As soon as the news of the re-grading of the scientific examination spread, the indignant voices of the candidates subsided. Those who had not been on the list had hope, and those who had been on the list had hope of improving their rankings. Only a few people who had been on the list were
The scholars in front were dissatisfied, but they were outnumbered and their voices were low, so they could not make any impact at all.
Since the scientific examination is re-marked, it proves that the undergraduate examiner has committed fraud, and the examiner must be punished.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate under the control of Chen Ying was originally the eyes and ears of the imperial court, responsible for supervising all officials, and acted as the vanguard of Xie Jin. The Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, the Ministry of Rites, and even many people who had old grudges against Xie Jin
They all agreed, forming a huge wave of voice.
The reason why Chen Ying spared no effort was because he knew that although Xie Jin had many political enemies, he was the backbone of the Prince's family. Even many officials of the Prince's family who usually did not like him as a person would go all out because of the reason of throwing rats away.
To protect him, what surprised Chen Ying was that no one said anything good to Xie Jin, no one.
Jie Jin seemed to be like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouted to beat him, but no one spoke for him.
The prince was at peace in the East Palace, as if he didn't know anything about this. After further inquiry, it was found that the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu, who was most likely to intercede on Xie Jin's behalf, actually went to the foot of Ci Lao Mountain for a summer vacation with his beautiful wife and concubine.
Already.
Chen Ying was puzzled by this. King Zhu Gaoxu of Han only thought that this matter was difficult. His eldest brother, the crown prince, had to abandon his carriage to protect his commander, so he was very proud. However, Chen Ying always felt that this phenomenon was not normal. Qin Hui also had three friends.
, Xie Jin is not a bad person, but he has a bad mouth, a little high eyes, and is a bit unsophisticated. No matter how much he attracts hatred, there won't be anyone who can help him.
Later, Chen Ying finally came to his senses and understood the intentions of the Prince faction. He hurriedly stopped the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate from continuing to write letters of impeachment, but it was already too late. The emperor's imperial desk was already covered with memorials to impeach Xie Jin.
These memorials listed a variety of crimes for Xie Jin. There were some things that were usually ignored and small things that fell into the hands of others. Now they were all exposed, and there were many things that were hidden. Anyway, the officials could hear about the memorials.
Paper, ink, pens, and inkstones were all provided by the public, and were all sent free of charge. As soon as Zhu Di opened the memorials, eight out of ten were about explaining Jin's affairs, and without exception, they all spoke ill of him.
Zhu Di immediately became vigilant. The chief minister of the cabinet, the most talented person in the Ming Dynasty, a figure who was usually praised by so many people, even if he was asked to obtain a scholar by the scientific examination, he violated the law and was entrusted by others, and he became the target of public criticism? He actually wrote a series of memorials.
Everyone shouted for murder? Zhu Di, like Zhu Yuanzhang, was a very suspicious master. All civil and military officials in the court cursed Jie Jin, which actually caused him to doubt the fairness of the scientific examination case.
At the foot of Ci Lao Mountain, the Yang Family Courtyard.
It's another good time of the year. Xia Xun and his family came here for vacation. Unlike the last time, the family has added a new child, and will continue to add more children soon. The family is very happy. This villa usually only has three households from the local area.
He was hired as a domestic servant to take care of the entire farmyard. The three families lived in the side courtyard and raised some chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry. Fortunately, the courtyard in Xiaxun was originally built in the style of mountain dwellings, so these three families were raised.
Poultry is more wild.
There are also young children in the three families. When the host family arrived, the children naturally played together. In the eyes of the children, the class distinction is not too serious. Although their parents have repeatedly told them not to offend the young lady,
The young master was angry, but he didn't feel awe and avoidance in front of them. This just made the young ladies and young masters of the Yang family feel at ease. Therefore, the children of the master and servant family played together all day long, catching dragonflies and fighting crickets.
Very happy.
Xia Xun didn't want his children to be industrious and unable to distinguish between grains. He agreed with this. It was a harmless thing anyway. Since Xia Xun agreed with it, Ming'er and Xie Xie didn't do anything for themselves. As for the other girls,
Most of them come from poor and small families, so they have no objection to this.
Although Xia Xun was enjoying the summer vacation in the countryside, he knew everything that happened in Beijing.
At this moment, Fei Hewei had just arrived and reported to him the latest developments in Beijing. Xia Xun just nodded and returned to the backyard without giving any instructions.
Under a clump of bamboo, there is a cherry tree not far away.
This cherry tree was planted by Xia Xun and Ming'er back then. Ming'er regarded it as a token of their love, so the servants in the mansion paid special attention to taking care of it. They loosened the soil, fertilized, caught insects, and pruned the branches. They worked hard. Today,
This cherry tree can bear abundant fruits every year. Because it is heavy and the breeze blows, the branches can only sway gently a few times. The branches of the cherry trees are filled with heavy red cherries, which looks terrible.
