Chapter 57: Dreams
Xie Zhi took Zhu Houzhao back to Xie's house and didn't go anywhere, and stayed in his courtyard for an afternoon.
After a few rounds of poker with He Liang and Xiangyue, it was time for dinner.
At dinner, Xie Zhi did not take Zhu Houzhao to the Xie family's dining room, and instructed Xiangyue to bring two servings and solve it directly in his own courtyard.
Zhu Houzhao's identity is there, the Xie family is awkward, and Zhu Houzhao is not comfortable.
After eating, Xie Zhi took Zhu Houzhao to complete the homework assigned by Wang Dehui, and then played backgammon before going to sleep.
After today's events, Xie Zhi lost sleep.
Since he crossed over, his biggest goal is to be able to change the image left by the original owner, and he can't be loved by everyone, at least he will no longer scoff at him.
When this goal was achieved, he thought that he might be like this for the rest of his life, and he would be able to get a petty official and be ordinary for a lifetime.
Today's incident really touched him a lot.
If Shi Yu hadn't been instructed by Zhang Heling, how could he rob the Piaoxiang Tea Shop, Emperor Hongzhi hastily resolved the matter without any careful investigation and only to compensate for the loss of the tea shop.
In the lobby of the Terracotta Division, the so-called victim who drank tea and died was standing there in a hurry.
The proprietor of the tea shop and the guys didn't even bother with this matter anymore.
Handled in this way, Emperor Hongzhi was obviously favoring Shou Ninghou, but no one said much.
For the first time, Xie Zhi experienced the supremacy of monarchy up close, and also saw the rampant of the real powerful.
I don't know how long it took to stay up, but Xie Zhi felt a little sleepy.
I finally fell asleep, but I didn't know what kind of messy dreams I had.
First of all, I dreamed that the Xie family seemed to have been defeated, as if it had been raided, and large bags of things were piled up everywhere in the yard.
finally reversed the scene, but it became a battlefield for the Jin Ge Iron Horse.
The soldiers on one side were retreating, and the soldiers who were left behind were constantly dying under the enemy's sword, and the scene was extremely cruel.
When the soldiers were retreating, the picture was reversed, and it turned into a splendid palace castle again.
The whole palace city is in chaos, mourning is everywhere, and the palace maids are lying everywhere.
Suddenly, a sword struck him, and suddenly, he finally woke up from his nightmare.
Why do you dream of these things today, is it because of today's events?
Xie Zhi touched the cold sweat on his head, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
I got up and sat up from the bed, took a sip of the tea at the table, and put on a dress
He simply sat in the middle of the courtyard.
Sitting in the courtyard, this nightmare still lingering in his mind.
He was born in engineering, and he is not familiar with this history of the Ming Dynasty, but he only knows that after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Qian and Liu Jian impeached Liu Jin together.
After the failure, Liu Jian resigned and returned to his hometown.
Now his relationship with Zhu Houzhao is not bad, and even if Emperor Hongzhi dies in the future, the Xie family will not be at risk of raiding the house.
But if it goes on like this, his later dreams will definitely happen.
Chongzhen Coal Mountain hanged himself, broke into the king and entered Beijing, and the Qing army's entry into the customs would never be avoided by the small butterfly effect brought by him, a traverser.
The only way to avoid this outcome is to make Daming strong from now on.
Although nothing can be set in stone, and the Ming Dynasty cannot exist forever, if the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger from now on, this dream may happen later, and there will be no innocent lives lost.
God gave him this opportunity to cross, if he didn't do anything, it would really be such a good opportunity to be blind.
Xie Zhi seems to have reached a new goal, he wants to make Da Ming strong, to make himself a powerful man above ten million people, so that his children and grandchildren will never be bullied, and he must also let himself not be burned when the road is uneven in the future.
Today's matter, if it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's identity being more noble than Zhang Heling's, then their road would have ended when they saw injustice.
And the only way to do this is to have power in your hands and the right to speak.
Don't look at his current image has changed a little, but if he gets a new policy to strengthen the country and enrich the people, then someone has to listen to it.
Even if some people listen, this kind of new deal that offends the majority of the powerful will never be good.
Xie Zhi not only wants the Ming Dynasty to be strong, but also wants to get a piece of the pie for himself and become the powerful man above the tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, the only way for him now is to take the road of the imperial examination, mix in the official system as a scholar, and personally make his ideas a reality step by step.
After thinking about these questions, Xie Zhi's heart felt a lot more comfortable.
After feeling comfortable, Xie Zhi couldn't wait to share it with others, glanced at the sky outside, and looked like it was almost early, so he walked directly to his father's yard.
to disturb his father's good dreams, hoping not to be beaten out by his father.
When he arrived at Xie Qian's room, Xie Zhi knocked on the door a few times and shouted, "Dad, Dad..."
After shouting three or four times, the lights in the room lit up, and after a while, Xie Qian opened the door with his clothes on, and asked with a displeased face, "What's the matter?" ”
Xie Zhi didn't care about Xie Qian's face, pulled up a smile, and said, "My son can't sleep and wants to talk to his father." ”
Xie Qian was stunned for a moment before he said, "Wait." ”
"Zhi'er, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xie in the house also asked.
Xie Zhi replied with a loud voice: "Mother, it's okay, you can sleep, my son can't sleep and wants to talk to his father!" ”
Mrs. Xie said again: "What happened?" ”
"It's okay, mother, go to sleep!"
Soon, Xie Qian got dressed, turned around and closed the door, and took Xie Zhi to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard.
"What's the matter? Go ahead! "Xie Qian's attitude is not very good.
Xie Zhi didn't care, and replied: "Erchen wants to go to the imperial examination." ”
Xie Qian was extremely surprised, and immediately asked, "Go to the imperial examination?" ”
Xie Zhi replied word by word: "Today's matter in the Piaoxiang Tea Shop, my father must have already known, if it weren't for the son and the prince, the tea shop would definitely become Shou Ninghou's, if there is no prince, the son's sword will only make him suffer in prison, and if the son is just an ordinary identity, he will die in vain in the prison of the Soldiers and Horses." ”
What Xie Zhi said was completely true, and Xie Qian didn't say anything and waited for Xie Zhi's next words.
Xie Zhi continued: "My son doesn't want to be the owner of the tea shop who was bullied, nor does he want to be the righteous man who may die in vain, my son hopes that he will have the confidence to help him when he draws his sword in the future, and he also hopes that he can be the parent official who protects the people from being bullied by the powerful and powerful." ”
There is a bit more righteousness in these half-truths and half-truths.
As for the strategy of strengthening the country and enriching the people, it is not yet time to put forward it.
After Xie Zhi's words, Xie Qian was even more surprised, and said, "What do you really think?" ”
Xie Zhi nodded and replied: "Yes, today my son finally understands that in the past, Mr. asked his son to prepare for the imperial examination, and his son also had the idea of taking one step at a time. ”
Xie Zhi asked for progress, Xie Qian was also happy, and he was happy to agree.
