As Xu Wenchang expected, Zeng Xingwu thought about it repeatedly after receiving Qin Lin's news, and always doubted it, so he went to Qin Lin's mansion to wait, but he couldn't wait for the left or right, thinking that all his Jiangling Party colleagues would meet at Pan Sheng's mansion, so he had to leave in a hurry.

No wonder Zeng Xingwu, he did work with Qin Lin to handle the huge corruption case of Yang Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, he knows Qin Lin's ability well, and he knows Zhang Juzheng's appreciation of Qin Lin, but after all, Zhang Siwei has been an unswerving Jiangling Party cadre in the past ten years, and even Zhang Juzheng's right-hand man in the cabinet.

However, at this time, I am afraid that Pan Sheng is already writing a recital for resignation as a scholar, and all colleagues are also discussing the direction of progress with Zhang Siwei at the helm in the future! What to do...... Zeng Shengwu was anxious in his heart, and came to Pan Sheng's mansion as quickly as possible.

As he expected, Shen Shixing, Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan, Li Youzi, Wang Zhan, and other Jiangling party cadres gathered together to discuss the future direction enthusiastically.

Wang Zhu was full of confidence and said loudly: "Although Brother Pan unfortunately left his post, he is still in charge of the power of the imperial examination of the Ministry of Rites, Brother Feng Pan is the first assistant, and the elder of the Shen Pavilion is full of help, and in a few days he will also enter the cabinet or Yu Youding, and with a little effort, it will definitely make the teacher's last wish come true and create a prosperous era of the Wanli Dynasty!" ”

Li Youzi also said: "I used to feel that Brother Feng Pan was a little out of place, but now that I think about it, I didn't put it ...... sincerity."

Because Pan Sheng wrote the recital of resigning from the first college student, Zhang Siwei did not come, lest it seem as if he was urging Pan Sheng to resign, but others were not here, and the ministers of the Jiangling Party still praised him, especially Wang Zhen, who was simple.

Zeng Xingwu was very anxious in his heart, originally judging from his reason and his friendship with Zhang Siwei for more than ten years, he was just a little bit more thoughtful at most, and there was no evidence for Qin Lin's statement; But if you don't say Qin Lin's words, I am really uneasy in my heart, as if a big mistake is about to be made.

Finally, he couldn't help it, and seeing that this place was all the real henchmen of the Gangneung Party, he drove away the servants and maids, and closed the door of the flower hall with his own hands.

"Brother Zeng, you, what are you doing here? Robbery? Wang Guoguang made a joke and laughed first.

But seeing Zeng Xingwu's serious demeanor, everyone knew that it was not a joke, and even Pan Sheng, who was struggling to write, stopped writing.

Zeng Xingwu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Listen to me, old gentlemen, Zhang Siwei may have a problem!" There is news that his association with the old party headed by Yan Qing may not be conducive to the new deal! ”

What, you didn't take the wrong medicine, did you? Wang Guoguang, Li Youzi and others stared wide-eyed, as if they had heard some fantasy.

Wang Zhen couldn't help but say, "Brother Zeng, aren't you joking?" Where are you and who are you listening to? ”

"I—I can't say it," Zeng Xingwu's face turned red, his lips moved twice, and he asked again, "Don't you notice a little clue?" When the Taishi was there, he felt that Zhang Siwei was a bit of a yang and yin, I am afraid that his attitude towards the Taishi and the new deal is not as simple as it seems! ”

"Yes, Zhang Siwei did have a disagreement with Taishi, but it was only a small dispute, and he never disobeyed it in a big way!" Wang Zhan argued unconvinced, thought about it, and said: "Zhang Siwei was promoted to the cabinet by the Taishi, just like we have all received the kindness of the Taishi, is there still a mistake in the Taishi's vision?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded again and again, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the dynasty for ten years, almost invincible, and solidly created the Zhongxing situation in the first ten years of the Wanli Dynasty, which is undeniable by anyone, to say that Zhang Taishi saw the wrong person, and was deceived by Zhang Siwei, and the Jiangling Party cadres could not accept it both emotionally and intellectually.

Zhang Xueyan frowned and slowed down his tone: "Lao Zeng, it's not that we can't believe you, if someone suddenly tells us that you are actually the inside line planted by the old party in our middle, we won't believe it either." Where did you get the news? Say it, let's take a closer look. ”

Zeng Xingwu blushed, gritted his teeth fiercely, and simply let go: "It was Qin Lin who told me!" ”

Uh~~ All the ministers of the Jiangling Party were dumbfounded, and after a while, Wang Zhan laughed: "Zeng Shangshu is really, really...... Alas, let the lower officials say what is good? When Tai was born, he often said that there was no truth in Qin's three sentences, and he had never talked nonsense in vain, and his words could be taken seriously? ”

Zeng Xingwu was a little unconvinced after all: "Qin Lin judged the yin and yang, and said that his eyes were like electricity, and he must have evidence to dare to say so." ”

"Brother Xian of the Three Provinces, it's not that we can't trust Qin Lin," Zhang Xueyan shook his head, pressed Zeng Xingwu on the chair, and said with a smile: "Handling cases is handling cases, and major affairs of the court are major affairs of the court, Qin Xiaoyou is an excellent person, but after all, he is only in his twenties......

