Chapter 83: Shen Shixing and Pan Sheng

The night is as quiet as water!

As a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, Shen Shixing's mansion is not very luxurious, and the courtyard of Sanjin is not big compared to his identity.

In the courtyard of the back house, there is a snowflake pear tree that is very old.

Shen Shixing likes this pear tree very much, in spring, the pear blossoms are like snow, and they fall to the ground when the wind blows, which looks very comfortable. In autumn, the yellow-green leaves fall in the wind, showing the gloom of autumn.

Sydney pears are delicious, whether they are eaten directly or put in a jar to make pear wine, the taste is very good, mellow and delicious.

Put a jar of pear wine on the table, put a few side dishes, and drink a pot in the night, which has a unique taste and mood in it. This night, Shen Shixing once again put on the wine and side dishes, waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Under the guidance of the old family, Pan Sheng, a scholar of the Cabinet University, walked in and said to Shen Shixing with a smile: "The old man is good Yaxing!" ”

Glancing at Pan Sheng, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Siming is here, sit, taste my self-brewed pear blossom wine." This jar was brewed when I first arrived in the capital, and now that I think about it, it can be regarded as some years. ”

"Then Siming is disrespectful!" Pan Sheng sat down with a smile and spoke.

The two of them drank and admired the moon, talked about the past and the present, and also chatted about calligraphy and painting.

These two people are the leaders of the imperial examination, Shen Shixing is the champion, and Pan Sheng is the leader, although they are not the same class, but they are both the best among them. He has good attainments in calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, and Pan Sheng's character was also praised by Xu Wenchang as a unique step in the southeast.

The two of them can be regarded as having a common topic together, and chatting about the world is naturally quite pleasant.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Shen Shixing glanced at Pan Sheng, and said seemingly indifferently: "What does Siming think of His Majesty's civil servant this time?" ”

Pan Sheng was stunned for a moment, and put down the wine glass casually, he knew that Shen Shixing would not find himself to drink for no reason, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ge Lao, you should know my attitude." ”

Glancing at Pan Sheng, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Hasn't changed? ”

"Nothing has changed!" Pan Sheng did not hesitate, nodded solemnly.

Pan Sheng's tendency, of course, Shen Shixing knows that compared to Yu Youding, Pan Sheng is a staunch reformer. For so many years, Pan Sheng has always felt that it is time for the Ming Dynasty to reform, and many places coincide with Zhang Juzheng, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would not recommend Pan Sheng.

"Ge Lao, you know, I am not as old as Zhang Ge in many places."

In Pan Sheng's mouth, Zhang Ge could only refer to Zhang Juzheng.

"Reformers of the past generations, what will happen in the end, I don't need to say, the elder also knows." Pan Sheng said with a wry smile: "The best ones in the end are Wang Wengong and Fan Wenzhenggong, right?" ”

"But even this second father, in his old age, all his ambitions have turned into running water."

Shen Shixing glanced at Pan Sheng and said with a smile: "Are you worried about Zhang Wengong?" ”

This time, Shen Shixing's title for Zhang Juzheng was also directly changed to Zhang Wengong, the meaning was obvious, and Zhang Juzheng and Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan were directly juxtaposed.

Turning his head to look at Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng said with a smile: "Elder Ge has made a decision?" ”

"There's got to be a decision!" Shen Shixing sighed and said, then drank another glass of wine, and said a little gloomy: "Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn, and by this time we have not much to ask for." ”

Pan Sheng glanced at Shen Shixing and said with a smile: "Elder Ge thinks you can get it?" ”

"What do you think?" Shen Shixing did not answer Pan Sheng's question, but looked at Pan Sheng with burning eyes.

"Many people say that my official road is not smooth, and it is difficult to advance and easy to retreat, but who knows that sometimes, this determination is not easy to make." Pan Sheng sighed and said: "There are not many people in the world who are brave and courageous. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "There are not many people in the world who are like Zhang Wengong, but there are not many people like Your Majesty. ”

Pan Sheng picked up the wine glass, poured a glass for Shen Shixing, and then said with a smile: "For this reason, be a big white!" ”

The two men looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time drank the wine from their glasses.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun has focused on civil servants these days, but now it is only the registration stage, and he can't help much. Reaching out to pick up a copy of the fold, Zhu Yijun looked through it, and his heart moved.

"It's a bit interesting!"

The person who put on this recital is Pan Sheng, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and behind it is the annotation of Shen Shixing, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the Cabinet, which is not a lot of words, only one "may", and it is obvious that Shen Shixing agrees with what this recital says.

The above things are also very simple, that is, to repair the ancestral hall and repair the ancestral hall for Zhang Juzheng.

In front of the recital, Pan Sheng listed Zhang Juzheng's exploits, and then said that he would repair the shrine for Zhang Juzheng and enjoy the worship of future generations.

Such a memorabilia seems nothing at first, but after a closer look, Zhu Yijun found it unusual, especially at this time. Stretching out his hand to tap on the fold, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It seems that something is going to be done!" ”

Glancing at Zhang He, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Go and invite a few cabinet scholars." ”

The four cabinet scholars came quickly, and they didn't know what Zhu Yijun was looking for them, but since they had found it, it must be a big deal! When Pan Sheng saw the share in Zhu Yijun's hand, he was slightly stunned, and then glanced at Shen Shixing.

