Chapter 99: A Bland Reward
Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, and Liu Jian congratulated each other on the New Year, and Li Dongyang mentioned yesterday's fireworks event, and Liu Jian happily echoed on the side.
The two wondered who was setting off the fireworks extravaganza.
"It is not an ordinary person who can do such a trick, either at the behest of His Majesty, or by a powerful family."
"I haven't heard that ordinary craftsmen in the folk can do this, nine times out of ten it was created by His Majesty at the behest of the official craftsmen, and it can be regarded as an auspicious occasion for the New Year."
"Your Majesty, too, this is a good thing, as soon as that fireworks come out, everyone who witnesses it will be amazed."
"Yes, that's true, but look at that direction, it should be Jiming Temple, and Jiming Temple is not a royal temple, so if you set off fireworks, it shouldn't be there?"
"The West Mountain, where the Jiming Temple is located, is quite high, and the fireworks there may be to let more people see it."
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang discussed for a long time, but Xie Qian didn't say a word about the excerpts from the courtiers.
Liu Jian greeted him: "Gong Xie, what's the matter?" Feeling bad? Why don't I see you talking? Who do you think was responsible for the fireworks? ”
Li Dongyang then asked: "Yes, Gong Xie, what do you think, tell me, this excerpt is not in a hurry to see, some busy military and political events have been dealt with years ago, and these excerpts are basically to celebrate the New Year with Your Majesty." ”
Li Dongyang's estimate is not without the end, and some major affairs have been almost dealt with in the busy days of the year.
Now these are the ones who celebrate the New Year with Emperor Hongzhi, and they don't need to vote, just submit them directly.
Putting down the fold in his hand, Xie Qian got up with a radiant face, and replied: "Since the two of you are curious, then Xie Mou will tell the truth, the fireworks yesterday were actually from Xie Mou's unscrupulous son." ”
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang exclaimed at the same time, "What." ”
Then, Liu Jian asked rhetorically, "Thank you?" ”
Xie Qian nodded yes.
Xie Qian's answer made Liu Jian and Li Dongyang unable to react for a while.
However, in addition to being surprised, they were only shocked, they also knew Xie Qian's character, and they would never think that Xie Qian would say such deceitful things for this matter.
Shocked for a long time, Li Dongyang looked envious and asked, "Gong Xie, how did you teach those five boys in your family, what you have done over the years is really more and more shocking." ”
Li Dongyang's envy made Xie Qian even more excited, he smiled, and said: "It's serious, come on, come on, continue to deal with these excerpts, although there are few places that need to be drafted, but the amount of excerpts is a lot, don't delay." ”
After the three of them buried themselves in processing more than a dozen excerpts.
Without exception, most of these excerpts are divided into three parts, in addition to congratulating Emperor Hongzhi for the New Year, more praise for the fireworks event, and the rest is to praise the person who proposed to organize the fireworks.
After Xie Qian looked at a few copies, he took the initiative to say: "Since the person who bought this fireworks is a dog, then this ticket will be compared with Xie Mou, as for how to vote for the two decisions, Xie Mou will not participate." ”
It is reasonable that Xie Qian did not participate, and Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were not reluctant.
Liu Jian replied: "Then let's do it, the old man and Gong Li are discussing it, Your Majesty is probably also considering how to issue this will, and it is better to send the opinion as soon as possible." ”
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang are not incompetent people, and they have dealt with these excerpts in half an hour, and they have also drawn up their opinions on the draft vote.
Of course, there is no direct mention of Xie Zhi's commendation in the ticket proposal, and it is only a reward for the person who makes fireworks.
When the cabinet's draft opinion was handed over to the imperial case of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi had sent Mu Bin to investigate the cause and effect of the matter in detail.
Although he already knew from Zhu Houzhao that this matter was Xie Zhi's doing, he couldn't casually attribute this matter to Xie Zhi.
If there is a discrepancy with what Zhu Houzhao said, wouldn't it be a trouble.
After Mu Bin's thorough investigation, it was known that the fireworks were all made by Xie Zhi alone, and Chang Sui He Liang was only responsible for setting them off.
