So Zhang Whale, the factory official, returned to the palace from the East Factory Office, preparing to meet the Son of Heaven to slander.

It was late spring, the weather was fine, and the Wanli Emperor took the imperial concubine Zheng to enjoy the West Garden.

When the excitement came, the emperor drank some wine with the concubine and summoned the worshippers to perform dances and songs.

Seeing that Zhang Whale came empty-handed, Emperor Wanli didn't bother to put down the wine cup and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Whale played: "Last night, someone repeatedly shot a Ming Di in Xicheng, and the officials were suspicious and discussed, and some officials were injured.

Some witnesses said that the leader was burly and was suspected to be the champion Lin Tailai."

Emperor Wanli asked directly: "Have you ever caught someone?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "This person has fled out of the city, so he asked to send a cavalry to Xuanfu, or call Lin Tailai back to ask for the right question." ”

The emperor sighed, didn't catch someone, you tell me about an egg? Sure enough, in terms of spy business ability, you can't expect too much from Zhang Whale.

Zheng Guifei next to her suddenly interjected and said: "That Lin Tailai is extremely hateful, and he has repeatedly bullied his concubine's father and brother outside the palace. ”

Emperor Wanli's face gradually turned cold, and he said to Zhang Whale: "Er Haosheng went to run the errand of the East Factory, so don't be nosy." ”

Zhang Changgong: "??? ”

Then Lin Tailai is shooting and screaming indiscriminately in the residential area of the officials in the capital, is it still called an idle matter?

Then Emperor Wanli didn't pay attention to Concubine Zheng's words, and ordered to worship and advocate Youdao: "Then play music, then dance!" ”

You must know that Emperor Wanli is not only guarding against the next Zhang Juzheng, but also against the next Feng Bao, and also against the next Empress Dowager Li.

The shadow of childhood can affect a person's life.

In the 30 years when the Wanli Emperor was rotten in history, even though there were no powerful ministers in the real sense, there was no strong eunuch.

From a certain point of view, if this is not the case, how can there be space and opportunities for the development and growth of the Donglin Party's forces?

And although Concubine Zheng Guifei favors the harem and is the nominal villain of the ministers' favorite concubines, she has no ability to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, and she can't even interfere in the appointment of senior eunuchs in the palace.

At this moment, Zhang Whale was only stunned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word more.

Is this a failure of your own slander? Is this the unpredictable?

No, this is not slander at all, I just stated a fact!

Then Lin Tailai returned to Beijing without permission, and he beat people to maim and shoot them indiscriminately! How can you learn from those ministers outside and pretend not to know?

What Zhang Whale didn't know was that about what kind of person Lin Tailai was, the eunuch of Xuanfu Town had already secretly played it to Emperor Wanli.

This secret is sparse: Qin Chalin was afraid that the rebels would loot on a large scale in Xingyuan, and tried his best to appease the rebels, so he temporarily transported out the governor Xu's private pocket silver, totaling about 20,000 yuan, and secretly stored it in the firearms depot of the eunuch's mansion with a solid defense

There are no secrets in officialdom, and Wang Situ of the household department can finally confirm that this time he still has to thank Brother-in-law Lin's great benefactor.

The unknown tall knight who shot in Xicheng last night should be Brother-in-law Lin's own figure.

Brother-in-law Lin will definitely not sneak back to Beijing for no reason, and the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War will not change their attitude for no reason.

I just don't know how Brother-in-law Lin's trick changed, and it was arranged clearly overnight.

I am afraid that the specific details are only clear to the parties who received the Ming Di.

In the afternoon, Wang Situ couldn't hold back his excitement, got off work early and went home, ready to close the door and have a few drinks to celebrate with his family.

The promotion of his son to governor is indeed a great joy, not just a promotion.

Governors and local officials are completely two natures, and becoming a governor means that he has directly entered the high-level sequence of the imperial court from the local sequence, and he can be called a feudal official.

More importantly, the inheritance of the next generation of the old Wang family has truly continued.

In the vicinity of his house, Wang Situ met Xu Shenxi, the general secretary of the general administration who lived in the mansion next door, who was the Xu Shenxi with the most explosive name and connected the two elders of Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue.

"Congratulations to Situ Gong! There are many heroes in your new city, and there is one more big county guard! Xu Tongzheng sincerely said hello to Wang Situ.

Wang Situ was proud in his heart, and was about to be humble, saying a few words like "good luck for children".

But he suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. What the hell is the Ogun-gun guard?

The eldest Wang Xiangqian is about to be promoted to governor, this is called the feudal official! Isn't it a demotion to say that the prefect is a demotion to the post?

Could it be that Xu Tongzheng has always been malicious towards the old Wang family, and today he finally couldn't help but expose it?

Thinking of this, Wang Situ was not angry, and asked lightly: "Please explain Xu Tongzheng, how to be promoted from the third-grade political participation to the fourth-grade prefect?" ”

Xu Tongzheng looked confused, and said suspiciously: "What is participating in politics from Sanpin?" I'm talking about the capital of the Jiujiang Tariff Envoy.

