Chapter 40 The thirteenth return visit to Shuan Weng Determined to Punish Officials and Abandon Hai Rui

However, he said that after Zhang Juzheng arrested Wang Jiusi in front of old man Fang's house a few months ago and caused a storm, he was always concerned about old man Fang's family, wondering whether they were implicated and retaliated against.Even though he sent Wang Zhuan to appease and inquire about the situation twice, and replied that there was no problem, he was still worried.The night before yesterday, he sent someone to call Wang Zhuan to accompany him to Old Man Fang's house.  After dinner at home, Zhang Juzheng changed into plain clothes in blue and brought a few plainclothes horses, and Wang Zhuan and Wang Zhuan each sat in a sedan chair for two, and arrived at the entrance of the alley where old man Fang lived.The two sedan chairs stopped here, and Wang Zhuan led Zhang Juzheng to the door of old man Fang's grocery store.  The shutters of the grocery store have been closed, and the door is tightly closed.A plainclothes horseman knocked on the door and asked loudly, "Is anyone there?"

After asking several times, I heard a trembling voice answering: "Who is it?"  "It's Mr. Wang." Ma Bian replied.  "Which Lord Wang?" Someone came tiptoeing from inside the door, his voice full of vigilance.  "It's me," Wang Zhuan said to the crack of the door, "Father Fang, I'm Wang Zhuan, the imperial censor who patrolled the city who was here last time.""Ouch, benefactor!" The door opened with a squeak, and a vague and thin figure walked out of the door, bowing and arching.Wang Zhuan stepped forward to help, and said softly, "Father Fang, let's talk in the room." Wang Zhuan and Zhang Juzheng followed Father Fang into the main room, while the horses stayed outside.The main room was dimly lit, so Father Fang fumbled and lit the oil lamp.While lighting the lamp, he explained: "There was a lamp in this room, but when Xiao Ke heard a knock on the door, he was afraid that it was another villain, so he blew it out with a puff." As soon as the lamp came on, the old man Fang recognized Wang Zhuan clearly. , Natou was about to kneel down, Wang Zhuan hurriedly supported him, pointed to Zhang Juzheng and said: "Father Fang, look who is here."

Zhang Juzheng stood up with a smile and said, "Father Fang, how is this going?""Okay, good," Fang old man replied, but a pair of dizzy old eyes slipped around Zhang Juzheng, because Zhang Juzheng was wearing a green shirt and casual clothes, apparently he didn't recognize him, "Master Wang, who is this nobleman?" "Father Fang, this is Mr. Zhang Ge." Wang Zhuan reminded loudly.  "Mr. Zhang Ge?" Father Fang trembled in shock, he couldn't help taking another step closer, and saw Zhang Juzheng's neatly combed long beard, and then he suddenly remembered, and immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Juzheng, muttering He muttered: "My benefactor, Xiao Ke has blind eyes and didn't recognize him. I hope my benefactor will forgive me."The old man Fang was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he even forgot to entertain the guests and kept chattering to himself: "I heard that the benefactor has become the chief assistant. This is because the heavens have eyes. How can we let the benefactor's precious feet step on our poor land..." Seeing that the old man Fang couldn't hold on to himself, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Zhuan each found a stool and sat down.Zhang Juzheng looked at the old man Fang carefully under the dim light. After not seeing him for a few months, the old man Fang changed completely.I saw that his eye sockets were sunken and his bones were bristling, his chin was full of unshaven beard, and the trousers and jacket he wore were all crumpled.He really wanted to hide his serious concerns in front of the guests, but behind the forced smile, people could still feel that he had the deepest sadness.Seeing him in such a trance, Zhang Juzheng was moved with compassion.After the old man Fang finished nagging, he asked: "Father Fang, is the business of your grocery store still prosperous?"

