Chapter 36 Entering Beijing
Fang Wenjin really anticipated Chongzhen's psychology, and if the operation was done properly, it was also possible for Fang Wenjin to become the first assistant.
Chongzhen this person is suspicious, he is not at ease with the cabinet ministers, he reigned for 16 years, the first assistant is basically changed every year, which is due to the fact that the Donglin Party is very difficult to fall, and there are also the ministers of the DPRK and China who do not have strong qualifications and cannot compete with the Donglin Party.
Of course, it does not mean that the ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty are all wine bags and rice bags. Even the director of a village committee in later generations was a human spirit. Who is not a person of great wisdom who can be a great official?
It's just that in the face of Chongzhen, who is impatient and suspicious, they have no room to play at all. There are many people who think like Fang Wenjin, but they don't have Wang Dalun as a cheat, so they don't have any excellent qualifications, so the first assistant is like a marquee.
More than ten years later, He Tengjiao, the governor of Hubei, promoted sweet potato planting, but at that time, the rebel army had become a prairie fire, and the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed and had no power to return to the sky.
And Fang Wenjin's current timing is just right, Chongzhen has just come to power, and he is planning to kill Wei Zhongxian, and then start his grand cause. At this time, Chongzhen had not been defeated by difficulties, he was not numb, and his appearance had not yet formed a habit. Fang Wenjin still has a chance to show his ambitions.
"Father-in-law, I wish you a prosperous journey!" Wang Dalun said excitedly.
"Hehe, this is just a plan, who can guarantee that it will be realized, so let's keep a low profile!" Fang Wenjin reminded.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't miss your matter!" Wang Dalun hurriedly packed the ticket.
"Daron, how much money can you come up with now?" Fang Wenjin asked suddenly.
"I don't have much recently, only one or two thousand silver, have you been short of money lately, how much do you want? You name it! Not enough for me to figure it out. Wang Dalun is really wealthy, and he said very nouveau riche.
"It doesn't take so much, 10,000 taels will do. Let's talk about it first, I won't pay you back all of a sudden! Fang Wenjin was also taken aback by Wang Dalun's nouveau riche behavior.
"Father-in-law, you are out of sight, I still want you to pay back 10,000 taels of silver? This is when I honor your old man! Your old man should also enjoy it, buy a few more concubines to serve you! ”
When Wang Dalun heard that he wanted 10,000 taels, he immediately said very much. He secretly said in his heart: "I thought it would be as much, only 10,000 taels!" I'm a local tyrant, I'm rich, I'm almost poor, I only have money left! ”
"Nonsense! Am I that? Fang Wenjin glared and said: "I don't want to enjoy this money, I'm going to go to the capital to give gifts!" ”
"Gift-giving?" Wang Dalun was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that you were watching from the wall? ”
"As soon as you say it, I also think I should walk around the capital, after all, the new emperor ascended the throne, and many people have changed, so I have to find two people who can speak in front of the emperor." Fang Wenjin explained.
"Looking for a relationship in the capital? Father-in-law, is 10,000 taels enough? I can come up with 20,000 taels! Wang Dalun is a little worried that this money is not enough, and the bigwigs in Beijing are not full of money, and they are afraid that people will not look down on them if they give less.
"It should be enough, I'm counting it all over the time, I haven't been in the capital for a long time, I don't know if the price of those Chinese people in Lu Dao has risen?" Fang Wenjin said uncertainly.
"Middleman? You say most of this money is for Chinese people? Wang Dalun asked in surprise.
"Of course, my dynasty stipulates that if you take a bribe of twenty taels, you will be stripped of the skin and filled with grass, although the law and discipline are now relaxed, but these things still need to be paid attention to, plus the new emperor ascends the throne, who dares to blatantly accept bribes? It's all handled through the Chinese people. Fang Wenjin explained.
"Oh, then whose relationship are you going to leave this time?" Wang Dalun asked curiously.
"There are a few people who have known each other before, but I don't know if they will be implicated this time, it would be good if they could go through the relationship with the old man in the king's mansion."
Fang Wenjin said regretfully, the iron law of the Ming Dynasty, officials and ministers are not allowed to hand over to the vassal king. So there is no contact at all in ordinary times, who knows that King Lu Daoxin, a vassal king, can become an emperor one day.
The Mansion of King Xin? Wang Dalun recalled hard, it seems that Wang Chengen has always been favored in history, and the others don't seem to have any impression. Wang Chengen is the one who accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself, and taking Wang Chengen's line is also taking Chongzhen's line.
"Father-in-law, I suggest you consider giving Wang Chengen a gift." Wang Dalun asked.
"Wang Chengen? He's a eunuch! Fang Wenjin said in a deep voice, after all, he was a scholar, and he still looked down on eunuchs in his heart.
"Father-in-law, I heard that Wang Chengen is usually very low-key, and he doesn't like to take power, this person will not attract resentment like Wei Zhongxian, and your relationship with him will not damage your reputation." Wang Dalun hurriedly persuaded him.
"But after all, I'm a scholar, and I've had a close relationship with him, and it's not good for me to be judged." Fang Wenjin was a little moved, but considering his reputation, he still refused.
