After the memorial was revised and polished, the handwriting was not dry, Zhang Ning picked it up and blew it, and recited it silently in a decent manner.
Seeing his relish, Zhao Erniang was curiously fanning his head while looking at him.
At this time, Xu Wenjun walked to the door of the study, Zhang Ning turned his head and heard her say: Chen Dazhu at the door just now came to the account room and said that someone was outside the door trying to see his boss.
Where is the post?Zhang Ning asked casually.Xu Wenjun said: He brought a message without a post, saying that he was a fellow townsman of the boss and had borrowed money from you.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ning suddenly understood who it was. The main reason was that there were few people who had made friends with him in the past two years. The only one who had borrowed money was Wang Zhen, who was also a fellow villager.
He almost guessed that the person he should be Wang Zhen.
Zhang Ning didn't really want to deal with Wang Zhen, and now he should avoid his identity... But Zhang Ning also understood that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.
He asked: How did Dazhu tell the visitors?
Xu Wenjun apologized: I forgot to ask.
Do this... Zhang Ning pondered for a moment and ordered, "Go and ask Dazhu. If Dazhu doesn't reveal whether I'm at home, then ask Dazhu to tell the guest: The boss is on vacation and goes out to visit friends."Otherwise, I will take the person to the living room of the outer courtyard and come in and tell me.
After hearing this, Wenjun left.
The servant named Dazhu was a servant from the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Ning didn't pay attention to whether he was smart. He could trust Wenjun a little more, at least he was clear-headed.
After waiting for a while, Xu Wenjun came in and reported that the guest had left.
Zhang Ning had lost patience with the memorials he had read several times, and couldn't help but wonder what Wang Zhen came to do to him again.
The money I borrowed has been paid back, and the so-called friendship between fellow villagers is not very good. It is very likely to be a service for Wang Gouer; because last time Wang Zhen came to pay off his debts, he inquired about the reason why Hu Yingbei was on the saint the previous year, and Zhang Ning still remembers it.
He really didn't want to get involved in those messy things anymore. Zhang Ning never felt that it was meaningless about such tricks of intrigue and conspiracy and inability to achieve anything.
It is also right not to see Wang Zhen this time, so it is best to keep a distance from these people.
……
Unexpectedly, on the way to the next day, he split up with his colleagues one after another and just walked into Zhengjue Temple Hutong when a short-clothed young man ran out from the entrance of a restaurant and stopped him.
The young man took out a piece of folded paper from his arms and said, "You are Lord Zhang, the head of the Ministry of Rites. You have a fellow villager named Wang and asked the younger one to invite you to come in and talk."
Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, but in the end he could only jump off the donkey's back helplessly, took the piece of paper, and put it in his arms without looking at it.
He pointed to the donkey and said: You should find someone to tie my mount first, and then take me in to see someone.
Wang Zhen actually stopped him halfway. If he didn't give face to this point, it would be too obvious.Well, just socialize, you can’t just fool others.
After passing through the hall and going up the wooden stairs, the young man took Zhang Ning to a small room divided by a folding screen.
Seeing this, Wang Zhen put down his glass and stood up and bowed: I'm waiting for Brother Ping'an here, and I'm bored for a moment and drank two first. It's really rude.
Zhang Ning casually replied to the gift: Wherever you are.
Wang Zhen laughed and said: Yes, there are no outsiders today, so we don’t have to be restrained by the villagers. Brother Ping’an, please sit down.
There were four or five side dishes with meat and vegetables on the round table, and Wang Zhen stretched out his hand: Let’s talk while eating.
When Zhang Ning saw that the wine glass was full, he picked it up and said: I would drink two glasses with Brother Wang, and I wouldn't eat anything at first. In the morning, I promised the family that I would go back for dinner and eat two meals inside and outside for a while. I was really afraid of being overwhelmed, haha.
As soon as he said this, he hinted that if there was anything to say, I would have to go home for dinner after that.
Wang Zhen was a student and could naturally hear the implicit sound, so he raised his glass and raised his head and drank it all, whispering: I'm in a hurry to see you, but I'm really worried for you, my fellow countryman.
oh?
Zhang Ning responded calmly.
Wang Zhen whispered: There are some things in the palace that are definitely not clear outside, but my godfather is different in the Sili Supervisory Office.I have heard of Haitao from the Silijian... Yes, it is the person who often serves the emperor. You must have heard of him if you haven't seen him. The ministers all know him.Haitao took out the old memorial that was about to grow dust on the Silijian and stabbed it in front of the emperor. It was the memorial to impeach you in the first half of the year. He also said some bad things in front of the emperor.
Zhang Ning asked in confusion: This is strange, Eunuch Hai and I don’t know each other at all.There are so many officials in the court, how did he focus on me?Why should I slander me if I have no grievances or grudges?
Brother Ping'an, don't believe it, how could I talk nonsense to you?
Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "A while ago, didn't you go to Nanjing to welcome the emperor back to ascend the throne? The emperor asked in the warm cabinet last time, "Did Zhang Ning make a statement?"... Of course, Haitao's slander was not because of this.
Wang Zhen was talking and looking around, as he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop.
