Chapter 808: The Grand Shuffle of the Officials
Wang Daokun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, resigned due to illness, and Wang Chonggu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, asked to surrender due to impeachment.¥f.¥f
No one expected that at the critical moment of Zhang Juzheng's love affair, the Ministry of War would have made such a change first! Now, the Ministry of War was the only right assistant minister Zeng Shengwu left!
After Emperor Wanli accepted the resignation of the two officials of the Ministry of War, Zhang Juzheng officially accepted the edict to seize the love. This time, it was like a stone causing a thousand waves, and the court, which had long been full of discussion, was even more uproar. At this critical moment, Wang Daokun sold his house as fast as possible, dismissed many servants, packed his luggage and returned to his hometown. Although he had been dismissed from office and unemployed, the house in the capital has always been kept. Now that he has even sold his house, it is not just about illness, but about old age, which gives people a feeling of giving up and regaining.
It was not until this time that he saw that the world was getting cold and cold. Yin Zhengmao sent a confidant chief squad. After asking about the reason, he was afraid that he would avoid him. Yin Zhengmao, a fellow villager in the same year, was like this, let alone Cheng Yi, and didn't even mention seeing him off. However, Xu Guo sent Jin Bao and his eldest son to come with him and sent Wang Daokun a trip in advance. It is said that because of such differences, Yin Zhengmao and Xu Guo seemed to have a dispute the next day, and the once seemingly unbreakable She Party suddenly fell apart.
However, many Qingliu highly praised and admired Wang Daokun's move. Because there were always many carriages, horses and cages, the Wang family and his group were walking very slowly. After walking only ten miles from the city to the Zhangjiawan Canal Pier, several groups of people came to see him off. Wang Daokun listened to those words expressing condolences, sympathy, and admiration. He was a little startled at first, but in the end he became completely numb. However, when the last group of people came to see him off, when the carriage stopped and a middle-aged scholar in his early forties fell from above, he was finally surprised.
He turned out to be a James and a Bachelor of the School of the Zhan Shi Mansion. He was one year earlier than Xu Guo and was more famous. Everyone said that he was the second-level senior Wang Xijue, who was chosen by the future cabinet ministers!
Wang Daokun thought that he could not have a relationship with Wang Xijue at all, but he couldn't help but be stunned. It was not until the other party got off the carriage and stepped forward that he immediately got off the carriage with the help of his old servant. After seeing each other on both sides, he saw that Wang Xijue bowed deeply: "Senior Nanming said he was sick and returned home on his way. Everyone knew that you were trying to persuade Yuan Fu, so he retired in disgrace. Among the big bosses of the court, Zhang Ziwen, the Minister of Personnel, just wrote a letter to leave Yuan Fu, but he did not dare to persuade him. In comparison, he was far inferior to you!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Xijue actually compared himself with Zhang Han. Wang Daokun couldn't help but twitched, and he sighed that he had resolutely resigned, so as not to let the three people in She County bring great help and shackle Wang Fulin, and to see people's hearts by the way. But in the final analysis, isn't it a shortcut to become famous? He knew that he could not make too much of a name on this official road where people came and went, so he shook his head and said, "My brother Jing Shi is so serious. I have only been in the military for many years, and then worked hard in the work, so I became sick after overwork. Then I returned home to rest. It was not a matter of admonition for the chief assistant and retired sadly. Otherwise, this would be to seek fame by others' affairs, which is too unkind!"
Wang Xijue was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Brother Nanming is such a humble gentleman. You are sending me a private message to persuade me. Now Yuan Fu has accepted the love, but I am going to come to the door to persuade me next day. If Yuan Fu still refuses to accept it, I am afraid that I will write a letter to ask me to go back to my hometown like you."
When Wang Daokun heard that Wang Xijue was now in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he planned to do something hard, but failed to retreat bravely. He avoided the current period of Zhang Juzheng's rule, even if he had no selfish relationship with him in the past, he couldn't help but feel shocked. However, he also knew that compared with his younger brother Wang Daokun, Wang Xijue's younger brother Wang Dingjue was the same year as Ye Junyao's term, and ranked in the top two grades. He worked in the two capitals and six ministries in the past year. He had already transferred to a foreign position to learn Taoism the year before. Besides, Wang Xijue did not have a terrifying enemy like Zhang Siwei, and even if he resigned, he would not have to keep anyone in the court just in case!
"Then please take good care of my brother Jing Shi. I will take a step first, go back to my hometown to serve my relatives, and enjoy the joy of family."
Seeing Wang Daokun bid farewell with a smile, Wang Xijue saw that the Wang family and his group continued to move, and the car, horse, box and cage seemed simple. He knew that the Wang family in Songmingshan, like his own Taicang Wang family, were both wealthy businessmen and did not need to be a greedy official to make a living. Now this extremely simple luggage must have been the result of selling large wooden furniture and selling off the unseasonable clothes. However, as Zhang Juzheng's confidant, Wang Daokun chose not to have a passive confrontation like Zhang Han, but to write letters with dignity. He still admired him quite a bit.
