Wanli Xinming

Chapter 187
At the end of October of the fifth year of Wanli, the second snow fell on the capital. Although the landing was still black and muddy, there was still some thin snow left on the eaves and corners to reflect the sunlight.

After Wang Xijue left the residence of Yang Junmin, Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, he immediately went straight to the house of Wang Chonggu, Minister of Punishment.After handing over the famous post of the Zhan Shifu and the bachelor of the Zhan Shifu at the door, he was led into the concierge to drink tea and wait.

Wang Xijue was born in the 13th year of Jiajing, 44 years old at this time, with the character Yuanyu and the name Jingshi, from Taicang, Suzhou Prefecture.His family is a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and his ancestors are descendants of Ji Jin, the prince of King Ling of Zhou.

For thousands of years, Wang's celebrities have emerged in large numbers. From the time of Situ Wang Yun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were five princes, three queens, and 13 prime ministers.When Emperor Wei Xiaowen divided the surnames into families, King Taiyuan was established as one of the four surnames, and one of the seven surnames in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xijue's family is not a country gentry, but a powerful family with the highest crown in the world.

Although they are a big family, the Taicang royal family and the Taiyuan royal family do not have frequent exchanges. Although the Wang Xijue family is very rich, the Taicang royal family has never produced a single person in two lifetimes and has a very low political status. Therefore, Wang Xijue's father, Wang Mengxiang, pinned all his hopes on Wang Xijue and Wang Xijue. On his younger brother Wang Dingjue.

With the 41st year of Jiajing, Wang Xijue first became Yuan Yuan, and later became the editor of Hanlin, the relationship between the Wang clan in Taiyuan and Suzhou was suddenly strengthened, and there were many noble gentry of the Wang clan who married him.Wang Xijue made leaps and bounds in his official career, and he also gained the strength of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Before he finished drinking a cup of tea in Wang Chonggu's gatehouse, Wang Chonggu personally came out to welcome Wang Xijue straight into the study.Wang Xijue was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Chonggu greeted him personally and did not meet him in the hall.

Sure enough, Wang Chonggu's demeanor was very affectionate, making Wang Xijue feel like a spring breeze.The two were seated separately. Wang Chonggu had a faint smile on his face and asked, "Jing Shi, you are very clean and never walk with each other. How can you visit Yang Shaoqing first and then the old man?"

When Wang Xijue heard Wang Chonggu say that he went to Yang Junmin's house first, he froze in his heart, and then sighed inwardly at the difficulty of being a court official.He determined and said: "Don't dare to be called the eldest 'Jing Shi', Xi Jue is afraid. The eldest can call some Yuanyu."

Wang Chonggu listened, smiled and waved his hand, his eyes staring straight at Wang Xijue: "Yuan Yu is here, there must be some advice, you and I can't write two words for king in one stroke, it's okay to speak bluntly."

Hearing this, Wang Xijue let out a sigh of relief, and said to Wang Chonggu with a sincere face: "Jianchuan Gong Zhang Chi is driving, and due to the situation, he will stop the beacon tower of our dynasty for 50 years. Ban Ye, how dare the lower officials say the word 'teach' to Yan Yan, but I am worried about the current situation in the court, so I ask Lord Jianchuan to give me some advice, so as to relieve my foolish ears."

Wang Chonggu's contribution to Alda's tribute was indeed "the 50-year beacon of Sexi's northern border" and made a great contribution to the tranquility of the northern part of the empire.But Wang Xijue's saying that he "accounts for half of the world's balance" is too exaggerated. Wang Chonggu didn't expect to show people the tall and steep Wang Yuanyu with this face, and the portrait of this "prince" in his heart suddenly became full.

He twitched his beard and smiled, pretending to be useful, and said with a smile: "Yuan Yu's words are too exaggerated. You and I have been friends for a long time. You don't have to talk around the corners, you might as well speak bluntly."

Wang Xijue then entered the topic and said: "The emperor was indiscriminately set up a prison because of the assassination of Zhang Xianggong's old father, and everyone in the world is in danger. The road has not been seen in a thousand years--Isn't Duke Jianchuan afraid?"

Seeing Wang Chonggu's face somber and his beard twitching, Wang Xijue spread out his left palm and circled his left hand with his right hand, saying: "Mr. Who in the world can stay out of it?"

When Wang Chonggu heard him mention Wang Daokun, Gu Jing Wubo's face changed a little, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Yuan Yu just came up from Yang Junmin's house, what does Yang Shaoqing have to say?"

