Chen Musa pulled hard, and a red carp weighing more than two catties was pulled out of the water.

However, the fish struggled so hard that it almost dragged Chen Musa into the water.

"Steady, steady." Wei Guogong laughed as he grabbed Chen Musa's arm and helped him drag the fish to shore.

"The strength of the fish in the water is really not to be underestimated." Chen Musa also laughed.

He likes to eat fish, but he has never fished, and today he was dragged out by Wei Guogong to fish to relieve his boredom.

In a wooden barrel next to it, there are already more than ten fish, all of which were caught by Wei Guogong, and Chen Musa is still the first Kaili City.

"This one is suitable for braised braised food, let them clean it up in a while, and let's have a fish feast in the evening." Wei is fair.

Living in the center of Xuanwu Lake, the most convenient food is fish, it can be said that it is inexhaustible, inexhaustible, the fish in the lake seems to be endless, every day there are many fishermen in the lake to fish, and then to the city to sell, the major restaurants sell eight out of ten fresh fish are salvaged in Xuanwu Lake.

Xuanwu Lake is the private property of the royal family, and it has never been rewarded to anyone before, it is said that King Ning had asked Emperor Wuzong to give him Xuanwu Lake before his rebellion, and Wuzong also agreed, but the ministers fiercely opposed it, and finally failed.

This time, Xuanwu Lake was rewarded to Chen Musa to study and nourish his heart here, but none of the ministers objected, which shows that the power of the literati was infinite at that time, and they could also form a group and dare to say no to the emperor's relatives and the powerful class.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty did some things very well, and some things did not smell good, showing extreme duplicity.

Xuanwu Lake does not prohibit fishermen from fishing, there are more fishermen, but no one is allowed to board the central island, and the ferry boat has always been in the hands of the guards of the Zhongshan Palace, and no one can take the boat to the island without the permission of Chen Musa and Wei Guogong.

Wei Guogong also sent some of his guards to patrol the surroundings by boat to prevent anyone from swimming ashore, and also arranged for a fisherman to catch fish for the people on the central island. The island now lives Chen Musa's family and pomegranates, and there is also a team of guards from the Zhongshan Palace, which is also a large family.

"What's the fun of sitting here for so long to catch a fish, it's better to meditate and nourish your mind than to have this kung fu." Chen Musa Road.

"Brother, you haven't tasted the joy of fishing, just as I can't understand the joy of your daily meditation. After a long time, you will know the joy of fishing, and it is unspeakably happy. Wei Guogong said with a smile.

In fact, he doesn't often fish, Zhongshan Wangfu is different from other nobles, and he also bears the heavy responsibility of stabilizing half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is also busy with official business, but he still likes to be busy, go here to catch fish for a while, and have a good time.

"Meditation is not for pleasure, but for the study of the philosophy of life, only in a state of extreme tranquility, many truths will automatically appear, forget it, you don't understand it." Chen Musa shook his head at the end.

"Oh, I don't understand that." Wei Guogong didn't feel angry at all, and said, "I don't understand your meditation realm, and you don't know the joy of fishing, but I won't learn from you to meditate like you in my life, but you can fish often, and maybe you can slowly discover many pleasures and life philosophies that you can't find in meditation." ”

"Nonsense, what other philosophy of life can you discover in fishing?" Chen Musa scoffed.

Both of them are close friends, and they don't have to have any scruples when they speak, how to come directly, no one is angry or annoyed.

Chen Musa continued to change the bait, threw the fishing rod into the water, pinched his nose and accompanied Wei Guogong to continue fishing, Wei Guogong was also in a rare mood, of course he could not defeat Wei Guogong's interest.

"Besides, it's out of the jam today, right?"

After fishing for a while, Chen Musa suddenly thought about it again.

"It should be, the holy decree should be to Datong yesterday, and besides, his character should be out of the customs immediately, there are too many people in him, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a day to get out. I said brother, now we're fishing, can you not think about it first. ”

"How can you not think that your children will go deep into the country of tigers and wolves, and they may face accidents at any time."

"You are thinking too much, we have hostages in hand, otherwise how could the emperor make such a decision. Brother, it's not just you who love and care, Zhang Juzheng and the emperor are not bad. ”

"Taiyue is okay, the old man doesn't know what the emperor thinks, this task is full of dangers, I just want to come back safely now." Chen Musa snorted coldly.

Chen Musa and Emperor Jiajing and Longqing are all friends, especially those who have a closer relationship with Emperor Jiajing, but since he was placed under house arrest in Xuanwu Lake, he has also felt the strength and difficulty of the royal work. Especially for characters like Chen Musa, it is necessary not only to make you have a sense of existence, but also to make you deeply appreciate the power of imperial power.

The huge central island of Xuanwu Lake, even King Ning couldn't get it back then, so let Chen Musa have a personal possession, and your face is big enough, but even if you are in Jiangnan, it is equivalent to being under the emperor's nose.

