The banquet in the palace, if the ministers gather, it is naturally full of warmth and luxury, but if there are only two or three people, the dishes are also very simple, and no one is rushing to satisfy their hunger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a side hall in Fengtianmen, it was as warm as spring, Emperor Wanli and Shen Shixing sat opposite each other, there were only four dishes on the table, and they didn't move much, Zhang Cheng stood obediently on the side.

"Shen Shixing, you were going to continue to recuperate after the first month, and the Federation sent someone to urge you to come out to sit on this second assistant, but I didn't expect your luck to be so good, Zhang Siwei actually wanted Ding Wei to return to his hometown, and the Federation didn't hide it from you, after the first month, your temporary generation is official, what do you want to do in the future?"

Emperor Wanli asked very casually, Shen Shixing felt a little different from his words, in the previous court meeting, Emperor Wanli's words revealed a sense of alienation, as if this world event had nothing to do with him at all, and even if he expressed his own opinions, he would often be rejected by Zhang Juzhengwei's ministers.

Now it is different, there is a confidence in the seemingly casual tone of the Wanli Emperor, a confidence in controlling everything, and now the queen mother in the palace is sick, and the key positions in the inner court are the private of the Wanli Emperor, and outside the palace, Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and then Zhang Siwei who followed was about to establish Zhang Juzheng's kind of strength, and then there were unforeseen circumstances, and when he returned to his hometown, he established the power of the disciple party suddenly became a pile of sand by the sea, and there was no foundation at all.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, all of a sudden, Emperor Wanli was in control of everything inside and outside the palace, Shen Shixing's mind turned, and he left the table and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, what to do in front, what the minister is going to do, and whoever the head uses, the minister is ready to use." ”

"It's just you and me here, you don't have to be so respectful, just sit down and talk back.

Emperor Wanli said kindly, but his expression was quite satisfied with Shen Shixing's respectfulness, he just held the power of the young man, his expression naturally showed traces, Shen Shixing has been up and down for many years, naturally understood what he did right and wrong, did not sit down, just stood there and bowed again.

Emperor Wanli didn't insist, but asked: "What was done in front of me was made by Zhang Siwei" was used by the court, but they were all Zhang Siwei's people, so you really followed it like this? ”

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether the people and friends used by Zhang Ge Lao are selfish or not, but they are all capable people who have been doing errands for many years, and they are all doing well, what Zhang Ge Lao has done is nothing more than what his predecessor did in Bingzheng, and at present, the treasury is full, which means that what he has done is not wrong, so he has this answer. ，”

Emperor Wanli nodded again, and several people in the room understood that Emperor Wanli would never allow Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei to appear again.

What Shen Shixing said was exactly what he liked, he was isolated by Zhang Juzheng's disciple party, and now there are only people promoted by Zhang Siwei in the DPRK, Shen Shixing does not have any personal power, and the cabinet assistant and other bachelors and the six ministries and nine secretaries are not close, but they control each other and "restrain and balance each other."

This kind of situation is what Emperor Wanli wants, and Emperor Wanli is already tired of the strong assistant "He needs an obedient person who is in charge of everything in the position of cabinet assistant, Shen Shixing is the most suitable in terms of personality and current situation.

…””

In the afternoon, when Shen Shixing left the palace boat from the Daming Gate, "the people waiting outside finally understood the situation, and they ran towards their respective homes, and everything should be settled at this time."

The second assistant of the Ming Cabinet, the sedan chair made is not a conventional system, the outside is covered with felt, and there is a charcoal stove inside for heating, and people feel quite warm and comfortable when sitting in the sedan chair.

However, it was warm and comfortable, but it didn't make people sweat, but at this time, Shen Shixing, who was in the sedan chair, was sweating like pulp, and then he was shaking constantly, whether it was hot or cold, only Shen Shixing himself knew.

He wrote a letter to Yang Sichen, and the letter vaguely revealed that if he had been suppressed like this, it would be better to return to his hometown to retire" Then Lu Wancai came to the door and told the allusions in the palace.

Thinking about it now, although Lu Wancai's words pointed out that the palace's power struggle for Zhang Siwei was just an attitude of watching the fire from the other side, "I can let myself stay for a while."

Watching the fire from the other side does not mean that he wants to put out the fire and put out the fire, Zhang Siwei did not give a clear statement at all in the official position of the auxiliary, if Zhang Siwei is in this position, he will inevitably suppress himself, but the almost explicit "and wait" in Lu Wancai's words, why is there such a certainty.

Whether Zhang Siwei will leave his job because of Ding Wei, Shen Shixing has not considered it, but the news he knows is that Zhang Siwei's father is in good spirits and in good health..."Why is it so sudden..."

Thinking of this, Shen Shixing shuddered, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, no matter what, no matter what the secrets, after all, it was his turn to sit in this position, Shen Shixing thought of this, and his trembling mood was finally relieved a lot, Daming Cabinet Auxiliary, when he arrived in this position, this is the apex of the scholar.

