When Hu Zongxian's Wu Jie was in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, he met in Xiyuan Yuxi Palace, and there was also a military attache with him.

At that time, Wu Jie had no position or power, and only served by the emperor's side, and never said a word to him.

Hu Zongxian only stayed in the capital for a few days before returning to Hangzhou, and there was no intersection between the two.

In this way, Wu Jie was already the closest person to the emperor, and Hu Zongxian was the first cadre of the Yan Party. Wu Jie and Xiao Yan had a very stiff quarrel, it can be said that Wu Jie and Governor Hu are different from each other.

Wu Jie came to the south this time on the secret order of Jiajing to urge Hu Zongxian to use troops as soon as possible.

Since the Japanese invaded Fujian and Zhejiang on a large scale last year, the Ming army has adopted the strategy of taking the lead step by step and defending the city steadily.

Emperor Jiajing was very angry about this, and you Lord Hu used to say that he would not send troops without military funds, so the imperial court will set up a gold bureau for you and have the power to collect commercial taxes on your own. If, one by one, you have a brain full of fat by setting up levels, you should always move. What's the matter if you don't send a soldier like this?

It seems that you have to find a powerful character to knock him up.

Jiajing thought about it, and the only ones who could be used and trusted were Wu Jie and Li Chunfang. Li Chunfang is busy with affairs at hand, and he has the actual government affairs of the first department, so he can't get out. After thinking about it, Wu Jie, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was bored in the capital, so it was better to send him over.

This person is famous, even in the middle of the six yuan, the first person in the past. Hu Zongxian is also a Jinshi, everyone is a scholar, no matter how you say it, it is not good to offend Wu Jie.

Besides, Wu Jie is a shrewd and decisive person, especially good at handling complex affairs, and it is most appropriate to send him.

Wu Jie was still very satisfied with his life some time ago, and went around the Hanlin Courtyard every day, and then went to Xiyuan to talk to the emperor and engage in feudal superstition activities. Anyway, the main task of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy is to observe politics. Increase political experience and qualifications. After a few years, he may be sent to the ministry to be an official.

When you have real power, I'm afraid that there will be no such leisure. Therefore. He simply let go of his heart, and spent all day long, and he was also moisturized.

But he didn't want the emperor to send such an envoy to himself, poor Wu Jie didn't know anything about military affairs, and it was just a joke to let him urge Hu Zongxian to use troops.

Hu Zongxian is a person, he has brought soldiers in Jiangnan for so many years. Regardless of connections, forces. or military experience, it is not comparable to his own two knives.

Why does Wu Jie urge others, besides, the party is the same and different, will the people of the strict party sell Wu someone's account?

No, Luo Longwen is also here. Because of the fact that his cousin was killed by Shui Sheng, Luo Longwen has completely turned his face with Wu Jie, so that's it. It's even harder.

Regarding the bloody case of the water, Wu Jie has nothing to worry about. First of all, it is impossible for Luo Longwen to bring people to him to arrest people. Wu Jie is also a bad thing. It represents the majesty of imperial power.

Even if Luo Longwen wants to take revenge, he can only take the normal legal route. In this way, this lawsuit will have to be fought. Nowadays, there are several factions in the imperial court that do not deal with the Yan Party, and some people will jump out to uphold the so-called justice for Shui Sheng. This is the special politics of the Ming Dynasty, which has nothing to do with justice and evil, only asks about the belonging of the camp.

However, if you want to urge Hu Zongxian to use troops as soon as possible, I am afraid that things will not be so easy. The people collected the money well, and the people in the army also made a fortune. Who wants to have nothing to do and fight with the Japanese invaders?

Wu Jie thought about it all night in the house, and he didn't come up with a good solution until he had a headache.

With a sigh in his heart, he could only hope that Hu Zongxian would uphold a public heart that was responsible for the country and the nation and drive out the Japanese as soon as possible.

If this matter is not done well, what face will I have to go back to Beijing on Wu Jie. What else is there to talk about. ..., this is the most difficult trouble that Wu Jie encountered after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Jie still has confidence in Hu Zongxian's character and morality, at least in historical records, this person's reputation is good.

Hu Zongxian had lived in Nanjing for a long time, but as soon as Wu Jie arrived, he went to Hangzhou. Obviously, he was deliberately avoiding someone, or not, Master Hu refused to see me, so I went to him in person.

It is also easy to go to Hangzhou, take a boat from Nanjing down the Yangtze River, and then turn down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it will be two days.

The official ship arranged by the Gongyuan Wangwu departed on the morning of the second day, and Wu Jie took a circle in Nanjing, and reaped a bumper harvest, and the luggage was ten times more than when it was used, but it took some work to pack it up.

When the entourage sent the luggage to the ship and came back to invite Wu Jie to the dock, he saw that the door was full of scribes shuttling back and forth to deliver films, and there were hundreds of scholars waiting in the courtyard, waiting for Lord Wu to receive him.

It turned out to be the ghost idea of Wang Wu, this time in response to the Tianfu Academy, this Lord Wang and the other magistrates of the eight counties have received a lot of benefits, and they have also ordered their protégés and acquaintances to show their talents. Originally, this was also an unspoken rule of the local imperial examination, and there were always many such human joints to pass every year.

