Chapter 842 The thorns are on the back, and I have to protect
For most of the staff members in the Six-College Gallery, Cheng Naixuan is a freak. Although he seems very popular at the age, he does not like to show off or do not compete for excellence. He does not impeach the court officials to enhance his reputation. His family is very rich but does not show off his wealth. Most of the time he is happy, as if he is gentle and harmless.≤. Only when he satirized Fan Shimei in a decent way did people realize that this guy was probably just hiding his weakness.
But in a place where everyone strives for progress, hiding weakness is not only not an advantage, but also a disadvantage. Therefore, in the past two days after he asked for leave, the other servants of Huke Academy have complained about the wealth and willfulness of Master Cheng behind his back. Although the emperor has just married and ruled by the ruler, the servants of Liuke Academy do not have much chance to get close to Tianyan, but this is the opportunity to get the moon first. Who would have asked for leave at such a young age? Moreover, Chen Sanmocai and Wang Fulin had a big fight, and were so angry that Cheng Naixuan was not afraid of being worn with small shoes?
It is precisely because of this that when he saw Mr. Cheng Shiran enter the sixth-degree corridor, Shi Yingyue frowned for a moment. Shi Yingyue was a juren in the fourth year of Longqing and a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing. If we only look at the ranking of the palace test list, we are afraid that some of the later audience members will be sarcastic, because Shi Yingyue ranked fifth from the bottom among nearly 400 Jinshis. However, even in this way, he was the bottom in the third class. Shi Yingyue passed the Shujishi exam. Although he failed to stay in the hall after the museum was disbanded in May of the first year of Wanli, he was awarded the rituals and rituals.
In the Six-Care Gate, Shi Yingyue's qualifications are second only to Chen Sanmo. He stayed in the Six-Care Gate for five years, from the Like Care to the Right-Care Gate for Like, the Left-Care Gate for Like, and the Left-Care Gate for Like, and now he is the General Secretary of the Household Department. He is nearly 40 years old and is naturally not very accustomed to Cheng Naixuan's style of being a rich young man. However, he also knew that this person who had achieved great political achievements in his work outside and had been committed to building the canal that was almost completely built, Wang Qian, the son of Wang Chonggu, the former Minister of War, went to pick peaches, so he naturally became more tolerant of it.
At this moment, he slandered a few words and said harshly, and saw Cheng Naixuan looking respectful. He knew that this guy had always accepted humbly and never changed his mind. If you send me, I will concentrate on doing it. If you say me, I will just pretend to be in the wind. He could only snort coldly and ignore this guy again.
Liukelang is located in the palace city, not as good as the prison in the yamen. Liukelang and the servants all share the direct rooms. At most, they have screens or bookshelf partitions, and they cannot stop the sound at all. Therefore, as soon as Cheng Naixuan went out, Shi Yingyue could hear the voices of several other servants outside the room, either joking with kindness or ridicule this colleague. Some people even mentioned the dispute between Chen Sanmo and Wang Fulin during the discussion in the East Pavilion, but Cheng Naixuan didn't mention these words and kept fighting there. It was not until the Liukelang masters and the Little Fire Master brought lunch from the outside, that he sighed and said twice.
"Don't look at Wang Fulin's glamorous look, in fact, he was in trouble. Before he became an official, he took on the role of the old master Zhang Ge. If he hadn't been smart, he would have been almost cheated. This time he had a conflict with Chen Duan, then he couldn't blame him. If it were someone else, he had a high score in the test censorship, but he was criticized for being a little tricky. Don't say that those test censors might be cut down due to the quota limit, and even this would be blamed on him. With his temper, it would be strange if he didn't jump out. Tsk, he is a different person from me, who is a scheming person. He is always a person who makes trouble everywhere he goes."
Although Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan are close friends, as well as fellow townsmen of the same year, and in-laws, it is no secret that Cheng Naixuan used to be careless, but he never talked about Wang Fulin in the Sixth Corridor. At this moment, when Cheng Naixuan took the initiative to mention it, someone asked as if he was asking about it. Given that this was in the Sixth Corridor territory, no one would care about the fact that Chen Sanmo was defeated by the officials, but he was very interested in the conflict between Wang Fulin and Zhang Siwei's eldest son Zhang Taizheng. After several people asked repeatedly, Cheng Naixuan reluctantly started talking.
