Chapter 828 at the foot (II)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

March in Beijing, with its warm wind and long grass warbler flying, is the most beautiful and shortest season of the year.

The early morning sunlight shines through the window lattice, shining in the dining room across the courtyard of Tongzhou Yijiazi, which is neither dazzling nor scorching, but only makes people feel warm and bright.

Shen Mo picked up a xiǎo white porcelain plate, used the chopsticks that he had not yet used, took the screw dish out of the jar, placed it firmly on the plate, and sent it to Xu Jie, and then he also came to order. Seeing that Xu Jie was waiting for him with a bowl, he also picked up the porridge bowl and scooped half a spoonful to his mouth.

"Drink slowly." Xu Jie said loudly: "Swallow it in your mouth first, draw out the liquid and then swallow it." ”

Shen Mo had no choice but to swallow half a spoonful of porridge slowly for a while before swallowing it.

Xu Jie also did the same, and only after swallowing the gruel in his mouth did he say slowly: "I also learned from the "Hundred Porridge Spectrum", which says 'health without excessive liquid', so that eating porridge can lead to eternal life." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "I didn't expect the teacher to also read Puzhou Gong's works." ”

"That's the golden word of teaching people to live forever." Xu Jie said with great emotion: "I only hate that the old man is already a yellow-leaved tree in the rain, a white-headed man under the lamp, and the evening scene of Sangyu has not been a few years. After saying this, he looked at Shen Mo, this extraneous sound, ordinary people can't understand it, but Xu Jie knows that Shen Mo is not an ordinary person.

"The teacher's words are wrong," Shen Mo really understood, he put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, sat upright and said: "Health preservation is an attitude, as long as you adhere to this way of eating porridge from now on, you will definitely be able to prolong your life and live a long life." ”

"Hehe, take your auspicious words." Xu Jie nodded with a smile.

What kind of sharp play is this? In fact, this is Xu Jie's self-complaining song. In fact, Xu Jie's heart is very angry with Shen Mo, you are a big rebel thing, you dare to eat inside and outside, and conspire with others to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, I really want to bite your nose off.

However, Xu Ge Lao, who has practiced the turtle skills perfectly, even if he has a fire in his heart, he also knows that the situation is stronger than others. He has already gone into the wilderness, but Shen Mo is a scholar with real power, and the strength of the two sides is immediately changed...... And unless he is cheeky and admits that he is being silenced, he has no means to threaten the other party.

But Xu Ge is almost seventy years old, what else can he do except for a reputation? Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it will never end up with silence.

Recognizing this, Xu Jie knew that instead of trying to be quick for a while, he humiliated and silenced. It's better to show weakness and see if there is a possibility of repair between the two sides. After all, the status of teachers and students is there, and Shen Mo doesn't want to be stiff all the time and be seen as a joke, right?

So Xu Jie used "Hundred Porridge Spectrum" and Yang Bo to point out with sand shè...... I know that you and that old Xi'er had a deal, and you two played me home! Then he said that he was 'a yellow-leaved tree in the rain, a white-headed man under the lamp', which means, I admit defeat, stop playing, let's live a good life.

However, for his 'Sangyu Evening Scene', Xu Jie's biggest concern is not Shen Mo and Yang Bo, after all, one is a student and the other is a family member, even if he does it for the world to see, he always has to take care of an incense.

What he is worried about is that 'the old disease is difficult to heal', and whoever is his old disease is naturally arched. He used 'health' as a metaphor for the relationship with the future rulers, fearing that after Gao Gong came to power in the future, he would be liquidated. Saying that he was 'cramming for the time being' means that the relationship with Shen Mo was too stiff before, and I don't know if it's too late to get back together now.

In the final analysis, I lost, do you cover me?

The silent answer was, Hood! But you have to adhere to the 'way of eating porridge', what is the 'way of eating porridge', which is the state of mind of eating porridge that Yang Bo said - 'taste is enough in indifference'!

It means that you don't stir up trouble in the future, and honestly enjoy your old age in Sangyu, and I will naturally keep you fine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems that after this simple conversation, the relationship between the master and apprentice has entered a new chapter.

There was a little smile in Xu Jie's eyes, and then he stretched out an old hand towards Shen Mo.

