Chapter five hundred and ninety one is unparalleled in the world!
Although there are five sons in the family, the eldest son, the third son and the fourth son, both died young. The second son, Jiao Rui, out of kindness, was awarded officials starting from the seventh rank. The grandchildren are still young, so they are not interested in the successful career of Jiao Huangzhong. As the youngest son, Jiaohuangzhong has always placed great hopes on him. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he unexpectedly failed in the subject of Jiaohuangzhong. He was already holding back a ball of fire in his heart. Now that he has finally entered the cabinet and became the second assistant, he can only wait for Li Dongyang to be unable to bear it. , he was able to assume the position of chief minister at the peak of his life. How could he have thought that before the examination next year, he would end up in such a charred state that he could not even get out of bed and even speak?
"That Nanbarbarian, if I had known what happened, I shouldn't have let him go in the first place!"
She didn't know how many times she had recited these words. Seeing her charred wife leaning on him and crying like tears, Jiao Fang became even more impatient for a moment. She gritted her teeth and turned around and left the room. Seeing him leaving the Tai Hospital The imperial doctors who were invited all had sad faces. He couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "You are all experts in the imperial hospital. If you can cure the child as soon as possible, you will definitely be rich in money, and I will definitely be richly rewarded in the future." place!"
Several imperial doctors looked at each other for a while, and one of the oldest ones had to stand up under the eyes of others, but said helplessly: "Mr. Jiao Ge, it's not that we don't try our best, it's actually the young master who is so angry that he is heartbroken. , so that the qi and blood in the brain are disordered, almost like a mini-stroke. If someone had been around to see the doctor at that time, it might have been possible to save it, but now it can only be nursed back to health slowly, and it will take at least three to five months to recover."
Three or five months? This examination will be in March next year. It will only take half a year to complete. If all this time is used to recuperate and all those classics and histories are thrown away, how will the examination be carried out next year? Moreover, Jiaohuang Zhong is only a few years old. I had a minor stroke at the age of 18. What will I do in the future? Three of Jiao Fang’s five sons have already died. Is it possible that he always has to give away the white-haired one to the black-haired one?
Jiao Fang felt the veins on her forehead twitching wildly, and said in a deep voice: "In short, you just try your best to save people. I have always been a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If I am cured, it will naturally be your request. I will do everything I can. .But if you are just trying to push me away, I am not such an angry person!"
Seeing Jiao Fang saying these words, she rolled up her sleeves and walked out. Several imperial doctors exchanged glances with each other. One of them, young and energetic, couldn't help but sneered: "He only knows how to play tricks with us. If he has the ability, he will go to Pingbei Hou." Get this justice back! Moreover, I have only heard of people beating people to death, but I have never heard of people scolding people to death. If you don’t have a guilty conscience, how can a few words have such an effect!"
His voice was very loud, and he could clearly hear it clearly in the room, which was already sobering up. He was so angry that he couldn't breathe anymore. In the end, he lost his breath again. Seeing that he suddenly fainted again, The wife on the side was immediately frightened and called for help. When the few imperial doctors outside heard the sound, they naturally entered in a hurry. The old doctor who started to deal with Jiao Fang glanced at the colleague who had just spoken. He couldn't help but sigh and whispered: " But you shouldn't say this here. If there is something wrong in the burnt yellow, his father can't kill Xu Xun. How can he take it out on you!"
Although he knew that his senior had good intentions, the young imperial doctor gritted his teeth and finally sneered: "I am the imperial physician of the imperial hospital. I only come here to treat him because he is the second minister of the cabinet. I have to make this trip, but it's also It’s not what it should be! One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. If he really wants to find trouble with me, the imperial doctor, I will accompany him, as long as he is not afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the capital! Mr. Huang, I am too lazy to stay here any longer. I will go back to the imperial hospital and wait. If someone makes trouble for me, say goodbye!"
Seeing the man put down his words and turn around to leave, the old doctor was stunned for a moment, then turned around with a wry smile. If it weren't for the fact that he had a whole family of young and old at home, he would have been so angry at Jiao Fang's ruthless character.
, he also wished he could leave the Jiao family without looking back. He was too lazy to deal with this vicious and vicious cabinet minister!….
Jiao Fang didn't know that something like this happened at home again. After he left the house in Jiaohuangzhong, he went back to his room, changed his clothes and went out, but went straight to the Liu Mansion in Shajia Hutong. Yesterday he was beaten very hard in front of Liu Jin.
