Chapter 432 The Seat in Wenyuan Pavilion

The eunuch who passed the decree came suddenly and left in a hurry. He disappeared in the imperial hospital without giving Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan a chance to inquire.

Hey!
Bang!

Two echoes sounded in the single ward of the high-end and quiet Tai Hospital.

The sigh came from Zhai Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Empire, who was lying on the hospital bed.

The clanging sound was made by the newly promoted imperial upstart Ren Hengtai, who entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, a bachelor, and a minister.

When the eunuch who passed the decree disappeared from the ward, Ren Hengtai, the upstart of the empire, went limp and sat down on the ground with a sad face.

Ren Hengtai turned his head to look at Zhai Shan who was sighing, and said with a sad face: "Troublesome autumn! Troubled autumn! You must have seen it, I am going to be blamed!"

"Ah..." Zhai Shan opened his mouth, moved his eyes, sighed again in embarrassment, and then changed his mouth: "Yes, yes, yes!

The imperial court wants to reform and implement new policies. At this time, the heavy responsibility is entrusted with trust, and it is also a heavy burden. I understand Ren Ge's sad face..."

In the end, Zhai Shan didn't know what he was talking about anymore, he only knew that at this time, he should cooperate with the newly promoted Honorable Ren to answer the conversation.

But Zhai Shan's eyes hide deep envy.

Ren Court?

Ren Hengtai frowned, looked sideways at Zhai Shan who had sat up on the hospital bed at some point, and a gleam of understanding flashed in his eyes.

He pressed his palms on the chair and stood up slowly, then turned and sat down again.

He took a deep breath and sighed: "If you look at the military formation, I am the vanguard, and I will go and never return. Your Majesty has said that Zhai Butang and Ru Butang are also loyal ministers of the country. This old man must be for Zhai Butang. , The former pawn of the Ru Department, just to inquire about the way forward for the New Deal."

This crying old man also wants to suffer!

Zhai Shan's heart was full of tears, but his face continued to cooperate with Ren Hengtai all the time, showing sadness and worry.

"His Royal Highness recalled Gao Chunfeng to Beijing to report on his duties. It is a sword pointing at the New Deal, with the heart and learning as the work. Gao Chunfeng and others regard it as branches and leaves, and jointly participate in the reform.

The New Deal is imminent, Ren Ge has been an official in the court for many years, and after many years of ministerial office, His Majesty issued an order today, and Ren Ge will be the head of the New Deal, in charge of general innovation.

There are many constraints during this period, and it takes a long time to work hard if you want to come to Ren Ge.The country and society are in the front, and the people of the world are in the back. Ren Ge should put his body first, and all affairs can be in the hands of Ren Ge alone. "

Zhai Shan spoke in a worried and considerate manner, but between his words, he already had the idea of ​​thanking guests behind closed doors.

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials just wanted to stay alone in this single ward of the Imperial Hospital full of strange smells.

Gao Chunfeng is Gao Yangzhi.

The youngest frontier official in the empire who returned to Beijing today with a string of titles.

Ren Hengtai looked at Zhai Shan on the hospital bed indifferently, and stood up with his robe rolled up: "The spring breeze is coming to Beijing, and the new policy is fierce. It really is a beautiful flower group and riches. The only thing is that Zhai Butang is here, away from the troubles, which is enviable." Endless."

Change!
Let's change seats!

Zhai Shan roared wildly in his heart, but his face was calm and calm: "Ge Ren will go back to rest early, and there may be some changes in the court tomorrow."

Ren Hengtai cupped his hands: "Zhai Butang rests."

The two of them hummed tacitly at the same time, and then they were on their own, and they didn't look at each other again.

Zhai Shan lay down, Ren Hengtai went out of the private room, beckoned for a white coat and closed the door.

When the newly promoted imperial upstart walked out of the ward, the two burly drug boys at the door, who could really be the vanguard of the army, had already leaned against the corner, closed their eyes and fell asleep drowsily.