"Grocery store?" Old man Fang smiled sadly, "It's okay, it's okay."Zhang Juzheng saw that there was something hidden in it, and enlightened him: "Father Fang, you don't have to hide it, just speak up." The old man Fang was stunned for a while, a mouthful of phlegm suddenly sprang up in his throat, he coughed a few times, then sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Ge, Xiao Ke's grocery store has been closed for more than two months .”“Why is this?” Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng's question aroused all the pain in Fang's heart.Since his son Fang Dalin was beaten to death by Wang Jiusi in the street, this case has become the biggest case in Beijing.The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and other departments that should handle the case, like a revolving door, came to Fang Laohan's house almost every other day to ask questions and collect evidence.As the saying goes, the poor are afraid of picking up their wives, and the rich are afraid of lawsuits.As long as there is something that alarms the government, you can pay as much money as you want.Let's just talk about old man Fang's house, when he came to the subordinate officials Zaoli, all kinds of messengers, even if he asked a few words, he would have to pay for a meal and a few foot money.In the beginning, the old man Fang was only thinking about avenging his son, no matter how much money he spent, his heart wouldn't hurt.The officials and soldiers handling cases in each yamen are tricky leeches who can suck blood from dry bones.It is their custom to eat the plaintiff and the defendant.Now in this case, Wang Jiusi is a homeless person, and he is locked in the Dongchang Prison, where no one can see him, so where can he extract the oil?Therefore, the police all put the idea of ​​getting money on old man Fang.After more than a month, the poor old man Fang has been in a small business all his life, and the little family fortune he has worked so hard to accumulate has been wiped out.But whether Wang Jiusi paid for his life or not, there is still no answer.In fact, this case is controlled by Dongchang, and no government office can get involved.Old man Fang is just a sufferer in his own right, how can he know the muddy water here?As long as he is a member of the public family with clean clothes and pants, he will be regarded as a prince who cannot afford to offend, and a benefactor who can avenge his son.Therefore, he treats everyone who enters the door with good wine and meat, and gives them away in cash.After another month or so, not only did the old man Fang eat up all his belongings, but he also owed a lot of bad debts, and the grocery store that the family depended on for their livelihood also collapsed without noticing.See that there is nothing in the house, and the police will no longer come to the door.It wasn't until this moment that old man Fang realized that these vampires in the yamen were not trying to avenge him, but were trying their best to extract money.What a well-to-do family is, but now it is completely destitute.Old man Fang, an old man who was nearly seventy years old, had to lead his newly widowed daughter-in-law and underage granddaughter Yunzhi to live through the years. Under Zhang Juzheng's repeated questioning, the old man Fang told this secret in tears.Seeing Zhang Juzheng's face tense and furious, Wang Zhuan became anxious, and Zi's face was flushed, and he said to the old man Fang who was huddled in a corner and wiping his tears: "Father Fang, you have suffered so much. Why did the officer come twice and ask again and again, but you refused to speak directly?"  The old man replied timidly, "Xiao Ke dare not speak."

“Why don’t you dare to speak?”  "Xiao Ke thought to himself that he had already spent a lot of wronged money. If he told the truth, these masters who were on duty would come to find fault with us after blaming us. Wouldn't the money spent by Xiao Ke be in vain? Son."  "It's really unreasonable!" Zhang Juzheng, who had been biting his cheekbones and keeping silent, finally broke out at this moment, he stood up abruptly, and cursed bitterly, "In the capital, under the chariot, There are such public scum who bend the law for personal gain and exploit the common people. Daddy Fang, do you remember these people?" "Remember...ah, no, I don't remember." Old man Fang hesitated, Zhang Juzheng knew that he still With scruples in his heart, he suppressed his anger and patiently enlightened him: "Old man, you don't have to be afraid, I, Zhang Juzheng, will make the decision for you, and see what kind of people dare to bully you. You just need to be willing to tell me who the police have abused you. You, I will arrest them and bring them to justice, and I will spit out every penny of the money I took away." "Mr. Zhang Ge, you, you, are you telling the truth?"

The old man Fang looked at the two cold lights in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, he seemed to see some kind of hope but couldn't believe it was reality, so he was so excited that he stuttered and asked inappropriately. Wang Zhuan listened to the old man Fang's question, clicked his tongue, and said in an emphatic tone: "You old man Fang is so ignorant, who do you think Mr. Zhang Ge can just talk and play? He is the first Fu, one sentence is worth ten thousand sentences, do you understand!"  "I understand, I understand," the old man Fang nodded and bowed, the more excited he became, the more humble he appeared, "Shoufu was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, one person is below ten thousand people , they are not mortals, they are descended from the stars in the sky. But what can I do, what a big thing I have alarmed the Prime Minister, Dalin, you shouldn’t die.” Fang Laohua was talking incoherently and then remembered The son who died unjustly cried again with his mouth puckered.Seeing the old man Fang being tortured like this, Zhang Juzheng felt very sad, and he told Wang Zhuan: "Jiedong, I will leave the matter of Father Fang to you. Severe punishment. His family’s grocery store must reopen within ten days." Wang Zhuan patted his chest and promised: "I will obey the order and do this matter well." Listening to the conversation between the two , the old man Fang wiped away his tears, and said solemnly: "Xiao Ke has lived a long time, and today I believe that the sun can rise from the west."  "What does the old man say?" Zhang Juzheng asked gently . 

