Chapter 771: Shangshu (II)

It turned out that behind Xu Jie, there was still his beloved apprentice, Zhang Juzheng, the left attendant of the household department. Zhang Juzheng was not as pessimistic as the teacher, but was a little eager to try: "The so-called gentleman and minister, the holy son of heaven has ruled since ancient times. As a Zaifu, the teacher should lead the ministers, work hard for it, and take on greater responsibilities!"

Xu Jie snorted when he heard this, and still turned his back to him and said, "Your statement is a little similar to that Gao Suqing. He remembered that at the last meeting of the Inner Lu, when Xu Jie proposed to write a letter to advise the emperor together, Gao Gong also had this view. But Xu Jie was quite unimpressed, he thought that the emperor was the master of the world, and he was silent and had nothing to do, which was really disappointing.

Hearing the teacher's dissatisfaction, Zhang Juzheng said softly: "The statement is the same, but the idea is different." The students are thinking that now that the emperor trusts the government, it is a good time for the teacher to show his ambitions, and at this time, the students are willing to do their best to assist the teacher......"

Xu Jie raised his hand, signaled him not to continue, slowly walked to the back of the big case and sat down, wrapped the white hair on his temples with his hands, and Xiao Suo said: "The teacher wants to do something, but the constraints are too heavy, and it is difficult to move." ”

Zhang Juzheng knew that he was talking about the 'Gao Guo duo', these two restless bachelors, the estrangement between these two restless bachelors and Xu Jie, it was difficult to return, every time there was something, every time they were at odds, it turned into a ruffle every time they had a meeting. Xu Jie was also bound by the oath of "three returns", and was unwilling to be like Yan Song, who regarded cabinet members as scribes and monopolized the right to draft votes, resulting in difficult decision-making and impossible implementation of major policies. Xu Jieben was counting on the emperor to give a ruling, but who knew that he would encounter a shopkeeper who shook his hands, and every time he was 'sent back for reconsideration', and the cabinet had to make its own decisions.

As a result, it is better to do things now than in the Jiajing Dynasty, which makes the old pavilion old, how can he not be physically and mentally exhausted and quite tired?

But even in front of the teacher, Zhang Juzheng didn't want to say bad things about Gao Gong, because his relationship with Gao Suqing has always been good. Now the reason why the two of them are gradually moving away is because of their teacher......

Zhang Ju was thinking of the day before the death of the first emperor, and the painter suddenly called him to Xiyuan and said to him: "If you don't hesitate, you should draft an edict, I will instruct, and you will write it." ”

He remembered very well that his hands were shaking at that time, not because of nervousness, but because of excitement. Because the edict was the unfulfilled order of the first emperor, every sentence will be regarded as a major policy of the country in the new dynasty. The person who wrote it will naturally gain a great reputation and become an important minister who attracts the attention of the world.

prosper

In addition to being excited, Zhang Juzheng also realized that this move would offend some people, especially Gao Gong. In terms of qualifications, talents, and rules, Gao Gong is more suitable for writing than him, and the more he dies, the more he will obviously cause Gao Gong's anger.

he

He also realized that this was a hole dug by the teacher...... I just don't want him and Gao Gong to continue to get tired of it...... But weighing the pros and cons, he still jumped down without hesitation, after all, the temptation to draft an edict was too great, and whether he could enter the cabinet as soon as possible depended on this.

No

Despite this, he still doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of Gao Gong, even if he excludes the past feelings, Gao Gong is really unaffordable.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng had also experienced this situation of two tigers contending, but the opponent at that time was Yan Song, who was the target of the traitors in the eyes of the government and the opposition, so no matter what way and what means were used to seek it, it was a battle between justice and evil, and there was no psychological burden.

But Gao Gong is different from Yan Bird, in addition to being the heartfelt minister of today's saint, Gao Suqing showed extremely outstanding talent when he served in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. Everywhere he went, the crowd was terrified, every word he said, he would be able to hit the point of the evils of the times, and he could correct them, and no one could change the evils of officialdom for more than 150 years, but he could ruthlessly reform them, and he was a recognized talent of the government and the opposition.

