Chapter 514 The Great Sima
The Minister of War Tan Lun was fifty years old this year, ten years younger than the Minister of Personnel Zhang Han. Compared with Zhang Han who recommended the third person from the court, Ge Shouli and Zhu Heng, who were the most popular, who were in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he deserved his reputation because of his contribution to the fight against the Japanese in the southeast, but in fact, he is not without a person with the same qualifications as him, such as Wang Chonggu. Although Wang Chonggu is still five years older, he will not mention it when he met at the court meeting in the past. Even Tan Lun himself thought that Wang Chonggu seemed younger.
The reason was that he had been in a warm, humid and windy place like Fujian for a long time, and then stayed in the cold Jiliao for many years. The different climates on both sides put a lot of burden on his body. At this moment, even in the warm room where the ground dragon was connected, he was still sitting next to the brazier, wearing a thick fur robe, and coughing from time to time.
When Wang Fulin saw this tired old man, he was almost unbelievable. He was a powerful figure after Hu Zongxian, and he was more knowledgeable about self-protection than Hu Zongxian. After the Japanese pirates gradually subsided, he was able to train troops as the governor of Baoding of Ji Liao. He was highly praised and successfully proved that he was not only suitable for the southeast, but also able to suppress the mainstay of the Mongolians in the north, and a truly omnipotent talent who could be literary and martial. However, at present, the energetic Tan Butang at that time has become an elderly man curled up next to the brazier. Only at this moment, the completely opened eyes emitted a sharp light.
"Meet the Grand Sima."
Seeing the young man who came in with Wang Daokun came forward and bowed, Tan Lun smiled and waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Bo Yu and I are old friends who have been with each other for many years. His junior is my junior. However, even his relative brother and cousin, he has never cared so much about it. But before, because you were criticized, he poured a lot of bitterness on me behind his back. So, since the storm has passed, I want to see how his nephew, who is so safe. After all, I, as the Minister of War, are always watching me. If I don't stay in the yamen one day, the three words "incompetent" will come up immediately."
This is what it means to say that since Tan Lun returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of War, he was impeached by several censors of weak and sickness. At that time, Gao Gong's disciple Luo Zun impeached Tan Lun incompetent and planned to elect Hai Rui to replace him. Later, Longqing died and Wanli ascended the throne. Tan Lun coughed continuously while accompanying Emperor Wanli to sacrifice, and two censors impeached him one after another. If it weren't for the help of Yang Bo, the Minister of Personnel, and later, Zhang Juzheng killed the chicken to warn the monkey, even if a person like Tan Lun had made great achievements in his military, he would not be able to hold the position of Minister of War. Even so, Tan Lun had written three letters to resign.
Therefore, Wang Daokun couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Zili, everything has passed. All three of them were downgraded from the third level and left Beijing. Now those Kedao are not so bold!"
"It's better to be careful, some people are thieves. Otherwise, how could your nephew be in the position of the Three-Second Pass, and it seems like he was spread by someone?" Tan Lun smiled. When Wang Fulin got up, he stood there three steps away, his eyes were natural and calm. He smiled, "Eighteen-year-old Jinshi is indeed rare. Even if it's just luck, it means that his energy is indeed unusual. Bo Yu, you and I can be considered young, but one is still twenty-four years old and the other is twenty-eight years old. He entered the official career ten years earlier than us, and it will be different."
When Wang Fulin heard Tan Lun's tone that was similar to gossip, he was quite relaxed. But when he was talking to Tan Lun and Wang Daokun, he did not interrupt. Sure enough, Wang Daokun was humble for him, and then sat down opposite Tan Lun, and then told him to pour tea with his eyes. He immediately did it. After all, he was familiar with tea ceremony with Mr. Fang and Mr. Ke. Ye Junyao also had a lot of private hiding. During the period of preparing for the provincial examination, he was in Songming Mountain and half of the time in Huining Road Office, and poured tea and water for his immediate boss and father-in-law. He was concentrating and did not notice that Tan Lun had been watching him.
It was not until he presented the divided tea to Tan Lun with both hands that he realized that the old Minister of War was looking at him. Although it was strange, he still gave the tea to Wang Daokun, and then he sat down on the side. Before he could have had time to take a sip of tea, he heard Tan Lun ask, "If you were to let Ji Liao out, would you like?"
Um?
Wang Fulin raised his head in surprise and saw Tan Lun's serious expression. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I don't know military tactics and don't understand military affairs. Ji and Liao are integrated with military politics. Even if the prefectures and county magistrates cannot interfere in military affairs, people who don't know anything go there to govern the people, I'm afraid it's not a solution. Of course, if you don't understand, you can learn. Now Mongolia has tribute and tribute, and the border looks much more peaceful, but it just looks. What's more, there are Jurchens between the white mountains and black waters. Mongolia and Jurchens have all established dynasties, and they cannot be regarded as Japanese pirates who are determined to benefit."
"Well, where is the county magistrate in the southeast?"