The old man Fang said: "Since the governor's time, Xiao Ke has often heard people say that the world is as black as crows. If you want to guard against officials and officials, unless the sun rises from the west."  "Fang Daddy, you Don't talk nonsense." Wang Zhuan saw that Zhang Juzheng's face seemed to be getting dark again, so he reminded him in time. Father Fang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and didn't know whether he had caused trouble, so he hurriedly slapped his mouth, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Xiao Ke tried to be happy with his mouth for a while, and his words hurt Mr. Zhang Ge, I hope that the adults will not remember the mistakes of the villains." Zhang Juzheng cast a wink at Wang Zhuan, meaning to blame him for being troublesome, then he moved to help the old man Fang, and said kindly: "Father Fang, don't listen to me. Mr. Wang, you just said it very well, please continue." The old man shook his head like a shopkeeper, and said: "It's all the words of our little people who are teething, so I dare not say it again." Seeing that the old man Fang had deep doubts, Zhang Juzheng simply used the aggressive method:  "It seems that Fang Lao does not want to trust me as an old man."

"Where, where, the boss sent the great grace to Xiao Ke's home, Xiao Ke will be grateful for life and life, so there is a reason for distrust." "Since trust, why don't you want to speak freely?"  The old man Fang hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Ge Lao really wants to hear it?""Really." "Then, excuse me, let me read a few jingles to you first." After listening to this story, Yang Bo knew the source of the two ballads. Furan sighed and said: "The common people at the foot of the emperor in the capital are more sharp than those in other provinces. What about 'a book of five ministers, more than sixty for three men', this is obviously a mockery of Gao Gong's indiscriminate appreciation of codes when he was in power. Constantly People in the land were promoted to rank and rank, so there were many high-ranking idle officials in the imperial court. Gao Gong's original intention was to make some benefits for the officials, but he did not expect to create a big hidden danger because of this. These jingles also There is something in the words. As for the second song, it says that officials are all surnamed greedy. On Chang’an Road, you can’t see the blue sky but only officials. This statement is biased.” Zhang Juzheng said: “It’s biased, but it’s not chasing after the wind. The common people look forward to clean officials and compare them to the blue sky. This has been the case since ancient times. But in all dynasties, clean officials are rare. I, Emperor Hongwu, the founding of the Ming Dynasty, had extremely strict officials. At that time, a head of the household department was accused of embezzling ten taels of silver. , Emperor Hongwu decreed to give him the death penalty of skinning. But now? A Gongmen Zaoli, who can’t even be called an official, does more than knock ten taels of silver from others. Last year, a magistrate in Yunyang was transferred to a new post. I took my family and family property on the road and went to Xiangyang to live in a post station. A thief stole a cage in the middle of the night. The magistrate dared not report the case. Later, the local police caught the thief for another case. After explaining this matter together, everyone knew that the cage was full of white silver. This confirmed the sentence, "Three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver." Xiangyang tour The censor played a book for the magistrate, but because of the protection of some people in the court, it was finally dismissed. Mr. Bo, think about it, how many bad deeds of greed and ink are hidden behind these money. Ordinary people, like the old man Fang, have been squeezed to the point of ruin and poverty. The three dynasties of Zhengde, Jiajing and Longqing were almost 70 years old, and officials have not been properly rectified. This has led to the emptiness of the treasury and the corruption of the officialdom. If we continue to delay, It is inevitable that the regime will not protect the country and the country will be in danger! This is by no means alarmist talk, but a living fact! Under such circumstances, it happens that the new emperor ascends the throne, and his servants are deeply gracious and worthy of being able to govern the country. , It is an excellent time to keep my foundation of the Ming Dynasty safe forever.  "How to refresh the government of officials, I have been thinking about it for many years, mainly in the three words of governance, one is greed, the other is loose, and the third is slack.Greed is the root of all evil.It has already been said before, so I won't repeat it.The second is scattered, the eighteen major yamen in the capital, and so many prefectures and counties across the country, all have different government orders and do their own thing.The dissemination of the six councils to various places is just a formality, no one seriously supervises it, and no one implements it. If this is the case, the authority of the imperial court is vain.The third is slack. Officials are busy with socializing, climbing dragons and phoenixes, forming cliques, traveling in mountains and rivers, reciting the wind and the moon, reciting poems and painting, looking for flowers and willows. The only thing that is not busy is the government affairs that they preside over.This word of slack actually turns me into a mess of loose sand under the cover of brocade.At this time, if there is a drastic change in state ownership, the yamen at all levels may panic, and the imperial power may be limited to the capital.Therefore, greed, looseness, and slack can be regarded as the three beetles of the officialdom. This