Lao Zhu and Ma Dajia stood on the stone steps of Kunning Palace, and saw Han Cheng leading a white-haired old man over, and before he arrived, the old man stopped and bowed, "Caomin Ye Dui to meet Your Majesty and Niangniang!" ”

"Hahaha......" Lao Zhu laughed and came down from the stone steps and personally picked up the old man, "Mr. Ye, please get up quickly, I haven't seen Mr. Ye as strong as in the past!" ”

The old man replied respectfully: "The grass people are old, and they have not seen His Majesty for eleven or twelve years, and he is already the lord of the world, especially in the past!" ”

"Haha...... Lao Zhu grabbed the old man's hand, "It's cold outside, sit in the gentleman's room." ”

The two walked to the front of the palace, and the old man saluted Ma Dajia again, and Ma Dajia actually bowed his knees and saluted back, "Your Majesty is overjoyed when I hear that Mr. Ye has come, and this palace will let people serve tea and prepare wine and food." ”

"There's Lao Niangniang!" The old man thanked him again, and entered the hall with Lao Zhu.

Not long after Ma Du arrived in Yingtian, Ma Dajia once listed a note for Ma Du, with several names written on it, so that Ma Du often came and went to be a good person for the family, including Ye Dui.

Ye Dui, a native of Ninghai County, Zhejiang, a family of poetry and books, his grandfather was a Jinshi in the Southern Song Dynasty during the Xianchun period, and he himself was also proficient in poetry and scriptures, astronomy and geography and divination (the great Confucians in the troubled times seem to understand this), but they have never tested the fame of Meng Yuan, let alone been an official of Meng Yuan.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the chaotic times were all over the place, and Ye Dui judged the situation and knew that Meng's vitality was about to run out. Although his hometown was controlled by Fang Guozhen at that time, Ye Dui thought that Fang Guozhen was not enough to achieve great things, so he made a detour to Yingtian to meet Lao Zhu.

Coincidentally, Lao Zhu was preparing to accept the canonization of the Mengyuan court at that time. Under Ye Dui's persuasion, Lao Zhu changed his mind and killed the envoy sent by Meng Yuan to canonize the mission. Ye Dui saw that Lao Zhu was a person who had achieved great things, so he offered his own strategy "One Outline and Three Strategies for Martial Affairs".

Its content includes specific strategies on how to eliminate Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen and pacify Fujian and Liangguang. Facts have proved that Ye Dui is a real talent, Lao Zhu all the way to conquer Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Liangguang is in accordance with his strategy, this outline is comparable to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair.

Such a person Lao Zhu naturally wants to keep it well, but Ye Dui is quite individual, seeing that Lao Zhu has already run home, at that time Ma Du was still trapped in Pingjiang City, and he didn't have time to get close to him according to Ma Dajia's explanation.

After Lao Zhu, he also recruited Ye Dui many times to let him come to the court to be an official, and Ye Dui did not shake it off, and only opened a museum at home to teach the children of the township. Ye Dui's sudden arrival made Lao Zhu happy, and naturally he was quite puzzled, thinking that the queen and the prince had pleaded for Song Lian before.

Because this Ye Dui and Song Lian have a deep friendship, this big man who came from Zhejiang must also intercede for Song Lian, if Ye Dui really pleads with him for Song Lian, Lao Zhu can only agree because he owes others.

Daming is his Zhu family, but he Zhu Yuanzhang is not the only one who pioneered, these people Lao Zhu thinks that he has no mistreatment, the living official Xu Jue, the crippled on the edge of the palace to settle down for the elderly and funeral, and those who died in the war are also posthumously rewarded with money and land for their families.

But this Mr. Ye strongly persuaded him to refuse the appeasement of the Mengyuan court, and later offered advice to help him pacify the country, but he did not touch half of the benefits of his old Zhu, and finally begged to come to the door, and let him refuse. Song Shen must not be spared, the rest of the Song family will have to be exiled if they don't die, this is the bottom line that Lao Zhu drew in his heart, just waiting for Ye Dui to speak.

Who knew that Ye Dui was talking to him, not the old things, he talked about the countryside, and even talked about poetry and songs with himself, but he didn't mention Song Lian's affairs, or even the government affairs of the court.

Lao Zhu couldn't hold his breath anymore, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. is here to answer the sky, isn't it for Song Jinglian to intercede?" ”

Ye Dui stroked his beard and said: "How can the court law be placed by Ye Moujie's grass people, and it is for him to come to Yingtian." ”

"Oh, Mr. Ye said to listen, if I can help, just ask."