In addition to serving the country with all his heart, he never cheated for personal gain, accepted bribes, and was an impeccable and honest minister. When it comes to diligence, honesty, integrity, and courage, there is no one who is too high-minded among the ministers of the DPRK and China. Going against such a person, whether you win or lose, is a great damage to your own reputation.

Zhang Juzheng's worries are also Xu Jie's concerns...... Directly dealing with Gao Gong will bring a lot of suspense, but he really can't bear it, he continues to fight against himself, so Xu Ge Lao will hint at the student and let him find a way to help him go to this big trouble.

Who knew that this Zhang Juzheng obviously didn't want to go against Gao Gong. This made Xu Ge Lao disheartened for a while, it seemed that he was used to him not being presentable, and he dared to pretend to be confused with himself, Xu Jie's mood was gloomy for a while, and he sighed and said: "Taiyue, for the teacher!" I am forty out of sixty this year, and I am not able to make decisions by virtue of my strength; The turbidity current is unrestrained, and it cannot be cleared by inches of glue. I really don't have the energy to do as much as you young people do. In fact, I have long had the idea of hanging up the seal and going back to my hometown. But if this word comes out, it will touch the edge of slander, turn to slander, and lead to a calamity. After a pause, he sighed and said, "I can only press my heart, and I can only be ruthless." But how long it will last, the old man doesn't dare to say, I hope you can pick up the girder and take over my mantle as soon as possible!"

"Teacher......" Zhang Juzheng heard him talk about this, and he couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore

I was able to suppress my helplessness, so I had to nod lightly and said, "En."

You don't have to say it, students know how to do it......"

"Hmm......" Xu Jie let out a long sullen breath and said, "With your words, I will."

Relieved. ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed again in his heart, thinking that he, a disciple of the Xu Rank, was lucky, who else was

Do you know, what about your sadness and helplessness?

Leaving Ouchi and walking out of Chang'an Street, Zhang Juzheng got into a sedan chair and waited for his family to swim on the side

Seventh, hurry up and report in a low voice: "The silent doorman went to Gao Gong's house today."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes froze when he heard this, and he didn't say a word. It wasn't until the sedan curtain was lowered that he slowly shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's worthy of Shen Cunyan, I'm not as good as it!" There was not much regret in the words, but there was envy and relief...... In this officialdom woven by the relationship between protégés and former officials, it is too difficult and difficult to maintain one's independence and even establish a faction. Therefore, Shen Mo would rather ask Gao Gong for forgiveness than join Xu Jie's command again, precisely to keep his hard-won independence...... After all, no matter how close to Gao Gong is, it's just an alliance, far better than being a student to others.

It's just that Shen Mo can be independent, but he can't, because people are silent, have experienced hardships, and have been working hard for more than ten years, and they have long had their own power. And although he Zhang Juzheng debuted nine years earlier than Shen Mo, he has been protected and cultivated by his teacher like a greenhouse flower, although there are many fewer ups and downs, but he cannot form his own power, once he loses the support of his teacher, he will be nothing.

"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I am worried!" Sighing and singing, Zhang Juzheng said to himself: "Let's go, let's go, people always have their own way, and I hope to go the same way." Ba!"

The sedan chair was lifted and moved forward steadily.

After dropping out of the dynasty for the fifth day in a row, Xu Jie finally couldn't help it, and knelt outside the Qianqing Palace for an hour, which can be regarded as seeing Emperor Longqing in the circles under his eyes. Seeing that when the old Shoufu was helped up, his legs were swaying, and he couldn't stand anymore, Long Qing was quite upset and said: "Why are you so old, all the people who look up to the province are wise and capable, and the old man who seeks the country, I am twelve points of trust." The affairs of government affairs are planned and handled by you and the elders of the high cabinet, and there is no need to do everything to my will...... The etiquette of the early dynasty is cumbersome, "I come once a day, I am too tired for the ministers, so I don't think there is any need to do it every day, right?"