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that he had been looking at him, and that the hand with wrinkles and old age spots was still stretched out there, he stretched out his hand as well.

Xu Jieyi grabbed the back of his hand, and said with complicated feelings: "State affairs and family affairs, everything is clumsy!" ”

Almost seventy people, this grip is still so strong, the silent hand was held tightly by him, cold and cold, he couldn't feel a trace of temperature, he felt a lot of discomfort in his heart, but his face was very calm and said: "Teacher, please rest assured, I will do my best." ”

"Hehe......" Xu Jie slowly chōu returned his hand and laughed at himself: "Actually, the old man has already given a minister, what does state affairs have to do with me?" It's just that I'm used to cào's heart, and I can't change it for a while, but I laugh at my humble words. ”

"If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king," Shen Mozheng said: "The teacher can't let go of the emperor and the court in his heart." ”

"Yes......" Xu Jie sighed deeply: "In the old man's heart, there are three things that he can't let go, and he has to be clumsy and cào." ”

"Teacher, please speak." Shen Mo nodded.

"First, needless to say, my visit this time was too sudden, and my successor, Gao Xinzheng, had a deep disagreement with me. I'm afraid that when he first returns to the capital, it will be the day when the xiǎo people shake their tongues and make noise and stir up right and wrong. When it comes to political affairs, Xu Jie's body faintly shows the momentum of the prime minister of a country and says: "At this time, we must beware of slander and instigation, and don't let xiǎo people have a chance to take advantage of it, so as not to luàn the dynasty." ”

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded.

"Second, it goes without saying that the Yanguan is the black sheep of the herd, and there are some opportunistic and out-of-the-box reputations...... Even people with bad hearts. Xu Jiemian continued in a complicated manner: "It is necessary for the official to rectify, but you can't even throw out the children in the basin in order to splash dirty water." Saying that, he said, "The old man has no sī heart in this. Those in power don't like to speak official, because these people are always staring at you, giving you advice, picking on máo diseases, and trying to impeach you at every turn. But you have to know that the Ming Dynasty can continue to this day, without the supervision of these people, it is absolutely possible...... There is nothing wrong with the official system itself, and the problems of individual people should not be a reason to suppress the team of officials! After a pause, he added: "Any dictatorship and tyranny starts from clamping down on the way of speech, and the sharpness of the official cannot be consumed!" ”

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded again, he agreed with this statement.

"Third...... It's a sī thing. Speaking of this, Xu Jie's words flickered: "My sons who are not successful ......"

Silently said secretly, in fact, this is what you are most worried about! Of course, he knew that although Lao Xu was a gentleman who talked about 'doing good and eliminating evil', his sons were really disgusting second ancestors.

Xu Jie's three sons who stayed at home were Su Song's tyrants, forcibly occupying people's land, doing evil, and ignoring the people, and the people hated them to the bone; And Xu Fan, who is in Beijing, is also a good one, relying on Lao Tzu's power, eating a large number of shops in prime locations at low prices, and then renting them out, sitting at home and making money every day, which has a very bad impact.

In fact, the imperial history has already participated in the impeachment of several sons of Xu Ge Lao, but the timing of the election is very bad, in the context of the tilting of the court, of course, it will be regarded as a slander against Xu Ge Lao, and then lightly exposed. However, in order to eliminate the pressure of public opinion, Xu Jie still ordered Xu Fan Zhishi to leave the capital and return all the encroached shops to the original owners.

However, Shen Mo knew the inside story, he knew that Xu Fan had sold all the properties in Beijing, but he did not return it to the original owner, but half of it was transferred to a name named Lu Fang, and half of it was transferred to a name named Li Yang...... Lu Fang and Li Yang, the sons of Xu Jie's guest Lu De and Li Xiang, are just playing the trick of the left pocket to the right pocket.

Lao Tzu sang 'Confucius and Mencius', his son scraped the people's wealth, and the good things of the Ming Dynasty were all taken up by his family! I dare to blame Xu Jie for worrying that if he retreats, will someone borrow those hún account turtle sons to rectify themselves. I really didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I could only ask Zhang Juzheng and Shen Mo to help take care of it.