"Huh...... This Yingtian came to the academy at the invitation of Zhu Fenglin to be the head of the mountain, and in the end, the royal academy always had to be nodded and agreed by His Majesty, so that the grass people could take over. ”

"Haha...... Zhu Fenglin has such a big face, I can't even invite Mr. Ye, he can actually move. ”

"Zhu Fenglin has written dozens of letters in order to invite the grass people, each letter is sprinkled with no more than a thousand words, describing Fang Shan as a blessed land in the world, and the academy is even more brilliant and bright, and the grass people can't help but take a look. Zhu Fenglin really didn't lie to me, the academy is a good place, and the students are a group of rare good children, the grass people are hot-eyed, and I ask Your Majesty for permission! Ye Dui got up from his seat and bowed to the ground in front of Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu said: "If Mr. can preside over the academy, I can't ask for it, but why did Zhu Fenglin let Xian, is he going back to his hometown to retire?" ”

Ye Dui sighed: "Mr. Fenglin has been writing letters to the grass people since last year, and the grass people can see that his pen power is getting weaker, and his handwriting is gradually scribbling. ”

Lao Zhu was silent when he heard this, and Ma Dajia said softly on the side: "Mr. Zhu could have returned to his hometown to retire, but he cultivated talents for the imperial court regardless of fame and fortune. ”

Lao Zhu nodded and said: "Spread my will, specially enter Zhu Shengguanglu Doctor, add a scholar of the palace, the prince and the young master, give a python robe and jade belt, I remember that he still has a second son who is an official, add a product to serve in the Ministry of Rites." The queen is so literate, you can draft this holy decree, and immediately let Yuansheng send it to Fangshan. ”

Doctor Guanglu and the young master of the prince are both from the false title of the first grade, and the python robe of the Ming Dynasty is not like the Qing Dynasty that any cat and dog can wear, which is a great honor, especially the civil officials are less rewarded by the python robe.

During the Jingtai period, Yu Qian Yu Shaobao had a copy, and later when Yingzong restored Yu Qian's home, this python robe was offered on the incense case, and it is estimated that other people are similar, and Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian will wear it seriously.

Such an honor is not small, it is estimated that Zhu Sheng will not be posthumously sealed after he dies, Ma Dajia nodded with satisfaction and went to the draft, Ye Dui also knelt on the ground to thank Zhu Sheng, "The grass people still have another reluctant request, I hope Your Majesty will not let Jinyiwei go to the academy again." ”

"Yuansheng, I didn't give an order to let Jinyiwei go to the academy, did I?"

"Back to the emperor, Governor Han did bring people there today, to catch Song Lian's little grandson."

Ye Dui said: "Song Lian's grandson has long been sent elsewhere by Jiang Ninghou, and he is no longer in the academy. The problem is not here, no matter whether Song Lian's grandson is in the academy or not, His Majesty should not let his subordinate eagle dogs search the academy, and in the future, he should not let the official Dao academy serve. ”

Lao Zhu frowned and asked: "It's the Royal Academy after all, but my people can't go, what is the reason?" ”

Ye Dui stood up and straightened his waist, "If the rules of this academy are broken once, there will be a second time, a third time, and sooner or later, one day the academy will become another yamen like Guozijian." There will be no matches, binoculars, looms, threshing machines, jack hammers, and steamships in the yamen, and there will be no need for the academy to exist, just go directly to the Guozijian. ”

Lao Zhu nodded, "I understand what Mr. means, I know best what virtues my courtiers have, my brother-in-law often says that these people will spoil the culture of the academy." As long as the academy can invent good things, I can erect a monument under the archway for future generations to follow. ”

"My emperor is shengming, and the grass people will thank the emperor first." Ye Dui hurriedly finalized the roots.

"Haha...... I didn't see it before, but the gentleman would beat the snake with the stick. ”

Yuan Sheng said on the side: "The emperor is not early, and there are still a lot of excerpts to be approved in the afternoon." ”

"Sir, don't go, wait for dinner and then talk about it together!"

Ma Dajia handed over the prepared holy decree to Yuan Sheng, "There are still a few good century-old ginseng plants in the inner library, bring them to Mr. Zhu together." Mr. Ye, don't be in a hurry to leave, there are still some academic things to ask you about in this palace. ”

Seeing that Lao Zhu and Yuansheng came out of the palace gate, Ma Dajia returned to the palace and sat down, and asked the palace people to exchange tea for Ye. Ye Dui picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”

"Then the palace is not shy about it, you have a deep friendship with Mr. Song, why don't you intercede for him, the emperor owes you affection, as long as you open your mouth, you will be able to ensure that Mr. Song is not implicated."

Ye Dui let out a long sigh when he heard this, "Zhu Fenglin hopes that the grass people will use this affection to keep the academy from falling into the abyss in the wind and rain, and the grass people have promised to do their best, if they want to interfere in the government with this affection, then this affection will be eliminated in an instant." Especially about Song Jinglian, why should Niangniang ask knowingly. ”

Ma Dajia asked rhetorically, "What do you say, sir?" ”

"No one knows the emperor better than Niangniang, if you and the prince can't ask for it, even if Weichen comes forward and reluctantly asks for it, the Song family is only saved for a while, and the whole family may suffer in the future. If the cow doesn't drink water, it can force its head, and if it presses the real dragon's head, it will be counterattacked! ”
