Zheng Guang felt it when he dictated the recital, even if he wrote the recital, he could write that kind of feeling of pun, escort, neat and neat, catchy to read, giving people a very gorgeous feeling, it was easy to move people's hearts, and in order to impress Emperor Jiajing and achieve the purpose of reducing and reducing the taxes of the land of Sanwu, Yan Ne also carefully revised it, chewed the words, racked his brains to write a piece of extremely gorgeous words, and strived to be moved by Emperor Jiajing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The emperor was indeed moved and exempted from taxes, but at the same time, the emperor also noticed Yan Ne's writing and Zheng Guang's words, Yan Ne's writing is definitely not as good as Zheng Guang, and Zheng Guang's writing is not as good as Yan Ne, the two together, it is good, Yan Ne's article, Zheng Guang's words, combined, will definitely make God feel my pious faith!

The emperor so took into account.

Of course, by the way, exercising these two young people, especially Zheng Guang, to prepare for his later release to the southeast is also a secondary purpose to be achieved......

It wasn't until the two of them walked into the Wuyi Hall that Yan Ne reacted, and said with an expression like eating: "So, the reason why our Long Live Lord promoted us to the cabinet to do things is because he took a fancy to my literary talent, let me write green words, and also took a fancy to your calligraphy, and asked you to be the main writer, right?" ”

Zheng Guang nodded helplessly: "It seems that this is the case, in exchange, we got the opportunity that other Hanlin can't get to break the head, if you really want to count it, we still earn it, after all, there are too few opportunities to learn behind the elders, and there are very few opportunities for Hanlin to have us over the years, let's make it...... right."

Yan Ne really felt that he was as disgusting as eating a piece of, and his heart was full of grief and dissatisfaction, so he said in a low voice: "Poor people in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods, a talent is learned, and it is not used to benefit the world, but it is used here, the saddest thing in the world is nothing more than this...... Pingzhi, you say, why are there so many people in ancient and modern emperors who pursue immortality? Is immortality really that good? ”

Zheng Guang also sighed without a trace, and said: "For the emperor, enjoying the prosperity and wealth of the world has reached the extreme, in addition to the pursuit of immortality and great martial arts, what else can be pursued?" Strong as the first emperor, as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as bright as Tang Taizong and Tang Xuanzong, are all on the road of pursuing immortality, not only did not seek immortality, but provoked a bad reputation behind him, casting a shadow on his merits.

But we are in different positions, the teacher once said that people in different positions have different views on the same thing, maybe we think that immortality is a matter of indifference, but the emperor will not think like this, we will think that money is something outside the body, but businessmen will not think like this, we will think that reputation is a very important thing, but corrupt officials do not think so...... It's just a different location......"

Yan Ne sighed heavily, and then said hatefully: "The livelihood of thousands of people that can be touched in front of you, or the untraceable immortality that is far away in the sky, which is more important, can't you really tell the difference?!" ”

Zheng Guang frowned, and said: "Be cautious, you must be cautious, if you have anything to say in your heart, don't say it, and now we still earn it, if you want to achieve great things, how can you not pay, Xia Ge is old for the country, for state affairs, and often writes green words to Your Majesty, that is to better handle state affairs, think about it like this, it will feel better." ”

Yan Ne sighed helplessly, shook his head, slowed down his pace, looked at Wuyidian's eyes were no longer as yearning and pursuing as before, and thought silently in his heart: Even if there is a big opportunity to enter this cabinet in the future, but he has to keep writing green words to flatter and consolidate his position, isn't he the next prime minister of green words? Being ridiculed and despised by others, becoming the most hated appearance of oneself, even if you stand at the pinnacle of power, so what? Can I really forgive myself when I dream back at midnight?

Zheng Guang saw that there was a strong grievance in Yan Ne's eyebrows, and he intended to enlighten him, so he tried his best to change the topic, and happened to see a row of low and dilapidated wings on both sides of the Wuyi Hall at this time, so he asked curiously: "Minqing, the main hall is where the elders of the pavilion work, but where are these two rows of low and dilapidated places?" Utility room? ”

Yan Ne raised his head and looked at it, and then smiled helplessly: "That's where the cabinet elders sleep on weekdays, and when we join the cabinet, there will also be a room for temporary rest, so as not to be able to go home and sleep when government affairs are too busy." ”

Zheng Guang was a little surprised: "The elders live in such a place? ”

Yan Ne nodded: "This is not bad, I don't know anything about Pingzhi, Xiyuan is low-lying and narrow, and they are all east and west rooms, exposed to the sun in summer, cold in winter, working here is really the best place to hone your mind, otherwise how many people are elders, we are just insignificant little Hanlin?" ”

Zheng Guang was stunned.