There was a wave of nausea in Shen Mo's heart, but he still nodded calmly: "A few world brothers have done a little too much, but it doesn't hurt, I will try my best to be thoughtful, but I must change it in the future." ”

"Thank you." Xu Jie shook Shen Mo's hand again, but his hand was even colder than Fang Cai.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the middle of the hour, on the dock of the Tongzhou official ship, hundreds of officials who came to see off the officials had gathered. Although hundreds of officials have collectively sent Xu Ge Lao in the capital, there are still more than 100 die-hard officials who insist on coming to Tongzhou to send him on the ship.

Xu Jie's heart is not very happy about the behavior of these people, isn't this to provoke him to cause trouble? But it's all his hardcore, scolding the singers, and the gongs, in short, the máo dogs in the wilderness, and they can't be driven away, so they can only be allowed to follow.

In fact, these people are not purely for sending Xu Ge Lao, but have a xiǎo abacus...... First, they wanted to express their anger to the emperor; Second, I also want to take this opportunity to get together and discuss how to face the doomed bleak future.

After consultations last night, they have already made up their minds...... We must unite closely, advance and retreat together, and do everything under the banner of Xu Ge Lao. Although the old man is gone, his mén life and old officials are all over the world, and he can still shelter from the wind and rain.

Today, they are going to let the world see how loyal they are to Xu Ge and completely connected with him!

So at this moment, Xu Jieren has not yet arrived, and the dock is already a gloomy cloud, and all the officials who came to see him off are brewing their feelings, ready to have a touching parting later.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, on the street in the distance, a team of brocade guards slowly came with a carriage and a sedan chair.

"Coming, coming......" The officials moved.

Soon, the team stopped on the dock, and the Jinyi guards formed a quarantine circle, and no one was allowed to approach. A shì guard held a stool under the carriage, and then called the car.

The officials crowded towards the car, and many of them were squeezing tears in order to let Xu Ge Lao see his grief. Those who can't brew their feelings in place, so they have to come up with a trick and screw their big tuǐ inside......

Just when everyone was putting on a mourning look, they found that when they got out of the car, their feet were obviously sharper than the old man. After Qi stood still, he couldn't help but be stunned...... It turned out to be Shen Ge Lao.

Shen Moli ignored them, stretched out his hand into the carriage, and helped down the old Xu Ge who everyone wanted.

However, this interruption, Fang Cai's feelings were brewing in vain, and no one could cry, and they all looked at it blankly, this is the same as father and son.

Their minds are full of questions...... Isn't it all about the master and apprentice turning against each other, does Xu Ge old hate Shen Ge to death? How does that explain their tightly holding hands? Moreover, Shen Ge Lao made a special trip from the south to see him off, and sure enough, people couldn't believe what they said.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the officials, Xu Jie glanced at Shen Mu, meaning, xiǎozi, this is the idea you are fighting.

Shen Mo coughed lightly, tightened his hand to Xu Jie, and said, "Teacher, the student will send you to the boat." ”

"Hmm." Xu Jie nodded at everyone and said, "Thank you for coming to see you off, take care of yourself......" With the support of Shen Jie, he got on the official ship that had already been ready to go.

It wasn't until Xu Jie got on the boat that the officials came to their senses...... There's a lot more to say. I can't say it now, so what should I do, just cry.

So everyone knelt down towards Xu Jie, and cried loudly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xu Jie's eyes were also moist, but it was not because of those crying officials, but because he suddenly found that this was the place where he first came to Beijing to take the exam when he was twenty-one years old forty-five years ago.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye. Glory and disgrace and joy are like a cloud of smoke, and now, everything is back to ......

Xu Jie finally realized what it means to be a person. In the past forty-five years, the appearance of this dock has hardly changed, and he has changed from a young talent full of enthusiasm to a tired retired first assistant.

Memories are like rushing rivers, once the floodgates are opened, they will be endless, Xu Jie remembered that thirty-eight years ago, when he was twenty-eight years old, because of his righteous speech, he angered Zhang Xuan, the first assistant at that time, and as a result, his future was ruined, his family was ruined, and he was sent to a wild land. It was here that the boat was also boarded.

What would you feel if you were at that time and saw your current self? ——
