After saying this, Cai Nan glanced at Wang Tong, Wang Tong was stunned, and said in a loud voice: "Avoid it!" ”

Someone outside agreed, and after a burst of footsteps, someone greeted him from afar, which was that the people outside the house had already avoided it, and Cai Nan was by Wang Tong's side, so he naturally understood this rule. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Tong's expression did not change, Zhang Cheng had something to say to himself when he was dying, what to say, although the relationship between the two sides was close, but at this moment, he couldn't think of what he would say.

"Gonggong Zhang said, you have made great contributions, but the credit is too great, you still have to be humble and forbearing, the wind is light and light, how can the children and descendants have a future like Wei Guogong, but if you don't do this, beware of a catastrophe!"

"My father has done so much, but he ......."

Wang Tong opened his mouth and said, halfway through the speech but he didn't speak, but there was a wry smile on his face, Cai Nan didn't say anything anymore, in fact, Zhang Cheng said that it was a private talk, or too much official article, it didn't mean much, this kind of thing, Wang Tong was persuaded when he was in Tianjin Wei, but he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to say this when he was dying.

After being silent for a while, Wang Tong coughed and said indifferently:

"This father-in-law went to Songjiang since the Eastern Expedition to Jianzhou, and now in Songjiang is to do some livelihood and make money, Zhang Gonggong's deathbed words are also important and reasonable warnings, Wang Tong must be remembered, Wang Tong is doing now, but also in accordance with this charter, be busy, and run some for your descendants!"

Cai Nan looked at Wang Tong, although he was already the Duke of Liao, and his name had been mentioned for more than ten years in the most central place at the highest level of the Ming Dynasty, but Wang Tong was still a young man less than thirty years old, but these words seemed to be a seventy-eight-year-old man, old-fashioned.

For a while, Cai Nan didn't know what to say, so he smiled bitterly and said:

"Why ...... this?"

Wang Tong didn't speak, the two sides sat silently, Wang Tong's expression did not change, but he was a little more afraid in his heart, Cai Nan's words were to test whether his answers and performance would be reported to the palace.

The night visit was very boring, in the past, because Wang Tong and Cai Nan were familiar with each other, they were often from the south to the north, both public and private, and spoke freely, and there were indeed a lot of things that could not be said tonight.

Cai Nan sat down for a while before saying goodbye, and after returning to his room, he beat out all the people who were waiting, sat in front of the bookcase, thought for a long time, and woke up when the candle was about to burn out, hesitated for a moment, turned out a piece of paper from his belt, and looked it up and down again, as if to memorize the content on it, and after reading it, he put it on the candle flame and burned it.

Early the next morning, Zou Yi came to the door and asked straight to the point:

"Is there only that sentence left on Grandpa Zhang's side?"

Cai Nan didn't dare to slack off in front of Zou Yi, and hurriedly replied respectfully:

"Gonggong Zhang's words to the Lord Long Live have been reported, and my son doesn't dare to hide anything!"

Zou Yi waved his hand and asked:

"It's not that, it's the kind that I said to Liao Guogong, is there this sentence in private?"

Seeing the change in Cai Nan's face, Zou Yi shook his head and explained:

"Liao Guogong said it himself, don't think about it too much, Gonggong Zhang has always done everything foolproof, did he confess this sentence in private?"

"Father-in-law, that's it."

Hearing Cai Nan's answer, Zou Yi was quite strange, shook his head and muttered to himself, as if asking himself, and as if asking Cai Nan, and said in a low voice:

"According to the godfather's temperament, it shouldn't be!"

Cai Nan stood aside respectfully, silent, Zou Yi has served by Zhang Cheng's side for so many years, and he knows Zhang Cheng's style of doing things very well, but Cai Nan can't compare.

Zou Yi is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, Cai Nan is also the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and Wang Tong is the prince of Liaoguo, and the three of them came to Tianjin Wei to handle Zhang Cheng's funeral and worship the old eunuch, and the specifications of this big gift went up all of a sudden.

Li Hutou, Ma Sanbiao, Zhang Shiqiang, Sun Dahai, Gu Zibin, Ren Yuan and other leading figures from all over Tianjin Wei also want to participate.

They are not counted alone, with such a statement by Emperor Wanli, the leading figures of the inner court and the internal prison in all parts of the world have to send people or write letters to pay their respects, and some relevant powerful officials in Beijing, Beizhili, and Shandong also have to pay tribute.

