.Silence came out of the Ganqing Palace, it was already bright and the palace lanterns were all extinguished.

With his collar tightened, he went to Huijimen. When he arrived in front of the door, the soldiers had just opened the door and the clerks were cleaning the courtyard. When he saw Master Chen appear at this time, everyone was shocked first, and then he hurriedly saluted.

Chen Ji nodded and went straight in, just in time when Xu Jie came out of the "room".

Xu Jie was not surprised to see Chen Si appear here, but his originally dim face became even more dim. He didn't ask Chen Si, how he entered the palace, but just forced himself to be energetic and smiled kindly like an old father, "Go with breakfast together." Chen Si nodded, stepped forward, held Xu Jie's arm, walked to the cafeteria in the backyard... There were already many Si Zhilang and Zhongshu Sheren sitting in the outer hall of the canteen. When he saw Ge Lao Chen helping Yuan Weng come in, they all stood up to greet him, but there was a strange light in his eyes... Although the intrigue of the cabinet was full of clouds, it could not be hidden from them, and they really didn't know how deep the master and apprentice had to pretend to be harmonious.

When we arrived at the inner hall, it was still the long dining table, but the tablecloth was changed to white. Xu Jie sat down on the main seat of the north head, silently sitting on his left hand... There was a long dining table, and the two of them sat in only one corner, looking a little empty and deserted.

In a blink of an eye, the table was decorated with exquisite four meat and four vegetables hot and cold dishes, three drawers of different flavors of pasta, and two cans of carefully cooked health porridge... It was not luxurious, but it felt elegant, which showed that the chef grasped the tunes he liked.

The two of them were neatly placed in exquisite cups, bowls, plates, and chopsticks, both of them were a little dazzled... They had imagined the scene of meeting again before, but before tonight, no one expected that they would have breakfast together today. So for this breakfast, both of them lacked the necessary psychological preparation, just like a steaming small bun in a trunk. Before they were bitten, no one knew whether it was meat or vegetable.

Xu Jie didn't move and said nothing. "I waited quietly and naturally. After a while, the old master came to his senses, looked at the tableware in front of him, and ordered the waiter: "Get some wine."

"Ah..." The waiter was surprised and said, "Does Yuan Weng want wine?" Seeing Xu Jie nodding slightly, he realized that he had heard it correctly, so he quickly went to get wine and utensils. The reason why the well-trained waiter was so surprised was because the court clearly stipulated that officials were not allowed to drink before entering the curtain, so as not to delay official business.

I heard that Xu Jie wanted to drink." The surprise in silent eyes flashed and disappeared.

The old master of the Pavilion wanted wine, so he must give it. In a moment, a bottle of old carvings lying in hot water was added to the table, and three blue pomelo wine glasses from the official kiln of the Yuan Dynasty... Opposite to Shen Mo, there was a set of tableware, which was prepared for Zhang Juzheng who was staying in the Pavilion.

But both of them knew that he would not come back this time.

He paid all the waiters and let the entourage take a look at the door, and only two cabinet masters were left in the inner hall.

There was no servant, "Chen Si had to stand up, pick up the bottle and pour some for himself first, and whispered: "It's just right." Then he filled Xu Jie, but he only poured half a cup... This is the etiquette of drinking this winter this year. We must first try the warmth of the elderly, but because after all, we drank a little first, we must only pour half of the cup for our first cup to show our apology.

"Swim..." Xu Jie asked him to fill the wine.

Silent hesitated for a moment, had to do as he did, then put the wine bottle back into the basin, picked up the wine glass to toast, but Xu Jie said slowly: "What did you think of when you see this scene?" Silently looked at the wine glass in front of Xu Jie, then looked at the wine glass in his hand, and gently put it down: "Wine is a good thing that can relieve worries. The student remembered Cao Cao's "Short Songs"... He should be generous, and worries are unforgettable. How can he relieve worries? Only Du Kang." This is Xu Jie felt a little satisfied with the normal answer, and then recited, "Qingqing Zijin" my heart was full of joy. But for your sake, I have been pondering until now," I pondered until now..." As he said that, he shook his spirit and picked up the wine glass and said, "Jiangnan, I respect you for your teacher." Chen Si quickly stood up and said, "No teacher can respect students, I respect you." Then he picked up the wine glass, sipped it all, and then lit the bottom of the glass to Xu Jie, and sure enough, there was no drop left.

