Chapter 518: Poetry and Sword, Father-in-Law Enters Beijing
Although Zhang Juzheng asked a few questions casually about Tan Lun's jokes and then commented on them, the cabinet's direct room is not as good as the private house of Zhang's mansion. Naturally, no one in the Zhang's mansion dared to spread the words of the owners. Even though the people of the Zhongshusan received special confidentiality education, those who did not involve military and national affairs would inevitably have to pass on to their relatives and friends.↑, and, in addition, Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, also has a private place in the cabinet. Therefore, the meeting with jokes between Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun after this business was soon spread among all kinds of senior officials.
There is no doubt that this is Zhang Juzheng's attitude!
Therefore, when a bad guy Cai stayed in the house and found that the Jinyi Captain broke in, he was almost scared. To some extent, the scholars were the most deadly and the most sloppy, but it depends on what kind of opponent they face and what position they are in. The things that Master Cai had done in the first half of his life were turned out one by one, so that when he packed up the bedding and went out of the capital in a mess, he felt aggrieved. In his opinion, he was just saying a few angry words outside, which provoked the Jinyi Guard. Could it be that the two young men were not only Jinshi, but also some nobles in heaven?
The whole capital city's discussion about the new Jinshi and the current imperial examination and the appointment of officials was also calmed down. Whenever the Ministry of Personnel still had a vacant official position, the people would be assigned according to the ranking of the new Jinshi, including fair and unfair, but it was similar to previous years. After all, the family's family origin was originally the capital of scholars.
After seeing off Cheng Naixuan, who was appointed as the magistrate of Anyang County, Wang Fulin continued to lock himself in the study of the Wang Mansion to read the manuscript, and guide Wang Wujing and Qiu Feng to deal with people and deal with the old friends and relatives who were interacting with each other. At most, people lamented that the Wang Mansion is now the big one and the small one is the decision. However, there are no more messy rumors.
In this calm atmosphere, Wang Fulin received a somewhat surprising letter. The letter was sent from Huizhou Prefecture, from his father-in-law Huining, and Ye Junyao. The content on the letter made him feel a little troubled after reading it. It turned out that Ye Dapao had not completed the exam for another three years. Because of his stable political achievements, good official reputation, and quite good public expectations, he was named and transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and will serve as the Fujian Secretary for Administration.
Although Yuanwailang was only from the fifth rank, which seemed to be comparable to the sub-subject road, after the transition of the Sixth Ministry of Yuanwailang, he was at least the prefect of the Grand Prefecture, or the governor of the governor of the higher-level division of the governor of the government. Moreover, in addition to the many financial affairs of the Fujian governor of the Fujian governor, the Fujian Division also led the Guan Shuntian Prefecture, on the left, Wuxiang left, Wuxiang right, Xiaoqi right, Hu Ben right, Liukou Hou, Wuchengzhong, Maoling Eight Guards, Five Armies, Patrol, Warriors, Four Guards, and Yongping, Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, Daming Seven Prefectures, Yanqing, Baoan, Daning Dushi, Wanquan Dushi, and the Northern Zhili garrisons. In other words, it sounds like it is only concerned about Fujian. In fact, it also includes the entire Northern Zhili, including Daning and Wanquan plus many garrisons in Changping, Jizhen!
In the vast Fujian Department, there is only one doctor, one official, and four chief officials, two of which were added after Xuande. It can be said that the huge business is actually done more by clerks. Therefore, in Wang Fulin's view, it is really hard to be a Beijing official under the sword hanging high in the examination. Ye Dapao would rather be a complete three-year division of the road.
But this kind of thing was not his final say. So he could only ask Xiaobei to take someone to clean up the small house he had vacated, and prepare Ye Dapao to stay temporarily after entering Beijing. This time, Ye Junyao was a real single person, because Ye Xiaopang had returned to Ningbo and was about to take the examination. Mrs. Su was worried, so she took her youngest son Ye Mingtang to Ningbo first. Ye Mingyue was already married again, so Ye Junyao naturally had to be a commander of the bare body. While waiting for this father-in-law to go to Beijing, Xiaobei went to Shi Jianchun's wedding after attending the wedding of Shi's parents' daughter Shi Yuanchun. In addition, Miss Xu's pregnancy was even busier than Wang Fulin.
In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the capital had already fallen with a cold wave. I thought it had been almost a year since I entered Beijing. At first, I thought there was no hope that I would get the palace test overnight, and the ranking was also very good, but then there were many storms. Wang Fulin always felt that his reputation as a disaster star was becoming more and more veritable.
On that day, as usual, he sorted out various books on the shelves in Wang Daokun's study. Since he regarded this place as a place where he lived during the day, he had no longer used a book boy. Wang Daokun, the owner, simply regarded him as a book boy, and Wang Daokun himself did not have the long time he stayed here.
When he moved away a long sandalwood box with a copper lock and used a feather duster to remove the dust from his head, he didn't expect the lid to pop open suddenly. He was surprised and reached out to close the lid. Then he found that the copper lock had not been buckled, so he opened it as soon as he touched it. But as soon as he looked at the things inside, he couldn't help but slow down, but because he found that it was not a letter or a rare ancient book, but a long sword, which was slightly shorter than an ordinary sword, about two and a half feet to touch. However, the blade was bright, and there were several fine gaps at the blade. It was obviously used, and the owner wiped and maintained it from time to time.
