Jinyi Night Walk

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin carefully looked at an official letter, his face sank after reading it, and he felt heartbroken.He clapped together and said: "Lu Shangshu, the emperor took Annan County and appointed officials to govern it, and ordered the scholars who visited the Ming Dynasty to be erudite, virtuous and upright, to be promoted in Beijing, and to promote Annan scholars to study in the Imperial Academy. You should be deeply concerned about the kingly teaching and accepting Annan people's hearts. But look, how is this arranged?"

Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was sitting on the opposite chair drinking tea. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Does the chief assistant 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 should be given to these Annan scholars, and the best schools and dormitories should be vacated for these Annan scholars. The special care is to make them feel the greatness of the emperor's grace. If you treat them as ordinary students, how can you help the emperor win over Annan's people? Don't send them to the imperial court, I won't be able to pass this test!"

Xie Jin threw the official letter in front of Lu Zhen with a snap, and said flatly, "Go back and make another copy!"

When Lu Zhen was thrown by him, his face turned red. Holding back his anger, he sleeved the official letter, cupped his hands to Xie Jin, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Seeing him leaving in anger, Xie Jin couldn't help curling his lips, and said to the little eunuch waiting next to him: "Looks like this kind of poor, ignorant person, I have a word, it's just right to give it to him." !"

The little eunuch Hua joked, "I don't know what the old man thought of?"

Xie Jin said: "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy, light-footed and shallow-rooted: the bamboo shoots in the mountains have a sharp mouth, thick skin, and a hollow belly!" At that time, the little eunuch in Wenyuan Pavilion was also educated and literate, and he couldn't help but hear this. He couldn't stop laughing, someone walked in at this time, just heard this, he laughed and said: "The gentleman is always mean, who are you mocking?"

When Xie Jin saw it, he stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, it turns out that Everbright is here, so sit down quickly."

The person who came in was also a cabinet scholar named Hu Guang, who was the No. [-] scholar in the second year of Jianwen.In that year's No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, Hu Guang should have been No. [-], but because Wang Gen, who was supposed to be No. [-], had an unlucky name, he was demoted by Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunfen and promoted him to No. [-].

On the day Zhu Di entered the city, several people sighed relative to each other, but in the end only Wang Gen committed suicide, Hu Guang packed up and went with Xie Jin to support Zhu Di.

Although in terms of personal integrity and ethics [〖morality〗], Hu Guang is a bit of a scumbag and speculative suspect of sitting on the wall, but this person is indeed talented. He is cautious and thoughtful. He did many good deeds that benefited the country and the people during his tenure as a university scholar, and he was a cabinet minister that Zhu Di relied on very much.

During Zhu Di's northern expedition, he took him with him because he had government affairs to deal with. This time he also accompanied Zhu Di back from Saibei.He and Xie Jin have a very good si friendship. The two have a relationship of "students in the same place, long-term classmates, and officials in the same office". After marrying children and in-laws, the marriage contract has been set, but they have not yet married.

Xie Jin smiled and told what happened just now. Hu Guang frowned, waved the little eunuch out, and said to Xie Jin with confidence: "As the chief assistant of the cabinet, the gentleman has a high position and great talent. It's just this xing My son, I have to talk about you. Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, ranks in the Jiuqing, how can you scold him like a petty official? You are still laughing at others behind their backs. These little eunuchs have nothing to do and like to chew their tongues the most. Speaking out and reaching Lu Zhen's ears, this became an insoluble suspicion.

Why bother to make such an enemy?You, when will this sarcasm be corrected? "

Xie Jin stroked his beard and smiled, disapprovingly, but asked, "Guangda, you didn't come here to teach me a lesson. What's the matter?"

Hu Guang said "oh" and said, "That's right, Mr. Ji Gangji has taken in two new concubines, they are twin sisters. They are very beautiful, and Mr. Ji loves them very much. I just wrote a picture, I want to ask someone to send it to congratulate him. I was wondering if you should also write a letter, and I will ask someone to send it along."

Xie Jin was displeased when he heard that, and reprimanded: "Guangda, you are the most unprincipled person. You want to make friends with anyone. How can I, Xie Jin, flatter someone like him? If you don't give it away, it will be a piece of rubble. I will not send it to Ji Gang's residence either."

Hu Guangdao: "Gentleman, although Sir Ji is different from you and me in civil and military affairs, but in terms of rank, he is not inferior. We often see each other in the palace, and it is just a matter of convenience..."

Xie Jin said with a sullen face: "Guangda, you don't need to say any more, I won't pay attention to him, and I advise you not to condescend to curry favor with him, Ji Gang? Huh! What is he!" Then Xie Jin He kept talking about a lot of truths, and Hu Guang couldn't stop laughing bitterly, so he had to hand in his hands and beg for forgiveness: "Okay, sir, don't talk about it, can't I admit defeat? Okay, then you are busy, I will go first Let's have a drink tonight."

Xie Jin was still angry, and waved his hand and said: "I won't go. Before the emperor went north, I started compiling the "Yongle Dadian". After the emperor came back, I just wanted to report the progress of the compilation. , now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, I have to report the "Yongle Dadian" to the emperor, and you go!"

Hu Guang sighed and had no choice but to say goodbye.

The little lady came in, saw his face, and asked with a smile: "What did Mr. Hu and Mr. Ge say that made Mr. Ge unhappy?

