Chapter 884 One person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven

When several Zhongshu Sheren saw Wang Fulin walking into the direct room of the chief minister behind Zhang Juzheng, they couldn't help but exchanged glances with each other, and then started whispering.

Today's court discussion came suddenly, and the participants were limited to a very small range. There were two ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, one was the left censor and the other was the deputy governor of the Jinyiwei. Wang Fulin, a small censor in charge of the Taoist censor, was particularly eye-catching. The court discussion was clearly over now, but Zhang Juzheng actually brought Wang Fulin back to the straight room. Obviously, there were private words to say, what kind of treatment was this?

But Wang Fulin would rather not have such special treatment at this moment. Because Zhang Juzheng immediately broke out after entering the straight room with a stern face.

"Don't want to? You have been back in Kyoto for more than a year. Why do I hear the most common words you say is that you are unwilling? You don't want to be the censor, you don't want to be the chief minister, you don't want to go to the Ministry of Personnel's Wenxuan Department. Now it's better, you don't want to go to Liaodong!" Although his voice was not high, Zhang Juzheng was angry on his face. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. He found that it was cold herbal tea. He became even more angry, "You are petting and making you look sweet!"

Master Chief, I am not a concubine, so where did I become so charming with my favor...

Wang Fulin sighed in his heart, but said, "Yuanfu, I only know that I went to Liaodong. On the one hand, there were some causes and conditions for the Li family father and son, on the other hand, Shen Yourong, who was transferred to Liaodong by Li Dashui, on the other hand, Cheng Naixuan, who followed Guangmao to Liaodong, was all acquaintances or known people in all aspects. Even if they were not biased, they became biased."

Others were afraid that Zhang Juzheng would get angry, but Wang Fulin was not worried. At this moment, his tone was stable and his expression was sincere. After pausing for a moment, he continued: "And, what I said just now, I think there will always be someone who will spread to Liaodong. As long as Li Dashui knows my attitude, An Jiuyu can learn from Guangmao's previous lessons. The more imperial envoys go, the bigger the matter will be, and it will be contrary to Yuanfu's original intention. Yuanfu said before that I was quite famous in Liaodong, but in fact, this statement passed. It should be said that as long as I pass Shanhaiguan, Liaodong will be vigilant, and prevent fire, theft and Wang Fulin."

Seeing that the heat was almost done, he smiled and said half-truely: "Who doesn't know where Wang Fulin goes, and he will cause something to happen if he has nothing to do?"

"Cough... Cough cough!" Although it was the cold tea, Zhang Juzheng still took two sips to moisten his throat. As a result, Wang Fulin's last words were choked and coughed repeatedly, and his anger dropped by more than half.

The person guarding outside was Zhang Juzheng's closest confidant, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. He almost burst out laughing when he heard this. Then he quickly returned to his serious expression, but he really admired the one in his heart.

The one in it said was the chief minister of the dynasty, but before the authority of the little emperor was established, it was an invisible agent of the imperial power. If it were those ministers, who dared to joke like this?

"You mean, if you go to Liaodong, there will be a negative effect?" Zhang Juzheng finally asked again with a stern face. Seeing Wang Fulin nodding, he fell into deep thought.

At this time, Wang Fulin said again: "If Yuan Fu felt that Guangmaocheng Naixuan and the three An Jiudi people were not enough to fully understand the truth, it would be better to instruct Li Damao Li to send his eldest son Li Rusong to Beijing to confess his love at the end of the year. Li Rusong is not only the eldest son of the Li family, but also a young general who is already a warrior on the battlefield. You might as well listen to what he said. Just so, Li Damao Li cannot leave Liaodong at will to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. Li Rusong is reporting his duties on behalf of his father. Of course, the case should have been decided by the end of the year, and this is just an extra grace to the Li family."

Kedao's investigation results, coupled with the young but powerful Li Rusong, Zhang Juzheng thought about such a solution, and finally said in a deep voice: "Well, outside the nine domains of the inspector An, the Liaodong Fugong will be ordered to jointly investigate."

Although Wang Fulin believed that the governor of Liaodong and the various Taoist platforms were mostly directed at Li Chengliang, he did not oppose this proposal. Because under the background of the investigation of the Kedao, the excessive "unity and unity" situation of Liaodong civil and military officials should have made Zhang Juzheng see clearly. To be honest, when a decayed Liaodong could be reversed to what it is today, Li Chengliang did make great contributions and lead troops to raise generals. With great military achievements, it is normal to raise enemies and use them to protect themselves. Using the heads of surrendered people or even slaves to make military achievements is just like learning from their predecessors, but everything must be limited!

