At noon, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen went to Zhuji hand in hand.
As soon as the two of them heard the news about Zhu Pingan's impeachment of Gao Botai in the morning, they wanted to find Zhu Pingan. However, today was the first day after the break, and there were many things in the Yamen, so the two of them could not find a chance to leave until almost noon.
Only then did they have time. The two of them first went to Prince Yu's Mansion. After hearing the news about Zhu Ping'an's two-day compensatory leave in Prince Yu's Mansion, the two of them came to Zhu Ji to see if Zhu Ping'an was not in Zhu Ji.
Go to Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
"Business is good, Zihou." Zhang Siwei joked with a smile after meeting Zhu Ping'an in Zhu Ji's backyard.
As soon as they entered Zhuji, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were shocked by the popularity of Zhuji's business. They had heard that Zhuji's business was good before, but they never expected that the business was so popular and it was overcrowded.
"Put business first. Zihou, why did you impeach Gao Botai? Don't you know that Gao Botai is the nephew of Yan Shifan's concubine?" Wang Shizhen was more anxious and interrupted Zhang Siwei's words, looking at him with a worried look.
Zhu Pingan asked.
"Haha, Vincent, you are still talking about me. I heard that you arranged a meal for Yan Shifan at the wine table some time ago." Zhu Pingan laughed and patted Wang Shizhen on the shoulder.
What Zhu Pingan said was true. It happened a week ago. That day Yan Shifan hosted a banquet for Li Panlong, Xie Zhen, Wang Shizhen, Yin Shidan and other famous people in the poetry world. Although Li Panlong, Wang Shizhen and others scorned Yan Shifan,
Due to the power of Yan Song and his son, several people were disgusted and afraid of Yan Shifan, so they did not dare to break the appointment. The banquet was okay at first, but after the drunkenness, Yan Shifan relapsed into his old behavior, and poured wine on others, mocking an old man at the table for his low drinking capacity.
Wang Shizhen couldn't stand it, so he wrote a poem to satirize Yan Shifan.
The poem says:
Walking hand in hand to Heliang, meeting your uncle is like meeting your mother.
They both shed tears.
Three lines!
This poem is a satire on Yan Shifan. How could two people shed tears at the same time in three lines? Isn't it just because one of the people is one-eyed? That's why two people shed tears at the same time, and there are only three lines.
Yan Shifan is a one-eyed dragon.
It is said that after Wang Shizhen finished this poem, Yan Shifan's face turned green on the spot. If Yan Shifan had not deliberately used the talents of Wang Shizhen and others to win over the world's officials, Yan Shifan would not have laughed it off.
"Ahem, to be honest, I was drunk at the time. Thinking about it afterwards, I had a cold sweat all over my back."
Wang Shizhen raised her head and looked at Zhu Pingan, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"You got drunk, and I had a reason for it at the time. You don't know that in broad daylight, with the sky clear, I was reading and practicing calligraphy in front of the canal, and for no reason I was tied up by Gao Botai and sent to the Shuntian Mansion Prison. If I hadn't had this
Even though I am an official, I have become a "thief" in the Shuntian Mansion Prison. As the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horse Division, how do you act like an official? Do you think this person should be impeached? If he is not impeached, I don't know who else will
How many people have made the same mistake as me, but they don't have the official skin like me... In addition, Gao Botai invaded and occupied farmland, hundreds of military households, and the people lost their land and became homeless... shouldn't Gao Botai be impeached?
?”
Zhu Ping'an looked at Wang Shizhen, then at Zhang Siwei, explained the matter roughly, then shrugged his shoulders and asked the two of them.
"Having said that, Zi Hou, after all, you just impeached Zhao Daying who was promoted by Yan Song some time ago. The Taicang inspection ordered Yan Shifan to pay a fine of 12,000 taels of silver, and now you have impeached the nephew of Yan Shifan's concubine.
...You are easily targeted by Yan Shifan. Wen Sheng wrote a poem to satirize Yan Shifan. It is not suitable to offend Yan Shifan again, but I have never had any disputes with Yan Shifan. Zihou, you should have told me at that time.
If I come to impeach Gao Botai, wouldn't it be much safer than your impeachment?"
Zhang Siwei nodded first, then shook his head, feeling that Zhu Pingan should have told him that he would be the one to impeach.
"It would be much better for me to impeach you than for you." Wang Shizhen also had the same emotion.
After listening to the words of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, Zhu Ping'an was very moved, but he put on a playful smile and said jokingly: "Haha, what a wonderful idea, don't even think about this kind of good opportunity to leave your name in history.
"
"Go away...Zihou, I'm telling you something serious." Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen punched Zhu Ping'an and laughed and cursed.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Zhu Ping'an said seriously.
"Well, Zihou, it's good that you know. As for Yan Song and his son, if you are sure that they will be killed in one blow, you should never take action. Otherwise, you will suffer harm if you kill the snake." Zhang Siwei nodded and warned seriously.
"Now the Holy One has great favor and trust in Yan Song, and the Yan Party is at its peak. This sincerity cannot be competed with. Zi Hou, you must be clear." Wang Shizhen said to Zhu Ping'an with the same serious face.
"Yeah, I know. You too, especially you Wen Sheng, please don't act recklessly again in the future. I have always been very respectful to Yan Song and his son. I'm just beating the dog. It's not like you beat the owner of the dog."
…”
Zhu Ping'an nodded and gave Wang Shizhen a special explanation.
Historically, Wang Shizhen and Yan Shifan had a very deep feud. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had sworn enemies.
Of course, there were many points of grudge between them, and Zhu Ping'an was prepared to remind Wang Shizhen one by one when the time came. Especially when Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Yan, was in charge of Ji Liao, he must remind Wang Shizhen and tell his father to strengthen the prevention of the Panjiakou Great Wall.
Historically, it was because Anda Khan invaded the Panjiakou Great Wall, marched straight in, and captured four satellite cities of Beijing, including Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian, killing, burning, and looting along the way. This led to Wang Yan being escorted to the capital for questioning. In
Due to the activities of Wang Shizhen and others, a judge convicted Wang Yan of sending a concubine. However, Yan Shifan took the opportunity to attack and took advantage of Emperor Jiajing's failure in refining elixir. He was angry and dissatisfied and slandered Emperor Jiajing: "The barbarians invaded the border, Wang Yan
He had the responsibility of defending the territory and held a heavy army, but he allowed the barbarians to march straight through the Panjiakou Great Wall in his defense area, and fell all the way to the four capital barriers of Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian, allowing the barbarians to burn, kill, and loot... If it weren't for the military and civilian efforts
, the barbarians are about to invade the capital again. So, is it really because Wang Yan failed to mobilize his troops? This is obviously his collaboration with the enemy and treason, and he has betrayed the trust of the Holy One. Yousi and Wang Yan have an old relationship, so he only sentenced Wang Yan to be responsible for the distribution of troops.
, if the Holy One approves, can the people of the world be convinced? Can the spirit of heaven be convinced of the poor people who were burned, killed, and looted by the barbarians in Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian? The Holy One, if Wang Yan is not killed, the people of the world cannot be convinced.
Ah, I ask your Majesty to think again." Emperor Jiajing was already in a bad mood, so under Yan Shifan's slander, he directly changed Wang Yan's death sentence.
Of course, these can only be reminded at that time, and the prophet cannot explain it. Now we can only remind Wang Shizhen first to avoid enmity with Yan Shifan at the moment.
