Chapter 278 The Rice Snatcher Is Here (Big Chapter, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Even though the emperor allowed Wu Jie to concentrate on preparing for the exam and not have to go to the Xiyuan Leopard Room to serve him, Wu Jie still consciously went there every day or two to show his face.

His current identity is a little embarrassing, he is said to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but he only has a reputation and a poor Baba Wenyuan Pavilion school manager, if it is not for his special status, he is basically in a position that everyone is stepping on. Therefore, you still have to go to Jiajing often to hang out and get acquainted.

There is such a thing as human affection, even if it is a relative, if there is less movement, it must be born.

Of course, as long as you wait for yourself to be admitted to the Jinshi, order Hanlin, and have a status in the Shilin, everything is different.

In the past two days, with the release of his own five-word "Drinking Alone among Flowers" by Li Bai, it is not too much to describe it as a famous move in the capital. The rumors released by Yan Shifan and Li Fu before naturally disappeared under the impact of this poem.

The majestic momentum, the intoxicating verses, and the artistic conception of the fluttering immortals, compared with the five words of the old Xiaoge that only have strict rules to the core, are undoubtedly heaven and earth.

Xiao Ge Lao has lost ugly in the first game, and this extra game is even more defeated to the point of losing face.

No matter how you look at it, the victory and defeat have been decided, and there is no need to compete anymore.

Suddenly, the scholars suddenly felt a sense of great joy.

First, Wu Jie's poems are so good that they make people look up to the mountains. Besides, this Yan Shifan is really annoying.

The father and son of the Yan family have controlled the government for more than 20 years, formed a party for personal gain, and did many things that are indignant to God. In addition, Yan Shifan has a violent personality and the party is different, as long as it is not a strict party, he will be regarded as an enemy, and it is difficult for such a person not to make enemies.

More importantly, in the past few days, the system has been officially published on the mansion paper and distributed throughout the country. The imperial court also officially issued an official document, and after the year, it was officially implemented in the five southeastern provinces, presided over by the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang.

As soon as this news came out, the world shook and public opinion was in an uproar.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty had the habit of participating in and discussing politics since they came, and how could they not see the key points of this policy, in line with the principle that whoever benefited was responsible, and all the people thought that this system of centigold must have come from the hands of the strict party.

"Financially independent, and with an army of 100,000 in the five southern provinces, the Yan family is going to rebel!"

"Thief!"

"The great traitor!"

For a time, not only did the impeachment excerpts of the imperial envoys become more intense, but the people who were waiting to participate in the examination in the capital also scolded the Yan family.

Now, Wu Jie has won two consecutive victories over Yan Shifan with poetry, which is really happy.

First, Wu Jie's poems are really well written, and secondly, they will not miss any action that can crack down on the Yan Party.

Up to now, Wu Jie is completely hot in the capital, and in the gathering of almost all scholars, you can hear someone talking about this name, and raising a glass to recite the "a pot of wine among the flowers", and then drink it all, looking up to the sky and howling.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Wu Jie's fame at the moment with the sun in full swing and praise the city.

In the past two days, Wujie's house is also full of visitors, there are people who take the exam, there are people who take the township examination in the same year, and there are also many people in the Shilin who have official positions.

After two busy days, Wu Jie couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply escaped, preparing to stay in the leopard room for a day and ask for a clean up.

Emperor Jiajing is indeed a situation here, when Emperor Wuzong Zhengde's central institution Leopard Room was the most lively place in Beijing, but now it has been transformed into a great avenue by Jiajing. It had been thirty-nine days, the dripping water had turned into ice, and the entire leopard room was shrouded in snow, and there was not a single sound to be heard, and no figure could be seen. ..., and then look at the frozen lake, and the West Mountain in the distance, there are some hints of thousand-year-old temples.

Wu Jie was carrying a waist card that allowed him to enter and exit the palace freely, and the road was naturally unimpeded.

As far as Wu Jie knows, the recent Jiajing Emperor doesn't know whether he took the wrong medicine or what, and almost every day he has to worship the gods in the palace. It is estimated that his body seems to have shown signs of collapse recently, and according to Huang Jin, Emperor Jiajing's body is full of small red and cyan spots, like a leopard. The skin and flesh on the feet are also completely relaxed, and there is still puffiness, and it is a pit when you pinch it with your hands, and you can't get up for half a day.