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that the emperor had abandoned his authority, Xu Jie was so depressed that he wanted to scold, so he suppressed his anger and said: "The early dynasty is the ancestral system, except for the death of the emperor's relatives and important ministers, he can drop out of the dynasty to show his mourning, and he should not be exempted from the dynasty." In that year, due to the fire in the palace, Emperor Xiaozong stayed awake all night, in a trance, and only begged to drop out of the dynasty for a day, and it was necessary for the cabinet to carefully study before agreeing to avoid the day. The martial temple and the world temple broke this ancestral system, and as a result, it damaged the reputation of the millennium and made future generations lose respect!" Seeing that the emperor was silent, Xu Jie advised again: "The deepest repentance in the edict of the first emperor is 'The court talked about the early abolition ▼, since you promised in the edict of Dengji, you will change the reckless government of the previous dynasty, be diligent in government and love the people, and self-denial and revenge." Now that he has been on the pole for less than a month, he has dropped out of the dynasty one after another, what do people in the world think? How can the historian put pen to paper?!"

Seeing that the emperor was still silent, he took off his official hat and kowtowed heavily: "The old minister, as a Zaifu, can't cause Jun Yaoshun, which is the biggest dereliction of duty, so he can only ask His Majesty to resign and retreat!"

The emperor had no choice but to get up quickly, helped him up with his own hands and said: "Yuan Weng, don't go down to me, I can't go to the court, the last court?"

"Really?" Xu Jie didn't believe it.

If it weren't for the Qianqing Palace, he would definitely think that this was Master Meng disciplining an old man who liked to escape

Learning children.

"I promise not to do it?" Long Qing nodded helplessly, changed his words, and put forward his own request

Begged: "But there is one condition. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Xu Jiexin said, as long as it is not too excessive, I will promise you anything.

"I went to the court to return to the court, but I don't understand those state affairs, so as not to make mistakes, I will meet in the future

If there is a boss to play, the auxiliary minister will reply on my behalf. Long Qing put forward the wonderful idea that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"No way!" Xu Jie almost jumped up, and said loudly: "The country has a long monarch, how can you allow your subordinates."

Substitution? "Treating the emperor as a puppet, that's what the power traitor does, and Xu Ge Lao can't come.

"But I really can't do it!" Long Qing was not in a hurry, and spread his hands and said: "What should I promise,

What shouldn't be agreed, I'm really uncertain, and Yuanru doesn't want to make a mess of state affairs. ”

"......" Xu Jie was bored for a long time. And make a final effort and say="The emperor is not sure. only

If you don't reply first, after the early court, move to the Xihua Palace, consult the ministers, and then make a holy judgment!"

It's tired enough to go to the early dynasty, and I have to go to cram school after I finish it, it's like a dead man, how can Longqing accept it? But he didn't refute Xu Ge Lao, so he sat absent-mindedly, didn't say yes, didn't say no, and flew back to the warm fragrant nephrite in the harem with a heart.

Seeing the emperor like this, Xu Jie knew that it was not too late to hurry, so he had to take a step back and said: "It's not particularly important!), the cabinet will vote first, but if there is a major event, the emperor will need to move west."

Hua Yi Yi R One

"Okay...... Long Qing reluctantly agreed, and after speaking, he got up and said, "Ge Lao."

Nothing, right? ”

"Ah, it's all right." Xu Jie's reaction was a little unresponsive.

"Then you go get busy first, and I'll go back." After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Jie's retirement

circle

So he went to the back first, as if something was hooking his soul.

Looking at the figure of the emperor coming and going, Xu Jie shook his head helplessly and sighed, but in any case, the emperor has returned to the early dynasty, and he will try his best to persuade him and do his duty as an old minister.

Longqing still kept his promise, and the second was born, and he recovered early.

Shen Mo still came to the court early, and saw the high-arched sedan chair stopped in front of the Xi'an Gate, as if waiting for someone.

He understood, got off the sedan chair, walked to the high-arched sedan chair, and said with a hand: "Ge Lao."

The sedan curtain trembled slightly, and after a suffocating moment, it was opened, revealing Gao Gong Shao's embarrassed old face: "Heheha...... It's Jiangnan, you're early. ”

"You're early." Shen Mo naturally supported the sedan curtain, which was convenient for him to get off the sedan chair with a high arch, and said with a smile: "It looks good today." ”

"Oh, yes, hehe......" Gao Gong got down from the sedan chair and walked with him to the noon gate. On the way, he looked silent several times, his lips pursed several times, and finally he whispered: "Calm down and think about it, it really can't be that you leaked the secret." ”

"Not really." Shen ∽ smiled.

