Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 194 Wang Shouren Shows His Power

Xiao Man held an umbrella for Ning Zhijun. On the way back, Ning Zhijun couldn't help but ask Xiao Man, "Who helped you break the pair?"

Xiao Man shook her head and said, "I don't know him, Miss."

"He was a very handsome young man. I asked him if he could make a couplet, but I didn't hold out much hope. Then he said yes, and then he said it right away. I thought it wouldn't work, but who knew they would admire him so much."

“Is this a great pair?”

Ning Zhijun pursed his lips, as if all his pride had been crushed in the instant, and he felt uncomfortable as if something was blocking his heart.

The talent that she was proud of was shattered to pieces by just one word from someone else.

He can speak without hesitation... What kind of talent can achieve such a level?

Xiao Man was still nagging, "Miss, that young man is really handsome, gentle and easy-going. I just went downstairs to look for him, but I couldn't see him anymore."

"But don't worry, miss. Next time I see him, I will definitely recognize him!"

……

On August 16, the twelfth year of the Hongzhi reign, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a brisk autumn breeze.

Outside the west gate of Peking, Tang Yin, Wang Wubi and a group of newly-appointed Jinshi scholars came to see Xu Jing off.

Xu Jing turned his head around looking for something, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to see.

He knew that Chen Ce didn't want to see him at this time. There were too many people around Xu Jing. If Chen Ce showed up at this time, these people would definitely try to curry favor with Chen Ce.

After all, it was Chen Ce who gave Xu Jing the official position in such a short period of time.

Wang Wubi and others were jealous of Xu Jing. They had even persuaded Xu Jing to follow them in giving money to the two uncles of the Zhang family in the hope that the two uncles of the Zhang family would help them get a position.

The money was given away and it was wasted.

This also made Wang Wubi and others realize the shamelessness of the two uncles of the Zhang family, and at the same time they were shocked by Chen Ce's great power!
No wonder Xu Jing was unwilling to go with them to find Zhang's uncle.

Wang Wubi was shocked beyond words at this time. He really didn't expect it. He especially remembered the first time Xu Jing and Tang Yin brought Chen Ce to see him. At that time, he shamelessly said to Chen Ce that if he needed any help in Shuntian Prefecture in the future, he could come to him.

At that time, he was full of energy and ambition. After passing the imperial examination, Wang Wubi felt that his future was limitless and gradually forgot about Chen Ce.

Now he finally understood that Chen Ce's strength was never revealing, but he always managed to catch you off guard and make you look at him with new eyes!
He is always so low-key and looks so kind and ordinary that it is easy for you to forget about him.

But at some inadvertent moment, you can always feel how mysterious and powerful this person is!

Several Jinshi beside Wang Wubi seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally one of them couldn't help but said to Xu Jing: "Father Heng, can you introduce your friend to us?"

Xu Jing smiled and said, "There is a chance."

This was considered a rejection, because Xu Jing knew that Chen Ce definitely didn't want to make these new friends anymore.

He was very lucky to be able to come to the capital so early, and he was even more fortunate to be able to make friends with Chen Ce.

Wang Wubi naturally knew Chen Ce, but after hearing what Xu Jing said, his original plan to look for Chen Ce was extinguished.

Wang Wubi bowed to Xu Jing and said, "Father Heng, take care on your journey and you will have a bright future."

Xu Jing bowed in return.

After Wang Wubi and his party left, Xu Jing said to Tang Yin, who had not spoken for a long time, "Bo Hu, I don't know when I can return."

"You are alone in Beijing, take good care of Master Chen."

"Don't be sad, don't lose confidence. It's only six years. You must pass the imperial examination in six years, for sure!" Tang Yin didn't know what Xu Jing meant and looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Jing's eyes were sore, and he said to Tang Yin: "Because he only has six years."

Hearing this, Tang Yin was struck by lightning, and asked Xu Jing in a trembling voice: "You said... Teacher?"

Xu Jing nodded slightly, "Yeah."

……

Ministry of Works, Wang Shouren asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works to make a movable pulley for him.

He was just a Jinshi who was observing politics, and according to the rules he had no power to mobilize the resources of the Ministry of Works.

Of course, Wang Shouren was not the only Jinshi who was observing politics in the Ministry of Works. There were two others. One of the Jinshi found the head of the Ministry of Works and told him that Wang Shouren had privately used the craftsmen resources of the Ministry of Works for his own private affairs.

The Ministry of Works is qualified to recommend them for official positions. With one less competitor, the remaining people will have more opportunities.

Li Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Works, immediately found Wang Shouren, but at the same time he also sold out the scholar who had informed on him.

"Wang Shouren! What are you doing?"

The head of the Ministry of Works did not have a good impression of Wang Shouren, and the reason was still because of the Wang Yue incident.

Wang Shouren personally carried Wang Yue's coffin, and he offended countless civil servants.

Wang Shouren simply looked up at the head of the Ministry of Works and said calmly, "Unify knowledge and action."

be sick.

The head of the Ministry of Works asked, "Who allowed you to use the workers of the Ministry of Works to do your private work?"

Wang Shouren shook his head and said, "I'm helping the Ministry of Works."

"Please give way."

After saying this, he took the craftsmen and left the Ministry of Works carrying iron locks and two huge pulleys.

This made Master Li very angry.

"You are so arrogant! You are going too far!"

Li Zhushi went to the doctor of the Ministry of Works to complain angrily, but the doctor of the Ministry of Works just advised him not to meddle in other people's business. Can you afford to offend Wang Shouren's father, the Right Instructor of the Right Spring Office of the Zhanshi Palace?
These words further irritated the head of the Ministry of Works. Although he did not have a high-ranking position and generous salary like Wang Hua, he was also an official who had been promoted through imperial examinations.

So the head of the Ministry of Works sent an impeachment memorial to the Qianqing Palace, praying that the emperor would reprimand Wang Shouren for his crime of usurpation!
Li Dongyang has always respected Wang Shouren. After learning the whole story, he defended Wang Shouren, saying that Wang Shouren was a talented man with many ideas, but he was young after all, so the emperor should not mind.

The head of the Ministry of Works impeached Wang Shouren together with Li Dongyang this time, saying that the cabinet was shielding Wang Shouren, which was why Wang Shouren was so arrogant in the Ministry of Works.

It was originally a trivial matter, but the matter became bigger and bigger, and Emperor Hongzhi had to personally summon Wang Shouren to refute it.

But surprisingly, Wang Shouren did not come. He disobeyed the order and said that he was dealing with an important matter and would come after it was resolved.

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar!
Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he even ordered Duke of England Zhang Mao to personally capture Wang Shouren and bring him to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Mao led the people from the Five Military Commandery to Wuzhang River and quickly found Wang Shouren.

At this time, Wang Shouren's pulley system had been installed, and several craftsmen went down to the river and tied the huge rocks of Wuzhang River firmly with iron chains.

Under Zhang Mao's shocked eyes, Wang Shouren reached out and pulled the pulley.

Then... the scene suddenly became silent!
I have been treating the blue and white cat at home during this period. The kitten is timid and has urinary retention. It cost a lot of money for the previous hospitalization. He was sent to the hospital again at around 12 o'clock last night. Alas, he is exhausted, but I can't bear to save him. To be honest, I can't bear to spend money on physical examinations. The kitten became sick not long after it was put on the shelf. I am absent-minded when typing every day. This cat was left to me by my classmate who went abroad. I didn't have time to type last night. I can only update twice today for the time being. I am really sorry.
