Seeing Xu Pengju coming, Long Qing said happily: "This is not the court, Uncle Xu doesn't need to thank you, please get up quickly." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to personally lift Xu Peng up, after all, he was an old man with gray hair.

"Don't dare, don't dare" Xu Pengju said respectfully: "The emperor is the emperor, and this etiquette cannot be abandoned at any time." ”

I don't know what the relationship between the two is, Long Qing is called Uncle Xu, it seems that the relationship is comparable to Gao Gong.

Like Xu Pengju, these family disciples, the fate of their families and the Ming royal family are closely linked, in addition to common interests, they marry each other, and their children will also regularly associate to promote relationships, like Xu Pengju's sons Xu Bangning and Xu Bangrui, during the gilding of the military department, they also visited Yuwang's mansion.

The relationship between the two is so good, it should be that before Xu Pengju served as the prince of the country, he established a friendship with Longqing, who was still King Yu at that time.

Yu Jin noticed that this well-known straw bale prince is pampered on weekdays, that is, he is in his early fifties, with gray hair, old age, and vague steps when walking, not to mention comparing with Huang Zhong, a seventy-year-old veteran who can still go into battle to kill the enemy, and Xu Jie, who is also much older.

You must know that Xu Jie, who was born in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, calculates his age, and is now thirty in his sixties, older than Xu Pengju, but now Xu Jie, who is proud of the spring breeze, revolves around official affairs and state affairs every day, that is, the more he lives, the more energetic he is, and the younger he is.

Yu Jin was very suspicious, Xu Pengju, who was also a gentleman, secretly "tributed" many beauties to King Yu, so that King Yu was particularly favored.

When it comes to lust, the two are definitely on the same path.

Xu Pengju finished saluting Longqing, and greeted Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, a gentleman and two officials, the scene was like a friend who hadn't seen him for many years, not to mention how enthusiastic.

It's hard to stop. Yu Jin greeted with a smile: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Guogong. ”

"Who is this?"

Yu Jin immediately said: "Zhan Shifu Cheng Yu Jin, I have long admired the name of the Duke of Guo. ”

Xu Pengju suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a great talent of Yu who shook the north and south of the country, haha, it is really a young talent, rare, rare." ”

This is definitely deliberate. He was closest to him just now, but Xu Pengju chose to ignore it, pretending to find out at this time, and his enthusiasm made people feel hypocritical.

"Don't dare, don't dare" Yu Jin laughed at himself: "Xia Guan is only from a showman's background, so he is lucky, and he inadvertently made two small poems, what a talent, I really dare not be ashamed." ”

"Then work harder. With your talents, the test for fame must be easy, and when you enter the champion Jinshi, no one will dare to criticize, my father is very optimistic about you. Xu Pengju originally wanted to make an article about Yu Jin's identity as a showman, but he didn't expect Yu Jin to laugh at himself first, which made him angry and couldn't speak, but this time his good IQ was super high. After a pause, he quickly said in an old-fashioned manner.

Ni Mei. When it comes to it, no one criticizes, and the subtext is that he is very controversial now.

If you want to take the meritorious test, what should you do with this official position now? Resign and go to the test again?

Yu Jin is willing to give up this money, and he doesn't want to suffer from that torture, if he plunges into the eight-strand text, he will study for a year and a half or something. Maybe the whole person will become stupid.

Fame is a stepping stone, the door is open, Yu Jin doesn't want to close it by himself, so he turns his head and looks for the stepping stone.

Fortunately, Yu Jin has not answered yet. Long Qing on the side had already relieved him of the siege: "Uncle Xu, this is not good, I have just ascended the throne, and the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, and it is the time to employ people, so you can't let him go." ”

"Don't dare, the old minister is also joking" Xu Pengju said with a smile: "Yufu is famous all over the world, and he is recognized as a talent, and he doesn't need to prove it with fame, right." ”

This Duke of Wei targeted himself as soon as he came.

Nine times out of ten, it was a matter of the island, and he gritted his teeth and offered it, so that his bamboo basket was empty, so he hated himself, in the end, he didn't trouble him, he took the lead.

There's no way, who made him a hereditary prince, and he was just a small mansion?

According to the secret information sent by Qing'er, Xu Pengju is very likely to participate in the sea trade, and the scale is not small, and he came to Beijing at this time, and the purpose is very suspicious.

"Lord Guogong praises falsely, these are all false names, false names." Yu Jin hurriedly said.

Longqing was born an optimist, and he didn't have so many worries, and when he saw everyone standing, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down.

Yu Jin happened to be sitting next to Xu Pengju.

"Yu Fucheng." Xu Pengju sat on the chair, held his stomach and suddenly spoke.

"The lower official is here."

Xu Pengju said with a smile: "It's a banquet now, you don't have to be so restrained, what, alone?" Don't have any family members with you? ”

"Here, they went to Concubine Li to say goodbye, Lord Guogong won't be alone, right?"

"Hehe, Mrs. said that she hadn't seen the little prince for some days, so she went to find the concubine Niangniang, I guess they are chatting, regardless of them, let's have a drink first."