This is a typical heavy metal poisoning, and even in later generations, it takes a lot of effort to completely cure. In ancient times, it was an incurable disease.

It seems that Jiajing will definitely be the same as in the real historical records, and he will not have a few years to live.

Wu Jie pondered in his heart, this disease really can't be alleviated by the medical methods of the Ming Dynasty, or will it be relieved by drinking some milk?

The emperor has the grace of knowing him, and Wu Jie still has a good impression of him.

After entering the leopard room, he was thinking about how to persuade Jiajing to take less Jindan, when he heard the voices of two duck males coming from the ear room next to the door: "Father-in-law An, you said, this Hu Dashun father and son are too difficult to serve, and he really thinks that he is the master of this leopard room. Please keep in mind that "

"Who said it wasn't, Xiaolin" Father-in-law An sighed: "No way, who let the family be favored by the Lord of Long Live, we can't afford to provoke it." ”

These two Wu Jie knew each other, their grade was not high, and they belonged to the miscellaneous people who served by the emperor's side.

Hearing them talk about a person named Hu Dashun, Wu Jie wondered in his heart, he hadn't heard of this person, what did he do?

He stopped and walked towards the house.

After Grandpa An sighed, Xiao Lin answered with some sadness and indignation: "Over the years, our waiter has been by the side of Long Live Lord, and we have seen more people. In the past, Shao Yuanjie Shao Tianshi, Lan Daoxing Blue Immortal, Tao Zhongwen Tao Immortal, saw us and was polite, that is called magnanimity! By the way, even the current Mr. Wu Shizhen is not more favored than the Hu family's father and son, and he doesn't have any shelf, which makes people want to get close. This Hu Dashun is better, his son Hu Yuanyu is simply not a thing, when this is somewhere. asked us for money and things all day long, and one was unhappy, so he pressed people with the big hat of delaying the big event of Long Live Ye Zhaijiao.

Just yesterday, I just bought a jade pendant and spent a year on it. As a result, the dog's miscellaneous hair was seen. The splitter snatched it, saying that he was going to give Banzai Ye a combination of medicine, villain, real villain! ”

Kobayashi's tone was full of resentment.

Eunuch An whispered comfort: "Xiaolin, you should bear with this." The father and son of the Hu family have not gained power for many years, and they are naturally extremely poor and vicious, and they want everything and everything. It's good to have Mr. Wu Shizhen here, but he has just learned about the Yuan, and now he is also known as the capital, and sooner or later he will be a Jinshi. As soon as he left, His Majesty was surrounded by those two surnamed Hu, offended them, and was careful of being stumbled. ”

Xiao Lin said angrily: "I'm not afraid of these two villains, they are not forbidden to the Thirteen Yamen, can they control us?" ”

As he was talking, he saw Wu Jie walking in, and he stood up at the same time as Gonggong An, and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, Mr. Wu is here, Your Majesty is thinking of you, and commanded, as soon as you arrive, I will lead you over to face the saint." ”

"What did you just say, but there are new people in the palace?" Wu Jie took out a pack of pine nuts and peanuts and almonds from his arms and threw them on the table: "Xiaolin, I heard that you don't have any other hobbies, so you like to eat some snacks, so I brought them in." ..., Kobayashi: "It's rare for Mr. to remember me as a mustard character." His face was full of emotion, and his attitude became courteous: "Sir, Your Majesty, you better go over quickly, you are not here, no one writes green words for the old man, and the cats and dogs have jumped out to invite pets." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Wu Jie nodded, and walked towards the depths of the leopard room, in the direction of Emperor Jiajing's retreat, under the leadership of Eunuch An and Eunuch Lin.

He understood a little, it should be during the period when he didn't come to the leopard room often, because he didn't write a green word to the emperor, someone took this opportunity to get out and want to take his place.

Qingzi this kind of thing is the Ming Dynasty Taoist sacrifice to the gods of Jiao when the indispensable thing, the people of Zhai Jiao in the hook of heaven, earth, people and gods, but there is a request, all with cinnabar to write what you want to say on the green rattan paper, after reciting the ode to the heavens, so that the gods and the heavens can see.