"Father-in-law, what do you think of this? It's up to me to come forward, and I'll give Wang Chengen a gift, so that everyone won't criticize you too much. Wang Dalun immediately gave a compromise solution.
"Okay, you go and try it, I don't know if Wang Chengen will accept it." Fang Wenjin was very relieved when he heard Wang Dalun take the initiative to ask. In his heart, he still hopes to have a relationship with Wang Chengen.
"Dong Weng, don't worry, there is no problem for my uncle to go out. Moreover, eunuchs love money! Qian Shijin is very confident in Wang Dalun, even a person like him Qian Shijin who never accepts gifts can break through, and against a eunuch, Qian Shijin thinks it is a piece of cake.
"Oh, you have so much faith in him? Could it be that you, who don't usually receive gifts, have also received gifts from him? Fang Wenjin asked curiously.
"Oh, secret, secret! Anyway, you can relax! Qian Shijin said embarrassedly.
"Well, I won't ask any more. It's okay for Dalun to go, you have a group practice, take a few more people on the road, it's safer! Fang Wenjin nodded.
After hearing that Wang Dalun was going to the capital, Fang Wen'er pondered for a moment and said, "Let's have a meal together that night, and we will eat for you!" ”
Wang Dalun didn't take it seriously, but who knew that after eating, Fang Wen'er immediately revealed her true form, and she said: "Sisters, Xianggong is going to the capital tomorrow, no one is allowed to leave today, he must be squeezed dry, otherwise he will bring people back again!" ”
"Please, do I dare to steal it? Am I that? Wang Dalun asked very sadly.
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison, among them, the sword was the loudest, and it seemed that she was angry about someone's stealing behavior.
"Believe me, I won't go to the Qinglou this time!" Wang Dalun hurriedly assured.
"I don't believe you! Sisters, go on, squeeze him dry! Fang Wen'er commanded very domineeringly.
"Help! I don't want to be Ximenqing! Wang Dalun wailed, but it was all in vain, he was soon pushed to the bed by the women and stripped naked.
The next day, Wang Dalun was helped into the carriage, he had two panda eyes, his neck was full of lip marks, and there were more on his body, and not only lip prints, but also tooth marks!
Wang Dalun is now full of bitter tears, am I easy, not only was I treated as a cow that was about to die of exhaustion, but also when it was over, I was bitten all over my body. A lady who turned into a little also said eloquently: "I bit it on behalf of the child in the womb and reminded his father not to bring the woman back!" ”
Wang Erzhu was still struggling with whether to marry Chunhua and Qiuyue home, but after seeing Wang Dalun's tragic situation, he immediately dispelled the idea of the blessing of Qi people, and said to himself in his heart: "Women are tigers, you can't have more, just marry one!" ”
Wang Dalun didn't know what Wang Erzhu thought in his heart, if he knew Lu Dao, he would definitely take Wang Erzhu's hand and say to Wang Erzhu: "I feel the same way, I feel the same way!" It's not okay to have too many women. ”
But now, Wang Dalun, who was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, and slept all day. It wasn't until three days later that he came to his senses.
"Hmph, Fang Wen'er, wait until you give birth, see how I clean you up!" Wang Dashao said indignantly.
The ancient road was really a pitfall, Wang Dalun shook and shook in the carriage, and it took almost half a month to finally shake it to the capital.
"Young master, young master, we have arrived! Look, the capital is so big! This road is really wide, much wider than the road in front of the county in our county! Young master, look, this city wall is really high, much higher than the city wall in our county!"
Wang Erzhu and others had never been to the capital, and when they saw such a magnificent building, they couldn't help but marvel again and again! In their eyes, Xingxian County was already very big, and when they saw the capital, they felt that the things in front of them were beyond their imagination!
"Please, don't look around, calm, calm! You know? I'm going to lose my face to you! Pay attention to the image, the image! If you look at your appearance, people will know at a glance that you have never seen the world! ”
Wang Dalun was very dissatisfied with the performance of his entourage, he really hadn't seen the world, he was so wide and so tall, so amazing, so if he saw the roads and skyscrapers of later generations, they couldn't help but drop their jaws in amazement?
The entourage listened to Wang Dalun's words, in order not to be treated as a dirt bun, they all closed their mouths, raised their heads and chests, and did not squint.
When Wang Dalun saw it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, go into the city, everyone is tired of walking, and when you settle down, I'll take you down to the restaurant!" The wine tube is enough, and the meat tube is full! ”
"Young Master is wise!" The entourage all cheered, the food on the road was really poor, and the mouth was about to fade out.
Thinking about the dinner at night, everyone unconsciously drooled, and everyone felt that for a moment, their legs were no longer sore, and their backs were no longer painful! Walking is more energetic, and it is more effective than eating calcium.
"Image, image!" Wang Dalun hurriedly reminded.
To appease the entourage who had never seen the world, Wang Dalun and his party came to the city gate, because there were soldiers guarding the city gate to check the goods entering and leaving the city and collect the entrance fee, and the speed in front slowed down unconsciously.
