At the end of October of the fifth year of Wanli, the second snow had fallen in the capital. Although it still turned into dark mud, there was still some thin snow left in the corners of the eaves and walls, which reflected the sunlight.

After Wang Xijue left the mansion of Yang Junmin, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, he immediately went straight to the home of Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Justice. After handing over a famous letter to the Zhanshi Mansion and the Bachelor of the School of the Zhanshi Mansion, he was introduced to the doorman to drink tea and wait.

Wang Xijue was born in the 13th year of Jiajing. He was forty-four years old at this time, with his name Yuanyu and his nickname Jingshi. He was from Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture. His family was a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his ancestors were descended from Ji Jin, the prince of King Ling of Zhou.

Over the past thousand years, many famous people of the Wang family have emerged. After Wang Yun, Situ of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are five of the three dukes, three of the queens, and thirteen of the prime ministers. When Emperor Xiaowen of Wei divided the clans of the Ding clan, the King of Taiyuan was established as one of the four clans. During the Tang Dynasty, it was one of the ten families of seven clans. Wang Xijue's family was not a giant gentry in the country, but a large clan that was the best in the world.

Although they were a large clan, the Taicang Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family did not have frequent exchanges. Although the Wang Xijue family was a wealthy family, the Taicang Wang family had not even had a juren for two lifetimes and had a very low political status. Therefore, Wang Xijue's father Wang Mengxiang placed all his hopes on Wang Xijue and his younger brother Wang Dingjue.

With Wang Xijue's first meeting in the 41st year of Jiajing, and then becoming the second place as a Hanlin editor, the liaison between the Wang clans of Taiyuan and Suzhou suddenly strengthened, and many other gentry and others of the Wang clan were also in contact with him. Wang Xijue made a leap forward in his career, and he was also greatly influenced by the Wang clan in Taiyuan.

Before he finished drinking a cup of tea in Wang Chonggu's concierge, Wang Chonggu came out to welcome Wang Xijue straight into the study. Wang Xijue saw Wang Chonggu's personal greeting and did not meet him in the hall, and was secretly happy.

Sure enough, Wang Chonggu's expression was very intimate, which made Wang Xijue feel like he was bathed in the spring breeze. The two of them took their seats. Wang Chonggu had a faint smile on his face and asked, "Jingshi, you are very clean and have never walked with each family. How can you visit Yang Shaoqing first and then I come?"

When Wang Xijue heard Wang Chonggu's words telling him that he had gone to Yang Junmin's house first, he felt a trembling heart, and then he secretly sighed at the current difficulty of being an official. He calmed down and said, "I dare not be called the "Jingshi" of the old master, Xijue is panicked. The old master can call him a Yuanyu."

When Wang Chonggu heard this, he waved his hand with a smile, looking straight at Wang Xijue with his eyes: "Yuan Yu must be given advice. You and I can't write the two words "Wang" in one stroke, so I can say it straightforwardly."

After hearing this, Wang Xijue breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wang Chonggu with a sincere expression: "Jianchuan Duke Zhang Chi, who has been in charge of the beacon tower for 50 years in our dynasty. The achievements of peace in the world are half of it. How dare the subordinates dare to swear to the word "teaching"? But they are worried about the current situation. Please give advice to Duke Jianchuan to relieve his foolishness."

Wang Chonggu promoted Altan's tribute, and indeed "the beacon tower for 50 years in the northern border" made great contributions to the peace of the northern part of the empire. However, it was too exaggerated that Wang Xijue said that he "has half of the achievements of the world's balance". Wang Chonggu did not expect that Wang Yuanyu, who was tall and steep on the cliff, had this face, and his portrait of the "Cuzhou" suddenly became full.

He twisted his beard and smiled, pretending to be helpful, and said with a smile: "Yuan Yu's words have gone wrong. You and me have been in contact with each other for a long time. You don't have to talk around, you might as well speak bluntly."

Wang Xijue then got to the point and said: "The emperor was assassinated by Zhang's father and was insulted in prison. Everyone in the world was in danger. The road was like a star that had not been seen for a thousand years - isn't Jianchuan Duke afraid?"

Seeing that Wang Chonggu's face was calm and he was silent, Wang Xijue spread his left palm and circled his right hand in his left hand and said, "Mr. Taihan is a close friend of Mr. Zhang, and his close friend of the same subject. Now he was humiliated by the prison officer - who can stay out of the matter?"

