Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 621
After Yang Sichen finished speaking, he went outside to say hello, and Xue Zhanye walked in. This seemed to mean queuing up for an appointment. After entering the door, Xue Zhanye, a hundred households in the East Factory, cupped his fists and made a bow, and said with a smile:

"My lord Wang has made an unrivaled achievement this time, and prosperity and wealth are just around the corner. Congratulations!!"

Wang Tong stepped forward with a smile, punched Xue Zhanye on the shoulder, and said:

"You and my family, why bother to talk about such a birthright, Wang is able to have what he is today, it is not because of everyone's help."

To the hundreds of households in the East Factory, Wang Tong was very kind, and Xue Zhanye was also polite. The two sides were polite, and Xue Zhanye said seriously:
"It's just for investigating the case. Dongchang tortured the survivors of the Sanyang Sect last night. Some people said that Lin Shulu's three brothers, Lin Shulu, were in the palace, and Lin Shufu and Lin Shucai were outside the palace. Master Lin Shucai may know him. He had a His name is Chai Fulin."

Hearing this name, Wang Tong let out a hesitation. The brothers of the Lin family, the Sanyang Sect and himself really have a bad relationship. They are so deeply involved with each other. From the capital to Tianjin Wei, they are related everywhere. Lin Shulu is definitely dead. Lin Shufu and As for the life and death of Lin Shucai, yesterday he and Lu Wancai said that the Department of Public Security would strictly investigate, but they didn't expect that there would be related news today. Xue Zhanye continued to say:
"There was a great chaos the night before. According to the people who were caught inside and outside the city, Lin Shufu should be in charge of the city, and some people have seen him, and this Lin Shucai has disappeared for a few days. This kind of remnant is really a hidden danger. The officials came to inform Mr. Wang, Please be careful."

Wang Tong hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks, but his heart felt a little heavy. Xue Zhanye also saw that Wang Tong's expression was wrong, and said:
"Right now, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, and Wucheng Bingmasi are all chasing around according to the pictures and graphics mentioned by those thieves, but you also know, Mr. Wang, that these people have been hiding for so many years. If you can't catch it...the lower official still has official business, so I'll take my leave first!"

When Xue Zhanye said these things today, he also saw Wang Tongfei and Huang Tengda right in front of him, and he was close to him. It was also a reminder that such remnants of deep hatred can also do harm.

Wang Tong thanked him, and personally sent Xue Zhanye out of the house. Xue Zhanye had property in Tianjin Wei, and Wang Tong gave him dry shares and dividends in Sanjiang Commercial Bank. There were many benefits, and there was no need to say too many polite words.

Xue Zhanye left, Wang Tong walked into the room, and the eunuch surnamed Meng who was waiting there stood up quickly, Wang Tong nodded and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Eunuch Meng, for a long time!"

Hearing Wang Tong's words, the eunuch hurriedly bowed and waved his hands:

"Why don't you talk about work, how can you be worthy of the title of Mr. Wang, the little Xiaomeng."

Seeing the eunuch wearing a blue robe, he also knew that this person was not of high grade. Wang Tong smiled and stretched out his hand to ask the eunuch to sit down, and sat down himself, but this eunuch surnamed Meng was really respectful. Seeing Wang Tong sit down , he just stood on the side and said:
"My lord Wang must have seen the young man's face. The young Meng Duo worshiped Eunuch Zou Yi as his adoptive father the year before last, and has been working with the servants all the time. Today, he came here to inform your lord with the words of Eunuch Zou."

After politely introducing himself, Meng Duo said with a smile on his face:
"Yesterday, Lord Long Live issued a decree to promote Zou Yi, Eunuch Zou, to be the eunuch supervisor."

This is a great thing, and it is also a reward for Zhang Cheng's loyalty. In the past, Feng Bao was the only one in the palace, and Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing each guarded their own small circles. Now Zou Yi is the supervisory eunuch at the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The strength of Zhang Cheng's line has soared, which is equivalent to the expansion of Emperor Wanli's power in the palace, which is naturally a good thing.

After saying this, Meng Duo's face turned serious, and he said again:
"According to the news that Eunuch Zou received yesterday, it is said that Zhang Siwei, Minister of the Ministry of War, may become the chief assistant of the cabinet. This may harm Lord Wang. He will not allow him to be the commander of the Jinyiwei Capital!"

Wang Tong had already received the news of this judgment, and now Meng Duo told him that it was just to confirm it. Wang Tong was silent for a while, nodded and said:

"I know, please trouble Eunuch Meng to go back and tell Eunuch Zou that I know what's going on here!"

Meng Duo hurriedly bowed and said:

"Since that's the case, I'll go back to the palace first and return to my orders. To tell you the truth, the palace is very busy now. Eunuch Zou has got the new position of supervising eunuchs, and there are many things to do!"

"Eunuch Meng has had a hard time coming here, let's drink tea first, we will have more time to deal with each other in the future!"

Wang Tong took out a small gold ingot from his pocket and handed it over. Meng Duo took it with a smile on his face, turned and left.

