Wang Fulin deliberately mentioned Qian Pu, the prefect of Zhending, just to see if Zhu Yijun responded to this. However, even he did not expect that this young emperor who received the imperial education since childhood would be so uneasy. He just started to do so. Zhu Yijun just took the hook so gently and asked a question that a mature emperor should never ask.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun had not fully realized it, but the eunuchs standing beside him immediately changed their expressions. Although they were in front of the imperial court, which should have been absolutely quiet, there was still someone coughing uncontrollably. In this suddenly quiet room, such a sound suddenly sounded, which was naturally extremely harsh. However, Zhu Yijun had just lowered his face and wanted to scold him, but in a flash, the young emperor closed his mouth, but his eyes flashed with annoyance and anger. His right hand, which was originally placed firmly on the handrail, unknowingly clenched into his fist.

Obviously, Zhu Yijun had already noticed it and asked a stupid thing.

"The emperor said it well, it's that Qian Pu." Wang Fulin was the first to speak to break the silence, as if nothing had happened. "I have heard the rumors outside that he gave Yuan Fu the sedan chair. It is said that the living bedrooms in the sedan hall were separated, and it took thirty-two people to lift it up. In addition to Yuan Fu, the inner room can also accommodate two children and two children."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the room became even more strange. Zhu Yijun regretted being too anxious before, and actually leaked that he had heard such a rumor from the eunuch below, but in a flash, Wang Fulin actually broke the window paper by himself. In the initial surprise, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was a little mixed.

I felt that Wang Fulin could continue his words, but as Zhang Juzheng's confidant, he was not a venerable person at all. This was obviously on his side, but at the same time he was worried that if Wang Fulin took what he had said and told Zhang Juzheng, would Zhang Juzheng join forces with Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li to scold him again?

After Wang Fulin said this rumor that was heard, he immediately changed his tone and said, "I have always been an extremely straightforward person. Since I have arrived at Zhending Mansion and have met the prefect Qian Pu, I asked Lord Qian directly about the issue of sedan chair."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yijun on the imperial throne widened his eyes, and even Zhang Ning, who was acting as a gossip next to him, was stunned. Several eunuchs exchanged glances with each other, and had an idea in their minds.

Could it be that Wang Fulin intends to embarrass Qian Pu or Zhang Juzhengwen?

"Magistrate Qian said readily that when the Prime Minister went south to bury his father, he did send a sedan chair and prepared a sedan chair servant." Wang Fulin saw Zhu Yijun's eyes sharpened suddenly. After pausing, he continued, "But he shouted injustice about the regulations of sedan chairs. He said that the sedan chair he offered was indeed very large, with a screen and a soft couch in the middle, and a small number on the soft couch for the Prime Minister to handle official duties and rest, and a small child could also be accommodated. Moreover, he firmly claimed that the sedan chair only used eight sedan chairmen, and there were absolutely no thirty-two."

"At that time, I thought he was covering up, and after asking, he became anxious, so he started to argue with me. First of all, he said that it was extremely difficult to find eight sedan chairmen in one shift, two sedan chairmen who could cooperate with each other, and they were able to travel in two shifts. Just like the imperial carriage in the palace, as long as there were more sedan chairmen, they had to train carefully, otherwise the sedan chair would not be able to be lifted up, and they would inevitably stumble and hit walls everywhere. Where did he go to find someone who carried the sixteen sedan chairs?"

"The bigger and more complex the sedan, the heavier the weight will naturally be. On March 13, Yuanfu set out from the capital and arrived in Jiangling on the fourth day of the April 4th. It took only 20 days to convert the journey to the daily journey, which often takes more than 20 miles. Even if he rides a horse, he still has to be distracted, let alone the sedan chair carrying a sedan? Not to mention the two shifts, ten shifts can rotate faster than riding a horse? Therefore, Master Qian said that the sedan chair starts from Zhending Prefecture and goes to Handan on the border of North Zhili and Henan, and passes through the three prefectures of Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, and Guangping Prefecture."

If Zhu Yijun has some concepts about classics, history and articles, he has also read the Ming Dynasty map, but the Wanli Emperor who has never left the palace for a real distance has no idea at all.

After hearing Wang Fulin's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "If you are sitting in a sedan chair, you can't walk more than 200 miles a day?"

