Chapter 816 One road goes to the dark

In the dim study, an old man sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, his thin and haggard face, and his eyes also lost his former spirit. Even when he heard the sound of pushing the door, he did not look up. He just waited until the footsteps had reached in front of him, and then he laughed: "I thought you would say goodbye and leave when you saw Si Xiu, why did you remember to see me again?"

"I originally planned to walk through the side door quietly while it was already night, but I was a little worried, so I came over and take a look." Wang Fulin said this, but his eyes glanced at the messy house on the other side, which was obviously not being cleaned up for a long time. Then he spoke carefully, "Does Yuan Fu feel that the whole world is enemies at this time?"

"Everyone in the world...everyone in the world! Hahaha, right, these four words are really insightful, I'm in this situation now!"

After laughing, Zhang Juzheng lowered his eyelids and said, "I have been separated for nineteen years. No matter what the reason is for, I should go to the funeral immediately. Ding You are obeying the rules. But you know, even if I took the ten-day sick leave before I received the funeral, what was the situation in the court? Haha, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a demon dancing! Moreover, you also said that someone wrote that I was conspiring to abduct power in the tone of Gao Gong. I was still in the court. If I left, I still don't know how much dirty water would be poured on!"

After hearing this, Wang Fulin disagreed. Although he compiled the messy passage, there were flaws everywhere, in Gao Gong's original manuscript, Zhang Juzheng's behavior of colluding with Feng Bao was clearly detailed. He did not wrongly accuse Zhang Juzheng. This prime minister was really not open and upright...

"In the past, I just wanted to do everything slowly without rushing. I was less than fifty years old and I was the chief minister. Some were time to promote my proposal, and some were time to teach the emperor to become a saint. As for those who did not agree with me, they could leave or go to local governments to govern. As long as I did not criticize impeachment meaninglessly, I still have the tolerance. But now I know that even if I seemed to be close to me in the past, when I encountered problems, I wanted to chase me and get ahead! Wang Xijue... Oh, he is not the first, nor the last!"

"If it were the fact that those parents of the government were robbed of their love in the early days, how could they have the seemingly surging public opinion now? Even the emperor said that the safety of the country in my body is not comparable to that of ordinary Jinge? But in the eyes of those people, filial piety is greater than loyalty and righteousness... The scholar-official Ding You has always been guarding the graves in the first few months, but afterwards, a few of them really built huts and really mourned for this? Isn't it just to visit relatives and friends, or even participate in poetry clubs and literary circles outside? Is this very mourning? How many people are just to show off their reputation for filial piety, but now they are still righteous to criticize me!"

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Juzheng would never say something to Zhang Sixiu, the son; and he and Feng Bao were all ally, and they rarely walked around in order to avoid suspicion, so it was naturally even more impossible to vent their anger like this; and Yin Zhengmao, a senior official like the Minister of the Secretariat, was promoted by Zhang Juzheng himself, refused to show such a posture; as for the other Kedao and other low-ranking officials who were attached to their wings, Zhang Juzheng would never show any whim. Therefore, he came to the door now, just to give the chief assistant a trash can to pour out. So he sat there patiently until Zhang Juzheng finally got tired of scolding.

It was not until this time that he owed his head and said, "Jiang Er and I just repaid the courtesy. Because the incident happened suddenly, I had no choice but to take Wang Jiguang over the wall and ask Yuan Fu to forgive me."

Zhang Juzheng had heard the noise outside before, but it was not until this time that he realized that Wang Fulin had actually climbed over the wall! Even though he had been an official for decades, he had never seen such a court official, so he was so amused and crying at this moment. But the next moment, Wang Fulin said a few words with a smile.

"However, Yuan Fu's study is placed in a remote place in the mansion, with a wall from the outside. It's too negligent. What if it wasn't me who climbed over the wall today? It should be noted that someone had spied at the movements in my house and thought that I killed two gatekeepers with a big stick. Is it because the yard was because of the neighbors? I just told Brother Zhang that I could see the Jinyiwei in the past, but it hasn't been there these days. I don't know if it's because I was afraid that the officials would talk more about right and wrong."

