Twenty rulers, compared to rod killing, is equivalent to almost no punishment. At this moment, there was silence in the hall, and no one felt that Chen Zan was pretending to be wrong, because this Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been a person with a very solemn and upright reputation, not to mention that Wang Fulin is only a nominal subordinate, and there is absolutely no private incense, even if he is a person with a personal relationship, how can this old man buy face?

At this moment, thinking of his original arrangement, Zhang Siwei, the third assistant of the cabinet, was already sweating in his vest, and after gritting his teeth, he was the first to stand up and reprimanded with a fierce voice: "As Wang Fulin said before, it is a duty to say that officials are supposed to be officials, but this dynasty has never had such an example of rumors!" As a science and technology, he should be aware of the nuances and have something to say, but he catches the wind and catches the shadows and plays the ground, and even spares no effort to describe all kinds of speculative details on the bullet, as if he has seen it with his own eyes, which is even more unusual. You are speech officials, not those storytellers, you are simply insulting the word speech official! ”

I hope that some Kedao has not yet sent the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to the General Administration!

Zhang Siwei made a start, and Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, chuckled in his heart. The reason why he used Wang Fulin to open the knife was just because Wang Fulin seemed to be Zhang Juzheng's cronies, and he just showed a flaw, with such a person, if he succeeded, he could establish his authority, and if he was unsuccessful, he could also show that he was not a puppet who followed Zhang Juzheng's footsteps. After all, in his opinion, he has been in the Ministry of Officials for several years, and he is no longer the person who was slightly qualified before and was pushed up by Zhang Juzhengqiang. Not to mention anything else, the current six Shangshu plus the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have all changed. He's the oldest!

But. He originally thought that it was Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei who were behind him. Unexpectedly, the suspicious person he noticed later was You Qi. And what he didn't expect was that Zhang Juzheng suddenly scolded You Qizhu and expelled him from the house, and then Feng Bao took people in, but they died within a few days! And such a thing actually went back to Wang Fulin, and began to set off a storm with a group of officials who bombarded Wang Fulin with a cane to kill the house slaves!

Even if he sensed that things had taken a turn for the worse, he could change his course now with Zhang Siwei behind him, but he felt unwilling. After all. This means that he has to turn his image back into Zhang Juzheng's lackey, which he is unwilling to accept no matter what, as he already intends to stand on his own. A submissive official secretary and a tough official secretary, he naturally wants to be the latter.

Zhang Han didn't say anything, nor did he tell the whole story of what had just gone out for interrogation, and Liu Yingjie couldn't remain silent. After all, among the three of them, he, the newly promoted scholar of the Criminal Department, has the least qualifications, and he seems to have nothing to do with Wang Fulin. But really speaking, Wang Fulin traveled to Jiliao at the beginning. It was in the place under the jurisdiction of him, the governor of Jiliao. However, compared to Chen Zhan, who has completely cut off personal relationships. Although he is also extremely serious in doing things, he is a very flexible person, otherwise he would not have a tacit understanding with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and he would not be able to tolerate such a prominent governor as Zhang Xueyan.

Because of this, at this moment, he was even more careful than Chen Zhan, and he meticulously retold the details of the interrogation as they were. At the end, he said: "The family members of these two people were somehow also at the palace gate, and when they found that the two were safe and sound, they went up to hug and cry after being dumbfounded. According to the minister's inquiry, Qian Ruyi, the head of Guangdong Dao, deliberately found them before, and planned to let them beat the drums if there was any disharmony. ”

When Liu Yingjie said this, Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi on the side, saw that Chen Zhan, the imperial historian of the left capital, had blue muscles in his temples, and he was obviously angry. Knowing that Chen Zan didn't say it just now, he was ashamed that there was such a scum in the middle of the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and Liu Yingjie was a selfless duke, so he was the last to step forward and repeat in the eyes of the many people around. After he also affirmed the testimony of Chen Zan and Liu Yingjie, there was finally a small commotion among the ministers in the hall, but it soon quieted down.

Everyone knows that it's just the calm before the storm. Because just like Wang Fulin scolded chasing after the wind and reversing black and white before, the nature of this matter is really too bad. Kedao Yanguan is not a Jinyi guard, but in that bullet seal, he swore that the Wang family transported the body in the middle of the night, how could it be buried in the wasteland, could it be that the Wang family's left and right neighbors have an ear to report God? Moreover, after going to the sparseness, he also went to find the family of the bitter master, does that mean that if the bigwigs in the DPRK and China want to defend Wang Fulin, these guys will not hesitate to make things bigger, in the name of not being afraid of power?

"It's so unbelievable!"

"It's unheard of, and it will be punished severely!"

"If you don't vigorously rectify this kind of atmosphere, if there are any more imitators in the future, won't it become a joke in history?"