After listening to Mu Bin's report and meeting the commendation opinions sent by the cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi finally decided to suspend Xie Zhi's commendation.
After suspending Xie Zhi's commendation decision, he called Xie Qian over.
Before Xie Qian entered the warm pavilion and saluted, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead in waving his hand and said, "No need to be polite, please take a seat." ”
After Xie Qian sat down, Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "Xie Qing, I must know who did the fireworks yesterday." ”
Xie Qian nodded and replied: "I know, what the dog said yesterday was handled by him." ”
Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said, "Qing has always been fair, and the cabinet vote must not have interfered, right?" ”
Xie Qian said again: "The minister knows that the person behind this fireworks is a dog, and he has not participated in anything from the excerpt to the ticket. ”
Emperor Hongzhi pulled up a smile and said, "I came to Qing because I have something to discuss with Qing. ”
After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "To be honest, I also have high hopes for Xie Zhi, the matter of fireworks, Xie Zhi should really be commended, even if it is directly crowned with an official and a half-position, it is not an exaggeration, but I thought, Xie Zhi is just a child after all, and he is about to have a spring festival, if he is commended now, it will inevitably distract him, and it will also lead to his pride, which will not be beneficial to him in the future, this fireworks Xie Zhi He did a good job, but his mind can't just be on this." ”
Although Emperor Hongzhi's words were plain, his words were completely considered by Xie Zhi.
Xie Qian immediately got up and thanked him, and said, "Your Majesty can think so carefully for the dog, in the heart of the minister..."
Before Xie Qian could finish speaking, Emperor Hongzhi interrupted him.
"Qing don't want to be like this, I actually have selfish intentions in doing this, the prince is stubborn, so that he can make rapid progress like Xie Zhi, and become a person who learns, it is extremely difficult, the prince and Xie Zhi have a very good personal relationship, I can only pin my hopes on Xie Zhi, I hope Xie Zhi can follow the prince like this, then I will rest assured."
Emperor Hongzhi asked Xie Zhi to assist Zhu Houzhao.
"I and Qing said this, just to make it clear to Qing in advance, so as not to think too much."
Emperor Hongzhi wants to focus on cultivating his son, what can Xie Qian do, can he say that his son can't afford it?
can only reply to the previous sentence simply, and said: "The minister understands, Your Majesty's good intentions, Your Highness will also understand." ”
After communicating with Xie Qian, the commendation for Xie Zhi was directly sent to the East Palace.
While Wu Kuan was teaching, Xiao Jing walked in with the dictate of Emperor Hongzhi.
"Your Majesty's dictation..."
The three people in the hall got up and waited for Xiao Jing to read it.
"Xie Jieyuan fireworks festival, I saw it, and I was very relieved."
After Xiao Jing read it, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao didn't react, even Xie Zhi didn't react.
If you don't give him any reward, you can give him a holy decree.
There are too many holy decrees in his hand, which directly shows that he is a holy person, and at worst he can bluff someone.
"Xie Xie Yuan, thank you."
Before Xie Zhi could reply, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "Only a verbal message? ”
Xiao Jing's wrinkled face pulled into a smile, and said with a smile: "Yes, the dictation is like this, the slave maid rushed to the Zhan Mansion after receiving His Majesty's will, and there will be no mistake." ”
Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something, but Xie Zhi immediately said, "Your Majesty." ”
God knows what the guy could say with his mouth open.
Premium? Xie Zhi is not uncommon.
If Zhu Houzhao said something without thinking about it, it would make Emperor Hongzhi feel that he was coming for these things.
It would not be good if it damaged his image because of this incident.
Xie Qiandu was already grateful, and Zhu Houzhao had nothing to say if he was reluctant.
After all, this word has nothing to do with him.
After Xiao Jing left, Zhu Houzhao muttered: "Father is too stingy, what's the use of a mere reward?" ”
Xie Zhi glanced at Wu Kuan's face, and he would not reply and provoke this brow.
If it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's identity, a strict teacher like Wu Kuan would probably beat him to the point where he didn't even know his mother.
