The area east of Jubaomen (Zhonghua Gate) in Nanjing is commonly known as Laomendong. There is an extraordinary mansion with whitewashed walls and black tiles, and exquisite wood carvings on the horse head wall, showing the noble status of the owner.
This is the house of Sun Jinding, the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty. At this moment, Grand Scholar Sun is wielding a hoe, lifting the weight lightly, sweating like rain, weeding cabbage in the back garden.
A good garden does not grow flowers and plants, but cabbage. Could it be that this person is crazy? No! This great scholar Sun has a story.
When he was an official, he accepted bribes from others and was sent to Guilin to serve in the army. He thought that his life would be over, but he was lucky enough to meet the noble man in his life: His Highness King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty.
Bahun, became the hero of Conglong. After he became famous, the back garden was also filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs. He planted whatever was valuable, for fear that it would not be worthy of his noble status.
As a result, fate always torments the poor. After the failure of the party struggle, he was demoted to Nuergan as governor when he was much older. In that cold place, what he wanted to eat most was cabbage from his hometown. But Nuergan did that.
The ground was extremely cold, and cabbage did not grow. The occasional shipment was wilted by the freeze. He got angry, so he planted cabbage himself in the backyard of the Governor's Yamen. However, it was too cold to grow cabbage. From then on, he secretly vowed to do so.
, if he could return to Beijing next year, he would have to plant cabbage all over his house!
Later, Xianyu turned over and returned to Beijing successfully. The first thing he did when he returned home was to shovel all the exotic flowers and plants in the garden behind Sun's house and replace them all with cabbage. Not for eating, but for food.
Don’t forget the days when Nuergan couldn’t eat cabbage, and warn yourself to be careful in your words and deeds in everything you do!
"Chaozhongcuo"
Mr. is so sick that he cannot be cured.
Red rice hates morning cooking.
You grow your own cabbage in the border and pickle it into yellow rice in a vat.
The onions are fatter and thinner, the sesame oil is slowly simmered, and the soup cake is silky.
A cup in the morning and evening will do no harm, and the gods will stop being crazy after nine turns.
Sun Jinding was experiencing the joy of labor when his youngest son Sun Yingwen came to him and said, "Father, Jin Yushi is here."
Sun Yingwen is the third son of Mr. Sun Ge. He is just twenty years old and is a new candidate.
Sun Ge was always a miserable man. In his early years, he broke the law and was exiled. He only gave birth to a daughter and no time to give birth to a son. Later, when he became rich, he had three sons, all of whom were not very old. The eldest son, Sun Yingzhong, is thirty-three years old and is now
The chief envoy of Jiangxi Province; his second son, Sun Yingxian, 30 years old, is now a doctor in the Huai'an Salt Class Promotion Branch, in charge of the salt industry in Lianghuai; only the youngest son remains with him.
"Well, tell the housekeeper to invite Yushi Jin into the study." Sun Jinding grunted and handed the hoe to Sun Yingwen, "You can hoe the grass carefully for my father. This cabbage is the most delicate. When there is more grass, it will grow."
No more fat."
"Yes, father," Sun Yingwen said with a sad face. It was hard to disobey his father's orders, so the poor son of a great scholar had to bend down and become a farmer.
Jin Yushi refers to the backbone of the Sun Party, Jinbao, the censor of Youqiandu, and Ye Shimao, both of whom are known as Sun Jinding's two major think tanks. Ye Shimao has now been promoted to the chief envoy of Shanbei Province (renamed Tomsk Province)
, he became Sun Jinding’s most effective confidant.
There is a reason why Mr. Sun Ge liked Jin Bao. He had a firm political stance and a strong sense of party. That year, Mr. Sun Ge was demoted to a slave to blow the cold wind. Jin Bao was also implicated and was demoted to Taiwan as a county magistrate.
.We are in the same boat! After regaining power, Sun Jinding immediately promoted Jinbao to the position of censor of Youqiandu.
The bachelors of the Ming Dynasty cabinet are the most dignified, wearing official robes and walking in official steps. What they pay attention to is calm walking and prime ministerial demeanor. The bachelor of Sun Sun does not pay attention to this and walks very fast, like a gust of wind. He is a criminal official.