Seeing this, Yan Ne smiled and said: "Just kidding, I've heard the seniors mention it before, Xia Shoufu said earlier, this is still the result of the emperor's grace, the earliest time in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, although His Majesty often lives in Xiyuan, but the ministers have no fixed residence here, and they come with the call, and they have to go back and forth between Xiyuan and the Forbidden City twice or even three times a day, and they leave and return home late at night, which is like a common thing."

The journey to and from the Forbidden City, Xiyuan and home is not very close, spring and autumn are fine, the summer sun is scorching, the winter north wind is whistling, the elders and ministers are miserable, and there are those who have been sick for several months, and then His Majesty heard about this, knowing that the elders have worked hard, so he ordered to open the left and right wings of the Wuyi Hall as a worthy house, and gave it to live and work from the ministers or officials, so that the elders and officials of the cabinet were exempted from the pain of running back and forth when the government affairs were busy, I heard that when the government affairs were busiest, the old Xia Ge lived here for three months and did not go home!

We are small people, we won't be so busy, it's not that we have to live here, but there is a room, in case there are too many things, we can't finish it, we can't leave the imperial city until late, there is a room to live in, free from a lot of suffering, although it is low and dilapidated, but it is not that it can't live in people, dinner can also go to the cabinet canteen to solve, I heard that the level of this cabinet canteen is much higher than the level of the Hanlin Academy, and it is a blessing! ”

In a few words, Yan Ne's mind recovered, Zheng Guang smiled, and said: "Then it's the best, the most afraid is that I don't have food, I'm so busy that I'm hungry, then I can't stand it, okay, let's go and meet Shoufu, it's Si Zhilang, and I don't know what to do." ”

Yan Ne nodded, entered the main hall with Zheng Guang, and asked to see Xia Yan with a familiar car, Xia Yan heard that the two were coming, so he let the two of them in, put down the fold and pen in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "Last night, Your Majesty was very satisfied with your performance, praised you, and specially instructed the old man to transfer you to the cabinet to do things, increase your knowledge, and prepare for the future entrusted with major events."

You must always remember that the emperor's grace is vast, always be vigilant to yourself, come to the cabinet, you must be diligent in your hands and feet, and you will always benefit immensely when you encounter things, listen to and see more questions, and you will always benefit immensely. ”

Zheng Guang and Yan Ne hurriedly nodded yes, and at the same time, they kept slandering Emperor Jiajing's fake public and private behavior in their hearts.

Seeing that the two of them were modest and courteous, Xia Yan was very satisfied, and began to plan to let the two of them do things, but as if he remembered something, he looked in the direction next to him, turned his head and said to the two: "You go next door to see Yan Ge Lao, see what Yan Ge Lao has to say to you, and then come over, I have something for you to do, oh, Minqing, after going to Yan Ge Lao, you go to Zichen Hall first, the task assigned by His Majesty still has to be done." ”

Yan Ne's heart sank, and he nodded heavily.

Yan Song is not as majestic as Xia Yan, it seems that the whole person is very kind, seeing Zheng Guang and Yan Ne come to visit, he got up from behind the desk, pulled them to sit down, and asked about the life in the Hanlin Courtyard, whether he ate well and lived well, etc., as if he was a kind and kind old man, Yan Song was two years older than Xia Yan, and he was a real grandfather.

It's just that this old man's behavior is obviously at the level of the old man who touched the porcelain bear.

However, Yan Song didn't seem to see Yan Ne's faint alienation, and still taught earnestly: "Let the two of you come to the cabinet on duty, Your Majesty didn't discuss it with anyone, and said it directly, which means that your future is already in Your Majesty's heart, so at this time, as long as you work hard and work hard, naturally no one will lose half of you." After speaking, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "The cabinet duty room is under the nose of His Majesty, if you are lazy, it is inevitable that the saint will no longer be, so you must be able to take the word 'diligence' first, and always be vigilant, especially Minqing, the green words that Your Majesty wants, but you must be written well, if it is perfunctory, Your Majesty is furious, it is not good." ”

Although Yan Ne was reluctant to talk to Yan Song, Yan Song had said it to this point, and Yan Ne couldn't take Yan Song as a deaf ear, so he said with Zheng Guang: "Thank you Yan Ge for teaching." ”

Yan Song was slightly stunned, and then remembered something, so he opened his mouth and asked Zheng Guangdao: "Pingzhi, you are the champion of the new department, and when you read the papers, Xia Ge Lao was also your teacher, but how did I hear some rumors recently, saying that you and Xia Ge Lao are not commensurate with master and apprentice?" You are a new science and technology scholar, a new Hanlin, without the blessing of a teacher, this road, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk! ”