After playing the cards of tragedy, today he planned to show his advantage and let Liu Jin take advantage of the opportunity when Xu Xun's power was greatly weakened to immediately turn against him and take action. Sitting in the sedan chair, folding up the manuscripts in his heart, he felt that he could get 70% to 80% success.
He hoped to persuade Liu Jin, so when he got off the sedan in front of the Liu Mansion, he knew that many people outside were looking at him, so he deliberately made his expression more serious before getting out of the sedan.
Although the Liu Mansion's access control is extremely strict now, even if you bring a large sum of money, you may not be able to knock on the door, but after all, Jiao Fang is a person who often comes and goes, and he is an official in the cabinet. When he comes, he will naturally be immediately
Someone reported in. After a while, Zhang Wenmian came out in person. This scholar from Huating politely bowed his hand to Jiao Fang, and his words were also extremely polite, but Jiao Fang was stunned on the spot.
Already.
"Mr. Jiao Ge, Eunuch Liu is not at home today, and he said that he has not had time to take a rest in recent days. If something happens, he will naturally send someone to the cabinet to tell him. If something happens to you, you can also send someone to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to tell him."
Are you kidding me? Now Liu Jin is not like before, he said he would take a break every five days and ten days, but he often brings the memorials from the Supervisor of Ceremonies directly to his private residence.
I can’t come out of the palace!
Jiao Fang suppressed the anger in her heart and made her voice as calm as possible: "Mr. Zhang, I have an extremely important matter to discuss with Eunuch Liu. Can you send Eunuch Liu a letter and ask him to come out of the palace when he has time?
"
"Well, it's really not that the students don't help Mr. Jiao Ge. After all, the ceremonial supervisor is in the imperial city. It's too difficult not to send a letter in, but to ask the father-in-law to come out of the palace. How can I do this? Besides, Mr. Jiao Ge, you are
Even if we are doing things in Wenyuan Pavilion in Miyagi City, it is much easier to send someone to be the Supervisor of Ceremonies than it is for students." Zhang Wenmian came here while doing Tai Chi for a while, and saw Jiao Fang's face becoming more and more gloomy, thinking that he had received Liu Jin's instruction last night to give Liu Jin
When Yu sent the letter, the other party looked ecstatic. He didn't want to deal with Jiao Fang any more. He immediately cupped his hand and said, "In short, the student really has no choice. I ask Mr. Jiao Ge to be considerate. There are many things in the house.
The students have to leave first!”
Watching Zhang Wenmian slip away so fast, Jiao Fang didn't have to look back to hear the bursts of discussion coming from the Shajia alley behind him. But even if he gritted his teeth, he could only pretend to be nonchalant and get back into the sedan.
, when the sedan finally started to move, he held on to the armrests tightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of frustration in his heart.
Liu Jin didn't want to see him. Liu Jin, who had always regarded him as his right-hand man, didn't want to see him! Someone must have said something in front of Liu Jin, either Liu Yu or Cao Yuan... No, it must be Zhang Cai! I wish I had suggested that Liu Jin accept Zhang Cai
Cai, because Zhang Cai is a womanizer and arrogant. If he betrays his master and joins another family, Xu Xun can break Xu Xun's arm. Facts have proved that he was indeed right about Zhang Cai's temperament.
But who would have thought that Zhang Cai, who was not very popular next to Xu Xun, would be so sharp after switching to Liu Jin, and almost do whatever Liu Jin said, so much so that Liu Yu asked for help after he was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Look at their faces! Even though Liu Yu and Cao Yuan are high-ranking officials, they don't have the ability to speak out in front of Liu Jin. Only Zhang Cai, only Zhang Cai can persuade Liu Jin so easily!
"I shouldn't push this. Damn it, I'm looking for an opponent for myself!"
Jiao Fang's face turned ferocious as he muttered to himself. He didn't know how long it had passed before an idea suddenly popped into his mind. If Zhang Cai's previous actions were nothing more than a cover-up, he would only surrender to Liu Jin to serve as an inside spy.
In fact, is he still secretly communicating with Xu Xun? Yes, that must be the case, otherwise why would he use his own medicine in front of Liu Jin! Xu Xun has always been a very shrewd person. How could he let go of Zhang Cai so easily?
He should have figured it out a long time ago, and it’s not too late to remind Liu Jin now!…
After hiding from Jiao Fang for two days, Liu Jin was used to being in power now, and was not used to being confined in the small space of the Palace Clerk. That evening, he did not show off, and just took an inconspicuous carriage from
He went back to his house through the back door. Thinking that he still had a few memorials about personnel affairs piled up on his hands, he had no choice but to order someone to go to Zhang Cai's place to invite him over. As soon as the people arrived, he ordered the cook to serve wine and food immediately, while exchanging glasses and exchanging glasses.
