Chapter 811 The big fulcrum that the little people pry
The Feng family was infiltrated like a sieve, and the five people who ran away still had no whereabouts. Feng Bao was furious and felt that his younger brother Feng You and his nephew Feng Bangning were simply incompetent, so he simply let Xu Jue live in the Feng family to help manage housework and investigate everyone. Therefore, the Chief Squad of the Zhang Grand Secretary, who knew this, naturally found this place directly and reposted the owner's words to Xu Jue.
After sending the person away, Xu Jue narrowed his eyes and pondered. When You Qi was there, although the two had a fight openly and secretly, as the agents of the master behind them, they could largely manipulate the connection between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. After all, as the chief assistant and the head court, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were not allowed to meet frequently on weekdays to avoid losing their talk. Many things have to be done by them.
However, now that You Qiyi's death, Yao Kuang, the chief squad who was once very favored by Zhang Juzheng, was guilty again. Even if the people sent by the Zhang family to contact him were very picky, they were not used to this. They were cautious and trembling. He was even more difficult to discuss opportunities with unfamiliar people. For example, if You Qi is there, the two of them can easily come up with a strategy, but now he can only make the decision!
"You Qi is dead... I went to sue him personally again. Yuan Fu didn't say it on the face of the story, but God knows if he has any opinions about me... However, my benefactor is Eunuch Feng, and I cannot only consider Yuan Fu's position, but I have to consider Eunuch Feng's position."
Xu Jue knew very well that he had to learn from You Qi's lessons. No matter whether Feng Bao listened to him or not, he had to act like he was dedicated to Feng Bao!
Thinking of this, Xu Jue quickly made a decision and immediately wrote a handwritten letter, called Feng Bao's disciple in, and asked him to go to the palace and hand it over to Feng Bao himself.
When Feng Bao, who was in the General Office of the Sili and Supervision Bureau, saw this carefully prepared letter, he couldn't help but ponder.
Xu Jue clearly said Zhang Juzheng's request in the letter, but at the end he said obscurely that Zhang Juzheng was obviously going to be a **** and a archway and would not be so vulgar, but that's what he meant, and if Zhang Juzheng spreads Feng Bao's scepter and he dissuaded the matter that he had dissuaded, he earned himself the reputation of enduring humiliation and not caring about other people's attacks. Although it is not surprising that the prime minister wants to earn a good reputation, the prime minister and the prime minister have a white face and the other a black face. Feng Bao is still responsible for Zhang Juzheng's own business, which is too unfair.
Since this is the case, it would be better to instigate Emperor Wanli to bite the court stick and not relax. Zhang Juzheng thought there was nothing else. Feng Bao just said that the emperor was unfair to Mr. Zhang and could not persuade him, and that was enough.
Feng Bao didn't care if he was a scepter than a court stick. Even the emperor who seemed kind and decentralized power like the late emperor Muzong had used the scepter several times? What he cared about was whether Xu Jue was like You Qi, who only had selfish thoughts and forgot who gave him wealth and glory. Furthermore, no one was left between him and Zhang Juzheng. He was worried that others would be the chief assistant, so why didn't Zhang Juzheng feel that others would be the chief supervisor who was in charge of criticizing the heroes? If he hadn't coaxed Empress Dowager Ci Sheng Li in the palace and looked at Emperor Wanli, the criticizing the heroes had never refuted Zhang Juzheng's face. How could Zhang Juzheng be so easy!
Since this is the case, Xu Jue's suggestion is worth it. He wiped Zhang Juzheng's butt, and Zhang Juzheng was still timid, so how could it be so cheap! What's more, Zhang Juzheng had cleaned up the department before, and how many censors could be wiped out? Look at the guys who popped up in the Hanlin Academy and the Sixth Ministry this time. If they don't kill one to warn a hundred, how could they overwhelm those guys who claim to be gentlemen of the pure stream?
Wang Fulin, who sent Zhang Sixiu, gave him a vaccination, and then went to Liu Yingjie to find Wang Fulin. At this moment, he arrived outside Liu Yingjie's private house in the evening. He had already inquired that the Minister of Justice had returned from the yamen, and now he went straight forward to hand over the famous letter of asking for his visit. Compared to the traffic in front of Zhang Juzheng's house, the door was deserted. The only gatekeeper was very confused about Wang Fulin, the visitor. After seeing the signature clearly, he changed color slightly. He said politely, please wait, and ran inside.
