Chapter 317: Evening Scene
The Most Talented Man 317_Chapter 317 Evening Scene However, does Jiajing really not care about Lu Bing's life or death?
If it were someone else, seeing the emperor's expression at this moment, he might have been able to affirm this, but Wu Jie quickly came to the conclusion through historical materials that the truth was not as it seemed on the surface.
Judging from the history books, Jiajing has loved Lu Bing all his life, whether it is public or private, he is trusted and favored.
As for the Lu family's current fall into such a field, it is mainly involved in the dispute between the establishment of the reserve and the taboo of Jiajing.
However, the fact that the emperor was able to come to the door of Lu's house so late already explained his attitude.
"No, it's not." Emperor Jiajing nodded affirmatively: "Although the turtle has a long life, it is especially at the end of the time, let alone Lu Bing." "In this time and space, because there is no Tang and Song dynasties, most of the nobles use allusions to the Wei and Jin dynasties in their speech. Cao Mengde's poems are even more popular, and anyone can say them casually.
Wu Jie immediately replied: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, according to the minister, Lu Gong is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, who has served His Majesty for fifty or sixty years. There is no merit and hard work, he wants to see His Majesty, and it doesn't hurt to meet him. ”
Jiajing was obviously a little dissatisfied with Wu Jie's speech so directly, frowned slightly, and was about to speak, when at this time, a violent coughing sound came, and there was a bright light in front of him.
The two looked up, but it turned out that it was because the two of them were talking outside in a rage, which had alarmed the porter.
The porter carried a lantern and walked up while coughing: "Who, who is making noise outside the door in the middle of the night, leave quickly." "It's not loud.
What kind of family is the Lu family, if it was before, the porter would have scolded him for a while, and then someone came out with a stick.
But today it is very low-key.
Jiajing put on Da Yu's hood. Keep your head down. Hide your face in the dark.
This porter Wu Jie is acquainted, surnamed Zhong.
Wu Jie arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhong, and I am Wu Jie." ”
Zhong Menfang saw that it was Wu Jie, with a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly put the lantern on the ground and bowed his hand: "It turned out to be Master Wu, come over so late?" ”
Wu Jieyi grabbed his hand: "Mr. Zhong, what is the old man is not the old man, Hugh has to mention it again." I also came out of the Lu family. ”
"Yes, Wu Jie, you have been so famous in the capital recently, and they all say that you are a generation of poets, and our Lu family also has a light on your face. You came here so late, but you came to see the old lady? The porter coughed, coughing all over his head, but tears burst out of his eyes: "My Lu family is no longer in the house, the old lady is sick, and the eldest and second masters are waiting at home." In the past, the adults who had been brought by my Lu family did not come, but now this is the courtyard and the traffic is sparse. ”
"Yes. Wu Jie came to see the old lady today, how is his old man now? Wu Jie asked.
"I'm afraid that I won't die, but I can't stand tonight." The porter suddenly stopped coughing, and tears fell even more: "Wu Jie, you can come to see the old lady on his last journey today." I was so happy in my heart. ”
Jiajing suddenly interjected coldly and asked, "Didn't anyone else come to see Lu Gong today?" ”
According to the emperor, with Lu Bing's status and popularity in the court, someone will definitely come to see him off. It would have been a little embarrassing to meet the ministers on such an occasion.
Even if you want to see Lu Bing, you have to let Wu Jie clear the scene in advance.
This is also the reason why he brought Wu Jie over today, he really didn't want to reveal his identity.
Anyway, Wu Jie came out of the Lu family. It is said that it can be regarded as a family, Wu Jie proposed to send Lu Bing, and it was difficult for others to stop him. When the time comes, just follow him to meet Lu Bing.
Otherwise, if the civil servants in the outer court know, it will be another trouble.
The most important thing is that Wu Jie is an upright gentleman. Friends but not parties, trustworthy. "Who is this?" The porter glanced at Jiajing suspiciously, but he couldn't see the emperor's face clearly.
Wu Jie hurriedly explained: "This is an elder of Wu Jie, who has just come from the capital and has had a few encounters with Lu Gong before. I heard that Wu Jie came to see off Lu Gong, so he also followed. ”
Indeed, Jiajing came from the capital, Beijing.
But the porter was wrong, thinking that Wu Jie was talking about Nanjing. Today, although the central administrative institutions and imperial palaces of the Ming Dynasty are in Beijing, the officials of the Ming Dynasty still use Nanjing as the capital, and also retain a set of central organs in Yingtianfu, while Beijing exists as a companion capital.
The reason why this is so is because after Ming Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, he was subjected to great resistance, and he did not want to settle the truth, so he had no choice but to do it.
Zhong Menfang sighed, and coughed several times in a row, until he coughed up sweat. Only then did he say movingly: "It turned out to be the old lady's old man, you can come to see the old lady, this heart is really touching, but no other adults came to see Lu Gong today." ”
Jiajing was a little surprised: "Isn't there one, hasn't he promoted a lot of people before?" Also, there are also many clansmen in the Lu family who have prominent official positions, so don't they come? ”
Zhong Menfang had a trace of grief and indignation on his face: "I didn't come, and I don't know how many adults in this court have received the favor of the old lady." But now that the old lady has committed something, she is afraid of being implicated, how can she be willing to come? As for the rest of the clan, when the main family was in the scenery, they all pounced on them like flies seeing blood, and they all wanted to suck two mouthfuls. But once the old lady loses power, these people all disperse and go to find their own way? ”
"Damn!" Wu Jie was annoyed when he heard this, although he had been unhappy with the two masters of the Lu family, but it was just a personal grudge. If you really want to talk about it, the Lu family is also kind to him, and Wu Jie is also grateful in his heart.