Xie Jin snorted, and didn't take Hu Guang's persuasion to heart. He told the whole story to the little eunuch next to him at this moment, and sneered: "Hu Guang said, I will ignore him. If It was Ji Gang who came to ask for a poem, so I might as well give him one."

The little maid blinked and said: "The elder Ge is a star of Wenqu, and the poems he writes must be excellent. I don't know how the elder intends to write it if he wants to send Mr. Ji a congratulatory poem?" : "One big Joe and two little Joes, three-inch golden lotus and four-inch waist, bought five or six or seven packs of fans, dressed eighty or ninety-fairly."

After Xie Jin finished speaking, he took a selfie and laughed out loud. The little underwear chewed carefully, and couldn't help but fell down laughing.

Laughing twice, Xia Xun stepped in and saw Jin Jin bursting into laughter, and couldn't help asking: "What happened to the gentleman to laugh so happily?"

After Xia Xun returned to Beijing, Xie Jin had visited the mansion a long time ago. This was not the first time we met. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly left his seat and stood up. Why are you interested in coming to see me today, please sit down quickly!"

Xia Xun shook her head and said, "I've been sitting at home for long enough, and you are the same, sitting for a long time hurts your health.

Today is sunny, you and I go outside for a walk. "

Xie Jin had no reason why he shouldn't, so he hurriedly followed him out of Wenyuan Pavilion and the two of them walked slowly under the corridor of the palace. The autumn sun was half shining on their bodies, and it was warm.

Xie Jin took what happened just now as a joke and told Xia Xun to listen to it. Xia Xun felt inappropriate after hearing it. Whether it was Lu Zhen or Ji Gang, it was fine to disapprove of the other party's actions, and it was also fine to disagree with the other party and not to conspire with each other, but Xie Jinshi's talent is arrogant, and he has offended too many colleagues.

Xia Xun vaguely remembered that the officials who suffered with Xie Jin in history were not alone. Few people paid attention to him. I have to say that although his talent is outstanding, he is indeed a failure in being a human being.

Xia Xun was about to persuade him with a few words, and the person in front of him walked like a dragon and a tiger, walking in an imposing manner.

Xia Xun took a look, but it was Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu also saw them at this time, walked up to them, looked up and down, his expression was very arrogant.

Xia Xun and Xie Jin hurriedly cupped their hands and said: "My minister Yang Xu (Xie Jin), I have seen His Highness the King of Han!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, looked at Xia Xun and said, "On the way back to the south, I met you in a hurry, and didn't bother to talk at that time. At that time, the Duke's face was dark and thin, and you look much better now." Xia Xun smiled and said: "Your Highness accompanied you on the expedition to Mobei, and you have worked hard. After this hard work, you will become more vigorous and fierce. , In the midst of looking at you, the heroic spirit is overwhelming!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted triumphantly, and said: "This king followed the saint to drive the Northern Expedition, Liao Zhan for half a year, traveled thousands of miles, beheaded tens of thousands of enemy chiefs, forced Benya to die, and forced to land. Lutai, it seems that the meritorious service is great, but in fact it is because of the father, the emperor, so the three armies used their lives and worked hard. When the father went to the north, the most worrying thing was the battle in the Western Regions. Fortunately, Timur died of illness , A major entanglement was avoided.

On the contrary, you, the Duke, were trapped in the Western Regions, wandering and wandering, and only managed to escape after a narrow escape. Although you have not achieved an inch of merit, you are a lucky general.What is the old saying?Oh, there is hard work without credit, the Duke is really hard work, why did you come to the palace today, but does the emperor want to reward you for your hard work?Ha ha!Ha ha……"

Zhu Gaoxu made the most of the ridicule, but Xia Xun didn't take it seriously and just smiled.

Seeing him smiling and not answering, Zhu Gaoxu was not very angry, he looked at himself with a playful smile, he felt very bored, he snorted coldly, and proudly said: "This king is in the west of the city. Practicing Tiance guards and horses, suddenly my father summoned me to enter the palace to discuss matters. You two are so wonderful, it is very interesting, but this king does not have that leisure time. Talking about you, this king!

..." Before he finished speaking, a young eunuch came over from behind him, saw Xia Xun from afar, and shouted loudly: "Master, you are here, the emperor ordered the servants to invite the Duke into the palace Discussing the matter, the servant rushed to the Duke's mansion, heard that the Duke had gone to Dongji Shichang, the servant rushed to the godfather's place, but missed it again, the Duke, you came to the palace..."

"Oh, Your Highness, the servant has seen His Highness!" Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was there, the little eunuch hurriedly greeted him. Zhu Gaoxu was just showing off triumphantly. At this time, he heard that Xia Xun was also involved in the emperor's call. Son, he didn't realize that his face was dull, he snorted with a straight face, and walked away.

That little eunuch Xia Xun had met before. He was originally called Mu Si, and because he was in honor of Mu En, and the two had similar surnames, he took the opportunity to recognize Mu En as his godfather.Mu En's age is actually not very old, he is still a young man, but the godfather in the palace is recognized by the other party's status and influence, not by age.

Therefore, after Mu En became the factory supervisor of the East Factory, he promoted himself, his godson, to the emperor's side to serve as a small yellow man who passed the decree.

Mu Si waited for the King of Han to leave, and then said to Xia Xun: "Master, there has been a big change in the south. The emperor summoned several adults from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households to discuss matters. The Lord must hurry up." , don’t make the emperor wait for a long time!” n The third watch asks for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket! ! .