Who is Zhang Juzheng? Wang Fulin learned from it and could not taste it? Although he did not go to the morning court this morning and Zhang Sixiu was also at home to accompany him, his confidants sent the morning court situation. He would never think that Feng Bao sent the factory guards to set up such a formation in front of the Huangji Gate, but only used the court stick to intimidate the civil servants. He could guess that Feng Bao was afraid of turning a deaf ear to his suggestions and really planned to use the court stick! As for why he suddenly changed his mind, it was probably because the little emperor had a problem. And now the Jinyiwei on the left and right of his house were removed, it is conceivable.

Feng Bao is telling himself who can rely on trust!

Wang Fulin knew that he should do what he should do, and also brought the news that he should bring. After hearing such a trash talk from Zhang Juzheng, he should leave. But just as he got up and left, Zhang Juzheng suddenly pointed to the table and said in a deep voice: "This is what I have settled. You can go and take a look at what I plan to do in the next few years."

Wang Fulin opened his mouth wide and was quite surprised when he hesitated and found the key pieces from the messy papers on the table. He glanced at the first one and almost wanted to smash his head. This was the most hated and criticized thing Zhang Juzheng did.

He browsed a series of detailed rules in a few seconds and quickly went to see the others, but found that the second one was to gradually ban private schools in the world. Wang Fulin, who was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, continued to go down, and saw the idea of ​​gradually promoting a whip that had been implemented in several places in the southeast to the whole country. As for the following rules, the rules could no longer arouse his surprise. This person was exploring the bad policies while squeezing the rumors. He was really preparing to go all the way!

Zhang Juzheng didn't pay much attention to what Wang Fulin thought. Until the person returned to his own position, he said without saying a word. He said lightly: "In the past, I cherished my reputation after all. As for now, in the eyes of many people, I am a scum who is greedy for the position and forgets my relatives and ignores human ethics. Then I have nothing to worry about. After the court has stabilized and returned to my hometown to bury, I will gradually implement all these rules and regulations. As for hiring people, hehe, those flies and mosquitoes that buzz all day long, they either do a good job in local prefectures or go back to my hometown to support me!"

It is true that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish...

Wang Fulin experienced it personally and understood Zhang Juzheng's mentality. Zhang Juzheng originally planned to pay attention to his reputation and become a famous prime minister who has been famous for his eternal times while doing things. But since the love-losing has been hyped up to such a height and his reputation has been completely gone, he simply torn his face and gave up, and forcefully or forcibly push what he wanted to do, without caring about any consequences!

He thought about it and said, "Actually, if someone else impeaches this matter in the future, the best way is not to be a court stick or to demote the official position, but to keep the entrusted and throw those generous words behind his head. It is not that I, as a censor, but to discredit the censor. Some things are actually the more I pay attention to them."

Speaking of this, he vaguely felt that Emperor Wanli had not attended court for decades, and did not approve memorials. In addition to being angry, letting all the memorials of the censors stay in the home, and no one knew about their passionate and memorials. Isn’t this a kind of happy revenge? Anyway, even if you have a draft of memorials, there is only a draft without an original, so where can you get famous all over the world?

"Shiqing, although you are young, sometimes you speak to the point of the current situation." Zhang Juzheng let out a sigh of relief and shouted directly, "The old man who has seen through the world is afraid he is not as good as you! Okay, go back, and when I return to the cabinet tomorrow, I will preside over the capital. Now, you should work with the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice to do a good job in the punishment of punishment first."

"Yes, the official has surrendered."

Wang Fulin would not want to leave quickly, otherwise how terrible would it be if Zhang Juzheng reacted and directly made up all the difficult things on the table to let him manage it?

When Zhang Sixiu stayed for a meal, Wang Fulin and Wang Jiguang came out from the side door of the Zhang Mansion together. He took Wang Jiguang, who was riding a mule, to another nearby alley. From a distance, he saw that the five cities' military personnel had already prepared for the night patrol. He was only one step behind him. Obviously, he was worried Wang Jiguang said: "If you want to stay in the Censorate, do your best in the future. When you write a letter, just use your brain. I won't want to occupy the creditor's credit for me. If you don't want to stay in the Censorate and wait until the year-end probation period is over, I can also try to find a seat as a magistrate. Zishan, you can do it yourself. Let's go, I'll take you back."

