Chapter 283: First Sight, Secret Loss

Who sent someone to the cabinet to find him, Wang Tong's mind was full of this when he was on the road.

The soldier who came to report the news was not cautious enough, thinking that he had done secrecy and did not name anyone, but when the word cabinet was spoken, did he need to say anything else?

At present, there are a total of five members in the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, Ma Ziqiang and Li Youzi.

Who could it be, since the court discussion of guarding the system and seizing affection, although it was Wang Tong's suggestion that prompted Emperor Wanli to seize Zhang Juzheng's affection, but Wang Tong became a thorn in Zhang Juzheng's side.

With the proposal of Wang Tong one by one and the implementation of various measures, Wang Tong and Zhang Juzheng became more and more opposed, Wang Tong himself did not think of any conflict, but the first assistant Lord Zhang regarded him as a minister who bewitched the saint.

At present, Zhang Ge Lao is the head of the bureaucrats of the Ming Empire, and confronting him is tantamount to opposing the entire civil official group, and it is difficult step by step, that is, the protection of Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong's own caution, so there is no accident today.

But in this way, Wang Tong only felt that he was too powerful and lonely, and someone in the cabinet sent a letter, and it would definitely not be official business to get this posture.

Who will send him a private message, and who will say something to him in private, Zhang Juzheng naturally does not have any position to have a private relationship with himself, but the other four, no matter who contacts him, it means that the camp has loosened.

Before he was sniped by archers, Wang Tong was often followed by three or five cavalry in and out of the city, but now he is escorted by fifty cavalry guards, wrapping him in the center.

Tianjin City is not a big place in the first place, if there is really another attack, as long as the fifty cavalry who are fully armed hold it, within half an hour, the Jinyi guards inside and outside the city will rush to the rescue.

After entering the city, it was not long to the side of the drum tower, and Sun Dahai could be seen walking around the door with an embroidered spring knife, and the brocade guards were distributed in the streets and houses.

Seeing Wang Tong coming, someone hurriedly ran over to greet him, Wang Tong went to the door of the house and dismounted, Sun Dahai came up and whispered:

"It was said that the Qing Ke who was driven out of Shen Shixing's house has been invited to stay in the inner house."

"Shen Shixing, the scholar of the East Pavilion University and the scholar of the Ministry of Rites?"

Wang Tong asked in surprise, Sun Dahai nodded solemnly, Wang Tong shook his head, he didn't expect it to be related to Shen Shixing.

The bigwigs of the DPRK and China, Zhang Siwei is in the military department, Ma Ziqiang is in the household department, and Li Youzi is in the official department, although these three people are only Zhang Juzheng and Ma are the first to look forward, but they have different backgrounds and have their own systems, the military department, the household department, and the official department are all large departments, and they are heavy and financial, step by step, and everyone has their own team of subordinates.

And Shen Shixing was born in the Criminal Department, he has no real power, there have been many major cases in Jiajing and Long Qingnian, and the Criminal Department has changed several times.

When several other people arrived in the cabinet, they saw that Zhang Juzheng was in power, and his family was like a secretary and a scribe, maybe they had some resentment in their hearts, or they wanted to fight in court, and they wanted to find foreign aid outside Zhang Juzheng's pattern.

Jingshi has a saying that "big things ask big Zhang, small things look for small Zhang", Zhang Juzheng adjudicates everything, Zhang Siwei deals with small internal affairs, in other words, without Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei can also stand in the court, Ma Ziqiang and Li Youzi are not like Zhang Siwei, but there is a similar situation.

Shen Shixing couldn't do this, he could have today's status, all because of Zhang Juzheng's appreciation and promotion, and he was also trusted in the Ministry of Rites, lonely and alone.

This should be completely dependent on Zhang Juzheng's role, but he sent someone to contact Wang Tong's side, and the reason for this is really intriguing.

"There are so many people watching outside, those ears and eyes don't know what's going on, so they can't desperately inquire and think, and those maids in our inner house have to keep an eye on it!"

After dismounting, Wang Tong smiled and whispered to Sun Dahai, Sun Dahai nodded heavily and replied in a low voice:

"What the adults instructed was that the few people inside who were not at ease had arranged other jobs, and our own brothers were looking at the hospitalized children, and that person was in the living room of the adult's inner courtyard!"

Patting Sun Dahai on the shoulder, Wang Tong strode in and walked into the house. But he saw a scribe in a dark blue robe sitting in the living room.

After entering the house, Sun Dahai said loudly:

"Mr. Yang, this is our Lord of a Thousand Households!"

The dark blue cotton scribe's long shirt, fair complexion, manicured hair and nails, gentle and polite manners, this is a scholar with a very good family background and has seen the world.

Wang Tong came up with his own judgment at first sight, but the scribe was also quite surprised when he saw Wang Tong at first glance, such surprise was common.

People with a little observation will be stunned and surprised when they see Wang Tong, Wang Tong is not very old, but the demeanor and temperament shown by his gestures seem to be over thirty years old, like the maturity that can only be shown at that age.

