Since he has already expressed his heart in front of Chen Wei, a boss who can drill camps and be good at stammering, it is naturally impossible for Wang Fulin to procrastinate and not give Wang Zhen a clear statement. A foreign man of the Ministry of Literature and Selection, and the beauty of the future to make up for the beauty of the Scholar Division, that is extremely precious, I don't know how many people are drooling while aiming to win, without him as the biggest competitor, how much favor is such a lack to others?

Of course, when he took his wife Xiaobei to visit Wang Zhen and his wife on Hugh Muri, and faced this hot servant in the study, he would definitely not be as straightforward as he was when he met Chen Wei before, let alone be so utilitarian, but after going around in a big circle on other things, he turned back to this topic.

"I was extremely moved by the matter of the Ministry of Literature and Anthology mentioned by Shaozai before, but I have encountered so many things these days, and after thinking about it, I am afraid that I will not be competent."

Wang Zhen is used to Wang Fulin, who comes to visit the door from time to time, and is a little grateful to Xiaobei who often comes to the door. After all, he has been a foreign official for a long time, his wife has been in the capital for a short time, and he is not good at communicating, his daughter is married, and his daughter-in-law is a saw-mouthed gourd, so he can't say anything in front of his mother-in-law. Therefore, at this time, in the face of the little friend who had forgotten his year, he was originally extremely relaxed, and he was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize what Wang Fulin was talking about, his eyes were condensed, and he scolded angrily: "Yuanfu didn't think you were incompetent, and you retreated yourself?" ”

"Shaozai, my biggest advantage is that I am very self-aware, and my ability is not in daily affairs, but in quickly cutting through the chaos to deal with some complicated situations. Moreover, I have not been in office for a long time, and I have not met many people, so it is impossible to write down all those capable officials in my pocket, let alone put the most suitable candidates on each official vacancy. On the contrary, only in a position like the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is about to spray people at every turn, or to spray people against people, can our side exert its greatest combat effectiveness. It's funny to say that the last thing I wanted to do in the past was to be a speech officer, but now I think the most suitable position for me is a speech officer. ”

Originally, he had a stomach to reprimand Wang Fulin, but after hearing this explanation, Wang Zhen, who had already deeply experienced Wang Fulin's combat effectiveness in the past half a year since entering the dynasty, suddenly fell silent.

Whether it is a literary selection or a foreign officer, what you want is balance, what you want is to be with the mud, what you want is the toughness to resist fighting, and it is best not to make enemies everywhere. From this point of view, when he recommended Wang Fulin to Zhang Juzheng before, he seemed to take it for granted. But Zhang Juzheng didn't object, did he also think that Wang Fulin would definitely implement his will to the end, and promote it from the seventh grade to the fifth grade or even the fifth grade, which can be regarded as a means to repay his efforts?

"You...... Alas! ”

Wang Zhen rubbed his temples with a little headache, thinking that he had always regarded Wang Fulin as a candidate for a member, and now he had to find another helper, but it was really a little tricky. Zhang Juzheng's side naturally has other candidates who can be put in the Ministry of Officials, the problem is that he is only Zhang Juzheng last year, although he has to be reused, but some people do not think so, he is not sure that the people under those people have arrived in the Department of Literature and Selection, and he, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, can be like an arm. Seeing Wang Fulin sitting there with an apologetic face, looking so honest and honest, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Then you can find me someone who is enough to replace you?" ”

Wang Fulin thought that Wang Zhan would accept his explanation more happily, but he didn't expect Wang Seal to throw such a question, and after snorting haha, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Where do I know a few people, Shaozai asked me to recommend, isn't this difficult for some strong people?" I can't recommend Cheng Naixuan to you, right? ”

Seeing that Wang Zhen was slightly stunned, and then thoughtfully began to consider the possibility of this matter, Wang Fulin was startled, and hurriedly interrupted: "I was just joking just now, Xiao Cheng and I are the same year as the same country, and we are friends, I can't harm him." The affairs of this Anthology Division should be steady and careful, Xiao Cheng is very arrogant, and besides, he was only transferred back to Ren Huke last year, and he said before that he would have to sharpen it for a while......"

Wang Zhen and Cheng Naixuan have also met a few times, and they have a good impression of this hearty and laughing young man, but as soon as Wang Fulin explained this, he knew that Wang Fulin did not deliberately block the future of his friend, and a place like the Wen Xuan Division was indeed not very suitable for Cheng Naixuan. Moreover, Kedao Kedao, the Sixth Branch Corridor is more expensive than the seat of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is not a very good choice to go to the Anthology Division. However, this did not mean that he let Wang Fulin go, and immediately said half-truthfully: "Anyway, before Yuanfu comes back, you should think about it." You must know that recommending meritocracy is also the function of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! ”

Since they are not in the same official office, the probability of Cheng Naixuan and Wang Fulin taking a break at the same time is naturally very low, not to mention that he heard Wang Fulin ask for two days of sick leave before, and now that Shi Yingyue is in the middle of the matter, he is even busier. When he came back from the palace in the evening and went to Wang's mansion after dinner, he learned that Wang Fulin rejected Wang Zhen and did not plan to go to the Wenxuan Division, but planned to continue to nest in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Wang Fulin's forehead.

