Chapter 960 A visit from a friend
At noon, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen came to Zhuji hand in hand.
As soon as the two heard the news about Zhu Pingan's impeachment of Gao Botai in the morning, they wanted to find Zhu Pingan. However, today was the first day after taking a break, and there were many things going on in the Yamen, so the two had not been able to find a chance to leave. I didn't have time until almost noon. The two of them first went to Prince Yu's Mansion. After hearing the news about Zhu Pingan's two-day compensatory leave in Prince Yu's Mansion, the two of them came to Zhu Ji first to have a look. If Zhu Pingan was not in Zhu Ji, they then went to Linhuai Hou Mansion. .
“Business is good, Zihou.” Zhang Siwei joked with a smile after meeting Zhu Pingan in Zhu Ji’s backyard.
As soon as they entered Zhuji, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were shocked by the popularity of Zhuji's business. They had heard that Zhuji's business was good before, but they never expected that the business was so popular and it was overcrowded. .
"Put business first. Zihou, why did you impeach Gao Botai? Don't you know that Gao Botai is the nephew of Yan Shifan's concubine?" Wang Shizhen was anxious and interrupted Zhang Siwei's words, looking at him with worry. Zhu Pingan asked.
"Haha, Vincent, you are still talking about me. I heard that you arranged a meal for him in front of Yan Shifan at the wine table some time ago." Zhu Pingan laughed and patted He patted Wang Shizhen on the shoulder.
What Zhu Pingan said is true. It happened a week ago. That day Yan Shifan hosted a banquet for Li Panlong, Xie Zhen, Wang Shizhen, Yin Shidan and other famous people in the poetry world. Although Li Panlong, Wang Shizhen and others scorned Yan Shifan, due to the power of Yan Song and his son, they were disgusted and afraid of Yan Shifan, so they did not dare to break the appointment. The banquet was fine at the beginning, but after the drunkenness, Yan Shifan relapsed into his old behavior and started drinking wine again. He laughed at an old man at the table who drank as little as a tortoise. Wang Shizhen couldn't stand it, so he wrote a poem to satirize Yan Shifan.
The poem says:
Going to Heliang hand in hand, meeting your uncle is like meeting your mother.
They both burst into tears.
Three lines!
This poem is a satire on Yan Shifan. How could two people shed tears at the same time and shed three lines? ! Isn't it just because one person has one eye, that's why both of them cried together, and there were only three lines.
Yan Shifan is a one-eyed dragon.
It is said that after Wang Shizhen finished this poem, Yan Shifan's face turned green on the spot. If Yan Shifan had not deliberately used the talents of Wang Shizhen and others to win over the world's officials, Yan Shifan would not have laughed it off.
"Ahem, to be honest, I was drunk at the time. Thinking about it afterwards, I had a cold sweat on my back."
Wang Shizhen raised his head and looked at Zhu Pingan, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"You were drunk, and I had a reason for it at the time. You don't know that in broad daylight, with the sky clear, I was reading and practicing calligraphy in front of the canal, and for no apparent reason, I was tied up by Gao Botai and sent to the Shuntian Mansion Prison. If I hadn't had this official body, I would have become a "thief" in the Shuntian Mansion Prison. As the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, do you think this person should be acting like this? Should he be impeached? If he is not impeached, I don’t know how many people will make the same mistake as me. They don’t have the official skin like me. In addition, Gao Botai invaded and occupied farmland, and hundreds of military households and people lost their land and became homeless. Shouldn’t Gao Botai be impeached? ?”
Zhu Pingan looked at Wang Shizhen, then at Zhang Siwei, explained the matter roughly, then shrugged and asked the two of them.
"Having said that, Zi Hou, after all, you just impeached Zhao Daying, who was promoted by Yan Song, and the Taicang inspection ordered Yan Shifan to pay a fine of 12,000 taels, and now you are impeaching him again You are the nephew of Yan Shifan's concubine and you are so easily betrayed by Yan Shifan. Wensheng wrote a poem to satirize Yan Shifan. It was not appropriate to offend Yan Shifan, but I had never had any trouble with Yan Shifan. Zihou, you should have told me at that time. Wouldn't it be better for me to impeach Gao Botai than for you to do so? Much safer.”
Zhang Siwei nodded first, then shook his head, feeling that Zhu Pingan should have told him that he would be the one to impeach.
“It would be much better for me to impeach than you.” Wang Shizhen also had the same emotion.
After hearing the words of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, Zhu Ping'an was very moved, but he made a playful smile on his face and joked: "Haha, what a beautiful thought, this kind of good opportunity to leave a name in history, Don’t even think about it.”
“Gunzihou, I’m telling you something serious.” Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen punched Zhu Pingan, laughing and scolding.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Zhu Ping'an said seriously.
"Well, it's good for you to know, Zihou. As for Yan Song and his son, if you are sure that they will be killed in one blow, you should never take action. Otherwise, you will suffer harm if you kill the snake." Zhang Siwei nodded and warned seriously.
"Now the Holy One has great favor and trust in Yan Song, and the Yan Party is at its peak. This sincerity cannot compete with him. Zihou, you must be clear." Wang Shizhen said to Zhu Ping'an with the same serious face.
"Yeah, I know. You too, especially you Wen Sheng, please don't act recklessly in the future. I have always been very respectful to Yan Song and his son, it's just about beating a dog, not like you. All the dog owners were beaten..."
Zhu Pingan nodded and gave Wang Shizhen a special explanation.
Historically, Wang Shizhen and Yan Shifan had a very deep feud. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were sworn enemies.
Of course, there are many points of grievance between them. Zhu Ping'an is ready to remind Wang Shizhen one by one when the time comes. Especially when Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Yan, is in charge of Ji Liao, he must remind Wang Shizhen and tell his father to strengthen the prevention of the Panjiakou Great Wall.
Historically, it was because Anda Khan invaded the Panjiakou Great Wall, marched straight in, and captured the four satellite cities of Beijing, including Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian, killing, burning, and looting along the way, which led to Wang Yan's death. He was escorted to the capital for questioning. Thanks to the activities of Wang Shizhen and others, Wang Yan was sentenced to death. However, Yan Shifan took the opportunity to attack and took advantage of Emperor Jiajing's failure in refining elixir. Angrily, he slandered Emperor Jiajing and said: "The barbarians invaded the border. Wang Yan had the responsibility to defend the territory and had a heavy army, but he allowed the barbarians to follow him." Defense Zone Panjia The Great Wall marched straight in, and the four capital barriers of Zunhua, Qian'an, Jizhou, and Yutian fell all the way, allowing the barbarians to burn, kill, and loot... If it weren't for the military and civilian efforts, the barbarians would invade the capital again. In this way, it is really his king. mobilize troops Isn't it effective? This is clearly a sign of treason and betrayal of the emperor's trust. Yousi and Wang Yan have an old relationship and only sentenced Wang Yan to be punished. If the emperor agrees, will the people of Zunhua, Qian'an and Jizhou be convinced? , Yutian was invaded by barbarians Can the spirit of heaven be convinced by the people who burned, killed and looted? Your Majesty, if you don’t kill Wang Yan, it will be difficult for the people of the world to accept it.” Emperor Jiajing was already in a bad mood and directly changed the sentence due to Yan Shifan’s slander. Wang Yan was sentenced to death.
Of course, these can only be reminded at that time, and the prophet cannot explain it. Now we can only remind Wang Shizhen to avoid enmity with Yan Shifan at the moment. (End of this chapter)
