Chapter 111: Letter to the Holy Spirit (guarantee)
"Is it him? Please come quickly. Wang Zhi, who was in the study, dressed in a green robe and sitting on a dry couch reading a book, heard that his subordinates had come to report that Li Shimian, the eldest grandson of the former Imperial College Prince Li Shimian, came to the door to ask for an audience. He couldn't help but be startled.
greeted.
Not long after, Li Ji, who looked haggard and weathered, was led to the study. After entering the study, Li Ji bowed and said, "Junior Li Ji has met Wang Shangshu."
Wang Zhi stepped forward and helped Li Ji up. After looking at it for a few times, he said with emotion: "Your ancestor and I are ministers in the same palace, and we are close friends. How come there are so many false gifts? When I met you in the past, you were still young.
, now he is a handsome young man. How is Brother Shi Mian doing now?"
Hearing these words, Li Ji couldn't help but his eyes turned slightly red, and his voice, hoarse from long-distance work and travel, was choked with sobs: "Sir, when I came here, my grandfather was already dying, and now I'm afraid of this."
Hearing this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but look sad. After a while, he forced Li Ji to sit down. "Then why did you come to Beijing at this time?"
"This junior followed my grandfather's order and went to Beijing to submit a letter. How can I dare to disobey my grandfather's order? I just wish I couldn't fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandfather." Li Ji wiped the red corners of his eyes with his sleeve and took a look from his arms.
He took out the sandalwood box that his grandfather had given him and solemnly handed it to Wang Zhi with both hands.
Wang Zhi took out the letter from the box and looked at the handwriting that had become frivolous. He couldn't help but have a few more memories and nostalgia in his heart. This proud and proud critic of the four dynasties was old after all.
"Your ancestor is truly a good minister of the country." After reading the letter and knowing Li Shimian's intentions, Wang Zhi couldn't restrain his excitement. He patted his thigh and said sadly: "Brother Shimian, if you were still in the capital, I would have had you."
With such a dignified minister here, why should the court be restless?"
"Master Shangshu." Seeing Wang Zhi's expression, Li Ji couldn't help but be stunned. After all, he was far away in Jiangxi, and his grandfather was no longer in officialdom. Naturally, it was difficult to know the full picture of what happened in the capital, but seeing Wang Zhi's expression
Like this, Li Ji couldn't help but frown in confusion: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Without answering Li Ji's question, Wang Zhi, who had pondered for a long time, stroked his snowflake-like white beard under his chin, and said with a lonely expression: "This matter is really difficult, but I should do my best, and I won't let Brother Shi Mian do it."
It's just that your last wish has come true. You have been working hard all the way, so go and have a good rest. After the morning meeting the next day, you can go to the palace with me to meet the saint."
After hearing this, Li Ji, who was doubtful in his heart, was finally able to let go of his heavy heart, and couldn't help but said with joy: "Then I would like to thank you sir first."
Seeing Li Ji, who still couldn't hide his joy with a tired look on his face, Wang Zhi felt really mixed in his heart, because he knew the emperor's wishes on this matter very well. However, as an official of the Ming Dynasty,
There are some things that you should do even if you know you can't do them. Thinking of this, Lao Wangzhi's stooped waist couldn't help but straighten up, and his big hands full of veins and wrinkles couldn't help but clench into powerful fists.
"Gentlemen, do you have anything else to report?" Zhu Qiyu stood behind the Dragon Case, looking down at the civil and military officials in the palace. Now, the long beard under his chin has grown thicker, which makes his appearance even more majestic.
The career of Yaozi for more than half a year has made his temperament, at least in front of the ministers, more like that of a great emperor who is good at accepting the opinions of his ministers and having his own opinions.
Although many times, these civil and military ministers still give Zhu Qiyu a headache, at least with the promotion and promotion of his close subordinates, more and more people are obedient, and the opinions of Zhu Qiyu, the new emperor, are gradually being accepted by his ministers.
Seconded and approved.
However, Zhu Qiyu was still not satisfied, because many ministers in the court were still deeply grateful to his brother who was captured by the Wasi people on the grassland, such as those who were persuaded by their elder brother to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Dear nobles, these groups with great influence in the Ming Dynasty's military have a great favorable impression of Zhu Qizhen.
This made Zhu Qiyu feel uncomfortable, but he also had no choice. Although he had told the world that it was the benevolence of his young son who inspired Wa Ci, everyone knew the actual situation, but there was no need to offend him.
This young man in power just said it.
As the ministers went out to report on government affairs one by one, Zhu Qiyu could only put away his thoughts, listened carefully, and asked for the cabinet's opinions. Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who always led the court discussions on weekdays,
But he kept lowering his eyebrows and closing his eyes, which made everyone a little confused. However, some people noticed that something was wrong with the old man. Maybe he was preparing to compete with the emperor for something at this moment.
.
An hour passed, and what should be played and what should be dealt with were dealt with. Just when Zhu Qiyu was about to get up and leave the dragon chair, Wang Zhi seemed to have just woken up from his sleep: "Your Majesty, I have something to do.
Start playing."
"Oh, what's going on at Lao Qing's house today? Why don't you tell me early?" Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes secretly, sat back on the dragon chair again, and said with a pleasant expression.
The king went out to the class without changing his expression and said: "Your Majesty, Li Shimian, the former Imperial College of the Imperial Academy, sent his eldest grandson Li Ji to the capital to submit a letter to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly stagnated. Yu Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Wang Zhi. Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but straighten up a little. Suddenly he heard that this famous Ming Dynasty emperor who had scolded several emperors
The hob meat actually wanted to submit a letter, and Zhu Qiyu also had some hairs on his heart.