Of course, Shen Shixing also noticed the twist, but he didn't move.

"I'm looking for you Aiqing today, for this twist!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "This piece of music is from Pan Aiqing, you can circulate it!" As he spoke, he handed the fold to Zhang He.

The fold first came to Shen Shixing's hand, but Shen Shixing didn't look at it, but said with a smile: "This fold is my vote!" ”

Pan Sheng didn't look at it, so only Yu Youding and Chen Wei were left, and the two of them quickly browsed the folds, with no expression on their faces. Yu Youding didn't care, but Chen Ji's heart sank.

To Zhang Juzheng's ancestral hall?

Zhu Yijun said with a light smile: "Pan Aiqing said that he wanted to repair the ancestral hall for Mr. Zhang, I think it is very good, and I also think that Mr. Zhang is worthy of such a merit." But after so many years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are not a few people who can match this achievement! ”

"Anyway, if you want to repair the ancestral hall, then it's better to repair it together, and I'm going to build a loyal ancestral hall."

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all the loyal and honest ministers have been included in the Loyal Shrine to highlight their merits and serve as a model for future generations."

Originally, Zhu Yijun still wanted to revise "The Legend of the Traitorous Minister", but when he thought of the "Legend of the Traitorous Minister" of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhu Yijun still dispelled this idea. This is not easy to measure, it is better to use the Zhongzheng Temple to show merit.

The four cabinet scholars were all stunned, Xiuzhong Ancestral Hall? That's a good thing!

Who doesn't want to leave a name after death, as the so-called name will remain in history, once you enter the Zhongzheng Temple, it must be famous in history.

If the civil service system is supported by the scholars at the bottom, then the Zhongzheng Temple must be the higher the level, the more supportive. Because they are high-level, the better their chances of entering the Loyal Shrine, which is a good thing!

Chen Wei was not ready to object at this time.

If it is said that Zhang Juzheng cultivates the temple alone, he can't accept it, but if he cultivates it all, then he can accept it. He is also a good name, he is now a cabinet scholar, and after his death, he is also qualified to enter the Loyal Ancestral Hall.

"These courtiers who have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty are all contributing to the Ming Dynasty, so the money for cultivating the Loyal Ancestral Hall will come out."

Zhu Yijun saw that no one objected, so he said with a smile: "Pan Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to you to preside, first get a drawing out, and then report it to me." ”

"Obey the order!" Pan Sheng nodded, bowed and said.

The imperial court wanted to repair the Loyal Ancestral Hall, and after the news spread, public opinion was naturally boiling, and the matter of civil servants was quickly suppressed. Although civil servants are real government, and the Zhongzheng Temple is virtual, but the scholars of this era are much more important to look at the Zhongzheng Temple than to look at civil servants.

The so-called people have left their names, geese have left their voices, and the face and reputation of the scholars are precious like life.

Many people don't even want their lives, but they can't do without fame, although there are many pedantic people in it, but this is the truth.

The emperor paid for it, which was even more blameless, and the court suddenly praised it. All the compliments of the day were carried in boxes. The ladies are also full of praise, especially the families that have been officials for generations.

These people have all had big officials in their ancestors, and their energy cannot be underestimated.

Who doesn't want to repair the ancestral hall for their ancestors, and their own family cultivation does not count, this is into the Zhongzheng Ancestral Hall, that is, the glory of the ancestors and the fame of the world. Pan Sheng was in charge of this matter, and his mansion instantly became a big hit.

Cabinet duty room.

Shen Shixing looked at Pan Sheng with a smile: "Siming, the door of your mansion is about to be broken, right?" ”

Pan Sheng also said helplessly: "If the elder is envious, why don't I give it to Your Majesty and hand over this matter to the elder pavilion?" ”

"Spare me!" Shen Shixing said with a smile: "My old bones can't bear their toss, or Siming You are young and strong, with outstanding ability, and you are saying that the holy order is difficult, so you should do it!" ”

Pan Sheng shook his head helplessly: "I'll still go to the Ministry of Industry, take out the drawings as soon as possible, and give it to Your Majesty when the time comes!" ”

Looking at Pan Sheng's back, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, and there will be a headache for him later." ”

Pan Sheng was harassed on his side, and Zhu Yijun didn't stop on his side, but it was Xungui who harassed Zhu Yijun. The nobles are not for themselves, but for their ancestors. Since the Zhongzheng Temple has been repaired, what should I do on Xungui's side?

Ministers of all generations can enter the Loyal Shrine, so we also demand the same treatment.

Our ancestors are the ones who have made great contributions, and they are either the founding heroes or the heroes of the martyrdom, and we also ask for the temple to be repaired.

Zhu Yijun didn't think about putting aside the honors from the beginning, so he directly gave them a reply, the Zhongzheng Ancestral Hall has no martial arts, only the meritorious service of the state, and they can all enter the ancestral hall. After receiving this reply, the nobles stopped.

However, with Pan Sheng busy, Zhu Yijun no longer paid attention to this matter, but turned to the side of civil servants.
