Since Xu Qian arrived in the capital, it seemed that it had become much more lively. Before Xu Qian could get familiar with the environment, many distinguished guests had arrived.
Although he had thought that Zhejiang Jieyuan was quite popular, he didn't expect that it was so popular that he went to see Gui'e's brother and visited his senior brother Xie Pi. Both of them were people in the Hanlin Academy. Xie Pi listened
After Xu Qian's name, he was very enthusiastic about Xu Qian. He invited him to the mansion for a snack, and said that he would come and sit for more time when he had time.
We are all from Hangzhou, and Xu Qian is his father's disciple. Although the surname Xu is not very reliable, Xie Pi also understands that no matter whether the surname Xu is a blessing or a disaster in the future, he is actually connected to his Xie family.
It can no longer be separated for oneness.
As for Gui E's brother Gui Xiang, who was a Hanlin bachelor, was considered an outstanding figure in the capital. Gui Xiang was very happy with Xu Qian who was visiting and asked him to sit in the flower hall in the backyard. After asking about Xu Qian's situation, he wrinkled.
He said with a eyebrows: "You are Jieyuan. You will definitely be in high school in the future. Sooner or later, you will come out to be an official. It is not difficult to pass the Jinshi with your talent and knowledge. If you work behind closed doors, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to make progress. It is better to do this. The Hanlin Academy lacks the
If you are willing to surrender, I must recommend it on my behalf. What if you are young?"
Another person to recruit.
Hanlin Academy is a royal secretariat, with bachelors, compilers and editors. Shujishi are all the elites of the future Ming Dynasty. As long as the worst person does not make big mistakes, he will definitely be a chief official in the future and the Minister of the Secretariat.
, If he can get in there and strengthen his connections, it will be of great help to Xu Qian's future career.
What's more, they are all great scholars after all, and any one of them is a master of the exam. As long as they are willing to work hard, it will be of great help to their studies.
Gui Xiang threw out this bait, which made Xu Qian more moved than that Lu Chenshi.
Xu Qian just smiled slightly and said, "My dear Lord, the students understand, the students are stupid, I am afraid that the clerk will not be able to do the work. Besides, the students just want to take advantage of this skill to take a good rest and appreciate the customs and customs of the capital.
I'm really sorry."
After all, Gui Xiang is not as direct as Lu Song, and Xu Qian's refusal is very tactful.
A hint of disappointment flashed through Guixiang's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, how can I force it?"
Although it was disappointing, Xu Qian expressed enough respect to Gui Xiang in other aspects, and Gui Xiang's face gradually eased. Before leaving, he personally took a few books to give to Xu Qian and said to Xu Qian: "Actually, you are not here now.
Hanlin, I will enter sooner or later. Although Hanlin is a noble person, the editors are still human beings after all. Some people have their own preferences. These books are manuscripts compiled by Hanlin in recent years. You can understand the person by looking at the text.
Your talent should be able to understand the three flavors. Another book is some of my usual experiences. You can also read them. You can take them to remove the essence of them, which will eventually be beneficial."
These books may not be worth a penny to some people, but they have great significance to Xu Qian. Guixiang is a bachelor's degree after all, and after all, he is also a Jinshi. Having his notes and experiences will help him make a fuss. And Hanlin
The books compiled by the Academy can also lay a good foundation for him to join the Hanlin area in the future.
Xu Qian hurriedly thanked him sincerely and said to Guixiang: "The kindness of the great master is not something that students can repay."
Gui Xiang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's just a little effort. Please read these books well. If you finish reading it, it's okay for me to give you a few more books." He then smiled bitterly and said, "I am a Hanlin official, so I can only give you books."
.”
Xu Qian first saw him with a flying look, very famous teacher style, like a fairy-like famous scholar, but this sentence finally revealed Gui Xiang's heart. While he was speaking, Xu Qian could almost see a trace of flashing through his eyes.
Enjoy ambitions.
He couldn't help but think that no one of the Gui brothers is a good deal, and the Jiajing Dynasty will definitely have their place in the future.
After receiving the book, Xu Qian went home and never went out to walk around randomly. His temperament was difficult to sit still. Besides, the old man Xu Chang had to take Xu Han and Xu Yong to the duty every day, and he was at home every day.
Even if he talks to Xu Fu and others, or teaches Xu Chen to study, he is like a woman who has not left the house and does not go out of the door.
In Xu Chang's opinion, the so-called abnormality is a monster, and he always wants to ask the truth. However, it is now during the Cold War between father and son, so Xu Chang is not good at asking, so he asked Xu Fu to inquire quietly.
Xu Fu went to indirectly, but Xu Qian was very slick. When asked why he didn't go out, he raised his face and said, "Scholars should focus on academics. Reading is natural. Go out today, and you will be interested in having fun tomorrow.
What book?”
After all, no matter how righteous the words were, Xu Chang didn’t believe it, even Xu Fu, Xu Lu and others didn’t believe it. After all, everyone is not young and is not as easy to fool like Xu Chen.
