Chapter 510: A New Beginning

Your Majesty, Dear Emperor, can't we have a snack? Play and play, all play out of an assassin, still playing?

Zhu Houzhao obviously saw Xie Shen's displeasure, and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it difficult to get a Jingshi once, so naturally you have to have a good time and then go back." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I'm not like Mr., I'm stared at by those civil officials all day long, it's too unpleasant. ”

Xie Shen looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sad and indignant face, and said in his heart as if I had been playing.

If you want to play yourself, don't drag others into the water together.

"Your Majesty, the famous places in Suzhou and Hangzhou have made you play all over the ......"

"Sir, you mean, going to Yangzhou?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and asked happily.

Xie Shen: "......"

Xie Shen didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao thought he had acquiesced, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will make an order immediately and set off for Yangzhou!" ”

You're a big-headed ghost!

"Your Majesty has been out for a long time, so it's better to return to Beijing as soon as possible. This combination of work and rest is the right way, doesn't Your Majesty feel very tired after playing for a long time? ”

A combination of work and rest?

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, could this be another word invented by Mr.?

"Ahem, there is some truth in what Mr. said. But I'm going back this time, and it won't be easy to figure it out next time. ”

Zhu Houzhao stared at Xie Shen directly, making him feel that he was not trusted!

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty still wants to tour the south next year, the minister will definitely fight for Your Majesty!"

In desperation, Xie Shen had no choice but to give Zhu Houzhao a guarantee.

Zhu Houzhao was waiting for this sentence, and he was overjoyed when he heard it.

"I am relieved to have Mr. You's words. Hahaha, let's play for a few more days and I'll return to Beijing. Anyway, it's still a few months before the New Year. ”

Xie Shen: "......"

I have to say that Zhu Houzhao's wishful thinking is very loud, from Suzhou to Beijing, if you stop for two months along the way, it is not too long, and it will be the New Year within a month or two of Beijing.

Just now, he seemed to agree to accompany Zhu Houzhao to continue to play in the New Year?

cough, the perennial goose was pecked by the geese, Xie Shen felt very hurt......

But the gentleman said that the horse was difficult to chase. Xie Shen naturally couldn't go back on what he had already said, so he only looked at Zhu Houzhao with resentment to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhu Houzhao didn't see it, and happily stuffed a few dried fruits into his mouth and chewed them, well, crunchy.

......

......

Half a month later, Zhu Houzhao officially drove back to Beijing. The prefect of Suzhou is naturally the happiest, and he can rest assured that he has been hanging on the heart of the Son of Heaven after sending him away. Otherwise, with the emperor here, you can hold a fart for fear of startling the holy driver......

As Xie Shen expected, on the way back to Beijing from Suzhou, Zhu Houzhao was not idle, and he had a very enjoyable time.

If it weren't for the upcoming birthday of Empress Dowager Zhang, Xie Shen believed that Zhu Houzhao would be delayed for another half a month, a month.

At this point, the discipline of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must not be believed!

Xie Shen left Pei Qianhu to preside over the conscription, and he was still relieved about this. Building a new army is not something that can be done by patting the head, what is needed is continuous recruitment, training, and fighting. All three of these links are indispensable.

Without three or five years, it is not necessarily possible to train a new army that is sharper than the border army.

As for Tang Bohu, he naturally locked himself in the Peach Blossom Nunnery and was accompanied by the four books of Shiwen all day long, painful and happy.

Xie Shen believes that with Tang Bohu's strength, Enke will definitely be able to go to high school next year.

At that time, when Tang Bohu arrived in Beijing, he must ask him for advice from the Spring Palace...... Well, that's how the Spring and Autumn article was written.

Although Zhu Houzhao deliberately delayed, he would have to return to Beijing sooner or later.

When the imperial ship docked at the Zhangjiawan wharf, the civil and military officials, and the inner servants and guards had already lined up to bow down. Looking down from the boat, the scene is really spectacular.

Of course, Xie Shen, who was also on the boat, seemed to have made a bargain.....

Zhu Houzhao was not very happy, pouted and complained to Xie Shen: "What are you laughing at, sir, I can't laugh when I see the faces of these civil officials." ”

"Your Majesty might as well imagine them all as air."

Xie Shen followed the good path.

"Well, this statement of the gentleman can indeed be tried."

Zhu Houzhao said in his heart that he deserved to be the champion, and what he said was so reasonable.

The Son of Heaven tidied up his appearance, got off the dragon boat surrounded by a group of eunuchs, and strode away, completely ignoring the civil and military officials kneeling on either side, as if they did not exist at all.

