"The higher you go, the more dangerous Chen Xingxiu is."
Ming Wenshi was frightened when he heard these words. I don’t know when his career began to be linked to his teacher. How could Ming Wenshi not understand what Mr. Ming Yongshou said after so many years in the officialdom?
What do you mean, once his position rises, in the eyes of other courtiers, he will become Chen Xingxiu in order to make his big branch and leaves more lush.
Only after he continued to promote Ming Wenshi, there will be some people who follow the trend and take the initiative to get closer to Chen Xingxiu, and Chen Xingxiu himself is a high-ranking lord, so as long as Ming Wenshi climbs faster, the big tree of Chen Xingxiu will
It will become more and more prosperous, and when it reaches a certain level, even if Chen Xingxiu himself has no intention of forming a gang, in the eyes of others, it has formed a certain scale.
Hundreds of birds look toward the phoenix, a big tree attracts birds to perch, and a man can become a king; a big tree attracts wind and rain, and the trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them. These are all chain reactions.
It is impossible for people who are in office today not to know this truth. Although Ming Yongshou refused to promote Ming Wenshi because he wanted to avoid suspicion, in fact, he did so more because he wanted to protect Chen Xingxiu, who is now able to tell the truth in the Daliang court.
, it is not easy for Chen Xingxiu to get to where he is today, so Master Ming
The emperor felt that Daliang needed Chen Xingxiu, but Mr. Ming also knew that the current emperor was too delicate in his thoughts, and his dictatorship was different from ordinary people. The emperor's character was of no harm to the people, but for those who had been with the emperor all year round
The ministers around me really accompany the emperor and the tiger. Today's
Although the emperor seems to trust Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi more, in fact, this trust also has a prerequisite. This prerequisite is that the status of Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi can reach a balance and restrict each other, so that the emperor can rest assured that the ministers around him will not
There will be situations where one’s superiority overwhelms the master, but
If one day, Chen Xingxiu's prestige in the court is higher than that of Wang Hongxi, and the power in Wang Hongxi's hands is gradually replaced by Chen Xingxiu, then Chen Xingxiu may be the only person in Daliang Chaotang at that time
In the court, the emperor with an arbitrary character would never allow this situation to happen.
Therefore, whether it is Ming Wenshi or others, as long as the people around Chen Xingxiu go higher, the sooner Prime Minister Chen Xingxiu will retire and return to his hometown. The same is true for Wang Hongxi. After Ming Yongshou met the young emperor today
I couldn't help but sigh, this man with a thousand
It seems that this is the case for the emperor who has good luck in the year, because today the emperor wants to promote Ming Wenshi. It is actually just a simple test. He is testing whether Chen Xingxiu is really ambitious. He is also testing the Chen family.
What is the relationship with the Ming family?
Although Mr. Ming did not explain the details, he still knew a little bit about his student. What Mr. Ming was worried about now was not whether his son would have a smooth career in the future. What he was worried about was whether Prime Minister Chen Xingxiu would go smoothly.
One day, I realized the emperor's intention and became disheartened. After all, having a passionate heart is the foundation of being a good official.
"What do you think Chen Xingxiu is thinking now?" Mr. Ming finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"The teacher's thoughts are as difficult to guess as the emperor's thoughts." Ming Yongshou whispered back.
"Haha, even if you guess it, you don't want to tell me. Let me ask you this, do you think Chen Xingxiu can be a good prime minister?"
"Yes." Ming Wenshi's answer was very affirmative.
"It's good if you can."
Ming Yongshou nodded slightly, and then walked out of the mausoleum with long strides. Ming Wenshi, Mingle You, and Ming Meng followed closely behind Ming Yongshou. Mingle You didn't know the relationship between his father and his grandfather.
He didn’t want to know what the conversation meant.
Tao, because in his mind, reading is a big deal. The more books he reads, the more truths he understands. But Mingleyou doesn't know how to behave in the world and official circles will never be written in books, because no one can
It describes the great changes in human relationships and sophistication.
…
The next day.
Today is a big day for the Ming Mansion, because their young master is finally leaving this house. In fact, the servants in the Ming Mansion have always been curious about why their master, young master, and young master are all scholars, and no one has appeared.
They are different, and each one seems to be more motivated to read than the other.
I won’t talk about it anymore. The young master was also ranked second in the imperial examination. Although he was not the top scholar, he was one of the thousands of students who stood out. Later he became the favorite disciple of Prime Minister Chen Xingxiu. Let’s not mention the size of his official position.
Based on these honors alone, you can be said to be the best among scholars, right?
