Xia Xun and Fei Fu returned to Jinling City together.【】
Along the way, Fei Fu waited on Xia Xun like an old man. Not to mention, most of the women specially selected by Fei Fu were in line with the Han people's aesthetic views. After washing away the brilliance, they were all very beautiful and tactful girls, especially when they were very affectionate.
A man's heartfelt meekness and respect, taking the trouble to kneel down to greet you, kneel down and bow to you, can make a man feel like he is in heaven.
This kind of submissiveness that has been immersed in the bones cannot be compared with women influenced by modern urban life. Even Han women who regarded their husbands as their first priority at that time cannot compare with them. They were allowed to wait on them all the way and enjoy the tenderness, even if they were traveling in a big car or a small car.
The walking speed is slower, but I don't feel bored either.
After entering the capital, Xia Xun first accompanied Feifu to Tianjie Temple. Because Feifu brought a troupe of dancers with him, it was difficult to live in Tianjie Temple anymore. He met Zua and informed Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of his instructions, and then went with him.
Zu'a said farewell to monk Daoyan together. Daoyan sent a monk official to take them to Honglu Temple and personally delivered them to the gate of the temple.
Seeing Zu'a and his entourage of vehicles driving away, Dao Yan turned to Xia Xun, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, the Duke's demeanor is as good as before. The suppression of Japanese pirates in the East China Sea has been very successful. Congratulations!"
Xia Xun cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Master, thank you for the award. Xia Xun is not a martial artist. He has never been very elegant. I don't dare to say that the Japanese suppression has been successful. At the moment, it can only be said that it is a success in driving away the Japanese."
If the Japanese are successfully suppressed and driven away, they will come back!"
Dao Yan was slightly surprised, and stared at Xia Xun carefully again, then smiled and said: "It is really rare for the Duke to be neither anxious nor impatient at such a young age."
Xia Xun said: "The road ahead is dangerous. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted. How dare Yang An be proud of himself? With the results he has achieved today by suppressing the Japanese for several months, it would be better to replace him with an official, or a military officer, as long as he can have Yang's level."
Power, the trust and support of the emperor, and the use of appropriate methods can achieve the same effect. But was the suppression of the Japanese successful? No! The Japanese just left the shelter."
Zheng He interjected: "Master, what the Duke said is true. According to the accounts of the Japanese pirates we captured, their vitality has not been damaged. The Japanese pirates are gangs of thieves without a fixed organization. Their lost troops can be used at any time after returning home."
Recruitment, some people who are poor and have no livelihood are willing to join, and their boats are easy to build. Just cut down some trees and make a very simple boat that can carry people across the sea.
And we must not be able to continue to use such harsh methods to suppress Japanese pirates along the coast. Firstly, it has indeed affected the normal life of the coastal people and made the market depressed. Secondly, the soldiers are all flesh and blood, and they are asked to patrol the sea.
It is impossible to be on alert day and night and always maintain a state of war. Thirdly, the normal fishery along the coast will also be affected, especially the large number of young people who are ready to defend their homes, which will affect farming. Paying such a high price, but once you wait until autumn
They are back with a vengeance..."
Xia Xun nodded in agreement and said meaningfully: "Not necessarily no one in the court has come to this point. Some people are standing still and watching with cold eyes, just waiting for the queen to settle accounts and adding insult to injury to Yang. In fact, Yang knows very well. I am still
I can hold on because there is no trouble yet. We are just waiting for the crisp autumn weather and the Japanese come back. If the measures we are currently implementing to suppress the Japanese are unable to continue forever, then the situation will be over. So, Fei Fu is anxious, but I am actually more anxious than him.
, the next step is the most critical battle!”
Dao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled lightly and said: "No one has any objections to the suppression of the Japanese, but if it indirectly touches their interests, some people will be unhappy. Come on, has the Duke heard about the impeachment of Shang Shu in various places?"
Since the Fuzhou magistrate Wan Shiyu Shangshu impeached Xia Xun and ended up being demoted to Liaodong, many officials seemed to have noticed something. There were more and more memorials to impeach the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu. Dao Yan originally wanted to remind him
He paused, but after hearing what he said, his tone was already aware of the rumor, so there was no need for him to say more.
Xia Xun smiled and said: "I know something. I know that the emperor is still waiting for my final result. Once the emperor makes a decision, he will stick to it. Now I am not afraid of anyone impeaching me. As long as the decision can be accomplished, even if someone
Even if he wants to hold me back, he is beyond his reach."
Dao Yan nodded, then shook his head: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. The Emperor certainly trusts you, but sometimes you should hide your wings and hide your edge."
Xia Xun couldn't help but feel grateful after hearing this. Dao Yan's status was very transcendent. He didn't need to get involved in the royal family's internal struggles to consolidate his power and position. As long as he didn't want to, no prince would dare to take his idea. This
Although the words were vague, he was able to remind himself verbally, which shows his care.
Xia Xun bowed his head slightly and thanked: "Thank you for the tip, master. Now that the battlefield of the Japanese suppression has moved eastward and overseas, Yang returned to Beijing this time with the intention of requesting an order from His Majesty and going to Japan with the envoy. The envoy is here along the coast.
We cannot take into account both the border situation and the border situation, so I plan to ask the emperor to choose another good general to coordinate with the domestic situation of suppressing Japanese pirates."