His statement naturally carried forward the fine traditions learned from Wang Fulin. The ups and downs were like stories, telling the legend of the building on the west lake in Hangzhou. Then he changed the story of the matters in Hangzhou Beiguan. Wang Fulin became a chivalrous young man who saved the idle young man and Zhang Taizheng became a villain who wanted to compete for money with others. But no matter what, the details of these inside stories that others didn't know were even Shi Yingyue, who had never liked his subordinates to gossip in places like straight rooms, and even heard that he just casually slaps two lunches.
However, the master of the staff still needs to maintain his image, so he did not go out to watch the fun like others. So he didn't know at all that the outside world was not just the few staff members in his own household department, but included six or seven staff members in the ritual department, official department, and criminal department. However, most people just stood there and listened to a piece of gossip, and slipped away without any comments.
When the words Cheng Naixuan said were heard by Chen Sanmo, Chen Sanmo, who was in a very bad mood after learning about what happened in the cabinet last night, was so angry that he almost wanted to smash things. Finally, he knew that this was in the straight room of the Liuke Galleries, not at his own home, and if he was not careful, he might cause irreversible consequences. Moreover, like the Liuke Galleries, there are middle-aged officials who often go in and out of the situation, and there should be no slight loss of composure.
However, when he thought that once Zhang Siwei fell, Wang Fulin would be like a monkey who was moved to the top of his head, and would definitely jump up and down. Moreover, with his friendship with several young masters of the Zhang family, Zhang Juzheng's favor would probably compete with him for favor. He felt that his butt was burning and he couldn't even sit still.
The reason why he had suggested that Zhang Juzheng select half of the test censors was, first of all, to compete for the sake of the Taoist statute. His official position was far less than that of the Zuodu Censor Chen Hou. He wanted to overwhelm Zhang Juzheng, so he could only gain Zhang Juzheng's trust by making suggestions. At that time, he did not consider taking it directly with Wang Fulin. Although Wang Fulin became famous in recent years and was like entering the Zhang family, he claimed to be a senior and did not take people seriously. However, it was his initial contempt and indifference that made him taste the biggest setback in his life in the previous court discussion.
What should he do? Should he try to protect Zhang Siwei this time? Moreover, Zhang Siwei told him yesterday that the record of the court discussion had been sent to Zhang Juzheng. Even if it was not to repay the favor, but to find a solid ally for himself, he had to try it... The most important thing is that he didn't believe in the incident that happened in the cabinet last night, and even thought it was ridiculous. You know, even if Zhang Siwei had a connection with Gao Gong, it was because the unknown little fireman sent Zhang Jie's post and hit him to death, and then he calculated the account on Zhang Siwei's head?
Feng Bao is the same. It has been so many years since he encountered Gao Gong, and he is like a mad dog. How can he still have the style of a Confucian scholar that he usually shows?
Thinking of this, Chen Sanmo suddenly pushed the table and stood up, and suddenly made up his mind.
Even in order not to let Wang Fulin succeed, he had to try his best. If things were done, Zhang Siwei could still owe him a favor! The Shangshu who participated in the court meeting was very familiar with Zhang Juzheng's confidant. This time he was ready in advance, so he didn't believe that these people would follow Feng Bao's sudden crazy! You must know that if Zhang Juzheng was not here, they naturally had to unite and withstand Feng Bao!
In the afternoon, the Wenhua Palace held a court meeting. After lunch, the Ganqing Palace was also busy surrounding Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun. After all, compared with the morning court of Xuying, this kind of court discussion is very important, and this is the first time that the emperor summoned so many ministers after his wedding. People can't find any mistakes. For such occasions, Zhu Yijun himself did not need to have any opinions, and even did not even move his fingers, so someone would prepare it for him. And his mother no longer lives under the same roof, and he felt much more relaxed.
In addition to accepting a queen who has been influenced by nearly a year of etiquette and every move is like a puppet, he obviously feels that life after the wedding is more comfortable. Moreover, Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng also quietly told him behind his back that they would choose concubines again after a year or two. At that time, he could just choose by himself and survive this period of time. However, he did not notice that Zhang Jing, who had always loved to hang out in front of him the most, was not in front of him at this moment, but was serving Feng Bao and Zhang Hong in the veranda room.
