Chapter 901: How to Be the First Assistant

I have to say that Xu Jie is really able to rely on the old and sell the old, Longqing's original intention was that the old gentleman should go home as soon as possible, the sooner the better, but Xu Jie, in the name of leg disease, was stunned and didn't leave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He wants to see how much he can achieve in the game he has worked so hard to lay.

Unfortunately, not only did it not materialize, but on the contrary, it went in the opposite direction.

Xu Jie has three goals, the first is to support his successor Zhang Juzheng to come to power, the second is to limit Tang Yi's power, and the third is to create obstacles for Gao Gong's recovery.

Old Xu never imagined that Tang Yi would break all three of his wishful thinking by launching Zhao Zhenji.

Zhao Zhenji entered the cabinet before Zhang Juzheng, and he is already a well-deserved successor of the Xu Party, even if Xu Jie comes out to oppose it, it is useless.

Secondly, only Tang Yi and Zhao Zhenji joined hands in the cabinet, and the other emperors were postponed, obviously telling the world that Tang Yi's status is transcendent, and he can be compared with an old monster like Zhao Zhenji, he is a court boss, and he is completely different from those upstarts of the Longqing Dynasty.

Moreover, there are only two pavilion elders into the cabinet, and if the high arch is restored, the status is naturally different. If he wanted to liquidate Xu Jie, Lao Xu, who had already gone into the wilderness, would have no power to fight back at all.

And the relationship between Lao Zhao and Tang Yi is very deep, since that time Tang Yi came forward to help Zhao Zhenji block the gun, the two have formed a deep friendship.

If Zhao Zhenji brings a gun to take refuge, the huge force that Xu Jie has worked so hard to manage may make a wedding dress for Tang Yi.

Do you say that Xu Ge Lao can not hate Tang Yi?

"My lord, I think you still don't go to see Xu Jie, even if you go, you have to bring more guards, so that the old things are not good for adults!" Shen Mingchen reminded with concern.

Tang Yi couldn't help laughing out loud, "Xu Ge is old and serious, so he won't play such a low-level trick as assassination, but it's possible to dig a pit, just don't jump in." ”

Tang Yi was full of confidence and asked Sun Keyuan to prepare the carriage, and he only took an entourage and a coachman to Xu Jie's mansion quickly.

"It's Tang Xiang here, hurry up and invite inside." The butler was warmly entertained, and there was a hint of flattery in his expression.

Tang Yi glared at him, "Go and report." ”

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly, "The master ordered, Tang Xiang is here, there is no need to report." ”

"Humph! Xu Ge is highly respected, he is the teacher of a hundred officials, indifferent to fame and fortune, admired by the world, you slaves and maids had better serve carefully, if you are a little rude, let me know, I will definitely peel your skin! ”

Being a university scholar is different, Tang Yi glared, and the housekeeper was farting and urinating.

It didn't take long for him to run out of it, sweating all over his head, "Tang Xiang, the master said, please come in." ”

Tang Yi followed the housekeeper into Xu Ge's old mansion, and when he arrived at the second gate, he happened to see the three fathers and sons of the Xu family, Xu Fan and Xu Kun supporting their father left and right, Xu Jie trembled, and walked and swayed, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Just pretend!

Tang Yi thought to himself, but his movements were not slow at all, and he hurriedly ran to Xu Jie, and naturally took Xu Jie's arm from Xu Fan's hand.

"Elder Ge, are you okay with your bones? Do you want to ask Dr. Li to take a look? ”

Xu Jie said with a smile: "It's an old problem, I make it every winter, this year is worse than in previous years, and I see that the first month has passed, and it still can't be done." Doctor Li has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, he can cure the disease, but he can't save his life, people are old, they don't use it, this is life! The old man heard that he was writing a medical book, so don't delay his time. ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Elder Ge, I won't tell you, I'm also bragging, Li Shizhen's stubborn donkey, I can not move." ”

Xu Jie also smiled: "People with ability have tempers, the bigger the temper, the greater the ability, and most of the people who have no temper are useless." ”

These two Lala are miscellaneous, playing with wit, Xu Fan and Xu Kun can't hear anything, this grievance doesn't need to be described. Fortunately, Xu Jie saw that they were impatient, and after sitting in the study for a while, he waved them to retreat.