It is gratifying,
Ming'er was playing the harp under the bamboo. When she saw her husband approaching, she pressed her hands gently to silence the sound of the harp, and raised her beautiful eyes to look at her husband.
Xia Xun conveniently broke off a branch of cherries, took off his shoes, and sat down on the mat. He picked up the jar and washed the red cherries, then picked up one and brought it to Ming'er's mouth. Ming'er smiled sweetly and looked at her husband.
He ate the cherry with his hand and asked softly: "Seeing that my husband looks so peaceful, do you think Jie Jin is in danger?"
As soon as he said this, Si Yang, Si Xun, Si Yu and the other girls ran happily past the path in front. Ming'er saw them and hurriedly called out, "Be careful, don't fall."
Xia Xun said disapprovingly: "Don't worry about them, they are just children, tell them to run away."
Ming'er said: "These are all gravel roads. What if you fall and break your arms and legs? Girls should be polite and elegant..."
Xia Xun said: "It's always polite, but it's not tiring. When you grow up, you have to pay attention to everything. Don't live for others. When you are a child, just let them live happily. It doesn't matter if you scratch your skin.
"
Ming'er said angrily: "They are all strict fathers and loving mothers. How could a father like you dote on them more than me?"
Xia Xun laughed, then lay down on the mat and rested his head on Ming'er's thigh.
At this time, Siyang's girls ran over, and Yang Huaiyuan and two little guys from the servant's house also ran over. The two little guys' dark and red faces were much thicker than Yang Huaiyuan's. The three children
They are about the same age, both wearing crotchless pants, and leading a yellow puppy behind them.
Yang Huaiyuan was running when he saw a big rooster with brocade feathers and a high crest walking slowly out of the bamboo forest. It held its head high and its chest high, with a majestic look. It had a small, struggling and twisting insect in its mouth. The big rooster stretched its neck.
, and he swallowed the little bug into his stomach accurately.
The two country kids ignored it and walked over. Yang Huaiyuan looked down at the vagina under his crotch, but he was very frightened. He quickly covered his vagina with his hands and moved forward inch by inch, cautiously.
Nian Diao: "Don't eat my little insects, don't eat my little insects..."
As soon as he got around the rooster, he quickly ran away to the mat and screamed: "Mother, help!"
As Yang Huaiyuan ran, he used his two little hands to cover his butt and vagina. Ming'er saw the cute look of her baby son and couldn't help laughing, her thighs trembled, and she just closed her eyes.
Xia Xun was also awakened.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Xia Xun asked, Yang Huaiyuan jumped on his belly, lay in his arms, and said happily with lingering fear: "So mysterious! So mysterious!"
Ming'er laughed and gasped and told Xia Xun about her son's embarrassment. Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh and said: "My son is smart! If you go over there in a big way, maybe that big rooster will really eat you."
One bite!”
Ming'er said angrily: "Don't scare your son, come on, Huaiyuan, let mother hug you."
Yang Huaiyuan got up from his father's arms and got into his mother's arms. Ming'er rubbed his teapot-covered head and said softly: "Touch the fur, you won't be scared..."
Xia Xun crossed his legs and hummed: "Don't spoil him so much, man! It's better to be more adventurous. Don't be afraid, son. When you are older, I will teach you kung fu and learn martial arts well. Don't talk about a big cock."
, even a big tiger can be beaten to death!"
Yang Huaiyuan nodded repeatedly, and Ming'er said coquettishly: "How old is your son? He is not yet three years old. He has never seen a big rooster. It would be strange if he is not afraid."
When Yang Huaiyuan ran over, the little yellow-haired puppy also chased him, wagging its tail and standing behind him. This puppy was raised by a servant, because Yang Huaiyuan always fed it delicious food, so it was very knowledgeable.
Di has been following Yang Huaiyuan.
The two little guys ran over but Yang Huaiyuan followed them. They ran back again and stood at the intersection shouting: "Huaiyuan, let's go play!"
Yang Huaiyuan still had a playful temperament. When he heard this, he forgot about his fear just now and hurriedly got up from his mother's arms. Ming'er hurriedly ordered: "Tiezhu, Shuanzi, watch him."
The two children agreed obediently, and Ming'er slapped her son's butt and said, "Go ahead, don't be too naughty!"
Yang Huaiyuan agreed and said to the little yellow dog: "Mao Mao, let's go!"
Xia Xun rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "My silly son, this is a dog, not a cat!"
Yang Huaiyuan said with a sweet voice: "I'm not stupid. I know this is a puppy, but its name is Maomao."
Ming'er couldn't help laughing, but Xia Xun was speechless.
The two couples chatted and laughed for a while about their children, and then returned to Xie Jin. Xia Xun said: "Chen Ying didn't expect that we wouldn't accept the offer at all. It was too much and it was too much, so it was self-defeating. The emperor has issued an order to demote Jie Jin to the right of the Chief Secretary of Guangxi."
Councilor. Haha, when he was demoted to Lanzhou First Guard, why didn't he return to the temple and become the chief minister? Now that he has arrived in Guangxi, things are promising."
