Chapter 705: One Hundred Years Old

.Bow      "One
After the drafting was completed, Xu Jie read the manuscript again and said, "Excellent! Great! This time it was finally foolproof." Liu Zhuo and Huang Guangsheng also smiled and said, "No matter how smart Yan Shifan's head is, he will be separated from his body this time!"
Without further ado, Xu Jie immediately summoned Zhang Juzheng to write and asked him to go to the secret room to write. After the writing was finished, he looked at Huang Guangsheng and Liu Jie immediately completed a secret memorial with an Inca seal. Xu Jie handed him his hands to Huang Guangsheng and gave him the original draft.
"This useless thing almost hurts people! I will ruin it when I go back!" Huang Guangsheng pointed to the stack of drafts.
Xu Jie shook his head and smiled, "But it's not completely useless. The Yan family is like a centipede worm. It's dead but not dead. There are many old parties in Beijing, and there are many people who worry about Shifan. These people are everywhere and have many ears and eyes. They will definitely find out about your files and think of countermeasures.
"The elder of the cabinet was very worried, and the two nodded and said, "What do you mean?"
"Why don't you promote this judgment? I'll numb the old party of Yan's family and relax his vigilance and said in a low voice: "As for our new verdict, we will be silent and silent. If we wait for the day of the presentation, we will change it to the real seal. We will definitely be sure to catch Yan Shifan off guard!"
When the two heard this, they said happily: "What a plank road that is openly built and crossed Chencang secretly! With the help of the Pavilion Master, Yan Shifan has no hope this time!"
"Until Yan Shifan's head landed, you can't be careless at all, Xu Jie solemnly instructed Huang Guangsheng: "When the time comes, you will submit it to the West Garden. You are the imperial envoy, and no one dares to stop it. You will hand it directly to the emperor!"
"Abide by the order!" Huang Guangsheng said cheering up. He knew that the time for his fame to be remembered in history was coming.
Xu Jie sent him two out. When he returned to the duty room, he saw that Zhang Juzheng was already waiting there: "The student has something unknown, so I would like to ask the teacher for advice."
"Thank you." Xu Jie sat down with the table.
"Are you every assistant?" Zhang Juzheng said in a low voice: "The heaviest thing is to go to this road?"
"What road?" Xu Jie looked at him and said.
"The way to go against the emperor" Zhang Juzheng said to Zhu Xin.
Xu Jie looked at him calmly for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Taiyue, Taiyue, I have always been worried before that you will be bullied by Shen Zhuyan. Now it seems that I am definitely worried and said, pointing to his eyes and saying, "Your eyes can see through everything!"
"The teacher praised Zhang Juzheng and said modestly.
"You are telling the secret of heaven in one word." Xu Jie said slowly: "Speaking of this, the relationship between Chengxiang and the emperor is not just like this, and he said seriously: "If a country wants to be clear and stable in politics, the most important thing is to have rules. If everyone abides by the rules, the country will not be in chaos. What are our rules?"
"Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues." Zhang Juzheng replied softly.
"Yes, but if there is a problem, I can't control everyone." Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "The king is the leader of the minister, the father is the leader of the son, and the husband is the leader of the wife. It can be said that everyone in the world is included, but it is missing.
"You mean," Zhang Juzheng asked softly: "Emperor."
"No," Xu Jie nodded slowly and said, "Heaven creates all things and has the power of creation. If one thing is created, one thing will overcome it. The prime minister is used to restrain the emperor. In ancient times, the prime minister was called the prime minister as a minister. The emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to salute his prime minister; in the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister could still sit in front of the emperor. When it was the Song Dynasty, he could only stand; when it was the Ming Dynasty, he simply abolished the prime minister."
"But the way of heaven is normal, and Xu Jie, who can change it just by personal wishes, said in a deep voice: "Even if the wise and magical martial arts are like Emperor Taizu, the title of inheritance can be permanently cancelled, but it cannot stop the power of the prime minister and is reborn in another form." As he said that, he gently stroked the jade paper on the table and said lightly: "That is the cabinet. After the efforts of several generations of great scholars, the authority scattered to the six ministries by Emperor Taizu has returned to the cabinet. Now he is a great authority, and he is far away from the Song Dynasty and is chasing the Han and Tang Dynasties. This is probably what Emperor Taizu never expected?