The two boys were pardoned and quickly slipped away, Xu Jie looked at their backs and shook his head.

"Okay, what do you think of the two of them?"

"The scholarly family is naturally excellent."

Xu Jie laughed and shook his head, "Okay, wait for these two boys to fall into your hands, and spare their lives." ”

Tang Yi was really stunned, and said in his heart Xu Jie, how can this be a person who is old and refined, and even sees his own thoughts? Tang Yi hurriedly said: "Ge Lao, although the two brothers are not informal, but there is no big evil or evil, not to mention that Ge Lao has done his best and worked tirelessly for the sake of Daming, Your Majesty will not forget you, and the people of the world will not forget you." ”

As for whether the memory is good or bad, Tang Yi didn't say.

Xu Jie didn't continue to entangle, gasped for a while, and his face recovered a little.

"Okay, the old man is going to leave Beijing tomorrow, after thinking about it, the old man still wants to talk to you, say a few words in his heart, the old man has let go of the burden of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a relief, but he has to carry it, it's difficult!"

Tang Yi said: "The elder of the pavilion is serious, and there are also elder Li Ge and elder Zhao Ge, and the burden is carried by the big guys." ”

Obviously, Xu Jie also knew that Tang Yi was insincere, Li Chunfang needless to say, Zhao Zhenji owed Tang Yi a favor, how could he have the face to compete with Tang Yi, after Li Chunfang left, Tang Yi was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!

After the New Year, he was just thirty years old!

In the first year of its establishment, it achieved the position of the first assistant, and in the past two hundred years, I am afraid that it is also the first person, uh no, it is the first person who has never been seen before!

Xu Jie was in a trance for a while, feeling as if there was a rising red sun around him, shining and dazzling, on the contrary, he was just a bad old man with a dying breath at sunset.

A generation of newcomers replacing the old is really impressive!

Xu Jie suddenly lowered his head, flipped through a stack of things for a long time, took out a newspaper, and sent it to Tang Yi.

"Okay, you look at this article."

Tang Yi took it, looked at it, and suddenly his face fell, the article was very short, only 200 words, saying that the earth of life is not flat, but a sphere, and the sun, moon and stars do not revolve around the sphere, but the sphere under our feet revolves around the sun, and the moon really revolves around us......

In the future generations, I am afraid that even primary school students know the simple astronomical knowledge, which is extraordinary in the Ming Dynasty!

Although Tang Yi vigorously introduced Western learning, astronomical arithmetic was of great use in the field of navigation and was very popular, but in the officialdom, few people talked about it.

I don't know what kind of wind Xu Jie smoked, so he took this thing out.

I heard Xu Jie's recitation: "The sky is like a chicken." The celestial bodies are round like projectiles, the earth is like a chicken in the middle yellow, and it lives alone in the sky, the sky is big and the earth is small. There is water in the sky, the sky covers the earth, and the shell is wrapped in yellow - hehe, the line is well-read and strong, you should know who said this, right? ”

"It's Zhang Heng, he mentioned it in the "Armillary Notes".

"It's worthy of Wen Kuixing, it's agile." Xu Jie's smile suddenly retracted, and he became extremely serious, he talked about his body, and said in a low voice: "More than a thousand years ago, the old ancestor figured out these things, why did no one talk about them after so long, okay, do you know the reason?" ”

Tang Yi's pupils shrank, and he replied slowly: "It's a celestial phenomenon, a celestial induction!" ”

"That's right!" Xu Jie sat back in his chair vigorously, "The Three Platforms and Five Constants, including everyone in the world, except for one person, who is this person?" ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Hmm!" Xu Jie nodded happily, "The monarch's father is like the sky, but he is not the sky, only God can control his son." ”

It's really unexpected, Xu Jie's words are heaven-shattering, there is definitely no shortage of geniuses in the past dynasties, and their thinking about the distant universe may be far beyond the imagination of future generations.

It's just that these insights have been discarded by the Shiren group.

Without the mysterious number of days, where does the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly God, and the Divine Monarchy come from? All the changes in the heavens have been explained scientifically, and how can the scholars take advantage of the changes in the heavens to persuade the king?

