Probably thinking that what he just said was a bit heavy, Sun Dan softened his tone and said: "A gentleman is not confused by things, but often confused by his heart, although a wise thing is the best means to solve the problem, but it cannot be abused. This is the attitude we should have when doing things. ”

Hearing Sun Dan's refusal, Yang Shen was a little annoyed at first. He seems to be a humble and elegant person on the surface, but in his bones he is very strong like the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Dan denied his proposal, which made him a little annoyed in his heart. But after hearing Sun Dan finish speaking, Yang Shen was a little ashamed, and he didn't feel red.

Secret Dao: Brother Jingyuan is a frank gentleman, who has served His Majesty all the year round, and his identity is sensitive. I asked him to do this kind of thing, which made him a little embarrassed. When a gentleman does things, he should take from the straight. The unification of the imperial examination is the reason why we are occupied, but this general trend is on my side. Now he can't give up the avenue, but indulge in power trickery, not the avenue! Hey, my father actually asked me to persuade Jingyuan to do this, didn't he think about the joints? Perhaps...... My father was also out of order. Impossible!

Yang Shen didn't feel a little distracted, but in an instant, he gritted his teeth again, thinking: Yang Shen, Yang Shen, how are you weak, how can you become so assertive. When your father first brought it up, you should have vetoed it immediately, because you were also messed up and had no idea. Still Jingyuan can see clearly, be upright, know what to do, and what to do no matter what. A gentleman can be a deceitful, and I did it too much.

Thinking of this, he looked deeply at Sun Dan again, and said in a sincere tone: "Jingyuan is reasonable, Yang Shen has been taught." It was Yang Shen's fault just now, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Yang Shen can afford to put it down so much, and he is open-minded, Sun Dan applauded in his heart: What a Yang Shen, worthy of being one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, is indeed a gentleman.

He hurriedly helped Yang Shen up, and said with a smile: "What does Brother Xiu say, there will always be a time when the matter of the imperial examination will be resolved, and the truth is on your side, so there is no need to worry." Because Sun Dan is serving by His Majesty's side, some things are not easy to say, and some things cannot be done. That's where the duty lies! ”

The two sighed for a long time, talked for a while, and then broke up and left.

……

After breaking up with Yang Shen, Sun Dan was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly and leisurely towards Tongzhou. At this moment, it is spring, and the scenery is very beautiful all the way, and the road is full of yellow flowers. In addition, I drank some wine with Yang Shen just now, but I was also a little drunk and silent.

Thinking back to the foul air of Beijing in modern society, this ancient time is really good.

waited until it was dark before he came to Tongzhou Palace, Sun Dan's drunkenness woke up, and according to the rules, he still went to see Mao Cheng.

Mao Shangshu looked like he was in good spirits, and asked Sun Dan about the situation in the capital during this time.

Sun Dan told Mao Cheng one by one about the huge turmoil caused by Zhang Xuan's entry into the palace, and he estimated that Mao Shangshu was also clear about this matter, and an official of his level had a newspaper to read every day, and there were many sources, and he couldn't hide anything from him about the big and small things in the court.

Although he already knew this matter very clearly, Mao Cheng still slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Thief, this Zhang Xuan is also a scholar, and he doesn't even want face for his future wealth." Zhang Xuan alone can't make waves, and he doesn't have the guts. ”

Mao Shangshu is an upright person, who has been a second-class member for many years, and naturally has a trace of majesty, as soon as he said this, there was an indescribable momentum: "Zhang Xuan something, a fifty-year-old priest, how dare to break into the palace, and even alarmed His Majesty." In my opinion, he must have discussed with Huang Jin in advance, and he wanted to vote for His Majesty's favor and further invite favors. Yes, it must be like this, Zhang Xuan had a close relationship with Huang Jin before, and without Huang Jin's support for him, how could he do such a shameful thing. What good things can a eunuch have? When the matter of Tongzhou is over, I will contact the spokesman and impeach Huang Jin. ”

Mao Cheng's ideas represent the mainstream of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and in their opinion, the initiator of all this is Huang Jin.

Sun Dan almost burst into laughter when he heard this, Huang Jin was also shot while lying down this time, but it happened to be calculated by my Sun Dan: "Lord Mao is reasonable, but even if we want to impeach Huang Jin, we can't find his mistakes, there is nothing to say, and it is useless to write more impeachment excerpts." "Now is not the time to move Huang Jin, to defeat him, you need to be patient, and wait for him to make an unforgivable mistake. It's too early to do it, and it alarms the guy.

Mao Shangshu woke up and nodded: "Indeed, the current major event in the DPRK and China is still the unification of the imperial examination, so let's just talk about it." As for Huang Jin, let it go first. ”

Sun Dan asked Mao Cheng what the Empress Dowager was, Mao Shangshu heard Sun Dan's question, and was even more annoyed, and said: "I am old, and I am not sick with clear soup and little water every day, what can the Queen Mother do?" It's nothing more than staying bored in Tongzhou, and you want to make trouble. ”

As he spoke, Mao Cheng told Sun Dan what had happened in the past few days.

It turned out that the Queen Mother lived in Tongzhou for seven days without explanation, and she was extremely annoyed in her heart, she was already an energetic person, and she couldn't bear it anymore when she held it here. beat and scolded the palace maids and eunuchs all day long, probably because his heart was too strong, and he had a nosebleed the day before yesterday.

This incident is in late spring, the weather is dry, people are prone to fire, nasal mucosa is dry, and it is normal to have some nosebleeds. Just drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits to heal.

But the queen mother's status is noble, and her first-class blood is naturally a big deal.

The imperial doctor also came, and the medicine was sent over at the same price, which made a lot of fun.

What Mao Shangshu said was expected by Sun Dan, and he also estimated that the Queen Mother was not sick, but she was just playing with her attitude. In fact, whether the Queen Mother is sick or not has nothing to do with him, his headache is how to let the Queen Mother enter the city earlier, no matter what way. Otherwise, staying in Tongzhou like this, my Sun Dan is also very bored!

He talked to Mao Shangshu for a while, and an official from the Ministry of Rites scolded loudly at the door: "What are you doing, don't look at what kind of place this is, is there a place where you can come?" ”

A voice lamented: "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life, I am here to visit a friend." The voice was soft and familiar.

Sun Dan thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the actor outside was not the boss of the old friend Zhan Arrangement, why did he come here?

"Visiting friends, you are a play, here are all moral scholars, how can there be your friends?" The official of the Ministry of Rites was still shouting loudly.

Mao Shangshu's face sank, and he shouted outside: "What's the matter, it's also possible to break in here, come on, blast that drama out for him." ”

Sun Dan hurriedly stood up: "My lord, I'll take a look, but I know this person, it is the boss of the Zhanjia class, and he is not a good person." ”

Mao Shangshu nodded.

When I went out, I saw that it was a spread.

When Zhanbu saw Sun Dan, he didn't say a word, he knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted: "Lord Sun, help!" ”
