Chapter 614 New Year's Eve
. "It is said that Yizan.o.mouth.mouth.mouth.mouth.mouth.mouth.mouth.mouth.
When they arrived at Xu Jie's doorstep, they happened to meet Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair. The two looked at each other and said to each other that they had worked hard. It's not easy for Zhang Juzheng to do so. He is now full-time compilation work, with two main tasks, one is compilation.
In the former, he was just a name, but he went to the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and was leisurely. According to this, he thought that his life is extremely relaxed and had a bright future. He half-jokingly envied: "Brother Taiyue's life is like a god." He thought that Xu Jie was really good to this guy, and he was afraid he was not so good to his own children.
The struggle between the Yan Party and the Xu Party has reached the point where the bayonet is at the forefront of life and death. Both sides have taken strange moves to mobilize all their strength to fight the enemy. It can be said that as long as it is an individual and can still be used, they are basically sent to attack the mountain.
Needless to say, the losses of the Yan Party were lost. Even the Xu Party also damaged the tragic and silent feelings of several generals such as Zhao Zhenji, He Ao, and Feng Tianzhu. Intentional or unintentional, he was always at the forefront of the war between the two sides. He had to be strong and hard at all times, and he tried his best to do everything he could. He also had to rely on luck to persevere to this day.
But he also paid a huge price. His senior brother died and his master almost died. He was impeached and was idle at home, but he was still unable to reunite with his family, which made everyone stay away from him, fearing that he would be unlucky with this troublemaker. In addition to the hard-core brothers Xu Wei and Wu Dui, he had a tendency to become a lonely man after all this year. It was really hard to say that he had only underwear left.
But no matter how tense the situation is, how heavy the casualties are, as Xu Jie's most proud disciple, Zhang Juzheng never breathed the smell of gunpowder on the front line, and he was completely out of the world to compile his book.
It is known that with Xu Jie's preference, it is impossible for Zhang Juzheng to lose weight when he finally divided the spoils. It is probably more than he gave him. Although he knew that there was no fairness here, he really felt that his mother was born different from the stepmother's raised.
Zhang Juzheng also had troubles. His work in the re-education of "Yongle Encyclopedia" was clearly intended to pick peaches from trees planted by others. It was naturally eye-catching. He could not say that this was arranged by Mr. Xu, so he could only endure it silently, but this was nothing compared to another errand to compile the "Xingdu Zhi".
We have said before that this was another careful arrangement by Xu Jie, because the so-called "Xingdu" is Anlu in Huguang, the birthplace of Jiajing. After he became emperor, he was upgraded from a county to a prefecture, renamed "Chengtian" and also gave a respectful title "Xingdu. Therefore, the compilation of "Xingdu Zhi" is of great significance, but it was a political article made by Jiajing for his ascension to the throne. The "destiny of heaven" was a political article. Emperor Jiajing, who had always been a little guilty, attached great importance to this and had to read every article carefully.
Xu Jie arranged Zhang Juzheng in such a position, with the purpose of allowing Zhang Juzheng to be familiar with Jiajing and become famous. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
However, if you know the coldness and warmth of water, you can't tell others about Zhang Juzheng's pain at all. Although Cai, the editor of Xingdu Zhi, is eye-catching, is full of flattery articles that praise Emperor Jiajing. Although Zhang Juzheng has been known as a child prodigy since childhood, he has done a good article, but he is not the director of flattery and can only barely deal with it.
But sadly, Emperor Jiajing knew it was a horse article, but he had to appreciate it without saying a word; what was even more sad is that he was just the vice president of "Xingdu Zhi", and the president was Sister Yuan, a famous flatterer in the court and the country. He also had the name of a prodigy since childhood and did a good job in writing, but he was better at flattering horses and flattering, and regarded winning the favor of Emperor Jiajing as the foundation for his life.
Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng wrote the manuscript, he must first review it, and he was always dissatisfied, thinking that it was not numb enough, so he insisted that Zhang Juzheng change it according to his intention. For example, to praise Jiajing's father Xingxian, King Wen of Zhou, and the words "I sacrifice Emperor Xian, and the sage of the heavens are the same as Zhou Wen" and to compare Jiajing to "Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang" is pure nonsense. But this must be done, otherwise Zhang Juzheng will not be left behind.
Poor Lord Xiao Zhang claimed to be aloof. He did not belong to these unlimited flatteries. He had no choice but to have such a boss, so he had to work hard on these things that he didn't look at every day. He was so disgusted that he was vomited several times, and he was obviously thinner.
He was really fed up with this crazy life, and he was envious of the silence of the court and the swaying storm. He thought to himself that when can I do something good?
It was really because the two brothers climbed a mountain, looking at the mountain high. They were so happy that they didn't want to fall into a cold place in front of each other.
He joined hands in the Xu Mansion like a brother, and his housekeeper welcomed him warmly. Then Xu Jie's eldest son Xu Bian came out to talk to him. Xu Marian, like Yan Shifan, was both a prison student and relied on his protection to become a young minister of Taichang Temple. He was idle in the official position, was leisurely, and was even more low-key in his work. Although he was the son of the second assistant, few people mentioned it in the capital, which was very different from Yan Donglou.
After a while, Xu Jie came back and the three of them hurried to greet him. Mr. Xu looked at Chen Mo and Zhang Juzheng, and was so happy that he couldn't stop talking, "Taiyue, Jiangnan, I'm asking you to celebrate the New Year. Is it too abrupt?"
The two shook their heads and smiled, "The house is empty and they are worried about having no place to go. I'm afraid it's causing trouble for the teacher."
Haha” Xu Jie smiled and said, “I am not asking for it if you are with you for the New Year.”
Xu Bo on the side smiled and said, "Father, the family dinner has been prepared long ago. You and the two brothers should join the table."
"Well, okay." Xu Jie nodded and smiled, "Then let's talk again." The four of them entered the main hall. There was only one in the hall, and only four of them sat. The rest of the female juniors set up tables in the side hall.
He apologized silently: "It's a way to get the teacher's family to have a reunion dinner."
"It's okay." Xu Jie smiled and said, "They were uncomfortable with me, and they were still comfortable at a table alone." As he said, he looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "In the past years, when I was in Jiangnan, Taiyue also came to his house to celebrate the New Year, and it was our grandfather's house." After the silence was relieved.
As they spoke, the four of them cleaned their hands and the maid served the dishes. As soon as they saw the dishes were served, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "I haven't eaten the New Year's Eve dinner made by my master's wife for several years. I really think very much."
Xu Pan smiled beside him and said, "My mother hasn't cooked for the past two years. I heard that Brother Taiyue is back, so I broke the example.
He said with a smile, "Speaking of it, everyone has to thank you."
Zhang Juzheng laughed and said, "Then I have to toast my master's wife later."
I watched the other person talk happily in silence, like a family, but I was like an outsider. I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but I still smiled on my face, so I couldn't imagine seeing any clues.
Fortunately, Xu Jie invited him to win him over, not to slander him. How could Mr. Xu, who is known for his versatility, make such a low-level mistake? He then said to silent with relief: "You did a good job yesterday, and you were not arrogant, which made all the officials convinced you. I also had a big face." He said to Xu Bo: "You should learn from your junior brother Chen, and he can be your good teacher and friend."
Xu Bo then remembered his father's instructions, and he put in a warm and warm face, saying that he would be very close in the future. After a while, Mrs. Xu came out and asked the guests if they were satisfied with the meal. After drinking Zhang Juzheng's toast, he said a few more words to Chen Mo, saying, "I heard the master praise him for the top student all day long, and I have long been curious. Today, I can see the real person, which is more pleasing to the master."