Seeing Xu Pengju pick up the wine glass, Yu Jin also picked up the wine glass and touched him lightly, and then drank it all.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact it was a friendship between monarchs and ministers, and the Li family was very discerning, and took all the female dependents to her, so that Longqing was easy to talk about.

After drinking, Yu Jin whispered: "Lord Guogong, why don't the two young masters in the house see anyone?" Didn't they come? ”

Xu Bangrui helped Xu Bangning to be Xu Pengju's sons, the two of them were trained in the military department, and they also served as conveners during the Tan Zhe Poetry Club.

"It's not peaceful in the west, and those two unsuccessful guys have been sent to the west to inspect the situation." Xu Pengju said with some smugness.

At this time, there was no war, and even if I went to the west, I didn't see any danger, which was a good opportunity for gilding.

Yu Jin nodded suddenly in understanding.

After everyone sat down, they talked about it, most of them were the political affairs and border situations in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Ministry of Response, which had some changes, and talked for nearly half an hour, but Xu Jie and Zhu Xizhong were still missing from the list of invitations from Longqing, and the banquet could not be launched in time for a while.

Xu Jie is the "chief manager" of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a lot of things to deal with, and he has been busy digging a new river recently.

The Yellow River water is turbid, there is a large amount of sediment in the water, the water is slowly deposited on the riverbed, so that the riverbed continues to rise, when the water level reaches a certain height, it will cause the embankment to burst, at the beginning of the year, Xinxu, Pet Jiatun and other places burst the embankment, flooded for thousands of miles, Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, decided to dig the new river to channel, now is the critical moment of the project, Xu Jie, did not dare to relax for a moment.

Xu Jie couldn't be busy, and Zhu Xizhong was not idle, the replacement of the old and the new was successfully completed, and the capital was too peaceful, but Shaanxi was restless, and there was information that someone was secretly active and attempted to rebel, and he was very busy every day.

That's it, everyone arrived, but these two were still late.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little down, Zhang Juzheng's heart moved, pointed to the slowly rising full moon and said: "This year's bright moon looks particularly bright and bright." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked up, and sure enough, at some point, night began to fall, and a full moon as big as a basin rose in the sky, radiating a soft and bright light towards the earth, like a gentle mother, covering all things on the earth with a light veil.

Gao Gong sighed a little: "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." I hope that the people of Daming can reunite with their families at this moment, enjoy the beautiful scenery and share the peace. ”

Long Qing was in awe when he heard this, and said with a serious face: "This is also my wish." ”

Zhang Juzheng complimented: "The emperor is the destiny of heaven, the blessing of the sky, there is such a pity for the people, this is the blessing of the people, it is rare to have such a good scenery, and the people are so together, it is better for the emperor to come up with a topic, improvise a poem, and the monarch and the ministers will drink together under the moon, maybe it will be a good story to spread out." ”

"Good! It's good to compose poems, I'm most happy to improvise poems, Your Majesty, let's make a proposition. Xu Pengju said happily.

Long Qing looked at Xu Pengju and said with some doubts: "Uncle Xu, when did you like to compose poems?" ”

Not only Long Qing, but also Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and even Yu Jin who were present, also looked at Xu Pengju with a curious face, and everyone had a suspicious look in their eyes.

It's not that he underestimates this Wei Guogong, but he really has nothing to praise, he can't do anything, he can't do anything, he is a good hand at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng present are all from the imperial examination.

It is Longqing, and the three Confucians of the current dynasty have trained them, and their skills are not bad, although they show that Longqing's "combat effectiveness" on the face

It's not high, but he's the emperor, so you don't have to participate in the competition, and you can still ask questions.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a strange face, Xu Pengju laughed, saluted Long Qing and said: "The emperor still knows the old minister best, that's right, this poem can't be done, if you can't do it, the old minister is willing to admit punishment, and it's better to punish late than early." ”

After speaking, he picked up a pot of wine, didn't even use a wine glass, took off the lid and poured it down his throat, and after a while, the pot of wine was drunk.

After drinking, Xu Pengju also lowered the mouth of the bottle, laughed and said: "Others are the first to do it for respect, and the old minister will sell the old one, and the first punishment will be for respect." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Xu" Long Qing gave Xu Peng a thumbs up and said, "Good amount of wine." ”

Xu Peng held a ceremony and said that he didn't dare, and then said with a smile: "The old minister has already admitted the punishment, so he won't be ugly, please ask the emperor to make a question, let the old giant also see the excitement, rare, it's really rare, Bachelor Gao and Zhang Songde are both great Confucians in the dynasty, only eight buckets and five cars, and Yu Fucheng is a hero out of the youth, and it is a blessing to be able to witness the competition of the three." ”

"It's not enough to punish the wine" Long Qing said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, which one wins in a while, you still have to get a lottery." ”

Xu Pengju pretended to be bitter and said: "The emperor has opened his mouth, and the old minister obeys the order." ”

The expression of "flesh pain" on his face made Longqing laugh, and finally finished laughing, Longqing thought for a while, and quickly pointed to the full moon on the horizon and said: "What a beautiful round of full moon, August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so take the Mid-Autumn Festival as the theme, and write a poem." ”

"Obey." Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Yu Jin respectfully expressed their orders.

The theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival is not cold and secluded, but Yu Jin couldn't help frowning.
