Wanli Xinming

Chapter 23
In the first year of Wanli, the platform called for a full four hours.In the middle, because Empress Dowager Li was afraid that the emperor would freeze, Chuan Yi ordered the summons to be moved to Wenyuan Pavilion to continue.

In the meantime, the emperor also intended to give a banquet at Wenyuan Pavilion, which should be to talk with Yuan Fu while eating.It was not until the gate of the palace was closed that the courtier saw Zhang Juzheng respectfully sending the emperor back to the inner palace.

Those who saw Yuan Fu, saw Zhang Juzheng's face was half-smiling, neither the joy of receiving such a special favor, nor the appearance of arguing with the emperor, could not help but be curious.

There are a few fine people in the Hanlin Academy, who went to the residence of the official at night to ask, but the official's expression was half-smiling, and he said, "Yuanfu has something to say, this grand ceremony should be announced to the world, why bother everyone? In a hurry? If I said it first, I would be charged with a crime." Seeing him say this, the crowd dispersed.

The official saw that all his colleagues had left, but he sat down on the ground of his house with a soft leg, and said secretly, "The lives of the three clans are all saved."

In the next few days, Zhang Juzheng went up to express his sincere gratitude and sincere words, including "The Lord's special favors, and the courtesy and courtesy of the ministers, I am very grateful", and there are "the words of the king and the father are earnest, and the minister is Mu Tianen." Thank you so much."

Although there is no mention of the content of the summons, the only thing I am grateful for is the matter of the summons, but at the same time, it is also requested that the content of the summons be made public.

The emperor's edict was very powerful, and he specially promoted Zhang Juzheng, Zuozhuguo Taifu, to eat the earl's salary, and gave him one hundred taels of silver and two bullfighting Luomang robes.And there are sayings such as "a very person is responsible for extraordinary things, so that the minister does not have to refuse".Zhang Juzheng played thanks again.

The hot-eyed official listened and said, "The first time I heard that you were given two bullfighting suits, do you want to change and wear them?" Everyone laughed when they heard it.

After some pretentiousness, the court and the public know that Zhang Juzheng's power has risen, and Peiran can't take it!
In the spring season, the ice on the Yongding River melts, and the business travelers at the Tongzhou Canal Wharf are again like weaving.The imperial court issued two documents, a "Platform Summoning Record", the main content is the emperor and Zhang Juzheng's discussion of "Chen Liu Shi Shu", which will "provide discussions, strengthen discipline guidelines, re-edict orders, verify names and facts, consolidate the foundation of the state, The six items of "Prepare for Arms" turned into question-and-answer dialogues, which were compiled in a decent manner.

In the last paragraph of "Platform Calling Duolu", it is written that the emperor expresses his will, and Zhang Juzheng rejoices.In fact, one sentence of the later dialogue between the two was not recorded, and all of them were deleted, and none of the sentences such as the question and answer between the family and the country and the debate between Huayi and Yi were left.

The other is Zhang Juzheng's "Please Accompany the Examination and Examination of the Examinations to Cultivate the Real Politics", with the content of the emperor's red pen: "What Qing et al said is that if the examination is not successful, what is the bottom line? The results, this performance will be carried out according to the agreement.”

Then, behind the memorial, there was a long sentence written by the emperor's red pen: "All ministries, academies, and prefectures are tested according to the method, and those who are not finished at the end of the year, those who have money, food, education, relief, river work, and robbery investigation, etc. Entering Beijing to explain in front of me, and those in Beijing will be dismissed on the spot pending inspection."

The willow tree cages in Beijing are pale yellow, and when the swallows return to the north, these two edicts have been printed by the Minister of General Affairs, and radiated to the remote areas of the empire with Beijing as the center along with the express shop network under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Ministry of War. And go.

When it was spread to Nanjing, the Nanjing guard eunuch Li Xiuqing in the inner hall, wearing only the middle order and swinging a big fan, discussed with a young guard eunuch named Wang Quanzan: "Jinren, what do you think of this edict?"

Wang Jinren held in his hand the newspaper with the fragrance of ink printed by the Secretary of General Affairs, and after deliberation, he said, "The emperor's intention to cheer up is clear. This first step is probably the administration of officials."

