The threshold of Xufu is higher.

This is the opinion of many officials in Beijing, the Chinese New Year is approaching, many officials want to walk around the Xu Mansion, brush their faces, get close, and then there is any good thing to promote or make money, Lord Shoufu can also think of himself first, but unfortunately, Xu Jie refused this kind of contact on the grounds of official business, so that many people have no way to visit.

Most of them have eaten behind closed doors.

However, as a disciple valued by Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng knocked on the door of the Xu Mansion without any twists and turns.

If you don't pay attention to it, Xu Jie will not recommend Zhang Juzheng to be Yuwang's lecturer.

"Students meet their teachers." As soon as he saw Xu Jie's study in Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng respectfully saluted Xu Jie.

For Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng is grateful from the bottom of his heart, of course, at least now he is very grateful, if it weren't for Xu Jie's recommendation, the fat difference of Right Chunfang and Right Yude would definitely not be on his head.

Xu Jie's interest was not high, and he didn't have to be polite to his students, so he waved his hand and said, "Uncle is here, sit down." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Juzheng was also not polite, and sat down at the bottom of the head, in order to show respect for some teachers, he sat down diagonally, and half of his butt was exposed.

"Teacher, are you still bothering about that incident?" After Zhang Juzheng sat down, he whispered.

After more than ten years of forbearance, Xu Jie can be said to have worked hard, eradicated Yan Song as he wished, sat in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and sat in the position of the first assistant, this is a very good minister, it stands to reason that he can rest easy, but the shrewd Zhang Juzheng knows that his mentor has always been obsessed with one thing, and this matter has something to do with Yan Song.

There are only Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng in the study, and Xu Jie doesn't hide much from his student, because in bringing down Yan Song, his student also contributed a lot behind his back, and he was sitting in the same boat.

"If you don't die if you fight a tiger, there will be trouble, Your Majesty, it's still too heavy on the old love." Xu Jie sighed.

"yes, it's cheap, old thief." Zhang Juzheng echoed.

Although Yan Song said that he fell, but he was not dead, this minister, good at writing green words, and good at figuring out the holy will, won the trust of Emperor Jiajing, the monarch and the minister got along for more than 20 years, Yan Song also had a good life for more than 20 years, in these 20 years, the monarch and the minister established a deep feeling, that is, the East Window incident, but so far, Yan Song is still alive and well.

He did everything possible to arrest Yan Song's most powerful assistant and his son Yan Shifan into Beijing, but this Yan Gongzi, who was known as the little prime minister, took off the shackles as soon as he arrived in the capital, openly accepted the banquets of some officials, and swaggered through the capital, while the officials of the imperial court turned a blind eye to them one by one.

How arrogant is it.

This is a slap in the face to Xu Jie, but Xu Jie's time for a while can't find a good way, and he doesn't dare to launch rashly, because he knows that he only has one chance, if the fatal blow doesn't work, then there will be endless troubles, so that after Yan Song fell, Xu Jie also pretended to send someone to Yan Song's hometown to greet him, and his attitude was very low.

In Jiajing's heart, it is enough to expel Yan Song, if the emperor wants to make up his mind to kill him, it is far from enough to rely on some evidence in his hand, and Yan Song has been operating in the court for many years, and he is full of wings, so he can't cut it all at once.

The worst point is that Jiajing has recently had the idea of recalling Yan Song, which is a dangerous signal, once Yan Song regains power, then Xu Jie's position will become very dangerous.

Zhang Juzheng lowered his voice and said: "Teacher, that Yan Song is just a rough man in the mountains, besides, he is old, the threat is there, but he is not afraid, he fights the snake and hits seven inches, as long as we beat his seven inches, then we will win the game." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yan Shifan" Zhang Juzheng said with a straight face: "Yan Song is terrible, but as long as he beats Yan Shifan, who he trusts and relies on the most, then a big thing can be done, this person is the pillar of the Yan Party, as long as he dies, Yan Song will not be in trouble." ”

Xu Jie responded, and then said helplessly: "The old man has also thought about this matter, but Yan Shifan is too cunning, and ordinary charges can't move him, so he is distressed." ”

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, and soon had an idea, and said in a low voice: "Yan Song's father and son have served the emperor for many years, they can be degraded and dismissed, but they cannot be killed, and the emperor is also a person of great affection, if you want to move him, unless it is a crime like rebellion." ”

Seeing that Xu Jie's didn't speak, Zhang Juzheng didn't dare to hang Xu Jie's appetite, and continued: "Yan Shifan was supposed to be exiled, but he absconded home halfway, and he recklessly built a mansion in his hometown because he was guilty, and he was arrested because he injured someone, but being a deserter will definitely not cure him for capital crimes, but that house can do some articles, for example, the land in that house is a treasure land of feng shui, with dragon energy, Yan Song's father and son have controlled the court for many years, I don't know how much people's fat and people's ointment have been scraped, maybe these are stolen goods in collusion with the Japanese Kou"

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Xu Jie stood up excitedly, touched his beard and said, "With Uncle's words, the strict thief is not far from the day of death, hahaha." ”

As an emperor, the most afraid is that others will rob him of his country, Jiajing is a person of faith, even to the extent of poisoning, not only to test the medicine, take the pill for decades, because of the theory that the two dragons do not see each other, forcibly separated from their own flesh and blood for decades, ignoring his son, Yan Shifan set up a mansion in a place where there is dragon energy, that is a sign of rebellion, and then there is evidence of collusion with the Japanese Kou, it is certain death.