"The emperor is also testing him, give him the opportunity to make contributions, you know, besides, that kid is simply a stunned young man, without saying a word, he directly led the troops to occupy a street in the capital, it was simply a clear robbery, and the robbers were all people with a big background, to be honest, I didn't dare to do this kind of thing, I didn't dare to think about it, this kid did it, and then, the emperor had to issue a holy decree and reward him with a street, this kind of favor has not been seen for many years, even the first emperor did not do this to Lu Bing." Wei is fair.

Chen Musa also smiled: "He is not stunned, he did it on purpose, he just wanted to make a big mistake and let the emperor bring him back to his hometown." It's a pity that the emperor is also shrewd, and he is not fooled at all, two people are playing chess there, can't you see it? ”

"You two masters and apprentices are too scheming, aren't you?" Wei Guogong smiled bitterly.

"Isn't it all forced by the emperor? Besides, do you know this kid, when did you play tricks with people when you were in Nanjing? If you have something to say, you have to say it directly, and you have to do things directly, and he is also forced to be helpless. Chen Musa defended the situation.

"Brother, up to now, you have to admit that we may have lost our eyes to the situation, maybe it is our own children, who have patronized and spoiled, and have not found the advantages of him, but the emperor has a discerning eye for gold and has discovered the strengths of the situation. From a white-clothed Xiushi directly promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there is basically no transition, this is a grace that has not been seen in any dynasty or generation, and it is not bad, it is really impressive, and now he is leading the negotiations out of the customs, and this official has to be promoted after coming back. "Wei is fair.

"I don't expect him to be promoted, I just look forward to him returning to Jiangnan, where his wife and children are waiting for him." Chen Musa has no appreciation for the emperor's "grace of the world".

"You're going to stay under your wing for the rest of your life?"

"What's wrong with that, when he reaches middle age, he either goes out to lecture, or it's not too late to become a leader, besides, he doesn't have the desire to be a monk at all, you also know this, the emperor is a cow who doesn't drink water and presses his head."

According to the life path arranged by Chen Musa, at most, let him participate in a few more examinations, at most get the Jinshi in his hands, and then he will not be an official, he will live the first half of his life freely, and when he has accumulated enough in his middle-aged life, he can go out to give lectures, or he can meditate to comprehend the ultimate truth of science, and finally surpass him, surpass the patriarch Chen Baisha, and become a great master of science than Wang Shouren.

But the emperor forced him to be the commander of all the brocade guards, which is simply forcing a literati who can't see blood to be the executioner, isn't this bullying?

Chen Musa scoffed at the privilege of commanding the envoy of the Jinyi Guard, he didn't look down on this profession at all, he was a friend of two generations of emperors, and he was qualified to think so.

Wei Guogong smiled helplessly, but he could also understand Chen Musa's thoughts, and to be honest, if the emperor forced his son to be the commander of any brocade guard, he would not agree. Because of the relationship between the Marquis of Wucheng, and now he is also a noble child, and his son is also considered to be a person of the same class, unlike before, who belongs to the commoners.

"Brother, the emperor wants to be of great use, besides, no one can stop this, maybe this is the fate of the situation, otherwise why would he be favored by the emperor all of a sudden, and then he would not hesitate to entrust him with a heavy task. This may be the envy of the literati. ”

Since he went to Beijing, Chen Musa has not been happy for a day, often clamoring to find the emperor to theorize, and even prepared to go to Beijing in person to discuss an explanation with the emperor several times, but was stopped by Wei Guogong.

Chen Musa still belongs to the people under the care of Wei Guogong here, of course, neither Emperor Jiajing nor Emperor Longqing has said anything about this, but both Chen Musa and Wei Guogong know very well in their hearts that this is the case.

Wei Guogong did not let Chen Musa go to Beijing to find the emperor to make a big noise, not because he was afraid that he would be responsible, but because he was afraid that things would get out of hand, at least now his face has not been torn, and the emperor and Chen Musa still maintain their previous friendship on the surface, often exchanging letters and learning some life philosophies.

People are rising step by step in the capital, what are you anxious about. Wei Guogong thought so in his heart.

Chen Musa also saw that he had been living well in Beijing, at least on the surface, he didn't see any danger, and he endured everything, he also knew that even if he arrived in the capital, he might not be able to see the emperor, most of them would be stopped by Zhang Juzheng and entangled by Gao Gong, these two people are the emperor's second generals, although the two of them are not in harmony.

The drizzle lingered, and the two of them felt a little tired after talking for a while, they would come to this kind of conversation once in a few days, and they all felt a little annoyed, but Chen Musa's temper would complain about the emperor, and he was always dissatisfied with being left in the capital.

Fortunately, the people here are all Wei Guogong's henchmen, and these words can't be spread outside, otherwise they may really cause trouble.

Chen Musa not only muttered on the island, but also complained constantly in the letters to the emperor, forcing the emperor to let go and return to his hometown every day, and he was not an official at all, saying that he would let him come back to continue his studies, and then serve the emperor after the imperial examination became famous.

The emperor is also a master of Tai Chi, either he is like a seal, or he is a trick to talk about him, which makes Chen Musa cry and laugh.

"Look, there's another fish bite." Wei Guogong suddenly shouted.