Xu Jie held the wine and continued to sink his... After a long time, he slowly said, "I don't deserve to be your teacher." Chen Mo was really surprised this time and said in a deep voice: "Teacher, why did you say this?" "You have been knocking your teeth down and swallowing your face with a smile." Xu Jie raised his head and said calmly: "This is all caused by me."

Looking at the unspeakable surprise on Chen Si's face, Xu Jie's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heart: "You just heard me want to drink, and a hint of surprise flashed in your eyes. Although I was dizzy, I should have read it right." After a pause, he looked at Si's silent with complex eyes and said: "What flashed in your heart at that time was not "only Du Kang", right?" Silk was completely passive, but he was a long-standing general after all, even though he was shocked in his heart. When I patted the shore, I wouldn't be so confused. I shook my head gently and said, "I just didn't expect that you would ask for alcohol in the early morning. Drinking on an empty stomach would hurt your body." "Hehe, is that right..." Xu Jie smiled unanimously and said, "It seems that I have thought too much." "As he said, he pinched the wine glass, looked down at the wine in the glass, and said quietly: "How many times have you read "Taizu's Verses"?", "No less than ten times." He whispered silently.

"I think you have already become familiar with the top scholar." Xu Jie said slowly: "I thought you would think of Taizu's famous saying when you hold up your wine glass.

", speaking of this, he stopped and brought the wine glass to Chen Si, and then word by word, read the famous saying that Zhu Yuanzhang said when he invited his minister Ru Taisu to drink: "You drink the golden cup together, and the blades will not be spared" 1. This is definitely a heart-blade! Hearing this bolt from the blue, Chen Si had to leave the table and kneel down, pointing to the sky and swearing: "If the student has the intention of bullying his teacher and destroying his ancestors, let the thunder of heaven kill me!" I don't know if he could travel to the Song Dynasty again...

Seeing Chen Si lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head, Xu Jie let out a slight anger, but this was completely different from what he thought about overnight. Of course, Chen Si couldn't kneel down again.

"Get up quickly." Xu Jie said: "I believe you have no such heart."

He remained silent and lay there pretended to be dead, but a small piece of it was obviously wet on the ground, as if tears were pouring out.

"Forget it, I'm apologizing for you." Xu Jie said as he also stood up at the corner of the table and slowly knelt down toward Chen Si.

Chen Si couldn't pretend to be dead this time, so he quickly stood up and held Xu Jie's body in the shape of a bow, and cried bitterly: "Sir, Master, are you going to cause thunder to kill me!", "Why are we making trouble to this point?", Xu Jie also cried bitterly: "Is it really going to make the relatives hurt, will the enemy be happy?" The teacher and student hugged their heads and cried...

The teachers and students still held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and talked a lot of personal words. It seemed that the gaps and tides of many years were all wiped out, and they became close masters and apprentices.

After the clouds were closed and the rain stopped, silently got up first, then helped Teacher Xu up and sent it to the chair. He walked back to the chair but did not sit down, but took out the confession from his sleeve. He handed it to Xu Jie with both hands and said, "This is the reason why the student was summoned to the palace late at night. The emperor handed over the matter to the teacher's instructions." "Oh..." Xu Jie took out his handkerchief, wiped his faint tears, and said pretentiously: "I can't look."

Silent but did not stop and said, "There is no secret between teachers and students, but the teacher is okay." Then Xu Jie said, "That's right, then I'll take a look, so that I can help you with an idea...", so he took out his confession, "Take out his old glasses from his sleeves and looked at them intently.

Xu Jie looked at him very slowly, Chen Si kept looking at him with a respectful expression, waiting for his old eyes to finish his confession.

"This shocking scandal happened," Xu Jie took off his glasses and said stubbornly: "I must apologize. Well, it's time to abdicate and give in to the wise." "Master, don't say this!" Sinister quickly stood up and advised: "The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are all carried on your shoulders. Others can't bear this burden!"

