In the Yuan Pavilion, Xie Jin carefully read an official letter, then his face darkened, and he closed the official letter with a snap, saying: "Lü Shangshu, the emperor took Annan counties and appointed officials to govern them, and also issued an imperial edict to visit the Ming Dynasty's learned and virtuous people.
Founder and upright scholars were sent to the capital for promotion, and Annan scholars were promoted to the Imperial Academy to study. This was to impart royal enlightenment and win over the people of Annan. You should understand this deeply. [ ] But look, how are all this arranged?
"
Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, was sitting on the chair opposite, drinking tea. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the chief minister think there is anything wrong with Lu's actions?"
Xie Jin said displeasedly: "What I said is so clear, doesn't Lu Shangshu understand? Special care must be given to these Annan scholars. The best school buildings and dormitories must be set aside for these Annan scholars, and some treatment should be given to them.
Special care is to make them feel the emperor's kindness and profound kindness. If you treat them as ordinary students, how can you help the emperor win over the hearts of the Annan people? Don't send them to the emperor now, I won't be able to pass this test."
Xie Jin threw the official letter in front of Lu Zhen and said calmly: "Go back and make a new copy."
Lu Zhen's face turned red when he was thrown by him. He held back his anger and picked up the official letter, bowed his hand to Xie Jin, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
When Xie Jin saw him leaving in anger, he couldn't help but curled his lips and said to the little eunuch waiting next to him: "For someone like this, who is not very knowledgeable and has no skills, I have something to say, it is just right to give it to him."
The little eunuch joked: "I wonder what Mr. Ge has thought of?"
Xie Jin said: "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and have shallow roots; the bamboo shoots in the mountains have sharp mouths, thick skin and empty stomachs." The little eunuch serving in Yuan Pavilion was also well-read and literate. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing.
, someone walked in at this time, happened to hear these words, and laughed: "The gentleman is always mean, who are you mocking again?"
When Xie Jin saw him, he stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out Everbright is here. Sit down quickly."
The man who came in was also a bachelor of the cabinet. His name was Hu Guang, who was the number one scholar in the second year of his reign. That year, Hu Guang was supposed to be the number two scholar, but the name of Wang Gen, who was supposed to be the number one scholar, was unlucky.
, was demoted one level by the founding emperor Zhu Yun and promoted him to the top scholar. On the day Zhu Di entered the city, several people sighed, but in the end only Wang Gen committed suicide. Hu Guang packed up and went to support Zhu Di with Jie Jin.
.
Although in terms of personal affairs and ethics, Hu Guang is a bit of a wallflower and a speculator, but his talent and learning are indeed there. He is cautious and thoughtful, has settled many injustices, and paid attention to the sufferings of the people.
During his tenure as a bachelor, he indeed did many good things that were beneficial to the country and the people. He was a cabinet minister that Zhu Di relied on very much.
When Zhu Di was on the northern expedition, he took him with him because he had government affairs to deal with. This time he also accompanied Zhu Di back from Saibei. He had a very good personal relationship with Xie Jin. The two were "born in the same neighborhood and grew up together.
The relationship is "officials and officials", fellow townsmen, classmates and colleagues, so among the several bachelors, they have the best personal relationship. Moreover, the two have already married children and have in-laws, and the engagement has been concluded, but they have not yet gotten married.
Xie Jin smiled and recounted what had just happened. Hu Guang frowned, waved the young eunuch out, and said to Xie Jin sincerely: "As the chief minister of the cabinet, the gentry has a high position and is talented. It's just that he has this temper.
, I have to talk about you. Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites, ranked among the ninth ministers, how can you scold me like a petty official? You are still laughing at others behind their backs. These little eunuchs have nothing to do and like to chew on their tongues. Once I tell you
When word spread to Lu Zhen'er, it became an intractable rift. Why bother making enemies like this? You, when will you get rid of your sarcastic habit?"
Xie Jin stroked his beard and smiled, not taking it seriously, and just asked: "Guangda, are you here to teach me a lesson? What's the matter?"
Hu Guang said "Oh" and said, "That's it. Lord Ji Gangji has taken two new concubines. They are twin sisters. They are very beautiful and are very favored by Lord Ji. I just wrote a calligraphy, I want to ask someone to send it to him to congratulate him. I was wondering if you could also write something, and I’ll ask someone to send it with you."
Xie Jin was displeased when he heard this and scolded: "Guangda, you are the most unprincipled person. You want to make friends with anyone, no matter who you are. How can I, Xie Jin, flatter someone like him? If you don't give it away, it will be like a piece of rubble." I won't send it to Ji Gang's house either."
Hu Guangdao: "Gentleman, although Mr. Ji is different from you and me in martial arts, in terms of character and rank, he is not inferior. We often see each other in the palace, but it is just a matter of convenience..."
Xie Jin said with a stern face: "Guangda, you don't have to say anymore, I won't pay attention to him. I advise you not to condescend to him, Ji Gang? Who the hell is he?" Then Xie Jin gushed. He kept telling a lot of truths, which made Hu Guang smile bitterly. He had to hand over his hands and say, "Okay, okay, sir, don't talk anymore. Why don't I admit defeat? Okay, then you are busy, I will leave first." Let’s have a drink together tonight.”
Jie Jin was still angry and waved his hand and said: "I won't go. Before the emperor went to the north, I started compiling the "Yongle Dadian". After the emperor came back, I wanted to report the compilation progress. I don't want the palace to be troubled, and the emperor... …, Now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, I have to sort out the matters related to the "Yongle Dadian" and report them to the emperor. You can go on your own."
Hu Guang sighed and had to say goodbye.
The little chamberlain came in, saw his face, and asked with a smile: "What did Mr. Hu Ge say to Mr. Ge that made Mr. Ge unhappy?"
