Tang Bohu walked away in disgrace, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss since he entered Beijing, not only his confidence was damaged, but even his body was injured, and even the servants who came out with him also suffered...... One of the people raised martial arts, and one beat them together.

The news soon spread throughout the capital.

Almost overnight, Tang Bohu went from being admired and envied by others to being ridiculed and ridiculed by others.

There are many people who come to the Minsheng Teahouse, appreciate the landscape paintings made by Shen Xi and Tang Bohu, and make a judgment of superiority and inferiority, so that this Minsheng Teahouse has become a must-visit attraction for people to enter Beijing.

Just when the capital spread the story of Shen Xi and Tang Bohu's fight, Shen Xi was a little worried in his heart.

Because in this matter, he seems to be too high-profile, in the case of knowing the examination questions, if he wants to achieve excellent results in this examination of the Ministry of Rites involving the question, the best way is to be low-key, low-key, and low-key, and he did not participate in the Wenhui after arriving in the capital, which is also because of this.

But this incident made him out of the limelight, and even many famous calligraphers and painters went to Minsheng Teahouse to see his and Tang Bohu's paintings, and their basic opinions were ...... Shen Xi's attainments in calligraphy and painting are even above Tang Bohu.

The shot shot is a bird in the head, which is a sign of extreme danger.

It is getting closer and closer to the date of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, Shen Xi has received too many invitations in the past few days, he has become famous in the capital almost overnight, and many people want to know what this descendant who came to the examination at the age of thirteen is like.

If you want to talk about those invitations that invite him to attend the cultural conference, he could have excused himself on the grounds of preparing for the exam, but there was one letter, but he couldn't refuse.

The unlucky Jiang Ying was imprisoned for a few days, and after the intercession of cabinet minister Liu Jian and others, the emperor was extra gracious and released Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying has suffered a lot in the prison of the Criminal Department in the past few days, and the small officials below want to convince the cabinet ministers and impose a punishment on Jiang Ying.

When Jiang Ying came out, the students who were preparing for the exam discussed it. I decided to pay a visit, which was also to show that the students of Guozijian are a family.

After all, the other inmates haven't had a vacation at this time, so they can't get out, and only the students have time to go.

Sun Xiliang served as one of the liaisons. sent a letter to Shen Xi and asked Shen Xi to visit him together.

Shen Xi thought about it, in the end, people were fighting with the powerful to cause accidents, public opinion was sympathetic, and others went to him. That seems maverick and has a bad impact.

On the third day of the second lunar month, Shen Xi bought a little gift, went to the place where he met Sun Xiliang, and saw this roommate who had been with him for ten days in Taixue again.

The first thing Sun Xiliang did when he saw Shen Xi was to ask Shen Xi for the manuscript of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".

“…… What do you want to do with those things? You're about to take the exam, do you still have the heart to read those idle books? Shen Xi didn't quite understand Sun Xiliang's thinking.

Sun Xiliang said with a smile: "With a student of my age, it would be beneficial to be able to study in Guozi for a few more years, as for whether I can pass the test." And why force it? It's the manuscript of "Liao Zhai", which is always thinking about it these days, and it's hard to sleep and eat......"

Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, this is going to face the exam, and Sun Xiliang is still thinking about reading novels. He sighed and said, "I'll give it to you when I return to school, I'm busy reading these days, and I don't have time to write." ”

Sun Xiliang said: "Don't fool me, when I haven't heard of your prestige these days?" The whole capital has spread all over the city, and you are fighting with Tang Yin. As a result, Tang Yin lost to you, so you must remember to write a few new drafts when you look back...... Alas, if any of us had passed the test at this rite meeting, we wouldn't have had a chance to see it again in the future...... What a pity! ”

Shen Xi slandered: It's a pity that it's you. It definitely won't be me.

Shen Xi and Sun Xiliang talked all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the small courtyard where Jiang Ying was staying.

Jiang Ying is not from the capital, and after being released from the prison of the Criminal Department, he was placed in a small courtyard by Jinyiwei to recuperate. The people who came to visit him after hearing the news were not only students of Guozi School, but also some celebrities.

Jiang Ying suddenly in this alternative way. became a celebrity in the capital, and many people praised him for his courage and courage, but they didn't know that this person just wanted to be majestic and fortunate in another way.