What is this? A souvenir from Wang Daokun when he fought against the Japanese in Fujian?
Wang Fulin was puzzled, but he quickly closed the lid and pressed the copper lock again. Despite this, Wang Wujing, who was sharp-eyed, saw it. He immediately stood up and whispered: "It should be that after my father packed it up last night, he was happy to get the confidence of Ji Town, so he forgot to lock it. His father once mentioned that the sword in the box was when his father was in Fujian. When he was in Fujian, he found a famous craftsman to make two swords and asked his father to write poems. Later, because he had worked together for a long time, he saw the Japanese pirates rampant, and Fujian was devastated. Marshal Qi gave his father one of them and agreed to wear them together."
Although I had known that Qi Jiguang and Wang Daokun had a close relationship, and there were even poems and lyrics in the correspondence and such things as literati often did, I remember that when Qi Jiguang thought of hiding private money, she first chose She County and sent someone to meet Wang Daokun to entrust him. However, Wang Fulin still had a wonderful feeling when he heard this old story from Wang Wujing. However, Wang Wujing was only half of his words.
"My father also made an agreement with General Qi to quell the Japanese turmoil in Fujian and live up to this sword. Later, his father was impeached in the 45th year of Jiajing and was dismissed from office and returned home from the position of governor of Fujian. In the second year of Longqing, General Qi was ordered to enter the court. The two met in Hangzhou. The two swords were able to reunite. Later, General Qi guarded Jizhen. After his father recovered, he was the Minister of War, Dayue, and then he used his sword to join Jimen with General Qi. His father said that in the past two years, the people of Wuliangha often invaded the border, so General Qi could not leave. Even if he was right next time, he could not enter Beijing. He did not know when he met. "
Wang Fulin looked at the box that was obviously rubbed so often that the lid was smooth and patina was oily and smooth, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings. He smiled and patted Wang Wujing on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "What can you ask for when making friends like this? Everyone often says that the poetic sword is romantic. Since this dynasty, there are actually many such examples. If you can inherit your uncle's literary and martial arts in the future, remember to make a friend like Grandmaster Qi!"
No matter how much he said that, Wang Fulin felt a little sad. Even if the generals have made great contributions, they will definitely be overwhelmed. In the end, they will inevitably have a tiger into the throne. The overlord will be able to remove his armor and die safely. Even civil officials have military strategies, even fewer ones have good endings, and they will even be regarded as aliens by other civil officials because of their outstanding military achievements. They are frequently excluded, and even a generation of scholars like Wang Shouren is no exception. The root cause is not entirely because of party struggles, but because their military achievements are not as good as ordinary political achievements. From kings to court officials, they all remember eight words in their words. Their achievements are too high to shock the master, and their tails are too big!
Speaking of which, I have never seen Qi Jiguang yet! I have only seen the old soldiers of Qi Liang brought out, only some old Zhejiang Army leaders who had fought under his command, only Zhong Nanfeng, who regarded him as a military god and even wanted to go to Jiliao, and only saw those letters from Qi Jiguang to Wang Daokun. The calligraphy made him feel ashamed and his poems were quite impressive.
However, one day, when Wang Fulin took Xiaobei to the Zhangjiawan Canal Wharf in Tongzhou on time according to the time provided by the reporter, he found that in addition to his father-in-law Ye Junyao, there was another person he had never expected at all, and that was a confusing Qi Liang! This time it was nearly a year since the two sides had a good time, Qi Liang smiled and said, "I haven't seen the Grand Marshal for a long time. Since Ye observed that the capital had taken office, I thought of walking along the way, first meeting Mr. Wang, and then going to Ji Town to pay homage to the Grand Marshal. The brothers asked me to say hello and brought an early New Year gift."
Ye Junyao looked at his son-in-law who was already like him, and his satisfaction was beyond words. Hearing that Wang Fulin had even prepared his residence for him, he took the man and entered the mule cart without saying anything. As for Qi Liang, although he had long been used to the cold weather in the north, he had been in the south for a long time and sat in the car together. Although he was once Qi Jiguang's confidant, in She County for several years, Wang Fulin and Ye Junyao had asked him to do more than ten or eight secret matters, so Ye Junyao did not avoid him at all.
"It is said that the person who recommended me is not someone else, but Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian. You also know that it is because of the foundation I laid in She County that She County can basically collect all summer taxes and autumn grains in the past two years. Of course, the most important thing is your and Cheng Naixuan's yi shop. During the harvest season, the grain prices are often even, so the people don't have to worry about selling grain at a low price and paying taxes. Of course, there are still some arrears, but it is much better than before. In the past two years, Yi shops have paid back to the countryside, and have done a lot of good things like building roads, bridges and channeling, so Huizhou Prefecture is still quite peaceful. But the complaints that Shuai Jiamo came back to the government office before, and the incident was still very serious..."
Ye Junyao introduced some of the situations in Huizhou Prefecture for Wang Fulin who had been away from his hometown for almost a year, and then said hesitantly: "Fulin, although I have been familiar with local government affairs in recent years, I am really disgusted with the Ministry of Revenue. Go back and see Mr. Nanming... No, Mr. Wang, he has been in the Ministry of Revenue for a while before, and at least I can give me some suggestions."
Wang Daokun used to be the head of the Jiangxi Department of the Ministry of Revenue for only half a year... If you ask him how he fought, it's almost the same!
Wang Fulin muttered to himself, but a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law has prepared a good helper for you!"
