When Zhang Jingxiu and his three brothers returned to Zhang Grand Secretary's Mansion in Dashamao Hutong, it was already evening. ●⌒, although Zhang Juzheng was strict in discipline, they still went out occasionally on weekdays, but it was the first time they came back so late. And coincidentally, they met Zhang Juzheng who came back from the palace. When Zhang Juzheng got off from the eighth big sedan chair and saw the three sons standing aside and saluting together, he nodded slightly and said nothing. It was not until the three brothers followed him into the second door that he gave a command without looking back.

"Come to my study."

With this, even though Zhang Maoxiu, who had heard You Qi's message at first, was the most whispered in his heart, he didn't suspect that this trip was really the instructed by his father. When he entered the study, he saw that his father had left the idle people and asked who they had met in the Wang family. The three brothers didn't know that Zhang Juzheng wanted to hear about Chen Maoxue, and they thought that his father also knew that Zhang Taizheng and his brothers were going to cause trouble. So Zhang Jingxiu gave a lecture, Zhang Sixiu and Zhang Maoxiu added, and he explained everything about the past and afterwards in detail. Of course, Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng brought Qin Sanniang to the army to ask for punishment, but in the end they made a mistake. They said the most detailed.

Zhang Juzheng had originally heard that the Wang family had three She County Juren, in addition to the uncle and nephew of the Shen family, came to the Wang family, and they were all talented and had great experience in traveling. However, he had some thoughts in his mind, but when he heard that Zhang Siwei's two sons actually went to make a big fuss, he was forced to take over the big bag by Wang Fulin.

If he quoted Zhang Siwei to the cabinet, he was to show that he did not have the will to take over the power, so he added another person to the cabinet. Secondly, it was because Zhang Siwei was very good at being a human being. Since entering the cabinet, he did not often do things like Lu Diaoyang, but kept following his pace. But these two sons were much inferior, and this hostility towards Wang Fulin may not be just jealousy. Some of the attitudes expressed by his father and elders intentionally or unintentionally may also be the cause.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's face was not very good, Zhang Jingxiu thought his father was annoyed and they got involved. He asked carefully: "Father. After all, what is involved is probably the Jinshi from last year. If it really makes a big deal, it may damage the reputation of the court. If it is inappropriate, it might be better to let the two brothers give up."

"If I give up, I have to rectify the academic and political affairs. The great Jinshi is so despicable, let alone let them end the matter caused by the scholars and juren. If they are really fake and are really the third-class Jinshi from last year, then I am not afraid that the world will know that such a cold, weak and unyielding person is not worthy of standing in the court."

The three brothers Zhang Jingxiu dared to tell Zhang Juzheng about what happened today, but Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng were absolutely afraid. Zhang Taizheng was scolded by his father Zhang Siwei yesterday. Zhang Jiazheng had another such a disaster today and even brought his elder brother together. If they said it, they would dare to protect the big plan of family law. They would not want to go out for several months. Therefore, they could only hope that Wang Fulin and others would keep their promises and keep their affairs completely confidential. Zhang Jingxiu and the others would not tell Zhang Juzheng about what happened today. So, their anger was naturally poured on Qin Sanniang and the unfaithful man.

But Qin Sanniang, a witness, was protected and met with Zhang Jingxiu and the other two. They could not do anything to her. They could only do their best to search for the handwriting of the third-class Jinshi last year for verification. Fortunately, most of the people who were on the palace examination list, even if they were only the third-class Jinshi, left a lot of writing and writing outside, which was really not possible. Relying on their father's old relationship in the Hanlin Academy, they could still find the palace examination texts of these people as comparisons. The only thing that was a bit troublesome was that the comparison work required the veteran of the Ministry of Justice who was proficient in this kind of affairs. At this time, Wang Chonggu, the Minister of Justice, played a role.

The son of Sanfu, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, is to investigate, who can't cooperate, but who can't cooperate.

While they were rushing to investigate, Wang Fulin also received a gift from the palace. His own distribution problem continued to be settled because of the memorials he handed over, but everything he asked for was correct for Chen Yourong and others. This time, each of them awarded a book of the Four Books engraved by the Sili Supervision and Supervision Factory. It is said that they chose the best version and two jars of imperial wine, but each person had an additional steel knife, which made everyone below Chen Yourong overjoyed. Although the knife was not a highly selected product, it was far inferior to the sword that Tan Lun gave to Wang Fulin, but the symbolic meaning was unparalleled.

When I tell you, I will also be the one who carries the imperial treasure sword.

As for Wang Fulin, what surprised him even more was that the person who came to award was none other than Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor in the palace, he knew very little about the eunuch in the palace, but he also heard from Wang Daokun that this was the second-ranked eunuch in the palace, second only to Feng Bao. He was older than Feng Bao, and he was older. He was very decent in front of the two empress dowagers of the palace and was respected by the little emperor. He smiled like Maitreya Buddha. But Wang Fulin dared not take this person lightly and asked someone to reward his entourage. He had to personally politely invite the person to the main hall for a seat.

Zhang Hong, who was nearly sixty years old, looked around like an ordinary old man, and looked around at the place, but finally nodded at Wang Fulin with a smile: "Young Master Wang is young, but he is responsible and courageous. The most important thing is that the emperor lets you enter the Censorate in a golden and elegant manner, and you dare to write a letter to refuse. This is really what makes the emperor remember you."

If possible, I wouldn't want Emperor Wanli, who is a narrow-minded person, to remember to throw it away after using it. This is the emperor who has almost no honorable ministers under his command.

