Chapter 858 The Emperor Digging the Wall
Tian Yi didn't know about Wang Fulin's psychological activities. He entered the palace at the age of nine and studied classics and history in Neishutang. He talked about loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness. The word "loyalty" was deeply engraved in his bones. Therefore, he didn't even think about what other emotions Wang Fulin would have when he received such a reward. After all, he was not only the emperor's appreciation of Wang Fulin, but also made it a special statement. Even Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, and Chen Yu, the Left Censor, were just to make this award seem less eye-catching, which shows the emperor's painstaking care.
So, next, he said in a tempting manner: "Eunuch Zhang, the chief minister of the Sili, gave all the Western Romances written by Wang Zhangdao to the emperor. After reading it, the emperor was mixed with emotion. Although it was a strange thing, he also learned from history and must be taken as a warning. This time, Wang Zhangdao did not hesitate to reveal such a corruption case many years ago, which is really commendable. If it were not for the enthronement of his family, he would have obtained it by the sixth rank official, with your previous contributions, Mr. Zhang, who has always loved you, and the emperor would have already spoken out..."
Wang Fulin knew that Tian Yi was the most important room and room in the Silijian, but his words were obviously towards the emperor. He couldn't help but think about it. I thought that Feng Bao, a Silijian who was so powerful, must have the most important position of the Silijian, must have placed his own people. Tian Yi should also know this trip. So should he be the emperor, or should he test him? But think about it, Feng Bao should have known that he was Zhang Juzheng's person for a long time, and it was even more impossible to test his relationship with the emperor, so he decided to answer with a ten thousand essential oil.
"The emperor is so kind, although I want to thank him, but in order to avoid criticizing the emperor's perverseness, I can only ask Eunuch Tian to thank God for my kindness. As for the hard work, I really feel ashamed. It is important to know that when I was young, I never changed my affairs and never became a censor in public, but now I am in the position of the censor in charge of the emperor. I feel uneasy whenever I think about it, and I should do my best to repay you for your kindness."
These days, civil servants naturally spoke up for words like loyalty to the emperor and serving the country without any stagnation. Of course, Wang Fulin also expressed his loyalty in his face, and did not feel half hot on his face. Seeing Tian Yi smiling like a flower, but his eyes still had hope, he knew that he had just said something less than what the other party wanted. So he asked tactfully: "If the emperor has any orders, he will never refuse."
◆◆◆◆,m.⊙.o▼m
If you Emperor Wanli has any easy task, I will take it with you. But if you have any trouble, I respect Xie Bumin, and I will find a way to sell you!
Tian Yi then showed a sincere smile. He glanced at the censors who were still far away and lowered his voice and said, "The emperor has seen you three times in Wenhua Palace. He is impressed by him. He only thinks that you are loyal and righteous. The emperor means that you should pay close attention in the Censorate to see if there are any censors who are as loyal and honest as you. You might as well absorb and gather them together. When the emperor needs it in the future, write a letter to speak about things and eliminate the traitors and evil spirits. The emperor also listened to Yuan Fu's other arrangements for you, but the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department sounded good, but high rank does not mean that you have great power. In the end, it is controlled by the Minister of the Secretariat."
Seeing that Wang Fulin's expression suddenly solidified, Tian Yixin thought that he was young and experienced. Even if he was smart, smart, eloquent, and strong in combat, he was still as steady as a mountain than older officials. But because of this, knowing that the emperor values it, Wang Fulin would definitely know which is more important between the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department and the Censorate.
You should know that the power of the Wenxuansi Langzhong is still limited, and as long as the censor is in charge of the long term and is deeply loved by the emperor, it is like the sixth department that can be transferred to the fifth or even the fourth level will not be a problem!
Wang Fulin only heard the story of the Wenxuan Department from Wang Zhuan, and even Zhang Juzheng had never mentioned it. Now Tian Yi came out on behalf of the emperor, and clearly stated that Zhu Yijun hoped that he would stay in the Censorate instead of going to the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel. How could he feel without fluctuations after hearing this? What is this? Zhu Yijun has begun to plan to build a team under the nose of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and the first choice is to pry Zhang Juzheng's wall. It turns out that he showed it in the Zhang Siwei incident before. Is the attitude of the Emperor's Decision very satisfied with the emperor? Or is it the emperor who thinks he has the courage to turn on old cases?
"The censor Kedao is a close minister of the emperor, and I should follow the emperor's arrangements."
"If the emperor knew that Wang Zhandao was so loyal, he would definitely feel relieved." Tian Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the biggest purpose of his trip today had been achieved. Seeing that the gate of the Censorate was not far away, he no longer mentioned the one just now, but raised his voice and asked about the situation of Wang Fulin's family with a smile. When he arrived at the door, he stopped walking, "There is no need to send Wang Zhandao again. We have to go to the Ministry of Personnel, so that we can leave this time. I just hope that the Three Laws can make a memorial statement so that all officials in the world can be alert and reflect on themselves."