Seeing that Tan Lun did not comment, he asked Southeast. Wang Fulin did not answer directly this time, but said seriously: "To be fair, I think, like in the Tang Dynasty, the new Jinshi was often the county magistrates and other assistant officials, which actually made people know how to be an official. Nowadays, many county magistrates took over the senior officials as soon as they took office, but they were not familiar with government affairs at all. They suddenly took over a county. How could they do it? Therefore, the previous illegitimate government could not be eliminated, and they added omissions to their posts. To be honest, I dare not go to Southeast. For example, there are many wealthy families in Suzhou, and if they are touched, they will instigate students to cause trouble. The county magistrate and prefect have to be under his jurisdiction. If they are not familiar with certain things, they will be like a puppet after taking office."
"What official do you want to be?"
"I've been thinking about this from Grand Sima. I didn't expect to be a juren in the autumn exam last year, and I didn't expect to be a jinshi in the spring exam this year, so I was dizzy before and I kept thinking about what official I could be. But when the rumors arose before, I understood that I would not be able to convince the public when I was young, the most important thing is that although I have traveled many places and had experience in handling emergencies compared to others, I still have superficial understanding of being an official. After all, it was already very difficult to be busy with the imperial examination before. Instead of immediately trying to compete with others, I might as well take a good look at my uncle's side. My uncle's years of experience in writing letters is cheaper."
If Wang Daokun hadn't seen Wang Fulin's lazy appearance before, he would have been fooled by this kid, thinking that Wang Fulin was really thinking. So, he looked at Wang Fulin, but was lamenting the boy's sloppy head in his heart. He actually said that he had originally reluctant dispatch as a way to sharpen and gain experience, and was very sensible in front of Tan Lun. However, when he thought about it, Wang Fulin not only had urgent wisdom, but also had a few more steps to think about it. He went to the small house there today to bring people back. Didn't that kid have expected it long ago, waiting for him to speak? If that's the case...
Wang Fulin didn't know that Wang Daokun had so many thoughts at once. He just looked at Tan Lun very sincerely, thinking that this Minister of War shouldn't have robbed the Minister of Personnel's work, right? Finally, he lived up to his expectations. Under his calm gaze, Tan Lun finally laughed: "Okay, I, the old man, believe that you really plan to take the candidate for one or two years. When I was young, I thought it was good to be enterprising, but now I am old, but I think it's better to have a self-knowledge so that I won't be trashed. Before, your uncle asked me to give you a word for a watch, but I laughed at him for not looking for others but looking for me as a butcher. Are you not afraid of being unlucky?"
"I heard from my uncle that the Grand Sima had fought too hard on the battlefield, so that all the blood on the sword flowed to his wrists. The dark red color was washed many times before it was finally washed. Is this a matter?" Wang Fulin cleverly asked and praised Tan Lun. Seeing that he was dancing for a while, as if he thought of his young years of galloping on the battle formation, he continued, "If thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can be maintained, it is because countless people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for butchers on the border thousands of miles of borders. How can it be auspicious? If I ask me, if I can get the Grand Sima to take a word "mark", perhaps all evils will not invade and all evils will not enter."
"You, you are so good at speaking!" Even though Tan Lun didn't know how much flattery he had heard, he could hear so comfortably, but very little. He was so excited that he was so excited by Wang Fulin. He tapped the handrail with his fingers and said thoughtfully, "Fu is Xin. Lin is many trees and plants. It is said that you can use the character Bo and many beautiful characters to modify it. As far as I know, your previous character Bo Xin was raised like this. But after all, it was just a teacher at the She County Academy. Although the expectations are good, they will be mediocre after all."
Speaking of this, when Tan Lun saw Wang Daokun and Wang Fulin's uncle and nephew looking at him in surprise, he stroked his beard with smugness and said word by word: "Those who believe are the essential qualities of gentlemen; forests are formed into forests, and they reproduce continuously for generations. Therefore, it is better to have a name called Shiqing."
Wang Daokun immediately exclaimed, what does Shiqing mean? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many families and held real power, so that the Qing, who was not originally hereditary, was monopolized by each family. Therefore, there was a saying that Shiqing Shilu. If these two words were used as the representative words, it was indeed in line with Tan Lu's personality at some time, and it was domineering enough!
Seeing Tan Lun's elated look, Wang Fulin originally planned to accept it as long as he was still doing, let alone these two words were not bad! Therefore, he stood up without thinking and thanked him: "Thank you, Grand Sima!"
This time, Tan Lun personally reached out to help the person up, then looked at Wang Daokun with a smile and said, "I didn't choose the words "The words "of the children and grandchildren of my family were personally. I have never sent words "out for the words "out over the years, and no one has ever asked me for me. Boyu, you are the first one. If your family's descendant had not been married and I don't have a daughter of the right age, our two families could still have a family!"
Wang Fulin suddenly wanted to wipe his sweat. Nowadays, as long as the elders of the two families can reach an agreement, they often marry the younger generation without saying a word. Fortunately, he was lucky. He just got a good luck. But he just got a haha, but Tan Lun said: "Since your uncle said that you once killed the giant thief in Taihu Lake, you can come to my house by yourself and pick a good weapon to use! There are no other things, but I have many good swords and swords!"
ps: My family has been in trouble recently. Alas, I haven’t stopped this year. I’m also sad when I see my mother sad (to be continued. (.))
