Xia Xun pouted with a sneer between his lips, followed Luo Kedi out of the palace, and when he walked to the corner of the palace, he turned his head and vaguely seemed to see a waiter in his early tens, thin as a xiǎo bird, holding the dust in his hand, running towards him on tiptoe, sticking out the tip of his tongue, and said worriedly: "Ouch, Brother Yang, why did you come." ”

Xia Xun shook his head violently, turned around and walked out, never looking back.

"Yang Xu, you go back and prepare first, arrange things at home, and come to Yamén early tomorrow morning to report, take the customs defense, and go to Kaifeng on business. ”

Out of the palace," Luo Kedi said, standing still.

Xia Xun replied, "Luo Kedi hesitated, remembering that Xiao Qianyue found himself last night and cried and begged for mercy, in the end, he was the one who had been with him for a few years, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and said: "Also, when you come tomorrow, this official will give you an official document to transfer a person to Xiaolingwei and accompany you to Kaifeng on a business trip." ”

"Oh?"

Xia Zhen seemed to be aware of it, "Raise your head."

Luo Kedi smiled and said: "Xiao Qianyue, you have done things together before, and you have a tacit understanding, this person was arrogant some time ago, and he was taught a lesson by this official, and now he should know how to restrain himself." Tell him to come with you" is also a handy person. ”

Xia Xun arched his hand and said: "Obey orders." ”

Luo Kedi nodded, turned on his horse, and walked along the royal road. Xia Xun led his horse, paced out of the royal road step by step, got out of Zhengyang mén, stood on the Zhonghe Bridge, looked at the Qinhuai River flowing slowly, and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow: bamboo shoots in the mountains, quietly sharp, thick and hollow."

Thinking of that Emperor Jianwen in his heart, Xia Xun couldn't help but say his comments about him, "smiled contemptuously at the Qinhuai River, and turned around to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a green-shirted scribe in his thirties, "his eyebrows are delicate, but his figure is extremely short", the top of his head is only up to his chest, his face is slightly ruddy, a faint beard under his chin, his eyes are hooked, as if his nerves are not normal, he walked towards the guardrail by the bridge step by step, his expression was sluggish, his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something.

Xia Xun looked at him with an abnormal expression, and couldn't help but look at him a few times with concern, and saw that he walked to the side of the bridge and "leaned on the railing to look at the river under the bridge, and suddenly pressed the bridge railing with both arms" and was about to jump down. Xia Xun had already paid attention to his actions, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly reached out and "grabbed his waist robe" and pulled him back.

The man's five-short figure was "not heavy", and he was actually carried in his hand by Xia Xun.

"What do you do" let me go and leave others alone. ”

The man became angry and struggled again and again, "There was a faint smell of wine coming from his mouth." Xia Xun was in a bad mood, but when he saw that this person was blindly looking for death, he laughed angrily: "If you want to die, it's not good to die" to hang yourself in the countryside, and if it is rotten, you can still féi a piece of land" Jumping into here, wouldn't it dirty the water of the Qinhuai River? ”

The man was even more annoyed by his ridicule" and said in a loud voice: "How can this be reasonable, how can it really be reasonable, let go of me quickly, don't think that you are a general banner of Jinyiwei, and this official is one level higher than you" Let go of me, it is not a proper system. ”

Xia Xun was a little surprised, so he let go of his hand and said, "You are an official?" What kind of official are you, tell me about it. ”

The man tidied up his clothes" and said proudly: "This official Xie Jin" was originally a Chinese scholar who often served the first emperor, but now he ...... Now......"

Xie Jin? The editor-in-chief of the "Yongle Canon" "The first cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

I just returned the pair: "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow; Bamboo shoots in the mountains, with thick skin and hollow belly. "I didn't expect to meet the original author here, Xia Xun was even more surprised" Seeing his collection of words, he subconsciously asked: "How is it now?" ”

Xie Jin's shoulders slumped, and he hung his head and said, "Now, now is...... It is the guard of Hezhou (northwest of Lanzhou City, Gansu Province......"

Xia Xun almost laughed out loud when he heard it, guards? is about equivalent to a company document now, how did Xie Jin go back more and more?

Xia Xun looked at Xie Jin's appearance, and then looked at the Qinhuai River, and suddenly said: "Lord Xie is because he was demoted to Hezhou to be a guard, so he wants to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river?" ”

Xie Jin's face turned red, and he was a little speechless. Xia Xun said in his heart: "This is the chief editor of the "Yongle Canon", such a talented man can't let him die like this. Then he said disdainfully: "Lord Xie is full of talent, why is there no interest in it, the saint is still poor, and the ancient ministers rarely have smooth sailing, today's adults are down-and-out in Hezhou, and Anzhi can't be a very good minister in the future?" ”

Xie Jin laughed miserably, spread his hands and said, "Me? Done? ”

Xia Xun looked at his eyebrows very seriously, and said: "I see that your heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, the bones are clear, and the spiritual root is very good, and the future in the future will be unlimited." ”

Xie Jin touched his chin and said blankly: "Is Jinyiwei so miserable now, and all the fortune tellers are collected inside?" ”

Xia Xun laughed and grabbed Xie Jin's arm and said, "Let's go and go, let's find a hotel and talk while eating." ”

Xie Jin only thought that this was a drunken ruffian, and quickly covered his waist and said, "I don't have any money.........

Xie Jin's family is not poor, and he has Dai Lu after being an official all these years, will he have no money? Xia Xun glanced at this miser with disdain, and snorted, "Naturally, I please." ”

Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then went with him.

Xia Xun found a small xiǎo shop, cut a braised plate, ordered a few light xiǎo dishes, asked for a pot of wine, asked Xie Jin to sit down, and asked about the past, only then did he know the reason for the matter.

