In the 44th year of Jiajing, there were many Jinshi students in the list, with one, two, and three, and a total of 394 people. Among these nearly 400 people, 28 Shujishis were finally selected through the museum selection. The teacher at that time should have been Gao Yi, but Gao Yi happened to be promoted, so Chen Yiqin served as the teacher. However, both Gao Yi and Chen Yiqin were all those who later became cabinet masters.

This is also one of the benefits of Shujishi. In addition to being a teacher of the cabinet, there will also be a future teacher who will serve as a teacher, that is, a teacher. For example, Xu Jie is not Zhang Juzheng's teacher, but a teacher.

Xu Guo was the third-class Jinshi in that year. He passed the museum selection and passed the Shujishi selection. After three years of separation, he was one of the twelve people who successfully stayed in the museum. Now more than ten years have passed, and in a large number of the same year, he is indeed famous and has excellent conduct. Almost no one can find any problems. But among the same batch of Shujishi, there are some more favored by the emperor than him. That is Chen Jingbang and He Luowen, who were ranked second at the time. When they first stayed in the museum, they were one level higher than Xu Guo who was the judge. Chen Jingbang returned home a year ago because of his worries, but He Luowen was a Japanese lecturer. He also participated in the compilation of the scriptures, but he was more popular than Xu Guo.

Therefore, many people privately discussed that the reason why Xu Guo suddenly came out to serve as the Nanjian was because if he did not release it, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy would be more likely to compete for, and it would be hard to say who would fall. As soon as he left, He Luowen was sure to take over the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, because he served as a Japanese lecturer, he was always by the emperor's side every day, and the possibility of entering the cabinet in the future was even greater.

More importantly, He Luowen is Zhang Juzheng's confidant and has a very good personal relationship. Thinking of Xu Guo's daughter-in-law and Wang Fulin's wife, who is highly valued by Zhang Juzheng, seem to be sisters, I don't know how many people secretly feel sorry for Xu Guo. Why didn't they go to Zhang Juzheng's path? In this way, it might not be the Southern Supervisor's priest, but the Northern Supervisor's priest!

However, Xu Guo, the person involved, seemed in a good mood. He dealt with all the congratulations, whether sincere, false or joked. That night, his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy invited him together. When he returned home with a little drunk, he heard the door saying that his son-in-law Cheng Naixuan and Wang Fulin were here together, and they all brought his wife at home. Now the three sisters and sisters-in-law were with his wife in the room, while Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan were in his study. He thought about it, but he did not change his clothes and went straight to the study.

Before he reached the entrance of the study, he saw Cheng Naixuan's closest confidant Mo Xiang beside the door, and he heard Cheng Naixuan's voice coming from inside: "This time my father-in-law successfully took the fifth to fourth grade, and led the Southern Supervisor to priest wine. Some people said that it was equivalent to sending out of the fourth grade to Beijing, which was equivalent to getting a seat for He Luowen. But they didn't think about it. As long as my father-in-law's priest wine would not have a big problem, he would transition to the Minister of Taichang Temple or Honglu Temple in Nanjing, and then transfer back to the Zhanshi Mansion to wait for the Minister of Rites to be vacant. This is the standard way for the ministers of the cabinet. How could he really lose to He Luowen? After all, isn't the difference in rankings at the beginning?"

Having said that, Cheng Naixuan quickly showed some frustration: "The second and third grades are really different? Two years ago, his father-in-law and He Luowen took the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination together. At that time, his father-in-law was the deputy chief examiner, and He Luowen was the main examiner. If he wanted to talk about classics and history articles, how could He Luowen compare with his father-in-law? If his father-in-law ordered the priest wine of the North Supervisory Commission, that would be great, and he could take care of Xiao Wu and Xiao Chen."

"It's just a student in the prison. I'm not afraid of them being bullied. What are you worried about? As a native of Nanzhili, Xu Xueshi can preside over Nanjian. No one complains about such an appointment. No one thinks he will be injustice at all. Don't you think he is the biggest compliment to Xu Xueshi?"

Even though Xu Guo has always been an extremely restrained person, he couldn't help but feel loud when he heard Wang Fulin's words. When he pushed the door in, he smiled and said, "This is not what a gentleman does when he talks about people behind his back."

Cheng Naixuan quickly stood up with Wang Fulin and called his father-in-law respectfully. Wang Fulin continued to call him Xu Xueshi as usual. When Xu Guo took his seat, Cheng Naixuan, the son-in-law, went out and called the book boy to make tea again. He personally brought it to his father-in-law, and then said flatteringly: "I just dared to say this at home, but I dared not mention it in the Liukelang."