This time, Zhang Ning finally realized the key, so he said carefully: "Emperor, the post station transmits emergency military information, which is divided into two levels, 400 miles and 600 miles. Among them, the latter needs to walk at night, and change horses but not people, so that the horsepower can be maximized. If the court officials need to hurry on the road, it is often difficult to achieve the speed of the post station transmitting military information. It is already the limit to 240 miles a day."

Although Zhu Yijun heard that Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair was like the arrogant and luxurious carriage of the imperial carriage, the four hundred miles of sedan and six hundred miles of sedan are two ways of post-transmission of the post. The speed of riding a horse is faster than that of the sedan. He still has this common sense. Thinking that riding a horse can constantly change horses through the post station, the swaying speed of the sedan chair is indeed impossible to be faster. His brows stretched a little, but Wang Fulin continued: "However, from the perspective of the system, Lord Qian's sedan chair is indeed somewhat surpassing the system. After all, the previous rule was that ministers could only sit in the sedan chair at the fourth rank and above, and they could not be carried by more than four people, and the honorary generals of Qi and Qi were not allowed to sit in the sedan chair."

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs standing in the room immediately slammed.

Who else really follows the rules of the past these days? There are all senior officials in the capital who are carrying eight people, let alone outside? As for the fact that the great generals cannot sit in sedan chairs, it is simply empty talk. Those nobles who are pampered and may not be able to hold swords and swords, who are not old and are just sitting in sedan chairs and swaying around in sedan chairs?

If the emperor really heard Wang Fulin and continued to investigate, Wang Fulin might be hated because of this, but this kid is too lice and not afraid of itch. In the end, Empress Dowager Li or Feng Bao began to investigate where the rumors of Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair started. Wouldn't they be unlucky?

So, an eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Zhangdao said is very much, but at that time, officials above the fourth rank could only sit in a sedan chair, and they could not exceed eight people. This was the rule during the Hongzhi period."

When he opened his mouth, the other person also quickly interrupted: "Mr. Zhang is the prime minister of the dynasty after all, and there are urgent matters in the cabinet on the way. He can also handle official duties while sitting in a sedan chair. Although the matter of the Zhending Prefect Qian Pu is a bit bad, it is good to use it."

When the third person wanted to interrupt, he heard a bang. Seeing the little emperor punching the handrail, he was stunned. How could he say a word? What made him even more frightened was that it seemed that it was not enough to hit the handrail. Zhu Yijun actually smashed a cup next to him. With the bang, the eunuchs serving no longer dared to be lucky. They all knelt down, and the movements were definitely uniform.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ning couldn't help but hesitate, but when he saw Wang Fulin shaking his head very concealedly, thinking of the courage of the young censor just now, he finally gritted his teeth and resisted the kneeling and apologizing, standing there with his eyes and nose, his heart was really worried.

Although the emperor didn't seem to be coming for him and Wang Fulin, the emperor was already angry like this. Is it really good for them to stand up straight like this?

Wang Fulin really didn't want to be a kowtow worm if he had nothing to do, not to mention that Zhu Yijun's anger was indeed not for them. Moreover, he could even further conclude that these eunuchs who were personally led into the Ganqing Palace by the little emperor, who had become the eunuchs who had become close servants first. They must have been eager for quick success and instant benefits before, so they observed their expressions and thought that the little emperor should have planned to gradually take back the imperial power, so they deliberately took Zhang Juzheng's arrogant and extravagant things. But you just said that when facing certain pressure at the critical moment, they immediately began to clear them. How could Zhu Yijun feel?

After all, Zhang Hong is really scheming. Once the little emperor realizes that he may not be reliable in choosing someone himself, what will his attitude be like next?

"Get out!"

Wang Fulin was not moved at all after hearing these three words without any reference. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were famous for their "strong character". After all, they were not those servants of the Qing Dynasty. He would never think that Zhu Yijun would really come to him. After all, if the ministers who did not see the emperor were treated "get out" because of a disagreement, they would not be in an uproar outside?

The most important thing is that he knew that he had definitely just started, and the ones who made the emperor angry were those eunuchs who were ignorant of the world!

Sure enough, there was almost no hesitation, and the eunuchs were in a hurry, but they didn't even dare to beg for mercy and explain. They all bowed their bodies and retreated towards the emperor. In a moment, Wang Fulin saw with great satisfaction that only Zhu Yijun, Zhang Ning, and himself were left in the East Warehouse. Seeing Zhang Ning's face was obviously very nervous. He took advantage of Zhu Yijun's inattention and threw a look over and asked Zhang Ning to rest assured, but he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please don't want to be angry. I have just told the truth before. If you have any inappropriate words, please forgive me."