Jie Jin snorted and did not take Hu Guang's advice to heart. He told the little eunuch who was always waiting on him about the matter, and sneered: "If Hu Guang comes to talk, I will ignore him. If it is When Ji Gang comes to ask for a poem, I might as well give him one."
The little chamberlain blinked and said: "The poems written by Mr. Ge must be excellent if Qu Xing comes to earth. I wonder how Mr. Ge is going to write a congratulatory poem to Master Ji?"
Xie Jin twisted his beard and thought for a moment, then chanted smoothly: "One is a big Qiao and two is a small Qiao, with three inches of golden lotus and four inches of waist. They bought five, six or seven packs of powder, and they are dressed very coquettishly."
After Xie Jin finished speaking, he stood up and started laughing. The little waiter chewed the food carefully and couldn't help laughing.
Xia Xun, who was smiling for a while, stepped in and saw Jin Jin laughing so hard that he couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the gentleman to make him laugh so happily?"
After Xia Xun returned to Beijing, Xie Jin had already visited him at his house. This was not the first time they had met. As soon as he saw him coming, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, walked forward to greet him with a smile, and asked: "Guo Why are you interested in visiting me today? Please sit down quickly."
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "You have been sitting at home for a long time, and you are the same. Sitting for a long time is harmful to your health. The sun is just right today, so you and I can go for a walk outside."
Xie Jin knew no reason and hurriedly followed him out of Yuan Pavilion. The two of them walked slowly under the palace corridor, with the autumn sun half shining on them, making them warm.
Xie Jin told Xia Xun what had just happened as a joke, and Xia Xun felt it was inappropriate. Regardless of Lu Zhen or Ji Gang, it was okay to disagree with the other party's actions, and it was okay to disagree with the other party and not work together. However, Xie Jin was proud of his talent and unforgiving, and he indeed offended too many colleagues.
Xia Xun vaguely remembered that in history, there was not one official who suffered with Xie Jin. Most of the other officials had people to help him. Regardless of whether they could be rescued, at least they had these people taking care of them and they did not suffer much in prison. But this Xie Jin
Few people pay attention to Jin Que. It must be said that although his talent is outstanding, he is indeed a failure in this aspect.
Just as Xia Xun was about to give him a few words of advice, a man walked in front of him with great dignity.
Xia Xun took a quick look and saw that it was Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxu also saw them at this time. He walked closer and looked up and down, looking very arrogant.
Xia Xun and Xie Jin hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Xu (Xie Jin), has met His Highness the King of Han."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said to Xia Xun: "On my way back south, I met you briefly and didn't bother to talk at that time. At that time, the Duke's face was dark and thin. Looking at you now, you look much better."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "His Royal Highness accompanied me on the expedition to Mobei, and the hard work has been fruitful. This hard work has made me even more powerful, and my heroic spirit is overwhelming."
Zhu Gaoxu snorted triumphantly and said: "I followed the Holy Spirit in the Northern Expedition, fought fiercely for half a year, traveled thousands of miles, killed tens of thousands of enemy chiefs, forced Benya to death, and made an forced landing in Arutai. I have made great achievements. In fact, those are all
Because of my father, the emperor, the three armies sacrificed their lives and worked to the death. When my father went on the northern expedition, the most worrying thing was the war situation in the Western Regions. By a stroke of luck, Tamerlane died of illness, and a big dispute arose.
On the other hand, your Majesty, you were trapped in the Western Regions, wandering around, and escaped almost death. Although you have not made any achievements, you are a lucky general. What is the old saying? Oh, there is hard work even without credit. What I have done is really hard.
That's fine. Why did you come to the palace today? But does your father want to reward you for your hard work? Hahahaha..."
Zhu Gaoxu was sarcastic, but Xia Xun didn't take it seriously and just smiled in response.
When Zhu Gaoxu saw that he was smiling and not answering, he was not very angry. He even looked at him with a joking smile, which seemed very boring. He snorted coldly and said proudly: "I am practicing sky training in the west of the city.
I was marshaling the guards and horses, and suddenly I was summoned by my father to come to the palace to discuss matters. You two are enjoying each other very well, and it is very interesting, but I don’t have that leisure time. Let’s talk about you, and I will..."
Before he could finish speaking, a young eunuch came over from behind him. When the old man saw Xia Xun, he shouted loudly: "My lord, you are here. Your Majesty ordered your servants to invite the Duke into the palace to discuss matters. Your servants rushed
When I arrived at the Duke's Mansion, I heard that the Duke had gone to the Dongji Work Factory. The slaves rushed to the godfather's place, but they missed it again. The Duke came to the palace..."
"Oh, Your Highness the King of Han, I have seen your Highness." The little eunuch saw that Zhu Gaoxu was there and hurriedly greeted him. Zhu Gaoxu was still showing off proudly just now, when he heard that Xia Xun was also involved in the meeting called by his father.
, not realizing that his face was dull, he snorted with a straight face and walked away.
I had met the young eunuch Xia Xun. His original name was Mu Si. Because he served Mu En and their surnames were similar, he took the opportunity to recognize Mu En as his godfather. Mu En was actually not very old, and he was still a young man.
Young people, but what the palace recognizes as their godfather is their status and power, not their age. Therefore, after Mu En became the director of the Dongchang Factory, he promoted his godson to the emperor as a messenger.
A little yellow man who serves.
Musi bowed her butt and waited for the King of Han to leave, then she said to Xia Xun: "My lord, there has been a big change in the south. Your Majesty has summoned the Ministry of War. Several adults from the Ministry of Household are discussing matters. My lord, you must hurry up."
, don’t keep the emperor waiting.”
