After Tan Lun spoke, Hai Rui hurriedly turned around and bowed his hands in salute: "I didn't know I was here, sorry!"
Ben Bing means the Minister of War.
Nowadays, bureaucrats often refer to themselves as Ben Bing or Da Sima instead of Minister of War.
That's how Hai Rui called Tan Lun.
Tan Lun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you are Hai Bijie, I don't dare to accept your courtesy."
"Your Majesty, you are so young, you actually know about me, Haigang Peak?"
Hai Rui walked towards Wang Yongji first and asked excitedly.
Tan Lun followed Hai Rui, but he still wheezed and coughed from time to time.
Tan Lun's current poor health is related to his early years of fighting against the Japanese.
Among the civil servants, he was the most skilled in martial arts and full of courage. When he was the magistrate of Taizhou, he personally went into battle and killed countless Japanese pirates by himself.
Later, he participated in many fierce wars against the Japanese. In this era when the civilized and military were humble, civil servants had the power to recommend military generals for promotion. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Liu Xian, Lu Boring and other famous generals were all promoted by him, all because of him Having experienced the front lines many times, I know the details of the generals.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was injured many times. Tan Lun, who was originally in the best health among the civil servants, became the weakest official in the early Wanli period.
So many times during sacrificial ceremonies, he was often impeached by officials who liked to impeach high officials on minor issues because he could not control his rapid coughing and wheezing caused by lung infection.
Wang Yongji saw that Tan Lun was walking heavily, and even after Hai Rui arrived, he deliberately stopped where he was and said with a smile, "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know your brother Gangfeng?"
"This time not only you, Haigangfeng, have been activated, but Meng Jing (Zhao Zhenji) has also been reinstated into the cabinet."
Tan Lun followed up and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Hai Rui was overjoyed again: "Why can Jiangling be so determined?"
Tan Lun snorted: "Why can't Yuan Fu be so determined?! He allowed you and Meng Jing to enter the court because he intended to make your Majesty irreversible before he took over the throne, so that he could be the king of the prosperous age."
With that said, Tan Lun said: "You don't know, according to Yuan Fuyan, His Majesty is secretly full of energy and eager to govern. He has already personally stayed up late at night to read from Rushan Zhangzou. He knows about you, Haigangfeng, and Zhao Mengjing. If he doesn't take advantage of his youth to solve everything that needs to be solved now and let the world have no trouble, he will inevitably do extreme things in the future and leave a reputation for being mean. Being a minister is to serve the kings of Yao and Shun, not to leave them to the common people for the sake of the country. The name of a tyrant.”
"Really respectable! I didn't expect Jiangling to have such great ambitions."
Hai Rui couldn't help but say.
"Yes! Now it can be considered that a wise king is in power, a good assistant is in charge of the country, and the dynasty is filled with fierce ministers! We can only wait for the prosperous times!"
Wang Yongji sighed sincerely at this time.
"Let's go see Yuan Fu first. It has been decided to implement the imperial examination law. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a heavy responsibility. The Chief Constitution Officer Ge Gong is old. As the deputy constitution officer, you will pass the examination to become the governor of the world."
Tan Lun suggested at this time.
Hai Rui followed Tan Lun towards a carriage with a servant boy waiting.
Wang Yongji did not follow. He only said goodbye to Hai Rui and said, "I have rented a house for my brother."
"This court already knows, I will tell him later."
Tan Lun said with a smile at this time.
Wang Yongji nodded.
Hai Rui had no choice but to step back and bow to Wang Yongji: "It's not easy to live in Chang'an, and it costs a lot of money, brother."
"Friendship doesn't matter."
Tan Lun pulled Hai Rui into the car.
Hai Rui followed Tan Lun to Zhang's house and heard that Zhang Juzheng was already waiting at home. After seeing Zhang Juzheng, he bowed hurriedly and said, "I have met Yuan Fu."
Zhang Juzheng said: "Sit down!"
At that time, after Hai Rui thanked him and sat down, he saw that Zhang Juzheng was still drafting the memorial, so he started looking around, and suddenly he saw that the two maids standing in the palace of the auxiliary palace were both blond and fair-skinned, extremely beautiful and charming. .
Hai Rui took a few more glances and asked Tan Lun, who was sitting next to him, in a low voice: "Is this the rumored Hu Ji given by General Qi?"
"Do you think Yuan Fu is not worthy of the gift of accepting relatives?"