Ming'er sighed softly and said: "It's just that, judging from this person's temperament, he may feel uncomfortable when he is suddenly frustrated. He is originally a arrogant person who relies on his talents. This time, he has never made any mistakes. He feels unfair. I'm afraid
Not convinced. He may not understand my husband’s hard work.”
Xia Xun snorted softly and said in a deep voice: "An article is not like one plus one equals two, and there is absolutely no second answer. Articles that are not very different, it is the beholder who sees the benevolence and the wise. If you insist on it,
No matter how reasonable his choice is, it is not the case. Everyone looks at this thing from a different perspective. When people criticize him, it is precisely because they have expected this, and they can't explain it!
Furthermore, in the past North and South List case, Emperor Taizu posted all the articles about the candidates who were on the list and the candidates who failed to prove that the imperial court had not acted for personal gain. Even so, Liu Sanwu, the examiner, was not assigned to guard the border, and many examiners were killed.
Landed? Because this is no longer about the right and wrong of the matter itself, but about the court's choice and sacrifice in the face of gains and losses in terms of people's support! Xie Jin is no longer a child. If he can't even understand this,
He really doesn’t deserve to be in this high position.”
Ming'er frowned slightly and said: "It's just that although my husband deliberately stayed out of the matter to save him, he may not understand it. If he doesn't know his intention, he will inevitably feel resentful. If he can't send him out of the capital, should he send someone else?"
Secretly give him a copy of Cheng Yi and explain to him your painstaking efforts?"
Xia Xun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Talent and learning can be learned from people or books, but this worldly sophistication needs to be understood by himself. If everything is taken care of for him, he will never understand the meaning of being a human being.
The truth. Let him go. Even if he doesn't regret it now, he will understand many principles of life after encountering a few more nails. He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and his popularity is so mixed. Is it because others are jealous of his talents? I think,
It’s time to dampen his spirit.”
Ming'er sighed softly and said no more.
Xie Jin left Jinling City in despair and took a light car to Guangxi to take up his post.
Unfortunately, there were only a few senders. Only a few colleagues from the cabinet came to see him off. His in-law Hu Guang was dejected and looked listless. In the past, the chief minister of the cabinet had great glory. Today, it is so miserable. The prince did not say a word.
Xia Xun even went to the foot of Ci Lao Mountain to escape the summer heat. The two big figures he relied on as his backers didn't show any expression, which made him feel chilled.
With tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to several cabinet bachelors with different moods, and Xie Jin got on the road. Suddenly, he went from a dignitary in the decision-making center of the empire to a local official in a remote province. This life had ups and downs, and it was hard for him.
Instead of reflection and lessons, there is endless loss and sadness.
Sitting in the car, listening to the sound of wheels and watching the hurried journey, Xie Jin felt sad and couldn't help but chant: "The strings play the treasure of Su'e in the sky, and the wine pours over the clouds and the blue sea."
Qiong Cup. Sujun's brocade tent with tassels of seven treasures, I sit on my immortal platform that is ninety percent white jade. The tent is high, warm in spring and thin in the cold, and the gold thread is light enough to hold it in the palm. It forms a wing in the sky, and I don't envy the happiness of the world..., Chu
The Chinese fish in the garden are not weeping, and the Han Palace is reluctant to listen to the wild geese in Changmen. The autumn shadows in Changmen are sparse, and fireflies are flying on the pink screen. The dancing mat is covered with dust and the mirror is covered with dust. I am looking for a pair of shoes on the empty steps. The sun is approaching dusk in the green sky.
, I am so melancholy that you abandoned me in the middle of the road. My heart is as bright as the moon, and you don’t know it. I lean against the clouds and shed tears!"
Thinking that the emperor showed no mercy to him and that the prince and his auxiliary prince abandoned them like worn-out shoes, Xie Jin smacked the car board angrily and said bitterly: "People's hearts are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold! It's better to go back, it's better to go back and get rid of it."
Fan cage returns to nature!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Xie Jin went all the way south, speaking rudely and harboring resentment in his heart!"
Ji Gang, who had sent people to keep an eye on Xie Jin and all the people who interacted with him from the beginning, had some clues. He immediately entered the palace and presented Xie Jin's "Songs of Resentment" to the emperor, and also reported Xie Jin's complaints.
No matter who he was targeting, adding fuel to the fire was just a lie to Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di heard this, he became furious and scolded him: "This Jie Jin is really a good person! If he commits such a big thing, I will only demote him to be an official in Guangxi. To dampen his spirit, he actually dares to complain to me! He
Want to get rid of the cage and return to nature? It turns out that my court is just a cage climber, OK! OK, he wants to return to nature, and I will do what he wants! Go and give me an additional decree, change Guangxi to Annan, mediate Jin and move it to Jiaozhi
Chief Secretary, Right Senator!”
"According to the order!"
Ji Gang's eyebrows were full of joy and he left again in a hurry.