"I'm really sorry about what happened that day...... Gao Gong said apologetically and sincerely: "That's all I have."

Stinky temper, start a fire, you can't control yourself, Jiangnan, please bear more. ”

"Where is the old man?" Shen Mo hurriedly said: "Thinking about current affairs is not the true temperament of people" I admire it too late."

The louder he slapped his fart, the more unflattering Gao Gong felt, and when it was almost noon, he patted Shen Mo's shoulder and said, "Anyway, I can't help you, let me do you a little favor later." After speaking, he made a deep slap at him, and he couldn't stop him silently.

At this time, the officials had already arrived, but they all saw this scene in their eyes and said in their hearts: 'Which one is this?' Will it be reconciled? No matter what they thought, the rumors of discord were completely gone.

Xu Jie also saw it) couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said in a low voice = "No body one one one one" but the river and the sea turned over in his heart, and secretly said: 'Taiyue, you have missed the ...... this time' In fact, the cause of the whole thing is that Zhang Juzheng heard the news of the emperor's desire to establish a prince from the palace, and after discussing with Xu Jie, he decided to take the first step to write the book in order to achieve the goal of killing three birds with one stone: but r:A improved Juzheng's status and built momentum for him to enter the cabinet as soon as possible; It can play a subtle role of distancing between the high arch and the silence, so as not to really become iron buddies; forced silence to have no choice but to return to the teacher's camp.

In fact, Xu Jie's psychology is very subtle, you must know that the teacher-student relationship in officialdom is equivalent to the father-son relationship in life. In addition to the protection and help given by the teacher, the student is the continuation of the teacher's political life. Therefore, there is a saying that 'a teacher for one day and a father for life', and it is inevitable that teachers will regard their students as their own forbidden body, and they are not allowed to grow weeds on this piece of self-reserved land.

Besides, as a parent and teacher, sometimes he doesn't realize how eccentric he is, and he still thinks that he is good at silence...... Otherwise, how can Zhang Juzheng, who is a senior brother, only have three grades, but his junior brother is silent but has already been from the second grade?

This is a typical bandit logic, and he takes Jiajing's cultivation of silence as his own. But Xu Jie didn't realize it himself, he still felt sad for Shen Shu and Gao Gong getting closer and closer. So after getting the news of Zhang Juzheng, he decided to repeat his old tricks, emulating the original separation between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and also creating a rift between silence and Gao Gong.

Of course, he knew that Shen Mo would guess who did it, but Xu Jie was not worried, because the bond between teachers and students was something that you couldn't get rid of. Moreover, with Xu Jie's understanding of Shen Mo, he knew that he was a very practical person, and once he found that there was no way out elsewhere, he would definitely come back to find him. Xu Ge has planned it...... When the time comes, he will not say a few words to him, and then soothe him with Nirvana, so that he can feel that 'only a teacher is good in the world', and finally he and Zhang Ju are holding hands and entering the cabinet together. The little resentment of silence must be like the remnants of snow in spring, which will melt in an instant.

The result is different from the assumption, his first goal was perfectly achieved, Zhang Juzheng took the lead in proposing to establish a prince, which can be regarded as planting a good fate in the emperor, the concubine, and even the future prince Shaoli, and the benefit is not only to enter the cabinet? The second one was also reached at first, and Gao Gong's violent temper really broke with Shen Mo in public; But the third one was only halfway there, and it went in the opposite direction, and the second one was overthrown, and after a short period of confusion, he was embarrassed, and he would rather put away his pride and go to Gao Gong to repair the relationship, rather than come to him, the teacher, to give in.

If ten years ago, this kind of behavior must have been childish and impulsive, but ten years later, "it is old-fashioned, spicy, and even vicious—I have long seen that the teacher-student relationship is mutual, and if a student cannot oppose the teacher, how can a teacher harm his own students?"

For example, Xu Jie, even if he hates silence to death in his heart, he can't talk to others like a resentful woman, and he can't deal with him openly and secretly before he is sorry for himself.

Hehe, I slept for a while, and I felt that I had something on my mind, so I quickly got up and finished writing...... (To be continued,