"Don't have a fever? Who doesn't know that even the head of the Anthology Division is a first-class fat shortage, let alone a foreign man who may replace Langzhong in the future? Didn't you plan to move your nest before, why did you change your mind? ”

In front of Cheng Naixuan, Wang Fulin did not use the previous reason for Wang Zhen, but directly said the meaning of Tian Yi, the head of the clerical room. As a result, Cheng Dagongzi immediately smiled and said: "It's really good, it turns out that you have the emperor's blue eyes!" Also, whether it is the Six Branch Corridor, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the palm prints are all given to the matter or the Imperial History, and they will be released after five or six years, and the Shaoqing of the fourth or fifth grade will be stable. ”

Wang Fulin ignored the ridicule, but coughed dryly and said: "I also rejected the good thing of you going to the Anthology Division for you, if you complain, it's not too late to scold now." ”

"Ahh You have no conscience! After Cheng Naixuan finished speaking, he slapped his chest, but the fist was retracted as soon as he touched Wang Fulin's clothes. He blew angrily into his fist, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Which of us is with whom, if you know me, you have resigned, I can't do the work of this anthology division, and I am not so official." Besides, my father-in-law has been working in the Hanlin Academy for so many years, and now he has only four or five grades with part-time jobs, what do I think of if I move too fast? But you don't seem to be very happy with the emperor's attention? ”

There are no brothers in the family, Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan have been friends better than brothers for many years, although he can't say those rebellious words directly, but he still sighed: "How many years have Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng served the emperor?" Zhang Whale is just that, the organs are exhausted, and the blame is taken by himself, but Zhang Cheng is actually very innocent. But now it is obvious that the emperor doesn't want either. The people around you who get along day and night are still like this, let alone foreign officials? I have always been very selfish, I don't have the heart to be a famous minister, I only think about my daughter-in-law and children, so the emperor values it, but for me, it is a heavy burden. “

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng were deposed as the net army, and the other was moved to Nanjing to garrison, others don't know what happened, but Cheng Naixuan knew a rough story from Wang Fulin's mouth, and he was able to realize the coldness of the little emperor through this incident. Although he had read history since he was a child, he knew that most kings were people with this temperament, but when he thought of what Tian Yi had brought to Wang Fulin, he still sensed a hidden crisis.

The little emperor has just taken over the government, Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant, and most of the emperor's teacher, the little emperor is thinking about seizing power?

In order to liven up the atmosphere, he simply diverted the topic and said: "Who makes you win all battles and looks so conspicuous, and if you are like me, no one cares!" ”

As soon as Naixuan arrived at the Sixth Branch Corridor, he received a task that made him very reluctant, and he was on duty in the Household Branch Straight Room of the Sixth Branch Corridor that night. Among so many Beijing officials, only the cabinet and the officials of the Six Departments Corridor located in Miyagi will have this opportunity to stay in Miyagi. It's just that for this kind of seemingly special good thing, Cheng Naixuan, who has experienced it several times, really doesn't have a big cold. The new house adjacent to his and Wang Fulin's family has been renovated and rebuilt, and it is comfortable and spacious, where can it be compared with such a small and dilapidated straight house in the palace? Not to mention, the day of his daughter-in-law's labor is getting closer and closer!

There are so many people in the six department corridors, and it is natural that there can be one per subject on duty at night, but two people on duty every night, in addition to Cheng Naixuan that night, there is also a military department that he is not familiar with. Although this is the south of the palace city, it is far away from the east and west six palaces, and the officials on duty at night can only move in and out of the company, and Cheng Naixuan, who can't sleep, still got up and walked out of the straight room, standing under the eaves to watch the stars. In the deep palace, the rattle of the world's peace came from afar, and he heard it from afar, but he knew that it was just the unlucky palace maids being punished, and he couldn't help but exhale softly.