Wang Jiguang knew that he was cheated by Wang Fulin today, but after hearing this result, he wanted to be cheated by Wang Fulin again. After all, he had been in the Censorate for so many days, so he was not very worried that Wang Fulin was just using it to fool himself. Compared to finally getting the recognition of this difficult-to-fool boss, he even entered the Zhang Mansion of Dashamao Hutong. Although he was overturning the wall, he was too lazy to think about the consequences of his inexplicable fight with Wang Xijue today.

After all the fights, what else can I do?

When Wang Fulin went around a big circle and sent Wang Jiguang back first, and then returned to his home, the moon had already risen high. Two gatekeepers Wang Ji and Wang Xiang were holding horses, while the other followed Wang Fulin with a smile on his face and said, "Young Master is late. Huizhou sent messengers, just after Mr. Chen went out. I just arrived. The young man had heard laughter inside before, and Brother Bao was here too."

Wang Fulin, who was slightly stunned at first, immediately ignored talking to the doorman. After nodding, he entered the second door like a gust of wind. Sure enough, he bumped into Jin Bao who came out. Jin Bao, who had always been a little shy, forgot to salute at this moment. As soon as he stepped forward, he grabbed his arm and said, "Dad, my mother gave birth to a big fat boy, and said it was six pounds!"

Wang Fulin was shocked. You should know that these days are not as good as those in later generations. When the child grows up, it means that his mother suffers. He asked hurriedly: "Where is your mother, is she still safe?"

Jin Bao hadn't seen Wang Fulin's panic before, and suddenly laughed: "Mom is fine. You don't know that she always likes to ride horses, practice martial arts, and cultivates good muscles. She is not like those ladies who refuse to take a step more. She gave birth smoothly, but it was several days later than the previous ones, which scared her family. The messenger encountered another heavy rain on the way to Beijing, which caused a mountain torrent, which was delayed."

Wang Fulin was relieved when he heard this. When Jin Bao learned from his mouth that Xiaobei had a letter, he didn't even bother to go back to his room. He tore it all the way. After entering the house, he didn't even have time to sit down and looked at the thick stack of letters one by one. Although there were letters from home in the past, now it also includes the handwritten letters of his wife who was full of anxiety before giving birth, which naturally made him feel a little more guilty. After all, women are like a child like a woman who is not by her husband these days, why don't he worry about the worst possibility?

When he saw the last one, which was written by his father Wang Daoyun, he asked him to name the child. He remembered that he still owed Jinbao a word, and immediately smiled bitterly. After pondering for a moment, he held back all the people serving in the house, and then looked at Jinbao and said, "Let's not talk about your brother's name. I promised to give you a word, and then let you officially worship him in the name of Xu Xueshi. Now that I want to come, I will ask Xu Xueshi to call him, so I won't interfere. Don't be busy for now, I haven't finished speaking."

Wang Fulin never talked about the situation in the court to Jin Bao, but today he made an exception, starting with his experience after returning to Beijing. A small number of them were heard by Jin Bao from Xu Guo or other channels, but a large part of them were never expected by Jin Bao. Especially when he heard that Wang Fulin and Wang Daokun were fake rebellion, he finally changed his horror and realized the degree of danger.

Wang Daokun actually agreed to let Wang Fulin make such a decision!

"father……"

"I can't get off the boat for a while now. After all, it's hard to get off. If you don't fight Zhang Siwei, the three assistants, I'm afraid I can't live a stable life in the future. So, I will find an opportunity to discuss your affairs with your teacher, Mr. Xu, to see when you will be able to recognize your ancestors. You are already a juren. Even if something happens to me in the future, as long as you are not my son, but a junior of the same clan, your career will not be affected in any way..."

"No! I will never agree!"

Jin Bao didn't seem to see Wang Fulin's froze face suddenly, and he changed into a serious expression: "My uncle is now returning to his hometown to recuperate because he advised the chief assistant Ding You to obey the system. His uncle has also become an official. The Wang family of Songmingshan has retained his vitality. As for me, I have received so much nurturing my father over the years. If I were also divorced from you, what do you think the Chief assistant will think of the Wang family of Songmingshan? What will others think of the Wang family of Songmingshan in the future? It is good not to put eggs in a basket, but don't say that I can't overcome this hurdle, even Master Xu will not agree with you! Father, if you want to go all the way to the dark, someone must be with you, right?"