As for himself... he would find the right opportunity and come to persuade him as he told Wang Daokun!
Although Jin Bao sent Wang Daokun early on instead of his teacher Xu Guo and adoptive father Wang Fulin, Wang Fulin had no idea at all. In the eyes of the censors below, they naturally had their own ideas. Among them, Wang Jiguang, who had been at the forefront of everything and had a lot of strange words, became silent because he had almost become the target of the officers before. However, Wang Xue had been the juren who won the provincial examination when Wang Fulin was in charge of the provincial examination, but he always did not say anything. When he said something amazing, he pointed out to Wang Fulin in person that even if it was different political views, it was wrong to disrespect his elders!
Zheng Yougui, who was guarding the door, was so straightforward that he was almost frightened. But when he saw that Wang Fulin was expelled from the Censorate during the investigation of non-provincial officials not long ago, the more than 200 officials in the Censorate were simply silent. As for the censors outside the Censorate, some were criticized by Wang Fulin because they only slept on night shifts and did not care about official documents. Some were still unspeakable people; some were picked by Wang Fulin because they were criticized by Wang Fulin because they were behind the scenes. The most important thing was that the time for the three judicial departments to summarize the sentences of the Prime Minister was not counted as the test. Wang Xuezeng didn't want a future?
But to his surprise, Wang Fulin was neither angry nor sarcastic. After hearing it lightly, he didn't even answer, so he let Wang Xuezeng come out. He thought that Wang Fulin was just talking nonsense, and he was about to wear Wang Xuezeng's shoes. Who knew that when he turned around and went in, he only listened to Wang Fulin's orders: "Let's go back and go to a few straight rooms for the trial censors, tell them, the three judicial managers of the Dali Temple Censorate of the Ministry of Justice, let Wang Xuezeng and Ma Chaoyang go."
"Master Zhang Dao, then you..."
"I won't go." Wang Fulin stretched and said with a smile. "If I don't go, they will be more focused and conscientious, for fear that I will make mistakes after turning back. I can save some effort. So what's wrong?"
Although only Zheng Yougui heard the scene at the door clearly, Wang Xue had not deliberately lowered his voice. Many censors and officials on the other side of Fujian Dao heard it, so the news spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of the Zuodu Censor Chen Zan. Seeing that those who had been retiring for several days and those who had been sick for several days were already very old. He knew that he was not energetic enough, he originally wanted to resign, but in this way, if he resigned after Wang Chonggu and Wang Daokun, he would inevitably feel like he was disagreeable in politics and left. Zhang Juzheng seemed to have discovered his powerlessness, so he asked someone to send a message.
Zhang Juzheng hinted that he might as well let Wang Fulin be Sasuke on his behalf in some cases and even assist in business work such as decision-making!
Of course, Chen Zan knew that after ordinary supervisors and censors were in the inspectors and served as chief censors due to their seniority, they were actually promoted to the Censorate. After all, positions such as the fifth-rank experience and the experience of the Chief Secretary were not appointed to Jinshi. Moreover, the fourth-rank right assistant censors, the third-rank right deputy censors, and even the second-rank right censors, either the governors or the secretary who presided over the work of the Censors in Nanjing could not be promoted to the seventh-rank supervisor. This was not the special period when Emperor Jiajing, who supported Zhang Cong and others, gave special graces to the censors who supported him because of the great etiquette!
Chen Zan felt very uncomfortable when he realized that Zhang Juzheng not only wanted to keep him and continue to serve as the Zuodu Censor, but also took the opportunity to train Wang Fulin. The old man and Wang Daokun were in the same year. Although he was much older than Wang Daokun and did not have much personal relationship, he heard that Wang Fulin had another dispute with Wang Daokun because Zhang Juzheng had a crush on love, and Wang Daokun resigned. His uncle and nephew turned against him completely. He didn't have the sadness of the rabbit and the fox in his heart? After all, he didn't even agree with Zhang Juzheng's love!
It is precisely because of this that Chen Zan used to appreciate Wang Fulin very much, but now he thinks that young people are too utilitarian and useless methods. But today he heard that Wang Xuezeng was spitting in person. Wang Fulin even brought Wang Xuezeng and Ma Chaoyang, who had always been careful, to report to participate in the review and handling of the three courts, and immediately became a little confused. After thinking about it, he didn't understand it. He thought that he had already entered the countdown to retirement anyway, so he simply ordered the capital official Hu Quan to call Wang Fulin over directly.
