Chapter 804 Alarmism
Zhang Sixiu has also met several big shots these days. Although Zhang Juzheng has not seen guests as always, he has received half of the treatment of a deceased master. His ears have almost been called out when he hears the words of the mercy and change. However, this is the first time he has seen someone like Wang Fulin. He goes straight into the bush as soon as he meets him, without any slightest slut. After a while, he coughs and says, "Shiqing, my father values filial piety the most. If he hears these words, he will have to scold you for being so bloody."
No matter how much I scolded, I must be quite happy...
"Well, so I'll say to Brother Zhang first." Wang Fulin raised his eyebrows indifferently, and then changed his mind, "But the gentleman and even the scholars of the Qingliu are criticized, so they should not be taken lightly."
Zhang Sixiu was in the Hanlin Academy, so how could he not know this? Even when he walked in the Hanlin Academy, he could notice the extremely stunning gaze, as if someone was pointing behind his back, saying that his father did not attend the funeral immediately after hearing the funeral, and was like a beast. Therefore, he, who had always been sensitive, raised his eyebrows and said, "So, Shiqing, are you here to persuade your father to attend the funeral system or accept the love?"
"Of course, we should accept the love." Since Wang Fulin has decided his position, he will never adopt any vague and obscure attitude.
"In recent years, the Chief Auxiliary has implemented the law of examination, rectifying the study of politics and law, rectifying the postal and postal law and other political orders, which has great resistance. Local officials are just because the Chief Auxiliary is in power, so they are trying hard to implement it. If the Chief Auxiliary returns to his hometown to obey the system, who will rely on to implement it? Is it Mr. Lu? Or Mr. Zhang? Who can ignore his own reputation for other people's decrees? Although since Duke Liu Wenmu (Liu Ji) back then, unless he is in charge of Jin Ge, the Chief Auxiliary will not lose his affection. Now, there are people outside that said that Duke Yang Wenzhong (Yang Tinghe) has set an example, so future generations should also follow suit, but Duke Yang Wenzhong is really that noble?"
"As early as the year, some people said that he had been in the cabinet for a long time and had no money. What's more, who used the Beijing Administrative Office to eliminate dissidents, expelled the Grand Secretary Liang Chu, the Minister of Personnel Wang Qiong, the Minister of War Wang Xian, and the Minister of Revenue Yang Tan from the court? Who tried to prevent Wang Yangming from pacifying the heroes of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao from returning to the court to serve as officials? Everyone has selfish intentions. Yang Wenzhong is mourning because he was not in the court, and he was like that. Emperor Wuzong could not persuade him at most. At most, he could listen to him. He could not see or be upset when he returned to his hometown to mourn, and could support his hopes. Why not do it?"
Wang Fulin also thought that Yang Tinghe and Emperor Jiajing were beaten up because of the great ritual dispute, and even his son Yang Shen was exiled because of this. This was really a bit tragic. Emperor Jiajing was even more ungrateful. But later, he looked at Yang Tinghe's lack of political achievements in those years of being the chief minister. After all, Wuzong was as long as you were happy with me, and he felt that Yang Tinghe was indeed suspected of packaging the so-called contribution to supporting the policy.
What's more, it's better to embrace who is the only one in the family. Emperor Jiajing, who is also the inheritor, and also joined forces with Empress Dowager Zhang to make Emperor Jiajing a so-called wise ruler who would like to be like him and not let others recognize their own father. Who would do it? To embrace the eldest lord, you have to be prepared to turn against you if you don't admit your conscience! Otherwise, you can become a young master!
Zhang Sixiu has only been to Hanlin Academy for half a day recently. He heard people advocated that Yang Ting and Ding You had returned for more than two years after they had been in charge of the system. He was a model of the prime minister. His ears were almost calloused, but this was the first time he heard someone saying that Yang Tinghe also ruled out dissidents. Ding You held the system just to gain fame. Even though he always felt that Wang Fulin was arrogant and bold, he still couldn't help but take a breath.
But his mood improved a lot. After all, the big men in the court just tactfully stated that Zhang Juzheng should obey the emperor's edict and stay, and no one commented so explicitly. However, Wang Fulin's next words made him feel even more relaxed.
"When everything in the court is arranged and there is no more noise, it will be no longer late for the Prime Minister to return to his hometown to attend the funeral and bury his ancestors."
Speaking of this, Zhang Sixiu finally confirmed which side Wang Fulin was on. Even as a younger generation who lost his grandfather, he could not show any joy, but he no longer felt hesitant about Wang Fulin. But before he could say that his elder brother and his brothers did not make friends with Wang Fulin in vain, he heard Wang Fulin say another sentence seriously.