This rebellious statement has always been respectful and careful. Mr. Xu, who was afraid of trampling on ants when walking, said it even more chilling. He suddenly remembered an old saying: "Donald Zhou was afraid of rumors, and when Wang Mang was humble and respectful to the corporal, he would have died at that time. Who knows that loyalty and treacherous for all ages?
But Zhang Juzheng's eyes showed an excitement, and he suddenly said, "But not every prime minister will realize his mission, right?"
"Of course, it is a good choice to kill this person for a long time and blindly cater to the emperor." Xu Jie sneered and said, "But think about Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, Cai Jing, Qin Shuan." And Yan Song, who might be prominent at that time, were all infamous for thousands of years and were despised by thousands of men." He lowered his eyelids and said, "Since ancient times, the lords and officials ruled the world together, and the prime minister was the brain of the literati. Since we talked about this today, Xu Jie would give his students a key lesson on the road to powerful officials. He said earnestly: "When you sit in this position, you must assume this responsibility and take the people of the world as your own responsibility. Put a blessing on the side of the ancestors, the people of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military officials in the court, and the emperor and the royal tyrants. Only then can you be called "As long as you sit in this position, you must take on this responsibility and take the people of the world as your own responsibility. You will be blessed with the blessings, and take the ancestors, the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the civil and military officials in the court, and the emperor and the royal terrorists are watched.
"The student was taught by Zhang Juzheng and said deeply. Today's words will be firmly imprinted in his heart and allow him to stand in a higher position. Considering the intricate political situation, prepare for the future! Xi Jiang "Yo Yi
The summer heat in Beijing in August is gone, the autumn is clear and the geese fly south, and the best time of the year is here.
Three days ago, Shen Mo was elected as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites with no suspense and officially became the youngest senior official in the Ming Dynasty. The whole family was naturally extremely happy. Ruohan ordered people to make official uniforms overnight, and there was also a ceremonial guard to be prepared for travel. Although there were many powerful people in Beijing and fifth-rank officials still had to go down, there were still a few senior officials at the department level. They were all particular about what kind of sedan chair to sit in, what kind of guards and entourage to carry when traveling.
However, Shen Mo lacked interest in these things. In recent days, he always ran out, and even ignored the vegetable garden he was most concerned about. Ruohan knew that he was in a bad mood recently, so he didn't bother him with those trivial matters until the ninth night of the lunar month. He said to Shen Mo: "Go to the royal palace to have a hundred-year-old wine tomorrow, so he always tried his new clothes."
Shen Mo said absent-mindedly: "No need. I'm going to visit the emperor in person tomorrow, and I have to be in the official uniform. I can't wear any other clothes.
"This is not another dress. Ruohan pulled his sleeve to the edge of the bed and said, "It's your new official uniform, Master."
Shen Mo saw the brand new crimson third-grade official uniform. He had a peacock on his chest and a bullfighting on his shoulders. The style was gorgeous and the material was top-notch, which was showing his newly noble status. But he refused: "I just got promoted, so I made the official uniform first. I will inevitably be gossiped about when I wear it out.
"Wear your own clothes and let others envy you." Ruohan smiled and said, "This is not something that was stolen, it was earned by my husband himself."
"Let's just wait for two days." Chen Si shook his head and said, "No rush at this moment, but when Ruohan looked disappointed, he quickly changed his words and said, "But I can't wait to try it on first.
"Hate." Ruohan said in a cloudy way: "If you don't wear it, you won't wear it, so that you can't afford to make a big deal of your master." "There is a silent smile and said with a smile: "In Beijing City, there are too many people staring at you, the more you get promoted, the more you have to be low-key, and there is nothing you can do for your husband."
When I tried the official uniform, I was good at length, fat and thin, and I was naturally full of praise for my silence.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the sky was high and the clouds were light. The west wind drew the green trees last night, which urged the fragrance of chrysanthemums. The silent followers were ready to escort the adults and go to the Prince Yu's mansion to attend the 100th anniversary banquet of the prince.
