Although the person who presented "Shu Yi Lu Shu" was only a temporary prince, and he didn't even have an actual grade, no one in Beijing would still underestimate this "little pavilion elder" now.

For example, Feng Bao reacted the fastest.

After more than half a year, Feng Bao once again quietly came to Zhang Juzheng's bachelor's mansion.

Since the afternoon of this day, it has been raining heavily, but the heavy rain can't dispel Feng Bao's travel plans, he is still the same as the previous time, wearing a cloak and a cloak, and came as Xu Jue's entourage.

Different from the previous time, Zhang Juzheng seemed to have known that Feng Bao would come in person this time, and had already made arrangements in the flower hall.

Look at each other and smile, everything is silent. The two entered the house and exchanged a few casual greetings, Feng Bao quietly introduced the topic and made a gesture to Xu Jue beside him, Xu Jue understood, and hurriedly held a mahogany box.

"Duke, what is this?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

Feng Bao smiled: "Why don't you open it and take a look?" ”

He made a gesture, Xu Jue immediately opened the mahogany box and took out a delicately framed vertical scroll, You Qi saw that Zhang Juzheng did not say anything to stop him, and immediately stepped forward to help separate the vertical scroll.

It turned out that this was a banner written on the whole sheet of the best four-foot rice paper used by the imperial palace. Zhang Juzheng got up to look, stared at the words on it, was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but murmur:

Yan City came back to the beginning of February, and the fluttering spirit dragged the long coat.

Kinmen has not sold Ganquan Fu, who in the Xuan Room asked Zixu.

Taiyi burns the east wall fire at night, and the Tianchi turns into a northern fish.

Qiankun is full of spring, and the ring will serve the forbidden house.

There is a line of inscription at the end of the poem: Honoring Mr. Taiyue's poem, Feng Bao. Below the word "Bao", there are two stamps of one yang and one yin, one side and one circle, the yang square seal is the word "Feng Bao" in the Wei tablet style, and the two words on the Yin seal are the two words "big companion" in the Qin small seal style.

Feng Bao is not a "celebrant and supervisor", not a "commander of the East Factory", but a "big companion", Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a touch of essence in his eyes, but it flashed away.

As for the poem transcribed by Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng is very familiar with it. It was written by him nineteen years ago, and it was the first song of "Sending the Junior Carnival Brother Back".

At that time, he was still in Jiajing for 26 years, and he and his fellow villager Chu Youjia came to Beijing to participate in the triennial examination. He was admitted to the Jinshi and was selected as the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, but Chu Youjia was named Sun Shan. The two parted in the Beijing Inn, and Zhang Juzheng wrote this poem to give to Chu Youjia.

After nearly 20 years, now rereading this poem, Zhang Juzheng can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

At that time, he was young and vigorous, and when he first came to the capital, he saw those princes and nobles, civil and military officials, who came from Jiangling and were born in the military, and he was not only discouraged by his poverty, but also confident in his full stomach. Between the lines of the poem, it is revealed that his lofty political ambition is to win the pole of the people: the prime minister will be imprisoned.

Zhang Juzheng recited his old work in his mouth, but his mind changed in an instant: "This Feng Bao, what is the purpose of copying this poem to me at this time?" ”

Once again, he looked at the scroll—this time not at the poem, but at the words. This painting is intertwined with grass and grass, fat but not sluggish, stable and proud, quite the penmanship of Yan Zhenqing's "Jiangwai Post".

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "The name of the Confucian eunuch of the Duke of Confucianism resounded throughout the court and the opposition, and Shilin praised the Duke of the Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, especially the two arts of piano and calligraphy, which is the best for a while, not to mention that no one in the 30,000 eunuchs in the two capitals can be out of the right of the Governor, that is, the generation of the Golden List of Literature and Songs, and there are few who can hope to carry the Governor of the ...... Thank you for your kindness, I will treasure this painting for the rest of my life. ”

"Mr. Taiyue is wrong to love, and he is ashamed." Feng Bao said, instructed Xu Jue to roll up the vertical scroll and put it back in the mahogany box, and continued: "In fact, Mr.'s calligraphy is far above Feng, I have seen Mr. a few banners for friends, but Yuan Yue Zhi but swaying freely, as for Mr.'s recitals, votes, I have seen more, in a word: I have no intention of getting the samadhi for the book, but I can do it very easily." Feng has seen a lot of ink treasures of the old and important ministers of the pavilion, and the characters of Yan Fenyi, Xu Cunzhai, and Gao Gao Xuan, the three first assistants, have also seen it, but none of them are comparable to Mr. Speaking of calligraphy, how dare Feng get an axe in front of Mr.? In fact, Feng appreciates Mr.'s poem. ”

While Feng Bao was talking, Xu Jue and You Qi both left the study and went outside to gossip in the living room. Only Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were left in the study, Zhang Juzheng handed Feng Bao a cup of two cups of freshly squeezed coconut water from Guangdong tribute coconut fruit sent by the scholar, and he picked up another cup to drink, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "This poem transcribed by the Duke was not worth mentioning, but it was just a few nonsense words made by the servant when he was young and frivolous and ignorant of the world. ”

Feng Baoda shook his head and replied: "Mr. said that he was joking, if he said a lie, Li Qingzhao said, 'Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost', that is a lie." Thinking that she is a female streamer, she can only write a few lines of poetry, how qualified is she to talk about talents and ghosts? But Mr. you are not, Mr. is now in the second auxiliary, only one step away from the top of the ministers, as long as a little effort, it is 'will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains and small', the name of the ages, from Mr. is close at hand. ”

"Famous through the ages?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but repeat a sentence, his heart was excited, his ambition since childhood was to be a character like Yiyin and Lu Wang, to exercise the power of the temple, and to practice the art of strengthening the country, but when he thought of Gao Gong, he was stunned in his heart, and sighed: "Dugong, everyone in the world regards Jiangling as the new Zheng Zuo, but with Xinzheng in power, how can I have this day?" ”

"Since this is the case, then let Xinzheng be 'absent', as long as he is not Gao Xinzheng, Mr. will take the position of the first assistant, just like exploring the bag." Feng Bao said categorically.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is the governor too optimistic, you must know that Gao Ge is always the emperor's first minister." ”

Feng Bao waved his hand and said: "This is naturally true, how can I not know?" However, everything in the world is subject to variables, and now this variable is imminent. When Feng Bao said this, he looked at the hidden door of the study, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, in the past month, the emperor's appetite has decreased by more than thirty percent, and ten days ago, the emperor coughed up blood. ”

Zhang Ju's face changed greatly, and Huo Ran got up.

"That's true!"

Feng Bao was very satisfied with Zhang Juzheng's performance, he smiled at Zhang Juzheng, waved his hand, and said, "Sir, I haven't finished my words yet......"

"What else?" Zhang Juzheng is really difficult to calm down now.

"Guo Anyang has returned to Beijing." Feng Bao stared at Zhang Juzheng's eyes and said leisurely: "Come with that 'Little Pavilion Elder'...... I heard that Gao pragmatic worshipped him as a gentleman. ”

"Guo Pu!" Zhang Ju's front color changed greatly: "The high arch wants to restore Guo Pu?" ”