"Governor Ren?"

"Elder Ren Ge..."

"Elder Ren Ge!"

Standing outside the door of the ward, Ren Hengtai murmured in a low voice three times in succession, and at last two eyebrows were raised, with a hint of joy on his face, he raised his eyebrows: "Hey!"

Ren Hengtai had forgotten to suppress this sound, and his voice became louder in vain.

"who!"

The drug boy who was resting against the corner closed his eyes and stood up, drinking in a low voice.

Ren Hengtai looked back, shook his robe, and quickly disappeared into the night.

……

Inside the imperial city, there are temples on the left and shrines on the right.

Gao Yangzhi, who was brought into the altar of the country, did not get what he expected. Once he returned to Beijing, he would be able to talk to the emperor's grandson about the new measures of official recruitment over the years.

The grandson will enter the palace to answer all the things that happened in the city today.

At this time, the foreign ministers also remained unchanged after entering the Meridian Gate.

Gao Yangzhi was led into the Sheji Altar by the eunuchs in the palace, and a room facing the Sheji Altar was lit up early.

After entering the room, Gao Yangzhi glanced around and saw that the bed, official robes, and toiletries were all ready, then turned to look at the eunuch and the two palace maids who were obviously preparing to wait for him to wash.

"I'm sorry to bother you all, I've been in Cochin for a long time, and I'm used to washing and taking care of myself, everyone please go back."

This is a celebrity in the palace, and his relatives are grand.

Seeing Gao Yangzhi speaking so politely, the eunuchs and maids didn't dare to stick to the rules, so they left the room after saluting, and closed the room by the way.

There was no one around for an instant.

Gao Yangzhi heard the footsteps outside the house fading away, and finally disappeared, then walked to the window, pushed the window open, and propped it up on a straight pole.

Outside the window, in the hazy night, is the somewhat illusory silhouette of the Sheji Altar, standing majestically in the silence.

Looking at the Sheji Altar outside the window, this building that enshrines the heaven and the earth is continuously enlarged and stretched in Gao Yangzhi's pupils.

A silent earthquake occurred in Gao Yangzhi's body.

It wasn't until he was sweating profusely, stretched out his hands limply all over his body, and grasped the window sill tightly with his sweaty hands, did he let out a long breath of foul breath.

Everyone in the court knew that he was the youngest and most promising frontier official in Ming Dynasty.Today, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he even told the court clearly that he would be the main force in the vanguard of the reformation of the Ming Dynasty.

But no one knew that Gao Yangzhi still had the identity of a secret guard.

It is hidden in the darkest place of the empire, in the deepest place.

At the moment when he was formally appointed by the imperial court as the chief envoy of Jiaozhi Road, a secret letter from Yingtian City, the capital, was sent.

All the foundations about him have been erased and will not be known by anyone.

This should have been a good thing, he could be the youngest official of the Ming Dynasty in an upright manner.However, Gao Yangzhi was even more aware that this was what bound him tightly in the most secret file of the dark guard.

Throughout his life, perhaps he will be the biggest secret of the dark guard.

It is impossible for the emperor to allow himself to enter the palace and live in the Altar of Sheji after returning to Beijing.

All of this must have been done by His Highness the Emperor Taisun.

The word Sheji has many strokes.

However, what is more important is the heavy weight behind the word "Saji", which is so heavy that no one can breathe on their own.

All the privileges and graces I have received today are for the sake of the community.And standing here at this moment, watching Sheji, is more like a warning.

"Tomorrow at dawn, enter Wenyuan Pavilion, and then go to Huagai Palace to participate in government affairs."

At some point, Tian Mai appeared in the house, standing where the lights were blocked.

Gao Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief again, and the last trace of worry in his heart completely disappeared.

He turned around and looked at Tian Mai, who was not illuminated by the lights, with a slight smile on his face: "The court is empty, shouldn't we fill in the official vacancies first?"