After thinking silently, he finally decided to wear Yan's clothes to go to the banquet. "Yan's clothes, Zhongjing crown, was formulated by Emperor Shizong Jiajing, based on the ancient Xuanduan clothing system, which was intended to encourage all officials to advance and think about loyalty and to make up for it. When I was not yet a Jinshi, I had to pass this kind of gift. Now I am in the third rank, and the style has not changed. They are all black gauze wrapped socks, two mountains behind, and the Zhongjing crown slightly raised in the top of the crown, but originally used light-colored silk thread to press the edges to gold edges. The clothes were also made of dark blue silk threads. Although the third rank and above weave cloud patterns and below the fourth rank, the difference does not seem obvious.
After changing his clothes, he came down to the patio with three feet of his daily seat, and he saw that the four-carry blue official sedan he had been sitting in was replaced by eight-carry green official sedan, and the accompanying guards also increased four more.
Chen Shi knew that this was decent for third-rank officials, but it was not a rigid rule. If an official reached the level and had a poor income, he could do it within his ability and was not considered a violation of the system. Of course, if he was less than the level, he would enjoy it first. Even if he was violated, he would be impeached, at the least he would be punished, and at the worst he would be dismissed.
Silence is not going to ride in this green sedan chair. Because this is not only a matter of adding a few sedan chairmen. It also requires attracting sedan chair officials and supporting sedan chair officials. The show is too high-profile. It is only after he can restrain his glory. It makes his colleagues less jealous, but now he is also called the youngest senior official in the ministry, and many people will feel uncomfortable again. So he made up his mind to be low-key, so as not to cause dissatisfaction from superiors and colleagues. The sharpness is too great, which makes the former worry that someone is fighting for power, and makes the latter jealous. This will make his political ecology worse again.
So Chen An silenced to chase back the sedan chairman who was kindly arranged by Chen An and took back the sedan chair with the green sedan chair and took his old sedan chair with the blue one. Chen An muttered, "We can't afford to raise it, why don't you let people look down on me?"
"What's the saying?" Chen Silent frowned and said, "I think you have changed a lot recently. Where did you calmly when you first entered Beijing?"
After hearing what the adult said so harshly, Chen An quickly shrank his neck and said, "Okay, can you listen to yours?" Then he went down in shame and prepared again.
Looking at his departure back, Shi Si shook his head silently and said to Tiezhu on the side: "He really has a wife in the Twelve House?" Tiezhu nodded silently.
"Bastard." Shi Mo cursed: "You can't let him stay in Beijing. In a few days, I think of a way to send him to Shanghai and let Chen Jing make him a team in Shanghai. Chen Mo's impression of Chen Jing was too profound. He was definitely a cruel and ruthless official. It was possible to castrate Chen An.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
On the way to West Chang'an Street, there are a lot of people on the same road. Green and Blue Sedans are so numerous that they can't count them. Some have ceremonial guards and some have simple travelers. And he also found an interesting phenomenon. Green Sedans are walking fast in the middle of the road. Blue Sedans have to be leaned aside, but they are more reasonable than walking. There are more poor officials in Beijing. "The second sedan chair is disdainful of riding a horse, so they can only strike, and the bad name is "an stroll."
It took half an hour to get there, and this time, I knew that the overall situation had been settled and came to catch up with Prince Yu's field. When I passed by Prince Jing's Mansion, everyone avoided it. It seemed that when I looked at the formerly crowded palace, they would be very disrespectful to Prince Yu, but I forgot to beg yesterday and beg for being a lackey. I sighed secretly, and finally arrived at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion. I saw the spacious street in front of Prince Yu's Mansion, divided into two heavens and earths with the gate as the boundary. The traffic on the west side was full of traffic and water was not open, but the red carpet was paved on the east side, with gold and silver, and the imperial forest was tight, and the idle people were not allowed to enter. Because that was the direction the emperor was heading.
He got out of his old blue sedan chair in silence, and it was indeed not eye-catching. He quietly entered through the side door, but Feng Bao still saw it. He smiled and leaned over and said, "Sir, you haven't been here for many days, so young people miss you to death."