Xu Jie's family took action, and the family offensives took turns touched Chen Si and disappeared from the restraint he had when he first arrived. The four of them drank and chatted, and the New Year's Day did not talk about business, but only said something relaxed and pleasant, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
He was drinking and entering the alley. The door outside came in and leaned beside Xu Jie and whispered a few words. Xu Jie nodded quietly and said softly: "I understand, please let him go back first, no hurry at this moment."
The door went out to pass the message, Xu Jie shook his head and smiled, "I don't know what I thought, but the yamen went to work after fifteen. Is there anything that can't be slowed down?" Unexpectedly, the door turned back and whispered, "That person will never leave, and he said something urgent, you must meet the master."
Chen Mo looked at Zhang Juzheng and whispered: "Teacher, it seems that there is something urgent, otherwise who would have run out at this time?"
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Okay, let him wait for me in the study." When the door went down to pass the message, Xu Jie wiped his hands and stood up and said, "Drink slowly, I will come when I go." The three of them quickly got up and gave it to me.
In fact, Xu Jie knew that something must have happened, so he was mentally prepared before seeing Zhang Tong. However, when he came to the study and heard Zhang Tong say the whole story, he was still so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Although he has already started a head-on war with the Yan Party and impeachment is common, at this critical moment, these three people are not only helping others, but also want to kill him, Old Xu!
You should know that silence was given the commandment of Emperor Jiajing, saying that he should not be in trouble with Master Yan. Xu Jie was naturally beaten by Jiajing, warning him to stop and not make things too big. Xu Jie thought about it, and waited for Yan Shifan to worry about it, and the Yan Party would be lost. Then slowly, quietly fragmented and fragmented for three years. There was no need to hurry for a while.
So he has made up his mind to repair relations with the strict party on the surface, no longer use fierce means to fight against the enemy, paralyze the enemy, boil the frogs in warm water, and slowly transform the advantage into the victory. It can be said that for many years, he has never been so sure that he really has a chance to win, so he feels better.
Unexpectedly, before he was happy, he was poured into a basin of cold water on his head, which shocked him. He knew that this time the trouble was so big that these three guys who wrote to him without authorization had a close relationship with him.
Wu Shilai and Zhang Tong both were Jinshi in the year of Chou, and Xu Jie was the chief examiner that year, and the relationship between the two was the teacher and the disciple; and the more terrible thing was Dong Chuance, who was from Songjiang Prefecture and Xu Jie's fellow townsman! These three brothers participated at the same time, and I'm afraid no one would believe that this was not instructed by Xu Jie.
Speaking of which, because Lan Dao acted, Xu Jie was absolutely disadvantageous and the situation was dangerous. He was about to be defeated by Yan Party, so he had to come up with a way to fight against the poison, so that the emperor could join the party. But later, these three people did not write a letter to impeach Yan Party. Xu Jie thought they were afraid. Fortunately, Lan Daoxing's hard bones were unexpected, and his silent thunder methods were even more unexpected. The matter was settled without any danger. He stopped mentioning this matter, thinking that it would be over.
Xu Jie thought it was a stinky bomb, but he knew that he was just delaying the detonation, which was one or two more than he expected. "It turned out to be very different. At that time, he was happy to attack the poison, but now he has become a great displeasure to Emperor Jiajing. He felt that Xu Jie was disobedient and dissatisfied, and he must be beaten hard. Yan Party would also make a big fuss about this matter, but I don't know how many troubles will arise.
Xu Jie complained in his heart, worried and barely supported him and said to Zhang Chan: "Let's go back to celebrate the New Year first, and let's talk about everything after the New Year.
Zhang Tong said worriedly: "But the emperor may find out tomorrow."
"I'll let you go back, then go back." Xu Jie actually said furiously: "Does my words beside my ears?" As the saying goes, clay people still have a third-part nature. Xu Ge Lao, who has always been warm and swallowed water, finally became boiling.
