The platform call in the first year of Wanli lasted for four hours. During the period, Empress Dowager Li was afraid that the emperor would freeze, so she ordered the call to be moved to Wenyuan Pavilion to continue.
During this period, the emperor also ordered a banquet in Wenyuan Pavilion, and he and Yuan Fu should be eating and talking. It was not until the palace door was about to be closed that any courtiers saw Zhang Juzheng respectfully escorting the emperor back to the inner palace.
When Yuan Fu caught a glimpse of Zhang Juzheng, he saw that Zhang Juzheng's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He didn't seem to be happy about receiving this special favor, nor did he look like he was having a dispute with the emperor. He couldn't help but be curious.
Some of the wise men in the Hanlin Academy went to the house of the living official at night to ask. Unexpectedly, the official's expression also seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said: "Yuanfu has said that this grand ceremony should be announced to the world. Why should you bother?"
Are you anxious? If I had said it first, I would have been charged." When everyone saw what he said, they dispersed in dismay.
When the officer saw that his colleagues had all left, his legs went limp and he sat down on the floor of his house, secretly saying: "The lives of the three clans have been saved."
In the following days, Zhang Juzheng went to express his gratitude first, and his words were sincere, including "The Lord has given you the unexpected kindness, and treated me with courtesy, and I am deeply grateful for it", and "The words of the king and father are sincere, and the minister is full of kindness."
Expressions such as "I'm so grateful".
Although there was no mention of the content of the summons, he was only grateful for the summons, but at the same time, he also requested a decree to make the content of the summons known to the world.
The emperor's edict was powerful. Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the Grand Tutor of the Zuozhu Kingdom. He was granted a salary of a count, and was also given a hundred taels of silver and two bullfighting robes. He also said, "An extraordinary person is asked to do extraordinary things, so there is no need for the minister to refuse."
Waiting for words, Zhang Juzheng once again expressed his gratitude.
One of the officials with hot eyes heard this and said, "This is the first time I heard that two bullfighting uniforms are given. Can you change them and wear them?" Everyone laughed after hearing this.
It was all pretentious, and everyone in the government and the public knew that Zhang Juzheng was already in charge of the country, and Pei Ran could not take it!
In the spring of spring, when the ice on the Yongding River melts and the business travelers at the Tongzhou Canal Pier are busy again. The imperial court issued two documents, one is "Platform Zhao Duilu", the main content is that the emperor and Zhang Juzheng discussed "Chen Chen"
"Six Matters", which turns the six items of "province discussion, strengthen discipline and outline, emphasize edicts, verify names and facts, consolidate the foundation of the country, and order military preparations" into a question-and-answer dialogue, compiled in a decent way.
In the last paragraph of "Platform Zhao Duilu", it is written that the emperor stated his ambitions and Zhang Juzheng was happy and excited. In fact, not a single sentence of the subsequent dialogue between the two was recorded and all were deleted. The questions and answers about family and country, the debate between Huayi and other sentences were also deleted.
Not left.
The other one is Zhang Juzheng's "Please inspect the chapter and report according to the examination to revise the practical affairs" written by Zhang Juzheng on the platform. It is also attached with the content of the emperor's red pen comment: "What you said is that if the examination is not successful, how can you have any foundation?"
Achievements, all these memorials will be carried out in accordance with the agreement."
Later, at the back of the memorial, there was a long sentence written by the emperor in red pen: "All ministries, academies, and governments are based on the examination method. Those who have not completed the examination at the end of the year, who have money, food, education, relief, river work, investigation of theft, etc., will be sent to other places."
Go to Beijing and give an account in front of me, and those in Beijing will be dismissed from their posts pending investigation."
When the willow cages in Beijing are covered with goose yellow, and when the swallows return north, these two edicts are printed by the General Affairs Department, and along with the express delivery network under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Military Department and the Qing Officials Department, they radiate to the remote areas of the empire with Beijing as the center.
And go.
When the news arrived in Nanjing, Li Xiuqing, the garrison eunuch of Nanjing, was in the inner hall, wearing only a midriff, waving a big fan, and discussing with a garrison eunuch named Wang Quanzan: "Jinren, what do you think of this edict?"