At this time, among the officials standing on the Wenhua Palace, there are a small half of them from Kedao, and this small half of them can still maintain restraint, but among the majority of the people, those who have been bombarded by Kedao have resonated because of Wang Fulin's previous rebuke of Qian Ruyi and others, and one by one they stood up and impassionedly stated their interests, demanding that Qian Ruyi and others be severely punished to set an example. In addition to the old hatred in Yixue's heart, Zhang Juzheng has already made his attitude clear, and Zhang Siwei's mouthpiece has also jumped out.

Seeing the result of this reversal, Wang Fulin secretly thought in his heart that he would become a king and lose a villain. If you show your flaws today, I'm afraid that you will also be chased and beaten. However, when he saw that Chen Zhan, the imperial historian of Zuodu, was as tired as if he was ten years old, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. To say that when Chen Zan summoned him after returning to Beijing, although he said a few words, he also had a kind reminder, but his reward was to take a vacation for 20 days first, and then take sick leave for a month after 20 days.

However, even if he laid a trap, if others didn't jump down, there would be no today, but who let someone like to pinch him like to pinch him as a soft persimmon? And when things have developed to this point, it is no longer that he can jump out and pretend to be a good person, in that case, he will not use this incident to block the gun for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, but obvious speculation.

Now you have to pretend to be a good person and plead with Emperor Wanli. Forgive those who speak to them. At least it has to be the level of the three rank of the upper hall and the upper official. And not a small role like him. Among them, it definitely does not include Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, who were splashed with dirty water after the death of You Qi, I don't know who had the courage to hit the muzzle of the gun and use the future of the official position to win the gratitude of the Kedao official group.

"Your Majesty, reversing black and white and alarmist, although this is hateful and hateful, if you blindly punish it severely. I'm afraid that the official will be jealous from now on and will no longer dare to say anything! ”

When such a remark that was very different from others suddenly came, Wang Fulin looked sideways and recognized the old man, who was the former secretary of the Criminal Department and now replaced Tan Lun, Wang Chonggu. Among the many officials in the palace, Wang Chonggu's age is second only to Chen Zan of the Imperial History of Zuodu, and he resolutely stood up at this time, quite a kind of old man seeking the country. However, Wang Fulin knows that in these days. Anyone who stands in the way of Zhang Juzheng is a mantis arm, and Wang Chonggu is by no means stupid. Instead, he should be a wise man who judges the situation, why was he the first to jump out?

"Ridiculous, is it possible to let such people corrupt the atmosphere, and in the future, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Science Corridors will all have some people who only dare to stare at the backyard of other people's homes, and play some trivial and selfish things all day long?"

refuted Wang Chonggu sharply, but Zhang Siwei's heart was full of countless thoughts. He didn't know why Wang Chonggu chose to come out to fight in the ring right now, in his opinion, with his own reprimand, some people who had been arranged would definitely retreat in the face of difficulties, and no longer dare to talk about the rumors that Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao had poisoned You Qi, so that the matter was barely revealed, but Wang Chonggu suddenly defended these officials, but it suddenly added a lot of uncertainty to the matter. But he has always trusted Wang Chonggu very much, and he knows that he will not be untargeted, so he can only grit his teeth and change the established plan according to his uncle's speech.

For a while, I saw that the uncle and nephew were actually-for-tat with you and me, and in the end, they were so red-faced that other people couldn't intervene and didn't dare to interject.

When it came to this, Wang Fulin finally tasted it. Just like he and Wang Daokun acted in a so-called anti-purpose play, Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, the uncle and nephew, were even more exaggerated, and they turned their faces directly in this Wenhua Palace, just afraid that even if some clues were found afterwards, Zhang Siwei only had to push Wang Chonggu's head with all his brains, then he would be able to avoid a political suspicion, and afterwards Zhang Siwei lost strong reinforcements in the court.

What's more, if Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the military department, stepped down after not long in office, he would be idle and give office, which would be extremely bad for the prestige of the imperial court, and he would always stay for a while longer, and delay it for a day.

It's really not in vain today......

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the main seat, watched with great interest the quarrel between the dignified second assistant and the military department Shangshu, and saw that Wang Chonggu raised his voice at the same time, he actually rolled up his sleeves, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he couldn't wait for the next moment the two of them immediately scuffled. After all, these two are also high-ranking officials who are qualified to participate in the feast, and they usually only read a serious book and are sanctimonious, how can they ever see them like those eunuchs when they fight each other, you stab me, I stab you, I want to pinch out my brains? Of course, the eunuch argued that he couldn't see it originally, but it was the blessing of Zhang Whale, and he hid from a distance to watch the excitement twice, but he never dared to let the Queen Mother and Feng Bao know.