The scribe bowed respectfully, neither humbly nor arrogantly, and spoke:

"Student Yang Sichen has met thousands of adults."

"What is the fame of the sir?"

If Wang Tong dealt with Confucianism a lot, he would immediately be able to see the identity of the other party, but for such an abrupt question, Yang Sichen was not moved, and still replied with the attitude just now:

"If you go back to adults, students are lifters."

Yang Sichen was indeed very surprised by Wang Tong's age, sixteen-year-old Qianhu, this is nothing, the children of the noble family of Jingshi Xun, when he first came out of his mother's womb, there were people who were Qianhu, according to various rumors in Jingshi, this Wang Tong, who climbed to this position step by step with all his scheming to please the Son of Heaven, is a dangerous and cunning, high-flying scoundrel, but just when they met, Yang Sichen didn't feel anything negative.

Except for Wang Tong's still childish face, everything else seems to be very mature and calm, and it is not the kind of contrived, since entering this inner house, what he has seen and heard in Tianjin these days, this Wang Tong is not the kind of rumor, this Wang Tong is not simple.

Wang Tong asked a few questions at random, nothing more than who else was in the family, what relatives were in Beijing, etc., but he didn't mention Shen Shixing.

Yang Sichen thought to himself that this adult was really calm, and after Wang Tong finished asking the question, Yang Sichen was just about to speak, Wang Tong waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yang, wait a few days, when the official goes to the capital to inquire about the ins and outs of Mr., you and I will not be too late to talk, go back to the house in the city first, and the official will send a few people over to serve, before the news comes out from the official's side, please don't go out, please go back first!"

Wang Tong said very gently, and after he finished speaking, two brocade-clothed guards stood behind Yang Sichen, Yang Sichen was stunned, and said goodbye with a pleasant face.

Yang Sichen's evaluation of Wang Tong in his heart is much higher, not gullible, not impatient, this is a necessary condition for achieving great things, according to common sense and Wang Tong's age, I heard that someone in the cabinet sent a private letter, I should be very excited, but the other party was very calm.

When the people went out, Wang Tong went to the bookcase next to him and took out a pen and paper, recorded all the information Yang Sichen said on the paper, thought about it, and wrote down his observations. Fold it up and put it in the envelope, handed it to Sun Dahai and said:

"Dahai, arrange for a person to go to Jingshi, find Lu Tongju, let him carefully find out the details of this person, and then arrange ten people to stare at this Yang Sichen's house, spend more on food and clothing, and no one in their family can let it out, and then let Aunt Ma find our trusted mother-in-law to go in and serve, keep an eye on his family, and report anything as soon as possible!"

Sun Dahai agreed, and was just about to go out, when Wang Tong stopped behind and said:

"Don't treat him as a prisoner, treat him like a master, and wait for the results of the investigation by the Jingshi side to come back and deal with it."

Here is another promise, stepping out of the door, but was stopped by Wang Tong again, Sun Dahai wondered in his heart, but saw Wang Tong groaning and said:

"There are too many demon moths in Tianjin, if someone wants to fight Yang Sichen's idea, they would rather kill Yang Sichen's family than let outsiders see it, you know!?"

The will to ban the destruction of the world's academies has been made clear to the two Zhili and the provinces, since it is the intention of Zhang Ge Lao, the officials from all over the country must be strict and give an explanation to the imperial court.

There are some outrageous rumors in Beijing, saying that there are two academies in Jiangxi and Zhejiang that are set up by the protégés of Zhang Siwei, a cabinet scholar, and what to say when discussing the government, the first assistant Zhang Juzheng is working state affairs, taking charge of major politics, and worrying about affairs, there are inevitably inconsiderate places, Zhang Siwei is also a capable minister, why not let him share some.

Since Jiajingzhong, there have been many officials from Jiangxi and Zhejiang in the central part of the country, and these two academies have been clamoring, and there has gradually been a small trend of agitation in Beijing.

This political thing cannot be understood literally, "there are inevitably inconsiderate places" and "share some" The hidden meaning is very clear, Zhang Siwei is not satisfied with the current subordinate status.

Since the cabinet, the first assistant has the exclusive right to vote, and ordered someone in the cabinet to vote with the first assistant, which is actually a precursor to someone to take the position of the first assistant, Zhang Siwei is called the second assistant at this time, but the right to vote is still Zhang Juzheng's exclusive right.

The first assistant Zhang Juzheng may be magnanimous, but some things are the bottom line and must not be touched.

The ban on destroying the world's academy is the result of touching this bottom line, originally Zhang Siwei had already exercised the right of secondary auxiliary, just one name away, it had been determined that Zhang Juzheng had made a clear decree after returning to Beijing, but there was suddenly no news inside and outside the palace.

Zhang Siwei is okay on the surface, but in fact, he has been deflated, but the Jingshi are all smart people, and everyone understands that Zhang Siwei and others will not use the academy below to beat gongs and drums for themselves, the means are too rude.

I wanted to investigate but couldn't, the academy was banned, and the teachers and students were scattered, so I went there to investigate......
