After Wang Xijue said this, Wang Chonggu Lei's skin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Wang Chonggu thought to himself: "Is this guy a fool? Or is he a hypocrite and a loyal person?" He was thinking in his mind and spoke slowly, laughing loudly and saying: "I'm here.
I’m sorry, Yuan Yu, don’t blame me!”
Wang Xijue immediately understood the meaning of preservation in Wang Chong's ancient words, and his eye circles turned red, as if he was about to cry.
Wang Chonggu murmured in his heart: "Is he moved by himself?"
Wang Xijue composed himself and said with a wry smile: "It's Yuan Yu Meng Lang who is the one. Duke Jianchuan wants to keep him safe!" After saying that, he stared at the tea cup in his hand without saying anything, as if he was deep in thought.
Wang Chonggu felt very itchy in his heart. He wanted to become a villain and jump into Wang Xijue's voice to see what color his heart was. In his mind, he went through Wang Xijue's resume from beginning to end like a revolving door:
Wang Xijue became a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing's reign, and subsequently served as editor of the Hanlin Academy, director of the Imperial College, etc. When Gao Gong was in power, he opposed Gao Gong on the relocation of the History Museum and his appointment as a lecturer in the East Palace, and was sent to Nanjing for a period of time.
Imperial Academy.
After Zhang Juzheng came to power, Wang Xijue was like a rocket. He was first recalled as the vice president of "Records of Mu Zong", and then served as the chief examiner of the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination and the deputy examiner of the general examination. These were all typical "preserver prime minister" treatments in the Ming Dynasty - convenient
He grasps talents and plans to join the cabinet in the future.
In the past two years, Wang Xijue has been promoted three levels, and has successively been appointed as the fourth-rank Imperial Academy Officer, Zhan Shi, and then as Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shifu, and concurrently as an attendant bachelor. At this time, he is now third-rank, only two positions away from Wang Chonggu.
Bad. If nothing happens, he will definitely join the cabinet or even be the first assistant in the future - this is the main reason why Wang Chonggu wants to make friends with him.
Wang Xijue's life experience was just a flash in Wang Chonggu's mind, and thinking that he was born into a wealthy family, Wang Chonggu thought to himself: "I'm afraid this guy is really a stick."
Thinking like this in his heart, he spoke earnestly, pretending to be "I'm all for your own good" and said with a smile: "Yuan Yu doesn't want to go out? With your qualifications, you can put a governor outside, with eight seats in the living room, and call at the front and back.
With the power of support, he can be captured easily."
After hearing this, Wang Xijue raised his head and looked at Wang Chonggu with bright eyes. Wang Chonggu continued: "I was chatting with Wang Guoguang earlier. I heard from him that the emperor intends to reform the old system where academicians must come from the Imperial Academy -" At this point, he paused.
He took a closer look at Wang Xijue.
Seeing that there was no excitement on Wang Xijue's face, and he just listened quietly to what he said, Wang Chonggu concluded that this guy was undoubtedly a stick.
I had no choice but to continue: "Well, the emperor said, 'A strong general comes from the army, and a prime minister comes from the state.' Although he didn't say anything else, the Holy Heart has made it clear. I'm afraid that this path of becoming a Hanlin prime minister will not work in the future.
Already."
After hearing this, Wang Xijue sighed and said: "To be honest with Mr. Jianchuan, since you have read the books of sages, who hasn't had the ambition to 'see all the mountains and small mountains at a glance'? But now the state affairs are so complicated, if they can't be handled properly, I'm afraid when the war breaks out,
This prime minister is a powerful general who can't save the world and save the time, but who can do it?" After saying this, he sighed sadly.
Wang Chonggu had lost interest in continuing to talk nonsense with Wang Xijue, but he couldn't be too conspicuous. He kept silent after hearing the words, and only sighed twice.
Wang Xijue hesitated to speak, but finally made up his mind, Tu Qiongdagger said: "To be honest with Mr. Jianchuan, only the emperor can solve this great catastrophe in the world. I have put this person out of consideration, and I want to do something to remonstrate.
Sir, do you have any intention?"
When Wang Chonggu saw that he broke the jar and finally revealed his purpose, he felt irritated, as if his baby under the fur robe had been hit by the hot sun. He had to deal with it: "One or two books will not help. If you want the emperor to take him seriously, you have to do it."
If we jointly submit the petition, we will fear ridicule from the party committee." First, I tried to block Wang Xijue with his talk.
Wang Xijue said with emotion: "At this time, the world is in turmoil, and the fool is just holding on to the thought of 'having to do something.'" After saying that, he stared at Wang Chonggu with burning eyes, his big eyes seemed to be able to speak.
At this moment, Wang Chonggu felt regretful and his intestines were about to break. There was a black little Wang Chonggu in his heart. He pushed the white little man to the ground and slapped him hard. He sighed, took off the tortoiseshell leg spectacles produced by Rishenglong, and squeezed it with his hands.
The bridge of my nose feels like I want to rub all the oily skin off my nose.
After thinking for a long time, he had an embarrassed look on his face and said helplessly: "Well, can I take a look at your question book first?"
Wang Xijue heard what Wang Chonggu said, and he had a clear idea, so he took out the memorial from his sleeve. When Wang Chonggu opened it and read it, the memorial said:
"Since the emperor practiced Zuo, he has become wise and wise. He has always followed the right path in employment and administration. He is a man of sincerity..." First, flatter the emperor. There must be a paragraph in this remonstrance memorial. Wang Chonggu
Skip the first hundred words without reading them.
Then, as expected, the topic changed, and the title book wrote: "However, due to the assassination of Zhang Wenming, the Jin Yiwei went to jail indiscriminately, and thousands of people were arrested, and it is self-evident that there are only so many people who conspired to rebel.