"Thank you, Eunuch Tian, for your reminder, I will tell you to Lord Zongxian."
After bidding farewell, seeing Tian Yi and a few eunuchs meeting and leaving, Wang Fulin turned around and returned, smiling on his face, and he was so happy.
In history, the Wanli Emperor first released a hint after Zhang Juzheng's death, and then sent the newly promoted Kedao to impeach Feng Bao and Xu Jue, then drove the Da Yan to Nanjing, then liquidated Feng Bao's brother and nephew, and then gradually liquidated Zhang Juzheng's family. In the end, not only did he seize Zhang Juzheng's official position, but he almost broke up the coffin and killed the corpse. Even the old master of the Zhang family who was originally buried was removed from the original cemetery.
Although there are speculators who have long been dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng to make a big liquidation, if it weren't for the insight of Zhu Yijun's thoughts, among the ministers, there were Zhang Siwei who hated Zhang Juzheng, and Shen Shixing who could not suppress the situation, how could it be so big?
However, what would be the good end of the person who was once highly valued by Zhu Yijun and fired the first shot of Zhang Juzheng in liquidation?
Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng, the two closest eunuchs, were self-reliant, who were proud of their merits and power, and eventually lost their power and died. Several of the censors who advocated the title seemed to be lifted by the emperor. They all thought they were Zhang Cong Gui'e, the second, and fought with the Pavilion Ministers every day. However, none of them were easy to save the fire. Emperor Wanli was unable to protect these people in the end, and finally they were praised and fell fiercely. In a few years, several people were plotted by the Pavilion Ministers for the Shou Palace incident and were moved to the left, and their careers were wasted one by one.
If you want to learn from Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Wanli, who established his own team through the liquidation of Zhang Feng, a big ritual incident, was completely at a disadvantage in the struggle with the scholars and officials. Otherwise, if you did not succeed in the establishment of a prince, you would not attend court for twenty years. What about it?
If it were Jiajing, if you wanted to establish a crown prince, as long as the empress had no heir, directly deposed the queen, appointed Concubine Zheng, and then booked her beloved son as the crown prince, wouldn't that be true?
As for the establishment of the crown prince, it is impossible to resist Empress Dowager Ci Sheng... It is ridiculous. It is impossible to liquidate Zhang Feng, and Empress Dowager Li has no choice. She has no choice but to not attend court for 20 years in Wanli. It can be seen that it was because of Feng Bao inside and Zhang Juzheng outside, so that the empress dowager's prestige was able to show the empress dowager's prestige. After losing the two prime ministers inside and outside, it was just an ordinary woman. The so-called empress dowager's authority was only a piece of skin left. The so-called contribution of the crown prince was only when Wanli was forced to shake his mind by external ministers. She pushed her a hand when she was forced by the foreign ministers. How could she really affect the emperor? There were still people in later generations who were polite to Emperor Wanli but could control the government affairs in the later period. That was simply too much gold was put on this face.
Even the ministers he wanted to use could not be kept, and even the prince he wanted to establish could not be established. He valued tax supervision and imposed heavy taxes, which made the scholars and officials even more accustomed to the party struggle. What was this the demise of the Ming Dynasty in Wanli?
If you defect to such an emperor, treat such an emperor as the lord who serves wholeheartedly, and then throw it away when it is used up. Would he be crazy?
At least, whether it is Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao, for officials who are firmly standing on their side, they are so successful in promoting and maintaining them, unless you are willing to commit suicide!
However, Zhu Yijun had sent someone to show his goodwill. Wang Fulin knew that if he had expressed his words or had no action, it would not work. So when he turned to the main hall of the Censorate to report to Chen Xu, he winked at Hu Quan, the official in charge of the capital who was "just" strolling over in front of the door, signaled him to help him watch at the door, and then crossed the threshold and went in.
Sure enough, Qin Yiming, who had not taken the opportunity to get the opportunity to get the future star of the Silijian, was probably thinking that it was boring to stay here. He could still show off to others when he took the food box back, and he had already left. At this moment, only Lord Chen Yu, the General Consortium, was left in the main hall. After briefly reporting the news that Tian Yi had brought people to the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Fulin solemnly bowed to Chen Yu.
Chen Xu, who was confused, was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Wang Fulin had bowed to the ground and had no intention of getting up, he quickly left his seat and helped the person up very politely, and complained, "What are you doing? I have never regarded you as an outsider. I can't say anything well, and suddenly give this big gift?"