Today, the General Administration Department received a report that a traitor Liu Ruguo gathered thousands of people to rebel at the junction of Huguang, Nanzhili, and Jiangxi last month, and this month has been put down.

The capital of the Jiujiang tariff envoy and the king of the patrol river has captured more than 30 fleeing thieves, which can be regarded as a military merit, and he will definitely be promoted and rewarded! ”

Wang Situ: "."

What day is it? The smoke from the ancestral tomb can't have turned into a fire, right?

Wang Zhidu, this little brother, guards the tax customs on the river, can he still fish out a handful of military merits?

More than 30 rebels fled along the river, and then they were intercepted by Wang Zhidu? What is the difference between this military feat and pie in the sky?

Suddenly, Wang Situ remembered that Wang Zhidu went to Jiujiangguan, which was actually strongly requested by Brother-in-law Lin, and it seemed to be for the rice business between Huguang and Suzhou.

And at that time, I heard that it was located at the junction of the provinces, and there were many bandits, and there was an anti-thief named Meitang.

In order to appease the king's capital, he added another river patrol dispatch, and now he has made military merits.

Thinking of this, Wang Situ couldn't help but be suspicious, could it be that Brother-in-law Lin had already foreseen that there would be military merits in the future, so he arranged for Wang Zhidu to wait for the pie to be dropped?

I heard that Liu Ruguo, who rebelled this time, was the old department of the thief leader Meitang the year before last.

But in any case, I have to thank Brother-in-law Lin for arranging the capital of the king, this is really the great benefactor of the old Wang family!

It's time to start worrying about the next step of the little brother Wang's capital.

According to the rules of officialdom, it should be the prefect or the deputy envoy of the inspector, but which road is better is really a happy trouble.

Wang Situ returned home and sat down, and when his good nephew Wang Xiangmeng came back from work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he beckoned to drink together.

There are so many happy events today, and you won't be happy if you don't drink it.

However, Wang Xiangmeng had a little on his mind, and said to Wang Situ: "Now that my term of office as supervising the imperial history has expired, I have to consider being promoted outward, and I don't know where to go." ”

Wang Xiangmeng is a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, and the eleventh year of Wanli was taken as the supervision of the imperial history, according to the three-year term, to this year, the seventeenth year of Wanli is exactly two six-year years.

The quality of the imperial history in the officialdom is very high, and if you become the imperial historian and then transfer out, you will definitely be promoted, but it is just a matter of more promotion and less promotion.

Although this is also a good thing, it makes Wang Situ a little headache, why did things collide together?

The little brother Wang Zhi will be promoted, and the good nephew Wang Xiangmeng will also be promoted.

It's fine to run just one, but if you run two at the same time, you're going to get noticed.

In addition, the eldest son Wang Xiangqian was promoted to governor, and the three members of the Wang family were promoted together, so it was easy to be criticized.

After pondering for a while, Wang Situ tentatively said to Wang Xiangmeng: "Why don't you be the imperial historian again?" Nine years? ”

Wang Xiangmeng shouted through the wine: "Three years and three years, how many three years can there be in life?"

Now that I'm a ninth-level Great Perfection Imperial History, I don't need to stay up for another three years! It's time to break the realm! ”

Wang Situ was puzzled, what kind of messy tiger and wolf words are this?

Wang Xiangmeng burped and took the initiative to add: "It's all words that I learned from Lin Tailai." ”

Generally speaking, officials serve a three-year term, with six years and nine years.

For the imperial history, six years is the senior imperial history, and nine years is the real great consummation, and you can directly leapfrog and ascend.

Although Wang Xiangmeng has only been the imperial historian for six years, three years ago, with the assistance of Lin Tailai, he was beaten with a court cane, which is a huge bonus to the official.

Therefore, Wang Xiangmeng's face is only in the late sixth year, but with the addition of the court staff, it is actually equivalent to nine years of great consummation.

If the nine-year Great Perfection Imperial History is transferred, it is already difficult for the Jingguan to have a position, and he can only be released as a fourth grade, which is a perfect collision with the little brother Wang Zhidu.

Wang Situ's skull hurt again, and he subconsciously said, "After all, you are still young."

Wang Xiangmeng retorted: "I'm about to turn forty! ”

Wang Situ was surprised to calculate, Wang Xiangmeng is really so mature? I don't usually see it.

Thinking about it, Wang Xiangmeng has been a jinshi for nine years, Wang Situ couldn't help but sigh and said: "You also have to thank Lin Jiuyuan for letting you struggle for several years!" ”

Wang Xiangmeng, who was drunk, said: "Second uncle, why aren't you? If there was no Lin Jiuyuan, he would not have been able to sit in the position of the head of the household book.

There is also Uncle Zhiyou in Suzhou, if there is no Lin Tailai, how can he be promoted to Suzhou, and then he can survive his exploits in peace? ”

Wang Situ: "."

became the head of the household, Wang Xiangqian, who was about to be promoted to governor, Wang Zhiyou, who was promoted to Suzhou, Wang Zhimeng, who was promoted to the capital of military merits, and Wang Xiangmeng, who was about to be promoted to the nine-year consummation.