"However, I came to see you today, and in addition to expressing this meaning, I have another thing to ask for the Prime Minister. Although the Prime Minister is in a mourning and is inconvenient to meet guests, I still ask Brother Zhang to make it difficult and inform me. I will not delay the Prime Minister for a long time, just a short time."
Zhang Sixiu stared at Wang Fulin for a long time, remembering that Zhang Juzheng had been moved before, saying that Wang Fulin's censor had been in charge of two or three months but had not impeached a single person. Now he took action and directly faced two old masters and a minister. He was really extraordinary, but his implication was very obvious. He once again divided the attention of the court in the Zhang family, so he stood up immediately without hesitation.
"Then wait a moment, but now is not as good as before, but I cannot guarantee whether my father will see you."
Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Sixiu would probably pass on everything he said to Zhang Juzheng, so he just smiled and nodded. To be fair, he was the least willing to do such a thing that could prevent disasters from happening, but the situation was extraordinary. Since Wang Daokun made the decision and he used the bombardment of Wang Chonggu as his echo, he could only charge forward. After all, in order to kill You Qi, Zhang Juzheng put him in the position of the Chief Censor of the Dao. In the eyes of people, he, the Zhang Party, had already confirmed that he, the Zhang Party's backbone.
Since this is the case, it’s better to be more straightforward! Wang Daokun will definitely learn that he came to Zhang’s mansion and will take practical actions at that time, and he must open up the situation first!
Soon, Zhang Sixiu came back, glanced at him in a complicated way, and then said in a deep voice: "Father has been living alone in the study these days, so please follow me."
Wang Fulin has heard many people talking about this love behind his back, and he knows that many people criticized Zhang Juzheng for being unfilial. In his opinion, he couldn't help but feel that Zhang Juzheng was afraid that he would be more shocked and more sad than sad about his father's death. However, when he opened the door of the study and saw the old man with a haggard and gray hair that seemed to appear in more than ten days, he couldn't believe it.
You know, Zhang Juzheng is only fifty-three years old after all, and among so many prime ministers in the Ming Dynasty, he is considered a young and powerful person!
However, although he seemed to have been twenty years old, haggard and tired, when he saw Wang Fulin coming in, Zhang Juzheng's eyes became sharper.
His confidants were everywhere in the court, including the Minister of the Shangshu. Even if Wang Fulin didn't look at his age, he was also a minor generation with the Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. However, such a minor generation could do things that others could not do in courts where high officials and powerful people were everywhere. Therefore, even if the words reposted by Zhang Sixiu may have been deliberately Wang Fulin, he was not stingy with his current appearance.
When Zhang Sixiu closed the door behind him, Wang Fulin calmed down and bowed for a long time. Then he said in a deep voice: "Sir, I came today not for the emperor's edict to seize love, but for another thing. I brought it back from Liaodong and now I run a supervisor in a book printing shop in the capital. I heard that someone was planning to help his former chief assistant, Gao Xin Zheng Gong. Moreover, I heard that Gao Xin Zheng Gong was in poor health in recent years and often became ill, and it may not be delayed for a year or two."
Zhang Juzheng didn't expect that Wang Fulin came to ask for a meeting today, but it was because of this, and his face suddenly showed a shock!
He and Gao Gong were once political allies, but in the end they parted ways because there was only one highest power. Feng Bao, because Gao Gong originally recommended Meng Fang as the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, so he also sought to expel him from the palace. It was not enough to dismiss Gao Gong for the people, and even planned to kill him by the matter of the king and ministers! Even he had a bit of arguing at that time. If Yang Bo and Li Youzi and others had been urging him repeatedly, how could he persuade Feng Bao to stop and stop? But now, so many years have passed, and he thought about the past, he was not without some regret, and occasionally he would recall the past.
However, this does not mean that he really relaxed his vigilance against this old friend and old opponent!
"Haoxin Zheng Gong has been dismissed from office as a civilian for several years. Now that time has changed, why don't the Prime Minister send someone to visit him?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly became much sharper. Seeing that Wang Fulin did not dodge, he took out a page of paper from his sleeve. He saw that his head was full of fine but rigid fly-headed small calligraphy, which was obviously a printed book by a person in the bookstore. After glanced at the contents, he felt a sense of anger rushing into his mind.
The dispute between him and Gao Gong was fierce and secret. He was afraid that Gao Gong would really be dead to the point of death and unscrupulously revealed these words, but he didn't expect that the people above were completely nonsense! This was like the folk songs that wrote about the history of the previous dynasty, and they were just making up.
