Chapter 56: Apprenticeship (please click on Member Week)
Xie Qian had to treat Xu Qian with caution. He pondered for a long time, making calculations while waiting for Xu Qian.
It is good that this person is talented, and he is a loyal and good man. If he is carefully polished, he can become something.
It's just that this person is young and appears to be arrogant. From Xie Qian's point of view, he feels that there seems to be something hidden behind this arrogance. But then he thought about it and couldn't help but smile. What can a weak-headed young man do?
What is the scheming factor? Could it be that my old eyesight is too dim?
While he was thinking about it, Xu Qian came again.
Xu Qian saluted Xie Qian with a smile and said, "I have seen the bachelor in my late life."
"Sit down." Xie Qian's face was very serious now. If someone were stuck with a piece of brown candy, he probably wouldn't be able to laugh.
Xu Qian sat down and said, "Isn't Bachelor Xie going to Yuyao? Why haven't you started yet? Let the students wait."
Xie Qian couldn't help blowing his gray beard and staring, saying: "When did I tell you to go to Yuyao? I asked you to come because I want to ask you something."
Xu Qian sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity that I still want to go to Yuyao with Xie Xie to see the world. I wonder what Xie Xie wants to ask?"
Xie Qian sighed: "I have been in office for twenty years, and now I have reached the age of forty. I am dying and dying..."
Xu Qian hurriedly said: "The old scholar lives a hundred years, why should he lament?"
Xie Qian glared at him and said seriously: "I know what you mean. Originally, it was my fault for arresting you and bringing you into the house. But why do you keep pestering me?"
Xu Qian glanced at Xie Qian and thought: "Why? Of course it's to get this tone back. The Xu family and his son only take advantage of others. When have they been bullied for no reason?" Xu Qian said sternly: "I just feel that
The courtyard of the Xie family is spacious and the food and wine are good, so I only want to stay for a few days. Bachelor Xie strongly invites the students to come into the house. How can the students go back empty-handed? It is better to stay for a few more days. Besides, the students will benefit a lot from the guidance of the bachelor here.
Qian, how can you leave so easily?"
This hint is very obvious. Xu Qian is here to receive guidance from Xie Qian. What is guidance? Teachers can teach students, elders can teach juniors, teachers, teachers. If Xie Qian can’t even understand this, this cabinet bachelor
It's been more than ten years in vain.
Xie Qian frowned and said: "I am already in my sixties. Although I can give you some advice and it will be of some benefit to you, after all, I am old and frail. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Do you have any intention in making this idea?
"
Xie Qian no longer had the patience to practice Tai Chi with Xu Qian, so he simply opened the window and spoke frankly.
Xu Qian said sternly: "Since Bachelor Xie asked, Wansheng should speak frankly. Wansheng asked Bachelor Xie for advice, firstly for academic reasons, and secondly, for fame. Although Wansheng is a loyal and good man, he is a humble servant after all.
My background has never been tolerated by the scholars. With Xie Xueshi's relationship, I still have a foothold in the scholars. Besides, Xie Xueshi will be resurrected and re-enter the cabinet soon..."
Xie Qian couldn't help but feel moved, and asked: "What did you say? You said I will get angry again?"
Xu Qian said: "Exactly."
Xie Qian squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Xu Qian in disbelief, and said, "How did you know?"
Xu Qian said confidently: "I dare not hide it from Xie Xie. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the world is indeed a sage, but Wan Sheng believes that there will be a huge shock in the capital. Last month, the emperor was provoked by the big gift.
All the officials were dissatisfied and requested the emperor, led by Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe, to take back the order. The emperor has humbly accepted the opinions of the officials."
Xie Qian stared at Xu Qian and said slowly: "Yes, since the emperor has humbly accepted the opinions of the officials and stopped mentioning the gift, why did you say that there was a shock in the capital?"
Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Actually, on the surface, this gift is between father and son. In fact, if you think about it more deeply, I'm afraid it's not that simple. After your Majesty ascended the throne, he had a new attitude. He killed many of the close ministers of the late emperor. From then on,
It can be seen that the current emperor must be a promising king who wants to control the world and accomplish great things."
