Chapter 351 Wang Shizhen
In addition to daily history writing, he was also worried about another extremely important thing in his silent heart... One day after the top scorer last month, he wrote a memorial, begging His Majesty to pardon his teacher Chen Lian. It has been almost half a month since then. It is said that His Majesty has approved it, but he has not received a certain letter yet. How can he not worry about it?
But he was just a first-timer and had nowhere to ask. Originally, there was a Zhu Shisan who could ask, but that guy went out of Beijing to work and has not shown up yet and could not count on him for a while. There was no choice but to go to Zhang Juzheng, who was also a Hanlin, and ask him to ask for help.
Zhang Juzheng was quite angry at his change of course in the palace examination, so Chen Si came to Hanlin Academy for many days, but he had not come to see him. However, he still admired Chen Lian's righteous deeds, so although he still did not give Chen Si a good face, he agreed to help inquire.
A few days later, a letter was sent, saying that His Majesty had written a note and ordered Chen Lian to pardon him. Now the cabinet is discussing whether to remove him from his post as a citizen or to restore his post. Although Ge Lao Yan did not make it clear, he hinted that he could not be kept in the capital.
"This means," Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "Gei Master Yan gave up his investigation of Ling Shi, so Mr. Xu meant to transfer Ling Shi to another place to serve as an official..." He said, "It's just the power of appointment and removal for officials, and now it's gathered by Li Mo alone. What's going on? It's up to the Ministry of Personnel to discuss it before talking about it."
"That's how..." The silent face looked ugly. He had an ominous premonition that the Minister of Personnel would not do anything impartially.
Zhang Juzheng also had the same concern: "Li Shiyan is a narrow-minded person and will retaliate. It is said that because of the Ling Shi, he had a very unhappy relationship with Governor Lu, and he was afraid he had some trouble."
"I have to think of a solution," said silently: "But he has a very poor impression of me. If I come forward, I will only backfire."
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said, "Li Mo has been married for many years and is called Wang Jun..."
"But it turns out that our governor of Zhejiang?" asked silently.
"Yes, he is now the right deputy commander and minister of the Ministry of War," Zhang Juzheng said: "It must be considered Li Mo's biggest supporter."
"Can you ask him for help?" Chen Si said in surprise: "That would be great."
"I don't have that ability," Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "He is a high-ranking and powerful person, so how could he pay attention to us little Hanlin... But his son is also in the Hanlin Academy, so I can take you to ask him for help."
The person Zhang Juzheng said was Wang Shizhen, and this person was amazing. According to Zhang Juzheng, no matter who received his praise, he would become famous; as long as he said it was good, everyone would consider it to be really good, but he was a talented man like Xu Wei, known as the King of Southern and Xu Bei, and could be regarded as the leader of the literary world of the Northern School and had a great social influence.
If this person could help, he would feel that the problem would not be big. He prepared all the gifts, followed Zhang Juzheng, and went straight to the Xiangshan villa where Wang Dacaizi studied...
Finally, a small courtyard was found among a large area of green pine and cypress in the mountains. The courtyard was filled with earthen walls, thatched cottages, small doors and paper windows, original flavor, without any decoration, but the courtyard was full of lush pine and cypresses, which echoed the trees in the courtyard.
There was no servant in the yard. Zhang Juzheng pushed open the wood door and walked along the grassy path to the yard. He saw a plaque hanging on the lintel with two ancient characters "Snail House" written on it. There were some moss marks on the steps and the grass color entered the curtains. Chen Si couldn't help but smile and said: "What era is this? This great talent still plays like a famous scholar?"
"Where is the host when a guest arrives?" Zhang Juzheng laughed jokingly in the courtyard.
"Come in, the door is not closed." A pleasant voice sounded inside.
"He is not a little arrogant," Zhang Juzheng whispered: "People are arrogant, you have to show some skills to talk to you."
He nodded silently and went into the hut with him. He saw a man of similar age to Zhang Juzheng, sitting in front of the window wearing clothes, writing something at the desk. When the two of them came in, he did not look up, but said, "The water is in the jar, and you want to burn it with yourself. If you are not thirsty, sit for a while."
Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and signaled that Chen Si would sit down and wait until Wang Shizhen finished his work. Chen Si had to sit down and look at the talented man, not to say anything else, just looking at his red lips and white teeth and handsome appearance, he was much better than Xu Wenchang, who looked like Mr. Dongchang. Therefore, Chen Si had no hope for Xu Wei to occupy the Beijing literary world in one fell swoop.
After watching for a long time, Wang Shizhen put down his pen and looked up and smiled: "Zhang Taiyue, he said in a quiet manner. The two of them came together, and the shabby room was full of glory!"
Chen Si quickly returned the courtesy: "I heard about the name of the Northern King, so I took the liberty to visit today. Please ask Brother Fengzhou to have a happy life." Wang Shizhen's name is Yuanmei and his pseudonym Fengzhou.