While waiting for the news, Wang Fulin couldn't help but count the party in the same year of the 26th year of Jiajing. Just as the six ministers of the Left Censors were Yin Zhengmao, Liu Yingjie, Chen Zan, and the ministers, there were Wang Daokun, and now there was Wang Daokun. Now, he had to include the former minister Li Youzi who had just called the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate, and the last person who was also Zhang Juzheng. This is not the same as Ling Yunyi, who is still in the position of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. It has to be said that in addition to Zhang Juzheng's appointment of his personal affair with the same year, that term was indeed full of talents and a gathering of heroes.
After waiting for a long time, the doorman just came out with his famous post, but said a little embarrassedly: "The master said that he and Shiyu Wang, you have neither a selfish relationship nor a relative or a friend..."
"It is because I have no selfish friendship or relatives and friends that I come to ask for a meeting. If I were a junior of the family, I would not dare to come. Please go in and report it again, and say that Wang Fulin is not here for Liu Butang, but for a little bit of enthusiasm. Liu Butang is a senior in the court, so please take the time to see him for a moment."
The concierge hesitated for a moment, and finally went in and ran for a while. When he came back, he bowed and said, "Master is in the study, please come with the youngest person."
Although Liu Yingjie was once the governor of Ji Liao and then entered the court as the Minister of Justice, the residence of this capital, which was worth every inch of land, was not very consistent with the status of a minister. Wang Fulin only found that he simply walked around the screen wall and entered a side door. The doorman pointed to a house facing north and south inside, and said it was Liu Yingjie's study. There was a boy who was still in the corner in front of the door. He thought it was the Liu Mansion's book boy, but when he heard the doorman come forward and called Master Sun, he was stunned.
It turns out...is this Liu Yingjie's grandson?
The little guy was about ** years old, about the same age as the Jinbao that Wang Fulin saw when he woke up. At this time, he bowed very obediently and called Wang Shiyu, then personally opened the curtain and let him in. After entering the door, Wang Fulin saw Liu Yingjie sitting behind the desk in a house-style cloth robe. Apart from the bookshelf, desk, chair, and cabinet, there were almost no decorations in the entire study. It could not be said to be simple, but could only be called shabby! When he withdrew his gaze and bowed forward, Liu Yingjie threw a book in his hand on the table, and then said angrily: "Tell me, what's wrong with you coming to see me?"
"Liu Butang and my uncle were in the same year, and had worked with Marshal Qi in Ji Town for many years. You should know that my uncle and Marshal Qi fought against the Japanese in Fujian in the past, and they had a close relationship with each other, right?"
Liu Yingjie frowned in confusion, then sneered: "You and your uncle have turned against each other, and you still have to use him to persuade me?"
"No, I just want to say that because of what I said, I don't know much about Liu Butang's political achievements in other places. However, in Jizhen, the more than 100,000 hollow enemy platforms alone have been better than 100,000 soldiers training. Therefore, I have always admired Liu Butang. Compared with some people who only talk about things but can't do things, Liu Butang has been the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital for a short time, but has been working as the head of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital for the rest of the rest of the world. In particular, in military affairs in the north, there are no people who can be as familiar with Liu Butang."
He was wearing everything but flattered. Even though Liu Yingjie was stunning to keep Wang Fulin from visiting him today, he still felt a little relieved after hearing such affirmation.
"Although Altan has already praised the emperor in the north, the Duoyan Guard has also been calm. However, Taining Wei Fu Yu Guard plus Chahaner's troops, the border of Liaodong is still troublesome, not to mention that Zhang's office has become the Minister of War. Can the newly transferred officials compare with him? Since Liu Butang is still at ease, instead of telling him that he is weak, why not ask for a tour of Ji Liao, and then go to Xuanfu Datong, Ningxia, Shaanxi and Gansu? With Liu Butang's always upright personality, I think it will never alarm the local people, but can really pick out the mistakes!"
Liu Yingjie almost didn't stare out. He wanted to resign because he couldn't stand Zhang Juzheng's ridicule of love, which was just a matter of being at the funeral. He didn't move at this step, and he was waiting for the emperor to seize love. What's wrong with Wang Fulin's words showing weakness deeply touched his heart. He was the most powerful person. Although he was already sixty, the age of sixty was never considered old for the high-ranking officials of the court!
He stared at Wang Fulin and suddenly sneered, "If I don't listen to you going out for a walk, I won't get sick, and I will just stay in the position of Minister of Justice and not leave?"
"That's the best." Wang Fulin said with a smile, "There must be some different voices in the six ministries of the cabinet, otherwise wouldn't it be said that Yuan Fu was a one-man show?"
