Chapter 840 The distraught Zhang Siwei
Although Zhang Juzheng was not here, although Lu Diaoyang was sick at home, and although he was now the oldest senior in the cabinet, Zhang Siwei looked at the important memorials he had passed to Zhang Juzheng every day with the post station fast horse, and felt that the third auxiliary, who was about to be promoted to the second auxiliary, was like a puppet, which felt even more uncomfortable than the last ranking in the previous ranking. It was not until this time that he realized that Lu Diaoyang had blocked the way and forced the second auxiliary to squeeze down the second auxiliary. In fact, he was just thinking about it.
Just look at Lu Diaoyang's current situation, you will know that this person originally wanted to leave, but his actions of adding extra money have made him an enemy for no reason! Without Lu Diaoyang, Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing are new cabinet masters, so a lot of pressure needs to be borne by him alone. Moreover, sitting in the position of the chief minister, he can't make any decision and relying on Zhang Juzheng to give instructions, that's better than before!
The most bad mood was the blatant factory guard's eyeliner near the Zhang family. He could even notice those unscrupulous gazes on the way back and forth from home every day. Although he had known that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were wearing pairs of pants, he used to obey everything and flatter him in front of Zhang Juzheng. At that time, even if the factory guard had eyeliner monitoring, he would find it difficult to detect it. How could he remind me that he was monitoring you like now?
For him, who was already thoughtful and thoughtful, he naturally thought of the group of people who were sent to Gaogong to visit and retrieve manuscripts, but encountered robbers on his way back.
But since that time, he was so scared that he didn't dare to have any contact with Gao Gong anymore. But now, if the eyeliner of the factory guards had discovered his secret move at that time, why would he have to wait until now?
Since he couldn't figure it out and could not change this situation, Zhang Siwei tried his best to pretend that he was fine and went between his home and the cabinet as usual. In the court discussion a few days ago, others did not go, but he was not unwilling to worry about the result. He thought that Wang Fulin took the opportunity to avenge Fan Shimei, but in the end it turned into Wang Fulin's fight against Chen Sanmo. In the end, Wang Fulin, the rising star, actually pulled Chen Yu, the Zuodu Censor, and successfully won the support of most senior officials and suppressed Chen Sanmo. This ending naturally made him unexpected.
But after the accident, he realized that taking advantage of the heavy setbacks of the Sixth Casino this time, it was not unfavorable to him.
During the day, when he summoned Chen Sanmo, his words and deeds were like a spring breeze everywhere, but he did not forget to take Zhang Juzheng out everywhere. He repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Juzheng always had a high evaluation of Chen Sanmo, the official department, and trusted him very much. Until the end, he saw that the temperature was almost the same, he smiled and said, "As for the dispute between the court and the Censorate before, it was just a trivial matter, you don't have to take it seriously. You must know that Wang Fulin is used to being strong and has to stand out in everything. Sometimes he can't help but ignore his seniors. But he didn't know that this matter was not so much about your suggestions, but rather that it was Yuan Fu's original intention."
This last sentence simply ended up in Chen Sanmo's heart. When he made suggestions to Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng clearly agreed very much, thinking that this would make Ke Dao more alert, and the ten free trial censorships could also be used to show kindness to win over other officials with good political achievements, but Wang Fulin was scolded to death. However, even though he was soothing, he knew that Zhang Siwei was Zhang Siwei and could not regard people as the Yuanfu he followed, so he just smiled and expressed that he accepted the other party's kindness and did not dare to just talk. But immediately afterwards, what Zhang Siwei said made him feel very moved.
"Yuan Fu is away and may not know some things, so I have collected all the records from the court discussions in the past and sent them to Yuan Fu."
When Chen Sanmo heard this, if he didn't understand that Zhang Siwei was supporting him, he would have been in the officialdom for so many years in vain. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing, and his ranking was just a big shot. He was not as good as Wang Fulin's fate and could occupy the top spot in the 3rd. However, he was selected as a Shujishi in that term. It's a pity that his classics and history skills were not so solid, so he could not stay in the Hanlin Academy. But he was very lucky to observe the Ministry of Political Affairs and War, and eventually remained as the head of the Ministry of War, and then became the Criminal Department in the selection of the Kedao.
From the head of the sixth grade to the seventh grade, I seemed to have dropped the third level all at once, but I don’t know how many heads of the sixth grade are willing to exchange him.
