In Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin looked at an official letter carefully. After reading it, his face darkened. The official letter closed with a "snap" and said: "Lu Shangshu, the emperor took over Annan County and appointed officials to govern it, and also issued an imperial edict to visit the Ming Dynasty."
Erudite, virtuous and upright people are sent to the capital for promotion, and Annan scholars are promoted to the Imperial Academy to study. This is to impart royal education and win the hearts of Annan people. You should understand it 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!"
Jie 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 a person like this who is not very knowledgeable and has no skills, I have something to say, and 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 hollow bellies!" The little eunuch serving in Wenyuan Pavilion was also well-read and literate. Hearing this, he couldn't help but
When he started laughing, someone walked in. He 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 Guangda is here. Sit down quickly."
The man who came in was also a bachelor of the cabinet, named Hu Guang, who was the number one scholar in the second year of Jianwen. Among the number one, second and third overall picks that year, Hu Guang should have been the second best, but because Wang Gen, who was supposed to be the number one, had a different name,
Ji Li was demoted one level by Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen 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 Xie Jin.
.
Although in terms of personal affairs and ethics, Hu Guang is a bit of a wallflower and a speculator, but he does have talents and learning. He is cautious and thoughtful. He has settled many injustices and paid attention to the sufferings of the people. In college
During his tenure as a scholar, 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 marching to the north, 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. Therefore, 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 be scolded 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 it got out and reached Lu Zhen's ears, it became an intractable rift. Why bother making enemies like this? You, when will you get rid of this 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. Master Ji Gangji has taken two new concubines. They are twin sisters. They are very beautiful and are very favored by Master 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, be ingratiated with 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 and you and I have different cultural and military backgrounds, 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 solemnly: "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? Humph! Who is he?" Then Xie Jin followed. He kept talking a lot of truths, which made Hu Guang smile bitterly. He had to hand over his hands and say, "Okay, okay, sir, stop talking. Why don't I admit defeat? Okay, you're busy, I'll leave first." Let’s have a drink together tonight.”
Jie Jin was still angry and waved his hand and said: "I'm not going. 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 has another ..., Now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, I have to sort out the affairs of the "Yongle Dadian" and report 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 didn't 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, "Young Master Ge is a literary star, and the poems he writes must be excellent. I wonder how you plan to write them if you want to send 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 took a selfie and laughed. The little waiter chewed it carefully and couldn't help laughing.
Xia Xun, who was smiling for a while, stepped in. Seeing Jin Jin laughing so loudly, 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 residence. This was not the first time they had met. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly left his seat and stood up. He 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 Wenyuan Pavilion. The two of them walked slowly under the palace corridor. The autumn sun half shone on them, making them warm.
Xie Jin told Xia Xun what had just happened as a joke, and Xia Xun felt it was inappropriate. Whether it was 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 relied on his talent and arrogance, and he was unreasonable and unforgiving. He indeed offended too many colleagues.
Xia Xun vaguely remembered that in history, there was not only one official who suffered the same fate as Xie Jin. Most of the other officials were helped by others. Regardless of whether they could be rescued, at least these people took care of them and they did not suffer much in prison. But this time
However, few people pay attention to Xie Jin. It must be said that although his talent is outstanding, he is indeed a failure in this aspect of life.
Just as Xia Xun was about to give him a few words of advice, a man in front of him walked forward 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 chuckled, looked at Xia Xun and said, "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, but you look better now."
Xia Xun smiled and said: "His Royal Highness accompanied me on the expedition to Mobei, and the hard work has been fruitful. After all this hard work, I have become 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 emergency landing in Arutai. It seems that he has made great achievements, but in fact, he has nothing to do with it.
It was because of his father, the emperor, that the three armies sacrificed their lives and fought tooth and nail for their service. When my father went on the northern expedition, what he was most worried about was the war situation in the Western Regions. By a stroke of luck, Tamerlane died of illness, thus avoiding a major dispute.
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? Haha! Haha..."
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 in the west of the city.
Tiance guards the 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, I will...
"
Before he could finish speaking, a young eunuch came over from behind him. Seeing Xia Xun from a distance, he shouted loudly: "My lord, you are here. Your Majesty has ordered your servants to invite the Duke into the palace to discuss matters."
I rushed to the Duke's mansion and heard that the Duke had gone to the Dongji Work Factory. The servant rushed to the godfather's place, but 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 showing off proudly just now, when he heard that Xia Xun was also involved in the meeting called by his father.
Son, he didn't realize 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 the palace recognizes their godfather based on 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 his successor.
A little yellow man who serves the emperor.
Mu Si 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!”