Shen Shixing's imperial examination was smooth sailing that year, and in the end he was the top student in high school, and his subsequent career was also very smooth.

With the rhythmic bumps of the sedan chair, Shen Shixing's mood gradually calmed down, and his auxiliary will definitely not have the same special decisions as Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei, and he can't even catch up with the auxiliary high arch of the Longqing Dynasty.

Emperor Wanli sat back and watched Zhang Siwei fight Zhang Juzheng's disciples, and ruthlessly drove Zhang Siwei home to guard filial piety, and it can be seen that he has disliked Qiangfu to a certain extent, and he is in this position, and I am afraid that he will be submissive in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Shixing smiled to himself, what about the promise, auxiliary is auxiliary, that is, the subordinate of the world, as long as you sit in this position, you can do a lot of things, why think so far"

After thinking it through, Shen Shixing was finally not so nervous, but he also noticed that the degree of the sedan chair had dropped, and he calculated the time, "It should also be time to go to his own mansion, the sedan chair is familiar, it has always been this degree, why is it slow today, Shen Shixing still feels that something is wrong, but there is a bit of noise around the sedan chair."

The place where Shen Shixing lives has always been deserted, not to mention that there is no gift drill camp door, this is close to the Spring Festival, and there will be no idlers wandering around outside the mansion of such officials, Shen Shixing opened the sedan curtain and looked out, and immediately was stunned over there, and had arrived outside the street where his mansion was located, but the street was full of people, cars and horses, and blocked water, and many people were wearing official robes, followed by servants with gifts.

The so-called door is like this, Shen Shixing looked at it in amazement, shook his head and smiled"

…”…”

"You show up tomorrow, and then order people to spread the slack, just say that the emergency of the tiger head is not a cold, if you don't invite a famous doctor in time, I'm afraid something big will happen."

In the mansion of Wei Wangtong in Tianjin, Zhang Shiqiang, who had been out on an errand for a few months, finally appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he was called by Wang Tong to the house to be a secret agent, and people couldn't help but sigh that he was really an adult's cronies.

Zhang Shiqiang could see obvious cracks on his face, obviously suffering a little on the way, hearing Wang Tong say this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do it."

"After spreading the news, you will go back to rest for a few days, this time it is really hard..." ,, Zhang Shiqiang bowed and nodded, with his relationship with Wang Tong, it was enough for Wang Tong to be able to talk to such a point, Zhang Shiqiang turned around and was about to leave, but he was stopped by Wang Tong and asked in a low voice: "

Can you see the corpse with your own eyes, can you be sure? ”

"Back to the adult's words, the subordinates went to Puzhou, found a house outside the city to live, according to the realization of the arrangement, Tonghai Commercial Bank went to Puzhou to open a branch, recruited a few subordinates to do a buddy, the shopkeeper led to the Zhang family's old house to send a gift, the best Liaodong old ginseng, Puzhou merchant rules, all go to the Zhang family's mansion to visit, because the ginseng is sent, to the old man, but also to see Zhang Siwei's old...", Zhang Shiqiang's voice was a little hoarse, but it was very clear, at this time in the middle of the night, unconsciously lowered his voice.

"The news of Zhang Siwei in Beijing has been passed back quickly, the people of the Zhang family began to worry about Zhong Zhong, and then they became more and more happy, on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the Zhang family held a banquet, guests from all walks of life gathered, the old man of the Zhang family also showed up and drank a few cups, even the prefect of Pingyang Mansion came, there were many guests, even if the Zhang family is a big family, but the manpower after the busy is not enough, Wu Er said, the precautions are finally slack, and at night the subordinates put on the clothes of the Zhang family servants and climbed in from the back wall, the Zhang family's mansion, Wu Er has already felt clearly, I went straight to the house. ,, Wang Tong sighed, this matter was his arrangement, but when he said this, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart" Zhang Shiqiang's expression did not change.

"I inquired in advance that Zhang Siwei's father slept well at night, and he could sleep well at night" We were lucky when we went over, and the three of us touched it together...",,"Cover his mouth and nose with soaked mulberry paper, did you wipe his nostrils and the corners of his eyes with a towel afterwards?" ”

Wang Tong asked solemnly, and Zhang Shiqiang replied quite affirmatively: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates have done everything I told to cross the boat."

Wang Tong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The old man died suddenly in the middle of the night, this is also common, as long as there is no mulberry confetti stuck to the corners of his mouth, nose and eyes, even if he has doubts, he doesn't dare to guess and say p,, after saying this, Wang Tong was silent for a while, and asked again:"

Wu Er is optimistic now, right? ”

"He is recuperating in the barracks outside the city, and without his subordinates going over in person, he will not be able to see anyone, let alone come out."