When Wang Chonggu heard him mention Wang Daokun, Gu Jing Wubo's face changed a little, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Yuan Yucai came up from Yang Junmin's mansion, what do Yang Shaoqing say?"

Wang Xijue smiled bitterly and said, "Yang Shaoqing agreed to it very well, saying that he had already sent a letter to Commander Yang - but if His Majesty doesn't say anything about this, what can Yang Junqing do? What dares Yang Junqing do?!"

After hearing this, Wang Chonggu felt a little admired Wang Xijue. He smiled and said, "What can Yang Junqing not do? What can I do as a Minister of Justice? Now these people have not yet entered the hands of the Ministry of Justice, so they are beyond the reach of the Ministry of Justice."

Wang Xijue nodded after hearing this and said, "What the old man said is, so the official feels that there is only one way to do this."

Wang Chonggu felt a thud and cried out in his heart: "Is this guy going to connect?" Sure enough, seeing Wang Xijue touching his hand into his sleeve, he guessed that he was going to take out the memorials jointly signed by the ministers.

Wang Chonggu's eyes rolled, and suddenly slapped his palms and said with a smile: "Shoot! Yuan Yu and I have thought of going together! Now the emperor is angry, even if he has a hundred books, it is useless - only to ask for it in the song!"

Wang Xijue was a little confused when he heard this. Seeing Wang Chonggu staring at him with a bright look, he couldn't help but stop the action of holding the memoir and asked, "What does the boss mean?"

Wang Chonggu smiled and said, "Now the empress dowager is not easy to talk. Only by damn, damn, damn, damn. Well, damn, damn, damn. After hearing that the emperor's wedding, I favored the central palace and treated other concubines as if nothing had happened. If I could speak Wu Ningbo, spread the minister's intentions in and let the queen give him tactful advice, it might have a miraculous effect."

After hearing Wang Chonggu's idea, Wang Xijue felt so upset that he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jianchuan, what's wrong with me?" Seeing that he even said the word "Mr. Wait" and his face changed, he hurriedly stopped him and bowed to the north and said:

"It has been six years since the emperor ascended the throne, and he has already been in charge of the rule. Judging from the great rebellion, although it is not uncommon, he is wise and the heart of heaven is not something we can guess—"

Wang Xijue was also a smart person. Seeing that Wang Chonggu interrupted him twice, he immediately understood that he didn't have to take out the memoirs in his sleeves, and the Shanxi Gang could no longer rely on him.

He lowered his head and sighed, "The lower officials are not the kind of rubber pillars and squids. If Jianchuan Gong and Wu Ningbo can speak well, they can also walk the path of the harem. The lower officials mean that the emperor is the sage of the emperor. As ministers, we should look up at the mystery. Even if we don't understand something, we should also report to ask the emperor to answer our questions and questions." The words also became tighter, unlike when we first entered the door, saying "the road is in sight."

When Wang Chonggu heard what he said, he sighed in his heart that he was still inseparable from this family. He only sees whether Zhang Siwei can get along with him in the future. He smiled cheerfully and said, "Although I returned to Beijing for a short time, Ziwei and him are not bad. This circle of advice makes him busy with it - how much effect it can play. The emperor is not the kind of person who is easily moved by words by people around him."

Seeing that Wang Xijue bowed his head and said that he was. Wang Chonggu couldn't hide his desire to make friends with him, and asked with a smile: "As far as I know, you have no friendship with Wang Daokun; this major case did not involve the Wang family, why did Yuan Yu run like this?"

In Wang Chonggu's mind, it may be for two reasons that Wang Xijue's running may be:

First, Wang Xijue judged that the arrest was about to end, and most arrested people would be released by the Jinyiwei. At this time, those who stand out will gain huge political influence; second, Wang Xijue judged that Zhang Juzheng had already made great contributions and shocked the master. Wang Xijue now wants Zhang Juzheng as a master to cut off, and sacrifice his three or five years of career to stand firm first!

However, not long after the Great Reform Edict came out, Wang Xijue was not afraid of sing the opposite tune and offending the emperor. If this bad impression is in the emperor's heart, what's the use of how much political influence he has? What's the use of standing in the right team?

While thinking, Wang Xijue looked up at himself with a shocked face and said, "We are ministers, but we only agree with the virtue of the king and to maintain peace in the country; the way of the ministers is to be impartial and ignore their own selfishness - what does it have to do with Wang Daokun and others?"
