Chapter 472: You Help Me, I'll Help You (Sixth Update)
Even if Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, usually makes the court a miasma, he still respects the scholars, especially the Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, even if he mixes it again, he knows how to stop in moderation, otherwise he will not attract so many people for his use.
It is usually thought that those who do evil in the DPRK and China will inevitably look down on anyone, but in fact, the real treacherous officials know how to be officials very well, and first of all, they show great respect to those who control the direction of public opinion.
This great tomorrow is naturally the Hongzhi Emperor's, but it is the scholars to assist the Hongzhi Emperor in charge, the Hanlin Academy is the world's scholars look up to the palace, for the Son of Heaven scholars admired.
Even if it is an ordinary scholar in the Hanlin Academy, it is also selected from hundreds of new scholars, and there is absolutely no choice for learning, you are embarrassed by them, don't you let the world's scholars look down on you?
After Hanlin finished writing down the things at hand, Zhang Heling asked someone to send a gift to each person and personally sent everyone out of the house.
When he arrived at the door, Zhang Heling deliberately approached Shen Xi, and said in a low voice: "Benhou has not had time to reward Shen Xiu for his work in diagnosing and treating the prince, and I will invite you to a banquet in a few days." ”
Still coming? Shen Xi muttered to himself, he really can't live with his own life if he comes again! Fortunately, there is one point, Zhang Heling did not suspect Liu Daxia of the investigation of the grain theft case in the treasury for the time being. Shen Xi thought to himself: "The farther away from the Zhang brothers, the better, even if you don't think about your life, you have to think about your reputation." ”
The Zhang brothers did evil, and the common people hated them far more than the courtiers, and whoever got close to the Zhang brothers would be classified as a "traitorous party".
A trip to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, Shen Xi exchanged a medicine bag that cleared the fire and moisturized the lungs for three gifts, he had no intention of checking what was inside, and before he went out of the street, Song Xiaocheng and Tang Hu came forward with lanterns, and they had been waiting in front of the Shouning Marquis Mansion for two or three hours.
"Lord Zhuangyuan is an official in the imperial court, but he is really busy with affairs, and he can't go back to rest so late." Song Xiaocheng said with both admiration and envy.
Shen Xi smiled slightly: "If I take up my duties in the future, the sixth brother may go to the yamen to do things, and the sixth brother should not be tired at that time." ”
Song Xiaocheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and even his waist straightened a lot, and he said with a lot of spirit: "I can't ask for it, how can I be tired?" ”
Shen Xi didn't say anything more, asked Tang Hu to take the gift, and took the two of them through the streets and alleys to the door of the house, then took the gift and asked Song Xiaocheng and Tang Hu to go back to the inn to rest earlier.
When he got home, except for Zhu Shan, who was still waiting at the door, Lin Dai, Ning Er and Xiu'er were already asleep, but Xie Yun'er, the titular lady, was waiting for him in the medical book.
Seeing that Shen Xi was full of alcohol, Xie Yun'er frowned slightly, and hurriedly instructed Zhu Shan to go out to fetch well water and enter the room, and then brought the towel over and let Shen Xi wipe his face and sober up by himself.
Shen Xi didn't feel it outside, but when he got home, he felt dizzy and heavy, Xie Yun'er just went to the kitchen to bring the food left into the room, and Shen Xi was already asleep on the bed.
"Xianggong?"
Xie Yun'er wanted to wake Shen Xi up for dinner, but she was afraid of waking him up, and the voice of the call was a gentle drizzle. Seeing that Shen Xi had no intention of waking up, Xie Yun'er had no choice but to hand over the food to Zhu Shan and let Zhu Shan take it back to the kitchen, while she turned Shen Xi's body over, helped Shen Xi relax his boots, pushed them right, and then took a towel to help Shen Xi wipe his hands and face.
Shen Xi felt comfortable all over his body, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Xie Yun'er holding his wrist and helping him wipe it, Shen Xi was a little drunk, and wanted to reach over, but found that his hands and feet were weak.
