Chapter 59 Zhejiang Pavilion Pondered

The wind and clouds have become sad and dead

Outside the city, treat the dead who meet the dead

Chen Qida, the governor of the political affairs, and Peng are old friends for many years, and they are also the in-laws of their children, and they came forward to save Peng Zishou, saying that they should not be convicted for their words, and the emperor did not allow it, so they asked to be released to eastern Zhejiang.

These two times are not the imperial pen, the prime minister signed Yang Wenduan and Jing Yutang, neither refuted nor impeached. What's even more infuriating is that this Han Yanxuan has no actual dispatch, but he still sits in the Privy Council.

The promotion and dismissal of high-ranking officials in this dynasty were decided by the emperor, but the "words" stating the reasons for promotion or dismissal were ghostwritten by the intellectuals. For this reason, the scholars of Hanlin and the scholars of the Chinese Academy, who are also knowledgeable, are on duty at the academy every night to prepare for the emperor's summons.

Normally, at night, the inner attendant of the imperial palace is ordered to come to the academy, and the inner servant takes out the sealed emperor's handwritten edict, which has the content of someone as an official, and then the inner servant is locked up in the courtyard to write a draft of the word, and after writing, it is handed over to the inner attendant, and then the academy is locked. After the announcement of the early dynasty, the Zhizhi Dynasty acted freely.

If the prime minister is appointed, the emperor is called into the palace, the emperor wears civilian clothes to meet, there is a paper inkstone next to the throne, and after the guards retreat, the emperor whispers to appoint someone as the prime minister, what is the main reason, the knowledge system is next to the emperor to write words, the emperor reads it and puts it in his pocket, and then gives the knowledge system to drink tea. The intellectuals returned to the academy, locked it up, and announced it the next day before it was released.

Of course, the emperor's appointment of high-ranking officials is not groundless, and he cannot do without the recommendation of Zaizhi.

Time has passed, everything has changed, and he, the prime minister, is like a loner. The emperor did not consult him on state affairs, nor did anyone come to ask for advice on government affairs. Full of enthusiasm and sincerity, he never expected to end up in such a situation.

Li Shizhang finally made a move, impeaching Zhang for thousands of words, detailing Zhao Ruyu's various misdeeds and deeds. The words are conclusive, and people can't help but believe it.

Hanlin waited to send a handwritten copy of the impeachment and folding, and opened it to see: Ru Yu, with the same surname as the phase, this is not the ancestral system, when the emperor's holy body is not healthy, Ru Yu wants to do the story of Zhou Gong, rely on the false voice, plant the private party, set the policy of self-esteem, and concentrate on self-reliance, it seems that this is not clear, and should be immediately reprimanded, in order to stabilize the heavens, and then block the evil and prevent the invasion of the monarchy......

Reading and reading, Zhao Ruyu was like a thorn in his back, and he couldn't help but be frightened. It seems that it is impossible to even resign. He suddenly remembered Ye Zhengze's words: Close ministers are rampant, and the government is misbeneficial.

Mount Tai pressed the top, his face did not change, and the next day, Zhao Ruyu still looked calm, went to the Zhejiang Pavilion outside the city to wait for the emperor's fate.

Zhejiang Pavilion is thirty miles east of Lin'an City. At first glance, it looks like a post station, but it's much better than a post station. It has a nice name, it's called Sixian-in. The yard is complete, with housing, a dining room, and servants to wait. There is a flower garden in the back, flowers bloom all year round, walk a few steps to the east, and you will reach the river, there is a tall and wide pavilion, you can look into the distance, you can read, you can also drink. Compared to the bustle of the city, it is quiet and elegant, especially at night, and the scenery is more beautiful. If you don't want to think about sin, this is a wonderful place to relax.

Two miles away from the west of the pavilion, there is a family, from the appearance, it is not gorgeous, the gate is nothing special, the open space and steps in front of the door are paved with bluestone slabs, the thick wooden door is painted black, wider than the general farmhouse, no card and no word.

The sun is on the sun, and the temperature is rising. An old man stepped out of it. The old man was of medium height, with a gray beard, a long face and thick eyebrows, a cotton hat and a black cotton robe, and he walked with great strength.