"It's not a good thing for you and Shiqing to go to Nanjian. You have no elders and relatives in the capital, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future when things happen. For me, it's a good thing to avoid the whirlpool of the court for the time being." Xu Guo said, looking at Wang Fulin, and seeing that he nodded in agreement, he continued, "What's more, the Southeast Shilin has always been the backbone of the Shilin in the world. Even if the Nanjian has long been rotten to the roots, as long as you turn a little bit and pick out a few more seedlings to support one or two, you can get a lot of praise."

Cheng Naixuan had always been as honest as before his father, and nodded quickly at this time. Thinking of the situation mentioned by Feng Bao when he came to see him in person, he had never dared to ask his father for confirmation. But now that Xu Guo was going south and Yangzhou was a must-pass place, he would have to ask Xu Guo to bring him a letter to his father. Of course, Xu Guo agreed to such a small matter.

After a relatively relaxed gossip, Xu Guo took another sip of tea, and then said again: "Brother Nanming told me that he had returned to his hometown. I went to Nanjian, and there was only Yin Shiting left in the court. He is a utilitarian and often has to choose someone from an official position when interacting with others. Shiqing, you can understand it by looking at your uncle's attitude before and after he went there. Although you are trusted in front of Yuan Fu, he is a book and you are a censor. The difference is too far. Unlike the past, your uncle, the Minister of War, who was in the middle of contact. Except for the festivals, you have no contact. I am not right?"

Wang Fulin couldn't help but smile: "Sir Xu is as wise as a torch. Yinbutang is indeed a little snobbish."

"Yuan Fu originally planned to let Zhang Xueyan take over the Ministry of War, but Fang Fengshi was as famous as Wang Chonggu at the time. If he had no mistakes, he would have caused greater controversy. The Ministry of Justice had just changed from Wu Baipeng to Yan Qing. This position could have been kept for Zhang Xueyan, but Zhang Xueyan would rather manage Rongzheng than go to the Ministry of Justice to transition. You can imagine his spirit. Yin Shiting did not make much achievements in the Ministry of Revenue. He had previously ignored the emperor because he advised the emperor to purchase jewelry, but he received the praise of the old Empress Cisheng through Yuanfu."

Although Wang Fulin was in the Censorate and realized that he was already a very well-informed person, Yin Zhengmao actually received praise from Empress Dowager Cisheng. This was the first time he heard about it. Cheng Naixuan, a person in the Sixth Corridor, heard this news for the first time and couldn't help but open his mouth and exclaimed: "Father-in-law, where did you come from? Shuangmu and I were called Kedao together, and we had never heard of this storm."

Moreover, Xu Guo has never been a gossiper!

Wang Fulin knew that Xu Guo had been in the Hanlin Academy for thirteen years. In addition to being good at writing, learning and good reputation, he must have accumulated amazing connections and news channels. Among them, Xu Guo could not entrust his connections to Cheng Naixuan. This was not to help others but to harm others. The news channels could not be completely handed over to Cheng Naixuan because it was easy to be exposed. However, it was necessary to point it out before leaving.

"The Empress Dowager rewards the ministers. If this kind of thing is spread, what would it look like? Yin Shiting gave Yuanfu a blanket of goose-flour to Yuanfu. Yuanfu borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and presented it to the old Empress Cisheng, but he clearly stated that it was offered by Yin Shiting. Compared with silk cotton or cotton skin mattresses, the goose-flour seat mattress was light and warm, so when it was used at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the old Empress Cisheng praised it endlessly. Of course, he only mentioned the sign of the Cining Palace management around him." Speaking of this, Xu Guo's face showed a little ridiculous, "Li Youzi is well-informed. After hearing this, he also gave Yuanfu precious fabrics. He hoped that Yuanfu would also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but he miscalculated it."

Seeing Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan looking at each other, Xu Guocai looked at Wang Fulin and asked, "The Minister of Works Li Youzi and Yin Shiting have been fighting secretly for a long time. Don't you know? Before, Zhan Yi and others impeached Yin Shiting, he was instructed."

"I heard of a little bit of wind." Wang Fulin thought that Yin Zhengmao had even given gifts to You Qi, and it would be even less burden to give gifts to Zhang Juzheng. However, Li Youzi didn't expect that seeing Yin Zhengmao's behavior, he was actually imitating him. He was a little amused. He soon realized that Xu Guo mentioned this matter, probably not to show off his good news, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Could Mr. Xu think that Yinbutang's position is not very stable?"

"The second one of the three She Party was left, and only Yin Shiting was left. His seat was not so reliable. You and Jinhua should remember that how many times have Yin Shiting been resigning in the past six months?"

