Liu Zhong did not ask how to remind the emperor of the prince's study, and Wang Shouren did not continue the topic. The two naturally turned around.

"Now, Mr. Li is more polite, even the Lijian. Everyone can see that Mr. Liu has been the chief minister for seven years and has been the chief minister for seven years. He may not come down at any time. Mr. Li will definitely return. Further, the people on Mr. Xie were afraid that they would be anxious, but they were not anxious. Although the two men entered the cabinet in the same year, Mr. Xie was one step late and could only be descended from the back of the people. He was about the same age as Mr. Li. Wait until After he ended Mr. Li, he was almost done." Liu Zhong said: "His son-in-law, who is also a member of the clan of Shangshu Chen..." The last sentence was to ask Shen Rui.

Shen Rui nodded and said, "It's the Jiufang Clan brother."

After hearing Liu Zhong's words, Wang Shouren remembered Shen Rui's "dream" and said, "Qi Yan, what do you think of Mr. Li

"Mr. Li is sloppy and he is not hindered. Rongqiao is the one who gets along with the Silijian. However, compared with Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie, he is less handsome." Liu Zhong thought for a while and said.

Because Wang Hua was in the court, Wang Shouren also had contacted several cabinet ministers in his early years. His impression of Li Dongyang was similar to what Liu Zhong said, but this was a match for Shen Rui's previous "Mengyan".

Wang Shouren's heart was sank, but he didn't say anything else, and just ordered Shen Rui to say: "Pour wine."

This lunch is used from early noon to Shin-zheng (4 pm).

Wang Shouren was filled with alcohol and stood up to say goodbye.

Liu Zhong was already unable to stand firm and kept guests with little verbal sensation.

Wang Shouren waved his hand and said, "When I come back from Shandong, we will drink again. Next time, we will definitely not be drunk or return."

"Okay" Liu Zhong had already asked for help, but his mind was clear and he did not forget to instruct the people next to him to get a brocade box.

"Although we were not the first meeting with Hengyun, now we are elders, there is no reason to leave juniors empty-handed." Liu Zhong personally handed the brocade box to Shen Rui.

Shen Rui glanced at Wang Shouren, saw him nodding, and then took the Jinbo and said, "Thank you uncle..."

After hearing this title, Liu Zhong showed a little relief on his face, but he still said, "Uncle Master is not a teacher, but he just called it a few words in private. This title cannot be revealed in front of others... In the future, if you meet outside, it will be good to be close to you in your heart. No need to care about the name.”

Wang Shouren said unconsciously: "Even if it is exposed in front of others, what if it is? Didn't you teach me by your father?

Liu Zhong shook his head and said, "I am a broken and ominous person. Why do you make your husband and senior brother criticized for my sake? Those corrupt scholars can stir up troubles without wind. Why bother to make people angry? Even if you Senior brother doesn’t care, think about the difficulties of Mr.

Wang Shouren said with regret: "It's hard to be at ease..."

The Wang family's carriage was waiting at the entrance of the alley, and Shen Rui helped Wang Shouren onto the carriage.

Liu Zhong said: "I have few days to come out on weekdays, so I can't figure out which day I'll come out. If Hengyun has something to do, I'll send someone to leave a message. No matter what I can do, I won't be able to do anything."

Shen Rui thanked again before he followed him onto the carriage.

The carriage left the alley and arrived on the street, and there was a hawking sound outside.

Wang Shouren was closing his eyes to rest, but now he opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and clear, so where was there any drunkenness?

"Teacher?" Shen Rui was full of doubts, but he didn't know how to ask.

Wang Shouren chuckled and said, "Can Hengyun complain about why he is a teacher and is with eunuchs?"

Shen Rui shook his head quickly and said, "Students dare not be just a little strange..."

You should know that although Wang Hua has not yet entered the cabinet, he was the top scholar and was once the imperial teacher. Now he is one of the teachers in the East Palace. He has a very good reputation among the scholars. As Liu Zhong said, scholars look down on the inner ministers.

, If others knew that Wang Hua's son had a deep relationship with his inner ministers, and Wang Hua's origins were in it, they would not know what to say.

Wang Shouren sneered: "There are a few people who are really clamoring for fun and can speak well in the court? Now the criticism of the power of the Red Army is in the literati. Not to mention ordinary civil and military ministers, even the cabinet masters of the cabinet should be warm to the other side.

Spring breeze, who dares to act like not being with eunuchs?"

Shen Rui was silent.

Wang Shouren looked at him and said, "I have inquired about the close servants of the East Palace. The climate has come true. If you want to prepare for the future, you can only walk a few more steps..."

Shen Rui said: "The eunuch is born with the imperial power. If there is no support from the emperor, he is just a rootless duckweed... Those who really want to confront civil servants are never the inner ministers..."

Wang Shouren smiled a little: "You can think of these things. Those historical books were not read in vain... But even if it was the same, what could it be? As a minister, you must do something and not do something...

...Sometimes, even if you know that the emperor is not happy, things still need to be done... The emperor is also a human being. If there is no loyal advice from the ministers and act based on their likes and dislikes, something big will happen..." In the end, he was solemn.

When Shen Rui heard this, he felt awe-inspiring.

This is not a loyal advice or not. It is obviously a civil servant group who came together to restrict the imperial power.