But Xu Qian is at home every day, but Xu Chen is suffering. Xu Qian is not polite about teaching. He beats him when he should and scolds him when he should. He spends half an hour teaching him every day.
Chen explained the Four Books, and arranged the words and sentences in the Four Books for him to recite. If he memorized them well, he would become more serious next time and asked Xu Chen to recite more. However, if he could not memorize them well, the old man was in his class.
After hitting the iron ruler at the head with one foot, Xu Chen would become a good baby no matter how naughty he was.
At the same time, Xu Qian's every move naturally could not escape the gaze of some eyes.
The court meeting ended, and the emperor of Jiajing returned to the East Nuan Pavilion as usual. At this time, the weather gradually became colder. He was wearing a fox-haired coat and wearing cotton boots. The eunuch around him took off his cloak, and Huang Jin gave it to him.
He brought the hot water, but Jiajing waved his hand and said, "No need to cleanse the face. Put it down, I have something to ask."
Huang Jin quickly handed the copper basin to the eunuch beside him and bowed and said, "Please tell me your Majesty."
Jiajing frowned and said, "It's winter is coming, and these days and the court talks are always deficit. The annual income of the court is so nervous that he can't even pay the money for the Queen Mother to celebrate her birthday?
Is there something wrong with it?"
Huang Jin didn't dare to say anything, and hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, this year's annual income is indeed not good. The national treasury has always been used to being deficit, just the inner treasury..."
Jiajing frowned and said, "What's wrong with the inner warehouse?"
Huang Jin said: "I am afraid the inner treasury is very nervous."
Jiajing sighed and said, "Why is this? Didn't there be more than 1.3 million taels of silver last year? This year, the various expenses in the palace have been reduced a lot, so why did there be no silver?"
Emperor Jiajing had to be angry. At the beginning of the year, the palace organized a good birthday on Queen Mother Zhang. But now at the end of the year, the Queen Mother's birthday is here. Originally, the queen mother's most concerned about status.
As a result, after discussing with the ministers, these ministers stared at the eyes of the dead fish. Although they did not object, they cried and cried one by one. It was natural for them to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, but the emperor, the son of man.
As a result, the topic of the matter changed, and it was said that there were a lot of deficits here and how much money was missing there. The taxes had been increased to the limit, and it was difficult to get the money out.
The final result was a bit ridiculous. Originally, Jiajing wanted the treasury to take out some, but now they all reached out to ask for money from the treasury.
Jiajing was full of anger, but he did not get angry. He said something like nothing happened and planned to delay it. He could not allocate the silver from the treasury, and most of the money for celebrating the birthday must be paid from the treasury.
As a result, Huang Jin is good now. He told him directly that the inner treasury should not be thought about, because the inner treasury is probably more difficult than the state treasury.
Jiajing couldn't help but roar: "I usually say that filial piety rule the world, but now on the Queen Mother's birthday, they all become deaf and mute. It's great, but I've opened my eyes."
Huang Jin did not have the same coquettish skills as those ministers. He was so scared that his face looked like a dirt. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you know, last year, the annual income of the inner treasury in the palace was more than 1.7 million taels, but this is all
In previous years, the income of the inner treasury mainly came from the tribute of the imperial treasury and eunuchs from all over the country. However, this year, His Majesty ordered the abolition of the eunuchs in various places, so... so the annual income was greatly reduced, and it was cut in half. Therefore, although His Majesty reduced the cost.
, But this year's internal treasury is still too big, I... I will die."
Emperor Jiajing's face relaxed a little. After all, it was indeed Jiajing's decision to abolish the eunuchs in charge. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty was too small to even pay the annual salary of officials. In the end, rice, flour or treasure money was used instead.
It's even less. In addition to the border town, it can barely allocate a little. Although it still has to be owed every year, the imperial court has not paid any money for military households in other places. Sometimes it is necessary to use the internal treasury to make up for it.
The national treasury is insufficient, but this year, Emperor Jiajing's "good governance" made this situation worse. If you want to blame, you can only blame Jiajing himself. The ministers suggested that the garrisons in various places be abolished. Jiajing felt that this was a good thing. After all, he had just ascended the throne and was in government affairs.
I still didn't think about it carefully, but I directly issued an order, but I didn't expect that I would suffer the consequences now.
Jiajing sighed and said with a gloomy face: "Get up, if you don't have your business, I will naturally not blame you. But the empress dowager's birthday money has to think of a solution, yes, Xu Qian
What happened? I asked you to stare at him. What has he done recently?"
Huang Jin felt relieved and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Qian has not left the gate in recent days, but has only seen three people."
"Three people..." Jiajing narrowed his eyes and said, "Which three."
Huang Jin said: "One is Lu Song, the commander of the Jinyiwei, the other is Gui Xiang, the bachelor of Hanlin, and the other is Xie Pi, the editor of Hanlin."