Tian Mai was expressionless: "Uncle Gao, this is state affairs, not something I can speculate on my own, and I will know when Fang Bo enters the court tomorrow."

Gao Yangzhi was silent for a moment, quietly looked at Tian Mai standing in front of him, and sighed softly: "It's a little bit different."

"Fang Bo's archives in the secret guard have been completely destroyed. This is His Highness's grace. Since then, Fang Bo has nothing to do with my secret guard, only the upper and lower ranks in the court." Tian Mai replied calmly and indifferently as usual. with.

Gao Yangzhi also restrained his expression, and said lightly: "Really?"

He chuckled lightly.

Tian Mai raised his eyes and looked at Gao Yangzhi, and said in a low voice: "Ren Hengtai, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and Minister of Rites, has been ordered by His Majesty to enter Wenyuan Pavilion today to handle the New Deal. Wenyuan Pavilion... will be very busy in the future. Fang Bo rested earlier, and I will retire as an official."

Tian Mai cupped his hands, dropped a few words in an erratic voice, and disappeared from Gao Yangzhi's eyes in a trance.

But he still said something he shouldn't have said after all.

A smile appeared on Gao Yangzhi's face, looking at the place where Tian Mai stayed last, he sighed again: "It's really a birth."

……

And even the next day.

Before dawn, the lights in the Sheji Altar were lit again.

Washed and dressed, Gao Yangzhi looked at the official robe prepared by the palace that fit his figure incomparably in the bronze mirror. Under his calm eyes, there were some strange slight movements.

After leaving the Sheji altar, Gao Yangzhi arrived in front of the Meridian Gate.

I thought I would be the earliest Gao Yangzhi, but I saw a young official in a green robe on the east side of the imperial road, leading two officials, carrying boxes of memorials, rushing to the palace .

Gao Yangzhi didn't recognize the young green-robed official, but Wang Xinling recognized the senior in front of him who the disciples of Xinxue admired the most.

"Followers pay respects to Senior Senior."

Wang Xinling motioned to the two officials of the General Administration Office to continue carrying the memorial to Wenyuan Pavilion, while he waved his robe and bowed to Gao Yangzhi.

Gao Yangzhi turned his eyes, and he heard the other party's self-reported family name.With eyes blurred, Gao Yangzhi spoke slowly: "I... remember you, you always liked to go to Mr. Xie with Xiaobai to ask for advice."

Wang Xinling showed a smile on his face, nodded his head and said: "Senior remembers clearly. I have been away from senior for many years. I hear about senior's administration in Jiaozhi Dao every day. I admire him for a long time. I heard that senior returned to Beijing yesterday, but I don't know why. I can see you from time to time, but I don’t want to see the senior right now.”

Gao Yangzhi was silent for a while, and said: "In the future, we can often get together. Are you going to deliver the memorial to Wenyuan Pavilion? Let's go together."

While speaking, Gao Yangzhi turned his head and gestured towards the Meridian Gate.

Wang Xinling nodded and followed Gao Yangzhi step by step, but his face could not conceal the joy when he saw his idol.

The twilight before dawn reflected on the two of them.

Gao Yangzhi, who was walking in front, was unwilling to speak, while Wang Xinling, who was following behind, did not dare to speak.

The two passed through the Meridian Gate, without having to cross the Inner Five Dragon Bridge to go to the Three Great Halls, turned eastward to the Zuoshun Gate, and entered Wenyuan Pavilion.

At this moment in Wenyuan Pavilion, the servants of the Zhidian Supervisor in the palace had finished sweeping Wenyuan Pavilion, and were bowing their heads and retreating with their sweeping utensils in hand.

The ladies of the palace sent incense burners and tea to the rooms, and they had to send refreshments to the main hall for Xie Xueshi and others.

The two people they met in front of the Meridian Gate passed through the Zuoshun Gate, and Wang Xinling led the way in front of them.

Wang Xinling led Gao Yangzhi into the main hall, to the inner room on the east side.

"Sir, Senior Gao is here."

