Chapter 809: The East Strikes the West
The day after the Hanlin Academy edited Wu Zhongxing's book, Zhang Juzheng's other protΓ©gΓ©, who also chose Shu Jishi that year, and now Zhao Yongxian, who is now the review of the Hanlin Academy, also pointed at Zhang Juzheng's unfilial piety, and even criticized the Taoist official who left Zhang Juzheng in the book is a betrayal of public opinion and favoritism, please order Zhang Juzheng to return to his hometown for burial, and return to the dynasty after the fact.
On the next day, Zhang Juzheng's fellow villager Wailang Aimu and the director Shen Sixiao jointly signed a letter, this time it was simply a clear impeachment, impeachment of Zhang Juzheng for being greedy and forgetting his relatives!
Except for Shen Sixiao, the other three are either Zhang Juzheng's protΓ©gΓ©s or his fellow villagers!
In this chaotic situation, Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, did not know about these many troubles. He just yelled at Zhang Hong that he wanted to go to the domain, and he got the treatment of a day trip out of the palace, and he was already satisfied, of course he didn't care if Feng Bao didn't follow, Zhang Hong followed - if he let him choose, he would prefer to choose Zhang Hong, who is kind and talkative, rather than Feng Bao, who is in charge of the emperor's brother. As for saying that the palace doesn't even give him pea yellow to eat, of course it's impossible, but although the Empress Dowager Li doesn't control him as tightly as Emperor Wanli, she also orders the people around her to supervise him all the time, and there is even a simple person who mutters a few words to him behind his back.
It's nothing more than that this palace is not yours, it's the emperor's, and if you want to enjoy yourself, you have to wait until you leave the palace to become a vassal.
Therefore, Zhu Yiyi, the king of Lu, who has never been out of the palace since he was so old, naturally wants to take a look at what the scene is outside the palace. Finally, this time he made a dangerous move, and he was able to get his wish.
Since he temporarily took over the command of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Zhang Hong wanted to create an opportunity for Zhang Feng to meet Wang Fulin, so he naturally indulged Zhu Yiyi's temperament, and did whatever this King Lu wanted. Even if this little ancestor ran to the stall selling straw sandals and was excited to learn to weave straw shoes, he followed closely in the dress of an old servant, handing him the rope with a smile. As the scope of activities of Zhu Yiyi and his entourage and a few henchmen became larger and larger, Dongchang and Jinyiwei mobilized more and more manpower, except for some eyeliners used to spy on important people, the others were all put into the protection of His Royal Highness King Lu.
And Zhang Hong not only created opportunities for Zhang Feng, but also mobilized a few eyeliners belonging to him in addition, successfully ensuring that when Wang Fulin walked out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there were no eyes staring at him in front of and behind him.
Wang Fulin's itinerary is in the Guangdong Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has never been a secret, and today he is going to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple on a business trip, as the representative of Chen Zhan, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to discuss the issue of the punishment of the three legal divisions. By the time he was done, it was almost noon. Naturally, he would not be in a hurry to go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to eat the big pot of rice provided by the Yamen, he had money in his pocket, and now he did not continue to pay attention to the ups and downs of Zhang Juzheng's love turmoil. He had already sent Wang Daokun back to his hometown, and he let go of most of his worries, and at this moment he walked very firmly along Eagle Peak Temple Street to a small alley with a broken head over there.
He wasn't interested in vegetarian food before, but the somen noodles sold by that stall were really delicious, especially the gluten was special, if he didn't eat at noon, and didn't send Zheng Yougui to buy food, most of them would take off their official clothes and come here quietly. Because this small alley was too pickled, and there was only one roof, two tables, and eight stools, and he often had to eat with people, and the stall would be closed after lunch, so he had never met his colleagues who paid attention to manners and decency.
However, at noon on this day, when he came to this stall with a familiar way, he found that there were no diners who could always be seen here, and the familiar fat old man was nowhere to be seen, but there was a familiar person sitting opposite the seat where he usually sit. The moment he recognized the other party, he realized that today's meeting was not a coincidence, but had been planned in advance, and how many things had to be asked about him in advance?
For those who have a heart, this kind of yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is really a sieve!
Since he understood this, Wang Fulin stepped forward and sat down in his old seat unceremoniously, raised his eyebrows and said, "When did Gonggong Zhang come to the capital from Nanjing?" I was shocked that you, a garrison eunuch, sat quietly in the shop where I often came. β
"Let Wang Shi Yujian smile." Zhang Feng smiled a little apologetically, as for how sincere that apology was, only God knows. However, this time compared with the fact that he met Wang Fulin privately in Nanjing about half a year ago, the degree of power used was completely different, and the degree of importance of a person like Wang Fulin was also completely different. At the beginning, Wang Fulin was just a rising star who hurriedly returned to Beijing from the post of Guangdong Inspector Imperial History, and the future is difficult to say, but now, Wang Fulin is already the head of Guangdong Province, and rumors of entering and leaving Zhang's house as if entering his own house abound, and everyone said that Zhang Juzheng valued this person very much.