." Let’s first point out that there are definitely not that many murderers in this Wenming assassination case. There is no need to prove Jin Yiwei’s mistake. Things should not be handled as they are now.
Subsequently, the title book discusses the reasons and consequences of the Jinyiwei's indiscriminate use of prisons, and still leaves a clue for the emperor: "Those who conspire to assassinate must be guilty of an unpardonable crime, or they may be overcorrecting."
"However, the Jinyiwei suppressed them, humiliated them, or re-established their positions to destroy their families. Knowing that they were wronged, they would pour out their property with the intention of redressing the grievances." It points out that the Jinyiwei used major cases to destroy wealthy gentry and take the opportunity to make money.
The main reason - this is not the main reason, Wang Xijue still gave way to the emperor.
"An official who mistreats others has an excuse to be cruel. He accepts bribes from rich landowners and cannot take them all, so they all end up in poverty. If Lu Yan becomes empty, what will the country's generals have to rely on?" This sentence is powerful. Wang Xijue pointed out sharply,
The emperor is the general representative of the landlord class. If you have killed everyone of your own class, who can you rely on?
Later, in the memorial, Wang Xijue also earnestly advised the emperor from Zhang Juzheng's perspective: "The emperor met the prime minister with kindness, expressed his heart and body, and consulted him on all the important affairs of the country. He received many honors. And this minister
If you study carefully day and night, be vigilant and sincere, the state of the country will be the result of mutual benefit between the monarch and his ministers."
"At this time, because the father of the prime minister was assassinated, the world was in turmoil but everyone was in danger. Can this minister feel at ease?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't sit still when Jin Yiwei did this. Does he still want to continue to hang out?
After admonishing the emperor from several angles, he wrote a sentence on reform in the title book: "The emperor has launched a grand plan to reform the holy government, and all the shortcomings have been corrected. However, before the new government has begun, the prison will be launched first. This is not a political conflict.
The Way of Harmony." Your Majesty, even for the sake of reform, you cannot destroy the foundation of the country.
At the end of the memorial, Wang Xijue wrote sincerely: "Your Majesty is sincere in his feelings, and in order to uphold the principles and disciplines, to rectify the origins, all the people in the world know it." You are a person of loyalty, stand up for Zhang Juzheng, and at the same time let everyone in the world implement the reform honestly.
Everyone in the world understands this meaning - please accept your magical powers.
"The Emperor's laws of filial piety, caring for the virtuous and learning, being disciplined and loving others, are suitable for harmoniousness and auspiciousness, and he can rest and gather together. Why should he lie down thousands of miles away in anger and endanger the country? This is not enough for future generations.
"Finally, I would like to advise you not to leave a bad example to your descendants.
Wang Chonggu saw that there was a long blank page at the back of the memorial, and a bunch of names were signed densely. The first person to sign was Wang Xijue, followed by a bunch of names of Hanlin officials, officials, and even the names of Luo Wanhua and other important ministers in the chamber.
When I looked down, the first among the senior officials was Guo Chaobin, followed by Li Youzi, Pan Sheng and Yang Shaoqing and Yang Junmin - it seemed that Wang Xijue was the fifth to find him.
Wang Chonggu said, "Well, Yuan Yu. How about adding a sentence to the memorial?"
Wang Xijue hurriedly replied: "I would like to listen to Duke Jianchuan's high opinion."
Wang Chonggu said: "Add a sentence after 'This is not the way to harmonize politics', 'Reform is particularly focused on the road, and those who enter the prison will be afraid. If the road of words is blocked, the king's gate will be thousands of miles away.
There is a hidden danger and a traitor, why would you know about it?', how?"
After Wang Xijue heard this, he looked embarrassed and said: "What Duke Jianchuan taught me is that the world is really worried about this at this time. However, I foolishly thought that there is no need to mention the reform of the Dharma in this memorial. If the two things are mixed, the emperor will think too much."
It’s not good if you don’t.”
Wang Chonggu thought, although this stick can't be a good person, his political sensitivity and ability to grasp the emperor's heart are extremely good. So it is impossible to say how far he can go in the end.
Pan Sheng and Li Youzi are die-hard Zhang Party members. They signed the memorial, and they also meant to share the pressure for Zhang Juzheng. It is estimated that Zhang Juzheng should also go to his hometown to give advice at this time. Well, fortunately today, Wang Yuanyu took out the memorial.
Look, otherwise I would have made a mistake, what a risk!
Thinking of this, Wang Chonggu smiled and said: "Then I won't change it. I will also sign my name to help Yuan Yu! Bring me a pen!"
Wang Xijue's face was full of joy and he praised Wang Chonggu so much. Wang Chonggu was a little dizzy after being flattered by him. After the servants brought the pen and ink, Wang Chonggu opened the title book and wrote his name while laughing:
"Yuan Yu doesn't need to be overly praised. Rather, you have become famous all over the world in an instant. This is the merit of bringing Buddha to thousands of families!"
After hearing this, Wang Xijue said with a smile: "This is not the merit of the lower official. If the emperor accepts the advice, God's grace will be great. However, the immortal master Tan Yangzi is indeed enshrined in the lower official's home. The immortal master's physical body was originally the second daughter of the lower official, Tao.
Zhen, now that Taoism has been accomplished, it has already reached the realm of Bigu. Wang Fengzhou and Xiaguan have already worshiped Tan Yangzi as their teacher. If you are good at Taoism, Xiaguan is willing to recommend him."
When Wang Chonggu heard this, his hands shook, and he almost wanted to tear the memorial to him. He held the brush holder, resisted the urge to hit Wang Xijue's face with the tip of the brush, and cursed in his heart: "I didn't have time to receive the goods.
