Chapter 798 Lu Ge Lao's Self-Defense Counterattack

They are all old acquaintances. Although it is the first time to meet in this private house, Lu Diaoyang was as straightforward as he used to meet people in the cabinet. As soon as he entered the study, he nodded as a gift and asked Zhang Han about his purpose.

However, Zhang Han was not as straightforward as Lu Diaoyang. After this second-level assistant took his seat, he smiled bitterly: "Today we meet, we will surely be introduced to Yuan Fu and Feng Shuanglin through the spies from the Jinyiwei and the East Factory. I know that I have made suggestions to Yuan Fu once before. Now that the old words are mentioned, it will not only make him feel that I am incomparable to a younger generation, but also doubt my intentions, but I really have to say that Wang Fulin was attacked and slandered again and again. Although he said that many censors did have the intention to invite fame and promotion, but he himself would always cause trouble? Such a person would not be peaceful if he stayed in the Censorate!"

This was simply to Lu Diaoyang's heart. However, he knew that he could never simply agree with Zhang Han at this time, so he had to cough lightly and said, "Although Wang Fulin was young, there were indeed disputes everywhere he passed, but his mistakes did not hide his merits. Moreover, when he was the chief censor of Guangdong Dao in the Censorate, he was diligent and down-to-earth, even the Censor of the Left Capital Chen Yuquan praised it quite well. Brother Ziwen, your criticism was a bit too much."

Since he realized that it was You Qi who played himself and Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, and then You Qi was evaporated by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, Zhang Han knew that he, the Minister of Personnel, was probably going to be counted down. Because of this, he did not have much concern, and would not retreat because of Lu Diaoyang's seemingly mixed attitude.

"It is a meritorious, but I think he is a meritorious. Isn't a person who is always at the forefront of the storm to attract attention? Moreover, don't Ji Fu feel that Yuan Fu is too indulging in this person? You know, there have been turmoil caused by this person twice. Will there be a third time next? To be honest, even if he takes over the Li again this time, he will take him away from the Censorate. Whether it is placed in a foreign position as a military prefect, or even the Dali Temple Chief, it is better than him in a lieutenant position."

The first two arrangements were mentioned by Zhang Han to Zhang Juzheng before, but Dali Cheng was used to place the most outstanding position among the inspectors. Zhang Han even mentioned this, undoubtedly expressing his determination to move Wang Fulin out of the Censorate at any cost. Hearing this meaning, Lu Tiaoyang couldn't help but feel shocked, but seeing that Zhang Han had no intention of joking, it was obviously taken seriously. He just felt that his heart gradually sinking.

"Brother Ziwen, you should know that you are just doing your own thing."

"I only know that as the Minister of Personnel, although I should not interfere with the candidates such as the Emperor's decision, I have to do it. Since Wang Fulin thinks he is a leader, he will give way!"

When Lu Diaoyang sent Zhang Han away, he felt that one was the first and two were big. The three disciples of Wang Fulin, Fan Shimei, Huang Shiyu were all involved this time, which made him very difficult. Zhang Han came to see him at night and made him clear his attitude, which made him vaguely feel that if he just kept mixing with Zhang Han, he would not be able to wash away the stigma of conspiring with Zhang Han to deal with Wang Fulin, the censor. He was not so despicable that he had to deal with his disciples behind his back! But to a certain extent, he did agree with Zhang Hanning who could put Wang Fulin in a higher position to pay for his contributions and to move people out of the Censorate, but could he talk to Zhang Juzheng like this?

The previous series of things have become very obvious. That is Zhang Juzheng’s confidant!

"Everyone wants to set me on the fire and roast me..."

Lu Diaoyang rubbed his temples, but he had already concluded in his heart that he had just presided over the cabinet, but suddenly encountered these difficult things one by one. It was definitely not accidental. He was blocking others' path! However, Zhang Juzheng did not care that Zhang Siwei was once a person who Gao Gong trusted and valued, so how could he mention it? After all, the role of the second auxiliary, the first auxiliary and the first auxiliary were replaced in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. Yan Song, Xu Jie and even Zhang Juzheng themselves were in power.

So, compared to Zhang Siwei, he is much more threatening! Zhang Han did this today, and even if he explained that he had nothing to do with him tomorrow, he would not be able to explain it clearly!

