Chapter 117 Delay Time

At Wang Lun's mansion in Songjiang City, after seeing off his daughter Wang Jinxuan, Wang Lun sat alone in the study and carefully checking the letters he had communicated with. These were letters he had communicated with some relatives and friends in the officialdom during this period, including many secrets.

What happened was related to whether he could escape from this crisis, so he had to be serious.

Wang Lun read the letters on the desk one by one, and then wrote a reply to each letter seriously. Then he lay on the chair and breathed a long sigh, but his face showed a bit of fatigue and depressed look.

Because from the letters from these friends, Wang Lun felt that the crisis in his body had deepened a little more.

The person who wanted to punish Wang Lun this time was named Sun Cong. He was the official of the Ministry of Rites at that time. He was just a small official from the ninth rank. He was originally just a small person, but Sun Cong had another identity, that is, Liu Jin's

Brother-in-law, and Liu Jin is just a eunuch and is not very proficient in government affairs, so he likes to discuss many things with Sun Cong. This also makes Sun Cong's position very low, his power is greater than that of cabinet ministers.

Sun Cong is a narrow-minded person. When Wang Lun was a censor in the capital, he had conflicts with Sun Cong. As a result, this person always held a grudge against Wang Lun. Later, Wang Lun was demoted, and Sun Cong was the main promoter.

He even advocated arresting Wang Lun and killing him in prison. Unfortunately, because Wang Lun's official reputation was good, and there were too many people demoted with Wang Lun at that time, so the law did not blame everyone, so Sun Cong had to let him go.

Wang Lun returned to his hometown.

However, Sun Cong did not let go of his hatred for Wang Lun. This time, Liu Jin wanted to punish Xie Qian, so he also took the opportunity to attack Wang Lun, bribed the eunuch who passed the order to fake the records in the palace, and falsely accused Wang Lun of being given a few officials.

He obeyed and made a big fuss about this, which made Liu Jin's crime of reprimanding Wang Lun.

Although Liu Jin had no big impression of Wang Lun, after Sun Cong's reminder, he knew that the other party was dismissed from office because of impeachment of him, which gave him no good impression of Wang Lun, so he did a favor and let him

Sun Cong let go and do it.

Fortunately, Wang Lun was an official in the court for many years and had accumulated a lot of connections, especially he had old friends with Cabinet Minister Li Dongyang, who could be said to be close friends. So Li Dongyang naturally protects Wang Lun.

Although Wang Lun is at a disadvantage, Sun Cong dares not do anything to Wang Lun for the time being.

However, the situation in the court changed rapidly. Originally, Sun Cong took advantage of Liu Jin's power to suppress Li Dongyang, but as time went by, Jiao Fang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who was originally neutral, suddenly changed his attitude and began to

Supporting Sun Cong to deal with Li Dongyang together has greatly increased the pressure on Li Dongyang. At the same time, it also made Wang Lun's situation suddenly become dangerous.

It was also in this situation that Wang Lun asked Zhou Chong to take his daughter Wang Jinxuan away. In this way, he was the only one left in the family. Even if Sun Cong held the charge on him, he would have no worries.

At worst, you can just give your life to the other party to relieve your anger.

Considering the critical situation in the court, Wang Lun, who was half lying on the chair, couldn't help but sigh. He had just received a message from his friend Li Dongyang the day before yesterday that Jiao Fang, the chief minister of the cabinet, had already told the other two cabinet ministers.

The resolution on his disposal will be decided soon. No matter how much Li Dongyang opposes, it will probably be useless.

"The eunuch party ruins the country! The eunuch party ruins the country! It's a pity that I have assisted the Ming Dynasty for decades, but ended up like this. Your Majesty, what you did really disappoint the old minister!" In the end, Wang Lun suddenly got out of the chair.

He sat up and cursed the eunuch party headed by Liu Jin in anger. Even Emperor Zhengde brought it up. Unfortunately, he was the only one here, so it was even more impossible to spread to His Majesty the Emperor's ears.

However, just as Wang Lun cursed the eunuch party, a gentle knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study, followed by an old servant's voice outside: "Master, Master Zhou Chongzhou sent someone to send a letter to him.

The letter said that it must be handed over to you!"

When Wang Lun heard that Zhou Chong actually sent someone to deliver a letter, he was also surprised. Calculate the time, Zhou Chong should have already taken his daughter Jinxuan on the boat, so why did he deliver a letter at this time?

"Come in!" Although Wang Lun was surprised, he still spoke. Then the door of the study opened, and a white-haired old servant held the letter in his hands and sent it to Wang Lun, and then retreated.

Wang Lun reached out to pick up the letter and looked at it. He found that it was indeed Zhou Chong's handwriting, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy, and it seemed to be written in a hurry. Wang Lun tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter inside and looked at it. At the beginning,

He didn't care much, but he quickly frowned and showed a puzzled expression on his face.