Li Xiuqing nodded and said yes, waved her hand to call for her follower, and instructed: "You arrange for someone to immediately copy this newspaper, send it to Xiaoling Shrine, and give it to husband Feng." The follower agreed and took over Wang Shaojian The Di Bao that was handed over went out to make arrangements.

When Wang Jinren first saw Li Xiuqing arranging such a thing, he couldn't help but ask, "What does Duke Xiushan mean? This Feng Bao is already waiting to die, why do you still respect him so much?"

Li Xiuqing said with a smile: "According to common sense, this should not be the case, and a certain also knows that Feng Bao is waiting to die. But you know that when he left Beijing, he was wearing a royal cloak, accompanied by Dongchang Fanzi, Jinyiwei. Who dares to be disrespectful in the army? He came to Nanjing in a carriage without shackles!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled sinisterly, "At first, I thought our family could give out a profit. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three caves. The family wealth printed by the supervisor of ceremonies is more than the 40 taels mentioned in the mansion newspaper?" He sighed and said: "Now, our family Not sure what the emperor means, this Feng Bao, I'd better be respectful!"

Then stop listening, it seems like a needle has grown under the buttocks, and it can't be twisted.Not daring to retire abruptly, he asked, "Could it be that the emperor still intends to revive him?"

Eunuch Li said: "Our family doesn't know about this. But in just a short period of time, Chen Ju, the admiral of the East Factory, has sent three letters to our family. Although I don't know what they wrote, well, even if Feng Bao didn't have the imperial cloak. , just holding the covers of these letters, those who want to fish on the ground in Nanjing have to weigh them up!"

Wang Jinren saw sweat on his forehead, and whispered in a low voice, "I am humble, but I remember an urgent matter that I haven't done. If Duke Xiushan has nothing else to do, let me retire first."

Seeing Li Shoubei nodding, Wang Shaojian took three steps and made two steps before running out of the garrison.Eunuch Li looked at his back, threw his fan, and said with a sneer: "Things that are blind, think they won't look up when they arrive in Nanjing? You deserve some blood mold!"

Not to mention the swearing behind Eunuch Li, Wang Quanzan hurried back to his private house and hurriedly called his wife: "Yesterday our family arranged for the second uncle to go to Xiaoling to find Feng Bao, can he go?"

The lady's surname was Xiang, and it turned out to be a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River, the so-called thin horse in Yangzhou.Because she became a fake Feng Xuhuang's husband and wife with this eunuch Wang, her family and relatives who sold her in the past came to her, and they got married with Wang Shaojian.

Wang Shaojian came to Nanjing from the Luoyang garrison for the first time, and he didn't have anyone close to him, so he accepted it.Unexpectedly, the first thing this just started hit the big board, and the three corpses jumped in a hurry, pulling their hair with their hands.Seeing that the lady was submissive and unable to say why, she hurriedly called a servant and went to Xiangji's house to find someone.

After a while, that Xiangji came.Seeing that Eunuch Wang's expression had changed, he was startled and said, "Why are officials like this?" When she turned to look at her sister, Mrs. Xiang was also ignorant. When Wang Shaojian saw him coming, he sighed like a phoenix. He asked, "Have you been to Xiaoling today?"

Xiang Jimo touched his head and said coyly, "I was stumped by something today, so I didn't go, the official will forgive me."

That Wang Shaojian Fang let out a sigh of relief.But I heard my second uncle say: "But I arranged for He Laojiu to go, He Laojiu is ruthless, and it is estimated that Feng Baopi should be exposed at this time."

Wang Shaojian's face turned pale, he called out "Ku Ye", and fell to the ground with a thud.

　I'm really sorry, but I'm going to tell you about my two-day itinerary yesterday and today. Last night, I was at home with my children to complete their summer homework.Today, because Mrs. Mo worked overtime, I accompanied my child to two classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, I accompanied my child to buy all the school things and print photos of them doing housework, etc.Finally, Mrs. Mo came home from overtime and rushed out an article.I'm so sorry!