Although he seemed to be just a good man who was mixed with him, or just a helper of Sasuke Zhang Juzheng's innovation, he was all plotted to the end, so Lu Diaoyang certainly would not sit and wait for death. That night, the lights of the Lu family were on and never turned off for a long time. And early the next morning, when Lu Diaoyang got into the sedan chair and went to the cabinet, a confidant entourage quietly went to the Censorate to submit a letter to the Zuodu Censor Chen Zan. As for himself, after entering the palace, he did not go to the cabinet, but went directly to the Sixth Corridor. This time he stood in front of the door, and even those servants who were above the top of the court on weekdays, they did not dare to act rashly, and they all came to salute and greet him.

The more clever one was to ask Lu Tiyang who was here to look for. Someone even smiled and said, "Who is the second assistant who wants to meet, just ask someone to summon him to the straight room. Who can be so generous to let you wait here?"

"Of course it's for my uneasy students."

Lu Diaoyang only presided over the only exam, and he had never been close to those disciples, which everyone knew. At this moment, the assistant minister actually said such words at the door of the Sixth Cases. The staff members naturally looked at each other. Many people realized that the muddy water was extraordinary, so they slipped away quietly, but some of the brave ones not only did not leave, but came over. Among them, there were Cheng Naixuan, who had just been promoted to the staff. As one of the three lucky people who have now become the staff members, he actually said with a saliva: "The teacher is not me, right?"

There were more than 300 Jinshi in one subject. Besides, Lu Diaoyang didn't even accept the etiquette of his disciples to meet the teacher before. Of course, there were hundreds of people who could not recognize them. However, Lu Ge Lao did not misunderstand the people of Kedao. Knowing that Cheng Naixuan was Wang Fulin's best friend, he glanced at him side, but did not speak, and even left Cheng Naixuan there. Soon, Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu rushed over and found Cheng Naixuan standing beside Lu Diaoyang, looking like he was watching a show. Their expressions changed, and they immediately stepped forward one after another, but they didn't call the teacher casually like Cheng Naixuan, but they both called him Lu Ge Lao.

"Now this is at the entrance of the Liuke Gate. I will only ask you two in one sentence. Is it yours that impeachment of Wang Fulin all comes from you?"

Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu didn't expect that Lu Diaoyang would ask this in public. For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. Although they should have a natural close relationship in the same year, since they entered the Science and Technology Department at the same time, they inevitably regarded each other as competitors. This time they wrote the letter without any discussion, but immediately afterwards, they realized that such a move was problematic, because it would undoubtedly make Lu Diaoyang think they had some tacit understanding. So Fan Shimei immediately said first: "Teacher, since students are now serving in the work, of course they should supervise all officials, and of course this is from their own wishes."

Huang Shiyu only regretted that he was one step behind, so he quickly said from the side: "Teacher, as a subject, he should be an example for all officials. Wang Fulin and I have no selfish grudges, but we really can't tolerate his despicable behavior."

While he said, he glanced at Cheng Naixuan like a demonstration, but unexpectedly, Cheng Naixuan not only did not respond at all, but even raised his hand to clean his ears slowly, without regard for Lu Tiyang's possible turning back, and he might see this absolutely unrespectful attitude. He was about to drink, but Cheng Naixuan put down his hand and said, "Teacher, there are only three of us in these six subject corridors, so please give me a direct instruction."

Lu Diaoyang was also very helpless about Cheng Naixuan's snake-beating and sticking, but this disciple was not only the son-in-law of Xu Guo, a famous scholar in the Hanlin Academy, but also made quite good political achievements in Anyang County where the royal family was all over the ground. He even had to admit that compared to Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu, Cheng Naixuan's performance as a county magistrate was more satisfying. He was like Wang Fulin, and neither was a good-looking lamp!

Thoughts on this, Lu Tiaoyang stared at Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu with his eyes, and found that one of them avoided his gaze in a little dodge. The other one seemed to be not dodging, but his face was quite nervous. He sneered and said, "Very good. Since it is your own opinion, it will be much easier for me to deal with it. You all should do it!"

Seeing Lu Tiyang dropping these stupid words, he turned around and left. Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu couldn't help looking at each other.

When they first met, they wanted to maintain their censorship character and called him Lu Ge Lao, but once Lu Diaoyang performed beyond their expectations, they soon became teachers who kept saying goodbye. When they came to their senses, Lu Diaoyang left, and even Cheng Naixuan didn't know when he would flash.

Realizing that this situation seemed a bit unexpected, even though they were looking at each other as opponents on weekdays, Fan Shimei still asked with a subtle expression: "Brother Huang, what do you mean by teacher?"

Huang Shiyu was also in a heavy heart, and sweat was covered in coldness behind her back. She pinched her fists before lowering her voice and said, "The teacher seems to be unhappy for us to write a letter to impeach Wang Fulin... but this time it is different from the previous two times. This time we clearly grasped his painful foot."