Liu Yingjie, who was mocking intently, was almost choked to death by Wang Fulin's understatement. He suppressed his anger and shouted word by word: "Is that not a one-man show now?"
"Of course," Wang Fulin didn't blink, and these three words burst out, and then he said slowly, "However, the new court has easily failed in just a few months. Is it because of Liu Butang's temperament? It's easy for you to leave, but who would be the one who will take over the position of Minister of Justice? It would be fine if you were a righteous and fair person like you, what if you were not familiar with the name of punishment?"
"You also know that the Censorate's Canton Road has been brushing and grinding in the Ministry of Justice before, but the result is really unsatisfactory. The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the world's crimes, and the insults in the Heavenly Prison have been around for a long time. Liu Butang and Wang Chonggu are different. You never regard the Ministry of Justice as a transitional place. Before you took office, you have been to the Tianyuan Prison twice and have investigated many criminal case files. I was right? If you just stood up and left like this, aren't you afraid that the old evil will rekindle again?"
Liu Yingjie didn't expect that Wang Fulin seemed to rarely meet with him alone. This was the first time such a deep conversation, but he could see his political achievements in the past few months as Minister of Justice. For a moment, he couldn't help but close his eyes, not wanting this younger generation to see his struggles.
Zhang Juzheng was stubborn and unwilling to have any objection. If he, the Minister of Justice, refused to be a swearing person, even if he was barely in power, he would have a slander in the future. It would be better to take advantage of Zhang Juzheng's love to take advantage of the fact that he was in love with him! But as Wang Fulin said, after he took office as Minister of Justice, he did not only plan to be the Minister of Taiping, but also wanted to do something. After leaving, all the preparatory preparations were ruined!
But of course he would not follow Wang Fulin's pace completely: "You and I have no relatives and no reason. When your uncle was about to be sick, why didn't you persuade me, but now you come to persuade me?"
Although Liu Yingjie asked this very trickyly, Wang Fulin felt the other party's tone loose. Knowing that there was only one last introduction, he simply said bluntly: "Because in my uncle's eyes, I am always a junior in the clan, and I should follow the arrangements of his elders in everything. But I have my own persistence in people and things. This is an irreconcilable contradiction. He can't listen to my principles, and I can't convince him. But today I met Liu Butang for justice. Taking a step back, Wang Chonggu was not so clean. Zhang Han's so-called attitude towards the chief assistant was just a fight. Does Liu Butang want others to compare you with them who have already or are about to withdraw from the court in disgrace?"
Liu Yingjie was convinced by Wang Chonggu's military achievements, but Liu Yingjie sneered at Wang Chonggu's official ethics; let alone Zhang Han, although he had served as a governor, in his eyes, it was a lack of good deeds, and this Minister of Personnel was even more bullshit! Therefore, Wang Fulin's last sentence really hit his heart. Liu Shangshu, who had suddenly become ruthless, slammed the table and said sternly: "Okay, then I'll stay, but don't want me to please Zhang Taiyue!"
Well, the job is done!
Wang Fulin immediately smiled. He would not persuade Liu Yingjie and Guang Tongchen to say something like that. He raised his hand and bowed, and said goodbye. When he stepped over the threshold with one foot and was about to go out from under the curtain, he could only hear Liu Yingjie's cold voice coming from behind.
"I won't be able to get your affection, don't let me grab your braid!"
"It is best if Liu Butang forgets what happened today." Wang Fulin turned slightly, nodded slightly, and then went out. Seeing the young master of the Liu family guarding the steps, he stood up quickly. He smiled and touched the little guy's head, turned around and looked inside the room where the curtain fell, and then said, "Your grandpa is a difficult person, and I dare not give you any valuable meeting gifts. This fan is for you."
Wang Fulin even unspeakable even the fan bag and fan on his waist were untied. Seeing Liu Yingjie's grandson's eyes flashing, he wanted to refuse but couldn't find a reason, he laughed: "It's not a valuable thing, white fan, my uncle's inscription, and uncle Zhongyan painted it, leaving it as a souvenir. Study hard and take the imperial examination in the future!"
The little guy held the thing and watched Wang Fulin leave with great strides, then he rushed into his grandfather's house. Liu Yingjie, who had heard the conversation outside, waved his hand before he could speak, "Wang Nanming was a famous scholar, what else can he say in their brother's calligraphy and paintings? Just keep it for you."
He said this, chewing on Wang Fulin's words just now, thinking that he had a falling out with his uncle, but he still carried Wang Daokun's original works with him, Liu Yingjie unknowingly tasted it.
Chapter completed!
