Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 38: There is a grudge!

Station.

The moment Yu Shenxing saw 'Wang Xijue', he was almost shocked. He couldn't believe that he actually came to Jiangling in person.

"Yuan Yu, why are you here in Jiangling? Have you received the letter I wrote to you?" Yu Shenxing asked hurriedly.

He just wrote to Wang Xijue yesterday, and he came to Jiangling today, so he must have not received the letter.

Faced with Shen Xing's many questions, Wang Xijue just smiled indifferently. There is a huge difference between him who has passed the age of knowing his fate and who he was six years ago.

Wang Xijue is no longer as aggressive and excited as before, but more relaxed and cautious.

"Ke Yuan, although I haven't received your letter, I can guess what you wrote in it." Wang Xijue said with a calm smile.

Yu Shenxing was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Seriously? Then why don't you tell me?"

"You just want me to give you some advice, am I right?" Wang Xijue just joked.

Yu Shenxing knew that Wang Xijue had not spoken clearly. After all, yesterday's letter was already outdated today. He also knew that the reason why Wang Xijue didn't speak plainly was because he wanted to save face for him.

"Yuan Yu, please stop teasing me. Do we still have to play riddles about our relationship?" Yu Shenxing pretended to be angry.

"Isn't this a joke to you? Why aren't you happy?" Wang Xijue smiled helplessly. He was a straight-tempered man who was actually always annoyed by the twists and turns in the court. Seeing that Yu Shenxing was so direct, he was also pleased. Quite a few, so I asked directly about the business:

"Okay, let's stop playing riddles and let's get down to business. By the way, what are your plans for His Highness, Prince Lu, when he comes for this trip?"

Yu Shenxing also became serious and replied: "The actions of King Lu during this trip are different from what I had guessed before. I thought that he would advocate severe torture of the Zhang family like Qiu Maoshi and others. Unexpectedly, he firmly disagreed. I never expected to torture the Zhang family again."

"Is that so?" Wang Xijue narrowed his eyes slightly, a little puzzled, and then asked: "Is it possible that Prince Lu's trip was not under the emperor's instructions?"

"I don't think so." Yu Shenxing was very sure, but then he doubted again:

"But what King Lu did was something I didn't understand. He actually took the initiative to take out a list of Zhang Taiyue's old party members, and asked Qiu Maoshi to take people to search those people's homes, and he even pretended to be hiding Zhang Taiyue. On the grounds of stolen money.

If King Lu does this, the final crime will still fall on Zhang Taiyue and the Zhang family. This move is in line with the emperor's purpose. Is it possible that King Lu's move was really the emperor's instruction? The emperor wants to know about this case early? "

"No, it's definitely not the emperor's order!" Wang Xijue's tone was quite firm, and he vaguely guessed something in his thoughtful eyes.

"Yuan Yu?" Yu Shenxing saw this and asked, "But what's the clue?"

Wang Xijue did not answer, but instead asked: "If King Lu asked you to do this, no one would object?"

"Of course, even though I'm the only one..." Yu Shenxing felt a little lonely, and soon he cheered up again: "But it doesn't matter, even if Prince Lu is the emperor's only biological brother, even if the emperor insists on favoring Prince Lu, I We still have to go to court for impeachment! At worst, we will lose this black gauze hat!"

Wang Xijue didn't seem to care about Yu Shenxing's courage, but asked hurriedly: "Wait a minute, does King Lu know that you want to impeach him?"

Yu Shenxing gritted his teeth and replied: "I know, he also said that my official position is too low, and asked me to drag Shen Rumo along with me to impeach him. It's simply...ridiculous!"

"That's it." Wang Xijue nodded clearly.

Yu Shenxing was puzzled and asked, "What is that?" Wang Xijue smiled mysteriously: "Ke Yuan, I can now confirm that King Lu did not do this under the emperor's instructions."

"If it wasn't the emperor's instruction, who else could it be? Could it be King Lu's own intention?" Yu Shenxing was a little excited. He didn't seem to agree with Wang Xijue's opinion, and said: "Although King Lu is young and domineering, His city is extremely deep, I don’t believe he dares to go against the emperor’s will unless..."

The sound stopped suddenly, Yu Shenxing seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened immediately!

He quickly looked at Wang Xijue and saw the other person smiling meaningfully at him.

At this moment, everything was clear in Yu Shenxing's heart.

"If that's the case, then I will follow His Highness King Lu's wishes and impeach him?" Yu Shenxing asked meaningfully.

"Then what else?" Wang Xijue asked with a smile, and he also deliberately warned: "Remember what King Lu said, let Shen Rumo call more people to come with you to impeach. Only the more people there are, the more troublesome things will be. big."

"Okay." Yu Shenxing nodded, but in an instant, he began to feel embarrassed again: "It's just... Shen Rumo's current situation doesn't seem to be very good. Pan Jitong left, and the censor in the court has a grudge against everyone. Since he was promoted by Zhang Taiyue himself, he may not be able to mobilize many people..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll help you." Wang Xijue said generously: "I will write to Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi and ask them to assist you in impeachment."

"Will they be willing to help me?" Yu Shenxing said anxiously: "I am on Shen Rumo's side, and Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi hope that Shen Rumo, the chief assistant, will fall soon, for fear that..."

"Don't worry about this." Wang Xijue comforted him: "Although Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi don't like Shen Rumo, they mostly deal with the situation and the person. Their duty is to be the censor, and it is their duty to impeach and admonish the king. . King Lu’s move is so ridiculous, they will not sit idly by and ignore it.”

"That's good." Yu Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of gratitude: "Yuan Yu, thank you very much. I didn't expect that the person who helped Zhang Taiyue in the end was you."

Wang Xijue smiled and shook his head: "You misunderstood. I am not helping Zhang Taiyue, but helping you. Of course, I am more curious about whether Zhang Taiyue left any back-ups."

"At first I also wanted to know if he had any backup plan, but based on my observations these days, I'm afraid... there is none." Yu Shenxing said helplessly.

"Impossible!" Wang Xijue's face was full of disbelief. When he mentioned this matter, he who was still very calm suddenly seemed to have returned to the age where he was easily excited. He snorted coldly:
  "How could he, Zhang Shentong, be so smart and not know that reformers rarely die a good death since ancient times? He had offended so many people during his lifetime, didn't he know that he would be brutally retaliated after his death?

During his lifetime, he reprimanded the emperor as if he were his son. Didn't he know that the emperor was already dissatisfied with him and would liquidate the Zhang family after his death? I don’t believe it anyway! "

"Oh, I don't know anymore." Yu Shenxing didn't know what to say. He could see that Wang Xijue was unhappy, so he didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

Yu Shenxing also regretted a little. It was so good that he kept mentioning Zhang Juzheng in front of Wang Xijue.

You know, these two people have a grudge...

As early as six years ago, in the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was still the chief minister of the cabinet, and Wang Xijue was still the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

At that time, the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Wang Xijue was considered harmonious. In the first five years of Zhang Juzheng's administration, Wang Xijue's official position also increased, riding the wind and waves along the way.

However, starting from the fifth year of Wanli, everything changed.

That year, Zhang Juzheng's father passed away.

From then on, the incident of "Zhang Juzheng seizing love" that shocked the government and the public began!