Dao Yan was surprised at first, and then nodded happily. He is in a high position without being arrogant, holds great power without being arrogant, knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the general situation. Such a young man is really impressive.
Although Dao Yan has an insight into world affairs, he is not a living god after all. He only says that although Yang Xu is young, he is a capable minister who is not arrogant and knows how to advance and retreat. However, he does not know that the "anti-Yang movement" intensifying in Beijing is the biggest
The driving force behind this is Yang Xu himself. If he knew this, he would probably have to raise his purple golden bowl and shout, "What a monster! I will accept you!"
After Xia Xun said goodbye and left, Zheng He said unwillingly: "Why does the Duke of Fu have to hand over the power of suppressing the Japanese in the five provinces? Suppressing the Japanese in the Japanese country is the continuation of the suppression of the Japanese in the East China Sea. The Duke of Fu is also responsible for it, and there are
What?"
Dao Yan smiled slightly and said earnestly to Zheng He: "Haha, you have to continue to practice to achieve this worldly way!"
※※
Xia Xun left Tianjie Temple and hurried to his mansion.
After a series of official affairs turmoil, Xia Xun has matured rapidly and is no longer Wu Xia Ameng.
While he was in Beijing, he had already begun planning to infiltrate Japan, collect intelligence, and understand the current power factions, laying the foundation for his eventual annihilation of the Japanese and the Japanese in their homeland.
When he left Beijing, he began to arrange for people in Beijing to do two things. The first thing was to write a letter to recommend the opening of Haishi at the appropriate time. This appropriate time was when someone impeached him. The Ming Dynasty suppressed the Japanese.
Every time the minister of the Japanese suppression campaign was impeached by officials mainly from coastal areas for one reason or another, there was no exception. Xia Xun was not narcissistic enough to think that he was loved by everyone and could be exempted from vulgarity. But sometimes impeachment is not necessarily a bad thing. Use
Well, it is the help for him to achieve his goal.
The second thing is to add fuel to the flames, use someone to impeach, and mobilize more people to impeach. The fundamental purpose of doing so is still to serve the purpose of attracting the attention of Emperor Yongle, the highest decision-maker. Zhu Di is a strong ruler with a different personality.
If you want to persuade a ruler to do something or suggest something to him, you must have corresponding skills. No matter how upright your purpose is and how clear your conscience is, necessary means are still necessary. You cannot imitate Hai Rui.
, when things go wrong, you are just one muscle. As long as you have the road in hand, you can't do anything great if you block others and push others, and gods block gods. Xia Xun thinks that the saying "loyal ministers should be more treacherous than treacherous ministers" is very reasonable.
It is impossible to enjoy the benefits exclusively. Is it really a good thing to make yourself stand out?
Some people say that "a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" is the product of the mediocrity of the ancients, which is not active and healthy, but we have to understand that this is our living environment. And those who have not yet stood at the top of the pyramid are
How many people who are like stars in the officialdom and are always struggling in various news finally achieve success?
Unless one day we have universal suffrage in the real sense, the old proverb "A tree that is as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind" will always have its validity.
Only by giving up can you gain.
However, how many people know how to let go?
The reason why Dao Yan admired Xia Xun was because he admired this worldly young man for having such vision, insight and mind.
"Take one step, three steps, brother is now very impressive!"
Thinking about his various arrangements, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel a little complacent about his growing maturity.
Seeing that Xia Xunchi's route seemed wrong, a soldier finally couldn't help but remind him: "My lord, it seems that the route we are taking is wrong. Didn't it mean that the ladies have moved to a new residence?"
"ah?"
Xia Xun was lost in thought when he was suddenly reminded by a guard that he was indeed going to the old house borrowed by Wang Ning's consort. He couldn't help but burst into laughter and quickly turned his horse's head towards the Duke Fuguo's Mansion in the west of the imperial city.
.
He was an imperial envoy with an imperial order. When he returned to Beijing, he had to go to the court to submit the imperial edict. Once he missed the morning court time, he had to wait until the next day to make a pilgrimage to the emperor. Before that, he was not allowed to go directly to the harem to see him. In fact, strictly speaking, he was not allowed to go to the harem before.
Before the imperial edict is returned, the imperial envoy cannot even return home. Instead, he should stay in the post house until he is relieved of his duties after the edict is returned.
However, this rule is really unreasonable. Even if it’s officials from other places, why should officials in Beijing do this? It’s nonsense to say that it’s to avoid leaking any secrets. Which imperial envoy does not leave Beijing openly to perform official duties? What’s so shameful about it?
Secret? Moreover, if they really need to communicate with someone, there are many ways and means, what problem can be solved by staying in the inn? Is it just to show that they are on official business and not enter the house three times? So the rules are rules,
But few people adhere to it unswervingly.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xun didn't want to go through the door three times without entering, but when he arrived at the door of his own house, he couldn't get in.
Because the servants who answered the door of Duke Fu's Mansion didn't know his eldest man at all. Xia Xun never thought that he would have to prepare a "palace sign" when he returned to his home. As a result, because he had no credentials, he was arrested.
Blocked at the door of his house.
: Friends who are waiting for double the amount of money, please hurry up and vote. No need to wait. It is impossible to double the number of drops during the Spring Festival. If there is a double amount during the Spring Festival, won’t the authors not even be able to celebrate the New Year? How can a harmonious society be so inhumane?
