Seeing the little fat man Yang Pengju looking at himself pitifully, Xu Yan softened a little.

He nodded and said, "In that case, Brother Peng Juxian should stay first." ”

Yang Pengju got the promise, and immediately said with a smile: "It's still the eldest brother who is good to me!" ”

Xu Yanxin said, isn't it just to add an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks to the Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

The New Year's picture is a festive atmosphere, and now don't think about other entertainment activities during the state funeral, just sit together and have a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

To say that the Xu family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is really rich, there are all kinds of mountain and sea delicacies.

But what really made Xu Yan hungry was the bowl of wonton noodles.

Ever since he tasted this delicacy in Gushan Academy, Xu Yan couldn't put it down, and asked Mr. Qian for advice on how to do it, and then taught his own cook to do it.

Although this wonton noodle is one or two points worse than the original, the appearance and taste are already very good.

The three members of the Xu family plus Yang Pengju sat around a table, waiting for Xu Huaiyuan to speak.

I saw Xu Huaiyuan raise his cup and say loudly: "Happy New Year." ”

The other three also said, "Happy New Year." ”

After saying this, you can officially start eating.

Xu Yan couldn't wait for a long time, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating noodles.

Yang Pengju was even worse, and devoured it happily.

Xu Huaiyuan couldn't stop smiling when he saw such a scene.

"Big brother, this is the last day of Jiajing's twenty-sixth year. Tomorrow morning will be the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, you don't want to say something? ”

The little fat man didn't forget to joke during the meal break.

"Well, isn't this day just a day by day?"

Xu Yan really didn't deliberately think about this problem, if he had to set a small goal, it should be a more exciting life.

After all, living and living are two different things.

"It's worthy of being a big brother, what I said is that there is a level, and there is no leakage."

Yang Peng raised his grip on a greasy chicken leg and said with a grunt.

"What about you, what is your goal in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing?"

"Me?"

Yang Pengju put down the half-gnawed chicken leg in his hand, scratched his head with his greasy hand and said, "Eat more and sleep more, live a little happier." The most important thing in being a human being is to be happy. ”

Xu Yanxin said that although the little fat man didn't have much pursuit, he was telling the truth.

The most important thing is to be happy, and if you want more things, it is not beautiful.

...

...

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

In an inconspicuous mansion in the west city of Jingshi, Zhang Juzheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.

This bright moon in Huguang Jingzhou should be exactly the same as that of Jingshi, right?

Since he was born, he has spent more than 20 years of Chinese New Year's Eve with his family, and this is the first year he has traveled to Beijing and is thousands of miles away from his family.

His parents are getting older, but Zhang Juzheng can't be by his side to serve his filial piety, so his heart is naturally extremely painful.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and in order to be loyal, he can only choose to stay away from his hometown and stay in Beijing.

Shu Jishi has been in office for a few years, and he will definitely not be able to leave Beijing during this period, and there should be no chance if there is no accident in the award.

I don't know when I will have the opportunity to return to my hometown again.

In the past six months in the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Juzheng's main task is to revise history and classics, and he has a lot of free time.

When people are idle, they will inevitably think more and think more.

In Zhang Juzheng's view, today's Ming Dynasty seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent.

In the month of Layue, Qiu Luan, the chief soldier of Gansu, was impeached by the governor Zeng Mo for obstructing military affairs, embezzlement and bribery.

After that, the Son of Heaven ordered to arrest Qiu Luan and go to Beijing to interrogate the crime.

Qiu Luan was then imprisoned.

On the surface, this matter seems to be Qiu Luan's personal problem.

But those who know a little know understand that this impeachment was actually because of the discord between Governor Zeng and Qiu Luan.

Discord is caused by disagreement.

This disagreement naturally arose from the reconquest of the Loop.

Governor Zeng was a staunch rebel for the recovery of the Hetao, and had repeatedly written to the Son of Heaven to request the recovery of the Hetao. In November of the 26th year of Jiajing, Zeng Mo went to the book again.

Zeng Mo asked all the general soldiers of the military town under his jurisdiction to jointly sign the letter, and the rest of the general soldiers were all jointly signed, but Qiu Luan did not sign it.

This kind of unruly and unruly behavior completely angered Zeng Miao.

Although Zeng didn't say it, he must have been angry in his heart.

This is also human nature.

After all, the governor is a civilian official, and the chief soldier is a military attaché.

At the same level, military attachés are like ants in front of civilian officials.

Qiu Luan provoked Zeng Mill so much, how could he not be angry?

But Zhang Juzheng knew that the matter would not end there.

Because behind Qiu Luan is the cabinet minister Yan Song, and Zeng Mill's backer is Shoufu Xia Yan.

Although Xia Yan and Yan Song have not completely torn their faces, everyone knows that these two are incompatible.

It stands to reason that both of them are from Jiangxi, and they can be said to be fellow villagers, and the relationship should be good.

But the small friction between the two is constant.

It is said that before Yan Song entered the cabinet, he once invited Xia Yan, who was the first assistant at the time, to a banquet, but Xia Yan refused several times.

Yan Song is persevering and still continues to invite.

Finally one day, Xia Yan was "moved" by Yan Song's persistence and agreed to participate in the banquet.

Yan Song was overjoyed, made arrangements for bathing and changing clothes in advance, and told relatives and friends the news.

After being on duty in the previous dynasty, Xia Yan went home from the cabinet and excused himself to take a break.

Yan Song naturally didn't dare to say anything, and waited eagerly for Shoufu to come.

But he waited left and right, and when the banquet was over late at night, Xia Yan still didn't come.

Yan Song's words had already been spoken, and he had lost face in front of the guests, relatives and friends, so he naturally held a grudge against Xia Yan.

In Yan Song's opinion, Xia Yan didn't forget it at all, but deliberately wanted to humiliate him.

After this incident, Yan Song swore that he and Xia Yan would not be incompatible.

Now that Qiu Luan has been impeached by Xia Yan's henchmen, how can Yan Song sit still?

Isn't that tantamount to a slap in the face?

If it was placed before Yan Song entered the cabinet, Yan Song might still be forbearing, because the strength of him and Xia Yan was too different.

But now Yan Song is also a minister, and his power is on par with Xia Yan. It can be said that Xia Yan has no advantage over Yan Song except for the name of a first assistant.

Yan Song will definitely not give up on this matter.

The key is to see how he fights back.

Zhang Juzheng is worried about this.

Yan Song's struggle against Xia Yan was not just the two of them, but involved almost the entire court.

There are countless henchmen of their protégés, and if the two of them really start an attack, the court will definitely set off a bloody storm.

This is what Zhang Juzheng never wants to see.

It's a pity that he is just a gentleman now, and no one will listen to him if he speaks softly.

I only hope that the Holy Son of Heaven can re-take a personal photo, distinguish between right and wrong, and stop this dispute from the beginning.

Daming is no longer what it used to be, and it really can't stand the toss anymore.