Originally, Emperor Jiajing had a large group of good young poets around him, such as Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Zhang Juzheng, etc., all of whom were first-class masters in the literary world of this era.

Helplessly, a while ago, Wu Jie defeated the Yan family's father and son in green words, and Yan Shifan was busy fighting with him in poetry recently. And Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, as cabinet assistants, encountered a lot of things at the end of the year, and they had no time to enter the palace to serve as a marquis. As for Li Chunfang, she was exercising outside and hadn't shown up for a long time.

Therefore, in the past two months, the green words needed by Jiajing when setting up the incense case were all taken care of by Wu Jie.

It is estimated that the father and son of the Hu family came up in their absence.

"By the way, what is the origin of the Hu family's father and son you are talking about, and how are the green words done?" Wu Jiezhi is in the imperial examination, and now all his thoughts are on the Jinshi Branch, not only must he be successful, but he must also get a good ranking in order to enter the Hanlin Academy.

Therefore, he didn't pay attention to the fact that someone came to steal his job and competed for favor in front of the emperor.

After all, if the scholars of the Ming Dynasty wanted a good future, the only way could only be the imperial examination. Otherwise, even if you gain trust from the emperor again, it will not be the mainstream after all. Those who are as talented and have an IQ as high as Yan Shifan, just because they were born in the country, they did not have a Jinshi, even if they entered the cabinet, they would be criticized, and they felt that they couldn't raise their heads.

Wu Jie originally thought that the father and son of the Hu family were the same as himself, and it was estimated that they were also some famous talents and people. But Eunuch An's answer surprised him a little.

Eunuch An said: "Mr. Wu, speaking of this Hu family's father and son, they are also old men in the palace. Don't get me wrong, sir, they are not eunuchs, but Taoist priests. The father and son of the Hu family, the father's name is Hu Dashun, and the son's name is Hu Yuanyu, a native of Huanggang, Hubei. Ben became a Taoist monk in a small Taoist temple, and later I didn't know how to meet Tao Zhongwen Tao Immortal. After his introduction, the father and son dedicated a volume of "The Golden Book of Longevity" to His Majesty, voted for the heart of long live, was recruited into the palace for worship, and got an official position of four grades. These two people were originally practicing in Zhonghai's Evergreen Temple, and recently refined a furnace of elixir, and were ordered to serve His Majesty, burning incense and sacrificing to the sky all day long, but they refused to be idle for a moment. ”

Little Eunuch Lin interjected: "When Mr. is serving His Majesty, he is kind, and the big guys like to be close to you." But this Hu family father and son really hate it, especially the one named Hu Yuanyu, who saw the green words you made, and made a lot of nonsense, saying that this thing is far from the Taoist avenue, and it is heresy. When we listened to it, we were also resentful in our hearts, and Mr.'s article was really well written. What the Hu family father and son wrote, it is purely a ghost painting peach talisman, and it can coax the long live master. ”

As they were talking, the three of them walked into the corridor outside the Jiajing Retreat, and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest walking over proudly, probably hearing Eunuch Lin's words, he snorted in his nose, and stopped directly in front of the three of them. stared at Eunuch Lin with an annoyed face, and there seemed to be a green flame flickering in his triangular eyes: "Long live Lord is playing Jiao, and I will take the elixir of immortality refined by my father and son later." Now that it is a critical time for the dragon and tiger to meet, if you go in, if it affects the cultivation of the Long Live Lord, can you afford to suffer the sin? "..., Eunuch Kobayashi is also a young man, and young people always have a temper. In the past, it was because Wu Jie was not there, and the emperor wanted to borrow the father and son of the Hu family, so he gave in. Now that Wu Jie is back, he has confidence in his heart, and his voice is louder: "Yo, it's quite serious!" Do you know who this gentleman is? ”

Xiao Lin proudly pointed at Wu Jie and asked rhetorically.

"Who is this gentleman, is it the cabinet or the minister of the six ministries?" The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Wu Jie, although the young scholar in front of him was not wearing an official uniform, he could behave calmly and gracefully, and naturally had a powerful aura.

He had only seen this kind of aura in the nobles of the court, and he didn't feel a little timid in his heart.