"Oh, the birds have thrown themselves into the forest, and the white land is so clean." Jiajing snorted: "Gather because of profit, disperse because of profit, Lu Bing's vision and means of knowing people to do things are really not good." I think when he dealt with Xia Yan at the beginning, he had a hot fight with Yan Song! If all those who bear fruit are righteous and upright, why did they end up in such a field? ”
This is said to be careless in the past, and Xia Yan offended Yan Song back then. Yan Song followed Lu Bing's path, causing Xia Yan to be cut off and abandoned in the city, and Lu Bing played a disgraceful role in it.
After killing such a talented man as Xia Yan, Jiajing also regretted it in his heart.
When Zhong Menfang heard this, he didn't comply, and said angrily: "You are so rude. ”
Wu Jie was afraid that Zhong Gatekeeper would make Jiajing unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhong." The eldest and second masters. But waiting at the old lady's? ”
Jiajing was not angry, and still stood there expressionlessly.
Zhong Menfang replied: "The two masters have been waiting at the old lady's place for three days and nights, and they are now spending the night in the room, saying that they will wait for the meal before they go." ”
Jiajing: "Since they are not here, very good, Wu Jie, let's go in." ”
Talking. Just walk inside with your head held high.
Zhong Menfang was originally disgusted by what Jiajing said just now, but when he saw him so disrespectful, he was immediately furious, and he was about to step forward and twist his sleeve.
When Wu Jie saw it, he screamed in his heart, and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhong Gate's room, and said, "Mr. Zhong, can you lead us to meet the old lady?" ”
"Nope." Zhong Menfang shook his head and said, "Shizhen, you have offended the eldest master and the second master in the past, if I go in and report it." I'm afraid they won't answer. ”
Jiajing stopped suspiciously: "Wu Jie, when did you have a holiday with Lu Bing's two sons?" ”
Wu Jie was a little embarrassed, this matter was really difficult to answer, so he had to give it up and ask Zhong Menfang to go in and report.
Zhong Gatekeeper just smiled bitterly: "Shizhen." It's enough for you to have this heart. Even if I go to report, the eldest and second masters will not agree to let you enter the mansion. Jiajing suddenly became impatient, pointed to the bell gatehouse, and said to Wu Jie: "Give him your Ruyi and let him take it to Lu Bing." When the time comes, Lu Bing will definitely let you let us in to meet him. ”
"Yes." Wu Jie was already sure that this handle was given to Jiajing by Lu Bing at the beginning. No wonder Jiajing wanted to let himself come over with Ruyi before.
Wu Jie stuffed Ruyi into Zhong Gate's hand: "Mr. Zhong, please bring this Ruyi to the old lady, he has seen the old man, if he still doesn't see me, Wu Jie will immediately turn around and go back, and he will never entangle." ”
Zhong Menfang also knew Wu Jie's current status in Shilin, so it was not good not to give this face. I had to sigh: "Well, although I don't know what this Ruyi means...... This wishful thinking...... It's the old lady's handwriting. ”
The porter also found the line of words on the Ruyi handle, and his body shook suddenly: "Please go to the gatehouse and sit for a while, and I will go and inform the old lady." ”
After speaking, he welcomed Jiajing and Wu Jie to the gatehouse, and then took the ebony Ruyi and hurriedly walked towards the inner house.
The concierge of the Lu family is quite large, and it is also very neat and elegant, and when there are guests who come to visit, they will sit and wait here for the spread of the word.
There is a banner hanging on the wall of the gatehouse, which is Jiajing's handwriting: "Shi Xixian, Xian Xi Sheng, Sheng Xi Tian." ”
This piece of Wu Jie was already familiar with it when he was studying at the Lu family before.
Today, as soon as Jiajing entered the house, he stood in front of that pair of words, stood for a long time, and suddenly said: "Lu Bing is too selfish, and he is getting to the way he is now." If everyone is loyal to the country, I will never let him end up. ”
Wu Jie only stood behind him, silent.
During this time in the gatehouse, Jiajing and Wu Jie did not speak again.
The emperor's expression was also flat.
After a while, the porter rushed over, looking excited, and after entering the door, he bent down respectfully and lowered his voice: "The old lady heard that Mr. and Wu Jie are coming, let the villain invite you in quickly." ”
"Does he have anyone else anywhere?" Jiajing asked.
Zhong Gatekeeper: "No one else, all ...... all avoided ......" There was a tremor in his voice.
"That's good, this Lu Bing is a sensible person." Jiajing smiled coldly and strode down.
Under the leadership of Zhong Menfang, Wu Jie and Jiajing walked in the Lu family's mansion all the way, and they didn't know how long they walked until they arrived at a large courtyard.
Along the way, they didn't meet anyone, and the entire Lu Mansion was as if it was dead.
Bringing Wu Jie and Jiajing into the courtyard, Zhong Menfang pointed in the direction, and carefully retreated behind the gate, bowing his head and waiting.
At this time, Lu Bing's voice came from a bright room: "Can ...... But ......"
Jiajing suddenly said loudly: "Wenfu, I heard that you are going to die, come over to take a look, and if you can still walk, come out to meet." "Wenfu is Lu Bing's word.
"Hooray!" An old cry came: "The minister has finally looked forward to you." He was blind, his legs were crippled, and he could not move. ”
Jiajing: "Are you afraid of death?" ”
The cry was louder: "Long live Lord, the minister is so scared." ”
"It's right to be afraid, you must know that there is a great terror between life and death." Jiajing pushed open the door. (To be continued)
