Chapter 172: The wind and clouds are moving, the details are the last branches
According to convention, the initiative to seize love should be issued by the Minister of Personnel. Liu Town, Qiwu's order and the request of the Zhang family.
The servant Zhang Juzheng was extremely polite. But Zhang Han was silent for a long time before replying:
"You Qi, did you say this by Brother Taiyue, or did you say it yourself?"
The middle-aged man called You Qi was stunned when he heard this. He had been standing down with his hands down, but now he looked up at Zhang Han in a rude way, and then lowered his head and said:
"The villain doesn't understand what Lord Zhang said
"You Qi, officials under the third rank of the capital will bow and say hello when they see you. Don't you often say that if I become an official, it is normal for me to enter the cabinet. How can I not understand this? Brother Taiyue is a very righteous person, but you sluts who use power outside to destroy his reputation. Today, they still use the name of the name to make me advocate acquit love. This is the eternal rule of mind. How could Brother Taiyue, the leader of Shilin, do this? If my official really advocates it, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of Brother Taiyue?"
These words were stern, but You Qi raised his head with a sneer on his face, but he still said in a respectful tone:
"I understand what Lord Zhang means."
"Irrespect! You are just a nameless slave, but you are so ruthless in front of me. Ding You, the assistant of the dynasty, claimed that you are not as good as a pig or dog, can speak. If you hadn't considered Brother Taiyue's reputation, I would have called someone to tie you up and send you back!
You Qi stood up straight, clasped his fists and said:
"You can't get tied up with me anymore, so You Qi will leave now. What you see and hear today will definitely report back to my master."
The Minister of Personnel Zhang Han angrily patted the coffee table beside him, and You Qi sneered on his face. He turned his head and left without any fear.
You Qi disappeared from his sight, Zhang Han's housekeeper ran over in small steps, and Zhang waved his hand and said:
"From today, no matter whether you are relatives or foreign guests, you will not see me. I am saying that I am infected with wind and cold and are recuperating."
The situation in the capital at the end of October and early November was very strange. Officials of third rank and above were silent. However, officials from Kedao began to write articles to praise Zhang Juzheng, who praised the filial piety of the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng, and abandoned such a position to fulfill his filial piety to his parents. This is a moral model.
There are also sporadic articles that say that the Ming Dynasty must not be unsupported for a day, so how can the public be abolished for personal gain? I beg Mr. Zhang to consider the blessings of the people of the world, and the people are in trouble. I beg the emperor to issue an edict to seize the love.
However, there were no powerful characters involved in the remarks of these two parties. They were all small fish and shrimps. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that these officials were just betting on wealth and wealth in order to gain a position, and no one was sarcastic about their motherhood.
But most people in the game are anxious. The more calm the more they are, there is no movement inside and outside the palace, the more they are in a state of mind.
However, Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, said that he was sick and recuperated. It made his concubine seem to have noticed something. On the second day of November, there were more memorials in the capital praising the filial piety.
At this time, the focus of everyone's attention was of course Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet assistant of the person involved. However, since Zhang Juzheng was mourning in the mansion and stayed in the house, even the food and clothing were delivered by people, and even the servants who went out to buy were not seen. The whole mansion was strictly ordered not to go out.
The only exception is You Qi, Zhang Juzheng's most trusted servant, but he has not been to many places during this period. He visited the Minister of Personnel, Minister of War, and the Left Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate. He did not see him at other times.
"Master, the sea dog medicine sent by Dong Qianhu from Shandong has arrived. The kitchen asked the master if he wanted to cook it today.
In Zhang Juzheng's study, several clerks in the clerk's office were tangled. Zhang Juzheng was just like when he was working in the cabinet. The desk was piled with newspapers and official documents from all over the place, and he reviewed them there.
Hearing the request from the butler outside the door, Zhang Juzheng put down his pen and said with a smile:
"It's rare that this person is willing to let the kitchen do it according to the recipe tonight!"
As soon as the housekeeper left, Zhang Juzheng started to open another note. He took a few glances, but someone else was clamoring for a report:
"Master, Feng Bangning, Governor Feng is here to pay homage
Feng Bangning was Feng Bao's nephew, because Feng Bao's power was quite powerful in the capital, and he also added a high position like the left governor of the Governor's Office.
"I'll go there to receive tea in the living room. I'll stay in the hall for seven services, and everyone else avoided it."
The butler outside agreed and turned around and left. Zhang Juzheng turned around to one:
"Li Xuan proposed a bill in the name of the cabinet, and criticized the land of Qingzhang, Nanzhili, and Nanzhili, which was not favorable. Suzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture must be thoroughly investigated. If there is any obstacle or difficulty, report it to the cabinet urgently. If it is not reported, the local government will be held accountable at that time."