In fact, the middle-aged Taoist priest thought about it, not because of Wu Jie's status. The key is that modern people have the habit of despising authority, and the concept of equality has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This made the middle-aged Taoist priest think that this was a person with status, and his momentum suddenly became a little shorter.

As soon as the words were spoken, the middle-aged Taoist priest felt that something was wrong. The young man in front of him is only a teenager, how can he be the elder of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries?

Sure enough, Eunuch Xiaolin laughed loudly: "Daoist Hu, so that you know that this gentleman is Mr. Wu Shizhen of Wu Festival, who is talked about every day in Long Live Day." ”

Wu Jie smiled: "In the Lower Wu Festival, a small lifter, not an adult, dare to ask who is the chief?" ”

"It turns out that you are Wu Jie, hum!" Knowing that he had recognized the wrong person, the middle-aged Taoist priest had a sinister face, and deliberately raised his head high, pretending to be contemptuous: "This Taoist surname is Hu Mingyuanyu, and he has been serving His Majesty in the palace for more than ten years, you haven't heard of it yet, right?" ”

He deliberately said a few words loudly for His Majesty for more than ten years, reminding Wu Jie that he is the old man next to His Majesty, and you are still a little tender.

Wu Jie's name Hu Yuanyu has been famous for a long time, and he knows that he has won the emperor's favor in green words, and now he has soared to the sky. Qingzi Jiaozhai was originally a guy for Taoist priests to eat, and many people relied on this set of kings to be favored and noble. However, in the past, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and others were cabinet assistants, and their identities were there, and it was difficult for the Hu family father and son to say anything.

And Wu Jie, like them, is just an ordinary person, why should he come to grab our lottery.

Because of this, the more popular Wu Jie became in the emperor's place, the more he aroused the jealousy of the Hu family's father and son.

"Oh, it turned out to be Chief Nonsense." Wu Jie arched his hand casually, and was about to walk forward: "I'm going to face the saint." ”

Hu Yuanyu spread his arms, sealed the entire corridor, and sneered: "Are you deaf, what Ben Dao said just now couldn't be clearer, Long Live Lord is playing Jiao, and I will take the elixir of immortality refined by my father and son later." Now that it is a critical time for the dragon and tiger to meet, if you go in, if it affects the cultivation of the Long Live Lord, can you afford to suffer the sin? ”

This was said very politely, Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and his face sank.

In the past six months, he has been very prosperous in the capital, even a character like Xiaoge Lao, although he is in trouble with him, he can see the face, and everyone still maintains this basic politeness and decency. Perhaps, in Yan Shifan's mind, he has regarded Wu Jie as a figure on an equal footing with him.

Wu Jie hadn't heard such ugly words for a long time, and he was suddenly a little uncomfortable.

Eunuch Xiaolin said angrily: "Hu Yuanyu, you are so bold, Your Majesty has said before that once Mr. Shizhen arrives, no matter when, you can directly enter the meditation house to face the saint." What do you dare to stop sir? ”

Hu Yuanyu continued to sneer: "Taking the elixir of immortality this time is very important, although Wu Jie's green words are well written, but what is it, he doesn't know alchemy, what's the use of going?" "Why is it useless?" At this time, a person who came out of Jiajing's fine house was Huang Jin, who had not been seen for many days.

"Grandpa Huang." Eunuch Xiaolin and Eunuch An hurriedly bowed their hands.

"Be quiet, be quiet." Huang Jin still had a kind expression, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't disturb the Holy Servant Dan, Wu Jie, Yuanyu, come in." ”

Hu Yuanyu's words of the eunuch are still difficult to refute, but his father and son have been getting carried away these days, and they have become frivolous, and they are suddenly unhappy: "Wu Jie doesn't know how to do alchemy, what use can he use if he goes in?" As for Qingzi, my father and son can do it well. ”

"Is it really good?" The majestic voice came from the house, it was Jiajing's voice. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date." Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. The moon does not relieve drinking, and the shadow disciples follow me...... Hu Yuanyu, how do you think this poem is written, and it can also be the same? Huang Jin, recited, let him listen to it all. ”

"Yes, Hooray." Huang Jin answered, cleared his throat, and recited the poem from beginning to end, until the last sentence: "And you must drink good wine, and ride the moon to get drunk on the high platform." ”

"Okay, hearty, happy!" Jiajing let out a long roar: "This poem is well done, but Wu Jie, do you know what mistakes you made, what a damn thing!" ”

This sentence was said so murderously that people's hearts tightened.