Zhang Jing knew that all plans had been revealed since he got Zhang Hong's orders in the morning, and of course he was in a very bad mood. He entered the palace under Zhang Hong's name. He started from doing odd jobs. He finally got a quota for Nei Shutang because of Xiaoyi. But he really didn't have the ability to study, and he always counted down in Nei Shutang. If Zhang Hong hadn't seen his diligence and recommended him to go to the East Palace, he would not be today. However, he was unwilling to be inferior to others, but he had never found a good opportunity. It was not until this time that he discovered such a thing by chance that he immediately started thinking about this plan to count the number of birds.
Who would have thought that if Xu Jue concealed him, he would not have to consider being noticed by Feng Bao, but he was discovered by Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong even took off the firewood from the underworld, claiming to send He Xinyin out of the capital!
If it weren't for not having time to leave the palace at this time, Zhang Jing would have racked his brains and thought of a solution, or colluded with Xu Jue, and even Zhang Hong was trapped. However, he only dared to think about it in his heart. After receiving the secret report from outside the palace for the first time, Zhang Hong made the most correct and decisive choice and informed Feng Bao. The two of them were connected together, so he had no way to do this.
Moreover, he gave Xu Jue a brief hand, but Xu Jue had no handle in his hands, and he was not sure that Xu Jue would come forward to do such a risky thing.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Jing finally chose to take one step at a time. He never left the steps since Zhang Hong followed Feng Bao and entered the Ganqing Palace.
Over the years, it has been a long time since he served Zhang Hong in a row like before.
But even so, whenever Zhang Hong spoke, he would feel his heart trembling, fearing that Zhang Hong would reveal his purpose in front of Feng Bao. Several times, in this gradually warmer weather, he was already sweating and even felt that even the patch was soaked in sweat. It was not until Zhu Yijun got out of the Ganqing Palace to go to Wenhua Palace, Feng Bao followed closely, and he was with Zhang Hong, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. But what he did not expect was that on the way, Zhang Hong suddenly asked in a daze: "Why?"
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, then lowered his head and said in an inauspicious voice: "Old ancestor, the young man is really helpless, so he must report in detail when he turns back."
"You and Zhang Cheng are so deeply hatred?" Zhang Hong did not stop there, but asked again, and found that Zhang Jing had not answered for a long time. He turned around and glanced at him. Sure enough, he saw that Zhang Jing had clenched his teeth, obviously not wanting to answer this question here. He knew that this matter had developed to this point, so he could only wait and see that he stopped holding on to it. Instead, he said lightly, "If there is really something unending situation in Wenhua Palace today, you should do it yourself!"
Zhang Jing's face was pale and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Although he had already told Xu Jue, time was too tight, and Xu Jue could not speak well in front of Feng Bao so quickly. He had not obtained the position of eunuch of Silijian. If Zhang Hong really wanted to deal with him, he would not even expect someone to plead for him, except for Zhu Yijun, the emperor. But if Tianzi knew that he used that trick to frame Zhang Cheng, would he still rely on and trust him as before? You must know that the last time he was sent to the Genggu Room, it was not that Zhu Yijun pleaded with mercy, but that Zhang Hong took them out one or two!
In Wenhua Palace, today's participants are all in the same class as before, or Wang Fulin has experienced two imperial debates, but they are particularly different. Looking around, Wang Guoguang, Minister of Personnel, Yin Zhengmao, Minister of Revenue, Li Youzi, Minister of Works, Pan Sheng, Minister of Rites, Chen Yu, Minister of Left Censor, Wang Zhuan, Left Censor of Personnel, Zhang Xueyan, Left Censor of War, Zeng Shengwu, Right Minister of War, Chief Secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Sanmo, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wang Fulin, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs... All the high-ranking officials and important officials all had a clear Zhang-like mark on them. And what's very subtle is that there is no cabinet master.
Among them, although most people have learned more or less about what happened last night, there are many different opinions on what happened.
As for Wang Fulin, among the people present, only a small part of him knew or were familiar with him, but this was not suitable for private greetings, so his eyes naturally fell on Chen Sanmo.
He could clearly see that Chen Sanmo picked the corners of his mouth and showed him a sarcastic smile. In response, he replied with an equally meaningful smile.
I feel relieved if you know that you are ready.