"There is no need to persuade me to say this!" Xu Jie shook his head and said, "The next wave of the Yangtze River pushes the previous wave." A generation of people has changed into old people. He is almost in his twilight years, and this prime minister has not been long for long."

Chen Si was a little surprised and said, "How could the teacher suddenly be so pessimistic? You can work for another twenty years with your body."

"Work for another twenty years, others won't hate me to death." Xu Jie sighed, "The court has accumulated many problems and urgently needs the old and new ones. However, the teacher is old and is confused. It is not possible to choose from thin power; the turbid flow is unreliable, and it is not enough to be clarified by a small amount of glue. It only accumulates years, but it is useless to accumulate. I miss the ancients. I always miss the ancients. I can't help but blush and feel sad and sweaty when I plan to future generations. In fact, I have already abdicated to the wise, but who can give up the wise, but I can only take this important task. I have to be responsible for the court and I have to be very careful." As he said, he looked at the silent with sincerity, "I won't mention the past. As long as you know, the teacher has already chosen you."

"Student, student..." Even when he was silent, he was stunned and said with a hurricane: "Student is still too young, don't scare me." "Change your moderate problem. Now the Ming Dynasty needs a brave and courageous leader. He must be arrogant and powerful, no one else but me!" Xu Jie looked at him, and said word by word: "Now if I can still shelter from the wind and rain, show my abilities in front of all officials, when will you wait until you can take on this great task?"

I have thoroughly seen what ginger or old spicy, what is wine or aging fragrance, what is rice or what is spoiled overnight... There are mountains outside the mountain, little comrade.

Soon, the relationship between being a kind master and apprentice and being sublimated to being passed down from a mantle seemed to be in Xu Jie's heart that Zhang Juzheng had nowhere to be there.

"What the teacher taught me is the lesson." Chen Si frowned slightly, "But these are all things without evidence, all of them were said by Teng Xiang. He tugged around, pulled out the governor, pulled out the nine ministers, and pulled out the cabinet master. But when asked about the evidence, he said that they were all burned, and this became a clue! Yang Yushu and Hai Rui were also confused and actually presented such confessions. Master, if you ask the emperor, you will go and investigate thoroughly, what can you find out?", "It's groundless, not There must be no reason." Xu Jie said sorrowly: "Let's investigate thoroughly and let that Hai Rui take charge. The reason why I asked him a fourth-rank official to take charge was that I was a sharp blade that was omnipotent. This time, this sharp blade was fucked by you. As long as you put in a good effort, you will definitely find evidence!" He said: "Who will catch and who should be done at that time, I will cooperate with you with all my strength." Anyway, I don't have any money to express my determination. Master Xu likes to do this kind of thing the most.

"But the Sacred Heart...", silently said softly: "I don't think so."

Xu Jie was stunned and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

"First, I don't want this incident to affect too much, causing chaos in the government and making state affairs worse.

", answered silently: "The second is that I hope I can let go of his two humble masters."

"The first one is understandable." Xu Jie said slowly: "But the second requirement is not what the emperor should have."

"It's understandable." "Silently, the emperor just turned his head and took care of his former teachers at this time, and it is inevitable that he would give people the impression that he was mean and ruthless and contrary to the rules... You know, you want to be different from the late emperor now."

"Well..." Xu Jie slowly twisted his beard and said, "It makes sense to say this, but if the minister wants to help the king Yao and Shun, how can he obey blindly?"

"You can cool it first and then deal with it after a while." said silently.

"Well..." Xu Jie agreed, "Well, let's take advantage of them first. Only investigate those who are involved in the Hu Zongxian case, such as Li Chunfang and Wang Tingxiang, and the rest of the bribers, will only be archived, and we will not investigate this time."

"Yes..." Chen Si replied softly, but then frowned again: "But if Li Chunfang only checks, will he bit Taiyue to death?"

"This is a dead end," Xu Jie said with hatred: "If it weren't for the sake of the emperor, it would be justified to investigate the two of them together!"