After all, since Li Shimian became an official, as long as he was in court, there was no emperor who had not been scolded by him. Even if he did not point his nose at you, he would often criticize Sang and Huai, which made Yaozi very embarrassed. But the problem is that this guy is
Qingliu was a very popular person, and after he offered wine to the Imperial Academy, he had countless admirers.
Zhu Qiyu was glad that this old man was no longer in the court some time ago, but he did not expect that he would not let his eldest grandson travel thousands of miles to the capital to submit a letter.
Zhu Qiyu only had to think with his toes to know that this old guy was definitely not writing this letter to praise himself.
"Damn it, Wang Zhi, you old bastard is really a bastard. Isn't this a naked slap on my face?" Zhu Qiyu felt as if there were countless more needles on the dragon chair under him, and he couldn't sit still at all.
The ministers in the palace couldn't help but began to communicate with each other with their eyes. At this time, the new cabinet member Shang Ren emerged from the crowd: "Your Majesty, Li Jijiu is a veteran of the four dynasties and the pillar of the country. Now, he is in the court.
I am still worried about state affairs and should be a role model for the world. I hope that your majesty will allow Li Ji to enter the palace and write a letter."
As soon as Shang Ren came out, almost all the young officials who had been favored jumped out." The minister added..., and the sound continued in the hall. Zhu Qiyu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had no choice. The reason why Shang Ren jumped so quickly.
There is a reason for coming out.
Neither of Shang Ren's fathers and ancestors were officials. In his early years, he was highly regarded by the academic edict Wang Rui. In the tenth year of Xuande's reign, he ranked first in the provincial examination and passed the Jieyuan examination. Later, he failed in the examination many times, so he devoted himself to studying in Taixue.
She was deeply appreciated and valued by Li Shimian, the imperial concubine of the Imperial Academy. It was because of Li Shimian's careful guidance and teaching that I got the first place in the orthodox ten-year examination after ten years, and was awarded the title of Huiyuan, and then the first point in the palace examination was the number one scholar.
, the light of Sanyuan Jiedi, except for Huang Guan, who was expelled by Zhu Di, he is the only one who has received this honor. How can he not be grateful and speak to his teacher?
"Isn't it too rash to enter the palace to meet the king without having an official position?" Wang Wen couldn't help but bite the bullet and came out to shout, but what he got in return was the disdainful looks of countless courtiers.
"In the old days of the Han Dynasty, Chunyu Tiying went to the palace to meet the emperor to save her father. Tiying was no more than a woman, but she could calmly present her affairs to the emperor. Do you think that today's emperor is no better than Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty back then?" Old Man
Wang Zhi rolled his eyes and shouted.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Wang Wen grinned for a long time but remained silent. "**, this old guy, he even brought up things that happened more than a thousand years ago." But the problem is that Wang Wen did not dare to say this.
To put it bluntly, anyone who asked Lao Wang to speak straightly would have already hit the mark. No matter how shameless Zhu Qiyu was, he could not act like a rogue naked, otherwise he would definitely be despised by all the civil and military officials.
"Since all the ministers agree, what's the harm in me meeting him." In his heart, Zhu Qiyu kept gesticulating his middle finger at Lao Wang who blocked his way to death with his words, but he had to continue to show a smile on his face.
He said with an awkward smile and a calm expression.
The waiting time was not long. Li Ji, who was holding a cup of tea and carrying a white mourning veil on his head, appeared in the main hall. Seeing Li Ji bearing a mourning veil, all the ministers closed their butterflies and looked around.
Looking at this tall young man.
After entering the hall, Li Ji respectfully knelt down and bowed to the ground. "Li Ji, a citizen of Jiangxi Anfu, kowtows to Your Majesty."
"Pingshen, why did you enter the palace dressed in heavy filial piety?" Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly and said with a hint of displeasure.
"Back to Your Majesty, just this morning, the common people heard that my grandfather has passed away. My grandfather is dead. The common people are the elders..." At this point, Li Ji's voice was choked with tears. Among the courtiers, many of them were like Li Shimian.
The ministers who served in the palace could not help but look sad.
Zhu Qiyu was naturally too embarrassed to pursue the matter any further, so he could only express a few words of relief. He also lamented the achievements of Li Shimian, a veteran of four dynasties, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to make preparations. After all this, Li Ji finally calmed down.
many.
"Listen to Wang Qing, your ancestor asked you to write to me. Is there any such thing?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the hourglass beside him. The time was approaching noon. He had made an appointment with Concubine Hang, but now, it has been postponed.
After such a long time, Zhu Qiyu became more and more impatient.
"Exactly, this was written by Cao Min's grandfather in front of his sick bed, and he specially ordered Cao Min to present it to Your Majesty." Li Ji respectfully took off the sandalwood box and presented it with both hands. Before the eunuch came to take it, the old man
Wang Zhi quickly stepped forward and took the sandalwood box from Li Ji's hand as a minister. This unreasonable behavior made all the officials in the court widen their eyes. The man who had just stepped out of the queue
The eunuch who was about to come to take over Li Shimian's handwriting couldn't help but froze in place for a moment.
"Wang Lao Aiqing, what are you..." Zhu Qiyu grinned, but he didn't know whether he should scold Wang Zhijun for his lack of etiquette. Wang Zhi couldn't wait to open the sandalwood box and put Li Shimian's letter in it.
He took out the book written by his own hand and recited it on the spot...
It’s even better than the guaranteed second place. Well, I don’t write many words every day, but I’m working hard. If you have the votes, please vote for me. Please also vote for the monthly votes. At least it won’t be too ugly.
