Chapter 175: Seeing the wind makes the rudder a power
When Emperor Wanli was studying in the martial arts hall, the Maritime Affairs Office received a memorial from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ganzhou Ping Youzi. The Left Minister of Personnel, who was about the same level as the Shangshu of other departments.
The Tongzhengsi did not dare to neglect the memorials of such figures and hurriedly sent them to the Silijian. The eunuch who wrote the Silijian was given instructions. As soon as the memorial arrived, he would first submit it to the eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal.
The memorial stated that the recovery of Zhang Juzhengji is a pillar of the country and cannot be lacked for a day. It is planned for the whole country. You ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to seize the love.
The capital is just a sieve, and no news can be hidden. As soon as the memorial is posted here, it takes less than an hour. The officials and forces in the capital who are qualified to care about this matter will know the news.
There was still half an hour left before the Tongzheng Department stopped collecting memorials, but within this half hour, many officials arrived here either by car or riding horses.
The first person to come here was the second assistant of the cabinet, Lu Diaoyang. The second was Zhang Siwei, the Minister of the Ministry of War of the University of the Cabinet, Chen Sanmo, the chief minister of the official department, and Zeng Shichu, the Censor, ranked third and fourth. Next, the Tongzhengsi suddenly became a market, and everyone in the capital who was qualified to make memorials and speak successively.
The words and sentences in everyone's memorials are different, but there is only one meaning. Zhang Juzheng cannot leave, Zhang Ge Lao wants to leave, and the country is not in the country, so the emperor asks the emperor to issue an edict to seize the love.
On this day, a group of low-ranking officials in the Tongzhengsi Department got the benefits. Everyone who submitted the memorial was worried that their memorial would not be delivered or that they would be delivered late, so they had to give money to these officials who uploaded and issued the benefits.
Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, naturally arranged for someone to inquire about the news here. After hearing this, the servant knew that it was not good, so he hurried back to the Secretary's Mansion.
After the morning court meeting, Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, looked as heavy as water. When he returned home, he said nothing and stayed in the study room without coming out. The emperor's statement and Feng Bao's attitude had already explained the problem. It was difficult to stop the water from being covered here, so he could only plan to have the effect of his own and Wan Shihe's hard head.
As the family members finished their report panting, Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, still looked calm. He just said calmly, "I know" and drove the servant who was inquiring about the news.
As soon as the man left, Zhang Han's face turned as if he was dead. He fell into his seat. The butler standing outside the door looked inside and was frightened. He hurriedly ran in and shouted in a low voice:
"Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want to hire a doctor?"
Zhang Han waved his hand, sighed and said to himself:
"If people's hearts are not enough, people's hearts are not enough, why is this official confused? I thought this was the opportunity to fall from today. I lost all the whole market, and lost all the whole market!"
Zhang Han's housekeeper also participated in a lot of secrets, so he naturally knew what his master was saying. He also heard the family's report just now. He knew that this matter was not good. He ignored the above and below and hurriedly suggested:
"Master, why don't we report it too
"It's time to do it. If I do this, I will be laughed at by the world. Do you think those people are moving so quickly? They have written two memorials in their hands, one is to agree with Zhang Juzheng's love, and the other is to praise Zhang Juzheng's return home to mourn. His filial piety is moving."
Zhang Han said a few words, but suddenly remembered something. He shouted in a deep voice:
"Where is Qian Chunping, did anyone teach the words he said to me?"
The butler stumbled a few times and whispered:
"A few days ago, didn't the master stay in the door and stayed in the guest? Qian Chunping once visited and said that he had already got a job as Changlu Salt Administration and was about to take office. He also said ashamed."
"What is he ashamed of? This official is cruel. I have been cautious for so many years and finally reached this position, but I was inspired by a Qingke's words and made a big mistake. I feel ashamed!"
Listening to Zhang Han becoming more and more discouraged, the housekeeper was really panicked and hurriedly approached and said:
"Master, the city gate will be closed for half an hour. Otherwise, let the wife and the young master leave first, and the younger one will go and clean up now."
Zhang Han bent down, put his hand on his knees, shook his head heavily, and said:
"All this matter has not been revealed. There is no such disaster. It is just that the official will not do it. It is clear that I have submitted a letter to retire and will be settled," he went to call Song Chanchan over."
In front of Zhang Siwei, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War, several officials were respectfully and politely bidding farewell to Zhang Siwei. They thanked Zhang Siwei for seeing Wanli in a clear way and submitted a memorial to keep Mr. Zhang.
Everyone knew in their hearts that what these officials thanked was Zhang Siwei who led them to report the memorial in time and just bet on the right bet. Everyone was kind to say a few words, and Zhang Siwei turned around and entered the mansion.
As soon as the gate behind closed, Zhang Siwei immediately looked like frost and walked towards the inner room with big strides.
That night, in the imperial city, in the palace of Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, Empress Dowager Li, like yesterday, had a meal with Emperor Wanli and King Lu.