"But, ministers are also human beings, and they also have their own likes and dislikes. Since they are all ruled by human beings, everyone is worried about the emperor, but who can guarantee that the ministers are selfless in their actions?" Shen Rui thought for a while and said.

"A subject is a minister after all. Even if he is in the position of chief minister, he can change his words with an emperor... And how many people are staring at him, the more he stands taller he will be more scruples. People who act completely disorganized,

He can't be the position of a minister." Wang Shouren said.

Although he knew what Wang Shouren said was reasonable, Shen Rui still found it difficult to fully accept this theory.

I remembered Hongzhi before, when Zhengde was replaced, the cabinet ministers were expelled and the eunuchs were in power, and the court must be in turmoil. Now when I think of this, Shen Rui's fear was a little less, and he felt that the cabinet ministers and civil servants were being treated at that time.

Suppression is also a matter of one's own consequences.

Who can be ruthless without plants and trees?

After two years of dealing with Shou Ge, the balance in Shen Rui's heart had tilted unknowingly.

"How many emperors will give power to their ministers? Then will future disputes be inevitable?" Shen Rui said

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, it is just 'One emperor and another minister, when the new and old are replaced, there will always be a struggle..."

"Are the teacher ready?" Shen Rui said.

Then he was silent, and it was Wang Shouren.

After half a cup of tea, Wang Shouren said, "The one who excluded his father and suppressed his father to enter the cabinet was not someone else, but Li Dongyang... If Hengyun really wanted to let what he said, the three elders and three elders retreated.

Second, only Mr. Li is left, and my father is afraid he has to go to Nanjing..."

Shen Rui frowned and said, "Where is the teacher?"

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "When I come back from Shandong, I will plan a foreign position..."

"Where is the one Liu Neiguan?" Shen Rui hesitated: "Is the teacher for the future?"

Wang Shouren said: "That's right. Why fight for the day? No matter how arrogant the eunuchs were during the replacement, they were just the sword in the hands of the emperor. The cunning rabbit died and the lackeys were cooked. Their time to jump around was limited. Instead of fighting with them, it was not

If you wait for the time to find something else.”

Shen Rui didn't show his face, but he was shocked.

Isn’t this saint in front of me the future? Is it still inclined to the senior and civil officials in my tone? Why did I take out a foreign mission in a blink of an eye and avoid risks?

Wang Shouren was straight and said with a little firmness and pride: "The battlefield I hope for is never in the court..."

If Wang Shouren was stubborn and prepared for the battle with high spirits, he would probably think that behavior was too stupid; but what was the choice in front of him?

Shen Rui felt that he was a little pretentious. Wang Shouren's current choice was the safest, but he was still a little disappointed?

On May 18th, it is advisable to travel, and Wang Shouren leaves Beijing.

As a disciple, Shen Rui asked for a day off to send him off; when He Taizhi heard this, he also made fun of him and rushed over to see him off.

The group left the capital and headed straight to Tongzhou Wharf. Wang Shouren would take the water and land to Jinan.

The main examination in the provincial examination was only half a year, and it was considered a official business, so there was no need to take care of the family. There were only a few old family members and the servants who accompanied him, and Wu Xuan was among them.

Wu Xuan is seven years older than Shen Rui and is twenty-three years old this year. However, because he has a baby face, he looks just seventeen or eighteen.

Wu Xuan was an orphan, and had no slave status. He was a adopted son of the Wang family in his household registration, which was a civilian status. Although he regarded himself as a servant in recent years, no one in the Wang family regarded him as a servant. Wang Hua and

Wang Shouren and his son also gave him more guidance on studying.

Last year, when Wang Shouren was in his hometown, he announced the boy test to Wu. Wu announced the county test and the government test. Although it was not the leader, it was also on the top list. During the examination, he was sick due to physical discomfort and delayed going to the examination room.

.

"Brother Wuxuan, should you call me Senior Brother in the future?" Shen Rui looked at Wuxuan and said.

After Wuxuan officially accepted the boy's test, Wang Shouren was caught in the door wall.

Wu Xuan snorted: "Isn't it that Hengyun calls me senior brother? If you really want to talk about it, I will come to my husband five or six years earlier than you..."

Shen Rui said: "But didn't the teacher eat Wu Xuan Ge's teacher-respecting tea last year? I, the eldest disciple, have been doing it for six or seven years."

Wu Xuan was speechless.

He Taizhi said on the side: "Didn't it mean that the most difficult thing to try with the boy from Zhejiang and Nanzhili? Why did Brother Wu Xuan pass two levels so easily?"

Wu Xuan brought a little proudly and said, "What's the reason? A famous teacher will produce a high disciple."

Wang Shouren was riding a horse in front of him. When he heard this, he turned around and said, "I didn't hear any good disciples in the school exam. When he was about to take the exam, he ate two beggars in one breath.

Chicken, eating it hurts the stomach and intestines and bedridden..."

Wu Xuan's face turned red with a "swish" and he said embarrassedly: "Am I just curious? It's so famous that it tastes really good..."

Shen Rui's lips bent, and he finally understood why Wuxuan's article was good in the past few years, but the Wang family's father and son delayed it until now that he was the boy's test last year. Wuxuan is innocent and innocent, and has a premature test for fame and fortune.

, if you are unable to deal with outsiders, you will only suffer losses.

Changshou and Changfu followed behind him, and they were familiar with Wuxuan, and they couldn't hear it.