The Son of Heaven did not speak, and these officials who were kneeling on their knees naturally did not dare to raise their heads.

The timid ones didn't even dare to come out, their cheeks were flushed, sweat was dripping down their backs, and it was still a little cold at the turn of autumn and winter.

didn't go far, Zhu Houzhao got on the imperial chariot prepared for him. At this moment, Xie Shen can not continue to accompany him, and when he is in Jiangnan, he can go in and out with Zhu Houzhao, because the etiquette there is not as strict as that of Jingshi.

If he dared to sit on Zhu Houzhao's imperial chariot in Beijing, the spitting stars of the officials would definitely spray him to death.

These guys like nothing more than to stand on the moral high ground and spray.

It's as if only they are doing the right thing, and even the slightest misconduct of others is a heinous and unforgivable crime!

For these disgusting virgins, Xie Shen's only way is to hide!

Can't you hide if you can't provoke it!

Back at the Xie family's house, Qianqian, Shui Yun, and Erya came out together.

Xie Shen's heart warmed, the feeling of home is really irreplaceable.

"Where's Xu'er?"

Xie Shen looked around and didn't see Xie Xu, quite puzzled. The little guy is the closest to him, and he has come over long ago when he learns that he is back.

"Look at the husband's biased heart, you know that Xu'er Xu'er, doesn't the concubine have even a little weight in the eyes of the husband?"

"Well, the lady laughed, but the husband was just a little worried about not seeing Xu'er."

Xie Shen said helplessly.

"Xu'er went to study, Mr. Wang now teaches him to solve problems every day, and often praises our family Xu'er for his academic excellence."

Xie Shen was naturally very happy. To be honest, he was very worried that Xu'er was taught by Confucianism to become an elm pimple, and with a master of mind like Wang Shouren to teach, he should not be led astray.

"I'm tired of my husband, so I'll go and rest first."

"Hmm."

As the so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Qianqian wants to stay with her husband very much at this moment, but she also knows that she should let her husband take a good rest first.

"By the way, husband, do you want to say something about Mr. Wang?"

Qianqian suddenly stopped Xie Shen and said.

Xie Shen nodded and said, "Naturally, Brother Pixian also went to say that our brothers haven't had a good time together for a long time." ”

He followed Emperor Zhengde on his northern tour, and after his southern tour, he only felt tired, and it was time to stop and take a good rest.

......

......

It was already late at night when Xie Shen woke up, he got up and walked to the yard for a walk, looking at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.

It has been more than ten years since he came to the Ming Dynasty, and he has unconsciously completely integrated into the life of the Ming Dynasty, which is a wonderful feeling, completely different from the fast pace of later generations.

Although Da Ming didn't have a computer and a TV, and Xie Shen's favorite football game, it allowed him to find a lot of things that he had lost.

That kind of brother, friend and brother, that kind of raising eyebrows is not something that future generations can feel.

If he was given another chance, he would still choose to cross without hesitation.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you ~ Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!"

Just when Xie Shen was full of thoughts, someone suddenly sang a birthday song.

Xie Shen looked up and saw Wang Shouren, Wang Shouwen, Xie Pi, Qianqian, Xie Xu, Shui Yun, and Erya standing at the moon gate together, singing birthday songs for him.

The birthday song was naturally taught to them by Xie Shen before.

He had sung for these relatives and friends more than once, but now he still felt moved when he heard Xie Shen from them.

"Thank you, thank you."

Xie Shen's eyes were red, and he said with relief.

"Haha, Siming, you are too dedicated to the public, you even forgot your birthday."

Wang Shouren stroked his beard with a smile, and his words were full of love.

Xie Shen is really too busy, although he accompanies Zhengde on his southern tour, he doesn't have much heart to play, and he has been planning for various things.

Just a rebellion against King Ning made him anxious, where could he remember what his birthday was.

"Brother Shouren, I'm afraid you already knew that I was back, right?"

Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "You just haven't said it, you want to surprise me?" ”

"Haha, the one who knows me is also Mingye." Wang Shouren said with emotion: "Since we have become officials, the time for you and my brothers to get together has become less and less. I took the opportunity of Siming's birthday to get together. ”

Wang Shouwen also continued: "Big brother is right, Siming, you are now the first important minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you will succeed Li Ge Lao in the future, I am afraid that you will be busier in the future." But there is one thing we have to say in advance, we have to get together once a month in the future. ”

"I still remember when we established the Poetry Society, Siming often said to me that real brothers can hand over their backs to each other, Siming can rest assured, even if everyone in the world is responsible for you, we will also stand on your side."

