officer of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and they said that the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion is more suitable for training generals, rather than training soldiers, and if these generals are not slacking off, they are all the seeds of the Ming Dynasty, and they will definitely be of great use to the country in the future."
The side hall was quiet for a while, and the Empress Dowager Li behind the bead curtain said quietly:
"I thought he was a playmate with a good heart, but later I saw that he was a diligent person who had a heart to do things, but I didn't expect Tan Shangshu to say that this is my famous general seed of the Ming Dynasty......"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li laughed a few times, and could see her shaking her head and saying:
"The mourning family never believed in Su Hui, nor did they believe that something big would suddenly appear, but what Wang Tong did, he couldn't help but believe in the mourning family."
How could a character like Feng Bao not hear the change in the Queen Mother's mood, and bowed down and said with a smile:
"Queen Mother, some people are indeed blessed by the gods, isn't Zhang Ge Lao?"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Li chuckled lightly, Zhang Juzheng is also a famous young genius in Huguang, it is said that when he went to participate in the township examination at the age of thirteen, he was amazingly talented, and he should be in high school. However, Gu Gong, the governor of Huguang, was unwilling to let the young man become famous prematurely and was impetuous, so he was promoted at the age of sixteen, and then went all the way, and became a jinshi at the age of twenty-three.
This was also a famous example at the time, Zhang Juzheng was also called a "prodigy", no wonder Feng Bao made fun of this.
One is the queen mother, and the other is the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, and Zhang Juzheng can only smile at the teasing of these two, and lean over and say:
"The queen mother is close to the emperor, the heart of the mother, the heart of the world, the ministers are admired, but Wang Tong is only fourteen years old this year, everything is still early, there is still a lot of time, observe his words and watch his deeds, if it is really not too late to teach and promote talents, there is no need to rush at this time."
This is a safe way to become old, Empress Dowager Li nodded again and again.
The sky is getting dark, but Mingchun Tower has reached the most lively moment of the day, this famous Qinglou in the south of the city is brightly lit, but it is not as lively as before.
In a circle in front of the door of the Joy Seeker, the women of Mingchun Building looked at the door with uneasy expressions, and there stood three Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits and pressing their hands on the hilt of knives, one of them was not tall, but his voice was quite loud:
"Qinglou gambling house, are the place of hiding dirt and dirt, in order to ensure the tranquility of the place, the orderly operation of all places, in the future, the 6,000 households and 700 households of Jinyiwei will implement the license access, please go to Zhang Xiaoqi as soon as possible to handle the certificate, if there is no certificate to operate, it will be severely punished!!"
Sun Dahai has no culture, this rather neat sentence stumbled a few times before he finished speaking, after he finished speaking, Mingchun Lou was unusually quiet on the left, and suddenly a yin and yang strange voice said on the side:
"Who should I be so majestic, it turned out to be Sun Xiaoqi of Niulan Street!?"