I’m used to being ridiculed and I really don’t care about this.
After a few steps, he entered the study room. Jin Bao was already waiting, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "I pay my respects to Mr. Ge."
Sun Jinding waved his hand, "Mr. Wei, please don't use these false gifts between us. I came to you because I want you to give me some advice."
"If you have anything to do, please give me your orders. I am willing to do my best."
"Hey! The day before yesterday, King Ji sent someone to give me a piece of fine sable skin, and expressed the hope that I could help Chen Bangyan enter the cabinet. Yesterday, after a banquet, the Crown Prince hinted that I would prevent Chen Bangyan from entering the cabinet. The Emperor
I don’t want to offend either the prince or the king of Ji. What can I do? What can I do?”
Jinbao was amused when he heard this. Politics is like gambling. You must not bet if you are not sure. The current situation is that both the prince and King Ji want to drag Mr. Ge into the water, but Mr. Ge is standing on the shore and refuses.
Jump into the water.
He immediately stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are wise, you should never express your position on this kind of matter. In the past, His Majesty once said, 'Ask Zheng Feng for important matters.' If he asks for your opinion, you should answer with this sentence. In this way, it will be
I have neither offended the Crown Prince nor the King of Ji."
"Ask Zheng Feng when you are in doubt about a big matter? Yes, His Majesty did say such a thing. Wonderful, wonderful! You still have more ideas. Hahaha!"
Sun Jinding laughed heartily and insisted on leaving Jin Bao at home and had a drink before letting him go.
??
In the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, Zhu Hengjia was a little depressed.
Originally, he thought that Chen Bangyan was a meritorious official from Conglong, with high qualifications and great contributions, so there would be no resistance to letting him join the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, I asked Guan Shouzhen first, but Guan Shouzhen strongly objected, saying that Chen Bangyan was too sharp-edged and would probably turn the court upside down once he entered the cabinet.
Then I asked Gu Yi, who said that Chen Bangyan was cautious and not a kind person, and he disagreed.
Well, the two of them disagreed, which means that Ji'er was dissatisfied with Chen Bangyan. Then there was only one possibility, Chen Bangyan defected to Den'er. Considering that Chen Bangyan was the chief contributor to Den'er's Shangshu, it is indeed possible.<
/p>
The old emperor, who was such a person, had analyzed the situation of the court to a close in a matter of seconds. However, he still insisted on letting Chen Bangyan join the cabinet. Without him, the crown prince's party had too much power in the cabinet, threatening his throne.
The old man is still in good health and does not want to hand over power early, so he wants to add some sand to the cabinet to check and balance the princelings.
Ask Su Guansheng again. Unexpectedly, as soon as this matter was mentioned, this "Three Don't Want Master" got angry and said that when Chen Bangyan was the governor of Mongolia, he accepted bribes from various Mongolian ministries and allowed his subordinates to smuggle and make money wantonly. Such a person,
It's fine if you don't punish him. Why do you still want to transfer him to the center?
Alas! This Mr. Su is an upright man and a good official, but he just doesn’t know how to turn around and is stubborn. Do you think I don’t know about Chen Bangyan’s money making? But when I employ people, I look at all aspects. Chen Bangyan is a little greedy.
Money, but he made the governance of Inner and Outer Mongolia as stable as Mount Tai, allowing the Rakshasa army in the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition to have a stable rear. I used his ability! Unfortunately, Mr. Su only sees one side and cannot see the overall situation!
He asked Sun Jinding again. The cunning old man actually said, "Selecting talents to join the cabinet is a national matter. Your Majesty once said, 'Ask Zheng Feng for important matters.' Please ask Zheng Feng. I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid that I will miss the national affairs."
".Bah! Even if he is afraid of missing the state affairs, he is clearly a cunning old man. Neither the prince nor King Ji wants to offend him.
Finally, I asked Zheng Feng. Zheng Feng was loyal and outspoken. He believed that Chen Bangyan's entry into the cabinet might intensify the brotherly conflict between the crown prince and King Ji, so it would be better not to join the cabinet.
Of the five cabinet ministers, four opposed Chen Bangyan's entry into the cabinet and one did not express his position.
How should this matter be handled? The great emperor fell into deep thought.