"Third or four times, but whether it is a teacher or a book, he has always been resigned if he is impeached. This is also very common." Cheng Naixuan saw that he used retreat to advance and did not take it seriously at all in the past. But Wang Fulin said this and his father-in-law made such a clear statement. He couldn't help feeling a little tooth pain, "But if Yinbutang also went to the position, wouldn't our She County be a bit miserable? Zhang Siwei was still in the position at all."

"No, Zhang Siwei had to bear the pain of selling Wang Chonggu before. He suffered another heavy blow this time. The Puzhou Party has already plummeted. In contrast, except for his uncle who was sick, Yinbutang and Xu Xueshi were still in the position. Xu Xueshi was just out this time, not derogatory. If Yinbutang is still there, he is quite respected by Yuanfu, and our two cadets will be better than Zhang Siwei. If Yinbutang really retreats, the number of people in Shexian will no longer be conspicuous."

When Wang Fulin said this, he thought that he could not meet Yin Zhengmao because of this, otherwise he would definitely think that he was willing to cheat his fellow villagers and seniors in order to fulfill his life! This is different from the last time he went to see him because of You Qi. Yin Zhengmao's request for withdrawal was obviously just a gesture, and it was definitely not sincere. Moreover, it was rewarded by Empress Dowager Ci Sheng Li, so how could he give way?

But more importantly, he completely understood why Xu Guo was transferred to Nanjing and felt happy. In this way, the little bit of the momentum of the She Party had disappeared!

And Zhang Siwei was highlighted again!

Seeing that Wang Fulin understood, Xu Guo stopped this topic wisely. After saying a moment, he saw that Wang Fulin had taken the lead in a very sensible way, and called Xiaobei, who was in the inner house, and went home together, he said to Cheng Naixuan, who was a little surprised: "Jinhua, you were in the forefront before. To be fair, I was very worried, but you have known that you have hidden your weaknesses this year. Even if you help Wang Shiqing, you have not shown your sharpness and aggressiveness everywhere like him. I feel a little relieved. Like Wang Shiqing, you are afraid that you will not be able to easily leave the Sixth Corridor. Remember as a censor, although you must not speak, you cannot set off firecrackers at any time."

"father in law"

"Listen to me, you and Wang Shiqing are good friends, but the saying goes, although you must not do anything, you must never learn from him. He regards you as a friend, but never lets you charge in battle. This is the real consideration for you. You just lie in the Sixth Corridor, don't feel wronged. You must know that the young phoenix does not roar, not because you can't, but because you don't want to, and just wait for a shocking future. Only when people look down on you can you listen more and get more opportunities."

Thinking that Feng Bao was instigating himself to arouse his competitive spirit and compete with Wang Fulin, so as to join Feng Bao's command to fight for the future, Cheng Naixuan felt that his father-in-law's words were absolutely right. If he and Wang Fulin showed their strength and were invincible, would Feng Bao feel at ease to come to him? Only then did he and Wang Fulin both penetrated into the two top figures under today. It can be said that he did a good job of confusing people.

"I remember all the teachings of my father-in-law."

After Wang Fulin returned home, he told Xiaobei what Xu Guo said without reservation, but turned around but did not mention Yin Zhengmao's incident. Instead, he solemnly raised another thing. Since Wang Erniang and his wife arrived in the capital, even though Wu Yingjie was going to the Imperial College, the family still had some insufficient staff, so he bought a few more maids and maids to come in. Although the family wanted to add people since the renovation of the house, Xiaobei knew that Wang Fulin mentioned this at this time, and when she agreed, she couldn't help but hugging Wang Fulin's arm.

From now on, it will be not so safe to speak at home!

"Don't be so pessimistic. Infiltration and anti-infiltration. Instigate and counter-insurance. Virtuous wife, you have obtained the true teachings of the two surnames of the Hu family and Ye family. Are you afraid that you can't deal with this?" Wang Fulin said, then kissed his wife's cheek and whispered, "Leave this to you. I will find a way to see what happened between Yin Zhengmao and Li Youzi these days."

"But if Yin Shu really retires and returns to his hometown, you will have no high-ranking fellow villagers in the court to rely on. You have a grudge with Chen Sanmo, and others don't have much contact with you."

"You are wrong. Isn't there Yuan Fu? Besides, just like the emperor likes to use lonely ministers, I don't need to be very popular with Yuan Fu. Since I have already made friends with Wang Shaofang, if everyone else says I am good, it will seem too eye-catching and fake. Everyone knows that my Wang Fulin's personality has always been a firecracker that can be fired at a fire!"

"How could I say that myself?" Xiaobei, who was in a heavy mood, couldn't help laughing, touched Wang Fulin's chin with a little beard and stubble, and then said softly, "But, Xiaoyun and her brother-in-law have just entered Beijing. You should control it, don't make too much trouble and scare them."