Since the purpose was finally settled, Zhang Juzheng did not keep Wang Fulin anymore. But when he saw that he was about to walk to the door after he took his leave, he spoke, "Wait, there is one more thing."

Seeing Wang Fulin, he immediately turned around and walked quickly to the front. He dipped in tea and dripped a few words on the table: "Is it feasible for Guo Bao to serve Liu Baichuan?"

Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Juzheng must be still worried about the matter of the Jinyiwei surveillance at his family. Now that he suddenly mentioned this festival, it was definitely not a temporary idea. Although he also hoped that Guo Bao would take down the position of Qianhu, even if Guo Bao made contributions this time, it would be only a small contribution. The greater contribution was Liu Shouyou who had pried out the facts from Su Ning's mouth and Liu Baichuan, the chief of Qianhu. So, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, then followed a few drops of water on the table, and then dipped it in water and wrote four simple words: "The second Liu Yougong."

It was the second Liu, instead of mentioning Liu Baichuan alone, Zhang Juzheng was silent. He picked up a piece of paper casually, kneaded it into a ball and wiped the water stains on the table clean. Then he sighed and said, "Okay, you go."

Wang Fulin was not worried that Zhang Juzheng would act rashly. Although he was an unprecedented strong and willful chief assistant, he was not just strong to the end. Of course, there was no shortage of strategy. Otherwise, Zhang Juzheng could just take Liu Shouyou away, but he still cared about the little Liu Baichuan? He was just a timid and wanted to find out the person behind Liu Shouyou. Therefore, he bowed and left quietly. He saw that everyone coming and going were secretly looking at him. He didn't care and walked quickly to the Huijimen. But when he passed by the eunuch Guanmen, he suddenly heard a sharp and attentive voice coming from inside.

"Oh, it's Wang Zhangdao!" With this voice, a middle-aged eunuch ran out, but said with a smile, "If there is any copy of Wang Zhangdao in the future, I will send it up and I will keep it first and hand it over to you."

How did this happen? Wang Fulin only felt that his head was full of dark lines. The things like memorials that go straight to the sky are expensive, not to mention that he no longer became famous by this way. Why is this eunuch so polite? I heard that in the past, officials wanted to hand in the memorials, and sometimes they had to bribe the eunuch in charge. Now he has not paid a penny and does not know this guy at all. But the person has an abnormal attitude. There must be something strange about this matter!

He responded to a few words, but he didn't expect that the eunuch in the sect didn't care about his perfunctory attitude, but instead said more attentively: "In the future, if your colleagues and friends have a memorial, they will send it, and I will never be vague here. Eunuch Feng said that if the Censorate has more censors like you who don't rely on fame and fortune, that would be the blessing of the court."

It turned out that the last sentence was the point. Wang Fulin felt at ease, but thinking that he had always been very low-key in the previous events, and Zhang Hong would never reveal his presence. So why would Feng Bao be jealous of him? I just hope that it would be well known to everyone in the palace. He has been regarded as Zhang Juzheng's accomplice, but he doesn't want to have many eunuchs!

The court controversy in Dongge was only held in a very small range, and Zhang Juzheng specifically ordered Feng Bao to send someone to guard it. Everyone who participated knew that if the news leaked and the scope of suspicion was very small, everyone kept their mouths tight, and at most they would send letters to Liaodong. Because everyone had such a good quality, there was no rumors about Su Ning's true identity. Even so, Wang Fulin still attracted everyone's attention in the Censorate. Not only because of this court controversy, but also because Zhao Mingxian, who was older than him, was willing to be at the bottom of his back, and his superiors got along well, and many people were disappointed.

Many people are eagerly looking forward to an internal fight in Guangdong, especially Qin Yiming, the censor of Huguang Dao, who claims to be a good friend of the matter, to the outside world that Wang Fulin and he are good friends.

In this environment, Wu Yingjie, who was studying in the Imperial College, also instinctively noticed that the surrounding students' attitudes towards him were obviously polarized. Some people stayed away from him, except for going around in class; others tried their best to curry favor with him, and his casual words could attract praise from the clique.

Not to mention him, even Chen Bingchang, who was donating to school, was very distressed, because he was once Wang Fulin's secretary. This time, Wang Fulin paid 260 taels of silver to help him get the donating to school. The two doctors of the Imperial College were kept secret for him, but they were exposed by the officials who loved to talk the most. Most of the schools he was in were donating to school, so many donating students who were not in prison in the past came to attend classes even though they were all the next few days, and all the seats next to him became popular.