"It's you who caught the pain, not me. I just impeached him incompetent. Wang Jiguang, the Censor of the Examination, has been in the imperial examination. He has been serving as the Chief Censor for two months, but he has not fulfilled his supervisor's duties at all." Fan Shimei resolutely planned to clean himself. Seeing that Huang Shiyu's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver, he laughed, "And don't you know? Yesterday, Wang Jiguang heard you say that he was instructed by Wang Fulin. He was like a madman and searched for the Censorate in the same year. Maybe Wang Fulin didn't react any more today, and the teacher didn't have time to say anything, Wang Jiguang bit him like a mad dog."

"You..." Huang Shiyu didn't expect that Fan Shimei had just asked about Lu Diaoyang's feelings, but she turned her back on her face in a flash. She was so angry that she trembled with anger, "Don't think you've just taken it clean. You know, Wang Fulin was the chief censor of the Censorate these days, and it is said that even Chen Zongxian has a high opinion of him, but you said he was incompetent... Humph, I think you are jealous of his reputation, right?"

"You are a rat who can only swear by blood!"

The two scholars were actually talking in the palace city, at the entrance of the Six-College Gate. This may not be new decades ago, but it was extremely rare in the past ten years. When they found that the eunuchs were shocked to look at their heads, Fan Shimei and Huang Shiyu realized that they were too impulsive, and snorted coldly to each other and hurried back to their respective straight rooms. They left, but the scene that happened at the gate immediately spread to all the officials.

Although there are many different opinions about Lu Diaoyang going directly to Liukeling to question the two disciples, some people in private think that Lu Diaoyang pretended to be a pretentious move. But when Yan Song was in power, Lu Diaoyang could still be promoted steadily. Even Zhang Siwei took back his tentacles and secretly reminded his uncle Wang Chonggu to slowly plan and not to offend this subordinate.

Wang Fulin even heard the most funny statement in his mind, in Lu Diaoyang's mind, he was the best student, so at this moment, Lu Diaoyang planned to sacrifice the other two and also protect him. When he heard the capital Hu Quan reposting this statement in a vivid way, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Who said this?"

Since Hu Quan heard what Wang Fulin and Chen Zan said that day, he was even more in awe of the young censor. At this time, he hurriedly smiled and said, "The Censorate said so."

"It's you rap-off officials who say that?" Wang Fulin couldn't help but joke. When he saw Hu Quan, he said leisurely, "Who likes to say it, let anyone tell me? However, Wang Jiguang didn't come to the Censorate today. I don't remember that he asked me, the censor, for leave. Do you have any records?"

Hu Quan came for this matter, and the words in the previous chapter were just a prelude. He quickly bowed again and carefully reported: "Wang Shiyu asked his colleagues to go directly to send a fake note to Lord Zongxian. Lord Zongxian asked the young man to deliver it to Master Zhangdao."

"College? It shouldn't be a colleague from Guangdong, right? When everyone came early in the morning, no one mentioned it to me." Wang Fulin smiled and saw that Hu Quan had indeed said a name that he had only an impression of, and was indeed the censor of other roads. He couldn't help but shake his head, "He didn't ask for a request in the same year as his fellow disciple, but he went to ask outsiders, and he didn't even dare to give me a note. What kind of temperament is he! Forget it, but it's only one day. He wants to ask for leave, as long as it's not ten or eight days, I'm too lazy to let someone say I'm harsh."

"The Master of the Palm Master has always been the most kind and compassionate person." Hu Quan naturally gave the flattery immediately. It can be seen that Wang Fulin was not interested in this. His eyes rolled around and he presented another fresh news, "The Master of the Palm Master, when he passed by Jiangxi Road before, he was the censor who had some relationship with Wang Shiyu. They were planning to write a letter to impeach the minister Huang Shiyu, using the reason why the Master of the Palm Master refuted Qian Ruyi and others. He heard that people were talking about right and wrong. This verbal battle is probably going to be fought!"

Wang Fulin heard the heart move, and then glared at Hu Quan with some annoyance: "Remember to talk about important things first and finally gossip!"

Hu Quanwei repeatedly claimed yes, but another news broke out: "By the way, the second assistant to the cabinet, Mr. Lu, sent a letter to Lord Zongxian early yesterday morning."

Wang Fulin was speechless at this guy. The biggest news was at the end, and this person was too focused!

From this point of view, it will be a battle between the Censorate and the Sixth Corps!