Xie Pi also said in harmony.

"Thank you all for ......"

Xie Shen said with a little choked up. After he entered the cabinet, he did ignore these warm things, but fortunately, it was not too late to make up for it.

"Daddy, Mr. has always praised Xu'er's academic excellence, and Xu'er also wants to be a champion like Daddy!"

"Xu'er is good."

Xie Shen patted Xie Xu's head dotingly, and said in a harmonious voice: "Xu'er will definitely be able to." But Daddy still has a requirement for you, that is, you must not be tired of yourself. ”

With the current family background of the Xie family, Xie Xu has no problem even if he eats and waits for death. Xie Shen actually doesn't want his son to join the officialdom like him.

There are too many muddy and shady things in officialdom, and he is really afraid that his innocent and kind son will change his heart after coming into contact with these things.

"That's not going to work! How can my eldest nephew be worse than his father, Siming is five yuan, and the eldest nephew is one yuan more, and even six yuan! ”

Wang Shouwen glared at Xie Shen and said.

"You......"

What else can Xie Shen say, he is still very helpless in this matter.

The cabinet scholars of the Ming Dynasty, their descendants were all stared at by the officials. As long as they get good results in the imperial examinations, the officials will chase the wind and splash dirty water on these scholars.

As a result, many scholars did not dare to let their sons participate in the imperial examinations, or did not dare to let their sons do too well in the examinations.

There's no way, the Imperial Historians have the privilege of acting in rumors, and these guys are like mad dogs, they will bite you hard and never let go easily.

There is no way to avoid suspicion, and the official voice is too important. If the child's reputation is stinky, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in officialdom even if he wins the title.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and the biggest exception is Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Jiangling also fought hard in order to prove that Lao Tzu was a hero, and his son was either the champion or the leader, and he had to be selected by the museum for the last time.

When Zhang Juzheng was in power, those officials were still a little jealous, and they didn't embarrass the Zhang family sons' group much, but as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, all the Zhang family's sons' groups were unlucky.

Although the revenge factor of Emperor Wanli is greater, it has to be said that there are also those civil officials who hate Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, sometimes you can't be too high-profile, and it's easy to be manipulated.

"Don't talk about this, the banquet has been arranged, let's go and celebrate Siming's birthday together."

Wang Shouren smiled and patted his younger brother's shoulder, which was considered to resolve the embarrassment.

This topic is really not appropriate to bring up in such an occasion.

"yes, don't forget about business."

Xie Pi also echoed.

Everyone gathered around Xie Shen to the front yard and sat down around the table. His own maidservants stepped forward to pour good wine for the people.

As the eldest person in the audience, Wang Shouren took the liberty to congratulate Xie Shen on his birthday on behalf of everyone.

After the ceremony, it's time to feast.

This kind of small gathering between relatives and friends is much warmer than officialdom, Xie Shen squinted his eyes slightly, let the cool breeze blow through his hair and cheeks, and enjoyed a rare time.

"How can I miss me on my birthday, sir."

Zhu Houzhao walked into the courtyard at some point, surrounded by Jinyiwei.

This can't blame the doorman for his dereliction of duty, who would dare to stop the Son of Heaven?

Xie Shen hurriedly got up to greet him, and all his relatives and friends also got up.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. I'm just here to celebrate my husband's birthday. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yong walked up to Xie Shen with a brocade box and said respectfully: "Little Pavilion Elder, this is a reward from Your Majesty." ”

Xie Shen took the brocade box and handed it to the housekeeper, it was too rude to open it at this time.

When the Son of Heaven came, he naturally sat on the top. Zhu Houzhao was informal, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

But everyone was uncomfortable like a stone in their hearts.

To be able to be in the emperor's heart and keep the emperor remembering his birthday, Xie Shen is undoubtedly very honorable, but he still has to go to the Tao.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very pleasant, and after being full of wine and food, Zhu Houzhao drove back to the palace. Everyone welcomed the holy car out of Xie's house, and then returned to the courtyard.

"Your Majesty's visit can disrupt our plans."

Wang Shouwen frowned.

"You talk a lot!"

Wang Shouren glared at his younger brother, so frightened that Wang Shouwen stuck out his tongue and said no more.

Xie Shen was very pleased, he would be thirty years old as soon as this birthday passed.

When a man stands at thirty, this is a new beginning.
