Wanli Xinming

Chapter 107 Xu Yuanchun

The other three secretaries took a sigh of relief when they heard Yu Menglin's words.Lei Yingzhi asked: "Cai Guoxi and Xu Ge's hometown have a big feud, and the imperial court has let him work in Songjiang? Could it be that the imperial court really wants to attack the Xu family?"

Yu Menglin pointed to his head and said to Lei Yingzhi, "Hey, Brother Yuanshu has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than half a year. He's still a person who likes to inquire, but he hasn't made any progress."

When Lei Yingzhi heard this, his face turned slightly red.He smiled and said, "Yu only knows how to write articles. He has read books for half his life. Except when he entered school, he has never been to a county government office. How can he see through such a thing?"

They cupped their hands and smiled and said, "Brother Boxiang gives some pointers to Yu Yi or two." Zhang Guofu and Wu Zhongqian also smiled and said, "Brother Boxiang, talk about it."

Yu Menglin ate a handful of them, feeling a little proud.He couldn't help but point out Jiang Shandao: "This top figure's trick is like an antelope hanging its horns, and this taste is beyond poetry. If the emperor wants to accuse the Xu family immediately, Cai Guoxi is not a soldier, but a prefect - he didn't do it before. Songjiang prefect?"

When Zhang Guofu and Wu Zhongqian heard it, they suddenly realized that they nodded and said yes.Lei Yingzhi scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, looked at Yu Menglin and said bluntly, "I don't understand."

Yu Menglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed to heaven: "Your Majesty, this is a warning to the Xu family, see if the Xu family knows what to do - if the Xu family can be restrained, Cai Guoxi will always be on guard; if you are shameless, then transfer to the prefect. !do you understand?"

Only then did Lei Yingzhi understand, and he worriedly said: "It seems that I am not suitable for an official position.

Wu Zhongqian listened and smiled: "Brother Yuanshu is too modest. This year's palace exam questions are not easy. Those who don't know the world affairs will not be able to answer them."

Lei Yingzhi said with a smile: "Where, I'm just a fool who has a chance to get something. Because for the past two years, I have been watching the court as government, not vain and prose, but dedicated to real government - so, before the palace test, I found the "Shepherd's Order". , "Reporting for Politics and Good News" and other books, and I asked someone to ask for some transcripts of the memorial and Di Bao to read it -- or I must catch the blind."

When the other three heard it, they looked at each other first, then all laughed, and cupped their hands together: "With the same back, with the same back. Haha!"

It turned out that in the imperial examination of the Armed Forces Division, Zhu Yijun produced [-] sheets of paper, which provided various data and related materials about the epidemic in a county in northern Zhili this year.

The answer sheet requirements are relatively simple, that is, to ask the tributes who participated in the palace exam to write a memorial according to the content of the materials, and then write a disaster relief plan-similar to the combination of the later generations of the essay and the application essay writing test. half.

However, this palace exam is only a ranking, and it does not reject candidates.Zhu Yijun asked this kind of question, the purpose is still to send a signal to Shilin, drizzle, and pave the way for the reform of the imperial examination selection system in the future.

What Lei Yingzhi and others didn't know was that for the jinshi who could enter the Hanlin, it was equally important, or even more important, to understand politics and practice.Therefore, the rankings given by Zhu Yijun to these top ten scholars are still based on the ranking of the general examination, and the results of the palace examination are only for reference.

These people were talking lively, and suddenly someone coughed at the door.The person who came in was wearing a fourth-grade crimson official robe and scolded: "Have you finished sorting out the secretariat's procedures for handling documents, but you are laughing and laughing here?!"

Lei Yingzhi turned his head and saw that it was their immediate boss, Wang Tingzhan, who had been transferred from Taipu Si Shaoqing to the director of the Secretariat of the Attendant Office.

Seeing him getting angry, these little Hanlins immediately grabbed their tails and returned to their seats to continue working.Wang Tingzhan asked Yu Menglin to come and read the regulations they had prepared, opened the door and went out.

At this time in Huating County, in the beautiful Retreat Garden, the rich autumn colors have been rendered among the pavilions and pavilions.

Xu Yuanchun, who has completely put down his studies, went boating on the Yanglian Lake covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, holding a luxurious fishing rod produced by Rishenglong in Suzhou, and practicing the fishing skills contained in the "Fishing Classic" produced by Qingliu Bookstore.

For more than half a year, because Xu Jie loved this eldest grandson the most, the family did not dare to mention the word "reading" in front of him.Xu Jie also spoke a long time ago, asking Xu Yuanchun to do what he wanted.

Therefore, Xu Yuanchun, who has been studying and making progress, finally made up for the shortcomings of his childhood in the second year of Wanli. He wanted to catch fish and shrimps happily since he was a child, and finally he can fish without restrictions.

Like playing mahjong, fishing can be addictive.What's more, the "Fishing Classic" that is circulating in the market now divides the fishing method, fishing tackle and bait, and the realm of fishing is divided into eight grades. The middle and lower three tiers.

This is well-versed in luxury marketing routines, and there is no reason to trap those rich and idle people? ——In just one year, fishing has kept pace with Mahjong around Nanjing, and has become a new hobby for the rich.

