The great heat is followed by the beginning of autumn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wait for the cool breeze to come; The second candidate is Bai Lusheng; Three chilling cicadas. ”

The arrival of the beginning of autumn is marked by the turn of summer to autumn, and the weather has gradually cooled down since this day.

The people of Beijing cut the red leaves of the heather into petals and inserted them on the sideburns to celebrate, and as for the princes of the court, they also put down their busy official duties to accompany the Son of Heaven in the autumn hunt.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were not as excessive as those of the Song Dynasty, requiring the Son of Heaven to refrain from even hunting.

In their opinion, as long as His Majesty the Emperor does not patrol the north and south all day long, it doesn't matter how many times he hunts in a year.

In fact, since the traitors Liu Jin, Qian Ning, and Jiang Bin were demoted, the originally ridiculous monarch father seemed to be a different person. The ministers attributed this credit to Xie Shen, a cabinet scholar, because only the elders of the small pavilion could persuade the emperor to move the emperor after watching the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

For the Son of Heaven, it is a blessing to be able to escape from the cramped Jingshi to breathe through the wind, even if it is only for a moment.

He was very satisfied with the results of the autumn hunt, not only hunted several fierce beasts with his own hands, but also taught Mr. Xie how to hunt deer.

On weekdays, Mr. Xie taught him, but this time it was reversed. Seeing that Mr. was at a loss with a hunting bow, Emperor Zhengde couldn't help laughing.

In the short period of time of hunting, they ceased to be kings and ministers, put down all their masks, and did their true best. This is not easy for a king and a courtier.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a custom of sacrificing the Five Emperors on the day of the beginning of autumn, but in the Song Dynasty, this custom disappeared, and so did the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde was most afraid of trouble, so he was naturally happy.

For him, more is better than less.

After the autumn hunt, His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate to hide in the leopard room outside the Xihua Gate, and left the Manchu government affairs to the three scholars in the cabinet.

The king neglected his administration, the cabinet carried the crown, and everything was business as usual.

In the cabinet, Xie Cifu took leave to recuperate, and only Li Shoufu and Xiaoge Lao were on duty.

On this day, Xie Shen handed a letter to Lord Shoufu, and said in a harmonious voice: "Xiya Gong, take a look, Brother Shouren's implementation of the new policy in Huating seems to be very effective now." ”

Li Dongyang took the letter, swept it over, and said with a slight jaw: "Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog." Brother Dehui has a son, and he has no regrets in this life. ”

Xie Shen couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this. Everyone else is that the son is more expensive than the father, but this Wang family is good, but it seems that the father is expensive by the son.

When people mention Wang Hua in the future, do they want to say that this is Wang Qincha's old father?

"Su Songjin is in his own vein, and after defeating Songjiang, the pressure on Suzhou will be much less."

Since we want to change the tax, we must move Nanzhili, which is the heaviest tax in the world. And to move Nan Zhili, first of all, we must move Su Song.

This is a matter that affects the whole body.

"Well, what Xiya Gong said is right, now it seems that these gentlemen are just some strong outsiders. No matter how hard their necks are, they don't have a hard knife. If you really put a knife on their necks, they will all become turtles with shrunken heads. ”

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said, "Siming, your description is also interesting. ”

Xie Shen was secretly refreshed: "Xiya Gong, it seems that it is time to march to Your Majesty and promote the new policy in Nanzhili." ”

Li Dongyang said with a bitter face: "This is not in a hurry." Songjiang Prefecture's new policy has only been implemented halfway, and the effect of the commercial tax reform has not yet been seen. Let's wait and see. ”

Although Xie Shen was helpless, he also knew that with Li Dongyang's old and serious temperament, it was unlikely that he would directly agree to the implementation of the new policy in Nanzhili. Only by impressing him with the results can this old chief assist write to His Majesty.

At present, Li Dongyang is Xie Shen's most important political ally, and he is also the support of Xie Shen's political ideals, which must not be lost.

"What the old man said is, then we'll see."

Xie Shen said softly: "I heard that Your Majesty has recently become obsessed with playing chess, which is also a good thing. ”

Li Dongyang nodded and said: "Playing chess is conducive to cultivating nature, Your Majesty's status is noble, and it is naturally good to be able to calm down." ”

In fact, what Li Dongyang wants to say is that there is one thing that can tie the Son of Heaven, so he won't think about running out all day long. But this is not what a courtier should say, so when it comes to his lips, it is replaced by another set of words.

"Siming, you should be casual at this age, but you are confined to this cabinet duty all day long, which makes you miserable. It's better for you to rest in a few days, but Joe is coming back too, and you can rest for a while. ”

The Ming Dynasty's system of recuperation determined that the distribution of holidays was very uneven. Before and after the Chinese New Year, there are plenty of days off, but on weekdays, it seems to be stretched.

However, this has no effect on Xie Shen, an official of his level.

As long as he wants to rest, he only needs to say to Shoufu Li Dongyang. Unless it's a long vacation, even the Son of Heaven doesn't need to be alarmed.

It's called privilege.

However, Xie Shen had never enjoyed this privilege. The reason is simple, he can't watch the two old men busy with the tickets and enjoy themselves.

This is also a manifestation of responsibility.

Since you are in an important position, you can't have a vegetarian meal, otherwise what's the difference between it and those old fritters who are messing around?

Since Xie Qian took leave, Xie Shen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. For two months in a row, he was eager to move to the duty room to live, and there were not 100 or 80 copies of the daily ticket.

But man is not iron-clad after all, and although he is young, he still feels tired. Now that Xie Qian is coming back to work, Xie Shen can finally rest for a while.

If you prevaricate, it will be hypocritical.

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Then thank you Xiya Gong." ”

"The scenery of this West Mountain is excellent, and Siming doesn't need to go far, so it's good to go there to relax."

People are not machines, and there will always be a moment of emotional collapse after working hard for a long time.

What Xie Shen needs at this moment is not to travel far away, but to be alone for a period of time and completely empty himself.

Li Dongyang is right, Xishan is indeed a good choice.

"It just so happened that I bought a house at the foot of Xishan Mountain as an annex last year, and I have never lived there, and this time I happened to live alone for ten days and a half months."

"While the old man can still move, Siming, you can rest well. If the old man can't move one day, the burden will be on the shoulders of Siming alone. ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian joined the cabinet in the same year, and if there is no accident, Zhishi will be the front and rear feet in the future. Therefore, there is no problem with Li Dongyang saying this.

In fact, Xie Shen has been trained as a first assistant since he entered the cabinet. So much so that Jiao Fang, who had already entered the cabinet, was completely a foil, so he had a grudge against Xie Shen and made a mistake for burning Wenyuan Pavilion.

But that's all in the past.

"Don't say that, Duke Xiya, your old man is in good health, and you can at least help Your Majesty manage government affairs for more than ten or two years."

"Haha, isn't that old man an old monster."