It turned out that Zhou Chong only said one thing in the letter, that is, he told Wang Lun all his instructions to let him mobilize all his strength to delay time for himself. As long as he could delay until the end of April this year, Wang Lun would be safe.

No one will cause trouble for him, and there may even be great opportunities.

Wang Lun couldn't figure it out anyway about Zhou Chong's letter asking him to delay time. Zhou Chong didn't have much explanation in the letter, but just mentioned it, telling him that he would have something in April this year.

When a big event happens, this event will change the fate of many people. As for what big event is, Zhou Chong did not explain it in the letter.

"This...what is this guy doing?" Wang Lun was puzzled by the letter. Now that Liu Jin is in power, even if he finds a way to delay time, he still can't escape the villain like Sun Cong in the end.

The difference is just to die sooner or later, which has no meaning to him at all.

Of course, Wang Lun could not figure out why Zhou Chong asked him to delay time, because according to the original history, Liu Jin was in April of the fifth year of Zhengde. At that time, King Anhua of Gansu rebelled, and the chief censor Yang Yi

Zhang Yong, one of the Eight Tigers of Qing and Zhang Yong was sent to quell the rebellion, but the rebellion was quelled before the army could reach there.

However, although the rebellion of King Anhua was very short, the impact was great, because when Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong returned to the court to report, the two formed an alliance and suddenly counted Liu Jin's seventeen major crimes in the court.

, the result was shocked by Zhengde. He sent someone to capture Liu Jinhou and searched the house. He actually found a lot of physical evidence of rebellion. This made Emperor Zhengde furious. Coupled with the agitation of Li Dongyang and others, Emperor Zhengde finally made Emperor Zhengde decide to make Liu Jinlingchi

And die.

This historical period was seen in later books, but I didn't care much about it. So when I met Wang Lun last time, I didn't expect that Liu Jin would be killed four months later. Fortunately, when I was on the boat, I

Bai Junwan talked, which made him suddenly remember this incident, so he hurriedly wrote a letter and then sent a boat back to Songjiang to deliver a letter to Wang Lun.

Although Wang Lun was in despair, he still didn't believe the inexplicable delay proposed by Zhou Chong, so he didn't care about it at the beginning. He even took Zhou Chong's

The letter was thrown aside, and there was no intention to do it as weekly words.

However, Zhou Chong had known for a long time that with Wang Lun's experience in the officialdom, it was a bit unrealistic to try to persuade him with just a letter, so he was sending Jianer, Wang Jinxuan and others to Shuangyu.

After making simple arrangements, the port immediately returned to Songjiang Mansion on a boat again, preparing to meet Wang Lun in person to convince him.

"Nephew, what do you mean in the letter? Why do you want me to find a way to delay until April this year?" Wang Lun immediately asked when he saw Zhou Chong. Although he did not do as Zhou Chong said,

I was also very curious about the words in his letter.

"Uncle Wang, I can't explain this matter clearly in just one or two words, but you must trust me and try to delay the matter as much as possible. As long as it is April, everything will be clear!" Zhou Chong said.

He said with a serious face. Of course, he could not tell Wang Lun that he had traveled through time from later generations and was familiar with this history, so he could only ensure that his method was effective again and again.

However, after hearing this, Wang Lun shook his head and said, "Zhou Chong, it's not that I don't believe you, but that your words really have no convincing reasons. Now the eunuch party is in power, Liu Jin and Sun Cong and other villains are all over the country.

They hold a grudge against me. Will they let me go in April?"

Seeing that Wang Lun still didn't believe it, Zhou Chong also smiled bitterly. He was kind enough to save Wang Lun's life, but the other party didn't believe in his words at all. If Wang Lun had not been kind to him, he would have shook his sleeves long ago.

Leaving.

However, in order to repay your kindness, Zhou Chong patiently persuaded him: "Uncle Wang, I am absolutely sure about this matter, and I only need to delay it until April. With your connections in the court, I believe this is not a bad thing.

It may be possible, and even if my nephew guessed wrongly, you will not lose much to your uncle. With these four months, there may be other variables, so it will be useful for your uncle to stay.

This is not only a blessing for my Ming Dynasty, but also a blessing for my juniors like Jinxuan and others!"

In order to persuade Wang Lun, Zhou Chong was very thoughtful. In the end, he not only praised Wang Lun, but also brought out Wang Jinxuan and his juniors, hoping to impress Wang Lun with family affection.

As expected, Wang Lun was a little hesitant when he heard this. In his opinion, he might be doomed this time. Even Li Dongyang in the cabinet could not protect him, let alone others? Since he was doomed, he didn't want to owe others anymore.

He was even prepared to give up resistance in his heart, but Zhou Chong's words made him ignite a little more survival. If he could have hope of living, who would be willing to die?

Thinking of this, Wang Lun finally nodded and said with a vicissitudes of life: "Okay, since you are so persistent, then I will be shameless and ask those friends to find a way to delay the time, but I

Months are still a bit too long, and I am afraid that a prison will inevitably be inevitable. I hope that in four months, I will still be alive.” (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