time, the Beijing inspection is aimed at these three words. " Zhang Juzheng gave a very incisive and impassioned speech, and Yang Bo nodded again and again. He entered the officialdom at the age of 27. He started as a county magistrate in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province. I have stayed in several yamen. Local officials have served as provincial governors, and military officers have served as governor of Jiliao. They have all reached the top. I have also stayed in the capital. He didn't know anything about his career. When he was young, he also summed up that there are three kinds of officialdom: ruffians, gangsters, and gangsters, and vowed not to associate with these three types of people. Before the age of fifty, he always Dreaming of a sage king who can use thunderous means to clean up the long-standing abuses in the officialdom. But as time goes by, he feels that his ideas are unrealistic. After the "Mandate of Heaven" year passed, he summed up his experience in the officialdom with so much justice Lianming officials were brutally attacked because they were dissatisfied with the reality and impeached the big traitors. His blazing heart gradually cooled down and became dark. At this time, he only wanted to clean himself up and finish well. Now, hearing Zhang Juzheng was full of indignation and denounced the three beetles in the officialdom, and his sense of justice, which had been numb for a long time, came to life again. But it was just a spark, and then went out. After all, he is an old man in his seventies, and the harsh reality makes him no longer hold on Have any fantasies. "Uncle," Yang Bo called out very kindly, "I appreciate your saying that there are three officials in the officialdom. When I was young, I also said that there are more than three officials in the officialdom. There are many oil seeds, and there are many officials who are mixed. These three are almost the same as your three beetles.However, if you want to get rid of the three beetles and make all the officials on Chang'an Road be honest officials, it's not easy, it's not easy, it's even more difficult than going to the sky and the moon. "Zhang Juzheng has noticed the subtle changes in Yang Bo's feelings. He wanted to try his best to persuade the veteran minister to support his reform, so he replied tactfully: "It's difficult, but as the prime minister, if you blindly To appease a good name, speak harsh words and dare not add to personnel affairs, how can it be a minister's action!If a husband governs the family and makes his parents do their job, and governs the country and makes the sage let his grievances go, can he still call himself a loyal and filial person? " Zhang Juzheng's words are reasonable, Yang Bo has no way to refute, so he sighed, and said sadly: "Uncle, I remind you again, if you insist on doing this, it will be the same as the whole Have you imagined the consequences of the officialdom's confrontation? ""Think about it, think about it, Mr. Bo! " Zhang Juzheng replied with a stern expression, "for the long-term peace and stability of the world, and for the realization of a prosperous country and a strong army, the servant will work hard to implement reforms with sincerity and justice, and will fight mountains and fires. "Yang Bo stared at Zhang Juzheng and remained silent for a long time. Zhang Juzheng's heart-breaking vows moved him deeply. He suddenly remembered the sentence "heavy codes must be used to curb chaos". He believed that This person in front of me is the one who dares to use heavy codes. If you want to reorganize the country's prosperity and strength, you must have a strong man like Zhang Juzheng who is brave enough to take charge of the country. However, whether he can clean up the filth and turn the world around by himself is still unclear. It's hard to say. It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng is determined to follow his "Chen Liushishu" four years ago. Although Yang Bo is worried about his future, he also understands that this is no longer the time to throw cold water on him. After thinking about it, Yang Bo was confused and dazed. Sometimes, he moved his stiff body and said slowly: "It's worth visiting the cabinet today. At least the old man has figured out the real reason why you are in a hurry to implement the Beijing inspection. motivation.It's just that it's hard to get back, and the chronic diseases that have been accumulated for decades cannot be solved by a Beijing inspection.What's more, no matter how much you talk about the truth, in the eyes of others, it is still just a cover for you to take the opportunity to punish people. " Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked calmly: "Old Bo, when you first entered the door, you said that the public opinion outside was not good for servants.What are the specific examples, I hope Bo Lao will tell. "Yang Bo thought for a while, and then he said what Lu Shude said when he went to his house in the morning.Zhang Juzheng shook his head lightly, and said mockingly: "Lu Shude is a mediocrity.Mr. Bo, do you believe that the servant will take this opportunity to retaliate against Mr. Gao Ge's old disciples? "Yang Bo thought to himself: "According to what you said today, it's more terrifying than retaliating against Gao Ge's old disciples. "But thinking about it this way, the words on the mouth are different: "You have already said that the Beijing inspection should be carried out with sincerity and sincerity, so the old man is not worried that you will use the public to benefit yourself and exclude dissidents. "Thank you Bo Lao for your trust," Zhang Juzheng said perfunctorily, but it sounded sincere, and he continued to ask, "Does Bo Lao know about Taiyuan governor Wu Ke?" "" I have seen it from the mansion newspaper. "Yang Bo replied. 