This morning, Li Wenyuan's house had a lot of guests. Apart from the three who came earlier, some guests also came to visit, the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank in the capital, and the two stewards of the Qin Pavilion.

Yang Sichen is now Wang Tong's master, and he will notify Wang Tong of these people's visits. According to Yang Sichen's thinking, these people are just here for business. Now, at this moment, military affairs are important, so what's the use of it? To worry about these little things, but I didn't expect that after Tong passed on, Wang Tong would meet them one by one.

When it was time for lunch, Wang Tong asked Li Tao, who was on duty, to call back all the Huwei generals who were outside, and then arranged carriages and horses, saying that he was going to leave the capital in the afternoon.

It's easy to leave. Wang Tong didn't have any luggage. He threw those weapons into a big box and sent them back to Tianjin Wei with horses and horses. For them, the wounded rode in cars, and the healthy ones rode horses. Feel free to leave.

I thought I would have to rest in the capital for a few more days, but when this order was issued suddenly, everyone was quite surprised, but a military order is a military order, so there was nothing to hesitate about, and everyone immediately got ready.

At noon, Zhenxing Building delivered food and drinks as usual, but Wang Tong did not go with Li Hutou and the others, but sent someone to invite Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan to come back and live in a room alone.

"The queen mother doesn't want to delegate power so early, and Feng Bao also wants to continue to hold this position firmly. Zhang Siwei just did what he liked and made a promise. From various sources, when Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill and dying, Zhang Siwei had already started to exploit In this matter, our eyes were all drawn to the Sanyang Sect's rebellion, but he took advantage of this loophole."

The few people in the room were not in the mood to drink, and only listened to Wang Tong's quiet analysis there. Lu Wancai opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, and said anxiously:
"Zhang Siwei... If Zhang Siwei becomes the first assistant, I'm afraid it will be quite harmful to the adults. Zhang Juzheng has been fair to the adults in the past few years, but if you look closely at what Zhang Siwei has done in the past few years, he is not like that. For, my lord's side, our side, I'm afraid..."

Li Wenyuan rubbed the wine cup in his hand, but remained silent. Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said:
"There is no need to be so pessimistic. Zhang Siwei is inferior to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng's dictatorship in the court depends on his qualifications in the cabinet since the year of Longqing, and the high reputation brought about by promoting various national policy reforms. What does Zhang Siwei rely on? Is it because of his loyalty to Zhang Juzheng? Or is it because of his achievements in the Ministry of War, the victories against the Tartars, one was us, and the other was Lord Qi, who will remember him? superior."

Before lunch, Wang Tong had already thought about these matters. He said these words to reassure Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan. Seeing that they both looked pensive, Wang Tong said again:
"The Empress Dowager, Feng Bao, and Zhang Ju depended on each other, but now Zhang Siwei can only rely on the authority of those two, and he can't sustain himself. Besides, the situation is not the same as that day. Zou Yixin got the position of the eunuch supervisor. , His Majesty's power in the palace is different, Zhang Siwei wants to achieve Zhang Juzheng's power over the world, adjudication, I am afraid it will not be possible!"

************
On June 22, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

"Zou Yi handles his business properly and does not attract people's nonsense. Although Lin Shulu deserves death, the methods of investigation and supervision left in the Yumajian are good. Zou Yi knows that it is good to stay."

There were not many people in the palace. The Empress Dowager Li and several confidant female officials, Emperor Wanli, Feng Bao, and Zhang Cheng were invited here after Emperor Wanli came down from court. Say these words.

People who can appear here can't simply understand every word according to the literal meaning. Praising Zou Yi is actually saying that Zhang Cheng has done a good job, and saying that Zhang Cheng has done a good job is also affirming Emperor Wanli.

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli was not happy. Instead, he immediately became vigilant. Why did he suddenly praise him? People, how many people were killed afterwards, is just a number for the people in this house, what they care about is whether there will be similar hidden dangers in the future, and whether the various labors in the palace can operate normally.

This is also going on normally. Zhang Cheng has always been on guard against this and knows how to investigate and deal with it. Now he is just doing it according to the previous arrangement, and everything is going well.

"The position of chief assistant in the cabinet is vacant, which is not good for the country. Has the emperor decided to push the court?"

If there is a vacancy in the cabinet, officials above the third rank in Beijing will be elected together, which is called Tingtui. Although it is a high-ranking official election, the emperor's opinion is naturally important, otherwise even if it is promoted, it is impossible to do it for a long time.

"After returning to my mother, the officials of Tingtui and the Hanlin Academy have drawn up a list, and there are three people in total, 'Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei, and Liang Menglong'."

Slightly speaking, everyone in the room knew who he was after when they heard Emperor Wanli say the order of the three names.

Empress Dowager Li pondered for a while, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, Zhang Siwei was actually the second assistant. He had rich experience, and both the government and the public said he was capable. And newly established such meritorious deeds, he is the perfect candidate for the chief assistant!"

Emperor Wanli paused, and then his face turned ashen. After a while of silence, he said stiffly:
"Mother, my son thinks that Shen Shixing is more suitable!"