The development of astronomy will shake the foundation of feudal rule.

I'm sorry, in order to be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, even if it makes sense, let's drown in the long river of history!

"Yes, the grandfather is wise and martial, limiting the possibility of eunuchs, relatives, and military generals, and grandpa Cheng has restricted the clan, and in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the world can be called peaceful. However, Zhengde and the first emperor came out one after another, a Jiazi, the imperial power was dominant, and he acted recklessly, almost ruining the good situation! ”

Xu Jie said this, he was indeed a little excited, his life basically coincided with the Zhengde Jiajing two dynasties, what he saw when he was young was Zhengde's nonsense, and after entering the office, he was facing the absurd Jiajing.

The dangers brought by the flood of imperial power are known to Xu Jie better than anyone else, but he is also more helpless than anyone else.

"As the first assistant, carrying the hope of all the people in the world, you have to control the emperor and his minions for the people, and if you can fight for one point, one point! We can't watch them take what they want, treat the world as private property, and act wantonly! Xu Jie's face flushed excitedly, and he suddenly sighed again, "But then again, there are really not many weapons that can be used, nothing more than two things, one is the change of the sky, when will this happen, how much movement will there be, no one can say." Then there is the ancestral family law, only by using the predecessors to restrain the descendants, can we be justified. ”

Xu Jie asked again: "Okay, do you know whose hands the ancestral family law is?" ”

"Officer Kedao!" This time, Tang Yi answered more quickly.

Xu Jie nodded with satisfaction, he could see from Tang Yi's expression that this young man had indeed sensed Shousuke's responsibility. I have to say that at this point, Tang Yi is far away from Zhang Juzheng.

The two political enemies actually had a common insight, which made Xu Jie embarrassed.

"Okay, as the first assistant, you must understand your position, you must not learn to be strict, do you understand what the old man means?"

Tang Yi stood up and bowed deeply.

Said gratefully: "The teachings of the elder of the pavilion are engraved in the heart, if one day, the practice can avoid being ruined, thanks to the elder of the pavilion!" ”

Saying that Tang Yi thanked him for his kindness again, Xu Jie said so many words, and he was also a little tired, so Tang Yi withdrew from the Prime Minister's Mansion, got into the carriage, and rushed back home.

Turning the day, Xu Jie, with a full stomach full of sadness, left the capital where he had lived for decades under the escort of Jinyiwei. The hustle and bustle behind him gradually faded away, and the loneliness and coldness surrounded the old man.

Along the way, there were no local officials to greet them, in the past, these people were not qualified to enter the door of the Xu family at all, they could only bring gifts, and wait outside the Xu Mansion pitifully, watching their families full of contempt, bringing things in, and kowtowing honestly outside the door, they were satisfied, and they could boast for a long time, and they were finally stained with the fairy spirit of Xu Ge Lao.

Now that Xu Jie was in front of them, they didn't have the courage to meet this famous old man.

has been entering the territory of Songjiang, and finally there are hometown fathers, relatives, friends, and protΓ©gΓ©s who have come, and finally did not suffocate Xu Jie......

Xu Ge was gone, but the teachings he left behind made Tang Yi taste it for three days.

To tell the truth, what kind of calculation Xu Jie, Tang Yi knew in his heart, first of all, it was natural to protect the Yanguan and wake up Tang Yi, where their value lies, and secondly, to encourage Tang Yi to compete with the emperor, and finally embark on his old path and end up gloomily.

I have to admit that Xu Ge Lao is an out-and-out Yang conspiracy, and the reason why Zhang Juzheng's reform failed is because he is too realistic, and he dare not touch the commercial tax, the clan, or the imperial power...... He was just going around on the easiest land, and although he barely managed to collect some land endowments and temporarily reverse the empty treasury, his success was like a castle on the sand, unable to withstand the wind and rain, and fell at the slightest touch.

People are dead!

Tang Yi clenched his fists and shook his head hard, throwing these four words out of the Nine Heavens Cloud.

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has already arrived in my own hands, Xu Jie, don't worry about it, I Tang Yi is fully sure that I can go further than any of you, just look at it!

Tang Yi was full of ambition and was ready to become the first assistant of the empire. (To be continued.) )