While talking about official matters, Zhang Cai could dispel the hesitation and difficulty in his heart with just a few words. When he was drunk, he only felt that his heart wanted to be as happy as he wanted, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab it.
Zhang Cai’s sleeves.
"In the early years of our family, we heard people talking about the Three Kingdoms. Everyone said that Liu Bei was so happy that he had Zhuge Kongming. He even knitted a straw hat himself to give it to his military advisor. Being scolded by others made him even happier. At that time, our family
I just thought that the person who wrote the book was making it up. Now that I have met Mr. Xilu, I realize that this kind of joy is not strange at all, it is completely deserved! Our family got Mr. Xilu, just like Liu Bei got Kongming back then. If it could have been ten years earlier
When we meet again, there is no room for that boy Xu Xun to run rampant!"
"My father-in-law is drunk."
Zhang Cai smiled slightly, but this time he did not break away from Liu Jin's hand, but said calmly: "How can a certain person with no virtue or talent be comparable to Zhuge Wuhou? Moreover, please be careful when saying such things, otherwise if you let
When people hear that my father-in-law compares himself to Liu Bei, I am afraid that rumors will spread and my father-in-law will be in big trouble."
"Uh... yes, our family was so happy that we forgot about it for a while!" Liu Jin patted his head, then picked up the pot and poured Zhang Cai a cup, and then said with a smile, "In that case,
Our family will give another toast to Mr. Xilu!"
"I don't dare to accept it, thank you father-in-law!"
After saying this, Zhang Cai was very bold and drank the glass of wine. Faced with such behavior, Liu Jin was even more happy. He drank two or three more glasses in one go, and his face became even redder.
He got up. Just when he burped, and was almost about to tell Zhang Cai that he would definitely recommend him to be the examiner for next year's exam, there was a sudden noise outside, and soon after, he saw Jiao Fang taking only three steps.
And broke in in two steps.
"It's already this time. Is your father-in-law still interested in drinking and having fun?"
Liu Jin was about to frown and ask Jiao Fang how he came in. When he suddenly heard such a sentence, he immediately became unhappy and said angrily: "Our family has been working hard in the palace all day long. It is rare to come back today and invite Xilu for a few drinks.
What does it have to do with you? But you didn’t even bother to inform me and just barged into our house. We didn’t even ask you what you wanted!”
Jiao Fang knew that Liu Jin had always had this kind of temper towards others, so she didn't bother to care about the tone of that woman. She stared at Zhang Cai who was still pouring herself a drink and shouted: "Zhang Cai, don't think that no one knows what you are thinking! I think back then Xu Xu
Xun has always been very kind to you. The person who comes to the Xu Mansion the most is not Lin Han, Zhang Fuhua and Xie Duo, but you, Zhang Cai! I was thinking that you would turn to Eunuch Liu instead, but now I finally understand that you clearly understand
I'm in Cao's camp but my heart is with Han, so I plan to serve as an internal support for Xu Xun!"
Zhang Cai was immediately happy when he heard that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. Before, Liu Jin compared himself to Liu Bei and compared him to Kong Ming, but now Jiao Fang directly compared him to Xu Shu and compared Liu Jin to Cao Cao.
!Seeing that Liu Jin was stunned for a moment. He said unhurriedly: "Mr. Jiao Ge, everyone says that you have a bad temper and are not good at studying. I still don't believe it, but today I have to tell you. This allusion is yours
Isn't it a mistake? Think about how Xu Shu was forced by Cao Cao and his mother to betray Liu to Cao Cao, but he never made any plans for Cao Cao in his whole life. But what about me? From the day Cai Cai came to Liu Eunuch's house, I made plans.
How many, how many have been done?”
Liu Jin suddenly thought of Zhang Cai's clauses, and how he started to vigorously investigate the removal of officials based on those clauses. Jiao Fang's previous words caused ripples in his heart and he immediately felt pity.
Come down. Faced with Zhang Cai's sharp answer, Jiao Fang couldn't help but choked and got stuck for a moment...
However, since he had won the victory, Zhang Cai would not let go of the opportunity to pursue the victory. He immediately sneered and said: "On the contrary, Mr. Jiao Ge said that Marquis Pingbei was not kind to me. I have never denied this. If it were not Marquis Pingbei,
It is impossible for me to move from being the Minister of Wenxuan to being the censor of the capital, and then to be the right deputy censor of the capital, and now I am the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It is just that we have different ways and do not work together. Since the Marquis of Pingbei cannot accept my methods of reforming the officialdom,
But Eunuch Liu agreed wholeheartedly. In that case, what if I change the family? I dare to ask Eunuch Liu, since I have been a frequent visitor to the Liu Mansion in Shajia Hutong, have I ever said that I am not the Marquis of Pingbei? Have I ever said that I am the Marquis of Pingbei?
