Therefore, the matter of the Son of Heaven going out of the palace to visit the Qinglou must not be known to Xie Qian. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Otherwise, Gu Dayong, who was accompanying the Son of Heaven, would definitely become the target of bombardment. The Eight Tigers are in calamity to the country, and the civil officials are trying their best to attack, and the final possible result is just one after another.

Others can be Zhishi, but Xie Qian can't!

Because this is Xie Shen's biggest ally in the civilian group, with Xie Shen's strength, he can't be independent. Without Xie Qian, Xie Shen was really worried that the Yuyao faction that had been painstakingly managed over the years would fall apart.

Of course, what worries Xie Shen even more is Gu Dayong's relationship with him.

Although the two have been very cautious, they try not to meet in private. But there are no impermeable walls in the world, and more or less civil officials still captured some details.

But these details can't prove that Gu Dayong and Xie Shen are allies, so there is no way to attack the two.

As for this crane age, it seems that it is going to give some color.

It is true that you are the uncle of the country, but you are also a subject of the Ming Dynasty.

Since it is a subject of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

wantonly framing important officials of the court, this crime is definitely not light.

Of course, this matter may not be able to kill Zhang Heling, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhang is still there, and Zhu Houzhao also has a lot of affection for this uncle, but at least Zhang Heling can lose a layer of skin and dare not fight Xie Shen's idea again.

In history, the fall of the Zhang brothers was also during the Jiajing period, and the Empress Dowager Zhang died, so the possibility of extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth is extremely low.

As long as the Zhang brothers do not rebel, in the Zhengde Dynasty, under the protection of the Empress Dowager Zhang, there will be no danger to their lives.

This is the sorrow of the imperial society.

After such a fuss, Emperor Zhengde was obviously not in the mood, and returned to the palace under the escort of Gu Dayong and a group of brocade guards.

As for the impostor who pretended to be Xie Shen, he was mentioned to Jinyi Wei Prison and tortured.

Although he recruited them all, this is the process of Jinyiwei, just like killing the mighty stick, in order to kill a murderer's sharpness, so that he is absolutely obedient and obedient.

As for the unlucky general of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he repeatedly kowtowed to Xie Shen to apologize, hoping that Xie Ge would treat him as a fart. Until Xie Shen left Wangjiang Tower, he knelt for a long time.

Xie Shen had no intention of bothering with him, but only sighed that such eyesight deserved to be a little shrimp for the rest of his life.

Back in the house, Shui Yun took off his coat for him.

Seeing that his old man looked tired, Shui Yun brought a basin of hot water and moistened it with a square towel to wipe Xie Shen's face.

"Why did the master come back so late?"

Xie Shen looked at the sky outside the window, and it was already white.

Alas, after an hour or two, it was almost dawn.

"It's hard to put into words." Xie Shen said bitterly: "I can't sleep anyway, let's talk to me." ”

The two of them sat at the head of the bed, chatting without a word.

......

......

After sitting at the head of the bed for more than an hour, Xie Shen changed into an official robe and prepared to go to the cabinet to work under Shui Yun's service.

Now is not the time to take a break, and Xie Shen has no other reason, he still has to go to work.

Otherwise, others asked the reason, did Xie Shen say that he had exhausted his energy by going to the Qinglou at night?

However, after staying up all night, his mental state was really not very good, and he squinted in the sedan chair for a while, and when he got off the sedan chair, he only felt that the sky was dim, and he couldn't help but feel that adequate sleep was still very important.

Although the cabinet is named after Wenyuan Pavilion, in fact, the offices of the scholars are not in Wenyuan Pavilion, but in a row of corridors next to Wenyuan Pavilion.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, the cabinet was originally only a temporary body, and the status of cabinet ministers was not high. Later, although the status of the cabinet gradually improved, gradually surpassing the general administration of the six ministries and nine temples, the rank of the cabinet scholar was still the fifth grade.

In the big people, there are so many powerful people in Beijing, the five rank officials are really not as good as dogs.

Although the official position of the Ming Dynasty is heavy on functions and not on grades, for example, the seven-rank patrol can impeach the feudal officials according to the imperial history. But in general, grade is still a symbol of face.

The cabinet scholars are the ministers of the imperial court, and it is too low to only have five grades.

Therefore, in the later period, the cabinet university priest also served as the secretary of the six ministries to make up for the congenital defect of the five products.

For example, Yan Song, the official rank is so long that he can't read it.

But at least during the Hongji Shotoku period, the cabinet scholars did not have the cheekiness to hold so many official positions.

Of course, there are such vain positions as Taishi and Taifu.

The Cabinet Corridor is a row of low corridors that do not have any comfort.

Spring and autumn are better, but the scorching heat in summer and the severe cold in winter are just painful to torture.

In addition, most of the people who can enter the cabinet are already old, and even if the old bones are not falling apart, they have to lose their skin.

As soon as Xie Shen entered the gallery, he felt that the heat was unbearable, and after lifting the hem of the official robe and sitting down, a small official respectfully offered herbal tea.

According to Xiao Xie Ge's old habits, ice cubes have been added to this herbal tea in advance, and the taste is very cool, and it can eliminate a lot of summer heat.

Xie Shen squinted his eyes slightly and drank a large cup of herbal tea before he felt that the fire in his stomach had dissipated a lot, and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you see Xie Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao." ”

The waiter replied respectfully: "The two pavilion elders have entered the inner palace. ”

Xie Shen chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

Isn't it true that the emperor's exit from the palace yesterday was known to Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and the two of them went to Xingshi to ask for guilt?

But on second thought, the possibility was too low. After all, only a very small number of cronies and servants knew that the Son of Heaven was out of the palace. Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are not traitors like Yan Song, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to buy the eunuchs around the Son of Heaven to be eyeliner, how can they know every move of the Son of Heaven well?

Moreover, the punishment of impostors last night did not involve the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao finally returned to the inner palace safely, unaware.

In this case, unless Li Dongyang and Xie Qian have clairvoyance and ears, they will never know the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven.

Then, the two of them entering the palace together may just be summoned by the Son of Heaven.

Xie Shen's hanging heart was temporarily relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel that it was not easy to be an assistant.

Don't look at the beautiful and majestic cabinet scholar on weekdays, he is actually a tinkerer.

Where is there a problem in the Ming Empire, the ministers have to worry about it.

The middle of the Ming Dynasty was fine, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the empire was really full of holes and storms.

The emperor only asks for money, and as for how to get the money, it is all up to the ministers to figure out their own way.

If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Xie Shen used to think that the cabinet university was lazy, but now he found that they are not lazy but have too many things that hinder them, and it is difficult to roll up their sleeves and let go of it.

Who doesn't want to leave a name in history, but whether they can get their wish does not depend on these cabinet ministers, or even on the Son of Heaven, but on the faces of scholars and civil officials.

Alas, sigh.

But that's just the way it is.