Therefore, he naturally didn't care about greetings, but smiled at the beginning: "After Meng Fang was taken down, Gonggong Feng in Nanjing changed to a godson to take office, this one is quite good to talk to, plus Meng Fang's lesson, and I get along well." As for that messy business, as soon as Meng Fang fell, I immediately cleaned up the mess. β
Wang Fulin knew that Zhang Feng wanted to show his protection of the Hui merchants, he smiled in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Then thank you to Father-in-law Zhang, all the families in my hometown will thank you for this deep friendship." β
Zhang Feng didn't care if Wang Fulin was teasing in his words, and after spreading out the interests between the two, he said: "I'm sitting here today, presumably Wang Shiyu also knows who arranged it." You have dealt with my godfather a few times, and my godfather is full of praise for you. To say that Godfather and Yuanfu, and Gonggong Feng, have always gotten along very well. However, Cisheng Niangniang has always been strict with the emperor, and Gonggong Feng is also towards Niangniang, so Yuanfu's attitude is naturally crucial. Godfather said, just like the previous incident, if you can persuade Yuanfu from it in the future, it will be beneficial to both parties. β
Wang Fulin didn't believe that Zhang Hong had mastered his movements so accurately, and immediately sent Zhang Feng, a person who was not familiar but not a stranger, to his eyes, just to let himself do such an easy thing. Therefore, he simply pretended to be ignorant and asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Zhang, don't blame me for my poor understanding, this is really too general, don't mind making an analogy, right?" β
If Wang Fulin agreed so readily, Zhang Feng would have to muttered in his heart, at this moment, the other party is so stupid, and he has to give his own example, although this is a bit of a scoundrel, but it makes him feel that today's trip is still worth it. He knocked lightly on the table and said in a low voice: "The emperor has Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale by his side, who have served since childhood, Zhang Cheng once served as the eunuch of the internal official and the seal of the seal, and was recommended by Gonggong Feng in the past, and Zhang Whale is the person under the name of my godfather. Because of the incident when the godfather sent someone to find you before, both of them were sent to the drum room by the saint Niangniang, and after the incident passed, the godfather helped the emperor to get people, but there was only one, so Zhang Whale is still staying in the drum room. β
In the affairs of the palace, Wang Fulin only bought a few small eunuchs, and the fragmentary news was not systematic, so it was the first time he knew that the two famous eunuchs around Emperor Wanli were so miserable by Feng Bao. And Zhang Hong is so selfless and selfless, first fishing for others and then for his own godson, is he not afraid that Zhang Whale will be resentful? It's no wonder that those eunuchs in the palace who originally had the status of father and son or master and apprentice directly stepped on their godfathers after gaining power!
But in any case, he should not be approached for this matter...... Could it be that he can still beg Zhang Juzheng and fish people out through Feng Bao? This should just be an introduction!
Sure enough, Zhang Feng then spoke: "From this, you can also see what kind of person your godfather is." Godfather has always been not in power, not in charge of affairs, loyal only for the emperor. Therefore, Godfather only hopes that if the emperor has anything to do in the future, you will blow the wind by Yuanfu's side, and help reconcile when it is time to reconcile. Of course, if you repay the favor, your godfather will definitely speak for you in front of the emperor. β
Seeing Wang Fulin frowning thoughtfully, Zhang Feng took out something from his sleeve and handed it over with a smile: "Although my godfather has entrusted you once last time, there is no thank you gift." In the past three days, four people have written to stop the love, Yuan Fu and Feng Gonggong are all angry, and the emperor has also moved the real fire, maybe he can't keep it even if he really uses the court staff. But in addition to these four daring people, in fact, on the first day, there was also a letter sent to the General Administration, but it was detained, well, this is it. β
Wang Fulin was stunned for a moment. He took the letter handed by Zhang Feng with a complicated face, and when he opened it, he sighed deeply.
Sure enough, Shen Maoxue was still a serious book, but he was intercepted by someone with great powers, and no matter how this fell into Zhang Hong's hands, this favor was always owed. You must know that he can use the three points of family affection and blood to persuade Wang Daokun, who is no longer an idealist, but he can't persuade people like Shen Maoxue.