Civil officials pay the most attention to qualifications, I am the fifth year of Wanli Ding Chouke, you are the eighth year of Wanli Gengchen Branch, I am the old-timer, you are the last to learn, and the Ming Dynasty has been consistent for two hundred years.

Like Qin Lin is young, and he is a military minister in brocade clothes, although he has handled a lot of cases, made great contributions to the imperial court, and is also quite valued by the ministers of the Jiangling Party, but when it comes to major affairs of the court, the ministers still do not think that he is qualified to participate.

Zhang Juzheng is the leader of the Jiangling Party, his sons are one layer behind, Zhang Juzheng is just cultivating Zhang Jingxiu's brothers, focusing on ten or twenty years later, let Zhang Maoxiu come to be the leader of the Jiangling Party now, Wang Guoguang and Zeng Xingwu can listen to him?

The son is still like this, and the son-in-law is even worse, after all, in the minds of most people at this time, the son-in-law is an outsider after all, not to mention Qin Lin, this guy, marrying the daughter of the prime minister's mansion seems to be still relying on tricks...... This is also the reason why when Zhang Juzheng was dying, he kept his true favorite heir a secret, and let Qin Lin plan the layout ten years later! Lao Taishan knew very well in his heart that letting his son-in-law take over the Jiangling Party now was just to make the Jiangling Party fall apart immediately, he was the leader of the Jiangling Party, not the emperor of the Jiangling Party, and everyone was like-minded, and they were by no means his courtiers and minions.

Zeng Xingwu was speechless by all his old friends, he was already suspicious, and his doubts were difficult to dispel, so he couldn't help but say it, and when he saw that all his old friends were very determined, he no longer insisted on his opinions, but his heart seemed to be always pressed with a big stone, and he felt extremely uncomfortable...... Qin Lin asked the Jinyi official academy patrolling the street on the street, and knew that Zeng Shengwu had gone to Pan Sheng's mansion, so he hurried over.

He rode on the back of a tall horse, rode high and saw far, and there was still a mile away from the road, when he saw the middle gate of Pan's mansion wide open, and all the ministers and ministers said goodbye and took a sedan chair to disperse.

Qin Lin hurriedly added a few more whips, and Zeng Xingwu was walking this way in a sedan chair, when he stopped him.

"Brother Qin," Zeng Xingwu tugged at his dark beard, his gaze wandering a little.

Qin Lin rushed forward in a hurry and grabbed Zeng Xingwu's sleeve: "Zeng Shangshu, what's wrong, has Mr. Pan changed his mind?" ”

Zeng Xingwu shook his head, his smile was bitter, emotion and reason told him that Zhang Siwei had no problem, but his intuition told him that Qin Lin was probably right.

"Take me, take me to Mr. Pan!" Qin Lin dragged Zeng Xingwu towards Pan's mansion and pulled this military secretary to a stumbling point.

All passers-by who recognized these two big names stuck out their tongues when they saw this: General Qin is really the mastermind behind the defeat of Feng Bao, see that he is pulling the book of the military department and leaving!

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin let go!" Zeng Shengwu struggled to break free of Qin Lin, licked his lips, and said with a wry smile: "Go now, maybe it's too late, Mr. Pan, Mr. Pan, he wrote the chapter half an hour ago, and now I'm afraid it has been sent to the General Administration." ”

One step slower! Qin Lin grabbed his hair in frustration.

Zeng Xingwu silently watched Qin Lin get on the horse, whipped the horse, and beat the horse away, in addition to the uneasiness in his heart, he felt a little more guilty...... "I knew it would be like this," Qin Mansion study, Xu Wenchang sighed with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness.

It is impossible for Qin Lin to have solid evidence, in the current situation, Zhang Siwei and Yan Qing are both ministers of the imperial court, can he still find the letter written by Zhang Siwei to Yan Qing, or find any witnesses? It is inevitable that the Gangneung Party will not believe him.

In fact, Qin Lin also got the news from Zhang Cheng, coupled with the sporadic information on the two lines of Jinyiwei and the Female Medical Hall, which confirmed the conclusion that Zhang Siwei had a problem.

The point is, he knows, he believes, but others don't! The youngest of the ministers of the Jiangling Party is nearly forty years old, and Qin Lin is in his early twenties, and he has no evidence, how can he believe it?

"Old Taishan, old Taishan, why don't you have a good voice for me, and always say that I don't have half a sentence in three sentences?" Qin Lin scratched his scalp helplessly, isn't it, if Zhang Juzheng told Wang Guoguang before his death, saying that Qin Lin was honest and never played tricks, he had to tell the truth and tell the truth, don't disturb, and the ministers of the Jiangling Party would have a higher degree of trust in him!