 "Puzheng wants to take this opportunity to ask Mr. Bo whether the matter is handled properly."  Regarding Wu Ke's background, Yang Bo has already learned everything from Wei Xuezeng.After Yang Bo read his article about male-to-female transformation, he was no longer interested in reading it.Now that Zhang Juzheng asked about it, he expressed his attitude: "Some people say that Wu Ke wrote this report to plead for his lord Gao Gong. Everyone knows that Gao Gong fell in the hands of Feng Bao. Here The key role played by the current emperor is Empress Dowager Li, the biological mother of the current emperor. Wu Ke made a statement about male-to-female change, which meant to insinuate and attack Empress Dowager Li. He complained for his grievances, but secretly he wanted to make himself famous."  "Ah, Mr. Bo's views are very fresh."

"It's not fresh," Yang Bo said with a dignified expression, humbly, and then said, "Wu Ke will make this article first to test the wind direction and see the reaction. When Shihlin applauded it, he went on to make another one." The official report impeaches you, saying that you took advantage of the adjustment of the Jiuqing to use the opportunity of the adjustment of the Jiuqing, and appointed the private party. Because he was cut off, this report was too late to be played, but it has already spread in the capital. Once this report is released, how many people should there be? The officials applaud him! At this time, what he hopes is that you come out to punish him. As long as you do this, he will suffer for a while. It is very clear that a censor like him who has no political achievements at all can become a hero who is admired by scholars all over the world overnight. If you are an official for a lifetime, no matter how hard you work, you may not be able to achieve such With this influence, once he overturns the case in the future, he will be a respected and critical official in the court. If he cannot overturn the case, he will also be an outstanding figure with a long history. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, this young and energetic Wu But, he is the real treacherous minister who harbors selfishness and disregards superiors." "Well said," Zhang Juzheng praised, "Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who can see through Wu Ke's sinister intentions, there is probably no one except Bo Lao. The second person. When Yuntai summoned him that day, the emperor was very angry when he heard the memorial, and he must punish Wu Ke severely. I am worried about the early days of the government. If Wu Ke is punished, I am afraid the people in the world will laugh I, Zhang Juzheng, are narrow-minded, so I have repeatedly stated that Wu Ke can only be fined to show that he is not punished. Now it seems that this method of the servant coincides with Bo Lao's insight.""This is how to deal with it. Very good," Yang Bo put on his tall hat, feeling very happy in his heart, and his sword eyebrows became brighter and brighter.He stroked his long beard gracefully, and continued, "If you punish him severely, on the surface it will hurt him, but in fact you will fulfill him. The only way to deal with this kind of villain is to just ignore him." At this point, Yang Bo suddenly remembered something, thought it over, and asked Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle, I read from the mansion newspaper that Huang Lijie, the censor of Huguang Road, recommended Hai Rui, and the emperor returned it to the cabinet. Why don’t you see the following?” Zhang Juzheng suppressed his smile, pondered for a while, and replied, “Before Huang Lijie wrote this booklet, Hai Rui sent a letter to his servant. It roughly revealed the idea of ​​wanting to become an official again."  "Ah, this Mr. Hai has not lost his ambition," Yang Bo admired, and then asked, "What do you plan to do with your chief assistant?"" I would like to hear more about what Elder Bo thinks." As Zhang Juzheng said, he ordered the book office to come in for tea.Yang Bo believes in the principle that "too much water hurts the kidneys", so he seldom drinks water.However, after talking for a long time, his mouth was a little dry. He took a sip from the teacup, swallowed it slowly, and said: "The two jingles you let me read just now, the second one is about Chang'an Road, I only see corrupt officials not seeing the sky. In all fairness, this is an angry statement and the truth. Over the years, corrupt officials are like rats, catching one nest and leaving another nest. Hai Rui has been an official for decades, and the anti-corruption is the word "greed". Shilin Whether it's good or not, public opinion has said that Hai Rui is the most upright official in the world. If you can take this person under your command, Uncle, Zhong Kui will be the one who fights ghosts."  "Bo Lao means to Hai Rui reactivated?"