Tan Lun asked directly.
Hai Rui said with a smile: "Of course not. Although the Japanese rebellion has been eliminated in the south, the north still has to rely on the Duke and General Qi. You don't have to accept gifts from others, but the Qi family's spoils should be collected by Yuan Fu for the sake of the country. This is my point. I still know the truth, but there is no need for Yuan Fu to deliberately let me see it, as if I really want to persuade him to drive away these two Hu Ji."
Tan Lun sneered.
After Hai Rui finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng also put down the memorial, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's been a long journey on the Gangfeng Highway. I didn't want to invite you back tomorrow. I just thought that the state affairs were important, so I asked Tan first." Lun invites the Duke to come to the house to talk about it. His Majesty has issued an edict to change the examination system, and I believe that the Duke is aware of it."
At this point, Zhang Juzheng asked someone to hand Hai Rui a handbook of detailed rules for the new examination law that he had written before his case: "Let's take a look. If there is no objection, I will submit the copy and it will be implemented around this year. "
Hai Rui stood up and took the note with both hands. After taking a closer look, he suddenly changed back to his original bitter look and asked directly: "Is this also called passing the exam?"
Zhang Juzheng was stunned.
Tan Lun also put down the tea cup in his hand.
After Hai Rui said that, he stood up and looked at Zhang Juzheng, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Yuanfu, please forgive me for speaking frankly, why do you only test the efficiency of how to handle things? For example, for foreign officials, in addition to the efficiency of how to handle things, Shouldn't they be tested to determine how much tax land, population, and new grain will be added to the area under their jurisdiction? I think that passing the test is not just about becoming a follow-up official, but also about being a cadre. Officials cannot Just to be able to get things done, we must also be able to keep the people at ease. Otherwise, it will inevitably be suspected of being a new coup and a tyranny!"
Hai Rui continued: "Having served as a foreign official for many years, I know very well that I, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, have long been like jackals in front of the people and like domestic dogs in front of the officials and gentry, so the test results like this can only be said to be scratching the surface. It’s not pleasant enough, nor thorough enough!”
Bang!
Ahem!
"What are you talking about? I, Tan Lun, also served as a foreign official. Could it be that I, Tan Lun, also served as a family dog for officials and gentry?"
Tan Lun slapped the table, stood up and said.
Seeing Tan Lun being so excited, Hai Rui couldn't help but feel ashamed, so he had to apologize and smile: "It's my fault of words, please don't be like this! But there aren't many like you."
Tan Lun, with a flushed face, sat down and snorted again.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng was not excited. He only stood up and said, "I will change it according to your suggestion from Haigangfeng!"
"Here you go with the pen! You write!"
As Zhang Juzheng spoke, he really handed over his pen.
"this……"
Hai Rui was quite surprised.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Zili and I have to go to the palace, so we won't accompany you. If you really feel that your test result is not enough, just change it here. If you feel hot, let these two Hu Ji give you a fan." wind."
Hai Rui had no choice but to take the pen with both hands and said, "I'm not hot."
Zhang Juzheng asked Tan Lun here: "Have you prepared the great gift that I asked you to prepare for His Majesty?"
Tan Lun nodded.
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng ordered people to change clothes.
…
"Hai Rui came to Beijing?"
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun also learned about Hai Rui from Zhang Jing on this day.
Since Feng Bao resigned as the admiral of Dongchang, although the admiral of Dongchang began to be concurrently served by Zhang Hong, an eunuch who was unwilling to go against Feng Bao, it was still very different from the time when Feng Bao was the admiral of Dongchang. Zhu Yijun has been able to Through Zhang Jing, I learned some things about the outside world.
Because Zhang Jing is Zhang Hong's godson, and Zhang Hong basically doesn't care much about Guan Dongchang, it turns out that Zhang Jing is actually looking after Dongchang for Zhang Hong.
On the surface, Zhang Jingming has taken refuge with Feng Bao and is Feng Bao's confidant, but in fact he has hugged Zhu Yijun's lap, so he reports everything to Zhu Yijun.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun was able to quickly learn about Hai Rui's arrival in Beijing.
"yes!"
After Zhang Jing replied, he reported: "In addition, Mr. Zhang Yuanfu and Tan Lun are now asking for an audience."
"Let's declare our presence. Let someone prepare some pear soup. Tan Lun needs it."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said.
