Chapter 45: Asking the Question in the Half-Blind (Part 2)
Then he slumped away, and could be heard muttering as he went:
"Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, I don't know what it's worth doing this......"
Jiang Feng looked at the old man's back a little inexplicably, shook his head and strode into the main gate, anyway, he was not afraid of any mystery, but the dagger in his arms still touched it.
The sun has risen, the room is quite bright, the door of the main hall is facing the hanging scroll in the right, the painting looks a little old, there is a crane combing feathers painted on it, the couplet on both sides is written dragon flying phoenix dance, Jiang Feng, who only knows simplified Chinese characters, can't understand it at all.
There is a square table under the hanging scroll, and there is a middle-aged man dressed in a green dress scribe robe sitting on the side, with a clear face, a slight beard under the chin, slightly squinted eyes, and a thin figure, looking polite, this is really the appearance of a well-educated person, but in Jiang Feng's impression, the so-called scholar must have eyes, neatly combed hair, and wear a suit shirt.
But this "literate" middle-aged man has seen him every day these days, he is the owner of Jiang Fengfeng's mansion, and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy talked about Liu Shunhua, Jiang Feng was shocked, no matter what, the other party would not have a chance to meet him in this main hall.
Did he make any mistakes, and he didn't know how to come forward to salute for a while, Bachelor Liu looked at Jiang Feng standing stunned, and did not come to salute according to the number of courtesies, a trace of anger flashed between his eyebrows, but he seemed to remember something, but he took the initiative to stand up.
Shaking his fist at Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng replied in a daze, this is even more unknowing, although Jinyiwei has always been arrogant and domineering, but in front of the noble scholar of Hanlin, he still has to be respectful, who knows if these six-grade and seven-grade attendants in front of you will be a scholar in a few years, and it will be a scholar.
According to the usual small schools like Jiang Feng, when you see a bachelor like Liu Shunhua, kneeling on one knee is considered a half-courtesy, and kowtowing is not an exaggeration.
However, looking at Jiang Feng's rude performance, Bachelor Liu did not get angry, and after finishing the gesture, he stretched out his hand to the seat next to him and said:
"Junior Colonel Jiang, please take a seat."
The voice was a little stiff and hoarse, at this time, Jiang Feng could be regarded as reacting, but what he was thinking about in his heart was not why the other party was so polite to him, but thinking, dare to love this Bachelor Liu's mansion, he was a little hoarse when he spoke, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
Bachelor Liu was not allowed to serve tea, and asked Jiang Feng directly:
"Colonel Jiang told his family yesterday about the affairs of the imperial court, and when I heard it last night, I felt that what Your Excellency said was quite insightful, but there was something unclear, and I hope to give advice."
Jiang Feng is not a person who can't tell the difference, but the other party's words are really not understood much, probably meaning understood, hearing the other party's polite question, he was interested, leaned back in the chair, and replied with a big grin:
"Lord Liu, don't be polite, if you have anything to say, just ask, uncle....oh... I know everything about the little ones. ”
When Bachelor Liu heard this rude answer, his face turned blue for a while, but he quickly calmed down and asked there:
"Colonel Jiang said yesterday that the whole world is holy today, and the people of Jiangshan Society are holy today, and the most important thing is the saint, and what the saint wants to do, the courtiers below obey it."
Jiang Feng nodded in confusion there, thinking that this was not a retelling of his words yesterday, so he nodded at the moment and said:
"Exactly."
When Bachelor Liu heard this, he didn't know why, his voice suddenly rose up, and he said sharply:
"Ten years of cold window, the teachings of the saints in exchange for my status today, I can't live up to the teachings of the saints, I can't go against the common people in the world, the chaos of the saints, I must die to admonish them."
Jiang Feng was startled by this suddenly raised voice, and hurriedly said:
"Lord Liu, you are confused about the little one......
Liu Shunhua found that he was a little inexplicably excited, and hurriedly sat upright and coughed a few times and said:
"The saint is young and vigorous, often has some inexplicable thoughts, a few days ago suddenly ordered the cabinet, saying that it is to reform the clothing of hundreds of officials, the first assistant Fei Ge Lao told me and others, the clothing of hundreds of officials is the law of the ancestors, how can it be easily changed, if it is from the saint, I am afraid that the next change is the saint's rites, I wait for the Son of Heaven to eat, when the advice to stop, but the saint does not listen to the ministers, just send the internal supervisor to continue urging."
Hearing the words "death" and "death", Jiang Feng thought that it was something related to the national economy and people's livelihood, life and death, but later, it turned out to be a trivial matter about the replacement of court clothes (at least in Jiang Feng's heart, this is a trivial matter), and he suddenly cried and laughed in his heart.
After all, he is young, he has not experienced anything in officialdom at all, and he doesn't know how powerful, and before the other party finishes speaking, he rushes to say there:
"I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be just a change of uniform, I'm a rough person, I don't know how to make a big deal, but I know that the emperor Lao Tzu is the biggest, he should do whatever he wants, then again, is it worth making such a fuss about changing clothes? A few of those with pens and sticks of pen and knife handles are arguing, and be careful to tell the emperor that he is in a hurry and have your heads cut off. ”
According to Jiang Fengshao's poor historical knowledge, it is known that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty often argue with the emperor on some trivial matters, especially on the matter that modern people look at as completely trivial, such as the case of the great ceremony of deposing hundreds of officials in the third year of Jiajing, etc., the consequence of the argument is often one side of the concession, if the emperor gives in, then the history books are often "Emperor Na Xian Yan", if it is the other way around, I am afraid that it will be the death of the official and exile.
This time the proposal to change the court uniform, the first assistant Fei Hong felt that the son of heaven was young, and he often did not know that the rules of the country could not be easily changed, and he must not be the first to open this trend. This kind of prevention is not the first to prevent the prevention of jade chopsticks, from ancient times to the present, there are many examples.
But in this matter, it seems too pedantic, and Emperor Jiajing was originally quite wary of hundreds of officials because of the Great Rites case, not to mention that among the six departments and three divisions of the current cabinet, his own henchmen are still a minority, Fei Hong's refusal to accept the decree suddenly touched the most sensitive nerve in Emperor Jiajing's heart, and the two sides were so deadlocked.

Everyone recommends a collection to me, I will definitely code out the text that satisfies everyone, please rest assured, in the first six years of the Jiajing Dynasty, the first assistant was changed very frequently, and the emperor and the courtiers fought fiercely