Thinking of this, Wang Situ suddenly felt a little numb, and he found a Hua point!

It seems as if Lin Jiuyuan is the great benefactor of all the incumbent officials of the Wang family! The whole Wang family should be grateful to Lin Jiuyuan!

So the question is, in the face of this kindness that is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, what will the Wang family take to repay Lin Jiuyuan?

At this moment, Wang Situ remembered again, three years ago, the little sister Wang Fifteen said a sentence - the Wang family will become a vassal of the Lin family in the future, don't regret it, anyway, I won't suffer if I marry into the Lin family!

At that time, Wang Situ only thought it was a joke, counting the late Wang Xiangkun, the boss of the elephant character generation last year, the Wang family was also an official with six jinshi.

How could such a prosperous Wang family become a vassal of a newcomer to officialdom in his twenties?

But looking back now, it seems like a prophetic prophecy.

As the contemporary head of the Wang family in Xincheng, Wang Situ's mood is very complicated.

Suddenly, I saw Wang Xiangmeng stand up, staggered out, and said, "Nephew, I'm going back to my room to rest!" ”

Wang Situ said: "Your matter has not been discussed yet, why do you have to leave?" ”

Wang Xiangmeng casually pointed in a direction, and he didn't know if it was the northwest, so he said drunkly: "Instead of pondering it yourself, I think it is better to send someone to Xuanfu to deliver a letter and ask Aunt Lin's opinion!" ”

Wang Situ was speechless for a long time, he seemed to see the general trend of the future, but he did not have the strength to reverse it.

When other people's kindness is so great that they can't afford to repay it, what other way can they break free from this bondage?

Lin Tailai, who is no longer in the capital, but has left countless urban legends, went straight to Juyong Pass after leaving the capital.

has been out of Juyong Pass, and then he completely relieved his heart, and finally dared to make a public appearance.

Because outside Juyong Pass is Xuanfu Town, as long as his feet are on Xuanfu Town, there is no violation.

After finding the nearest post station, Lin Tailai revealed his identity and ordered the hundred household officials who managed the post station not to reveal his whereabouts.

Then he took more than a dozen followers and rested for a day and a night behind closed doors.

After all, if you drive the capital from the head of Xuanfu City, and then return to Xuanfu in a hurry after tossing all night, even if you are an iron beater, you will be extremely tired.

After the state eased up, Lin Tailai was not in a hurry, there were still more than two hundred miles away from Xuanfu Town, and he walked slowly and slowly, wherever he went.

After arriving in Xuanfu Town, Lin Qincha did not rush into the city, but only stayed in the outer city of Nanguan outside the South City Gate, and then sent people to the city to summon Wang to participate in politics.

Hearing that Aunt Lin had returned, Wang Shenzheng immediately put down his official duties and came to Nanguan to meet.

"Fortunately, if you don't lose your life, you should be able to do it, unless Shousuke betrays me." Lin Tailai said lightly.

The king was overjoyed to participate in politics, but he still asked suspiciously: "Why don't you go into the city?" ”

Lin Tailai still said lightly: "There are so many castles in Xuanfu Town, I can't just stay in the town to inspect, right?"

I'm thinking about whether or not to go to another castle for a round.

Ah, I suddenly want to ask, that crazy critic. Is the third lady still in Xuanfu City? ”

Wang Shenzheng witnessed the whole process of Aunt Lin's mouth being flirted with first, and then he couldn't afford to play, and replied at this time: "I have two news, one good news and one bad news, which aunt will listen to first?" ”

"Good first, then bad!" Lin Tailai is not entangled.

Wang Shenzheng said: "The good news is that the third lady has left the Xuanfu and returned to the side wall. ”

Lin Tailai immediately rode towards the city gate, "Then what other bad news can there be?" Town! By the way, are there prostitutes in the city? ”

Wang Shenzheng chased after him and said: "The bad news is that Bai Hutai, a leader of the Karashen Department of the right wing of the Northern Captives opposite Xuanfu Town, attacked the governor and the governor of Tongzhi.

And the Beiyu side asked you to go outside the border wall of Zhangjiakou Fort to preside over the ceremony of canonizing Bai Hutai as the governor and the governor. ”

The Karashen tribe is one of the most influential tribes in the right wing of the Northern Captives, and the old lords of the tribe are the younger brothers of the old Shunyi king.

When the Northern Captives first accepted the canonization, I was named the king of Shunyi, and under the king of Shunyi, he was crowned with two governors, one of whom was the veteran of the Karashen department.

Therefore, the imperial court has always attached great importance to the canonization of the relevant leaders of the Karashen Ministry.

Lin Tailai just felt inexplicable, "Does this kind of canonization ceremony have anything to do with me?" Isn't that your governor's job or your governor's job? “

Wang Shenzheng held back a smile and said: "This is the request that the third lady personally made to the imperial court before leaving the Xuanfu. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

What is this for? Do you still want to rob the people's men?