Zhang Chuan was so scared that he was so stupid that he was really good. Before leaving, he whispered: "Don't worry, if you do things one by one, I will never involve you.
"Oh. Xu Jie sighed and said, "Can you decide what you said?" He said, "Go back, go back."
Zhang Tong kowtowed to him solemnly, and then he left in fear, leaving only the lost Master Xu Ge, who was alone in the study room, slid into the dangerous abyss, facing the emperor's thunderous anger. He knew that Emperor Jiajing, who had just used it carefully, most hated was being disobedient by others! This time he was exposed to such a guilty crime that he could not defend, and he dared not move. He could only wait tremblingly for the final result. If he didn't do it well, he would have to be dismissed from office, or even be killed!
Mencius said that winning talents in the world is one of the three great pleasures in life. Xu Jie has always believed that since he was a college in Hanlin Academy, he attached great importance to the education and support of his disciples, hoping that he would be so happy in the future. But why is he not much happiness yet full of bitterness? Yang Jisheng, Wu Shilai, and Zhang Tong, are these people talents? They are students who Xu Jie has high hopes for? But they will not do anything else except to cause trouble for themselves and make themselves angry. Although Yang Jisheng did not involve himself, he was rescued in secret without success. Seeing that he lost his life, it was a big blow to Xu Jie. His head was white, which was born at that time.
This time it was even more amazing. Wu and Zhang, the two high-level players, actually joined forces with their fellow villagers to impeach Yan Song on the New Year’s Day congratulations. It was simply a matter of killing me!
"Oh, why do you want so many students? Think about Sister Yuan, who is against her, who is also her own student. Xu Jie Youyou sighed: "There are many troubles and many troubles, so I will take this life into you sooner or later
When Chen Mo and Zhang Juzheng came to hear the news, they saw how many years old Xu Jie seemed to have suddenly become, and they were surprised and said, "Teacher, what happened?"
Xu Jie looked at them and then had some strength again, and said to himself, "No need to have many good students, these two are enough. Then he cheered up and said with a forced smile: "You two sit down, it's the New Year, but someone insisted on waiting for them to sit down. He told them all the things Zhang Chan said.
The two were also shocked when they heard this. Zhang Juzheng said, "Can you recover the memorial?"
Xu Jie shook his head and said, "I have been sent to the palace long ago, and the palace gate has been closed long ago. If anything happens, it will take tomorrow.
"Tomorrow?. Chen Si said softly: "Maybe the Emperor will see it tomorrow." It is very likely that Xu Jie sighed and said, "To be honest, the emperor's biggest hobby is to read the congratulatory statements of all officials. He looks relish and basically has no silence in one book. He said to himself, what kind of hobby is this? He is worthy of being Emperor Jiajing, and even his vanity is ten thousand times stronger than others.
"Zhu Yan, what do you think you should do now? Xu Jie probably didn't realize that when he encountered difficulties, the first thing he thought of must be silence, not Zhang Juzheng or someone else.
"Now we have to look at the emperor's reaction." He pondered for a moment and said softly: "The best situation is whether the emperor will keep the memorial, so everything will be the same."
"How likely is it?" Xu Jie asked anxiously.
"Twenty percent of the bar said quietly: "The emperor is now moody, and it's hard to figure it out.
"Is there any other situation?" Xu Jie asked again.
"There are two other situations. The emperor issued an order to scold the three people, but did not pursue the others. In this case, he could also accept silence and said: "Then the emperor pursued the matter and ordered the officials to interrogate the three people and asked them to confess their masterminds. This is the worst situation.
"What's the use of analyzing these?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but speak out: "The teacher asked about the solution."
"The purpose of my words is" said Xu Jie silently, "No matter what the situation is, it is very unfavorable to us. We can do nothing, we can only wait and see.
"What's the idea?" Zhang Juzheng said: "Do you sit and wait for death?"
