In the evening, Wang Faxiang rushed to Fang Congzhe's prime minister's mansion as promised.

This time the matter was more urgent, so he didn't avoid anything. Fortunately, he had spitted his eyes beforehand and after confirming that no one was following him, he stood outside the corner gate and waited.

Wang Faxiang had been waiting for more than an hour. If someone else had changed, he would probably not be able to stand it for so long and left. However, Wang Faxiang stood safely. The sky was getting darker, and his whole body seemed to be melting into the depths of the shadows.

Except for Wang Faxiang himself, no one knows how much he does every day and how busy he will be.

From the capital to Shanhaiguan, Bao Zhizunhua, Santunying, Yongping and other places, the information points of the Military Intelligence Bureau are all presided over by Wang Faxiang, and he is also responsible for civil and commercial intelligence. There is a large intelligence point here in the capital, and Wang Faxiang is the general manager.

Starting this year, Zhang Han and Yang Qiu paid special attention to the intelligence work from the capital to Liaodong, because the Ming court has lagged too much behind the Later Jin Dynasty. The Titang officials of the Ministry of War in the capital were bribed by the Later Jin Dynasty. Li Yongfang presided over the intelligence work of the Later Jin Dynasty. I don’t know how many detailed works were sent to the capital every year. Shenyang and Liaoyang in Liaodong are full of detailed works of the Later Jin Dynasty. Zhang Han does not intend to intervene in the situation in Liaodong for the time being, and it is also lacking in strength. So he asked Wang Faxiang to manage the capital carefully to Shanhaiguan. Later there were Ningyuan and Guangning. Now Wang Faxiang has mastered the Shanhaiguan area and sent people to Guangning and Ningyuan to start setting up strongholds, but it is still a little far from truly gaining a foothold and carrying out effective work. Therefore, he is very busy every day. When he first arrived in the capital, he did many things himself, but he still has a lot of free time. Now everything is told to others to do, but he is very busy every day. It is still a kind of rest for him to wait for someone like this.

In this matter, it was not originally related to Wang Faxiang. Recently, his main work has gone from collecting intelligence to actively setting up intelligence stations, excavating and training personnel, and reconnaissing suspicious works of the Later Jin in various parts of the capital. Another important task is to collect files of various party members in the capital in case of emergencies.

This time, the Donglin Party and Insider and Mao Yuanyi have put in enough effort. Otherwise, Wang Faxiang would not know how to start after Zhang Han's matter was assigned.

In this regard, Wang Faxiang felt quite fortunate. From intelligence personnel to one party's chief, there were more than 50 people who directly obeyed his command, all of whom were capable intelligence personnel. In addition, he suspected that the Inner Defense Department had another line in the capital, and even a secret line was monitoring him. Judging from all the clues, the Inner Defense System had another system, which was not under the command of Wang Faxiang or his superiors. He felt that he needed to be vigilant at all times and did not dare to slack off at all.

These people are people who have been in the dark. Even the increasingly strict rules and regulations of He Yusheng are difficult to apply them to these intelligence personnel. They will also be wary of each other. They are not as harmonious and friendly as He Yusheng's other departments. Wang Faxiang sometimes feels too strong pressure and wants to leave this department, but he is also reluctant to live a good life and the power he holds in his hands, so he can only work harder.

After a while of darkness, the corner door was pushed open silently, and Xu Xiaoqi came out of the corner door with a lantern, his face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wang." Xu Xiaoqi said hurriedly: "But I have to go in later... It seems that there is something big tonight. All qualified managers in the mansion were asked to stay to check all the things in the mansion, and then said that the master was going to summon us to talk, and I have to go in again soon."

In less than a year, Xu Xiaoqi's face also had a lot of capable expression. The servant he hired was not as heavy as the one in the Fang family, but the Fang family was not a noble family, and there were not many slaves in the family. Wang Faxiang gave him a lot of money to buy several housekeepers in the Fang family. Now Xu Xiaoqi is no longer the lowest-level sweeper, and he has become one of the main officials. Wang Faxiang asked him to do things more seriously. Xu Xiaoqi was praised by Fang Congzhe several times. You should know that Fang Congzhe ignored the affairs in the inner house.

Wang Faxiang did not talk about the specific matters for now, but only said: "Xiao Qi, how did I treat you in the past two years?"

Xu Xiaoqiyizheng said, "Brother Wang treats me as much as a mountain. If you hadn't brought me some advice and help me with money, how could I do this today?"

"Very good." Wang Faxiang said: "Today is the time for you to repay me."

He continued: "My home mainly sells Lingqiu iron tools to the capital. It is crucial to first capture the Ministry of Works of the Court. Then, the military towns and the people use iron to make a whole game of chess. This matter is very important, and it is related to the life and death of Yusheng and I..."

"Brother Wang, let's talk about it, I will do whatever you want me to do."

"Okay..." Wang Faxiang said: "Your Xiangye Fang values ​​friendship. Although you are an insignificant servant, as long as you are brave enough to tell me about your love... and you are a relative of your uncle's family. You will have to go there in the future and ask Mr. Fang to give me some kindness and care. In this way, you will have a good end in the future, and this matter will probably be done."