Wang Jinren held the ink-scented Di newspaper printed by the Secretary of General Affairs in his hand. He thought about it again and again, and then said: "The emperor clearly wants to cheer up. This first step is probably to govern the officials."
Li Xiuqing nodded in agreement, waved her hand to call for her personal attendant, and said: "Please arrange for someone to copy this residence report immediately, send it to Xiaoling Shrine, and hand it over to Mr. Feng." The personal attendant agreed and took over Wang Shaojian.
The newspaper I handed over has been arranged.
When Wang Jinren first saw Li Xiuqing arranging such a thing, he couldn't help but ask: "What does Mr. Xiushan mean by this? This Feng Bao is already waiting for death, why are you still so respectful to him?"
Li Xiuqing laughed when he heard this and said: "According to common sense, it really shouldn't be like this. I also knew that Feng Bao was going to die. But did you know that when he left the capital, he was wearing a royal cloak, accompanied by Dongchang fans and Jinyi guards?
Who dares to be disrespectful to the army? They came to Nanjing in a carriage without even wearing shackles!"
After saying that, he smiled sinisterly and said, "I thought our family could make a profit. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. The family wealth of this ceremonial supervisor is more than the 400,000 taels mentioned in the residence newspaper?" He sighed and said, "Now, our family can touch it."
It’s not up to the emperor, but it’s better to respect Feng Bao!”
The young man was listening. He felt like there was a needle growing under his buttocks, and he couldn't twist it. He didn't dare to leave suddenly, and asked: "Is it possible that the emperor still has the intention of resurrecting him?"
Eunuch Li said: "My family doesn't know about this. However, in just a few days, Chen Ju, the admiral of Dongchang, has sent three letters, but they were all handed over to our family. Although I don't know what he wrote, but Feng Bao even didn't have the imperial cloak.
, just holding the covers of these letters, anyone in Nanjing who wants to fish easily has to weigh them carefully!"
Wang Jinren saw sweat on his forehead, and he apologized in a low voice: "I am humble, but I remembered that I have an urgent matter that I haven't done yet. If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Xiushan, please allow me to take my leave first."
Seeing Li Shoubei nodding, Young Inspector Wang took three steps at a time and ran out of the Guard House. Eunuch Li looked at his back, threw his fan away, and sneered: "You blind thing, do you think you won't look up when you get to Nanjing?"
You deserve the bloodshed!"
Not to mention the curses behind Eunuch Li's back, Wang Quanzan quickly ran back to his private house and called his wife urgently: "Yesterday, our family arranged for the second uncle to go to Xiaoling to find Feng Bao. Has he gone?"
The lady's surname was Xiang, who turned out to be a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River. She was also called a thin horse in Yangzhou. Because she became a false couple with the eunuch Wang, the family and relatives who sold her to her in the past came to find her, and they talked to Wang Shaojian Xu
Got a kiss.
Wang Shaojian came to Nanjing for the first time from the Luoyang garrison, and he had no one he was close to, so he accepted it. Unexpectedly, the first thing he did when he started was that he was in trouble. The three corpses jumped up in panic and pulled their hair with their hands.
Seeing that his wife was only obedient and couldn't explain why, he quickly called his servants and went to Xiang Ji's house to look for someone.
After a while, Xiang Ji came. Seeing Eunuch Wang's face change, he was surprised and said, "Why are you like this?" When he turned to look at his sister, Mrs. Xiang was also confused and confused. When Eunuch Wang saw him coming,
, as if seeing a phoenix, he exhaled and asked: "Have you gone to Xiaoling today?"
Xiang Ji rubbed his head and said coyly: "I got caught up in something today and didn't go. I'll forgive you, sir."
Young Inspector Wang let out a breath, but heard his second uncle say: "But I arranged for He Laojiu to go. He Laojiu is ruthless and evil. I guess he should expose Feng Baopi at this moment."
layer."
Wang Shaojian's face turned pale, he cried out "Ku Ye" and fell to the ground with a thud.