“How can you not use such an upright official?” Yang Bo's rhetorical question is justified.Zhang Juzheng smiled, and replied: "Old Bo, I have made up my mind, and I don't plan to use Hai Rui." "Why?" Yang Bo was shocked.  Zhang Juzheng said: "In the forty-five years of Jiajing, Hai Rui was sent to death row for ridiculing Emperor Sejong's obsession with alchemy. Yan Song tried to figure out Emperor Sejong's mind and asked Dali Temple to strictly judge Hai Rui. In the hands of Emperor Sejong, probably because Emperor Sejong was concerned about the public opinion in the world, he never approved it. Soon after, Emperor Sejong made a big move, Yan Song's misdeeds were revealed, and Xu Jie took over. Chief assistant, he not only rehabilitated Hai Rui, but also gave him Promoted to two ranks, from the head of the sixth rank of the household department to the fourth rank Su who is coveted by all officials.  Prefect of the state.However, after this Lord Hai took office, he was promoted to the Yamen to settle the case, but he was completely motivated.When civil lawsuits come to him, no matter what is right and what is wrong, the rich always lose and suffer.The same is true for the payment of taxes. The poor and the poor will be exempted if they cannot pay, and their arrears will be apportioned to the wealthy households.As a result, the local gentry were filled with resentment.In less than two years, wealthy businessmen moved their families to other places to avoid disasters. In his hands, the fertile land of Suzhou was in economic depression and taxes fell sharply.Also, when an official travels, there is a prescribed guard of honor. This is originally determined by the Gangji, and the dignity of the official family.Mr. Hai also felt that this was a waste of money and money, so he withdrew them all. He only rode a donkey and took a messenger with him when he went out, which made his colleagues hate him.He was impeached and impeached repeatedly before his term was over, Mr. Hai was so angry that he had no choice but to hang up the crown and leave.In terms of character, Mr. Hai is upright and impeccable.When it comes to being an official, he doesn't know how to work around it, let alone the simple truth that 'when the water is clear, there will be no fish'.Being an official is different from being a man. To be a man is to be honest and upright. To be an official is first of all how to serve the court and benefit the people.There are hungry people in the wild, even if you drink vegetable soup for every meal, you can't be considered a good official.If you are full of delicacies, the folks are well-fed and well-fed, and the music is endless, you will still be a master of the blue sky supported by all people.Based on the above thoughts, I decided not to use Hai Rui anymore.If you restore him to his original position, he still can't benefit one party. If you give him a job, Shilin will scold me for not using him again.Therefore, it would not be better to simply let him roam the forest, so as to preserve his incorruptible reputation and let future generations regard him as a model of incorruptible officials? " Zhang Juzheng's words made Yang Bo dumbfounded. This unheard-of truth made him chew for a long time. After a long time, he said in a low voice:  "I'm afraid you will offend the world by doing this." clear stream. " Zhang Juzheng smiled leisurely, and replied: "Mr. Bo, this time in the Beijing inspection, the servants are thinking that we should use less clear streams and more use follower officials."Yang Bo shook his head, pointed at Zhang Juzheng with a wry smile, and said, "You, let me I understand, but it made me confused after a while." Having said that, a thunderclap suddenly sounded above their heads, and the two of them jumped out of their seats in shock.They looked out of the window together, only to see that the originally sunny sky was now covered with dark clouds.Following the sound of thunder, the torrential rain poured over the sky and covered the ground.The two of them were so lost in their conversation that they were unaware of the sudden change in the weather outside the window.  "What a good rain!" Zhang Juzheng stretched and praised.  "It's been a long drought for many days, and it's time for a soaking rain." Yang Bo felt sleepy as soon as he relaxed.He clenched his hands into fists, rubbed his eye sockets, and asked, "What time is it?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the hour clock in the corner of the room, and replied, "It's almost noon. The morning passed without knowing it. Bo Old man, it’s raining so hard, you can’t leave even if you want to, so you can only have a light meal here.”  “Well, we don’t want anything else, just a plate of pickles and a green onion, two corn buns and a Do you have a bowl of porridge?" Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "If Mr. Bo wants bird's nest and shark's fin, the servant can't handle it. If he only wants this, he can guarantee the supply." After finishing speaking, Zhang Juzheng raised his hand to invite, and the two of them immediately After going out, they talked and laughed and walked towards the dining room.