One world and two brothers, when he thought that when he first entered school and Wang Fulin were at the end of the list, he didn't expect that he would be able to have today, he expected that his father who was extremely capable, and he didn't expect that he could really be admitted to the Jinshi, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in less than twenty, even if it was the top three, it was regarded as the ancestor of Cheng Jiaguangzong. But as soon as he stepped into the official career, he realized that Jinshi was just a starting point, and if he was not careful, he might not be able to get up. It's like Wang Fulin refusing the beauty of the Wenxuan Division Wailang for him, who knew that when he was joking and punching that punch, he was reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

The thought of balancing the relationship between all parties, dealing with the requests of all parties, pretending to be a grandson in front of his boss and an uncle in front of his subordinates, he had a headache! Look at the current Dali Temple Qing Lu Guangzu, how conscientious he was in the Wenxuan Shilang at the beginning, but because the official was too good, Zhu Heng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was jealous, and as a result, Lu Guangzu was impeached by the imperial historian Sun Piyang for the crime of being proficient, and ended up idle!

"Wang Fulin is really a good friend, let me do all the easiest and riskless work...... I still want to help him share some of the burden when I stay in the capital. A good brother is meant to be a lifelong thing......"

Cheng Naixuan muttered a few words in a very low voice, and at this moment, he heard a sound like thunder coming from a few rooms away. He first instinctively looked up at the sky, and then couldn't help but move over, and when he saw through the branch window, he saw that the guy in official uniform inside was lying on his back on the Taishi chair, sleeping heavily, snoring like thunder, he couldn't help but touch his nose, and seriously considered whether he should go back to sleep too.

However, the Six Branch Corridor has to receive the notebook that Zhu has approved sent out by the inner court, and these are different from the inscription, most of them are official affairs that are not their own duties, and most of them do not go through the General Administration, but go directly to the Huiji Gate to hand over to the eunuchs in charge of the gate, which often causes an uproar, and will only be made public when they are sent out to the Six Branch Corridor for copying, which is a major event that is likely to be encountered when on duty at night. So, since he was not sleepy, he wandered around for a while, and then returned to the straight room and sat behind the table in a daze.

It wasn't until the night watch hit the third watch that Cheng Naixuan was a little confused, but at this moment, a soft voice came from outside: "Cheng Zhike?" ”

It won't be the middle of the night, and you will really let yourself run into something big!

Cheng Naixuan was taken aback, and hurriedly responded: "Here, who and what?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw the curtain of the door raised high, but someone came in unhurriedly. When he saw the person coming clearly, Cheng Dagongzi almost didn't stare out his eyes, and he was stunned for a while, and then he jumped up. Fortunately, the Taishi chair behind him was heavy, otherwise he would have to make a big noise. However, he really can't be blamed for being so out of shape, it turned out to be Feng Bao, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies and the number one person in the palace!

After getting up in a panic to greet him, he was a little unsure of how to salute, and in the end, he simply said deeply: "I've seen Gonggong Feng." ”

Feng Bao was in the palace at this time? And not in the Yamen of the Imperial City, or in the riverside straight house, but in the palace? Could it be that according to the legend, Feng Bao had been staying in the hut to the east of the Loyalty Room of the Daoxin Pavilion before, which was used as a straight room when the celebrant approved the red? But the return door is locked, how did Feng Bao get in?

What is the situation of the imperial city in this year, the ministers don't know much, and Cheng Naixuan's fun is to make up the general outline of the palace city from the words of others, so at this time, facing Feng Baochun coming at night, he doesn't want people to think about this kind of unimportant question for what purpose. What made him relieved was that Feng Bao obviously didn't care about his etiquette, and nodded slightly before he said: "Here, you are the host and I are the guest, no need to be polite." ”

"Then the subordinate will be offended." Cheng Naixuan has always been broad-hearted, and after straightening his waist, he saw that Feng Bao said this, but he sat on his main seat, he didn't care much, looked around, picked a guest chair and sat down, his waist was straight, and he looked like he was listening to the instructions.

Feng Bao only heard Xu Jue repeatedly mention that Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan were in the same year, and in addition to being friends, there was also a layer of in-law relationship, and after arriving in Beijing, he also became a neighbor, and he always remembered such a person. The Sixth Branch Corridor is a close minister of the Son of Heaven like the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate, and his standing class in the Great Dynasty is very special, so he and Cheng Naixuan have met a few times, but the kind of glimpse of the people is completely different from the single meeting at this time.

He was used to seeing all kinds of officials, many of whom were young and vigorous, and had a high opinion of themselves, so he was not surprised by Cheng Naixuan's calmness. After sitting down, he asked with a smile: "The Six Branches Corridor is important, you don't ask me why I stepped in privately?" ”

When Cheng Naixuan found out that the person who came was Feng Bao, he felt that this meeting tonight was unusual. At this time, seeing that Feng Bao actually asked himself this, he scratched his head and said: "Probably because the lower official thinks that his father-in-law is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and there must be something important to do on this trip, so he completely forgot about this section." Since the father-in-law said this, it seems that the lower official was negligent, and he dared to ask why the father-in-law came, but he had to go to the lower official to inform the military department who was on duty at night to give the matter?
