Chapter 354 Four Wolves
After seeing off the master, Chen Ji devoted himself to the day after day of his history, but this early summer was destined to be uneasy. A few days later, a eunuch actually sent a Jiajing oral order, ordering Hanlin editor Chen Ji to serve as the cabinet minister, and to report to Xiyuan Shulu the next day.
As soon as the eunuch passed away, Zhu Dashou and Tao Dalin came over to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Brother Zhu Yan, for transcending the sea of ​​suffering and entering the cabinet." If the Grand Secretary is the emperor's secretary, then the "Si Shilang" is the Grand Secretary's secretary. Although he is also a sixth-rank official, he is much more prominent than the Hanlin editor buried in the pile of old papers, so both brothers congratulate him.
"What are you going to congratulate? Don't talk about the 'Four Wolves', even if the Seven Wolves enter the cabinet, they have to serve the cabinet masters and serve them carefully." Chen Jian smiled bitterly and said, "If there is someone who doesn't like me, maybe one day I will take advantage of me."
The two knew that he was insincere, but no one could tell the truth, "I am very happy to be able to go to the cabinet. Brothers, please continue to suffer here..." so they didn't squeeze him anymore.
Silently went to Li Chunfang, the actual master of the Academy, to explain the situation to him, and asked a few people to transfer to help the two brothers continue to revise the "History of Yuan Dynasty". Seeing that he had only been here for less than two months, he was transferred to the cabinet in a moment. Li Chunfang knew that this kid was very popular, so of course he didn't want to offend him, so he asked him to pick two from Shujishi.
After thinking silently, he said, "Then let Xu Wei and Sun Yan." You said that the water will not flow to outsiders. Now that the revision of "History of Yuan Dynasty" has been clarified, of course, we cannot let others get a bargain.
"Xu Wei definitely can't do it," Li Chunfang shook his head and said with a smile: "Just just now, while I was sending the imperial eunuch to Xu Wei, and ordered him to serve as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and he would join the cabinet like you. Tomorrow, the Western Garden will report." The Secretary of the Central Secretariat is from the seventh rank, the same level as Shujishi, but in essence, it is no different from the errand of the "Four Wolves".
"Is that right?" Chen Mo said secretly: "Then please ask Wu Dui to serve him."
"No problem." Li Chunfang said with a smile: "I'm so stupid. After going to the cabinet, don't forget our Hanlin Academy."
"Of course not." Silently smiled, "It's a pity that I am a little Sizhilang, and I can't help much."
"Of course I can help." Li Chunfang smiled and said, "If you say something to the parents' ears, it's much better than if we are running and wearing off our legs and wearing off our mouths."
"If there is a chance," silently bowed: "I have no choice but to say anything."
The next morning, Chen Ji and Xu Wei waited outside the Xiyuan to open the door. The two good friends could make progress at the same time, and they were both very excited.
When the clock of Mao opened, the two of them held the imperial edict and told the door guards that they wanted to come. More than a moment later, a purple-clothed eunuch and a green-clothed official came out and smiled at them, "You two are here together."
The two laughed and said, "I met at the door."
The official said, "Comrade Chen, please come with me." From this title, we can also see that although the Hanlin official has no power, it is indeed valuable, so people don't call him "Four Wolves", they still ask him to write.
The eunuch also smiled and said, "Xu Shuchang, please come with the miscellaneous family." Shuchang is the name of Shuji Shi, and Shuji Shi Xu Wenchang respectfully called Xu Shuchang.
Chen Mo and Xu Wei were surprised and said, "Don't we go to the same place?"
"Of course not," the official smiled and said, "You are going to Wuyi Palace." The eunuch said, "Xu Shuchang is Zichen Palace."
Xu Wei changed his face at that time. Who doesn’t know that Wuyi Palace is the cabinet’s office, and Zichen Palace is the place where Tao Zhongwen’s old bull’s nose practices alchemy?
After silent pulling him gently, Xu Wei then remembered where he was and lowered his head in a bad mood. The two had to separate and follow their guides to their respective places they should go.
After walking a distance, he smiled at the official who led the way and said, "Have you asked Dafu for advice?"
"What kind of adults are you? We are all Sizhilang, and we are called brothers." The official looked at him at the same age as Zhang Juzheng, but his figure was not tall, his face was fair, but his eyes were bright and bright, which made people feel very friendly. He smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Siwei, his name is Ziwei, and he is from Puzhou, Shanxi..."
"Oh?" Chen Si said in surprise: "You are Zhang Siwei, the legendary 'Shanxi Yibao'?"
Hearing this title, Zhang Siwei almost fell to the ground and smiled bitterly: "No need to say it, you know my uncle."