After eating a few bites, Empress Dowager Li picked up a chopstick dish for Emperor Wanli and said with a smile:
"The emperor issued an edict today to seize love. This is done right and has retained my heart for the Ming Dynasty." My minister, Huang Bu is becoming more and more emperor-like! Emperor Wanli praised him and quickly put down his bowl. He bowed and thanked:
"Thank you for your praise from my mother. Mr. Zhang is in charge of the world. No one can replace him. The emperor also did this for the Ming Dynasty."
Empress Dowager Li nodded with a smile. Emperor Wanli noticed that Empress Dowager Cisheng's joy came from sincerity, and the praise might not have been seen for a long time, but Empress Dowager Li's happiness did not make Emperor Wanli, who had always been filial, happy, but instead made the little emperor feel a lot of discomfort in his heart.
For the little emperor, he felt that his mother should not hide anything from him, or even test him.
"You kids are all your own family and have so many gifts. Don't delay eating, eat quickly."
Empress Dowager Cisheng Li didn't think there was anything, but instead smiled and urged him. At this time, the King Lu next to him said in surprise:
"Oh, Brother Emperor, you have grown a lot taller."
This sentence suddenly shifted everyone's attention, and even the absent-minded Emperor Wanli looked down and said in a slight voice:
"In the past, the emperor had to jump when he got down the embroidery stake, but now it's not necessary."
Emperor Wanli lowered his head and was smaller than Ge, with a smile on his face. He had been practicing for almost half a year. He had exercised well every day and had a real meal. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was just when he was growing. Emperor Wanli's height rose a lot. But the increase in height could not be seen every day, but over time, the amplitude would be significant.
Empress Dowager Li was also happy to see this. Her children always made her parents happy when they grew taller and stronger. Emperor Wanli sat back and drank a sip of soup and said excitedly:
"Then Wang Tong's method is indeed useful. He is really a loyal minister of Lian."
King Lu was chuckling from the side, looking very happy, but the female official standing not far away waiting to be called was surprised. The Empress Dowager's family banquet. After watching it for a long time, she could naturally see the tricks. If King Lu had said such a thing in the past, Wanli would definitely have had a fight with him, laughing and joking. Today, the separation was very wide.
Song Chanchan, the chief of the Qinguan, has been invited to the mansion of Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, and will be placed in the past. The appearance of Lao Jiu from a brothel at the Mansion of the Minister of Personnel, will inevitably cause an uproar, and the impeachment memorial of the Daoist Officer will drown people. However, today, the dispute over the love between Ding and Ding's heart is revealed, and who still has the heart to pay attention to this role that will definitely be defeated?
Everyone was full of energy waiting for tomorrow and the next day. They either wrote to praise His Majesty's wisdom, praised the elders who abandoned their family and cared for the Ming Dynasty, or watched who was deliberately suppressed, so everyone would beat the dog in the water.
Those who are well-informed in the capital will know. The Qinguan’s backstage is Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel. Some people suspect that Song Chanchan is Zhang Han’s outside house. Those who are more well-informed in the news know that Song’s mother is not.
Song Chanchan came to Zhang's mansion, but her face was extremely cold, and she didn't see the respect and politeness of the servants at all. She just walked inward under the guidance of the butler.
Although there was a major blow in the afternoon and his career had been ruined, Zhang Han adjusted quickly. When Song Chanchan came in, his expression was as normal.
Song Chanchan said with a blank expression. She sat opposite her swaggeringly, and she disappeared completely when she was always in the Qin Pavilion. Zhang Han didn't care and said:
"I thought I could take care of you to get married and start a business in the capital, but now it seems that it will not work. Qinguan's business is prosperous and many nobles are nobles. There must be many people who are jealous of me. Once I leave, someone will definitely take action. It is very dangerous. I will pay the Qinguan at a low price tomorrow. I will give you another 5,000 taels of silver. Go back to my hometown to find someone. I will spend the rest of my life!"
"After staying in the Jiaofangsi for those years, who else would like to ask me for a girl? It would be better to stay in the capital and get angry."
Song Chanchan's cold-eyed words did not make Zhang Han angry. Instead, she sighed, turned around and took out a few pieces of paper, and whispered:
"Your brother took over the matter himself. He had implicated your whole family. Zhang could not help you until last year. He felt guilty, but Zhang couldn't stay in the capital immediately. He seemed to be a loser and no one wanted to get involved. Even if you entrust you to others, no one would take over. When you go back to your hometown, you can still keep your peace. Here, you can only ask for more blessings. This is the land deed of Qinguan and the contract of the house behind. If you stay, take them all. But Zhang really can't protect you. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
There must be many people staring at the bossless woman and property in the capital. Miss Song grabbed the contracts, but hesitated. Zhang Han sighed again and said:
"If there is any powerful person who surrenders, you can also go there, and there will always be a shelter.
The girl Song trembled, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face. She decided not long after. Song Chanchan gritted her teeth and whispered:
Chapter completed!