"How did this happen?" Xu Xiaoqi said in surprise: "How can I say I leave the prime minister's mansion and go to work elsewhere?"

"Brother." Wang Faxiang put his shoulder on his shoulder and said, "The assistant Fang Xiangye has finished his work and is going to return to his original hometown. Although he is from the capital, he is in Zhejiang and can only return to Zhejiang after resigning. Do you think he has to bring you people with you when he returns to Zhejiang? Today we gather together to inspect your family's property and ask you to speak, and we will definitely be dismissing you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Who is the one who asked us to do something about our prime minister?" Xu Xiaoqi did not agree at the moment. His face was full of anger. Fang Congzhe was very kind to everyone and took good care of his servants. When he heard that he was going to take the position, Xu Xiaoqi felt furious.

"This matter is very complicated." Wang Faxiang said: "I will be unable to explain it to you for a while. We will talk slowly in the future, but you need to do what I said tonight, okay?"

"Okay, Brother Wang, I'll listen to you."

Xu Xiaoqi agreed and turned back to Fang Mansion with a lantern. Wang Faxiang leaned against the wall, feeling relaxed all over, and a feeling of incomparable relaxation surged into his heart.

...

Fang Congzhe summoned his servants to inspect the family's wealth today, and asked his servants to prepare to listen to his lectures, and he was indeed ready to leave Beijing.

Recently, some censors led by the Donglin Party have repeatedly criticized him. Their words were not fierce and they still had room for room. Fang Congzhe understood in his heart that this was a reminder from the moderate faction in the Donglin Party that if he did not go to the position quickly and left by himself, he might be even more powerful.

After being an official for many years, Fang Congzhe knew that the court's party struggles were like this. No matter how much he did before, it would be in vain. What's important is that now he has become a stumbling block for others, and it is indeed time for him to leave.

However, before leaving Beijing, he still needs to see a few people.

The candle suddenly shook, and Fang Congzhe's study room was pushed open, and a thin man in a cloth clothes entered the study room under Changsu's guidance.

Fang Congzhe, who had been in charge of the Ming Dynasty cabinet for several years, reconciled the parties, and had once overwhelmed the world, actually stood up from behind the desk and made a very polite and sober gesture.

"How dare you be a villain?" The guest was thin and narrow, with a long face. His expression was both confident and wild. At the same time, there was a very smart light in his eyes. This was a person with a not very likable temperament, but no matter who he saw, he would think that he was a smart person. Even when he was polite to the chief minister of the dynasty, even though he was just a commoner, this person could not hide his madness inside.

Fang Congzhe's character is elegant and gentle, never aggressive. He should not appreciate or like such a person, but he had to show an expression of appreciation on his face. He smiled and said, "Manage the affairs of the world with a commoner. Wang Wenyan, I admire your courage and responsibility very much. No matter what, this time, Yang Dahong and others rushed into the forbidden palace, and were not afraid of the beating of the internal supervisor and moved forward all the way until they hugged the emperor to the Qianqing Palace, shouting long live the mountain, and then they made a name for righteousness. Just by rushing to this point, you can keep your name in history."

Wang Wenyan was very happy when she heard this, and she couldn't hide her expression on her face, and said, "This is the most proud thing for a villain in his life!"

Fang Congzhe said: "You are traveling with Eunuch Wang from Silijian?"

Wang Wenyan said frankly: "I am indeed in charge of the Prince Wang, and it is also a good bus with Donglin and the others."

"Before, it was your work to provoke internal struggles between the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang?"

“This…is exactly.”

The three parties were fighting in the internal affairs after they wiped out the Donglin forces. In the 46th year of the Wanli period, the three parties controlled the government affairs and wiped out the backbone forces of the Donglin Party. Only some bigwigs remained in the court. This matter was a bit too much and became the target of public criticism. Cracked in the three parties also began to appear within the three parties. As a result, Wang Wenyan seized the opportunity and did some tricks within the three parties, which incited the backbone of the three parties to coax the three parties. As a result, the three parties suffered great damage to the vitality of the three parties. Many backbone forces withdrew. The three parties were only the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party. Even the Zhejiang Party with a deep foundation was severely damaged.

Fang Congzhe took over Shen Yiguan's mantle, after all, he was also the leader of the Zhejiang Party. At this time, he did not speak harshly, but after a series of inquiries, Wang Wenyan, who was still arrogant just now, was already a little nervous, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"This time, the Donglin Dukes were successful in supporting the current emperor is also the time when Wang Wenyan is accomplished. What you need to do now is to get me to take over, and then Liu Jihui takes over the position of chief assistant, right?"

"The villain dares not."

Wang Wenyan was a little afraid. These things were indeed his work, but he thought he was doing very obscurely. Only a few people in his party knew the inside story. But he didn't know why the assistant in front of him knew these things, and he didn't know why Fang Congzhe summoned him today and then talked about these things in person.

"You do these things in Classical Chinese. Some are careful and some are bold. If you don't have any plans, you won't be able to accomplish anything. You are bold and meticulous. You have been a prison officer and are familiar with the stories and personal affairs of this dynasty. To be honest, I am also glad for them. However, if you don't have any secrets, you will lose your position, and if you don't have any secrets, you will lose your life. You need to be more meticulous in Classical Chinese in the future."