During his seven-year career, he was promoted from the Criminal Department to the Criminal Department, the Right Department, the Left Department, and the Left Department, and he also went to Korea to issue the ultimate edict, and was eventually promoted to the Chief of the Sixth Department. However, in the thirteenth year after he passed the Jinshi, he was still only a seventh rank. And his fellow in the same year, such as Xu Guo had already reached the fifth rank in the Hanlin Academy, and many of them had become fourth-rank prefects, and the third- and fourth-rank divisions were divided into patrols and guards. For example, Yu Yuan had already become an inspector. But even so, his official department could still look down on these same year that was much higher than his.
If he is willing to free up the position of the official department and the minister, he can immediately rise to a high-ranking official of the fourth and fifth rank like Taichang Shaoqing and Guanglu Shaoqing! This is his qualifications in the Sixth rank and this is accumulation!
At this moment, Chen Sanmo immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Mingyun."
If it weren't for Zhang Siwei, he would have been decisive this time. But if Zhang Juzheng knew about this, then when the prime minister came back, he would have to see if Wang Fulin could still be proud!
Since he had brought the relationship closer unknowingly, Zhang Siwei naturally focused on comforting Chen Sanmo. After the matter was agreed, when Chen Sanmo said goodbye and left the straight room, he had disappeared. Many official duties that he would bow to the next time had even been finalized. Zhang Siwei, who was deeply satisfied with this, got up and went to the toilet in the clean room. When he returned to the straight room table again, he found that there was something on the table. He frowned and glanced at it, and his face changed drastically by the familiar handwriting. After grabbing it, he immediately fell down and no longer had the good mood he had just now.
This is Gao Gong's handwriting, one of Gao Gong's manuscripts, and not the ones at his house. He is sure that he has never seen them before!
After being silent for so long, the person who intercepted his stuff finally began to threaten him with this stuff?
Zhang Siwei held the thin piece of paper tightly, feeling that his hand was heavy. If Zhang Juzheng was still in the capital, he might have chosen to sacrifice his contact with Gao Gong for many years and take out all the manuscripts after weighing the pros and cons. But even so, the possible consequences would be very serious, because Zhang Juzheng's trust in him was actually not as good as before when he was Wang Chonggu's previous affairs. But now Zhang Juzheng has returned to his hometown to bury his father. It can be said that he has even lost the choice of fighting to the death. The only thing he can do is to wait for this guy who can instruct people in the cabinet to enter his straight room to put things in his straight room to find him.
And he was looking for him when he was clearly being monitored!
Who is it? Could it be that Feng Bao took the opportunity to catch a big fish?
Zhang Siwei, who was confused, wanted to destroy this manuscript, but after thinking about it, he finally folded the paper in half and put it in his arms, and continued to handle government affairs like nothing happened. On this day, he was on a night shift in the palace. As the sun gradually set, Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing both returned home, and the people in the Zhongshuo Temple also gradually returned. The busy cabinet, which was coming and going during the day, gradually became quiet. Zhang Siwei had used supper and sorted out the official documents sent by the day, but was a little absent-minded.
In his opinion, if someone knew that he was on duty at night and sent another manuscript to him, he would never let it go. I am afraid that the next thing would be to have a face-to-face contact.
"Old Master, Master Tian, the master of the Wenshu Office, is here."
Under the Sili Supervisor, the most important thing is the documentary room in charge of receiving and receiving memorials, so most eunuchs in the Sili Supervisors were promoted from the position of the documentary room. With such a cause and effect, Zhang Siwei naturally had a good understanding of the documentary room. Now, there is only one of the ten palm rooms named Tian, that is, Tian Yi, who was appointed as the chief officer of the Sixth Corridor and was promoted to the chief officer of the documentary room in the early years of Wanli. However, Tian Yi, who was not young in his early fifties, was neither Feng Bao nor Zhang Hong's person. It is said that this palm room was appointed by Emperor Wanli. He was always cautious and never acted like a mighty man. How could this person plot against him?
Before Zhang Siwei could think about it, he immediately ordered to invite him in. When Tian Yi entered the straight room, he did not have the reserve of the cabinet ministers and greeted him very politely. When he was about to test the other party's purpose, Tian Yi only heard Tian Yi say, "Geunuch Zhang, the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Liberation, Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang send me to ask. The previous court discussions were made by the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate. Did the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate make a final decision? Also, the records of the previous court discussions are still there. The Emperor asked, Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang were about to submit them."
As soon as these words were said, Zhang Siwei immediately took a deep breath. He told Chen Sanmo that he had sent the important memorials he had put on the post station to Zhang Juzheng. Now Feng Bao and Zhang Hong were going to submit them to the emperor? Knowing that this matter was not allowed to be circumvented, he pretended to be calm and said: "The Ministry of Personnel has already formulated a list of test censors for the top and temporarily planned to be retained. Chen Yu, the left censor of the Censorate, has also recognized it and is about to submit it to the emperor. The records of the previous court discussion should still be there, so I will send someone to find it."