Xu Wenchang stroked his gray beard, looked at Qin Lin and smiled: "If you go up to the mountain, you will eventually meet a tiger, Chief Qin, you usually lie and deceive people and play tricks to make your heart and eyes, and others will not believe you if you tell the truth now, and you will be punished." ”

Qin Lin pursed his lips, and the old man Xu could still laugh, alas, it would be good if Zhang Zixuan was here at this time, she must have a way to persuade those uncles.

It's a pity that the children of the Zhang family helped the coffin to return to Jiangling, Zhang Zixuan was not in Beijing, and Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu brothers were also not there.

"Actually, this matter is not completely unbeneficial," Xu Wenchang thought for a long time, and said slowly: "The Jiangling Party naturally doesn't believe in General Qin now, but when they suffer losses, the so-called eating a trench grows a wisdom, and you let them obey their orders, it will be much easier, and it will be beneficial for you to take over the layout of the Jiangling Party." ”

Xu Wenchang's words have their own truth, the gangsters of the Jiangling Party control the dynasty, one by one in important positions, the spring breeze is proud, Qin Lin, as a small character, rashly wants to take charge of the Jiangling Party, how easy it is to say! Even if there is a relationship between Zhang Juzheng's son-in-law, and the children of the Zhang family secretly help each other, it is quite difficult to achieve the goal in ten years.

It was only when the Jiangling Party suffered a loss that they believed Qin Lin's words, and at that time, Qin Lin was going to take the position, and the situation would be different.

But Qin Lin smiled bitterly, took a sip of the tea bowl, only to feel bitter in his mouth, put the tea bowl down, shook his head and said: "The problem is, I'm afraid that from now on there will be no Jiangling Party in the imperial court!" ”

"No, not really?!" Xu Wenchang stood up in shock, his sleeves crossed the table, and the tea bowl was shattered with a clang.

Even Xu Wenchang, who has been up and down for decades and has experienced setbacks and hardships, feels that it is unlikely, the new policy of Jiangling is determined to innovate, the people of the world are rejoicing, the people of Jiangling are in the dynasty, firmly controlling the government, even if Wanli suppresses them, it is impossible to change the new policy of Zhang Taishi and drive out the new party of Jiangling! Isn't that digging a self-grave for the Ming Dynasty?

Qin Lin pointed his fingers on the table, and said coldly: "Old man Xu, you can only be a master after all, after so many tribulations, you haven't understood yet?" ”

Xu Wenchang sat down in a daze, his whole body was almost paralyzed, he remembered, completely remembered: people like Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zongxian, and Qi Jiguang are not too honest, and they often have the power to schem, but they have a bottom line, because their goal is the peace of the country and the people, and it is a prosperous and prosperous world, which is the end of their efforts, and those things that are not so bright are just the twists and turns that must be passed to the end.

However, there are other people who are different, they have no right and wrong in their eyes, there is no justice, and they do not pretend to be the people at all. For example, Wang Bengu, such as Yang Zhao...... "However, I won't give up," Qin Lin squinted, his fingers bent up, and slammed on the table: "I want to destroy my Jiangling Party, dream!" ”

My Gangneung Party? Xu Wenchang, who was almost prostration, suddenly wanted to laugh, and suddenly regained his strength, Qin Lin is really cheeky, probably only a guy like him who can't be broken, smashed, or beaten can save the unmanageable situation...... It was the Huangji Gate Dynasty meeting again, and Pan Sheng, a scholar of the Jianji Palace, submitted a resign from the position of a scholar in order to avoid the melon field, and Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, repeatedly retained, but Pan Sheng had made up his mind and had to approve it.

Pan Sheng's high style and bright festival was unanimously praised by the courtiers, and those who wanted to make a big name and were ready to impeach the Imperial History, saying that Pan Sheng was recommended by Feng Bao as the first assistant and should be dismissed from his post and investigated, also quietly withdrew the chapter, and now to put the horse in hindsight, it is really worth the loss.

"In Pan Aiqing's recital, Zhang Aiqing Siwei was recommended, do the ministers think Zhang Siwei can be the first assistant?" Wanli smiled and stretched out his hand: "Please push it to the six departments and nine Qing Ting!" ”

"The minister thinks that Zhang Siwei is loyal to the country, can be an example for the ministers, and can be qualified as the first assistant!" The Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang released the first cannon.

"Weichen seconded!" "Weichen seconded!" "The ministers seconded it!"

Shen Shixing, Zhang Xueyan, Li Youzi, Wang Zhang...... The momentum of the Gangneung Party was still huge, and the voice of seconding it resounded in the court.

Qin Lin let out a long sigh, he couldn't stop all this.

In the eyes of Wanli and Zhang Siwei, there was a smile at the same time as they witnessed the prey being baited......