In fact, there are airtight walls on both sides of this small room, and there is a folding screen outside. If you want to eavesdrop on the inside, put your ears on the screen, you may not be able to hear clearly. Besides, people coming and going outside make people look at the screen too much. Didn’t Wang Zhen have a servant outside?
He moved a seat and almost wanted to whisper to Zhang Ning. He looked ugly and felt a little uncomfortable.
He said in a very low voice: This matter starts with the emperor summoning Hu Ying. There were only three people present at that time, and the other one was Haitao, and the content of the conversation was unknown. Then there was a concubine named Wang Meiren who was supposed to be buried with her. Haitao locked her up and died inexplicably after a while. This matter should have been approved by the emperor, otherwise Haitao would not dare to do it.Therefore, my godfather thought that Haitao was going to be a conspiracy, and Haitao's purpose was to take the opportunity to frame his godfather... I felt privately that since Hu Ying was involved, it was very likely that there was doubt about Taizong's death...
When Zhang Ning heard this, he probably figured out that the two eunuchs in the Silijian were fighting in an internal battle.
Haitao was once a person used by Zhu Zhanji, and Wang Gou'er made a contribution after Emperor Hongxi's death, and the two were fighting for power.
After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he showed signs of using eunuchs to strengthen the power of eunuchs to check and balance all parties. It is a very attractive authority to master the rituals and supervision.
Zhang Ning frowned and said: But what does these things have to do with me?
Wang Zhen said: Because my godfather didn’t know what the emperor said to those two people that day, and I don’t know exactly how it was related. Perhaps it was Haitao’s intention to test the emperor with Brother Ping’an.
The fire cannot be kept in my mind. Even if Eunuch Hai doesn’t tell me about it, the emperor may be informed of it on other occasions.Zhang Ning said.
Wang Zhen said: Now what we need is to figure out what Hu Ying wanted to say when he met Taizong on his way to the north two years ago; and now Hu Ying said to the emperor.Only by understanding this point can we know how Haitao is going to plan the conspiracy.Brother Ping'an, think about it if Haitao gained power by the Emperor, would you have a good life?As long as Haitao frames you, he will not give you a chance to retaliate!
Seeing Zhang Ning sitting quietly, he advised: My godfather is different from Haitao, he is a kind person.Brother Ping'an has a close relationship with Hu Ying. My godfather wants you to try to inquire. It will be beneficial to everyone if you can break Haitao's trick.
Since the interview envoy was lifted last year, I have stopped asking about those things, and my relationship with Hu Ying is not so close that I can talk about everything. I am afraid that Zhang is powerless to do what Eunuch Wang asked.
Zhang Ning looked helpless and then made another official voice. Besides, the wise master is a wise ruler. If it is just slander, it may not work. In the end, the emperor will still have to be sages.
Wang Zhen said unhappy: Brother Ping'an doesn't believe me, so wait and see if Haitao's slander works!As I expected, if this continues, the great achievements you have finally made will be useless!
Zhang Ning said seriously: I am not an official to make a contribution to the promotion. As for what others say, what do I do if my mouth is on others?As for the affairs in the palace, I have nowhere to interfere, no intention or power.
That’s all, Brother Ping’an should be able to weigh the relationship.Wang Zhen sighed and stood up.
Zhang Ning came out of the restaurant and was in a very bad mood.
He is indeed not a person with too good psychological quality, and his emotions are more easily affected by external objects. He is completely unable to achieve the state of not being happy with things or sad with himself as the ancient sages said.
However, it should be right to refuse Wang Zhen. His life experience is indeed a flaw, which is difficult to deal with; but if he gets caught in the whirlpool of eunuchs fighting for power, he will be deeper and deeper, and he will be in the net at that time.
Although the current situation is unfavorable, it is not so serious that it is desperate.
I have doubts about my life experience, but it is just a doubt. I can't say that those who came from Nanjing in the fourth year of Jianwen are all descendants of the remains of ministers, right?
Plus the relationship with Yang Shiqi...
Zhang Ning estimated that Zhu Zhanji would not do anything to him.
Zhu Zhanji valued Yang Shiqi very much and would not be willing to lose such an important minister and assistant easily, nor did he want to create a gap between the king and the ministers from Yang Shiqi.
Therefore, Zhang Ning concluded that the emperor would not throw himself into hell unnecessarily; but there might be no hope for reusing it into the core of the Xuande Dynasty team.
The sound of wooden fish from Zhengjue Temple faintly came from the wind, which made people feel depressed.
Zhang Ning sighed, wanting to do some meaningful career, just as the ancients called to realize their ambitions, it seems that there is little hope...
However, when he walked to the door of his house, he suddenly remembered the truth that Zhao Erniang said, "It is actually equally important and meaningful to let the people around him live well, even if they are not so glorious and just obscured."
At this time, Zhang Ning's emotions gradually recovered from the haze. He still shook his head and smiled, thinking: It is better to take things lightly.
Everyone envies the glory of glorious ancestors, but is it really worth it to pay too much to pursue such utilitarianism?Just as if one day people suddenly get crazy and like to eat something, should they also like it?
Seeing his relish, Zhao Erniang was curiously fanning his head while looking at him.
At this time, Xu Wenjun walked to the door of the study, Zhang Ning turned his head and heard her say: Chen Dazhu at the door just now came to the account room and said that someone was outside the door trying to see his boss.