"Sir Zongxian, I think you know something. After I passed the Jinshi exam, I caused a storm. At that time, I used to treat people in public and never entered the Censorate."
When Wang Fulin first entered the Censorate, that past story was often taken out as a means of attack, but now he has been serving as the censor of the Tao for a year, with great achievements and brilliant results. No one has taken this seriously. Therefore, Chen Xu was very dissatisfied when he heard this, but before he could comfort him, Wang Fulin changed his mind again.
"So, with a heartfelt word from Lord Zongxian, I have never regarded the Censorate as a place I often stay. Moreover, I have repeatedly resigned from the censorship in front of Yuanfu, but I just felt that everyone thought I was not worthy of staying in this position, so I simply stopped doing it. But I don't think so anymore."
Chen Yu was startled and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. He naturally thought that Tian Yi came to reward sweets in person just now, and immediately said with a smile: "The censor Kedao is a close minister, and others are unavailable. You have to cherish such opportunities. As long as you are still as diligent as before, rewards like today will not be missing in the future."
"Reward and favor are second, and Lord Zongxian has always valued and cared for me. Such a royal family is hard to come by. I am not a wooden man, so how can I not think of the five internal organs?"
When Chen Xu heard Wang Fulin lifting himself to a higher position than the emperor's favor, even though he had heard a lot of flattery at such a large age, he still felt as comfortable as his pores all over his body seemed to be open.
Because a person who rarely flatters himself, his sense of accomplishment is completely different from that of a person who is usually a person who is very proud of his words!
"You have always been capable. As the Zuodu Censor, it is natural to appreciate the wise and capable."
"I used to confront Chen Sanmo, and this time I stabbed the hornet's nest with Qin Zhandao. If it weren't for the support of Lord Zongxian, there would definitely be no such result. I really don't know how to be grateful. A few days ago, there was a rumor that the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department was about to be fully appointed. I just had to go and fight, maybe I couldn't grasp it. I was a little moved. After all, Wang Shaozai and I have always had some friendship, but think about it, I have only been a censor of the Taoist throne for a year. If I were to be too ambitious, wouldn't I be sorry for Lord Zongxian's desire to maintain such a long time?"
This was the first time Chen Xu knew that Wang Fulin had actually turned the idea of the Ministry of Personnel. He was shocked and a little annoyed. But Wang Fulin clearly revealed it and hinted that he would follow him, the left censor, and continue to stay in the Censorate, instead of going to join Wang Zhuan, who had been moving hard and had a good relationship with both sides. He finally couldn't control his surprise and laughed.
It feels really good to be regarded as a backer that someone can rely on... What's more valuable is that Wang Fulin's subordinate has always been favored by Zhang Juzheng!
"Okay, okay!" Chen Xun smiled and held Wang Fulin's arms, pressed the man on the chair, then said with his hands behind his back, "If the Ministry of Personnel really robs people, I will fight with the king and I will definitely leave you behind! When Yuan Fu comes back, I will go. How can the Censorate be without you, a general like you? Don't worry, although the Censor has a low official position, as long as he turns two or three Daoist censors, then it's no problem to move back to Shaoqing!"
When Wang Fulin thanked repeatedly and left the main hall, he saw Hu Quan standing outside the door, but his face was a little depressed. When he saw him coming out, he was so excited that he straightened his body. He walked over and asked, "I heard what I said to Lord Zongxian just now, except you, right?"
"Absolutely not." Hu Quan immediately shook his head desperately, and then asked gingerly, "Master Wang, are you the one you just now?"
"Since you hear it, you should know it is true. Can I still speak nonsense in front of Lord Zongxian?" Wang Fulinwan glanced at Hu Quan as if he was smiling, "As long as there was nothing unexpected, I can support you for a few years."
Seeing Wang Fulin say this, Hu Quan felt relieved immediately. If such a Censor, who has a deep background and powerful means, is still open to Chen Hou, the number one in the Censorate, could stay in the Censorate for a few more years, he would have been able to walk sideways until he left the service!
Only Wang Fulin himself knew that his statement today was not completely forced out by the emperor's intentions that Tian Yi had just reposted, but he vaguely felt that the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department might be a first-class fat and shortage, but it was not the best choice.
Wenxuansi is in charge of employing people. He is not necessarily grateful to himself. If he employs people, he will be criticized by a gentleman who is Qingliu to death. Most of the time, he has to rely on Shangguan’s intention to select people. His autonomy is worse than being in the Censorate! In fact, if Zhang Siwei had not yet been killed, Zhang Juzheng would soon implement new policies such as measuring land, taxes, service and silver, and then he would be released as a chief officer like a prefect, which would be the most beautiful. Therefore, the plan could not keep up with the changes, so he could only be sorry for Wang Zhuan’s kindness!