"The prefect of Su Song, Wang Chonggu, is the uncle of Brother Ziwei?" It was the turn of Chen Siwei to be surprised. It was when he had dinner with Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu last year that he heard that Zhang Siwei was very awesome.
Why is he said he is a great? It is said that this person is a child prodigy. He was a scholar at the age of fifteen and won the third year of junior high school. Liu Feng, a scholar from Shanxi, was highly appreciated and called him a pillar of the country. Then at the age of twenty-four, he passed the second place as the second place as the juren. At the age of twenty-seven, he passed the fourth place as the jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing and entered the Hanlin Academy as the first Shujishi, just one year earlier than the silence.
Although this resume is much less beautiful than silence, it is enough to make people all over the world call themselves "genius", so Wang Chonggu often talks about it... It is indeed very respectful to have such a genius nephew.
With Wang Chonggu, who was far away in Suzhou, a Shanxi native and a Zhejiang native actually felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. In addition, both of them were young talents and had a sense of mutual appreciation. When they arrived at the courtyard where Wuyi Palace was located, they were already familiar with each other as if they had been friends for many years.
Zhang Siwei pointed to Wuyi Palace and said, "This is the place where the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet works," and pointed to the side halls on both sides and said, "That is where the adults sleep, and you will have one."
Looking at the low side hall, silently said in disbelief: "These are the elders going to bed here?"
"Yes," seeing the incredibleness on his face, Zhang Siwei smiled bitterly: "The Xiyuan Shulu is low and narrow, and it is all east-west rooms. It is sunny in summer and cold in winter. You can work here to work hard and work hard to improve your strength." He said with a smile: "I am joking. According to the cabinet masters, this is still the emperor's grace... It is said that although the emperor always lived in Xiyuan, there was no fixed residence here. He arrived as he was summoned, and he left after two days or three nights, as if he was a common place, which made the Grand Secretary miserable. Later, the emperor was merciful and ordered the left and right wings of Wuyi Hall to be "Quanlu" and gave the ministers to live and work. Only then did the adults avoid the pain of running around."
"But the Prime Minister doesn't live here." Zhang Siwei pointed to a small courtyard in the distance and said enviously: "The emperor loved Master Yan and ordered someone to build a new residence there. Although it was not big, five bedrooms were all equipped with the halls and rooms facing south, so Master Yan didn't have to suffer here." The five bedrooms refer to the kitchen, study, bedroom, bathhouse and thatched cottage, representing basic living facilities.
"Oh..." Silent nodded and followed him into the main hall.
After entering, I found that the huge palace was divided into several single rooms, and the largest one was naturally Ge Lao's room.
Zhang Siwei asked for silence for a while, and then he went in to report, and after a while he opened the curtain and said, "Comrade Chen Xiu, the Chief Supervisor invites you in."
Shun Si tidi tidied up his clothes and tidied his energy in. He visited Master Yan Ge in a big ceremony. The old Yan Song actually held the table and personally helped him up and said silently: "Why should the top scholar be so polite? I don't like to be out of here."
Another voice sounded in the room and said, "That's right, everyone is our own people, so there is no need to be too polite to speak a word."
When I looked up in silence, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a third-grade uniform and fat body like a rich man, but there was a lingering gloomy and ruthless middle-aged man holding Yan Song to talk to him.
He guessed the other party's identity, but Chen Si bowed and asked, "Dare you ask me?"
"I am Yan Shifan," the fat man said with a smile: "Call me Brother Donglou, just don't call me Lord Yan, you will get divorced as soon as you shout."
"It's better to call him Donglou Gong," he has been silent in Beijing for more than two days. He has long heard of this guy's fierce and domineering reputation, so he naturally dare not be arrogant.
"It's up to you." Yan Shifan helped Yan Song sit down and laughed: "Although we met for the first time, we have been in harmony for a long time. Hu Ruzhen wrote several times to express your cooperation with him in Zhejiang and his kindness to protect him. So my father and I have long wanted to see you and thank you in person."
Although I don’t know what Yan Shifan sold in the gourd, Chen Si quickly said modestly and said that he “had nothing”.
In the Zichen Hall on the other end of the West Garden, Xu Wei changed into a wide Taoist robe and began to write green lyrics with cinnabar on green paper. There was a Taoist priest with a mouthful of Shandong flavor chatting and said: "You are the good brother of Xianggong Chen? He is my benefactor. From now on, you will be my brother. You won't recognize me as a brother, right?"
Xu Wei was not happy with his current errands, and he had two big heads at once. He put down his pen and scolded: "Master Lan, if you don't stop talking, I can't finish it."