When I returned to the house, I first read the letter, which was sent by the eldest son Wang Hongzhou from Jian'an, reporting the business situation and greeting my parents. There are five tabloids. Two years ago, he went into the city and saw that there were tabloids selling them, and he was very curious. At first glance, it was all gossip, what instructions did the emperor give, and whoever was promoted was demoted. It was similar to the official newspaper, and it was very interesting, so he asked the postman to send it to him regularly.

There was a piece of news in the tabloid that caught his attention: Zhao Ruyu, the prime minister of the left, was impeached by Li Shizhang, the right Zhengyan, and went out of the city to be punished. No wonder the door of Sixian Yuan is closed and the guards are tight, it turns out that the prime minister of the dynasty is here.

More than an hour later, the old man came to the front of Sixian Courtyard with a food box, and asked the imperial guards to report that his old friend, Wang Yanzhen, a talent from Huangzhou, visited Xiangye.

Hearing the report, Zhao Ruyu couldn't remember what this old friend named Wang Yanzhen looked like. When they are in trouble, dignitaries and nobles are afraid of getting into trouble and avoiding it. Now there is an old man carrying wine and food, which is really rare. Then he agreed: Hurry up, please.

Accompanied by the guards, Wang Yanzhen came to the Sixian Pavilion, Zhao Ruyu was reading "Recent Silu", and when he saw someone in front of him, he looked at it carefully, but he couldn't think of it, and he didn't have an impression in his mind.

Wang Yanzhen said: Prime Minister don't have to think about it, we only got along for two days 30 years ago, and we haven't seen each other again, if I see you alone, no one reminds me, and I don't recognize you.

Zhao Ruyu was puzzled, so what are you?

The prime minister is in a high hall on weekdays, and he hugs before and after entering and leaving, and it is difficult for a civilian to see each other. Now that he has been framed, the old man lives not far from here, asks the old wife to fry a few side dishes, scald a pot of rice wine, talks about friendship, talks about life, I don't know what to do?

I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it.

It's the middle of winter, although it's not cold. Drinking at the kiosk, obviously not. decided to go back to the room, and when he saw the guards following, Zhao Ruyu said: I am a person who treats sinners, do I need someone to watch me when I drink with my old friends?

The two chatted while eating, Wang Yanzhen introduced himself, I am a native of Jianyang, Fujian, the word is true, born in a rural family, the ancestors have been farming for a living, when the father was there, the family had 100 acres of land, and there was a small surplus. As the eldest son, his parents hope to study hard, gain fame, and add glory to their ancestors.

The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Er Cao, everything is inferior, only reading is high. These ideas have been rooted in his mind since he was a child.

In order not to disappoint his parents, he studied hard in the cold window, memorized the scriptures and history, and at the age of twenty-two, he was admitted to show talent, although the ranking was not high, but the whole family was very excited. Since then, every year of the big competition, I have entered Beijing to take the test.

In the second year of the main road (1166), it was the fourth examination, and he entered Beijing twenty days ahead of schedule and lived in the Zhuangyuanlou inn not far from the Gongyuan. The room is the best guest room of the inn, a single room, about ten days later, there is also a scholar next door, and it looks like a child of a large family.

He is Zhao Ruyu, the word is straight, and he is from Yugan, Jiangxi. In the past few days, the two have not had much contact and have spoken a few words. Since then, Zhao Ruyu has been on the high school list, and he is still famous in Sun Shan.

Zhao Ruyu asked: How old were you at that time?

Wang Yanzhen told him that when he was thirty-six years old, his eldest daughter was already ten years old.

Zhao Ruyu remembered that he was not tall back then, but he was white and fat, and he always blushed when he saw people, and he lowered his head when he spoke, and he looked like a kind person, and he has never seen him since.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Wang Yanzhen reminded: Come, come, don't patronize talking, try this steamed river knife, this is a good dish made by the old woman.

River knife, that is, crucian carp in the river. Select three or four heavy live fish, select and drain, stuff the belly with spiced star anise, steam for half an hour, and then pour seasoning, the meat is delicate, sweet and refreshing.

Influenced by his mother, Zhao Ruyu also likes to eat fish, so he eats a lot and relishes it.

Brother Zhen, you and I are here again after 30 years, and it is also fate, and Mrs. Sister-in-law's dishes are also very enjoyable. From now on, you will always remember the deep friendship between your brother and sister-in-law.

Straight brother, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it.

I think that when I am in trouble, I can be accompanied by my brother, taste delicious food, and talk freely, which is also a great joy in life, even if I die in a foreign land, I am also blind.