Seeing them like this, the wealthy businessmen in the north of Beijing and Tianjin did not dare to slack off, at least they had to send someone to follow them, and they could enter the mourning hall to pay respects, which could be regarded as their own face, and they could be regarded as fulfilling their hearts, and they could also be regarded as showing an attitude in front of Wang Tong.

The scale of the funeral was very large, and the ceremony was extremely grand, which could be regarded as letting the world see the memorial meaning of Emperor Wanli to Zhang Cheng.

He lived in Tianjin Wei for nearly ten years, naturally not uncomfortable, can also get a full rest here, but can not rest, at the end of September after the funeral, according to Zhang Cheng's last wish in Tianjin Wei a mountain burial, Wang Tong immediately rushed to Beijing, because the Wanli Emperor and others saw him.

The Son of Heaven wants to see Wang Tong, and he can see this impatient, and the people of the world have once again confirmed that the holy family of the Duke of Liao is in full bloom, so don't speculate about anything else.

Emperor Wanli, who has not been in the court for many days, met Wang Tong at the court meeting, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, it was a banquet in the palace as usual, which was also reasonable, and the cabinet members looked at each other and shook their heads, but they were helpless.

When the minister met this time, it was supposed to be a reunion of old friends, but the funeral that had just been completed made the two of them feel quite heavy, and Emperor Wanli didn't know what to say, so he sighed halfway. Qi says:

"Xiaoliang should be allowed to go to Tianjin Wei, Zhang Banban looked at him as if he was looking at his own grandson, but he didn't expect to see him before leaving."

"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to Grandpa Zhang, and Grandpa Zhang will also feel nostalgic under Jiuquan."

Wang Tong replied politely, and Emperor Wanli shook his head, picked up the tall silver cup beside him and drank it. The wine inside, now the palace with the degree of food and clothing can be said to be a collection of things, anyway, it is nearby, Tianjin Wei's Western and national specialty goods are fresh, the purchase of eunuchs will be presented to the palace, if the Son of Heaven likes, the next time will be an additional order, and then the swift will form a trend in the home of the nobles of Jingshixun, in Tianjin Wei now there is a special business bank to do this business, very profitable.

"You have two sons and a daughter now, yes, yes, it's better than me, I already have three sons and seven daughters here, I often lead Chang Xun to walk on South Street, and lead him to eat the braised pork on South Street, this child is getting fatter and fatter the more he eats, and now I am leading him to practice his body."

When Emperor Wanli said this, he had the meaning of relaxing the atmosphere, and as he spoke, Wang Tong didn't speak, and Emperor Wanli's mood first fell, he shook the silver cup in his hand and muttered:

"At that time, the queen mother and Mr. Zhang made me simple, and it was not okay to have a good time eating meat, or Zhang accompanied me out of the palace to eat, in your delicious restaurant...... I....... ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli couldn't go on, just sighed. angry, continued to shake the silver cup, the wine in it had already spilled out, but he didn't seem to notice, Wang Tong also felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something at this time, sitting there didn't know what to say, this is also a memory of his youth, at that time, everyone didn't have much heart.

But Wang Tong's mood recovered faster, and he noticed the words "Queen Mother and Mr. Zhang". Wang Tong still remembered that before he left Jingshi and went to the south, when the emperor talked about these two people, they were both called "Queen Mother" and "Zhang Juzheng". It's like two people who have nothing to do with themselves, but now their tone has changed.

People's perception is a kind of period of time, after the passage of time, the experience is more, the original perception will also change, Wang Tong sat on the seat and hesitated, but got up and left the table, knelt on the ground, and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to ask for, please ask Your Majesty for permission."

Emperor Wanli stopped the shaking of the wine in his hand, but took a sip first. , smiling and asking:

"Matsue is not used to it, do you want to come back?"

Wang Tong knelt on the ground, not seeing the expression and eyes of Emperor Wanli, he just said:

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Cisheng is still outside the palace, Your Majesty treats Gonggong Zhang so kindly, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng is also pleased to come."

These words are incoherent, the sentences are contradictory, Emperor Wanli put the silver cup in his hand on the table, but he fell into contemplation, and was quiet for a while, Emperor Wanli also stood up, bowed down and helped Wang Tong up, looked at Wang Tong with a calm expression, nodded and said:

"You're a loyal minister, you're a loyal minister!"