He only glanced at it, didn't look closely, immediately put it in his sleeve, and then said solemnly: "I also ask Gonggong Zhang to return to Rong Zhaigong, I agreed to this matter." I plan to write a few volumes of books about the West in the future, which are basically romance novels, and I also hope that Gonggong Zhang will have the opportunity to present them to the Imperial Court for me. β
Zhang Feng took over the matter in front of Zhang Hong because he knew that Wang Fulin was a very rational and decisive person, and at this time, Wang Fulin even put forward a very reasonable quid pro quo, he nodded happily with a smile: "It's not easy to say?" As long as Father-in-law Zhang sees that there is no problem, of course it will be promoted. In the future, if there is anything to do, you can go to the pagoda of Master Ci'en at the back of Tianqing Temple, and the west-facing side is counted from the ground, and the third brick is empty. It's not too early, and I'll have to go first. β
"Wait!" Wang Fulin stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Feng, and seeing that the other party's face was full of puzzlement, he patted his stomach lightly, "Forget about the diners of this noodle stall, where did you get this fat old man under the charge for me?" It's not going to make me go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate hungry, right? β
Zhang Fengdeng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly haha: "It was an excuse for me to send someone to ask him to make somen noodles at a high price, and I got people to the vegetarian restaurant behind the Eagle Peak Temple, but I occupied his place, and the previous diners were all blocked by me, but I didn't expect Wang Shiyu to love his bowl of noodles so much." In this way, I will turn around and let the Susaikan of the Eagle Peak Temple ...... him."
"Then there is no need, it's a big deal that I will walk a few more steps and spend a few more dollars to go to the vegetarian restaurant."
Wang Fulin was just worried that these guys didn't treat the common people as people, and directly made the fat old man who was a good cook evaporate from the world, and he was relieved to hear that he was just hired by a lot of money to sit in the most unpalatable vegetarian restaurant in Eagle Peak Temple. When Zhang Feng was let go, he sighed and went directly to the vegetarian restaurant in the Eagle Peak Temple, but there were only a few guests, the fat old man who was busy sweating profusely when there were many people in the past, but he was in a daze at this time, and he showed a happy face when he saw him, but he was cautious when he spoke.
"It's hard for the guest officer to find here, but the plain noodles here...... Get fifty wen a bowl. β
When this price was quoted, the fat old man was a little ashamed. You must know that what he used to ask for was small profits but quick turnover, which regular customer would spend fifty yuan, that is, half a penny of silver, to eat a bowl of noodles, isn't it crazy?
Therefore, when he saw Wang Fulin take out a small ingot of silver from his bag and hand it to the impatient runner next to him as if he didn't care at all, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise! Don't look at Wang Fulin wearing a green silk shirt, now the world is extravagant, and even many peddlers and pawns in Beijing have a silk shirt full of scenes, he never thought about the possibility that the other party is rich. When he hurriedly put down his noodles, and then doubled the toppings and gluten for Wang Fulin, he didn't expect Wang Fulin to raise his hand to him and motioned for him to sit down and talk. After hesitating for a long time, he finally wiped his hands and sat down a little crampedly.
"The vegetarian restaurant of Eagle Peak Temple has always been deserted, and you are hired with a lot of money, if you have no business, how long do you think you can stay?"
Wang Fulin sighed and snorted and ate noodles, and asked without raising his head. Hearing that the fat old man on the opposite side didn't say anything, he raised his head, but saw that the little two who collected the money had come over at some point. The overly clever Xiao Er actually rushed to say: "We have a lot of pilgrims in Eagle Peak Temple, that is, there are few guests today......
Without waiting for this guy to finish speaking, Wang Fulin put down his chopsticks and interrupted: "When I haven't been to your Eagle Peak Temple, can't you?" That statue of Sakyamuni is indeed a must in Beijing, but this vegetarian food is also a must in Beijing, not to mention anything else, fifty wen a bowl, you are a fool to be a pilgrim? Shopkeeper, let's be honest, how much does this vegetarian restaurant pay you a month? β
......The fat old man was a little confused, but he still replied, but he didn't want Wang Fulin to reach out directly into the bag and take it out, but it was a silver ticket that was slapped on the table.
"Come with me in a moment, and I'll give you so much pay. In addition, the remaining ten taels are the incense money I gave to Washmine Temple. β
The young man was about to object, but when he saw the silver ticket, he immediately shut his mouth. The fat old man almost stared out his eyes, seeing that Wang Fulin ate a bowl of somen noodles cleanly, hooked his hand and instructed him to go out, he only hesitated for a moment, and saw that the young man looked at himself with ridicule on his face, thinking that when he came today, from running to washing dishes and vegetables, all of them looked at their noses and not noses, and their eyes were not eyes, and they clearly looked down on him, who used to be outside the stall, and he finally followed Wang Fulin, an old diner who often visited and chased here today.
It wasn't until he left the Suzhai Pavilion and then out of the Eagle Peak Temple that he heard a few words that stunned him.
"I paid you to be a cook, and I went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to open a small stove on Guangdong Road, just take care of the noodles. One day I leave office, if I am a Beijing official, you will follow me wherever I go. If it's a foreign official, I'll give you another place to settle!" β
Judging from Zhang Hong's finding himself today, it is nothing more than using some spies, if he does one set of mouths and another set, it is rare for him to find a cook with the right appetite, and he loses people for himself afterwards, wouldn't it be a sin? Besides, he is not afraid that someone will impeach him again for such trivial reasons!
PS: Yesterday I was on my birthday, and I went to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends, and I played for a day, so I'm sorry, today is still one watch, and tomorrow is two changes on Monday (to be continued.) )