Xie Yun'er noticed that Shen Xi had woken up, and put down his wrist with a little shame, but the person didn't leave, helped Shen Xi cover the quilt, and returned to the desk, with the help of the dim light of the tung oil lamp, and continued to read the medical book.
"Lady, aren't you sleeping?"
Shen Xi wanted to sit up, but he didn't have the strength, so he had to ask softly.
Xie Yun'er said: "Xianggong should rest first...... The concubine is not sleepy, and she will sleep later. ”
Shen Xi knew that Xie Yun'er was not sleepy, but she saw that he was drunk, and she was afraid that he would lift the quilt and catch a cold, or vomit at night, so she stayed by the side. Shen Xi wanted to ask Xie Yun'er to go back to her room to rest, but she was a little reluctant in her heart.
If you want to say that the childhood sweethearts have no guesses, the relationship between Shen Xi and Lin Dai is naturally closer, but if you talk about being gentle and virtuous, Lin Dai is a girl who has just opened her mind after all, and the gap between her and Xie Yun'er is not half a star.
Shen Xi held his aching head and said, "Then the husband will sleep first, if the lady is tired, just go to bed and sleep." ”
Shen Xi deliberately said something a little ambiguous, as if inviting Xie Yun'er to sleep together, but Xie Yun'er deliberately kept her distance from him after arriving in the capital, and the relationship between the two could never go further.
When Shen Xi lay down, he remembered one thing, "The lady remembers to wake me up early tomorrow, and I will go to the palace early in the morning to go to the feast." ”
Xie Yun'er's voice was soft: "The concubine remembers, the princess will go to bed early." ”
Shen Xi sighed, in the end, he still respected each other like a guest.
……
……
Shen Xi woke up early the next morning, it was dark outside the window, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Yun'er sitting on the edge of the bed, sleeping with her head resting on the edge of the bed.
"It's finally my turn."
It was the jade man who took care of him last night, and now he is the one who takes care of the jade man, Shen Xi wanted to help Xie Yun'er to lie down on the bed, but she didn't expect her to wake up as soon as her hand touched Xie Yun'er's skin.
Xie Yun'er rubbed her eyes and looked confused: "Xianggong got up so early?" ”
"You go to sleep first, I'll be complimentary." Shen Xi said softly.
"Oh!"
Xie Yun'er was relieved, her body was really sleepy, and it was a little cold in the morning, so she directly got into Shen Xiyan's bed that had been warmed all night without any hesitation, and fell asleep.
Shen Xi walked out of the room by himself, only to hear the sound of "bang", but it was Zhu Shan who got up early and lifted two stone locks weighing forty pounds each in the courtyard to exercise his arm strength.
If you want to say that the person with the best life rules in this family has to count Zhu Shan, or because you don't need to use your brain, you only need to rest for two or three hours a day, and you are happy and carefree all day long.
"Young master, I'll cook for you."
Zhu Shan was very happy to see Shen Xi coming out, because no one in the family would get up so early on weekdays, and he was about to be courteous, when his expression suddenly darkened, "But Miss Ke and Sister Ning'er always say that the food I cook is not delicious." ”
Shen Xi smiled.
Zhu Shan is good at everything, but she is too stupid and slow to learn things, she can cook by herself in the mountains, but after all, there are only green vegetables and radishes on the mountain, and she even relies on wild vegetables for half a year to satisfy her hunger, so her cooking skills are quite average.
Shen Xi said: "Wasn't there any leftovers yesterday?" I'll eat a little bit to pad my stomach, and I'm going to go to the yamen early today and enter the palace to face the saint! ”
"Wow, the young master is so powerful, and I want to see the emperor again......"
Zhu Shan cheered, and then lowered her head a little gloomily, she felt that she didn't do anything at home and still ate and dress well, and if she didn't work for Shen Xi, she would not be able to repay her at all, so she thought about it and said, "I'll make the food hot." ”
"Okay, but just a little hot, don't bother too much, remember to help me grab a little pickled cabbage, so that the rice will be fragrant." Shen Xi didn't dampen Zhu Shan's enthusiasm, and smiled and agreed.
