In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Xu Pu who dared to fight back against the civil servant group with Wan'an as the head of the cabinet, there was another person who stood up. Unlike Xu Pu, Xu Pu faced Zhenggang in the capital, who was fighting "guerrilla" in Nanjing.
Like Xu Pu, this man is also older, even older than Xu Pu, but he also has the same heart to serve the country as Xu Pu. This man was promoted to Jinshi in the 13th year of Zhengtong and was selected as a good scholar. Later, he served as the left commentator of Dali Temple, moved to the deputy position of Zuo Temple, and successively served as the magistrate of Yangzhou, the chief envoy of Jiangxi, the governor of Henan, the Zuo Shilang of the Nanjing Criminal Ministry, the censor of the Zuo Deputy Capital, and the Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of War and the censor of the Zuo Deputy Capital.
It stands to reason that such a talent should have a bright future, but the fact is that this guy has a very straightforward personality and never minces words when he speaks. He often remonstrated with the emperor directly, but after all, not every emperor was as open-minded as Tang Taizong Li Shimin. Naturally, he would not please the emperor if he spoke too much. Therefore, in the 22nd year of Chenghua, he was forced to become an official and stay at home to work on the farm. This person was Wang Shu, a famous minister in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Wang Shu worked as a farmer at home and seemed oblivious to what was going on outside the window, everything that happened in the capital could not escape his ears. He had many friends in the capital, and these friends often wrote to him to report everything that happened in the court, so as to make accurate judgments. Wang Shu was waiting for an opportunity. He knew in his heart that if he grasped this opportunity, he would not only make a comeback, but also serve in the central government.
When Wang Shu learned that the chief minister of the cabinet, Wan An, was temporarily suspended, he thought that an opportunity had come! He wrote a memorial to impeach Wan An overnight and handed it to his friends in Beijing. On the same day the memorial was sent, Wang Shu said with a smile: "Madam, hurry up and pack up and prepare to go to Beijing."
Mrs. Wang didn't believe it. Wang Shu had been floating in the officialdom for more than 40 years and still had no chance to enter the capital. He was already over 70 years old. His Majesty would still use him? Mrs. Wang only said that Wang Shu was getting old and was starting to be confused and talk nonsense, so she just responded casually.
A few days later, Wang Shu's memorial came into the hands of Zhu Youtang. As a time traveler of later generations, Zhu Youtang still knew Wang Shu's name.
"Huai'en, this memorial was submitted by Wang Shu. He impeached Wan Anna just like you. I think it's well written. Take a look."
Zhu Youtang handed the memorial to Huai'en. As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the confidant of Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang often let Huai'en read some important memorials. Wynn is also very grateful for this. As he gets older, he can't help being moved to tears.
Wynn took it and looked at it carefully, and praised it repeatedly: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang said is reasonable. He had made several mistakes when the late emperor was here, but unfortunately he dismissed them all."
"This Wang Shu is indeed a talent, but he is a bit older." Zhu Youtang said deliberately.
"You should always be strong. Even if a person with lofty ambitions reaches old age, his ambition will not stop. I think the emperor can give him a chance."
Zhu Youtang burst out laughing and threw an orange to Huai En: "This orange is good, you try it. I will follow your words and pass on my oral instructions to summon Wang Shu to the capital."
Zhu Youtang was eating oranges when a young eunuch called out in a low voice at the door: "Grandpa Huang, the Empress Dowager has asked you to sort out the late Emperor's belongings."
The relics of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen? Just in time to see what treasure my dad has.
After tidying up for a while, Zhu Youtang found a large number of small porcelains. These porcelains have smooth glaze, thin body and light body, bright colors and beautiful painting style.
Zhu Youtang couldn't help praising the wisdom of the ancients. The quality of these porcelains was exquisite, and some of them were not available in future generations.
In addition to the finely crafted porcelain, there is also a filament lamp. According to Zhu Youtang’s understanding, this kind of filament lamp is only used by the royal family as an exclusive tribute to the palace. Later, because the production technology of the filament lamp was leaked, it was widely spread among the people. . Because of the low price of raw materials, many profit-seeking businesses began mass production. Eventually, the quality continued to decline and the authentic craftsmanship was completely lost.
At this time, a delicate small drawer appeared in front of Zhu Youtang. Zhu Youtang carefully opened the drawer and saw a beautifully packaged small painting book inside.
Did Zhu Jianshen record the national treasure map in this small painting book? But when Zhu Youtang opened the small painting book, his face suddenly became hot and hot. The paintings in this small painting book are so vivid, it is more like an island country than an island country! It also records a large number of secret techniques in the house. The last page of this picture book has three characters "Chen Anjin" written in it!
Zhu Youtang hid the small drawing book and planned to keep it for himself for future use, but this matter could not end like this! Zhu Youtang pretended to be furious and cursed Wan'an several times. The curse spread throughout the palace, and the maids and eunuchs were all trembling with fear.
Wynn heard Zhu Youtang's scolding and waited outside the door for Zhu Youtang to speak.
"Huai'en, please pass on my instructions quickly and tell Wan'an to come here quickly. I'm waiting for him in Xinuang Pavilion."
Wan An is living an early retirement life at home. Although he has been suspended from work for a few days by Zhu Youtang, there is still an endless stream of officials coming to his house to give gifts. On some political matters between the DPRK and China, officials have to ask for their opinions. Except for Liu Ji and Yin Zhi, the second assistants to the cabinet, they had never been here since he was suspended, and they seemed to be deliberately alienating themselves, but Wan An was not panicked at all. He also firmly believed that the emperor would re-enable him sooner or later. Wan'an was overjoyed today when he heard that his Majesty had summoned him to the palace. After freshening up, he entered the palace in high spirits. On the way, he even thought that if Zhu Youtang asked him to continue to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet, he would have to refuse again and again to let Zhu Youtang know that I, Wan An, also have a temper. of!
After Wan An happily entered the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, he realized that he might have thought wrong. Zhu Youtang was reading "The Biography of the Ten Traitors" with a straight face. Huai'en and He Ding, the two most powerful eunuchs, stood nearby and stared at him.
"I, Wan'an, see your Majesty."
Zhu Youtang didn't even look at Wan An. Huai En dropped a pile of memorials at Wan An's feet. Since Wan'an can be the chief minister of the cabinet, in addition to cooperating with Li Zi Province to introduce Fangzhongshu and having the support of Concubine Wan Gui, he is also very good at observing people's words and trying to figure out the holy will. From Wynn's "throwing" action and the expression on Zhu Youtang's face, Wan An knew that today was either a good thing or a bad thing.
Wan An made up his mind, as long as he stayed here shamelessly, Zhu Youtang could not do anything to him. He had been the chief minister of the cabinet for more than ten years, what big storms had he not seen? I have made many mistakes before, but as long as I pretend to be stupid and crazy, I can turn the bad things into good ones.
But when Wan An opened the first memorial and looked at the name on it, he suddenly felt despair.