The master and apprentice conspired in the study for a long time, and then it turned to another topic.

Xu Jie drank a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "Uncle, has the appointment of the imperial court arrived?" ”

"It's here, thank you for the cultivation" Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, and saluted respectfully to Xu Jie as he spoke.

"No need to be polite" Xu Jie waved his hand and said with a straight face: "The old man recommended you, not because you are my student, but because you fancy your character and talent, I believe that you can teach King Yu a good lesson, teach the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch and the ministers, and the Ming Dynasty can be prosperous and strong. ”

After that, he said with a serious face: "Uncle, this is a big responsibility, you must counsel carefully, don't be careless, if you don't teach well, the old man won't leave you half a face." ”

"Thanks to Master En's teachings, students must do their best and die."

Xu Jieman nodded and said, "Very good, uncle, sit down and talk." ”

"Thank you."

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng is like an obedient little brother, respectful and respectful, and does not dare to have the slightest indulgence.

After Zhang Juzheng sat down, Xu Jie spoke: "Uncle, you have been in Yuwang's Mansion for almost four years to serve as Youzhongyun of Youchunfang, right?" ”

"The teacher has a good memory, and the student is the right Zhongyun of the right spring fang in the spring of the thirty-ninth year, and it has been almost four years."

"Well, four years, it's not long, it's not short, uncle, what do you think of His Royal Highness King Yu?"

Behind the evaluation of an emperor, or a prince who is about to become an emperor, even Zhang Juzheng is also a little hesitant: "Teacher, this"

Xu Jie knew his scruples, and said with a smile: "There are only two people in this study, you and me, the uncle has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

With Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng was relieved, and lowered his voice and said: "His Royal Highness King Yu treats people generously, but unfortunately he lacks assertiveness and enterprising heart. ”

After hesitating, he continued to whisper: "Yuwang is greedy for the joy of the bed, which is a bit excessive, which is also harmful to the dragon body, and the students have also admonished many times, but unfortunately Yuwang enters in the left ear and goes out in the right ear, which makes the students also very distressed." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie was also a little helpless.

In Yuwang's Mansion, there have been many lecturers, the famous ones are Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shizhan and the incoming Zhang Juzheng, etc., Xu Jie also served as a lecturer of Yuwang, knowing that this special student's temperament is to like beautiful women, and the degree to which he likes beautiful women is estimated to be comparable to his Laozi's alchemy.

The master and apprentice seemed to glance at each other with a sharp heart, and there was a little wordlessness between them.

The old Zhu family has a lot of talents, playing crickets, carpenters, alchemists, women, all kinds of emperors, but as courtiers, they have to defend them in every way.

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Uncle, the current emperor's dragon body is not good, and King Yu still needs to grow, according to your opinion, what is the best plan?" ”

Jiajing's health is getting worse day by day, but King Yu, as the heir, does not yet have the temperament of a Ming Jun, which makes Xu Jie very anxious, which is also the reason why he recommended his student Zhang Juzheng as the right Yude of Youchunfang.

On the one hand, he believes in his ability, and on the other hand, he is his own person, and he has a good relationship with the future Son of Heaven as much as possible, which is also a way to stabilize his position, in particular, Xu Jie found that Gao Gong was not as obedient as he imagined.

"Change, Wang Jiefu (Wang Anshi) said, if you are poor, you will think about change, change will be successful, and if you are general, you will benefit." Zhang Juzheng said without hesitation.

"Oh, why do you need to change?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a straight face: "King Yu's situation is a little special, because the two dragons do not meet, do not wait for the current emperor to see, and there is no prince so far, on the contrary, King Jing is more favored, every day is trembling, decades are like a day, and Gao Suqing (Gao Gong) also protects King Yu too thoroughly, and hides in King Yu's mansion, although there is less danger, but there is also less grinding, so, King Yu needs some changes." ”

"How?"

"The students believe that there are some companion scholars around Yuwang, and these scholars are best from the people, so that Yuwang can better understand the people's suffering, have a broader vision, more thoughtful thinking, and a more cheerful temperament, and teach Yuwang in a silent and subtentive way."

Xu Jie frowned and said, "The best man and scholar, do you want to come from the people?" Isn't it good to choose from the young talents of the Guozijian or the wealthy families? I'm afraid that those folk talents are vulgar and don't understand the rules, but they misunderstand King Yu. ”

"Not good" Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Young young people like Guozijian or wealthy families are good, but most of them have been polished to no edges and corners, and they have become more utilitarian. ”