As soon as he pointed to the desk document, Mr. Chen ordered straightforwardly: "If your Guangdong Road is fine, I will deal with the things summarized by each road for me."
Wang Fulin didn't care much about Chen Zan's tone that was harder than usual, but what Mr. Chen ordered made him secretly take a breath. Without thinking about it, he immediately refused: "Sir Zongxian, this is not in accordance with the rules. If there are really many things, Sir Zongxian can ask the court to transfer the right deputy censor to the Censorate to the Censorate. If you want to temporarily hire someone Sasuke, there are many people who are older than me. Even if it is fair, Sir Zongxian can come to Sasuke one after another to set the rules for rotation. For long-term stability, the last one is undoubtedly the best."
Could it be that I misread the person?
When Chen Zan heard that Wang Fulin not only refused, he even gave himself an idea. After being slightly stunned, he sighed and said, "If you want to say that Wang Zhuan, the right assistant censor of Nanjing Censorate, happened to be in Beijing. If he was ordered to transfer to Beijing and assist the Censorate, I could have more helpers, but I didn't expect that Yuan Fu would directly transfer the person to the Ministry of Justice to be the Minister of Justice... Forget it, then according to your idea, the thirteen censors of the throne will be in turn. Just wait and see who will take over me, the old man, in the future, and then turn this one. But you have come, you will pick up this one after another!"
Looking at Chen Zan's obviously tested gaze, Wang Fulin sighed secretly, then rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then please give me some advice to the minister!"
Wang Fulin was arguing with Chen Zan on the matter of Zuodu Censorship, but Zhang Juzheng had not finished the Qiqi. After all, he knew that he had not gone home to attend the funeral, nor did he look like the senior and senior assistants back then, at least he would be at home for a few days. So if he went to the cabinet even before Qiqi, he would undoubtedly be criticized. However, because Lu Diaoyang and Zhang Siwei had their own concerns, he still followed Feng Bao's secret advice and sent all the memorials that should not have been taken out of the cabinet to his private home through Feng Bao's channels.
Although he will not make a formal vote plan to avoid being caught, he can make a brief based on certain content and then convey it to Lu Diaoyang or Zhang Siwei to write a vote, which is the safest thing.
At this moment, in a thick stack of memorials on the desk, he took the memorials of various officials who wrote letters to keep him, and then glanced at a glance and called a few names, and ordered a squad in front of him to see these sects, and ordered them to write to impeach Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel. He was angry and said he was angrily resigned, but he just felt that Wang Daokun was pedantic and ignorant. But Zhang Han was different, but he didn't think about how he got the position of Minister of Personnel. After receiving the emperor's edict, he wanted to write a letter to keep him, but he still refused on the pretext that the emperor could not stop him from sending someone to question him, so he was frightened to be guilty.
If you don’t have enough strength but still want to fight with yourself, but you don’t have enough character and ambition, and you want to stay in your position and not leave, how can you be so cheap!
After the chief squad left, Zhang Juzheng had just habitually spread out a memorial, but he heard another squad serving outside the study report carefully. After he shouted, the person came in with a memorial and a private message. After the ceremony, he said tremblingly: "Master, Eunuch Feng urgently sent a memorial, which was Wu Zhongxing, an editor of the Hanlin Academy."
He didn't dare to think about what Wu Zhongxing said in the letter, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The other letter is a private message from Lord Wang, the Minister of Justice."
Zhang Juzheng waited for the chief squad to let go and exit the door as if he ran away. Although he knew that the other party would not dare to peek at the content of Wu Zhongxing's memorial, his face still became gloomy. Sure enough, when he opened Wu Zhongxing's memorial, he immediately shook his whole body. If it was said that his disciple, Liaodong Inspector Liu Tai, impeached him, was like stabbing him hard in his heart, then now, Wu Zhongxing, who was also his disciple, who also chose Shujishi, said that he would ignore the rules of Tianlun, and then he would be like a stick behind his back, his mouth full of sweetness.
Although Wang Fulin and Wang Zhuan had long reminded that there seemed to be such a trend in the Shilin, he never expected that his disciples would take the initiative first!
He angrily left Wu Zhongxing's memorial and then took off Wang Zhuan's private message to read it. But after a glance, he couldn't help but crumpling the whole piece of paper into a ball.
It was not Wang Zhuan who was angry with him, but Wang Zhuan told him that Liu Yingjie, the Minister of Justice, also planned to write a letter to retire. Liu Yingjie actually told Wang Zhuan clearly that he could not work with people who did not follow the principles of nature and ethics!
If he tried his best to keep him, would he be willing to stay Chen Zan, the censor of the Zuodu, who was not certain, and Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, whom he must take away, Wang Chonggu and Wang Daokun, who had already left, and Liu Yingjie, how many important ministers of the six ministries and the Censorate should mobilize? This person is all trying to defeat his army?