"Okay!"
Zhu Shan grinned happily: "Yes, young master, I also think that the rice is fragrant with kimchi......"
Seeing Zhu Shan's bright smile, Shen Xi had to admit that Zhu Shan was very fresh and beautiful, her smile was absolutely not mixed with the slightest impurity, and there was no one in the world who was more innocent than her smile.
……
……
After a brief breakfast, Shen Xi changed into court clothes and went to Hanlin Courtyard.
Shen Xi originally wondered whether the prince would attend, but after arriving at the Hanlin Academy, he heard Zhu Xizhou and others say that the prince would not participate in today's banquet because he had just recovered from his illness, but the daily lectures in the East Palace were not interrupted on weekdays, and the prince was not worried about not being able to contact orthodox education.
As soon as Hanlin was about to go to the palace gate, Zhu Xizhou walked to Shen Xi's desk and said softly: "Shen Xiu, yesterday's Shouning Marquis asked about the old things of Hongwu and Yongle, most of them were related to His Majesty's questions at today's feast, are you prepared?" ”
Shen Xi listened to Zhu Xizhou's tone, and expected that he had asked Wang Zan and the others in advance, and he was afraid that the Hanlin Academy would have a different tone, so he greeted him in advance.
In some questions that are not easy to answer, no matter which yamen in the imperial court, it is basically a strategy of "advancing and retreating together".
Shen Xi shook his head slightly: "When I first entered the Hanlin Academy, there were many unknown historical materials in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so I asked Brother Zhu to mention more." ”
Zhu Xizhou showed a look of "count you as acquaintances", and instructed: "No matter what Your Majesty asks, we will answer with 'Prince Yiwen, Taizu inherits the throne of Taizong', then there should be no problem." ”
Shen Xi nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: "I'm different from you, I was forced by Xie Qian to jump out and act as a forest bird, no matter how you keep your mouth shut, if the emperor asks me, I can only tell the truth, otherwise it will contradict my previous script." ”
Shen Xi could only hope for Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, at this time, if Zhang Heling could say what he needed to say for him, Emperor Hongzhi might not mention the matter of this book.
Even if the recital is brought up, it may not be said that he wrote it.
In the end, Emperor Hongzhi got his wish, set things right, restored the Jianwen era, and praised the scholars of the world, and he did not have to bear the sin, and he could still receive special attention and promotion and appointment from Emperor Hongzhi in the future, then everyone was happy.
But if you think about it, it's not easy to make everyone happy.
When you arrive at the palace gate, you need to wait a little before entering.
The princes and nobles, the cabinet scholars, and the six scholars were not among them, but the officials who were suspended in the Hanlin Academy, including Wang Wei, Jiao Fang, Li Jie, and others, were all there.
These acolytes and acolytes occasionally appeared as sutra speakers.
However, because Cheng Minzheng, who knew about the feast, was dismissed and imprisoned, who presided over the feast this time, the outside world does not know, according to the rules, the cabinet scholars are generally not responsible for the feast.
But judging from the current situation, it is not Wang Wei who comes out to preside, that is, he has to choose one of the three cabinet scholars, otherwise the others really do not have this qualification.
Wang Wei is the most famous person in the Hanlin Academy, and after Cheng Minzheng was dismissed, he is currently the temporary head of the Hanlin Academy.
But Shen Xi guessed that it was more likely that the emperor sent Xie Qian to preside, because it had always been Xie Qian who had come forward in the matter of restoring the Jianwen era.
Xie Qian is tactful, not as old-fashioned as Liu Jian, and not as principled as Li Dongyang, and letting others preside over it will definitely not achieve the intention of Emperor Hongzhi.
Moreover, until the matter is publicly discussed, Emperor Hongzhi will not tell too many people about this matter.
Xie Qian is the one who knows the whole story and keeps it a secret for Emperor Hongzhi for the time being. Although Wang Wei also knows the truth of the matter, in terms of prestige, there is a certain gap between him and Xie Qian after all.