After watching the two argue for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Juzheng shouted: "It's enough, carefully lose the etiquette in front of the emperor, do you want to learn from Xu Ming?" ”

Xu Ming's face turned green in the middle of the incident, and he deeply regretted that it was obviously none of his business today, but he had to stand up and fight Wang Fulin in the ring, so he trapped himself. But when he found that Zhang Juzheng didn't look at himself and continued to talk, he was a little relieved. In any case, he will not be more unlucky than Qian Ruyi and others.

"The minister had written many times in the past, asking the first emperor to forgive the ministers, but that was because these officials of science and Taoism only used inappropriate words when they denounced the evils of the times, or did not know how to avoid them, so as to anger the first emperor, at least these people did not distort right and wrong, chase after the wind and shadows, and make such jokes today. If Qian Ruyi and the others are not severely punished, in the future, will the palace want all the trivial things in their own families to be taken up and pointed at? This generation can belittle foreign officials and counties, so that they can know well what it means to be down-to-earth and what is to mislead the country! ”

Unexpectedly directly degraded the county?

Hearing this, Qian Ruyi and several other science and Taoist officials looked like earth, and even Wang Fulin couldn't help but take a breath lightly, secretly thinking that this was really ruthless! From supervising the imperial history to the outside of the sub-patrol road has been called unsatisfactory, and sending the county order to the left is even more ironclad, and if it is given to a fellow intellectual, it is simply a death sentence for the official journey, and Zhang Juzheng directly drove people to the county magistrate to serve as the second official, which is even disdainful of people who really have a little ambition!

"Accurate!" Emperor Wanli watched it lively today, and he was in a very good mood, so he didn't want to think about it at this time, so he responded, "Just like Mr. Zhang's play, the cabinet will immediately vote for it, and the celebrant will approve it!" ”

Although the Son of Heaven favors Zhang Juzheng, this is something that many people know, but now the Wanli Emperor is not in power, the court meeting is not a few times a month, the officials are just kowtowing from afar, playing three things in a false story, where is it like now, can witness the close relationship between the young lord and the minister? At this moment, there is no one who dares to come forward like Wang Chonggu before, and even until Emperor Wanli drove back to the palace and the officials dispersed, there were still people who failed to come back to their senses, and there were even more people who sighed in private.

As for Wang Fulin, he was extremely "lucky" to be summoned to Zhang Juzheng's cabinet again. Because Lord Shoufu has a lot of opportunities, there are few officials below the third grade who can come here alone in the past, so when he followed Zhang Juzheng into the door, he could clearly detect that several Zhongshu people cast envious, jealous and hateful glances at him.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng sat down, he said bluntly: "Say, did you mean it this time?" ”

"Yes." Wang Fulin also knew that he couldn't hide it from Zhang Juzheng, so he admitted it directly, anyway, he knew very well that Zhang Juzheng asked him to write the so-called 50,000-word Chen Song in front of the emperor, and he was ready-made, "I heard that my neighbors were suddenly replaced before and after I returned to Beijing, I was always afraid that the wall had ears, and before Feng Gonggong and Yuan Fu had cleaned up the family rules, I thought about whether I should follow suit and act to see if someone was watching my family's movements." Who knew that this bad premonition was so accurate, and it was targeted again. Please also ask Yuan Fu to be gracious, let me find a separate yamen to stay, today I have offended all the officials of the science and Taoism. ”

"You also know that the offense is over? After today, which yamen do you say will dare to ask you? ”

"Let's go to the head office of the state and county......"

Hearing Wang Fulin's low muttering, Zhang Juzheng smiled, and then said lightly: "Those who have the talent to govern the prefecture and county, all of them have sharpened their heads and want to be Beijing officials, but you know how to hide and be idle." But you don't want to be satisfied, Chen Yuquan, the imperial history of the left capital, has to bear a reputation for negligence because of you, and since you accuse the official of only knowing how to chase after the wind and catch shadows, and only know how to focus on private and trivial matters, then go and do it yourself. The supervision of the imperial history of Guangdong Province, I will inform Chen Yuquan, except for the patrol press, including Qian Ruyi, all five people, will be released in the near future, you give me the responsibility of taking charge of the imperial history. ”

“！”

Wang Fulin simply felt like he was going crazy. Going around and around, Zhang Juzheng not only did not plan to transfer him out of the system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also planned to directly let him take a group of recruits to take charge of Guangdong Dao? How can this make those Kedao officials embarrassed, and how can he be embarrassed by his own feelings?

"As for your uncle Wang Daoguan, he will be with the other Jinshi who have been released at that time."

Although he didn't say where to put it, Wang Fulin finally settled down.

PS: Just one more. Speaking of Zhang Juzhengren's death, I think of King Qin Huiwen who killed Shang Ying but followed the new law, and the difference between Yongjun and Ming Lord lies in this (to be continued. )