Wang Xijue listened with a wry smile and said, "Yang Shaoqing agreed very readily, saying that he had already sent a letter to Commander Yang - but your Majesty does not speak, what can Yang Junqing do? What dare Yang Junqing do?!"

Hearing this, Wang Chonggu admired Wang Xijue somewhat.He smiled and said: "What Yang Junqing can't do, what can this old man do as a minister of the punishment department? Now that these people have not yet reached the punishment department, their foreheads are beyond the reach of the whip."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "What the eldest lord said is. Therefore, the lower official feels that there is only one way to do this."

Wang Chonggu groaned in his heart, and said bitterly, "Could it be that this fellow wants to connect in series?" As expected, Wang Xijue touched his sleeve with his hand, and guessed that he was going to fetch the memorial jointly signed by the ministers.

Wang Chonggu rolled his eyes, suddenly slapped his palms, and said with a smile: "Photo! Yuan Yu and the old man thought of going together! Now that the emperor is angry, it is useless to write a hundred copies - only ask for it in the song!"

When Wang Xijue heard this, his expression was a little dazed.Seeing Wang Chonggu staring at him with bright eyes, he involuntarily stopped the action of holding the notebook and asked, "What do you mean by the boss?"

Wang Chonggu said with a smile: "Now that the queen mother is backed up, it's not easy to speak. I can only rely on, rely on, rely on this. Well, rely on the queen. After hearing that the emperor's wedding, the old man loves the middle palace and treats other concubines as nothing. If you can say Use the force of Ning Bo, pass on the public opinions of the ministers, and let the queen gently persuade them, or you may get miraculous results."

Hearing Wang Chonggu's idea, Wang Xijue felt tired and crooked. He couldn't help but protest: "Mr. Jianchuan, the meaning of a certain class is wrong-" Wang Chonggu saw that he had even said the word "a class", and his expression changed. He hurriedly stopped him and said to the north:
"It has been six years since the emperor ascended the throne. At this time, he is already married and in charge of the government. Judging from the reform edict, although it is not without manipulation, Ying Ming is in control, and Tian Xin is not someone we can speculate about—"

Wang Xijue was also a wise man. Seeing Wang Chonggu interrupting him twice, he immediately realized that he didn't need to dig out the manuscript in his sleeve, and the Shanxi Gang couldn't count on it.

Bowing his head and sighing, he said, "Xiaguan is also not a jerk. If Duke Jianchuan and Wu Ningbo can talk to each other, they can also walk the path of the harem. Xiaguan means that the emperor is holy and conscientious. Even if there are things we don’t understand, we, as courtiers, should also write down and ask the emperor to answer our doubts.” The words also began to be strict, unlike the words “the road is the eye” when we first entered the door. .

Wang Chonggu heard him say this, and sighed in his heart that he still had nothing to do with this family - in the future, it would only be up to Zhang Siwei to get along with him.With a hearty smile: "Although the old man has a short time to return to Beijing, Ziwei and him are not bad. This is a matter of persuading him in circles. Let him go to work - how much it can make a difference, it is hard to say. The emperor is not that easy. I was moved by the words of the people around me."

Seeing Wang Xijue bow his head and say yes.Wang Chonggu couldn't hide his friendship with him, and asked with a smile, "As far as I know, you have no friendship with Wang Daokun; the Wang family was not involved in this major case, so why did Yuan Yu run like this?"

In Wang Chonggu's mind, there may be two reasons for judging Wang Xijue's running:
One is that Wang Xijue judges that the arrest is coming to an end, and most of the arrested will be released by Jinyiwei. At this time, those who are in the early stage will gain huge political influence; If you want Zhang Juzheng to cut the division, sacrifice three or five years of official career, first stand firm!

However, not long after the Reform Edict came out, Wang Xijue was not afraid to offend the emperor by singing the opposite tune?If this bad impression exists in the emperor's heart, what is the use of his political influence, and what is the use of being on the right team?

While thinking about it, Wang Xijue looked up at himself with a stunned face, and said in his mouth: "As ministers, we only agree with the ruler's morality, so that we can keep the sea within; What does it have to do with seniority?"

　I'm sorry, but recently Lao Mo's eyes were broken first; then there were a lot of broken things in the work unit, and some things at home were intertwined, and he was exhausted.The original plan was to start the normal update on the third day of the first month, and it has been delayed until now - Lao Mo will adjust as soon as possible and resume the normal update.Sorry again.