The problem is that Wu Jie has a lot of complaints about this matter, and he even turned his face with Zhao Zhixian yesterday. After handing over the official position of the chief examiner, he will rush to Hangzhou.

Wang Wu and the eight magistrates came down to discuss it, and they all agreed that the chief examiner of this subject was still Wu Jie. As long as he is still the main examiner, he is embarrassed to impeach everyone. Besides, with Wu Jie's current power, others dare not come to investigate.

Therefore, the Gongyuan simply sent out the good news overnight, and early in the morning, the list was announced, and a raw rice was cooked and matured.

Because of this, early in the morning, the talents who have gained fame came to thank the teacher.

The talents all said that generally speaking, when the examiner took the scholars, they would set up a banquet in the Gongyuan to entertain Chinese-style candidates.

When the time comes, it will naturally receive a lot of benefits.

Like Lord Wu Jie, he drifted away as soon as he finished the exam, and he didn't take anything, but he encountered it for the first time, what a big clean official!

No, Lord Wu has cleared his name, but we can't lose this piece of heart. So, they all prepared gifts to come to the door to thank the teacher and see off the main exam.

The gift bag of the apprentice is naturally indispensable, and it is piled up into two hills in the ear room.

In this way, Wu Jie was bothered by his protégés all day, not only did he not make it, but his luggage was three points heavier.

By evening, it was finally the last two people's turn. One of these two is Huang Dong and the other is Zhu Mao.

Zhu Mao was the last to arrive, originally he had no illusions about his Zhongxiucai, but at dawn he unexpectedly received good news, and he couldn't help crying bitterly, knowing that this was Wu Jie's grace to himself.

At his own level, he knows that Zhu Mao is a good reader, and with his level, that is, the material of an old child, he doesn't want to make anything in this life at all. This time, he was able to show off his talents, all thanks to Wu Jie's pity.

Such a deep kindness, how can you not repay it.

So, Zhu Xiucai thought about going to apprentice to thank him. But he has no place to stand, and how can he buy gifts. ran around the city and begged for a whole day, and then borrowed two taels of silver and rushed to Wu Jie's residence.

When he entered the courtyard of Wujie, Shui Sheng took the red envelope in his hand, checked it with his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhu Xiucai, you are a real talent this time, the master said that Zhu Mao will definitely come, let me take you over to meet as soon as I see you." Hehe, I said Xiucai, why did you prepare this little silver, the least others come to is twenty taels, you are only two taels, it's too stingy. ”

Zhu Mao's face flushed: "Brother Shui, it's really ...... It's really ...... Ahem......"

"Ahem, what, ahem?" Shui Sheng returned the red envelope to Zhu Mao: "The eldest master said, I am not allowed to take your silver, go, don't rub it in." My lord has been delayed by you for a day, and he is in a hurry! "...," yes, yes, Xiaosheng will go. ”

When Zhu Mao entered the bookstore, he saw Wu Jiezheng talking to Huang Dong with a serious face.

Wu Jie: "Huang Dong, you are now a famous person. I also know that you have been reading the books of sages for more than ten years, and your studies are quite reluctant. Why is there no righteousness in the chest, a gentleman in the world, when he is honest and pure, and kind to others. ”

"Yes, yes, chastity...... My lord...... The teacher's lesson is ......" Huang Dong's face was full of shame, and he knew how to call Wu Jie for a while. Wu Jie is his classmate, cousin, and mentor, and this relationship is too messy.

He actually came over early in the morning, and Wu Jie deliberately hung him out for a day because he was tired of his power, just to teach him a lesson.

Wu Jie said lightly: "Huang Dong, it is said that we are relatives, so we naturally want to take care of you, and this time I reluctantly ordered you to show your talent." But it's not because you're a relative of someone from my Wu, it's mainly that your article is quite passable. In the future, you are not allowed to mention the relationship between you and me in front of others, otherwise, I will be the first to do you. Step aside! ”

"Yes." Huang Dong retreated with a look of shame.

Seeing Zhu Mao, Wu Jie smiled on his face and nodded at Shui Sheng.

Shui Sheng scooped a small bag and a letter from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhu Mao: "Zhu Xiucai, it is also your creation." This is the fifty taels of silver that the lord gave you, and there is a letter recommending you to go to the Yamen of Yandao in Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province to work as a clerk, if you still starve to death, then you are useless. ”

Zhu Mao: "Wow! A cry began: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Wu Jie sighed: "Live well, there is not only one way in the world to take the imperial examination. ”

Finally, after the exams were completed, the time had reached four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wu Jie took a sedan chair to the dock.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that Wang Wu and others were already waiting there to see off Wu Jie.

There are thousands of people gathered on the wharf, many of whom are scholars, and the two old men headed by them are holding a plaque of thanks, with four big characters on the book, "to virtue and to the public".

Seeing Wu Jie, tens of millions of people shouted at the same time: "Lord Qingtian! ”

In an instant, the mountain roared and the tsunami made Wu Jie take aback, and hurriedly asked the Wang House beside him: "Lord Wang, what's going on?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