What kind of secrets did you discuss with me in the past? Did you ever stab someone in the back? Never!"
Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that since Zhang Cai became one of his own, even if the other party didn't tell him, he had never had the idea of inquiring about Xu Party's situation from him, let alone asking about it. While he was pondering, Zhang Cai
Cai spoke again.
"Furthermore, have you ever heard of me, father-in-law? When I was with Pingbei Hou, did I ever plan anything for him?"
Seeing Liu Jin showing a more shaken expression this time, seeing Jiao Fang's expression showing deeper suspicion and distrust, Zhang Cai suddenly smiled proudly.
I think that when he was accused of reversing the election method, he angrily went to court, and then because he wrote a letter to talk about the four events after the victory of Shacheng, he suddenly stood on the cusp of the storm. As a result, Zhu Houzhao gave him a few words of praise, and he was allowed to return to the official position again.
After a long time, he found out that Xu Xun had asked someone to send his memorial to the imperial court. Then he met the assassin in the middle of the night. After Li Yifeng rescued him, he invited him to Beizhen Fusi.
At that time, Xu Xun actually rushed to Beizhen Fusi overnight and said a lot of heartfelt words to him. A scholar dies for his confidant. Probably, from then on, he became aware of the other party's sincerity and devoted himself to it.
When he was under his command, he planned for him many times, but he always stayed behind the scenes without showing any trace.
Therefore, when Zhang Cai was with Xu Xun, even though he was promoted very quickly, he was mostly unknown! Because Xu Xun has been in the limelight since he entered the official career, enough to overshadow anyone else, and he never had the intention
Go express yourself deliberately!
"What, Jiao Ge always can't speak out? Apart from writing a letter to speak out, what else have I planned for Marquis Pingbei?" Zhang Cai's words suddenly turned sharp, and he said like a gust of wind, "
Marquis Pingbei is a man of resourcefulness, so I followed him by his side, just to fill in the gaps for Zhang Fu, Hua, Lin Han and others, just like I did for Mabu Tang in the past. But now that Eunuch Liu relies on me as his confidant, naturally I am
Don’t be afraid of being exposed and be the target of public criticism, and plan for him wholeheartedly. My father-in-law treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him as a national soldier!"
"What a good person to repay as a soldier of the country!"
Liu Jin finally felt that the doubts in his mind were suddenly clear, and he immediately got up. Seeing Jiao Fang's face turned dark, he said coldly: "Old Jiao, our family has always treated you very differently because you have been friends with our family since your early years.
, but this time you slandered people indiscriminately, you really went too far! Your son was humiliated by Xu Xun, and you came to our family crying at that time. Our family was very hesitant. Xilu did say a few things.
A few words, but our family feels that he is right! No matter how talented Jiao Huangzhong is, Xu Xun just scolded him and fell down immediately. What kind of ambition is this? If our family fights with Xu Xun just because of this,
Don’t you want to be laughed at to death? Also, you have recommended many people to our family, how many people have you received bribes from, and how many of them are useful talents?”
"Eunuch Liu, this is Zhang Cai..."
"Zhang Xilu didn't tell you the secrets about your recommendation!" Liu Jin interrupted Jiao Fang impatiently, and then sat down again, with an even colder look on his face, "We see that you and our family are the first,
I have always saved face for you, so I didn’t bother to question you because of a few people, but who knew you were so intolerant of others, so jealous that you could come directly to our house to find a place, you are really not afraid of people’s jokes!
Now Wang Hao is about to lose his strength. If you have this free time, you might as well think about how to fight Li Dongyang in the ring. It's getting late, you go back!"
Having been to and from the Liu Mansion so many times, Jiao Fang has never seen Liu Jin rudely order someone to leave him if they disagree with him, even an official like Liu Yu and Cao Yuan is no exception. She has always been glad that she was the unexpected one.
.However, at this moment, it was his turn to accept such treatment, and he felt choked in his heart. But under Liu Jin's eyes that showed clear disgust, he really didn't know how to fight anymore. Seeing Zhang Caiyong with pity.
Looking at him with eyes, he suddenly understood the anger and pain his son felt when Xu Xun scolded him.
That’s the feeling of trying your best but still getting helpless! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