When it comes to fishing tackle, Sunrise's products far exceed those of its peers.There are luxurious fishing rods specially designed for businessmen wrapped in gold and inlaid with treasures; there are also elegant rods made for literati and calligraphers, engraving famous calligraphy and works of flowers, plants, fish and insects.

The most back-to-basics is also a top-level luxury product. It uses broken gemstones and takes its natural color to make a set of calligraphy and painting poles on selected gold silk bamboo joints. It is retractable and can be held in the hand when not fishing. indescribable.At this time, what Xu Yuanchun was holding in his hand was a limited edition top-quality fishing rod worth 900 taels, and there were only ten of them in the whole country.

Although he was holding a limited edition fishing rod in his hand, what appeared in front of his eyes was his grandfather whom he had admired immensely since he was a child. When he heard about his encounter in the capital, his face was full of fear and tears.

After learning that his family name was among the top three but was crossed out by the emperor's pen, although Xu Yuanchun did not stand up, he still refused the persuasion of his family and resolutely gave up his career.

To be honest, Xu Yuanchun, who is fishing, feels that he has not gone crazy yet, and already has a big heart inherited from the old Xu family.

Although the attitude of the emperor gave the Xu family a heavy blow, the former prime minister, who had many melons and disciples, was not one who closed his eyes and waited for death.Before Xu Yuanchun returned home, letters came one after another from the north and south of the empire, and letters of replies were sent out from the Retreat Garden.

When Xu Yuanchun returned to Songjiang, the public opinion from the officialdom to the public opinion was already full of excitement.Sympathizing with Xu Yuanchun, and taking Xu Jie's power to set things right but being humiliated for no reason, it has been uproar since the meeting, and gradually spread to the capital officialdom.

However, what disappointed Xu Jie the most and was extremely frustrated was his most proud student, Zhang Juzheng, who was currently serving as Yuan Fu of the Empire.For more than half a year, not only did he not say a word, but he also suppressed Kedao in the capital, preventing Xu Jie's few remaining minions from speaking in the imperial court.

So, Xu Yuanchun, who had no hope of turning over and couldn't go out and let people watch jokes, fell in love with fishing.This is the hobby of enjoying loneliness alone, and it suits him best.The name Zhang Juzheng has become a taboo in the Xu residence.

In the new era of the Xu family, apart from the word "rank", the original characters and homophones such as "Juzheng, Shuda, Jiangling" have been banned altogether.In the Xu family, all servants with the original surname Zhang were fired.Visitors with the surname Zhang will not be accepted.

But what I never expected was that the emperor had not let go of the old Xu family who humiliated and swallowed the bitter fruit of Xu Yuanchun's dismissal.Ten days ago, a visitor said that the court intends to revive Cai Guoxi, who was dismissed from office, and his position is still the military preparation road, and the Songjiang government military preparation road!
Old Xu Jie finally got out of anger. Xu Yuanchun heard that his grandfather dropped the teacup, and pushed his favorite set of Chenghua Dou Cai to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

However, Xu Yuanchun thought desperately - these are useless.From the news of Cai Guoxi's reinstatement, it can be seen that the retreat garden has been closed, and it can be seen that the Xu family's building has made a creaking sound, and the collapse is near.

The sight of the twilight autumn and the melancholy filled with the family change in front of him made Xu Yuanchun's eyes burst into tears again.Just now, his own father Xu Fan came to call him, saying that he was at home to discuss matters, but Xu Yuanchun refused.

He told his father that the noose had been wrapped around the Xu family's neck, and now there is only one plan. After retiring from the fields, they may be able to save the family.If there is more struggle, I am afraid that the disaster will extend to the descendants and the ancestors will not be able to eat blood.

He cried and said to Xu Fan: "The fields at home are connected with fields, covering an area of ​​nearly ten thousand hectares, ranking first in Songjiang, and half of Huating. Even if the emperor's mind is changed this time, what will happen in ten or twenty years? Attack, I’m afraid it’s not using Cai Guoxi to warn you like today, but directly breaking down the house! Father, the emperor is too young, and the Xu family is too old and too big!”

　Well, you may have noticed that these chapters of Lao Mo are a bit scattered - the actual situation is that Lao Mo wrapped up the thread of the first volume in Chapter [-] "Recruiting", and he had to fast forward the time. Open the second volume.But I found two problems: First, because it was too cute and new, the name of the first volume of Laomo was too early. After it was put on the shelves, the starting point was automatically divided into volumes for me, and it was counted as the second volume for me after the testimonials were put on the shelves. , I will not change.The second is that Lao Mo only made the outline of the first volume, and the outline of the second volume has not yet started. He also found that several things such as the hospital and examinations were not written, so he had to write a few more chapters.In the past two days, Lao Mo has continued to work overtime. These are written in a hurry. There are many mistakes. I hope you will continue to give me your advice.Thanks again to the book friends who pointed out the problem.

　　Also: This chapter was originally written from the perspective of Cai Guoxi, but after thinking about it in depth, Cai Guoxi and Xu Jiedou did not conform to the political laws, so it was cut from the perspective of Xu Yuanchun.

　　Finally: I sincerely thank you for your support, Lao Mo, and the monthly pass has reached the top 85 in the history category, and is now [-].I hope you will continue to support us.