The six halls of the Imperial College are three halls in the east and west. Most of the people who donated the prison are in the West Three Halls of Justice, Chongzhi and Guangye. At the beginning of the country, the West Three Halls were used to accommodate students who read the Four Books but did not learn the Five Classics. It took one and a half years to be promoted to the Taoist temple or the Chengxin Hall of the East Three Halls, and then one and a half years to be promoted to the highest Ruxing Hall. Then the points are assessed, and finally they can graduate and get the origin of the Supervisor. Now, the West Three Halls have become a private place for donating students, and they usually donate a ghost. The so-called study period of at least three years is just a name, and the donated prison even assumes that the origin of the Supervisor is a student who pays the money.

But now even juren still need to operate to become officials, let alone supervising students?

Because of this, except for the family who has money, donating to prison is just to seek a rich family with a good background, and the officials and sons who follow their fathers and elders who are officials in the capital and don’t worry about their future, most of the others are just ordinary people who are frivolous in the future. They are not just to curry favor with Chen Bingchang’s prison students, but to ask for an errand.

Nowadays, the tribute supervisors and the supervisors can also choose the prefectures and county chiefs based on luck; the elders and Yinsheng can also choose the chief officials of the department, court, security, department, and temple because they want to stay in Beijing as senior officials; the supervisors who can donate to be the chief officials of the prefectures and county chiefs or the chief officials of the prefectures and county chiefs are thankful.

If you want to stay in Beijing, then Shanglinyuan of Guanglu Temple welcomes you. If you are willing to leave the countryside, the experiences of the garrisons such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and other garrisons, the teaching of the garrisons of the imperial courts, or the professors of the royal palace, are only these miscellaneous positions left.

Compared with those extremely poor ways out, more donations to the prison students hope to take a roundabout way. For example, when the inspector went to the local area, he could bring the prison students as a entourage. Wang Fulin, who was assigned directly from his hometown in Nanzhili, was a special situation and such an entourage could even receive meager subsidies from the court. Although it may be difficult to eat or spend money alone, they valued this opportunity more. Who doesn't know that the censor is a close minister of the emperor? If he really gained the attention of the people, he might be recommended to go to a good place to be an official.

In today's era, it's so difficult to donate a prison student and become an official!

At this moment, Chen Bingchang, who had just finished the exam after the promotion, was surrounded by three or five people. He was a very handsome man, but he was surrounded by people like this every day. How could he get used to it? He didn't want to talk to so many people at this time. He actually secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless him to succeed in getting promoted and entering the East Three Halls so that he could get rid of these people. When he saw Wu Yingjie, he saw that the other party was not surrounded by students like him, and there was only a strange middle-aged man standing. He looked envious and quickly walked a few steps to meet him.

"Brother Wu."

Several students who were not young but stared at Chen Bingchang and said to Chen Brother Chen as soon as they heard this title, they knew that the opposite was Wang Fulin's brother-in-law, and they looked at each other. Compared to Chen Bingchang, they certainly hoped to climb up the big tree of Wu Yingjie, but Wu Yingjie was Wang Fulin's brother-in-law, and it would be difficult to deal with if they annoyed that person. At this time, the person around Wu Yingjie did not dare to offend him. For a moment, the few people looked at each other and soon dispersed without fighting.

Seeing that all the people around Chen Bingchang were dispersed, Wu Yingjie smiled and pulled Chen Bingchang over, pointing to the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Brother Chen, this is Zhou Zhai Chang of the Luxingtang."

Luxing Hall was the first hall of the Imperial College, and the chief of Zhai was in later generations, which means the squad leader. If he was placed in the early Ming Dynasty, such a person who could be appointed as the governor and inspector, Chen Bingchang immediately felt respectful. His respectful attitude obviously made Zhou Zhai in Wu Yingjie very satisfied. After a few greetings, he said, "Now the promotion is not as good as before. It doesn't take years. As long as you pass the promotion exam, the supervisor will not have to study for four years. Wu Xiandi also participated in the promotion exam to enter Luxing Hall this time. If Chen Xiandidididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididididi

Chen Bingchang smiled honestly, but Wu Yingjie hurriedly said: "Senior Zhou, if you want to study, Chen and his brother went from Huguang to Guangzhou Lianxi Academy to study at a young age. He was much more determined than my desire to learn. He also followed Mr. Xu of Hanlin Academy, but now he has studied for a while at the Nanjian University. It is not something I can compare with."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhai Chang couldn't help but look at Chen Bingchang with admiration, and immediately became even more enthusiastic: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to enter the Reshen Hall together! If you can squeeze into the quota for the Shuntian Prefecture provincial examination next year, and you will be back from taking the exam for a juren, it will be a waste of you to go to prison!"

As he was saying these words of encouragement, someone called out: "Zhou Zhai, the Minister of the King of Rites is here, and I will ask you to see you!"