He drove those guys who were usually very talkative, but at the critical moment, he rushed out one by one. Zhu Yijun's mood was only a little better. Seeing Wang Fulin's neither humble nor arrogant look on his face, Zhang Ning bowed and looked at him. He felt that he was much more pleasing than those kowtowers, and waved his hand very generously.

"It's not your fault, all of you should get up. Those guys are all gossiping. Now that they find something wrong, they immediately change their words. They are simply disgusting. Damn it!" After cursing again, Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Fulin and asked in a deep voice, "What Zhang Ning said just now, all prefectures, including Zhending, welcome Mrs. Zhang, do you have anything to add?"

Since Wang Fulin was not sure whether Liu Shouyou, the Jinyiwei, had already defected to the emperor, he chose to tell the truth, casually added a few things that Zhang Ning did not mention, and then turned the topic to a very familiar section.

"Your Madam, when he arrived at Zhending, he heard the three major officials of Jinan. He once wanted to go to Longxing Temple in Zhending Prefecture to worship the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Guanyin statue. However, considering that it might be too alarming, and Eunuch Wei had already worked hard and had a tight schedule, he finally gave up. In the future, the Madam Madam was old and was not resistant to socializing, so most of them did not have much contact with the local ministers. Zhang Jingxiu, the eldest son of the Zhang family, came forward. Most of the gifts from the chief officials were local products, and a few also had four treasures of study, but probably because the famous and picky censor, there were not many valuable things."

Speaking of this, Wang Fulin smiled and said, "I will record these gifts one by one. If the emperor wants to see..."

He took out a note from his sleeve and presented it with his hands: "But I'm blunt, I'm just accompanying Mrs. Tai from Zhending to the capital, and I haven't walked too many ways. In the past, Zhending, the local officials welcomed and sent him and gave him gifts. I have to ask the Minister of Li Gong Wei."

Zhu Yijun did not expect that Wang Fulin not only said it, but also fell on paper. He knew that his words were unreliable and he immediately raised his eyebrows and felt a little more inexplicable favor. After all, such things as words are the easiest to happen. Zhang Ning was secretly smacking his tongue in his heart that Wang Fulin was really bold. He actually handed Zhang Juzheng's "black materials" in front of him in the Qianqing Palace, which was absolutely unconfident. At the same time, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am not as good as Wang Zhangdao, and I have not prepared this way. I will definitely have a detailed report when I look back."

If Wang Fulin had prepared such a note in advance, Zhang Ning had also prepared it, Zhu Yijun might have hesitated and doubted it a little, but seeing Zhang Ning's obviously caught off guard, Zhu Yijun's balance that had long been biased suddenly became a little more biased. When he took the note from Wang Fulin and looked around, he found that such delicacies as black fungus were clearly remembered, and the inkstone even showed the shape and size. He couldn't help but look up at Wang Fulin strangely.

"Can you beside you when the Zhang family receives the gift?"

"Report to the emperor, the Zhang brothers have never been involved in foreign affairs, so I accompanied Zhang Jingxiu to see the gift list, and I copied the gift list."

So, with you as the door god, will others dare to give gifts casually?

Zhang Ning was furious in his heart. Seeing that Zhu Yijun was indeed a little stunned, but after all, he closed the thing and nodded. He realized that the level in front of the emperor had almost passed.

As for how to explain it next when he was in Feng Bao and Wang Fulin in front of Zhang Juzheng, because the emperor may have to fight again in the Qianqing Palace, which is not that difficult.

After leaving the palace from Donghua Gate, Zhang Ning and Wang Fulin parted ways and went north to the Silijian in Huangwa East Gate. He sat down and waited for Feng Bao to receive him. About a quarter of an hour later, he saw a small eunuch flying rushing into the Silijian General Office, which attracted a lot of whispers outside. After the people came out, several writing and dictionary books surrounded him. However, the little eunuch did not keep it secret and talked to everyone. After all, he could already participate in the complimentary ceremony of the popular news and did not step forward, but he still vaguely heard a few words coming from there.

"The emperor...the emperor...they drove four people in one breath..."

At this moment, Zhang Ning felt both admiration and amazement in his heart. Wang Fulin's statement that nine true and one false is really effective!