"Oh, the prince is now all his thoughts on the prince." Chen Si seemed to complain, but in fact he said happily: "How can I still have the heart to listen to the class? I am naturally so happy to be lazy."
"You are leisurely." Feng Bao also seemed to complain, but in fact he said excitedly: "I am busy every day, I am afraid that there will be something wrong today." Because this is the first time the emperor has arrived after the completion of Prince Yu's mansion, from the prince to ordinary palace people in the palace, they are very nervous, fearing that they will lose their respect and count. This makes people laugh and make the emperor angry.
I still silently found Huang Jin from the palace. I explained to the people of the palace where the emperor would change clothes, where the swallows would sit, where the banquet would be held, where the banquet would be held, where the guests should retreat, where the kneel, where the meals should be served, where the guests should go, where the meals should be served, where the matter should be announced, and all the items needed were listed and they were prepared accordingly. But it was also an extremely arduous task. Antiques, cultural relics, birds, fairies, cranes, banquets, and a large amount of ingredients had to be purchased and sold. I even had to invite six opera teams to perform operas in various places in the palace, buy more than a hundred Taoist nuns, and teach them to chant scriptures and mantras. Any of these was usually complicated and complicated chores, and now they were pressed over at the same time, which really made Feng Bao and Meng Chong want to die.
Fortunately, Empress Li can already take matters into consideration. She is in the middle of command, has good dispatch, and has made the arrangements carefully. The arrangements are made, so that the preparations can be carried out. In the second half of yesterday night, she and the Empress Dowager checked everywhere, and finally there were no more omissions or inappropriate points.
So King Yu went to the palace early this morning to invite his father to go. As for the mansion, the eunuchs had to invite the guests in for tea and wait for the emperor's deportation together.
Seeing that the palace people nearby were endless, they were all in vain, they smiled and said, "I'm not in the way here, I'll go in and play with you first."
"Please, please." Feng Bao smiled and directed his seat, saying, "The first table in the East Palace."
Chen Si separated from him and came to the East Hall with a familiar path. More than forty tables had been set up inside. The guests were halfway through. When they saw him coming in, they stood up to salute. Chen Si quickly returned the greeting enthusiastically, and walked in with greetings. The eunuch led him to his seat.
Chen Si saw that all the people sitting beside him were high-ranking officials and nobles. There were only emperors, princes, princesses and other family members in the main halls, enjoying the joy of family life. The rest of the people were feasting in the east and west side halls, and even the side halls to accompany the Tian family to have fun. So Chen Si’s table was all the Duke and the Shangshu. He, a third-rank official, became a little shrimp. However, Chen Si knew that King Yu arranged this way to invite him to accompany him. After all, the teacher of the Wang Mansion was considered half of the master.
Fortunately, the rest of the people dare not underestimate him. Even the rulings who are usually above the top are talking to him politely. There is no way, who made him famous now?
After the greetings at the table, the people asked silently and smiled: "What are you talking about just now? Let me have fun when I say it.
Liu Zhuo, the censor of the Left Capital beside him, smiled and said, "Don't Mr. Shen? Yesterday, the Ministry of War arranged a military exercise between the Qi family army and the imperial guards in the Beijing camp. The original intention was to let the imperial guards learn something from the Qi family army. At first, it was two thousand to two thousand, but in the blink of an eye, he was beaten down."
Duke Cheng, who was next to him, shook his head and continued, "The people in the Ministry of War felt that they were embarrassed, so they changed to two thousand to four thousand, which was twice the number of the Qi family army, but they were still beaten down."
"Later, I added two thousand more, but I was beaten and spit out." Liu Zhuo snatched back and said, "Later, the Ministry of War would not dare to add it again because I really couldn't afford to lose that person." After that, it caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Although the silence laughed, he felt very uncomfortable because he could hear that the nobles despise the army and the warriors, as if they were not guardians defending the country, but just a group of despicable clowns.
"The military loose and weak force of the Ming Dynasty has a direct relationship with this contempt. After a sentence in my mind, I smiled and laughed hard with the adults until I heard a sound: "The emperor is here!" I stood up with everyone and took the lead.
