After chatting with his father for nearly half an hour, Xu Yan didn't want to disturb his rest anymore and took the initiative to retreat.

When he came to the flower hall, he saw that Shen Mingchen was still there, so he came up.

"Jia Ze, I really have to thank you this time."

Xu Yan said sincerely.

Shen Mingchen waved his hand again and again: "What is this that the teacher said." When the student saw that Ling Zun was sick, if he didn't come to the rescue, would he still be a person? ”

"Anyway, I wrote down your kindness. By the way, how did you get to know Doctor Gao? ”

"Haha, that's a long story. To put it simply, our two families are world friends. ”

"I see."

"The master rushed back to Ningbo this time, it seems that the great master is also coming soon, right?"

Shen Mingchen said curiously.

"Of course, the Great Grandmaster will come to Ningbo in a few days."

Xu Yan said eloquently: "The great master put the third stop of the academy examination in Ningbo, and it seems that he is still very optimistic about Ningbo scholars. ”

Shen Mingchen, who is also from Ningbo, said proudly: "Ningbo Shizi is no worse than Hangzhou, of course, it is slightly worse than Shaoxing." ”

Although Shen Mingchen was very proud, he also had to admit the gap between the two governments.

Shaoxing Mansion is the same super school as Ji'an Mansion, and there are countless Jinshi.

"By the way, Teacher, have you heard that a major incident has happened in Jingshi recently."

Shen Mingchen suddenly said mysteriously.

"Huh?"

"I heard that there was a fire in Ouchi and many temples were burned, and the Holy One was furious about it."

Shen Mingchen swallowed and spitted at the mouth, "I also heard this from a friend in Beijing, you can listen to it, but don't talk outside." ”

Xu Yan nodded: "I still understand this truth as a teacher." ”

In fact, there have been many inexplicable fires in the Jiajing Dynasty. Looking at Emperor Jiajing in this way, it is unlucky enough.

Some are man-made, and some are because the roof was struck by lightning.

After all, the main material of the Forbidden City Hall is wood, and it is easy to cause a fire in the sky without good lightning protection measures.

Emperor Jiajing was also a king who cultivated the Tao and cultivated the mysteries, and he was very sensitive to this kind of thing.

He will think that this is a warning from heaven to him, and he will start fasting to show his sincerity to God.

Perhaps presciently, he felt that the Forbidden City was really unlivable, and Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan early to live. Therefore, the Ouchi fire did not have a direct impact on him.

It's just that I can't see that Shen Mingchen still has gossip attributes, and Xu Yan really didn't expect it.

"Hey, when today's son is dedicated to cultivating, he hasn't been to the court for many years. State affairs are handled by the cabinet, and it is no wonder that God is angry in the long run. ”

There was no one in private, and Shen Mingchen couldn't help but complain.

"It's not like Kaze's style."

Xu Yan paused and said, "Besides, although Your Majesty is not in the court, it does not mean that he will not deal with state affairs. Your Majesty will definitely see the results of the cabinet's handling, otherwise wouldn't Daming have been in chaos long ago? ”

Although Emperor Jiajing did not go to court in the middle and late periods, he was still fundamentally different from Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Jiajing will personally check all major matters, in fact, the situation in the court is under his control, and the civil officials are also played by him. Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Xu Jie, which one is not a human spirit, but dare to play tricks with Emperor Jiajing?

Emperor Wanli's wrist is much worse, not only can he not fight the civil and official groups, but he is also scolded for his blood.

It can be said that Emperor Jiajing did not go to court in order to enjoy life and cultivate for immortality. And the Wanli Emperor was more vindictive.

One is active and the other is passive.

Shen Mingchen thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.

"That's right. Anyway, I don't have to bear it when the sky falls, what do I care. Eat and drink, compose poems and poems, and live a short life and be happy. ”

Xu Yan said in his heart, this is the attitude that Shen Mingchen should have.

Isn't it much more chic to be a poet than to be an official?

"I really envy Kaze."

"Don't learn from me. I'm used to being idle, and I can't change it anymore. The teacher is still so young, he should still take the test to serve the imperial court. ”

Shen Mingchen didn't want to affect Xu Yan's choice of path because of himself, so he hurriedly added.

"Don't worry, you know what to do."

"The Great Grandmaster is coming, and he should go to Fucheng. Do you want to go and stay in advance? ”

"It doesn't have to be. Dinghai County is not too far from the capital city, so it is enough to go one day in advance. I want to spend more time with my father these days. ”

"Also, the teacher is really filial."

The two chatted with themselves again, and Shen Mingchen took the initiative to leave.

Xu Yan personally went to decoct the medicine for his father, and after decocting the medicine, he waited for his father to take it before he was willing to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Xu Yan decocted the medicine for his father as usual, and then personally served him to take the medicine.

After that, he went to breakfast and went to study.

After reading for half an hour, he began to practice the article, imitating Mr. Qian's writing style, of course.

As soon as the article was halfway written, the little scholar hurriedly came to report that someone from the Ningbo Mansion had asked him to go to the city quickly.

The current prefect of Ningbo is the former Dinghai County Commander Zhao Ruohai.

With his relationship with Governor Zhao, he should be informed of anything important immediately.

Zhao Ruohai is calling him to Fucheng now, there must be something important.

Xu Yan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the flower hall to meet people.

The official who came met with Xu Yan, and when he saw that someone was coming, he took out a handwritten letter from Zhao Zhifu and carefully handed it to Xu Yan.

"Young Master Xu, Zhao Fuzun said. All you have to do is read this letter to understand. ”

Xu Yan nodded and said thank you.

He did not shy away from opening the letter in front of the officials, taking out the letter paper and unfolding it to read.

The letter was not long, and Xu Yan burned it after reading it.

"When will Fu Zun say he will leave?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Let me go and tell my parents." ”

The official nodded: "Xu Gongzi, please." ”

To be honest, Xu Yan didn't want to go to Fucheng so early, and staying in Dinghai County to serve his father more than one day a day. Otherwise, he would have left with Shen Mingchen a long time ago.

It can only be said that the plan can't catch up with the changes!

But Governor Zhao had already said so in the letter, and it would be too unreasonable for him to delay.

After all, Governor Zhao is also half of his teacher, so he still has to give this face.

Xu Yan sighed and went to report this emergency to his father and mother.

Although Xu Huaiyuan was reluctant, it was difficult to stop him.

"My son must take care of himself."

Xu Yan said with a smile: "Father rest assured, son can take care of himself." You have to take your medicine on time. ”

"Haha, my son is really filial. When you come back from Fucheng, your father's illness will be cured. ”

"A word?"

"Haha, it's a deal."