The Literary Office quickly responded, but suddenly thought that the only landlord in Songjiang Prefecture was Zhang Juzheng's teacher Xu Jie. He was a figure who fought against Yan Song and served as a supporter of two dynasties. Songjiang Prefecture is Xu Jie, which has more than 400,000 acres of land. It is said that
But whether you ask these words or not is a sin. As the Internet hesitated, Zhang Juzheng had already walked out of the study room, leaving these people behind to worry.
Although there was such a stir outside, Zhang Juzheng's every move and attitude were relaxed. When he walked to the living room, he heard the two chatting inside.
Although You Qi was a servant, the ministers of all departments were all trying to marry their daughter and sister to You Qi as concubines, so that You Qi could say a few good words in front of Mr. Zhang.
Even though Feng Bangning was Feng Bao's nephew, he didn't dare to be neglected by You Qi. Although the two sat and stood, they seemed to have been friends for many years.
The butler outside the door saw Zhang Juzheng coming and wanted to inform him on the Internet, so Zhang Juzheng waved his hand away. The Zhang Pavilion Master reached out and stroked his thick long beard and strode in.
Seeing him in, You Qi immediately took a step back. He bowed and lowered his head. Feng Bangning, wearing a robe with a pair of robes on the outside of the wealthy man, quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said:
"My nephew asked Mr. Zhang for his good health."
"It's all my family, why bother to get up? Brother Shuanglin has been so happy recently. Have you received the top-quality sea cucumbers I sent a few days ago?
"Uncle my family thanked Mr. Zhang, everything has been fine recently.
Both sides made a few polite words, but Feng Bangning never sat down and just stood there and asked:
"Uncle Jia asked Mr. Zhang, but he still needs to wait for a while, or he can move at this time.
Zhang Juzheng sat there and sighed, saying self-deprecatingly:
"I can see clearly in the past ten days. Everyone is really moved by this position. I am promoted by the official. I don't know how to be grateful, but I want to take advantage of the situation. Some people are watching from the side, wanting to wait for everything to be clear before taking action. It would be fine if others were the ones. Who would depend on these people to be today? People's hearts are cold. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!!"
Feng Bangning lowered his head and listened. After Zhang Juzheng finished sighing, he quickly said in a low voice:
"Uncle Jia has also felt emotion these days. Uncle Jia also learned about the news that the day before yesterday, and this time he sent his nephew to ask Mr. Zhang Ge alone. Li Youzi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how is this person?
According to the officialdom class of the Ming Dynasty, the Left Minister of Revenue was already equivalent to the Minister of the Secretariat of other departments, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue participated in the confidentiality, and the actual person in charge of each department was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
After Feng Bangning said this, Zhang Juzheng had already understood the meaning. He pondered for a moment and replied:
"This person is quite cautious in doing things, but he also likes to speak plainly and behave properly."
"The uncle of the family means to seize the situation. Although it was advocated by the Minister of Personnel, this is neither the law of the Ming Dynasty nor the rule of the ancestors. If the Secretary of the State Council does not mention it, the Minister of the State Council will also give it to the Minister.
After saying this, seeing Zhang Juzheng remained silent, Feng Bangning followed and said:
"Kedao Qingliu, you also want to ask Mr. Zhang to say hello. Qingyi will always be useful at this time, so as not to be exploited by others."
Zhang Juzheng finally sighed, waved his hand and said:
"Go back and tell Brother Shuanglin that he will do this. There is no rush to see if I want to wait for the character Zhang Ziwen and Zhang Han, and leave Wang Guoguang. The first thing I think of is him to take over, but I didn't expect him to treat me like this. Let's see if he has regrets."
"Master, the head of the army sent a list yesterday and said that he would buy some small things for our blacksmith workshop. I just finished the total. It was almost 1,500 taels."
General Tan said in a deep voice in Wang Tong's main hall, Wang Tong and Chang Wancai sat opposite the two sides of the desk. Looking at the transcripts and newspapers in his hands. Hearing what General Tan said, Wang Tong nodded and said:
"Go and ask the price of the various items on the order. If the price is on the public price or 10% of the original price, you will pay him the money."
General Tan agreed, and Sun Dahai next to him said in a little resentment:
"A official from the Ministry of Works stays in the yamen for less than two hours a day. He spends all day in the workshop. He has to buy it, and he has to buy it. Could it be that he has come here to make money?"
Wang Tong looked up and replied with a smile:
"I like this director very much. It doesn't matter if I can really make something. Then I have to give him another sum of money."
While speaking, Wang Tong saw a transcript in his hand, read it carefully several times, and asked in a deep voice:
"This is the subordinate of the upper Qi of the Zhang Ge Lao Mansion, and he complained about the busy management of the mansion while having fun in Mingchun Tower. Now he has some spare time to have fun." Who is the You Qi in the Zhang Ge Lao Mansion? Is this the listener of the Zhang Ge Lao Mansion or You Qi? When is the busy management of the mansion? "
"You Qi is the most trusted slave around Zhang Ge Lao. He is no different from the boss of the capital. Although he is a servant, he also has his own servants under his command, and he is busy managing this. I am afraid he will go to Mingchun Tower to ask."