When Hu Yuanyu heard Jiajing's anger, his face turned happy, and he looked at Wu Jie with a gloating expression.

Wu Jie replied quietly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know. ”

Jiajing laughed loudly: "Your fault is that this poem is really written in a magnificent manner, and I have practiced in vain for more than 50 years, which can be described as firm-minded and unfortunate." But as soon as I saw your poem, many years of Taoism were also broken by you. As the saying goes, poetry strikes people and wants to break Zen, to borrow a sentence from your "Stone Record". ”

Huang Jin also covered his mouth and laughed quietly: "Long live Lord, you have golden mouths and jade teeth, I am afraid that Wu Jie will not be able to afford it, and you will be blessed." ”

Hearing this, the smugness on Hu Yuanyu's face froze.

Jiajing finished laughing and shouted, "Wu Jie, don't come in soon." I was about to take Hu Shenxian's elixir, I was just about to break my fast, and I was missing a green word, you came just in time, and my heart was full of joy. ”

Wu Jie: "Yes, the minister will come in." ”

He glanced back at Hu Yuanyu with a smile, and saw that Hu Yuanyu's eyes were full of jealousy.

Wu Jie knew that this was a villain, and he was extremely bored in his heart.

It seems that the father and son of the Hu family must have thought that I, Wu Jie, had robbed them of their jobs. It's a pity that in their eyes, the emperor's favor is as big as the sky. But Wu Jie didn't take it to heart. The most important thing for a scholar is to be famous as a scholar, but he is not pretending to be a ghost in the Taoist temple and engaging in feudal superstition.

When Wu Jie and Hu Yuanyu entered Emperor Jiajing's house, they saw an old Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face sitting cross-legged on the futon inside, this person was probably Hu Yuanyu's father Hu Dashun, he was wearing a green silk robe, spotless. Coupled with the fact that he was born with good facial features, fairy wind and bones, and excellent shopping appearance, it is no wonder that he won the favor of the emperor.

If he was born as obscene as his son Hu Yuanyu, it is estimated that he would not be able to enter Jiajing's eyes.

"This is Hu Dashun Hu Shenxian." Jiajing pointed to the Taoist priest and introduced Wu Jie.

Wu Jie is also a lifter now, and he will be a jinshi in the future. In addition, this father and son have already regarded themselves as enemies, so naturally they will not be close to him, and only bow their heads slightly.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, it turns out to be Mr. Wu Shizhen, who has recently become famous in the capital!" Hu Dashun stood up, a head, with a smile on his face, looking polite.

I haven't started to make Jiao yet, and I haven't set up an incense case.

The emperor pointed to the cinnabar pen and the green vine on the long case: "Wu Jie, there is a lack of a green word, you came just in time." ”

"Do the holy thing." Wu Jie stepped forward and was about to start writing, but the emperor stopped him: "Forget it, don't write." Even if I write it again, I can't write your poem "Drinking Alone Under the Moon", alas, my mind has been turning over and over in the past few days, and I have been a little soulless. ”

"That's the fault of the minister."

Jiajing is wearing extremely thin clothes today, which makes people feel cold when they look at it.

He waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "I already know about the two competitions between you and Yan Shifan, haha, Xiao Yan is self-absorbed and talented, and he lost in your hands this time, and I guess I am also sad in my heart." Okay, good, he just knows it's sad. Wu Jie, I heard that you told a joke about Yan Song in front of others at the Li family's birthday banquet, and since you are here today, you will tell that joke and listen to it. ”

Wu Jie was shocked when he heard it, that joke was taken out of the joke collection of later generations in order to eliminate the tension in Caiyun and Yiyi's hearts, and there were few people in the room at that time, how could this Jiajing know.

His ears and eyes were so sharp that they were truly terrifying.

Wu Jie suddenly remembered that he saw Chen Hong, the governor of Dongchang by chance that day, and he was even more surprised in his heart, realizing that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

ps: It seems that many readers have issued monthly passes, and the books on the list of historical classified monthly passes have won a lot in the past two days. I'm also joining in the fun, asking for a little bit from everyone, thank you for your support!