Let’s talk about our young master, he is just like a reading machine. The servants in the mansion couldn’t help but want to tell the young master to go out and play. When they were young, many servants felt sorry for their masters, so
Consciously or unconsciously, I always want to make my own
The young master went out to see the new things outside, but he was rejected every time by the young master. Later, no one said this kind of thing anymore, but no matter what, the servants of the Ming Dynasty felt that if their young master could not get it
The top scorer in the imperial examination is really unfair.
So this time I heard that the young master was leaving the Ming Mansion to go on a study tour. Although the servants in the mansion were reluctant to leave, they were still happier. After all, it was better for the young master to go out and see the world than just reading in the mansion.
What's more, the fact that the servants of the Ming Dynasty care so much about the young master is all because of the young master's mother.
Whenever the slaves think of their young mistress, they can't help but give a thumbs up. That woman is really a virtuous and kind woman, as graceful as pure and elegant. She has a charming smile and a charming heart.
In the end, Ming Leyou left the Ming Mansion under the farewell of nearly thirty people from the Ming Mansion. When he left, he only took one maid, Ming Mengzhi.
Ming Yongshou stood at the gate of his house and looked at the backs of the two children. He couldn't help but blush. The servants of the Ming Mansion had served the old man in the Ming Mansion for so many years and had never seen the old man look like this. But today they
I saw that there is no old man who does not feel sorry for his children, even the old man Ming who dared to scold the prime minister in front of the emperor in the court.
"If father is reluctant to let go, I will just call you two back." Ming Wenshi said softly beside Ming Yongshou.
"You've already left, so there's no point in calling back." Ming Yongshou replied with a straight face.
"Aren't I afraid that you won't be able to let go?" Ming Wenshi smiled.
"Can't bear to part with it? How can this child not go out? He'd be fooled by reading a book!" For the first time, Ming Yongshou said such foolish words that he could make people look foolish by reading. If Ming Yongshou hadn't heard this before he met Li Longqian,
He would definitely open his mouth to curse people when he said this, but after getting to know Li Longqian, Mr. Ming felt that reading can really make people look stupid.
"Haha." Ming Wenshi smiled and then did not continue.
"I'm telling you, you can't interfere with my grandson's study tour privately. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be reluctant to leave when you go out, otherwise it will be in vain."
"I know." Ming Wenshi nodded slightly.
Ming Yongshou looked at Ming Wenshi and snorted coldly, then waved his sleeves and returned to the mansion.
Ming Wenshi looked at his father's back and smiled helplessly, and then walked back to the mansion. From today on, it seems that the young master's reading aloud will no longer be heard in the Ming mansion, and Ming Mengzhi's cause will no longer be heard.
The voice of Mr. Ming arguing with Mr. Ming because he assigned too many tasks to Ming Yongshou.
…
"Master, where are we going this time?" Ming Mengzhi also left the Ming Mansion for the first time, so the things on the opposite side were also very novel. He looked around and his big watery eyes never seemed to be idle.
"Who is she? Is the young master in love with someone's girl? She is leaving soon. I feel reluctant to leave and want to go over and take a look?" Ming Mengzhi looked at Ming Leyou with a slightly jealous tone and asked.
"Nonsense, what I want to see is a man." Mingleyou quickly explained.
"Man, it's possible that the young master has friends outside. I'm really curious about who this person is, and he can actually make my young master unable to let go." Ming Mengzhi's tone was obviously much more relaxed after he knew that it was not someone's girl.
"Why can't I have friends?" Mingleyou asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Do you have one?" Ming Mengzhi asked with a full smile.
Mingleyou looked at Ming Mengzhi, and then whispered: "He is my friend."
"Master, what kind of person is this friend of yours? Is he also a nerd who only knows how to read?"
"He." Mingleyou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "He is an interesting person."
"There are many interesting people, but there are really not many that my young master finds interesting." Ming Mengzhi replied thoughtfully.
"Nonsense, I think you are an interesting person."
"Why am I so interesting?" Ming Mengzhi asked with a smile.
"You..." Ming Leyou looked at Ming Mengzhi and was speechless. After a moment, his face turned red.
"Master, look at the candy man..."
Ming Mengzhi felt embarrassed, so he quickly pointed to the shops on the street and shouted.
"Mengzhi, we have all left the Ming Mansion, can you stop calling me young master?" Mingleyou looked at Ming Mengzhi and discussed.
"Then what should I call you?" Ming Mengzhi asked happily.
"You can call me Leyou, just like I call you Mengzhi." Mingleyou thought for a while and replied.
"Okay, Master." Ming Mengzhi agreed happily.
"I told you, don't call me young master." Mingleyou emphasized.
"I know..." Ming Mengzhi glanced at Xiaozui, then pointed at the candied haws in front and shouted: "Master, look, it's such a big candied haws."
"I told you, don't call me Master."
"I know... Master, look, the juggler is so amazing."