Now the power of the Wanli Emperor is almost dictatorial, the father and the nobles have no way to compete, the Empress Dowager Cisheng does not have much influence on living in the palace or outside the palace, this time Zhang Cheng died, the Wanli Emperor was grieved, and arranged for someone to go to the condolence operation, there is nothing wrong with this, but a slave is so important, and his own mother is still living in his uncle's house, which is too easy to be talked about.

Zhang Cheng is old, he died of a cold, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng's health is not very good, if he dies outside the palace, Emperor Wanli will be very troublesome in terms of moral public opinion, but there is a reason why Emperor Wanli has not expressed his position on this matter, after all, the decision was made by him, and there is some trouble to take it back, and because of his dictatorship and monopoly of power, or the official who was killed is also the reason, no one dares to speak.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Wanli now needs a step and needs someone to speak, Wang Tong is looking at this, Emperor Wanli is naturally taking advantage of the trend, and it will definitely not be the dialogue between the monarch and the minister.

"You are not in Beijing, I have no one to discuss anything, and no one accompanies me to talk about the government and the world, I am very depressed, and when you are busy with the matter of opening cockroaches in Songjiang, you will return to Beijing, and we will work together to manage the business.

After putting forward that suggestion, Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Wang Tong was immediately a lot closer, of course, he was not intimate, he could give a banquet in the palace, and when he talked about such a private matter, it proved the relationship between the two people, but after Wang Tong made this suggestion, there was a subtle change.

Perhaps it was this suggestion that made Emperor Wanli reveal a difficult problem in his heart, and then, Emperor Wanli was obviously much more relaxed, and the previous heavy atmosphere was also swept away.

"You are not in Jingshi, it is really a thing that annoys me, some time ago, someone always said to me that the power of the tiger head is too great, the relationship with Tianjin Wei is too close, and the tiger head is from a humble background, it is difficult to ensure that he can't understand some of the response and righteousness, let me choose someone who knows the general situation better.

Hearing Emperor Wanli say this, Wang Tong also showed a look of surprise, this matter Wang Tong did not get a latent breath on the Songjiang side, which means that it is not carried out through normal speech or official channels, it should be some kind of noble or palace wind.

"The tiger head is loyal to His Majesty, and although the tiger head is young, he is young and old, has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is also safe in dealing with people, please rest assured that Your Majesty."

Regarding Li Hutou's matter, Wang Tong naturally knew how to express his position, and Emperor Wanli was also nodding there, but Emperor Wanli had not finished speaking, he put the wine glass on the table, and a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Do you know who dragged people to blow the wind? It's a calendar! ”

Hearing this, Wang Tong really didn't react, the Li family is naturally Li Tao's family, Li Tao is a heroic figure in the Huwei Army, and he is also a powerful party in Shaanxi, why is it not Li Hutou behind his back.

"I also know that I want to garrison in Beijing and Tianjin, but other places are not Daming, besides, what can't they say to me, and they still talk about this, and ignore it."

Emperor Wanli said helplessly there, although Wang Tong was surprised by Li Tao's action, he could understand what he thought.

Li Tao's fame and ambition are too heavy, and now he is also young today, and he can guard near the Beijing Division, close to the Imperial City of Beijing, which is very beneficial to the future promotion, and besides, now the world is rich and prosperous, where there are those that can compare to the Beijing and Tianjin areas, and Shaanxi is also a little bitter.

Moreover, Wang Tong went to Songjiang, Li Hutou, a person who is very close to Wang Tong, will not be suspicious, or after finding someone to talk about it, some people will be suspicious, this is possible, if others may not do this, but Li Tao is very likely to make a fuss in it.

Of course, there is still friendship, and Litao's operation is just to change positions with Li Hutou, not to slander and strike, several regiment generals, Li Hutou, Li Tao, and Sun Xin are all from the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Museum, and the generals who were once by the side of the Wanli Emperor were divided into various military towns, and the quality of the place and the level of the position were naturally different, and without Wang Tong, the person who was pressed on it, contradictions would naturally arise.

And behind Li Tao is the Li family general, which is also different from the people who were born in the lower ranks.

“…… It's a nonsense ......".

Wang Tong didn't know what to say, so he came out with this for a long time. (To be continued.)