He was so angry that he kneaded the paper into a ball and threw it to the ground, but Wang Fulin actually picked it up and handed it to him again.
"The Chief Auxiliary, using the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, or directly issued a ban, may be able to ban such funny things, but it may also make people criticize the criticism behind the scenes. If it were really written by Gaoxin Zheng Gong, how could it be so nonsense? It was just that someone took advantage of the reputation of Gaoxin Zheng Gong and thought he had guessed the dispute that year, so he took the opportunity to make trouble. Instead of this, it would be better for the Chief Auxiliary to send someone to visit the court now, and to settle the situation in the court in the future, and to take the time to return to the hometown to bury the old master, and then meet Gaoxin Zheng Gong in person? He respected his descendants and published his articles, and Gaoxin Zheng Gong's collection of essays was published openly. The Chief Auxiliary's measurement was obvious. If there were such things in the future, it would be defeated."
If it weren't for sure that Wang Daokun and Gao Gong were not in a relationship at all, let alone Wang Fulin. He had never been to Henan. Zhang Juzheng thought that Wang Fulin was going to help Gao Gong recover! However, there was no second Shao Fang in the world. In addition, the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli and Feng Bao were watching closely in the palace. He was also firmer than Li Chunfang. Therefore, after chewing carefully, he keenly noticed something hidden after Wang Fulin's suggestion.
"You asked me to make a plan for a hundred years?"
"The Chief Minister once said that as a minister, one should be the first to make plans for the country, and not to pay attention to the details. But if some of the details that can be done now are not made early, it will be too late to seize the opportunity to make trouble in the future. Now it is just this ridiculous statement, but what if some books signed by Mr. Zheng from Gaoxin are really popular in the future? Let's take a step back, even if Mr. Zheng from Gaoxin can send someone to the house of Mr. Zheng from Gaoxin to secretly search, will the paper pieces similar to this kind of thing be taken into the bag early and wait for one day to spread throughout the world?"
Speaking of this in one breath, Wang Fulin only paused, then slowed down and said: "Originally, when I got this thing, I wanted to hide it and not let the Prime Minister know. After all, at the critical moment of the emperor's edict to seize the love, there may be someone who is pointing fingers because of the love. If he joins this matter again, the Prime Minister will be furious and strict in investigation. But at this moment, the Prime Minister's death is a big deal, and this matter is just a matter of minority. In the future, the Prime Minister's death will be settled for a moment."
Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with admiration but alertness: "You are indeed bold."
"I actually don't want to be so bold. I just think of the consequences in the future and be forced by this situation. After all, everyone outside says that I am the concentric humerus of the Prime Minister. Since this is the case, I dare not speak out on my own absurdism. But as long as I can think of such details, I must not keep silent.
Just like when others impeached me incompetently, I have never been impeached for two or three months, but I have never been in office. I am not angry. This time I impeached two old masters and a minister in one go, but others have lost their voices, but I am not happy. This censor of the Taoist rank is not what I want to do, but since the Chief Aunt entrusted the important task at the beginning, I should do my best to do my best."
Young people do not consider the consequences when doing things. This is Zhang Juzheng's usual opinion. In the past, he thought that Wang Fulin's bold and arbitrary actions were like this. But now, Wang Fulin clearly told him that he had considered the consequences and did that kind of behavior. He couldn't help but carefully examine the younger generation in front of him again. Although he was still good in spring and autumn, Wang Fulin actually vaguely advised him to do things a hundred years later. However, after his father suddenly died of illness this time, even if he was only fifty-three years old, his mood was already as scared as a real old man.
"Very good. When I settled in the court this time, I will go to Jiangling to attend the funeral and burial, I will go to see Gao Xinzheng."
Zhang Juzheng said this, but thought to himself that he would secretly inform Feng Bao and ask him to send the most elite Jinyiwei and the East Factory spy to see who was interacting with Gao Gong. But most importantly, see if Gao Gong really entrusts the manuscript to whom!
Although Wang Fulin was in his heart, he admired Gao Gong, the chief assistant who was also brave and capable, but was also clumsy in his plan. However, Zhang Siwei and Gao Gong were in the same group. Since he got such a manuscript from He Xinyin, he forged this squandering thing based on the manuscript. He had already determined Wang Daokun's intentions before. Today, he used this as the entry point and had to go this trip. Just when he calculated the time and pretended to be ready to leave, he suddenly heard Zhang Sixiu's voice coming from the outside.
"Father, Mr. Wang from the Ministry of War sent a letter."
It's indeed here!