Speaking of this Xie Jin, he is indeed a talented man, Hongwu 21 years to raise the jinshi, awarded the book Shu Jishi, walking in front of the emperor, very much Zhu Yuanzhang "once presented the "Taiping Ten Strategies", was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang as the genius of Anbang to help the world, the general strategy of governing the country and the world. He also once said to him: "With Eryi, the monarch and the minister, the father and son of Enyu, should know everything." "can make a stern person like Zhu Yuanzhang say such warm words", which shows his liking for him.

However, the talented person is more proud, and the same is true for Xie Jin, his IQ is very high, but the emotional intelligence is insufficient" One is that he does not know how to be tactful, and he is young and vigorous, "what to say" The other is that he does not get along well with his colleagues, and he is arrogant and arrogant, which is a little annoying. Later, "he recklessly used a knife to catch the knife for the Langzhong Kingdom, and avenged the grievances of the Korean prince Li Shanchang."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it at a glance "Although Zhu Yuanbi loves his talent, he is annoyed that he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, so he summoned his old friend before the emperor, Xie Jin's father, to Beijing" and said to him: "If you are a late bloomer, if you return to Erzi, you will be able to enter." In the next ten years, it is not too late to use it. In one sentence, "the twenty-two-year-old Xie Jin resigned with pay and went home for further study" gave him a ten-year long vacation at once.

Xie Jin was helpless, so he had to go home to concentrate on learning, sharpen his feelings, and saw that after eight years, the ten-year period was about to arrive, and Zhu Yuanzhang returned to heaven, Xie Jin was dumbfounded, Zhu Yuanzhang promised to let him return to the court as an official after ten years, and now that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, once a son of heaven and a courtier, "wait for two more years" The new emperor still remembers who he is?

Why, "I should also show my face in front of the emperor" to leave some impression on the emperor. But his mother has just passed away for a year, and the three-year filial piety period has not expired, and his father is also old, "How can I go to Beijing for activities?" Besides, it hasn't reached the ten-year period stipulated by the emperor.

Xie Jin is a genius in the end, and his brain is flexible" was actually thought of by him as an excuse. Didn't the edict of the first emperor say that "the civil and military ministers inside and outside the country are united in auxiliary government", no matter whether he can assist the government now, he is still a Beijing official, "I should come to meet the new Son of Heaven." Furthermore, "the first emperor once said to him personally: "With Eryi, the monarch and the minister, the father and son, should know everything." "Since the father and son are the same, the father has passed away, and the son is going to pay for filial piety, right?

In this way, Xie Jin rushed to the capital, but immediately fell into the hands of the old enemy Yuan Tai.

Yuan Tai was originally the imperial envoy of the Zuodu of the Inspectorate who was impeached by Xie Jin "because of lawlessness", and Zhu Yuanzhang demoted him to his post "Zhu Yunwen adjusted the leadership team after ascending the throne and removed Wu Youdao" promoted Yuan Tai again, Yuan Tai heard that Xie Jin returned to Beijing for activities, and immediately went to Zhu Yunwen to sue him: leaving home for less than three years of mourning is for unfilial piety: the first emperor had promised him a ten-year period, and now he has only returned to Beijing for only eight years, which is disloyal; If you are disloyal and unfilial, you deserve to be put to death!

Zhu Yunwen's ears are soft, as soon as he heard this, he wanted to issue an order to behead Xie Jin, fortunately, Dong Lun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Xie Jin are fellow countrymen, and pleaded for him that Taizu died, and Xie Jin abandoned family affairs and went to state affairs, which is loyalty and filial piety can not be both and take its righteousness, even if he is guilty, he should not be killed, otherwise he will inevitably chill the loyalty of the former emperor's former ministers.

So Zhu Yunwen opened the net and "sent him to the northwest."

Xia Xun couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang really leave a talent for Zhu Yunwen? This is the chief editor of the "Yongle Canon" "Yongle Dynasty's first cabinet chief, who has been an outstanding politician for six years as a scholar of the first assistant university, and gave nòng to a company in the northwest frontier region as a clerk...... Xie Jin drank while talking, the more he said, the more sad he became, and in the end he cried loudly, causing many guests in the tavern to look here, Xia Xun smiled bitterly and put down the wine money, picked up Xie Jin, and nodded to the drinkers again and again: "My friend is not good at drinking, hehe" When he was drunk, he cried loudly, Ignore him" Ignore him. ”

Xia Xun helped Xie Jin out, comforted him, and swore to him that gold will always shine, and the pearl will not be dusty forever, go to the northwest for a while, and learn more about the people's and military's conditions, it may not be a bad thing, since there are friends in the court, maybe he will be used by the court in three or five years.

Xie Jin was originally a person with a relatively high IQ and a relatively low EQ, as soon as he told the grievances in his heart, he was much more comfortable, and the thought of seeking death was faint, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Xia Xun said made sense" When Xia Xun sent him back to the inn, his drunken eyes were full of gratitude and said to Xia Xun: "Wenxuan, thanks to you today, Xie Mou's life was saved by you, Wenxuan's great kindness" Xie Jin remembered it in his heart, one day, Xie Jin can really come to the court, return to the court, and repay Wenxuan's kindness. ”

Xia Xun promised to send him back to the room" Xie Jinjiu was drunk, and he fell asleep on the couch, Xia Xun covered the room for him, and when he walked to the entrance of the inn, he suddenly froze: "Xie Jin was saved by me!" If in history he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river because he was demoted to the river state, then there would be no "Who saved him?" in history. If there is no other person, then his life and death are actually influenced by me, then where am I in history? It's because ...... Am I unknown?