Wang Shizhen smiled and said, "I have long wanted to visit the dumb words that can win six yuan in a row, but I am used to being lazy and unwilling to enter the city, so I have been dragged until now."
They were not over there and they were polite. Zhang Juzheng walked to the desk and looked at what Wang Shizhen had just written and said, "What are some excellent works recently? Let's have a sneak peek?"
"What is the best work? Do your homework." Wang Shizhen sighed and said, "My one is not as studious as yours. Next month it will be my "Records of the Grand Historian". If it is not interesting, he may have to make fun of me again." Just as Zhang Juzheng taught King Yu's homework, there was another group of people teaching King Jing, and Wang Shizhen was one of them.
"It turned out to be a handout," Zhang Juzheng looked at the top page and said: "The story is really wonderful when the generals and ministers are in harmony."
"Yes," Wang Shizhen nodded and said, "Lin Xiangru is both wise and brave, not afraid of power, and safeguards the dignity of the country. It is really admirable."
Zhang Juzheng gave Chen Mo a wink and asked him to show it. Chen Mo could only laugh: "I don't dare to agree with Brother Fengzhou's point of view. I think Lin Xiangru is just a desperate person who seeks fame. His behavior has always been to show off for the sake of increasing the title. It is harmful to Zhao State and should be despised." When he came, Zhang Juzheng had already told Chen Mo that Wang Shizhen admired people with unique insights the most, so he decided to prescribe the right medicine.
"What are the great things about my words?" Wang Shizhen asked with interest when he heard that he was going to overturn Lin Xiangru.
"Let's start with returning the jade to Zhao. Qin State pretended to use fifteen cities to deceive Zhao and threaten his jade. At that time, he just wanted to obtain the Heshi jade, not to attack Zhao State for trouble. Do you all agree?"
The two nodded and said, "Not bad."
"What about Zhao State? If you are afraid of Qin, you should hand over the Heshi Bi. If you are not afraid of Qin, you should not hand over. There are only two situations. In fact, Zhao State also knows that Qin State cannot give up fifteen cities." Silently said: "If you are afraid of Qin, you should decisively abandon the Bi and not give him an excuse to start a war."
"In fact, Lin Xiangru brought the jade to Qin, which proved that Zhao was obviously afraid of Qin, but he aroused the anger of the King of Qin several times, and eventually lost his morality and gave Qin an interface to start a war. I really don't know why King Zhao still appreciated Lin Xiangru." He smiled silently: "Instead of being so reluctant to give it to Qin, why not just not give it to Qin and concentrate on strengthening border defense!"
Zhang Juzheng understood a little and nodded slowly and said, "You mean that Lin Xiangru's performance in Qin is based on his own interests, not the interests of Zhao?"
He nodded silently and said, "It is not just the complete return of Zhao, but also the 'Mianchi Association', and the 'Mingmasters and the reputation of the general Lian Po for his own reputation," he said, sneering: "What he did was nothing but the ingenuity of the Warring States struggling with the power and tricks of the strategists of the Warring States Period, and there was no morality at all."
The more Zhang Juzheng thought about it, the more he was. He wanted to show his talent. Now he looked at him with admiration. He said that he could see people's hearts so thoroughly. This person is extraordinary.
Wang Shizhen is also a very smart person, but he is a kind-hearted person and is a little difficult to accept and said, "Is Lin Xiangru really that kind of person?"
"Brother Fengzhou, do you think," said silently and silently: "Lin Xiang and the King of Qin had the first confrontation, pointing out that after Qin wanted to cheat the Heshi Bi, the King of Qin was forced to give the city according to the map, set up nine guest and received the jade. This is an extremely solemn etiquette. In the eyes of the world, it must be given to the city. But Lin Xiangru sent someone to secretly send the jade back to Zhao. Isn't this giving the truth to Qin? As a result, Qin had reason to attack Zhao, plunder the stone city, and kill more than 20,000 people. As a result, King Zhao had to beg for mercy from the King of Qin in Mianchi, and was humiliated by the King of Qin. This account could be counted on Lin Xiangru."
"Yes," Zhang Juzheng nodded and smiled, "It's the same with Mianchi. Since Zhao wants to beg for mercy, he will also threaten and anger the King of Qin. It's very unwise to leave a verbal argument for another attack."
"You can't say that, right?" Wang Shizhen said: "What if the Qin King still refused to give it to the city after he fasted and received the jade?"
"Lin Xiangru can say to the King of Qin," said silently, "I know that the king does not give it to the city. Now the king has broken his trust in the world because of a jade penis. I ask that I die in the country, because of the king's failure to trust in the king. I wonder which princes dare to believe your promise again, and who is still virtuous and capable, willing to serve the king?"