Wang Fulin complained in his heart and quickly defended himself: "I am really ashamed of what Eunuch Zhang said. It is a supreme honor for the emperor to favor me, but I am young and at most I have had a demerit in Liaodong. How can I withstand a sudden promotion? Besides, there are many talented people in the world. I was just a lucky winner. However, after the palace examination, I was constantly in trouble. After arriving in Liaodong, I was even criticized for only knowing how to cause trouble, and even being called a disaster star. If I enter the Censorate and cause trouble, I am afraid that I will be really criticized by thousands of people. I also ask my father-in-law to report to the emperor on his behalf. The king's kindness cannot be rewarded, and I can only understand it."

The gift of such things depends on the amount of things, so there are naturally eunuchs of different levels in the palace who can do this. To put it bluntly, even if Emperor Wanli gave Zhang Juzheng something, there was no need for Zhang Hong, the eunuch who was the chief eunuch who was in charge of the rituals and pens, to take action personally, and he came in person today because he heard Feng Bao say a few "gossip".

Since Feng Bao drove away Gao Gong and drove away Meng Fang and others who were closest to Emperor Longqing. After becoming the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, he ignored the old rules of the second person in the Sili Supervisor, and he still held the Dongchang in his hands. Zhang Hong was not a stubborn person in the world. Even though the Dongchang that should have been in his hands was stolen by Feng Bao, he still had no complaints and always maintained a good personal relationship with Feng Bao. Therefore, Feng Bao often told him about the things that the Dongchang spyed on him.

This time, he heard nothing else. It was the fact that Wang Fulin provoked Zhang Taizheng a few days ago, and then the Zhang brothers joined forces to find the place, but returned in a crushing defeat. The second half was a secret that others didn't know. Feng Bao told others not to reveal it, but he used it to him as a joke. Thinking of Zhu Yijun being instigated by Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng and other nearby servants to watch the fun, and the major event that caused, Zhang Hong pondered about this incident again, and naturally he was a bit cautious about Wang Fulin.

How did Zhang Juzheng plan

Therefore, when he heard Wang Fulin take out the word "Disaster Star" as an excuse, he sipped a sip of tea quietly, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master Wang's tea for guests seems to be from Huizhou."

This old guy has such a great mouth

"It's the tea from Qimen." Wang Fulin owed his body. Then he added, "If my father-in-law is a young man, I'm afraid I will never be able to sit still anymore. My father-in-law, please call me my name."

"Since that's the case, we will ask you directly, what official do you want?"

If it weren't for being urged to go to the imperial examination every day, I wouldn't want to be an official at all. I wouldn't be able to go anywhere in the world and I said that you would give me any official position if you want to be an official

Even though I thought so in my heart, Wang Fulin understood even more that there was no problem with complaining in front of my own people. But I must not tell anyone to outsiders. So, for Zhang Hong's straightforward question, his answer was still slippery: "Reply to my father-in-law, to be honest, I didn't expect to be able to pass the Jinshi last year. After I passed the Jinshi, I was caught up with others because of the ranking problem. I cultivated myself for more than half a year and finally got peace. But after going to Jiliao and returning to the court, I became the target of public criticism. Now I just want to go to a cold yamen that is not popular. Can I afford to offend those guys who are looking for trouble?"

Zhang Hong has been in the palace for forty years. He has been to the Nei Shu Hall and has read countless people. He thinks he has seen many people, but today he is really amazed. In front of him, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, Wang Fulin did not try his best to show his strength, or he was aloof, or made friends with each other desperately, or kept a distance, but he was chatting from beginning to end. Now he even expressed his willingness to go to the Cold Yamen to avoid things. He really couldn't tell whether it was a truth or a lie. He just put down his previous expectations and asked about the situation at Wang Fulin's home as if he was gossiping, and then he opened up the other party's chatter.

Therefore, when Zhang Hong left the Wang family, Zhang Hong, who had learned about the population of Wang Fulin through Feng Bao's Dongchang, found out all the situation of the Wang family. After entering Donghua Gate, he changed to the bench and couldn't help but start to stare blankly. When Wang Fulin finally got close to him, he asked carefully that anyway, he had not decided to go back to Huizhou, first handle the marriage of his relative sister in the family, and then take his wife to his hometown Ningbo Prefecture to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Ye. Until this moment, he couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng's brothers.

If you get into such a guy who doesn't follow the rules, don't think that the two brothers are the sons of the elders, you will suffer a loss.

However, when he returned to Silijian, he had not yet entered his straight room, but was stopped by Feng Bao who happened to come out of it. The two had known each other for many years. Feng Bao nodded with him and signaled his subordinates to guard all places and not let them come in. Then he said bluntly: "Taiyue means that he plans to clean up the Kedao. As for Wang Fulin's affairs, when the matter between him and the five young masters of the Zhang family on both sides is over, he will find him a name for him to go home for a while and avoid the limelight."

It took Zhang Taizheng and Zhang Jiazheng ten or eight days to find out. It was placed in the hands of the East Factory. It only took two or three days to get the result. When he found out that the name belonged to the Censor of the Censorate, he naturally told Zhang Juzheng immediately. This time it was a real surprise.

Zhang Hong was not very concerned about the serious matter of purge of the slogans of the Department, because he knew very well that he had no room for objection to this matter. The emperor also had no good feelings for those slogans who were swearing around. But can he tell Feng Bao that Wang Fulin's actions are just right to fulfill his wish?

ps: I found a pun when I named this chapter. The two are closer to seven thousand words, so I continue to ask for a ticket for the next month to be continued.
Chapter completed!