Tian Yi hurriedly bowed to thank him. Seeing Zhang Siwei getting up and summoning a rotating Zhongshu Sheikan in, he suddenly said, "By the way, Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang said that the court discussion recorded that the Liuke Langhu Department's director of Zhongcheng Naixuan, and asked for his original manuscript."
Zhang Siwei was a little lucky that he had asked someone to keep a copy, but when he heard that the two wanted the original, he saw Tian Yi's serious expression and immediately realized that this was just a person who was ordered, and then he had no luck again. He simply gestured to let the Zhongshuo keep it for the time being, and then said lightly: "I have sent Yuanfu to send him to Yuanfu in the original court record. After all, the dispute between Kedao is very important and Yuanfu needs to make a decision. In order to prepare for investigation, I also asked someone to copy it as it is. I wonder if this copy is available? If possible, please ask Eunuch Tian to take it back. If not, I can't help it."
Tian Yi was indeed ordered to act and did not know the name of this. But now he saw that Zhang Siwei was polite at first, but at this time he had a little more supreme meaning. He keenly realized that there was something hidden behind this matter that he didn't know. He always adhered to the purpose of being kind to others. If he was not surprised, he did not want to have a conflict with a cabinet master like Zhang Siwei, so he did not angry, but said kindly: "Since that's the case, I'll ask the cabinet master to get it. I'll go back and report to Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang."
"Since that's the case, then, Dou Xuan, you go and get it." After the Secretariat's servant went, Zhang Siwei knew that there was no valuable thing from Tian Yi's mouth. In addition, he was in a bad mood and was not in the mood to talk to the landlord in the literary room who was obviously quite holy. After speaking a few words, he used the excuse of busy affairs to work. Soon, the Secretariat's servant brought the record, and Tian Yi did not stay for a long time, but took the thing and said goodbye. When he left, the Secretariat's servant was very good at observing his words and expressions, and immediately escaped. Zhang Siwei's face suddenly turned ashen.
What does Feng Bao and Zhang Hong mean? Could it be that the two who have always had disagreements with each other? And they all doubted him?
Zhang Siwei, who was so upset that he had no sleepiness, stayed until the third day of the gang ringing, and then made the bed and went to bed. However, after tossing and turning for a long time, he still couldn't close his eyes. His eyes and heart were filled with all kinds of speculations and conjectures. In the past few years after entering the cabinet, he only found that he not only achieved nothing, but also compensated his uncle Wang Chonggu. Now the thing he did was obviously secretly may be exposed, and he was forced to a desperate situation. It can be said that his career has reached a critical moment for so many years!
At this time, should we continue to endure and bet on Zhang Juzheng whether he believes in himself or other people's slander... or just go all out and fight to the death?
Just when he was half asleep and couldn't make a decision, he could only hear a rustling sound from outside. He had not been asleep yet, and got up, listened for a while, and finally asked in a tentative manner: "Who?"
After this question, the outside room suddenly became quiet. But after a moment, he heard a cricket-like chirping outside the door. With the dim light in the room, he clearly saw something in the crack of the door. He was shocked and he no longer felt hesitant. He hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, pulled his shoes and went forward, but posted a letter on the ground.
When he opened it, he couldn't see the fly-headed small calligraphy on the top. He could only take the oil lamp on the head of the bed. After scanning it, he found that the general intention of the top was to invite him to take out Gao Gong's manuscripts, expose Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's conspiracy to deceive the Holy Mother and the emperor, and to pull the two internal and external ministers off. After the matter was completed, the chief minister would belong to him, and the inner minister would belong to him.
He actually blatantly talked to himself about his own rights and internal affairs afterwards, and he was confident that he could take Feng Bao and replace him... Except for the two most beloved Zhangs around the little emperor, who else could there be?
Just as he was holding the post and his face turned blue and white, he heard a huge noise suddenly coming from the outside. Then, there was a banging knock on the door outside.
"Gei Master, Ge Lao, and Eunuch Feng, the Chief Secretary of the Literature, said there was an urgent matter of 100,000 yuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard that the door was knocked open, and even the bolt could not bear it, the force fell to the ground. Seeing Feng Bao strode in, Zhang Siwei, who was holding the post in his hand, felt a cold air coming to his heart. For the first time in his life, he felt a deep malice.
No matter whether the thing in his hand is true or false, he was plotted against, and it was actually a naked frame-up of such flaws!