Xie Qian sneered and said: "You are talking about these empty words? The emperor is a sage, everyone in the world knows it, there is no need for you to imitate it."
Xu Qian couldn't help but think: "Then I'll give you some dry ingredients." He said seriously: "But things are not that simple. The emperor certainly wants to do something, but the government is controlled by the cabinet, and the chief minister Yang Tinghe has a high prestige.
, supported by hundreds of officials, the emperor’s grand ceremony is actually to test the cabinet’s attitude.”
Xie Qian's eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked at Xu Qian with a bit of disbelief. If the person who said these words was an old man in the temple, maybe he wouldn't find it strange, but these words came from
It is a bit strange to say this from a weak young man.
Xu Qian continued: "But the cabinet quickly rejected the emperor's temptation. They spoke fiercely and refused to take a step back. Why does Xie Xueshi think this is?"
Xie Qian stroked his beard slowly and said: "I am a wandering cloud and wild crane. What does this temple matter have to do with me?"
Xu Qian wanted to laugh in his heart, "Idle clouds and wild cranes"? Didn't he also claim to want to be idle clouds and wild cranes? These things are all false. The more enthusiastic people are about fame and fortune, the better their words will sound. He asked and answered: "This is because the cabinet has already
I saw the emperor's intentions and knew that the emperor was using great rituals to consolidate the imperial power. Since the late emperor, all government affairs have been concentrated in the hands of the cabinet. Now the emperor wants to take back the power. The cabinet is definitely unwilling to compromise, so he mobilized all officials
Not only did they resolutely reject the emperor, but they also reprimanded the emperor severely, and some even had the audacity to ask the current emperor to call his biological father his uncle."
Xie Qian was touched, sighed, and said, "You have said so much, what do you really want to say?"
Xu Qian said: "It is true that the emperor's test failed, but the emperor is not the real emperor at the moment. The emperor is a person who has made great achievements. How can we just sit back and watch such a thing happen? Although Yang Tinghe is a veteran of three dynasties, the current emperor is not the late emperor. After this test,
, the emperor will definitely try his best to eliminate Yang Tinghe. If Yang Tinghe collapses, all his party members in the court will probably be dismissed. And Yang Tinghe has always had a high prestige in the court. How can the emperor alone maintain the situation? Therefore, it must be
It is necessary to have a veteran minister who is recognized among the officials to join the cabinet and take charge of the overall situation. In view of the late life, Bachelor Xie has experienced four dynasties, and his qualifications are unmatched. He is supported by all officials. As soon as Yang Tinghe's cabinet is completed, the imperial edict will arrive as soon as possible.
Hangzhou, please thank Bachelor to come to Beijing immediately and take charge of the overall situation."
When Xu Qian said this, Xie Qian's expression suddenly changed.
In fact, he had anticipated these things. His decades of official career had already allowed him to see the inside story behind the farces in the capital. He also knew that a great uproar was brewing. Starting from the emperor's proposal of the gift, the palace
He and the cabinet have reached the point of incompatibility. This is by no means a so-called family dispute between father and son. Behind this turbulent situation, it is clearly a drama of power struggle.
He originally thought that although there were many smart people in the world, how many of them could see through the inside story? But now, a weak-headed young man talked about it and actually exposed it directly.
Xie Qian took a breath, looked Xu Qian up and said, "How did you guess it?"
Xu Qian said: "My father used to work in the county government, and occasionally he would bring some newspapers here. When he was young and had nothing to do, he would always read the newspapers to see what was going on in the DPRK."
"How can you guess so many things just by reading the newspaper?" Xie Qian looked at Xu Qian as if he were a monster.
Xu Qian said: "This is not a guess, but an analysis. Although there is always singing and dancing in the Di newspaper, if you look carefully, you can always find some clues. Wansheng thought that in three years at most, Bachelor Xie would be able to take charge of the cabinet. Wansheng would not
Talent, please thank the bachelor for not giving it up and keeping it behind the wall."
When he said this, he felt that the heat was almost over, so he stood up from his chair, knelt down, and bowed respectfully to Xie Qian.