After entering Wenyuan Pavilion, Gao Yangzhi has been carefully looking at everything around him.

This was his first time walking here, but he felt in his heart for no reason that he would appear here for a long time to come.

But at this moment, in Wenyuan Pavilion, sitting on the couch by the window after the desk, it is naturally Xie Jin, a scholar of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, who is walking in the Wenhua Palace, and is also the teacher of the disciples of Xinxue all over the world.

On the opposite side of Xie Jin is Ren Hengtai, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and Minister of Rites.

Another young official in a green robe stood beside Xie Jin.

Gao Yangzhi recognized the other party, it was Bai Yuxiu whom Wang Xinling mentioned just now.

Following Wang Xinling's opening, the three people in Wenyuan Pavilion raised or turned their heads at the same time, looking at Gao Yangzhi who came in behind him.

A look of relief appeared on Xie Jin's face.

Bai Yuxiu's eyes glowed with the brilliance of being able to see an idol.

Ren Hengtai, who turned his head, left from the couch, with wide sleeves, and waved towards the position he made.

"I've heard for a long time that I'm the youngest Fang Bo, and I finally got to see him today. I just think that I really should have more such talented ministers!"

Ren Hengtai smiled all over his face, trying to give people a look of being blissed with spring breeze, and the gesture when he spoke was clearly to give up his original position to Gao Yangzhi.

With a subtle smile on his face, Gao Yangzhi arched his hands and saluted Ren Hengtai, and then saluted Xie Jin.

"The lower official has met Elder Ren Ge."

"Students meet sir."

After two voices with completely different meanings, Gao Yangzhi raised his head, his posture still low: "Ren Ge has been an official for many years, and he is the first senior in the examination room to be awarded the number one scholar archway in my dynasty. Officials have only been in the officialdom for a few years, and they are afraid of making mistakes every day, and in the future, I hope that Mr. Ren Ge will not hesitate to point and correct."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yangzhi clasped his hands to Bai Yuxiu again and said, "Please move a stool."

Ren Hengtai's eyes flickered twice, looking at the young upstart of the empire, the youngest feudal official in front of him, who refused so straightforwardly and gave in willingly, his heart was filled with emotion for a moment.

He couldn't help but look sideways at Xie Jin who was beside him.

Xie Jin still had the same posture of sitting as firmly as a mountain, with that smile from the Imperial Academy on his face.

Ren Hengtai knew very well that he was chosen by the emperor as the head of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he was the first court official to enter Wenyuan Pavilion as a scholar and minister, obviously because he wanted to lead the court.

Although Xie Jin was not a university scholar or a minister, he entered Wenyuan Pavilion earlier than himself, and was highly valued by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. Now he has added a feudal official who came back from Jiaozhi Road with a lot of credit. It is impossible for Wenyuan Pavilion to act alone.

It's just that today's opening meeting went very smoothly, there was no ambiguity, and the other party even voluntarily backed down.

The worries in Ren Hengtai's heart were also reduced.

At this time, Bai Yuxiu had moved a stool.

I don't know whether he did it on purpose or not, but the stool was placed closer to Xie Jin.

Gao Yangzhi didn't speak, just glanced at these little white students with a smile on his face, and sat down.

At this time, Xie Jin opened his mouth and said: "Yesterday, His Majesty explained that in the future, the note in the court will first enter Wenyuan Pavilion and I will wait for the ticket to be drafted, and then send it to the palace. Today, I will draw it up first, and wait for the officials from outside to enter." Palace, and then take it to the Huagai Palace. What does Elder Ren Ge think?"

Ren Hengtai also sat back on the couch at this time. He looked at Xie Jin in front of him, then at Gao Yangzhi on the collapsed stool, and said with a smile: "What the bachelor said, it's all right. It's still tiring. I went to Beijing yesterday. , we will vote together today."

Gao Yangzhi cupped his hands and saluted, and took a stack of memorials from Bai Yuxiu's hand: "Fortunately for the younger generation."