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where Jiang Ying lived, Shen Xi glanced at the two brocade guards guarding the door, and couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Xiliang glanced at the martial arts guard vigilantly, then looked at Shen Xi and asked, "What do you regret?" ”

Shen Xi looked back at Sun Xiliang and didn't reply, in fact, he regretted Jiang Ying's fate. This Jiang Ying is a little-known figure in history, one thing is that he impeached Liu Jian and Li Dongyang for blocking the way of speech, and after being imprisoned, he was released again, and he was actually promoted and appointed.

Or it was the sweetness of this impeachment of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, the second time Jiang Ying participated in the early years of Zhengde, but it was Liu Jin, the great eunuch who was in power at that time.

Liu Jin is not a righteous gentleman like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and in the end, Jiang Ying was caned by the court and died outside the noon gate, which is also considered to be the name of his minister, and he died well.

Shen Xi and Sun Xiliang entered the small courtyard after passing through the brocade guards guarding the door. There were many people who came to visit Jiang Ying on this day, and Shen Xi and Sun Xiliang didn't have any friendship with Jiang Ying, they just paid a courtesy visit, and they came out less than half an hour after entering.

……

……

In the first month, there is another major event in the capital, that is, Ma Wensheng, who has been in the northwest for several years, has returned to the dynasty.

Marven was born as a scholar, and later awarded the imperial history, according to Shanxi, Huguang, and later moved to Fujian according to the inspector, and then promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and entered the right squire of the military department. He also served as the governor of Liaodong, the imperial history of the right capital, and the governor Caoyun, and served as the secretary of the military department in the early years of Hongzhi.

The Hami region in the northwest is the place where the Hui and the Wu'er ethnic minorities live, and the central government set up a guard in the place where the central government set up a guard in the place, and named its leader as the king of loyalty and righteousness.

During the Chenghua period, the Tulu Pan Department was strong and possessed Hami. The Ming court tried to intervene, but to no avail, and seemed to admit the status quo and move Hamiwei elsewhere. In the first year of Hongzhi, the Tulu Fan Department booby-trapped the loyal king Hanshen who was appointed by the imperial court. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, he captured another Zhongshun king, Shaanba, whose leader Aheima proclaimed himself Khan, and plundered the surrounding tribes with troops.

Ma Wensheng, who presided over the military administration, advocated the revival of Hami. He adopted the suggestion of the general Wang Ying and the commander Yang Zhu, and took advantage of the contradictions between the eastern part of Han, which was located in the southwest of Jiayuguan, and the Chijin and Mongolian tribes, which were located west of Jiayuguan, and the Tulufan department, and used them. At the turn of the spring and summer of the previous year, Ma Wen promoted Handong and other troops to attack Hami City at night. Xu Jin, the governor of Shaanxi nominated by Ma Wensheng, led the Ming army to march later. The Turpan defenders abandoned the city. The Ming army entered Hami. This was the first time since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that the official army had penetrated deep into the Western Regions.

Ma Wensheng, as the secretary of the military department, has commanded the army in the northwest for many years, and can be regarded as a battle-hardened Confucian general. After the recovery of Hami. It took another two years to deter the ethnic minorities in the northwest, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty was extended to the west for more than 3,000 miles.

After Marven returned to the court, the first thing he did was to report to Emperor Hongzhi, and then go home to enjoy the joy of family.

Because of Ma Wensheng's status in the DPRK. When many people learned that he had returned, they wanted to visit, but he refused.

On this day, Liu Daxia came, and he was quite interested in personally greeting him out.

In addition to Ma Wensheng's desire to meet his old friends and play chess together, he also wanted to talk about the case of grain theft from the treasury, because of this case, the Northwest soldiers almost couldn't come back hungry. In the first few years, thanks to Liu Daxia's management of military salaries, the soldiers in the northwest were fed and clothed, and finally returned victorious.

Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia still play chess. Between the siege of the city, the strategy of both sides is tested.

Both of them are scheming, between the chess faces, Ma Wensheng is the main attack, Liu Daxia is the main defense, the attack is sharp, and the defense is also leaky.

However, in comparison, Ma Wensheng's chess skills are more clever, and his chess speed is relatively fast, but it is Liu Daxia, who is the main guard. Often a move has to be considered for a long time.

Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia are old friends after all, in addition to the competition on the chess surface, they will also use some "off-board moves" when Liu Daxia is thinking about the next move. He will keep talking to Liu Daxia.

“…… This year's Ministry of Rites will take the exam, and the students in the capital are gathered, and it is very lively, so there should be a lot of people visiting your house, right? Ma Wensheng asked.

Liu Daxia looked at the chess surface, wanted to take a step, and shook his head slightly. One wrong move is a loss, so he is cautious in every move, trying not to be interfered with by Ma Wensheng, but no matter how he says that Ma Wensheng is a Shangguan, if he has something to ask, he has to answer.

Liu Daxia said: "I don't work for the Ministry of Rites, how can I raise my son to go to me?" A few wolfdogs at the gate of the courtyard can scare them away. ”

The two of them talked to each other without saying a word, but on the chess side, Ma Wensheng's advantage gradually increased, although the two sides were only one horse apart, but with the middle game, the attacker crossed the river with two horses, and it was already stretched to defense. Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "This taste is stubborn, but there is no good fruit to eat...... Checkmate! ”

Although it is not a dead move, the handsome leave the nest, and the defender is even more passive.

"In the first few days, Ying Tianfu Township tried to solve the Yuan, and Fujian Township tried to solve the Yuan in the capital, and the matter was in an uproar, and even a few domestic servants were talking about it in private...... Have you heard? Ma Wensheng asked suddenly.

Liu Daxia smiled and bowed slightly: "That Shen Xi is a smart child." ”

Ma Wensheng said with a smile: "The original surname is Shen, no wonder ......"

Liu Daxia had already raised the chess piece, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help but put it down, raised his head and glanced at Ma Wensheng, and asked with a little annoyance: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ma Wensheng pretended to be at a loss: "I don't mean anything else, but I don't regret it, you have to think about where to land this move......

Only then did Liu Daxia know that this was Ma Wensheng's "off-the-board move", so he immediately collected his mind and continued to play chess: "In the first year, there were people in the Yamen of the Fujian Metropolitan Division, who stole and sold grain and trafficked people. In order to avoid startling the snake, I took advantage of this kid, who knows that although he is young, he is decisive in his work, and his tactics are very accurate, and he is a bit of a ghost to say, if he enters the officialdom, maybe he will be a ruthless character......"

"Ruthless character, how ruthless can it be?"

Ma Wensheng obviously didn't think that a young man could do anything shocking. But when Liu Daxia said that Shen Xi designed to trap Song Xi'er last year, Ma Wensheng's face was full of surprise, and after thinking about it, he unconsciously became less talking when playing chess.

It sounds unbelievable that a twelve-year-old child, when preparing for the township exam, could devise such a poisonous plan to trap the head of the local forces on one side and sink his body in the Minjiang River.

Ma Wensheng groaned: "In this way, it is rare, the old man has been in the army for many years, and he is a blood-stained warrior on the battlefield, and he is afraid that he will not have such courage when he is young." ”

Liu Daxia asked: "After all, he is a person, and he already has a reputation, and if he wants to be recruited, he can be transferred to the military department at any time." ”

Liu Daxia's proposal is very interesting, if Shen Xi can really come in handy, he can not let Shen Xi take the exam, and directly enter the military department as an official such as a director, although he can't be a big official, he can also show his ambitions. This also has an advantage, some people appreciate it, just like Jiang Liwei, the future is limitless.

Of course, it's not without harm, in the end, it's from the "B Branch", and if you do anything in the future, you won't be able to mix with the position of the six squires, Shangshu or cabinet ministers.

Ma Wensheng shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty has said that in the past few years, the main thing is to recuperate, and no longer use troops abroad, even if there is trouble at the border, I will not send old ministers like me again, and I will retire from the military department in a few years...... If you want to use it, you should use it yourself. Checkmate! Dead chess. ”

A game of chess ended for more than half an hour, the competition between the spear and the solid shield, and in the end, it was Ma Wensheng's spear that won.

Liu Daxia smiled and pushed the chess pieces: "Is there a dead chess?" ”

Two old friends, who have known each other for decades, are ministers in the same hall of the court, even if they can't form a party for personal gain, in the end it is the relationship between the old superiors and subordinates, and occasionally there will be some tricks to play tricks.
