With one word, Wang Xijue made Wang Chonggulei's skin burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. Wang Chonggu thought to himself: "Is this guy a fool? Or is he a hypocrite?" He was thinking in his mind, and he laughed loudly and said: "I'm obsessed with my appearance, 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 smiled bitterly: "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 turn into a villain and jump into Wang Xijue's cavity to see what color his heart was. In my mind, I ran through Wang Xijue's resume from beginning to end:
Wang Xijue became a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing's reign, and subsequently served as editor of the Hanlin Academy and director of the Imperial Academy. When Gao Gong was in power, he opposed Gao Gong on the two issues of moving the history museum out of town and taking up the post of lecturer in the East Palace. He was sent to Nanjing to work as the head of the Imperial Academy for a period.
After Zhang Juzheng came to power, Wang Xijue was like a rocket. He was first recalled to serve as the vice president of "Records of Mu Zong", and then served as the chief examiner of the Shuntianfu Township Examination and the deputy examiner of the General Examination. This was a typical "preserver prime minister" treatment in the Ming Dynasty - it was convenient for him to grasp talents and plan 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 Grade Imperial College Imperial Concubine Jijiujiu, and then as the Young Master of the Zhan Shifu, Zhan Shifu and concurrently as the Bachelor of Attendant. At this time, he was already in the third rank, only two heights away from Wang Chonggu. Not surprisingly, 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 you", and said with a smile: "Yuan Yu doesn't want to go out? With your qualifications, you can put a governor outside, with eight living rooms, and call at the front and back. With the power of support, he can be captured easily."
Wang Xijue raised his head when he heard this and looked at Wang Chonggu with bright eyes. Wang Chonggu continued: "I had a chat with Wang Guoguang before, and I heard from him that the emperor intends to reform the old system in which academicians must come from the Imperial Academy -" At this point, he paused and took a closer look at Wang Xijue.
Seeing that there was no excitement on Wang Xijue's face, he just listened quietly to what he said. Wang Chonggu completely 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 and county.' Although he didn't say anything else, the Holy Heart has made it clear. I'm afraid that the path of being a Hanlin prime minister will not work in the future. ”
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 and powerful general can only save the world and save the time, and 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 obvious about being respectful and arrogant. He kept silent after hearing the words and only sighed twice.
Wang Xijue hesitated to speak, and finally made up his mind, Tu Qiongdagger said: "To be honest, Duke 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 the baby under his leather robe had been hit by the hot sun. He had no choice but to deal with it by saying: "One or two books will not help. If you want the emperor to take him seriously, you have to jointly submit the report. This is afraid of being ridiculed by the party committee." First, use the talking head to block Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue said with emotion: "At this time, the world is in turmoil. I am just thinking that I have to do something." After saying that, he stared at Wang Chonggu with burning eyes. Those big eyes seemed to be able to talk.
At this time, Wang Chonggu felt regretful and his intestines were about to break. There was a black little Wang Chonggu in his heart who pushed the white little man to the ground and slapped him fiercely. He sighed, took off the tortoise-shell leg spectacles produced by Rishenglong, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands, as if to rub off the oily skin on his nose.
After thinking for a long time, he said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Well, can I take a look at your question book first?"
When Wang Xijue heard what Wang Chonggu said, he had a clear idea and 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, and he has been guided by the right path in all aspects of 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 interrogated. 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 civilized assassination case. There is no need to prove Jin Yiwei's mistake, and 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 have gone too far."
"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 and intend to redress the grievances." Point out that the Jinyiwei used major cases to defeat the 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.
"Officials who do wrong will have an excuse to be cruel. They accept bribes from rich landowners and cannot take them all, so they all fall into poverty. If Lu Yan becomes empty, what will the general of the country rely on?" This sentence is powerful. Wang Xijue pointed out sharply, The emperor is the general representative of the landlord class. You have killed everyone of your own class. Who else 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 support 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 even if Jin Yiwei did this. Does he still want to continue messing around?
After admonishing the emperor from several angles, he wrote a sentence about reform in the title book: "The emperor has launched a grand plan to reform the holy government, and all the shortcomings have been rectified. 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 discipline, and to rectify the origins, all the people in the world know this." 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 law of filial piety is to be close to the virtuous, to learn from others, and to love others prudently. It is suitable to be harmonious and auspicious, and to be able to rest and gather together. Why should he lie down thousands of miles away in anger, almost endangering the country? This is not enough for future generations. "Finally, I would like to advise you, don't leave a bad example to your descendants.
Wang Chonggu saw a long blank page at the back of the memorial and signed a bunch of names 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. His heart moved. Looking further down, the first among the senior officials is Guo Chaobin, followed by Li Youzi, Pan Sheng and Yang Shaoqing Yang Junmin - it seems that Wang Xijue found him fifth.
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 make political peace', 'Reform is particularly important to words, and those who enter the prison will be afraid. If the words are 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 about it?"
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 is not good at being a human being, its political sensitivity and ability to grasp the king's heart are extremely wonderful. Therefore, it is impossible to say how far he will reach in the end.
Pan Sheng and Li Youzi were 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 be admonishing him in his hometown at this time. Well, luckily I asked Wang Yuanyu to take out the memorial and read it today, 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. Wang Chonggu was stunned by his series of flattery. After the servants brought the pen and ink, Wang Chonggu unfolded the title book, wrote his name and said with a smile:
"Yuan Yu doesn't need to be overly praised. On the contrary, 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 you have achieved great success in Taoism and have reached the realm of bigu as early as possible. 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 and resisted the urge to smash the tip of the pen into Wang Xijue's face. He cursed in his heart: "You don't have time to get the goods, this guy is still a stick!"
